  1. Let me answer the pirate question. 95 gold. :V
  2. "Ah ha... Sou desu... ne?" Amber nodded and muttered to herself as she retrieved her newspapers from the boy on the ground. 'Hey wait.. did he just speak English...?' It wasn't long before he answered her question. The boy stood up and turned to some other guy beside him. "I'm sorry but... could you please tell me why you felt the need to nearly knock me out? Just so we're clear and all." 'English!' "Ahhhhhghhhghghghhhhh!!!!!!!!" 'It... couldn't... be!?' Amber turned to the other boy and was shocked. Amber thought that he looked oddfully familiar earlier but she dismissed it as the "Other-Race-Effect". Now that she's directly infront, he looked awfully similar to this person in the Detective Conan Forums which she had acquainted with. He is the real deal! 'Noooooo. If he recognizes me, my private life's over! I...probably need to get out of here!' "Ahhhh hahaha! I...err... busy... need ... to ... run!" Amber smiles as she pretends to stumble over her English. "Shitsureshimasu!" Amber turned slowly and unsuspiciously to leave.
  3. Amber continued walking but some commotion raised her attention. She turned her head to a group of ppl causing the commotion and realized they look like foreigners. Foreigners love to disturb the peace in Japan huh? Amber followed the Japanese rule of thumb to "mind own's business" and ignored the commotion and tried to walk casually away. Suddenly a gust of wind blew and the newspaper on her hand was blown away. "Ah-". Unlucky enough, it was blown into the commotion and slapped right on the poor guy's face who was lying on the ground. "Ano... Sumimasen!" Amber rushed over to apologise. She didn't really need to get the paper back but she felt sorry for the guy for all his mishaps and had to come apologise. "...dai...joubu desu ka...?" Amber asked the guy on the ground who seemed to be shriveling up in depression. 'This poor soul...' Amber thought as she bent down to retrieve her papers.
  4. Amber just got out of the convenience store when she bumped into someone. A girl. "A-a-ah! Sumimasen!" the girl said, while awkwardly bowing. "A-a-ah! Kochirakoso sumimasen!" Amber bowed too hoping she didn't use her Japanese wrongly. The girl didn't seem Japanese though but she spoke the language so she should be one. Amber nodded her head in apology before turning to leave. Strangely, she sensed affinity between herself and the girl. Perhaps because both of them chose to visit this place at the same place at the same time and happened to bump into each other. Amber continued to read her paper as she turned away.
  5. 9 fish. All of them are without tails. :V EDITS: OH WAIT. NONE 0. He caught all the fish last time. :V
  6. The coins! Three coins make one triangle. Then stack another three coins on top of it. :V
  7. Oooh!! I've asked a similar one before! XD So I somehow know the answer xD I'll answer the one below then. 15? And uh... Stack them on top of each other! Like this! O OO
  8. Looking around, Amber realizes that some basement side shops have opened and she went closer to take a closer look. They were selling some handphone accessories and also some small souvenirs for the travellers to buy. Most of them are One Piece merchandise and some Meitantei Conan merchandise. Amber spotted a Chopper an sky tree strap and a Conan strap holding something like a bun. They looked cute, so Amber bought both of them. She hung one on her phone and one on her bag before leaving the store. Finally, there seemed to be more people wandering around, though most if them are either foreigners or cleaners and workers. Harajuku's streets will not start up any time soon, so Amber thought perhaps she could do some net surfing for a while. She chose a nice bench beside an ICECREAM shop and pulled out her phone and connected to the Internet. It was lucky she had rented a mobile wifi device before hand. It had saved her the trouble of trying to search through the complex train maps to get to where she was. "Detective...conan...world....forum..." Amber muttered as she typed into the browser. On enter, she was brought to the all familiar site which she had always been. Logging in, she was flooded with quite a lot of notifications. "What's happening?" She wondered as she tapped on the tab on the top right corner. "...statuses huh?" She clicked on one of them and it brought her to a profile page. "Let's see... " Amber read one of them. 'Guess what!? I'm in Shibuya now! I'm actually in an Internet cafe surfing the net! There's also rumours going around about some thief imitating Kaitou Kid too! Isn't this exciting!?' "Shibuya huh... Wait... Isn't that where I am now?!" Amber exclaimed as she frantically looked around. "Nooooooooooooo! I can't let them know I'm here! It'll be so embarassing.,, what should I do!?" Amber fumbled around her jacket and pulled the hood over her head. "Hope that does it..." She mumbled as she tiptoed away from the bench. "Speaking of which... The kaitou kid incident interest me... Probably going to get the papers..." Amber nodded as she searched for any 7-11 or Lawson around her vicinity.
  9. Awwww I was thinking of using a guy chara :V I'll be posting the rest later. :V ===================================== Amber strolled through the rather empty streets of Shibuya in the early mornings before the shops opened. Although she comes to Shibuya pretty often, she had never seen it this empty before. It could be that she came a little too early or it could be because it was a school day. She walked past Shibuya 109 women and remembered how disastrously chaotic it was when she came here for the end of year clearance sale, now it's just a few souls strolling around. Amber had woken up too early today and she thought of coming to Shibuya for a walk before heading to Harajuku for her goods shopping. The stuff at Shibuya are one of the "awesomest" for girls like her but the spare cash cannot even afford her even one dress from the first level. Amber sighs as she continued to stroll down the streets of Shibuya, hoping the shops would open before she reaches Harajuku.

