Volume 3 - Closer

Closer

“You know the closer You get to something, the tougher it is to see it”
~Inoue Joe

*Cut through multiple scenes quickly with Irakura's voice interspersed*
[A group of kids are out at night, and a group of police walk up to them, and the kids run off, scared]
Irakura: A curfew-
[Some people are walking through a checkpoint, where they're searched, and asked where they're going, and why]
Irakura: Additional checkpoints-
[Chief Soto is seen in front of many more police then previously seen]
Irakura (in the palace Throne-Room): And many more police. I only have one more precaution against Sparrow.

Scene 2, The Grand Plaza
Irakura: I have a deal, for Canon! I will grant You amnesty, and will reward You, if You bring me Sparrow!
Crowd of People: *interested chatter*
The Prince: that goes for anyone! I will give the one who brings me Sparrow whatever they want, up to an entire city!

Scene 3, Canon's apartment
Atsura: Are You going to take his deal?
Canon: Sparrow may be the worse of two evils, but Irakura's still evil. I'm not taking any deal he makes. Besides, I already have a deal with our friend, Chief Soto...

Scene 4, Sparrow's Hideout
Sparrow: *slams a fist into the wall, made of brick* AGGHH! They've caught Yaba?
Maru: Yeah. They almost got me too!
Sparrow: Ugh! The Prince is really closing in on us now... it;s getting hard to do anything now. We have to do something to show them We're still in control, even if We're really not.
Maru: What?
Sparrow: *wicked grin*
[Suddenly, a bunch of police burst in. Sparrow and his men are forced to flee.]

Scene 5, A New Base of Sparrow's
Sparrow: We can't even stay in the same place... I know... we'll strike at the police!

Scene 6, Outside a Warehouse
[Chief Soto leads a group of police into the warehouse, which explodes a moment later]

Scene 7, Sparrow's New Base
Sparrow: We'll kill the Chief. He should be dead, right about now! *laughs*

Scene 8, Canon's Apartment
Canon: I was content to watch things develop until now. But now, Sparrow's attacked our friend Chief Soto. I won't stand for this. We're going after him personally, instead of waiting for Irakura to draw his net slowly around him.
