It was midnight by the time Kagiri and Kiharu returned to Uro's mansion. They made their way threw the dark hallways and down to the basement/ laboratory. For sure Uro was down there with both Eleska and Arumerita.
You can handle this right? asked Kagiri to Kiharu.
Wha- hell no! I'm not telling him, you do it.
You're unbelievable ya know that, it was your fault that we lost our target in the first place, considering you wasted time! Kagiri yelled-whispered to him.
Oh that is just like you to blame it on me!
What are you two talking about! Snapped Eleska now noticing their loud argument. Uro turned around with a blank face but both Kagiri and Kiharu could tell he wasn't in a good mood.
Oh uh nothing. Kiharu said putting his hands up defensibly.
Uro's look hardened. Where's Gareki.
He...Was taken by the E.O.A.P before we could get to him. Kagiri said having to force himself to admit the truth. As soon as the words came out of his mouth he was smacked into a wall hard, not even seeing Uro make a move. Kiharu ended up the same way.
Uro came up to the both of them and grabbed them by their shirt collars bringing them up close. I'll give you another chance and this is your last!, if you fail then you're kissing away your lives understood!
They both nodded their heads quickly.
Good, the both of you know where the E.O.A.P agency is and you know that it is filled with well trained agents there for the both of you will take Gareki tomorrow night when they're are not on guard- as much I'll have to send some of the Crang with you for a detraction. But as for tonight I'm going to need the both of you to do something for me. Got it?
The both of them nodded their heads quickly yet again as Uro let go of them.
Uro's attitude changed as he turned back to Arumerita and Eleska. Sorry that the two of you had to see that, these subordinates of mine just don't seem to fulfill there orders when given at times.
Eleska pursed her pink lips together and crossed her arms. Uro I surely hope this deal you have with us doesn't fail or else we're calling it off.
Miss Erishuka? Arumerita asked calling her by her other name.
She turned towards him in question. He leaned down towards her ear and whispered. If you call off the deal, then you won't get your revenge in killing Gareki. Her eye's seemed to have widened as she heard the mistake she had made.
Eleska reached up a hand and patted Arumerita's longish short blue hair. Thank you for telling me. She then set her sights back onto Uro.
Seems I have made a mistake out of my annoyance, sorry. I just really wish that Gareki were here so I can get my revenge over quickly. The urge is simply to strong. She says.
Uro nods. I understand, I myself is also very impatient. Hopefully the next time we see my subordinates they will have Gareki.
Erishuka nods and turns to Arumerita. Let us go. I grow poorly tired and annoyed with this waiting I heed for a bath. Both her and Arumerita walk out of the laboratory and up the stairs to her bed room that Uro had provided for her.
Both Kiharu and Kagiri stand up from their spots on the ground and wait for more orders of Uro who walks over to the glass chamber of Nai who has grown deathly pale and has now revealed the faint apparel of blue veins growing up his neck as he lay on his back his eye's even more a faded red then before almost a pale pink. His breathing came out raspy as if he couldn't get enough threw his nose now having to breathe threw his mouth.
It was now Wednesday as the clock struck one in the morning, the third day that Nai had been continuously drained of his powers growing closer to the very last day of the week to his death which would be on Sunday. The red aura was still lifting up from his body and going threw the tubes that lead to the Crang's glass chambers feeding them to become slightly stronger but it still wasn't enough power Uro still needed Gareki's abilities of electricity to form the most powerful monster. ...The Wendigo.
Uro turned to Kiharu and Kagiri both. Here's what the assignment is tonight. We're going to the grave yard.
Yogi heard everyone's voices calling his name as he woke up from being passed out, not wanting to hear that his boyfriend could be or is dead. He disregarded the other choice of Gareki never being born because that was obviously not true, Yogi had seen Gareki breathing and living everyday for a whole year no way was he none existent.
Yogi picked himself up of the floor of the research room, seemingly have passed out for only 2 minutes. He rubbed his head and looked at everyone's worried faces even Akari seemed to have a tinge of worry on his.
