Chapter 7: Intrusions
(N.E.S.T.)
(3rd POV)
If you ever broke into a place maximum security, you could be either send to prison for life, or... Interrogated.
It'd only been some time since Koyomi broke in and found Brendan in his Hurricane Dragon form. Brendan, however, was not pleased in the least bit given that Koyomi stomped on his face twice, leaving shoe marks. But given Brendan's abilities as a Nephilim and a Wizard, his injuries healed up quickly, returning his face back to it's normal self.
Koyomi's hands were cuffed as she was escorted down a few corridors by security to an interrogation room. Her driver, rings and a unusual sized box were taken and place on another table from where she sat down.
"All right, Koyomi..." Said Brendan has he set down a couple of mugs of hot coffee, offering one to Koyomi. "The last time I saw you, you died in my arms just as I extracted the hope ring from you. How is it that you're still alive in front of me?"
"I wish I had the answer for you, Brendan-san." Said Koyomi as she took a few sips. "But I'm just as clueless as you are... The last thing I remember that happened to me was the ring being extracted causing me to die... but then something brought me back."
"Something brought you back?" Brendan asked.
Koyomi nodded as she continued, taking a few sips at a time. "I'm not sure what it was, but it felt warm... when I came too, I found myself in Mr. Wajima's OmokagedÅ shop with that driver around my waist and a chest full of magic rings."
"I see..." Said Brendan, feeling a little somewhat amuzed. "...and how's Shunpei and the old man doing?"
"Shunpei's doing fine. He watches over the shop now these days as well as practices his magic. He's been getting better at it." Koyomi said, that was until she lowered her head. "But Mr. Wajima... he..."
"Oh... I see... When did he..."
"Eight months ago... when his heart failed..." Koyomi said sadly.
"Ah... I'm sorry." Said Brendan, also sadly. "Better for him to die a natural death than be turned into a phantom. May his soul rest in peace." Koyomi nodded to Brendan's words.
"Anyway, that aside, why are you here, Koyomi?" Brendan asked as he took another sip from his mug. "I mean, there must be some sort of reason you broke into N.E.S.T. just to find me."
Koyomi just sat there in silence, until she looked over to the table where her things were, including the box.
(Hoover Dam, Former base of Sector 7)
Deep within the old base beneath the dam, Jayden strikes down some ghouls with his armor on. They soon explode into glowing portals and float into the Lion's mouth on the belt, making a gulping sound. 'There... that should keep you fed for a while now, Chimera.' He thought.
Before he could let his armor disappear, he turned to the sound of some footsteps coming towards him, seeing as it was the fox phantom Vixen with her axe in hand. "I take it Gremlin sent you?" Jayden asked.
"I'm here on my own accordance with a message from Wiseman." Said Vixen. "Your revenge will be at hand."
Jayden stood there for only a moment until he slowly moved toward his bike. "Good..." He said as there was a tone of hatred in his voice. "Soon... He'll pay for his misguided deeds. This time... he dies." He soon turns back to Vixen. "Tell the alliance to spring the trap. It's time to flush out that damn wizard Fueki and eliminate him once and for all!"
"At once." Said Vixen and turned away until she was out of hear sight from Jayden. "And once he's gone, You're next to be thrown into despair."
(N.E.S.T.)
After some time had past, Brendan stepped out from the interrogation room followed by Koyomi with her hands still cuffed.
"Sorry about this Koyomi, but you did break into a top secret facility." Said Brendan. They began to walk down into the most inner part of N.E.S.T.'s upper levels, nearing his work station. "I still don't understand how you can be alive after all this time."
"Like I said, I wish I had the answers, but I don't." Koyomi lied while keeping a straight face on her.
They soon reached Brendan's desk as they saw Eilta nearing the railing. "Hey there my little ma..." Said Elita-One but stop in mid-sentence as she saw Koyomi. Koyomi looked at Elita in shock. "Brendan... who is this?"
