5.Voltaire Hiwatari:

Kira and Brooklyn met up with both Mystel and Hoshi at the table when they finished dancing. "Hey, Mystel, see you met a chick up to your standards," said Brooklyn. "You did not just me/her a chick," said both Hoshi and Kira at the same time angrily.

"Brooklyn, say sorry to the young hottie, besides, she is in my standards," said Mystel. "Oops, pardon my rudeness," apologized Brooklyn as he looked at the two angry girls. "Hmph, I knew it was too good to be true, you're just another player, see you," said Kira as she glared at Brooklyn and walked to the bar.

"Kira, wait, Mystel, start the plan now," said Brooklyn as he growled and ran after Kira. After Brooklyn left, Mystel smiled at Hoshi as if nothing happened. "Mystel, what did he mean?" asked hoshi.

"He means I have to let you sleep now so we can start on Part 2, but you see, you're already starting to go to sleep," said Mystel, and as he said, Hoshi's eyelids were getting heavy, and before she blacked out, she saw Brooklyn coming with an unconscious Kira in his arms.

Kira opened her eyes and found that she was in a dark stone cell. She then focused her eyes better and found that she wasn't alone; all her friends were unconscious all over the floors. "Guys, wake up, are you okay?" asked Kira as she went to everyone and shook them awake.

"Man, what happened?" asked Lee. "Don't know, but--" started Kira but was cut off by a door opening. "I see you're all awake, and I'm sure you want an explanation." A man in his seventies came in with Kai and his friends with Brooklyn and Mystel following behind.

"Voltaire," whispered Spencer as he stood up. "Hello, Spencer, I didn't know you came back to Japan," said Voltaire. "Sir, how, may I ask, did you get out of jail?" asked Spencer with a serious voice. "That, my boy, is thanks to my loyal soldier, Boris," said Voltaire as a guy with purple hair walked in.

"Now onto business, which of you is Kira and Hoshi?" asked Voltaire. Kira and Hoshi were about to stand but were held down. "Come now, girls, I won't hurt you." Still, neither came up. "COME OUT OR ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS WILL DIE!" yelled Voltaire.

"Is that a promise?" asked Mariah, still holding Hoshi down. "Fine…Kai, Rei, get Kira and Hoshi," said Voltaire, irritated. Kai and Rei walked up to the two girls and picked them up by their throats. "Let them go, you're going to kill them!" shouted Mariah to Rei, but he slapped her and she fell to the floor.

"Ma…ri…ah," choked Hoshi. "Please stop it, you'll kill them," said Salima as she tried to pull Kai's arm, but she was punched in the stomach and was on the floor in pain. "Sa…li…ma…" choked Kira as she started feeling dizzy. "That's enough, boys, we don't want them to die, do we," said Voltaire.

Kira and Hoshi were dropped to the floor, choking for air, while Rei and Kai stared down at them. "Now, let's start over, Kira and Hoshi, come over here," ordered Voltaire. Kira and Hoshi stood, glaring at Voltaire, but nonetheless, walked over to him but stayed sixteen inches away from him.

"Happy? Now tell us what this is all about," said Kira emotionally. "May, my, my grandson and his friends have picked two half-angels," said Voltaire, staring at Kira and Hoshi up and down. "Hey, old man, you better stop staring or I'll pull your eyes out!" yelled Kira as she stepped in front of Hoshi.

"Yes, well, let's get to business. I would like every single one of you to join us. We can give you anything, money, cars, clothes, jewelry, houses, women, men, anything you like, just join us," said Voltaire. It was silent for a while 'til Kira started laughing.

"You are crazy, you can't just buy us, we have our dignity!" shouted Kira as she laughed harder. "You think you can laugh in my face and get away? Brian, teach her a lesson!" yelled Voltaire as Brian walked up to her and back-handed her left cheek. Kira retracted her head and stared at Brian blankly.

"That wasn't nice, and I don't like to be treated like a bitch," said Kira in a cold voice that sent shivers through all her friends, except Hoshi. "Shut up, and if you hadn't noticed, in here, you are a bitch," said Brian as he grabbed Kira's throat.

"Stop it, you'll--" said Mariam, but Hoshi cut her off. "I suggest you let her go, she's getting mad," said Hoshi emotionlessly. Brian just ignored her and raised Kira off the floor by her throat. Kira just put her hands by her side, her bangs covering her eyes, and she didn't struggle.

"I really must insist on you putting her down and letting go," said Hoshi with the same tone. "Shut up, will you, son of a bitch!" yelled Brian. Suddenly, Kira's legs connected with Brian's face, and he was kicked into a wall.

"I'll tell you this once. You can call me a bitch but not my friends because I am a bad bitch," said Kira as she flipped her hair and glared at Brian. "Okay, Mr. Voltaire, let me first say I'm sorry for laughing in your face,"she said sarcastically, "Second, I suggest you let my friends go or things will get ugly," said Kira.

