Chapter 9 - Silent Death

Jinsoku stands up and wipes the blood off his mouth.

Jinsoku: "And them?"

Marcus: "Oh, them? Just spectators. They won't get involved. Do you accept the challenge?"

Jinsoku: "I mean, you brought yourself to me. This is a lucky opportunity for some more points."

Marcus: "Overconfident."

Jinsoku: "Do you blame me? Apparently I have fans."

Marcus: "'Fan' is not the word I'd use."

Jinsoku (in head): "I'll have to end this quick."

Jinsoku: "Let's get this moving, ok?"

Marcus: "... As you wish."

Marcus throws a knife towards Jinsoku but he manages to dodge it. The knife pierces the tree behind him. As Jinsoku glances back, Marcus jumps towards him and kicks but Jinsoku manages to dodge. Marcus hits the tree, damaging the bark a bit. Jinsoku gains some space and Marcus lands on the ground.

Jinsoku: "Careful. The tree isn't apart of the fight."

Marcus pulls out the knife from the tree.

In the south west area of the woods, Kassius and Arnold continue fighting. Kassius and Arnold punch each other and are both sent to the ground.

Kassius: "Damn, you're good!"

Arnold: "Same to you."

Both of them leap to their feet and continue fighting. At the starting point, Hermes picks up Bonnie and Sarah.

Hermes (in head): "The second part is almost done. And not that many left conscious..."

Back in the north area of the woods, Jinsoku tries to get off the floor as Marcus walks towards him.

Marcus: "For all that talk about you, I expected more."

Marcus tries stamping on him but Jinsoku flips back and stands up. Jinsoku looks at Marcus.

Jinsoku (in head): "Shit! I can't see straight. I'm so dizzy... I can barely see..."

Jinsoku holds his head, as he slowly approaches Marcus.

Marcus: "I'll end this now."

Jinsoku disappears.

Marcus (in head): "Predictable."

Jinsoku appears behind Marcus and tries to kick him but Marcus dodges, kicking Jinsoku back. Jinsoku coughs up more blood as he gets sent back. Marcus marches up to him again.

Marcus: "Subayai..."

Person 1: "Yo Marcus! We found a person waiting behind the tree."

Person 2: "I think he's in your set."

The two bring the captured individual to Marcus. He looks into Jinsoku's eyes.

Marcus: "Just give me a moment."

Marcus walks towards the captured person.

Marcus: "So, are you w-"

Captured person: "Cut the bullshit! Don't try that you bastard! I saw what you did to the others."

Marcus holds his hand out, and one of the people in his group hand him a knife. He points it at the captured person's head.

Marcus: "What did I do exactly?"

Marcus smiles as he stares at the captured guy.

Captured person: "You're... you're sick... ho-"

Marcus stabs him in the neck, with a look of disappointment over his face.

Marcus: "Another bland person. It seems there is nobody interesting in my set. What a boring test."

Jinsoku: "Are you deranged?!"

Marcus: "Hmm?"

Jinsoku: "Why the hell did you kill him? The test doesn't require it."

Marcus: "Oh... I guess... because he was worthless."

Jinsoku, apalled, looks at Marcus with an infuriated look.

Marcus: "He was weak. And wouldn't even fight for his life. He didn't care about his life so why should I? Honestly, Furantur is just wasting their time with people like that. I'm doing them a favour."

Jinsoku: "So you think you can decide who lives and who doesn't based on your own sense of worth?"

Marcus: "No. It's just that someone that weak doesn't decide anything. They are simply at the mercy of those above them."

Jinsoku stands on his feet.

Marcus: "It's ironic, that I get my morals checked by a murderer."

Jinsoku: "...You don't know what you're talking about."

Marcus: "I thought you and I were alike. But, I was wrong. Let's finish this, shall we?"

The two guys grab Jinsoku.

Jinsoku: "Hey! What the hell?"

Marcus: "I don't care about you anymore."

Marcus kicks Jinsoku in the head and stomach. He then punches Jinsoku repeatedly. He stops and Jinsoku, bloodied up, is kicked into a tree again once more and falls to the ground, barely holding onto consciousness. Jinsoku's head starts aching even worse.

Jinsoku (in head): "Ahh! No, I don't want to. But I do! No!"

"No! Don't do it! Argh!"

"Please- Aah!"

Jinsoku: "No! I didn't mean to!"

Marcus picks up his knife. However, as he swings it at Jinsoku, he stops the knife with the palm of his hand, piercing right through.

Jinsoku: "..."

Jinsoku tries punching Marcus but Marcus jumps back and gathers space. Jinsoku stands up, bloody and bruised all over. He removes the knife from his palm.

Jinsoku: "..."

Marcus: "So, he finally shows himself."

Jinsoku takes a glance at Marcus. As their eyes meet, Jinsoku smiles in a sinister way.

Person 1: "Who do you think yo-"

Jinsoku disappears and instantly appears in front of guy, kicking his neck. He falls to the floor, holding onto his cracked neck, struggling to breathe. He stares back at Marcus.

Marcus: "Were you not just lecturing me on killing a moment ago?"

Jinsoku: "..."

Jinsoku grabs his head in pain. He begins to smile, but tears run down his face.

Marcus: "Surround him."

All the remaining of the group surround Jinsoku, yet all his focus remains on the person he hurt, as they lay there dead.

Jinsoku (in head): "Did I... I can't..."

Jinsoku looks up to the sky.

Jinsoku (in head): "Such a beautiful moon."

One person from the group jumps towards Jinsoku. As he tries to tackle him, Jinsoku jumps up in the air, avoiding it. He stomps directly down, stamping on his back. They hit the ground hard, bones cracking. Jinsoku walks off of his body. He looks up to the remaining group, upset.

Jinsoku: "Please... kill me."

Angrily, the group rush Jinsoku. A guy runs up and punches Jinsoku in the face. Jinsoku takes the punch and punches the guy back in the face, knocking the guy on the floor. A guy from behind him tries to stab Jinsoku with a knife. Jinsoku turns and grabs his arm. He pulls the knife from him and stabs it directly into his chest. Another person rushes towards Jinsoku with a knife. As the guy thrusts towards Jinsoku, he dodges and causes that guy to stab the previous guy. The guy turns around to see Jinsoku, but gets punched immediately in the face, sending him to the ground bleeding through his nose as he passes out. Jinsoku finally turns to Marcus again, no longer smiling.

Marcus: "Does not speak. Does not listen. The murderer of the Subayai family, Silent Death they called you. But, you are still a man, no?"

Jinsoku pulls out a knife from one of the bodies. He cuts his skin and blood starts dripping, amusing Marcus.

Marcus: "Perhaps I was wrong."
