Story Notes

I mentioned in Chapter 5 that the next chapter would contain a few bombshells. I was not kidding when I said that. What Keitaro and Motoko learn from Kaolla Su would be life changing for the two of them. I thought that it was time to throw a few twists into the story that I feel will make this story even better then it already is. I bet that you, the reader, will never have seen them coming.

Kanako led us to the base of operations for the resistance against West Hinata. The building they used was the Hinata Sou. I can only guess how they were allowed to use this building as their base of operations. Hell, it was just an all girl dorm in my dimension and it was owned by my family. I wonder how my other self fits into this picture. I wonder how the rest of my other self's family fits into all of this. I have been in this dimension for a while and still I can't make any sense of this madness. I had so many questions and I haven't got one straight answer. I do know one thing though, that I seem to have quite of few enemies who want me for some purpose. I don't know what it is but since it seems that the west side is full of sadistic maniacs, it can't be anything good.

"Ok go through this door and Kaolla Su will meet with the two of you."

We walked through the door not knowing what to expect. When we finally saw Kaolla Su there was something different about her. She wasn't the energetic out of control little girl that I remember her as.

"Hello Keitaro and Motoko. It is a pleasure that I can finally see you two face to face. I know you have a lot of questions and I will answer them to the best of my ability."

"Why was this building turned into a base of operations? In my dimension it was an all girl dorm."

"This building used to be an inn but when the war started, we decided that this was the best place to hold operations since it was secluded and the large hill it sat on made it harder for enemies to sneak in. I did say it made it harder for our enemies but it wasn't impossible for them to attack."

"I know this first hand. You probably want to know why I move using this mechanical chair instead of walking around. I was usually careful about walking around outside and I got sloppy. I got Haruka killed and I was paralyzed from the waist down by an assassin's bullet. She saved me and I would have been dead had it not been for her."

"You shouldn't blame yourself for that, Kaolla."

That sounded like Haruka's voice but how is that even possible. She just said that she was dead but I can hear her voice. I hope I am not losing it now.

"When she was alive she was like my mentor and advisor when I needed help with things in my life. I imprinted her memory and personality into the computer mainframe. So in the sense it is Haruka since this is her memory and personality talking to me as well as you. She can form a hologram of herself to talk to since it makes you look insane talking to yourself all of the time. She controls the automated security system and basically all of the machines in this building and keeps watch over the base during the night when we are all asleep."

"You are perfectly fine, Keitaro."

"Where are you, Aunt Haruka?"

Suddenly a gun popped out of a wall and shot a bullet near Keitaro's feet.

"Oh shit, what the fuck was that for?"

"I told you a thousand times, the name's Haruka, you idiot."

Most everything in this world was different from my dimension but I guess some things just never seem to change.

"Your sister, Kanako is the head of security and my personal bodyguard since the incident that left me like this."

"Hey Su, are these the people you were talking about?"

"Yes Sara, this is Keitaro and Motoko. Sara is my personal assistant and is a big help. It has become harder to work around here when you can't walk around and she helps me with my work."

"Well, it is a pleasure to meet you two. My name is Sara."

I was very shocked when I saw Sara. The Sara of my dimension is a spoiled bratty kid. The Sara of this dimension is well polite and nice to be around. I wish this Sara was from my dimension.

"I heard we were important to you. Something about an immortality gene and.."

"Well, I will explain that to you two. The first people who were born on this earth had the immortality gene but it seem that gene died out early on in mankind's history. I discovered that the gene was not gone from the human race but simply dormant. I discovered this when I met you two or at least my Keitaro and Motoko. It wasn't completely active since they still grew older but couldn't be harmed by most things. When they grew to a certain age, the gene would activate and you would become immortal. We had finally finished working on it. I was able to prove that it worked but my work got leaked to Tsuroko by a spy working for her who somehow slipped in and stole my research. I am not sure but she may have used that research but I have no information to suggest that she used this in any way."

"How were you able to discover that it worked without testing it on someone?"

"I will prove to you that it worked. How old do you think I am?"

"Well, I would guess maybe 14."

"Nope, I am 25 years old, Keitaro. The gene was implanted when I was 14 years old. I haven't aged a day since then but I didn't have this ability until after I was paralyzed by one of Tsuroko's agents."

I never really knew how old Su was. Since she had the ability to transform into an adult and then back into a child made it hard to tell.

"My work did not only consist of the immortality gene but I was working on the ability to clone human beings and I finished this work and I learned how to successfully clone a human."

"I don't understand how this relates to us."

"We were afraid that if Keitaro and Motoko were killed then we would have no chance of ending this war so we decided that we would preserve DNA of Keitaro and Motoko and if they were found to be killed then we would clone them both and send them into an parallel dimension that would keep them safe until it was time to bring them back. You, Keitaro and Motoko are the clones that I created and sent into a parallel dimension to keep safe."

I was completely shocked. I was a clone but how could this be? I need to know the truth and I wanted it now.

I was at a lost for words. A clone? This makes no sense at all. I have memories that dictate how my life as a swords woman went and I was never told any of this.

"Su, why don't we remember this past life if what you say is true?"

