Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Going is South is Safe Right?
~Soul POV~
Ugh…
Waking up soon after I began to get myself together again as I began to stand up and get my bearings together. Getting myself back up again I found myself… dry?
I remember…
Wait.
Managing to get myself together again I see that [Foo Fighters] isn't around as I look at my hands as I began to talk to myself weirdly, "Whoa… I never knew having a parasite having to live in your body is weird…?"
Glancing at my hand I began to call out [Foo Fighters] as some black or green substance of water coming out from the pores of my skin that is used when people begin to release sweat or oil from the body.
*Squish*
Once more this is by far the most freaky thing I see having to see a black coating around my arm seeing the substance at hand but also feeling pretty good about myself at the same time seeing this.
So this is what it feels like to have armor around you for once.
Even if it's wet.
*Squish*
That was when the water substance then changed into a smaller upper portion of the body of [Foo Fighters] as it appeared before me as I spoke surprised, "Whoa! That surprised me out of nowhere. But is this what Eddie Brock felt having Venom pop up like this? Now then [Foo Fighters] help me out with something like my breathing ok?"
The Stand nodded its head as it began to sink into my body again through the pores of my skin…
Still a weird feeling honestly but hey at least I have the same Destructive Power: B rank when fused and unlike the original F.F. I can control him and fight as one. But the speed is a downside though.
Taking this time I began to take a deep breath as I felt [Foo Fighters] is helping me circulate the blood in my body to my lungs carrying the oxygen as I try to focus the power of Hamon….
*Bzzt*
Feeling a new course of power enter my body I began to see small sparks of electricity around me but only faintly as it was gone I sigh to myself, "Sigh… at least I can do Hamon. But I need to practice more on it. Baby steps Soul, I just unlocked it no way I was going to master it as it took months or years for the Joestars to do it."
Feeling my fingers I pointed towards the open window at the outside-
Wait a minute…
I never opened the window….
Narrowing my eyes at this I began to get out of the bathroom as I began to look around my room to then check to see my bag is gone!
Fuck!
Quickly going over the place I began-
"No."
Till I heard a sudden voice from somewhere nearby as I then see a trail of water- no plankton come off from the ceiling as I see my bag intact as I grab it as I search through it, "Hamon Manual, Revolver, Bullet Shells, Dust, and finally the blueprints. Oh, thank goodness."
That was when I saw some portion of [Foo Fighters] head begin to speak up as it spoke quite an interested tone to me, "No worries master. The thieves didn't manage to find you and fool them using the shower thinking you were active. Some people came through the windows."
Nodding my head at this I'm not going to question how even [Foo Fighters] gained intellect. I mean it did fuse with me that was how the original F.F. managed to get some knowledge I guess it did the same with me.
Agreeing to my answer, I heard F.F. reply already knowing what was in my thoughts as my Stand began to speak, "If you were thinking I got intellect from you then yes. Although I would recommend leaving someplace else? Thieves come here ya know?"
*Splat*
Seeing that [Foo Fighters] is gone even my Stand even gives me own warnings as well.
But at least it's for my safety.
Grabbing my bag, I have to find some other places to go towards anywhere from here but…
How is the question since I'm filling in a crime-infested area but the real question is how should I live exactly? Those gang members aren't going to take kindly to me messing with their business and their clients.
However, I think otherwise since it's naïve to think that I can get away from the Spider Gang Syndicate. I get from even thinking to hide in this Kingdom in this place of Mistral against a literal Crime Syndicate.
For now, though I should probably go back to see what I can do about some work honestly and probably figure out how old I am exactly. Trying to find that out would be easier or at least trying to find out who Soul Silver was should be a good start.
Except for the fact that I'm maybe being hunted by these so-called Spiders and Parrot Gangs happening lately. And why did the previous mission say revival as well?
Many things aren't adding up in this god damn city but the very least thing I should do is find some cash for now. As I am now what I need is work and not only that but I need to find out more about this world.
The CCT from my scroll is a good start but finding out about the other info is what I need. Remembering a bit the people of Kuroyuri called me by race an Atlesian those are people only associated with the Kingdom of Atlas.
Or is it Mantle since technically that is the original Kingdom and the flying oversized City is Atlas?
Whatever the case is I happen to be in Mistral and not in Atlas so that leads me to believe something happens to the previous guy's body either A he was forced to leave or B he had gone into hiding?
