***FLASHBACK****
"Mr. Kai, test subject Ala is here."
"Excellent, how is he coming along?"
"It's taken longer than expected, but it's finally a success."
"Was all my money supporting your research worth it?"
"Yes sir," The eight year old boy known as Ala walked in with a dazed look on his face, "The personality you requested has been implanted. Ala is completely oblivious of the new personality he has been given."
"What about the knowledge barrier?"
"The personality WE have control of will have near complete control of Ala. He can come 'out' so to speak when he desires to and he will have all the knowledge we send him."
"And Ala will have no knowledge of the other's knowledge?"
"Yes, Sir."
"We now have the perfect spy. He can't tell our enemies anything because he will not know anything."
"It was done as you requested sir, but I wonder, why this boy?"
"One day he may be of use to us."
"Why is that Mr. Kai?"
"He is related to Duo Maxwell."
"What does that have to do with Project G-X?"
"It has no significance right now but he was the perfect subject AND he may prove useful one day. The 'X' plans on wiping out the pilots as well because they are a contributing factor. I always make sure to have a backup to my backup. That's how I will catch those blasted G-Alloids and exterminate them all."
"Excellent idea, Sir! How many are left, Sir?"
"Only six, but I know of the location of the sixth one and soon he will die."
"Let's change his name."
"There was a Japanese man that passed through Ankara a few days ago named Aka."
"Aka.yes, that's a perfect name."
END FLASHBACK
It was getting dark as the group started back to Kamui's house to gather their stuff. Trio looked back once and saw two black vehicles following them. She frowned but didn't mention them. It would take a little while to walk back to Kamui's so she figured it might be just they were going the same way.
As they reached the park near Kamui's house Trio noticed the vehicles had stopped and five men climbed out of each. They were dressed in black uniforms and Trio was startled to notice (besides the fact that no one else had noticed the men) that they were all carrying pistols. Fear rose in her throat.
"We're in trouble guys," She whispered.
Kamui glanced back and started. "It's them. It's the guys who blew up the train when I was only a kid. They're after us."
Aka glanced back and stopped for a second while the others hurried ahead. Trio frowned at him and almost screamed when a sick grin crossed his face and he nodded to the men across the street.
"Run," She whispered.
"Where?" Shinna whispered back.
"That park in front of us has quite a few trees in it," Kamui replied, "if we can get into there we can hide amongst the trees and meet back at the house."
The kids bolted for the park as Nekura turned back. At first he frowned, "Drats," then smiled, "a treasure hunt eh?" Nekura raced after the kids with the men in suits behind him.
Trio was gasping as she entered the trees. Trey went to the left, Shinna to the right and Trio followed Kamui. Trio could barely keep up and was falling farther behind as they ran around the circumference of the park trees. She could hear crashing branches from the bushes interlaced between the trees as the men pursued her.
It seemed like they ran for an eternity though it was less than a minute. Trio tripped over a branch as a hand grasped her shirt collar. Shrieking as she fell she felt a hand touch her butt. As she was falling she flipped herself over and saw Nekura's concentrated face as he pulled her remote close to his chest.
Trio hit the ground with a thud and Nekura landed on top of her, pinning her arms and legs down. He grinned fiercely.
"Your time is up," he whispered as he lifted the cover of the 'on/off' button and pushed it.
Trio's sight suddenly exploded into darkness and her chest felt like it had been shot with arrows. Her breathing suddenly became labored and her arms refused to even TRY to struggle.
"Ne.ku...ra." Trio gasped as her eyes closed and she quit breathing. Nekura smiled and started to slip the remote into his pocket when a rock suddenly came flying from in front of him, knocking the remote from his hand. Before he could get up to retrieve it Kamui had it and was standing behind him.
"Now what will you do?" Nekura asked. "You cannot activate it. She is under our control now. Hand over the remote like a good boy, Kamui."
"I'll NEVER do that!" Kamui snapped at Nekura, who was picking the limp girl up.
"I guess it does not matter," Nekura shrugged as he lifted Trio onto his shoulder. "I would suggest that you leave immediately if you don't want to get caught."
"Since when have you cared about us?" Kamui spat.
Nekura shrugged, "Call it a conscience or maybe it's because since I met Trio she's protected me from that crazy Shinna or maybe it's because I'm sort of related to her and I feel like I owe her a favor. Either way, it's just a suggestion you run. If you don't take it and they catch you," Nekura shrugged and almost stormed right into the surprised Kamui. A few of the men started to appear from a distance away and Kamui didn't have a chance to try and help Trio as he ran for his life.
"Master!" The men said as they reached Nekura and Trio. "Congratulations on your catch! Should we pursue the others?"
"Why bother?" Nekura shrugged as he handed Trio to one of the indiscrete men. "They can't run far. I've reported that they are heading for L3 and if you can't find them by that follow the device on Trio's remote."
"Device, Master?"
"There's a tracking device installed in the remote as it is. Now get her to Mr. Nanzaki immediately. There has been enough interferences in his plan already."
"Yes, Master," The men said as they contacted the other agents and headed back to the cars, the now depressed Aka following behind.
"Why did you do that, Nekura?" He whispered. "Why did you even tell me that?"
'I told you what I did. You should know is all.'
"You reactivated her remote. Now Kai will have to save her. How could you do such a thing?"
'I was created as a spy, Aka, you know that. Turning her over to them was my job and that's that. Don't whine about it.'
"Why am I going with them?"
'Where else are you going to go? I'm absolutely sure Kamui would kill us if we went back to his house and the only thing to do is go back to school and see what happens from there.'
"What about you?"
'Kai is going to give you fare to go back to the Sanc kingdom and you'll attend school. As for me, he has no use for me. We'll get the fare and leave. He promised I could live.'
"Why would he let you live?"
'Kai is unpredictable. Besides that, he thinks with me around, he might be able to snag the others G-Alloids.'
"They're going to ask what happened to Trio y'know."
'Tell them that "X" got Trio and the others should have went to L3. And honestly I'm tired of being the bad guy, Aka.'
"That's good, I guess," Aka mumbled under his breath as he squeezed between two men in the front seat.
"What is good, Master?" The driver asked as the drove off.
"Nothing," Aka replied as he glanced out of the window and saw Shinna bawling into Trey's shirt as the cars turned the corner. A tear slipped down Aka's cheek as he cried himself to sleep, falling onto the passenger next to him. The man stroked Aka's hair once then turned his attention to the road.
"Mr. Kai, test subject Ala is here."
