The 51st Night- Amnesia

Lavi was called into the destroyed infirmary by Rob. The Bookman went into the room, pausing when he saw Kiki sitting up. Komui looked to Lavi seriously.

"What's up, Chief?"

"As you can see, Kiki here has woken up," Komui said while Kiki looked around the room in confusion.

"Yeah, so?" Lavi wondered and Komui glanced at Kiki.

"I want to know how," he said and Lavi nodded before walking over to the bed. He picked up a stool and set it down next to the bed before sitting down on it. Kiki watched silently with a dazed look. Lavi stared intently at Kiki.

"How do you feel, Kiki?"

"Um… Fine?" Kiki wondered with a slight tilt of her head, "Where am I?"

"The infirmary. You've been asleep for a while," Lavi answered and Kiki nodded slowly to show she understood. Reever slipped into the room and whispered something in Komui's ear, making Komui's face change to surprise. Lavi noticed and looked to Komui. "What is it, Komui?"

Komui looked to Lavi and shook his head. "Just a message I have to take. Continue," he said and left with Reever in a hurry. Lavi looked back to Kiki who was looking around again. Lavi narrowed his eye and put his hand to his chin.

"Kiki?" Kiki looked over at Lavi.

"Yes?"

"Do you know who I am?" Lavi asked curiously and Kiki shook her head.

"Not a clue."


Komui walked into the room filled with monitors. Reever motioned to Johnny as Komui put a headset on.

"This is Chief Komui of HQ," Komui said and a voice on the other end sounded relieved through the static.

"Chief…! This is BZZT Finder in BZZT Edo BZZT. Our BZZT squad was attacked by BZZT a BZZT while looking BZZT in the BZZT residential BZZT. Please send BZZT help! Our BZZT talismans are BZZT dying! They won't BZZT last BZZT long BZZZZZZT." The voice was lost in the static, but a scream reached through the static seconds later. Komui closed his eyes and removed his headset before he looked to Johnny.

"What is the exact location of the Finder?" he asked and Johnny tapped away on the keyboard before answering.

"Edo's residential area that survived. There was a suspected Innocence there, but no more claims were made after five months ago," Johnny stated and Komui nodded.

"Reever, get any Exorcist still able to move. If it's Innocence there's a chance it could be a Fragment." Reever nodded and ran off while Komui stared at the screen that showed a pulsing dot over Edo. "This must end soon…"


The mines were cold in the morning chill as the workers headed off to work. Tyki yawned loudly while he stretched his arms above his head. His friends chuckled happily.

"What's wrong, Tyki? That secret job of yours becoming too much to bear?" they asked and Tyki grinned sheepishly.

"Nah, I just thought I'd rather spend time here," he replied and one of the two guys nodded.

"Yeah, I mean, how long exactly were you gone? Five years? You had us worried to death."

"Sorry," Tyki said and rubbed the back of his neck. His friends laughed and shrugged.

"It's fine. At least you're back. Eeze seems happier too. Speaking of which, where is he?" they wondered while looking around. Tyki glanced around until he heard a familiar laugh coming from above the mine entrance.

"Tyki Mikk! Show yourself now or else!"

"Yeah, or else! Hehe!"

Tyki twitched slightly at the voices and ran off towards the mine's entrance. His two friends stared after him in surprise. Tyki reached the entrance and looked up to see Jas and Debi staring down at him with their guns pointed at him.

"About time, jerk!" Debi snapped and then grinned widely. "You're coming with us!"

"Sorry, you two. But I won't be," Tyki said calmly and Debi's grin didn't fade. In fact, it got wider.

"That wasn't a request," he said before Jas pulled Eeze up from behind the twins. Tyki froze up as Jas put his gun to Eeze's head with a grin. Debi chuckled before pointing his gun straight at Tyki's head. "So? Feel like coming now, traitor?"


Kanda was bitter again as he stood by Jordan's train while Aroc was leaning against the train with his arms crossed behind his head. Kanda and Aroc were glaring at each other angrily.

