章節 24: Mission: EDpossible part 3 (Eddy)
The class was getting closer to the top floor.
Time was running out.
And now they had one more bad guy to deal with before they met the master man behind this whole thing.
They were now in a private concert area and were now hiding behind some seats from whoever it was that just came onto the stage.
While that was happening, the mastermind was watching the security cameras of the hotel the poisoned were in.
"Isn't that a shame. I can't see them all from this angle. Oh well, the cross section of the agonized will have to do. I ought to poison kids more often. Haha. Maybe when this is over, I'll invest the reward money in a steady supply of fresh faced runaways" said the deep voiced man as he began scratching his face over some scars he had on his face. Three on each side.

While that was happening, the class was staying quiet, trying not to give away their locations while the hired hitman kept staring out into the seats.
"15, no wait, 16 total. And young. Mid-teens. You can tell by their breathing. Everyone not laid up with the virus is here" thought the man but then he leaned his gun back and shot at a light on the stage with a loud POP.
This made some of the students yelp in shock, giving away their locations.
"FYI, this whole room is completely sound proof. You'll all be Swiss cheese long before anyone comes to the rescue" said the man as he began swinging his gun round and round.
"Come on, we all know you don't have the grapes for homicide. Surrender like good boys and girls and we'll go see..." said the man but then he was taken off guard with a bullet flying past him and hitting the wall behind him.
"Dang it. I was aiming for his gun" exclaimed Hayami in her mind.
The shot threw the man off guard as he said "What the hell?! They've got live ammo? That sounds like one of our boys M-60s. These aren't just junior high kids, they're trained assassins" thought the man but thinking on this made the man smirk as he then thought "Delicious" in excitement as he pulled out a remote and clicked a button.
Suddenly, some giant bright white lights began to light up and illuminated the room, making everyone close their eyes at its brightness as the lights showed that he was standing on top of a stage.
"This is turning out to be a job I can really sink my teeth into" said the man as he threw away the remote and smirked in anticipation.
'We're so close. Just past this guy was the monster that poisoned my friends. We made this far and we are not going to stop now. Time to get to work.'

EDventure #24 — "Misson: EDpossible part 3"
The man began to laugh out loud at the situation as the kids kept shielding their eyes from the blinding lights.
"Its too bright" thought Eric.
"Those backlights are blinding" thought Chiba.
The man then aimed his gun towards the seats as he yelled "This is going to be like a 4 star killing cook free for all" as the man then aimed at a section of the seats and fired, towards where Hayami was. Talk about pin point accuracy.
Hayami hid behind a seat as she thought "How did he fire through such a small gap?"
"I never forget an enemies position once they've fired" said the man as he smirked in pride.
"Picked up that trick in the army, think of it as battlefield synesthesia. I can echolocate the source of hostile gun fire with pin point accuracy and check my own gun by taste" said the man as he began licking his gun over then faced the audience.
"Now then I know there's still one more stolen firearm out there" said the man, which made Chiba hid himself even more.
Suddenly a voice came from out of nowhere saying "Stand by Hayami. Hold your position. Wise decision not to fire Chiba. Well played. Our opponent doesn't have a lock on you, yet. Hang tight and wait for my signal. I'll keep an eye on him and tell you when its time to shoot" said the voice again.
The man was listening to what the voice was saying but couldn't find where it was.
"Where is that coming from" thought the man but then heard a "Nuruhuhuhuhu", to which he turned...
....and saw a ball with a face in it, which turned out to be Korosensei watching the man from the front row.
The man then fired at the ball as he yelled "Hey!! You in the front row. Don't stare at me" as he reloaded his gun and began firing at at him while Korosensei just laughed at the man trying to kill as the bullet bounced off of him.
"Nuruhuhuhuhu" giggled Korosensei at how the man was wasting bullets on him.
"A seasoned marksman vs adolescent assassins. Our modest advantage I think will be quite enough" said Korosensei in excitement.
He then opened his mouth wide as he said "Ok, Kimura. Run 5 seats to your left" to which Kimura ran as fast as he could down to the seats the teacher said.
"Terasaka and Yoshida. Dash 3 seats to either side" yelled Korosensei, while the two did as they were told and ran off in different directions.
The man tried to follow their movements as Korosensei said "We've made a blind spot. Kayano two rows forward and continue to the gap. Go" yelled Korosensei as Kayano crawled on the ground and to the seats.
"Karma and Fuwa. Move 8 seats right" as they dashed their way over.
"Eric, 5 seats left to the back" as Eric used his technique to quickly move fast and back to the seats.
The class kept shuffling around as the man just watched from the stage.
"Idiot. He's shuffling them up. Big mistake, now I know their positions and their names. Straight to my memory pal" he thought as he aimed out into the seats.
Korosensei waited a tiny bit and then yelled "Alternate naming schemes. Student 12, move right and continue prepping" which took the man by surprise as a student dashed away.
"Students 4 and 5. Use your cameras on your target from between the seats. Use Ritsu to keep Chiba apprized of his movements on stage" yelled Korosensei as Meg and Okano used their phones to show Ritsu where the man was and the area from in between the cracks of the seats while Ritsu began to work her magic.
The man began to get more and more nervous at how the new change of names the ball came up with was now throwing him off at who was who.
"Ponytail, shift your position to the front left" yelled Korosensei as Toka ran forward.
