Lan came out of his room four days later. He now wore his swim trunks and seemed to be ready to go to the beach. Leviathan noted bitterly that he had the nerve to wear a huge grin on his face.

"Well, Levi? You ready for the beach?" Lan asked.

"I'm not going," Leviathan said.

"Huh? Why not?" Lan asked.

"I don't feel like it," Leviathan replied.

"Well, it's not like I was invited anyway," Lan said as he tossed his bag aside. "What do you want to do?"

"Ponder the meaning of life and its fragility," Leviathan answered sarcastically.

"I'll join you," Lan said.

"No," Leviathan said.

"Nani?" Lan asked, surprised. "Why not?"

Leviathan didn't answer.

"I guess I should've expected this," Lan sighed. "After all, I'm forsaken..."

Leviathan tried to stop herself from calling Lan back. She didn't want to learn of what he meant by that if it was only going to further her pain.

Lan stopped on his way to the stairs. "The man who talks to you... The description he gave... It best fits Hub with Hub's Ultimate Program."

Leviathan's eyes opened as she turned around, watching as Lan walked upstairs.

'Hub is male. He seems to be around the same age as me. Hub was returned to the Hikari family as a netnavi and the Ultimate Program allowed him to change into various different forms. He also defeated whatever threatened the Earth. Could the android really be him?' Leviathan wondered.

Lan looked at the list of people killed by the one supposed to be Bass. Poipu, Dingo, Fyrefox, Tory, Shukko, Annetta, Kai, Mary, Sal, Miyu, Maysa, Dr.Wily, Sean, Jasmine, Mick, Tab, Mr. Mach, Dark, Manabe, Charlie, Ribbitta, Dr. Froid, Dave, Dr. Cossack, Dr. Regal... the list went on and on... A new name was now on there, recently found... Haruka.

Leviathan intercepted Hub on his way home, after he had finished is date with Maylu.

"Are you the android?" Leviathan asked.

"What do you mean?" Hub asked.

"Are you the android?" Leviathan asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Hub said.

"Don't play dumb with me," Leviathan said. "After all, you can change into any form..."

"Heh... I didn't think you'd be the one to figure it out," Hub chuckled. "Dad and I worked hard to keep this a secret..."

"Nani?" Leviathan asked.

"How did you know...?" Hub began. "How did you know that I used this necklace to project the image of Bass's robot?"

'N-nani...? He's the... killer?' Leviathan gasped in disbelief.

"I'm sorry that you have to be the second family member to die by my hands," Hub said as his arm turned into his Megabuster.

Leviathan watched in horror as a plasma shot came straight at her, knowing she couldn't move in time.

Leviathan was rammed away from the shot, her savior taking the blow instead. Tears fell from Leviathan's eyes as she saw who her rescuer was, Hub matching her sadness with shock.

"Levi-chan..." Lan coughed, blood coming out.

"Lan, you baka!" Levi cried.

"Levi-chan... Sumimasen," Lan coughed out blood again. "I am the android."

Leviathan's eyes widened before Lan showed her his wrist, which had been recently cut. Metal and wires could be seen inside. Leviathan turned to the round wound caused by Hub's Megabuster, more metal and wires were around the gaping hole as red fluid leaked out.

"Lan, you baka..." Leviathan cried, tears running down her face as she felt him go limp. "YOU BAKA!"

'Why does pain...'


So... The beach trip is definitely off? Sorry, this kind of rattles me, too. Hub a killer? Lan an android? Who writes these things?! Also... What happens now?
