Chapter Three- A Farewell and a Welcome
-Dryfield- Mojave Desert, Nevada-
I was packing my bags for my mission but…
Alice: Nggh *breathing heavily* Man I have a lot of stuff and clothes
*Someone knocks the door*
Alice: Who is?
¿?: It's me Eve!
Alice: Come in!
Eve opened the door and got into my apartment
Eve: Wow that's a lot of things
Alice: Yeah I know
Eve: And what are you packing?
Alice: Oh well it's some casual clothes, shoes, and some stuff.
Eve: Like?
Alice: Like my ODPD (Overdive Portable Device-It's a transportable form to do the Overdive from any part of the world.) and some ammo and guns.
Eve: Hm… Are you sure to carry all those things with you of the airport?
Alice: Yes I have no prob with that
I saw Eve so distant looking to the outside
Alice: Something wrong?
Eve: Well everyone is going to miss you Here*looking down* and there *pointing to the risk*
Alice: I know. But there nothing you can do now to stop this. I'm on the mission.
Eve: *sigh*
She was looking sad. We were by ourselves after Aya was gone
Alice: Ok
Eve: ¿? Hm?
Alice: You can come to take me to the airport with Gabrielle and Maeda
Eve: Really?
Alice: Sure.
Eve: That's great!
We give ourselves a big hug and we finished packing my things and stuff
Alice: Finally.
Eve: Saying the same. *breathing heavily* you have some water?
Alice: Yes Here *giving her a bottle of water*
Eve: Thanks. *drinking* Um Alice?
Alice: Yes?
Eve: Are you going to something tonight?
Alice: I was planning to take a last flight around the place…
Eve: Oh really? *sad face*
Alice: But I can be free for tonight
Eve: Sooo Go to the HQ around the eight ó clock!
Alice: Ok
I didn't know what Eve wanted to mean with that but let's what she's planning
-Around the 8:00, CTI HQ-
I want to the HQ but no one was around there
Alice: Hello? Is anyone there? "Strange I can feel a lot of presences around but I can't locate them clearly"
I continue walking around the place until I reach a door
Alice: ":! What the…? They're behind this door And why everyone are here?"
I opened the door slowly and got in
Alice: "Damn it. It's too dark to see around."
Then the lights turn on
Everyone: Surprise!
I got very excited and embarrassed for seeing everyone there. I look around and I saw a cake, some balloons, party hats,
Alice: Oh My… For who is this party?
Eve: For you Alice. It's a farewell party, everyone wanted to do it to thank you for all the things you do for us and we hope you come back in one piece.
Alice: Aww I can't believe it. You do this for me?
Gabrielle: Yes
Blank: We wanted to wish you a good and safe trip
Maeda: You're someone very special for us
Alice: Really?
Cray: Yes rookie
I felt so happy knowing my friends and colleagues are there to be with me one more time. But someone wasn't there…
Alice: Eve?
Eve: Hmm? Yes Alice?
Alice: And Daniel?
Eve: He didn't wanted to come
Alice: Why?
Eve: Cuz I invited his son.
Alice: Ben's here?
Eve: There (pointing to Ben and Maeda) talking.
Alice: Oh I see him.
I walk to where were Maeda and Ben
Alice: Hi, Ben
Ben: Alice!
He got surprised when he saw me
Alice: Look at you! You're a man now!
Ben: Yes and also a great cop.
Alice: Where?
Ben: In New York
Alice: Just like your father…
Ben: …
I knew by looking Ben's eyes, he wasn't happy for something about Daniel.
Alice: Hm, Ben?
Ben: Yes?
Alice: Can you come with me?
Ben: Sure
He followed me without saying a word. He knew that I had to talk with him alone about something (mostly relationed with his father)
-Inner Garden, Inside the CTI-
Alice: Here
Ben: Where we are?
Alice: It's the Inner Garden. Here lies Aya's Tomb.
Ben: I miss Aya.
Alice: Me too, Ben. Me too.
We stopped in front of some beautiful plants and we started to talk
Ben: So, why we're here?
Alice: We're here because I wanted to talk with you about your father
Ben: He never wanted for me to become a cop just like he. Why he didn't want that for me?
Alice: Knowledge of the danger of being a cop, he didn't want to lose you. You're his only family left.
Ben: Ejem…
Alice: Well you, your wife and your children.
(Yes Ben got married and had twins their names are Daniel and Wayne Bolis)
Ben: Yes I know but…
Alice: But what?
Ben: But I wanted to be like he and Aya. And defend my family just like did for me!
I got surprised by what Ben said. He really wanted to be so strong like Daniel.