"Motorcycle fan you as well 2 seats down" yelled Korosensei as Yoshida ran down the seats.
"Shark boy. Confuse the man by using what you're friends taught you" said Korosensei.
Eric then began running around like crazy, while jumping over the seats and into the next isles while carnival music was playing.
"What the hell is going on here?!" thought the man as Eric then jumped behind a seat and then feathers came flying out of seat he jumped on.
'Spending a lot of time with the Eds, you tend to pick a few things. But man, can it be exhausting. Makes me surprised they can do this stuff easily.'
"Perfect, now the student that checked out Takebayshi's favorite maid cafe, only to discover he kind of liked it, discombobulate the enemy by kicking up a racket" said Korosensei
Just as he said that, someone began punching the seats repeatedly and began yelling, "You rat bastard! That's no ones business but mine! How'd you even know?!" yelled Terasaka with an anger expression.
The man kept looking around the seats and was having a trouble keeping track of the kids and who they were.
"Who's who. Where are they. I can't....." thought the man as he kept moving his gun around.
Korosensei saw that the man was perfectly distracted and then said "Alright Chiba, the moment of truth is upon us. Get your bearings, my boy. When I give the command, fire at will" yelled Korosensei to Chiba.
The gunman heard his voice and became nervous as he kept moving his head as he kept thinking "Crap, where is he."
"Hayami. You're on follow up as needed focus on blocking the enemies evasive maneuvers. Now, a word of advice to our cool headed sharp shooters who failed the assassination attempt from earlier today" said Korosensei, which took the two by surprise as they both said "huh."
"Don't let one failure overshadow the skills you've worked so hard to cultivate. The best of us fall short of our abilities from time to time" said Korosensei, trying to make them feel better.
"You maintain a facade of stoic, nonchalance, but feel burden by the confidence your classmates place in you all the same. Few guess at your inner anguish but its there just below the surface" said Korosensei which made Chiba and Hayami grumble as they began to remember their time at Kunugigaoka and how they ended up in E-class.
Flashback
"You're alarmingly calm for some with these grades young lady. Or should I have known better than to expect for you to care" yelled Hayami's mother as she pointed at her while holding her papers.
"He won't explain himself. It's like he can't be bothered. I don't know my own son anymore" said Chiba mother to his father.
End fo Flashback
Chiba and Hayami looked down at the ground at what their teacher was talking about.
"You're not alone in this. You give it a brave face but you needn't bear the pressure on your own. If you miss the shot theres a fall back strategy" said Korosensei in his sincere voice.
"We'll play hot potato with the gun and continue shuffling everyone unit our foe has no idea where the next shot will come from. The reason that strategy will work is because everyone here has tasted the agony of defeat. Some more so than others, but the fact still remains. Yes, there's pressure, but your classmates are in the same boat. Learn to take solace in that" said Korosensei, trying to cheer up Hayami and Chiba after they failed to kill him before.
Eric couldn't help but smile at how their teacher was trying to comfort his students, even when they might die here.
'Leave to Korosensei to always try and comfort us, even when we're facing an opponent and our lives are in danger, he still tries to be a teacher.'
While that was happening, the hitman smirked as he thought "Thanks for the pep talk. Gave me time to get my bearings and work out a counter strategy. Everybody's moved except student 12 and I have a good idea where they are. They're all breathing heavy, like they're nervous, cooking something up. Eh, doesn't matter, the second someone pops their little head up, they die" thought the man in cockiness.
Korosensei smirked as he said "Okey dokie here we go" with determination as the light gleamed off of him.
The man licked his gun again as he thought "Oh yes the flavor. I am one with my gun" in his creepy way.
Korosensei waited a while but then shouted "Student 12. Stand and fire now" to which someone popped out from a seat, and in that split second, the hitman fired his gun at the kid as he yelled "ah ha" as the bullet hit its mark.
But before the man could smirk in pride, he looked closer at the target and gasped
"Huh? A decoy?!" exclaimed the man in shock as he saw a stuffed dummy holding one of the airlift guns, while on a stick. Like a certain Jalapeño.
While that happened, Chiba reacted quick as the class and the man heard Ritsu say "That's where you want to aim" as Chiba jumped out from a seat and began looking through a split section of his hair, aiming at the stage while a glimpse of his eyes could be shown.
'And I thought we would never see them.'
"You got it" said Chiba as he fired the gun at the stage, as he then jumped back.
The man just stood on the stage, expecting to feel pain from the gun but he didn't. He realized that the kid had missed him by a long shot.
The man then began to laugh and laugh as he then said "Nice shooting son. Too bad now I know where...."
BAM
Before the man could fire or even finish his sentence, he was hit by something hard and metal, which turned out to be the brackets, holding the stage lights, as they slammed into him with full force.
"They......they aimed for the brackets........ on the stage lights. That's not fair" thought the man as he slid across the floor. He groaned in pain at the sudden hit and tried to focus on hitting Chiba again but then another shot was fired and the bullet managed to knock away the man guns to the side as it slide on the ground.
"Finally" thought Hayami as she lowered her gun in satisfaction.
The man seemed to have enough as he groaned in pain and defeat as he then fell to the floor.
Terasaka smirked as he then ran out from his spot and yelled "Tag him and bag him" as the others began running out from the seats and towards the stage, to restrain the man, while Sugaya followed the crowd, carrying the dummy the man shot on his back.
