Chapter 18
Flashback
Hikan's POV
Why? Why must everyone fear me? I don't do anything wrong, I just do what I'm told... Am I doing the right thing?
"Don't worry of what they say, you're doing the right thing." that's what Saito said, he said that to me before he left with the other members, the "future" CPU's of Gamindustri, I don't understand, if the CPU's are supposed to be goddesses then why did they not help me! My life as nothing but torture! I punched the side of the wall leaving a hole in it, a bunch of group members rushed into the room,
"Hikan! Calm down!" one of them said and held my arms,
"Get off of me!" I yelled and I kicked his feet out from under him, another member tried to restrain me, but was unable to and I flipped him over my shoulder,
"Hikan stop!" another person yelled, I grabbed my sword and held it close to me, these bastards can't do anything to me, I grabbed another person and held his head to my sword,
"Get out of here..." I warned and threw him to the others, they quickly left the room and shut the door, leaving me alone with my thoughts, I sat down on the bed and clutched my fists, No-one knows how I am, no-one knows what I went through, I looked over at my window and saw a woman standing there, or at least I thought it was a women, the figure looked like one, I gave her that cold stare like I usually give everyone, she turned away from the glass and left, I went back to staring at the floor, Saito is the one that saved me, if I never meant him then I would probably be dead.
I sat there for a good thirty minutes, then the door opened and Saito walked in, he looked at the wall with a hole in it then looked back at me,
"Hikan... you know better than that." He scolded, he was really like a father,
"I apologize, but Saito am I really doing this stuff right?" I asked, Saito walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder,
"Hikan, we're doing this for Gamindustri, the CPU's are too worried about the war they have going on between them, if we take over, we'll see to a better world, I promise you." Saito said, I looked up at him, he's right, the CPU's time is up, and it has always been like that ever since that damn war started. "Come on, we're moving locations to the Lastation hideout." Saito also said before walking out of the room, I followed quickly after and I caught a glance at Leanbox's future CPU, Nagana.
"Just because we're gonna be ruling Gamindustri, doesn't mean we're done yet." I said to him, he smiled at me,
"I'm looking forward to it." He said, I hated this guy, just the look he gave me made me sick.
"Keep your shit together you two, wait until we get this all done and over with." Kinoshita said, I looked away from him and started to walk forward, I opened the secret passage to our hideout and went through it until I got outside.
Saito's POV
Hikan sure is a dangerous person, controlling him is something that I can barely do, but once we get to Lastation, I will be able to stop this fighting, Hikan has something that none of us have, elemental power, if we can extract that from him, then we can fight the CPU's,
"What will you do with Hikan?" The girl beside me asked, I looked over, she was about Hikan's age, she was fifthteen years old,
"We will make sure that he is controlled, we have a device that will allow him to control hos power." I said to her, she gave me a worried look,
"It won't kill him will it?" she said, I looked at her again, she really liked Hikan, it wasn't that hard to tell,
"Don't worry Shizuki, it won't kill him, we are simply adding something to him." I said, she looked at me with that same worried look, she joined the saviors right after I brought Hikan in, and she has been looking after him ever since.
"But, Hikan is already hurt as it is, his power grows the more angry he is." Shizuki said, she really is worried about him.
"Shizuki, Hikan will be fine, I promise, now get ready to leave, You and Hikan will be the first ones out." I said, she smiled and nodded,
End of Flashback
"What?" I said in shock,
"My name is Shizuki." The girl stated, Shizuki... It doesn't remind me of anything, no headaches either,
"Sorry, but I don't know anything." I said while putting my hands up, the girl sighed and looked at me again,
"It's probably better if you don't remember..." Shizuki said, I looked out the window, I saw the beautiful city of Leanbox, the buildings weren't as big as Planeptune's, but they were decent size, the whole city was green, everywhere you looked there had to be green, if not green then white, I couldn't see much from this apartment window, but if this is supposed to be like the Planeptune and Lastation, then I can only guess that the city was big, oh that's right!