  11. (Technically, it was me. She was just continuing my portion. :x I wrote it in a very ambiguous way so well... you can assume it's not Bain who issued the orders. In any case, I think Adohalv and Vitaly may or may not be dead depending on how you interpret it... Reader's discretion then. :3)
  12. (Stories don't match! And ending is too forced (not to say sudden) Bah... well... I'll make it match. Well lemme post one more final post before I conclude round over... 26th's still not over technically! I SHALL DO SOME AWESOME ROUNDING UP!) -------------------- Amber landed swiftly and gave the guy a punch he will never forget right on his nose. He yelled as he gripped his bleeding nose in pain. It was a great angle so Jack managed to land a spinning kick in his back and at the same time as he was crouching forward, Yssa managed a kick right in his butt. Vitaly seemed to be in so much pain he can't even scream. Amber then took the opportunity to land a few other kicks and punches. Jack and Yssa soon follow suit and it turned into a huge gang-up bashing. However, none of the trio, who were so immensely concentrated with the defenseless target right in front of their eyes, had realized the appearance of two brightly dressed gangsters. The gangsters then immediately launched an array of bullets coming at a rate of 1090 rounds per minute from a long conspicuous machine gun. Immediately, Amber jumped out of target direction and towards shelter but was still inevitably hit by the bullets. So were Yssa and Jack and they had been shot and lay hurt on the ground. Miraculously, due to the superb skill of the two shooters, Vitaly survived without a scratch. Vitaly looked at the gangsters in relieve. "Okay, they're taken care... We need to get the hell outta here. Ado'll waiting outside." he said as he picked up his phone. Vitaly informed the gangsters to rig the building before going into the car. They placed several C4s inside the room before they ran away. Vitaly pulled the clacker after some distance between the rigged building and him. He could hear a deafening explosion from afar. This brought a grin to Adohalv's face, followed by laughter of his crew. A smile surfaced on a figure somewhere close to the explosion. "Thanks. Now kill him. I don't care any more...He's a fake anyway..." "Understood." was the reply and the phone was cut. The figure then proceeded to call another person. "Hello?" the person said into the phone. "I've done as you instructed. He's probably dead by now... What a sad way to die..." "This is what he deserves for deceiving and betraying me." came the reply. "He's just eyeing on the diamonds all along." "Glad you noticed the traitor, or I would have been dead by now." the figure grinned. Two more figures appeared beside the first figure. "So much for the fake bb pellets..." the figure held up a rubber bullet and inspected it. "This is so fake... I can't believe he actually fell for it..." "This is so I can kill all of them in one fell swoop... You're the only one I can rely on in the end..." "Of course... So... " "...when are you taking me out again? Master~?" Amber grinned as Jack and Yssa grabbed her from behind. ------------------- (ROAR. Allow me to torture someone since this is my final post. :3 And also do some magic :X) (DU DU DU! I didn't really tie up many loose ends but I suppose this does it as well doesn't it?! XD)
  13. Within seconds of Yssa picking up her phone sounding anxious, something alarming happened. A sudden sound of a gunshot rang through the room. Immediately, the people in the room turned towards the root of the sound. "Well, here are the only witnesses left. Pleased to meet you. Or rather, pleased to see you again, you two. How much you've grown after we've disposed of you!" You two...? Does he mean me? "W-who-who are you?" Yssa asked the figure at the door in which he replied, "... I'm your father." Wait... whut? Then who's the one who died? "My father's dead, and as far as I know, dead people can't resurrect." she retorted. "True, they can't. But that man wasn't your father anyway.", the man said. This is getting confusing... But this voice is familiar... where have I...? With that, the man bowed down, and introduced himself as Vitaly Ovechkin, a scientist and weapon supplier. He then raised his gun and pointed it at Amber. What the...?! Sh**... I can't move my legs properly. What a bad timing this is!? The man fired the shot and Amber dodged in panic by ducking down, the bullet hit the glass behind instead. "Ah!" A gush of water spluttered out of the broken tube and soaked Amber. The girl, who was originally suspended in water now unable to keep her support, sank to the bottom of the tube as the water decreased. Amber's eyebrow furrowed as she turned to face the shooter. "I'm sorry. I slipped up." the man said cheekily. "I'm actually quite bad at shooting. I wonder why I got into this business in the first place~" He raised the gun again with a grin and pointed towards the little girl. "In case I accidentally hit her later... I think I'll kill her first then..." What!? What are you talking about, you bas****. Don't you dare. Amber suddenly felt a surge of anger which shocked her. She had never felt 'angry' before... or at least she had shut any undesirable emotion such as anger aside. Indeed, she felt an attachment to the girl in the tube, and may actually have a desire to protect her, but there was also this suppressed feeling which seemed unnatural. Pity? Sympathy? ........... Empathy? That can't be it... can it? Regardless, Amber's not going to let the guy do it his way. Pain surged up from Amber's right hand. She had unconsciously picked up a large piece of glass shard. Without much hesitation, she swung her arm (despite her shoulder injury) and launched the shard at the man and it knocked one of the guns out of his hand. Her hands is now bleeding due to the cut by the shard but surprisingly it didn't hurt. Yssa used the opportunity to drag the girl out of the broken tube and towards a safer corner. "Oh...?" the man said with a smile. "Not bad... As expected..." He then raised his other arm with another of his guns. "Well, since you're so impatient, I'll probably send you off first then." This feeling...what...? Amber's consciousness slowly drifted. In place of that, she felt