Chapter 11: BeatBox

The police arrive at the crime scene where Alex was asked a few questions while tadayoshi remain hidden but near to keep an eye on Alex

BeatBox: so those were his parents?

Tadayoshi: mhm...

BeatBox: damn... so what's going to happen to her?

Tadayoshi: what do you think I'm doing you dumbass, trying to find out

BeatBox: ok but, you're gonna get caught if you get close to the crime scene ya know? There gonna pin the murder on you

Tadayoshi: well can't let anything bad to her...

Police: alright, we're now going to give you a choice. I know it hard for you to see your parents go... but now you're on your own, so your choice is do you want to live with someone else, if so who? Or we can bring you to an orphanage?

Alex: can't I just live on my own

Police: kid: you still too young... now make your choice

Alex: I...

Tadayoshi goes to step out but felt his arm being pulled from BeatBox

BeatBox: What are you doing?! Are you trying to expose yourself?!

Tadayoshi: I'm not letting her being taken by the orphanage

BeatBox: I get that but you're going to cause chaos if you go out there

Tadayoshi: then what do you want me to do?!

BeatBox: ... put me on!

Tadayoshi: what?

BeatBox: Just do it!

Tadayoshi: ...

Police: well?

Alex: I...

???: she's with me!

Alex felt her shoulder being grabbed, which when she turns around to see a man in a boombox head

Alex: "tadayoshi?"

Police: who are you?

BeatBox: the name's BeatBox! And she's my... cousin! So I'll take care of her

Police: well... if you say so...

BeatBox: Yep! Come on, kid!

BeatBox takes Alex hand as they begin to walk away from the crime scene until they can't see them

Alex: thanks tadayoshi...

BeatBox: Oh no no no! I'm not your friend tadayoshi, my name is Bell aka BeatBox

Alex: Huh?

BeatBox: it's... complicated...

BeatBox grabs his head and takes it off and black ink swirl around his body back to tadayoshi

Alex: what?

Tadayoshi: Jesus, that was weird...

Alex: Umm... tadayoshi, did you know about this?

Tadayoshi: yeah... it's some strange curse...

BeatBox: I'm not a curse! Well... I was cursed into becoming this boombox, but I have no idea how to get my normal body...

Alex: you're a cephalopod like us?

BeatBox: Of course I am! Now I see that now you two are poor

Alex: yeah...

Tadayoshi: I can probably rob a place to get some money

BeatBox: No no no, no need to! How about I help you?

Alex: really?

Tadayoshi: what can you do?

BeatBox: well I can earn us some cash, but I'm going to need your body tadayoshi

Tadayoshi: why? What's your plan?

BeatBox: simple, become a DJ and get us money, and we can survive!

Tadayoshi; no, you're not using my body for your stupid career...

BeatBox: well you got any ideas that don't cause a commotion?!

Tadayoshi: ...

Alex: tadayoshi... please... I still want my parent to have a good funeral

Tadayoshi: ... fine...

BeatBox: Great! Now put me on

Tadayoshi: yeah yeah...

Tadayoshi slides on the boombox which orange ink begins to swirl around tadayoshi body, turning into BeatBox original body

BeatBox: man, it feels weird possessing people?

Alex: uhh, question, is tadayoshi, you know, still in you

BeatBox: well, you know how spirits can like to possess people and can control their body? It's like that, but like putting a new layer on a new body? Pretty confusing

Tadayoshi: can we just get going?

BeatBox: ah yes we will!

Alex: who are you talking to?

BeatBox: tadayoshi, I can still hear him in my head!

Alex: oh... this is weird...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They arrive at the alleyway stores where they begin to look to a music store

Alex: So... how did you... became like a Boombox?

BeatBox: well... I made a deal with someone and.... the deal went out bad...

Alex: oh... do you know who did it to you?

BeatBox: ... I... rather not talk about it...

Alex: understandable, but do you still remember your life

BeatBox: oh definitely, like my master who taught me how to fight!

Tadayoshi: you... can fight?

