Chapter 11: The Arrival
The glass windows shatter sending tiny pieces of glass falling like rain drops. The people inside braced for cover from the glass but one person actually stood up looking into the blue light.
Haruhi is the one standing up, "Kyon."
"Haruhi!" I jump into the room and hug her.
The others daze by the bright light as their eyes become used to the light they can clearly see the light of several blue giants around the tower.
"What did you do?!" The Doctor yells worried.
I raise an annoyed eye brown to him as he interrupts my reunion with Haruhi, which I've had to take the long way to get to.
As I go over in my head all the things I need to explain I wonder how does the Doctor not go nuts having to explain everything.
I take a breath trying to figure where to start, "Remember how you explained to me that I developed esper abilities and that I was connected to Haruhi?" I get a nod from the timelord. "Once I had some practice with these abilities thanks to me taking the long way here. Once I got back I sensed that Haruhi was making another closed spaced around the area so when I jumped out of the window I just let myself slip into the closed space. There I was picked up by one of the Celestials. Since they are extensions of Haruhi's own subconscious I just talked to them. I told them what was happening and brought them here with me."
"You talked to them!" The Doctor brimmed with pride. "Everyone else has been trying to tear them apart but you tried to reason with them! I love it!"
Ever the pacifist.
That's when I turn to the esper who are now cowering by the wall. I suppose they have been fighting these things for so long and now they have them in their world so I guess they have reason to be scared. It's like your recurring nightmare walking up to you when you are wide awake.
"They're harmless now, well, mostly harmless." I tell them.
It mostly is they are all standing still not causing any harm, UNIT should have cleared the area so their shouldn't be any panicked crowds.
"Nagato!" Haruhi yells. "Asakura took her! She said something about putting her on top of the tower."
"Let's get her back." I tell her giving her hand a tight squeeze.
Looking around I can tell the others are ready to help.
Then a faint red light begins to show through. I turn around to see the crimson power ball himself, Koizumi. A soon as he enter the room he let that energy vanish and he jumps onto the floor. Even now he looks so smug.
"I see you have cause a great deal of trouble." With that tone you'd think he wasn't worried about anything I could do.
"Koizumi." I greet him coldly.
"I see you've cause a great deal of trouble. The closed space has merged with the real world." Well I guess he would be able to figure that out. "But I am not only disappointed that after all this you couldn't have left things well enough."
"Well enough!" He seems to be taken back by the outrage in my voice. "I had months to figure out exactly what you would be getting out of this little deal with Asakura. Really if anyone should be leaving well enough alone it should be you."
"Is that so?" With that he raises his hand and a little ball of red light forms in his palm.
He doesn't hesitate to fire it right at me, I push Haruhi out of the way just in time to create a blue shield out of energy. The little ball explodes when they connect my shield. Lucky me I've been practicing and thanks to Haruhi I can access the same energies Koizumi does.
"Tsuruya?" I ask.
"Yeah." The green haired girl chirps.
"Can you drive a car?"
"Yeah."
"All right you drive."
"Drive what?" Tsuruya asked but I handed her a remote so she was about to change her question.
"Don't use that until she shows up."
"Who?" She asked her newest question that comes up.
"You'll recognize her. Don't worry she should show up when Asahina decides to move." None of them seem to know what's going to happen.
I decided just to tell them what to do. "Silurian's while I'm dealing with the esper please get my friend off the top of the tower." They give me a nod. "Jack,Martha and Mickey please take everyone up stairs and hold of Asakura. Get Haruhi and everyone out of here. Doctor...just do what you do."
"Oh well let's then go." The Doctor joyfully comments. I guess that he's starting to see what I'm planning the others just seem to have faith enough in me.
"I'm staying with you." Haruhi insists.
I'm just glad Koizumi doesn't seem to want to attack just yet.
"Haruhi, trust me." I plead with her. "Go with them. I need to spend sometime with Koizumi."
"All right but you better come back to me in one piece." She gives me a weak smile.
They all climb into the elevator except for the Silurian's who decided to climb onto the outside of the tower and climb upwards. The elevator doors close leaving me alone with the esper.
"I don't think those strange lizard men will be able to get Miss Nagato off this tower."
"Don't talk about them like that. They don't like being talk about like they are common animals." I point out.
"Yes, well, maybe you should have kept them here with you. We now out number you. Or did you for get about my organization."
As Mori and the others get up still a little shocked from seeing Celestials in the real world.
"You might want to take care of some of those Celestials they seems to be getting a little upset."
The Celestial starts growling and fidgeting.
"What's going on?" Mori asks.
