Torn Down (invite)

[Deleted]

“Nurse… where is the boy in room 213?”

“He should be in his bed.”

“… he’s not.”

A panicked alarm went out throughout the hospital as the young severely injured patient had seemingly disappeared. To think that he had been able to simply walk away was unreal! The surgeons had spent the past few days operating to repair the abdominal muscles that had the torn apart, fixing the left shoulder socket for what appeared to be the fifth time, deep cuts on his face, three broken ribs on the right side, cracked skull, and lots of soft tissue damage. Most people would have guessed that he was in some horrific car accident if his medical file didn’t mention his school was Public High School 259, which gave away that the injuries were likely to be from some fight. Still the staff all had a duty to treat the patients… if they could find him.

So where was Kiyoshi? Well he had made his way outside and down the street a bit to a bench, his injured body would only carry him so far. Struggling to breath from the searing pain that ripped through him with every motion, Kiyoshi slumped down onto the bench as a slight rain began to fall. The pair of scrub pants he’d pilfered along with the gown and slippers were not made for inclement weather, never mind the mass of bandages that surrounded much of his body. His arm was wrapped in gauze, stuffed a large bulky brace, and then placed in a sling making it immobile, his entire torso from the waist up was covered in what could have been a cart full of wrappings, and his head was wrapped as well with addition large gauze pads over the areas that had been cut. He was a god damn mummy with so many wrappings.

Every breath was a battle from the injured gut and ribs, they had to be kept short and shallow to keep the pain from rising too high. Normally a patient in such shape would be loaded on painkillers but as someone once addicted to them, Kiyoshi was forcing himself to go without making the experience that much worse. Doubled over in pain his hand clenched tightly onto the gown as his other hand held his head, the only audible noise being that of pain filled gasps for air as the rain started to soak in.

So why subject yourself to such agony? The reason was simple. Despite what someone might think about toughness or forced suffering, it was much simpler than that… he needed some fresh air to combat his Claustrophobia.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon was on his way with a... Gift for the boy he had just torn to pieces a few days back. A couple of band aides on his face, the nose and chin, other than that he was alright. Riding his 2005 Harley Road King custom made to look like a Dragon. The head was breathing the fire of the headlights, it's horns the handelbars, it's front arms holding the front wheel inplace, it's wings like make shift door's to the motorcycle, it's back was sadled with a seat, its back legs eld the back wheel, its tail had a flame on it that was the brake light. It's eye's the urn signals, and two lights in the back played of likespark's from the tail fire. Leon saw the boy though on a bench, surprisingly enough. He would pull up next to him on the street.

Parking he would get off and walk over to the boy, reaching into a bag tied to his belt an dpuling out an immortals tear. Reaching out with his hand for the kid to take it, he would say simply.

"This will make all that pain go away, you'll be good as new in seconds. Before you ask, its not addictive, and there is no down side. I have an offer for you, and I want you to stand on eve ground with me when I present it."

Kiyoshi tilted his head up to gaze upon the impressive custom machine that the man who’d been responsible for much of the damage done to him rode in on. He would have nodded in approval if even the smallest actions weren’t causing such pain. Now there was no animosity between the two as they had fought fairly and that was all it was. However the Dragon had come back bearing a gift that was sounded far too good to be anywhere near true. Make him feel fine with no ill effects or addiction? It was only natural to be skeptical but given the track record… there was no reason to doubt his motives now. He took the candy and ate it…

A violent gag came forth from Kiyoshi at the taste of the candy, which caused a severe shock through his system. However as he started to curl in agony… it started to subside, bit by bit. After a few moments he felt fine, although shocked that it had really worked, and stood up from the bench while removing the heavy brace from his left arm. It was a damn miracle! It felt fine and worked, which brought back to mind the second part of the offer. A simple question was what Kiyoshi would have guessed but he could not be sure without finding out. So standing tall with a stern gaze, the young Japanese man awaited whatever his counterpart had to say next.

[Mr. Kaar]

The boy took it and stood, removing the equipment that had been there to help him heal naturally. Leon would wait, wait a few second to let Kiyoshi get his mind prepared.

"I have respect for you. Its rare, but I also know you dont care. You do what you do, no matter what othrs say. Its about you, your pride, your will, its your fight. You would pus yourself to the end and further if it meant you had accomplished what you wanted."

