In the previous chapter, the party has tracked all the way from Planetpune to Lowee. In hopes to meet with White Heart. But from the shadows are the ominous plans of and Arfoire. There plan has already been set in motion, as Hiro starts to go down memory lane. He remembers a moment back when he was young, while his dad was still alive. Will this plan succeed in breaking Hiro? Find out!
We are Hiro
After getting a good night's rest from yesterday we head to the Lowee Basilicom. We enter the Lowee Basilicom as a blast of heat hits us… We all give a collective sigh of relief. "So this is what relief feels like." Ankh says walking in wiping the snow off of his shoes. Neptune walks over to the front desk. "Hello? Is Lady White Heart around?"
Vert:(looks to IF) My, it just struck me, but was it fine to just come to Lowee's Basilicom?
IF:(tilts head) What do you mean?
Vert: If Conversation was seen at the Basilicom, they may be in this together. This is like jumping into enemy territory. I hope nothing bad happens.
IF:(looking around) Now that you mention it, I'm getting a bad vibe here.
Compa:(looks to IF) But, since we're here, we may as well ask around for Constipation already.
What? Is Compa so bad at names that she messed up Conversation, to Constipation? Talk about being an airhead. "Welcome to the Lowee Basilicom. Have you come to see Lady White Heart?" I turn to see a maid with a light blonde hair, two hair clips, brown eyes, and a white, and red maid uniform with a brown bow. "Yes, there's a number of questions we'd like to ask."
Financier: Very well. To start, I am Financier. Lady White Heart's chamberlain. It must have been cold outside. Let me prepare something warm for you.
Nep:(raises hand) Ooh! Can I get a nice warm bowl of steamed pudding?!
Compa:(smiles) I would be happy if I had a cup of sugar topped with hot chocolate.
IF:(sits down) I'll have milk tea.
Vert:(smiles) I'll have the same. Oh but a Darjeeling pure blend for the tea leaves.
Ankh:(looks out window) Ice.
Hiro:(points at Ankh) How can you have Ice when we were trekking through the ice! (walks up to Fanc) Don't listen to any of them. Tea is fine, any type that's from Lowee is fine.
Fanc:(bows) I understand. A Lowee tea it is.(walks off)
Everyone except Hrio:(disappointed) Why did you have to do that!?
Hiro:(sighs) Seriously? Am I the only one who's looking out for you health?
Location change: Lowee's Goddess room
Fanc:(bows) Lady White Heart. We have some visitors here who would like to meet you.
Blanc:(nods) So, they finally came… Let them enter.
The six of us enter the room. "Hi, Lady White Heart! I'm Neptune, and this here is…" Neptune goes in to speak but is interrupted. "Cut the introductions. I know you all very well." Blanc says. That's when I start to feel an ominous feeling of dread filling the room. "Hiro. You may want to get ready to fight." Ankh says handing me TaToBa, I give a small nod.
Blanc:(serious face) You are famous as messengers of Momus, that is.
Everyone is put off guard by that remark. "Everyone, come out. Capture these heretics…" Blanc signals in troops who surround us. "So they're the messengers of Momus…" One of the guards say pointing their weapons at us. "They're all young girls and children." Oh so apparently me and Ankh are chopped liver I guess. Fucking dicks.
Blanc:(stands up) Looks like you're cornered.
Vert:(dumbfounded) Blanc...are you serious?
Blanc:(nods) Dead serious. While I'm at it, I'll end your misery here too Vert.
Ankh:(readies arm) I guess we're gonna have to blast our way out of this mess.
Hiro:(shakes head) No bad idea. Were too cramped in here. If we were to battle in here. I'd be a one sided battle.
Blanc:(evil Grin) Oh? Gonna run away again? After all that happened to your father?
Hiro:(pauses) Wh-What?
Blanc:(evil look) I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about. You ran away from, the fact that your dad had died on the battlefield like a pitiful Rat.
Hiro: …..
Blanc:(sighs) Is it because of that, you decided to worship Momus? You truly are a heretic.
I slowly start to walk forwards as an aura forms around me. "Hey bitch. What did you say about my dad?" I say as an burst of energy makes everyone take a step back. "You'll regret saying smack talk about my dad, you pile of shit." I can feel the very ground start to crack under me.
We are Ankh
A small shock wave blasts as everyone takes a step back. Hiro. He truly is turning into a Greed. "I won't let you flap your mouth about my dad!" Hiro says unsheathing his blade. That's when shots are fired hitting the meatbags off of their legs and launching them into the walls. That's when Birth jumps down and runs over to Hiro. "Birth." Hiro says surprised at the fact.
