THE EYEZ OF ZANDA

Chapter 23 : What to do.

[This Storytelling was an Explanatory of Flashback and Presence].

Taka's vision blurs, darkness consumes him. The poison's effects intensify.

FLASHBACK

THE NIGHT BEFORE EARLY IN THE MORNING.

Haratashi sensei, Ally Sato and Taka Yutaruō shared a tent, exhausted from their journey. Unbeknownst to Haratashi, Ally Sato desperation for his girlfriend's safety drove him to escape.

THE IMPOSTER ENTRANCE

As Ally Sato disappeared into the night, a mysterious figure emerged from the shadows. A member of the Shadow Organization overpowered Ally Sato, transporting him to their hideout.

THE DETAIL CARRYOUT AND COPY OF BODY IMAGE

The imposter, ROUTNOT, assumed Ally Sato identity, replicating his memories and appearance. Haratashi remained unaware of the switch.

PRESENT

Taka struggles to maintain consciousness.

TAKA :(To Himself) How could Sato...no, ROUTNOT, deceive me? What's their true intention? People hidden in the Shadowy limitation of the the Cave...I will save you all.

ROUTNOT : Foolish Taka. Your mother's capture is just the beginning.

Taka's eyes flicker, his body weakened.

THE COUNTDOWN

11 hours...before the poison takes its to another level of elimination.

DESPERATE MEASURE

Taka's mind races as his body succumbs to the poison.

Taka: (whispers) ROD...help me...take control...

ROD's consciousness surfaces, assessing the situation.

ROD (TAKA) : Deep Voice, (gritting teeth) ROUTNOT.... you'll pay.

Taka's body begins to regenerate, ROD's influence coursing through his veins.

Taka's eyes snap open, determination burning within.

Taka breaks free from his restraints, fleeing the Shadow Organization's hideout not concerned on Haratashi Sensei.

Explanatory : Why was because he felt like what ROUTNOT meant by "his mother captured is just beginning" means what the Shadow Org as planned was to kill all The people there. Including Ally Sato that was trapped there.

THE HUNT BEGINS

ROUTNOT and Shadow agents give chase.

Taka must evade capture, uncover ROUTNOT's true intentions, and rescue his people.

"KUNSHORIS...Eclipse...Shadow's Heart.

Taka spotted a people who seemed to be carriers, carrying a casket.

TAKA : Who could that be on the casket they are carrying, Here goes nothing but something, KUNSHORIS!.

With the KUNSHORIS but not the Jenshoris he could see the person laying down on the casket, it was Haratashi sensei.

TAKA : Master!, are this carriers One of the Shadows in disguise. I bet i need to use ABSORP.

TAKA (ABSORP) : ABSORP mined if I use your ability for a sec I mean a while, this ain't gonna be easy, Yeah, Yeah , Yeah you could have the technique, on one condition, What's that, pull up up a better stragedy, wow ABSORP, you know for a silly guy like you, I've never thought you will be so advisable. ROD : ME TOO. ABSORP : The shadow gang ain't the people you oughta be messing around, okay got it, Well then, who do you have in mind to turn to, I think it is obvious, time to OUT SMART THIS PUNK. Change to ALLY SATO, when being caught turn me to Haratashi, I don't know what you are talking about but, Okay.
