GAREK"S P.O.V 3:00am wenesday
Gareki had his guard up, notifying himself to keep at a distance behind Raditz as he lead him to the Commanders room. As they walked E.O.A.P agents were stareing him down as if he would do something. Gareki himself returned the look still having the Kunai at his side from his earlier fight, gripping it tightly in his hand just in case.
He didn't forget about looking for an exit as he finally saw one in one of the maze like hallways. Good, I actually have a way to get out of here, I'll have to remember it. He thought to himself as Raditz lead him down another hallway.
You still think I took your friend? Asked Raditz plainly starting up a conversation.
Don't act like you didn't. Gareki snapped.
I didn't. Raditz said continuing to walk forward. I know I didn't, Just like I know that you're my brother.
Gareki glared at his back. You're not my brother, Get that fact strait already.
Raditz shrugged and sighed before stopping. The hallway they were in was empty not having a single E.O.A.P in it. Gareki stopped his own walking still being at a distance away from Raditz.
How do you explain the fact that we look alike? Huh? Tell me that. Raditz said turning around to face him.
I don't look like a murderer. Gareki said referring to Raditz. I kill evil not the good.
Well then...your in for a rude awakening once you find out that you've killed the good, just an hour ago.
You seriously expect me to believe that your kind- the E.O.A.P are good! Those people deserved to die after all the shit they did to the city. Setting those monsters off and attacking my teammates and boyfriend was a big mistake.
They're called Crang. Raditz corrected him.
Excuse me?
You have the wrong idea Gareki, you might as well stop- you're making yourself look bad-
I want to know what you said! Gareki interrupted.
Raditz sighed moving his black hair to one side of his head letting it hang because it was so long. Those things out there weren't by us and they're called the Crang ...just to let you know.
How do you know that? Gareki asked giving him a blank look.
Because. This very agency that you're in we specialize in eliminating alien creations such as the Varuga-I'm sure you're familiar with that. Raditz explained. we are currently trying to stop some mad scientist from creating them we know where he is but we can't stop him without your powers. To be more specific your ability to use electricity is a major bonus. meaning that it's strong.
Gareki rolled his eye's with a sigh ,shacking his head. I'm not going to help you guys, I don't trust you-hell I don't even know if you're actually good or evil. which I'm getting the impression that you are evil.
Listen your my brother aren't you supposed to have some sort of trust in me?
Gareki stared at him like he was crazy. You can't be serious...are you? Gareki couldn't believe this guy. Was he really asking him if he had any trust in a person that claimed to be good but was clearly hard to belive considering he had killed Yogi.
Does it look like I'm not? Raditz asked him. His face blank of emotions.
Gareki glared at him. You know what...I'm sick of you saying that you are my brother, but I bet you don't know a damn thing about me besides the fact that I'm an agent at the age of 20 in a relationship with a dead boyfriend that you killed. Enlighten me. He said challenging him.
Raditz gave him a hard look. All that information that he knew about Gareki was from his file reports meaning he didn't actually know anything about him considering he had wiped his memories of all of his family members. He had to think... maybe there was something he could refer to.
Raditz thought for a moment finally coming up with something after a moment of hard thought. He looked Gareki strait in the eyes.
I remember the day you were born...That was the only thing he could remember out of all the memories that had disappeared.
Gareki immediately inhaled a sharp breath his eyes widening as the memory flashed into his mind just like it had done with Yogi as he looked back into his past with just a touch of the forehead.
Gareki as an infant turned his slightly blurry vision up towards a boy a little older then himself as he lay in their mother's arms.
The boy looked at him with the same dark blue eye's as their mother muttering the word loud enough for Gareki to hear.
Brother...
Gareki snapped out of his visions, his eyes still wide especially from the fact that the very man standing in front of him was his older brother. Gareki was in pure shock at that very moment not knowing what to say.
Raditz gave him a confused look. Do you believe me know.
Gareki stood there still starring wide eyed. You got to be kidding me...please tell me this isn't true. He's a killer...my brother is a killer. I didn't want to believe that this murderer was my biological brother but now I know that he was telling the truth. He wasn't lying! Gareki didn't want to believe it but now he had to.
Gareki returned his face back to a blank look, hiding the fact that he was in shock at his now new found brother. He continued to walk, passing Raditz as he continued to stare at him with a still confused look.
You know it now don't yo-
Gareki turned around quickly pointing the sharp kunai at Raditz's face. Gareki gave him a cold look. Shut up and just lead me to this Commander of yours. He said dangerously.
