The Ultimate Hunt {DRV3 AU}

Come To My Basement *wink wink*

Korekiyo invited Rantaro out the back. Rantaro could help noticing the way Korekiyo hands would slowly move towards his face. Was Korekiyo still worried about Rantaro? Why?.

They came to a black metal door. It honestly looked like a prison door. Rantaro regarded it with skepticism. "What's that for?" He asked.

Korekiyo covered his mask with his hand. "That leads down to the cellar. Once we're done here, I'd actually like to show you that."

The green haired boy drifted around the back room, gazing at all the artifacts. He tried to put Korekiyo's strange nature behind him and just thank the boy for showing him all this.

An ancient stone plate caught Rantaro's eye as he went to admire it. He recognised the clay as native to Ancient Egypt, making a comment about it to Korekiyo. The masked boy was delighted yet again, hastily telling Rantaro about all of his findings on Ancient Egypt, and how he was the one who studied it for months on end.

Rantaro laughed before telling Korekiyo about how he used to visit Ancient Egypt on his travels a lot. He'd climb into pyramids and eventually they gave him special access due to his ultimate adventurer title.

They roamed around a little more, talking about their experiences and comparing them to each other.

Eventually, Rantaro mentioned the topic of his missing sisters.

"You've... Lost a sister...?" Koorekiyo asked. He leaned forward.

"No... Not just one, aha..." Rantaro rubbed the back of hisa neck and darted his eyes towards the floor. The situation Korekiyo presented was awkward. "I've.. Actually lost all twelve of my siblings..."

Korekiyo covered his mask with his hand. "Twel- Twelve? That's.. I apologise for your loss. I also had a sister.... Though she is long dead.... Sometimes, I still think I could see her... I miss her..."

The two boys stood there for a few minutes, silently contemplating their lives. "Anyways, let me show you the cellar." Korekiyo chimed.

"Aha... As long as you don't lock me down here or something, then sure." Rantaro half smiled at Korekiyo, who lead him to down to a wooden door.

"Uhm." Korekiyo paused before opening it. "Some of the other guests may not give you a warm welcome. Do not let them bother you."

Rantaro didn't have time to process Korekiyos statement before the door was opened at he was met with a luxurious olden styled living room. He didn't have to time to completely process that either, because someone was charging towards him, pulling him into a chair and holding a flashlight to his face.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" A deep voice spoke. Rantari couldn't exactly see the figure, as he had a flashlight in his face.

"Ah! No, no, Ryoma. He is fine, he's with me." Korekiyos voice spoke out. The flashlight dissappeared from his face and Rantari spent a few moments blinking and adjusting his eyes to the light.

When he did come though, he saw a small figure it front of him, holding a beanie over his head. "If Korekiyo says you're good, I guess you're good. He's one of the only sane people in this place."

Rantaro wondered what he meant by one of the only sane people. A loud and bang echoed to the side of him and Rantaro wildly looked around for the noise. He identified some stairs where the noise was coming from.

"Angie says hi!!" A head popped out from the staircase, although it was upside down. Blond hair ran down from the figures chestnut skin.

Ryoma only sighed.

"Whattttt!!!! Is there a new person here!!!" A loud voice echoed through the 'house?' followed by lots of thumping and running. A black haired figure tumbled down the stairs and before Rantaro could see if she was okay, she sprung to her feet. "Ufh, it's another degenerate male! Cmon, you should know we've got enough already."

Rantaro turned to Ryoma, the closest person. "How many people do you have in this house?... Is this even a house, what is this, I thought this was a cellar."

Ryoma chuckled, though his laugh was deep. "Well, you've met most of them. Angie will constantly talk about Atua, but other then that's she's fine...." Ryoma stopped talking for a few seconds, thinking about the logistics of Angies existence. "Although I did see her do a staring match with Yuri, my cat, so I don't know how human she is. And she beat me in tennis once." He frowned. "Which was freaking weird since I'm the tennis pro or whatever."

"Tennis... Pro...." Realisation dawned on Rantaro. "So you're all ultimates?"

"No shit." Ryoma replied, tugging his hat down further. "... Also, your not with them are you?" Ryomas words were lined with malice.

"I, don't know what you're talking about..."

Ryoma huffed, sitting down on the couch and gesturing for Rantaro to sit next to him. Rantaro gingerly sat down as Ryoma began speaking.

"Government, or rather 'Hope's Peak', officials have started taking things into their own hands. They.... There using other ultimates to try to catch us. I only know because they tried to catch me too. "

"Other Ultimates?" Rantaro questioned.

"Yeah. It's..." Ryomas gaze travelled "Its... Fucked.... That's why we've all been hiding here..."

Ryoma laughed sarcastically. "And we're already tearing at the seams here, imagine what a crowded spaceship is gonna do to us..."

"Ha.. Yeah..." Rantaro couldn't share Ryoma's enthusiasm. "So why did you bring me here."

"Oh. Well, basically to tell you to look out and stay on guard for the other ultimates, lest they betray you." Korekiyo finally piped up. "We would offer you to stay here but..." He took a look at the stair where more noise was coming from. "We've got too many ultimates already. Besides, I bet you've got your own life sorted out. And I don't think Miss Togo can deal with anymore people."

"Miss Togo? Who's that?" Rantaro asked. As if on cue, a grey haired tall woman stepped down from the stair, wearing a luxurious grey and white dress.

"That would be me." Her commanding voice was filled with confidence, though her eyes were warm and welcoming. "Though please. Call me Kirumi."
