Chapter 3:
Soul Reactor
“are you alright? Are you fine my dear hikari?” fuji
“yes father, im fine now. In fact, I feel much better compared to before!” hikari
“really? Thats great!” fuji
“uhh.. guys, hate to interrupt, but am I done here?” josh said in english
“y-yes, yes mr josh! My daughter hikari is now fine!” fuji said as he couldn’t control his tears of joy as he hugs her
“father, your chocking me.” hikari said so that her father will let go
“thats good. Anyways, want a burger kid?” josh said as he offers his burger to hikari
As hikari agrees, josh delivers the burger to hikari and which she ate it.
“the burger taste great father! I have never tasted something so delicious before!” hikari said after biting the burger
“i see, I see.” fuji said as he is about to cry again
As hikari ate, her doctor suddenly appeared and with shock to the scene that hikari was awake and eating a burger.
“mr fuji, why is your daughter eating a burger? We still need to run some tests on her!” the doctor said as she rushed towards hikari
“well, you may test her if you want. By the time your done, you would be surprised that her sickness is gone.” josh said on his seat while eating fries
Hikari was still eating her burger while the doctor was now facing josh
“and who might you be?” the doctor said to josh
“im josh mavric, and you are?”
“im doctor Trina tubod. Let me ask on how are you related to this girl and her father?”
“im just their helper, thats all.” josh
“oh.. don’t be so modest mr josh, I know that you have just saved my daughters life, which I couldn’t thank you enough for it.” fuji
“really? What did you do? Are you a quack doctor by any chance?” Trina
“nope. Im not a doctor or anything, im just a psychic passing by.” josh
“a psychic? Get real.” Trina
“its true! You should do as he suggest miss Trina.” fuji
“yes I should.” Trina said as the burger was no more. “anyways, let me take your blood sample again.”
“father, will that hurt me?” hikari
”probably. But it will be temporary.” fuji said, comforting her
“well, if your done, I would now like to check into a hotel. Its now late in the afternoon and there are no flights back for now.” josh said as he grabs his bag
“wait! C-can you wait until the tests are over and she can go home with me? I want to make sure.” fuji said rushing over to josh
“you said it will just be one night.” josh
“yes, the results will be available by tomorrow, don’t worry about it.” Trina said as she was getting some blood samples from hikari
“see? It wont take long.” fuji
“alright then, good thing I packed for at least 3 nights.” josh said to himself
“anyways, let me guide you to your hotel room where you will be staying for the night.” fuji
”father, I need you!” hikari said as Trina was done getting blood samples
“oh, no need to fret hikari, I will get back to you soon!” fuji said as they exit the room
"Are you sure hikari will be alright in her room?" Josh said as they are now sitting at the lobby
"Yes, she will be just fine, dont worry. Anyways, i have a proposal for you josh." Fuji
"What is it?"
"Once hikari will be out of the hospital, can you also look at my wife?" Fuji
"You said i would just be here for 1 day."
"Yes, but since you actually cured hikari, i thought that maybe you could also do it for my wife."
"I see." Josh said while thinking
"Whats your price?"
"Huh?"
"What do you need so that you will also heal my wife if you can?"
"Well, that will be up to you on what or how much you will give me, but i will do it if i can."
"Thats per-- i mean, thats good. Cause i dont have that much money on me lately and my family is always meeting unfortunate things one after another. My money always cover hospital bills and my company is now almost bankrupt. If you can really cure my wife, who is suffering from coma, i couldnt ask for more."
"Oh, i see, a coma it is then. Actually, i have a remedy for that--"
"Really?!" Fuji said with a glimer of hope
"But this will be a very ancient practice, and the chances are 50/50, if done properly by professional hands."
"Its a fifty percent chance huh, i will take it. Better than nothing at all."
"But i have to warn you, the chances of survival for this would also be fifty percent."
"What?! It will also inflict damage to my wife--"
"No, not damage. Since this technique will involve the heart and the chi of the person."
"Seriously?"
"Yes, seriously. Its not that dangerous under the hands of professionals, but if not, it will have a fifty percent chance of survival. And i will have you know that this will be the first time i will do this kind of practice."
"I see. Let me think about it for a moment, alright?"
