(To understand this post, you might want to read my initial one). "Bombs are not for children, but seeing it's size...actually, get those two injured people off the roof. Drag them if you will." KID imposingly closed in on the girl but Aster went back in the building to the shock of many. Like all villains, the criminal was not worried about his plan being foiled. But it didn't even take ten seconds when Aster came back with a bag strapped to his back, panting. He was met with Azura who was helping the other injured people get away. KID was in a predicament for the fiery girl had given him a piece of his mind and the bomb she was still carrying given to her by Horahkty-Knew-Who was convincing to not just shoot. If she dropped it the wrong way... "Can I have that?" Aster gestured to the bomb. Azura gave it to him timidly wondering what he was doing. But Aster was not Edogawa Conan who never shared any plan. "I'll make this thing explode so make sure to get away. If I die, remember me as Aster Lawrence." He said. KID had deemed it was time enough for he/she raised his seemingly harmless card gun at Mari. Aster moved fast, he moved like a wild animal that been let loose. The eyes that were on him widened, wondering how the hell he was running, his whole upper body dangerously close to the ground as he sprinted towards KID. Whoever the person was had great senses and he was able to dodge a replay of what some recognized to be the moves that Ren had been the target of. KID now stood a few steps away from Mari. He hurriedly cocked his/her gun but- *BANG* In the hands of Aster Lawrence was small pistol. It's noise had been deafening for most but that was expected of a Glock 17. KID's gun had been knocked out of his/her hands. Even he/she had not been expecting that. Aster tossed the small bomb at KID, aiming it fast but he was limited with the parachute on his back. KID leaped backward to avoid the object but headed for the boy and girl. 'Shoot! Too fast to aim!' Aster reached for the girls' arm behind him shouting "Not now!" to whatever her parted lips had to speak as he pulled her behind him running for the roof's edge. KID skidded to a stop. The bomb Aster had thrown was a dummy but the one Mari held was real. It fell to the ground and time stopped. It was a frightening sight but after a moment nothing happened to the relief of many. Things appeared to go in slow motion as Aster jumped off the railing with Mari. He brought his arms behind her waist, hugging her tight as he aimed for the bomb and pulled the trigger, his vision unhindered as he her placed his chin over her head. They were blown back by the resulting explosion, smoke covering the entire roof. KID had been to near to not have been completely unhurt. A few seconds later a parachute opened and Aster mentally sighed in relief. There was a part of him that was screaming at him that these were normal, civilian folks but that had been out ruled. If KID was human the game was over. And if that girl had escorted to Niichan and Neechan to at least one staircase below, they would still be living. ====== ..........What?

Dear Masochist+Sadist now, That's even worse. That's like someone punching your face with its importance and you still not realizing it. ~AL

Dear ^Masochist/M, Imagine all the countries that have rice as their staple you have angered. ~AL

I'm the same. But then again people had to exert great efforts for me to not drop totally misleading phrases without even knowing.

Dear sweaty girl, Take a bath~ Eat some rice. ~AL

Everyone? Does that include me? :0

"See, those parachutes could have taken a bullet for us. And uh, let go of my hand maybe?" Aster suggested. The threat of a person with a gun looming over him was nothing new. ==== Curses >:[

Dear Never, Well...a new start. The thing about me is not being a person one can talk to or relate problems to. I want to know more about a person, enough about them to know how to make them happy without having them spill anything they'd rather not talk about. ~I'm AL.

Practice what you preach.

(What? No Jaegers? :<) "Too many. Just too many." Asters' patience was being tested by the Lord, he was now sure. He had found three dummy bombs in a row after hearing about them from Ari. Ah speak of the devil, a text from him. Well he had no updates on the bombs. "You feelin' I my me mine subete!" He began to run recklessly towards the stairs followed by Ren-kun who himself had been searching for bombs on other side of the floor. "Wait banana-kun!" he called after Aster, stopping him in his tracks. "FOR HORAHKTY'S SAKE WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME? I'M ASTER!" Aster yelled before they continued running up wards. There was a store left open a few floors above. The door was slightly ajar and there were no people in there. In the distant there was the sound of police. Barely five minutes and they'd arrived huh. "Aster what does Horahkty mean?" Ren asked as he panted behind him but Aster went inside the store muttering "Google like everyone else...". He pulled out the envelope from before took out some pieces of paper from it. He didn't how much but nearly half of them, all 10,000 yen notes from his mysterious benefactors. It was a skydiving shop. He took out two bags that contained paragliders. Thank God some things were written in English too. Well, imported though they were. "And now we can fly! Come on!" He tossed one to Ren. They both rushed towards the roof. "Why the roof?!" Ren asked. "Of course KID is there." The older boy was stumped for a second. It was something very stupid but it couldn't be refuted either.

