PART II
Light Your Face With A Smile
Chapter 20
On
…
…
It had been silent throughout the whole ride…
To where exactly?
Not very sure…
Dull throbbing pain in my head…
But…I hear something…other than the death of silence…
…
…
" Owww…." A feminine voice grumbled as she felt herself lying down on a metallic floor. Some of her body parts twitched, testing if everything was indeed intact…which it seemed it was…She fluttered her eyes open slowly, blurry vision…well, mostly a blurry darkness catching her senses. She peered around, noticing more colorful blurs also lying down on the floor with her. She squinted and was about to massage her eyes…
But found her hands cuffed behind her back. Alarmed by this fact, she blinked as much as possible as her eye vision started to produce more vivid images. She lifted herself up with the use of her body weight. Sitting up, she let her fingers feel the instrument used to cuff her hands. Hmmm…they also felt metallic, and heavy too.
" Where am I?" She said, and took another look around…now noticing the bodies of her comrades also on the floor…they all seemed asleep, or unconscious? Her eyes widened as she began to call out their names.
" Allen! Ziggy! MOMO! Mary! Wake up!! Come on!" Shion called again repeatedly as the first one to stir was Ziggy. His back was facing the floor, and it came to her how much in an uncomfortable position the cyborg was in. His hands, along with the metallic cuffs, were also behind his back. He'll probably feel a bit sore now…
Following next was Mary…and because of the noise, Allen began to stir. Shion sighed, thankful that everyone was alright…no one seemed hurt…
Well, not everyone…
…
…
" Ahhh…" Mary began to sit up as did Allen, both of them trying to shake of the upcoming headache.
" Allen, Mary? Are you two alright? Ziggy? How are you feeling?" Shion questioned quickly as they all glanced at her. They all seemed to be going through the process Shion had just went through. The figure formed and everyone's face expressed recognition.
" Chief!" Allen was the first to speak, seeing the panicked look on his face caused the Vector employee to smile. It was always like him to worry about her well being.
" Errr…where are we?" Mary let out, a bit irritated as they all looked around…noticing the pink haired girl still laid asleep on the floor.
" MOMO…"Shion called as Ziggy stood up, having mastered the art ( lol yea) of getting up without his hands, walked over to the realian and knelt down. After a few minutes, Shion narrowed her eyebrows together.
" Ziggy?"
" She just seems to be out of it, give her some time to wake up." Ziggy replied as Shion only nodded, still worried for the realian. Mary also looked over to MOMO, frowning at the girls appearance on the floor.
" Where are we?" Mary repeated again as the others took the time to look around also.
" Are we in an aircraft…seems like it…" Shion whispered as Allen stood up, noticing a small window at the corner. " This seems to be the crate area…or the hanger?"
" Uh…chief?"
" What is it Allen?"
" I don't think we're on Miltia anymore…"
" What!?" Mary's eyes grew wide as Shion stood up and headed over to Allen. She shoved him out of the way with her shoulder, causing him to pout at her. She ignored this and took a look outside…
Or maybe outer space.
" We're we out for that long!?" Shion breathed as Ziggy still stood by MOMO. He seemed to go into a deep thinking process, and concluded on something…
" Hmm…if were not on Miltia anymore…there could be one place we're headed to…"
Everyone looked over to Ziggy as Allen gave a questioning look.
" But…that was surely Juli Mizhari's…little army that ambushed us at the facility…wouldn't they have us killed out by now or…?"
" Ziggy's right…there is one place we all could be heading for…" Shion paused. " And besides, why would they kill us if we can be used to cover up their little schemes we found at the Sub Committee base on Militia…"
" You mean…?" Allen trailed off.
" Yes…we must be heading for Fifth Jerusalem…" Shion finished and sighed…
That must mean the Sub Committee would like to have a word with them…privately…
…
…
I hate this…
I hate suffering…
What to do?
I saw him…
In the mirror…
No…
I'm not like him…
I can feel it…
He wants her badly…
Where is she…
You better stay away…
Oh…but contraire…you should be staying away from my peche, Rubedo
Shattered pieces of glass…
No…
I'm not like him! I don't want to! STOP!
Hands cradling his head…
I see it again…their in the rain…together…
She left the porch…and it's raining…
I don't want to see this! It's not my business!
Please! STOP GIVING ME THESE VISIONS!
…
…
In the end…
I am like him…
…
…
" MOMO? MOMO!?" Shion knelt down next to the girl, who at the moment, seemed to be thrashing about on the floor.