"I'll just make a scarecrow in total silence. No big" he said as he carried it to the stage
Eric patted him on the back as he said "Hey, every little thing counts man. Good work" as he ran off to help the other, making Sugaya feel less tired and unappreciated.
Karasuma came out from behind his seats as he said "That was a white knuckle ride. I'm impressed they held it together. I've known pros who would've tanked."
"With the balance of opportunity and motivation, anyone can expand their horizon" said Korosensei as the class began climbing onto the stage and began to talk in excitement at how they cam out on top.
"They just have to move out of their comfort zone, but we can't often do it on our own. We need a foe to challenge our complacency. Force us to draw upon resources we never knew we had. That, you see, is precisely why I became a teacher. To spark potential to give my students both the opportunity to succeed and the motivation" said Korosensei with pride as he was happy to see his students taking all that they've learned to heart and expressing them now.
Karasuma looked at the kids talking in pride at how they came out on top and how thrilling it felt.
"Some education. Look at them these kids just came through a shoot out" thought Karasuma as he then saw Hayami and Chiba bumping arms, with smiles on their faces in pride.
"And here they are all smiles and self confidence" he finished thinking.
But then Eric began walking towards the back door as he then said "Ok guys" which made the class look at him.
"We may have defeated an expert shooter but we're still one man away from saving our friends. The Mastermind behind this whole operation" said Eric which made the class stop their cheering and realized that they still weren't done.
"Now come on. Times a wasting" said Eric as he opened the door and began heading to the next floor, while the other nodded and began following him.
'Here we go. The last floor. The only place the man that poisoned our friends could be at. We're finally going to get some answers. No more wasting time. This time, we strike back.'
0000000000000000000000
The class made it to the next floor. They saw a guard watching the hallway leading to the top floor. Karasuma could now stand on his own two feet and had managed to sneak up on the man and put him in a choke hold.
"That's not too bad. Looks like a good portion of my mobility is back. I think I'm back to half strength" said Karasuma as he then let go of the man after he stopped struggling as he the man fell to the floor.
The class just sweat dropped as not too long ago, he couldn't stand so well.
"Which means you're about twice as badass as a normal human being" said Kimura as he sweat dropped in nervousness.
"Why didn't we just send him on this mission alone?" said Meg as Karasuma looked around a corner as Eric joined him as well as Kayano and Nagisa.
"That'll lead us to the top floor, right" said Eric to the others.
"Yep" said Kayano.
Isogai looked at his watch and saw that they were getting closer and closer to the deadline as he said "We're seriously coming down to the wire."
But he was interrupted by Korosensei, who was in Nagisa's hands now, saying "Children" which made the rest of the class look at him at what he was going to say.
"It occurs to me that the master mind above is not attuned to his resources. In fact, thus far, his hired hands have been egregiously misused" informed Korosensei, which made some of the students gasp at what he said.
"Lookouts, glorified bouncers. This isn't how one employs assassins. If our foe had aligned the men we've encountered with their skillset, they'd have been fearsome indeed" said Korosensei, which made the class think back to the men they encountered, whose names were Smog, Grip and Gastro.
"You've got a point. That last guy wasn't off target by a centimeter. He hit the dummy dead set in the head. Had that been a real person, they would've died" said Chiba as he recalled the scarecrow Sugaya made and how the bullet was dead set in the middle of his head.
"And consider Karmas opponent. Normally, the man would've have just snuck up behind him and crushed his wind pipe before we even knew he even existed" said Korosensei, as Karma agreed with him saying "no doubt sure."
Hearing this, Karasuma began to think about the men the met before going into the theater room.
"Of course, why didn't I see it before? The master mind doesn't think like an assassin because he isn't one" thought Karasuma as he then began thinking of a new plan.
He then turned to the class as he said "Alright new plan. First off, Isogai, Terasaka, Yoshida I want the three of you..."" but while that was going on, Terasaka began to sweat.
Eric saw this then began to feel his neck. This made Terasaka turn to him as he asked "Whats your deal?"
Eric became nervous as he said "Dude you're burning up. You feeling ok?" as he then began to think more and was about to say something but Terasaka stopped him by covering his mouth.
"Shut up. I'm fine. Look man, I've got stamina to spare. It's just a fever. My system will kick it out" said Terasaka, trying to keep him quiet.
Eric pulled his hand away as he said in worry "But the virus is deadly. We need...."
"You need to keep your mouth shut. Mr. K almost died because of me. If I hadn't been an idiot, he wouldn't have been gassed. And in case you haven't been keeping score, that's not the first crap I've pulled that nearly cost everyone their lives" said Terasaka in guilt at all the past troubles he had done in the past.
"If I drop out, I'll bring the mission down. Who cares if I'm sick, I'm not going to do that" said Terasaka trying to be strong and determined not to give up.
"Terasaka don't...." said Eric, trying to reason with him but Terasaka just brushed him off saying "watch me" as the class began to move to the stairs."
'Up those stairs was the man behind the whole thing. But shockingly........
0000000000000000000000
The class made it to a room as they walked down a hall and saw a light, lighting up a room. Karasuma looked around the corner and saw a luxury looking room with many comfy seats and sofas.
At the end of the room, he saw three monitors sitting on a desk as a chair was blocking the view of most of them with a silhouette of a man in the chair could be seen on the wall. Karasuma then gestured his hand, which gave the students the signal to move forward. Quietly.
