Before Rick had the chance to further examine the situation around the jack-in-the-box, the lights went out, enshrouding the giant toy and those around it in darkness.
Not particularly worried about whatever was going on in the dark, he was about to continue toward the exit, when, all of a sudden, the door burst open, revealing the insane man from the room. Rick looked on, horrified, as Yuzo dropped the corpse he had been dragging. He slowly backed away from the psychopath, keeping Kaori close.
"I'm scared, I don't wanna go anywhere near him," she said with her face pressed against his leg.
"Don' worry. Y'don' have to," Rick replied. "Let's jus' go back an' see what the nice ladies are doin'."
It was then that he heard a yell from where they had come: "What the FUCK is THAT!!!!"
"That's Natalie," he gasped. "C'mon, sounds like she's in trouble." Rick then made his way back towards the aisle where Natalie and Rie had been, moving as fast as Kaori would allow.

OOC: According to the map, I'm assuming that Sakaki is browsing the toys of the shelf above her, she wouldn't be able to distinguish shit if the shelf was shrouded in darkness. When I think of this it makes me wonder if the alien's placement is akward, because if she was searching the shelves, wouldn't she be facing them and chucking them behind. This makes me question whether or not the alien should be exactly behind her (between the second shelf and Sakaki), so I'll post atm according to what seems reasonable to me. If you don't agree, well...we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
IC:
With a ridiculous amount of toys in her hand, Sakaki looked to her left and right and realized that no one was around. Being alone was never any fun for Sakaki, but unbeknown to her, she was NOT alone! Something was behind her and was currently lurking in the darkness.
However, one could never rule out the feeling that your being watched, and neither could Sakaki. This alone didn't cause her to panic, instead she welcomed the feeling of having someone around. They could serve as entertainment for her when she would to boast to them about her gathered spoils.
This insatiable lust for attention forced Sakaki to greet them, "Hello? Is someone...there?" She then looked left and right for anyone and then back down at the toys she held. "Are you here to play with Sakaki?" she inquired.
Then suddenly, her face contorted into a sneer that didn't necessarily compliment her beautiful, facial features. "Well too bad! Your not getting any of Sakaki's treasure, because Sakaki's treasure belongs to her and her alone!"
Sakaki would then take off to her right , almost as if possessed by her greed.

Turf hurled his katana with all his might toward the jester after wildly firing his X-Rifle. Taka had one idea left and pulled both triggers. The X-Gun's “wings” extended as the barrel lit up for a few seconds. The jester laughed mocking the two ganzters as they tried to fight back. The jester focused on the katana and readied his scepter arm to knock it right back at Turf. The moment it went to swing a couple of Turf's wild shots and Taka's well aimed shot threw the jester off-balance mid swing. Unfortunately the jester still made contact with the katana, sending it back in Turf's direction. Turf fell forward onto his upper body as a pool of blood started to form under him. He was separated from his legs, courtesy of his own katana. His body gradually became cold before passing out, then dying. The jester held its mask and groaned lightly, it seemed to be stunned.
Sakaki ran away from the “treasure thief”. Caught up in her greed she stumbled into something. It was slightly warm and wet. If she were to examine what this thing was Sakaki would probably recognize it as Matsuda, since there was nothing left from the shoulders up.
Yuzo, whose interest was captured by the jester, slowly walked toward the end of the short aisle close to him. He smiled as he as raised up his left arm and popped his hand out of the sleeve holding an X-Gun. Yuzo let out a slight grunt as he fired at the stunned jester. A few seconds passed and Taka saw a small burst hit the jester. Apparently now it could be harmed since it responded to the burst with a groan of pain.
In the aisle behind Taka, Jakkaru had been rushed by the four small dolls. He was obviously caught off-guard as the dolls latched onto him and began biting into his suit. He could feel each one of them biting into his arms and legs.
Meanwhile Rie had run away in search of Rick while Natalie had been perplexed as to how to use her gun. In a desperate act she wildly pulled both triggers. However due to her frantic nature she didn't pull them at the same time and couldn't get the gun to work. Her target shuffled toward her, slowly closing the gap between them. Rie hadn't run for long as she saw Rick and Kaori coming toward her.
“Hurry there's something up there and it's gonna get her!” Rie said while motioning for them to hurry up.