"Why the hell are you here?" Kanda snapped coldly and Aroc huffed.

"Cause I was told to. Why are you here?" Aroc snapped back just as coldly. The two glared at each other more even as Lavi came out with Kiki shortly behind him. Kanda and Aroc glared at Lavi in unison.

"And why the hell is she here?" they both snapped, making Kiki hide behind Lavi in fright. Lavi sighed sadly at the two.

"You two seem destined for each other," he remarked, increasing the intensity of their glares.

"You want to die, Baka Usagi?"

"I'll fry that hair of yours pitch black, eye-patch!" Kanda and Aroc snapped bitterly. Lavi grimaced as Jordan came out of the church with Komui beside him along with Milly. Komui smiled, despite the glares from Kanda and Aroc. Kiki poked her head out from behind Lavi to look at Komui. Milly noticed Kiki, and Kiki quickly ducked her head back behind Lavi.

"Kiki's awake?" Milly asked, not sounding very concerned. Komui nodded before adjusting his glasses.

"Now I want you all to be serious. A Finder was attacked in Edo a short while ago-" Komui started to say, but Kanda interrupted with a huff.

"So what? It was just a Finder?"

"As I was saying. The Finder was checking out an old Innocence claim made in the area a few months ago. It might be a Fragment so you all with go," Komui stated and Lavi nodded in understanding. Kanda glowered but didn't say anything. Aroc grimaced and looked at Komui silently.

"And we're the only ones able to go?" he asked and Komui nodded with a smile.

"Everyone else is either resting or is helping to rebuild," he said happily at the mentioning of work being done without him around. Aroc sighed and Milly looked towards Lavi, but was focused on the top of Kiki's head which was visible to Milly.

"And Kiki's here, why?"

"She was born in Edo, so she might be able to remember the way around. Plus during the attack, a man called Ryuu escaped from his cell. He was after Kiki, so I thought it would be better if she was with you all instead of here with all the invalids," Komui said getting serious again. Lavi nodded again and Kiki poked her head out a little.

"I'll try my best…" she said meekly and Komui smiled. He clapped his hands curtly and ushered them all into Jordan's train.

"Don't come back without a gift for me!" he said right before the train rocketed off, so nobody could retort. Komui smiled and then started sneaking around the church to avoid getting caught and put to work.


The train slowed to a stop in the middle of the street in Edo. Lavi clamored out of the train with a pale look on his face. Kanda stepped off the train perfectly fine along with Aroc. Milly staggered out of the train while Kiki sat crouched down next to Lavi while poking him. Kanda scanned the area with a hand on Mugen's hilt.

"Wow, what a deadbeat place. Man, it's already night here? I'll never get used to the time differences," Aroc remarked and Milly nodded in agreement. Jordan stayed in the train to avoid fighting if anything showed up. Kanda looked around some more and then huffed.

"Well, where's the Innocence?" he wondered out loud, but nothing answered him. Aroc shrugged, making Kanda angry again. Kanda stomped off down the street and the other watched him leave.

"I guess we're splitting up," Lavi said after standing up. Kiki continued to poke him regardless. Milly glared at Kiki before stomping off the opposite direction. Aroc watched Milly leave too and he sighed quietly.

"I guess so. Have fun with the amnesiac one, Lavi," Aroc said before jumping up onto the tall wall and running off. Lavi watched them all go before sighing sadly with Kiki poking him more.

"Can you stop that?" Lavi asked and Kiki stopped before bowing her head a little.

"Sorry," she whispered and Lavi looked around more. High above in the sky, the clouds covered the moon, but above the clouds, a bandaged torso with black material coming out of it hovering in the air. Its iron mask gleamed in the moonlight.

"They're here," Tut said out loud to himself before chuckling eerily. From beneath the iron mask, a deep red glow started to pulse with Tut continuing to chuckle. "Is it my turn to play with God's henchmen? What fun I'll have."