Are you ok Yogi? asked Tsukuomo. trying to put a reassuring hand on his shoulder but he pushed it away softly. Pulling away from the group of his teammates, Boss and doctor.
Of course I'm not ok! He snapped running one of his hands threw his blonde hair. None of this is ok. None!
Calm down Yogi. Said Jiki.
How can I?! Yogi asked shrugging and looking at Jiki. We don't know where Nai is and we don't know where Gareki is assuming that he's dead some where with those people that took him!
YOGI! said a female voice the he knew to well.
Everyone turned around towards the far corner to look at Airi who got up from her seat and walked over to him raised her hand and slapped him across the cheek. Everyone stood there in shock staring as she did this.
Yogi was wide eyed at the fact that Gareki's closest friend had slapped him and what was she doing here. Yogi turned around slowly to face her.
Airi stared at him intensely with her grey eye's both of them produced tears as she couldn't keep up with the angry look. How can you speak so low of him. He's Gareki for crying out loud!
Yogi flinched slightly as she said that. Airi I'm not-
You are. She interrupted. Gareki isn't dead and I won't allow you to think of him as being such. He's strong think about it, would he die that easily without a fight. I don't believe he's dead and you shouldn't either. Airi said wiping away the tears on her face.
Yogi looked down for a moment before looking back up with a serious look. You're right. He wouldn't die so easily.
Oh and Yogi? asked Jiki.
Yogi looked at him.
Gareki's suit could be destroyed by the people that took him. It's possibly why my computer system said he could be dead or unborn.
That makes since. Said Eva.
Hirato crossed his arms. Jiki could you get me in contact with the higher ups I need to ask them about this.
Jiki did as told, typing away at his hologram computer and soon the room became dark as a neon green light flashed out of his computer screen and showed 3 hologram figures all of them being males.
Hirato? said one of them in an deep voice. I never thought we'd hear from you.
It's been a while. Said another his voice not being as deep as the first.
I know it has, I apologize. I need to ask the three of you something important. Hirato says.
what is it? asked one of the higher ups.
Are you familiar with a name Vandez? Hirato asked.
Yes. He's an agent of the E.O.A.P another government agency that we assigned that specializes in alien eliminations such as creatures created from experimental fluids found in Kafka.
Yogi frowned. Another agency...So there's more then just us?
Of course there are but in different locations and they were created in different times such as just this year. Said the higher up with the deep voice. Surpriing that you didn't know this.
This is news to me as well. Says Hirato.
It was classified business when we first began doing this but now we're allowed to let you know. Said one of the higher ups.
Do you know where the E.O.A.P is? Yogi asked them.
That much we don't know. Once we created the agencies it's up to them to find a secret location that no other agency not even us higher ups know. I'm afraid the only thing we can show and tell you is the agencies name and all the people that work in that specific agency.
Ok...Yogi said slowly. He began to think of the other two names he had heard yesterday during his near death experience, then he finally came up with them.
Alright, could you look up from the E.O.A.P Raditz, Carter, and Vandez? he asked
Soon enough pictures of the three popped onto the hologram giving information about them except for where there agencies location was.
Yogi looked over to Raditz's picture file and info. He became an agent for the E.O.A.P at the age of 13 and had gone threw lots of training earning himself up to 1st rank meaning that he was strong at combat fighting skills and his abilities. He earned his ability to blood bend at the age of 15 accidently killing the people who he was fighting up against in his training sessions. He wiped his memories of his entire family and that of theirs ever having another son. His female leader went by the name Commander but her actual name was Anastasia Vents.
Wait a minute another son? Yogi thought going back to the last piece of info. He soon saw the shocking news that Raditz was Gareki's older brother. His eye's widened slightly. Holy shit.
What is it. asked Tsukuomo.
Gareki...he has a brother. The very man that took him away and tried to kill me is Raditz Igarashi. Yogi explained to her.
What!? exclaimed Airi stepping back a step. He has a brother? W-why would he try to kill you?
Yogi shook his head and turned back to the higher ups. Are the E.O.A.P good or bad?
They're good, There's no way we would make an agency with bad intentions. Said one of them.
Yogi sighed. I just don't understand it. What do they want with him and Nai.
