Chapter 7: JP's

Aichi stopped from running and thought that he knows the voice, he told Joe that the person can be trusted and can ask for their help, then Aichi and others stopped on their tracks and Aichi called the person he thought it was "MAKOTO-SAN!"

The one in command now revealed as Makoto stopped and analyzed the voice she thought there were survivors, but why did the survivors know her name and then "I know that voice… quickly."

At Aichi and the others location can be heard footsteps coming on their way and the woman named Makoto showed herself to them. Joe was surprised but Aichi didn't notice.

"Aichi!" Makoto approached Aichi then Aichi and Joe puts down the person resting on their backs.

"What?! Akie." Makoto said.

"Hello" Joe said in a gleeful tone.

"Bring some stretchers." Makoto commanded the JP's staff "We need to look at you two too, go follow these staff they will take you to the place where the injured are taken."

"Got it." –Aichi

"OK" –Joe

Before Aichi, Joe and Alcor left Makoto noticed Alcor who has not much presence "Wait you're… Alcor" Makoto suddenly pulled out her cellphone as if ready to fight.

"Wait, what's going on here?" Aichi stopped and asked in confusion. "Joe-san knows Alcor and Joe-san and Makoto-san know each other and now Makoto-san is ready to fight Alcor" Aichi noticed the anger in Makoto's eye that made him even more confused.

"I don't even think this is the time and place that you should be doing that." Joes said smiling face and sweat drop and all.

Makoto sighed "I almost lost my cool, Thanks Akie, I'll have plenty of other chances and this is not one of those." Makoto slid her phone to her pocket and turned around "Take care you two, Aichi…"

"Yes?" Aichi was about to turn around when Makoto called.

"Be careful with him." Makoto then left running and ordered commands to the staff.

Even though Makoto didn't say who the person he needs to know to not trust, he already know who is she talking about then Aichi looked at Alcor sad and puzzled then they ran out of the building.

~At the JP's tents~

When they arrived at the place Makoto said, they were immediately treated by the people from JP's. Aichi looked at Alcor once again and saw that he refused any help from the JP's staff. Then after being treated by the people from the JP's they decided to stay for a while and wait for Misaki and Kamui to wake up. People are coming and going being treated and got their treatment.

"The place where you and Aichi's friend is, why are there so many dead there." The puzzling situation didn't get past Alcor but he know what actually had happened, he just opened the conversation for Aichi to know the truth.

Joe sighed "You've seen it right, there was a pillar in front of us that is sure would have killed us" Joe stopped and looked at Aichi "That kid is your friend right?"

Aichi was surprised he has mixed feelings because he knows but didn't admitted it "No way!" Aichi thought of what Hibiki told him "if you die your phone might go haywire. It all depends" (Chap 4)

"I think you understood. The reason there are many people dead there is because of that kid's phone and him himself." Joe looked grim.

"The user of the phone collapsed and didn't woke up, he got hit hard by something else and the phone lost control. It depends what will happen to the user or phone that connects to the demon." Alcor explained

"Is that so, it is impossible to be that place to have people killed…" Makoto said she was listening to their story, it looks like they finished searching the mall "It's understandable to some places with things that can pin them such as rack, shelf or sign that could fall but that is different, the pillar at your part was already damaged and got shattered. Thank you for the information Akie." Makoto made her way to a tent.

Misaki came out of a tent "Misaki-san" Aichi sighed of relief and stood up.

Misaki got close to them and looked away, her arms now embracing her and had a grim and scared look "I heard."

Aichi sat down again and wasn't able to say anything.

Makoto hastily made her way to Aichi and the others "Sendou, I'm afraid we have to take your friends considering the fact that they know about the summoning program or more specifically about the demons and head to the Headquarters for a better facility to take care of your friend." Aichi's face was grim and gloomy for what he had promised to prevent has happened "You and Kuze and the others have a meeting at the HQ right, it would be best of you guys come too, for his sake too." Aichi nodded and the others waited for the time to go.

"I'll just make a quick phone call." Aichi took his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, while waiting for the person being called to answer, Misaki asked Aichi "Who are you calling?" But before Aichi could answer "Ah, hello, Miwa-kun" Misaki was surprised to find out the receiver of Aichi's calls.

"Yo, Aichi what's up?" Misaki was listening to the conversation

"Uhm… Miwa-kun, there's been… a change of plans…" it seems that Aichi is having a hard time trying to continue the conversation.

"Aichi…" Miwa's said form the other side "The way you are speaking about the way that you can't say it properly only means one thing…" This two friends are very observant indeed or it is because Aichi is like an open book or both.

