Light Your Face With A Smile

Chapter 9

Let

Strange isn't it? How everything could fall together so perfectly in one day? All the answers to your questions lying before you at your feet. How convenient...

Everyone was very surprised by the news on MOMO's safety. It surprised them more as who had started it all. Jr., on the other hand, wasn't ok with it. He narrowed his eyes at the figure before him as he began to walk forward. He stopped in front of said figure and poked him in the chest, his expression revealing a mix of anger and confusion.

"I always thought I couldn't trust you old man." Jr. paused "Why didn't you tell us!? What were you thinking!?"

Ziggy looked down at Jr., his face showing no expression. His eyes gazing fiercely into Jr.'s before swatting the boy's hand away.

"I am sorry for the inconvenience, but I felt I had to help in some way." Ziggy said as Shion clasped her hands together.

"...Ziggy, how could you do that to all those people!? I didn't think you'd be capable of torturing all those people! How did you know? KOS-MOS? What did you have to do in all this!?" Shion expressed as KOS-MOS only starred.

Out of all people, ZIGGY??

"Shion, as I had said before..." Ziggy closed his eyes. "It's all about focusing on the mission...focus on numbers and strategies, you can't lose sight of your target with emotions."

"Bull." Jr. cut in as Ziggy went to look at Jr. once again.

"Mission?" chaos said silently as KOS-MOS began to speak.

"I was assigned orders from HQ to assist Ziggurat 8 in his mission on rescuing the girl, also known as MOMO." KOS-MOS explained as Shion's eye's grew wide.

"HQ? How did they know about this!?" Shion questioned as chaos closed his eyes.

He couldn't help at not saying anything on the situation. He couldn't let Shion know that he himself knew of what Ziggy was up to. Besides that...

He was to busy starring at the red-eyed android. It had been awhile since he'd seen KOS-MOS. She looked so much different from the last he saw her. She no longer wore a visor on her head. Her body looked transparent, seeing as how she must have gotten new parts. Everything about her seemed to change...accept her eyes and her voice. Her ruby red eyes starred blankly at the scene before her as she talked in her monotone voice.

Memories came flooding back to him on few occasions he would visit her while she slept. He also remembered watching her lovingly, the only look he would only have around her presence. Without anyone knowing, she held a special place in his heart.

Even though everyone thought she was supposed to be made of mechanical parts, he knew that somewhere inside her, she had a spark of emotions waiting to be released.

"I knew just the three of you alone couldn't accomplish the mission."

And chaos's thought's were cut off by Ziggy chatting again...

"That still doesn't explain to us why you hurt all those people!" Jr. yelled as he glared at the man who was taller then him.

"You are one to talk Jr., having demolished at least half of the employees in that building." Ziggy pointed out calmly as Jr.'s eyes grew wide. How was he for certain that it was him? Jr. bowed his head down in shame. "As for me, those reasons I will keep to myself and in later time reveal...but for now, my focus is on MOMO's condition. I didn't come here to argue or to make anyone upset...which it seems I have done..." Ziggy paused as he looked over to the uneasy expressions he was receiving from his old comrades. chaos decided to enter the discussion again, for he had been quiet, due to the fact he was starring at KOS-MOS most of the time.

"No doubt KOS-MOS had apart in that attack..." Shion thought.

"We are aware of some of the conditions MOMO must be facing. It is a wise choice to get her help as soon as possible, or else..." chaos trailed of as Jr. turned around to look at the silver haired male.

"Exactly...We can't be wasting time here on small talk, but, this isn't the only reason I came here." Ziggy paused once again as Shion looked puzzled.

"What else could there be?"

"You got big trouble Shion!" Allen cut in a tad to cheerful as Shion looked over at him.

"You all must know that Juli Mizarhi is looking for all of you?" Ziggy questioned as the three nodded. "She suspects all of you to be here."

"What!?"

"They could be here any day now, any second, I suggest you all come with me, for I know a safer place to keep all of you covered. She doesn't know that I was in on the plan at the side, so I will be hopefully, least expected, but of course, there's always the chance..." Ziggy said as chaos agreed.

"Understandable..." chaos thoughtfully said. "We should get to it then..."

"Hmm..." Shion muttered, still uneasy by the sudden situation. It slightly hurt her to see Ziggy use them as a part of his plan...She wish that at least they had told them of his plans. She turned to look at her brother, who only smiled softly at her.