The class did so but they did in a quite way as they walked along the floor without making a sound. Korosensei was surprised by this. A technique they no doubt learned from Karasuma.
"Ooo Nanba. Ninjas are said to have used this walking style. I've noticed my students favor the silent, thoughtful approach to killing these day over more abrupt methods" thought Korosensei as he looked as his students walking around very quietly.
"Look at them now. Even with the time crunch, they stubbornly refuse to panic. I'm so indescribably proud. Whoever were about to face, my students will certainly give them more than they bargained for" thought Korosensei as he stared at the chair in front of him, as the class walked quietly over to the chair, with Karasuma taking the lead. They stopped right behind the chair and waited in anticipation.
Karasuma looked at his surroundings in front of him as he began calculating their next move. He then looked down and saw a brief case, with what looked like explosives on it.
"Odds are the antidote is in the case and that case is rigged, with plastic explosives. We're right on time. Ideally, we'll be able to take this man by surprise" thought Karasuma as he began giving out hand gestures to the class to move in and get ready.
"If he spots us, his first instinct to go for the detonator. I'll take it upon myself to to shoot him in the arm. Once that's out of the way, we'll rush in as a group and dog pile the son of a bitch. Now....."
"Ugh, this itch" said a voice in front of the class, which everyone knew was the master mind but that wasn't the reason the class looked so disturbed and scared by.
"It burns no matter what I do. Still, one mans sensitivity is another mans hyper-vigilance. Makes me feel wired to my surroundings" said the man as suddenly he raised his hand and out came several little black boxes with buttons which fell to the ground in front of the class, spreading around them.
Eric was surprised by this but it wasn't because of the buttons. No, his eyes never left the chair as he heard the man's voice.
"You didn't think this would be easy, did you. I told you I'd find a way to wipe the octopus off the face of the earth. Oh, and you can see when it comes to little details like detonator switches, I'm a big believer in redundancy" said the man as he held out more switches.
The class was still in awe at what was happening. They were taken off guard and couldn't remove their gazes from the chair.
Eric eyes were still wide at how scared he was feeling. He heard that voice, twice before.
Karasuma knew that voice too as he aimed his gun at the chair as he said "I reached out to 4 professionals before we came on this trip. 3 of them freelance killers but the other was an old colleague who as it turns out had been founded out of committing child abuse and endangerment along with several people coming forward with the abuse that he had put them through but before they could even arrest him, he went MIA after embezzling funds from the ministry of defense" said Karasuma as the man in the chair began to stand up and turned to face the kids.
When they saw his face, the whole class gasped in shock at who the mastermind behind the whole was. They were scared at who he was as some stepped back from him. Eric was especially shocked, but he didn't move from his spot, as he knew thought he would meet this guy ever again.
'.......the master mind behind this whole thing was someone I never thought I would see again. After all, I know that voice far too well but it seemed even more sinister.'
The man who had appeared from behind the chair and was now facing them.......
...was Eric's old enemy, as well as the man who gave him his black eye.........
............Akira Takaoka, only this time with a more messed up face. His hair was cut short, his eyes were now more scary than before but what stood out the most was the three scars he had on the sides of his face.
"What the hell are you doing, Akira Takaoka?!!" yelled Karasuma as he stared at the man.
Takaoka just kept smiling at the class as he said "My, what naughty children. Trying to sneak up on dear old daddy dearest. You disappoint me" as he then turned to Eric, who still had his shocked face.
"Especially you, Eric my boy. I thought I raised you better than this. You've spent enough time with me that I excepted you to be above your class and know exactly what I look for when it comes to expectations. I know some boys and girls that are going have to go to summer school this year now" said Takaoka as he scratched
Hearing this, Eric's scared expression turned into one of anger as he then began to growl in anger as he clenched his fists as hard as he could. The class soon turned to Eric as they heard his growls of anger as they then saw his hateful glare show up in his face.
His black eye glowed an ominous color as he was glaring ahead of them with his gritting teeth made the whole class shake in fear. They had never seen this side of him ever since the last time they met Takaoka and he was about to kill him.
The class then began to feel like they were now in the sea, shrouded in the dark blue sea and they saw a shark heading for them. They had never felt so scared in their lives. Eric's glare was really something scary to them.
Yada was especially worried. She knew the past he had with him and seeing him glare at Takaoka again made her fear that his killer instincts were rising up and were about to resurface.
Eric kept glaring at him as he growled saying "So this was your doing this whole time. You poisoned my friends. You made them drink that virus and now they're dying because of you" and just as he said that, he suddenly sprinted forward in a quick reaction.
He then yelled "I'm going to kick your ass, you bastard" as he swung his fist back and was about to strike him. But Takaoka managed to move away from his attack, which made Eric fall into a table and break it as he hit the floor.
The class gasped at his reaction while Yada gasped while yelling "ERIC" and ran over to him to worry.
Takaoka just smiled as he said "Now, now Eric. I know your excited to see me but you don't need to be that ecstatic. But try and swing at me again and you can say bye bye to the only friends you ever had" as he then grabbed the case.
He then faced the class as he said "Let's head up to the roof, huh. I've got a little surprise up there you're bound to get a kick out of. Oh and before you get any bright ideas, bear in mind, you're only alive because daddy's feeling generous" as the class just stared at him with hateful glares.
They knew what he secretly was after hearing what he did to Eric and they were scared as to what he was talking about for what was up above him.
