"Finally! I can get rid of this headache!" Jr. exclaimed as he entered his room. He plopped down on the bed, his head turning sideways into the pillow and landing face down. "Man, this feels good…" Just as he was getting comfortable, the intercom connection link beeped. He mumbled into the pillow in front of him before getting up and connecting the link through.
"Shion? What's up? Haven't seen you guys in a long time!" Jr. said, feeling like he had just woken up from a nap…even though he never got one.
"I just thought that I would invite you to our little get together here at the beach. Wanna come?" Shion offered.
"Well, I suppose it would be all right." Jr. nodded. Then the pain hit him again. "Maybe after I get rid of this darn headache! This is what one too many meetings do to ya…"
"But I thought that Gaignun said that this was your first one…" Shion tilted her head in confusion. "Yeah, it might be my last one too. Watching people argue isn't something too pleasing if you ask me…huh?" Jr. looked at the corner of the hologram in front of him. An icon had appeared which let him know someone else was trying to contact him.
"Sorry Shion, I promise I'll call you back in a second, all right?"
"Who is it?" Shion inquired. "It looks like its from Gaignun…" He responded. "Oh, then it must be important. If you can come, then show up. Don't worry about calling back. I'll talk to you later!" Shion waved and then disconnected.
Jr. then took the call from Gaignun. "What's up?" He greeted. The screen was empty. "Well, that's not very nice…jeez!"
"Hello, Rubedo!" A strange and masculine voice came from the darkened screen. Jr. sat upright, recognizing who the voice belonged to. A few seconds later, a man with white hair, purple eyes and a playful grin showed up.
"What do you want Albedo?" Jr. questioned, raising his voice a little.
"What do I want? I thought that you would be happy to hear from your brother. Hahahahaha…!" Albedo started laughing like a maniac.
Jr. growled at the sight of his insane brother. "Oh, and I also wanted you to know, that the important Zohar documents are now in my hands!" Albedo informed. Jr.'s eyes widened when Albedo held up a yellow packet of papers. "I 'borrowed' them from Nigredo."
"How? Wait a second…what Zohar documents! If they were really that important, then why wouldn't Gaignun tell me about them!" Jr. was surprised that Gaignun had kept something about the Zohar a secret from him. He knew his brother trusted him, but why wasn't he informed about these 'documents'?
"If you wanted to know where our dear brother was, he is still in the meeting hall." A picture of Gaignun knocked out on the floor made Jr.'s jaw drop. "If you were thinking that I did it…well then you're correct! I must go, so ta ta for now!" And the connection was ended. Jr. hesitated for a second, but he eventually got up to find his brother.
Again, the interstellar connector beeping interrupted him. "Jeez! I don't have time for all these calls!" Jr. ran back over to the intercom and opened the link. "Yeah?" He greeted rudely.
"Jr.! You have to hurry! The Gnosis have made it into the foundation!"
"What! Now Gnosis are attacking! Aw man! I'm jammed today! (sigh) and my head still hurts…I'll be right there Shion!" He answered and quickly ended the call. He hurriedly grabbed his guns and ran out the door.
"Shion…are you sure that we should have tricked him into coming to the beach like that?" MOMO asked in a worried tone. "Don't worry. I'm sure that it will be fine…it takes him less long to get here." Just then, Jr. came rushing out of nowhere rolling on his side and then immediately getting up on one knee like an action movie star would.
Shion and the others giggled to see his surprised look. His eyes widened when he didn't see anything.
"Jr., you really need to start getting out more with us. That's the reason why we tricked you into coming over here with us. Besides, I think that you should be here with MOMO." Shion began to giggle and again.
"Shion! What the hell…? I have other important things to do than play these stupid games!" Jr. sounded very serious, which made everyone stop smiling.
"What else is more important than spending time with your friends! Do you really think of us that lowly?" Shion yelled, surprising everyone.
"Listen! I don't have time for this! I have to go save Gaignun! He's in danger and you give me a prank call for Gnosis attacking the foundation when it's not really happening!" Jr. retorted, standing up and giving a scowl. Shion backed up one step and put a hand to her mouth.
"Master Gaignun is in trouble?" She said, softening her harsh tone.
"Yeah! Didn't you notice that I was all ready half way out the door when you called? On top of that, Albedo took some type of Zohar document that was supposed to be really important…and I didn't even know about it." Jr. suddenly lightened his voice. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Jr. …" MOMO cautiously stepped towards him a few steps, but then decided to let him think these matters over by himself.
"Anyway! I don't have time to waste just standing here! Are you guys coming or not?" Jr. all of a sudden looked up and gripped his guns tighter.
"I'm in." MOMO said cheerfully.
"Me too." Shion included. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"All right then, let's go!" Jr. ran off, not willing to wait up for them.
"…ugh…" Gaignun slowly sat up from his lying position. He rubbed the back of his head and drowsily looked around. He looked down at the floor in front of him and then sighed.
"I remember being at a meeting with the Zohar papers, then Albedo came…wait a second! Where are the Zohar documents?" He panicked, searching every inch of the floor around him. Finally he managed to get up and look around even more. To his displeasure, he didn't find the documents.
"Damn it! Albedo must have taken them! I can't let those documents get into the wrong hands! If he finds out, who knows what will happen…and I didn't even tell Jr. about them…I wonder if Albedo contacted Jr. about all of this…" Just then, he heard the opening of a door along with a half a dozen footsteps.
"Gaignun! Are you all right!" Jr. said as he ran toward his brother. He looked up at him with a slightly worried look.
"Yeah, I'm all right…"
"Gaignun…why didn't you tell me about those Zohar documents?" Gaignun looked at Jr. then turned around, ashamed at his own actions.
"I…I don't know. I guess…I just didn't want you to have another thing to worry about. You have your friends to worry about more than the Zohar. It's not like I have that privilege. My only friends are my colleges." Gaignun explained. Jr. nodded slowly, eventually staring down at the gray floor in front of him.
"Still, I am part of this. Don't even say that you don't have friends. You've got me, Shelly, Mary and plenty of other people to respect who you are!" Jr. inquired. He lifted his head up and put on a grin. His grin slowly faded as Gaignun didn't move. 'This isn't at all like him…' Jr. thought.
"Come on! We have to get those documents back!" Jr. changed subjects, urging his brother to get off of the depressing subject. Gaignun turned around and nodded. They all left together to find the documents that would be able to vanish the Zohar forever. Or so that's what they thought…
