Zeke and Saya walked into Einnor's apartment. They saw Willem and Einnor sitting in the living room watching the television. They were quiet, not a word was spoken.

Zeke walked over and broke the silence. "Its still day time. We can still go shopping."

"Zeke, you are gonna want to see this." Willem spoke with a slight tinge of shock in his voice.

"What is it?" Zeke asked curiously as he walked over. He took a quick look at the television. He was shocked at what he saw. One of the gates on the wall was opened, and there was a line of Cleaners walking in to the other side. Each one had a number on their uniform. They must have been the experiments. Azazel and Juggernaut weren't there, so that left a total of forty four experiments on the loose in Hell's Gates.

"This is madness. Who would've thought Cred would act so drastically." Einnor spoke with a dread filled expression.

"We have to get back to Hell's Gates. For whatever reason they are going over there, it can't be good. I never would have thought, that I would willingly go back the that shit hole, but I guess I have no choice." Zeke spoke calmly, yet sternly. He needed to find out why he was releasing the experiments into the other side.

"Ok, I can get us there, but it would be difficult and tiring on my part. I can teleport a group of people, but for every extra person, the distance I can teleport is cut in half. Before I could teleport fifteen kilometers in one go, but with three extra people I could barely go above three and a half kilometers. It would take three teleports to get over the wall. I would be exhausted. " Einnor spoke, now just as determined as Zeke.

"Once we get over the wall, I know of a few safe spots that are hidden pretty well. We could rest there." Zeke had finally found something that could make him useful to the others, he didn't need his powers.

"Ok, now that that's settled, we need to pack up and get going." Willem said as he swiftly ran up the stairs. He went into his room to get his weapons.

"Good idea, we head out in ten minutes." Einnor went to his room as well. He was getting all of the materials he needed ready.

"Alright." Zeke sat on the couch. He started thinking about all the possible reasons Cred could have for sending all of his experiments to the other side. It didn't make sense.

"Aren't you going to get ready?" Saya asked curiously.

"I already am. My weapons are inside of me. I don't have anything extra I need to get."

"That's not what I meant. I know you are ready physically, but what about mentally? Can you use your powers again, knowing you will possibly lose control again? Perhaps you would prefer to remain scared of yourself the rest of your life." Saya bent over and rested her arms on the back of the couch.

"No I don't Saya, but my power has hurt so many people, and caused others to fear me. With power like that, I don't know if I'll ever get over it. I just don't know." Zeke looked down at his hands. He was truly scared of himself. Not knowing how long he could remain in control.

"I didn't know I fell in love with a coward. If I remember right, you were less of a coward when you were seven, than you are now. At least when you were seven, you weren't scared to go into a fight you know you were going to lose. You took the beating, and moved on in life." Saya turned and sat on the back of the couch. She was looking at Zeke, straight into his wavering eyes.

"That was a long time ago. Before I was immortal, before I knew I had powers. Things are different now." Zeke was staring into Saya's emerald green eyes. They were cold and determining.

"The only thing different, is that you're stronger now."

"Am I really? Am I really that strong? So strong that I have no reason to be scared? I don't believe that. Without my fear, without my feelings, I wouldn't be human. I would be some cold blooded monster that lives to fight. I don't want that. That's why I cling to my fear, it makes me feel human. It makes me feel normal."

"We're through. Until you can get over your fear of yourself, we're done. Don't talk to me until then." Saya stood up and started to walk up the stairs.

"Saya! Wait!" Zeke was desperate to get her attention back. He didn't want this too happen. He didn't enjoy the stabbing feeling in his heart.

"Ya' know Zeke, I sometimes think about what my life would be like right now if I had been raped by those men, and you actually ignored me. I would probably be sold to someone and be their sex slave, being fucked senseless everyday, then they would probably let their friends have a turn. I am truly grateful that you came to save me, but the way you are now, you are weak. Just know that I will always love you. Zeke." Saya stopped mid sentence and walked up the stairs. She ignored the pleas coming from Zeke's mouth.

"That's fucked up. I never would have pegged you as that kind of girl." Willem was leaning on the wall in front of her, he was strapped with his guns and his sniper rifle was on his back. He had apparently heard everything.