"Last fuckin' stand." Taka said, standing up and aiming at the Jester. It seemed that pulling both of the triggers of the gun made it work, though there was a small time lag. Taka pulled both triggers three times, aiming as close as he could at the Jester's head and chest.

“Hurry there's something up there and it's gonna get her!” Rie said while motioning for them to hurry up.
"Here, watch her," Rick said to Rie, motioning to Kaori as he gently freed himself from the little girl's grasp. Ahead of him, he could see Natalie, just outside one of the aisles. She was aiming her gun into the aisle and seemed to be trying to fire it. Keeping to his right, and therefore as far from her line of fire as possible, he approached her quickly.
"Natalie, what's wr--" Rick trailed off as he saw the thing coming toward her. He didn't have the faintest idea what it might be, and, frankly, he didn't care. It sure as hell didn't look like something that would want to make friends with them, and that was reason enough for Rick to want to leave........immediately. "C-come on, Natalie. Let's go." He leaned forward and grabbed her arm.

As she wildly pulled both triggers to her pistol Natalie, to her surprise, was able think about her situation. What the hell?!? Why isn't this stupid gun working!!! Man why did I pick this dumb thing up in the first place. And what the hell is this thing. Natalie stares down what was approaching; she didn't know what the hell she was staring at but to her own shock she wasn't scared but curious. "I don't know your deal but something tells me your not her to ta--".
"C-come on, Natalie. Let's go."
A sudden tug interrupts Natalie mid-sentence. She turns her head slightly to look at whoever it may be. "Rick, if you haven't notice there's something coming this way and it doesn't look friendly; take care of Kaori and Rie ok. Natalie pulls her arm away and motions Rick to leave "I-I'll handle it".
Natalie figured out that wildly pulling both triggers didn't work so she tried something new. Natalie points her pistol and pulls the two triggers at the same time four times: two at the head and two at the torso. Natalie couldn't help but think I wonder what Jacky-boy(Jakkaru) is doing right now; I hope he's ok.

"Take care of Kaori and Rie ok," said Natalie, as she pulled her arm away and motioned for Rick to leave. "I-I'll handle it."
Rick wasn't going to let any harm come to Kaori if he could help it, but the girl wasn't going to be in any immediate danger unless this thing got past them.
"Rie," Rick called to the model, "take Kaori somewhere to hide. We'll meet up with you soon."
Rick saw that Natalie now seemed more focused than ever on the task at hand, and was pulling the triggers of her gun with a fresh resolve. Unfortunately, nothing was happening any differently.
"Natalie, it's not working. We need to mo-"
Just then......

Jakkaru grabbed at the dolls on his arms grunting in pain at their bites. "Get off of me you fuckers." After he got the dolls on his arms off, he would bend down and tossing the other two off. He would then draw his X-gun and point it at one of the dolls, wrapping two of his fingers around a trigger hoping to shoot it.

