Chapter 2: The arrival.
"I finally get to see the real you and we already have to say good bye..."
"Shion the time we'll spend apart will be but an instant, in universal time..."
"See you soon"
"Yeah see you soon" Then the image seems to fade, like a dream...
"Whoa what was that?" Now as we come to a small village in Lost Jerusalem. We find ourselves in an eighteen year olds room...
"What was t-that?"
I seriously don't know why I'm having these visions lately.
"Well that was strange"
Anyway, Hi my names Jene Uzumaki! And I'm an eighteen year old orphan living with my friends in an old ass raged apartment in my home town of Cape Leaf.
Let me tell you about myself, I am in, well I was in college, I got kicked out along with my friends for some dumb-ass shit, we were talking about the technology of the past, such as the U.M.N, nanomachines, Realiens and the sort. Apparently the school boards don't like the talking of such nonsenses, as they called it. We all know very well this is not the first time Lost Jerusalem was inhabited by humans. We all know of the events that caused Lost Jerusalem's reappearance, The Michtam Tragedy, however very few know of the details.
My day (today) actually started yesterday, when I saw a shooting star fall next to the old river by the far side of the forest. I wanted to check it out with my two best buds, Canaan Zasashi, and Katie Makihara. Although our last names all seem like they came from a Japanese heritage we don't know what we are, Even though we all look to be natural born Americans, we all just happen to be Orphans with no background, wow huh? But that's beside the point; we're about to go check out that meteor that fell last night. "According to the Connection Gear I found it should be pretty close". And if it is what the C.G says it is then our lives our just about to get a heck of a lot more interesting…
"Hey Canaan you and Kate ready or what?" I said emphasizing the what.
"Yeah, just hold your horses Jene, Kate's in her room packing." Canaan stated with no patience whatsoever as well.
"Why does she need to pack it's only about four or so miles!" I yelled
"Don't ask me, ask her!" Canaan yelled at me in the angriest tone I had ever heard before.
"Okay, I will!" I shot back at him; see this is just our way of getting along. "Dammit! Why do I have to do everything?"
"What was that?!" Canaan questioned.
You see Canaan is a year and a half older than me, so he thinks he's the boss of me. Well not all the time, he's only like this when I force him to wake up this early in the morning. That's why I tend not to.
"Kate! Are you coming or not!" I shot up the stairs.
"Hold on just one second!" Kate called.
Her voice was muffled by the door.
"What's going on up there?! I better check it out…"
Heh… I just don't get enough of girls!
I knocked on her door twice. "What's up, what's going on in there! I'm coming in!"
Oh this is going to be good!
"What was that?! No don't! I'm not ready yet!" Kate shot through the door.
"What you're still not ready! I told you it's not that far and you had four whole hours to get ready!"
Shit man! That girl, she takes forever to do anything! Yet I still have this crush sort of thing for her…I thought to myself as I leaned on her door.
"Well can you hurry up then?"
"Yeah I'm done I'm coming out!"
"Yeah that's right, W-whoa watch out!" I fell on to her saying "Ouch owww! Man that hurts!"
"Get off me! How many times have I told you not to lean on my door! It's the only door that opens, from the inside!" Kate barked.
I couldn't resist I mean I-I just couldn't my male instincts surging through my whole body.
I sort of poked her, well you know...
She looked at me twitching her eyes.
"Uhh it was an accident I s-swear I-I d-didn't mean t-to I swear" I cried "No, don't do that no--"
She had hit me dead in the face before, but nothing like this.
"Ungh, THIS SHOULD TEACH YOU NOT TO TOUCH My b--"
"Breasts?" Canaan stepped in, saving me.
Thank you God!
"What are you two doing in here? Am I-I interrupting s-something?"
"No, of course not!" Both I and Kate yelled.
"Well, it sure does look like something went down…"
"Nothing happened!" She screamed.
"Ok-ok-ok I get it your mad I messed up one of you two's momen-- What are you going to do with t-that! Nooooo!" Canaan screamed.
Ouch, oh no not the face oww I don't think that goes there! No that is not supposed to bend that way, ouch… I thought, wincing in pain from Canaan's injury's and my own.
"Well Jene, Canaan did you two learn your lessons?" Kate said still holding up a fist.
"Oww that hurt!" I winced.
"Well that'll teach you two."
"Ok can you quit stalling for time, we need to get there before anyone else does!" Canaan yelled.