"Shut up Willem. I'm not in the mood." Saya walked past, but Willem grabbed her arm and slammed her against the wall. She grunted at the impact.

"You listen, and you listen good. He doesn't deserve that kind of treatment. He's been through way too much to be practically abandoned by his reason for living. If he loses control again you won't be safe. You probably just triggered a change." Willem was stern with Saya but her expression didn't change.

"That's what I'm hoping for. If I can talk to Other again. I can get down to the source of Zeke's fears. Maybe Other could help too. He seems devoted to Zeke. If anyone can help, its him." Saya spoke with an unwavering expression. She was positive her plan would work.

"You better know what you're doing. If this plan goes sour, and he does lose control, I will kill him. Just remember that." Willem walked down stairs. He saw Zeke on the couch. He looked as if he were hit by a truck. His expression was lifeless. Saya sighed and walked into her and Zeke's room.

Willem walked over to the couch, and stood in front of Zeke. Zeke looked up at Willem, his eyes were sad and mournful. Willem thought he looked pitiful. He couldn't stand people that looked like that. They annoyed him to no ends.

"I'm pathetic. I can't do anything right. It must be my fate to stay alone forever. I just always fuck everything up. I'm more trouble than I'm worth." Zeke was putting himself down. It made him feel bad, but relieved at the same time.

"She lied you know. All she wants is to talk to Other. She is trying to help you, but I think the way she is doing it is wrong." Willem spoke up. He couldn't let Zeke wallow in self pity right before an important mission.

"What?!" Zeke was shocked that Saya would do something like this.

"Next time you get the chance, let Other take control, but keep him on a leash. If you don't, I'll be forced to do something drastic. I don't want to, but I will." Willem was serious. If he had to, he would kill Zeke.

"I understand. When we make it to the other side, I'll let him take control. Just long enough to talk to her." Zeke stood up and walked out of the apartment. Willem thought he was going back to the roof for a second time today.

"It's best we get moving." Einnor had walked down the stairs. He was clad in light armor with two katanas on his back. Saya had just walked up behind him.

"Yeah. Let's go. The sooner we get over there, the better." Willem walked over to the door and opened it. Sitting outside in the hallway, was Zeke. His head was between his knees, and at first it seemed like he was sleeping, but he stood up.

"You ready?" Willem asked.

"As I'll ever be."

"Well then let's go." Einnor spoke as he walked past Willem and Zeke. He walked up the stairs and the others followed.

It took the group a few minutes to get to the roof of the building. When they got there, they stood near the edge facing the wall.

"It really is a huge change between the two hemispheres. What could have caused the event that destroyed that side of the world?" Saya spoke with a sense of hurt and discomfort in her voice.

"Even I don't know that. It seems impossible, even for an organization like Ouroboros. That leads me to believe it was a natural occurrence. I guess from a religious point of view, it could be God's way of punishing us. We tried to be perfect, when we weren't meant to be." Einnor said with a surprising seriousness.

"You can take that religious bullshit and shove it. I don't believe in God, or any religion. In my eyes, religion is just a way to escape your problems by blaming some false profit, or evil deity for all the worlds problems. It is just a false comfort that humans believe in so they don't feel guilty for causing harm to the world." Saya spoke with disgust at the thought of religion. She didn't believe in it because of the fact that no one ever came to save her, or help her in her time of need and anguish. The only person she could ever believe in, was Zeke. For all Saya cared, Zeke was her God.

"That's very narrow minded. It may be true, but people need that false sense of security to feel safe. It makes things easier for them to bear. Well, we've wasted enough time talking. We need to get going." Einnor was in a hurry. The more time they spent talking, the more difficult it would be to counter the enemies.

"Very well. Let's go." Saya agreed to end the conversation. They wouldn't get anywhere if she kept going with the topic.

Einnor grabbed Zeke and Willem by the arm, and Saya grabbed Zeke's, then they teleported to the wall. Then after a few seconds they teleported again to the top of a building in Hell's Gates.

"Ok, we are here. Man that was exhausting." Einnor was out of breath. His hands were on his knees and he was taking deep, long, drawn out breaths.

"So, where are we going to hide out until Einnor gets some rest?" Willem asked.