" S-STOP!" MOMO suddenly yelled out, her body becoming frozen as she starred forward, looking at the wall on the other side of the room.
" MOMO…?" Mary called softly as she stood next to the girl, towering over her like some tyrant. The realian rolled over onto her back, her hands being crushed by the pressure of her weight, causing her to roll again to her side.
" Ohhh…." MOMO moaned and finally sat up. Ziggy knelt next to her, a troubled expression seeping from his eyes….if only for just a second.
" You must have been dreaming, are you fine now? Just relax." Ziggy instructed as MOMO looked at him. She looked carefully at every other person in the room and sighed in relief. What was that?
All those visions…those memories? They came out of no where…they felt similar to what she saw whenever she touched Jr…
Jr…
Wait…
MOMO took another glance around the room. A navy like interior, lighted by only a few lights. The lighting wasn't enough though, so the room stayed dim. Boxes laid around the room, taped up and labeled. Just her, Shion, Ziggy, Allen and Mary…but…
The memories came back to her as she was reminded of…
STAB
Her eyes began to water…
" Jr…" At the mention of the boys name, everyone turned pale. Ziggy, of course remained expressionless and stood up.
" MOMO…"
" He isn't here…is it?" MOMO whispered out, trying to fight the tears back. " Is he? Is HE!?"
Shion looked down in shame, not wanting to look at the pained expression on MOMO's face. MOMO looked over to Mary, expecting her to answer the question…but the blonde was fighting her own battle. She seemed to be trying to hold her own tears back…
" He was so angry with me…and I didn't say sorry…I wasn't helping him in any way…"
" MOMO…I'm sorry…" Allen called out sympathetically as MOMO burst out into tears…
So it was true…well, of course it was true! They saw it all! She saw it all! She wanted to deny it so badly…but how could she now when Allen had just confirmed her worst fears?
A pain tugged at her roughly and her head being to ache…All he wanted was to apologize…and leave her alone…
" And he did just that…because I wanted it…I hate this! I just made him suffer! All he tried to do was help…"
Is this how it felt? Vulnerable…disgusting? She made him suffer…how could she say that she hated him?…she didn't but…these odd feelings started rising again…
What was causing them?
" I hate myself…It's all my fault this is happening!" MOMO cried out as Shion lifted her head back up and caused Mary to come back to reality.
" No! MOMO, don't say that! We all took part in this knowing what risks we we're taking! Don't blame yourself!"
" Why shouldn't I! Chaos is missing…and Jr. is DEAD!"
" SHUT UP!" Mary snapped at the girl's crying, stood up and walked over to the pink haired little one. She would have slapped her…if only those cuffs hadn't been placed on. " Stop letting other people TRY to feel sorry for you! We all have our own problems! Your not the only person who suffering! He shouldn't have died!"
" Mary!" Allen said surprised by the girl's sudden anger.
" He wouldn't have been there if YOU wouldn't have pushed him away! He wouldn't have been in the hall protecting YOU! It is YOUR fault!"
" That's enough!" Ziggy yelled, causing everyone to turn in his direction and fall silent. He was the only one acting calm in their current situation. He walked up to the small group, his expression fallen to a more serious tone and mood. " We must focus on our current situation. Yelling and arguing wont get us anywhere. We can grieve later."
" That's easy for you to say! We're not like you!" Mary yelled and stood in front of him, glaring. Ziggy down, only causing the cyborg to sigh at the girl's attempt to make him shut up.
" Of course you are not like me. You don't want to end up like me…or be me for that matter. When all of you are done arguing…and your minds are clear, we shall discuss our next course of action…if there is any." With that said, Ziggy walked over to a crate, sat on top of it, and began his silent treatment.
Mary stomped off into her own corner as Allen moved closer to Shion and MOMO. Shion tried to console the girl. Seeing as there was nothing for him left to do, Allen made his way back to the window, gazing sadly.
" Ugh…I'm always so useless in these types of situations…" The young man whispered.
…
…
How soft it felt…
The figure breathed silently…soundlessly…absent mindedly trying to get into a comfortable position while sleeping.
Sleeping?
How the figure wanted to forget all problems…
This figure rolled on it side, it's bangs pushing down on the pillow. This bed was so comfy…the figure seem to not want to leave…
Bed?
Pushing around in the covers…the figure's eyebrows furrowed together.
" Ummm….errmmm." The figure mumbled silently as it placed the blankets on top of it's head…
Blankets?
Eyelids suddenly opened slowly, startled by the sudden thought.