Eric got up from his feet, while Yada tried to help him but Eric just pulled himself away from her in anger. Yada became more and more worried for Eric.
"I never thought that I would see this side of Eric again. I thought that was only going to be a one time thing. Never did I think that his killer side would resurface. What was I going to do. I don't want to see Eric this anger again. What do I do."
0000000000000000000000
The class followed Takaoka to the roof, while some tried to keep Eric from attacking him. Eric wanted to but he remembered that he had the antidote, the only thing to save his friends and classmates.
When they got to the top, bright lights were shown lighting up the area, showing a helipad in the roof as the wind blew fiercely as Akira then stopped at some stairs leading to the helipad as the class kept their distance from him.
"Hiring assassins. Infecting students with potential lethal viruses. What the hell is wrong with you?! Why are you doing this, you sick bastard" yelled Karasuma as the class was right behind him with glaring faces at him while Eric kept growling at him.
"Strong words there, friend. I assure you, I am perfectly sane. Though I suspect world saviors are often thought of as mad. If you had done as I instructed and have the runts of the liter bring the goods on their own, my assassination plan would've gone without a hitch and we'd all be winners" said Takaoka as he looked at Eric and Yada.
"I'd wanted to use, what's her name, Yada. Yea, she was important to the plot. I knew that if those weirdo Eds were sick, she would have to fill in for them, since I knew she and Eric had some kind of a connection since I saw the two of them on that date of yours a while ago" said Akira, making Eric gasp along Yada and the class.
Eric's eyes just widened as he then clenched his fists as he growled and said "You were there?! You were spying on us that entire time?!" as he kept glaring at him.
Akira just kept his crazed smile as he said "Of course, it's a dad job to know who his children like and make friends with. But I could see that must've formed some kind of partnership with her. So I knew she would've been perfect for my plan. Oh, it was a doozy" as he then laughed a little.
"My bathtub here is over flowing with anti-sensei bb's. I'd have set her up in there with the target in the vat of BB's, and then entomb the whole thing in concrete. The only way for the octopus to return to his normal form without touching the BB's would've been to have blown everything sky high including the girl. Though, if I'm being honest, it would've been a good thing if you had left, dear Yada. You're way too toxic for this class. Especially with Eric" said Takaoka, shocking not only Yada, but the class as well at him words.
Yada was scared by what exactly he was meaning as she covered her mouth in shock as Eric grunted in anger at his words as he stepped in front of Yada, keeping her away from him.
"What in the hell do you mean by "toxic", you sick bastard?! Yada is one of the sweetest, most kindest girl in the world. She wouldn't want to harm anyone nor even be at the levels that you've stooped so low to" yelled Eric at Akira as Akira's expression didn't change.
"She's too toxic for you Eric. I saw how the two of you were acting with each other at that carnival. She was trying to cheer you up with false hope and words. She was trying to make you feel better and I can't simply let you feel different Eric. You're meant to be a soldier and soldiers don't have emotions. Here, you're my student and my students should be hard and tough, not soft and warm inside. Honestly, do you not remember what I tried to teach you the first time. You listened to my lessons the first time. But in our next encounter, you decided retaliate and hit dear old dad" said Akira as he then began to chuckle a bit.
"At first, I didn't understand it. I thought I taught you better than anyone, but that was when it hit me. Before, you listened to my lessons and did what I said but when we met again, you tried to strike back. And what was it that was different than before. It was those cursed Eds that made you think that it was ok to defy daddy dearest. They filled your head with these feelings and made you think that you had a choice in the matter when it came to my lessons. So I thought that if I got rid of them, then you would forget emotions and soon see that what you were doing was the wrong way, and you would return to me and we could start again. A clean slate, Eric" said Akira, as he sounded like his logic was sound and correct.
He then began to laugh out loud as the class was in complete shock at what he had just said, but none more so than Eric. Eric was beyond pissed and angry.
'That was his logic. Kill the Eds and I'd go back to him and his abusive teachings?! He really thought that was going to work?! Fuck no. I'd never go back to that bastard. God, I was beyond pissed in that moment in my life.'
Akira then stopped his laughing as he looked at Eric and said "That was my plan, but when I saw you and Yada going to that Carnival, I realized that I was losing time. You were already starting to start something with Yada. I could see you smiling so I knew she had to go too. After all, I can't have my students back talking to me if they have feelings now. So I'm sorry if you don't like it Eric, but I can't have you getting ideas to defy me and my teachings. So she had to die. And I figured that it would've been very entertaining if her fate was left in the hands of the octopus" as he kept smiling while still talking.
The class was beyond shocked at this point. They were mortified by this monster before them now. Just when they thought that he was bad before. He was just getting worse and worse every moment that spent with him. But none were as pissed at him then Eric.
Hearing how he planned to kill the Eds and Yada, the most important people in his life, just so he'd lose his emotions and go back to his abusive teachings. And that he followed them during their time at the carnival just made him more and more angry.
"We all know he would never do such an inhuman thing to the children in his care so I figured he'd take the honorable way and not to dissolve in risk of killing his students" said Takaoka with his crazy eyes in excitement.
"He's not even a human anymore. He's the Devil incarnate" said Terasaka in anger as the class looked at Akira in anger and disgust. From what Eric told him, he was bad enough but this was just plain despicable. Down right, awful and terrible.
Korosensei just stared at the man in disgust as he smile turned to one of anger.