"If it is about 'that' we'll go there and help as fast as we can. Is what Kai's face looks like and also my thought." Miwa was grinning at this moment but unfortunately they won't be able to see it.

Aichi smiled "Thank you Miwa-kun and Kai-kun but it just occurred."

~At Kai and Miwa's side

they were both surprised and got cold sweat and wide eyes, almost panicked. "Oi Aichi, were are you!" Miwa almost shouted.

"Everything is okay… I hope… let's meet up at HQ." Aichi hung up.

"He hung up. Now it's getting really worrisome, I'll contact Hibiki." Kai nodded and Miwa dialed a number.

"Miwa, what's the matter?" Hibiki from the other side said seemingly dumbfounded at the sudden call.

"Aichi… he called, and I think something is up." Miwa blurted to Hibiki

To Hibiki's surprise "What happened to Aichi!?" Hibiki shouted through the phone whilst Miwa's phone was now far away from his ear.

"We actually don't know what happened yet, he wouldn't speak about it, he just hung up on us when he called us and just said let's meet up in the HQ" Miwa summarized which is really what they talked about too.

"Judging from that call I think he wants to say something but he's hiding it or it just hurts him that's why he ended it and said to just meet up at HQ." Kai and Miwa was thinking the same thing, and in Miwa's imagination if Kai has a showy side what Kai would look like now is a face welled up in anger and veins on his forehead are going to burst out and made Miwa snicker and Kai looked at Miwa as if he wants to kill the person on the other side and also the one holding the phone, to which Miwa could just look away and continued to listen to what Hibiki was saying. "Okay, let's meet up at Chiyoda Ward and then we will go to HQ and meet up with Aichi. Let's hear it from him."

"Okay got it, we're on our way"

~ Aichi's side~

Joe, Misaki and Alcor was silent looking at Aichi. "Are you sure you're alright Aichi?" Misaki asked.

"Everything is just starting at this point." Joe sighed

"Why did this had to happen again…" Aichi said in a sad tone, Alcor looked at Joe he wasn't glaring but Joe could feel that that gaze was saying that so he closed his mouth and made this (o3o) face.

0 0 ||| "Whooppssss… my bad…" was Joe's inner thoughts

3 ||||

"Okay the preparation are all done, you can now board." Makoto instructed and so they started to depart but before they could Makoto was glaring at Alcor to which Alcor smiled and said "Don't mind me…" to which Makoto sighed deeply.

Aichi was so worried and so confused that even the questions he was preparing to ask wasn't forming in his head and isn't coming out.

"Wait what?!" Misaki said in surprise looking outside from the window car.

"This earthquakes and the other past earthquake that doesn't seem to make sense" Makoto noted.

"Big earthquakes that doesn't have the same powerful damage." Alcor added.

"Welp let's just be thankful that even though it was a Big one it didn't do that kind of damage, well in other words it didn't do any damage at all." Joe said but making sure not say unnecessary stuff but the right words. Which sometimes but not always but though he can say at most times trying to make a good, cheerful and calm atmosphere that always break the ice.

"Even though it shook that strong it didn't do any damage, except the pole which was already faulty that the facility neglected, although certain things such as racks and shelves did fall, some were buried fortunately they did not perish although injured, the only casualties were only in that location. The quakes are different, some parts are scathed and some parts aren't" Makoto did not say anything further and looked at the mirror to check on Misaki and Aichi.

"Is it because of Demons that's doing the harm not the quakes?" Joe concluded.

The others stopped speaking to not be able to say unnecessary things any further and just looked from time to time to Aichi and Misaki's direction. But after some silence, Makoto broke the silence.

"Tokura right? Misaki Tokura, Aichi's friend." Makoto scooted to look at Misaki's direction.

"Yes, that's right." Misaki nodded.

"My name is Makoto Sako, Makoto is alright, pleased to meet you." Makoto smiled at Misaki. It was a reassuring and warm smile that made Misaki comfortable then Makoto added "Shouldn't you be calling your guardian? I am sure he must be very worried right now. We already called Katsuragi's parents"

"I only sent him a text when we were at the mall after the accident, maybe it should probably be the best if I called him." After Misaki has spoken those words she rummage through her pocket and looked for her phone. When she found it she dialed the number and called Shin.

"MISAKI!" said Shin in a loud tone that surprised Misaki, still it was understandable. "Misaki, are you alright, you weren't hurt right?"

Misaki couldn't hold back some tears although it didn't came out it was clear that she was about to. Of course it was understandable that it would happen since she just had a life and death experience and a very weird one at that. "I am alright Shin-san you don't have to worry, I am very well taken care of by the people who saved us. I'll be back after some further checkup."

