After some time of driving The Anime Artists arrived at the police station and were led inside by some officers. When they got to the meeting room they had their phones taken away, as a safety precaution to keep any info from the meeting being leaked. The four then looked around for Sakura's and Botans father.

"Hey Kids over here!" they heard someone call out. They looked over and saw Sakura's and Botans father sitting at a stand offering the four of them seats. So they walked up to him and they sat down next to him, once they were seated Sakura hugged her father and he hugged her back.

"Hey how are you doing Mr. Benjior?" Aika asked.

"I've been good, by the way Aika your mother called me earlier asking if I could come over to your place to have a talk with some people she's having over there. She also told me that she'd like it if you would spend the night at a friend's place as she'll have people she doesn't want you to see again at your house. She also said she's going out on a date tonight so she'd thought you could have your first sleepover at a friend's place." Benjiro explained.

"EEHH! OMG Aika you can sleep over at my house!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly.

"R-Really? But I don't know what to do at a sleepover." Aika explained.

"Oh don't worry I've got a list of fun activities we can do at my place!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Shh Sis, look M's on screen!" Botan whispered to Sakura.

She then stopped talking and watched the screen as the letter M came on screen (btw it M is written in Japanese).

"Hello I'm M and I am here to help with the case of the strange events going around Tokyo City in the past few months." M explained.

'Hmm Okay I wonder what this guy has in store for us?' Aika thought to herself.

"As you all know I have managed to solve a variety of cases that the FBI have not solved in years. And I believe that I have been able to come up with a theory of what is going on, and I would like to make a public announcement to all of Japan to let them know about my theory." M explained.

"As you wish M we'll have this feedback go live." The commander said.

"Thank you also I wish to let everyone know who I am, by showing my face." M said.

"Um, wait what?! Botan what's going on here?!" Haru asked, surprised.

"I don't know but let's trust what he says, after all M's the best of the best kinds of detectives out there so let's trust what he says." Botan explained.

"Okay if you say so man." Haru said.

After a while a man came on screen and everyone assumed that the man was M. So they all sat back and waited to see what would happen next.

"Hello I am M and I'm here to announce this to all of Japan. As you all know a series of strange events have been happening lately. And recently a very famous Manga Artist known as Fumihito has gone missing. I want to say to the person responsible for his disappearance that what you did was evil. And that if Fumihito is found dead you will face horrific repercussions for your actions from his family. I'm sure that they would love to see him again and he would love to be reunited with them once he is found. So be prepared to face justice once you're found and arrested." The Man explained.

'Hmm okay, but what's the motivation here?' Aika asked herself.

After a few more seconds a creature that looked like a rose bush appeared right behind the man and quickly wrapped its vines around him. The man screamed in agony as he was choked by the vines and as the thorns pierced into his flesh. Everyone who was watchin screamed in horror at the scene and Benjiro covered the kids eye's not wanting them to see this.

          

After a while the screaming stopped and Benjiro uncovered their eyes. When The Anime Artists saw the man lying on the desk dead blood dripping out of all the thorn wounds he had on him. The rose creature then shriveled up and shredded itself as its task was done.

"What the fuck?!" Haru said.

"Yeah I had the same thoughts here." Aika said.

"No... no... NO M! NOOO!" Botan screamed but was stopped then the screen flickered back to the letter M.

"Huh?! Wait what?" Botan asked, surprised.

"I-I can't believe it I mean I had to test this out but I never thought it would actually work. Wow it seems that the contenders of The Artists game can send their creations out to do the job they were made to do even if a contender isn't there." M siad.

"Wait, what did he just say?!" An officer said.

Everyone else in the room started whispering to each other confused as hell about what M said.

"Oh dear what's going on here?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know but I don't like it." Aika said.

"Everyone including contenders of this game. I want to let you all know that man there, that wasn't me. He was an inmate who was scheduled to be hanged today, he was arrested in secrecy and I decided to use him to see what the creations for the artists game can do." M explained.

"Wow Okay I'm impressed this guy is good." Haru said.

"Yeah he's not the greatest detective in all of Japan for nothing." Botan explained.

"And I want to let you all know that while I said that this was a broadcast all over Japan it's only being broadcasted in a small Kanto region of Tokyo city. This is where all these strange phenomena's and murders have been happening. So I used that information to track down one of the bad guys and now I know where you are. I also want you all to know that M is real. I do exist and I will find out more about this little game. When I do I will find all the bad guys and make them pay for their crimes, along with the games operator. I will find you as well and I will have many questions to ask you. Once I do find you I will ask you my questions and you will give me my answers. Once the interview is done I will sentence you... to death for creating such a horrific game. That is all I have to say now, but you bad guys better keep your guards up as I will find you all, and you all will pay for your crimes, but for now M singing off." M said before cutting off his broadcast.

Everyone sat there in shock from what just happened. Aika, Sakura, and Haru were all impressed by M's performance and how he tricked a contender of the game to kill that inmate.

"Ahh! I told you guys M was awesome!" Botan said.

"Sakura I'm starting to think your brother is gay because of him simping for M." Aika whispered to Sakura.

"Yeah I know hehe." Sakura whispered back before giggling a little.

"I can hear the two of them, and I'm not Gay! I just think that M is amazing, besides he's probably as Old as dad." Botan explained while gesturing his arm towards his father.

"Hehe I know I'm just teasing you bro." Sakura said.

"Well I need to go meet up with Himari, and you kids go on and have some fun for the rest of the day." Benjiro said.

"Okie, thanks dad!" Sakura said.

"Yeah thanks, by the way, why does my mom want to meet with you and why doesnt she want me to come home?" Aika asked.

"She said that there will be people there that she doesn't want you seeing again so just trust her word on it. Mothers might not know everything but they do sometimes know what is best for their kids." Benjiro explained while resting his hand on Aika's shoulder.

Kanto? Like in pokèmon?
