CANAAN OVA EPISODE 3: SAVE MARIA!
"Canaan! Wake up! CANAAN!" I yelled as loud as I can. I wanted to save her, even once I want to be the one to save her. I struggled to escape the ropes that bind both my wrists and ankles. I was useless. "Canaan!"
Canaan was lying unconscious on a moving platform that's headed towards the entrance of a fiery hot junk burner.
"Please CANAAN! Wake up!" I continued to scream but Canaan wouldn't wake up. "CANAAN!"
Wait, how did we get to this situation again? Right, I skipped through some stuff.
3 hours ago...
Canaan and Alphard arrived at the junkyard where I was located. Canaan was using her Synesthesia to pass through the soldiers without a problem and Alphard following her lead. But while walking in the hallway, Canaan heard Alphard unsheathe her dagger and with quick reflexes turned to Alphard, pointing her gun at Alphard's forehead while Alphard points the dagger in Canaan's neck.
"If you want to kill me, we can fight later." Canaan tells Alphard sternly.
"I don't plan on killing you with your back turned on me. I only took my dagger to protect myself." Alphard explained.
The two had a staredown for a moment before Canaan decided to drop the gun and push Alphard to the front. "You lead the way."
"Do I look like I know where I'm going?" Alphard tells her with a shrug and Canaan rolled her eyes and ran forward, back to leading again. The former terrorist followed Canaan's left with a smirk.
Later on, while they were still looking...
"Save me, Canaan!"
"Maria?!" Canaan was startled with hearing my voice and turned to its source, seeing Alphard play the recording from the phone. "What's your problem?!" in anger, she took the phone from Alphard.
"The echo. It's the same as the one in this room." Alphard points out. "They recorded it here."
Canaan looked around, seeing nothing but bridgeways on top and moving platforms towards a burner. The machine functions well and junk on the platform comes continuously from the other side of the carousel platform.
Attempting to use her Synesthesia, she was surprised to hear this time, the scream of the real me.
"CANAAN!" I called out to her. My wrists and and ankles bound by ropes.
"MARIA!" Canaan called back. Then she glared at the one holding me. "Let her go!"
"Oh don't worry. I don't plan on hurting her. I just want the information you know about the Ua Virus." the man said. His face was hidden behind the shadows.
Canaan turns to Alphard who was calm and composed, giving not a care in what was happening. "Alphard, tell him what he wants to know!"
"Then what? Let him kill your precious Oosawa?" Alphard teases. When Canaan grits her teeth, Alphard chuckles and ignored her, walking forward- closer to the man and I. We were at the second floor on one of the bridges. "I'll tell you everything you want. Just leave the girl there and let's talk somewhere else." she proposed.
"Tsk, you think you could trick me? Your friend over there will just take her and you tell me nothing." The man holding me didn't believe Alphard. Although I can feel that he's just playing around.
"If ever they escape, you have me right? You can just squeeze the information out of me." Alphard continued to negotiate. "Perhaps cut a finger or two. Although I only have five fingers." she tried to joke.
The man laughs and his grip on me loosened. "That's what I love about you, Alphard! You negotiate well!" he drops me on the ground at last. "But I have a better idea!" he countered. "How about we... play... a game?"
I observed Alphard's eyes carefully. Again, I saw that same look in her eyes. The emotion that was never seen. But I couldn't tell what she was feeling at that time. If it was anger. Regret. Guilt. Fear. Anxiety. I couldn't tell but I know she showed some emotions when the man offered to play a game. It was as if she knew what it meant.
"Canaan, get-!" Alphard turns to Canaan who merely dodged a bullet from a sniper nearby.
Canaan shoots at the location of the sniper yet another bullet fired from behind Canaan. There were more than one snipers. When Canaan was injured, another bullet was fired at Canaan's hand to force her to drop her gun.
