Chapter 7
Miyata made his way down to the Slifer dorms prepared to talk with Banner about the events of last night. When he arrived to the Dorms he went to Banner's office but froze at what he heard.
"Are all the preparations in place with the boy?" A robotic voice spoke from the speakers of Banner's computer.
"Yes, yes he seems oblivious to what's been going on. Soon it'll be as if Miyata Seki never existed." Banner spoke to the voice on his computer screen.
Hearing this Miyata took a step back causing a stick to crack loudly under his foot.
"Who's there?!" Banner snapped more than asked causing Miyata to take off running.
"What the hell was that?" Miyata asked himself. "I need to let Sheppard know!"
Miyata ran all the way to Chancellor Sheppard's office. Knocking on the door he didn't even wait to be told to enter before he barged into the bald man's office.
"Miyata?" Sheppard asked. "Is everything ok?"
Speaking between trying to catch his breath Miyata tried explaining what he heard. "Banner… he's… one… of them."
"Whoa, whoa slow down a second son." Sheppard spoke. "One of who?"
"One of the guys that have been coming after me. I over heard his talking to someone on his computer about how soon it's gonna be like I never existed." Miyata said in a slight panic.
"Now Miyata I hope you understand how big of an accusation this is?" Sheppard said folding his hand on his desk. "All of our staff here went threw extensive background checks before being hired. If Professor Banner was one of these fellows there's no way he would be able to hide it." He tried to reassure the young man.
"I know what I heard Sheppard!" Miyata snapped.
"Alright, alright." The Chancellor sighed. "I'll look into it but without reasonable proof there isn't anything I can do about it for the time being. Just try to relax and act like everything is normal for now."
"Thank you Chancellor." Miyata said before leaving.
Timeskip
A couple days had passed since he talked to the Chancellor, there was still no word about any information on Banner and Miyata was starting to worry. His friends also started to notice something wasn't right as he had started to distance himself from everyone.
"I wonder what's been going on with Miyata?" Bastion asked, talking to Syrus and Alexis.
"I don't know he hasn't talked to me in a few days now." Alexis said sadness clear in her voice. "I hope it wasn't something I did."
"I really don't think so Alexis. He's always his happiest with you." Syrus tried to reassure her. "Maybe we should just confront him about it." He suggested.
"At this point I have to agree." Said Bastion nodding in agreement.
"Ok, so how are we going to do it then?" Asked Alexis. "He hasn't even been coming to class."
"We'll do it tonight." Said Bastion sticking his finger in the air. "He can't ignore us if we are in his room with him."
That night the three friends gathered around the outside to Miyata's room. Syrus was the first to speak up. "Bastion I think you should knock." He said nervously.
"Alright." Bastion said knocking on the door. There was no answer so he checked the door to see it was unlocked. Slowly turning the handle they made their way inside, when they got in what they seen was utterly horrifying. Miyata was laying there lifelessly wrists slit in a puddle of blood.
"MIYATA!" Screamed Alexis tears flooding her face as the three ran to where he was.
"He's got a pulse!" Bastion shouted placing his fingers on his neck to check. "Hurry we need to get him to Nurse Fontaine!" He then picked his friend up piggy back style and they took off towards the nurse's office.
"He's losing a lot of blood." Syrus finally spoke up. "If we don't get there quick he really could die."
"Yes, the cuts are deep. He must have cut down to the tendons." Bastion said still running with his friends.
Alexis stayed silent still crying profusely.
When they got to the nurse's Syrus pounded on the door. When it opened a sleepy looking Fontaine answered. "What are you guys doing here so-" She was cut off when she seen the young man a bloody mess. "Oh my god!" She said. "Quick get him in here and lay him down!"
Bastion rushed over to a bed and laid his friend down. Nurse Fontaine then ran over to assess the damage.
"He's definitely cut the tendons! I'll need to stitch the wounds." Fontaine spoke grabbing some gauze rags. "Syrus, Alexis I need you two to put pressure on his wounds while I get the stuff together to sow him up!" She ordered handing the 2 students the rags who did as they were told.
"He's lost a lot of blood! He'll need to be helicoptered to a hospital when we get the bleeding under control." Said Fontaine as she made her way to the side Syrus was on and started stitching up his arm.
After a while his wounds were fully stitched up, Bastion and Syrus sighed a breath of relief. Both men were covered in their friend's blood, Alexis however was on the floor knees to her chest and head buried in her knees. Fontaine was currently on the phone with the 911 dispatch who was getting ready to send a helicopter to pick Miyata up.