Whatever the case may be however I don't need to stay in this Kingdom for long as I would rather not get involved much in this kind of business if at all possible. Hell, I haven't even trained in Hamon yet or gotten used to [Foo Fighters] inside my body yet.
Fortunately for me though I have options to choose from rather than staying here.
Well, the case in point is that I can't stay here any longer guess it's time I start searching around for a bit before something really bad happens. And I was getting over scammed over a 1000 Lien from the Landlord I think when I bought the room.
Tch.
Talk about really bad service.
Either way, I can't simply stay here and train otherwise it will be a real pain to figure out what exactly should I do to train if people are after me. The next best bet would be to escape from Mistral either to a new city or build a place on my own to live.
Hmm…
With options limited how about I try my luck in the southern region of the Mistral Kingdom.
As much as I would like to go around and explore and train I would rather need to save my hide first as I see my Scroll only to sigh at the screen, "Sigh… of course when I needed your phone you go and die on me. Great."
I swear my luck seems to be pretty shitty and I don't want those thieves to come out again so I'm better off going on my own. At least I hope there is some kind of work I have to do at least.
With that, I grab my belongings and started to head toward the southern region of the Mistral Kingdom.
What could the worse possibly happen?
Can't be any worse where I am already at this point.

~Third POV~
Kuchinashi…
Full of thieves and assassins, this is a region where the people can be just as, if not more, dangerous than the Grimm. Just make sure you don't stick up your nose too far where it doesn't belong...
Kuchinashi is a city in the Kingdom of Mistral. It is located to the south of the main City of Mistral. A seemingly endless labyrinth of dark, twisting, and turning streets, it is the home of every pirate, brigand, assassin, thief, vagabond, an evil-doer for hundreds of miles around.
The city of Kuchinashi is a city tucked into the open mouth of the mountains, referred to as an egg in a viper's nest in the local region.
From a distance, the neon lights of the city can shine through the ever-present fog and rain in the region, thanks to the area's weather systems rolling in and being broken up by the mountains of Anima.
The city has anti-air artillery as a form of defense, alongside various sirens and air horns that can travel through large distances. Due to its distance from the capital, the city is farther from the governing council's watch.
This makes it an ideal location for thieves, assassins, and other people who wish to remain hidden from the authorities. Because of this, Kuchinashi has become well known for its corruption, poverty, and crime waves.
The city is filled with bright, neon lights of business advertisements, outfitting onto the contrasting traditional Eastern architecture that makes up the majority of the buildings seen.
It is old, mysterious, and most people in Kuchinashi are either in constant direct contact with or in service to the criminal enterprise of Mistral. Even the honorable civilians in the city who are trying to make an honest living are aware of who their patrons are. Endless back alleys stretch across the city, making it a maze.
…
While Soul was making his way towards the southern area of Mistral Kingdom worst of the worst underbelly of the Kingdom has to offer on his way there he kept his distance from people as he continues to go forward.
On his way, he meets with a knocked-out man bleeding out as he hurries along with concern but also worry in his voice as Soul talked to him with caution, "Holy shit! What the hell happened to you man you look like some- "
"Cough!"
However, that was when Soul's words cut short hearing the man's coughing out loud as Soul checked the man's head was bleeding. Since the man was still unconscious, he began to think to himself as he heals the man using [The Cure] in a serious tone, 'It might benefit me to help the guy out. If I did so, then I can freely ask what happened to him and ask a little bit more of what's going on around Mistral.'
Once Soul was done healing the man in question looking quite surprised he glanced at Soul with caution in his eyes as he asked bluntly and directly to him, "Wha? Oh… what do you want kid? Looking to get a reward for helping old TM out?"
Tilting his head at this he helped the young gentlemen up as he replied honestly what he wanted to hear from him, "Yeah, I kind of was. Just some information about what happened and what to expect from the south seeing you were hurt. Also, TM what is that supposed to be your nickname or something?"
A small laugh escaped the young man's mouth as he began to reply to Soul's question in amusement in his tone of voice, "Hohoho! Well, I'll be damn you don't know where is ya going do ya? Since you saved my hide. Since you did save me from poisoning myself I'll lead you towards the sewer's best and safe place right now. Fucking Hana and Wave bastards I'll tell ya."
Raising his eyebrow at that Soul merely complied and follow the young-looking gentlemen but there was one thing he knew right away from the man as he smiled, 'He's a pretty good liar this TM guy is doing. Almost natural even. Better to watch my back around this guy. But whose the Wave and Hana guys he mentions?'
