- Summary: <Eikichi begins to rebuild the new Gas Chamber.>
There evening is still somewhat hot from the day. The air is loud with the sounds of cicadas crying out as Eikichi steps in front of the steps to a rather unkept set of stairs. He examines the stairs and notices signs someone still uses them, noting crushed weeds and the occasional foot print in some dirt. With a sigh, the delinquent begins to ascend the stairs just as a distant rumbling starts from further up the incline. The Cicadas continue to whine but that distant rumbling is still heard.
Eikichi checks the note in his pocket. This is where Ken said the guy was...Evenings out by the abandoned shrine outside of town. Kind of weird if you ask Eikichi but he's admittedly seen weirder. He climbs up the stairs, hearing the rumble start to sound more distinctive.
When he started Gas Chamber, Eikichi could only see his friends with him. They had been there when Kasugayama's culture wasn't under his control. They had even put in the muscle with him to take it over. So why couldn't it be them?
Eikichi sighs, listening to the rumbling becoming a melody that blends in with the surroundings. It was like Eikichi was in immersive concert and that was pretty cool.
Eikichi passes near a collapsed Tori gate, frowning as the state of this place was not getting any better. What were the chances a step would give away and he'd break his neck?
Gas Chamber. According to his friends, this was Eikichi's dream and one they couldn't be a part of. They'd just cheer him on.
It wasn't registering with Eikichi entirely yet. Could he really do this by himself? Without his guys on stage with him?
The melody is now clearly a solo guitar...Electric? How do they get power out here? Eikichi stops in his tracks, listening to skill of this musician. Fast but not a dropped note. It was splendid. The delinquent starts walking away, faster now. More confident.
Finally, Eikichi arrives at the threshold of the abandoned shrine. The music now completely covers the Cicada's crying down below. It wasn't large but it had seen better days. In front of the main temple, there was a single boy, dressed in black jump suit with large shoulder pads and a large striped wig styled into a mohawk. He wore makeup similar to Eikichi, prompting the Death Boss to grin. It was the look that Eikichi wish he had the guts to pull off. It would piss off his dad SO much. The boy continued to play guitar on his battery powered Amp, speeding up his melody. It was a powerful sound that shook the temple.
"You must be Mishina. Your friend said you'd be coming about an opportunity." The boy looks up, finally stopping his playing.
Eikichi grins, "I can already tell you're perfect for what I got in mind but let me hear more of that." He thinks about his guys and nods. He whispers to himself. "Thanks guys. I'm gonna make Gas Chamber something."