"Hey, I need to go, some of my friends are out of Leanbox and I need to go find them." I said, Shizuki looked at me and her face turned into a shocked look, "I'll see you later." I said and I opened the door to her apartment,
"Wait!" she yelled, I was about to shut the door, I turned back and looked at her,
"Hmm? What's up?" I asked, and she averted her gaze from mine again,
"Do... You mind if... I... went with you?" She muttered, I turned my full body around,
"Yeah, you can come with me, Let's go." I said holding the door open for her, she blushed and walked out the door, I followed close behind and shut the door behind us.
Nagana's POV
So close and yet so far, I have the CPU of Planeptune as my captive, and I can take two of them if I want, I will not lose to "him", he cannot beat me, no matter how strong he is, there will always be an adversary to him,
"Hey! Can't you give me a portable console or something, I'm bored!" Purple Heart said, I looked over to where she was held, a cell made from the energy of the "Anti-crystals".
"No matter how many times you ask, No, you cannot have any fun." I said, she keeps asking me this over and over, I thought she would never stop,
"You just wait until Hikan gets here, he'll whup your butt like no tomorrow!" she also said, I chuckled a bit,
"Hikan Masato is not to be trusted, he never told you his past did he?" I said, she shook her head,
"He told me everything about his past, he was never loved by his parents and they treated him like dirt!" she yelled,
"Oh, so he left out the other parts?" I said, she tilted her head,
"What other parts, I doubt that my Hikan would lie." he's been lying ever since he met you,
"Hikan was part of the saviors before the 'incident'." I said, her eyes opened wide,
"No way! Hikan would never be with you!" she yelled while flailing her arms above her head, wait a second,
"Where is your other hair clip?" I asked, she looked at me with a shocked expression and started to touch around her hair,
"What?! Oh no it's gone! That was a rare item!" She said and she started to search the ground, I stood there with a surprised, what is with this girl?
"I would love to talk about it, but I think I should leave." I said as I got up and left the room, I shut the door behind me and walked down the hall, Hikan will soon hear about this, and no doubt he will be here, that voice in his head will let him know,
"Nagana, where is the prisoner?" a man said, I almost ran into him, he was the leader of the saviors and the strongest out of all of us,
"She's in the cell room down the hall, door to the left." I responded, he moved past me and started walking down the hall, "Hey, what will happen when Hikan comes here, you know what will happen." I said, he looked back and smiled,
"Then we'll take care of it." he said before turning back, I started to walk in the opposite direction, I guess I'll take a walk around Leanbox for a bit, No-one knows I'm one of them, and even if they did they don't know what I look like.
Hikan's POV
Me and Shizuki walked down the path to the camp, we were out of Leanbox and were making our way towards the camp, the entire walk was speechless, Shizuki didn't say anything and neither did I,
"Are we almost there?" Shizuki asked, I turned my head and looked at her,
"Almost, it should be up ahead." I said, she nodded, we walked up the hill and I saw the camp, but no-one was there, where did they go? I walked over to where the fire was, it was put out a while ago,
"Hikan what is it?" Shizuki said, I turned and looked at her and saw that she had a worried expression on her face,
"This is our camp, but they're not here." I said and I got up and looked around the area, I guess they left for Leanbox, but we would've seen them if that was the case, unless they took a different path, I wonder where they went?
"Hikan what's that over there?" Shizuki said, I got up and looked to where she was pointing, we both walked over to see what it was, in a bush was a white d-pad hair clip, it looked like Neptune's, wait... No it can't be! I picked it up and examined it more, there's no doubt about it, this is Neptune's hair clip,
"Neptune!" I yelled and only got an echo, something happened here, and it might've been my fault,
"Hikan, don't yell so suddenly like that!" Shizuki said holding her ears, I ran ahead through the bushes and down the paths, I heard Shizuki yell "wait" behind me, but I couldn't, I kept running, where could they be?!
"Neptune! IF! Compa!" I yelled, nothing, Shizuki ran up behind me,
"Hikan!" She yelled, I turned around and gave her my concerned look, she understood right away,
"We'll find them okay?" she said as she walked up and put her hand on my shoulder, I couldn't help but be angry at myself, if I was back there, I would have been able to stop whoever took them, dammit!