"Don't worry Shion, go on, you've been here enough." Jin said while motioning for her to leave. She put her hands on her hips and sighed.

"What? Was I that much of a trouble?"

"No! No! It's not that, just the fact that your leaving soon would be for the better, I wouldn't like to see my house wrecked over your problems..." Jin playfully said as Shion walked over to him and hit him in the arm. She then smiled and gave him a hug.

"I'll be back no doubt." She said as Jin hugged her back.

"Yes..."

"You'll be ok here? When or if Juli's friends get here?" chaos questioned as Jin released himself from the hug and nodded.

"Do not worry about me, I'll hold the fort down, just be careful...and from time to time, let me know that everything's ok." Jin directed the last comment at Shion who only shrugged.

"Sure will, for now...I guess we should go." Shion answered as Ziggy nodded.

"Yup." Allen cut in again as Shion could only scold at him.

"Don't talk you! We have enough to chat about. Seeing you here answers enough of my questions. You were probably in on the whole plan to!" Shion narrowed her eyes as Allen slinked back into a corner, in fear of her rage.

"Right." Ziggy looked on at the amusing spectacle forming. "We should leave quickly, the sooner the better. Jr..." Ziggy said, looking down at him. The red head had been quite silent since Ziggy's comment on the incident. He had been in deep thought about it...everything had come so quickly in the few hours. He had just woken up and this was how he was greeted...

Oh, how you could receive so much information in such short hours...

Ziggy did have a point though...they were going to have to leave as soon as possible. The better...Ziggy knew where MOMO was...and at this point, he was relieved, but at the same time, angry at the cyborg. It burned him to know that Ziggy saved her and he couldn't. Instead, he only caused more problems...Jr. turned around and walked away. Not answering Ziggy's calls to him. chaos frowned at this and looked over to Ziggy.

"He just woke up a few hours ago...I can see how hard it must be for him to take all the information in on such short notice...it's like we didn't even give him a chance to breath when he woke up..." chaos explained to Ziggy, feeling suddenly guilty.

"Understood...Give him more time...I'll explain more on the way...we'll be waiting outside for you all." With that, Ziggy headed out the door with KOS-MOS, leaving Allen with a glaring Shion. She narrowed her eyes and left to get a few things from the back room. Allen only slumped his shoulders at this and sighed, having chaos smile softly at him. He knew that Allen had some feelings for Shion, to bad he was to much of an ass to show it...

Shion had walked past Jr.'s room...but stopped. She peered in to see Jr. dressed in his red and black sweater with his blue and brown pants.

"Need anything?" Shion whispered as Jr. looked over to her and shook his head.

"Nothing..." He whispered back as he went to put his holsters on. He was a fast dresser.

"I'm sorry..."

"Huh?" Jr. gave her a questioning look.

"It's not fair to you really...you haven't got much time to rest...and were already pushing you into something without your opinion..."

"It's ok..." He stopped her. "I'm just glad that MOMO didn't fall into the wrong hands...although, I don't really trust the cyborg...but I need to see her..." Shion only nodded as he expressed his thoughts. Mumbling a few more things, Shion left the room to let him do his own business.

They all sat in an unusual jeep. The outside a black paint job, nicely done too. The interior had a comfortable leather seating and a few gizmos in the front. A small directional pad sat between the driver and passenger's seat.

Allen was in the driver's seat as Ziggy sat upfront in the passenger's seat. Shion and KOS-MOS sat together as chaos and Jr. sat in the back. Shion was curious as to know where Ziggy was taken them. They all had to run out of the house, for KOS-MOS- detected their enemies 40 miles away from their last location. They're heading to Jin's house...Shion closed her eyes, wondering if her brother would be ok as he was alone in the wooden yet cozy house.

"You know where your going Allen?" Ziggy asked, breaking the silence as Allen only nodded, looking ahead of him.

"Yea, I think I should be fine." Allen responded as Ziggy looked over his shoulder and back to starring in front of him.

"Were heading to a warehouse near the old Ziggurat Industries." Ziggy began as Shion looked over to KOS-MOS, who had hardly, to her surprise, said a thing when she first saw them. KOS-MOS, who seemed to look in a daze, was checking her functions...they always seemed to malfunction whenever she was near the silver haired male. She watched as the small screen in her eyes appeared, a video recording showing chaos looking at her curiously. It kept replaying over and over, and it bothered her.

