Chapter 14
Hey yo everyone! The parades over, I did really well, except when my friend stepped on my Van shoe and it fell off twice. I wanted to really put a lot of emotion in at least one of my stories, you know, a lot of detail and such, and starting from this chapter im going to do just that. And that means longer, into more detail (unless I don't want to go through every gnosis battle, every sighting, every talk, important stuff)
Chapter 14
"Mae!" Shion said running up to me. She grabbed me and gave me an enormous hug, one you would expect from a grandparent that your meeting for the first time in a while.
"Im so glad your okay," Shion whispered. I grinned and Momo joined the hug.
"How did you survive out there in Space when you didn't have a Space Suit?" Momo asked after Shion had finally let go of me. I shrugged, even though I had a good guess as to whom helped me. I glanced over at chaos, who only would smile and give a thumbs up. The controls started to beep and flicker and Hammer opened up the Connection.
"Yo, everyone okay?" A little boy with red hair asked from the Monitor. For some strange reason, my heart quickened, as if I had seen my long lost mother.
"Thanks for saving us Little Master," Caption Matthews bowed. I couldn't help but laugh a little at Matthews courteous manner, but when he glared at me, I suppressed it.
"The Elsa is majorly damaged," This 'Little Master' said. "You need to Dock on the Durandal and we will fix it for you, come stay!" He grinned. I smiled at chaos, I wonder if they had some kind of shopping center there?
"We'll do just that, Tony bring the ship in!" Caption Matthews yelled. 'Little Master' gave one final glance at Momo and shut the connection off. Strange. Tony Docked the ship and we all piled out. The Durandal was roughly the same size as the Dammerung, maybe a tad bit smaller.
"Its really pretty," I said stopping and looking at the vast space. Its hard to believe that a ship like this, privately owned, was this big.
"Its so cool!" Shion exclaimed looking at the ceiling.
"Amazing ship is it not?" the red haired boy, or 'Little Master' as he was called, asked.
"Its defiantly big," I exclaimed.
"Jr," He said sticking out his hand. Jr, that's really funny.
"I have another name, but just call me Jr." It was probably something cheesy like, Ruby, or Rubedo.
"Mae, Mae Takakashii!" I said returning the gesture. He stared at me with a weird glint in his eye.
"Are you related to Aya Takakashii?" He asked. My Mom, how did he know her? He was born like ten years before she disappeared.
"Yea, she's my Mom, why?" I asked. I wanted to know why he seemed like he…loathed… the name, as if it was acid pouring down him.
"Its nothing," he said walking off and greeting everyone else. Later I would ask him what 'nothing' means. I looked over and he was flirting with Momo, how sweet, they must be both twelve, such a sweet time in life.
"Mae?" I heard someone say. I turned around and there was chaos, a weird grin plastered on his face. I forgot my troubles when I see him, its as if he puts a spell on me.
"Yea?" I said dreamily. I gazed into his perfect teal eyes.
"Everyone's gone," He chuckled. I snapped out of my Sunny Dreams and looked around, sure enough everyone was gone.
"Oh no! What if we get lost?' I asked scared. Actually, being lost with chaos would be perfect.
"They more than likely went to the bridge, we can get there by that Shuttle Bus,' chaos said pointing to the Red Tube shaped car. I nodded and we got inside. Even it was Luxury Class, extinct Leather Seats, and Holos covering the walls. When we reached the room with the Elevator for the Bridge, twelve little 100-series Realians pushed their way to the Shuttle muttering something about meeting their sister. We rode the Elevator up and when it stopped Shion gave us a scowl.
"What took you so long?" Shion asked. Standing next to Jr was a taller, older, him. He had raven black hair, and bags under his eyes, as if he had been up to long, or maybe it was because of his age.
"Nice to meet you," Taller Jr said sticking out his right hand. I looked down to shake it, but when I saw the all to familiar 669, I withdrew. He looked at me, and before anyone else could see this, I shook his hand quickly. He gave me a weird glance, and then he dismissed it.
