(Takune's pov)

  He ignores the girl's endless rambles as he goes deeper, fshlight shining in front to see where he is heading.

  Their talk paused when, when going past a corner, he saw blue light. It was coming off a huge crystal that took up the most room in the cave. Bck tendril-like roots seemed to grow inside and all around.

  He got closer and touched a finger; it felt smooth. Then he felt something else, a life.

  'There's something alive in this rock!' As his realization, the crystal also did. A thundering sound boomed into his ears, and the blue light suddenly turned red.

  "Shit! Did you guys hear that?"

  "Woah, Stacy, your nose!" She raises a hand to touch her now bleeding nose by Matt's words.

  Matt and Andy were thrown into the wall by an invisible force, and another sound made his vision go blurry.

  He fell to the ground, holding his ears. He was getting damaged internally by whatever this thing was.

  Another *boom* hits Takune and makes his eyes go blurry.

  Clenching his fist, he sent one straight jab into the crystal. Creating web-like cracks on its surface, causing it to screech with pain.

  The thing let out a piercing cry, Takune twisted his fist. Shattering it completely.

  "Phew....what the fuck, man." He let out a breath, rising with a bit of dizziness. With a hand over his head, Takune can't see quite well, but a familiar ding does reach his ear.

  [Quest complete]

  [Telekinesis (B)]

  Sitting by himself, with the unconscious body of everyone ying around. Takune sat down to see that he didn't get a new reward but instead, his ability got an upgrade.

  He wanted to question the system for more info, but he just noticed the cave structure was beginning to fall apart.

  Takune then dragged everyone out, leaving them by the entrance before leaving. He did feel kinda bad, but it wasn't his business anymore; the st thing he did was bring them back to the house.

  (Takichi's pov)

  Taken to an automobile shop, Kaneda seems really eager to show Takichi. Leading him in with a body that reeks of oil and sweat.

  "Here. Get ready for this." He was presented with a tarp-covered bike, letting Takichi see only the outline of his bike.

  *whoosh*

  Dramaticly taking the tarp off, he gets to see it in all its glory. His new bike, just like one of Kaneda in shining red. The futuristic ride gleams in the light.

  "*whistle* you really made it." He said, looking at it with admiration.

  "Hehehe....it really wasn't easy since most parts aren't even on the market. But i'll made it work." With a sense of pride in her voice, she gives him a short guide on the bike.

  "Can I sit in it?"

  "Sure, it's all yours."

  They spend the next hours configuring the bike to his liking, Takichi being clueless about the future tech has to be taught for some time.

  Time setting the bike was consuming, when they were done it was about noon already.

  "Thanks again."

  "No problem, I gotta admit the race was awesome. It's rare to find someone like you around."

  "Trust me, there is no one like me in this world." He said his goodbye before leaving. Tapping the control, the wheels hum with blue electricity.

  Takichi twists the gas handle and rides away.

  He rexes in the dusk of sundown, watching this city turning to its neon color. It was fun, he enjoyed himself in this act and getting a ride from his childhood movie was great.

  'Welp, back to work.' But now he has to go back to finish his quest.

  [World: Akira]

  [Quest: find Akira]

  Steering his bike, he turns to the abandoned city of old Tokyo. He guessed, presumably that's where Akira is.

  Last time he saw the movie was years ago, but he remembered that he was kept inside a military b. Frozen in multiple jars as his body was presumed to be too hard to contain.

  'Maybe that's why she was alive in this world.' There's an infinite world out here; it wouldn't be weird if they decided to keep Akira alive in this world.

  *Vroom*

  His bike stopped just outside a dome-like structure. Night has risen up completely by now, allowing Takichi to blend in with the dark.

  "Here i am." He put his bike into inventory and brought out a pair of binocurs. Scouting the building, he saw the word 'AKIRA' boldly in bck.

  "Seriously, if you want to keep a secret. Why make everything in big, bold letters." Not that he is compining.

