After Hamagiri had brought Joseph back home, the young man had slept soundly for a whole day. No one had come to see him, afterall no one knew he was even here except for the Agents. The only thing that had decided to trouble his peaceful slumber was the sun.
" * Hiss* Fucking Sun"
Joseph woke up and put a hand in front of his face to protect his eyes from the light. He then quickly exited the room, without even taking a look at his current outfit. He was still wearing the feathered cloak. He went to the bathroom, cleaned his face, brushed his teeth and then finally looked down to see his current state of dress.
" Ugh....I hope I have some comfortable pajamas." Said Joseph as he went to his room and rummaged through his clothes to find a decent pajamas. When he found one, a blue pajamas that would keep him warm, he put it on and went to the living room.
" System, are you finally ready to answer my questions ? With what happened yesterday, I really want to hear some good news." Asked Joseph, but no response from the system, so Joseph decided to mess with the device a bit.
" System, you okay ?"
Unfortunately the system wouldn't answer. Joseph quickly found out by saying ' Status' that he could still use the system, yet the voice remained silent. Shrugging it off, Joseph turned on the tv and regretted it immediately.
" It is with great shock that the people of Japan woke up yesterday. The CEO of Kobuchi Electronics, Hideo Kobuchi, and the heiress of the Suhara clan, Yukako Suhara, were both executed by a bullet through the head while a crowd of members from the Oibara clan were screaming for the CEO to get down from his building. From the recent report of the police, it seems that the Oibara clan has no link to the death of the two victims. The Boss of the Oibara Clan, Rikudo Oibara, himself seemed completely shocked when two police officers came to his house and announced the tragic news to him. The attention of all of Tokyo has now gone to this event, and one question remains.....Who could've ordered the death of the two victims, and how did the assassin or assassins killed those two without leaving a single trace ?"
Joseph turned off the tv and sighed deeply.
" Those agents.....How can they be so powerful ?"
" Why do you want to know, Joseph Crane ?" Answered a voice from behind Joseph. The young man jumped from the couch and turned around, only to see....
" Agent purple ?!" Exclaimed Joseph. Indeed this person was Agent Purple, the agent who had been with Hamagiri the day the fight with Mako occured.
" Yes I am. Surprised to see me ?" Asked Purple.
" Well uh, yeah. You have to thank Hamagiri on my behalf though, he really helped me out, if that was really him actually...Maybe I just dreamt it." Said Joseph, scratching the back of neck while chuckling.
" Thank him on your behalf....Tell me Joseph..."
Having said those words, Purple appeared behind Joseph and put his machete against the young man's throat.
" Do you think you can ask something like that ? What makes you think you are powerful enough to ask something from me, Agent Purple ?" Asked the Agent.
" W-Well, you were with Hamagiri so I thought you were a cool guy....Or girl." Answered Joseph. Since Purple had asked his question without an ounce of arrogance, Joseph had decided to give him a real answer.
" A cool guy or girl, huh ?" Said Purple before he/she chuckled and removed his/her helmet. Joseph's eyes widened as he saw the feminine face of Purple. Snow white skin, thin lips, perfect nose, round pink eyes, long eyelashes and an overall extremely charming face structure. Now Joseph had some real reservations.
" I am a man, even if I don't really look like one. Well actually Boy would be a better word to describe me, since I have stopped aging before I became an adult." Admitted Purple, a little smile on his face.
' Well, he does really sound and look like a cool guy.' Thought Joseph.
" I would like to act like someone with a dark past, someone dangerous like all my coworkers, a monster worthy of your worst nightmares, but I am none of that.....Compared to my colleagues I am indeed a cool guy. I don't have any mental illness, any weird fetish and I don't really like to hurt innocent people. However be aware that since I am an Agent, I can show a completely different side. Though I guess I will be at the level of Shark or Bison, and even them are quite soft." Said Purple.
Joseph seemed to detect a hint of sadness in Purple's eyes, bit he said nothing and only listened. Pruple seemed to be the more 'Human' Agent he had encountered yet.
" Well It ain't bad to be a human compared to the others."
" A human ? Joseph you think I am a Human ? Maybe in heart.....But in term of ability I have long since gone past the limit of Humanity. Don't make the mistake of underestimating the Agents Joseph, they have yet to show their real powers to you. The only reason they don't do it is that it's quite bothersome to have to clean up afterward. Hypnotize people, repair stuff and all that... I was on fixing duty and I can tell you it's a hassle." Said Purple, his hand in front of his mouth as he laughed.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
" Well it's cool and all, but why are you here ?" Asked Joseph
" My Boss has received Yellow's report and decided to go meet up with the Beast Clan."
" WHAT ?!" Yelled Joseph, losing his calm instantly.
" An important even is approaching, and the clans need to speak with each other regarding this event. Of course the Boss couldn't leave with all the clan members, so a few stayed behind, even though Japan isn't our territory. I have stayed behind because I share Hamagiri's feeling. I think that a certain something happened to you and thus granted you this ability. Because of this, I want to teach you how to defend yourself. You are too important to die."
" Teach me how to fight ? What do you mean ?"
" I can't tell you how we became this powerful, I can't tell you the secrets of the world or the universe, even if they would help you become a true monster in terms of power, atleast compared to a human. For now I don't have the authorization to give you this type of information, but I can alteast teach something helpful." Said Purple as he pointed at a wall. Joseph looked at it and was surprised to see Purple in front of it, punching it. The punch itself was nothing special, but it became insanely fast just before it hit the wall, and it then left a huge dent on the wall.
