I'll pass on the torture, but I do want to vote for the bare handed finish

"I guess...bare handed, then?"
You let the the beast rush you again, and take a deep breath inwards.
"Ready...and..."
In this world, you could do whatever you wanted, right?
Cerberus literally was in your face...you could feel the hot breath from one of its heads against your face.
Ew. Time to finish up, seriously. Your hands move in a blur, striking the giant three-headed dog all over with focused, deadly finger pokes.
"ATATATATATATATATATATATA-"
And so on for about seventy hours.
You neatly quiet down afterwards and regain your composure as you turn on your heel and walk away, the inverted world starting to disappear around you.
Oh, right. Serious injuries.
You fall to one knee, panting heavily...but still, there was one thing left. A smile comes to your lips as you recite the words.
"Omae wa mou...shindeiru."
You wait for the big finish.
Okay, where was the explosion of blood and flesh, already? You turn to see Juno sitting on top of the unconscious beast.
"Can't let you do that, Hitomi."
"Oh, fuck y-"
---
You open your eyes...they're still a bit dim, so you don't know where you are right now. Though it seems familiar.
---
a) Cloud Country
b) Pavel's place in Moscow
c) Random Field
d) The Moon
e) Make your own zany

If I had to wake up in Russia, it sure as hell wouldn't be at... Pavel's.
Make it... on a shoddy wooden raft floating in the middle of the ocean. Shark fins circling, too.

Maybe not so familiar.
You sit up slowly, ignoring the screaming pain. All you can see for miles around is water. You're lying on a wooden raft, floating in the middle of nowhere.
Annoying...at least you had completed the tasks. Komrade wasn't with you, either. Juno hadn't appeared. You wondered if that Alexandra girl was okay. Probably was, since Juno liked to keep her word.
There are several grey fins in the water, in the area around your raft. You can taste something metallic in your mouth. Oh, blood.
You had been bleeding, you guessed. That didn't help matters. The sharks were catching on or something like that. Though they hadn't done anything yet.
Maybe this area was familiar after all, after looking at the situation. You flex your hands and check a few things. Hm.
Not ready to use 'that' again just yet.
---
a) Try to call out to someone.
b) Just drift along until something happens.
c) Other not listed.
1. Ignore sharks.
2. Move away from sharks.
3. Attack sharks.

A because it makes it seem like someone's going to actually answer, and 3 because moving away from sharks is futile, and we may as well fuck them before they fuck us.

"Hello? Anyone hearing me?"
There's a moment of silence before you see the water literally drop out from underneath you for a second, surging back up beneath the raft as it slides downwards into the depths of the ocean. The water collapses around you and forms a sort of tunnel as you fly through.
The raft skids to a stop in an underground cave, with three different pathways. One led to a palace, according to the sign. That was in the middle. The left one led to a bustling city, from the description. The right one led out to an untouched and pristine part of the ocean, which you were free to roam as you pleased.
'That' hadn't quite come back yet, but you didn't mind. Sharks were taken care of.
You could also guess how and why you were in this position instead of still floating out on the surface of the water. Was he out to get you as well?
You huff as you move towards one of the pathways.
---
a) Left
b) Middle
c) Right

Right - I think it would be fun, but I wouldn't know what to do when we get there.

You take the right path and float out into the sprawling ocean. It's pretty clear for what seems to be miles around, the water calm and clear with all sorts of life around you. Schools of fish fly past you as you kick your legs and move forward.
You're holding your breath, but realize that it's not needed as you can somehow breathe in the waters.
The sight around you is really quite calming, you notice. Almost as if you could forget about everything else and just float on, relaxing.
A young blonde-haired guy is floating in the water ahead of you, seemingly sleeping. He's wearing a pair of old jeans and is shirtless, with a trident secured to his back. His hair is wavy and hangs over his face as he drifts on.
---
a) Just drift past him for now.
b) Wake him up, ask him what's going on.
c) Wait for him to wake up as you stop.
d) Other.

You gently shake him awake, and he looks at you with a start.
"Oh...Miss Hitomi."
"Have we met?" you ask him.
"Nah. But I know all about you, from my dad."
"Your father...Neptune, if I'm not mistaken."
"That's about right. I'm Triton, by the way. As you probably already know, I'm Neptune's eldest son. Something I can do for you, Miss Hitomi?"
"...You probably know why I'm here."
"Something like that. Pops said that you could be hard to reason with at times, but you had a heart of justice, or something like that. Your sister was nicer, according to him...I met her once."
"Katsumi...how was she?"
"She was really cool. Looked like you, but...well..."
"A bit sexier."
"Yeah. No offense."
"None taken," you say with a handwave. "We both knew it to be true."
"So, you wanna kill my dad."
"...I'm not so sure anymore."
He looks at you with surprise. "Why not?"
"Because of something that happened to me a while ago. Also...you know Pluto, right?"
"Man...she's a piece of work," he says with a frown. "Yeah, I know her."
"Turns out she had two souls within her."
"Ah...pops was going on about some secret project or whatnot. It wasn't that special, though. You should talk to him about it."
"I probably will. Anyways, what're you doing out here?"
"Resting. Nothing much to do right now." He looks over at you. "Mind if I tag along?"
"Depends on what I'm going to do."
---
a) Head towards the city
b) Head towards the palace
1. Take Triton with you
2. You're going on alone for now

"I guess we'll head over to the city. You can tag along if you want."
"Alright. Let's head off, then."
Triton follows you as you head out to the city, which is seemingly glowing with a bright light. Seemed a bit unnatural...
"That doesn't look too healthy," you comment as you float down the streets.
"...Something's up. This part of town is always bustling. Let's get out of he-"
He's interrupted as the water for miles around starts to turn in a dangerous torrent.
"This doesn't look very good..."
The lights get brighter until you can't see anything else.
---
You wake up a few moments later, it seems. Dry land again...
"Hey...Triton. You there?"
"Yeah...all here," he says weakly.
"Alright." You pick yourself up and rub at your eyes. "Well, well..."
Back in the middle of Sun City once more.
"I'm guessing that someone sent us back here for their own devices. Might as well make them regret it."

You head eastward across town and find a familiar sight before you.
The streets ahead were lined with mercenaries, all under the employ of the Nine Planets, as you could very well guess. You sigh as you walk towards them, grabbing their attention.
"'Sup. Who's up for a free ass-kicking, on the house?"
They all pour in from every direction, aiming for you with murderous intent.
"Hold on tight, buddy," you say to Triton. You grab hold of one of his hands, and activate your ability once more, turning the world around you into one of inverted colours. Every one of the enemies within your vicinity was in your grasp...
"Mmm...this is interesting, isn't it? Now, what shall I try first?" you say, licking your lips.
Yup...this was gonna be so much fun.

To be continued. Sorry in advance.