As josh was about to agree, Trina was running down the hall in search of them.
"Finally found you! Josh mavric!" Trina shouted at the lobby
"What is it?" Fuji
"Just what did you do to hikari?" Trina said after bumping her palm into the chair
"I just cured her, right fuji?" Josh
"Yes, she said she even feels good now." Fuji
"The viruses are now eating each other! And that isnt normal at all! Why is that?!" Trina
"I just reprogrammed the viruses to eat each other, thats all." Josh said with a smile
"Unvelievable. Are you a geneticist? I mean, you just--" Trina said not believing at all
"Nope, im just an ordinary guy." Josh
"So your a quack! What kind of chemicals and combinations--" Trina
"Like i said, im just an ordinary guy."
As the conversation was also heard all over the lobby, a nurse came to warn them.
"Please be quiet."
"Sorry about that, but it just doesnt make sense!" Trina
"Your still being loud doctor. And besides, your in the presence of josh mavric, the hero. He saved a whole plane of passengers and saved the president the effort of finding drug lords in this country." The nurse said before handing a paper to josh. "Can i have your sign?"
"Sure." Josh said as he signed the paper
Trina just couldnt believe what she heard that she bumped her palm on the chair again.
"If your a hero, could you also cure everyone?!" Trina said, surprising josh
"No, i cant. I can only heal wounds and order organisms, thats all. As for camcer and other diseases, there is just nothing i can do about it." Josh said as he returns the paper
"But he has knowledge on how to bring back coma patients." Fuji
"Hey, what are you doing? I already told you that the technique is very delicate!" Josh
"Can you tell me more?" Trina said almost immediately
"Hahh.. i know of an ancient technique in reviving somewhat dead people. But i will have you know that this technique has a fifty percent chance of both survival and reviving." Josh
"I see." Trina said as she is thinking
As the nurse with the paper goes, others gather almost immediately.
"Alright then, i have decided!" Trina said before grabbing josh and dragging him towards the coma room. "Please do demonstrate, oh great hero."
"You do know that--"
"Yes, the responsibility is mine."
"What are we doing here?" Fuji said after catching up to them
"Seriously fuji." Josh said as he facepalms
"Im serious. I just need to know if you know what your doing." Fuji
"Hahh.. fine. But dont ever regret this." Josh said as Trina and fuji gulped at the thought
With that said, josh then chooses someone out of the coma patients, and chooses a man in his twenties.
"Whats the story of this man?" Josh
"He is in a coma after going through a heart seizure. His vitals are now ok but he mysteriously went to a state of coma." Trina
"Alright, let me do the procedure then." Josh said as he positions himself beside the patient
After josh was in position, he first gathers his chi from both his fists, before transferring chi from left to right fist, all before he slams his right fight towards the chest of the patient, thus forcing his chi to activate. And with 2 of those slams, the patient suddenly gasped for air and suddenly wakes up. Where he also used "chi control" which lets one control chi of one person.
"Wha-- where am i?" The patient said
"You are in a hospital right now, and you were in a coma before." Josh said as he bows like in after every martial arts tournament
Trina and fuji was in a state of puzzlement as they just couldnt believe what just happened.
"If thats true, for how long was i out?"
"Hey, doctor." Josh said to Trina who was just staring in amazement
"Oh, sorry. It says here in your papers that you have been out for 5 years already. Anyways, do you feel something in your wake? Anything at all?" Trina
"I just feel like i need more sleep for now, i feel a bit dizzy." The patient said as he lied down again
"Its maybe an after effect of forcing you to wake up." Josh said with a gesture
"Josh mavric." Trina said as she walked towards josh and kissed him. "Your a genius!"
