Niou sighed and walked away from the game. 'Mura said Echizen exhibits multiple abilities. Hmm…he seems like the dangerous kind.' He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a familiar number.
"Hello Fuji Syusuke?"

Friday morning…
A black limousine stopped abruptly in front of an elegant mountain villa. The door opened and several armed men from the other car form behind rushed around it and stood guard as the door slid open.
"Sir, everyone is already waiting for you inside." One of the guards announced.
A tall brunette stepped out of the limo, looking very professional in his black suit. "Get my things inside." He ordered before he walked purposefully towards the villa. After him came a woman wearing a black dress, earplugs in her ears. She followed the man into the villa guarded by several men armed with heavy ammunition.
"You better not get in my way, Setsuko." The man spoke up when the two of them walked along the long hall. "Remember that I'm only sparing you because you're my sister." They came upon big oak doors.
"Did you hear me?" the man grabbed the woman's arm.
"I heard you perfectly asshole." The woman retorted, yanking her arm from her brother's grip. "You don't need to manhandle me just to prove a point."
Before the man could even reply, the woman pushed the oak doors open, revealing around 15 men, either dressed his lab gowns or business suits, seated around a large wooden table. The occupants of the room stood up to greet the two newcomers.
"Good morning, Chairman Mikagami, Dr. Mikagami."
The man took off his shades and leered. "Well it's about time that we do this."

Light slowly penetrated the windows of a small room. Curtains were drawn, allowing little light to illuminate its interiors. The room is sparse, containing a bed and a desk. On the bed was a lump hidden beneath a sheer white blanket.
The knob slowly turned and the door was slowly pushed open. A middle aged man came inside and sat next to the lump on the bed.
"It's time to wake up." He gently shook the lump but it only curled up. The man sighed and stood up. He gently drew the curtains open, letting the soft rays of the sun in. "Come now, breakfast is waiting."
Golden eyes peeked from under the blanket.
The man sat back on the bed and slowly drew the blanket back. "Come on now…don't be such a baby."
The girl sat up. Her long black hair with green undertones fell down to cover her face.
"That's a good girl. Now let's get down and have some breakfast. Ikari-kun has something interesting to tell you."

Mikagami Soujiroh is not a very patient and kindhearted man. In fact, he has very little humanity left in him. His sister however is the exact opposite of him. Mikagami Setsuko is a gentle and kind woman. That is one of the reasons why she chose to be a doctor…not a cold-hearted lawyer which her brother became.
They are the children of Dr. Sachi Miyamato and military officer, Gen. Daisuke Miyagami…the founders of Miyagato Tech. Institute and spearheads of Human GENOM Project. The said project totally changed their lives…lives that lead to suffering and ill fate.
Soujiroh scrutinized each and everyone seated around the table. Scientists and former military officials who worked for his father came upon his summons.
"Is there new basis that you have found regarding your mother's research to be calling us today?" a former 2-star general asked.
Soujiroh snapped his fingers and his assistant came immediately with a big book entitled, Activating Evolution. "There's no new basis. I'm just continuing what my beloved mother has started." He took the book and flipped it open.
Setsuko's eyes narrowed upon the sight of the book. 'You're such a demon Soujiroh. You never wanted to pursue Mom's research. All you wanted is to extract revenge.'
'Vengeance on those who robbed you of our parent's love and attention.'
Soujiroh sighed. "According to this book that my mother wrote, there is a possibility of more people are discovering that they are the so called, Evolved Humans. From the old list, we were only able to secure 15 individuals. There should be more."
One from the lab gown-clad men stood up, pushing up his eyes glasses. "But we're we just following a hunch? It can be very dangerous especially that HGP was exposed to the public. We might not be able to move as freely as we did in the past."
Soujiroh placed the book down. "That is the reason why I called you all in today. This is not a hunch. I, myself found another one when I was traveling the world." He lips curved up into a sinister smile.
"Taja, come closer." He called and his assistant stepped up again.
Setsuko stared at the Indian boy who delivered the book earlier. She took off her earphones and listened very carefully. 'What's that?' she asked herself as she listened to the beat of his heart. The rhythmic beating that used to be so calm took up pace. 'This is not fear…it is anger.'
Her eyes gazed on her twin brother. 'What did you do to have this boy loathe you so much and yet still serves you with loyalty?'
Soujiroh smiled at his associates as he motioned to his assistant. "This is Taja. I found him when I was exploring in India a year ago. He's one of the evolved humans. He has the ability to intercept, generate and interpret wireless transmissions."
He stood up and towered over the young boy. "He can read emails and text messages even before they are received and he can send messages directly from his mind."
Soujiroh turned to his audience with arms wide open, as if inviting them. "Just imagine the power, the advantage, the wealth that you will be having with these people around. Don't you want to have a taste of it?"

