Hello! I present you the 3rd and last story of the Kanon trilogy (Sorry, it somehow evolved into a trilogy...)
The name of this story means "Revenge" in Swedish but this is not about revenge... It's more about protecting what's important... (Sorry, if I'm blabbering too much useless things...)
So, off you go with my new story! ^^
It was very early in the morning. Usually everyone would have been doing their normal chores at that time but this day almost everyone in the church had gathered to the church graveyard. They were burying their beloved assistant archbishop Bastien. He had died because he had used wars to kill sinners, or so the official story told. It fact, Bastien had been a spy from the military and he had tried to kill Teito who had fled from the military after finding out that he was actually the prince of the fallen Raggs Kingdom. Bastien had died when the eye of the archangel Mikhail took over Teito and purified most of the wars.
That can't be right, Kanon thought. I should have realized that he was from the military. Why couldn't I realize it sooner? He was working for Ayanami so why couldn't I realize it?
Kanon felt someone's hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Shade's face. He smiled at Kanon and then walked to Svida's side. Kanon looked at the grave to see people leaving flowers to Bastien. She walked to the grave and placed some flowers next to the grave.
"Please stay with Frau", Kanon whispered. "He deserves that."
Kanon walked away from the grave and tried to look for Labrador. She felt like something would be happening and she just needed to see Labrador. She knew that she hadn't been talking to him for almost two weeks and that he probably was angry about it but she couldn't care less. She just needed to find out if her suspicions were true. She quickly reached the three bishops who were walking back to the church. There was some commotion between the bishops and some nuns but after that Kanon walked to them.
"Labrador, there's something I'd like to talk about-" Kanon started but too soon realized that Labrador wasn't listening to her. Suddenly an overflowing rage filled Kanon and she shouted:
"PLEASE LISTEN TO ME EVEN ONCE, BISHOP LABRADOR!"
Labrador looked at Kanon with a shocked expression. He never had thought that Kanon could shout like that. He was also a bit hurt from the way Kanon had addressed him. She had always called him either Lab or Profe-chan. (The latter was a joke about how mother-like person Labrador could be.) She'd never call him bishop Labrador. After she had gotten Yukikaze back, Kanon had started to distance herself from Labrador.
"What is it?" Labrador asked calmly.
"I've got a bad feeling about this", Kanon said. "They just let Bastien die like that. They must have set some kind of trap here."
"What do you mean?" Frau asked with widened eyes.
"We shouldn't leave Teito alone", Kanon said. "There might still be some wars left in him or Mikhail."
"But we checked him afterwards and he was wars-free", Castor said.
"Teito might have been but was Mikhail?" Kanon asked.
Frau was the first one who understood what Kanon said. He started running towards the church and soon Castor followed him. Labrador stayed with Kanon and looked at Kanon with a shocked expression.
"How did you find out that?" he asked quietly. "That Mikhail and Teito aren't connected so that we could see Mikhail's wars if he isn't taking over Teito."
"Vertrag", Kanon said. "When Teito was very little he was travelling Via Kreuz who was the latest reincarnation of Vertrag. I think that he sealed Teito's memories but I'm not sure about it."
"Thank you…" Labrador mumbled and ran off. Kanon started to look for Yukikaze. If the military really was going to do something there it would be a perfect opportunity to infiltrate the military.
"Where are you going?" someone said behind Kanon. She turned around and saw Yukikaze.
"I was looking for you", Kanon said. "We need to get things ready as soon as possible. The military might be here soon."
"Roger", Yukikaze smiled. He ran to his apartment to get the backpack they had been keeping there in case military would appear there again.
Kanon walked to the church building and started waiting. She hid near Frau's room so she could see if Teito got out. Suddenly she heard a loud bang and some yelling. After that there was a short silence and then Teito dashed out of the room. Kanon followed Teito but heard some more yelling and noises of someone getting beaten up. She smirked a bit when she ran after Teito.
When Kanon finally caught up with Teito's speed, she saw that something was wrong. Teito's face was partly absorbed by wars and Teito wasn't moving. Suddenly Kanon saw Hakuren walking towards Teito and dropping the tray he was carrying. Suddenly something black absorbed Teito and Hakuren. Kanon saw how Frau ran after the duo and tried to stop the black thing from absorbing Teito and Hakuren. When Frau finally got to Teito and Hakuren, the black thing had already absorbed them. Kanon looked at the spot where Teito and Hakuren had disappeared and finally made up her mind. She saw Castor near her and ran to him.
"Please tell to Lab and Frau that I'm going to infiltrate the military", she told to Castor. "I don't know when I can contact you but if I haven't contacted you in three weeks, please consider me dead."
Castor looked at Kanon with a shocked expression. Kanon smiled a bit at Castor and then started running away from the bishop. She waved at him and shouted:
"Please pray for me and that airhead! We really need that!"
Now, where is that airhead when I need him? Kanon asked in her mind. I need my uniform before we can infiltrate the ship.
Kanon turned in a corner and almost bumped into Yukikaze. She smiled and almost stole Yukikaze's backpack. She got her uniform that she had stolen God-knows-how-long ago. They had planned that Kanon would take Yukikaze into custody for "suspicious behavior" so that they could enter the ship. They would steal a uniform for Yukikaze and then no one would figure out that they actually weren't members of the military. The hardest part of their plan would be when they got into Houburg since they would need Kal Ien's help to get their names into the military register. Otherwise they would be detected and executed.
"Are you sure about that?" Yukikaze asked when they had knocked down a military officer in the commotion. "Won't it be dangerous to go near the Black Hawks?"
"It will be but we need to do it for the future of this world", Kanon said. "And I really want to have a good talk with brother…"
Kanon took the military officer's pilot glasses and put them on her head. She hopped on the military officer's hawkzile with Yukikaze. Kanon started the hawkzile and soon they were in the sky. Kanon could feel the freedom and she almost screamed from the happiness. They got soon to the Ribidzile and landed onto its roof. Suddenly they saw Hyuuga flying off and Teito being almost caught by Haruse.
Kanon quickly opened a door to the ship and slipped in with Yukikaze. They found themselves in the middle of a storeroom that stored uniforms. Kanon quickly took one for Yukikaze and they got out of the storeroom. They went to see what was happening. Suddenly Kanon took Yukikaze's glasses off and continued walking.
When Kanon and Yukikaze walked into the deck of the Ribidzile, Kanon and Ayanami's eyes met and they looked at each other for few seconds. Kanon smirked a bit when she turned around.
Checkmate, Aya-tan!