"Like i said, the chances for any coma patient to revive with this technique is fifty percent, so i wouldnt recommend this as a practice for doctors." Josh said as Trina calls for nurses
"Whats that technique called?" Fuji said, now with a glimmer of hope
"Its called the chi blow. Why?" Josh
"Wait, i have heard about this before. They said that the move will either take a life or not during battle, according to chinese martial artists, is that true?" Fuji
"Yes, thats the one." Josh said with a smile
"Can you also do the others as well?" Trina said with shining eyes
"Like i said, the chances are slim, so i wouldnt recommend it at all to just anybody." Josh said as he sandwiched his hands to her face
"Hahh.. fine, i will take that chance josh. Please accompany me and my daughter to japan." Fuji said with a japanese dogeza
"Whoa.. you really want this fuji?" Josh said letting go of Trina
"Yes, i just cant let my daughter go without a mother for too long. Also, i cant support her hospital bills when my company is now going bankrupt." Fuji
"Alright then, since you have asked for it, i shall provide it." Josh said as he kneeled to touch fujis shoulder.
"Thank you." Fuji said as he stands
"So, can i go now to my hotel room?" Josh said to fuji
"Ah, yes. Let me take you to one before i will go back to hikari." Fuji said pointing to the exit
As fuji agrees, he then takes josh to the hotel where he is staying and booked a room for him as well.
"And so, thats what happened earlier, so i think i might be late in coming home mom." Josh
Josh was now in his room where he is talking to his mom on the phone.
"I see. Im even surprised you know something like that josh, you werent taught about that you know." Eva
"Yes, since the souls of ancients taught me about it, tho i also kind of seen it somewhere on TV in the past. Anyways, im might be going to japan soon, so you can expect some souvenirs while im there."
"Thats alright and all, but please just be safe alright?"
"Yes mom, i will."
*doorbell rings*
"Mom, thats all for now it seems. I have a guest."
"Oh, you have a guest? Thats rare, i hope its a girl."
"Mom, now your a bit embarassing." Josh said as he opens the door to find Trina still in her work clothes. "Mom, gotta go now. Bye."
"Were you busy?" Trina said as josh cuts the line
"Just talking with mom. Whats up?" Josh said as Trina catches her breath
"Can i get in?"
"Sure. And how did you know where my room is?" Josh said as they enter the room
"I asked mr fuji about it." She said while being embarrassed
"I see. So, what brings you here?" Josh said with a smile as he sat on the bed
"Umm.. can i borrow your shower?"
"Why?"
"Its natural procedure against any viruses and bacteria." She said with shyly
"I see. Sure, go ahead."
Trina then goes to the shower, where josh just lied on the bed and read manga.
"Hey josh, do you have a cure with you?" Trina said after she finished her shower, wearing just only a towel
"Depends on the sickness, why?" Josh said as Trina approaches him
"Cause im sick somehow. Whats this feeling that im feeling right now?" She said as she gets his phone and puts it on the table
"Umm.. maybe its one of my abilities, "attraction"." Josh said while sweating, since he knows where this is heading
Josh was still in his casual clothes, while Trina just got the towel off of her and threw it on the bed.
"Please cure me too." Trina said as josh gulped while wide eyed. "Its my first time, please be gentle." She said while smiling
The next day, hikari was discharged from the hospital, which means that they will now go to japan as stated.
"By for now josh, have fun." Trina said while smiling
They were all now at the airport where Trina also came to say her goodbyes.
"Yes, until we meet again Trina." Josh said smiling
"I will have you know that i dont ever regret what we have done that night." Latrina said blushing while they all smile
"Father, what did they say?" Hikari said as she listens to them
"You dont have to understand them yet hikari, but someday you will." Fuji
"Anyways, you should care for yourself now hikari. Even if you dont understand me now, im glad that we met." Trina said as she kneels down to talk to hikari
"Well, we should go now, its already time." Fuji
"Josh, even until now, im still having doubts as to what really happened to you that you have acquired such vast amounts of power." Trina
"It maybe vast, but it also has limits. Which is why i work hard for everything to work out." Josh
"Ok then. Hope i will see you again someday josh, its really fate that brought us together like this." Trina said with a smile
With that, they were now on their flight and on their way to japan. Once they arrived to japan, they immediately go towards the hospital where the patient is waiting.
"So this is the patient, she still looks a bit young." Josh said when they got inside the room
They were now on a private room of fujis wife
"Yes, she only looks young but shes really older than me, im now 35 and shes 37." Fuji
"I see." Josh said as they put their bags at the side
And there, hikari goes towards her mother and speaking japanese, pointing to josh and saying that hes going to save her.
