Tsutomu sat in a chair in the lab, he leaned forward and rubbed the back of his neck. Mollie looked over at him, "You alright?"
"Hm?" He looked at her, "Yeah, I just probably need to be updated."
"I see, do you want me to do it?"
"If you'd like."
"If you don't want me to then I won't."
"I don't care." He then went and sat in almost a recliner type chair, he leaned back and sighed. Mollie then went and looked for a tool to access his database, she growled.
"Where is it?"
It wasn't long before Hikaru walked into the lab. "Hello you too." He said with a smile,
"Hi!" Mollie said with a smile, "Do you know where the tool is for updating Tsutomu?"
"I think it's over here." Hikaru walked over to a drawer, he opened it up and he then took it out. "Mind if I do it? It's been a while."
"Yeah that's fine." Mollie said, Hikaru smiled and then went and sat next to Tsutomu. He then put the tool into Tsutomu's ear. He then turned the tool...
"Can I ask you something?" Hikaru said to Tsutomu.
"Of course."
"Why did you chose the name Tsutomu over the one I gave you."
"I just felt like I needed a proper name. Besides..." Hikaru then pulled out, and Tsutomu's ear came out as a circular tube, in it was a row of small discs, "M-11 isn't something that you would want to go around telling people is your name."
"I see," he took the discs out and he then put the discs into a computer. "Personally, I like M-11. It then knows which one you are. The 11th model, the 11th and best one at that." He smiled and then started to put updated data on it. Once the data was updated he then put the discs back in. He then put Tsutomu's head back together "There you go." Tsutomu's eyes flashed blue for a minute while his brain processed and updated the information. It wasn't much longer before Daiyo walked in with a smile, Mollie looked at Daiyo.
"Hey," Mollie said, "You look happy."
Daiyo smiled, she then giggled and wrapped her arms around Mollie, "Thank you!"
"For what?"
"I told Martin that I loved him! He loves me as well!"
Mollie smiled, "That's great!" She looked at Daiyo, "Where'd your flower go?"
"I gave it to Martin."
"That's sweet." She then gasped, "Oh! I finished the necklace." She then went over to a drawer near a computer, she pulled out the necklace and brought it to Daiyo. "Here you go!"
"Thank you." Daiyo said with a smile.
"You're welcome."
Daiyo nodded before she turned and left the lab. She then walked to the cafeteria, she wanted to bring Martin some breakfast, she had gotten somewhat accustomed to the machines. She grabbed a tray, and then a couple plates. She then put into the machine what she thought he would like, chocolate chip pancakes, some eggs, some toast, some sausage, as well as some bacon. She then went over to where she normally saw people get coffee, she grabbed a cup. She then looked at the machine, she wasn't sure how to operate it. She put the cup under the machine, she then paused, a screen lit up on the machine asking her how she wanted the coffee. She swallowed hard, she looked at the different options, she then decided on black. It then poured the coffee into the cup, she took the cup and put it on the tray before she went back to the food machines and grabbed the plates. She put them on the tray, before she left she went and grabbed some plastic utensils as well as coffee creamer and the whole jar of sugar cubes. She then took it back to her room, she opened the door and walked in. Martin was sitting on the edge of her bed leaning forward and rubbing his neck. She smiled, "Good morning." He smiled and looked over at her.
"Good morning. Is that for me?"
"Yes." She smiled and walked over to him and handed him the tray.
"Thank you very much." He smiled, she smiled back and she then sat next to him. He started to eat, "This is very good, thank you."
"You're welcome." She then pulled out the necklace, "Here." She said, "I made this for you."
"What is it?" He asked looking at it, "Ah, this must be one of those necklaces you told me about. The one the men wear in your village?"
"Yeah,"
"Well thank you," he said, "But, since you gave me your flower, how about I give you this."
"But I made it for you." She said a bit disheartened,
"I know," he said putting it around her neck, "But, if I remember correctly, you told me when two people are in a relationship, they exchange the things they wear, so their flowers and necklaces. And they wear each others flower and necklace until they are married. So I want you to wear this for me, and I'll wear your flower."
"Oh..." she smiled, almost forgetting that he had told her that he loved her. "Okay."
"Good." He smiled and took a sip of the coffee, he nearly spit it out, black coffee was absolutely disgusting. But Daiyo had got it for him, and he didn't want to be rude. So he toughed through it and quickly swallowed what he had in his mouth.
Meanwhile Haruo was starting to wake up. His head was ringing after being shot, he then looked down to see Haruka looking up at him. She gave a happy squeal and a smile, "Da da!" He gave a soft smile.
