Warning! Warning! Experiment no. 2 has escaped! Warning! Warning!
The sound of the alarm rings through the platinum haired boy's ear. His low silverfish ponytail swished back and forth, from side to side. His breath became unstable, due to the running he had for quite a time and his unused legs. Having a hard time balancing his fragile body, he dropped down to the cold metal floor.
"There he is! Get him!"
Hearing some Marionette voices, he stood up and began to run again with his bare feet. No, he wasn't running to get out from the facility, he was searching for a certain chamber.
A chamber that they kept his friend.
"Shuu…"

Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots. All in the right target.
"What an amazing accuracy. I heard he's only 13."
"Seriously? That's must be the reason he was sent right into Minamisawa's team!"
"Look! He scored a perfect score again!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The navy haired Marionette straightens up from his shooting position. 'That's enough for today.'
Truthfully, he heard all of the voices, the conversations, the gossips about him. He can't deny them though, because almost all of it was true. He is the youngest Marionette there and he does have amazing accuracy. Not only he can shoot amazing, his swordsmanship is great too. But he wasn't the best Marionette, remembering he had a whip on his face because of his own fault.
But when it comes to magic, he's no match for his brunette friend. The boy has been using magic since they first met and he keeps getting better at it, like the 'Spiral Draw' that he has used in the last event.
"Tsurugi? It's a day off you know," Kurama suddenly showed up out of nowhere and patted his shoulder, "Why don't you go somewhere?"
The bluenette was right. He is now wondering why did he practices on a day off, and he finally decided to take a walk around the Market. Still hearing some people chatters about him, he sighed.
Too bad he would be betraying them in one of these days.
"Aoi, did you see my tie? I really need it now…."
Tenma walked out from his room, wearing a complete suit. White shirt, black vest, coat, and long pants, all he need now is a tie.
"Oh, are you going for a meeting?" Aoi said with a smile, "What kind of plan that he has again?"
"I don't know, that's why I'm meeting her sister," Tenma loosen up his collar, "Now where's my tie?"
"Here, here~,"
The Market has nothing interesting for Tsurugi. He just wandered around the place aimlessly, not knowing where should he go. The navy Marionette sighed, if only he could talk with his brunette friend again—
—and now he saw the one that he had thought waiting on a bench at the Market Point, wearing a complete formal suit and a pair of black lined glasses.
Covering his face with his Marionette cap, he hides behind a tree, 'What is he doing there?'
Then suddenly a girl with pink hair that tied into two low braids came up to him. One thing that comes in Tsurugi's mind :
Lolita.
She was wearing a black and pink dress, pink tights with a black Mary Jane shoes, and pink gloves that goes to her elbow. With a black small hat that full of ribbons placed on her head, she is definitely a Lolita dresser.
Tenma looked up to her and smiled a bit. Due to the distance that he is in, Tsurugi can't hear what are they talking, and suddenly the brunette stood up and walked away with the girl, heading out from the Market. Following them slowly, Tsurugi kept in a distance with them. He wondered where are they going and most importantly,
Who is that girl?
The navy Marionette stared at them as they went inside to a building. A familiar building to the Marionette. That building was a place for the rich peoples of the Raimon District to hang out. The Golden Mine.
Well, it's not really a trouble for him, because he is a Marionette and he certainly has all the access to everyplace in the Raimon District. What he is troubling at is, what would he order there? He can't just get in there, sit on one of the chairs and just stare at the two. And unfortunately, he had spent half of his money for a new gun.
So specifically, he probably would just order a tea. Or just a mineral water.
Tenma sighed while he wandered his eyes through the menu. Nothing interests him though.
"Don't you want to order something? My treat," the pink haired girl said to him, and he shook his head, "Probably only a cup of earl grey tea."
She stared at the brunette for a while then shrugged. Calling the waiter, she rings the bell on the table, "Two cup of earl grey and blueberry cheesecake please," the waiter writes down her order and nods, then he left. Tenma looked at the girl with a serious look, "What is your brother planning again? Thank goodness I can excuse my work for today. You know my boss,"
She nodded, "Yes, I know your boss, Tenma-kun, you don't need to explain that to me at each meeting," her order came up shortly and she began sipping her tea, "Remember the Kidou Facility?"
