Tokio Funka

"In a town of tricks, the dirtied haze hangs in the air.

Gathered young men smoke the purple smoke.

Their eyes empty."

Arc 1: The Anniversary.

   

"GET OUT YOU OLD FUCK!" said the bouncer as he grabbed the scruff of my robes. "Waaahhh!" I stupidly let out as I flew through the air, and landed in the mud outside the brothel. "Don't come back in here stirring trouble for us others again!" he  shouted at me, throwing my cane into my muddy face. "Heh. Not the right kind of fight I need." I said aloud to nobody in particular. Standing up, I wiped the mud off my already dingy clothes. "What a disappointment." I said, picking up my cane, and began walking down the dimly lit alley that housed the brothel I was unceremoniously thrown out of on one side, and a fish market on the other. "Fitting." I thought to myself, as I spat on the ground. Walking gingerly, I exited the alley to one of the cities main streets. As usual, when I walked around the streets of Tokio Funka publicly, it was filled with the dead silence of the early morning. Not a soul at this hour, aside from the flitting of people from one street to another;trying not to be seen. It took a lot of balls to walk around like streets at this time like I did. At least, that's what my comrades said. No, I have walked these streets without fear since before the Oni came here. Hm? What's that sound? Ah. Crying. I spied a small baby bawling at the top of it's lungs on my left side. "Scum" I growled at it, and aimed a well placed kick to it's face.

 

It was like kicking a rock, but it flew into the wall all the same. The crying stopped and I saw the child grimace towards me with a face not fit for a baby. "You horrible monster!" shrieked a nearby woman, whom after witnessing my actions, ran forward to scoop up the child in her arms. "You fucking idiot cow." I stated, the words seething out of my mouth like venom. "DROP IT NOW!" I yelled, brandishing my cane. Cooing the baby, she shot me a look of hatred. That's when the baby smiled like the demon it was. "W-W-what is this?" the young woman said nervously. I turned away from the scene before I saw something I had already many times. A great squelching sound, and a deep rumbling "Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho" was all that I heard as I walked away. Oldest trick in the book. "You'd think after forty years, these people would get it. To not trust anything. I guess...It's always going to be wishful thinking. For now." I said to myself, rounding a corner, and to anyone looking, vanishing from sight.

 

It's taken a long time, for us to build this place in total secrecy. The trick wall itself, was hidden with precision, and with usefulness in mind. The descent into our base, isn't lit whatsoever. It's pure darkness. Some would call it a design flaw, and have motioned that we get some lights in the dammed staircase. I call it a precaution. Because once you get to the end and unlock the thick slab of a door, there it is. The blinding light of our base of operations. As soon as you enter, you recoil from the light. God it's so hard to see sometimes. But as my vision comes back, I see the hopeful and eager faces of my comrades waiting for me. I began to move towards my designated seat at the back of the base. Softly clasping hands with my freinds and givng a kind smile wherever offered.  They call me "Leader", but I never ran for the position. I fell into it. The corridor of darkness, to the light when you enter, it's all a metaphor. We all have to walk through the darkness for awhile to get to the light of hope. So these people and Lesser Oni looked to me to lead them towards it. They are all family to me. I'd die for any one of them to further our cause. It's actually surprising that hasn't happened yet.

 

"Gojuro, how is your daughter? Did that medicine I get help?" I addressed a man of steely demeanor. Before he spoke, a little girl jumped out from behind  my chair and growled at me. Many people stood up in alert. I raised my hand and they settled down. "I guess that answers my question, doesn't it little Reena?  I chuckle softly to myself as I sit down. Little Reena giggled happily then jumped on my lap. "Thank you Leader! I feel so much better now!" she said hugging me tightly. I grinned, sharing her happiness. She almost didn't make it through that illness. I patted her head softly. "I can see that little one, I am very happy. But now we have to do the meeting. So keep hushed while the adults talk. Okay?" I said tapping her on the nose. She nodded excitedly, and put on the most serious face she could. I surveyed the room filled with these individuals I had gathered over thirty years. 