Blue eyes questioning drowsily…
" Wha…" He mumbled again as he lifted himself from lying down, having his elbow prop him up. He examined the sheets as his eyes became adjusted to the light in the room…
Yes, this room looked familiar…
It was his room…
He looked down at the blue sheets, which hugged his body, and then he noticed he hadn't had a shirt on either…( Is it getting hot in here? Hehehehe)
He quickly sat on the bed, but then felt a pain shoot up through his stomach, causing him to hit his head on the wall. He held his head, cursing the wall for inconveniently being in the way…but he did want to lean on something. The male proceeded to rub his stomach where he felt the pain, instead, he felt a rough patch of skin healing.
Healing? From what?
He pushed the covers quickly to the side and let his legs dangle from the bed. His eyes grew wide by the slash like mark on his stomach…He touched it again, but immediately stopped as pain hit him like a wave.
How did he get that?
What had happened?
" You really shouldn't touch that stab wound Jr."
Startled, the boy quickly glanced at the direction of the voice. It came from the bathroom, where it's door had been left open…Stab wound?
When did he get stabbed?
" Jr.?" The male voice called again as Jr. gave a sign of recognition.
…
"…chaos?" Jr. questioned as the said male nodded and walked out the bathroom. Jr. quickly took in his appearance. chaos wore a dark navy shirt…accompanied by baggy navy pants and black boots. Did chaos get wounded some how? For there was a bandage wrapped around his head, and it seemed a bit bloody on one side. Speaking of bandages…
Jr. felt around his head and noticed his bandage was gone…along with his arms, chest, and even leg bandages…wasn't he unconscious? Didn't he just suffer from cuts…with the mirror incident…or was that a dream? chaos approached the boy and sat beside him, patting his shoulder. Jr. looked at the males eyes, noticing how they seemed to show relief. And suddenly…
chaos had given him a brief hug, which caused Jr. to look quite surprised at the male.
…
His comrade pulled back and smiled. Jr. was still confused as to what had happened.
" What…was that for?" Jr. was at a lost for words when chaos's smiled disappeared.
" You really scared me back there…I wasn't sure if my powers would have saved you. You were out for a long time, I was beginning to wonder…"
" What? Wonder what!? What happened?" Jr. questioned quickly as chaos gave him a sour face. " And what happened to you?"
" You don't remember…?" chaos frowned at this fact as Jr. tilted his head to the side. " You were on the floor when I found you…So much blood, I thought I was too late…"
" To late for what?"
" Before you died." Jr.'s eyes widened at this fact and he grabbed chaos by the shoulders. As soon as he did, a startling pain came to Jr.'s head. Why was touching people giving him strange reactions?
…
…
STAB
Jr. froze in place as Ziggy's eyes widened and MOMO screamed.
A man with dark hair and glasses stood in front of Jr. He let go of the object that was once in his hand…and now laid embedded in Jr.'s body.
…
" Jr.!" Shion called out as he slowly looked at her, the glow around his body and eyes, dying down. He than fell to the floor, blood coming out of his cuts and now his new wound. MOMO let the tears fall freely as she rushed towards Jr…
Jr. breathed slowly, his back against the cold floor and his hand gripping the knife. It all happened so fast…he felt suddenly dizzy. A crimson puddle began forming around his body…he felt cold somehow…
" Jr…please! Stay awake!" MOMO cried as the soldiers held their guns tighter.
…
It becomes worse as I stop…I become stiff…
No…
This can't be happening…
But he's there…
On the floor…
Dead…?
…
…
Jr. quickly let go of chaos and held his chest. His wounds did reopen…but…they were gone. All of the cuts were gone! How was that possible!?
" You found me…on the floor? And…I was looking for everyone…and I found Mary…and my violin…" Jr. thought out loud as chaos looked on in confusion.
" What was that I just saw?"
" What? You saw that to!?"
" Those visions weren't mine…is that what happened to you Jr.?" chaos questioned. It seems Jr.'s powers were making other changes to the boy's mind then first thought…
" They were…but the last part…"
" Those were mine, when I found you…how strange. I never knew you could do that."
" Me either…until MOMO…" Jr. trailed off as he held onto the vision of MOMO's face…hearing her shout out his name like that…It made him feel an eerie chill run up his spine.
" It did happen…They took MOMO…and everyone didn't they? Those people found us…Juli found us…"
" But how?"
" Dr. Lunas's assistant was working for Juli…but the bracelet I gave MOMO…they traced it…They placed a locater inside the bracelet without MOMO knowing…" The boy whispered.
