Promises - Chapter 6
As the tide grew so did the tempers of Linna Yamazaki and Nene Romanova. "It's your fault she's lost 'little Miss Cyberpunk'." Linna scolded, using a name from long ago. "How is it my fault?" Nene screamed back. "Well if you hadn't needed help she wouldn't be dead now would she?!?!?!" "How do you even know she's dead?" "Look!!!!" Linna yelled pointing upwards at an object moving towards them. As the object neared they forgot about they're argument and just stared at it for a moment and the outline was one of a helicopter. "A helicopter!!!!" They screamed in unison. They ran out onto the beach, forgetting about they're nakedness and began jumping up and down yelling for help. As the helicopter landed they ran towards it, a lady with bluey-whitish hair stepped out and looked around. "Sylia!!!!!!!!" "Linna, Nene!!!" Sylia said as she drew two of her Knight Sabers into an embrace. "But where's Priss?" Leon said, stepping out of the helicopter after Mackie and Nigel. "Isn't she with you?" Nene said sadly. "Didn't she make it?" Leon didn't answer as he walk across the beach. "As you can tell we don't know," Sylia said, shaking her head, "He's been drinking himself to sleep every night since you left. He really had it in for her." "And we lost her." Linna said quietly. "We blew it."
Priss had been out in that desert for a long time, 'It's no point trying to stay alive now,' she thought 'Goodbye everyone' "Goodbye" She said strongly. The wind picked up behind her as she lay on the hot desert sand. "We would say goodbye but we would like you to stick around a little longer," sounded a voice that sounded strangely familiar to her, "Only we would like you to give us that world tour, you know the one you promised us?" 'The guys,' she thought, 'They've found me.'
-About a week later-
She floated in an atmosphere of blackness, going on red, blue, green, and then white. Pictures flew past her field of vision, The stadium, the explosion that blew it to pieces, the jars of Akira's organs behind Tetsuo, Tetsuo's arm turning cybernetic, Kaneda trying to fight him, the light that captured her, and one last picture of Tetsuo's face before he blew up the stadium. She opened her eyes and she saw a fuzzy picture, she blinked and her vision cleared and she saw some people: the rest of Sekiria, Kaneda, and Kay. She tried to sit up but Kaneda pushed her down. "you need rest." He said. "What happened?" She asked curiously. "Well we checked up all of the GENOM files on the Knight Sabers and found out that our lead singer was had disappeared from orbit around the umbrella to the Chinese Gobi desert." Maxon began. "Us being who we were decided that we needed to get our lead singer back, cause we wanted the tour she promised us." "You destroyed Galatea, Priss" Jaid said concerned of her, "You know that boomer god that was trying to take over the world?" "." Was the answer from Priss. "I thought I was dead" "That was our first thought as we brought you here." Fox said. "Where is here?" "America" Kay said as she looked at Priss with a strange expression. "Mine and Kaneda's house." Priss looked thoughtful. "Are you all right Priss?" Maxon asked. Priss nodded absently trying to piece things together. "How did you find out that I was a Knight Saber?" she asked. Looking at them. "Well you know that girl that was outside the studio?" Maxon said, "She said that she knew that you were a Knight Saber." "Oh." Priss said, thinking it over. "How long have I been here?" "Um. We found you about a week ago, but you were out in the desert for about three days." "A week?"
"I wish Priss was here." Nene said sadly. "If she was alive how would she get back?" Sylia answered. "Maybe.... Maybe someone has rescued her." Linna said from behind Nene. 'You know it's just typical,' Leon thought, 'I get what I want and then I lose it again, you can't hold onto the things you want forever, I guess this is just for the best. Goodbye Priss.'
"Look I have to get back to Tokyo." "You need your rest Priss." "But I have to go back Kaneda." "You need your rest." Kaneda said calmly as Priss struggled to get out of bed as Kaneda held her down. "Look just stay for a couple more days." "Ok but then I have to go."