" How ?!"
Purple merely smiled and put a hand against his chest.
" Joseph, you might now of different fictional energies, like Magic or Chakra. Energies that can allow someone to shoot fireball or create copies of themselves. Well those eneegies do exist. Again I am sorry, but I can't really teach you anything about them, though I can give you a few pointers to atleast unlock the most basic energy...The Spiritual Energy or Genkei, a mix or energy and spiritual in japanese. It is different from most since this energy depends on each user, however it is a very weak energy. Usually people only use it as a last resort, for a shield or a last attack. But since you're a beginner you can definitely use it to fight. To unlock it, you only need to place yourself in a situation of life and death and call onto your spirit. It sounds difficult but it really isn't." Said Purple and Joseph felt the need to sweatdrop.
' Place yourself in a situation of life and death, and he says it ain't hard. Haha, that guy has some screw loose.'
Though Joseph took Purple's words lightly, the man himself was quite serious. He grabbed his machete and threw it at Joseph, stabbing him in the throat.
" Grr, what ?"
Joseph had no time to react, he was already loosing a lot of blood and was soon going to die. Yet Purple merely smiled and grabbed Joseph before he could fall.
" I will maintain you alive, just call onto your spirit !"
' You...YOU DAMN KID !!!' Yelled Joseph in his heart. His anger quickly left and was replaced with awe when he realized where he was.
' Is that a greek temple ?!'
It was indeed a greek temple, or atleast what was left of it. Joseph now stood in front of the ruins of an ancient greek temple. Pillars laid on the ground amongst the rubbles, but the temple seemed to hold quite well. Joseph was quite curious so he entered the temple, or tried to. It actually didn't have an entrance anymore and the wall had also disappeared. There was only remains of old statues and odd enough, a round table.
' Great, but what am I supposed to do here ? Call onto my spirit ? What does that even mean ? Do I have to scream 'Spirit !' like a dumbass ?' Thought Joseph, but he quickly settled down when he heard a cough. He turned towards the table and sure enough, a shadowy figure was sitting therew though it wasn't alone. Two other figures were there. One that sit at the opposite from the first and one that laid on the table, sleeping.
" Um, hello ? Is one of you my spirit ?" Asked Joseph, a bit unsure.
" I am your spirit, Joseph." Said the first figure.
" Oh cool then, I needed to find you to unlock my Spiritual Power. Heard it's not powerful but it's kinda all I have." Said Joseph, but he was surprised when the sleeping figure chuckled.
" Hehe, Spiritual Power, huh ? It ain't powerful that's for sure. But it's the basic. You'll need it to unlock something else....Something truly wondrous." Said the figure. Joseph wanted to ask what it meant by that, but the second figure lifted it's arm.
" I am this wondrous thing. However you won't get to see me for now. And you'll wait for a long time before seeing me." Said the figure, who seemed to be the only female of the group. The first figure shook it's head and got up, the shadow covering it disappearing. It revealed an older Joseph, and the current one was quite satisfied by what he saw. Older Joseph had a bit of a beard, an handsome face that looked like it went through some really rought times, and most importantly it had a huge scar on it's throat.
' Does that mean that what Purple did to me will leave a scar ? I don't really mind though.'
" Joseph I am your spirit, and this body of mine is what you'll look like....If you don't unlock this wondrous thing. This is body of a Joseph who wasted his potential." Said Old Joseph.
" Well the woman there said I won't see her before a long time, so what can I do ?"
" Nothing, you'll have to wait until someone tells you how to unlock her. For the time being, you'll first unlock me. After this you'll be strong enough to not die instantly if you encounter an Agent, or alteast a weak agent, I am not sure about the strong ones. Given that you have the system to help you,you should buy a few offensive and defensive abilities and you'll be ready to whoop some asses." Said the Old Joseph jokingly. Joseph smiled and nodded, feeling a bit excited. The Old Joseph lifted his hand and went for a handshake, Joseph responded by lifting his hand two, and they both shook hands.
A bright light appeared and nearly blinded Joseph, but it quickly subsided. Joseph felt as if his whole body had changed, as if he could move mountains now. It was incredible. Though the biggest came from his brain. He felt as if he could understand the world better now, he could thinl faster and better, which was a huge plus to him.
" Since you need to get used to it, I'll activate it for you so you can go back. See you later kiddo." Said the Old Joseph. Joseph was ready to go, but he heard the third figure laugh.
" Oh and don't worry about your system Joseph, I only needed to keep it for a day. It's back now."
"....You...YOU ARE MY BENEFACTOR ?!" Screamed Joseph. He wanted to run towards the figure and ask so many questions, but a red aura suddenly surrounded his body, it was faint and looked like a gas, but it was still there. Joseph felt as if he was pulled somewhere else, but he refused to go.
" WAIT...I have so many questions for you !!!" Yelled Joseph, the figure merely laughed like a madman, a huge smile on it's face as it looked at Joseph.
" We'll see each other soon Boy, if you are unlucky....Trust me ! Hahahaha !"
" Noooo !" Screamed Joseph, but he couldn't do anything, he was pulled back and couldn't resist.
" Oh, back so soon ? It went rather well...."
"........."
Joseph couldn't talk at this moment, he was shellshocked. Purple seemed to have noticed that, but he still tried to wake him up.
" Joseph ? Helloooo, Joseph ? * Sigh* I forgot how shocking it is for some people. I just hope he didn't encounter ' HIM '.....It would be good to be lucky for once. "
