"What are you doing here? You shouldn't know where this place is," Jesse says. The large man grins. He lifts up a bouquet of the flowers Dai'chi was looking for. Dai'chi quickly spins around, ready to fight. Right behind him, he sees Satoshi towering over him.
"I decided to follow Dai'chi here earlier. I saw these flowers, and they reminded me of the destruction of kingdoms. I liked it, so I decided to start collecting all of these flowers that I could find," Satoshi says.
Dai'chi relaxes and takes his hand off the hilt of his sword. He sighs, realizing that it wasn't an enemy. "I thought someone was about to attack us. Jesse responded in such a wary tone that I thought it was an enemy. Those are some nice flowers you have," Dai'chi says. He looks at the bouquet of black and red flowers for a few moments. He realizes that the bouquet is of the flowers he's looking for. "THOSE ARE THE SAME DAMN FLOWERS THAT I'VE SPENT THE LAST HOUR LOOKING FOR!" Dai'chi yells.
Satoshi looks at the bouquet of flowers, slightly shocked. "Have I really been here for over an hour picking these flowers? Time sure does fly by sometimes," Satoshi says. Dai'chi puts his hand on his forehead and shakes his head. He sighs.
"Wow, Satoshi sure did make you waste the last hour of your time. It's not like you were going to spend it doing anything important, though. I guess you wasted your own time first by picking the wrong flower; you should have just grabbed both flowers and not have risked it," Jesse says.
"These flowers just look so nice. I feel at peace while I look at them. It reminds me of a burning kingdom that got destroyed because they were arrogant and thought that they would stand a chance against me. The black represents a void, which is where all hope goes when in my presence," Satoshi says. His statement makes Dai'chi feel uneasy about the deranged statement.
"So, Satoshi, can I have one of those flowers? The whole reason Dai'chi and I are here is that I needed one of those. So could you calmly give me a single one of those, and I will be on my way," Jesse says. Satoshi looks at him.
"No," Satoshi says. Jesse stares at him. "I said no." Jesse continues to stare at Satoshi, saying nothing. "Alright, fine, you don't have to shout at me," Satoshi says. He gives Jesse one of the flowers.
"I can't believe that I wasted the past hour, looking for a flower, that Satoshi had the whole time. That was just such a useless way to spend my time. How did you get here though? I teleported to this place," Dai'chi says.
"I was exploring, and then I got lost. I ended up in this hot universe and found this planet. I went to this planet and ended up seeing Dai'chi. After he teleported away, I saw this flower. I got inspired by it and started collecting all of them," Satoshi says. Dai'chi sighs. Another unknown person walks up.
"There you are, Satoshi. You have a bit of debt, you still have to pay off your gambling debt," the person says. They walk towards them. The person is around 6 feet tall, and they are more on the muscular side. Their hair is brown and goes down a bit farther than their neck. They are wearing a black trench coat. They pull on the ends of each sleeve before they stop walking. "When are you planning on paying it back?" they continue.
"Pay it back?" Satoshi says, amused. "What makes you think that I would do that? You should have thought about that before you let me go into debt," Satoshi says. He grins in the direction of the debt collector. The debt collector instantly appears in front of Satoshi and punches him in the face. Satoshi responds by punching the Debt Collector back in the face. The debt collector smiles at Satoshi, being nearly unfazed by the attack. He responds by upcutting Satoshi. Satoshi goes slightly into the air. Satoshi comes back down, attacking downwards with both hands. The collector dodges the attack and punches Satoshi in the face again.
"Is that all you got? If you want to get out of paying off your debt, then you have to do better than that," He says. Satoshi kicks the collector's leg. He hits downwards with both hands, this time hitting the collector to the ground. The collector flips around and kicks Satoshi in the face. He jumps backward. He and Satoshi both light cigars. "Just give the money, and this all will be settled. My client is a businessman. Give him his money, and he'll leave you alone. Don't pay, and he'll have you killed," the collector says.
"Sounds interesting, but I have a third option. If I kill all of you, then I keep my money and I'll get more out of the deal," Satoshi says. He walks towards the collector. The collector sighs.
"I was hoping we could settle this like gentlemen. It's a shame I'll have to see someone as strong as you die due to being foolish," The collector goes in and attacks again. Satoshi goes for another low kick, but the collector lifts his leg to avoid it. While the collector is off balance, Satoshi headbutts him. He grabs the collector's trench coat and just starts punching him. The collector gets out a final few words. "Killing me will do nothing to save you; my comrades will still manage to take you out in the end. We never let anyone leave alive," The collector says as his final words. Satoshi lands the final punch, killing the debt collector. Dai'chi walks towards Satoshi.
"I guess we should head back to the base now. Iori wanted us back soon because of the debt collectors coming for you. We should head back to the base now," Dai'chi says. Satoshi turns around.
"I guess we can head back now. I collected a lot of these flowers and now I want to put them in my room," Satoshi says. They both walk over to Jesse. He creates a magic circle, and they all teleport to the base.
