Chapter 10 - Never trust bathrooms with strange entryways.

[BILLY]

That damn Ginga… where did he go off to!

[EVERYONE]

GINGA!

WHERE'D YOU GO!

[TWO EXASPERATED MEN]

E- Excuse me…

Are you guys also looking for a missing team member?

[JACK]

Yes! His name is Ginga!

Have you seen him around?!

[BOKKI]

He wont know how he looks just from his name, idiot.

[STERN MAN]

It's fine. 

No, I haven't heard of that man besides the roster announcements.

Say, if you guys are looking for your friend… could we look for our friend with you?

[BILLY]

I don't see why not.

[BOKKI]

Hey! 

Who made you the leader?

I'm the main character, remember?!

[BILLY]

Enough telling people off, Bokki.

You're an odd jobber right?

[BOKKI]

Well I was, until this geezer made me become a mochi maker.

What of it?

[BILLY]

I've got a job for you:

Help us find our friends!

[BOKKI, chuckles]

See that old man?

I told you I can do my own thing.

[GORO chuckles]

[BOKKI]

Fine, I'll take your offer.

Don't think I'll go any easier in the tournament though.

[BILLY]

You're on.

[STERN MAN]

I assume this is a good time to introduce my friend and I here.

[LONG-HAIRED MAN]

Hey, no need to introduce me!

I can do it myself.

I'm Pat Halifax.

[STERN MAN]

And I'm Giyu.

Patsu and I have trained alongside one another for years now.

[PAT]

That's right.

[SOBA]

What about your last name, Mr. Giyu?

[GIYU]

I don't have one.

[BOKKI]

Well, It's great to meet you guys.

Let's get going though, we got some friends to find.

[GORO]

We should, but we don't even know where to start.

Billy, Jack, where did you two last see Ginga?

[JACK]

We last saw him after signing in.

After that, he left to go to the bathroom I think.

[PAT]

Woah…

That's the same situation we lost Yue Lan in.

[BOKKI]

So it's settled.

Let's head to the bathrooms and start there.

[The 7 head to the bathroom to see. When they arrive, they find a large corridor, at the end the two bathrooms.]

[BOKKI]

Why the hell would it be structured like this?

[SOBA]

Yeah, it's certainly odd.

[As the 7 walk down the hall, Soba stumbles upon what seems to be a hidden door blended into the wall, a piece of toilet paper sticking out from underneath]

[SOBA]

Hey, look over here.

There's a door!

[GORO, goes pale]

It can't be…

[ANNOUNCER]

ATTENTION ALL FIGHTERS, PLEASE START MAKING YOUR WAY TO THE RING!

[SHADOWY FIGURES, looking through security camera footage of the hallway]

[FIGURE 1]

That's our call boys.

They almost had us, it was too close of a call.

[FIGURE 2]

All I needed to do was act as the announcer, I knew they'd give in.

[FIGURE 3]

HAHAHA!

That's the first time you've ever done something interesting, Taira!

[FIGURE 2/Taira?]

SHUT UP TARO!

I'M PLENTY INTERESTING, ILL HAVE YOU KNOW.

[FIGURE 4]

Is that so?

If you're so interested then get out of here and let me do my work.

I stay in the chair, you guys fight.

Those were the agreements were they not?

[FIGURE 1]

Simmer down, Zanka.

We understand it wasn't in your best interest to be here but we needed someone of your caliber to pull off what we plan on doing today.

[FIGURE 4/Zanka?]

Heh…

Thanks for the praise at least, old man.

[FIGURE 1]

Ok boys, tournament time.
