Chapter Six
A Day with Nyuu or Lucy
Johnson got up to take the tray to the table, but didn't find any one in the inn. When he got to the kitchen, there was a note saying:
Dear Johnson,
Koata and I have left for school and so did Mayu. We decided to take Nana with us, but we couldn't take Nyuu because she would have interrupted the class. So we leave her here with you, please take care of her.
-Yuka
"You got to be kidding me." Johnson said. Then there was a loud crashing sound, Nyuu had pulled a pan from a stack of them from a lower cabinet. Then he heard some one outside, he remembered he left the soldier there, tied and was struggling to get free. "Where is the facility?" Johnson asked. "What facility, there's no facility, I work for the government." The soldier replied. Then, Johnson pulled out his dagger, stabbing it into the post, cutting the soldier's shoulder. "I'll ask again where the facility is." Nyuu peeked to see what was going on outside. She walked to next to Johnson to see what was going on. She saw that the soldier was bleeding and wondered how by poking his wound. "Aaaagh, quite doing that!" the soldier yelled scary Nyuu. Then Johnson got an idea. "Don't worry Nyuu; he can't do anything to you since he's tide up on the post." "Nyuu" she said. Johnson encouraging Nyuu to keep poking at the soldier's wound. "Now where is the facility or she will keep on poking your wound till you can no longer stand it." "Alright, theirs an abandon ware house, in Cronigi alleys, there should be a something in there to help you. Now please, let me go." Then Johnson hit the soldier in the head with the handle of the dagger, knocking him out. "Just in case you're lying." Johnson said. Johnson was getting some things ready to head to the warehouse, but didn't know if he should leave Nyuu in the house, because she might make a mess. "I guess I have to take you either way" Johnson told Nyuu, and so they were outside the gate, and started walking to the town to go to the Cronigi alleys. Johnson had stopped to ask for directions when Nyuu wonder off to see what she could find. Once Johnson got the information, he noticed Nyuu was missing, he started looking for her. He found had found her looking at some pets, bagging her hand on the glass wondering why can't she pet one, getting frustrated. "You're not going to be able to pet one like that, now come on," Johnson said and grabbed Nyuu in a hurry. They reached warehouse, as they walked inside there was many boxes. Nyuu wondered off to see what she could find, until she had slipped on a puddle hitting her head on the ground, knocking her out. Johnson started to inspect the boxes, opening them one by one. He found some contained old papers with information of test the facility had done long ago. "Why would they hide information like this here," he thought. Lucy wakes up, and sees that she is a strange place, but then she hears Johnson calling out Nyuu. Thinking it was another person trying to hunt her down to return her to the facility, she takes out one of her vectors. She starts moving towards the Johnson's voice until she sees him. "Where could that girl be?" Just then, Lucy moves her vector slowly going to Johnson's leg. Johnson senses the vector and quickly takes out his dagger. Lucy tries to slash Johnson convinced that it is some to capture her. Strangely, using his dagger, he slashes to where he feels the vector is coming from, and makes it disappear. By this Lucy was surprised to see that his dagger was not even scratched. Then she sends out two more vectors, but yet, he was able to make them vanish. "Come out and show yourself if you think you're so powerful!" Johnson says in a high voice. Lucy came out to see him at a distance. "Nyuu, stay there, don't move I'll go to you," He tells Lucy not knowing that Nyuu changed to her. Quickly she tries again to kill Johnson, which then Johnson finds out it was Lucy trying to kill him. "Nyuu, what are you doing?" Then he remembered what Koata had said, "She has a split personality, the one is now doesn't know some things around her." "So you're the other one, the other half of Nyuu" Johnson says. "Why is it that your dagger is not in two pieces?" Lucy asks. "I studied you diclonius, seeing how your vectors are made of highly concentrated energy, that I discovered the only way to "defeat" them, you need a different force, which so happens to be the force of a magnet." Lucy throws two boxes at him, which quickly dodges. "I'm not here to fight you; Yuka left me in charge of you, without any option." "Yuka? I don't know any one named Yuka" Lucy replied. Then she picked up a dozen of metal thin pipes, throwing them to Johnson again like spears. They went through boxes and some that were going straight to Johnson; he cut through them to stop the pipes to go through him. "I don't have time for this," Johnson thought. Once he caught sight of Lucy, he started making his way to her. Lucy saw him heading to her, so she started to use her vectors for a chance to kill him. Johnson sensed the vectors coming to him fast. Some he dissolved with his dagger, others he jumped to dodge the incoming attack. Just then they met face to face. Johnson was holding his dagger to Lucy's neck, and Lucy had one of her vectors on Johnson's neck. "Even if you do cut my head off, I'll have time to cut yours off." he said while being chocked. "I'm not going to be used again by the facility, your not take me alive." Lucy said. "I don't work for any facility. I was told by Yuka, Koata's friend, to take care of you while there at school." He replied. By this, Lucy let go of Johnson and he took his dagger off her throat. "So why are we here then?" Lucy asked. "I was looking for a way to reach a facility which I'm guessing you don't know of." "And why are you trying to reach this facility?" "Others and I are going to sabotage it and free others like you and I that were not able to escape a long time ago. But there doesn't seem to be a passage any where like the soldier told me, there's just old results from the test the facility's scientists did." Then Lucy started to walk away. "Where are you going?" Johnson asked. "I'm going to find Koata." She replied. "They said you couldn't go because you would be a disturbance in the class and I'm thinking that you don't even know where it is." She turned looked at the floor. "Then you will take me to him." "I don't know where it is, so you're going to have to wait until they get back from there." Johnson explained. After Johnson looked for a little to see if there was at least something to help him, he gave up. "There's nothing here, let's go." Johnson agreed and so they headed toward the exit. Johnson picked up a wooden board not too thick. "Lucy." He called out. When she turned, Johnson hit her in the head, hoping maybe Nyuu could come back. "Sorry about that, for I am not proud of it." He told her while she was knocked out on the floor. He shook her saying Nyuu. She opened her eyes and was Nyuu again. "Come on Nyuu, lets go." "Nyuu," she says. Soon they were back in the town, and again she wondered off, but Johnson followed her. He saw that she wanted to pet one of the puppies again put couldn't. Then Johnson led her inside, so she could pet the puppies which she was happy to do. After that, they left towards home, and was sun down. It was fifteen minutes when they got back to the inn, when Koata, Yuka, Nana, and Mayu came home from their schools.
