(Saturday - Noon)

"Yo! We're here!" Nagumo shouted from outside, once the door had opened he was quick to step inside, as usual.

"We came as soon as we could," Suzuno adds, following right behind Nagumo. It wasn't easy making a quick journey from their place to here, but they had managed due to the urgency. As well as hearing (empty) threats from Saginuma over the phone to get here as soon as possible.

"So, what the hell do you need us for again? Something about Hiroto?" Nagumo asks, his gaze already trying to find that other red head he had become familiar with.

Midorikawa gave a slight nod as he went to stand beside Saginuma. His gazed shifted between those that were now in his home. It took him a moment to gather his words so he could give a proper answer while keeping his emotions at bay.

"Yes, he's...sort of been kidnapped."

"What?!" Suzuno and Nagumo shouted, in sync with each other.

"Before you ask any questions," Saginuma interrupts, seeing as they were both eager to throw in a comment or two about the situation (it was Nagumo who looked as if he were about to spew out the most questions). "Let us explain what we can. Ryuuji?"

"Yes..." The man clears his throat, a bit nervous as to how they would react to the news. "Hiroto...isn't exactly human. And it may seem weird to say this, but he's an alien. I'm sure that you've heard about my boss claiming to have this alien spaceship and is looking for the owner of said spaceship. It just so happens to be Hiroto, or I guess I should say Gran as thats his real name. Some things happened- I'm still not sure how he managed to talk to Gran all this time- and now...he has him."

"That is what we believe. Gran had asked for my assistance before leaving to meet with Kenzaki. Sadly, I could not do much aside from come here once everything had already happened." Saginuma lets out a sigh. "He did an honorable deed, sacrificing himself for Ryuuji's safety. It might be a long shot, but we wanted to know if you two would be willing to help us out."

"That's a lot of information..." Nagumo mutters, scratching his head for a moment. He could hardly believe that Hiroto had been an alien. If the moment weren't so serious, he would have made a comment about how cool that was.

"Hmm..." Suzuno had gone quiet, lost in his thoughts, mulling over what had been said. "You know, I sort of guessed he was one." He points out, causing the others in the room to turn their heads to him and give him a confused and shocked look; meanwhile he acts as if he hadn't said anything strange at all. He merely looks over to Nagumo. "You never figured it out, Haruya?"

"Huh? What?" He shook his head. "How the hell was I supposed to guess that?"

"Wait, Fuusuke, how did you even...consider he was an alien?" Midorikawa asks.

"He gave off a really strange vibe. I can't really put a name to it, but I've seen it before." He pauses for a moment, glancing to Nagumo. "He has to."

Nagumo, for once, doesn't make a comment about it. It takes him a second to understand what Suzuno had been mentioning and he'd rather not say anything on that matter...yet.

"What are you two talking about?" Saginuma asks, his voice growing impatient as the two have now grown quiet after hinting at knowing extraterrestrials. "If you're withholding information about aliens and anything relating to Gran, now is the time to spit it out."

Suzuno lets out a sigh, figuring he would have to be the one to speak for the two. "You see...we sort of have met with other life forms before." He admits while looking to Saginuma and Midorikawa. "It's the reason we're so quiet about our job."

"Yeah. No one's going to believe us if we told them we're working under a crazy guy to find aliens or something like that." Nagumo huffs while rolling his eyes.

"Crazy guy?" Midorikawa asks. "What crazy guy works in our- Kenzaki?" He takes that guess, which is correct as they both nod.

"Yes. I don't know how, but somehow he manages to find other life forms and get them into our atmosphere. We're one of the few who find them and..." Suzuno paused not wanting to continue that bit.

"...conduct experiments on them." But, Nagumo finishes his statement. "It's not really a fun thing to do..."

"But why is he doing that?" Saginuma asks while putting a hand on Midorikawa, noting that his thoughts were getting the better of him, possibly growing even more worried over the now captured alien. "He claims to find an alien for the first time in years and yet he has before? Not to mention that he is not authorized for allowing such things to happen to them. It doesn't make any sense!"

