Chrono went into the warehouse Aion was in through a person-sized door and glanced around briefly. There was a barrier up that had forced him to appear a few blocks away from his target, but he had manage to orient himself and find his destination in short order. It only took a more couple minutes of walking before he reached his brother. Without hesitation – Chrono would not give Aion's captor a chance to stop him – he Froze him.
"You don't need Mimiko-san anymore, so let her go!" Chrono called out, sensing a familiar – though he couldn't place who it was – presence.
The responding voice echoed around to much for him to pinpoint the source.
"I will release her on one condition."
"...What?" Chrono asked, trying to buy time to figure out where the voice was coming from.
"You Freeze the Kowloon King for five hundred years once he is reconstituted."
Huh? He had no problem with doing this, but he really wondered why this person would want him to do that after going to the trouble of bringing him back in the first place.
"Because," The voice responded to his thoughts just before stepping out of the shadows so that he could see her (in just a pair of jeans and with no shirt on... Or bra), "My mandate is life, not death. I was created as an Ark when a natural disaster was going to destroy the homeworld of my creators. In the end I had to be launched early, leading to an error that caused me to crash into what is now the Atlantic ocean. I was never able to recreate their bodies because my organic terminal died and I could not function with a Human replacement... And now all the wombs that I needed to bring them back are gone. My purpose is gone... So I will protect and preserve the Human race as I can. It is all I can do."
Chrono's telepathy always allowed him to sense when someone was lying or not, so he knew immediately and beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was telling the truth. It came as a bit of a shock. He also wondered why she was telling him this. Chrono never did get the chance to ask her.