BeatBox: yeah duh, I was training with a close friend, but I haven't seen him ever since the old man died...

Alex: oh... I'm sorry for your loss

BeatBox: it's alright, I just got to keep on smiling even through bad times!

Tadayoshi: ... weirdo...

They walk into a music store where they begin to find many instruments. BeatBox takes a deep breath and it lets out

BeatBox: music... beautiful

Alex: you like music, huh?

BeatBox: of course! Music is like art and art is like dancing to the beat of the music!

Tadayoshi: ... sound stupid

BeatBox: You wouldn't get it edgy demon!

Alex: wait... none of us has money so why are we hear

BeatBox: oh I'm just looking at the instruments, so I know what to get when I become popular!

Alex: oh...

Alex walks around until he bumped into a stranger

Alex: I-I'm sorry!

???: watch it, lady, you ran into the future DJ

Alex: Future DJ?

???: Yep! My name is Light, and I'm going to being the brightest music in the world!

She looks up and down at the blue inkling to see he is wearing tight tops and shorts and a DJ like googles

Alex: ... ok good luck then?

Light: What do you mean good luck?! I'm going to make it big

Alex: y-yeah which is why I said good luck

BeatBox: hey is everything alright

He walks over to Alex as he comes face to face with a blue inkling

BeatBox: ... why are you wearing a weird outfit?

Light: WHAT DO YOU MEAN LOOK AT YOU!

BeatBox: yeah, but I'm only wearing a boombox and that it, not like some... tight clothes

Light: ... listen here, you shithead! You're looking at the next super idol DJ!

BeatBox: oh you want to be a DJ too? Nice! Well, I wish you good luck, come on Alex!

Alex: Y-yeah...

Alex begins walking off with BeatBox to leave the store but BeatBox felt something grabbing his shoulder

Light: hey... what do you mean to?

BeatBox: oh I'm going to be a DJ as well! ^_^

Light: ... no...

BeatBox: what?

Light: I challenge you to a music duel

BeatBox: ...Nah, I'm good

Light: What?

BeatBox: look if you're jealous because I want to be an idol doesn't mean you have to challenge me, later

They begin walking off as they left light stand in public awkward

Alex: What's with that guy problem

BeatBox: No idea, but I can get us to stay somewhere while I go make us some money

Alex: are you sure they will let us stay

BeatBox: don't worry, I'll... Persuade them

Light tightens his fist and charges at them, going for a punch

Light: Fine I'll just fight you-

Sudden BeatBox jump and instincts swing his fist at light face until doing a roundhouse across his face, sending him flying back to a building

BeatBox: ...oops

Alex: Woah

BeatBox and Alex runs off before they could get in trouble as light looks up at them weakling

Light: one day... I will... beat you

Soon light grew a motive to surpass BeatBox, even though BeatBox never cared much about him. As the two were running, they don't notice strangers watching them

???; I found them, sir...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They walk into an old hotel as BeatBox goes up to the counter to gets room, while Alex sits down on a chair in the lobby

BeatBox: alright, we got a room!

Alex: wait we did

BeatBox: Yep

He lets go of the beaten counterman and hides his hand so Alex doesn't see. They walk into a room where Alex looks around the room

BeatBox: alright I'll be off

Alex: where are you going?

BeatBox: to make money of course! I'll be back by noon, for now, get some rests ok!

Alex: ok...

BeatBox leaves out the room and Alex jumps on the bed and stares at the roof

Alex: mom... dad... I'm sorry I wasn't there...

She sits up and turns on the TV which she finds the new about the crime scene, but she switches channel since she doesn't want to hear about the murder

News lady: another news is that we now have a word about the darklings are on the move once again!

Alex: what!

News lady: we are now getting a location on where they- what.... are you serious... omg... We are announcing everyone to evaluate the twin immediately! The darklings are heading toward this town!

