Episode 3
His name was Ryo. Ryo. He did not know why, maybe because it was cool, maybe because his mother picked it for him. That was unclear to him.
Once again, Ryo was doing his job as a dishwasher. Yes, a dishwasher. Not everyone is special enough to perform a machine’s job. Anyway, Ryo felt he was incomplete as a dishwasher and wanted to pursue more ambitious dreams.
While wondering in an avenue called Internet, Ryo found a strange place. Entering it, he found himself in a dark alley, whose common name was Animeb. Not many people would drop by, but Ryo felt confident about passing by.
As he went through the dark alley, Ryo came across a strange hermit whom called himself Bobcat. Bobcat was a wise being whom saw Ryo as a soul who needed direction and beckoned for him to join a club called the HKSS.
Ryo was not certain of the strange hermit at first. Looking into Bobcat's eyes, Ryo soon began to think differently for perhaps he would be able to find his dream with this hermit.
And so, Ryo then agreed to join the hermit and his strange little gathering of beings known as the HKSS.
However, noticing Ryo and his potential, a shadow paid him a visit. The shadow's name was Silver, known as the ORG’s leader and Silver wished to talk with Ryo, as in demanding explanation why he had taken so long.
Ryo was perplexed. Who was this strange person? What was he talking about? Silver showed Ryo a strange dungeon, from where the alley would go to.
While following Silver, Ryo would make the questions "Who are you?" and "What must I do?", and would obtain as an answer “Silver” and “stuff... secret stuff”.
Ryo grew more and more confused as they traveled down the strange dungeon and as the shadow known as Silver continued to mumble about, "secret...stuff, and cookies."
Once reached the bottom of it, Silver entered a strange silver room. It was round and in the middle of it, there was a floating object glowing white light. Silver told Ryo he would be assigned for a very important mission. The mission involved the protection of the floating object from a group of Nana-ninjas known as the ASR.
Ryo looked in confusion at the object before reaching out for it. The object flashed for an instant before resting in Ryo's hands, and the shadow known as Silver was nowhere to be found.
Sighing, Ryo turned around and headed for the exit to the dungeon. As he was about to leave, he saw something strange and decided to examine it closely.
There before him, lay a dark katana which seemed to glow with a red aura. Forgetting all about the object in his hands, Ryo dropped it and ran toward the Katana.
As he reached out to grab it, Ryo tripped on a nana and fell to his backside. As he shook his head, he looked up to see a figure whom laughed at him. The figure pronounced himself to be HINAREI, head Nana-ninja of the ASR.
However, as lights and sparkles would not cease so soon, someone made Hina trip and appeared in front of Ryo. He named himself as Style, the owner of the alley.
After calling Hina a naughty boy, Style advanced towards Ryo and examined him. With a strong voice, he apologized for all the rudeness of the people Ryo had just met, and told him he had to choose.
Silver had given him a possibility to become a member of the Org, Bobcat had given him the chance to be a HKSS agent and Hina had his eye on Ryo. Also, the katana Ryo was still holding belonged to the Motoko Brigade, ruled by dedicated kendo warriors.
Thus, according to Style, Ryo had to choose which group he would join.
However, as Style noticed his time was over, he picked Hina by his collar, and both disappeared in a lot of smoke.
Stunned for their sudden disappearance, Ryo soon relaxed and pondered the Owner's words.
It was then that he noticed a few hundred dollar bills laying to his side that Ryo greedily jumped on them, only to have them fly away from him.
Forgetting about the katana, and scrambling after them, he would pounce on the bills only to have them fly back even further. Was it magic? Was it fate? Was the wind too strong?! Ryo didn't know and didn't care as he continued to chase the money.
It was then that Ryo hit something hard and fell on his butt with a loud thud. Rubbing his backside, Ryo looked up to see a blond haired man standing with a fishing pole which had the money on a hook. The man declared himself to be Duo, the leader of the Magnificent Ouran Host Club.
Duo smiled at Ryo and told him that he'd been observing him for some time. He'd noticed that Ryo possessed something known as 'MANAGEMENT SKILLS' and wanted him to join the Host Club.
As Ryo began to mumble something about already thinking about other offers, Duo smacked Ryo with a wad of 100 dollar bills. Ryo's eyes shown with stars as he watched the money hovering over his head.
However, a new voice rose. From somewhere, not really known, Ryo could hear new languages. It was a language totally unknown to him, but sounded beautiful.
Then, the voice started changing languages, always changing from one to another. Finally, it spoke English. Realizing he could understand, Ryo immediately rose and stood up, as the voice had demanded him to stand up. Looking at the ground, Ryo noticed he had been sat on a strange being, a fairy whose name was RT.
Apparently, RT was a language fairy and was passing by when was accidentally hit by Ryo. But feeling a potential for languages in that person, RT tried to speak to him. When Ryo asked RT what would he offer for Ryo to join the language club, RT, the fairy, immediately brought out a box with a label on it.
RT told Ryo that inside it, contains the thing that he MOST wants in this world.
The box had a chibi of a white haired mage laughing evily with big block letters above his head saying "SCHNEIDER RULEZ"
Continuing to stare at the box, Ryo opened it and yelled in shock as a wave of energy hit him. Falling to the ground, RT smiled at him as he held out his hand to Ryo.
As Ryo stood up, he felt a presence about him that he hadn't felt before. Somehow feeling complete, he looked up at the Fairy and asked what had happened and what was the reason for such a feeling.
RT smiled and told Ryo that he had bestowed upon him the great honor of becoming a MISAKI.
Ryo, no. Ryo Misaki smiled back at RT and thanked him for the greatest gift he had yet to receive in the Alley and bowed, pledging he would also help others with their problems as RT had helped him.
RT, before disappearing, recalled Ryo Misaki was still a member of The Language Club, a fate which Ryo Misaki could not escape from.
As soon as the fairy RT disappeared, Ryo Misaki realized blond Duo was still there, smiling at him.
Ryo Misaki tried to run away, but it was too late. He had indeed to make an option of the brigade he would join, apart from the language club.
Declaring he had made a decision, Style, Hina, Silver and Bobcat appeared in a cloud of smoke and joined Duo, awaking Ryo Misaki's decision.
Accepting everyone's money, Ryo Misaki joined all the brigades. Carrying the money with him, Ryo Misaki made that alley one of the most famous of all with his famous store "Ask a Misaki".
How was he punished for not being active in the brigades we do not know. But we are sure that he still haunts the alleyway to this day, searching for those whom need his advice