"Miss Kira, please don't be so brutal. Besides, since you decline my nice offer, I'll just have to erase and replace your memories like I did with my good grandson and his friends," said Voltaire. "So that's the explanation on how they changed, it's your fault!" yelled Miguel as he stood up with the others.

"Yes, it was. You see, they had power but wouldn't use it, so I made them my servants, my emotionless servants," said Voltaire.

"And when I heard my servants were beaten by two girls, I was outraged, but then I had an idea. 'Why not use the girls? They obviously have power,' and I decided to get your friends, too."

"Brian, Kai, Rei, back in line. Garland, get out here!" ordered Boris. Brian, Kai, and Rei got into their places, and a boy walked out from behind the doors and stood beside Voltaire.

"Now, girls, I believe you haven't met Garland yet. He's our best fighter, and here's an example why," said Voltaire with an evil smile on his face. Garland charged in between Kira and Hoshi and kicked them in the stomach at the same time.

Both girls were pushed to the back and blood spilled out of their mouths, but they just stood up and stared at him blankly. "Hoshi, do you wish to take this?" asked Kira. "No, I'll stay and protect the others. You let your stress out on him," said Hoshi as she licked her lips and wiped her face.

"Okay, fine by me," said Kira as she walked up to Garland. "Now you're in trouble. She's was pass pissed, and now she needs to blow off some steam," said Hoshi as she stood in front of her friends.

"That wasn't nice, you hit both me and my friend and didn't even say sorry," said Kira as she wiped the blood off her face with the back of her hand and licked it. "Hey, fighter boy, if you say sorry, maybe I won't embarrass you…much," said Kira.

Garland looked at Kira and stepped closer to her. Kira stood her ground, watching him. Kira's head was then hit to the side, leaving a bruise on her left cheek along with Brian's slap mark.

"Fine, but I warned you, and please stop making blood come out of my mouth, it's annoying," said Kira as she retracted her head and licked her lips. "Garland, stop playing and start beating her up so we can start the experiment!" yelled Boris.

Suddenly, Garland's leg was about to connect with Kira's stomach again, but Kira grabbed it and twisted it behind him, making him hop. Kira smirked and started walking with Garland hopping like a rabbit. She then let go and kicked his head, making him hit the floor.

"Get up, you're not done yet," said Kira, standing up straight. Garland stood up and glared at Kira with pure hatred. "Don't give me bullshit just because I'm a girl, fight me or I'll make sure you're in pain, and embarrass you, physically and mentally," said Kira.

"You'll pay for that, bitch," said Garland. "Good heavens, he spoke. So he does have a voice," said Kira sarcastically.

Garland charged at her and tried to punch her face, but Kira dodged it and got behind him. "Who're you trying to hit?" asked Kira innocently as she set her head on his shoulder, mocking him. Garland was getting pissed and was about to elbow her, but he felt her hands slide down his arms.

"Don't think about it, a strong warrior like you should know you met a greater opponent," Kira whispered in his ear. "Garland, get into your place, you've failed!" yelled Boris. Kira let him go and stepped aside, letting him pass.

"Well done, young Kira, you'd make a wonderful addition to my group," said Voltaire. "I told you, NO!" yelled Kira. "And didn't I explain that I can make you?" said Voltaire.

"Boys, bring them to Lab B," said Voltaire as he and Boris left. Kai and the others looked at Kira and her friends and smirked. "You heard him, come on," said Kai as he and his friends took out guns.

"Come on and follow, or else," said Rei. Kira's friends felt scared but didn't show it and followed them out. "Come along, birdy," said Kai as he came up to Kira.

"Fuck off, Kai, I'm not moving," said Kira. Kai grabbed Kira's hair roughly, rubbed his cheek against her, and licked her bruise. "Don't make me hurt you, birdy," said Kai. "If you're going to shoot me, shoot me, dieing is a big adventure," said Kira.

"I can't kill you, but I can do this to get you to Lab B," said Kai as he carried Kira over his shoulder. "Kai, put me down, I'm wearing a god damn skirt!" yelled Kira as she punched and kicked him, but he wouldn't let her down.

"I like it like this," said Kai as he slid his hand up her leg and squeezed her ass while he walked to Lab B. When they were in Lab B, Kai put Kira down only to get a hard punch.

"Miss Kira, for your action, I'll let you go last and watch all your friends turn against you," said Voltaire as he snapped his fingers. As soon as he snapped his fingers, Ozuma, Dunga, Kane, Spencer, Aaron, Raul, and Lee were put in test tubes.

"No, Ozuma, Dunga, you can't!" yelled Joseph as he ran to Dunga's tube and pounded on it. "Please, don't!" yelled Mariam as she pounded on Ozuma's tube.

"Kane, please, not him," cried Salima as she and Jim ran to Kane. "Spencer, hold on, man!" yelled Gary as he tried to break the tube. "Let Aaron go!" yelled Matilda as she, Miguel, and Claude pounded on the tube.

"Raul, let my brother go!" yelled Julia as she pounded on her brother's tube. "Lee, we'll get you out," said Mariah as she and Kevin pounded on his tube. "Let them go!" yelled Hilary, but Tyson held her back.

