January 1st, 20XY. The massive tree in the middle of Takahashi Plaza which was the pride and joy of the commercial shopping center was still up, and the plans to take it down wouldn't go into effect for another week and a half. It was still early in the morning and only a few cleaning people drifted in and out of their routine areas, oblivious to the comings and goings of most early shoppers. One slender figure, indistinct to all, drifted slowly towards the tree, before gently touching one of the brances. Time appeared to stand still for a moment as a series of colored lines of light drifted out along the tree before reality returned to its normal state. The indistinct figure gazed lingeringly at the tree before drifting out of the shopping center. The only thing distinct about this figure, was the sense of self-satisfaction as it disappeared in the city.

[Where we left off a few days ago...]

"So, what are you going to do now?" The man asked, looking at Jahnavi for a bit.

She shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. "I don't know, check out a motel or something."

"I meant about Kishore," He said, turning his eyes back to the road. "I can only keep him in the dark for so long. He's bound to find out I helped you escape one of these days."

She nodded, "Yeah, too bad it sorta failed."

Pulling up to a curb, the car stopped and Jahnavi stepped out. Closing the door behind her she let out a small breath.

Rolling down his window, the man looked out and said, "Just be careful. I'd help you out more, but that'd run the risk of both of us getting caught."

Jahnavi nodded before walking away from the car. "Yeah, sure thanks..."

-----

"Mmmm...."

Jahnavi let out a brief yawn as she woke up from her sleep. Stretching out her limbs, she cracked her back and sighed. It had been a couple days since she left home and, she had been shelter hopping from day to day. Two nights ago she stayed in a small shelter, and last night in the attic of a bakery.

Then smell of fresh donuts being baked was the first thing she was greeted with in the morning, and she loved it.

But how to get breakfast? Was the big question she had in mind.

The scene was tense as seven young men sat around a table, staring at a grid with seven one inch tall figurines sitting on top. Four of the figurines were tipped over on their sides, with the remaining three, one depicting a fiery red demon, the second depicting an armoured Knight, and the last representing a robed wizard facing each other.

The young man sitting at the head of the table nad behind a small cardboard screen, one Shou Nakamura, looked over to Ryuji who sat to his right. He met the gazes of the six others sitting around him, and they shied away. Cracking his neck Shou rolled some dice behind his screen. "Well, looks like that last burning gout of Hellfire from Barrok Flayer of Souls took out El Mardico...unless he has more than 50 hitpoints left? No? Then it's down to Sir Tristan to save the Multiverse as we know it."

Ryuji gulped and nodded. He plucked a 20 sided die from the tabletop and rolled it between his fingers for a moment before cupping his hands together and releasing the small plastic die. It hit the surface of the table and rolled a few inches. And then it stopped. Ryuji quickly glanced at the sheet of paper in front of him. Adding some numbers in his head he grinned. "That gives me a total of 40. Easily goes through his AC, Shou."

Shou nodded. "Roll for Damage."

Ryuji picked up two six sided dice and rolled. "30 damage," Ryuji said with a nervous gulp. Shou smirked, "Sorry. Barrok staggers under your blow, and it looks like he's gonna fall over, but somehow he manages to stay on his feet."

Everyone around the table groaned, as Shou rolled some dice. "Wow two Critical Hits with his Two Handed Sword of Malignancy."

"T...two?"

"Yeah, and one normal hit. First one does 50 damage to Sir Tristan. 60 from the next. And the last does 23 point," Shou said. "I...I'm dead..."

"Guess the Multiverse is doomed then," Shou said, with an air of finality. Ryuji sighed and glanced back at his character sheet. "W...wait...I forget to add my bonus from Power Attack..."

"Sorry Ryuji no takebacks. Too bad too, Barrok only had ten more hitpoints left," Shou said. Everyone else groaned again. "WHAT?!"

The other players shook their heads, "Dammit."

"Ok guys I think we should tell him," Shou said. 'Tell me what?"

"Well....Ryuji we talked. And you're out."

"Out? Why?"

"This ist he third time in the last two weeks you've screwed up man. Your head isn't in the game, not since you hooked up with that girl," Shou said. "W...what?"

"Sorry man. But this is final. Pack up your dice."

Too shocked to say anything, Ryu nodded dumbly, swept his dice into his backpack. Standing up unsteadily he staggered to the door, and left without uttering a single word.