"Go where? We're going somewhere? Oh I hope it's the mall!" Kate said in a modest tone.
"No, stupid we were supposed to go see the crater, remember?" I said, thinking then what was she packing for?
"Oh! That, that's right let me go pack!"
"You're hopeless" Canaan whined.
After Kate finally told us she was just messing around, we headed off to the scene of the crater. Two hours in, we found ourselves in a pinch…
"What! You were holding the map upside down!" Canaan barked. And to my dismay, she said "Oh yeah, it was thata way!"
Whispering "I told you not to let her be the one in charge of the map!" Canaan said.
"Well this would have never happened if you let me use my C.G (Connection Gear) as the map!" I yelled.
"Well that thing is over a hundred years old, where did you get it anyway?" Canaan asked.
"I found it in 'the' dump with three others, the guy there didn't know what they were so he sold them to me for cheap." I replied.
"How can there be a connection gear on Lost Jerusalem?!" Kate asked "I mean they cant be manufactured here because of the ban of outside help, not that we'll get or got any, And they shouldn't be found here either! They are from the old days of realiens and nano-machines. Even thoughing that we all know Lost Jerusalem's s only here because of that technology, The only reason we cant make nano-machines and realiens is because we don't have the technology, yet…" She rambled on and on and on…
"I don't care! There are plenty of organizations that still researching all of those things like Vector and Ormus…They could have brought it with them or they built it!" I replied.
"Who's was it before you got it Jene?" Kate asked.
"It said welcome back Allen Ridgeley, when I first turned it on, so I guess it was his, The guy who was the second chief of Vector's R&D 1st division KOS-MOS joint project…" I replied.
KOS-MOS… we're coming, I told myself.
"Anyways lets get back on track… Hey! Look! There's some smoke and debris over there!" Canaan said.
"Whoa look at that there's five- s--" Kate started.
"Shut up! Or they will hear us--- " I started.
"Both of you! Shut up! Do you want to get shot!" Canaan whispered.
"Look, there's KOS-MOS!" I shot.
"You mean the Battle Android that accompanied Shion, Jr. and the others?!" Kate said.
"Yeah look at her, even though she's all lifeless, she's still beautiful…" Canaan started.
"Shut up, man, you little perv boy!" Kate shot, She almost knew I was going to say something too…
"Her hair is a little faded but…" I started…
"And you, urg, you little horndog, why I oughta…" She stated very clearly.
"Look guys, we have to save her!" Canaan beat me to it.
"Well how do we get her from the soldiers…" Kate stated.
"Okay, guys I didn't want to have to actually do this again, but looks like we have to" I said…
"Okay, well here goes nothing…" Canaan said quietly.
"No! Stupid if they see us than they'll call for help! Let me handle this…" She said, Kate then pulled out her backpack, and pulled out a twelve gage sawed off Shotgun. She had the most perfect aim ever too I bet she could kill them all in two shots… I thought.
"Hey bob you hear something?" A soldier said.
"No, did you…" Another soldier said.
"Shut up, and help me get this piece of junk out of the…" The boss like soldier said, I don't know their names!
"She is not a piece of junk, Hahhh!" I screamed, jumping out of the nice hiding spot we had, ruining our cover.
"Jene! No! They have guns…" Kate yelled dramatically.
"He can handle himself. He's been practicing…" Canaan told her.
"Haah" I yelled, cutting a soldier's stomach…
"What the hell! Shoot the little bastard dammit. No Bob!"
"Ugh, leave me be I tried to die along time ago… This kids doing me a favor..."
"Nooo, Bob! You little bastard I'm gona fucking kill you" He then turned off the safety on his machine gun. "Take this! Hah!" Pressing the trigger, the bullets spat out like lightning.
As the bullets traveled through the air, time seemed to stop if only for a moment.
"Jene!!!" Kate screamed.
"Oh hell no! Can't touch this…" I yelled.
The bullets traveled towards me at lightning speed then… I deflected them with my Katana at the last second.
"No! Jene! I can't look…" Kate screamed.
"It's all right. He's okay, look for yourself!" Canaan said reassuringly.
All of the bullets flung from the sword flew into almost all of the soldiers, killing them almost instantly.
The last soldier unarmed, lay in the fetal position crying "Please don't kill me!"
"What's your name?" Kate asked.
"Kevin Sou Uzumaki" The soldier said.