"Okay… come back home safe." Shin said

"Yes…" Misaki then ended the call.

When Makoto and Misaki were conversing Aichi was already sending mails to his mother to let her know that he is safe, he cannot call her now since he was afraid that he would just stutter and his voice will show that he is not well resulting to his mother will figure out that he is not alright and she will become very worried, so as to not let her feel that, he thought that he should send her mails only and when the time comes that he is ready, he will call her.

When the conversation had finished they had already arrived at the Diet Building. When Aichi and the others have come down form the car he was restlessly looking right and left, looking for any sign from the others that he was supposed to meet.

"Let's go in." Makoto said and the others followed, Alcor was still following them too, Aichi didn't mind because he knew that Hbiki will lead Kai and Miwa to the HQ themselves so he followed Makoto.

~Inside the Diet Building~

They were led by Makoto to the underground level of the building. At the front of an elevator Makoto produced an ID card to authorize herself at a terminal. When they entered the elevator there were six floors underground to be able to go to the JP's Tokyo branch HQ. After some time a door with a logo of JP's met them and opened.

"Jips?" Misaki said trying to read the logo.

"Indeed it is read as Jips." Makoto said stepping out of the elevator.

When the others have stepped out, a huge facility spreads before their eyes, the facility was painted in the color gold, but the most noticeable in the whole facility was the huge clock at the center of the building aside from the big clock in the middle the whole place resembles a big library since when you look at your left and your right, everything is stocked with books or records on the wall.

Footsteps were heard from upstairs and coming down from it. The JP's members with them saluted and Makoto also. "My, my your late. Although this place should be off limits and I should ask that you leave immediately after you are checked and debriefed." Yamato said coming down from the stairs with Hibiki and the others following him behind with Kai and Miwa.

"Yamato…" Hibiki sighed and placed a hand on his head by the said person's remark.

"Although that is what I should say but it is different for now. Welcome to the Tokyo JP's headquarters. And I see that you brought someone along with you… is that right, Alcor" Yamato said eyeing Alcor from behind Aichi which Aichi is now looking at Alcor.

"Wait…!?" Daichi started "…Alcor!?" finished Hibiki, Io could only gasped and noticed someone familiar in the group "Oh, Hey Joe-san!" said Io.

"Yo! It's been awhile." Joe chirped.

"Oi Nee-chan are you alright!" Miwa said making his way towards Misaki's side and Kai was following suit looking at Alcor who is behind Aichi.

Misaki replied to Miwa while holding her arm "Yes, I'm fine but Kamui is not"

"Yeah, we heard…" Miwa said sadden by the unfortunate news.

"You are already here Alcor, It's been a long time, makes explaining things a little more easy and no more waiting also" Yamato stopped walking who is now in front of the group.

"I agree it's been a long time Yamato, you have changed this past few years." Alcor smiled at Yamato's change, he is thankful and relieved.

Aichi who was really confused at the moment spoke "What is going on, why everyone here knows you Alcor?" all of the group looked at Aichi but Yamato, Hibiki, Alcor and Kai were the most worried and confused too then Aichi continued "At the mall Makoto san looked like he knows Alcor who was ready to fight at any moment's notice then Joe-san knows him too." Then Aichi looked at Hibiki "Then Hibiki-san looks surprised that Alcor was here" and then looked at Yamato "And Yamato-san looked at Alcor like an obstacle or something." After saying those words Aichi looked down on the ground and silence filled the atmosphere. "I know this wasn't supposed to be what is important but I just don't understand I'm confused and …" Aichi stopped biting his lips.

"Aichi looks like he wanted to run but since he doesn't know the place he can't run around" =w= Joe blurted out.

Aichi flinch a little it seems that Joe hit the nail on the head and the whole group felt silent …

Yamato sighed "Explanations later, for now we should wait for your friend to wake up and go to a proper room for the discussion. While waiting you should stay to a room and rest for a while, I suggest calling your parents for you should be late to come home to you homes" after Yamato instructed those words, the others followed each personnel to their room.

Alcor didn't follow Aichi immediately except he was having an eye to eye with Alcor who with Hibiki who also stayed, but then before any tension arose, Aichi looked at their direction to which Alcor smiled and made his way to Aichi's side then Aichi smiled to which the two was surprised at the scene. Miwa followed Misaki to her room and Io asked to come so that he could check on Misaki, Makoto showed Joe his room with Daichi, and then Yamato went to a different place and Hibiki followed Alcor and Aichi.