"Shion?"

"Yes?"

"When we have reached our location, could you please check my sensors...I seem to be having a malfunction."

"Oh? You seem to be fine...but, alright. It's a good idea, seeing how SOMEONE can't take care of her for a few days." Shion said as Allen only chuckled nervously.

Chaos could only smile at this...he also noticed that her sensors would indeed malfunction around him. He hadn't said anything though, hoping and knowing that it was KOS-MOS's other side, perhaps, causing the small fuss. If only he could reach out to her.

"KOS-MOS's equipment has been stored at the warehouse, so it should be easier for you to check up on her. We'll probably be staying there for awhile...we need to do repairs on MOMO as soon as possible. Do you think you could help Shion?" Ziggy said.

"I'll do my best...I may know a few things about restoring hardware...but I don't get to interact with a body of a 100-series much..." Shion trailed off and bit her lip. She shouldn't have said that last part...Jr. only sighed and began to speak.

"What is MOMO's condition?" Jr. questioned, trying to avoid Shion's last part of the sentence.

"For what we know so far..." Ziggy was interrupted.

"We? Who else knows about this?" Shion quizzed as Ziggy shifted in his seat. As they all talked, he could still sense the uneasiness the three contained in their voices. Due to the fact that he and KOS-MOS had slaughtered so many.

"The president of Vector Industries is the one who entrusted me with this mission, as well as KOS-MOS, he has sent us a few of his members to help. He is also the only one knowing of our new location where we all shall be staying. We can't have too many people knowing where we are, no matter how much we trust them." Ziggy explained. Shion widened her eyes.

"President Wilhem is in this?" She thought, getting a better understanding on how KOS-MOS acted apart in the mission. He must have given the order to help Ziggy out. She would only listen to Vector employees...

"Easy for you to say..." Jr. muttered as he crossed his arms. He was in a really bad mood...the only thing that let him suppress his anger was the fact he would finally see MOMO again...but under bad conditions. She was hurt, and he couldn't help her. My...how life sucked ( lol.).

"Now...as for MOMO's condition...it's very disheartening to hear...but some of her functions have given out. She can't hear and she's completely stiff. I'm not sure about the rest of the condition's...but I don't know if she's alive...although, she's hanging on thin thread if you know what I mean. Her right eye has stopped functioning as well. There's a lot of repair that needs to be done." Ziggy explained as everyone took the information in.

"We could possibly fix her eye and update her mechanical functions and sensors to get some things back online..." Shion thought aloud.

"Hmmm..." chaos whispered as Jr. looked over to him.

"Wha?"

"Why was MOMO at one of the Contact SubComittee bases when she was originally planned to got to the U.M.N. organization?" chaos questioned as everything grew silent...( ya all probably missed that little fact didn't ya!? I didn't change the location just for anything...)

That was good question...

No one had ever thought of it, but it was true. Jr. and Ziggy took MOMO there themselves and met up with Juli Mizarji at the organization. It also made Shion wonder...

"The Y-data?" Shion paused. "If MOMO was transferred out of the U.M.N. organization building early, is it possible that they didn't extract the data?"

"Maybe there's something on the small disk that contains any information on the Y-Data?" chaos said as Ziggy turned his head around questionably.

"Wait...what disk?" Ziggy asked.

"A woman who worked at the facility, her name was Luca, she gave us a small black disk containing important information on MOMO, it's been really helpful." Shion said as Ziggy turned back around. He closed his eyes and grew silent. The disk...

That disk was supposed to be his. He remembered it so well...

SLASHHHH...

His face full of surprise when he was in that lab...his blade slashing at her stomach...he didn't know it was her...

Luca looked up at him startled...and a sign of guiltiness flashing through her eyes...

He didn't know she actually worked at the facility. He thought she was just a spy for Wilhem to get information on MOMO...

"Ziggy?"

Wilhem didn't really specify as to where she worked, only that she would be helping them complete there mission. She didn't deserve to meet her end. She seemed to be a nice young lady...but then again, she was apart of MOMO's pain, she caused some of it, and it made him mad.

Her lost words of that she was sorry before she fell to the floor...

