Mao's wrath

Mao and Ruchi Ookuma immediately began brawling.

"Did you think I never accounted for a betrayal!? Well I always did since the day you were born! But I'm so glad it happened now. Now I can use your death to solidify my rule!" Ookuma dementedly screeched as she punched Mao in the face.

"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! I'LL KILL YOU!" Mao screamed as she slugged Ookuma in the gut.

"Are you trying to surpass me? How greedy, but you are spoiled. I should have microchiped you years ago, but I thought you had begun to submit to you fate. I would have allowed you to live at my side and become President of the House of Councilors should you have obediently behaved."

"I DON'T WANNA HURT THE WORLD!"

"It is the will of Illumous-"

"FUCK ILLUMOUS! I'LL KILL EM ALL TOO!"

"So, this is a betrayal then. Did I not tell you that those who betray Illumous are to be subjected to the most inhumane executions imaginable?"

Mao stopped for a moment giving Ookuma an opening to kick her in the left rib cage. Had Mao not been secretly training to build up her strength for 10 years, that blow would have downed her and led to her death. Ookuma expected this too. However, she had made a grave oversight 10 years ago that led to Mao using her training to  tank the attack and deliver a lightning fast roundhouse kicking her in the neck sending her to the ground in pain. The initial blows Ookuma had received at the start began to ache and immobilized her in pain as Mao pinned her down and began beating her to death with all her strength.

10 years ago...

"Why can't I eat some takoyaki?" a young Mao cried.

*Smack*

"Because I said so. I want you to be obedient," Ookuma sneered as she held a wooden ruler in her hand.

"When I'm bigger-"

"If you so disobey me, I WILL microchip you."

As Mao began to tear up, the TV  broadcast was hacked by Fubuki Dakoto.

"Everyone! My name is Fubuki Dakoto, I am a journalist. I am sending out this live broadcast because I have discovered some of the crimes of Representative Ruchi Ookuma," Fubuki stated.

Mao stared at her mother's annoyed scowl as Fubuki Dakota hijacked a live broadcast begun to list off Ookuma's crimes.

"In this video, you can clearly see Ruchi Ookuma watching as her husband is killed. These goons doing the dirty work are with Illumous which the Ookumas are also members of," Fubuki stated.

"So some ass recorded the execution. Well I have countermeasures for that," Ookuma happily cringed.

Mao had never seen her mother lose her composure quite like this, for she had long believed this monster was invincible. However, despite her losing her composure, Ookuma didn't seem truly worried in the slightest.

"Next, just a few short days ago, I received footage of Ruchi Ookuma murdering someone in the woods," Fubuki stated as a video of Ookuma slicing Mimi played.

"Oh, and you think THAT can bring me down!? Well I'll just say it's a wax replica made by some detractor. She couldn't even capture my fast movements. That, and the girl is dead and I can easily deal with the Korosekai brat," Ookuma cackled.

Suddenly, she received a phone call.

"And what do you want?" Ookuma asked.

"You could be a little kinder to an Illumous councilman," the man on the line grumbled.

"I'll be council president eventually."

"Not if you get exposed."

"By Kabuki!? Have you FINALLY gone senile you old fossil!?"

"It's the girl you slashed! She was cryogenicly frozen again! Worse, the Ginkawas paid for it and we no longer control the lab! I was able to get those three fellows out, but I can't do jack against the Ginkawas! If they move her to the mansion and revive her, you're screwed! If we try and off her before then, who knows what the Ginkawas would do!"

Ookuma immediately went pale and seethed with fear and fury at the TV. For the first time, she was truly afraid.

"No no no NO NO NO NO! Damn you Kabuki! I won't let this ruin my plan!" Ookuma thought as she began frantically dialing her minions.

She was so preoccupied with rectifying that mistake, that she failed to notice Mao. 

"Fubuki, terrified her. She's not invincible! There is a chance for me to escape, but I'll be gambling my sanity for who knows how long. But all I need to do is get bigger and stronger and wait for the ideal opportunity," Mao thought.

Mao had begun to see hope. Fubuki had successfully proven to her that her mother could be beaten and that she could escape this hell. Mao then resolved that she would act as her mother's ideal daughter for as long as needed until she'd drop her guard and give her the opportunity to attack. She intentionally made her change in attitude seem natural. And as time went on, Ookuma  began to drop the threat of microchipping and rarely drew the wooden ruler. Once Mao began to mature, the ruler was burnt and Ookuma began to treat her more like she would her sycophants.  Mao was even able to convince her mother to let her watch Fubuki's videos, provided she do so to "know thy enemy" instead of to absorb the content. It was through Fubuki that Mao learned just how horrible Illumous truly was, and she resolved to destroy them next after her mother was dead. Now, the ten years of suffering and  gambling her sanity were about to come to an end.

As Mao beat Ookuma to death, a recap of Ookuma's courage speech from earlier played.

"Be COURAGEOUS and refuse to give into degeneracy!"