"Let go, Michael, I need to help them!" yelled Emily, struggling to get Michael to let go of her arm. "Voltaire, you bastard, let them go!" yelled Kira. "Commence Project: Memory," said Voltaire, ignoring Kira's yelling.

"Commencing Project: Memory. Project: Memory at 90 power," said Boris as the tubes began to emit voltage. Kira could hear the screams of her friends, and she fell to the floor on her knees, screaming in pain as she clutched her head, a surge of memories, her friends' memories, appeared in her head.

The weird part was, they were bad memories. Hoshi, too, fell to the floor, screaming, with memories in her head, but she instead got happy memories.

Soon, the voltage stopped, Kira and Hoshi stopped screaming, and the tubes opened to reveal Ozuma, Dunga, Kane, Spencer, Aaron, Raul, and Lee standing there like nothing happened. "Ozuma, Dunga, Kane, Spencer, Aaron, Raul, Lee, are you okay?" asked Mariam as they stepped out.

"Don't worry, babe, we're all good," said Ozuma as he grabbed Mariam around the waist. Mariam's face was in horror at what he said and pushed him away. "No, they've succeeded," cried Mariam. "Yes, and now for the rest of you." The others, except Hoshi and Kira, were pushed into a tube.

"Please, no, let them go!" cried Hoshi as she ran to her friends, but Rei held onto her arm. "No, let them go!" yelled Kira as she struggled to run to them, but Kai held her around the waist. Soon, the process started over.

Hoshi and Kira started screaming and fell to the floor again, having memories flash through their heads. It ended soon and when Kira and Hoshi looked at their friends, they felt their friends disappear. There stood only imposters.

"Hi, girls, how's it going?" said Mariah, smiling, but both of them knew it wasn't a real smile. "Kira, Hoshi, do you want to join your friends? All you have to do is step into the tubes," said Voltaire, smirking.

Everyone could see that both Kira and Hoshi's eyes were hollow and empty. Kira was the first to stand and looked at Voltaire with tearful eyes. Next was Hoshi, and she too was crying. "You are a bastard for messing with memories," said Hoshi.

"You've messed with the wrong people," said Kira as she felt hatred building up inside her. "You should know that you can't throw away the good memories…" said Hoshi as she sprouted white wings. "And replace them with dark memories by will…" said Kira as she sprouted black wings.

"Cause memories are things that just happen!" finished both Kira and Hoshi together. "What are you?" asked a scared Boris.

"They are the angels of light and dark memories. I read about them, they are holders of both human and bit-beast memories. Magnificent, aren't they? With them, we can change every single living thing's memories, in an instant!" laughed Voltaire.

"We are the Guardians of Memories, and you both have altered many memories. We cannot allow this to go any further!" yelled Hoshi. "Ladies, I know of your powers. Why not join me and we can change this world?"

"This world is fine, it needs not changing. You will end here, and leave with nothing," said Kira. "Fine, but I also know that when you're in your human form, you're powerless, and I know a way to capture you without any struggle. Salima, Mariah, persuade your friends to follow Kai and Rei into the next room," said Voltaire.

Mariah and Salima both walked up to Kira and Hoshi and smiled. "Hey, Hoshi, why don't you talk to Rei for a while?" asked Mariah as she grabbed Hoshi's arm.

"Mariah, this is not you. I've seen your happy memories, don't let them replace your happy memories with sad memories," said Hoshi as she grabbed Mariah's hands with her own.

"I have no happy memories, only sad ones. Voltaire and Boris just erased my false memories," said Mariah as she stepped away from Hoshi. "And if you won't join, then you're not my friend. Either you follow orders or I'll force you," said Mariah.

"Fine, but know this, you are my friend and if you say I have to follow, then I trust you," said Hoshi as she turned to Rei. When Hoshi said that, Mariah felt a jolt and a memory appeared in her head. It was when Rei scared away some bullies and Lee, Gary, and Kevin were trying to cheer her up.

"Kira, you should listen to Mr. Voltaire. He is, after all, an adult," said Salima. "Salima, I've seen your pain, and I know it was horrible. Cyber Driger used you and you were losing your mind," said Kira as she started crying.

"But you have to let go, you were saved and was given another chance. Move on and make happier memories."

"If you saw my sad memory, then you should understand that I can't move on. I'm haunted by that memory, and I can't make happy memories when you're not following Mr. Voltaire's orders," said Salima. Kira wiper away her tears and turned to Kai.

"You may have had a dark past, but you need to make a bright future. It looks like you are right, your past is haunting you, you're being controlled again, but this time, you won't fight back," said Kira as she walked up to Kai.

Salima stared at Kira and saw a memory of herself and Rei. They were battling and Rei was trying to help her, while she was controlled by Cyber Driger.

"Never lose hope, we'll get you back to normal and save you," said Kira as she and Hoshi followed Kai and Rei out of the lab. "We'll save all of you," whispered Kira.
