Hanabi stood in the cafeteria looking around for some food, they were completely out of sugar doughnuts which was Hanabi's favorite food. It wasn't long before Naomi walked in the room, Naomi froze when she saw Hanabi. Hanabi looked over at Naomi, she glared and went back to searching for food. "Hey," Naomi said, Hanabi didn't respond, "You look great."
"Shut up. Stop trying to act like you care about me." She then turned and folded her arms, "I won't forgive you, you are not my mother, you aren't even family. So just stop trying with me, you're getting nowhere." Naomi sighed,
"Hanabi...I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I hurt you. We were just-"
"What? Afraid? Yeah I know that."
"No, we just didn't know what to do." She said, "We were only planning on having one child, and then you came along and everything changed."
"Really? You didn't know what to do? Why not love me? Why not actually raise me instead of keeping me downstairs in the cold basement?!" Hanabi then left the cafeteria and went straight to her room. Naomi sighed, she then went and sat down and rested her face in her hands.
"I am the absolute worst parent..." she said to herself
"Maybe she needs some space." Hikaru's voice came,
"You mean more than we've already given her?"
"Well this is all new to her. Put yourself in her position. She just needs to unwind."
"If you say so." She sighed and then ran her fingers through her hair,
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes," she said, "I've been working on the reanimation chamber to bring you back...but it's been so long that I feel like I'm going backwards instead of forwards."
"I'm sorry."
"It's fine, I'll figure out it eventually." She said, "I don't know how long I can keep this up."
"Keep what up?"
"Pretending like I'm not hurt by Hanabi's words. We hurt her terribly, and now she's wanting to stay as far away from us as possible and I've tried to patch things up. She just ignores me and often storms off like an emotional teenager." She shook her head, "It pains me to know that we did this too her..."
Haruo found himself in the storage room looking through some old things. He found his baby stuff and started to dig through it, he found some photo albums, he took one out and started to look through it. He saw lots of pictures of him as a baby, some pictures of him and his mom, and others of him and his dad. He smiled and then went to the next photo album, the next one was everything after his first birthday. He placed that album aside and he found a stuffed bear, it was Winnie the Pooh which his mother was absolutely obsessed with. He went through more boxes until he found a black album, he grabbed it and started to look through it. His jaw dropped, it was the start of a baby album for Hanabi. He quickly closed the album and put it on his pile that he had gathered. He gathers up the photo albums and the Winnie the Pooh and he made his way back to his bedroom. He walked in on Yuko cradling Haruka on the bed, Yuko looked up at him. "Hey," She said with a smile.
"Hey, i went digging through the storage that my mom told me about." He then handed the Pooh Bear to Yuko.
"Awww how cute, she'll love it." Yuko said taking the bear.
"I also found my baby albums,"
"Let me See." Yuko said, she stood up and put Haruka in her cradle and went became to Haruo, she took one of the baby albums from him and opened it up, "Oh my goodness..."
"Yeah..."
"Look at those cute little cheeks!!!"
Haruo set down his other book, he then left the room with Hanabi's baby book. He then walked down the hall and he bumped into Miana, "Oh, hey didn't see you there." Miana looked up at him and swallowed nervously, "You okay?"
"Yep. Fine."
"Cool, I'll see you around then." He pat Miana on the shoulder and then walked past her, he then made it to Hanabi's room, he walked inside and quickly closed his eyes.
"Dude I'm changing!" Hanabi said,
"Sorry,"
"Would it kill you to knock?" Hanabi asked pulling a shirt on,
"No, but I found something."
"Hold on, let me get some pants on first." She grabbed some pants off the dresser and she then put them on. "Alright, what's up?" He then opens his eyes, "Well?"
"I found this." He handed her the baby book, she raised an eyebrow and took it. She then opened the book and looked at it,
"Dude, did you steal this baby book from somewhere?"
"No," he said, "Hanabi, that's your baby book."
