Chapter 5: Disaster Strikes! An Oniaku Spotted!
"The Trio makes a name for themselves—the strongest discover their talent."
The chapter opens with the Miracle Trinity wandering through the city of Tokyo.
Akari (starry-eyed): "Geez! Tokyo is so cool! I wanna try their pork ramen!" It's around sunset now. The trio's stomachs growl—they're hungry. Kade: "Look! A ramen shop!" Akari & Santu (In unison): "Ooo! Yummy!" Their tongues hang out as they rush toward dinner.
The Soldiers follow them into the Ramen Shop and they order their food.
Akari: "May I get a pork ramen?"
Santu: "I'll have the beef ramen."
Kade: "I'll go with pork ramen too."
Shortly after their food arrives—and they dig in like it's their last meal.
Akari: "YUMMY!!"
Santu: "THIS IS SO GOOD!"
Kade: "HOLY CRAP!"
Moments later, they finish eating and they head outside. The sun is setting, the breeze is cool, and the sky is clear. They walk past an alley. A mysterious person is staring at them. Kade notices it, he blinks and it's gone. He turns to his left—BAM! The person throws a punch at Akari stomach. Akari gags. Blood splatters. The soldiers ignore it, thinking that the trio can handle it.
Akari is sent flying, Santu and Kad, eyes wide, realize—that person was an… Oniaku. The Oniaku lunges towards Kade, attempting to throw a powerful punch. Kade (whispering): "Reverse." The Oniaku's punch that was headed towards Kade, instead came back to him—the Oniaku gets sent flying. It stands up and lunges towards him again, punch after punch, but every time—it hits the Oniaku.
Santu sees this and raises his fist, aligning with his shoulder. Santu: "Santu Bu-." But Kade holds his wrist. "Don't. We're in a city." The Soldiers hear this and give a confused look. Akari gets up and cracks his knuckles. The other two approach him. Santu: "Are you okay?" Akari (softly): "Yeah, I'm fine."
The Oniaku stands up again after Kade's beatdown. It bolts towards the three—but Kade's glare freezes it mid-run. WHAM! Akari and Santu appear from both sides and punch the Oniaku in the head. It gags and collapses—unconscious. The soldiers approach the knocked-out Oniaku. They carry it to a nearby river and throw its body into the water.
Akari: "Whew! That was a close call." Santu: "Yeah." Kade: "Let's be more careful this time."
Meanwhile, at the RSG HQ
Sora: "Hey! What was that? Akari's device turned red for a moment."