her concentration and senses heighten instead. She suddenly felt like her body is telling her what to do. Her eyes scanned the surroundings unconsciously and she picked up an object unconsciously and she knew how to use it. Her body seems to know exactly what she had to do. Within moments, she picked up the sequence of actions she has to take and embarked on it. Before the man can fire his second round, Amber had already dashed in front of him and tried to snatch it from him, which he avoided by pulling it back and retaliating with a kick. Amber swiftly avoided that by jumping into the air and using the guy as base, she pushed herself and did a flip to the back of the man. She quickly pulled a low kick to try to trip him, but the guy countered by doing the same. A punch came flying towards her direction but she dodged by jumping backwards, retreating towards the bars. Amber can never get used to this feeling. A strange but familiar one. She realized she had it all along, and she knew it was not one which a normal person would have. She thought it was something that proved she was an elite and many people hated her because of that. This feeling. This mentality. This sensation. Just like during the International Gymnastic competition. That feeling that emerged in the middle of competition. That feeling of knowing. That desire... To win. Amber grabbed onto the bar right above her and swung herself upwards towards the man. He had readied his weapon and preparing to shoot. Yssa on her right, Jack on her left. Positioning perfect. --------------------- (Alright! Let's go!)
  14. Tokyo Kushu. Can't believe this is getting an anime only after 100+ chapters... This feels like the next "AoT"
  15. *Bathump* Amber's heart beat strongly as her sight fell upon the girl in the tube of liquid. A word was written at the side of the tube and it says "J". "Jack... What does that letter mean?" Amber asked. "Ah that... I'm not so sure, but inferencing from the rest of the research items, it could be a name or an identifier for her." "J...? " Amber thought for a while. "J..J-June..." "Huh? Did you think of something?" Jack asked. "No... I was thinking J sounds bad... So I took the liberty of naming her... Well... It's my birthday month so...." "Ah... You're born in June? I see..." Jack smiled when he commented. "Ah no... My father just decided that it should be in June so... that's when my birthday is..." "Oh yes. I've heard you are an adopted daughter of a tycoon... So you have no clue who are your birth parents then?" "I... I think I forgot..." Amber replied. "I can't remember anything before age of 8... When I wound up in an orphanage. I only remember from when I got adopted..." "Well June is a nice name." Jack nodded. Amber smiled. Amber stared at the girl in the tube. She sensed a resonance with the girl. Both of them are similar to some extent. They are born into the world without their consent, and then abandoned without their consent. They have no parents and they don't know when they are born. However, somehow, Amber felt a little jealous of the girl in the tube. At least she would know of the reason she was brought into this cruel world, if ever. --------
  16. (Let's continue! It's a lot of conversation btw...) ----------------------------------------- "Hmm...?" Amber noticed Yssa reading her phone. "A message from the boss?" "A-Ah... It's another heist. It seems they have found another hint to the diamond... and we're going to retrieve that..." "I see..." Amber muttered softly. Another fake? "Jack!" A young man came running towards the trio. "There's news that the Ruby Drop and the diamond have been found!" "Oh... Just in time isn't it?" Jack replied, looking pleased. "Where is it?" "It's at-" "Jack!" Another man came running in. "We've received news that the Ruby Drop and-" "...and the diamonds have been found?" Jack continued. "Harry was about to relate to us about the news too." "Ah. I see..." the other man replied. Jack nodded. "So... where is it?" "Ah yes! I've received news that it will be appearing at the International Airport tomorrow at 6pm!" Harry answered confidently. "EH!? Wait..." the other guy exclaimed. "Isn't it going to be displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art?!" "... Gordan... What are you talking about? It's at the Internationa-" "Jack!!! Big news!!! We've received news that the-" Another man came running towards them again. "-Ruby drop and the diamond have been found right?" Jack sighed. "Where is it, Michael?" "Eh!? You knew!?" the man called Michael asked in shock. "Well its at the Vault of Merry Candy's Chief Executive Officer Takemachi!!!" Jack sighed. "I see a lot of trouble now..." "What's going on? Why are they all reporting different places?" Amber asked. "Looks like someone is intentionally spreading rumors to confuse us..." Jack replied. "But it didn't look like they were reporting rumors Jack..." Amber continued. "They seemed very sure." Yssa's eye reduced to a slit. "They're trying to mislead the rest of the people who are looking for the Ruby Drop..." she muttered softly. "... meaning... they are planning something huge..." Jack continued for Yssa. "Ahzz... " Amber massaged her injured shoulder as she sighed. "More complications... I hate this..." Jack let out a soft laugh before extending out his hand to her. "Shall we get inside now? Your injuries probably can't stand the cold wind out here..." "Hmmm... Sure." Amber grabbed Jack's hand with her left as she pulled herself up. "But... I want to go see the child... Can I?" "Huh... Seriously?" Jack was surprised. "I don't mind actually... but why?" "Ah... I have no idea as well... I just thought... " Amber looked down feeling slightly sad. "I thought it would probably answer some of my questions which I had been thinking about so..." "I see... Well... I really doubt it would since it can't talk but... " Jack shrugged. "I don't mean it that way..." "I know." Jack smiled back. "I'll bring you over." "Ah but Jack! What about the news of the Ruby Dro-" one of the men tried to ask. "It's fine. I'll head over to the meeting room soon. You guys commence the meeting first." "Yes!" the three men replied in unison and headed off. Jack then looked over at Yssa. "You coming too?" ---------------------------------------------- (Cha-chang~!)
