Chapter 4
Somehow, Kegeruma brought Ginji straight to the center of Babylon City. Ginji's heartbeat went faster and faster as they walked through a dark corridor to a big door, where his mother working, said Kageruma.
However, when he opened the door, all he saw was just a big complicated machine in the center of a large room. Just like MakubeX's super computer, but this thing is more big, complicated, and modern.
"Huh? Where is my mother? Don't tell me that you just made fool of me," said Ginji.
"It's right there, child of Mugenjou. Can't you see it?"
"I can only see the huge machine."
"That means you can see your mother. She is pretty, right?"
"Haha.. it's not time for that nasty joke. That thing can't be my mother." Said Ginji. However, deep in his heart he begun to worry.
And his biggest worry has come true as the voodoo king answered his question.
" You know, it's quite rude to call your mother a 'thing' "
Ginji's heart skipped a beat.
"That can't be! Don't make a joke at time like this! If you can't be serious, I'd better go down to Ban-chan and the others!!" He began to lose his cool.
"I'm serious. You are the child of Mugenjou. And THAT" he pointed the black big machine in the center, "…is the one you can call a mother. Let me introduce you, the one who created the whole virtual fortress of infinite, Mugenjou. Isn't she beautiful? She is created, as an incarnation of human's ambition to be a God of their own world. You should have heard of them. Brain Trust."
Ginji has heard of the name from his partner. He only knew that the Brain Trust is a group of people who made a prophecy of the future, the archive.
"Then, who am I?" whispered him.
"You are the weapon for that purpose. Your true role is to lead the new world of Mugenjou and become their leader. At the beginning, it was a success. You've become the leader of Lower Town, and slowly but surely, you began to defeat the upper level. Your programmers have never been more proud than that. However, the plan was ruined when Midou Ban showed up and brings you out of Mugenjou."
"Wait a second! You lied! You said that I am a program. But I can go outside of Mugenjou! You can't fool me!" said Ginji suddenly and loudly, almost shouted.
Kageruma kept cool, like he has knew this would happen.
"The one who programmed is you, not your body. It seems you have a wrong idea. The truth is, in the exact time of your birth, there was a big thunder from the sky, according to an old legend, it is the reincarnation of Thor, the God of lightning, which showed up once in a thousand years. The thunder hit Mugenjou, and infected the newly born AI program, you. As for the result, you've gained a solid body of a boy.
Ginji stood silence. Trying hard to understand the meaning.
" For the Brain Trust, it was a biggest lucky thing they've got. Because the weakness of AI and the virtual is that they have no solid body outside Mugenjou."
The voodoo king paused a few seconds to see if Ginji really understand the meaning.
Ginji think about MakubeX, Ren, and the other virtual soul who have no solid body outside Mugenjou. But he still couldn't accept it.
"You lied! It can't be true!" shouted the blonde-haired youth.
Ginji ran and ran, outside the room, and jumped out a window, the only thing he cared now is just go down to Lower Town and his friends. However, it strange. He couldn't make himself attached to metal bars of windows anymore. He couldn't be a magnet. He kept falling down and down. Moreover, when his body was pushed away from the building by the wind, he noticed that his body was disappearing as he kept further from Mugenjou, just like MakubeX when the computer boy tried to leave Mugenjou long time ago.
"Am I going to die?" he questioned himself.
Suddenly, his hand pulled by a single line of thread to the fortress. Then, a pair of feminine hands caught his body.
"Ginji-san?! Are you alright? How come you fall from the sky?" asked Fuuchouin Kazuki worriedly.
"Kazu…chan?" said Ginji weakly after recognized the face and the sound of his savior. With all of his power gone, he felt so powerless.
"Where is… Ban-chan"
"He went ahead to face Raitei and I was supposed to But how come you can be here while Raitei is up ahead??" answered Kazuki un-patiently.
"That's a long story. Where are the others?"
"In an open field outside. MakubeX spotted the trace of Raitei there."
"I want to go there.." Ginji stand up and hardly walk. Without all of his usual power, his body felt heavy and hard to move. And he realize too, that the further from the huge super computer he saw earlier, the weaker his strength. After a few steps, he fell down. Kazuki caught his body before it touch the ground.
"Let me help you, Ginji san." Kazuki wrapped Ginji's arm around his body and help him walk. Despite the slender body Kazuki has, he has enough strength to help one of his best friends.
Midou Ban felt some familiar feeling of his partner. But he ignored it this time. He thought it's just his senses that screwed up after all the incident he met that day.
After some effort, they found the exact location of Raitei. Ban recognized it as the place he first met Raitei. And there he was, standing there face to face with the lightning emperor.
