Chapter 24: Quiet wind

Magumi slowly wakes up. She looks around at her souroundings. " What the fuck?" She murmers slowly pulling herself up. She feels her head, it's bandaged up as well as her cheek. She appears to be on a small bed, with a canopy in a room with various large rocks and crackng stone walls. " Aug...gotta remember how I got here.." Magumi gets to her feet and walks to the door. Just as she is about to turn the handle, Tetsuo walks in. They face each other, looking shocked. Tetsuo is holding a glass of water. " Oh! You're awake! Good." Tetsuo says happily. Magumi looks confused. " Where are we? And....weren't you destroying the city?!" Magumi suddenly remembers. Tetsuo nods. " Yeah...the milltary was after me...and Akira..and I didn't see you ..I'm sorry.." Tetsuo bows his head. Magumi hugs him tightly. " What are we sopose to do Tetsuo?" She whispers. Tetsuo is wearing is torn cape and a white blood-stained muscle tank. Tetsuo spills the water on the floor, the glass gently tinkles across the floor. Tetsuo embraces her. " I am sorry." He says. " This is my fault." He whispers.

Kaneda gathers his senses. He scrapes himself off the pavement and stands. His world is spinning. " God.." He murmers. " What happened to Magumi..and Tetsuo?" He murmers. A woman is running tward him. " Who is that?" He thinks to himself, wobbling. " KANEDA?!" The figure shouts. " Who is that? And why is it so god damn foggy?" Kaneda murmers to himself. THe woman figure approaches and Kaneda falls. " Kaneda!" Kay shouts barely managing to catch him.

" Why are you here?" asks Magumi, still a little dizzy. " Because..I can't go back now..what if they know where I live...where we all live..and..I haft to stay here...what can I do.." Tetsuo begins, placing a hand to his forhead. " Tetsuo.." Magumi lowers her head. " I don't think that-aug.." Before Magumi can finish she crashes to the floor. Tetsuo quickly picks her limp body off the floor and places it on the bed. Tetsuo sits next to her. Did I hit Magumi with my brain waves? How will I tell her that I can control my power..How can I...save her?.... Tetsuo rests his chin in his hands. After a long while he lays next to Magumi. He is lost.

" I won't tolereate this!" Lady Gena is loosing her patience. " I WON'T! EITHER WAY...I WILL FIND THEM! EVEN IF I HAFT TO DESTROY THE WHOLE GOD FORSAKEN CITY!..." Lady Gena screams at her soilders. The old man watches shadily from behind her amongst the shadows, puffing on his cigerette. Lady Gena is starting to get red in the face. She is very, very angry. A soilder speaks up; " Miss Gena! Does that mean you are going to destroy the city before Tetsuo?" He asks angrily, with his chin cocked up. Lady Gena snaps to his remark by taking a step back. She grabs the soilder's collar. " YOU! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT I DO TO SOILDERS SUCH AS YOURSELF?!" She screams. The soilder dosen't flinch and looks very calm, he even cracks a small smile.The other soilders remain at attention. Lady Gena pulls out her large hand gun and presses it against his temple. The man's smile and cocky attitude disapear. " DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT?! WELL HERE THAN!" Lady Gena loads the gun with a quick click. She pulls very slowly back on the trigger. " STOP! I'm..sorry...I'll be at attention! DON'T KILL ME!" The soilder cries out. Lady Gena throws him to the ground hard. He lands on his back. " Pathetic." She murmers. " PATHETIC!" She screams. She storms out of the room. The old man silently slips into the shadows.

" Ryu...." The woman begins. Ryu holds his coffee cup, his hands are shaking badly. " Wha--what was that?..I never expected him to be able to mutate..we need some more artilary here.." Ryu says slowly sipping his shaking coffee. " I know what you mean...but....I managed to get a sample.." The woman says. She holds up a tiny plastic zip-lock bag, with a microscopic particle inside, between two peices of glass. " Wha--?" Ryu asks. The woman slips into his hand. " We must get this to a lab..and figure out how to destroy it..easily.." She says. Ryu nods. " This is risky..but it's worth a shot.." The man in the back of the room nods. " I don't want Kay getting hurt though.." Ryu says. The two team members sweatdrop. " Kay..again!" They think to themselves.

Magumi is still a bit shaky and dizzy, she shrugs is off. " Tetsuo..why would you destroy the city?!.." Magumi murmers. " I..wasn't thinking..I..I can barely remember.." Tetsuo says. Magumi suddenly looses her conciousness, and crashes to the floor on her stomach. Tetsuo gently scoops up her limp body and places her on the bed carefully. He lies next to her tired. " I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.." He sobs quietly.
" How can you even stand me?....."

Akira is sitting at the edge of their high up empire staring at the ocean. He is kicking his legs gently back and fourth against the building and staring at the sky,the ocean anything. He sighs. A small breeze blows his bangs slowly away from his face. He smiles gently.
