"Omi, hurry up!"
"Omi, hurry up. I'd like to see them do this." Omi huffed as he finished deactivating Schreient's security system. With a slight smirk of satisfaction, Omi quickly ran off to catch up with the rest of Weiss. He found them in a face-off with three of the women of Schreient.
"Where's Aya?" Aya yelled.
"Well, you all finally made it." Hell confidently stated. "We've been waiting for you."
"So how does it feel to be betrayed by one of your own?" Schon questioned.
Ken looked over at Yohji who had frozen in his tracks. "No. I didn't. I couldn't." Yohji managed to choke out.
"Where's Aya?" Aya frustrated screamed once more.
Hell, Schon and Tot all laughed fiercely as the ground began to shake.
"Earthquake?" Omi wondered as the floor started to break apart beneath him.
Ken turned around. "Omi!" Ken bellowed as he watched in horror Omi falling into the unknown depths below. A cage began rattling down to cover the area where Omi once stood. Quickly, Ken dove after Omi.
"Ken!" Yohji called after him.
"I'm okay but I don't know about Omi." Ken answered. It appeared as though both of Omi's legs had been cut but Ken didn't know for sure. Omi had not responded to him yet.
"If you don't pay attention, it's too easy for us to kill you." Tot chuckled as she, Hell and Schon attacked Aya. Out of nowhere, Neu blazed after Yohji shaking him out of his trance.
"Damnit! Where are they? What the hell is going on up there?" Ken questioned as he held his left arm in pain. He hadn't thought twice about jumping in after Omi. But now, he literally felt trapped and that made him very anxious. He couldn't think straight and was in agony. 'Damnit! I landed wrong. I wonder if I broke my wrist. That's not good. We're so screwed.' Ken frantically watched above for any signs of Aya or Yohji.
"Ken." Omi breathed heavily as he collapsed. Ken grabbed Omi before he fell to the ground. As gently as he could, Ken turned Omi over to face him. "Hey, Ken. It's strange." Omi said weakly.
"What's wrong?" Ken wondered as he surveyed Omi's body. "What the hell is that!" Omi's cuts on his legs weren't as minor as Ken thought. Omi had been stabbed by broken viles and glass was sticking out of his skin.
"Ken . . . I'm starting . . . to lose my . . . sight. I'm . . . so . . . tired . . . " Omi gasped.
"Omi." Ken's eyes widened as he helplessly watched Omi's body go limp.
"Oh, you poor things! What bad luck!" Schon mocked. "This was originally a military installation. They did all kinds of experiments here but didn't really clean up very well. You can still find all sorts of dangerous things around here. For example, potent toxins that will kill you as soon as they enter your body." Schon laughed.
Horror struck, Ken stared down at Omi. Omi's breathing had become shallow and his eyes were closed. "Omi, look at me. Omi. Omi! Open your eyes, Omi! Omi!" Panicked, Ken cried, "Aya! Yohji! Hurry! Omi's in trouble! We've got to get out of here! Hurry! Aya! Yohji!"
"Ken! Ken! Wake up!"
"What!"
"You alright, Ken?"
"Yohji, what . . . what are you doing up?"
"Well, it's kind of hard to sleep when you're down here screaming bloody murder."
"Was I screaming?" Ken questioned as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"You've got to be kidding me. Why would I make that up?"
"Hey! I don't remember, okay? I was just asking!"
"So, what were you dreaming about?"
"I don't know." Ken lied.
Yohji pushed. "You were screaming for me and Aya to hurry."
"I said I don't remember! So just leave me alone!"
"Geez! You really are a pain in the ass sometimes. I was just trying to help."
"Well, maybe I don't need your help! Maybe I don't need anyone's help!"
Shocked, Yohji replied, "Well, you were screaming for my help in your dream."
"That was for Omi, not me!" Ken shot back quickly.
"I thought you said you didn't remember." Yohji countered.
Ken flew off the couch and bolted out the door. Throwing on his helmet, Ken jumped on his motorcycle. After revving the engine a few times, Ken tore down the road. Frustrated, Ken rode faster and faster. 'Why is this happening to me? I can't stand this! Why do I keep dreaming about Omi in so much pain? Am I going to start having nightmares about Aya and Yohji next? What's going on?' Ken pondered as he continued to speed away from Yohji's mountain retreat.