  17. (Gogogo~! 2 left but enough to keep continuing!) ========= At the same time Yssa received her call, Amber's phone also started vibrating. It was Bain. He rarely calls and when he does, it must be something big. She took a deep breath before answering. "Master-sama~! I was waiting for your call~ Well, I was busy with my sweets and ice cream buffet these few days and some stuff happened so I didn't really go down to base~ And you didn't call so I thought you had forgotten your promise to bring me out! I was kinda sad you know..." Amber chuckled. Jack watched in amusement as he supported her from her left so she wouldn't fall. "Have you thought of a place you wanna bring me to?" Amber continued gleefully. "I see I see... I was worried something may have happened to you but I guess I was worried over nothing haha." was the reply. "Well, I would love to bring you someplace nice you know, but the recent incident has caused me much worry and I would like to solve that issue first. I promise you I'll fulfill my promise after this okay?" "EEHHHHH!? Master always does that to Amber... Amber is sad..." Amber replied 'sulkily' to which Jack let out a tiny giggle which he hurriedly suppressed. "... Ah this happens all the time I'm used to it I guess... But you MUST definitely remember your promise to little Amber here okay????" "Alright Alright~ I promise." Bain replies. "By the way... have you... seen Adohalv... recently?" Amber paused for a moment. "...Adohalv...?" "... yes." "..." Amber's expressions seemed to have turned a little serious for a moment. "Hmmm... Adohalv... Adohalv... Hmmm....... I don't really remember names well... but who is that guy? Is he missing or something...? Hehe I know! He must have sneaked off because master is always so strict with his employees!" Jack seemed to have sensed Amber's nervousness and threw a glance at Amber who returned a smile. "...Ah... if you haven't seen him it's fine. It's nothing... It's just he's so busy I don't see him around. Well... that's all for now then. I'm having a meeting now so I'll be hanging up..." "It's a shame... I would love to talk to you more~ Alright! I'll go see you soon! Bye!" The line was cut. "A-hhhaiii..." Amber heaved a long sigh and nearly collapsed but Jack grabbed her. "That was your boss?" Jack asked as he helped her to a bench nearby. Yssa had finished her conversation too so she helped Amber to the bench as well. "Boss called?" Yssa asked. "What did he say?" "Yep... He didn't say much. He just asked if I have seen Adohalv... He seems to be aware of something..." "He asked about Adohalv...?" Yssa commented suspiciously. "So what did you reply?" "I told him I can't really remember names... and I told him I don't know who that guy is..." Amber cringed. "I never thought I had to lie to master..." Jack sat down beside Amber. "You suspect he is the culprit behind this?" "I don't want to suspect him... But he definitely has something to do with this incident... He definitely knows about the Ruby drop incident... It cannot be a coincidence that we were involved in so many of the Ruby drop heists..." Amber said. Jack stared quietly at Amber. "Master Bain is like a father to me... He's always so gentle to me... despite me being so selfish and self indulgent... He spoils me a lot... Even though he's always busy and rarely keeps his promises, his presence is always there... unlike my adoptive father... whom I don't even see in an entire year except on television. I don't even communicate with him through phone... Well... its kind of strange... the gang seems so warm... like a family... and he is like the father... When I am there, I can act like a child and he would react to it... He has a lot of trust in me as well... I kinda like it... So I would agree to many of his requests... But I suppose... because of his trust in me or perhaps my capability and loyalty... that I happen to be asked for all the important cases with regards to the Ruby Drop..." The other two were silent. "Ah... sorry... I talked too much..." Amber apologized as she forced a smile on her face. "Ha. Don't worry about it..." Jack replied with a smirk. "I never knew you're the type to get emotional... but I think I sort of get it." Jack nods with a grin on his face. Is Jack smiling? Amber remembered the first time they met. She thought back about that time at the harbor heist. --- [At the harbor] "Young miss! Jack's party is approaching our side of the entrance!" One of the crew members reported to her. 'Jack huh?' Amber thought. She had always heard of his name but had never had an encounter with him. Jack has always been screwing up many of their efforts in the heists but Amber had never clashed with him. This is probably the first time. 'I'll see what you can do...' Within a few minutes, a group of people came dashing in and Amber's group proceeded to intercept. "That guy over there is Jack..." One of the members reported to her. Amber watched from the back, at a man, who lead the team at the front and dashing through the fight first. "I see..." Amber mumbled to herself as she saw her own members going down, one by one, under his ferocity. "Young miss! They are too strong! We need backup!" yelled one of her crew as they requested for assistance through the radio. The array of bullets Amber's team fired may have brought down many of their side but did nothing to stop the gang from advancing aggressively. Not before long, Jack's team broke through and most of Amber's team went down. 