Chapter 6 - Koek Criminal Court

"Please stand. Raise your right hand. Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the case before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" The Clerk says to Ethan. "I do" Ethan replied. "Please state your first and last name" "Ethan Miller" "You may be seated". Ethan takes the seat at the witness stand. Wataru is thinking "What!? How- Why is he here!? I didn't murder anyone in the first place! And now Ethan is a witness or something!?". "So.. That night, where were you at exacally?" The deputy asked. "I was walking home... and.... I was walking pass the old man's house and I saw the doors opened. It was night time so I was confused. Then I saw him! Wataru, Murdering the old man!" Ethan explained. "Did you contact the police right away?" "No I didn't... but once I saw the man getting murdered... I tried calling but my phone was dead. So I ran home and called the police there" "I understand. Thank you, I have no further questions". "Does the defence have any questions?" Judge Byeongi asked. The public Defenders replied with "Not at this time, your honor-" "Why....." Wataru asked. "Why are you here Ethan!" Wataru looks at Ethan and knows exacally what he's planning. "I know exacally what Ethan is planning! He... He.... he murdered the old guy and is trying to frame me for it! He's trying to get payback for what I did!" Wataru says in his head while looking down. "Your Honor! He's scaring me!" Ethan shouted. Wataru looks at his desk. He really wanted to punch Ethan in the face right now. "Is the defendant ready with its case?" The Judge asks. "Yes, your Honor. I call the defendant" The public Defender says. Wataru walks up to the witness stand and looks around. "Man... what do I say" He says in his head while looking down. "Please stand. Raise your right hand. "Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the case now before this court shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" "I do". "Please state your name" The Clerk said. "Wataru Fujita" "You may be seated. "I was at home... laying on my bed" Wataru says. "Were you at the night of the crime?" The public defender asks. "N- no... look. I don't know who that man is in the camera. But I might know what's going on... It might be Ethan!" Wataru shouted and points at Ethan. "What?" Ethan asks in confusion. "You... you're trying to frame me!". Ethan looks at Wataru in Anger. Ethan tries to control his anger and frame Wataru. He says back "No! I saw you! You were the man who killed him!". "You were! I was laying on my bed sleeping that night! You also broke my window yesterday when you came to my house to kill me! Also I know exacally what you're doing! And it's not right! You killed the man and went in my house and took my earbuds with gloves on! Then you put them on the floor so the police can see my fingerprints all over it! You also swap jackets with mine so they could think it's me! So that means, you're the one trying to frame me!!" Wataru explained while yelling at Ethan. Everyone looked at Wataru and Ethan. Ethan looks at Wataru with an angry face. "I would not waste my time trying to set up and frame you! Why would I!" Ethan yelled at Wataru. Wataru calms down and looks at the floor. "Settle down!" The Judge yelled. "If you keep yelling! This won't be good for the both of you!". "Please excuse the Defendant back to the desk and take the witness back too". Chizuru looks at Wataru... "Man... this isn't looking good for Wataru". The group looks at Chizuru "Yeah I know". "So Wataru will actually go to prison if we don't prove his innocence" Ryan says. The juries have a discussion.

"Will the jury foreperson please stand? Has the jury reached a unanimous verdict?" Judge Byeongi says. Foreperson says "Yes". "Wataru! This isn't looking great for you!" Hisashi whispered to Wataru. "I know... hopefully I'm not guilty..." "Yeah". Ethan looks at Wataru across the room. He then thinks about what he did that night to frame Wataru. Wataru was correct... Ethan was framing him.

THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER

First Ethan sneaks into Wataru's house while Wataru was making food. Wataru sighs "A nice day to make tacos". Wataru was making Tacos..

Ethan sneaks through the broken window and was almost spot by Wataru. He then goes upstairs into Wataru's room and steals one of his items. Ethan steals it with a glove on so his fingerprints wouldn't be on it when he puts it in the crime scene. Ethan grabbed Wataru's earbuds and sneaks out through the window again. "I got what I needed! Hahahaha!" Ethan exclaimed while laughing. Ethan walks around the neighborhood as he puts on Wataru's favorite jacket that says "Nice". "Alright! Time to frame Wataru!" Ethan shouted happily. He then walks towards the old man's house. He breaks the door knobs and opens the door. "First I'm gonna act like I'm gonna steal some stuff, then I'm gonna walk into the old man's room and murder him" Ethan says with a smiley face. He makes sure his face doesn't show in the camera so he doesn't get Caught. Then the old man appears in the hallway as Ethan did not expect that. Ethan walks towards the old man with the knife. "What are you doing in my house young man-" The old man asked as Ethan stabs the old guy in the stomach. "Gah.... why?" The old man says. The old man falls to the floor as Ethan stabs him a couple of times hard. The earbuds fell out of his hoodie and lands right next to the old man. "Perfect!! Hahahah!" Ethan laughs. Ethan gets up and slowly walks out the house and out of the camera angle. "Hahahahah.... hahahahah!! I did it! Now I gotta change into a different clothes and act like I saw everything!" Ethan shouted and laughs at the same time. His evil laugh. Ethan looks up at the night sky and says "Be gone Wataru... I won't have to see your face ever again after this." Ethan says in his head while laughing. Ethan changes and starts the second act in front of the camera.