Breakfast was unexciting as usual…very much unlike what Ikari had expected. It had been so long since the whole house erupted in joy. He was hoping that his news regarding Echizen Ryoma would perk up everyone's attention but it didn't.
'She didn't even bat an eyelash!' Ikari protested silently when he continued eating. For 12 years they've been like this. Everyone would be in the same mood except for one…her. She never makes a single sound, nor changes her poker face. She's always the one who would be there with them and yet she's still as distant as ever…a stranger.
Ikari sighed as he toyed with his food. Everyone beside him was eating with gusto, used to the fact that she will never change. Ikari should be used to it as well but he never ceased hoping that one day, she would smile once more and grace them with her soft voice, like she did 12 years ago to keep them brave.
The eldest among them and the one who stood up as their father, Minuoe Saturo cleared his throat as he settled his fork down. "Remember today's house-keepers, that would be Ikari-kun, Paython-kun and Hanna-chan. Ririn-chan and Kyouya-kun will come with me to do groceries and surveillance duties."
Ikari snorted when he caught Paython's irked face. 'Trapped once more with Mister Rigid.' His ears perked up when he heard the familiar soft dragging of chair. He looked up only to see her hair cascading behind her as she went directly to her room.
"Dancho will be lying-in for today after her surveillance duty for two straight days." Saturo stood up and started cleaning their side of the table. "You two numskulls better not give her and Hanna-chan trouble while we're away, understand?"
"Hai!"
Ikari slumped back on his seat…looking very dejected. Sometimes…sometimes he wanted to do drastic things in order to illicit emotions from her again. He just couldn't help but wish that the child in her didn't die.
'I just want to see Reina smile again.'

Setsuko stormed out of the conference room, fuming in anger. Her brother's assistant ran after her but she just brushed him off.
'I don't know if knowing that they're at it again is more maddening than being called worthless.' She gritted her teeth.
"What about you're sister? Is she going to be submitted to the research again?" Miyazawa Katou, their mother's former protégée asked, dragging all eyes to pin Setsuko in her seat.
A hearty, malicious laughter echoed inside the room. It took a few seconds for her brother to get a hold of himself.
"Oh don't bother. Her ability is useless anyway."
A loud bang was heard and they saw Setsuko off her seat, looking very murderous. "YOU AMBITIOUS, INHUMAN MURDERERS!!!!! I will make sure that things will never be easy for you and your rebirth of the HGP!" she pushed her chair back, not caring if it crashed against an antique looked dresser.
"I hope you all die like what happened years ago, you assholes!"
She already stuck a cigarette stick in her mouth and was peacefully puffing away when she felt warm hands on her shoulders.
"Get your hands off—"
"Relax Setsuko." She turned around as saw the friendly face of Dr. Miyazawa. "It's me, Katou."
Setsuko sighed in relief as she allowed herself to relax. "What are you doing here? Is the meeting done?"
"No." Katou sat down on the sofa. "But I left anyway."
Setsuko sat across him, worry etched on her face. "You're not supporting this monstrosity, Katou-san. You're not like them."
The man sighed. "I have no power over your brother's wishes, Setsuko. I am a mere puppet to this game."
Setsuko put off her cigarette. "But you can't! You know for sure that everything…every horrible thing my father did in the past will be repeated in my brother's charge. I still have my nightmares. Hearing how my best friend died is not something I could just easily forget." Her eyes welled up with tears.
"I know Setsuko…I understand."
"No you don't!" Setsuko muttered in outrage. "Reina was only 3 years old! She was a genius and yet my father destroyed her life!"
"It was your mother who started all of this." Katou said. "If she just listened to me and forget about her discovery…none of these could ever have happened. They both have their share of the guilt and punishment for their actions."
Setsuko brushed off her tears. "It was my father who grew greedy of the power he could achieve by controlling people like us. He didn't even care if his own daughter would die for the sake of his future gains."
"Guess like father, like son." Katou sighed. "But I think we have edge in this." He leaned closer to Setsuko. "There's a way to put a stop to your brother's plans."
Setsuko's eyes widened. "Really?"
"All the lists, the documents were destroyed in the explosion…" Katou's eyes darted to a fro to check for eavesdroppers. "But you mother entrusted me with the second list containing the last 7 Evolved humans alive."
"Seven?"
"Well…six since your brother was able to get to Taja. 6 more are here in Japan and their safety lies in our hands." Katou took her hand. "This is a way to seek amends for your parents' mistakes. There is still hope that we can save these people from doom."
Setsuko's lips slowly curved up into a knowing smile. "Yes…for salvation."
"For salvation."