Alice: Ben…
Ben: Yes?
Alice: You must talk with your father and tell him what we talked here. And try to be together again
Ben: I'm going to do that right now. Do you know where he is?
Alice: Let me find him.
I closed my eyes and when I opened them my color of eyes were emerald green
Ben: Wow! When you use your powers always happens that?
Alice: Yes. And…. I found him! He's on his office
Ben: Thanks and good luck with your mission.
Alice Thank you
After Ben went to talk with his father, I go back to the party, then something…
Bum bum
I felt like an old enemy has come back
Alice: Hm? A heartbeat? No way, but she's dead. Maybe I'm dreaming.
-Unknown Place-
On a dark and gloomy place, there's a woman using a black hooded cape looking through a some kind of crystal ball watching me
¿?: So your powers have grown so high. I never waited that from you. But your powers won't be enough to kill me again. Hahahaha…
-Three days later, Las Vegas Airport-
Gabrielle: We're here everyone!
Maeda: *sigh* I can't believe it. You're leaving us
Alice: Yeah
Eve: *sigh*
Alice: Eve…
Gabrielle: Common Alice you can't miss your flight!
Alice: In a minute!
Eve still felt sad because I'm leaving her alone against those monsters
Alice: Eve I just…
Eve: It's ok. By the way you're bringing me something from there and come back alive, right?
Alice: Yes I promise
We cross our pinkies to make it official our promise
Alice: Don´t worry ok?
After that we walked until we get to the part of the departs and say everyone goodbye for now.
Speaker: Flight 36 with destination to Tokyo, Japan. Please passengers aboard quickly.
Alice: It's time Bye!
Gabrielle, Maeda and Eve: Be careful!
Alice: I will!
-Inside the plane-
Flight attendant: Here Seat g-3 next to the window
Alice: Thank you
Flight attendant: You're welcome. Anything else?
Alice: No for now thanks
I put my bags on the compartment over the seat and I sit down.
Alice: "Japan here I go."
-In the Cross Academy-
It was nighttime, people were sleeping on their beds, everyone except a young girl…
Yuuki: "Hm… I need to find her. I need answers."
While she was trying to figure who was on her dream, a shadowy figure appears from the nowhere calling her name so calmly.
¿?: Yuuki..
Yuuki: Kaname-senpai.
Kaname: Something bothers you?
Yuuki: It's just a dream.
Kaname: Tell me
Yuuki: (blushing) Um… Well… …I… I don't know how to tell it.
Kaname: I see
Zero: Hey Yuuki
Yuuki: Zero! Wh-what´re you doing here?
Zero: I came for you. The principal wants to see us.
Yuuki: (To Zero) I'm going. (To Kaname)Sorry Kaname-senpai we could talk about this, another day.
Kaname: (To Yuuki) don't worry Yuuki. (To Zero) We'll see again Mr. Prefect
Kaname goes to his classroom, leaving Yuuki and Zero alone.
Zero: "Damn, how much I hate him."
Yuuki: "Zero…" Isn't the principal waiting for us?
Zero: Let's go.
Silently they walk through the corridors of the school. Empty, dark gloomy… anyone could be scared, but for them is normal see it
-Principal's Office-
The principal was alone on his office. It was pretty dark. Only a few candles lights the place. Suddenly that peace and calm was interrupted by a knocking of the door.
Prin. Cross: Come in!
The door opens slowly
Yuuki: Do you wanted to see us, principal?
Prin. Cross: Yes.
Zero: What's the matter?
Prin. Cross: An interchange student…
-Tokyo International Airport-
Alice: Here I am.
It felt different from the usual when I arrived, including the air. But something interrupted that calm.
AHHHH!
Alice: Huh?
Slacker appeared from the nowhere and attacked some people.
Alice: Cool I just arrive and the here comes the problems.
I prepared myself to shoot them
They had cornered some people in a little space, approaching to them when…
Alice: (whistles) Hey guys!
The Slackers turn to see
Alice: What about of a little game…
Two guns appeared on my hands and pointing to them, I said...
Alice: … don't you? (Smirk)
They approached to me when a round of bullets hit them
Alice: What the hell?!
¿?: Finally we met in person agent.
I turn my head to see who was talking to me
Alice: You! You're…?!
Shizune: I'm so pleased to be your partner, welcome to Japan.
Alice: (slowly down the guns) Th-Thanks.
I didn't know what more to say. While a lot of soldiers were cleaning the scene from the fight, Shizune was giving me some kind of warm welcome. I was wondering how they can react so fast, once I got into the HQ of here I'll knew it…