Tenma cringed at the said facility, "Urgh, don't make me remember that place. It smells like metal and nuclear mixed up together with a touch of medicine. And it's full of scientist that laughed like maniacs. It's like an mechanical asylum. Thank god the last time I went there was just to retrieve Hikaru's order. What was it, a radioactive substance or something?"
The girl nodded, "You know that's the only building left in God Eden. I'm still wondering why they still stood up after the Nuclear Tragedy though," she sipped her tea again, "They said the facility is taken by Senguuji now."
Choking his tea, the brunette looked at the girl shockly, "What? Kidou-san would never gave in to them!"
"I know," the pink haired girl starts to cut her cheesecake and took a bite, "My brother's plan this time was to retrieve the Zero Experiment before they know what those two can do. After that, then we'll talk again. More importantly, Experiment no. 2 has escaped from its chamber."
"Hakuryuu? Seriously? The one who can open the chambers was only Kidou-san and her sister. No one else," Tenma said, finally sipping his tea. But when he stared at the place, he found someone that looked familiar that's not really far from where they sat.
'Kyousuke? What is he doing here?'
"It looks like he went out himself. Probably because of a power outburst," the girl gulped her last piece of her cake, "And we can't let him wander alone, he can destroy the facility or even himself,"
The brunette nodded, "And I suspect you have figured out how to get in the facility? It's not like I can go in there freely again,"
Smiling sweetly, she said, "Of course. And this time it's only you who can do it."
Sighing, Tenma slapped his forehead, "Not one of your crazy ideas again, Yuuka-san…,"
Covering his face with the menu book, Tsurugi peeked to the table that Tenma and the girl had sat. They looked like talking about something serious, and then Tenma slapped his forehead. 'What are they talking about?'
Suddenly Tenma blushed madly and looks like he's shouting to the girl in front of her. But the girl didn't budge, she just smiled and sipped her tea. And then they finally stood up, paid the bill and went out. Tsurugi stoods up also, but he remembered he just has sat there and didn't even order anything. Right now the waiter is glaring at him coldly, making him feel guilty.
But would he actually care? Nope. He went outside to catch up at them and found nothing outside. He wandered his eyes around the building's park and start to run, searching for his brunette friend. 'It can't be….. I lost them?'
THUD!
A loud bump was heard. Looks the Marionette has crashed into someone, "Ah, sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going—,"
"Are you sure, Kyousuke?"
Hearing his name called, he shot up his head to see who has called. Tenma was standing before him and had his hand folded on his chest, "Are you following me?"
"E-eh! No! I mean Yes! No, no!"
Sighing, Tenma helped his navy haired friend stand up, "You're not good at lying, Kyousuke, mostly when you're lying at me,"
Tsurugi finally stood up with a faint blush on his face, "Sorry," he stared at the girl that is beside the brunette, "Tenma, who is her actually?"
Tenma stared at Tsurugi and then at Yuuka that was showing a 'aren't-you-going-to-introduce-me' face. Sighing, the brunette smiled crookedly,
"It's a long story…,"
Once again, Tsurugi sighed. Yesterday finally Tenma told him everything until about Yuuka's plan. He himself can't help to blush when he heard the plan, but finally Tenma did it.
Now he is inside a car with Minamisawa and Kurama heading over to God Eden District, with and additional member.
He can't even turn his head to his side, to the additional member that is sitting gracefully, with his brunette extended hair flows at his back and with that black skirt that covers his thighs, the member looked extremely cute with his grayish blue eyes.
Yes, Tenma is covering as a girl Marionette. And boy, he acted good at it!
The navy haired Marionette recalled Yuuka's plan yesterday, due to Tenma's face is quite recognizable as a part of Diamond Wing, he should dress as a girl Marionette, not an ordinary Marionette. And now he wondered, why does Tenma acted really good at being a girl?
"Yuuichi-san said that acting might come in handy, so I learned it," Tenma smiled at Tsurugi while the Marionette stared at him in shock, how could he read his mind?
"I'm not reading you mind, Kyo—Tsurugi, I'm reading your face," he answered again. Is his face that easy to read?
He recalled the event before they get in the car.
"Minamisawa, your team and you would be checking the Kidou Facility today. I heard that they had trouble with their experiments, go and fix that."
The purple haired boy nodded, "Yes, Headmaster."