How do you know they took Nai. Asked Airi.
That's right...said Tsukuomo just now thinking. There were those other two guys that wanted Gareki maybe they took Nai and not the E.O.A.P. She said not knowing how right she was.
Who are these other two? Asked Hirato.
That's what we don't know. Said Eva. But I did hear one of them say the name Kiharu, they didn't do a good job at keeping their identities hidden considering the fact they argued a lot while me and Tsukuomo were fighting them.
Jiki wrote the name down on a piece of paper like he had done to Vandez's name as well as Carter's and Raditz. He sighed. All right I think we should discuss this situation more once we've slept that way some of us won't lose our heads. He mentioned the last part while looking at Yogi who wasn't paying attention instead leaning against the wall with his arms folded.
Everyone left the research room giving Yogi a reassuring look, a pat on the back and some gave him a side hug. The only ones that were left were Kiichi's still unconscious form laying on the bed, Jiki, and Airi.
Jiki said a good bye to the higher ups and thanked them for their help before turning off the holoagram letting the room get it's natural brightness back before he walked up to Yogi.
Don't worry, I'm not letting off this case until we get Gareki back. Hang in there. He said before walking out of the room leaving Airi and Yogi alone.
Yogi looked up at her. So...how did you get here?
I...I ran here as soon as those monsters attacked the city. I was heading to work when it happened. I had to abandon my car running in a place that provided safety until I relized that it was the agency that you and Gareki worked in. Then that was when Tsukuomo came and got me telling me to come into this room where all of you were. Then I saw you passed out on the floor but not before hearing that Gareki could be dead from...Jiki- I think that was his name.
Oh and by the way, I'm sorry for slapping you. I just couldn't stand the fact of you putting yourself down like that. I mean I understand that Gareki's gone but don't think that he's...dead. Please.
Yogi nodded. It's ok, you don't have to be sorry, I would have even slapped myself if you hadn't of been here.
Airi nodded. putting on a fake smile in hopes of making the situation brighter but it was obviously forced. she was just as in much pain as Yogi was that the fact that Gareki was gone not knowing what was truly happening to him as they stood there not knowing where he was entirely.
You need a ride? Yogi asked her.
Of course. she said. They both began to walk down the hallway leaving the research room to the nurses that were still doing medical examinations to kiichi's unconscious body. Soon coming out into the under ground parking garage and getting inside the black Mercedes. Yogi started up the ignition but not before finding the key in Gareki's hiding spot. He didn't hide it in the agency because there was hardly any place to put it without being to obvious and no, he couldn't put it in his pocket since they were required to were the tight agency uniforms not having any pockets available on them.
Yogi then pulled out of the parking space and drove into the exit of the parking garage onto the now cleared highway which had been cleared by the (A.A.A) Agents. Army. Assigned who normally cleaned up the cities messes no matter how big.
Wow! This street was a complet mess but now it's a lot better then before. Airi said from the passenger seat as Yogi drove on the road moving past cracked concrete.
Yeah, It's a shame though. I mean it took a year to get this area cleaned up but now it's back to looking like a complete mess. I bet the (A.A.A) are tired of their jobs.
Who's... the(A.A.A)? Airi asked. Man, You and Gareki sure have a lot of people to deal with. First Kafka then the E.O.A.P and now some people that took him and Nai.
...The (A.A.A) are a large group of agents who are trained in a different part of the city that work for our agency only, mainly when we need back up or a huge clean up such as now. Yogi explains plainly.
It became quiet as he continued to drive towards the apartment building they both stayed in. Airi spoke up again.
Hey, Yogi? I know that we don't have many opportunities to talk to each other but I just came to realize. I know nothing about you. I mean I understand that you and Gareki are together and you are a nice guy but what about your past? How did you get dragged into becoming an agent?
Yogi remembered the first time Gareki asked him that question and then the other part of him awoke inside of him making himself turn into a crazy killing person that was triggered by the horrible past of his child hood. Yogi's face all of a sudden turned to stone.