We are Hiro
Birth takes aim and starts to blast the guards. "What the hell are you doing here?" I ask him. "We can't have OOOs go beserk here. Run now." Birth says as he blasts the window behind us. "He's right. Everyone follow me!" IF says jumping out the window. "Here goes nothing!" Neptune says jumping out the window. "W-Wait for meeee!" Compa jumps out. "See ya down at the bottom." Ankh says floating out. "I always wanted to do this. Just like in the movies! Here I come!" Vert jumps out the window. Which only leaves me and Birth here to fend off the guards.
Birth:(points to window) Hurry jump now! Follow your allies! Someone will come to bring you to us.
Us? Odd choice of words...Fine. "Don't die on me." I say as I jump out the window assassin's creed style.
Location change: Lowee Snowfield
We run through the snow fields and into the forest. We have little time to get any rest as the authorities are after us. After what feels like hours of running we stop in a well forested area of the woods. "I-I wonder if we're safe now?" Neptune asks looking around.
IF:(shakes head) No, they'll catch up soon. Let's head towards the city.
So we head into the snow fields, hopefully we can get to the neighboring city. "That bitch is gonna pay." I mumble to myself. "Hiro." I hear from above as Ankh lands on the ground.
Ankh:(takes out medals)You guys are not safe here. To ensure that either of us get a chance of escaping with the medals, you take half.
"I see your thinking process." I respond as Ankh hands me the Medals for TaToBa, GataKiriBa, and Chetta. The rest Ankh keeps with himself. "I'll take a separate route from you." Ankh says with his wings folding out. "Don't you dare lose any of them or die on my watch." Ankh squishing my cheeks. "Ok I get it." I smile as he lets go and takes off...But that smile I gave him was a forced and I'm pretty sure he knows as well.
Vert:(taps Hiro's shoulder) Hiro darling? Are you ok?
Hiro:(turns around and marches forwards) Yeah. Just fine don't worry about me.
We are Ankh
Hiro...I didn't even have to be a Greed to tell that he was furious at that shrimp. he must have used PuToTyra to tap into Hiro's memoires. Then he told the shrimp about it. Perhaps I-
?:(fires a shot) Don't even think about trying to console OOOs.
I dodge the shot as I turn to where it fired from to see a boy similar to Hiro but using the Birth Buster. "Who are you?" I demand as I scoffs and points to the sky. "My dad told me this: To request a name, you must give your own." This style of speaking. It's definitely similar to Hiro's. "I'm Ankh. Tell me are you related to Hiro in anyway?" I respond.
Kengo:(smiles) Glad to finally meet you Ankh. I'm Kengo, and I'm Hiro's my cousin.
Ankh:(sighs) I see. Hiro did mention about you. I need to talk about you
Kengo:(Nods) I see. I understand but I need to do something first.(pulls small wire)
Huh? Thwip! What the? I fell my neck as I notice a dart has hit my neck. "Hey! What the...Big….Idea." I fall to the ground and pass out.
We are Hiro
We march through the snow, but since the snow is at least 3 inches tall it's hard to move around. "There they are!" I hear from behind. I turn to see some Lowee soldiers aiming at the others. "Vert! Look out!" I run in the way of Vert as a bullet enters the front of left arm. "Nice! We have injured him." One of the Soldiers say rushing up. I hobble onto my feet as I strap my belt on.
Vert:(grabs Hiro) No! With your arm like that you can't fight! We must Run!
Hiro:(grits teeth) Tch!(feels arm) You have a point.(Puts medals in sword) Stand back!
I take out the scanner, and I scan the blade. "Triple Scanning Charge!" as I try to slash the wound from the gunshot, shoots incredible pain through my arm. The blade drops to the ground. "GURAAAH~!" I clench my arm as Compa runs up. "Hold on!" I grab the blade once again with my right arm as slash the ground creating a smoke cloud to blind the soldiers. We rush off into further into snow.
Time skip 20 minutes of running
We stop in a secluded area. "Were close to the next city so we can hide there." IF says as I fall face first into the snow. "Hiro!" Compa runs up and starts to mend the wounds.
Compa:(looking through bag) Uh no. I don't have the tools to take the bullet out!
I take out my Butterfly knife that I keep on me. I fold it into blade mode, as I jab it into my arm. "Vein, Vein, Muscle, Nerve! Bullet!" I say as the bullet flies out of my arm. I give a sigh as Compa starts to cover up the bullet wound. "When did you learn how to do that?" IF ask as she scanned the area.
Hiro:(looks down) Heh Let's just say...I've been through some…Tough situations.
Compa:(looks at IF) Iffy? Are we near the city? I'm starting to get sleepy, and I need to get some more bandages.
IF:(points North West) It's only a little further. Lets keep going.
I get up and Neptune puts an arm on me. "Don't try and do anything rash ok?" I nod as I put an arm over her. "Let's go." "There they are! In the Forest!" That's when a Lowee soldier runs up. I give a sigh. First insults to my dad, then we're targeted for being messengers of momus, then getting another reminder of my past, now this!...Sigh~ When will this day end?
