L explained to everyone where exactly in Japan they had to be. Upon the explanation, an old man, namely Watari, had entered the room, who gave them a palmtop computer, of which its use was also explained by L. The same Watari had released Katie from her binds and gave her some clean clothes, so she wouldn't have to run around in her patient-esque clothings.
Potter held his broom between his legs as he walked towards the window and jumped out. To the surprise of everyone, safe for the Green Lantern and Katie, Potter was able to fly on his broom.
"That's an old trick." Katie smirked.
"If you're so powerful yourself, why don't you use your powers?" Keiko snapped at her.
Katie grinned, just when Potter spoke: "Mrs. Smiley, you're the lightest of us, maybe you should ride with me."
Keiko looked through from Potter to the ground. It didn't seem particularly safe, but that's when she remembered: "The same reason why I became an assassin."
She stepped out of the window and climbed on Potter's back.
"So... what are you gonna do?" Caine asked the Green Lantern.
The Green Lantern raised his right hand, which bore the technical ring, with which he allowed Cain and Katie to be inside some kind of green field. With this, he raised his left hand, that bore the magical ring, which he used to fly, carrying the field and everything inside it with him. Caine gasped at the sight of his feet lifting off the ground, while Katie merely grinned at this.
"Interesting rings you got there." Katie spoke.
The Green Lantern ignored her: "Where to?"
Caine looked at his palmtop. It had a map of the world, as well as a compass, so he could see which direction to go to. Their destination on the map was marked as a bright red dot. A Japanese island called Okishima.
"That way." Caine pointed, which the other two followed. The entire flight seemed so surreal, it made Caine hesitate for a moment, but after a while, he found the courage to say: "A little more to the left."
The fliers did exactly that, to which Caine said: "Good! We're heading in the right direction."
"It just occured to me..." Keiko spoke, "I'm of Japanese descent myself, first my husband and now my, but both have taken me to many places, but I've never actually been to Japan myself. And now that I'm finally going there, I won't have much time for sightseeing."
"That depends on how you define sight-seeing." Caine replied.
"How do you mean?" she asked in return.
"I often get these names mixed up, but unless I'm mistaken..." Caine answered, "... this is the island where the Program was last held."
"The Program?" nobody else in the group knew what this was about.
"It's something that the entire Republic of Greater East Asia had set up." Caine explained, "Through some kind of lottery, the government would select a group of kids and forced to kill each other. They pick a battleground, evict everyone from the field, so the kids would have a place to fight. And this island is the one where it last took place."
"And the government would allow for something like this to happen?" Potter sounded disgusted.
"As long as there are people in power, more disgusting things will happen." the Green Lantern spoke.
"Anyway, I can understand why this drug syndicate would want to have a meeting on this island." Caine continued, "When the Program was last held, everyone was killed. Not just the kids, but the government officials monitoring the whole thing as well. This way, there was no one to collect the dead bodies, or to contact the government of how and if it ended. Even the island's previous inhabitants were too afraid to return, so it's been abandoned ever since."
"Making it the perfect place to do business." Keiko deduced.
"How do you know all this anyway?" the Green Lantern wondered.
"That bit about the Program? From the news." Caine answered, "The rest, it would look like L left some information about the island here."
"A bit schadenfreude, isn't he?" Katie seemed to be amused by this.
"Or he just thought that info could be usefull to us somehow." Potter realized.
"We'll see when we get there." the Green Lantern spoke, "We still flying right, Caine?"
Caine looked at his map: "We are. So far."