I'm sorry Yogi, you don't have to tell me-
I was a kid at the time. Yogi interrupted having to force his words out. About 10 years old before I was found in the laboratory of the Kafka building by Hirato. I...I was exsperiment on to do bad things and kill people around me...at which I did...my parents died because of me that and my sister who was younger then me at the time. I had a Varuga virus in me that I hadn't noticed until last year...until I almost killed Gareki with it. Hell...I can still remember his panicked face as I bit him he was scared of me but that didn't make him run away for long he said that there was away for it to get out of me. He was so willing into not wanting to let me go but I was far from it I broke up with him he was hurt terribly but I was scared at what I would do to him, I was scared that I would kill him just like I had with my own family. Both of us were terribly scared after that especially Gareki he even slapped me even after we both promised we wouldn't hit each other. I even remember the time when he pined me to the floor of our apartment begging me to not leave him. He was crying hard he yelled at me, all the reasons why he loved me. But I was still scared at the fact that I would kill him. Airi...you don't know how much it hurt for me to push him away and try to walk out of that door. But he managed to stop me in the end. His eye's wide with tears but what I saw was determination. Determination that said for me to stay. So, I stayed...and soon the virus inside of me left just like Gareki said it would. He figured a way to save me and keep us together and for that...I love him deeply for it... so much.
They had long since pulled up to the apartment building. Yogi had already turned off the ignition sitting back in his seat with tears in his eyes stareing out at the high and bright moon seeping it's light into the car window from the front.
Airi marred a sad expression on her face also with tears in her eye's, she wasn't afraid of him if Gareki hadn't been then she wouldn't either. Oh...Yogi I'm so sorry-
No. He said interrupting again. I needed to get that out of my system. I'm sorry for telling you that, you asked a simple question but I kept on talking.
Airi shook her head. It doesn't matter you actually told me a lot ,now I know much more about you. So thanks. she responded a tear rolling down her face.
Yogi nodded himself going quiet after that before he started to say. I wonder...if I'll see him smile again. I don't know where he is or if I'll see him again.
Don't speak like that. He's strong. Airi said looking down. Gareki is a sweet guy. He's always trying to help me in some way or form. I wonder what made him this way?
Who knows. He was born to be a miracle. Yogi said remembering the time when he went into Gareki's memories and saw him as an infant first being born. He was a cute baby. He said out loud.
Airi looked at him. You saw him as a baby?
Yeah...He allowed me to use one of my powers on him which I can look into peoples minds at a specific time. I also saw you, not as a baby though. Yogi says.
Was it the time when those guys tried to touch me. Airi said subconsciously guessing.
Yogi blinked at her in surprise. Yeah...it was. Good guess.
Airi smiled at the memory. You should have seen him. He protected me from those jerks not caring that he got into a fight on the first day of middle school having to be put out for two weeks. Those guys never bothered me again. He really gave them bloody noses that they would never forget.
That's also the thing that I like about him. He doesn't really give up until he sees fit. Yogi says softly. The trip to Iceland was an amazing trip for us to get away from it all (sigh) He even bought this cheap camcorder he made videos all threw out the trip and took pictures which he showed to you. I can't forget the time he was standing on the edge of that mountain, the wind blowing his hair away from his face and the peaceful look on his face as his eye's were closed. He looked at me with such happiness.(laughs slightly) I remember when he ran in the tall grass fields asking me to run with him because he felt so free in the place he let his voice carry out as the wind blew in our hair and clothes harder.
Airi smiled. Her eye's sparkling from the moonlight.
I love him Airi. I love the way his eye's just seem to show so much with out a word from his lips. I love the fact that he always wants to push forward even though he feels down at times he gets back up and faces his problems, I love the way he smiles and smirks at me the slight movement making a dimple appear, I love the way he walks with a purpose having a confidence that isn't easy to find with most people, I love the way he blushes in embarrassment and turns away from me hoping that I don't see it, I love the way his lips feel against mine, I love the way he dresses especially for special occasions, I love the way he sleeps and as he dreams he mutters to himself of what's happening in it, I love how he always wants my touch but never admits it only showing the desire in his eyes.
The list goes on and on...Yogi says softly.