Rick's plan to retreat with Natalie was halted by the grotesque assailant bursting like a balloon. Its dark red blood and insides splattered all around the aisle. As if that weren't enough, the gruesome painting was accompanied with such a strong odor it could be smelled through out the store.
In the next aisle over Rie had taken Kaori by the hand and lead her down the aisle in hopes to find someone else, however Kaori wasn't being the most cooperative at the moment.
“I don't wanna leave Mr. Rick, what if he's in trouble?!” Kaori asked obviously worried while trying her best to stop Rie from dragging her further down the aisle.
“He told me to take you somewhere safe and that's what I'm doing, why do you have to be such a pain?” Rie asked showing Kaori some of her snob attitude. The child looked up at her almost instinctively.
“Hey you're one to talk!” the youngster shot back shocking the model. Rie re-gripped Kaori's hand and continued down the aisle.
“I don't wanna hear anything else out of you.” Rie said with her nose pointed upward.
Further down the aisle Jakkaru had frantically grabbed at the teething dolls to end the annoyance. He got them off of his limbs and held his X-gun firmly with his two fingers wrapped around the triggers. Surely it would brought him great joy and relief to blast one, if not all of the tiny dolls to bits, but for some reason he didn't actually pull either of the triggers. The dolls once again latched onto him and picked up from where they left off, but one would have to question whether they were really teething or trying to eat him alive.
Over by the smaller aisles Sakaki stayed with Yuu's body, maybe she had grown attached to him. The so-called “Treasure Thief” slowly shuffled toward her. Luck seemed to be on her side as Yuzo lifted his right arm and popped out his hand out. He held a Y-gun in this hand. He pulled both triggers and a mini rocket shot out of each barrel. The three rockets encircled the thief, making multiple revolutions as they slowly descended and planted into the ground. The thief was immobilized as the there was a very thin but strong wires attached to these rockets. Yuzo smiled feeling satisfied that he caught one, but his focus shifted back to the jester as he fired his X-gun a few more times at it.
Taka also fired at the annoying jester. A short time passed before multiple bursts engulfed it. Its high pitched screams of pain could be heard throughout the store. As the bursts subsided the gantzers would take note to the state of the jester's clothing. It was ripped and there were multiple holes, but the most startling thing about this was they could see that the jack in the box wasn't a machine, it was a living organism! The features hidden by the bright clothing were sickening. The jester then came to it's senses. It pointed its scepter at Taka and then threw one of the daggers held in the other hand at him. With great agility it shifted its focus toward Yuzo and threw a dagger at him too.

Taka knew he had no chance of dodging the knife. He had always heard people say that when your life is in danger, time slows down. For him, that wasn't true. It felt like time was slower, but he was slow too. He watched as the dagger came towards him and could feel a cold sweat on his forehead. His legs went a little numb. This was it. He was gonna die and he didn't even get to find out what all of this was about. He tried moving to the left, figuring that if he was gonna get stabbed, he would at least try to get it in the shoulder instead of his heart or head.

"Goddammit!" He shout as he pressed the gun to one of the dolls head, it was pointed to side so it had little chance to hurt himself. "Work you fucking piece of shit." He said as he tried to pull the triggers yet again. He wasn't ready to die yet, he couldn't let it end this way. 'Come on please work you goddamn gun, my life is just getting started and I don't want it to end yet!' He thought hoping the gun would actually work.

Natalie couldn't helped but become dumbfounded and outright shocked at what happened next; she couldn't believe that some little pistol could do so much damage. "Holy shit hey Rick this isn't worthless piece of crap after all. I mean the more I think about whats going on the more it makes my head hurts; anyway we should look for Rie and Kaori.
Natalie looks at her PDA and notices two dots close together in the next hall. "Hey Rick follow me and stay close". Natalie rushes ahead into the next aisle hoping to run into Kaori and Rie.

Sakaki stayed by Yuu's corpse with her toys in her arms. She looked almost as if she were fascinated by the blood that her feet been doused in. Strange shit like that intrigued her and she couldn't help but wiggle her feet in it until the lights flickered back on.
It was then that she realized that this was a corpse and it wasn't every day that one would find a corpse lying around. This caused her to nudge the corpse with her bare foot and see if she gained a response from the young man.
Yep, he was dead alright.
Suddenly, a gun was fired by a guy she didn't recall from back in the room. Perhaps, she was too distracted to notice him, but that was now unimportant. Yuzo had something that she wanted, a gun of some sort and not only did he have one, but two. The first gun he fired ensnared something behind her - she looked to see what it was. Then after seeing a glimpse of it, he shot again at what appeared to be a giant Jack in the box.
Where the hell had that come from?
Seeing him fire at Jack, she glanced at the gun and back down at the toys she held. She was curious if anything she had was worth something as awesome as that gun was; she wanted to shoot shit too!
"Um...excuse me...Sakaki was wondering...if you'd let her have a turn?" she asked politely before giving the strange man a reassuring smile.

"Hey Rick follow me and stay close," said Natalie.
"Y-yeah...sure," Rick replied, covering his nose against the terrible odor emanating from the gruesome remains of the monster. Glad to leave the gory scene, he followed Natalie into the next aisle, mysterious case hanging at his side.