 

As usual, they are always silent. Nobody ever spoke up until I began. "Greetings my friends. Before you ask, tonight's recruitment drive didn't go well. but we expected that anyways. Yet it hasn't stopped some new faces from appearing here, has it?" I said smiling warmly. I looked at my new recruits. There was a boy. Who's body was bruised and beaten. I know this boy. I know of why he's here already, and so does he. The Halfbreed looked me directly in the eyes with both determination and hesitance. That's good. I want that hesitance. I want him to not fall to the darkness. There was a boatman who looked broken on the inside, but a spark of hope flared in him; and a geisha who's aura oozed vengeance and blood-lust. Then our newest Lesser Oni ally,  a kitsune who's demeanor seemed engaged, and excited to do something, if anything. I nodded at these new hopefuls. "To you new faces. Welcome, to The Sakura Rebellion. My name is Takunda Oimashu. We have a lot of work to do."

---------------------------------------

 

Well, I can't say I wasn't expecting this. Just didn't think I'd have to have it happen so soon. As of now, I'm entirely sure of what is going on beyond my body. I'm barely conscious, and left alone to my own thoughts amidst the pain. What I do know is that my arms are broken, and that I seem to be missing a leg. The left, I think. It's quite painful. In fact, it's so painful that I screamed myself hoarse and into unconsciousness. Of course, I think the repeated blows to my head would have done that anyways. To be fair, I really should be dead. But I know why I am not. Soon my captors will know why as well. "WAKE UP HUMAN" a loud guttural voice sounded, as a hand swept across my face. My eyes shot open, the pain was still there, and I regained my facilities as my blurred vision flickered towards my lower body. My leg was still there, or what seemed to be the gnawed remains of it. Lovely. My vision became clearer, as I saw the Oni who slapped me. Aha. Kurasshu. The Greater Oni whom I had freed some years ago. I smiled at him with my broken jaw, and he gave me a wide fanged grin of his own. The beast. He nodded once at me, and walked away into the crowd of humans and Oni I now saw had gathered around me.

 

Hundreds of my fellow humans peppered with both Lesser and Greater Oni surrounded me, alone and dying in the main plaza of Tokio Funkas most populous and prestigious areas, "Emperors Road". Aptly named of course, for it housed the most high class of the brothels restaurants, and shops in the whole of the city. and at the end of it was, the gates to the Palace. Looming high and towering above the rest of the buildings, it stood as a monument and testament to the strength of humans. I tried to straighten myself to be more presentable, but only flopped over onto my face; tasting the dirt mingled with my own blood. Cruel laughter and jeers came from the crowd, and I felt the hard blows of stones being thrown at my body. I didn't fault the people throwing them, they felt they had no other choice. They were all afraid. Suddenly, the air became still, and quiet. The heavy gates of the palace opened before me, and I saw the carrier being held high by several Lesser Oni.

 

They stopped a few feet in front of my mangled body. An official envoy of the emperor exited the carrier, I caught a glimpse of Emperor Wakijima as the envoy made his way out. He looked to be robust, and in good health. A stagnant lie, perpetuated by Greater Oni illusion. The envoy carried the word of the emperor in his hands. A scroll that trailed near to the ground, and all charges I assume were arguably not in my favor. The envoy also carried something else the emperor had, an Illusion. They can deny up and down, but those were not the eyes of a human. Black oil-spots bearing a greedy intelligence. The eyes of Swine. As he opened his mouth to speak, I spat with as much gusto I could. My aim was true, and it landed upon his face. His illusion flickered for a moment, to see the fat pig underneath, and the expression of rage. But it held back almost immediately. "Takunda Oimashu, you are charged with high treason, with intent to overthrow our beloved Emperor Wakijima. Other charges include, Heading a Criminal Organization, the intent of which is to undermine the Emperor Wakijima's authority and dissolve the peace we have with The Oni. Murder of multiple accounts. Tax Evasion. Transport of goods without permit..." the envoy rambled on and on for what felt like hours. I know it probably wasn't that long, but blood loss and concussion will make time feel strange to anyone.

 

"...public urination, and...defacing cattle with crude drawings of members of The Hierarchy quote: "Taking it in the ass"....How do you plead?" the Envoy asked me, while members of the crowd laughed at some of my crimes "Heh. That last one was really fun. I plead fully guilty to all charges." I said, shocking most of the crowd, along with the envoy. I actually heard the Emperor chuckle a wheeze out himself. "I..see. Well the penalty for these cumulative charges is of course, Death. Do you have any last words?" the Pig asked me, rolling up his documents. "I do, in fact. I thank you for allowing me the chance to explain myself." I began, using my one good leg to prop me against a pole so I could possibly deliver my last words with some amount of dignity. "Today marks the anniversary of the Oni coming to occupy our city of Tokio Funka. It's been forty years. While I have befriended some of you Oni, it does not excuse the crimes of your kind against mine. Together in my organization The Sakura Rebellion, however, you have proven to me that not all of you desire this way of life. Like us humans, Lesser Oni are subjugated and forced into lives none of them wish. You have all had to leave your spiritual homes, and leave your lands unguarded. But we have together proven that there is a way for us to live in peace without tyranny."

