When Victor was a small child, his parents perished in a fire.Before his house was burned to a crisp, he saw someone in his house, as he went to ask who this person was, the house caught on fire and engulfed his parents in the fire.After that fateful day, Victor swore to find who was in his house that day.He was moved from an orphanage to orphanage as a kid.Because of that, he never made any friends or connections to people growing up as a child.At this point, he was 16.Eventually, he ran away from an orphanage, to never to be found again.See since he had no friends, all he ever wanted to do is break out of the orphanage and find his parents’ killers.Since he had so much time on his hands, all he ever did was read any textbook he could find.He would also hit the gym every day for 8 hours, no matter what.Because when he eventually did break out, he needs to be fit and have stamina if he wanted to say out there.Before he can do that he needs all the cash he can find.One day, a woman walked into the room, Victor was sitting in the corner of the room building a Switchblade.The woman walks toward him and tapped him on his shoulder,”What do you have there?” she asks.


“A switchblade,” replied Victor.


“Now why would you need something like that?” inquired the woman.


“Because-”, Victor brings out his switchblade and puts it to her throat,”I intend it get out of this place.”


He holds her hostage until he gets out of the building, the minute he comes out of the building, he gets onto a bicycle and rides away as fast as he can, and as far as he can go.

 

He looks around for road signs or anything to indicate where he is right now.”I am at Saitama street, that means, I have 3 more blocks to go!”, thinks Victor.


He rides his bike down 3 blocks and he sees it.The burnt down building, or should I say his former house.Victor scavenges through the debris hoping to find it.Then he strikes gold, he finds the trapdoor chain.He pulled on it with all his might.The door slowly creaks open, revealing a dark and gloomy stairway.He enters into the passage, each step he takes makes the stairs creak.This eerie noise echoes through the staircase.Victor walked down the stairs into the room that awaited him.Victor, now in the room, goes toward the box that was at the base of his feet.He opened the box, to find the box was overflowing with cash.”So this is where my parents kept there saving,” he thought out loud.


Right next to the box, there was a puddle.He examined his face.He had electric blue eyes, a somewhat oval face, with dirt smeared all over his face.He examines his hair, which was all tangled and glossy black.He thinks to himself, “I need to take a shower right now.”

 

Later that day…

Victor is riding down the street, not sure what to do now he has broken out of the orphanage.”How will I ever figure out who killed them?” he wonders


Just as he finishes that thought, he hears a someone scream "SOMEONE HELP ME!"


Victor immediately rides his bike as fast as he can toward the general area of the noise. When he finally arrives at the location, he is appalled to find 2 guys ganging up on a poor defenseless woman.Victor is not sure what to do, he can call the police, however by the time he does that it might be too late.So, he decides, he must take action into his own hands.He goes up to one of the goons and cracks the goon's neck.When goon number 2 realizes what is going on, it is too late, Victor brings out his switchblade and slits the goon's throat.Victor looks down at the 2 men he has killed in shock.


"What have I done?" Victor asks himself in horror.


The woman whose life he had just saved has a horrified look on her face. Victor sits there thinking about what he had just done,"Did I do the right thing, killing them?" He asks the woman.


The woman replies with, "If you hadn't killed them, they would have killed me, so, even though it is hard to get over, I-I think you did the right thing."


Victor thinks about this, "She is right, I did do the right thing killing those criminals, they did not deserve a second chance.I should not stop here, I will keep on killing these scum, eventually, I will get rid of all the scum, or they will be too afraid to ever commit a crime!"


Victor gets up and rides away on his bike looking for more criminals.

 

2 years later...

 

"Welcome back to channel 53 news, where today, I Takahiro Yamada, will expose a killer that has been lurking among us for a very long time.This- this thing has killed so many people in a relatively short amount of time.My research team and I have liked him to more than 250 murder cases!He is like a plague, he is Nashi, at least that is what I am calling him from now on.Nashi comes from the Japanese word for plague.I believe that it is a human plague, and I will stand by that statement.Thank you for watching and don’t go away, we will be right back!” Victor switched off the T.V.


Victor now horrified thinks, "They know that I exist, and that damn T.V reporter told everyone about me!I have to kill her before she figures out who I am."


He gets on his bicycle and rides over to the T.V station waiting for Takahiro to come out.When she finally does come out, he follows her until she comes to her house.


"You're Nashi aren't you?" Questions Takahiro.


Victor is shocked,"How did she know that I was tailing her?"He thought.


"I know that you are around the corner, just come out already."


Victor does come around the edge, only to be greeted by a loaded gun pointed toward his face.


Victor ducks under the gun and delivers an uppercut, Takahiro drops the gun.Victor scatters behind him to grab the gun.BANG!Takahiro drops to the ground with a thud.The blood seeps from the gunshot in her head.Victor bolts to his bike and rides away before a crowd gathers around the body.

 

Later that day...


Kazuya Yamada, a world-renowned detective has been called to lead the investigation of the murder of his sister, or should I say, Takahiro Yamada.Kazuya examines the ground near the body, he finds 1 gun shell, but no gun."The Bullet that shot Takahiro must be a through and through since there is an enter and exit wound.",he deduced.