"Alright." Fontaine spoke , hanging up the phone. "The helicopter is on its way. Bastion can you help me move him out to the landing area?"
"Yes ma'am." He answered lifting his friend back into his back as they prepared to leave.
Outside, they all gathered around as the helicopter came into view. "Ahh, they're finally here." Syrus said in relief.
"Alright Bastion lay him down on this stretcher so they can easily lift him into it." Ms. Fontaine ordered. "Alexis I think you should go with him, I'll explain to all your teachers why you're unable to make it to class."
Alexis only nodded silently still in shock at seeing her bloodied boyfriend. When the helicopter landed 3 men hopped out, 2 of them loaded Miyata into the helicopter and were followed by Alexis. The last man talked with nurse Fontaine getting more information on his condition.
Timeskip
Miyata and Alexis were in the hospital, Miyata was in the bed hooked up to a blood transfusion while Alexis slept with her head in his lap dried tears staining her face. The doctor walked in holding a clipboard with some papers on it.
"Excuse me, Ms. Rhoads?" The doctor asked waking her from her light sleep.
"Yes?" She asked praying for good news.
"It seems your friend has lost a lot of blood, it's a miracle he's even alive." He said not wanting to meet her gaze. "Luckily you guys found him when you did and we were able to get him hooked up for transfusions but he probably won't wake up for at least a few days as long as there aren't any complications."
"Complications?" She asked. "What complications could there be?"
"Hypovolemic Shock, is our biggest concern. He's lost a lot of blood so we are keeping watch to make sure there isn't any organ failure."
With this Alexis went wide eyed and shot a concerned look to Miyata who still laid there unconscious.
The doctor then went and checked his vitals before leaving the room.
A couple hours passed and Miyata started shifting in his sleep. "Stop…don't… dad…" He mumbled causing Alexis to look at him a bit worried and confused.
In Miyata's Head
A grown Miyata was reliving his past as he watched the events from that night yet again. "Miyata, close your eye's hunny you don't need to see this." His mother said crying as his father brought down the knife on her causing a blood curdling scream to fill the air.
"MOMMM!" The present day Miyata screamed watching the events unfold. Dropping to his knee's he watched as his dad came and grabbed his past self to bring him to the room with strange markings. He followed his dad and himself down to the basement where his dad was saying the weird incantations until the room went white. Now he stood in a different scene, one not from his memories.
"Hello again young Miyata." It was Roman, standing there in his usual black robed attire.
"Y-you! Where am I?" Miyata asked shocked, looking around the blank black space around him.
"You are in the shadow realm.. or at least stuck in between. You nearly died young one and we can't have that happen just yet." Roman spoke.
"What are you talking about?" Asked Miyata wondering what the strange man meant.
"What I mean is you are the key to bring about the destruction of the world you know, but you are also the only thing that can save it. Because of you the Earthbound Immortals have been freed from their prison and I cannot thank you enough." Roman then let out a maniacal bellowing laugh. "See when you attempted to take your life the prison weakened just enough for them to be set free now everything is set in stone and my plan has finally moved forward. You're currently unconscious in a hospital bed unable to do anything about it." He then waved his had showing Miyata the image of Alexis sitting over his near lifeless body.
With Alexis
"Please wake up.. please.." She cried hoping her words would reach her boyfriend. Just then the whole hospital shook as tremors erupted from the ground snapping her back to reality.
The doctor ran in the room where she and Miyata were. "You need to evacuate it isn't safe here!" He demanded.
She shook her head. "No I can't leave him here!"
As she said this a group of 6 men in purple robes appeared.One of them then stabbed the doctor causing him to hit the ground in agonizing pain.
"AHHHH!" She screamed clasping her hands over her mouth.
One of the men she recognized as Lumis proceeded to grab her but before he was able to reach her a hand took a hold of his wrist nearly breaking it under the pressure.
"What the hell!" He shouted. "Get him off of me!"
This caught Alexis' attention as she looked over and gasped at what she saw. Grabbing the man's hand was no other than Miyata Seki.
"T-that's.. impossible… he.. shouldn't be.. able to move yet." The doctor groaned from his place on the ground as the other dark hunters all stood in shock at the scene in front of them.
Down the hall you could hear footsteps running towards them as a figure barged his way into the room. "Son!" He shouted causing everyone who stood there to turn. Standing the was Seto Kiaba, he was in his usual white trench coat with his duel disk positioned and readied on his arm. He pushed his way pass the group of men and took hold of Miyata's arm bringing the young man to his senses.