Leon would take a quick glance back at his bike out of habbit, his eyes moving under his shades, before returning his gaze back to Kiyoshi. Leon would reach up and adjust his shades bfore continueing.

"I would like to offer you a means to becoming stronger. Like that candy I just gave you I have many other things that can inhance you and your abilities, with very little to no side effects, and no addiction. I know you wont believe me right away, but I will prove it and show you."

Leon would move back to his bike and get on, motioning for Kiyoshi to jump on the back.

"If thats alright with you."

Listening to the older male’s word, Kiyoshi stood rather stoic though the guy pretty much explained him to a T. The only possible point of disagreement was the point about Kiyoshi not caring about having others respect. Though he didn’t care when they didn’t have respect for him, he did like it when others had respect for him. That fact became more prevalent when the other person was stronger. Given the strength of this man, having that respect was a great honor. Still he made no signals of that feeling.

Quietly Kiyoshi continued to listen to the man’s words with a growing curiosity. The prospect of getting strong was a great incentive and the added thought of little or no side-effects made it even better. Still there was skepticism and a lack of trust. However the memory of a time long ago ate away at that thought. He’d been down in the gutter under painful withdrawals from his drug usage when a man known as the Crimson Fury, Auroth Lin, had picked him up and turned him into one of his protégés. It had probably saved his life at that moment, though the Japanese student had slipped after losing touch with the man… the impact was still made. A slow thoughtful sigh escaped Kiyoshi as he nodded.

“Alright.”

With that, Kiyoshi walked over and got onto the back of motorcycle to see where this road would take him.

[Mr. Kaar]

Leon would allow the kid to get on and pull up the kick stand before cruisin away towards oe of Asiv's secret laboritories. The training one specifically. Where Leon had spent most of his time while he was still in college. Once they arrived a man wearing all white would b standing just outside the building, white hair and red eyes stared at Kiyoshi as Leon beckoned the boy to follow.

"Is he the one you mentioned?"

The man asked Leon once he wasclose enough.

"Yes this is him. Kiyoshi, this is Rycau, like me he was sent to the Correctional Facility and expiramented on by the mad man who ran it... His appearence is one of many side effects of the expiraments."

Leon didn't add that his own white eyes whre also a side ffect of those days. Moving into the building hopefully with Ry, and Kiyoshi in tow he would make for the green room. Getting to the plant thatonly makes fruit once every year he would reach up and grab the orange looking fruit. Yet it was as if there where alight inside of it.

"Kiyoshi, this is what we call Bokiryu Fruit. One of these will inhance your abilities substantially. I want you to take it. You can eat it now, or later if you dont trust me, but once you do it will help you."

((Once injested the fruit will give Kiyoshi 25 exp.))

The ride seemed to fly by before the motorcycle came to a stop in front of some kind of facility. After stepping off the ride, Kiyoshi eyed to building rather wearily as he still had his suspicions about this whole thing. At the door they were met by another man, who had a bizarre look about him that was promptly explained. It brought up several questions about the meaning of all this… was he just being molded as a tool to use against the person that did this to them? It wouldn’t be the first time someone tried to use him.

Still, on the promise of increasing his abilities, Kiyoshi followed the two men through the facility to a room where plants were being grown. Odd to say the least but even more so when he was just handed an odd looking glowing orange. The fruit would enhance him just from being eaten, something that he might have laughed at before trying that candy earlier. These thoughts coursed as Kiyoshi stepped further down the road by slowly biting into the odd fruit while expecting to be met with a similar poor taste. He was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be actually very tasteful, which prompted him to devour it without much more hesitation regardless of the enhancement. Kiyoshi hadn’t eaten in a while… good food shouldn’t be wasted.

What Kiyoshi didn’t expect was the sudden surge from within him. It felt unreal to have this kind of power seemingly pour into him. A rather pleased smile formed on his lips as the Japanese student nodded lightly while looking back to the two men.

“Not bad.”



{OoC: Fruit eaten}

[Mr. Kaar]

"And now the catch."

Leon would say he knew Kiyoshi was waiting for it, and being prompt, and honest Leon would give it to him.

"I will give you gifts like this as I make them. All you have to do, is take the gifts, an use them to become strong. I dont care what you do with the power, just become powerful."

This was truely Leon's aim. The trials that would be coming to the school would be hard. They would need this kind of power to get through it, no matter how the pull through, they will make enemies.