Taka did his best to get out of the knife's path but couldn't. He did end up taking the knife in his left shoulder but it was better than taking it in the head or heart. The pain surged through his upper left arm and chest area. However th knife wasn't too far into his shoulder, if Taka were to pull it out he wouldn't risk serious injury.
Yuzo stepped over Yuu's huddled corpse paying no mind to Sakaki. He maintained his unbreakable focus on the Jack in the Box, he enjoyed causing the giant, grotesque child's toy pain and suffering. Yuzo then unzipped his large winter coat and shot his arms up causing his coat to fall behind him. He was wearing one of those mysterious suits from the cases, but his was different. His had holsters all over the torso portion in addition to the ones on the legs. In each of the small holsters were X and Y guns that he apparently had been collecting. However there was one that wasn't recognizable at all. This unknown gun was in a special holster on his back. Yuzo threw his X-Gun behind him and reached the unknown gun. It was larger than the X-Gun but it was big or heavy enough for the need of two hands as Yuzo swung it easily in front of him. What made this gun so peculiar was the large ring that was around the barrel. Yuzo snickered as he pulled and held the single large trigger. The ring began to revolve around the barrel at a high speed, producing a mechanical whirring sound and a slight light. It continued for another second before the light and sound ceased before firing a bright, concentrated beam at the Jester's right arm.
The Jester raised his right arm, ready to throw another knife into Taka and finish him off, shrieked in pain as it's arm fell off. The arm hit the ground with a thud, the hand still clutching the knives. Who would've thought Yuzo had access to something with such power. Sakaki stood by Yuu's corpse with the smile still on her face, however if she were to look by Yuzo's coat she would spot the discarded X-gun. If she picked it up she could run around and shoot to her heart's content.
Jakkaru pulled the triggers and the gun flashed. Was this how the gun fired? Jakkaru had his answer as one of the dolls head exploded. The other dolls hesitated a bit. Jakkaru had figured they were shocked from seeing one of their own get the head blown off, but it was actually a moment to change their methods. Instead of jumping on him like they did before, the dolls began to spit a foul smelling and vile colored substance onto him. This substance sizzled as it made contact with his suit. He needed to get it off of him and take care of these dolls.
A bit further up the aisle were Rie and Kaori and a bit further from them was Natalie and Rick. Before the five gantzers could do anything a quake shook them up a bit. Then a loud crashing sound was heard. On the further side of the store one of the large shelves had been flung into the air and fell through a hole formed by some unknown force. On its way down it collided with the giant shelf next to it causing a sort of domino effect. The shelf was shoved closer to the five gantzers making the passage way tighter. As if things couldn't get any worse some of the lights in the store went out or were dimmed, reducing visability and mobility.

Taka turned his head to the right and bit down on his right bicep as he wrapped his fingers around the handle of the knife. He bit down suddenly as he began to pull. He pulled, using as much strength he needed so as not to hurt himself, hoping he wouldn't bleed out when the blasted thing finally came out.

Natalie tried to forget what she saw: how a little pistol reduced some monster to nothing but bloody chunks. She couldn't understand how or why but she began to feel lightheaded following by a rush of nausea. Natalie falls to her knees and throws up. For the first time she could feel a surge of panic and disgust flow through her. She could feel he hands tremble slightly as she stood up.
Natalie turns slightly to Rick. "I'm sorry you had to see that; t-t-that's the first time I've taken a life like that. I just reacted, it wasn't human and I killed it without thinking. Something tells me it would of hurt us but still I feel that......I don't know what I'm saying; C'mon Rie and Kaori are up ahead.
Natalie while running to reunite with Rie and Kaori notices something up ahead. She couldn't get a clear picture but she could tell it was someone from the room and they were in trouble. Natalie rushes past Rie and Kaori while yelling "STAY BACK!!! Rick protect them ok!!!!
Hoping to help Natalie pulls out her pistol, remembering how it works, fires two shots at each doll noticing that her hands are still trembling slightly. Natalie could think this isn't right how are dolls alive I mean........what the hell...

