Pawns

Stealing Sticks were harder than I thought, initially I was going back to Minato to steal from Juuroku, but an accident occurred before I could.

An Admin had arrived, "Oho? So you're the one that killed Juushi twice. Quite a feat for a puny human." A pale face in a male student uniform, donning a headband.

The mask the Admin's face was based on was a Hyottoko mask, meaning that they were, "Ni." I managed to say aloud.

They had come out of nowhere, I believe from a nearby store. I had just been jumping from place to place with the Gun Stick, but unexpectedly I was caught.

"Oh? You're quite something, knowing my name. I just don't understand why Ichi would send me here to take care of you, after all you're pretty weak. Why should I waste my time on something like you?" Veins popped from my head, "You damn Hyottoko."

My eyes narrowed, I had no choice but to just do it. Pointing the gun, I hurriedly shot at them. "What?!" Ni could not react on time and had just been hit with the pink smoke.

Black smoke dispersed once more, and a pale naked body appeared. "Ochi Shizuka." A Magical Girl who had killed all her bullies with the power of Stick that could drain away all their blood.

A terrifying Stick. But this was my chance, if I could manipulate her into becoming Ni once more, and through Anjou's method of using the Glasses and Handbell Sticks to infiltrate and influence her mind, I could obtain a pawn of myself.

That, and Takahashi Tsurara. I smiled in glee as I shot another at her, this time sharing my extra lifespan.

Just enough to make use a Stick one more time, "Ugh, where the hell am I?" She stood up, aching in pain.

She was stunned by what had occurred, soon discovering that she had no clothes she screamed. "Ahh! Who are you?!"

She held her body close, distancing herself. I sighed and told her, "You were being used as the host for the Site Admin Ni."

Hearing the two words Site Admin, her ears perked up. It seems like she knew of them, "What? You mean?" She then staggered, clutching her head.

She was beginning to recall her memories I assumed. "I see now, and you bought me back? But why?"

She stared at me, confused by my actions. "Because you and along with a few others can be put to good use, if you are willing to I shall grant you more Sticks to become Ni once more, this time I shall gain a leeway for you to be able to regain your memories quickly."

I told her of my plan, it was bold and was very unlikely or it to work. But it was better than nothing, she frowned and stared at me with a determined gaze.

"I'll do it. But give me a better Stick. After all I can't exactly kill Admins with the power to control blood as they do not have blood at all." Of course I agreed, but I only let her choose from the Sticks that I had created.

They were as followed, the Hammer, Syringe, Shoes, Umbrella, Hairdryer, Teddy Bear (which I had to recreate again), Brush and the only one I had created from a Stick that I had stolen prior to all this, a Magnet.

The Magnet was from Shi's district and could repulse things away from the user. Of course I had more than this, but I was making sure that Ni wasn't too powerful just in case I had to kill her or decommission her once more.

The range was small, but she chose two that were quite handy.

The Hammer and Shoes. Their power were quite destructive as well as useful and were definitely enough to kill the other Admins.

"You ready?" I told her, sporting the Glasses that could allow me to alter my size and the Handbell that lets me travel through space-time, we then began the operation.

She breathed in and smashed the ground with the hammer. Doing this made her bleed from the nose, but that was okay as it was only a minor setback.

Black smoke billowed in the air, her body dissipating once more. Seeing this I took the chance to change myself into microscopic size and attached myself to her.

And soon I was warped to a different place.

....

In a council room where space was stretched and warped, Ichi looked over to Ni's seat, which was active once more.

"So, you have returned Ni. Hm? This is." He was shocked, instead of the previous Ni, it was Ochi Shizuka, whom was once more under the King's spell.

Her eyes were cold and unfeeling, no longer shining with the resplendent light of life.

Yamada witnessed the scene and tried to commune with Ochi Shizuka, but to no avail. The only thing that got through her before he passed out was, "Don't forget. You must be aware of Juushi and Nana. They are your comrades in this."

....

Ichi gazed at the re-elected Ni with curiosity. He had never heard of such a phenomenon occurring before, "How do you feel Ni?"

He asked with caution, he felt that this time Ni was being quite strange, before he was very vulgar and rude, but this Ni was calm albeit still as vulgar and impulsive as before.

"Whad'ya mean by that? I'm fine, you're just being worried for nothin.'" Despite his reassurance, Ichi still felt something was unusual, and it all came from after having Ni investigate the anomaly.

'For now, I should wait until any changes occur.' He thought to himself, unsure whether to report it to the King or not.

And fortunately for Yamada, he didn't.

.....

I had already awoken from my stupor, finding myself in a familiar place. It was the area I was in before, just a little more messy due to Shizuka having destroyed the ground.

My phone then buzzed, I noticed that I had gotten a few texts from Anjou. "Come quickly, about to fight the old hag, lol."

Seeing this, I knew it was my time to shine. And, if I ever made a mistake I could use the Flip Phone Stick that I had created for this particular situation to rewind time by a few minutes just in case.

....

Isoko Anjou had personally witnessed Reiko Maguchi placing the pictures up on every wall in school.

She was about to go kill her, but she realised that she had to stick to the plan. 'Yamada would save the poor girl, while the two of us shall kill her and obtain the hag's Stick.' The poor girl referred to Tsurara while the two was her and Hyoka.

"Now, shall we start the operation?"