"Good morning little one..." he said with a yawn. Haruka made cute happy noises, she put her hands on her fathers face, Haruo couldn't help but smile, she then moved up him slightly and started to play with his hair. Haruo then looked his daughter in the eyes, "You know, you really have your mothers eyes." She smiled, he smiled back at her, he grabbed onto her and kissed her forehead. he then looked around to see if anyone was looking, he then smiled and gently tossed Haruka in the air. Haruka giggled as she came back down safely into her fathers hands. Haruo did this again and again and again. Haruo couldn't help but laugh, his daughters laugh brought him so much joy. He then caught Haruka for the final time and then he held her close to him, "Oh how I've missed you." He said with a warm smile. He kissed her forehead again before the door came open.
"Well, look who's up." Haruo looked past his daughter.
"Oh, Akane."
Akane smiled and walked to his bedside, he looked at Haruka, "Hello there little one." She then picked up Haruka, Haurka smiled, she was rather excited to meet someone new. "You've gotten so big now Haruka, last time I held you, you were just so little. But now you're a big girl." Haruka babbled and started to play with Akane's hair, Akane let out a soft laugh and gave a smile. Haruo smiled and he rested his hands behind his head.
"I think you're ready for kids."
"Oof, how dare you."
"I'm serious, you're way better than you give yourself credit for."
"I know," she said, "But if I were to have a kid, I would have to give up what I love."
"Your virginity?" Haruo asked in a teasing matter.
"No you pervert. Honestly, saying something like that in front of your daughter. Shame on you!" Haruo smirked and gave Akane a subtle wink, "But in all seriousness, I would have to give up fighting for humanity. "
"Yeah, he sat up, "But let me be honest with you. If it weren't for me having a kid, slowing down to have a life, there probably would be no humanity." He said, he sighed, "My daughter really helped me become a better person, and I haven't been around my son long enough to tell if he can change me. But...the thing that keeps me going every day, is knowing that I can save humanity, as well as return home to her smiling face."
"Yeah," Akane sighed, she then looked to Haruo. "Do you know why you are in here?"
"Yes, but I don't believe what Yuko told me."
"What was it?"
"She said I was hit by lightning." He said, "Though, I have physically been hit by lightning while transformed. I know what it feels like."
"And do you feel like you have been hit by lightning?"
"No," he said, "Instead what I feel is gravity."
"Gravity? You mean like King Ghidorah?"
"Yes," he said, "It's almost like I was injected with it."
"I see, is that a bad thing?"
"As of now, since my abilities are suppressed, no. But potentially it could be bad."
"Should we let Yuko know?"
"No," he said, "And for all I know, my dad, and Martin are the only ones who know."
"I see, who else would you want knowing."
"Um..." he paused, "That one kid, Tsutomu, he's really smart. Maybe he could come up with a device that keeps these powers from emerging."
"Alright, I'll let him know, what does he look like?"
"He wears a black long sleeved shirt and has glasses, you'll find him usually in the science lab."
Meanwhile, two gang members were walking down a hallway. They both were of African descent, and were VERY American. One was taller and a bit more muscular, and had a spider tattoo on his chest, and he had an open vest. He was more muscular compared to his equal, who was shorter and skinnier, though he still had muscle. The smaller one didn't wear a shirt, and he had the anatomy of a praying mantis on his chest. It wasn't long before Kazuya walked in between them going the opposite direction. "Yo! Sorry mah man!" The smaller one said throwing up a piece sign. Kazuya turned and looked at them.
"You two," he said, "You call yourselves the 'Bug Brothers'?"
"Bizzzit?!" The shorter one said, "Uh, yeah sure, who's asking folk?"
"You're exactly who I am looking for." He said, "Come with me."
"Uuuuh yeah, okay." The two followed Kazuya to Mafune's lab. Mafune was loading two darts in what appeared to be a double barreled dart gun. "Yoooooooo! This joing is tight, that's what this is!"
"I brought them," Kazuya said walking over to Mafune, "What do you need a bunch of bumbling idiots for?"
"Yo! Woah man! I ain't no bubbling idiot! I got my high school degree! And my brotha over here got his!"
"Wow..." Kazuya said in disbelief. Americans really were stupid.
"I need...errand boys." Mafune said, he then raised the gun and shot both the gang members.
"Youch!" The smaller one said, "That stings man! And not like a bee! I'm talking like one of those amazonian mosquitoes or some shit!" He then pulled the dart out of his neck. "Yo, you trynna juice me?!" He rubbed his neck, "Man, if you was sellin juice, you shoulda just ask me, and I prolly woulda said yes!" Kazuya wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. But he could physically feel the brain cells in his head exploding. The two thugs grit their teeth. They then both fell to their hands and knees. Eventually they began to transform, the shadows on the walls show the smaller one turn to a giant mantis, the other was a giant spider. The mantis looked at himself, "YOooo shiiiiiiiiiiiiit! I is a praying mantis!" He looked to himself, "And look atchu! You a spider! That's dope man! That's dope!" He paused, "Oh! We need like code names now!"
"Kamacuras and Kumonga." Mafune said, "And I need you two to do something for me."