"He said it was to draw him, Gran, out," Suzuno replied. "Other than that, I just know that whatever alien or any life form that isn't human, he wants. He's never given us a direct answer as to why he wants them. The best answer we've gotten out of him was 'it's for scientific purposes'. We've seen him push them to their limits and it is not a pretty sight due to said purposes." He shivers to some memories of grotesque alien experiments. He never really wanted to do such things, but he didn't have much of a choice, neither did Nagumo.

"It gets really gross. So, if he has his hands on Hiroto-"

"Gran," Suzuno corrects.

"-now, then he'll probably be doing the same experiments on him. Guess we would have found out sooner or later he was one if he ended up in Kenzaki's grasp," Nagumo points out.

"Then...we have to go and save him," Midorikawa finally speaks up. "We can't let him do...any of those experiments to him." He would ask what they did, but by the look on their faces, not even they were happy to even mention it. Besides, he had a feeling if he even heard some of the experiments (which he could imagine were like those gore filled horror movies now painted with blue instead of red blood in his mind) he'd feel sick to his stomach.

"You seriously want to go and save that alien?" Nagumo asked. "Shit, we are definitely going to get fired at this rate..." That might be a good thing at this point.

"Gran means a lot to him. And vice versa I believe," Suzuno comments while looking to Midorikawa. "Besides that, we can help. We know where he is and what he's...probably doing. Depending on when Gran was taken, we should be able to make it in time to stop before anything extreme happens."

"You know, an alien rescue mission does sound pretty cool," Nagumo says with a grin, finding the thought completely amusing. "And I doubt Osamu would let us say no now..."

"You're exactly right on that, Haruya," Saginuma said. "But, before we go, we have to know exactly what we're going to have to deal with and devise a plan."

(Saturday - ?)

The first thing he had seen when his consciousness began to stir was a bright light shining down upon him. Gran had to blink a few times, turn his head so he could adjust to the bright lighting. He tried to raise a hand to help block the light, but found his hand, both of them, being tied down to something. The same with his feet as he tried to lift them up. It seemed that moving was not an option for him at the moment.

While squinting under this light, the alien lifted his head, a pain passing through him as he did (had he been struck there to knock him out? He couldn't remember). From what he was able to see was his body resting upon a metal table, his wrists and ankles were bound with some metal latches that made it impossible to squeeze or even free himself from.

Panic begins to rise and he could feel his heart thumping against his chest, it even sounds like its echoing throughout the room. If he stays calm, all will be fine. He hopes. Gran steadies his breathing, doing his best to remain calm and composed. He had a feeling what was going to happen to him and taking a look around the room only strengthened his guess.

It's not any kind of home, he's quickly able to deduce that. There are cabinets filled with...medicines? Medical supplies, he assumes from his view. There are some posters on the wall with details about the human- alien body (that looked similar to his). There's even a small table beside him, scissors, needles, and other unidentifiable equipment resting upon it. The other parts of the room, which he assumes is similar to a hospital one, he's unable to make out due to it being dimly lit, the only source of light was the one shining down upon him.

Gran fears for the conclusion that he's drawn is true. The alien had been bolted down on an operating table, stuck in an operating room by that vile human. Thankfully, he didn't seem to be around.

"Ah, so you're finally awake."

Or perhaps he had thought that too soon.

"It's you..." Gran glares at the man as he walks in, instinctively beginning to try and move under his restraints. Kenzaki is sporting a rather confident, proud smile as he walks over to Gran's side. His eyes are wandering over his body before a hand reaches out and rests on the alien's chest.

"Oh my, someone seems to be frightened," the human remarks, noting how the alien's heartbeat quickens to that. "I'm glad your so similar to humans, makes it easier to tell what your thinking."

"I didn't know I'd be like this for you..." Gran replies, trying to keep a cool composure, even if the other is aware of his current fearful state. "I thought you wanted to show me off to the human world? Put me on display?"

"Show off a great being such as yourself?" He asks in a mocking tone. "No, no, I could never do that. If I show you, an alien, to the world, I'll lose you. Other despicable humans would begin clawing their way, fighting to get you before I could even manage to tie you up like this. Please, anyone who boasts about finding an alien is a fool."