"I won't lie. It gave daddy quite a fright when he saw you all came in masked. Doesn't change things much but still. Oh, and my mood will play a significant role as to where you'll walk out of this alive" said Takaoka as he gave the class a glare as he held the remote in his hand.
Korosensei's face turned into red of anger with veins pooping out as he said "Intolerable. You can't really imagine you'd actually get away from this" in a growling voice.
Takaoka just smirked as he said "Actually, I think there's a pretty decent chance. Either way, I think we can all agree this route is a hell of a lot more humane than the treatment I got from your class" as he began recalling the torment and mockery he got after coming back from the class.
Flashback
"Did you here. Takaoka got his ass handed to him by a bunch of junior high kids."
Scratch scratch
"He blew his missions after bragging about his teaching chops. Oh man that's hilarious."
Scratch scratch
"No its worse than that. I heard that he abused and beat the grandchild of "The Raven."
Scratch scratch
"Wait, "The Raven." The man that made you feel like you were dead after training a man after a few hours."
Scratch scratch
"The very same."
"And he abused a kid. That's disgraceful. And illegal."
"I know. The higher ups are defiantly firing him."
Scratch scratch
"Forget firing him. He's going to jail for a long time. Some other guys came forward expressing what he did to them."
"Sheesh. How deep of a hole can one man dig himself into."
"Actually, he should stay in that hole and we should bury him alive for all that he's done."
"Come on. Lets find him and drag him to jail ourselves."
"YEA."

End of Flashback
Takaoka began scratching his scars as he said "Now, every time I see someone looking at me sideways, every time I think about how you almost killed me with my own knife, my skin itches so badly I can't sleep through the night. I hope you're proud boys and girls, because you've condemned daddy to hell" yelled Takaoka as he kept scratching his scars, taking the class by surprise at his sudden outburst.
"Negative evaluations. Being chased around, gossip, you have no idea what its like. My future is gone" said Takaoka but then he stopped his scratches and then pointed at Eric saying "You specifically, Eric, must answer for the damage done to my reputation" while Eric's face hadn't changed as he kept glaring at him.
Chiba then understood the call from earlier as he said "I get it. He asked for the one who came up with the plan to kill the target. because he knew Eric would be one of the 4 to have done it."
Yoshida growled as he said "Eric had every right to do what he did to you, you monster" as he clenched his fist.
The class then saw Karma stepping froward as he said "Hmm I see. So, this is actually has more about you settling a score than anyone saving the world. Think about it, is beating up a kid repair your self esteem? I mean, you already did that to poor Eric and now you're wanting to do it again. You really can hold a grudge. But wouldn't someone my size be more interesting" said Karma smugly.
Terasaka then stepped up as he yelled "Listen you crazy son of bitch. Eric kicked your ass by your own rules so you have no one to blame but yourself. And here's the deal, even if you won, we'd still despise you. After hearing all the shit you put him through, we would've hated you even more. So much so that we'd probably kill you before we would with Korosensei. Nothing you could've done would've changed our....." but before he could even finish, the class began to hear a small laugh.
The class turned to the laugh and saw that it was Eric who was laughing. This made the class feel a little bit uncomfortable as they never thought he would be laughing after hearing the history he had with the man.
Eric kept laughing until he had stopped as he then looked out at Takaoka and just said,
"Now you know whats its like" which made the class flinch at his words.
"Now you know what its like to feel like everything you had now pulled out from under you because of one person. To feel like you have no future because of what someone did to you" said Eric in anger as he placed his fingers near his broken eye.
"This is what you get for ruining my life. For making the word "freak" become a permeant word for me. For whoever else you've hurt, this is karma biting you on the ass. You're getting payback for all the shit you made me go..."
"I don't remember asking for your opinion, bub. Love me or hate me maggot, I'm the guy that could take your friends out with a push of a button. So I suggest you keep your mouth shut. Or better yet, just bite your tongue off with those sharp teeth of yours"yelled Takaoka in anger at Eric's words, making the class flinch.
He then let go of his angry face and smirked as he said "You, freak show. Let's go to the heliport. Just you and me" as he turned around and walked up the steps.
Seeing this, Eric began to step forward and follow him but he was stopped by someone grabbing his arm. He turned to see it was Yada, with a fearful look on her face.
"Don't do it, Eric. You don't have to listen to him. We can go ask that Smog guy. He made the poison so we can get the antidote out of him. Please, don't do this" she said in a scared voice, almost on the brink of tears.
Eric looked at her scared expression but his didn't change. He then ripped his arm away from her as he said "I'm going, whether you guys say yes or no. This guy poisoned my friends and I've got to play along and get that bomb off the case. Whatever he wants me to do, I'll do it if it means getting the antidote. No matter how much I don't want to" said Eric as he began turning around.
"Get a move on! Pick up the pace!" yelled Takaoka from above the stairs.
The class grew more and more nervous as they saw Eric walking towards the stairs.
"Please be careful Eric" said Karasuma as the class began to sweat in worry at what was going to happen to him.
"I don't like where this is going" said Kayano in worry. Yada agreed as she knew what became of Eric the first time they met Takaoka. She hoped that his killer intent wouldn't resurface. She could only hope at this point.
000000000000000000000
Eric and Takaoka had managed to make it to the helipad as the rest fo the class began climbing up the steps to follow them. Takaoka was on the far part of the helipad as Eric soon made his way to the top. He then saw something gleaming to the side of him.