"No need t'be sorry," Rick explained after Natalies apology. "You're right. Whatever that thing is.." he looked disgustedly at the corpse. "Whatever it was, it wasn't human."
When Natalie ran further down the aisle, Rick followed. Rie and Kaori were there, along with the boy from the room, Jakkaru. There were several strange dolls on him.
"STAY BACK!!! Rick protect them ok!!!!" Natalie yelled, raising her gun.
She was almost certainly planning on shooting the dolls, but Rick didn't think that mattered. Judging from the explosive force the gun demonstrated on the monster from before, Jakkaru was in about as much danger as the dolls. Natalie was upset and panicked, and in such a state, she would likely have trouble aiming straight. Rick had noticed her hands trembling when she'd gotten up a brief moment earlier.
"Natalie, NO!" Rick shouted, dropping his case by Rie's and Kaori's feet. He ran up to Natalie and grabbed her arm, pulling it to the right and away from Jakkaru. He hoped he'd be quick enough to stop her from accidentally killing the boy she had obviously shown some interest in back in the room.

Sakaki watched Yuzo's battle with the alien up until the point where it's arm was blown off. After seeing that she hoped to god that Yuzo would allow her to use that gun! It was then that she looked away, something had caught her eye and she was overjoyed to see what it was.
Seeing the discared X-Gun beside Yuzo's discarded attire, she tossed the toys she held and scrambled over to what was up for grabs. If she reached the gun she would look left and right for any danger, because stealing was bad and Sakaki didn't want to be caught in the act of stealing.
If the coast was clear she'd grab the coat and put it on swiftly; it was sort of big on her, but it wasn't like that mattered to her anyways. She'd then grab the X-gun, attempting to lift it, but it was quite heavy.
However, she managed and focused on trying to be just like Yuzo! With the gun in her right hand, in which was her dominant hand, she practiced aiming around. When she got the hang of how the gun felt she whipped the gun out like Yuzo, aimed at the same alien Yuzo was shooting at and pulled the first trigger, then the bottom trigger and finally both.
Snickering just like her role-model, she shouted. "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Just then the doll closest to Jakkaru exploded violently. Rick's attempt to save the boy from Natalie's shaky hands seemed to be successful. Jakkaru took a quick breath and looked toward the two with a weary smile as thanks. A loud roar was then heard behind the shelf closest to the newly formed hole. It was then sent into the shelves near the group. Kaori fell to her knees and clutched her head, screaming in fright. Rie followed suit by crouching down over Kaori. Another domino effect was the result, however this one was more fatal than the last. After the dust and debris settled there were only two large shelves left, one on either side. Rie and Kaori stood up slowly, each carefully studying their surrounding. The dolls were no where in site, but neither was Jakkaru.
Wait, what happened to that kid? Rie thought as she was checking the general area he was last in. Upon closer investigation she spotted a substance dripping from the furthest corner. She followed the drips up to their source and covered her mouth in shock. Jakkaru had been stuffed into the shelf. The sight was quite gruesome. His body was crunched together in an inhumanly capable position. His face frozen in a combination of shock and pain. A grumbling noise and dripping could be heard over the left shelf. It sounded like a large sick animal.
Taka in the meantime prepared himself and pulled the knife out of his shoulder. It didn't hurt as much as it going in. He didn't have time to rest as he was sent across the floor by the sudden impact to the shelf. It would seem that he could take a break now if he wished since Yuzo still had the Jester's attention. The insane gantzer took aim again with his O-Gun intending to finish the job. Sakaki had put on Yuzo's large winter coat and aimed his discarded X-Gun at the Jester. While trying to imitate her newest target of infatuation Sakaki fired at the Jester. Yuzo had taken his time to line up his shot with the Jester's head. Just when he got it perfectly aligned the Jester's mask cracked from Sakaki's shot. The elaborate mask fell off the Jester's face in small pieces to reveal its grotesque and horribly disfigured face. It quickly turned away to hide its true form and save face, although it didn't matter. Yuzo then snickered as he readjusted and pulled the trigger of the O-Gun.
“Die!” Yuzo shouted as the laser penetrated the Jester's neck. Its severed head and limp body both feel to the ground with thumps. Yuzo then turned around and stared at Sakaki with wide eyes.
“Castle...” He muttered. He must have some kind of attachment to his coat as he had an aggrivated expression on his face.