'Not bad...' Amber thought as she and the rest of the remaining members get surrounded by Jack's crew. Just as Jack was about to head to the location of the chest, a shot was fired and Jack was hit from the back near his chest. The shot came from one of his crew. "JACK!" Some of his crew shouted just as he was hit. The guy who fired the shot smiled and pressed a button which lowered the shutters to the entrance. "Don't worry... I'll be the one to grab the diamonds." After that, the guy sprinted away to the chest. "Jack!" the other team members hurried over to Jack who was sprawled over on the ground. Taking this chance, Amber signalled for her team to take back the control and the confusion had Jack's team over powered. Amber only had to 'remove' all their weapons from them and point it at them. "Do-n't!" the guy on the ground (Jack) managed to let the words out of his mouth when Amber was about to shoot one of the guys when he ignored her order to stay still. Apparently, he was worried for Jack and disregarded his own safety. "Well well... it looks like you're about to die... but you're still worried about someone else? How heroic..." Amber said sarcastically. More blood poured into the pool as he struggled to talk. "W-we need- tha- -ches..t.." he coughed as he tried to speak. "...ple-ase... " What's wrong with this guy!? He's dying and he still wants that chest... If he dies then whatever diamonds is of no use! What's he after actually...? "You're dying but you're still worried over a chest? How much of an idiot are yo-" "Ca-n't le-t ... the... p.poli-ce... je-rks... ta-ke..." the dying guy seem to mumble some words. "Police...?" Amber heard the guy mumble. "You mean that dude who betrayed you is with the police?" "We can't let them get the contents of the chest! Those greedy bas**** would just tag the blame on the gangs here and take the rewards themselves!" One of Jack's team mate shouted. "... Is that so..." Amber muttered softly to herself as she eyed the guy on the ground. Even though she felt that he was an idiot, she felt it was kinda cool. "...Ple-ase..." Jack forced the words out of his mouth as he stared at Amber. "Haiii..." Amber sighed as she put down her gun and motioned for her team mates to do so as well. Jack's group looked shocked. "What are you guys doing? i thought you were going to stop that police dude?" Amber asked when the other party just stood rooted due to surprise. "Oh and make sure that guy doesn't die... I'm going to make him be indebted to me you know..." The surprised group started to move as some of them went after the traitor and some tried to stop Jack's bleeding. Amber gave a signal to one of her team member and after a minute, a black car appeared. "Take him to a hospital or something... You pathetic lot..." Amber shrugged as the guys frantically carried him into the car. "I...owe- yo- one..." Jack muttered as the other guys lifted him into the car. Amber stared at him as he got in. He looks quite cute actually... "Definitely." Amber replied before he was driven off. After a few minutes, few gunshots were heard, coming from the chest location. Not long after, Amber heard that the traitor was disposed of and the chest was snatched by Jack's crew. ---- [back at the garden] Back then, Jack still had an air of seriousness. Amber was probably being attracted by his 'complicatedness'. After that incident, Amber started to take notice of him and paid attention to his news. She didn't really know too much about Jack but she had heard that he was guy who took his work very seriously and would often take risks and gambles to accomplish his tasks. So... How did he turn into a grinning heart stealing monster like this? Amber wondered. Maybe... Jack isn't that complicated afterall... and that... isn't bad either. Amber smiled. ================== (Filler arc... Need to think... :3)
  18. Oh the shock. And Amber thought it could not get any worse. She is now staring wide eyed at the images on a screen which Jack had projected. Jack had just explained the contents of the chest and it was such a shocking revelation that she could not believe her ears. She had thought the case contained the ruby drop or perhaps the documentation of the ruby drop since Jack said that it contained the research contents. She had never expected... this... "What... What!?" Amber stared hard at the image wondering what to make out of it. "So you mean...that...that's why this whole thing happened?!" Jack nodded solemnly. On the screen was not a chest, not a diamond, nor pieces of paper that detailed the ruby drop. It was... A tube, a gigantic one, a container filled with liquid... and within the liquid... Amber's eye furrowed. ...Is a child. "What's the meaning of this, Jack?" Amber asked in a shaky voice. "Did you know before hand that you were going to steal an embryo?" "No... We were pretty shocked ourselves when we found it. We had never known that the scientists had also been researching and experimenting the ruby drop on test tube babies... " Jack swallowed hard. "I believe it was it's fifth week or later when we found it since it was relatively larger already. We had a hard time keeping this little thing alive. " "Wha-what did the scientists do to it?" Yssa asked. "What did you find out about it?" "Well..." Jack proceeded to reply. "This may sound insane, but... this child... Was found submerged in a 4.1% concentration of Ruby Drop... Currently, she's submerged in normal water now, but we've been monitoring her growth rate and her brain capabilities is overwhelming. Her brainwaves are exceedingly unusual and brain activity is over the top." "Eh?" Amber was lost. "Does it mean she is incredibly intelligent?" "Hmmm... You can say she has an incredible potential." Jack replied. "Usually, beings with that much brain activity die early because their brains will overwork and the brain cells die off earlier than others. Normal human beings only have a limited amount of brain cells and people generally get less smart and start