"Our intruder." He said with a scoffed. He soon introduced the two to each other. "Elita, this is Koyomi. She's an old friend when I lived back in Japan when I became a wizard. Koyomi, this is Elita-One. She's... uh..." Brendan's face was starting to turn red as he began to rub the back of his neck. "My huge... Girlfriend?"
"I... see." said Koyomi as she was at a loss for words. Brendan soon opened a drawer to his desk, taking out some small keys and undoing the cuffs on Koyomi's wrists. She began to gently rub them as they were soon off.
Elita gave off a glare at Koyomi, and before she could respond with a gesture, an alarm went off within the base. "Augh... Not again!" Brendan groaned. "Just when I though I could contact General Morshower to renew my vacation time after what happened..." He soon started to walk away from his desk. "I'll let you two ladies get acquainted. I have to take care of this."
A few short moments later after walking into a different part of N.E.S.T., Brendan was greeted by a worried look from Major Lennox. "It's about time you got here." He said.
"What happened?" Asked Brendan as a few monitors were showing static.
"I-I-I don't know. One minute I was in a debrief with the pentagon, and then this happened." Lennox stuttered.
It wasn't long until the monitors with the static on them faded with a face appearing on each one. Brendan's eyes widened with horror as he saw who it was. "It... can't be..."
"Surprise to see me again, Wizard? Well, believe it! I'm back from the ashes." Came a voice that belonged to the Phantom known as Phoenix.
Brendan tapped his earpiece, accessing the communications line. "How many times am I gonna have to kill you Phoenix?"
(Where Phoenix is; 3rd POV)
A few N.E.S.T. soldiers laid dead on the ground as Phoenix stood in front of a camera sending a live feed to where Brendan was. "As long as it takes until you're dead by my hand!" He roared. Gremlin and Vixen stood out of the image that was being broadcasted. "But... before you ask why I hacked into your communications, I have a message for you.
There was a brief pause of silence before any of them spoke. "What's the message?" Said Brendan sternly.
"A rematch, One-on-One, Come alone to these coordinates in 2 hours." Phoenix said as he typed up a map with the location as it appeared on the screen. "And one other thing... Don't bring any of your robotic freaks with, or I'll destroy a city on the western seaboard!" He soon pushed a button on the keyboard, ending the live feed.
Gremlin gave a small laugh of amusement at Phoenix. Vixen was somewhat finding this a bit amusing herself, but then turned away into a hallway. "Vixen..." Phoenix called out, "...where are you going?"
"To go see that our Rider is ready for his destruction." Vixen replied playfully, only to finish off by asking her fellow phantoms. "But... if they don't manage to destroy each other... Can I have the pleasure of killing off Beast myself?"
Phoenix scoffed a chuckle. "Just so long as Gremlin and I get a shot at Wizard."
Vixen nodded as she soon left the room.
(N.E.S.T.)
Brendan stood there in the communications room with Lennox. All monitors that once showed Phoenix's face returned to as they were.
"Brendan..." Lennox started, but Brendan knew what he was about to say.
"I know..." He said sadly, cutting Lennox off. "I'm not gonna let that bastard kill innocent lives for my sake."
Brendan removed his earpiece, setting it down on a nearby table, and leaving out of the room. "Brendan!" Lennox cried out, but Brendan just ignored him and kept on walking. He soon taped his own earpiece. "Lennox to Elita-One, We've got a problem."
Author's Notes: Sorry that this chapter is late on getting out. I've been multitasking between this and another story, as well as a few other things. I was also rewriting this chapter before it got out in the open. Not really sure if this is my best work. :/
Next one is going to have a flashback before both Wizard and Beast meet up for a rematch.
Who do you think is Vixen outside her Phantom form? And what's with the odd sized box Koyomi had on her? All will be revealed in due time.
Please Review/comment, Follow/like, all that good stuff. Until then. :D