"Think about it for a moment. You both don't recall much of anything but from your past until you moved to Hinata Sou. The memories of the time spent at Hinata Sou really happened. You weren't able to recall your past life but subconsciously you could remember some things from time to time. Motoko, do you recall feeling as if you were deeply in love with Keitaro? How do you think that you were able to make secret arts master so early in life? You were able to do this because you attained the highest rank of your school at the time the DNA was extracted from you and the knowledge came back to you much quicker the second time around.

"Yes but I thought it was brought on by a cold and not a real feeling of affection towards Keitaro and I thought I was just gifted in the way of the sword." How does she know all this! Is it really true what she says about me being a clone?

"Your subconscious told you to seek out the Hinata Sou because in your past lives this was a safe place and your instinct told you this as well even though you probably didn't know why because the memories of your past life would surface from time to time. I wasn't worried about that happening because you would quickly dismiss the thoughts and not try to act on them in any way. Now Keitaro do you recall a promise you made that you will get into Tokyo U?"

"Yes I did make a promise to someone that I would get into Tokyo U? Do you have feelings for a Naru Narusewega even though she appears to not like you at all?" How does she know this? Is this girl telling me the truth?

"Tsuroko is using Tokyo U as a base of operations against us and your past self promised Motoko that you would break into Tsuroko's base and defeat her. You were both avid supporters of Tsuroko and were high ranking military soldiers but you both became disillusioned and turned on Tsuroko and decided to join up with my sister's government As for your feelings for Naru, lets say you had a one way relationship if you know what I mean."

"Where there any other people that you cloned besides the three of us?"

"I have a list of the people I have cloned and you can take a look at it."

I took the list from Su and started to read the list of names and this is what it said. . .

Motoko Aoyama former general W Hinata army/secret agent E Hinata Gov

Keitaro Urashima former Lt. Commander W Hinata army/secret agent E Hinata Gov

Kaolla Su chief science and weapons officer E Hinata Gov

Shinobu Maehara a.k.a. Eagle Eyes Spy/Assassin E Hinata Gov

Naru Narusewega freelance spy/secret agent currently hired by E Hinata Gov

Kentaro Sakata freelance spy/secret agent currently hired by E Hinata Gov

Mutsumi Otohime Chief engineer Okinawa Island inventor of the air ship allied with E Hinata

"Mutsumi perfected the invention of a lifetime. It is called an air ship. A ship that can be used like a boat and fly like a plane. It was quite unique and it caught my eye when one of them flew over East Hinata. I contacted her and became good friends. You, Keitaro in your past life and Mutsumi were close but were not romantically involved. Naru and Kentaro are romantically involved and are practically inseparable. They were the ones who flew the airship that I saw fly over East Hinata and our government hired them to help us fight the war that has been going on for quite some time now. Your clones that have been living in a parallel dimension to our own share many of the personalities traits and also carry memories of their past life that surface from time to time. You probably have witness this happen in the past and you have experienced this yourself."

"I will contact Kentaro and Naru and ask for their assistance. They won't allow you to pilot their airship so they will come with you and fly their ship and the one that you will be using. Don't worry about those two. They are quite capable of handling themselves out in the field. I will ask Mutsumi for another airship for you two. Don't worry about training yourselves. You both in your past lives were excellent pilots. The ability to fly the airship will come back to you."

"When the preparations are set we will inform you of the plan of attack. In the meantime, we will show you to your room and you can access the computer and delve into a variety of topics. The history of this place will be quite informative for the two of you."

We didn't know what to say or think anymore. We both had figured out that we were just transported to an alternate dimension and needed to go home. I didn't know if I have left my home or returned to my home now. We just didn't know what to do anymore. Right now, I need to know what I can do to end this war.

There were many things that happened in our lives that I couldn't make sense of. Memories that we had that no one else can remember. Feelings that have no basis in our memories. We were just scared and confused because our lives were taking a drastically different shape and coping with the changes have been difficult for the both of us.

As I spent time with Motoko I had started having the feeling that I loved her deeply but I didn't know why I felt this way. Motoko told me that she felt the same way about me but didn't know what to make of it all. She started to feel comfortable being around me and she didn't know why. Before we took this trip, she couldn't stand being around me and felt that I was a helpless, worthless, perverted man with no redeeming qualities but now has feelings of love that she can't explain. Memories came to her that she can't make sense of. Feelings that don't have a basis in the memories she had up until the start of this journey. As we made the journey of a lifetime, it seemed that the life I left started to fade from memory and this past life started to come back..

I felt tougher and stronger and seemed that I had incredible fighting skills but back there I was a weak helpless man but here I started to feel stronger and it scared me. Motoko didn't feel much different. I guess that her life followed a similar path up until the point of traveling to this dimension. For now, we will rest. I would like to do some research since the history of this place should be quite interesting.

Author Notes: I said this will contain bombshells and I wasn't kidding now was I? The next chapter will be a transitional chapter in which Keitaro and Motoko will learn more about the past history of this Hinata Hot Springs and how everything became what it is today. For a sneak peek into the future. I will tell you this. There will be several fights that will occur between our heroes and the enemy. The final enemy they will face will NOT be Tsuroko. Who this all powerful enemy they will face is well it will be someone you never ever expected. I will just say that this story is going to heat up fast so sit down buckle up and hang on because it is going to be one bumpy ride.