forgetting because they used up most of their brain cells... However, this girl has an amount seemingly equivalent to about ten average human beings... Our tests also shown that she probably has 8.3 times the processing speed of an average human..." "..." Amber was speechless. "So... What do you think of this...?" Jack asked. "Seriously... I don't know what to think of this... Except that this child would be pitiful... Do you intend to bring it into our world? Jack..." Amber asked. Jack shrugged. "You're right... This child would probably never be allowed into society... I have no idea what to do with her so I just selfishly kept her alive and monitored her growth... Now it kinda seems like I'm the evil scientist here doing all the research..." Then there was this long moment of silence and awkwardness in the room. "Well..." Jack broke the silence by standing up. "If you girls are not too much in pain shall we go for a stroll in my garden? The atmosphere here is unhealthy." Jack offered a hand to Amber which she took hesitantly. Her shoulder and leg still hurts and her wounds still ached but Jack was right. Staying in the room makes her really frustrated. She really needed some space and fresh air. With jack and Yssa's support, Amber and the rest exited the room. ================= ( I'm sorry but craziness doesn't stop here!)
  19. Just when Jack was about to explain what happened, a creak came from the door behind and a girl came in. "Thought I wouldn't burst in? You're stupid to think that." It was Yssa. Amber was pretty shocked. "Ah... It's you. Thought you had fled. So you were still in this room after all." Jack turned to the girl. "Well, you came at the right time though... I was telling the kid here about the past... About the case of the Ruby Drop incident... and the DeathTrap case... which I'm sure you know very well..." "... You are fully aware I'm not a kid..." Amber glared at Jack who laughed off his comment. "And little rat here knows something too?" Amber turned to Yssa, "You know him?" "Well... Sort of..." Yssa nodded. "... Not directly though." "The Interpol intervened with the Ruby Drop Case. That's when my father met him. He would tell me stories about the police officer who never smiled." He was the first Deathtrap Case-related official she'd known, hence the nickname. "My father would always tell me, 'This case is adrenaline-rushing!' or stuff like that. He'd tell me how he shot down a culprit, or how the side of 'justice' won again." she started. She turned away, and continued. "But one day he looked depressed and shocked. I guess that's when some of the police officers started going psycho, albeit in a different way from poor Adohalv." "The higher ups had been consumed by their own greed. So they deployed assassins to eliminate probable threats to their goal: the Interpol agents and police officers themselves. That led to the chain deaths that occurred after Adohalv escaped, leading to the name of the case. The most significant death was...was..." Her voice broke. "Her father." Jack continued for her. Amber glanced over at Yssa, who seem to have a little trouble in controlling her emotions. "The police files say he committed suicide, but we know otherwise. A police assassin murdered him." continued Jack, "That's when the remaining Interpol and police officers went underground, unable to bear the harsh reality of warriors of justice being corrupted by greed. We knew we were next, so we hid." "Th-the-the commissioner committed suicide back at the wooden house. I saw it all before the explosion. His actions were suspicious from the very beginning, preventing officers from investigating the Metro Bank case. It was all because he wanted Ruby Drop for himself." "That was expected from the beginning... Well, we thought that if the police and the interpol wanted it for themselves, then we will steal it before they do." Jack asserted. "Then we will destroy this evil and dangerous thing once and for all." "Heh..." Amber laughed dryly after hearing the speech. "I wonder if I would be able to understand all these complications if I used the Ruby Drop on myself...? People killing each other for some strange reason which I can never understand... For something which can even harm their own lives... Something so complicated. It isn't even fun at all..." "Neko-chan..." "... So... Does that mean I have poked my nose into something which I should not have... and happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time...?" Amber asked solemnly. "Maybe I should have refused to join in the Diamond heist the other day..." "Oh...? What are you talking about...? If you haven't, then you wouldn't have been able to meet the awesome me right?" Jack winked. "And furthermore, the one who informed you about Adohalv was me... If anything, I dragged you into the situation.... Also, you don't realize... but... do you remember the harbor incident where we first met?" "The harbor incident...?" Amber asked. She tried to remember. "... We were ordered to retrieve a chest from one of the ferry at the harbor... And my orders were to stop anyone from getting close to the harbor..." "Yep. Remember we had a fight back then?" Jack looked at Amber for confirmation. "Yea... " Amber nodded. "The harbor heist?" Yssa asked. "Was that the heist where there was a three way battle? I only heard of it, but I wasn't really there. What happened?" "Well... I was one of those to keep any others away from the heist area, stationed at one of the entrances of the harbor... Jack's team happened to pass through the entrance under me and so I decided to commence combat... But due to our tiny team size and Jack's strength, we were nearly defeated. However... something unexpected happened." "Something