Chapter 157 - Baki's Story - Akado w/ Baki II

Akado, Baki, Paddler and Gin climb over a fence, jump and land on a small space before a massive expressway.

Gin and Baki look around to observe the moving vehicles and the people around, seeing to their deeds.

"Where to now, Akado?" Baki asks and faces forward while he stands two steps behind her left.

"Yeah, Akado-sama." Gin supports while standing a step behind her right.

"Don't worry. I know a guy." Akado responds with a smile.

"You know guys!" Gin agitatingly asks while directly at her ear.

Baki and Paddler are surprised.

She laughs and asks while putting her head before his...

"Jealous?"

He becomes flustered and replies with a drawback...

"Wtf!"

"So mind your business." She says while walking. On the way, she centers her gaze.

"Shit." - He says within' while holding a grit and walks with his hands in his pockets. Also...with a slight upper body bend.

"You have failed!" Paddler declares and sinks into the ground.

"Wow." - Baki.

They cross the express and enter the town.

|Ashira Town|

They walk for a long while and come before a building in an isolated but not too isolated place.

|DropDead ViDeo PRoDs|

They look up at the writing above and Gin asks...

"Since when?"

She looks down and says with her eyes closed while proceeding...

"There on my case, how will you know?"

He becomes heavily flustered and goes after her, calling...

"Akado-sama!"

Baki and Paddler follow by the sides.

"You gonna make fun?" - Baki.

"I've grown." - Paddler.

The doors to the entrance are slided open to the sides by two men (using both hands)

Baki and the gang approach the open space. While so, the men stand attention.

"My Lady!"

"My Lord!"

"Lord Gin!"

They call simultaneously.

"Hey, introduce me as well! I'm Paddler. Lord Baki's Retainer!" Paddler demands as he right fists the air above.

"My Lord, is this true?" The guard by the left asks.

Baki scoffs and nods.

"Hmph!" - Gin.

Akado laughs.

They enter and the doors shut.

Around the place, are workers.

They notice them and go on their knees with their faces to the ground.

She raises her right hand and they get up.

A man makes gestures while speaking to another man in front of him. In their midst, stands a round table.

"So you won't get up and greet me, Elvin?" Akado asks and he stops.

He then slowly turns his face to the right and sees Akado with a smile.

She deepens it with intent.

His face of wonder becomes joy stricken. He gets up immediately and moves forward while asking...

"Is that you, Akado-baby?"

The other man, who holds a smile while lost, becomes shocked and falls down from his chair by the left to his knees.

He gets blasted right away into the wall behind. Head only, body faced up.

Bederou Gasuka

Age: 30

Videographer.

Gin with his open, smokey right hand and upper body, slightly bent forth, retracts and stands erect. Letting down his hand.

"Wow." - Baki.

"Damn." - Paddler.

Elvin approaches with his arms open, letting out sounds of yearn.

Akado stands still, letting out hers.

He comes closer with louder yearning sounds and levitates towards her.

Hers becomes louder as well and she levitates towards him.

They reach mid-air and hug. Right then, a bright light shines.

The light overwhelms everyone and they bear witness to its greatness.

They go: spin for spin (gradually), letting out sounds of appreciation.

It gets to a point and Elvin gets knocked down with a force, above.

He reaches and sinks head only into the floor.

The people and Akado express shock.

"Hmm." - Baki.

Gin pants hard while his upperbody and smoky, right hand remain low.

He stand erects.

"Wow." - Paddler.

Akado, while floating and looking down, breathes out from her nose with closed eyes. Then releases Dominance while opening them slightly.

The waves hit Gin and his eyes glow: gold.

Right then, he falls back first and lands on the floor like a log.

"Lmao." - Paddler.

"Best day ever." - Baki.

Akado lands before Elvin and grabs his legs. Then pulls him out.

A little time passes.

Baki and his Retainer, Akado and hers...

Gin Gasuka

•Retainer

•Shogun of the Kanju Empire.

...sit before Elvin and Bederou.

In their midst, a small rectangular table. Above it; two cups filled with juice and four, filled with wine. Together with two bottles of wine and cans of orange juice.

"This is preposterous! Elvin, why am I to drink this!" - Akado.

"Akado-sama." Gin calls with worry while bringing his body forward, looking to her by his left.

"Because you're a minor." Elvin replies with a mischievous smile.

Gin looks to him with intense eyes.

She smiles.

"Does that apply to an Empress?" She asks.