"Oh, and there's an additional member for your team, Ishido-sama's request,"
A little confused, Minamisawa stared to a girl that came from the Headmaster's back. He widen his eye a bit and blushed, who would have thought that his additional member would be a cute girl?
"This is Natsukane Tenko. She would be joining you appointment for today, don't underestimate her,"
"Yes, Headmaster."
The Headmaster left and leaves the team with their additional member. Tsurugi stared at the girl. He already knew this would happen. But he didn't expect that his brunette friend would be this… cute?
"Hello there, Tenko-chan," Kurama walked closer to her (or him) and grinned slyly to her, "You're a cute one aren't you?"
Tsurugi flinched at the statement that Kurama has just said, "O-oi, Kura—,"
"Oh really? That's so sweet of you! Let me gave you a hug!" Tenko –who is actually Tenma— said sweetly to Kurama and cuddled him, roughly. Kurama was shocked at her power was struggling, "Tenko-chan, you're going to kill me—,"
Tenma released him and smiled sweetly again, "Serves you right~,"
The navy haired Marionette stared at his friend unbelievably.
"We're here!"
All of the Marionettes in the car opened the door and stepped out. They stared at the entrance that was covered by Marionettes lines (like police lines) and Minamisawa walked closer to it. He clicked something on its arc and a small keyboard and a screen came out. He typed in something and then the entrance was opened. He stepped in to the deserted land when Kurama stopped him, "Aren't we going with the car?"
Shaking his head, Minamisawa walked deeper, "Cars are not allowed to pass this point."
Grumbling about walking, Kurama finally stepped in the black sands with Tsurugi and Tenko (from here I will type Tenma as Tenko) following on his back.
The view was both captivating and desperate. It was black sands everywhere without plants or any signs of living being. The sands were cold, as if the sun never shines on them anymore.
Suddenly a mouse-looking creature went out from the sand in front of Minamisawa. It was looking very creepy and disgusting, with rotten body and blood everywhere. The purple haired boy was in shock, he didn't do anything. In this state, he would be attacked by the mouse!
Bang!
The mouse was suddenly dead, with a bullet passes through its head. Minamisawa looked back to see who shot the mouse. It was Tenko.
"Be careful. Mutated and undead creatures might appear like before, due to the nuclear reaction," the crossdressing boy said, putting away his new Tonfa that was in the packet that Shindou gave him.
Nodding, the purple haired boy began to walk again towards the facility. The walk wasn't easy, mutated creatures that has gone rotten keep showing up from the sands, attacking them. All of them four finally had their own weapons in hand, ready to defend them self.
The sandy land before them suddenly shook really hard, making them lose their balance. And then,
A giant scorpion-looking creature with tons of eyes shot up from the sandy ground, staring at them, hungrily.
"We should have gone with the car," Kurama grumbled.
Typing things into his computer, Shindou stared at the screen intently. He's currently in the Gassan Kunimitsu District's Diamond Wings Weaponry Headquarters. His main base wasn't there actually, he was supposed to be at Raimon District. But since the Nuclear Tragedy that ate his best friend, he decided to investigate the tragedy at Gassan Kunimitsu District.
Come and think of it, he's been there for a long time but he still haven't got a single clue about the sudden explosion. Could it be Senguuji was doing it in purpose or the whole tragedy was just an accident?
He stared outside the window, sighing. He sometimes feels that he has lose hope on the investigation, but he somehow managed to keep trying until now.
There's actually nothing interesting outside for the prodigy—
—other than a suspicious looking truck.
He narrowed his eyes to the truck. He can see that the vehicle was stopping and a bunch of Marionettes went out to open the back door of the truck. They let out some kind of an incubator, containing a short black haired person. He knew what it was, a human experiment. He heard the Kidou Facility was developing it for extending the lives of human beings, but then again, the facilty has gone into Senguuji's hands and he probably would use the experiment for other things,
Such as human weapon.
And then, Shindou finally decided to open a screen-call to the Main Headquartes.
"Yuuichi-san, come in, this is important!"
To be Continued.
Wow, this is long ==" I know some of you may be disappointed in the story, but this is how the plot goes as I think of it and you are welcome to flame it if you don't like it. I already warned you up there.
But things will get interesting from here and someone you thought that was dead would probably pop-up and explain things!
Read and review guys!