After stating that, he pulls his hand away before grabbing one of the scissors on the table. Gran's eyes widen for a moment before quickly shutting them out of fear. This only amuses the human, causing him to laugh.

"You silly creature. I'm not going to plunge these into you yet." Kenzaki pushes the blade against the fabric of his clothing, though makes sure the blade is fairly close to the alien's skin. Only his clothing is cut, no marks left on the alien.

"You could have just taken it off beforehand..." Gran points out. Though, he doesn't like the idea of lying nude on a table like this for him. Just being tied down here was bad enough.

"Believe me, that thought crossed my mind, but I prefer inducing fear into my aliens." The man hums as he continues to snip away at whatever clothing he can. Already his shirt had been cut open, revealing the alien's bare chest. "It never ceases to surprise me how human your kind is. So alike on the outside, yet so different on the inside."

"What do you mean by that?" Gran asks warily, trying to look at the human rather than his handiwork. "You...You've never seen one of my people before."

"On the contrary, I have." He points over to a poster, one with details of his alien kind (no wonder it resembled his). "I'd be willing to show you my notes, but I can't let you go free. Nor do I want to ruin the surprise I have in store for you."

"Wait, you have seen them...and done this before?"

"I have, many times actually. Your people aren't all that smart," he boasts with a chuckle. "Not a single one of you have managed to stop my signal from temporarily shutting down your ships. Who knew alien technology could be so easily penetrated?"

"You're the reason I crashed..." Gran's eyes widen to that, his mind going back to when he had passed by this planet. No wonder he had loss control of his ship unexpectedly. It was all thanks to him.

"Looks like you can put things together." He lets out a sigh, setting his scissors aside after cutting into a part of Gran's pants. "I would have had you sooner if that cursed boy hadn't gotten to you beforehand. You're lucky I kept away for so long. I would have thought Ryuuji would have thrown you out in fear that a hostile alien may have killed him." Kenzaki shrugs. "Oh well, I should consider myself lucky. You were kept close to me instead of running away."

"Don't speak of him like that..." The alien glares at him. "Aren't you going to keep your word?"

"I'm not going to kill him, that should be good enough for you. Getting rid of humans are much more difficult and time consuming than you think. But, it truly is a shame I can't say the same for you."

"What do you mean?"

"You aliens always ask so many questions. I suppose I should give you an answer. You see...I need something from inside you. Your kind from Eclissus have a unique ability. One that I have learned is quite rare and that you posses." He waits for the other to fill it in and lets out an aggravated sigh when he doesn't. "You're healing ability. I've only encountered one other that was able to do so. I looked inside her and oh, it was a gold mine. There was a unique organ inside of her, the one that radiated with life. I just had to take it from her and keep it for myself, see if I could apply that same ability to myself and more. I won't bore you with the details on what I did, but I'm sure you know what happened to her from such a procedure."

"You monster..." She died.

"Yes, it was very...unfortunate that she did not survive. Nor did the others, but they were worthless to me. I was looking forward to having more of the same, yet each alien was a failure. Until you came along."

"Why do you want it? You can't use it." How could a human use an alien organ? Not even he knew that it could be altered in some other way, then again those of his planets never tried to dissect each other for such power.

"Actually, I can. It just takes a bit of science to take whats yours and adjust it to mine. With the last one, I made a serum that replicated your healing abilities. It didn't last long, sadly. But the effects were the same as yours, or so I believe. This time, I've decided, I'll try a different method. One that will be more permanent and perhaps even grant me more life."

Gran just has a disgusted look on his face to Kenzaki's eerie smile. "How do you know it'll work if you've never done this new...procedure before?"

"Oh, perhaps it will, perhaps it won't. I'll find a way, don't worry, your ability will be put to good use." The man chuckles before beginning to fiddle with his tools on the table. "Enough talk, I believe it's time for me to take what is rightfully mine."

a/n: I hope this chapter came out alright;; I was a little worried with the dialogue in both sections, but anyway finally the Chaos duo's jobs were revealed! hope that was a surprise~