"Ah, yes. Sakura, i brought you someone who might be able to help you." Fuji said as he walks towards his wifes side
Without any answer at all from his wife, he just holds back his tears as hikari goes to her father.
"Father, what will he do now?" Hikari speaking japanese
"Hes going to wake mother up, would you like to see?" Fuji said as he picks her up
"Is mother going to wake up? Really?" Hikari
"Yes." Fuji said before he looks at josh, who was now at the side of the patient. "If you would please josh."
"Are you sure she will be fine watching the entire procedure?" Josh
"Yes." Fuji
"Alright then, i will now begin the procedure. I just hope your wifes luck is good." Josh said before he moved the patient from the center of the bed to his side.
Like what was done at the manila hospital, he also did to fujis wife. First chi blow, no response. Second one, no response either. The chi blows increased until it came to the ninth blow, where there was still no response. And each blow would have the heart meter spike for just a second, where it almost sounded an alarm.
"This will be the last chi blow that i will deliver, after that im done. Woukd you still like to continue?" Josh said as he was now sweating
As fuji sees the heart meter, it was now steady, as if her heart is almost racing.
"Please do it." Fuji resolves himself
"Father, what is all this hitting going to do with mother?" Hikari
"Just watch my dear, and hope your mom will come back." Fuji said before signaling to josh
As josh agrees, he then gave his all into that one final chi blow, with a lot of chi in it, and then later brought her back from coma with her heart racing and her gasping for air as she screams.
"Whoa there! Your safe now!" Josh said as he grabs her arms, not avoiding for him to be scratched by her
"Josh!" Fuji said as he put hikari down in order to run towards josh and help him
"Excuse me for this." Josh said as he slaps her, making her come back to her senses
"Ah, so very sorry for this." Sakura said in japanese as she got back to her senses
"Josh, it seems like you might have deep wounds there.," fuji
"No worries about that, i have got "regeneration" with me." Josh said as his wounds slowly healed itself
Both of them, surprised, couldnt say a word.
"Whats going on here?! What is the patient doing?!" The doctor said as he got inside
"Josh, kindly explain to sakura whats happening, i will handle the doctor." Fuji said while walking towards the doctor and getting hikari as well, who was very confused at the events
"Misis sakura, you have been in a coma for maybe 5 or 6 years now." Josh saying straightly
"What happened, last i remembered, i was in a place filled with fire and lots of screams." Sakura said while sitting properly on her bed
"Wait, what?!" Josh said before a gust of wind came from sakura
While josh and the others were surprised by the sudden gust of wind, sakura was lifted herself into the air as if being possessed by some entity.
"Josh mavric, as i have thought." The entity spoke once she opened her eyes
"Josh, what is happening to my wife?" Fuji
"Shes been possessed!" Josh
"By what?!" Fuji
"Leave this to me, i will bring her back!" Josh
"How cute, josh mavric. You think you can bring back this woman, you have another thing coming!" The entity said with a laugh
As the gust of wind stopped, the entity just sits down on the bed.
"I didnt plan to bring her back from hell you know!" Josh said as he now stands up
"Yes, you didnt, but you did plan to bring her back anyways, and i camt have that." The entity said with a smile
"Anyways, what should i call you? Clearly, i see a dark soul possessing sakura right now."
"You can call me, like all humans do, beelzebub. Or beel in short." The entity said
With that event, the nurses and doctors just hides behind the door.
"I see. With a high level demon like you coming here, what woukd be your business?" Josh
"Lets make a deal, give me one of your souls for this woman here."
"No, i wont. And why is this woman important to you anyways?"
"Oh, you dont remember right? They way how you fought all of us devils with just your imagination, we all hate you. Which is why this is just a way for us devils to get back at you."
"Tch!"
"What if i said there is a soul thats more corrupt than her?" Fuji
"What?!" Josh aid as he looks at fuji
When josh looked at fuji, beel suddenly went for the kill, but was stopped when josh also counters by grabbing beels neck
"Agh! Curse you josh mavric!" Beel said as josh himself is burning beels neck
"Josh! Whats happening?!" Fuji
"Im using my exorcism powers on her. Though beelzebub may return, what do you have planned?" Josh
As fuji saw the situation, he finally resolved himself and understood what to do.