Wataru Yawns as he gets up from bed. "Man I'm thirsty". He walks down stairs to grab some water from the fridge. He chugs the whole entire water bottle down "Mmm! Water!". He walks back upstairs and heads to bed. He then hears screaming. "Aaaaaahhh!!" Ethan yells from outside. Wataru tries to ignore it. "Aaahh!". "Geez! What the hell Is that sound!?" Wataru shouted. He's annoyed. He sleeps under his pillow as the pillow is on his ears. He decided that he'd grab his earbuds and listen to some music. He reaches for it, but it isn't there. "Uuh! Whatever.." Wataru says. Ethan runs away from the old man's house and laughs "I finally did it!"

THE RED BRIDGE CLIFF

The lieutenant wakes up... it is cold. He wakes up in the cliff side and sees all of his soldiers frozened. "What the!" The lieutenant yelled as he holds his shoulders. His wounds still hurt. He checks the time and notices it is the next day! "What!? We've been frozen for a day!? How!?" The lieutenant shouted. He looks at the mist everywhere. Then he spots Junki. Junki is walking towards the lieutenant with a strange green aura. "What... what is that?" The lieutenant asks. "This is what I use to hack into your warbots. I have the power to hack and control the weather around me" Junki explained. "How? How can you use this power?" The lieutenant asks in pain. "The comet that crashed a few days ago.. The big purple shockwave that went across Yaozuno has a virus in it. Once you breathe enough virus inside your lungs, it attaches to your body and travels around your body. Basically I could call them Dusts. The comet's dust from the burn. I have two powers because a comet passed by Yaozuno a few years ago." Junki explained to the lieutenant. The lieutenant looks at Junki and then looks down. "Just kill me already" The lieutenant says. "No" "Why don't you want to kill us?" "Because I feel like sparing you." "I'll kill your soldiers and the police." "No!". The lieutenant looks down and has nothing to do against Junki. He can't save the soldiers and the officers so he just let's them go. Junki pulls his fists out and gets ready to punch all of the frozen soldiers into pieces. The lieutenant is in pain as he can't get up. Junki kills all of the soldiers one by one. They hear something in the mist. It sounded like electricity. "What is that sound?" The lieutenant asks. Junki turns to the noise they hear in the distance. Then a man jumps out from the mist with a smiley face "Hahahahahah!!". He lands and his hand touches the floor. "My name's Junseo Gong and I will be saving you sir!" Junseo shouted with a smiley face. "What did you say? Hahahahh!" Junki laughed. "Save him? What a funny joke!" Junki laughs and then makes a serious face. They look at eachother. "I called backup. So you're going down!" Lieutnant shouted. "No you didn't... as you were frozened I told them we don't need any backup anymore... so therefore, you two are doomed!" Junki laughs. Then he looks back at Junseo.

They dash towards eachother very fast creating a small explosion. They start fighting in the air as Junki kicks Junseo to the ground. "Gaah!" Junseo grunted. Junseo picks himself up and jumps towards Junki and electricutes him in the sky. Junki falls to the ground but manages to pick himself up and land perfectly. They both then focus a Huge amount of their energy to their hands and plan to blast it towards their opponent. "Haaaaaaaaaahh!!" They both yelled. The lieutenant looks at them. "Get him Junseo!" The lieutenant yelled as Junseo blasts green lightning towards Junki. Junki blasts thunder out of his hands and the both energy hits eachother. They're both standing in the same position as the both Lightning explodes in the middle as it spreads to their hands and explodes. Junseo and Junki flies back to the floor. "Junseo!" Lieutenant yelled.

THE COURTHOUSE

Everyone is talking in the courthouse. Everyone is whispering to eachother "I think this man should be guilty" "No! He should be free!". "It is true that.... what was his name? Ethan... could've done that to Wataru". "I think he's guilty!". "I don't think Wataru is guilty". "Everyone settle down" The Judge commanded. Everyone quiets down. Wataru is looking at his desk hoping that he doesn't go to Prison. "Will the jury foreperson please stand? Has the jury reached a unanimous verdict?" Judge Byeongi asks. The foreperson then says "Yes". The Clerk gets the verdict form from the foreperson and then goes to the Judge to hand it over. Judge Byeongi reads it silently then hands it back to the clerk. The judge looks at everyone quietly. They all wait for the judge to announce if the defendant is guilty or not. "The jury.... finds the defendant....." Wataru is looking down hoping he isn't guilty. Wataru's friends are looking at the judge. "Come on man.... he isn't guilty! Pls!" Ryan says in his head. Ethan is at his desk smiling down towards his desk.

"The jury finds the defendant Guilty".....

Wataru's friends look in shock at the judge as Wataru slowly puts his head up. Wataru's face has no emotions.

"Wataru will go to Strict Heights Prison for 12 years"

"The jury is thanked and excused. Court is adjourned."