They both stared each other down for a moment before Raditz broke it, he walked past Gareki and continued to lead him to the Commanders room. You still try to deny it but you know it's the truth.
Shut up! Gareki snapped. The air around them grew thin with electricity from the anger radiating off of him.
He'll realize it soon enough. Raditz thought. They both continued the way towards the Commanders room, finally getting there. Raditz pushed open the two medal doors and as soon as he did a pale blue light hit both himself and Gareki. It was from the brightness of the room.
Both of them walked inside.
Gareki looked around seeing the other two agents that were known to be Vandez and Carter standing side by side along with other E.O.A.P agents in a line shoulder to shoulder on either side of the large dome shaped room.
Gareki looked up at the glass sealing. He guessed it to be 3:00am from the slight brightness the sky had. He looked ahead of himself once again to see a women standing on a 3 step circular stage with a dark navy blue long coat that looked some what like a dress that stopped above her knees to reveal thigh high black combat boots. The women was beautiful with long purple hair the same color that reminded him of Dori's but it went to a lighter shade at the ends of the Commanders waist.
She had a stern look on her features as she turned around to face Gareki and Raditz. She put one of her hands on her hips with an unhappy look on her face.
Raditz sighed quietly. She's mad, not good...
You're late! The Commander yelled her voice echoed around the dome shaped room.
Sorry, me and my brother had something's to discuss. Raditz said putting a hand on Gareki's shoulder in which Gareki roughly shoved it off and pointed the Kunai at his face quickly in self defense yet again.
Don't fuckin touch me! Gareki snapped once again. Gareki glared at Raditz until he walked forward towards his Commander.
I take it the family reunion isn't going so well? Said the Commander crossing her arms.
Raditz shrugged as he stopped in front of the three stair stage she was standing on. It could be better.
Hm? Well it shouldn't be like this. She spoke.
Commander? Raditz had the decency to kill while on the mission even without listening to our instructions for him to stop. Vandez said quickly. Both him and Carter had yelled for him to not kill Yogi because they had already gotten Gareki so they could just leave without having to kill but of course Raditz didn't listen...he was always reckless like that. Vandez was sick of it. What kind of hero was Raditz in the first place. Killing another agent that was good. Yogi may have been with another agency but he was still good Vandez could see it. And Carter could feel it. Yogi hadn't deserved to die.
Raditz snapped his head towards Vandez. You son of a-
Raditz! The commander yelled ordering him to stop and he did. He turned back around to face her.
I thought by putting you in charge would actually put some manner in this agency but seems I've made a mistake. Now I hear that you've killed on this mission. Even though your direct orders were to retrieve Gareki by force if you have to!
Gareki looked up at her and felt the urge of anger wake up inside of him yet again.
Everyone in the room turned towards him as he walked to the center next to Raditz but still kept his distance. He clenched his fist together. So you're the one who made him come after me, do you not realize what he's done- No what you've done! Raditz is a killer and I'll be damned if I join this place knowing that he'll be here!
The Commander smirked as if what he was saying didn't mean anything. Hello Gareki, Welcome to the E.O.A.P your new agency.
No! How many times do I have to say it. I'm not staying here! Gareki said feeling a pulse of electricity leave his body from the anger he was feeling. Tell me something. What's the true reason you brought me hear? I don't believe this jackass that's standing beside me. Gareki said cocking his head towards Raditz as he called him out of his name.
The Commander kept her smirk up. I knew I'd like you from the start. But I'm afraid that what Raditz has told you if he's told you... is true. You were brought here for a specific reason and that reason is to help us on a very important mission or else this whole city will be dead.
So you are the good guys? Gareki asked putting enthuses on the word are.
Yes we are. I don't know why you would think differently. The Commander said.
Those mons- the Crang I was sure that this place had let them out on the city and I had the notion that this agency had taken my friend Nai an agent like myself. Gareki continued
I assure you Gareki Igarashi that we have taken no part in taking your friend Nai, My guess is that your friend as we speak is being held in the laboratory Uro's mansion. The Commander says folding her hands behind her back. She gave him a serious look that told him that she wasn't lying.
What? Gareki said feeling the anger inside of him go away slowly thus making his electricity settle down. What's he doing there?
I sent a few of my agents a few days ago who contacted me saying a boy who had your other agencies uniform on was being drained they tried to save him but the glass was thick to break threw, none of them could break it. But it was on Monday when I heard from them and they still haven't come back. My guess is that they're dead. But this wouldn't be the first time my agents haven't come back from Uro's mansion there have been several lost.
Drained...? Gareki asked.
Drained of his powers a.k.a abilities. It is now the third day of his being drained, by the end of this week he will be dead. I'm sure you know about this? Asked the Commander.