It would be a mistake to call this feeling pain, I wake up to a morning with no sun again. (Well only one or two people write in this thread in an actual song manner. )

(Well you can suppose that it's someone in a KID outfit to keep it ambiguous. And also ten minutes till the building blows. >__<)

(KID's name backward? I still can't get over the fact that a person's name has become an obscene word. Should I have made the bombs more complicated?) Aster's phone beeped. He opened it at once; people rarely texted besides some...yup he had been spammed by twin again but there was a new message from Neechan! Main columns? He looked around to see that indeed around the corner there was an emergency stairway. He repeated the message to Ari before moving on to the next. How much time had passed? There was a pile of boxes in a small alley besides two elevators and also a case containing a fire extinguisher. By law it was technically an emergency and he could break the glass for the heck of it but he busied himself with searching the boxes. There were taped ones, opened ones and....aha! another bomb. But this one looked different. "Well, no time for it! God knows when ten minutes will pass." He picked it up carefully and began walking towards the direction he came from to search for Ari. ===== (Well have to leave room for Bain to RP now~)

"Five more bombs?" Aster muttered. Besides him Amber had already lost a few screws with her cursing. Cursing while not fangirling. That meant things were serious. 'Seriously, the burning building and screaming humans are not enough?' He scolded himself. Ten minutes. Aster began to stretch his legs and jumped once or twice. When Amber was done banging her head on the wall, he ran up to it and flipped off it. "All set. Ari, you say you can defuse the bombs?" The boy began to time his watch. Sure, he knew a thing or two about defusing bombs himself but most of the time he was just the disposable who had to find them so the real people could get down to it and defuse. Amber had already run inside without any aim and Aster frowned. Something weighed on his heart but the rationality won out; bombs first, her second. Defuse the bombs quick enough and their safe for the time being. Aleksander had told them to search the first two floors. He'd go on the second one. He couldn't be wasting time. Quickly he walked to 'Ren-kun'. "Niichan." He said solemnly, despite the cutesy word. "We'll go to the second floor. I suppose you're one person to be able to follow me, arrogant as it sounds?" Time to see if all that running in soccer/football paid off. Aster ran quickly, first few steps on the stairs and then began swinging himself over the railings. In no time he had gotten to the second floor. He stood still to catch his breath as Ren caught up. Security guards were evacuating the people but knowing adults they'd get evacuated instead of being listened to instead. This was Japan, so trash would be organized enough. And inconspicuous if someone tossed a bomb in there. Aster spoke his idea to Ren and warned him of the security (Niichan was the type to rush to authority for aid) and they began the hunt for bombs. Maybe the the pillars that ran from the bottom to the top of the building would give him a clue. "!" There it was, among the plastic bags in a waste bin was a small rectangular object. Something was off. It was a very simple bomb but heavy.Simple enough that a bunch of teenagers that would watch a mystery show would be able to defuse it. Well, he couldn't just carry it now. That would be downright suspicious on CCTV. It was twice the size of a brick with a timer on it and two wires connected to the timer. Okay, so they looked similar to the ones in movie 14; the lost ship in the sky. So perhaps the simplistic way Conan defused them by pulling the wires together would work? Aster contemplated the possibility. He was more into running away from explosions then disarming them. He was about to pull the wires when- "What the hell are ya doin player?!" Ari cried. "Give that to me fool!" Well, Aster would let Ari take care of it. He looked at the other guy questioningly. "Them two girls and that blond guy are on the first floor searching, so I came to the second one." "Sure eh, thanks homie." Aster spoke awkwardly. On the next target. ===== Haha So I dragged you Ari XD

(Is it up to us how to find 'KID' or are there any guidelines for us to follow? I'd rather we not Gary Stu/Mary Sue the whole thing.)

'Hmmm. Talking on the phone. Is it a shady ice-cream dealer?' Aster thought, wondering when they would go inside.
