It's time for chapter 3! I'm not particularly proud of this chapter. I might rewrite it later. If you find this chapter to be weak, I'll have to agree
Oops, I forgot to put this in chapters 1 and 2, I don't own Haruhi or any other character. Too bad for me.
"Be careful."
Careful?
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"My optical sensors picked up a strong aura related to the Data Integration Thought Entity at the site of the crash."
Entity?
"So, your masters are responsible in some way?"
"That is not what I was saying. Something similar, yet not the same Entity. I do not possess more information."
Similar?
"So, there might be aliens at work here?"
"Yes."
Aliens?
These words echoed through my mind. I couldn't get any sleep. I eventually started drifting to sleep but then the alarm went off, like a huge bell warning a town of a disaster coming at them full speed.
Yawning, I eventually got dressed and fixed a quick snack. I got distracted by a night schedule on an anime network and completely lost track of time. When I looked at my watch the time was only 10 minutes to 1! Finishing off the last bite of my toast, I ran towards the school. I saw four figures standing outside.
"Late! Penalty!"
I groaned loudly but grimly accepted my fate.
"Alright, I'm here. Now let's get this over with." I quickly said, glancing at the exhausted Brigade. Haruhi looked perky as ever. Maybe she got a huge caffeine injection? Ms. Asahina had her eyes half-open, yawning like crazy. Koizumi had his annoying smile on, as always, and Nagato had her usual emotionless face.
We were walking along the road when Koizumi stepped closer to me.
"So, you nervous?" He asked me.
"Too tired to be." I replied.
He chuckled. I glared at him. He knew something he wasn't letting me know. I wonder if Nagato or Ms. Asahina knew something about this annoying situation as well.
"You know something you aren't telling me, don't you?" I asked him.
"And what would give you that idea?" He smiled.
"Everything."
I was surprised to see Koizumi burst into a fit of laughter. Genuine laughter, too. Enough to wake me up.
"Well, I can't blame you for that," He said inbetween laughs, "but the only thing I know is that there are definitely paranormal forces behind this. No doubt about that."
I glanced suspiciously at him but eventually let it go. I turned my attention to Ms. Asahina.
"You okay there?" I asked her.
"Huh? Oh... yeah. I guess so." She replies sweetly and yawns.
I smile and look at the "Brigade Leader" Haruhi. Well, as long as I have a powerful alien and an esper on my side I'll be okay, right? Right?
The Complex of Haruhi Suzumiya- Part 3
"Heeere we are!" Haruhi happily sighed. We glanced at the completely lonely crash site. It appears the police didn't expect late-night 'visits'. Good for us, then?
"Alright, so what do we do now?" I ask her. She smiles at me.
"We investigate, of course. Let's go!"
With those words she walked closer to the wrecked car. She crouched down to examine the strange markings around the wreck. I turn my attention to Nagato.
"Um, Nagato? What are those markings all about?" I ask her. She turns to me.
"The markings around the car wreck are teeming with DNA. DNA from a source similar to the Data Integration Thought Entity. The Thought Entity does not possess DNA information but the interfaces created by it have random human DNA information from previous examination missions to Tellus (Earth) injected into their bodies in order to give them a convincing human appearance. Other Entities not directly related to the Data Integration Thought Entity can also possess DNA information and as unlike the Data Integration Thought Entity, other Entities possess directly identifiable DNA information thus they can be identified. In other words, the one responsible is either a Humanoid Interface such as myself or a separate Entity from whom I serve"
As I try to understand her monologue she turns to the wrecked car and starts examining the markings. Completely catching me off-guard, the marking suddenly glow a bright green.
"Huh? What's happening?" I say to myself.
"The markings left behind the aliens are reacting to Yuki's touch." Itsuki says to me.
I look around and see Nagato suddenly standing, surrounded by the green light.
"Huh? YUKI?!" Haruhi screams. Is she actually concerned about Nagato? I rush towards Nagato but a force blows both me and Haruhi back.
"lahettamallatietojadatasiirtokaynnissadatasiirtotaydellinenaloittaaohjelmankaynnistamista."
The stuff coming out of Yuki's mouth was completely incomprehensible! It was a string of seemingly random incantations.
I looked over to Ms. Asahina who was lying on the floor, trembling in fear. Haruhi stared, dumbstruck at the display of lights. Even Koizumi looked concerned.
"Information translation... complete." I hear Nagato say, distorted.
In a blinding flash, Nagato was beamed up into a rippling wave in the sky.
"YUKIIII!!" I hear Haruhi, and myself, scream.
"Yes/Enter"
And those words were the last I heard of Yuki Nagato. Haruhi dropped to her knees. Koizumi was wide-eyed. He had clearly not expected that and Mikuru had fainted halfway through Nagato's abduction.
And myself? The fainted Ms. Asahina was the last clear thing I saw before my eyes went blurry. I collapsed to my knees before I uttered Nagato's name.
How did she just up and vanish like that? And why? The circular markings around the wrecked car were glowing faintly. I crawled over to it to find a bookmark. A note left by Nagato.
"思い出す。信じる。"
Hm? It translates to "Remember. Believe". What? What does that mean?
"Kyon? Did you find anything" Koizumi says behind me.
"This... note..." I find myself incapable of speaking properly so I just hand him the note. I wait for a response but I don't hear any. I slowly turn around to see Koizumi glowing red.
"...Isuki?" Haruhi stutters. Ms. Asahina is still unconscious.
"...oh, no. It's happening! Save yourselves!!" Koizumi yells. I try to figure out what's going on until I'm grabbed by Haruhi and dragged across the pavement.
"I don't know what's happening but we should get out!" Haruhi groans. I tear away from her hold and look at Koizumi, surrounded with strange red haze. The glow grows stronger and stronger. It's like he's going to explode.
"Oh... no..." I breath.
"What?" Haruhi replies, out of breath.
"Mikuru! She's still there!"
"WHAT?!"
"I! Have... to get her!"
I limp towards the red glow, trying to reach Ms. Asahina.
"KYON? NO! It's too dangerous!" Haruhi screams.
I collapse to the ground. I can't move. It's like I'm paralyzed!
The sky becomes a blood red color as a white explosion surrounds me. I watch in horror as a gigantic hole forms into the ground, no traces of Itsuki Koizumi or Mikuru Asahina. I try to scream as loudly as possible but nothing comes out of my mouth. There's no sound around me.
The red sky is the last thing I see before everything goes black...
My eyes suddenly open. I find myself in my bedroom, completely unharmed. My alarm clock flashes 6:28. Was it... a dream?
Nagato, Ms. Asahina, Koizumi... are they still alive?
Cliffhanger-ness. Yeah, that was a pretty weak chapter but chapter 4 will be better. Triple promise. Stay tuned for the next installment-
The Complex of Haruhi Suzumiya- Part 4
Constructive criticism welcome. Flames, however, aren't and will be reported.