"…I see…"
" Wait…why are you here!? Didn't they find you? And where's my cuts!? How did I heal so quickly?"
" Jr. calm down!" chaos patted the boy shoulder as Jr. tensed up. " Everyone is gone from the facility…I was in…an earlier accident…and when I woke up, I found myself in the storage room…inside a box…" chaos spoke, hearing the last part sounded too ridiculous…
" In a box? What? Is that how you got injured?" Jr. pointed at the bandage around chaos's head. The silver haired male sighed and started to untie it…as it fell off, Jr.'s eyes widened at the site.
" What…the…hell?" Jr. breathed out…
" Me and KOS-MOS…we got into an earlier incident…she suddenly went and attacked me…and I attacked her back…I didn't want to…maybe it was my fault that it happened, I must have pushed her to far…just maybe…"
" KOS-MOS attacked you?" Jr. sighed, not believing his friends words. chaos nodded, but suddenly felt a pain shoot through his head. " You ok?"
" I'll be fine…it's just that…I need to replace the bandage anyway…"
" Need help?"
" No…I'll be fine, your not the only one suffering anyhow." chaos pointed to the scar on Jr.'s stomach.
" Speaking about this…how did I heal so fast? And what about my cuts?" He repeated the question as chaos stood up.
" I healed them for you…your body was completely mangled when I saw you. Don't ever scare me like that again…ok Jr.?"
"Wait…you healed me? With Medicia or something? Or Life Shot?"
" No…"
" Then how…You can just do that?…" Jr. asked, not receiving a response from the other, who was now applying a bandage to his head.
" It's just something I can do…a special talent that everyone has that's different."
" Yea, like the time I heard you froze a gnosis…with just one simple touch?" chaos kept silent at the response. " chaos…who…are you?"
Chaos turned around to look at Jr., his face expressed confusion. chaos frowned and turned back around.
" What's important right now is that we find the others…there's no telling where Juli took them…"
Jr. also frowned, not liking to have his question ignored. " What if they hurt them?"
" They won't…MOMO is with them…they need her alive…and you know why."
Jr. looked downwards, the thought of MOMO was unsettling to him somehow…
" I hope she's ok…"
" I have faith in her…as well as the others…we should go." chaos suggested as finally, Jr. stood up. " We must be really far behind…"
" What do you mean?"
" You've been out for a week…"
" A week!?"
" Of course! An injury like that doesn't heal quickly Jr. Even if I did help you out." chaos snapped and shook his head. " Sorry…these headaches tend to make me fussy somehow...I get them occasionally…it hurts my head every since I received this scar."
" Don't say that…it makes you sound like you have a feminine characteristic." Jr. added as chaos starred at him blankly. " What?" chaos had suddenly chuckled…giving off a rare smile.
" It's good to see you joke around again…you've been in such a foul mood…"
" Oh…yeah, there's just a lot of things on my mind." Jr. paused as he rubbed the back of his head. " Um…thanks."
" For what?"
" For helping me live." Jr. smiled. chaos might have been strange at times, but if his mysteriousness helped Jr. stand and be alive at this present time, he was damn grateful!
" Your welcome." chaos replied as he through Jr. a shirt. " Come on, we should get moving…I feel that we'll be getting a ride out of this place."
" What do you mean?" Jr. asked as he lifted the shirt over his head and placed it on. A red shirt…a rose red color. Or maybe dried blood?
…
…
" You mean me?" Jr. and chaos quickly looked towards the open doorway to the room. A man with dark hair…and a business suit had one hand placed on his hip. Next to him, a purple haired woman stood next to him, her eyes showing worry.
What timing people had these days…it was quite strange…wasn't it?
" Gaignun!? Shelly!?" Jr. yelled out as the woman approached him, giving him a big hug.
" Little Master, you are alright!"
" I had a feeling…Since not all of us was captured, I would think Gaignun would find out and check the facility to see who had been left behind." chaos explained as Gaignun nodded.
" Of course, no one can keep anything from me." Gaignun smiled, secretly happy for Jr.'s safety. Gaurds swarmed the rest of the building…
Finding other people…who seemed to be left sprawled around their bedrooms…blood trickling to the floor…well…it was dry anyhow…
Yes…more people did seem to be left behind…dead…
Anyhow…
Damn, long chappie, but I guess you all deserved it. To bad I didn't update last week, but as said before. was having problems of its own…READ AND REVIEW!!
