Possessions

Chapter 3: Escape

Dentech Prison

"Ah Chief. Just in time." An officer was guarding a certain someone inside a small cell. Chief and Manuella were standing around the cell seeing the two-month criminal: Master Shukun. Even though he was still alive Shukun's organization had fallen. Chief Keifer was watching him with a cautious look on his face and Master Shukun was being silent as people were looking at him.

"He has caused so much." Manuella whispered to the Chief. "What should we do to him?"

"I don't know. He had committed a lot of things: bombing, trying to kill an innocent girl...it's frightening." The Chief had told the purple haired woman. She nodded and she stared back at the cold man. He hasn't shaven in a long time and he looked so dark and cold. He wore a black cloak so he can keep himself hidden.

"Well, we have to get back to work. We need more information about this guy." The officer had said to them. They both nodded and they stared at the man one last time. Manuella sighed and Chief Keifer left.

/Ha. Arrogant. They don't know what I'm going to do...next./ Master Shukun made one of his evil smirks.

Hikari Residence

The three net savers had come downstairs in order for Lan to eat for a little while. He was still being a little ill and he could barely walk down. The two other companions held his arms and they led the brunette.

"Lan. I wanted you in bed. And I'm just treating cookies and ochazuke to the others." Lan's mother smiled at the two of them. They both nodded. She was finishing the hot soup for Lan and she walked over to him. She felt the forehead of the boy and she made a frown.

"Your fever is burning. I want you back in bed now." His mother commanded.

"Mama...please." Lan begged his mom. His mother was very angry inside but she hid it with perfect balance.

"Dear. I want you to feel better. Now after you finish the soup I want you in bed. Understand?" Lan knew that his mom was being serious about his condition.

"Hai." Lan nodded with an agreement and he sat down eating the soup slowly.

"You two. The food will be finished soon. You can stay in the living room if you want." Lan's mom told the two of them.

/Oh...ochazuke...green tea with rice.../ Calista thought happily. She hadn't tried it before but she heard that it was good.

"Arigatou Mrs.Hikari." Chaud and Calista walked over to the living room and sat down in a brown couch. There was an awkward silence and amazingly, Chaud broke it.

"Calista...is there something I can do for you? You know..." Calista had gazed down at her lap and after hearing those words from Chaud she sighed.

"I don't know. But you don't need to worry about a thing. Really. I'm here to see how the research is going for the Time Chip." Calista made a small smile. Chaud stared at her with the sapphire eyes but he hesitated and took out the PET.

"Protoman is there anything going on at the Steel Building?" Chaud asked the red navi.

"Uh...no. Not right now." Protoman responded. "I'll do something about it if you want." He asked.

"No, it's fine. Can you organize my files for me at Blaze Quest?" Chaud asked. Protoman nodded and went right to work. He turned back to Calista.

"Calista, I really want to help you out. I'm glad that you're okay but we have to get more information about Armella." Calista stared at him with a blankexpression.

"Chaud, it's too sudden. Can't we take it slow?" Calista asked.

"Cally..."

"I know you are worried. Believe me. My mom is still looking for the files and I know that she is searching for them right now. I know she is." Calista responded.

"Well if you're sure." Chaud said softly. Mrs.Hikari had carried a small tray of cookies and the green tea.

"Here you go." She bowed and was about to give Lan medicine. Chaud and Calista ate a little bit with a lot of things in their minds. Calista loved the green tea that she tried and it seems that it was better than the delicious cookies Mrs.Hikari treated.

Kitchen

"Mom, how long do you think I'm sick?" Lan wheezed. His mother looked at him with a small smile.

"According to the temperature, probably a week or so."

"NANI?" Lan dropped his spoon in the soup.

"Lan, I can't let you go in missions unless you're in good condition." His mom said.

"Mom, I can take care of myself really." Lan stood up.

"Lan, don't push it." Megaman said softly.

"Err..." Lan sat back down and his mom made a frown.

"Once you feel better you can go back to the missions. End of discussion." His mom turned off the stove when the tea was made and she patted her son's messy head.

"Don't worry..." She whispered. Lan glared at her with the chocolate eyes but he made a smile and nodded. Then the doorbell rang. Mrs.Hikari rushed over and saw that it was Maylu.

"Hello dear. Here to see Lan?" Mrs.Hikari asked.

"Hai. I was worried when he left to go home. So why not come with a visit?" Maylu was holding pink roses with a matching ribbon streaming in the stems. Mrs.Hikari let her in and Maylu took off her shoes and the next thing she did was...

"CALLY!"

...saw Calista who was wondering who was at the door. Maylu ran over to her and gave her a warm hug.

"Hey Maylu. I see you are still the same." Calista made a smile.

"Believe it!" Maylu nodded with agreement. "Where's Lan?"

"He's in the kitchen right now. Apparently he isn't happy being sick." Calista explained.

"Haha. Yeah, and our relationship is turning a lot better..." Maylu whispered to her ear.

"Oh really how?"

"Well...it's really a bad and good thing. Firstly, he lend me an umbrella when I forgot my own. But he had to walk in the rain that made him sick."