"That's right! Ask him!" Gin says. Baki and Paddler shift their eyes to him.

"Lol. Maybe not." He says and picks up a liquor cup with his left hand.

"But with me, my precious baby, I won't let get washed. Not until she's ripe enough for me to touch." He declares and drinks.

"I can see that you are very terrible." Akado declares and picks up a juice cup with her right hand.

"You deserve death!" - Gin.

Elvin chuckles after sipping and drops it with force back on the table.

Baki, Gin and Paddler sip.

Akado as well.

"That been said..." Elvin says and stretches a little back, letting out a grunt and puts his hands over his face. Then draws them down a bit, saying...

"I was caught up in a fix, looking for someone to starr in my music video. I'm so glad you came..." He says, puts down his hands and bows before Baki with his hands on his thighs, calling...

"Lord Baki."

"Huh?" - Baki.

He then puts his left index before his chest and asks...

"Me?"

"What do you want my Lord to do?" Paddler asks.

"It's simple. Just follow my instructions and nothing will go wrong." He declares while looking at them.

"Me and Gasuka-kun here, will supervise. All you have to do, is look pretty. Someone of your status is sure to make wonders." He finishes.

"I would have asked to pay me but Akado won't like it so... I'll oblige." He says with confidence and a smile as Akado blinks multiple times at him with a smile on her face while holding her hands down.

She faces front.

"Thank you so much, my Lord." Elvin says and bows again.

"Let's get started." - Baki.

A song plays in the background with a man rapping and singing. As well as a woman, harmonizing.

The workers prepare things, the green screen and what-not while Elvin applies make-up to Baki with his left hand.

On his right: a pallette.

Somewhere nearby, the boys watch and laugh while Akado aimlessly floats (horizontally) around.

"Is this your song?" - Baki.

Elvin stops his painting and says with a grin...

"Hell yeah."

"It's beautiful." - Baki.

The boys' laughter come greater as Elvin applies red lipstick on Baki with his right hand.

"Should I take care of them?" - Elvin.

"No. Leave them." Baki says and opens his eyes. Elvin takes down the lipstick and Baki says after a smirk...

"Let's get started."

Camera's roll and scenes begin to record.

One-one take each.

"Damn Baki, you're a natural!" - Elvin.

"Why won't I be?" Baki says with pride and the people laugh.

More scenes take place. All in one take: recorded. And the people applaud as Baki goes around feeling the power.

Eventually, all comes to an end.

The 'upload' button upon a phone on a table, is pushed with a right index. And the video is sent to the net.

The people's phones get beeps.

"Wow, it's Elvin again!" - Man I

The video is played and Baki comes in with the elegant push of two doors outward. Granting him entrance to a large corridor from the room. As he does, he lip syncs.

"No! It's Lord Baki!" A woman says with immense happiness and the world goes crazy.

Lyrics:

Circling the path of fame, I wonder

Would I ever, ever find myself?

This world is so, so much better

I kind of hate wherever I came from.

Oh! (Uwa, uwa, uwa!)

Let me be, ei!

Let me be myself, chei!

What is your problem with what I do!

(If I should perish, let it happen) (Ra-hahhhh!)

Talk your talk, let me talk mine!

I feel this settle in my spine! (Ahhhh!)

I have no plans, I'm not able to (Not able toooo!)

Just do what the fuck I want to.

I know it sounds lame, it doesn't look right

This sense of freedom brings up the fright

And every nation that bows before me...

Get the feeling of living of me!

(Get the feeling!)

Circling the path of fame, I wonder

Would I ever, ever find myself? (Fi-Fi-Find meeee!)

This world is so, so much better

I kind of hate wherever I came from.

Oh! (Uwa, uwa, uwa!)

Let me be, ei!

Let me be myself, chei!

What is your problem with what I do!

(If I fall, don't pick me up!) (Ra-hahhhheiii!)

(Dorododo. Ah, ah. Dodododo. Pah, pah. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!)

"(Ohhhhhhhhhhh!)" - Elvin

"Speak to me, speak to me!

I wanna feel, I wanna feel!

Give it to me, give it to me!

Look me in the eye!" - The Woman.

Circling the path of fame, I wonder

Would I ever, ever find myself?

This world is so, so much better

I kind of hate wherever I came from.

Oh! (Uwa, uwa, uwa!)

Let me be, ei!

Let me be myself, chei!

What is your problem with what I do!

(If I should perish, let it happen)

"(Let it happen)" Elvin whispers.