Alex's eye grew wide in shock, knowing the darklings are coming to the town she grew up in

Alex: I... I need to tell tad-

Suddenly she hears knocking on the door which she goes to answer but as she looks through the peephole, she sees a group of men standing at the door with their weapons at the door

Alex: oh shi-

She quickly jumps from the side and shots was fired through the door. The door was burst open as smoke can be thrown into the room, filling the room with smoke.

Alex: "who are they?"

She looks around the room to find a weapon but finds nothing until she hides as the men walk around the room

Men: you found her?

Men 2: no, but-

Suddenly Alex grabs one of the men and chokes him out until takes a knife from his leg and stabbing him, killing him. She lets go of the body and look down at it

A few months ago:

Alex: k-kill your enemies?

Tadayoshi: yeah... once someone attacks you, they are your enemy... beat them to death or kill your enemy. Show no mercy to your enemy

Alex: h-how come we can't show any mercy

Tadayoshi: please beg for mercy is them lying to you because they are too afraid of death, if they can't man up over death, then why do they bother to start a fight that could get themselves killed

Alex: I-I see... I'll try...

Tadayoshi: no... you won't try, you will

Present:

Alex: no mercy...

She quickly hides from the men the approaches her but goes for each stealth attack, but the smoke begins to clear, making her visible to see

Men 3: There she is!

She tries to fight back the men but starts to be overwhelmed by them

Alex: "my phone! I need to get tadayoshi!"

She tries to reach her phone that was left on her bed, but they manage to tackle her to the ground, where she was pinned down

Alex: Let me go!

???: sorry missy, but I can't allow that

She looks up at a familiar man that looks down at her with a smirk

Alex: You!

Drake: it's been a while beautiful

He kneels and lifts her chin with his finger

Drake: you know, you would look sexy if you look like you were in bondage but unfortunately for me, I can't fuck you yet... he wants to see you

Alex: He?

Drake: put her asleep

Suddenly Alex's mouth was covered by a towel which she slowly goes unconscious. While drake picks up his phone and makes a call

Drake: I got her!

???: good... bring her back as soon as you can

Drake: you better let me fuck her after

???: yeah yeah, now hurry up!

He hangs up the phone as the men carry Alex out of the apartment. He picks up Alex phones on the bed and breaks it and setting a new phone onto the bed

Drake: I hope the boss knows what he is doing...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tadayoshi removes the helmet off of his head as he was running back to the apartment

BeatBox: right when I was about to show my music talent...

Tadayoshi: save that for later shithead! We need to leave now, yet she still hasn't answered the phone call

BeatBox: yeah yeah I get that!

He quickly runs into the apartment room, only to find the door broken open and a messy room

Tadayoshi: Alex!

He runs into the room and begins looking around, to find no sign of her

BeatBox: what the hell... kidnapped?

Tadayoshi: no shit!

He suddenly hears a phone ringing on the bed, which he picks up and answers it

???: hello tadayoshi...

Tadayoshi: that voice... you...

???: miss me demon scum?

Tadayoshi: where is she... Jason...

Jason: oh nowhere... just with me

The phone becomes a FaceTime, and he shows Alex tied to the chair in a room with pipes

Tadayoshi: Alex!

Alex: I'm... sorry tadayoshi... I couldn't fight them all back...

Tadayoshi: it's fine, I'll come to get you.

Jason: *tsk* *tsk* I doubt you'll be able to... I need to take her back because I wouldn't survive without my stress reliever...

Tadayoshi: lay a hand on her and I'll rip your stupid handsome face of your

Jason: ehehehe, try if you can! I'm at a factory, planning to blow up the place. You know, for a deal I made... and to become the god that I am! You got a few hours before it's bye-bye to my punching bag, demon scum!

Jason hangs up the phone as tadayoshi squeezes it, breaking it in a bit anger

BeatBox: calm down tadayoshi... put your anger in him when we go after him

Tadayoshi: I know that shithead

BeatBox: well better get going because we don't have long before the darklings arrive...

Tadayoshi: yeah...

He puts BeatBox behind his back with his pen, and he jumps out the apartment room window and starts jumping from building to building, making their way to the factory

Tadayoshi: "hang in their kid... I'm coming..."