I do...Yogi told me that we die once all of our powers are sucked out of us within a 7 day week period. Nai has been missing for a total of three days now only having 4 more days to live left. I need to save him but how am I suppose to do that if she says her own agents didn't come out alive. I may be strong in my combat skills but my power skills I still don't have them under control except when I'm angry or having some other emotional feeling pass threw me. So the question is...What do I do?
You'll have to join us. Said a female voice known as Carter. She had said it in a way as if she had heard Gareki's thoughts. which she did.
Gareki averted his eye's to look into her honey gold ones. What-
I can read minds. She said plainly.
Gareki nodded. Not feeling a threat to her at all even though she had just evaded his thoughts. He had also noticed Vandez standing next her who gave him a friendly nod.
Gareki turned around back to looking forward not returning the friendly nod. They don't seem like a threat but I don't know if I can trust them that easily. Even if these people aren't the bad guys I still need to keep my guard up.
When I was at my agency they spoke to me about it for the first time. So yea I'm familiar with it. Gareki says to the Commander.
Then you know how dangerous it is. The Commander said.
Gareki nodded.
The Commander smirked before turning her face blank as she turned to look at Raditz.
As punishment for disobeying my orders you will die-
No! Said one of the E.O.A.P agents stepping out of line and walked over to them in the center. He had silver hair and emerald green eye's he knelt down on one knee and put a fist up to his heart and stared up at the Commander with a serious look.
I will die for him.
Gareki clenched his jaw clearly not being to happy about the fact that Raditz was being saved from his death. The bastard deserved to die after what he had done to Yogi. Gareki sure as hell wouldn't miss him.
Everyone in the room hushed quiet staring wide eyed at the agent that had offered his life up for...Raditz of all people.
Raditz kneeled down as well putting a hand on the agents shoulder. What do you think you're doing?! he whisper shouted.
You know what I'm doing, I said I would die for you the next time you screwed up in exchange from you almost dying for me on our last mission.
You don't have to do th-
No! I'm doing it...and you can't stop me.
Both of them stared at each other before Raditz sighed and stood up.
Is this what you wish? The Commander asked the both of them.
Raditz side glanced at the agent that had offered his life up for him and they both said yes. Raditz having a hard time saying it.
The Commander nodded then ordered for the agent to come to her in which he did. He walked up the three steps and came face to face with her. The Commander reached to her side and grabbed the hilt of her sword that was tied to a black belt holder around her waist and held it against his heart.
Gareki stand watching as this all played out crossing his arms as he did. Hirato wouldn't kill his own sabordinates...this place is a lot different. Gareki watched as the blade of her sword entered the agents heart and pushed it'self all the way to the other side so now it was peaking out of his back.
The agent trembled as blood came out of his mouth his eye's growing week by the seconds.
What a shame, you were so good to me Bechro. The Commander spoke before quickly pulling out her sword and watched as he fell to the floor dead at her feet. Blood pooled out from the cut and made it's way down the steps stopping at both Gareki and Raditz feet.
The Commander pushed back her hair from her eye's and shielded her sword once again. Raditz consider yourself lucky that you didn't die by my sword today but the next time you screw up and disobey my orders you are to be put to death is that understood?
Yes Commander. Raditz said nodding his head once. He felt Gareki's glare on his back but ignored it. He knew Gareki wanted him dead.
The Commander ordered some agent to clean up the dead body at her feet as she continued to talk to Gareki.
The Commander fixed her uniform before continuing. Alright, now that that's out of the way I'm assigning Raditz, Carter, and Vandez as your three day trainers leading up to our plan of attack on Uro's mansion.
Gareki was about to protest that he already had training but the Commander spoke up.
You will require our training, a different training from what you are used to. As you should know the E.O.A.P are very high ranked at what we do and since you are now a member of us you will soon learn our ways of thinking, fighting, and being strong at listening to orders in just three days.
Both Vandez and Carter stepped to his sides with their hands folded behind their backs as they listened to what she was saying.
Gareki shook his head. So when this mission is over can I go back to my actual agency?
No I'm afraid you can't, we need your powers permanently. She spoke.
I'm not joining this place.
You have no other choice, Your friends don't know where you are nor does your family and we have to keep it that way, for now you will live here like everyone else. Said the Commander.
First you kidnap me and now I'm forced to stay here learning how to be like you! I don't think so! Gareki said.
The Commander turned around faceing her back towards him. Your training starts this morning day 1 and you will sleep in Raditz headquarters where another bed is set up for you. You are for now known as Gareki Igarashi agent of the E.O.A.P.
