Chapter Eighty Four
Shocking Discovery Part Two
Orb Headquarters-Medical Briefing Room
Lacus took her seat in the front.
"We have called you here for one reason and one reason only, we have your answers," the lead doctor told them seriously.
All were ready as the briefing had begun.
The doctors and researchers placed several scans on the projections as they decided to deal with the pill issues first.
"As you can see, from the substances you have brought us we have pulled and combined all our data together as we have found their purpose," the lead doctor replied.
Cagalli looked up, "I just need to know one thing."
"I will get to everything Lady Cagalli, please be patient," the doctor replied.
Lacus was truly interested in this, "Can you first give Kira's condition?"
Some inside were still edgy on that subject as he through confused looks to Lacus, however from what the doctor had saw it looks like he wouldn't get to do this the way they planned.
"His situation hasn't gotten any better, in fact it has gotten worse," the doctor replied.
"That's why he wants his pills correct?" Athrun asked.
"That there is the key, the answer is yes and no…now please let me go on," the doctor replied.
All went silent as they listened.
"The pills you see are by far the most chemically constructed substances I have ever seen, after constant study they only affect the brain area," the doctor told them.
"What are they for?" Athrun asked.
"They serve in a variety of ways," the doctor replied as they went on.
"For starters they work to push aggressive behavior to higher levels but they also have a stronger purpose," the doctor replied, "This was something that was throwing us off for awhile but after monitoring him and tests we believe we have it, as well what Miss Clyne has reported to use about his behavior and else we believe we have it."
All personal quickly glanced over at Lacus as their eyes resifted back to the front.
Lacus knew she kept this from people but she wanted answers first and now she was going to get them.
"I was told that this patient suffered from massive headaches and nightmares correct?" the doctor asked.
All that knew Kira remembered well, he suffered a lot of trauma from the past war.
"Your saying these pills work to take that pain away, we know that," Cagalli replied.
"No Lady Cagalli, you are partially right however they only do that for a certain time…these pills work as delays, they will stop the pain for short periods of time however they also serve as an agent to reactivate the pain in the same areas, each time a little stronger then the last from what we believe," the doctor reported.
That was certainly interesting, "So you're saying," Cagalli said.
"At first I was stunned by this for some reason, why make pills that stop the effect only to reactivate it later, that through me at first as well," the doctor replied.
"What about what he is going through now?" Athrun asked.
The doctor looked at him, "Those are the symptoms of withdrawal, the effects of the pills stay in his system for long periods of time the longer he goes without him the more they attack that function in the brain that is creating the massive amounts of pain he is going through."
"Why would he take these if they did this to him?" Andrew asked.
"I don't truly think he knows what he is taking all he knows is that for at least awhile it helps him," the doctor replied.
Cagalli stood up, "You're saying the chairman is using these to control him…that doesn't…" Cagalli said but was cut off.
"Don't get to far ahead…Let me first explain the issue of your former friend.
"You are just saying that these cause him pain but how would that explain how he got the way he did?" Cagalli asked.
"Lady Cagalli, with all due respect sit down," the doctor said.
Athrun pulled her lightly down as they were getting to far ahead.
"After fully examining your friend what you are saying through me off a lot however after running countless tests we found nothing…that was until Miss Lacus gave me a report of something that broke this case and gave me something to look for," the doctor said.
Athrun and Cagalli looked at Lacus again as she didn't explain any of this to them, but she must have had her reasons.
Mu was in the back listening as he was trying to put pieces together and he thinks he might have it.
"After Miss Clyne gave me her report we were sending her in daily to try and see the same effects but it wasn't until the last time that we got the reading we saw," the doctor said as Lacus stood up.
"What is he talking about Lacus?" Cagalli asked.
"When Kira was shot down I was there with him, he had a strict hold of me but never finished me as the Orb forces arrived and surrounded us," Lacus said.
All were listening as something was truly going on they didn't know about.
"When we were surrounded Kira had a hold of me as I noticed that his grip was loosening on me, I looked into his eyes as I haven't seen that in a long time…they looked completely calm but conflicted, when the sniper fired that shot really would have struck me but he pushed me out of the way…I hit the ground and as I looked back up his eyes had returned to that hatred of how we currently know him," Lacus replied going on.