"Shut up! She asked you 1st name not your life's story!" Canaan yelled.
"Uzumaki? Uzumaki? Your last name's Uzumaki!? I asked.
"Yes" He was quiet after that.
"Are you going to kill me?" He whined.
"No not now, not after seeing you like this, and because of your last name." Canaan said.
"A-are you a-an o-o-orphan?" I said, thinking could he be…
"Yes, sniff, I have no family, and I was forced to join Ormus, I swear!" Kevin said.
"So those were Ormus soldiers huh?" I said. "So yeah, my last name is Uzumaki, too."
Kevin looked overjoyed, I was a little happy but I couldn't know for sure. But who cares I'm going to consider all of us family from now on!
"Hey Kevin, you want to come live with us? At least for a little while."
"Yeah we could be one big happy family!" Kate said.
"Hey how old are you kid? Do you have a profession? You good with any weapons? Have any money?" Canaan asked a bunch of questions.
"I'm seventeen, turning eighteen on November 26th" Kevin said. "Yes I love to mess around with computers, see look at this!" He pulled a Connection gear out of his pocket. "I customized it with an old gear at Ormus H.Q. I am also good at programming, analyzing, ect. And yes I carry this" He then pulled out a blade connected to a gun, he called it a gunblade. "I call it a Gunblade! Oh and for the final question yes and no…
"You see higher up Ormus members have company credit cards and I happen to have one, but if I use it they can find me."
"Quit talking, and help us carry this Android back to our house…" Canaan insisted.
Meanwhile on the Elsa…
"Hey Tony, Hammer you guys see anything yet? Captain Matthews inquired.
"Nope not anything visually or on the radar." Hammer stated.
"What he said captain, there's nothing out here we haven't even been able to contact anyone for over five days!" Tony mentioned.
"Well we can't let little master or Shion down, they're like family to us now right?" Matthews said.
"Yeah" Tony said.
"Yep" Hammer said.
"So hurry up and find this Lost Jerusalem!" Matthews yelled.
"How are we supposed to hurry?! We are looking but theirs no more U.M.N remember? So we can't just find the coordinates or gate out there!" Tony barked.
Just then The Professor ran onto the bridge yelling "I did it I did it!"
"What did you do now?" Hammer asked.
"Oh, The Professor and I didn't just 'do' something we found Lost Jerusalem's coordinates, or close to them!" Scott added.
"Really?! Well Tony get us their top speed!" Matthews stated.
"Great, I would but, I still don't know the coordinates!" Tony barked.
"The coordinates are point 00000001…" The Professor and Scott said in sync.
"That's it…Those are the super duper unknown coordinates?!" Hammer, Tony and Matthews said almost in sync.
"Yep, who knew?" The Professor said in a very sarcastic voice, and then walked away.
"Well take us there now hot shot!" Matthews said.
"Okay, here we go!" Tony yelled.
Just then Shion and Allen walked onto the bridge asking "What's all the commotion about?
"Well Mr. and Ms.Ridgeley, we just found the coordinates of Lost Jerusalem, single handedly." Matthews said.
"Please just call us by our original names, please." Shion said blushing.
"Hey didn't The Profess…" Hammer started.
"The P-Professor yeah he was l-looking for you Allen!" Matthews interrupted.
"He was! Oh this is bad this is really bad see you later Shion! Everybody!" Allen said as he ran off.
"That isn't very nice taking the credit for what the professor did." Shion said.
"Well uhh, you all knew?" Matthews said.
"Yes, it was all thanks to the Professor, Scott and Jr. for cracking the code." She said.
"Well everyone it looks like at least another four days until we reach these coordinates" Tony said.
"We are almost out of all supplies, you know that right?" Shion said.
"Yeah, we have to take it easy for a while till we get to Lost Jerusalem." Matthews said looking bleak.
Later everybody was in the kitchen except Shion and Jr.
"Hey Shion, think we'll ever see chaos again?" Jr. asked.
"Yes, and KOS-MOS and Jin too."
"I hope so, well Shion bet you can't wait till we get there."
"Yeah, I never imagined it would take this long."
"Yeah, two whole years went by like that since that day we left the Dammerung." Jr. said looking sad.
"You miss her, don't you?"
"Yes, I miss MOMO more than I miss Wilhelm that's for sure!"
"Heh"
"You miss KOS-MOS, don't you Shion?"
"More than you could imagine. Lets go eat, dinner's all done."