He checks under the chin of the victim, and sure enough, there is a fist mark there, still fresh.Looking at all the evidence, Kazuya deduced that Takahiro was disarmed by an uppercut because is the murderer had a gun, he would simply shoot her.Instead, the perpetrator did an uppercut, grabbing the gun which the victim most likely dropped, then proceeding to shoot her.Kazuya is certain that the perpetrator must be Nashi since Takahiro had just done a expose on Nashi that very day.Kazuya requests that he gets all the research that Takahiro and her research team had found on Nashi.They had found that most of his victims either had died from a slit throat or blunt force trauma.He also found that they had a sketch of Nashi which they had gathered from the witnesses description.Nashi had Electric blue eyes, smooth black hair, and he wore a mask that covered his face from the nose down."Victor, mark my words, I will hunt you down for what you have done to my sister, and finish what I started.",he remarked.

 

Back to Victor...

 

Victor comes back to where his house used to be, opens the trap door, and scrambled in a hurry down the stairs."I have been almost 6 hours since I killed Takahiro, there is no way that they can link it to me right?"He thinks out loud.


He sits down on the couch and switched the T.V on.


"It has been confirmed from detective Kazuya that Nashi was the one to in fact killed Takahiro.",blared the T.V.
"How could he have possibly figured it out already, I have to join the task force that he is leading, that way I would know everything they know." thought Victor.

 

2 days later...Victor arrives at a police department and informs one of the officers that he has information on Nashi that he would like to personally inform Kazuya about.The police officers check the background of Victor, since he had an incident at the orphanage when he escaped, they sent armed personal with him.Just in case things got out of hand, they had been given the authority to kill him.Victor is then loaded onto a truck to go to Kazuya.The truck starts to move."I didn't think that they would actually take me to Kazuya, especially after the incident at the orphanage.",thought Victor.


However, in the middle of the ride, he notices that they are heading away from the city into the wide open space, where there is barely any houses.until eventually there is nothing around other than huge open fields, with no one around.


"Damn it!They aren't taking me to Kazuya are they, They are going to kill me out here in the open fields.There are no witness or any cameras.It is the perfect spot for an execution!"He thought.


"Hey, you aren't going to take me to Kazuya are you, you are going to kill me out here right?"He asked.


"How did you figure it out?"Asked one of the operatives.


"Well, since I am going to die anyway, will you tell me where Kazuya really is?"Asked Victor


"Well I guess there is no harm in telling you now, he was in the building you came in, he was in the floor above you.",stated one of the operatives.


Victor, now having acquired this information, proceeds to grab a gun that one the guards had, and shot him in the head.He then proceeded to take the butt of the gun and ram it into the head of another guard.He grabs a shotgun that one of the guards had, and shoots it into the driver's seat, killing the driver.The guard in the passenger's seat jumps out of the van, in fear of his life.Victor, now in control of the van, turns it around and drives it as fast as it can back to the city.Once he is in the city, he goes to the police station that he was escorted from and drives into the entrance of the building.He grabs the shotgun and runs upstairs where Kazuya is.When he reaches up there and sees Kazuya's face, the whole world seems to slow down.It didn't matter that the police that was guarding Kazuya was probably going to kill him because, Kazuya's face, is the face that Victor saw that day when his house burned down, along with his parents.Victor grabs the shotgun and attempts to shoot Kazuya, however, the gun is empty.So Victor disarms the police officer that is closest to him and shoots him.He then grabs a police officer to his right by the collar and uses the butt end of his gun to smash his nose.He finally uses the gun to shoot the remaining officers.


"Victor, you are stronger than the last time I saw you.",stated Kazuya.


"You-you killed my parents, you bastard!"Victor attempts to shoot Kazuya only to find that the gun is empty.So, he throws the gun at his face.Kazuya howls in pain, holding his bloody nose,"You little brat, I should have killed you along with your pesky little parents!"


Victor screams at Kazuya,"Why did you do it, why did you have to kill them?"


"Because", replied Kazuya," they were trying to have me imprisoned, and they had some evidence, that could put me away for a very long time.So, as they say, I got rid of 2 birds with 1 stone."


Victor Punches Kazuya grabbed a pen next to him and stabbed it into Kazuya's heart.Kazuya lays there, bleeding out and coughing blood,"Now since you have killed me, every police department, gang, and mafi-"Victor grabs a nearby pistol and shoots Kazuya in the head before he could complete that sentence.
Victor hurries downstairs to get in a police cruiser.He notices that there are already police and SWAT here at the scene.Victor drives as fast as he can toward the closes bridge.He has a plan that might be crazy enough to work.As he dodges a SWAT van, a police car from the back rams him, sending him hurtling toward the railing. A door from the nashi’s car comes unhinged, as the car his the railing of the bridge, a car that was next to him had an engine that was shot from a stray bullet. That car exploded, giving the victor’s car a push that flipped it over the edge of the bridge. As the car was falling to its watery demise, Victor contemplates what he has done, did he do the right thing, killing all those criminals? Would his parents be proud? The car explodes before it hits the water, ending his life.

 

1 day later…

 

Victor washes up onto a beach, barely conscience, wondering how he was still alive.He dragged his broken body to the closest hospital and collapses on to front doors.Right before he collapses from exhaustion, he whispers,”The plan worked.”