"I was planning on going back to the mall where you tried to kill me. They know we aren't dumb, so they think we wouldn't go back there. So it makes sense to hide there, and even if there are enemies there, the mall is so vast, we could hide in plain sight. In my opinion, its our safest bet." Zeke explained as he looked around. He was trying to find the quickest root to the mall.

"I agree. In a place that big, it should be easy to hide. Let's get going." Einnor said with labored breathes.

"Ok then. Let's head out." Zeke walked over to the edge of the building they were on. He found the ladder that lead to the ground. "Now be careful. The ladders around here aren't too sturdy." Zeke said as he jumped off the edge and landed on the ground.

Saya walked over to the ladder and nudged it with her foot. It creaked a little bit under the pressure of her foot. "Seems safe enough." Saya started descending the ladder. Then Willem, then Einnor. The ladder held up, surprisingly.

"This way. We are about a ten minute walk from the mall. If we hurry we could get there in five." Zeke started running towards the general direction of the mall. The others followed, but were having a hard time keeping up. Zeke was surprisingly fast.

Zeke stopped dead in his tracks and darted into a nearby ally. The others followed suit and asked why he stopped. He pointed in front of them. He had seen s couple of the experiments up ahead. They were asking around for directions. They even showed a picture of Zeke, and asked where he would go if he was in trouble. It was a good thing no one on this side cared about Zeke. None of the people they asked had a clue where Zeke would go.

"Good luck trying to find someone who keeps track of me you dumb asses. Let's go, we can cut through this ally." Zeke started running down the ally and took a right turn. The others followed. There were lots of twists and turns in the back allies.

At the pace that the group was going, they got to the mall with time to spare. Zeke walked up to the side door. It was still unlocked from the last time he had been there.

"Welcome to my domain." Zeke gestured around the mall. Once everyone was inside he looked out the door and made sure they weren't followed. He then closed and locked the door.

"It seems a little too flashy for someone like you." Einnor spoke. He was again bent over and breathing hard.

"I like it. Now time to show you where we can rest. Follow me." Zeke lead the group to the furniture store he used to sleep in. He went over to one of the shelves and pulled off a few packs of sheets and covers. He tossed them to the others.

"You gotta be comfortable. Once you get your bed arranged, you should get some rest. I'll keep watch and make sure nothing happens." The others agreed and within five minutes they had their beds ready and were asleep in them.

Zeke walked out of the furniture store and looked around the vast mall. He was taking rounds, making sure no one was around. He spotted the spa and walked over to it. He looked at the entrance for a second and walked in. The first place he went to was the showers. He walked over to the hole in the wall Willem left when they first met.

"Its hard to believe it's only been few days since that happened. Now Willem is your trusted ally." Saya had followed Zeke to the spa. She spoke with a sense of nostalgia in her voice.

"You should be asleep." Zeke's words were dead and mechanical. It was as if he reverted back to his old self.

"I want to talk to Other again." Saya countered, her tone more serious.

"Fine." Zeke didn't argue like Saya thought he would. Zeke closed his eyes, and when he opened them back up, they were glowing. "What do you want girl?" Zeke had gave Other control. His voice was cold and malicious.

"I want to know why Zeke is so scared of himself. Is his power so great, that it is reason enough for him to be scared?" Saya didn't hesitate to ask what was on her mind.

"You don't realize how close you are to the answer. Well to give you a fair answer, yes it is. Zeke doesn't remember, but he was the one who destroyed the eastern hemisphere."

"What!? That's impossible! Zeke may be powerful, but not that powerful. You would have to have the power of a god to pull that off! Which is impossible!" Saya had been consumed by utter disbelief at what Other said. She couldn't believe Zeke would, or could do something like that.

"Believe what you like, but that's the truth. Zeke may have lost his memories, but I didn't. It all started because of an old lady. She had white hair like Zeke's and eyes just as red. She told him it was time to wake up. Then in that split second, Zeke's true power emerged, but that kind of power comes at a price. That price being all of his happy memories. He forgot about everything that made him happy. The population of the eastern hemisphere was cut down by ninety percent, in mere seconds. Luckily, his adoptive parents, and you, survived. Who would have thought, an eight year old. Could have that kind of power? I have no doubt, that if he were to unleash that power again, he would destroy the entire world. I know you may not believe what I'm about to say, but I'm the only reason he hasn't been able to unleash it. I keep his power in check, unbeknownst to him." Other had explained the events of that day. Saya was wide eyed in fear. She couldn't process the fact, that Zeke was the cause of so much misery.