Stirring softly, Vincent moaned softly as he awoke to the world. Groaning with pain as he rolled onto his left shoulder, Vince's eyes opened to see the time - and sighed softly as he realized that he should go back to sleep...
...emphasis on should.

He'd spent last night out with a few dormmates, and probably drank a little too much sake... among other things.
"...gaah..." Vincent moaned softly as he sat up, rubbing at his head, "...note to self, don't go out with Hiroshi, Shiroh and Shinn without asprin in stock..."

Slowly standing up, Vincent rubbed at his shoulder - which was getting better slowly but surely. Taking off his shirt, Vincent sighed as he changed the wrapping for his shoulder - making sure that infection hadn't set in or something.
Yawning slightly, Vince was pleased to see nothing bad had happened... but he really wasn't feeling up to doing much for the moment. Changing the dressings on his shoulder, Vincent flopped back onto his bed and slowly drifted back to sleep.

It was morning now. New Year's Eve had been fairly unpleasant. Hiro's friends had called and asked him to come out, but brooding somehow seemed like the better option. The second Rider on the show, a rather busty woman of great attraction, was now getting all of the focus and Hiro's character was getting pushed further and further into the background.

"Le sigh..."

There was that... and he still hadn't seen Jahnavi since she left. Hiro really did miss her. He'd gone out looking for her a few times wondering if she might be in danger, but it was useless. All he had left were the memories... and this. This object he held in his hand that he longed long to redeliver. But alas...

Hiro pulled himself from his bed and slunk over to the kitchen. He withdrew a box from the cupboard and brought it with him to the living room. Cookies. They were his companion now.

"Le sigh..."

"Tch..." Johann groaned, wrapping up his left forearm gingerly as he sat in his hotel room. He had spent the days since enounctering that monster mostly on the look out. He had taken a break the previous night though to rest up for the coming days. He hadn't really done much to celebrate the New Year's... specifically since he didn't have anyone to spend it with. He wasn't perverse enough to hire an 'escort'; leaving him alone to himself with a bottle of wine, and whacky Japanese television. THe morning of January 1st was spent prepping for the days ahead.

Sliding a white t-shirt over his bare upper body, Johann stretched with a groan as he then slid on a red long sleeved shirt over that. Adjusting his clothing lightly, Johann reached over to a nightstand; grabbing his glasses and setting them on to his face as he let out a heavy sigh. Reaching to his side, he pulled up the Mauser. He ejected the clip, making sure it was a full one, before slamming it home and affixing it in to the waistpant of his pants with a grunt.

"Happy New Year indeed." Johann muttered with a sigh.

"Hey! Happy New Year!" Shuji called out as he walked into the packed Shadowy Cafeteria, waving to the various nameless and faceless henchmen.

"Yo Boss!" greeted one of the new Shadowy Employees, a young brown haired man by the name of Satsuki Mukami.

"How's it going, Mukami?" Shuji asked, stopping to adjust his suit a bit.

"It's okay, Takui and Rena should be here shortly." Mukami answered, shrugging his shoulders.

"Oh no." Shuji groaned, slapping his forehead.

"What?" Mukami asked, not understanding his superior's frustration.

"Takui is really shy around Rena, to the point of lockup." Shuji replied, rubbing his nose.

"Uh, sorry Boss, I forgot." Gosuke said as he sheepishly came over.

"It's my fault for not making sure that you made sure she behaved herself." Shuji answered, shaking his head.

"HATORRRRRRRRRRRRR
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
RRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!"
came an enraged shout, courtesy of Houji.

"WAAAAH, SHINMERU-SAMA IS MAD AT ME!" Rena wailed as she ran into the cafeteria to hide from the enraged Field Commander.

"Enzo..." Reika said, shaking the poor sputtering boy. "She's gone."

"Uh, thanks, Mushibre-sensei." Takui said, bowing repeatedly.

"Just get in the cafeteria." Houji snapped, clearly in a foul mood.

"Jeeze, it's new year's Shinmeru, buck up a bit." Reika said as Takui scrambled into the cafeteria.

"I doubt you'll say that for long." he answered back, before storming into the cafeteria.

"What's with him?"

"Ugh! My head!" groaned Nimbus as he woke up. Looking around, he realised that everyone has left already. Him and his friends were celebrating new years eve in the mountain. They were doing the usual stuff. You know, drinking and stuff.