"Oh...but I know it's not your fault Maylu. He was just being nice." Calista reasoned.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Maylu went over to the kitchen seeing Lan giving the empty bowl to his mom. He was going straight to bed when he saw Maylu.

"Konichiwa Maylu..." Lan made a small smile to her.

"Here." Maylu gave the roses to Lan and his smile widened.

"Arigatou. But I need to sleep. Gomen." Lan rushed upstairs with the PET in his hand. Maylu made a frown.

/Was it because I made him sick? Err...I gotta repay that.../ Maylu thought.

She saw Chaud and Calista talking for a little while in the living room and joined them. The three of them would go upstairs to see Lan sleeping while Protoman, Roll, and Megaman talked for a little while. Protoman, being the most silentand had finished the files, was thinking about something else.

Until it was getting late the three of them said 'thank you' to Mrs.Hikari for treating them and they went out the door. Maylu had went back next door while Chaud and Calista waved good-bye and called a limo to pick them up.

"Are you still at the yellow house?" Chaud asked.

"Yeah. You know where that is right?" Calista smiled. Chaud blushed small and nodded. He knew where the house was it's just that he thought she moved to another area. The limo had finally arrived and the two of them went inside. For it seems like five minutes they were still in the limo being so silent.

/It's been a long time since I'd seen her...I have to make her smile more./ Chaud thought. Calista was fiddling with the bracelet again and she saw Chaud staring at her.

"Are you all right?" She asked. Chaud shook his head and nodded. The limo driver stopped in the curve and Calista opened the door to let herself out.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay?" Calista waved and Chaud nodded. Calista went inside the house and the limo left. Chaud was going back to the Steel Building again to see how it's going. He didn't want to ask Calista to come because it was late, and another was that he didn't want her to feel bad for the deletion.

Rana Residence

"You're late dear. Where have you been? Your mother was calling you!" Grandma Rana made a smile and frown at the same time. Calista was surprised.

"Mom called me? What did she say?" Calista questioned.

"She couldn't find the files today but she will take a break at work. You on the other hand need to make more chips."

"Me? I don't have a test run..."

"Cally!" Calista turned around seeing Oscar carrying a lot of blank chips. "Wrenchman can help out and be your test run!"

"Oscar...thanks, but it's better if I do my work alone..." Calista went upstairs leaving Oscar speechless.

/Did I do something wrong/ Oscar thought. Grandma Rana patted his head.

"You didn't."

Oscar was astounded by his obaasan's thoughts. Oscar made a frown and he held his PET to go to bed.

Calista's Room

/Oh...I should've said that to Oscar. I was just being ridiculous/ Calista had a couple of blank chips in her hand that she brought from China.

She was wearing her small blue T-shirt that had a red heart in the middle of her chest. She also wore gray jogging pants mixed with the gloves she was still wearing. Her lamp was turned on and the curtains were closed. She sat down in her desk and began to type the stats and elements of the future chips on the computer. Calista shook her head.

/That's strange. I thought I saw something again.../ Calista thought she saw a picture roaming around on the computer and she shook her head and sighed. She gazed at the chip loading out of a small machine. She took a good look at it and she smiled.

/This is for Chaud.../ Calista held a chip that had Protoman's symbol and the chip was called the 'Pale Sword'. It was not tested yet since it's brand new so Calista will ask Chaud later on to test.

/And that reminds me. I'm going to the Scilab tomorrow and Oscar would want to come./ She smiled and yawned. She turned to look at the clock and it was getting late like 'till eleven. She turned off the computer and lamp and she fell to her bed to sleep.

Dentech Prison (MIDNIGHT)

It was midnight in the Dentech Prison. The officers and police force were guarding the whole place in case prisoners escape. But little did they know, it was going to be a silent escape.

In a old cell Master Shukun was fixing an escape route and he was about to do it when someone silently came inside the cell. And astounded for Shukun to see, it was a girl. The girl was pretty tall and she had a black jumpsuit. Dark glasses covered her eyes and she had a key in her hand.

"Ah...I see that you have been caught...foolish brother..." She smirked at the cold man and unlocked the door silently. Master Shukun grumbled and stood up in a tiring way.

"Good job. But I had a plan on my own." He mentioned to the girl.

"Yeah, but I think your plan will be useless..." The girl took Master Shukun's hand and took the shortcut that the girl took. She smiled and had a hook shot in her hand to go from ceiling to ceiling. They swung until finally the exit was opened clearly of an opened window. Master Shukun and the companion left out of sight...

Calista's Room

Calista was sleeping peacefully and she was very tired. She kept on holding the aquamarine PET and she moaned in her dreams. Abruptly something was going on in her computer. It had turned on by itself and digital boxes were appearing out of nowhere. The boxes had complicated writing in each document and to make itself clearer...a picture was shown.

"Cally...find me..." The picture had shown a figure and it vanished out of sight. Soon Calista woke up with a rushing dream in her head.

/The yume...the yume was about.../ Calista shook her head with exhaustion and thinking so she began to sleep again...knowing that the dream was about Armella.