He saw that it was a long knife, laying right close to him. He stopped right in front of it and stared at it then back at Takaoka. He figured that he left it there, meaning that he was hoping for a fight.
The wind blew loudly as dust blew through the two as Eric still stared at him in anger but then turned his attention to the suitcase.
'All I had to do was play along and hopefully get him to give me the antidote. I may hate it, downright despise it, but this is for my friends. And I'd do anything for them. So I had to tough it out.'
He then saw Takaoka reach into his pocket and pull a remote, to which Karasuma though it was the one for the antidote, so he raised his gun and yelled "Don't even."
"Stay right where you are tough guy" yelled Takaoka, making him stay in one place not moving.
"Don't take this the wrong way but I don't trust you not to throw a monkey wrench into my reunion with my dear old friend, Eric" as he then pressed the button.
BOOM
A loud explosion happened, which made the class step back in shock, Eric as well, as the bridge that the two walked across to get to the helipad was now destroyed as it fell down below.
Eric was still in shock as he saw the bridge fell down. The class were still in shock as now they couldn't get to Eric. Yada was especially worried. If things were going to get ugly, she was going to run over and stop him from making a mistake. Now she couldn't.
Eric then turned his attention back to Eric as he threw the remote away as he said "There we go. Now its just you and me, kiddo. You understand where I'm going with this right. Revenge is an ugly word but if the shoe fits....."
"You got it wrong, Takaoka. I didn't come here to relive our fight. I'm just here to negotiate" said Eric as he clenched his fists at the man.
"Of course not. You don't have the element of surprise on your side this time. There's not a thing up your sleeve to keep me from killing you" said Takaoka smugly as he looked at Karasuma from afar.
"Thing is, it might be over too quick if I went at you full boar, right off the bat, but I don't now if that would be true. I remember that little trick you did the last time we met and I have to say, that was something I didn't expect from you. You really have changed from the little piss-ant from 8 or 9 years ago. But I want to make our re-reunion a memorable one so here's what I need from you" said Takaoka as he kept staring at Eric.
Eric was confused as he said "Huh? And what's that?" as the rest of the class wondered what he wanted him to do.
Takaoka kept his evil grin as he pointed down at the ground as he said "Get on your hands and knees and apologize" as he pulled out the detonator.
"Say you're sorry for pulling a cheap trick, admit you relied on the old bait and switch to cover your lack of skill. And say that my methods back then really opened you eyes and you saw that I was doing the right thing. That you didn't know any better" he said in demand.
Eric had his lips closed as he was secretly gritting his teeth in anger at his request.
'Me be sorry. I had nothing to be sorry for. And that his methods were right?! What a bunch of fucking bullshit. The only one that should be sorry was him. After all, he's been the biggest reason why my life became a nightmare. He broke my eye and I became an outsider because of him. With all the pain I had been through, all the name calling, the bullying and hits from bullies, I never thought I would find love and care from anyone else. I felt like.....
........I would never find friends in my life. But I finally found them in the Eds. They never discriminated me because of my looks. They became my real friends and he poisoned them. But he had the antidote so I had to go along with what he said so I could get the poison to them.'
Eric stopped his growling then sighed as he then got on his knees as he sat on them and said "I'm sorry."
Takaoka just stomped his boot in reply, very frustratingly, as he said "I don't believe you!" as he growled in anger at Eric.
"Kneel down lower, you little worm. I want to see your forehead to touch the ground like the sole of a boot" yelled Takaoka in a louder voice.
It took all of Eric's will not to jump at him and tackle him to the ground but he persevered as he looked at the antidote and remembered himself why he was doing this.
Eric then leaned forward as he put his hands on the ground as well as his forehead and said, regrettably, "I'm sorry for pulling a cheap trick on you. I just did it to cover up my lack of skill. I'm very sorry" as sincere as he possibly could.
The class's breathing started to stutter at his words. They knew that he would never say something like that, if they weren't in this situation. Especially after hearing what Takaoka did to him.
Takaoka chuckled as he said "Not bad. Now apologize for calling me a monster and telling me to hit the road. Good gracious, the audacity" said Takaoka in disgust as he placed his boot on Eric's head and stepped down hard, making Eric's head scrap against the concrete.
"All the trouble I went through for you and the kids and that's how you to talk to me. I'm entitled to respect for the sacrifices I've made for you" yelled Takaoka as he rubbed his boot on Eric's head, hurting him.
Eric poked his tongue on his teeth to stop his anger. Had he bitten his tongue, it would've come clean off. He sighed and the said "I was wrong for treating you that way. You deserve respect. I'm am truly and deeply sorry. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. I was wrong. I was just a kid. I didn't know any better."
Yada's stomach began to churn in disgust and anger. She knew he would never do this if their lives weren't in jeopardy. She hated Takaoka after hearing what he did to Eric and she knew that Eric was trying his best not to attack him and that it took all his will to do so. And now hearing that he planned to kill her just made her hate him more.
The class too stood in shock at the words he was saying. It was honestly painful to watch. They felt bad that Eric had to say those things.
Takaoka began to laugh as he took his boot off his head as he said "I am starting to believe you. Daddy feels much better. Was that so hard? You know what this needs to help sink the lesson in" as he reached down and grabbed the case.