"What are you saying Lacus?" Cagalli asked clearly.
"I was confused as well which is why I went to ask him the important question of why he did it," Lacus replied.
"What did he say?" Athrun replied.
"That was the thing he didn't remember it, none of it…I know Kira and he didn't remember a single thing of what went on that day, and as I saw his eyes they were the dark ones we know now," Lacus reported.
The doctor spoke up, "Miss Clyne informed us of these events as that put me in one direction…I knew what I had to look for so Miss Clyne had been trying to get him back into that frame of mind again, which she succeeded on the last day fully."
"I asked him the same question again and he didn't remember it, then he said something strange, then a moment later he said something that contradicted what he just said…I noticed the shift back and forth," Lacus replied.
"I had tests running at the time and it recorded the readings I needed to see as I watched it myself," the doctor replied.
"Well what is it?" Cagalli asked.
"He has developed a second personality," the doctor replied.
That was a shock, "He's a schizoid?" Cagalli asked again.
"I would say it's a little different then that, I did readings all week as he continues to struggle internally however unlike other schizophrenics his case is very different, he has a second personality but this one was forced on him," the doctor replied.
"What causes those again?" Murrue asked.
"That symptoms fit perfectly, usually a past trauma or something drastic in that nature can cause one but he is a little bit different," the doctor replied.
Everyone knew of Kira's troubles after the first war but he was getting better not worse which is what they doctor went on about.
"As I said his case is very different, from his brain functions this side of Kira is he can still think clearly from the past but the hate and anger are in full control, what happened to Lacus is very rare," the doctor replied.
"So he is being used?" Cagalli asked.
"In a way but I should go on first," the doctor said as all quieted down.
"I believe these pills have something to do with that, when I learned what this was those pills weaken the brain as most of the headaches I don't believe are caused from his past trauma, I believe that he is fighting this internally however his case is different so its not as if he can just wake up and be fully back," the doctor replied.
"What I am saying is those pills truly serve this side of him, however what truly split this side of him is something I cannot clearly say as you can see on the screen I don't know what caused the internal damage," the doctor replied.
"I…I knew he couldn't do this," Lacus replied.
"Wait a second…the side of him you see now is something that is mostly caused from the trauma of the first war, everyone hates but most can suppress those actions, he is not…somewhere deep down after the war he must have felt some of these things at one point or another…however what happened was something made this hate come out and something made this hate explode so bad that it split from his true self into this…what Miss Clyne tells me about his improvements and what happened led me to believe this side was forced out and is staying in power mostly because of those pills keeping those certain parts of the brain suppressed, allowing all this hate and anger to flow it formed into this," the doctor told them.
The room was silent for a few seconds.
"There is still a big gap in to what caused the split, however I can tell you that he is truly your friend but the hateful side we all possess has emerged and is in full control and has been growing over the years…something is managing or keeping it this way as those pills have been keeping the other side to weak to emerge…he has moments but the hateful side is very strong and is the dominant side at the moment…the reason his pain is so bad now is that they are flushing out of his superior system and a fail safe they have is making more pain so he would take those pills," the doctor said.
"What about the nightmares he still has?" Lacus asked.
"That can very, from what I gather they are still from the first war and some could be things this side doesn't want to remember…I have to say this was done with genius work that I didn't even know was possible…that is the blank however as I don't know how or who could have split that repressed darkness as you could call it into a personally," the doctor replied.
"I can tell you that," Mu said as he spoke up.
All turned their attention to Mu as many were still shocked at what they were hearing here.
Kira's Room
Kira remained the same as he hadn't moved in a long time now, his head splitting and now he was starting to lose control of himself. His head fists and just about anything else had either marks or bruises where he tried to avert the pain. Those monitoring him couldn't no longer tell if he still knew who, what, and where he was his responsive times were nonexistent.
Doctors and nurses checked all the readings as all were unresponsive, all they could really tell now was he was alive and that was about it.
This condition as you could call it was unknown to any of them as something like this has never happened before so they had no clue what to look for or anything else.
He was still dangerous and they had to treat him like that but it was clear that he didn't look like he could put up any sort of fight anymore.