"Beelzebub! I wish to sacrifice the soul of matchiko warui for her soul!" Fuji shouted at the entity
"Oh? Im listening." Beel said after hearing such a proposal, behaving herself back at the bed
"In fact, josh will give you her soul." Fuji said as hikari was also hiding behind his back
"Will he? When he doesnt know?" Beel
"Depends on the story. Anyways, i will see for myself." Josh
"Hmm.. josh is always a man of his word.. alright then, i will wait for that new soul to torture, for 2 nights. If i cant have that soul, i will be taking her soul back. Shes not done with me yet anyways." Beel
"Yes! You can bet on it!" Fuji
"Fuji, its always not nice to make deals with the devil, or else you will be sent to hell after death instead of heaven." Josh
"Im glad you know josh, or is it the ancient souls that taught you that. Nevertheless, i will be back. Savor the time you will have with her." Beel said before disappearing
As sakura opens her eyes again, she was herself now.
"Sakura, is that you now?" Fuji said as he slowly approached
"Yes dear, its me." Sakura
Without any hesitation, fuji ran to hug sakura, leaving hikari behind josh.
"Hey fuji, you better explain your story, or else i wont help you. A deal has been made, you have also got to be careful not to anger devils." Josh
"Yes i know. And i will now tell you my story. Me and my wife have been a good family, and we have basically no enemies that we can think of. But one day, as my wife is also part of a branch family with ties with the yakuza, the daughter of the main branch became jealous of our family and plotted a scheme against us. Thus forcing my wife to drink poison and the way you see her now."
"So your part of the yakuza?" Josh
"No, were just a branch family. So we got no contacts whatsoever with the main branch and lived a happy life, along with my daughter and my company. My company is also in debt because of that wrench." Fuji
"Hikari, there is nothing to be afraid for now. Im here now." Sakura said speaking in japanese
"Are you really mother?" Hikari said as slowly gets out of josh back
"Yes, i am." Sakura said before hikari walks towards her
"In any case, you must help me know where i can find her, who is she again?" Josh said turning from smile to serious
"Her name is hatchiko warui, of the warui family. Her father and only family member is masayoshi warui, head of the yakuza in this region. It wont be easy taking him on." Fuji
"Well, leave everything to me." Josh said with a smile
After that, the doctors examined sakura in every way possible and found absolutely nothing wrong with her body and mind. Then after all that, fuji took josh towards just outside the warui mansion.
"Got it? You will become the getaway driver just in case." Josh
Fuji was now driving a car which he borrowed again. It was also almost midnight when they were at the front gates.
"Yes, the plan is clear." Fuji
"Alright then, here we go." Josh said as he walked towards the front gate
As josh stood at the front gate, with his death mask, he activated "organic time" around a certain radius. With organic time, he was able to control the body clock of any organism. When he activated it, he then got through the gate using his herculean strength. He then walked towards a motorcycle at the side and rode it towards the mansion at the far top. With his organic time again, he was able to stop the time of everyone at the mansion, in which he silently got to chikos room, all before he disabled the organic time. As he silently got towards chiko with the help of the souls, he saw a cute girl, maybe at the age of 16 or so. So instead of killing her, he thought of another plan.
“wake up.” josh said as he used organic control
“what time is it?” she said in japanese before he notices a man beside her. “who are you?!” she said being surprised.
She was in her night gown when she slept, where she is now dragging herself to the side of the king sized bed.
“i was suppose to be your worst nightmare, but I changed my mind on the second thought.” josh said before he appeared again on the other side, wearing his mask, and speaking in english
“if you’re an assassin just go ahead and kill me, my daddy will find you and kill you.” she said as she drags herself at the other side again
“oh? So you have faith in your own daddy eh? What a brat you have become, even if you have such a sinful body to have.” josh said as he took of his mask
“oh? Are you fine revealing your face to me?” she said as she stopped at the center
“yes, im fine with it. Though I have to ask you, how does it feel to be the queen of your own world? Got a nice place, got cash and everything.” josh said as he climbs the bed
“well, its fun and all--”
“and how does it feel to bring an innocent family to hell?” josh said as he positions himself besides her
“what do you mean?”