"No, it's not." She said closing it,
"Yes it is." Haruo then opened up the book, he showed her a date on the first page, "This is three years after I was born, and look, April 21st, I'm guessing that's your birthday."
"It is." She said, "But why would mom and dad even care to make me a baby book?"
"Probably because you're their daughter and they wanted to have memories of you." He looked her in the eyes, "Look, you may think that they hate you, but really they care about you. This book proves it."
"It proves nothing." She said shoving the book into his stomach, "It just proves that they're obsessed with baby pictures."
"Hanabi, listen to me. Even if they don't care now then they used to care about you. Why can't you accept that?!"
"BECAUSE NO ONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT ME!!!!" She said clenching her fists, "I HAVE LIVED MY WHOLE LIFE ALONE!!!! I WAS FED THREE TIMES A DAY IN THE BASEMENT AND NOTHING ELSE!!! I NEVER GOT ANY TOYS OR ANY PLAYTIME WITH MY PARENTS!!!"
"I care about you."
"..." she paused as her face turned red with anger, "Get out of my face! And take this with you!" She handed him the book. He sighed and took the book, on his way out he subtly put the book on the desk next to the door. He walked down the hall to the command center, he looked around and saw Kairi sitting upfront pushing some buttons and stuff.
"Kairi." He said, Kairi spun around, Haruo frowned at her arm in a cast.
"What?"
"Are you up to anything?"
"Not really, just been looking for these Genesis Chambers."
"Any luck?"
"No." Kairi sighed, "Look, I don't blame you for Umika's death. Umika moved unpredictably. I also don't blame you for my broken arm either."
"Thanks. I know Kazuya is taking it pretty hard."
"Well, wether he was willing to admit it or not Kazuya loved her."
"Yeah, I know."
"Did you know about mine and Umika's relationship?"
"No, I didn't know you two were involved?"
"Well, it wasn't a romantic relationship." Kairi said, "Our relation is that Umika and I are half sisters."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Umika didn't know, and my family decided t was best that she didn't know. So she stayed with her dad and his new girlfriend." Kairi sighed, "I wish I could've told her before it was too late."
"Yeah, losing siblings and relatives hurts."
"Yeah, I just feel bad for X though. He lost his son."
"Wait, you know about X's son?"
"Yeah, he told me about him." Kairi then smirked, "Of course I didn't believe him when he told me who it was. And I doubt you will either."
"Who is it?"
"It's the old priest himself. Metphies."
"No." Haruo said in shock, "You're kidding me right?"
"I'm not. He even had me do bloodwork on him so I would believe him. It's a match."
"Do you have the paperwork on it?"
"Yeah."
"Give it to me. All of it."
"What are you going to do?"
"Something that I'm going to regret. But at the same time enjoy." Kairi then spun and reached under her seat. She grabbed a file with paperwork and handed it to Haruo, Haruo took it and looked through it. "So his wife was an Exif named June?"
"Yes. He didn't tell me about her."
"I see." He said, "Can you pull up an Exif data base? One that would have knowledge on the members of the race?"
"I can try," she spun and pulled a keyboard out switching the large screen to computer mode. She started to search as best she could with one hand, she eventually pulled stuff up. "I've got it,"
"Look for June."
"Okay," she typed in June's name, "June, she was researcher. She was the single Exif that was responsible for making KG-1"
Haruo then remembered his dream, something about KG-1. "KG-1, What is it?"
"An artificially made creature, but due to its three heads and pure size it belongs to a family of interplanetary creatures known as Ghidorah." Haruo froze, the word Ghidorah echoed in his mind and sent chills down his spine. Kairi pulled up some images, "There's not much, just some black holes and silhouette images of the heads." Haruo looked at it, he grit his teeth at the sheer size of it. "According to this, June is still alive. She must be in orbit with the rest of the humans."
"Alright, Thank you." He then turned and left. "So June is still on the Aratrum...this seems like the perfect opportunity."
Within a few hours Haruo had located X behind a waterfall. Haruo walked over to X and folded his arms. "X."