Raitei turned his head to the jagan user. He exchanged sharp glare with his emotionless, champagne-colored eyes with the snake-like sapphire eyes.
"What do you want? This is my territory. You have no right even to stand here."
"Lightning bastard, do you know what year is now? VOLTS era has finished."
"If it has finished, I'll just start a new one."
"Enough of this bullshit!!! Now give it back! Give him back his body! Give me back my partner!!" shouted Ban.
"He? Who?"
"It's Ginji, you bastard!" Ban attacked Raitei with the snake bite, and he dodged it easily.
"Oh, that weakling… the one who always be a hindrance, right?" said Raitei casually while dodging another snake bite.
"Take it back!" Ban activated the Asclepios, which transformed one of his hands to a dragon's-like claw, and scratched Raitei's left hand. Raitei was quite surprised when some fresh blood came out from his wound.
MakubeX yelled, "Careful, Midou-san! That's Ginji-san body he is fighting with!"
"I know! Shut up!" But inside, Ban was worry too. He knew of the unbelievable healing speed of Raitei, but what if he accidentally cut of an arm or two? He wasn't sure that can be healed that quickly.
After spend some time for heal his wound, Raitei expressed his annoyance of the boy by shot some plasma balls to MakubeX. After all, MakubeX was his primary target.
The Kakei siblings tried to block the attack, but the plasma ball burned Sakura's silk, melted Juubee's needles, knocked both of them out of the battlefield.
"Juubee, Sakura!!" cried the young king of Lower Town.
Ban prevented Raitei to attack MakubeX by kept him busy. He launched a fierce attack after another. Attacking, blocking, dodging, again and again. It wasn't easy at all. He don't want to crushed his enemy's body, but he kept being forced to.
"Ginji, stop this!" shouted Ban
"I'm not him! How dare you compare me to that weakling! You fool! How can you get back something that not exists anymore!" Raitei shouted back.
"What did you say?!" Ban stopped moving.
"I say, he's gone! Gone for good."
Ban's eyes turn wide by surprise. And he remembered his promise long time ago.
FLASHBACK
"Well, lightning bastard? Are you coming with me, or not?" asked 16 years old Midou Ban.
16 years old Ginji kept silence. He wanted to go and leave Mugenjou. He wanted to join the GetBackers. But…
"What if I turn to Raitei again and destroy the outside world?"
"I won't let you. I'll turn you back, even if he resist."
"But what if I can't come back again?"
"…… It doesn't matter now, just decide!"
"Midou," said the spiked blond youth.
"What now, lightning bastard?"
"Promise me something. If I… If I turn to Raitei completely and won't able to turn back, please do…"
"Do what?"
"Kill me." Ginji finished his sentence.
"What the…"
"Just promise me you'll do it! I know you can… I know you are the only one who can! Please, I beg you, Midou!!" cried Ginji
"Alright, alright! Ok, fine."
FLASHBACK END
At that time, he doesn't know that he would really do as he promised now. (or so he thought…)
"Ginji, to think that I will really fulfilled my promise.."
"Hey, what the hell are you mumbling?" asked Raitei with annoyance.
Ban raised his head and face Raitei.
"…I'm sorry"
Ban attacked Raitei without hesitate and hit him again. This time, he didn't give Raitei time to recover. Raitei hardly dodged it.
"Damn that Godzilla paw…" mumbled Raitei. He tried to call a thunder to strike Ban, but the claw always got in the way. They fought with over-human's speed and power, even MakubeX could hardly see what's going on. This battle result cannot be calculated. They tried to kill the other, without hesitate and mercy. The Kakei siblings got their hands full to protect MakubeX from the impact of the battle. The building ruins around them became a lot like ruins when the Asclepios claw crush it, or some electric balls hit it hard.
With his full power, Ban managed to make some nearly fatal wounds on the blond's body. Just as Raitei thought he was going to lose, he noticed something. His hidden trump card, which nobody realized.
Raitei charged a big, powerful plasma ball and threw it as strong as he could to his enemy. Ban let the so-obvious straight attack hit an alleyway behind him.
"Argh!!" Someone screamed when the stone ruins rained him. Ban surely knows the voice very well. That's why his jaw dropped and his heart skipped a beat. That can't be..
MakubeX' eyes became wide by surprise, as well the Kakei siblings. Kazuki shocked too, because he didn't realized when the stones rain onto the one he should protect in front of him. All he remembered was a single moment when the blond haired youth pushed his slender body when there was a big explosion.
However, the most surprised and shocked was Midou Ban. He let a scream out of his mouth when he recognized a body under the stones ruin.
"GINJI!!!!!" Without thinking, he ran as fast as he could to his partner.
Raitei silently smiled victoriously.
(Still) to be continued...