"Now let me explain the mechanics of our game." the man says. "You see, those bullets my snipers used are covered in poison. The same poison I forced your friend to drink earlier." what drink? "Now the cure.. I'm the only one who has the cure. The mechanics is; if you want to save your friends, come and get the cure from me. Once you caught, tell me all about the Ua Virus and I'll give you another cure. Fair game, ain't it?"
Alphard said nothing but I could see her fist balled for a punch.
"Go get him Alphard! I'll handle everything here!" Canaan encouraged. And she quickly rolled over on the ground to grab her gun and kills one of the snipers after a headshot.
Alphard didn't waste any time and climbed up. The man with me laughed maniacally and ran to the exit. Alphard chasing after him. I turned back to Canaan and see that she was already panting and sweating. She was slowly getting pale.
Another shot at the other sniper and his body falls down. Dead.
"Canaan look out!" I scream when I saw another soldier come towards Canaan. She turned around in time but barely managed to defend herself from her opponent's strength.
The enemy kicked Canaan in the stomach, forcing her to stumble backwards until the back of her knees hits the carousel and she fell backwards. Then he fired shots at Canaan. He missed though. Canaan lifts her gun and points it at him, giving him all her remaining bullets until he was dead.
Whew.
Then we heard an explosion nearby. Is Alphard going to be alright? Then I heard a thud. I looked back at Canaan and saw she dropped her gun.
"Canaan, are you alright?" I asked, worried. I can see her eyelids dropping. "Canaan?"
"Maria..." was all she could utter before losing consciousness.
"Canaan wait! Wake up!"
But Canaan was already lying down, her body being carried away to her demise. I can't let it happen! I can't! Not after everything she's been through, not after everything she did for me, not now that she befriends someone from her past!
"Canaan! Wake up! CANAAN!" I yelled as loud as I can. I wanted to save her, even once I want to be the one to save her. I struggled to escape the ropes that bind both my wrists and ankles. I was useless. "Canaan!"
Canaan was lying unconscious on a moving platform that's headed towards the entrance of a fiery hot junk burner.
"Please CANAAN! Wake up!" I continued to scream but Canaan wouldn't wake up. "CANAAN!"
With another explosion, the bridge that I was in collapsed. I screamed as I fell hard on the ground and falling debris fell over me.
...
I woke up and see someone trying to tell me something. I could see her mouth moving but there was no sound. I tried to focus my vision to see her face and saw Alphard covered in cuts and bruises in her face. What was she trying to say?
Wait, is she smiling?
I blinked to check but she already gently placed me down on the ground and left.

"Maria!"

I shot back up the moment I opened my eyes. Mino was startled at me.
"Geez Maria, give me a break for once!" he exclaims.
"Mino?" I looked around and saw that I was in a room. I must be in a hospital. Mino was beside me while Yunyun was asleep on the couch in front. What just happened? Did I skip through the whole thing again?
"Yunyun carried you all the way back here." he explains.
"What about Canaan and Alphard, they-!"
"Whoa shh shh, it's alright. They're safe." he assures me. Then he stood up, walked towards the curtains that cover what's on the other side and slides it to the side to show me that Canaan and Alphard were both sleeping soundly. "See?"
"Whew." I was relieved.
"Cummings gave me a call, told me he found Canaan and Alphard near the burner."
"Cummings?"
"Long story." he leans back to his seat to relax. "Say Maria... about what happened recently... about Alphard..."
"She came when I called her. Just like that time." I said out of the blue. A smile painted across my face. Mino was staring at me again. "When I first saw Alphard again, she saved me from the guys who wanted to rape me. She showed up right after I scream Canaan's name. This time again, she came when I called Canaan's name."
"What do you mean? She mistook it as her name?"
"No. It is her name. All along she still knows who she is. The good side of her is still there. No one is just helping her- calling out to her good side." now I know.
"Canaan, huh?" Mino said when he understood what I meant.
"The promised land." I mutter and turn to the two sleeping Canaan's. "I'm glad I met you two."
The End.