"So you found me." X said turning and facing Haruo, "What do you want now?"
"It's simple," Haruo said, "I want you dead."
"Wow, that was subtle. Truly." X smirked, "I believe you want me dead. But there's nothing you can do."
"Oh really?" Haruo smirked, "I've got news for you X, it's about your son."
"He's dead, that's not news."
"No, but what's news is that I'm the one who killed him. I did it with my bare hands too. Don't worry I gave him a quick and painless death." X grit his teeth, X then charged him at a fast speed, "I better not mention June either." X then froze right in front of Haruo's face, wind blew past the both of them.
"What?"
"June. She's on the Aratrum. Which is currently in Earth's orbit." Haruo smirked, "Of course, she won't be around for much longer now will she?" X swallowed hard, Haruo then felt something evil come over him. He closed his eyes, when he opened them they were white. He smirked. In space the Aratrum stood in Earth's orbit, it had run low on fuel so they couldn't travel anywhere.
The captain, Unberto Mori looked out the window. He gasped as flames formed in the space beneath them. Suddenly Ghidorah appeared out of the flames. "What the hell...?" He said,
"Captain Mori! We need to do something!" A woman said to him. He took a few deep breaths, he then closed his eyes.
"No." The captain said with a sigh, "This is it, humanity has lost. We came this far...only to realize we've been put in our place." He turned and faced her, "The human race was never real, it was just some fantasy that we told our children about to give them hope. There's nothing left to fight for." The woman sighed, "I'm sorry June, there's nothing more we can do." June lowered her head.
"I see..." she pulled a green gem out of her pocket, she then placed a green stone on it. The gem lit up.
"What's that?"
"Something I deleoped, KG-1."
"KG-1?"
"Yes, I created it. The deity of the Exif race, also known as Ghidorah. I've summoned it."
"What?! Are you insane?!"
"No," she then looked up and glare intensely in his eyes, "I'm advanced." With that the Ghidorah outside tore the ship to pieces with its Gravity Beams.
On Earth Haruo smirked, "Now I've taken everything from you."
"What the hell are you?!" X asked gritting his teeth,
"Me?" He then chuckled, Ghidorah's gravity energy surged in Haruo's fist. He then punched X in the chest sending X flying onto his back, "I'm what's hiding under your bed." Haruo then grabbed X by the collar and then he punched him in the face, "I'm what's lurking in the night!" He then threw X against the wall, "I'm what keeps you up at night!" He then thrusted his fists forward, gravity beams shot from his fists and grabbed X and then held him in the air, "I'm your baby brother, and I'm your worst nightmare." He then turned and threw X, "You have nothing now! Your son is dead! Your wife is dead!"
X then stood up and faced Haruo, "I'm going to kill you." X said, Haruo smirked and wiped the corner of his mouth.
"Take your shot." X then charged Haruo, X threw a punch and Haruo quickly moved out of the way, he struck X in the side and then sent an uppercut to X's jaw. X flew backwards and landed hard on his back. Haruo winced, he blinked a few times, soon his eyes returned to normal as did his personality. X then stood up and looked over at Haruo.
"Well, What now? You've clearly won."
"It's far from over X." Haruo rubbed his head not knowing what just happened. Haruo then walked past X and started to walk back to the ship. Soon Haruo started to get a call on his communicator, he placed his ear on the communicator, "Hello?"
"Haruo..." a very shaky voice came,
"Yuko. What's up?"
"The Aratrum...humanity...my mom..."
"What about them?"
"They're gone Haruo..."
"What...?"
"It's been destroyed...everyone else is dead..."
"No..." Haruo's face went pale. He froze.
"We're the only ones left..."
"Hey...I gotta go, I'll talk to you when I get back on the ship."
"Okay..."
Haruo then removed his finger hanging up. Haruo clenched his fists, he then let out a massive scream. He then calmed down, and ran his fingers through his hair. Humanity was gone, Haruo had nothing else to think about now. And now he felt as if it was his fault somehow.