 

"My fellow humans, and comrades of which you know whom you are, know that the end of my life, will not change the fact the fight for freedom will not end UNTIL WE HAVE IT!" I roared to the skies. Man this was unpleasant, I have little time left. "Your Husbands, Friends, Wives, Children, all of you are being trodden upon by The Heirarchy and the Greater Oni regime. It's up to YOU to make this change. I shouldn't have t tell you this life is undesirable, this is something you already know. Join my Rebellion...no.. Join OUR REBELLION! For after I am gone, you all will take the reigns together. Ack-"  my speech was cut short of my coughing up blood. I might as well finish this up. "Seems like I have little time left, so here will be my last act of rebellion. TO LIFT THE VEIL OVER YOUR EYES!" with my last act of free will, I forced my arm to move. The bones cracked violently as I tried to move it, but all the same, I plunged my hand into my chest, and crushed my heart. "Fight on, my friends."

------------------------------------------------------

 

What happened next, set the city into turmoil. As soon as Oimashu crushed his own heart, something erupted from his body, and plunged itself into the Envoy. When this happened, the illusion surrounding him was lifted for all to see. A fat, snarling pig writhed about in the air, churning about upon a branch that started growing inside of him. "SQUEEEE, SQUEEEEE!" the envoy screamed. The crowd however, began screaming. "It's all a lie! The Oni are controlling the emperor!" and panicking, running for their homes. The Emperors carrier, was swiftly taken away into the safety of the palace. Several Oni tried to go for the protrusions coming from Oimashu to stop the threat. The Envoy was all but dead, feebly twitching as it's mangled remains dripped off a branch. "R-Run..." he got out with his dying breath, but it was however to late. More branches splintered off of Oimashu's body and impaled them as well. Grinding and crushing their bones as it split them apart. After awhile of growing, it finally stopped. A beautiful Sakura tree had grown where Takunda Oimashu made his last stand.

 

"FOOLS! YOU DARE STRIKE AGAINST US? ONI, RUN WILD!" bellowed a Tengu, his voice stretching across the city. Wild did they run. From that moment, the Oni did whatever they wished. Men who could not get away swiftly enough, were ripped apart in gruesome manners, and feasted upon. Women, slammed down into the street and violated amidst their screaming. All the while Oni laughed, and reveled in the destruction they were causing. Shops burned, and many lives were ended before some of them could even scream for help. It was like when the Oni first came, there was nothing stopping them. The Emperor watched from his tower, unblinking and shaking. He spied two figures standing in front of the gates. Dark Priests. They were looking directly at him. They waved, then made their way out of town. The Emperor worriedly thought to himself, this is when everything changes.

 

Throughout the chaos, eight individuals from this point on, were to be focused on soon by everyone in the city. A Noble Son, confused by what he had seen, made way for his families estate. A Crime Boss, too made her way in the same direction; her men dropping like flies around her, assaulted by weak Imps whom came in many numbers. One broke off from the pack, and set off after The Noble. A Young Kitsune, ran to seek safety in the headquarters of The Sakura Rebellion and spied A Selfish Thief, who was trying to take advantage of the chaos, but a Namahage had it's cannon aimed at the unsuspecting Thief. A Simple Woodsman, his pockets empty thanks to being unable to sell his lumber, asked A Lonely Boatman to help secure passage out of the city on the water. The fastest stream out of the city was blocked by Kappa, whom were enjoying themselves by drowning children; were not watching the smaller stream that forked out.  A Slighted Whore ran with A Unloved Halfbreed to help usher panicked citizens to the safety of one of the Sakura Rebellion's hidden bunkers, and to prove their worth to The Sakura Rebellion, unbeknownst to them, a Ubume slipped into disguise as a fellow whore carrying a child with the people they were leading to the bunker.