"I'll find whoever did this..." I said, I held Neptune's hair clip in my hand and tightened my grip on it, whoever did this was going to pay,
IF's POV
I finally made it to Leanbox, there's no time to wait, I started towards the guild, I needed to know where everyone was, Hikan, Nep, Compa, we're all separated now,
"Gh!" I grunted as I fell on one knee, damn that Nagana, he got a poison dart on me when Nep separated us with that attack,
"Are you alright?" Someone said, I looked up and saw a boy, he had a green hoodie and and some jeans with a green belt wrapped around,
"I need to find my friends." I said as I tried to get up, I ended up falling again, but he caught me this time,
"I'll take you to the guild, I believe I found one of them." He said as he lended me his shoulder,
"Thank you." I said and he flashed me a smile,
"Everyone needs a savior once in a while." he said, I blushed a little bit,
We eventually made it to the guild, when we walked inside, I was surprised to see Compa there as well,
"Iffy!" she yelled as she came and clung to me,
"There you are Compa, I was worried that you were still wandering around." I said returning her embrace, the boy came up next to us,
"I see I was right about you two being friends." he said, I looked at him, he sounded familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it, "Tell me, who are the other friends you were talking about?" He also said,
"One is a guy, his name is Hikan Masato, he has red hair and eyes that match that color, the other is a girl named Neptune, I call her Nep for short, she has short lilac colored hair and she has two d-pad hair clips." I told him, he thought for a moment then looked at me,
"Alright, I'll let the CPU of Leanbox know." He said as he turned away, wait how can he do that?!
"How can you do that?!" I said surprised, he turned and smiled at me again,
"Of course I can, I am her assistant after all." he said before walking out of the guild, something's not right, Hikan is still nowhere to be seen, and Nep got kidnapped by Nagana, someone planned this, but who could've done it?
Hikan's POV
We were now back at Leanbox and I was walking with my hood up and my hands in my pockets, Neptune was missing and so were the others, I don't know where they could be, Shizuki was walking close to me,
"Hey, what you gonna do now?" Saito said in my head,
"I'm going to find the person who did this and kill him." I said, my anger was boiling,
"Man, someone is really pissed." Saito said, I don't care what Saito says, I will find the person who did this,
We were now back at Shizuki's apartment and we were on our way to her room, she was leading the way while I followed close behind her, she stopped and turned around,
"Hikan, are you alright?" she asked, I looked at her and gave a reassuring smile,
"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry." I said even though I wasn't, I hated this feeling, this anger, I needed to clear my head, "Hey Shizuki, I'm gonna go to the guild, I gonna do some quests." I said, she looked at me with a concerned look,
"Alright, do you want me to come with you?" She asked, I shook my head, I'd rather go on my own,
"No, not this time, sorry." I said, she sighed a little then looked up at me,
"It's fine, just come back safe." she said and she smiled at me, I turned around and walked back down the stairs, I needed to find out who did this,
On my way to the guild, I felt like I was being watched, everywhere I turned there was nothing, but I felt like I was being watched, where could it be coming from?
"Ah, here it is." I said to myself as I walked toward the guild, I opened the doors and was greeted by two usual faces,
"IF, Compa!" I shouted, they both turned toward me and their faces turned into looks of relief, but Neptune wasn't with them
"Hikan!" Compa yelled as she ran up and clung to me, she started to cry into my chest, IF walked up and she held her hand over her chest letting out a deep breath,
"Thank god, I thought they got you too." IF said, "they"?
"Wait, IF why do you think that?" I asked, she looked at me for a second, then turned her head away, No... NO!
"Nep-Nep was kidnapped by the bad people." Compa said as she looked up at me.
"IF... is this true..." I said while trying to control my anger, she nodded, I felt my blood boil, I clutched my fists so hard that they started bleeding, those damn saviors,
"I know which one did it too." IF said, did she the kidnappers name?
"What was the persons name." I said, the name she said, it almost made me lose it.
"Nagana." she said...
A/N: Hikan now knows the culprits name and he is pissed! will he be able to save Nep or will he die trying? stay tuned next time on Dragon Ball Z! Oh wrong anime... I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, I know it's a little short, but there have been some personal things going on, and it keeps me from writing, but there will NOT be a chapter on Friday.