~Aichi's Temporary residential room~

Aichi made his way to the bed and sat crouching on his legs and placed his head and his arms hugging his legs. Alcor stood beside Aichi and then turned to face Hibiki.

"Whenever you are at JP's this is the room for you to use anytime" Hibiki said closing the door.

"I don't know what to do anymore…" Aichi muffled but enough for the two to understand.

"Don't worry Aichi, it's not your fault, well do our best to help you and your friend well their best that is we can trust them." Hibiki said while slowly swatting down in front of Aichi.

Aichi took a peek on Hibiki and looked at Hibiki's eyes, he know he could trust him, it's just he doesn't trust himself is what is bothering him.

"Aichi…" Alcor spoke. Aichi is now looking at Alcor to Hibiki's surprise that made him thought that Aichi is listening to Alcor.

"Although you think that you trust them, then Aichi may I ask that can you truly say that you do if you yourself don't trust yourself?" Aichi had wide eyes on Alcor's comment. Even Hibiki was dumbfounded on what Alcor has told him.

"Although man may say that they trust others shouldn't the person saying that he trust them trust he himself first?" Alcor smiled at Aichi.

Hibiki thought to himself if this is the same Alcor that they used to know, although it's true that he helps others but it's the first time he heard him say encouraging words. Well different kind of encouraging words.

"I'm sacred…" Aichi said finally tearing up, this is different from saving the world from the void, this is literally life and death at any moment.

Unbeknownst to them Yamato was actually listening or the right thing to say was he was actually watching to their conversation in the room. Kai was behind the door listening to the conversation, he was supposed to knock but he thought that he was not the right person to be able to give him strength right now and just stopped at the door and listened till the end, until the time that he will need more encouragement.

Although Kai was heartbroken that he cannot do anything for Aichi who is now almost lost hope, however he was happy that there is someone who can give the right push for Aichi.

Hibiki frowned at Aichi's remark he know at some point Aichi will have a breakdown and possibly he was not the only one. They also had the same experience, but they were able to get the courage to fight back and face all obstacles given to them.

"Aichi…" Hibiki started and patted Aichi's head "I know that I shouldn't be saying this but get and muster the courage to fight and face all of this so that you can look up and say that I can protect everyone who is precious to me. It won't come to you in a flash but one day you will but until then it's alright to be weak and take it slowly we don't blame you." Hibiki smiled to the still crying Aichi.

After patting Aichi's head Alcor bent down a little to reach Aichi's face then as always, he did what he always do to comfort Aichi, he placed his hands to his cheeks and made their forehead touch much to Hibiki and Yamato's surprise then Alcor spoke "May I add Aichi… to do not think that you do this alone, always remember that there are friends who are always right by your side to help and be with you every step of the way." Aichi held one of Alcor's hand and put down his crouched legs.

Then Alcor finally let go of Aichi but Aichi was still holding one of Alcor's hands to which his smile didn't fade, then Aichi held one of Hibiki's and said "Thank you very much…" Aichi looked at Hibiki "…I will try my best little by little and will ask for your help…" Aichi was now looking at Alcor "… please don't leave my side again and support me."

"I won't leave again. I will stay by your side." Alcor reassured Aichi and did the same thing as Hibiki and patted his head then placed it on Aichi's cheeks.

Hibiki who was with them noticed and it didn't go past Yamato how comfortable Aichi is with Alcor and the word "don't leave my side again".

Although Hibiki knew that Alcor can be trusted both Yamato and he knows that he can pull string and they are a little worried about Aichi being too close with Alcor to the point where they thought that he was planning something again and Hibiki knew that he cannot let this one slide.

At the same time Yamato was already looking into Aichi all about his past and who Aichi Sendou is and his connection with the Anguised One if ever possible. Even a little information, but alas Aichi is well known as a Vanguard Champion Yamato had already found out about him and the others.

Outro: I am really really really sorry about the super duper late upload of this chapter, I was so focused on studies that I (even though it's hard to say) have forgotten about this T_T. Although I am not a good writer thank you for reading my story thank you for supporting and waiting.

Hhmm…. I haven't played the Break Record so I don't know the story there, and I only finished Daichi and Alcor's route in Devil Survivor 2, so I can't say if I'm doing this right. Still my reference is both anime and the DS game.

Hmm… no how to start a cross-over with this and that. Hahaha… I haven't even finished this and I am already thinking of making another one. Hmm… mainly though my story will always revolve around Vanguard.

And that's about it! Thank you for reading Hope you like/love it :)! Pm, Fave, Follow and Review would be much appreciated ^_^