The words he kept uttering were either about his pills or they heard something about judgment, which was all they could really make out but even that was erratic now.
Outside the Room
One doctor was observing on a monitor next to the room as the soldiers were waiting for orders if the team had to go in.
"What do you make of it?" one nurse asked as it was her unfortunate job to go in and perform basic needs of IV's and equipment checks and she didn't like it at all as it was scary going in there with a mass murderer like him.
"He looks like he is in a catatonic state…I don't think we have to worry anymore about violence," the doctor replied.
The last few times nothing ever happened as he said and did nothing so they were going on that.
"Go in and change the bags again," the doctor replied as he was looking over the stats again.
The main doctors were at this meeting so they were filling in while they were doing that.
Inside the Room
The nurse nodded to the soldiers as the door was electronically opened as guns were raised like always as the nurse went in.
Kira didn't even look in their direction as they could see him shaking a little but his attention hadn't been turned.
The nurse began her work as the soldiers were standing guard.
The doctor was going through a few things when he heard something.
Medical Briefing Room
Attention was turned to Mu as he was basically silent until this.
"Do you have something to add sir?" the doctor replied.
"I have had a few theories for a little while, and everything fits one of them," Mu replied.
"Theories sir?" the doctor asked confused.
"When I first saw him, I could feel something was different inside of him, now that he has been weakened it has been easier to access," Mu replied.
"What are you saying sir?" The doctor asked as Mu seemed to know it all.
Lacus understood a little as did the rest since Mu had one similar connection to Kira and all were aware of that fact.
"Using my own abilities I have been able to detect certain emotions the past few days that I haven't felt in my past times engaging him, I can feel what is inside," Mu replied.
"Abilities sir? I am not aware of that medical situation," the doctor said annoyed.
Mu slightly glared at him, "That is because it is not a medical condition, what we possess is far beyond medical science, you could probably call it a stage of evolution but not even we know much about it as there are so few of us."
Mu gave a quick story about what they can do with their abilities as the doctor couldn't believe it until Mu worked his magic on the doctor which then proved he was right.
"I have never even heard about something like this is even possible," the doctor replied.
"I know about as much as you do but one thing I am sure of and that is that we have them," Mu told them.
"What are you thinking?" Lacus asked as she wanted answers as well.
"I believe you are right in your analysis but you said one thing was missing and that was how or should I say who forcefully split that darkness into a dominant personality," Mu said seriously.
"I said that was my theory, I have never dealt with any of this before I am just saying what I got from the tests," the doctor quickly replied.
Mu shook his head, "Trust me you were right, and I can tell you this is from that chairman and that chairman only," Mu replied.
They all thought that was who it was but it seemed a little unbelievable.
"I still find it hard to believe this chairman used his abilities and did that to him," the doctor replied.
"Listen, these abilities from what I know have no limit, I cannot do things like that but from what I have felt this chairman goes far beyond me, all I am saying is from what I know about my abilities it is highly if not certainly the case," Mu replied.
Lacus was silent.
"Don't you think that is a little to supernatural?" Andrew asked.
"Let's see, Lacus how was Kira the last day you left him," Mu asked.
"Regarding his abilities he never showed anything like them before," Lacus replied.
"Then three years later he shows up with traces, then a year later he comes back with full use of these abilities and they are still growing…I am no expert in my own abilities but I cannot tell you how far they can go…all I am saying is I believe that the chairman did that with his own abilities and he uses those pills to keep what he did as the dominant personality which is the Kira we know today," Mu replied.
"I have no way to test for that," the doctor replied.
"You don't have to all I am going on is what I know of these abilities, and what I am detecting from him now, but I will stake my life on what I have said is the correct way of what happened," Mu replied.
"I agree," Lacus replied, "From what I have seen that is what has to of happened," Lacus replied.
They went on as they moved to the next topic of the matter and maybe the most important.
Kira's Room
The nurse started her work as she looked over in a small panic as he was now looking at her.
There was really no sign of anything in his eyes, "Give me my pills," was what he said.
The soldiers stood ready as this was the first time he spoke in awhile but that was what he always said.