Nimbus realised that something was wrong with him. He didn't have any shirt or pants on! He's only wearing his boxers. He remembered what happened last night. Or at least some of it. He drank too much. Because of the fact that he was angry at the spiders. He needed to release the stress of losing to a giant spider.

"Oh shit. How am I gonna get off the mountain with just my boxers? And it's DAMN COLD! What can I do? Oh yeah! RAO! I'll just borrow his clothes or something!"

Nimbus was glad that Rao had a dojo up in the mountains. But then he remembered something Knight said. It's something about how he should stay away from the dojo cause of the cops.

"Oh well, whatever. It's an emergency. Worst case scenario will be me getting caught for trespassing or something. Whatever..."

Looking out at the city skyline, an armored figure stayed motionless as it watched the city carefully, almost as if it expected some great secret to be revealed in the streets below. "So, a new year, eh...?"

Standing up, the masked figure known only as Kumoki folded it's arms and grinned behind it's blank faceplate. "It's finally about to start, then. The REAL battle."

"How many times is this now?"

Sitting the the cafeteria of the JSSDF headquarters, Aj picked up a slice of pizza and bit down into it. Earlier that day, he had given in his report to the Colonel, who sounded pleased with the results of the Rider System. After a few encouraging words, he was dismissed, but not before being told 'Happy New Year'... Happy indeed, considering he had just gotten his check. Now his only thoughts fells on what he would get with the money... Or if he should save it up to buy himself a new pad to live in. He and his friends had gotten wasted at his apartment, and the small space didn't exactly make things better... And speaking of friends...

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" both jake and Mike yelled in unison, before slapping Aj's back, who jumped up from the seat rather quickly. After learning it was just his friends, he clenched his fist.

"Dammit you 2, haven't I told you NOT to sneak up on me and yell like that!? I was about to pull my gun out on you... Anyways, thanks for the sentiments, have a slice of pizza." Aj offered, showing them the box of pizza. Both jake and Mike obliged, as they sat down next to him, before taking 2 slices for themselves. After all, the best things in life were free... Even better if they were free from your friend.

"Man, that was some party the other night, huh? I gotta say, that's the first time I ever had Sake, and it sure as hell won't be the last. We should get together for more social events like that. The only other time we get to hang out is on the job." Jake said with a grin, taking a bite out of his pizza. Mike nodded in agreement, taking a bite out of his own slice.

"We know how much you wanted a new place to live, so we're thinking about putting all of our cash together to get ourselves a house we can all live in. Granted, there's a few problems with that, but beyond that, the good outweighs the bed." Mike replied, patting Aj on the back. immediately, Aj began to wonder how life would be if they all lived under one roof... And lowered his head to the table at the image that appeared in his head... Somehow, he felt all social life as he knew it, would come to an end.

"The thought is nice, I guess... First, I need to actually look into what kind of house. Then I need to check how many people it can hold. Considering the way I am, I won't be getting married anytime soon, so a pad for the 3 of us sounds ok... Shouldn't be TOO hard to find, right?" Aj said, starting to eat the crust of his pizza after finishing the main part. However, jake and Mike weren't listening... They were too busy thinking about how to best design their own rooms, regardless of what Aj said.

"Why do i even bother..." Aj groaned.

"How many times do I have to tell you to behave yourself on duty?" Shuji reprimanded Rena, glowering at her in mock rage. "Do I have to start getting a hose on turning it on you everytime you misbehave?!"

"N-no sir." she said, turning her head down in false shame.

"That's good, because I can't keep this angry face up for too much longer." he replied, drawning chortles from the group surrounding him.

"Nice one Boss." Mukami chimed in, heedless of the deathglare being put on them by Houji.

"He just needed an enraged shout to punctuate it." Gosuke said, shaking his head and slapping Takui on the back. "Right Takui?"

"Uh, yeah yeah, sure sure." Takui said nervously.

"Yeah, but I don't have the vocal range for it like Houji does." Shuji said, adjusting his tie, followed by a quick comb of his hair.

"You going to let him get away with that?" Reika asked Houji, who shook his head.

"I can't do anything." he answered, pointing at the suit Shuji was wearing. "He got promoted."

"Promoted? To what, head asshole?" Reika answered back loudly.