  One other thing he noticed was the chaos and destruction happening. He sees the structure shake and rumble; that sight gives him an uneasy feeling.

  Not too far away is a girl, nothing too much to recognize her by. Except for a long red cape draped around her.

  'That's...Tesuo,' he paused, then spreading both arms to the side; the World appeared from his back.

  Positioning himself in a jumping pose, fussing the part in his leg, he bends his leg for a huge leap in the air.

  Tesuo is the movie's antagonist; she was in Kaneda's gang before becoming psychic through contact with Akira.

  This is getting out of hand fast, there isn't just one psychic he needs to take care of. He might be facing two, which is a lot harder.

  In the movie, Tesuo was able to ftten the city with her psychic might. He assumed Akira could do the same on a much bigger scale. And if they were to meet, the worst case is him fighting two of them.

  "I need to get to her first." He muttered to himself and nded right at the dome gate with a loud thud. Ignoring the people running out, he alone ran inside.

  Thanks to the herd of people running out, he doesn't have to worry much about things like security or access. Brute forcing his way in was fairly easy.

  *crash*

  "Yep, this should be the pce." He said, The World snapping open some metal doors with the the word 'warning' written all over them.

  Of course, he ignores it and goes in. Red lights fsh, and the arm sounds keep on ringing, but his feet move forward all the same.

  Out from one turn, he stops.

  In front of him is a woman in a medical gown. Guns, rocks, and various sharp objects float with her at the center.

  Akira's stance was rexed, as she did not perceive him to be a threat at all. A stark contrast to Takichi, who is having trouble just staying in her presence.

  They stand in a long hallway, her almost absent-minded eyes meet the green glow behind his steel-focus eyes.

  Feet moving his body forward, he and The World ran right at her. Akira responded only with a simple wave of her hand; the floating objects all pointed at her target, and she let them fly.

  Cutting through the air, rocks, gss shards, and many more, all flying like bullets to him.

  'The World!' His stand parried them all. Spirituall fist smashing them aside.

  He was about to keep running when his feet stopped involuntarily. No, his body, all of them was put in a hold.

  Akira has one hand, extended. Like grabbing an imaginary ball, she squeezes, finger tightening. He could feel the crushing force being exerted, so The World flew at her. One nasty left hook met her face, knocking her head to the wall.

  The grip goes away, and Takichi charges again. Taking out of inventory a loud microphone, he digs in a deep breath.

  "S???????????????????????l???????????????????e?????????????e????????p??????????????" hitting her with his curse speech, he saw Akira's eyes twitched heavily. Puting as much resistant as she can to fight off his voice.

  Mouth spewing blood, the recoil toll is already too much to hold. This means she is much stronger than him, and if he is to use curse speech again, he is going to have to spend a lot more energy.

  Akira's body y in the hole, but he wasn't sure if his moves worked.

  'The World managed to hit her.' He spotted a faded wall of invisible energy coating her body, 'can she see my stand ? Doesn't matter, I have to finish her fast.'

  Before Takichi's feet could step closer. A voice spoke directly into his mind.

  'Who are you ?'

  The voice was invasive but calm, sounding a bit armed but not yet hostile. Takichi did not have the chance to reply before his body was violently thrown sideways through the walls.

  *crash*

  The World, to protect him. Flew over and pce him in a hug, hands covering his vital area. Her muscur, ethereal form wrapped around him like a protective shell. Massive arms encircled his head and torso in a firm embrace, its shimmering body contouring to his frame just as he met the brick wall by the sudden pulse of an invisible force.

  *Crash*

  Debris bounced off its gleaming form while it shielded Takichi like an armored cocoon, gritting its ghostly teeth in silent defiance.

  As soon as they stopped at the 7th or 8th wall. Takichi was in a pile of rubble, gasping for breath, shaken but alive. Cracks lined his Stand’s glowing golden exterior, but its grip never loosened for a bit.