Taka wearily stood up, looking at the wound in his shoulder. It stung quite a lot, but not as bad as he had imagined. He just hoped that he wouldn't get infected. He was surprised to see the Jester dead. It seemed that insane guy had taken him out. Taka walked up to Yuzo, however, keeping a distance of a few feet. The guy seemed a little on edge as he stared at some girl in a coat. "So, is that it?" he asked. "Can we go now?"

Natalie let out a shakey sigh of relief as the evil doll met its end. She could only think Jacky-boy I finally found you. As she tried to run to Jakkaru another explosion more fatal than the last knocks Natalie off her feet. After the dust and debris settle Natalie slowly picks herself up and tries to settle herself down but still can feel her hands shake followed with slight nausea.
As she tries to get herself together she immediately notices that the evil dolls are gone but most of all Jakkaru is gone. Her feeling of relief is replaced with the feeling of worry as she desperately looked around; She hears and notices a strange dripping from the futherest corner. Natalie follows it and sees Rie not noticing her shocked response. "Oh my god Rie are you ok I mean this is getting more and more crazy by the minute; hey what are you staring at?". The next thing Natalie would see would shake and disgust her to her core.
It was Jakkaru. He was stuffed in the shelf and the look of pain and agony was still etched on his face. Natalie could feel tears run down her face. "What happened Rie? I mean I thought I...... He was ok a second ago...... Oh god Jacky-boy I'm sorry". Just as Natalie was paying her respects to the fallen Jakkaru she could hear a loud grumbling noise; she didn't know what is was but she could tell it wasn't friendly. Wiping the tears from her face she takes Rie by the hand while saying "we have to go now!! Lets grab Kaori and Rick and get out of here; Rick grab Kaori and lets go". Natalie knew that whatever killed Jakkaru wa still around so she made sure she had her pistol drawn out. She could still feel her hands shaking slighty; She could only think Dammit Natalie stop shaking and get ready....this is not over.....

"Rick grab Kaori and lets go," Natalie said, preparing to leave the area along with Rie. Rick had heard the grumbling just as clearly as Natalie had; more so, probably. It sounded like whatever had made the sound was on the other side of the shelf and at the other end. Too close for comfort. Rick knelt down next to Kaori, who was on her knees herself.
"Kaori, sweety, I know yer scared, but we need t'move." Rick spoke softly to the girl. It was safe to say that he was frightened, too, but he couldn't imagine how this whole ordeal appeared in the eyes of a child. "Tell ya what: if you want me to, I'll carry you. Jus' climb up into my arms and hold on to me. But keep your eyes closed. Shut 'em tight until I tell you everything's okay."
Picking Kaori up, Rick went to the end of the aisle, the one farthest from that grumbling noise. He was just stepping through the small gap between the two shelves when he remembered: the case. It still lay on the floor where he had dropped it. What was it about this thing that so compelled Rick to keep it? It had done nothing as of yet to help him and was really only one more thing to carry. But WHY?? Why could Rick not bring himself to part with it? This was one more question that he hoped would be answered in time.
Turning back, Rick moved to the case, as quickly as he could while holding Kaori. He picked it up and hurried back to the end of the aisle. Making his way through the gap, he said to Natalie and Rie: "On the far end of that wall is an exit. Head that way."
Rick could only hope that the psychopath wasn't blocking their way out anymore.