"Lovely to see you too, Reika. Tell me, are you cranky because it's so cold out and you're not allowed to wear pants?" Shuji asked, rolling his eyes at her. A quick burst of fake laughter greeted the jab, a signal that the verbal spat had started.

"I see that you once again see fit to mock your superiors. What's with the suit, feel the need to go the extra step to mock Commander Shinmeru?" she shot back, trying to belittle him.

"Nah, I'm too pretty to match his bulldog face." he retorted, mugging a bit as his entourage cheered him on. "Besides, you haven't been my superior since Lee joined."

"Oh really? I guess a worm like you would know that he's naturally inferior to someone like me." Reika said hotly, turning her face away in disgust to Shuji's peacock routine.

"A worm? I guess you would make a bug crack, but you seem to have a fetish for them. Maybe I should transform and give you something plesant to think of tonight." Shuji said, waving the henshin brace at her.

"You you... you!" she sputtered, unable to think.

"Me me... me!" he mockingly said back, hands on his cheeks in mock shock.

"Grrrrrr... It's no suprise that since you must lack in other areas, you have to find enjoyment in brining others down to your level." she said, before lifting up her pinky finger. "In a lot of ways, you don't measure up."

"Oooo... that hurts. Really... it does." he deadpanned, before looking over at Rena. "You know, the plan was for her to dress up like you for today."

"What?" Reika asked, as Rena quirked an eyebrow at her boss.

"Two problems occured when Mukami here made these observations: One, her ass is nowhere near as big as yours, and two, we'd never find a watermelon big enough to make up the difference." he said, grinning wickedly.

"I HATE you." Reika said from between clinched teeth.

"I know, and it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside."

When Nimbus got to the dojo, he looked around to find out that no one is there. The place seems to be abandoned by its master.

Should I go inside to check, or should I just go back home with my boxers? Choices choices... Oh yeah! I can henshin too! Hmm... Whatever, I'll just go inside.

Nimbus walked inside the dojo. After taking off his shoes, he went inside to check whether Rao has some spare clothes or not. He checked the cupboard near the altar to find some old martial arts uniform.

"I'll just borrow this. I'll just text Rao to tell him about this."

After buying a dozen donuts from the bakery she spent the night in, Jahnavi sat down on a bench near a local library in town. Raising her hand up to cover her mouth while she yawned, she reached in the bag and pulled out a freshly baked glazed donut.

Taking a bite, she leaned forward as she thought about what to do. Due to her stubborn streak, going back home to Hiro's place was out of the question, at least for now. She was still angry at what had happened, and didn't want to come back yet. At the same time, she still had other things to worry about.

Or perhaps this was exactly the kind of thing she needed to happen.

Yawning as he exited the local library, Vincent moaned softly, trying to stay awake. He would have loved to stay in bed, but he'd forgotten about a research paper he'd promiced to write for a professor to ensure his grade wouldn't be an 'F.'
Slowly walking past a group of benches, Vincent paused, seeing a... very... familiar face.

Removing his sunglasses and dropping his books onto a nearby bench, Vincent smiled tiredly, "...so you're alive after all... That's good."

Swallowing a bit of donut, it took Jah a little while to answer right away. But when she did she nodded simply and answered, "And so I see that your stomach's still intact. You looked as if you were going to explode last time I saw you/"

Vince scratched at the back of his head, "Well... I did, really."
Gesturing to an open spot next to Jah, he asked, "May I?"

Sitting down near Jah, Vincent laughed nervously, "But... yeah... I did, actually. I can't control... er... myself... all that well..."
Rolling his sore left shoulder slightly, Vincent looked at Jah and raised an eyebrow, "You really must heal fast or something."

Vincent smiled softly, "Yeah, well you still got me beat. My shoulder still burns slightly, and I was only grazed deeply."
Leaning back on the bench and looking up into the sky, Vincent asked softly, "So... um... care to talk about what the hell was going on then...?"

Jahnavi just stared at Vincient's hand for a long time before saying anything. She just lowered her eyes a bit before letting out a harsh 'hmph'

"Jahnavi," she said finally, her eyes turning away from him for a moment. "Laxmibai."

Then after another moment, she grabbed his hand and shook it.

"Jahnavi. Laxmibai."

Vincent grinned lopsidedly, "I like it. It fits you - kinda cute too."
There was a brief pause and Vincent added, "Please don't kill me."