"I am Gaignun Kukai, owner of the Kukai Foundation, and this is my son, Gaignun Jr," Gaignun said pointing to Jr, who turned away from Momo and gave us a cheesy grin. There was no way he could be his Father, not with him being a U.R.T.V. Its one good thing having your Mother be the Biological one of the U.R.T.VS, you came to know a little about them, or at least I think I do. I know that Dimitri Yuriev created them as an anti exsistance of U-DO; one of my Mother's colleagues, or superiors, which ever it was. I didn't know much about my real Mother, only what my Foster Parents had told me. Although I did find a log book that my Biological Mother had kept, and that's why I know a little more about her, and not just the, "They died in a Car Accident" crap the Fosters would say.
"Mae, are you okay?" chaos asked leaning over, so he could whisper to me. I nodded and gave him a fake smile, which he saw right through it.
"I want to show you all something, about the Zohar," Jr said.
"The Zohar?' I asked.
"Its that Golden Thingy that was onboard the Woglinde, remember?" Shion asked.
"Oh, yea, I remember, it was an Emulator right?" I asked, saying stuff I didn't know about was hard.
"Well Jr here has all Thirteen of then, we have to see!" Shion grabbed me and KOS-MOS and she pulled us to the Elevator.
"Lets go!" Shion said, lowering the Elevator. Everyone else jumped on before it went to far down. Jr took us on the Shuttle and into a Room with a door that had two guards guarding it. When they saw Jr, they parted away from the door and opened it for us. I nodded, but they didn't say, "Your welcome" or anything. When we reached the room, I gasped.
"This is the Isolation Room for the Zohar Emulators, we have all Thirteen now," Jr said pointing to them.
"They have names written on all of them," Ziggy announced. Well, no matter how hard I looked, I saw Chicken Scratch.
"You have amazing Eyesight," Shion commented. Shion looked to the one in the Middle.
"It says Marienkind, now where have I heard that before?' Shion asked no one.
"It means child of Mary," I said. Shion nodded and Jr made us follow him into the next room where Gnosis remains were floating about in water filled containers.
"This is Betty," Jr said pointing to the Half Human-Half Gnosis girl in the very back. I shuddered.
"This is what happens when a Gnosis touches you, well either this, or you turn into a Gnosis, or you turn into Salt." I shuddered again and lightly touched my neck. I saw chaos in the back, smiling at me again. Boy, he sure does smile a lot now. Well I guess he has something nice to smile at (Hint, Hint- Me!). We left the room and an ongoing discussion of Joachim Mizrahi went about.
"He was a mass murdered, he started the Gnosis Phenomenon," Jr muttered.
"A Mad Man," Allen shivered. I looked at him with shock.
"Where has HE been?" I asked chaos. He shrugged and we laughed. When I turned around, Momo was running out of the room, I could hear her sniffling. I looked at Shion and KOS-MOS and we followed her into the Park Region, a place I had yet to go. When we got there, I tripped over the Water Fountain, and that brought a smile upon Momo's face.
"Whats wrong?' I asked after I had composed myself from falling. I sat down beside her and patted her shoulder.
"Daddy…wasn't…a…mad…man!" She cried.
"Momo, we know he wasn't, because if he was, he wouldn't of made you such a sweet person!" I said. Momo looked at me with her pitiful crying eyes.
"You think of me as a person?" Momo asked. I nodded.
"I had the same trouble that you did two years ago. I was in an accident the first day of work, in the Encephalon, and my arm was burned to a Vegetable." I held my right arm up for her to see.
"So they had to replace it with a Android Arm," I twisted the finger and the wrist, to show her how it worked.
"But how did you not think you were a person?" Momo asked, eager to hear he rest.
"Well, I thought that my ex-boyfriend, Mark, wouldn't love me anymore because I had a fake arm, and later after Shion helped me, I realized that it didn't matter, as long as I still had my heart and soul."
"Now I didn't say anything about Heart and Soul," Shion said laughing.
"Why is he your ex?" Momo asked. Hello, personal much?
"He was killed by the Archetype KOS-MOS in the incident." I fingered the Pink Heart Necklace; I forgot that I still had it. Why hadn't chaos gotten me anything? Momo gave me a hug, and I accidentally yawned.
"Im so sorry, Im really tired, im going to go to my room now, if that's okay!" I said getting up. The Girls said their good bye to me and when I finally reached my room, I saw it. It was a little black velvet box and when I opened it, I smiled. Inside was a necklace with a Golden Heart with Pink Accents and little diamonds and on the back it said, "To Mae, from chaos with love." I smiled and replaced the Pink Diamond Necklace with my new one, forever putting Mark out of my mind.