unexpected?" "One of Jack's partners went 'crazy' and attacked him." "Went crazy?" Yssa asked. "Like... Ruby Drop crazy?" "I'm not sure, but suddenly the other guy attacked Jack and returned the advantage to us before going ahead..." Amber replied. "And because of that, I managed to turn the situation around and captured Jack." "Eh? You captured Jack?" Yssa asked, surprised. "In the end you still let us pass didn't you... " Jack continued. "Well... I..." Amber became quiet. "Anyway, that guy was a planted spy from the police force... If you hadn't let us pass the other time, they would have had their hands on the chest already..." Jack continued. "Since that chest contains a part of the Ruby Drop contents and research contents, whether you like it or not, you're already involved when you participated in that heist." "So what happened to the chest that time...?" Yssa asked. "We weren't able to retrieve that I remember..." "We took it of course... " Jack replied. "We will never let it land on the hands of the police or the interpol..." Amber laughed softly. "... You know... Somehow I sensed something unique in both of you... and that's probably the reason I was somewhat... interested... I guess..." Amber sighed. "Haha... That's probably why in the end, despite my orders, I still let you go on ahead..." "...and that saved us a lot of trouble..." Jack commented as Amber returned with a smile. "Do you know the contents of the chest yet by the way?" "No." Yssa replied. "What's inside?" Jack paused a moment before answering, "... Well..." "..." --------------------------------------- (...to be continued... Kinda tired now >__<)
  20. (Sounds like fun! XD Ah btw you can continue with my story if you like :V )
  21. (Hmmm... let's start the convergence~ ) ----------- "Humph..." Jack smirked as he ignored Amber's questions. "Well, let's not rush things... You know... We could always get to know each other bette-" "Stop screwing around!" Amber yelled at Jack while pulling herself up from the bed. "... Well... Though... that was my original intention..." Amber's voice trailed off. She realized she isn't her original self when she said that. What am I thinking!? This is a great chance... Jack-sama is right infront of you! You should take this chance and... No! This isn't the time for this... You must wai- BUT if I wait this chance will not co- "URGH!!!!!!!!!" Amber scruffled her hair as she yelled. Jack jumped back in reflex out of shock. Amber had always hated to deal with complicated stuff so she's always doing whatever she felt like doing. It's totally not like her to over think things. She joined the acrobatics club only because she just felt like jumping high and she liked elevation. She happened to know about Bain's crew because of a particular incident and she only joined because she felt it was fun. She rarely participates in the heists and was still treated as one of the important figures in the crew because the boss likes her. Even so, she always gives the crew trouble by taking up a lot of the boss' time and causing disturbances whenever she feels like it. She comes to base as and when she likes, eats whatever she likes, and goes wherever she likes. Her father is rich, so she spends on whatever she pleases and learns whatever she feels like learning. However, she gets curious easily and will do whatever it takes to find out about it. It seems like her curiosity has led her into yet another troublesome situation this time around. Amber heaved a long sigh. "Jack..." she said softly as the guy plopped down right beside her. "... Tell me about what happened after the explosion... and also... about yourself..." Well it works too... I get to know more about Jack-sama and it fulfills my other objective of knowing what he has to do with the incident... Two birds with one stone... "Finally calmed down?" Jack asked as he tilted his head towards Amber. "Well, about the explosion..." Jack paused for a moment to recollect his thoughts. "... we found two other girls, rescued one of them, where the other one saved herself... " "You rescued one of them? Where is she now?" Amber asked. "We brought her back earlier and helped to dealt with her injuries..." Jack told Amber. "At least she wasn't as beat up as you... " "I see... So she's here..." Amber mumbled. "That's true until a while ago though..." Jack continued. "A while ago?" "Well... " Jack shrugged. "She escaped- I mean... she left without any notification or trace... So you can say she's not here now." "I see... Well, she lives up to her name... At least I'm sure she's fine." Amber smiled. "Now... tell me about yourself..." Amber pulled her legs up and hugged them close to her body as she leaned her head on her knees. "Heh~ You really look like a child when you do that." Jack remarked. "Are you really 18?" "I'll tell you about myself after you tell me about yourself..." Amber smirked. "So... who are you.. really?" Jack chuckled in response. "Sure. I'm Jack Riley as you know it and I was formerly from the police forces dealing with the Ruby Drop incident... Well, that was before some incident happened and I was dropped..." "... What? You're a police...?" Seriously? Police? Well... I suppose it's not surprising he got dropped... "... hmmm? What's wrong?" "... Nothing... continue..." "Well..." Jack continued. "It's more like I dropped out of the team and set up this gang with many of my colleagues. Most of them are former police as well..." "... What was the reason you left the police and joined the underground instead? People won't usually do such a crazy thing... not to say... so many others accompanied you too... There must be a huge reason." "Crazy huh? You're absolutely right. We were all crazy..." Jack's expression suddenly