I swear my heart stopped.
Hyoma's gone?
I looked at them with disbelief. This could easily be a prank of Gingka's, but he was looking sad too.
"Hyoma's... Gone?" I asked quietly. Madoka nodded, and started lightly crying. Gingka pulled her into a hug. Then he looked at me.
I have no idea how, but I wasn't crying. In fact, my eyes weren't even wet with tears. I was thinking. I wanted to be sad, but for some reason I wasn't. I felt like it wasn't true. That Hyoma was waiting to call me when we got back to the B-Pit.
"I have to go talk to Maru," Madoka finally said. She pulled away from Gingka's hug, and walked away. That left both me and Gingka.
"Let's go back," I said. We walked out of the Bey Park. By now it was nighttime, and the stars were out. We were just about to the B-Pit when we heard feet landing. We both whipped around to see about three people surrounding us. Madeson walked through them.
"Great, both Haganes together. This makes the job a lot easier," he said. They pulled out their guns. Gingka grabbed my hand. Madeson gave a signal, and they fired. Gingka and I ducked, then while they were readying their next shot we ran. Gingka grabbed a pole and swung up. I followed. We kept swinging onto new poles before finally we were on top of a building. We could hear them thundering up the stairs.
"Come on," Gingka said. I nodded. He grabbed my hand again and we jumped from building to building. Eventually we were near enough to the WBBA headquarters that we jumped onto the road and ran inside. Gingka pulled out a key and opened the door. We ducked inside. Gingka led me up the stairs and back to the meeting room, where Tsubasa was working on a computer.
"We've been attacked again," Gingka said, making Tsubasa turn around.
"Both of you?" Tsubasa asked.
"Yeah."
"Hmm, I think it's about time we find the base," Tsubasa concluded. "Tomorrow. Find your friends and Zyro's group. We'll discuss the matter further," he said. We both nodded.
We got into the B-Pit. Before going into our sepreate rooms Gingka said, "Come find me tomorrow morning. I want to give you something. You can wake me up."
"Okay," I agreed.
I woke up the next morning, half expecting Hyoma to be tapping on my window, only to remember he won't ever do that again. I sat up and tried to distract myself. I remembered what Gingka said. Before I could get up Madoka came into my room.
"I got a call from Tsubasa yesterday. I'm about to go get everyone," she said.
"Thanks."
She left the room and closed to door. I stood up and got dressed. I decided to give Gingka a little more time to sleep, so I read a book. I heard the shop door open, so I knew everyone had come back. I went to Gingka's room. I had to gasp, I couldn't help it.
Gingka's room was a mess. There were clothes all over the floor, pillows thrown across the room. The bedsheets were on the ground and the window was open. On his desk was a strange device. It was a red bar on a bracelet, with the Pegasus sign on it. There was a note.
"We can communicate. -Gingka"
There was a note under Gingka's note
"Again. You fools. Thinking you could get rid of me. Now I have him. Again."
I knew instantly what happened. I raced downstairs.
"Oh hey Gingkai-"
"Gingka's gone!"
Everyone looked at me. I had grabbed the note, and worn the bracelet.
"Doji's back?" Madoka asked as she read the note.
"We have to go, now!" Zyro said, jumping up. Everyone else jumped up.
"Maru, you're staying here. They have weapons, and you're too young. Kite, you should stay here too. You can help them gather whatever data the WBBA can about the base," I said. "Everyone else is coming."
"I'm in!" Ren agreed.
"How fast can we find the base?" Shinobu asked.
"An hour maybe? If we had something to use to reach Gingka it could go faster but we don't-"
"We do!" I exclaimed. I pointed to the bracelet. "We have this!"
"How does it work?" Maru asked.
"I don't know."
"Well, if that won't work, then we'll just look for the base."
"What will we do when we get there?"
"Whatever is thrown at us."
"Gingkai?" Gingka's voice said. Everyone stopped talking.
"I got the bracelet to work," I said.
"I noticed."
"Where are you?"
"I think at the base."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm pretty sure."
"What!"
"Nothing broken. A few scratches, but nothing major."
I sighed. "We're coming to get you."
"Okay, that's probably a good idea, considering my feet are chained to the floor."
"WHAT!?"
"I forgot to mention that, didn't I?"
"We'll be there as soon as possible."
"Okay."
I ended the call. "Let's go."