"Didn't Koizumi tell you? The Celestials are getting a little upset because of his new little friend is coming. If you don't want them to tear up this tower, which you need, you have to send them away."
Koizumi sighed rolling his eyes, "He's right. Keep the celestials from the tower. That's your only order. Keep the tower safe at all costs."
The espers throw each other a confused look but as they are wrapped around by that glowing red energy, they all seem to turn into giant red globes. They quickly speed out of the room to deal with the Celestials. The blue giants step back trying to swat away at them.
The room grows silent as it becomes just us two. He still smiles as I can't help but scowl at him.
"Why do you look so upset with me?" Koizumi says ever so innocently.
"You kidnapped my friends and sister. Oh and then there is that little business with the deal you made with Asakura."
"How much do you know?"
"It took me some time to figure out why you would be doing this. The only reason anyone would go to these lengths, love." I hated saying that. "One time in this alternate December Nagato sent me to I talked to the alternate you. He told me that he loved Haruhi. I didn't think much of it at the time I just figured that you were different. Then I got stuck traveling alone I had time to think about you and how you thought. You literally idolized Haruhi and she consumed your every waking moment. You essentially fell in love with Haruhi. You essentially lived for years to take care of her and now I was doing that. You must have hated that." I'm glad Haruhi or the Doctor aren't hearing this I would never live down that the physiology class I took actually came in handy. "So I'm guessing you are going to have Asakura alter Haruhi's memories and without her powers she can be your fiancee. And you can spend the rest of your life taking care of her. I'm sure you'd be very happy having a god dependent on you."
I'm sicken by the thought of Haruhi being brainwashed but I hate it more that Koizumi isn't denying it. I wonder how messed up his mind is having to think of nothing but secretly serving someone for years and then finding himself useless.
Koizumi starts to glow bright red as a ball of energy surrounds him. I wish I could say that dealing with him is going to be the hardest part of this day.

Ryoko Asakura watches the Celestials with Mikuru Asahina by her side. She could already fell the approach of the one she waited for.
Then the door of the elevator open distracting her for a moment. As the Doctor, Haruhi, the others and some people she didn't recognize arrived.
"Hello." Ryoko greeted them polite as ever.
None of them seemed pleased to see her.
"This ends here." The Doctor claimed his voice certain.
"What are you going to do?" The interface questioned. "You don't even have your screwdriver."
"Mikuru!" Haruhi pleaded. "Why are you doing this? We were friends."
Mikuru didn't answer she couldn't stand to look at Haruhi or the others.
"You don't have to stay here." Asakura turned to Asahina. "You can go back to your time. You have what you came for and Suzumiya will be neutralized soon. There isn't anything you can do anyway."
The time traveler looked downcast, she knew she was right there wasn't anything she could do to help them, she was reminded that she could never helped any of her friends. Either way it was like a dagger in her heart to see her friends so upset with her.
She moved her hand to the side of her head and with a flash of light she was gone.
The Doctor started to count down, "Three, two, one-"
Another flash of light and Mikuru appeared again tossed into the room, smacking into the wall.
As she groaned another person appeared in the room.
"Hello Sweetie." River Song smiled.
"Hello River." The Doctor smirked. "I guessed Kyon would have gotten to you. He couldn't have fixed the Tardis by himself."
"No, he meet me in my University days. Told me what was happening. Told me to go into the time travel agency so I could run into him and plant the idea and hack their servers so when she traveled back I could lock on and be here now. Good thing too I tried to show up on my when I got bored I couldn't, needed a signal to trace."
"Good, I think we will need your help. Tsuruya hit the remote she's here."
"Oh!" The green haired girl clicked the button on the remote she was given.
Nothing happened, well, nothing they could notice.
"It's too late, Doctor." Asakura ranted.
The tower began to shake and the sky was filled with a bright blue light.
"They're here." The Doctor marveled. "This is where it gets tricky."
"What's going on?" Haruhi groan feeling a pain go through her body.
"It's starting. Forcing Yuki to take your powers wouldn't be easy or clean. They couldn't risk loosing that data in the transfer. They had to come here."
Martha, Mickey and Jack readied their guns as did River. The others looked around confused.
The Doctor looked up into the sky through the broken window. "The Data Overmind is here."
Authors Notes: Sorry for the delay. I have had a huge writer block. Anyway here is another chapter. River is here but so is the Data Overmind, what is Kyon's crazy plan, what does the remote do? I will probably answer some of those questions. Anyway what do you guys think? Leave me a review and tell me what you think so far. Once again thanks to all of you who have stuck around so far. Hope to be back soon