"I…I…am sorry…very sorry sir…I…I cannot…I mean I…give…I cannot give them to you," she finally got out.
Kira's head turned to the side, as he just completely fell forward and on to the floor.
The nurse jumped back in a fright as the doctor rushed in as the soldiers were on ready status.
The doctor knelt down as he was checking him, "There is no change."
"He just asked for the pills and then this," the nurse said.
"Most likely exhaustion, lets get him…" the doctor said as it happened.
Kira didn't move until he heard that last phrase.
Instantly his elbow came flying up as he connected the doctor in the nose shattering that and sending him flying back into the wall with a stream of blood as a mark.
The nurse fell backwards as the soldiers couldn't believe how quickly it was as Kira spun on the floor and delivered a quick flying kick to the rifle knocking that away as Kira moved to his feet and delivered a powerful kick to the chest sending him flying back into two others.
Kira didn't stop as he followed and grabbed one gun of the remaining two as he quickly back fisted the one he was holding the rifle on and then spun throwing the rifle he was holding into the others as he dropped it a little and then he got the knock out as Kira grabbed the persons head and slammed it straight into the wall as all five were out cold.
Kira stumbled as the nurse in frighten looked on, shaking horribly as she thought this was the end.
She felt herself being pulled up as the death grip on her arm was horrid.
She finally opened her eyes as she saw the emptiness again, "Pills," was all he said.
"I…I…" she stammered as she cried out in pain as he tightened his grip.
"Down to the research hall…" she finally cried out.
Kira dropped her as he started heading out, stumbling but it was clear it was like he was going in instinct.
The doctors made one fatal move as just because he wasn't improving didn't mean his strength and speed weren't among them as they adapted to quickly for them to take notice.
Medical Briefing Room
"So now that we know I guess, how do we stop it?" Lacus asked.
The doctor looked at her, "Unfortunately I have no idea…there is nothing to give to him, the only thing I can think of is he has to pull himself out of it."
"How is he supposed to do that when he has been like this for the past four years?" Athrun asked.
"First you have to keep him off those pills, that could give him the chance he needs as they won't be attacking the brain sections he needs to get back…other then that I don't even know if that will help…it might be far to late," the doctor replied.
"I don't believe that…we may not know what we are dealing with but I saw him that day that the snipers shot would have hit me and I saw how he was…I believe he is still fighting it, we don't have all the answers but I know for a fact he is not gone," Lacus replied.
"If anyone can you can," Mu replied.
"We still don't know clearly how to deal with this but…I have to tell you that dominant personality is stronger and has been in control for a long time, even when the pills are out of his system it will still be difficult, and even with that I am not sure what to do," the doctor replied.
"I do," Lacus replied as all knew she was serious.
Cagalli had a lot of mixed feelings about this, she still didn't know how to feel, sure maybe it wasn't Kira's entire fault, maybe not at all but until she saw otherwise…she was just too confused on the matter as she stopped thinking.
Athrun blamed the chairman fully, Kira was in a very vulnerable state when he likely found him so what Mu said made a lot of sense to him, however if they can turn him back was an entirely different thing as he had no clue how to do it.
Lacus however knew it in her heart and she knew it now, she was going to get him back no matter what it took to do it. The chairman did this to him, he turned him into this beast and she was the one going to stop it, she saw the Kira she remembered still inside and that was the one she was going to get back, no matter the cost.
Lacus was about to explain as she had a few thoughts when they heard a loud alert.
They looked around as a soldier came on screen.
"What is going on?" Cagalli asked.
"Prisoner has escaped," the soldier said.
"What how? Where is he now?" Cagalli asked quickly.
Lacus looked in worry as they didn't expect this.
"He is heading towards the research lab on our monitors," the soldier replied.
Lacus widened her eyes.
"That is not good," the doctor replied.
It didn't register to most at first.
"He wants his pills," Lacus replied.
"We still have some left…if he gets those it will start all over again," the doctor replied.
They didn't have to wait as Lacus was out the door, now was as good a time as any as they didn't have the time to flush his system again, she had to do it now.
To be continued...
(A\N): The next chapter, Kira gets to the lab, Lacus holds the soldiers back as they speak again. Bye for now.