"Leon are you alright?" Nene asked timidly as Leon stood with a gun in hand at the shooting range of the new ADP head quarters. "What does it look like?" He retorted. "OK then." Nene said concerned of the guy she considered an older brother.
"I don't see why she can't go back to Tokyo now Kaneda." Kay said. "She needs to have her rest Kay." Kaneda answered his wife. "She saved the world and you've seen the injuries she has. And remember how she got shot last year by the leader of the clowns? She hasn't fully healed from that either." "What I'm saying Kaneda, is that she sounds like she really needs to get back to Tokyo to see the rest of the Knight Sabers. You know her friends?" "Yes I know Kay, but she go back just yet, not now anyway. She can't go back, cause she needs to be looked after, we can't let her do anything stupid. You know that GENOM's after her head. She's like a daughter to me Kay. Tetsuo was like a son to me, but then he was killed by that GENOM idiot, running tests on him." "Priss almost killed, or have you forgotten that Tetsuo tried to take over the world when he found out that Akira was never alive. He destroyed an entire Olympic stadium by himself." "Which is why I can't let her do anything stupid."
Nene sat down in front of the computer, she was going to try and find out where Priss was. 'She's alive,' Nene thought, as she logged on, 'I know it.'
-2 and a ½ hours later-
"Come on I know you're in there somewhere." Nene said trying her hardest to find her on the GENOM computer network. "You're in there somewhere Priss I know it!!!" CRASH Was short for Nene throwing the computer out the window. "Whoops."
Sylia had been watching Nigel work on the new Moto Slave she had asked him to build just like the one that Priss had taken to destroy Galatea. Although she new that Priss was gone, she had still asked Nigel to build it, either in case Priss was alive or as a memory of Priss. 'Nene is practically killing her self, she thinks it's her fault Priss is lost.' Sylia thought with a sigh. 'Linna has refused to eat, and Leon. Leon has hardly even talked to anybody, he like Linna has refused to eat. Leon really loved Priss, and Priss probably loved him too. Didn't Nene and Linna find them making out behind the satellite dish on the top of Nene's apartment building. I'm pretty sure Priss wouldn't kiss just anyone, willingly that is.' "Poor Priss." She whispered.
Galatea looked out to the city from the top of GENOM tower. "She's been found" She whispered quietly. "When they bring her to Tokyo I shall get revenge." She stood up and walked over to the edge of the building and looked down. Mason was ho she had left him she dropped down to him and floated in mid air. "Mason," She spoke, "I need you to do something for me." "What is it Galatea?" Mason answered. "Get me the Knight Sabers in Tokyo, Kill them for me. I will get Priss myself. I failed before, I shall not fail again." "Yes Galatea." Mason answered, "I shall not fall you."
As Priss walked along beside Jaid and Maxon. She couldn't help but to laugh along at the jokes they were making. Kaneda had got the boys to take her for walks every afternoon to give her exercise. Jaid and Maxon had taken to going with her to make sure she didn't get into too much trouble. But unfortunately trouble was around the next corner. As they walk past the alleyway, some guys grabbed them, and knocked them out. As Priss vision cleared, she saw that her, Maxon, and Jaid were all lying in an alleyway, there were about several guys two each for her band mates and three for her all with a weapon. "The girl's waking up." One of the guys said. "Who do you suppose she is speed?" Another one said. "Who are you?" the third guy said. Priss didn't answer. A pair of dirty hands grabbed her shoulders. "I said who are?" Again Priss didn't answer. "Answer me you stupid girl." "Looked in the mirror lately?" Priss answered. The guy threw her against the wall, and got his gun out. "You'll pay for that one lady." He yelled as the rest of the guys came over. Speed was about to shoot her when a something hit the back of his head and knocked him out. Jaid had thrown a piece of loose concrete at him. Quickly Priss grabbed the gun from a guy near her while Jaid grabbed the one Speed had dropped. Six shots rang out and lighted the alleyway. Priss checked on Maxon. "He's waking up." She said. "There you are." Came Kaneda's voice from behind them. "What happened?"
