I made it to the rooftop and noticed Aki was in a chair, tied up. I noticed Raidon standing at the rails of the roof. Aki gasped as she noticed me and wiggled in her chair to try and escape to get to me.
"Archer!" Aki cried out.
"So you finally made it..." Raidon said and placed his hands on the rail. He continued to stare out into the distance. "I own this city. Kuchisaki, Tsukijuzu...a city owned by my organization. I'm surprised you survived this long. You beat Ethan. You beat Nightmare or Satoshi. You even managed to beat Hazuken. I'm impressed by your survivability, but this is where it ends."
"Raidon. I would've excused you if you left this as an academic thing, but you kidnapped my girlfriend and tie her up. Only God knows what the fuck you were planning to do with her, but I promise you that I'm not letting you live." I said.
Raidon turned around and looked at me. He smirked and crossed his arms. "No it is you who's not going to live anymore. Say goodbye to your life! Archer!"
Raidon ran to me and I ran to him. I dodged his initial punch and gave him a right hook. I kicked him away and he stumbled backwards. We ran to each other and I went for a punch. He blocked my punch then struck my gut. I groaned and stood my ground then grabbed his wrist. He tried to back away but I headbutted him and he groaned in pain. I threw him over my shoulder. He landed on his feet and kicked me away. I rolled backwards and landed on one knee then stood up.
"Hmph...you've done better than I expected.." Raidon scoffed.
"I'm not going down...I am not leaving without Aki!" I bellowed and ran to Raidon.
Raidon smirked and watched me. I jumped up and went for a kick, but he grabbed my leg then slammed me to the ground. I groaned and he raised me off the ground then grabbed my neck then choke slammed me on the floor. I grunted and moved my head down then bit his hand. He yelled in pain and punched my head to make me let go of his hand. I sunk my teeth into his flesh and my yells were muffled. I let him go and kicked him away from me.
I got up and ran to him again then tackled him onto the ground. I mounted on top of him then gripped his shirt and punched his face multiple times. I was preparing to go for my next hit, but he caught my fist. He punched my face and kicked me off him then got up and kicked my face. I groaned and held my face. He grabbed my shirt and picked me off the ground.
"Archer come on! Fight on please!" Aki screamed.
I opened my eyes and Raidon saw the fire that burned inside me. He laughed and tossed me to the side and I stood up. I looked at Raidon then ran to him and yelled then went for a punch but he dodged and went for a punch, but I dodged his punch as well then kneed his stomach and he groaned then I jabbed his face twice quickly. I then uppercut his chin. He stumbled back and spun around and kicked my face. I stumbled to the side and panted. We went back to fighting and our adrenaline was rushing beyond belief. We were fighting for five minutes and I was growing increasingly tired. Despite having fought Hazuken not too long ago, I still held my own against Raidon.
I wiped my lip and looked at Aki then looked at Raidon. I walked to Raidon and yelled then ran to him again. He ran to me and yelled as well.
"Archer!" He yelled.
We headbutted each other and pushed each other away. He went for a rush of punches and kicks, but I kept adapting to him and moving out of the way of his moves then gave him a nasty right hook. He looked surprised and stumbled then he grunted as I rushed him down then gave him a mean left hook. I yelled and grabbed his hair then brought his face down and kneed his face with all of my strength. He groaned loudly and his nose was now bloody.
I let him go and rushed him with punches and kicked him away. He noticed I was fighting exactly like Rena. I wasn't planning to let him land another hit on me. His vision began to grow blurry. I grabbed his arm and flipped him over my shoulder and slammed him on his back. He coughed and groaned in pain. I took out my knife and stabbed his stomach three times and got up then stomped on the knife, making it sink deeper into his stomach.
I panted and looked down at Raidon. He wasn't moving and I made my way over to Aki. Aki looked at me with tears running down her cheek. She noticed how beat up I looked. I had wounds all over my body. Cut wounds, bullet wounds, bruises, burn marks. You name it I had it.
Rena made it to the roof and looked at the scene then hurried over to me and Aki. "Aki!"
"Rena!" Aki cried.