Sakaki observed Yuzo with her undivided attention as he finished off the alien, rendering it useless as it's remains fell to the ground. She then noticed him turn toward her, staring at her with wide eyes.
He muttered something, something that sounded like,“Castle...”
Yuzo looked pretty aggravated after he said this, but Sakaki didn't seem to be intimidated in the slightest. She instead was confused by what he said to her.
Perhaps, he meant something by it?
"Castle? Sakaki isn't a castle! Sakaki is Sakaki!" She thought to herself, as if debating to herself whether or not she was justified being called such a thing.
Sakaki was right though, she was no "castle", but this was Yuzo, and with the weaponry he held at his disposal, taking him lightly, no matter how ridiculous he sounded, wouldn't be a smart move for anyone to make; even if it were Sakaki.
However, Sakaki wasn't use to dealing with those who were crazier than her. They were either just as crazy or sane in some way, shape or form. The general rule of the thumb back at the Asylum, was to keep those that needed more help away from those that weren't that "needy". And it was obvious that Yuzo needed A LOT more help than Sakaki!
So, being that Sakaki was fearless, she dismissed him as a threat entirely. Her response to him then after was was the continuation of her game of "mime". She cleared her throat, widened her eyes just like Yuzo, and muttered, "Castle..." in the deepest voice she could muster. She then eyed him like she was just as aggravated as he was!

Yuzo became more frustrated now that Sakaki had mimicked him. His breathing became heavy as he slowly advanced toward her, focused on reclaiming his “castle” and completely ignoring Taka.
“Return castle now or else!” Yuzo shouted angrily while waving his O-Gun around. As if it wasn't obvious enough, that coat must have a great importance to him.
It would seem that Rick, Kaori, Rie, and Natalie could finally rest. After all they witnessed it would be well deserved. Rick headed toward the end of the aisle with Kaori huddled in his chest. Natalie and Rie weren't too far behind when a creaking noise was heard. Just then something giant leaped over the shelf and landed with a forceful tremor, separating the group. Dust and debris clouded the giant monstrosity for a few seconds. Rie took one glance at it and let out a frightful shriek. It truly was a horrible sight, a giant, rabid, melting, teddy bear. The bear stood tall and spread its arms outward. It shook its head and roared, a yellowish substance dripped from its mouth as it shook. Not only was the substance dripping from its mouth, but from its joints and nearly every orifice. However what stood out the most was the red ribbon bow it wore around its neck. On the middle of this bow was the bouncy ball alien, with its open smile and wide eye stare. The whole reason they were sent here hanging as a decoration for a monster, if they somehow get it it'll all be over.

Yuzo seemed to ignore him as Taka stood there. He was after his jacket which he was referring to as a 'castle'? "Yeah, well fuck you, then." Taka muttered.

As Natalie and Rie walked on, Natalie couldn't help but think about Jakkaru. What the hell.....I mean what the hell happened.....I thought Jakkaru would be OK but now he's...... Thinking about Jakkaru causes tears to run Natalie's face. I can't be thinking about that right now.....I just have this weird feeling its not over...... "I'm sorry Rie but I forgot to ask are you OK?? I know this must be too much to take in I just wish-.
A sudden cracking noise interrupts Natalie mid-sentence. A giant figure jumps over the shelves and lands with a large tremor kicking up dust and debris. When it clears, Rie lets out a fearful shriek.....it was truly was a horrible sight, a giant, rabid, melting, teddy bear. The bear stood tall and spread its arms outward. It shook its head and roared, a yellowish substance dripped from its mouth as it shook. Not only was the substance dripping from its mouth, but from its joints and nearly every orifice. However what stood out the most was the red ribbon bow it wore around its neck. On the middle of this bow was the bouncy ball alien, with its open smile and wide eye stare.
In this type of situation most people would be frozen in fear but not Natalie; She simply lets go of Rie's hand and yells out "EVERYBODY RUN!!! I'll distract it...". With her pistol in her other hand she points it at the giant teddy bear. Immediately after pointing at it her eyes for a brief second shift slightly to the left and she sees a small pathway; as she looks at the pathway she suddenly gets an idea. I need some breathing room.....that thing is way too big to fit through that pathway; it won't buy me a lot of time but it would be enough time for me to think of a new plan... .
Natalie then turns to her left and sprint towards the narrow pathway. While running she looks back and fires three shots at the giant teddy bear to turn its attention towards her and yells out "RICK TAKE CARE OF THE GIRLS....DON'T WORRY I'LL BE OK...I THINK". In the back of her mind Natalie wished the suit she was wearing was some type of heavy body armor that let he move at the speed of light not some super tight body suit.

