Trio awoke to a searing pain in her wings. She screamed and heard laughter
erupt from the other side of the room near the door. Her hands, handcuffed
to the bars in front of her jerked.
"Good morning, Trio." Kai remarked, walking into the room. "Today I've got a special treat for you. It seems that good-for-nothing son of mine has joined your side. He's worthless even as a son now so I've decided to get rid of him."
"NO!" Trio screamed. "Leave him alone!"
"Anyone that gets in my way will die, you're very much aware of that." Trio was crying as quietly as she could but Kai managed to overhear her. "And you'll get to witness it."
A large screen TV was wheeled by the Doctor in front of the large machine that was the source of her destruction and Trio, though still severely injured, turned to look at it. The TV turned on and immediately Trio saw a bunch of men in dark suits approaching Shiro in the school hallway.
*****(Change of perspective)***** Shiro saw the men in dark suits walking toward him and started running until one spoke out after him.
"Master Shiro, wait. We want to show you something."
"What could you want to show me that would make me want to stay and talk to you?"
"Trio."
Shiro started and turned back, "Fine, you got my attention, show me."
The leading man pulled out a small video camera and opened the screen for Shiro to see. He pushed the play button and handed it to the teenage boy.
Shiro almost threw up. He saw his father prodding Trio with the cattle prod and saw him jab her with needles, cutting her, making her cry out and making her body spasm. He watched it for about a minute before he slammed the screen shut and threw it back into the man's hands.
"What was the point of showing me that?!" He demanded.
"If you want to see her alive once more your father will let you."
"And if I won't come with you?"
"We have orders to exterminate you, Master Shiro."
Inside, Shiro was appalled they would say that so bluntly. His mind swarm and it took a second for him to get his thoughts in order. If he didn't find a way to stall them he would die.
Shiro raised an eyebrow, "In public?"
"Anywhere we can." The man pulled out a gun, "and this is as good a place as any."
"It would be stupid to do it here, you should know that."
"What are you suggesting?"
"There's a forest next to the school," Shiro gestured, "it would attract less attention to you."
"Lead the way but be warned, I have a gun and I won't hesitate to use it."
Shiro nodded and walked past the men, in actuality heading away from the forest but he hoped the men wouldn't notice. **** Inside his head, the leader was still fighting his conscience. Kai had purposely given him and his men the job of eliminating Shiro because he knew that he had almost raised the boy. Following Shiro with his gun concealed, tears welled in his eyes momentarily before he cleared his head. With the camera recording he knew Trio was watching everything; it was for this reason he allowed Shiro to stall, making Trio think he was truly going to try and kill him. Maybe then she'd break free of the machine's control and come back to Master Shiro.
So far the plan was working. *****
Shiro led them down the long halls, passing a lot of classrooms. Each one had their door open and he cast a glance in the room. None of them contained any of the G-Alloids.
As they were passing the arts part of the hall Shiro was beginning to lose hope.
Passing the choir room, he glanced in and saw Daemon and Alex. They looked up and saw him slow down. Daemon frowned and Alex cocked his head. Shiro gave them the most worried and pathetic look he could give before nodding behind himself and walked on.
"Would anyone like to take this equipment to the auditorium?" The teacher, who was Mr. Tanaka that day (the choir teacher was sick and Ken didn't have a class that hour) asked when he saw the worried look on the G-Alloids' faces.
"We would, Tanaka-Sensei," Daemon offered.
"Daemon-san and Alex-san? All right, go quickly." Daemon and Alex grabbed the mikes and stands and rushed out of the room, and out the door.
The sat the equipment in the boy's bathroom and ran outside. They soon spotted the men being led by Shiro. The man who was recording didn't see the boys following.
Shiro stopped beneath a tree and looked behind the men. He couldn't see the boys and his heart sank. The leader glanced at the camera.
"It will be done," He said before turning back to Shiro and firing at him. It struck his stomach and Shiro sank to the ground.
"NO!" Trio screamed as hard and as loud as she could. She felt a familiar surge of power flow through her veins as she yanked as hard as she could on the restraints; the ones on her back and legs gave way, leaving only her hands attached to the table.
"Trio stop!" Kai commanded and Trio's regained control faltered as she collapsed on the table.
"Good morning, Trio." Kai remarked, walking into the room. "Today I've got a special treat for you. It seems that good-for-nothing son of mine has joined your side. He's worthless even as a son now so I've decided to get rid of him."