I untied her and she immediately hugged me. I hugged her back and held her tightly. I rubbed her head and she just cried in my arms. "Let's go home.."
She nodded and let go of me. She hurried over to Rena and hugged her as well. After our short reunion, we left the rooftop and made our way to the bottom. As we made our way to the bottom, I smelled fire and looked around. An explosion happened and the roof began collapsing.
Raidon began to walk through the flames and had the knife still in his stomach. "Archer! You aren't leaving out of here alive! I won't let you leave!"
"How?! How is he still up?!" Aki yelled.
"Rena. Take Aki and get the hell out of here." I said.
"But what's about you? I can't lose you! Aki can't lose you!" Rena yelled.
"Don't worry about me! We aren't saved until Raidon is dead! I'll kill him even if it means sacrificing myself!" I said and looked at Raidon.
Rena looked at me and held Aki then rushed out of the building.
"I won't lose to you...I'll trap you in this hideout with me if I have to!" Raidon yelled.
"No...you will die in this bitch alone." I said then unholstered my pistol and reloaded it then ran to Raidon.
He ran to me and went for a punch but I evaded it. I shot his leg and he groaned then fell on one knee. I shot his shoulders then shot his other leg. I aimed my gun at his head and listened to the roof collapsing.
"You will no longer be an issue...Go to hell...Raidon." I said.
"I'll see you there, Archer." Raidon laughed and his laughing stopped after I put a bullet through his skull.
I dropped the gun and walked off. The roof fully collapsed on Raidon then I walked out of the building. Rena honked the horn of a car and I ran to it and got in. She quickly drove off and the tires began screeching. Aki cuddled against me on the backseat and I held her closely.
"We did it...We saved Aki...we took down the Yakuza...and I avenged my little sister. We fucking did it!" Rena yelled and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Aki silently cried and gripped my bloody shirt. She held me like she's never held me before. I kept holding her and looked out the window. Part of me couldn't believe my normal college life turned into me saving a woman who was roped into the Yakuza, the other part of me was glad I could save the woman I truly loved.
We made it home and I carried Aki in the house bridal style. The other women ran to us and noticed our appearance.
"Archer.." Mitsuki cried and noticed how badly injured I looked.
"We did it..." Rena said and stumbled into the house. "We...got her back and it was all thanks to Archer..."
I walked past the other women with a limp. They watched me in disbelief and were still stunned by my appearance. They noticed the wounds me and Rena sustained. I walked upstairs and carried Aki to her room. As much as I wanted to speak to them, I had to conserve my energy. I walked into Aki's room and laid her on the soft bed...I smiled at her and collapsed on the ground.
Rena told the others what exactly went down and their respect for me raised even higher. The fact I risked my life for Aki moved them to tears. Even Suki cried for me after hearing what I did to get Aki back. I had so much blood on my hands...blood I could never wipe off, but I no longer cared. I had the love of my life back with me.
A week later....
I walked down the stairs with bandages wrapped around my arm and my bag around my shoulders. I kissed Aki good morning and she got up so we could walk to the university together. After that event, we've never been more closer than we are now.
"I know you two aren't leaving without us!" Suki shouted.
We looked back at Suki and I smirked.
"Yeah we were just leaving." I teased and held Aki's hand.
"Not without us you bastard!" Suki yelled and rushed down the stairs and stood in front of me. She bounced in front of me and yelled at me.
I looked at her and smiled then looked at Momoko and Sayaki. Momoko crossed her arms over her chest and smiled. Sayaki shrugged and giggled. All of the women were much closer to me now than ever. Even though Suki hides the fact that she enjoys my company, Suki has also grown closer to me. We all walked together to the door and we left together to go to school together, but all as close friends and Aki as my soulmate.
We made it to school and everyone was on their phones shocked but the news of Raidon and his Yakuza Organization. Everyone was talking about it. Raidon was officially dead which means his Yakuza no longer exists.
"Even after everything that's happened, it still feels surreal, but I am glad that saga of my life is over...now all we have to look forward to us the trip and after today Christmas Break begins and I'm ready to spend it all with you.." Aki smiled.
"I can't wait to spend my break with you as well..~" I smiled back.