Gareki took a step forward feeling his anger come once again as the electricity fired up. But before he could make a move medal hand restraints were set on his hands forcing the electricity back into his body. Gareki turned his head to look at Vandez who had used his powers to wild medal onto Gareki's hands forcing him to not be able to use his powers.
Gareki tried to flow the electricity out of his body but nothing happened. What did you do to me! He yelled at him.
I'm sorry. Vandez said as he and Carter grabbed him by the arms and pulled him back.
Escort him to his room until further notice. Said the Commander still with her back turned.
Gareki fought against there hold but couldn't get away as they dragged him out of the Commanders room Raditz leading them to his room.
Let me go!
Do you honestly think this can stop me!
You're making a big mistake! Gareki yelled all the while struggling against their holds on him just as the medal doors closed to the Commanders room her back still being turned but she turned her head slightly to reveal a smirk.
YOGI"S P.O.V /3;49am Wednesday
Yogi waved to Airi as he opened the apartment door to his and Gareki's home.
You'll be okay? She asked opening her own door to her apartment a few doors down.
Yogi nodded. Yeah, I'll be fine. Then he opened the door further and went inside closing it behind himself as he did. He leaned his back against the wooden door looked up at the sealing and closed his eye's.
Please, be safe Gareki...just please. Yogi thought to himself before sighing. He picked himself up off the door and walked toward the bedroom. He slid aside one of the sliding doors and walked towards the bathroom.
Once in the bathroom he turned on the sink and splashed some water on his face. Washing away the tears and puffiness from his earlier melt down with Airi. Yogi didn't remember the last time he had cried that much it must have been a long time ago since he had last felt this kind of sadness.
Yogi turned off the sink and pushed a hand threw his blonde hair making it pull back but to only fall back in place. Yogi stared at himself in the mirror, feeling out of place without someone to talk to. He reached his hand down and brought up his white T-shirt scanning past his abs and up to his chest where his heart was a cut mark still the color of red from where his own blade had penetrated.
It was strange how it had happened now that he thought about it. He hadn't had any control over himself even as the blade entered his flesh right into his heart. It seemed so unreal and yet it was all unfolding right in front of his eyes. He had questions Yogi couldn't lie about that. The main one was why wasn't he able to stop himself from doing something that could have killed himself, All of this pointed to Raditz Yogi hadn't seen him use any sort of ability but that didn't mean he didn't have one. all agents had some sort of power, So what was his? Yogi sighed. He didn't know and he didn't want to think about it at this point.
More to the point Yogi thought about his own powers and the new one that had just come to him today.
I'm able to heal myself. It's like fate gave me another chance to save Gareki where ever he might be. 100% I'll find him. and as for Raditz, Vandez, and Carter are all apart of the E.O.A.P a.k.a my enemies. Yogi muttered to himself, dropping his T-shirt back down over his stomach. Which means I can't show any mercy towards those three or the rest of them that are associated with that agency.
Yogi walked out of the bathroom turning the light off after he did so. He sat down on the bed and dropped himself until his back lay against the soft cushion of the covers, yet again he stared up at the sealing not knowing what to do with himself.
Yogi stretched his arms out hitting something while doing this. He turned his head slightly to look at a silver camcorder the exact one that Gareki bought on the trip in Iceland.
Yogi blinked at it before he slowly reached over and grabbed it, sitting up in bed he looked at it the emotional feeling of crying came to him almost instantly. He held it back.
Yogi pressed the on button on the camcorder and soon, saved videos popped onto it's hand sized small screen. There were also pictures, Yogi pressed a play through button and automatically the pictures scrolled threw one by one.
The first pictures was the time when Gareki and himself had gone up in the mountains to take pictures of the scenery and to see how big the wide open space was from the high view point. Yogi remember it to be really breathe taking.
The second picture was of Gareki sleeping peacefully. His toned bare chest was showing as he normally slept without a T-shirt.
Yogi watched as the pictures passed and passed forgetting the fact to hold back his tears unable to do it anymore. He let them drop down his nose and onto the camera and lastly onto Gareki's face that was shown in the last picture. He had a small smile on his lips as Yogi had taken this picture of him just as they had gotten into Iceland on the very first day in the airport. Gareki was a good looking young man no doubt about it and it only made Yogi even more sad to see him go with those unknown people who possibly killed him... who knew.
Yogi let out a breathe he didn't know he was holding and set the camcorder down on the night stand. He shook his head.
What am I doing? He's stronger then this. Gareki is. I shouldn't treat him like he's not.