"Pictures of the people who died from the virus I infected your buddies with. Smog let me borrow a few from his collection. The effects are amazing. Boils over every inch of their bodies, faces like a bunch of grapes, you'd get a laugh out of that wouldn't you, kid" said Takaoka as he then swung his arm around with the case in hand and threw it in the air.
In that split second, Eric gasped as he knew what he was doing. The class saw it took and gasped in shock that he would actually do it.
"PLEASE NO" yelled Eric as he then used his special attack and ran to try and catch the case as it flew away. The class gasped as they saw him running towards the case.
"ERIC WAIT" yelled Karasuma and Yada, as just as Eric ran off to get it, Takaoka hit the detonator and the explosives went off.
BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM
The case of antidotes with up in flames and smoke as Eric was suddenly flown back by the blast and slide across the floor. Everyone gasped as they saw their one hope to save their classmates and friends was now blown up.
Glass and liquid flew out of the explosion and landed around Eric as he had turned around and saw his only hope to save his friends die in the explosion.
Eric kept his shocked expression as the flames soon began to die as he then looked down at the ground and saw some of the liquid and glass around him. He then began to think on what this meant as tears fell from his eyes.
He failed in the mission.
He didn't get the antidote to save his friends and classmates.
His promise to make sure no one died today was now pointless as without the antidote, he couldn't save them now.
While this was going on, Takaoka began to laugh uncontrollably at Eric's reaction as he pointed at him saying "Yes that's the face I wanted to see. You know, you should make a scrap book of this vacation including pictures of your friends dying" screamed Takaoka in excitement as Eric then looked over to see Terasaka with a scared look on his face just as much as him.
"You can call it "Erics book of boiled over faces" yelled Takaoka as he went back to laughing.
Eric began to feel his heart beating faster and faster as his suddenly felt his anger began to boil. Just like it did when he remembered Takaoka after forgetting his face for 8 years. He then reached down and picked something up. It made a scraping sound as this made Takaoka stop his laughter and look at what the noise was in question.
It was Eric, picking up the knife that was on the ground.
This made the class gasp as they knew what he was about to do.
"I..." muttered Eric.
"Huh?" asked Takaoka.
In that split second, Eric faced him with his growling face, gnashed teeth, glowing glaring black eye. Smoke was seeping through his teeth as he growled at him.
"I know see I made a mistake. I should've killed you when I had the chance. I didn't and now my friends are paying the price for my mistake, so now.....
........."I'M GOING TO KILL YOU" said Eric in anger and rage.
Hearing this, Takaoka just licked his lips as he chuckled as he said "That's right, that's the way, sunny boy."
"Oh dear" muttered Korosensei.
Yada began to shake as she knew that killer look. He used it on the same man before them today.
Eric gritted his teeth and yelled again "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU AND, THIS TIME, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER COME BACK."
"Oh no. Eric."

{Playing Welcome Back by John Sebastian}
[Instrumentals] The opening fades into a scenery of Tokyo, Japan.
[Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out] The scene then cuts to the Eds and Eric walking on a sidewalk. Eddy in front of Ed, who was in front of Double D, with Eric behind him. They didn't seek to each, as they went to school.
[Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about] The next scene cuts to them in class with the other students as Korosensei teaches the class. The camera was positioned in the back of the room, so all you saw was their back and Korosensei teaching them.
[Well the names have all changed since you hung around] Korosensei's attention was caught by the bell and his speed out and back in with an arm full of sweets and candies, making the students sweat-drop anime style at him.
[But those dreams have remained and they've turned around] The next scene shows the Eds and Eric gathered around Double D's decks, with the smart Ed boy discussing a new plan from assassination, pointing to a piece of paper in his hand as he talked.
[Who'd have thought they'd lead ya (Who'd have thought they'd lead ya)] Eddy points to paper and asks a question. Double D answers him with a smile.
[Back here where we need ya (Back here where we need ya)] With Korosensei out of the room, Double D was at the front of the class, stating the next plan for another assassination, as the class watched and listen.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The scene then cuts to Ed, Eric, Isogai, Kimura, Maehara, and Chiba outside in front of the open window of the classroom that Korosensei used to exit when he wants to go to a far off place, putting up a large sheet of plastic to cover the open window frame.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] Double D, who was in the class as they worked, shows a description of the plan on the blackboard. Showing that when Korosensei came back, the sheet of paper would act as a trap to tangle him up, so they could jump him and kill him.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] The boys that were working outside came in through the classroom door, with Eric said they were done with a thumbs up. Everyone quickly sat down in their seats.
[Yeah we tease him a lot, welcome back, welcome back] Korosensei ripped through the sheet of plastic with his Mach 20 speed, and stood at the front of the class, shocking the students.
[Cause we got him on the spot, welcome back, welcome back] Korosensei then lectures them about their failed assassination attempt, as they all look down.
[Yeah we tease him a lot 'cause we got him on the spot] The camera cuts to a hand holding a small yellow notebook with the description of the assassination, and a number to indicate what attempt it was. It was crossed out by a red marker.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] It is shown to be Eric who was holding the notebook, with the Eds around him. They signed in disappointment, as the sunsets.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] They look at each other and shrugged with a small in an 'Oh well' manner. Eric then flipped over to the next page and put down the next number for the next assassination plan.
[Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back] The Eds and Eric are then seen walking back home before everything fades to black.
Next time: EDventure #25: "Misson: EDpossible part 4(Eric)"