“dont play with me, you played with the yamamoto family anyways.”
“yeah, they are a good family indeed, worthy of my wrath.” she said while laughing a bit
“well, I do agree with you. Being good is overrated, while being bad is sexy.” josh said as he got on top of chiko
“wh-what are you doing? I-I don’t understand all thats happening?”
“you don’t need to understand everything, you just need to feel it.” josh said before he kissed her
After 30 minutes of quality time with her, messing with her purity and her time.
“do you know that I have a fiance?” chiko said smiling to josh as they lie on the bed naked
“no, and I don’t care.”
“do you know that I will still tell my daddy about you?”
“yes, I know. Which is why im here for the mission.” josh said as he got on top of her again
“what mission?”
“to let you experience what she has experienced.”
“whos she?”
“sakura yamamoto, the wife of the family which you have messed with.” josh said before he kissed her again
This time, he activated “soul control”, which lets one control any soul they wish. With this ability, josh got her soul out of her own body while her body is still alive.
“wh-what did you do to me?!” chiko said as her soul floated
“well, im sending you to hell, thats what. Have fun there.” josh said with a wink
“what do you--” she said before she felt an arm dragging her downwards
“you know, your such a bad guy as well, and I like that.” a voice vibrates throughout the room
“oh, so you have been watching. Oh well, do take good care of her over there.”
“i will.” beel said with her evil laugh
“now then, time to take care of this body of hers.” josh said before he sprays the tea from the pitcher at the side of her bed and the water that hes been carrying, rinsing and properly washing her body with the water.
After he sprinkles chikos body with water and tea, and sprinkles water at the bed as well, he exits the whole mansion the same way he enters it.
“hey, your late! I got really tired waiting for you here!” fuji said at the car
“sorry, got a bit preoccupied.” josh said as he enters the car
“preoccupied? Just what the heck did you really do there anyways?”
“letting her experience the best of hell that she will experience in her own life. Anyways, let go now before they will spot us.”
“right.” fuji became suspicious
”trust me on this, its better this way for all of us.” josh said before they drove off back to the city
The next day, josh is now at the airport for his return ride back to the philippines.
“josh mavric, I cant thank you enough.” fuji
“mister, thank you.” hikari said as they all were now with smiling faces
“thank you as well, for settling matters.” sakura said as they shook hands
“its a little token of my gratitude, but I think that you should have it.” he handed a wooden sword along with license to wield it
“wow! You shouldnt have. Im very grateful for the gift. But would this be alright?” josh
“you now have a license to wield it, so you take care of it.” fuji
“alright then, thanks. This might help me with some of my efforts.” josh
“hey josh, we are seriously curious. What did you really do to her out there?” fuji said quietly as sakura was listening
“oh, come on. Weve been through this. Things are better this way right?” josh
“we will also carry some of the responsibility with us josh, I mean, let us carry it as well.” sakura
“hahh.. alright then, but listen well.” josh said before sakura closed hikaris ears
Josh then told them what he had done to her during that night.
“no wonder you were late with the plan, you really got preoccupied.” fuji said like a happy friend
“yes, I didn’t even think it would lead to that. Are you sure we will be alright?”sakura
“yes, im sure.” josh replied to sakura before looking at fuji. “Though I really couldn’t help it, sorry about that.”
“no worries, all is well anyways. Though tossing gasoline to the bike was a little bit over the top.” fuji
“i had no choice, it was either pee or gasoline.” josh
“haha! Im glad you are my friend!” fuji
“do take care from now on sakura, and man him happy, since he will eventually go to hell once he dies.” josh
“way to ruin the mood.” fuji said with a facepalm
“yeah, im just reminding her of how heavy the price that you have to pay for her.” josh
“yes, I know. I will take care of my family with all that I have.” sakura said as she cries
Fuji then goes to sakura to comfort her.
“well, gotta go now. My flight is already here.” josh said as he rushed towards the boarding gates
With josh now rushing towards the boarding gates, and also waving goodbye towards the yamamoto family, he then flies back to the philippines.
*ring*
“hello, this is josh speaking.”
Josh was now at manila airport when the call was made
“josh, this is mom! Its bad!”
“what is it?”
“your sister has been kidnapped!”