"So Zeke, practically annihilated, half of the world. I fell in love with the very person, who made so many peoples lives miserable." Saya had fallen to her knees, tears welling up in her eyes. She was in complete shock.

"Yes, and believe it or not, the day of Armageddon, may be closer than you think. I have noticed an increase in his power lately. He is getting stronger and I can't stop it. Pretty soon, he will be able to overcome my seal on his power, and then boom. The whole world is gone."

"Is there anyway to stop it?" Saya asked, her voice fragile and lifeless.

"If he were to learn how to control it, then maybe. He needs you now more than ever, however, he must not know that I told you any of this. It would only make things worse. Here are my final words of advice to you. You are the only one that could possibly help him control this hellish power of his, so stay close to him, comfort him, and never leave him." Others tone had softened a bit. In a way, he could sympathize with Saya. It couldn't be easy to accept what he just told her.

"Of course I will. He is the love of my life. He is my everything, and nothing will ever change that." Saya had stood up with a look of new found determination on her face.

Other couldn't help but crack a smile. He was starting to like Saya. She was as close to Zeke as he was.

Other's expression changed when he sensed two sources of power near by. "Someone is here, and they're not friendly. We need to exterminate them, before they blow our cover." Other had manifested claws that looked similar to Zeke's, but they were bigger and a deeper shade of black.

"Really?! Now of all times!" Saya had turned and faced the entrance to the spa. Two people had come walking up to the entrance. They looked to be twins. They had black hair and blue eyes. One was male, the other female.

"Nice to meet you mister Zeke, my name is Michelle and I am experiment number six. Now we didn't come to fight you. Our reason here is completely different. We came to Hell's Gates, looking for experiment negative one. You see, we have reports that he escaped from his holding cell, and headed over here. So it would be nice if we could hold off on the fighting until the time comes Master Cred wants you dead." The female spoke formally. She had a soft and gentle.

"I am experiment number seven. I am Michelle's brother, Charles. She speaks the truth. We did not come to hunt you. If it pleases you, we will let no one know of your whereabouts, but we are lead to believe that negative one is hunting you down. It is his sole objective." Charles had a similar accent to his sister.

Other undid his energy claws. He was going to play along and act like Zeke, so he could pull some info out of these two. Saya noticed, and decided not to say anything.

"Very well. I have a question. What makes you think you can capture negative one? He is supposed to be stronger than me, and the power I sense off of you two pales in comparison to mine. Are you suppressing your power so he doesn't sense you coming?" Other was asking because he wanted to gauge the enemy the best he could.

"No we are not suppressing it, but what makes us so dangerous, is how well me and my sisters powers work together. If we fight together we can't lose." Charles spoke proudly of himself, as well as his sister.

"Fine then, you may continue your search, but try not to get us involved." Other had shooed them off, and they obliged. They walked towards the exit to the mall.

"That was close. So it turns out that genetic copy of Zeke is running amuck." Saya had rubbed her forehead. At some point of the conversation she had started sweating.

"It's about time I let Zeke have control back. I'll talk to you some other time." Other was about to close his eyes and give control back to Zeke, when Saya interrupted him.

"Wait, before you go, what's your real name?" Saya had asked, a curious look on her face.

"It's Zekeuv. Zeke gave it too me when we were still at the Ouroboros lab."

"I think it's a nice name." Saya had smiled, which caused Zekeuv to smile. He closed his eyes, and let Zeke take control.

When Zeke opened his eyes, he was met with a smile from Saya. "So I guess, you got all the information you wanted out of him?" Zeke had asked, a little upset that she talked to Zekeuv.

"That, and then some. Let's go back to the furniture store. We need to get some sleep." Saya had grabbed Zeke's hand and pulled him all the way back to the furniture store.

When they got to their desired location, Saya pushed Zeke onto her bed, and forced him to lay down. She then laid beside him, and fell asleep. Zeke was confused by her actions, but he went along with it and put an arm over Saya.

"I guess she found out what she wanted to know. It's good to have my Saya back." Zeke whispered to himself, and fell asleep. He had yet another dream of his past.
