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…