He had stopped, ordered KOS-MOS to take MOMO's body and get out before they both were caught...

And then he found that aging man in the corner hiding...he decided to use him, not caring if he was bleeding badly or not, along as he was still alive...

He had dragged the man out of the room with him...

"Ziggy?" Shion repeated as he snapped out of his thoughts.

"...Yes?" He said, Shion tilted her head as she leaned forward in her seat.

"How long is this ride going to take?"

"A long while I presume. We have to get far away from the city as soon as possible. Ziggurat Industries wasn't to close to the city...It lies in complete ruins, our location is near there, so we all have to be patient." Ziggy informed everyone. Shion leaned back and looked over at KOS-MOS. A mystery indeed she was. Shion felt some what left out when it came to Kevin planning things for KOS-MOS. There was more to her that she didn't know...

The stars sparkled in the night sky as Shion's sleeping form rested on KOS-MOS's shoulder. chaos was still awake as Jr. kept falling in and out from sleep. Ziggy gazed out at the night sky as Allen kept driving. It was now nearing 2 o' clock. Allen drove the jeep a little slower then usual.

"Jr.?" chaos questioned.

"Hmm?" Jr. proceeded in looking towards his friends. chaos's words repeating over and over In his head on not to lose control of his temper.

"Look." chaos continued as Jr. looked out through chaos's window. His eyes widened a bit as he found himself looking at a wire fence. Behind it, lye a building in ruins.

"That must have been Ziggurat Industries?" Jr. thought aloud as Ziggy nodded to his question.

"Right, we should wake Shion up." Ziggy said as KOS-MOS looked down at Shion. She studied her peaceful features before calling out her name.

"Shion...Shion?" KOS-MOS called emotionlessly as the said girl began to stir. Shion moved around a bit before opening her eyes. She lifted her head up slowly and looked around herself, noticing that she was still in the jeep.

"Huh?" Shion called out, sleepiness evident in her voice.

"We will reach our location in approximately 4.24318760 minutes, it is best for you to stay awake for the time being." KOS-MOS explained as Shion yawned and looked outside, also watching the last of the ruined building go by. After a few minutes, Shion noticed while looking through the window that she didn't seem to find any buildings in the distance, besides trees and what not. It might have been dark, but she had an idea of the surroundings.

"Allen?" The brown haired female paused. "Are you sure were going the right way?"

"Yes." Ziggy answered for him. "Actually, we're here."

Having that said, the car came to a slow stop. The headlights turned off as it's engine quieted down. Ziggy and Allen were the first one's out of the car, followed by KOS-MOS, Shion, Jr. and then chaos. Ziggy began to walk forward as they neared an open field. Shion still felt confused.

"Ziggy? I don't see a building anywhere..." Shion trailed off as chaos stopped walking to look at his surroundings.

"Looks like just a plain old field..." chaos said as Ziggy turned towards them.

"Of course there is no building here."

"But I thought that this was the location?" Jr. eyed Ziggy suspiciously, seeing him knelt down to the ground after walking a short distance.

"It is...we're on top of it." Ziggy replied as confusion seemed to fill the air. Their confusion was answered with a slight trembling underneath their feet. Everyone looked around themselves immediately, then towards Ziggy, seeing as how he looked calm by the whole thing. Ziggy stood up as, low and behold, a secret door open from under the patches of grass. The rumbling then stopped, seeing as how the door had completely opened. Ziggy turned around to face the others, then began to explain.

"This was used as a combat area for Ziggurat Industries. A training warehouse maybe. Vector Industries is the only one knowing of our current location. They have supplied us with all necessities needed to stay here for awhile. A few other people will be joining us as well, they should be here by now waiting inside." Ziggy then paused and looked around. "Come on, let's go inside." Ziggy left without answering Jr. or Shion's questions.

Shion only sighed again as Allen walked next to her. At the sight of him, she gave him a death glare, causing him to squeak a bit and follow Ziggy down the stairs. Shion and Jr. looked at each other before proceeding with the others, leaving chaos to gaze at the stars for a few moments.

His eyes mirrored the sky, seeing how it was cloudless...it's colors mixing with purple and black like a painting. It was almost memorizing. He put both hands behind his hands and smiled at the night sky before walking down the set of stairs himself.

"Hmm..." He paused. "I wonder what surprises await for us now..."