Airi wipes her eye's tears streaming down her face. That was beautiful Yogi. Gareki...loves you in the same ways I bet. He has to...I know he does.
Yogi smiles closing his eye's. Thank you Airi you're a good friend of Gareki's.
I'm also your friend, we three have to stick together. she says.
He nods before opening his eye's and looking up at the moon. I'll find you Gareki, don't you worry...
Gareki was shoved to the ground of the very room he awoke in before turning his head slighty to glare his now blue-grey eye's up at Raditz and the other two agents who had shoved him on the floor.
Raditz stared down at him fro a moment his eye's and face blank before he turned away and told the two E.O.A.P agents to close the medal door and to put a lock on it until the Commander orders it to be taken off.
Gareki doesn't stop his glare from leaving on Raditz face even as the medal door blocked him from his view. He heard the three of them walk away, their foot steps echoing farther and farther away as they did.
Gareki turns his sights back to the cold floor sighing as he looked up at the spot where he had killed the two E.O.A.P agents. It was nothing there. No blood, no bones no nothing as if it had never happened. The room was the same from when he had first woken up. He then looked up at the vent in which he had escaped threw to notice that it was bolted shut.
Gareki could tell that their was no way of getting out of it this time even with his electrical abilities. He felt a strong feeling of sadness wash over him yet again just like it had with Raditz, back out in the hall way while he punched him getting all of his anger out only to be left with the feeling of morose.
Gareki pushed himself back against the medal door of his room. Closing his eye's while frowning sadly.
What should I do now?...I feel so desperate and depressed. It's never been like this with me.
Gareki remembered what his mother told him when younger when ever he felt sad. She always handled her problems this way...by singing she had a nice voice for it. Gareki could also remember her singing to him and just last year she had sung her heart out the song that Gareki could never forget My Heart Will Go On. She had always sung it to him as a kid.
If he had to sing to make himself feel better...then so be it. But it would be a different song something that just poored out that matched the mood he was feeling. Even though he hadn't sung in a while ever since the age of 16 he still felt that he could pull this off.
Gareki leaned his head back against the door staring up at the sealing as the lyrics came out of his mouth in a perfect pitch and tone. He had inherited from his mother.
(Mark My words By Justin Bieber) Sorry if you don't like him but I felt that this song would match the moment and how Gareki is feeling. Enjoy, look up on youtube if you haven't heard this it's actually pretty good in my opinion.
Mark my words, that's all that I have...
Mark my words, give you all I got
In every way I will...
You're the only reason why
Oh I don't wanna live a lie...
Mark my words...Mark my words.
...So you heard it all before
Falling in and out of trust, Trying to rekindle us
Only to lose yourself, But I won't let me lose you
And I won't let us just fade away
After all that we've been through
I'm a show you more than I ever could say...
Mark my words, that's all that I have
Mark my words, give you all I got
In every way I will
You're the only reason why
Oh I don't wanna live a lie
Mark my words...Mark my words...
Oh-oh ooh oooooha
Ooh-oh ah
Gareki blinks out a tear letting it roll down his cheek and down his jaw line to drop onto his hand. He looks down and swallows. I didn't know I still had my singing voice, but I wish I could have sang something happier if I weren't feeling so low right now.
Gareki looks back up at the sealing and shacks his head. This isn't me. It can't be me...I'm stronger then this. He then gets up into a standing postion. I won't allow myself to feel bad like this any longer.
A spark of determination lifted up in Gareki's chest as he turned around towards the medal door and held his hand against it. The feeling inside of him charging his ability to use electricity.
He let it lose on the door. It making a loud creaking sound as the lock unlocked itself. Gareki pushed the door and was yet again in a hallway. He looked to his left seeing no body then he looked to his right to see Raditz leaning against the wall next to the door. He looked at Gareki who's eye's had yet again turned red from anger.
The Commander wants to see you know. Raditz said lifting himself away from the wall and leading Gareki down the hall. Gareki decided to follow at a distance of course but only to find an exit.
I'll fight you Raditz and then ,I'm getting out of here no matter what it takes!