When the giant "teddy bear" landed, Rick spun around to face it.
"What in the crikey f--" (uck?) Get a hold o' yerself, Rick. Yer holdin' a child.
Quickly covering the last few feet to the end of the aisle, Rick gently lowered Kaori down to the ground. Giving her his case, he pointed her towards the exit they had tried to reach earlier.
"It's nawt safe 'ere, anymoah, sweetie. The exit's over theah; I want you t' take this and get out of 'ere as fast as y'can. Find another grown-up like me -a policeman maybe- and tell 'em what's going on 'ere. Be careful, but don't look back."
Turning back to the monster, Rick found that Natalie had begun running in the other direction, firing her gun at the thing.
"F' god's sake, Sheila...RUN!!" Rick yelled at Rie, running toward the beast as he did so. Unsheathing his knife, Rick reached it before long.
If it had turned toward Natalie following her attack, Rick would leap onto the bear's back and plung the knife into it, letting his weight bring the blade down.
If it had not turned, Rick would run toward it, slide between it's legs, and then leap onto the bear's back, plunging the knife into it and letting his weight bring the blade down.

Yuzo seemed even more frustrated after Sakaki had mimicked him. His breathing became heavy as he slowly advanced toward her, focused on reclaiming his “castle” and completely ignoring Taka, who Sakaki hadn't noticed yet as well.
His weird behavior caused Sakaki Kobayashi to step backward. She wasn't really feeling comfortable with how close he was getting. Neither was she sure if this was still all fun and games!
"But Sakaki doesn't have any castles!" She explained, looking left and right, striving to spot anything nearby that resembled such a thing.
“Return castle now or else!” Yuzo shouted angrily while waving his O-Gun around.
After he had shouted this, it caught Sakaki off guard and she had slipped and fell on her backside once again. When she would look up she'd probably see Yuzo still advancing and would attempt to crawl under his legs with a childish squeal of delight!
"GLORY HOLE!" she shouted, as she attempted to pass on through.
If successful, she'd crawl until she was a safe distance away and turn to Taka, almost as if she had just happened to notice him. "Why hello there! My name's Sakaki!" She greeted before gesturing toward Yuzo, "I don't believe you've met my friend...He's seemed to have lost his castle..." She stated, introducing him and pouting at the thought of someone losing something dear to them. She then began to smile, as if an idea had just struck her. "Maybe you can help us find the castle?!"

Kaori nodded and headed for the exit, holding the suitcase with both arms not looking back. With every step her shoes blinked with a red-violet glow.
Turning back to the monster, Rick found that Natalie had begun running in the other direction, firing her gun at the thing.
"F' god's sake, Sheila...RUN!!" Rick yelled at Rie, running toward the beast as he did so. Unsheathing his knife, Rick reached it before long.
“Sheila?” Rie said to herself as she snapped out of the paralysis of fear. The bear was truly a horrible sight but she mustered up the courage to run past the bear and after Kaori. She wasn't too far behind as she could see the lights from the little girl's sneakers.
The bear let out another loud roar as Natalie's shots burst around it. Aggravated, the bear turned toward Natalie and began pursuit. She had reached the end of the narrow path and was seemingly trapped, however there was a space between the shelves. It would take her some time, but she would be able to get through it.
The furious giant plush toy growled at Natalie realizing it had her in a corner. It readied itself to charge into her but then Rick leaped up and plunged his knife into its back. The bear growled in pain and began shaking to try and fling Rick off, thus preventing him from tearing through anymore.
Yuzo's weird behavior caused Sakaki Kobayashi to step backward. She wasn't really feeling comfortable with how close he was getting. Neither was she sure if this was still all fun and games!

"GLORY HOLE!" she shouted as she passed on through. Yuzo watched her as she crawled through, perplexed by her outburst.
She crawled to what she thought was a safe distance and turned to Taka, almost as if she had just happened to notice him. "Why hello there! My name's Sakaki!" She greeted before getting grabbed by the neck of the coat. Yuzo had lifted her high into the air with he free and and began shaking her.
“Castle is mine, not yours!” Yuzo shouted angrily as he kept shaking her.