became serious. "The entire police force especially." "Police... force? What happened?" Amber probed. "We were the special forces deployed to investigate the Ruby Drop case along side the Interpol action forces agents. However, something happened to them in the midst of the mission and most of them are killed." Jack was looking down the entire time when he was recounting. "I felt that there was something strange with the reports. The escaped subject may be crazy and intelligent, but it was still difficult to take down so many of the interpol agents by himself... not to say he even managed to murder them and get away with it... So I went to investigate..." Jack paused. Color seemed to have faded from his face. Amber could see that it was not something good. "... The police forces has planted a specialist within us and the Interpol to report on activities and... a special group of assassins were deployed... Their mission is... to retrieve the Ruby drop discretely, working independently from the interpol and the police. Using whatever methods to accomplish their goal is not something surprising, even for the police force, as long as they represent the side of justice... You can say that they believe the ends justify the means..." "That is just... Huh...? Wait..." Amber interrupted. "Are you trying to say... the police forces planted a spy within their own forces... hired assassins and killed their own people...?" "Something like that..." "Wait... that doesn't make sense... Why do they deploy you in the first place then? Wouldn't it be easier for them if they just hire the assassins?" "... I didn't understand that too... So I was pretty confused. I had always known of the dark side of the police forces and using of assassins to accomplish their goals is not something surprising... but... to spend so much effort and purposely doing something which may hinder the progress... Is kinda strange..." Amber nodded. "Well, so I went to investigate further and I found that... this was because there was actually more than one group of people at work..." Jack finally looked up. "Underneath the scenes, there are at least 2 groups of people within the police force who are manipulating different groups of people discretely to get their hands on the Ruby Drop. Whether it was for personal gain or something else is unknown, but they are definitely not working together. Rather, they are probably competing or fighting each other." Jack continued. "The reason why the Interpol agents were wiped out was due to this conflict... and I found out that we were going to be next. Knowing this, I pulled the team out of the investigations, and retained information from the police, even though I knew this would allow the subject to escape... I had to know what is actually going on before I will participate in this case... So I continued my investigations separately with my colleagues and then... I managed to find out what really happened..." Amber swallowed hard. Jack-sama actually looked pretty cool when he's serious. ======================= (Long story cut into two parts... Shall continue another time.)
  22. This manga is awesome. :V Btooom! (something like Battle Royale... Just... a lot more mild.)
  23. (AWESOME Now the ruby's gone! Wait... how about the diamond? ) ----------------------------- Consciousness slowly returned to Amber after who knows how long. The first few moments of consciousness seemed like the merger of dreams and reality. There was no telling them apart. A long dream? Am I dead? "... ... ..." "... ARGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" A trigger suddenly tripped somewhere within Amber as she came to her senses. She jumped out of her unconscious position like a reflex and slammed down hard on the floor. OWwwww.... That hurt! Amber felt a piercing pain surge through her shoulder when she landed. "OH GOSH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? I HAVE JUST PLASTERED YOU UP...!!!" Amber heard a woman scream from a distance. She felt a few hands pull her up and lifted her to something soft... possibly a bed. Amber opened her eyes and saw two women, probably around their 20's as they start to fiddle around her body. '...Oh gosh... the wound opened again... What a mess... Now I need to rebandage you up...' '...Now stop movin... and stop doing reckless stuff from now... If...' '... Why did ... bring back... such... strange .. girl...' Amber heard a lot of talk coming from the two women, and they were probably talking to her, but Amber did not manage to catch what they were trying to tell her at all. She was too occupied with the shock and pain that arose from the incident. So much so she was unable to process her thoughts easily any more, and her entire mind's a mess. A door creaked. "Ah." Amber's attention jolted. She turned towards the door. "Uhhh Uhhh... " A person came in through the door. "I heard you're finally awake and the first thing you did was to dive straight into the concrete floor... How much of an idiot are you?" "...Uhhh...AH!" Amber sat straight up. "Yo-you! What are you doing here!?" Amber asked while holding back her pain. "... Hmmm... That's a weird question isn't it? I was the one who saved you and brought you here you know..." the person replied. "Eh..." Amber thought back at what happened. I went to Adohalv's hideout.. Then I spotted the twins... And suddenly we were being attacked by Adohalv... Then a huge explosion happened.. and... "Ah!" Amber remembered. "You remembered huh?" the person smirked. "... What is the meaning of this?" Amber asked as the person walked quietly over to her. "... Adohalv... the police... the attack... the explosion... and... you..." Amber hesitated for a second. "...Jack." ================== (Gogogogo~)