*Splat*

The pool of Ookuma's blood began to get bigger.

"BE COURAGEOUS, and boldly take a stand for what is right!"

*Splat*

"BE COURAGEOUS, and fight back against violence and injustice!"

*Splat*

Ookuma glared with fury through her bruises as Mao punched out the last of her teeth. She angrily mustered her strength to try and bite of Mao's hand with her gums as she chocked on her teeth.

"BE COURAGEOUS, and scoff at the petty scorn and insults the vile and DESPERATE opposition will hurl at you."

Mao simply countered by shattering her mother's jaw with her other hand, instantly releasing her trapped hand.

"No, NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! HOW COULD SHE HAVE GROWN STRONGER THAN ME!? I MADE SURE TO MEDIATE HER EXERCISE SO SHE'D ALWAYS BE WEAKER THAN ME! NO! I'M GOING TO BECOME PRIME MINISTER! I'M GOING TO BECOME HEAD OF ILLUMOUS! I'M GOING TO RULE THE WORLD! WHAT HAPPENED!?" Ookuma frantically thought as she moaned in pain, and terror and gazed up at a wrathful Mao pulling back her fist for the finishing blow.

"BE COURAGEOUS, and hold your head high with pride knowing that you chose to be courageous and walk the path courageousness."

*SPLAT*

Ookuma's eyes twitched rapidly as her body began to go limp and her brain guts began to leak out of her thick skull onto the floor. Mao then hurled the TV remote at the TV shattering it. She then dragged Ookuma's barely living body to the kitchen and grabbed a sharp knife and began hacking at Ookuma's neck. Ookuma meekly moaned in pain as tears began to pour out of her eyes as her head was crudely severed. Even then, Ookuma still barely clung to life.

"No, how could you!? I was going to become Queen of the world," Ookuma meekly thought as Mao grabbed some things from the cupboard before dragging her head and body into the bathtub.

Ookuma's eye twitched as Mao drenched her head and body in cooking oil before lighting a match. A meek, but somewhat loud scream escaped Ookuma's shattered jaw as she was incinerated to death in a sea of fire. Ruchi Ookuma was finally dead. Mao however didn't celebrate until barely any ashes remained of Ruchi. Then, she let out a victory scream, before heading back to the kitchen to grab a knife.

"I've gotta get out of here, but I can't just run out covered in sludge. _!"

A wave of panic suddenly overtook Mao as she realized Illumous would now be hunting her down. She frantically ran back into the bathroom, stripped, and hopped in the shower. She then began shaving all the sludge colored hair off her head and body until she was completely devoid of hair. Cuts and scrapes littered her now porcelain smooth skin as tears began to pour out of her eyes as she gazed at herself in the mirror.

"Not a trace of sludge anywhere on me. Finally! I'm sludge free! _! Shit, I better rip my eyelashes out too. I can't risk being identified!" Mao thought.

Once she was done, she ran to the living room and reached for some money on the table, but stopped.

"Mao, every bill can be identified with a serial number," Ruchi's voice echoed in her mind.

Mao fearfully retreated and begun spreading flammable liquids all throughout the house. She refused to wear any clothes, both out of hatred that her mother picked them and fear that they could identify who she was. She did however, smash open Ruchi's safe and grab all the incriminating SD cards Ruchi had in it.

"That bitch kept these for a reason. Pretty sure it was to ensure none of her stooges would turn on her. I can't let these burn. Just hope there's nothing about me on them," Mao thought as she shoved the SD cards in a case which she placed securely into her breasts.

 She then lit a match and set the house ablaze before leaping out a window and charging into the forest.

"SHIT SHIT SHIT! WHY'D I TAKE THESE SD CARDS WITH ME!? I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S ON EM! AND IF SOMEONE CATCHES ME WITH EM... I GOTTA RUN!" Mao frantically thought as her legs carried her into the woods.

There, exhaustion finally began to kick in. Mao frantically began burying herself with dirt in an attempt to hide.

                                                                            ...

Reika drove stealthily through the night as she headed for Ookuma's house.

"Ookuma's definately behind these recent scandals. I know it's risky to approach her place, but If I can catch her now, her electoral-_!?"

Reika's eyes widened as she stared at the burning house in front of her.

"Ookuma's place!? I don't see anyone around, is this a trap?" Reika thought as she drove up and examined the place.

"It's a complete hellfire. _!"

Reika then noticed a set of footprints and some broken glass.

"Could it be?"

She then hopped in her car and followed the footprints.

                                                                               ...

Mao began to lose consciousness as her stomach growled.

"No, I haven't even eaten anything good. I just escaped," she groaned as she lost consciousness.

Shortly after, Reika uncovered her and stared in disbelief.

"Still alive, looks to be a woman younger than Ookuma- _!"

Reika immediately picked up Mao and brought her to her car.

"I hope this isn't a trap, but if it isn't, this might truly be the end of Ookuma!" Reika thought as she sped away.
