-Something-
The teapot blew steam and Frankenstein walks over to the stove and turns it off. "I'll get you a few band-aids," Frankenstein said and he leaves the kitchen. Seikatsu goes back to chopping the vegetables. More carefully this time. Frankenstein walks back in the kitchen to see Seikatsu's cut almost completely healed. His expression was shocked then concern. "Here." He hands Seikatsu the band aids.
Seikatsu stops chopping the vegetables and takes the band aids from him. She applies the band aids properly to her cuts. "I look like a klutz." She speaks with a crooked smile on her face. Frankenstein chuckles and takes the leftover band-aid peelings to put them in the trash can. "You are fine. It was an accident. If you'd like, I can assist you after I give Master his tea." Frankenstein says. "That would be great. Thank you." Seikatsu obliges and Frankenstein smiles before he brings the tea over to Rai.
"Master."
"Yes, Frankenstein."
"This woman is not human. Possibly..."
"She is an experiment. It is evident to what she had told me."
"She told you?"
"Indirectly..."
"Her parents were murdered by the one who attacked Yuna."
"She is a target."
Frankenstein hands the cup of tea to Rai. Rai takes the cup and smiles in content. "Please keep her safe here. I sense something will be coming for her." Rai said after taking a sip from his tea. He sighs in content. "I also experienced death today." He added. Frankenstein almost lost his composure. "I was brought to a dark place..." Rai continues to speak which made Frankenstein nervous. "Hey Franky, Rai is talking about a video game. Well, PC game." Seikatsu says aloud.
"Franky...?" Frankenstein's eye twitched in irritation to the sudden nickname. "It is...one of them," Rai said. "What?" Frankenstein snaps his attention to Rai. "One of them? I...I'll need to know the other names then." He sighs. "That woman is interesting," Rai says.
Later in the evening, Seikatsu stood on the railing of the balcony. She wore a tank top and pajama shorts. She stood barefooted. "They're gone. I must find them." She said. A knock came to the bedroom door and Seikatsu did not respond. "Miss Seikatsu, it's Frankenstein. I wanted to see how you were-" Frankenstein said as he opens the door to see Seikatsu leap down and run away.
"She knows about the message. This is not good. And I told her that I would keep her safe..." Frankenstein smiles as his eye twitches in irritation. Rai sees the bedroom vacant. "She is going to get the children...in her pajamas, Master," Frankenstein said. "They are in danger. Let's go." Rai spoke.
"She's not human, but her parents were..."
"To prove that her soul can be in the form of a weapon."
"It's too similar to what I can do."
"But there is something different..."
"She is still a human at heart."
Seikatsu continued to run along the streets without hesitation. She did not stop running. Her mind was blank as she could sense where Shinwoo, Ikhan, and Yuna were. Aside from them, she was able to locate her parents' killer. "That day...they wanted me to die. I saw the three people standing there as if nothing happened. That bastard of a beast killed my father then my mother. The one who sent him just laughed." Seikatsu thought of the order of events that haunted her mind.
The day her parents were forced to let their daughter become a test subject made the woman depressed. The sounds of yelling caught the woman's attention and Seikatsu immediately allowed her body to be engulfed in a darkness in order to lean onto the roof.
"No one should be disposable," Seikatsu said as she landed in between the two people who had been fighting. "You...you should have died from that fall." The blue haired woman said in disappointment. "Girl! You need to get out of here! Are you stupid?" The gray-haired man scolds Seikatsu. Frankenstein and Rai land next to her. "You. I'm not a girl, but I somehow have seen your face before. For now, I want to know about this broad." Seikatsu politely spoke.
"Hm...The doctor is curious to see how you'll turn out. Your parents tried to hide you from us by saying you were dead." The woman explains. Seikatsu places her hand on her forehead, "Mary...that is your name. I remember seeing you." Seikatsu swings her arm and a light purple colored aura strikes the woman in the face scarring Mary's skin. "That look you gave them. Pisses. Me. Off." Seikatsu states. Mary narrows her eyes as the impact causes her cheek to split open. "I won't let someone cause trouble," Seikatsu said before she turns around to face the man.
He was beaten, but not dead. "M-21. Where are they?" Seikatsu asks. M-21 immediately answers, "Underground of this building there is a discarded facility. They are in danger right now. I'll hold her off for you guys." "You seem to be struggling," Frankenstein said. "Heh, you don't understand M-21. A useless experiment is pathetic. Now that I see you know these men and her..." Mary spoke. Seikatsu looks at M-21. She heads towards the door. "Please...help my friend," M-21 said. "Frankenstein," Rai spoke.
"Yes," Frankenstein responds.
"I will go inside," Rai said.
"Understood," Frankenstein says with a simple nod.
"Show me the way. Seikatsu, follow him." Rai said and M-21 was a bit surprised.
"Fine." Seikatsu agrees.
"You can try to save them. Once this one is out of the way I will take you back." Mary said before Seikatsu left. Frankenstein narrows his eyes. "You seem to know who or what the woman is. Would you please care to explain yourself? She was supposed to be killed that night, am I correct?" Frankenstein questions Mary. She did not answer the questions. "I am correct then. Well, I am your opponent and that woman is under my supervision now." He said.
"You plan to conduct experiments on her? You will have a difficult time getting her to participate." Mary said with a smirk. "She's not going to be treated in any manner such as that." Frankenstein smiles.
Down the hall, the three moved as fast as they could to reach the children. M-21 lead the way. Rai and Seikatsu were able to keep up with him. "It's been over seven years since she disappeared. How did she survive? No...where has she been all these years? The rumor was that she died in an accident, but now Jake found her. Could those killings at the hospital have been a setup?" M-21 thought as he glances back at the woman.
Seikatsu was a fellow test subject. M-21 had seen the woman as a little girl then as a teenager. Even when they first met, M-21 could remember the day Seikatsu started changing. As mush as he wanted to discuss her life outside the facility, the children and M-24 were more important right now. "How long?" Rai asks. M-21 looks ahead. "Not too long-," He said just when an explosion occurs. The building rumbles and screaming could be heard. "We are not far Rai," Seikatsu said just as they stopped in front of the debris. The gaping hole in the wall displayed Jake who was grinning. Rai and Seikatsu stood only a number of feet away from the site.
"Rai! Seikatsu!" Ikhan shouts as he and Yuna sit by an injured Shinwoo. The red-headed boy was beaten badly. "You two shouldn't be here..." Shinwoo tries to speak. "Heh, so you survived and now you are here with your new boyfriend. Ha ha! I will kill you both. Your friends can watch." Jake said as he faces Seikatsu. Seikatsu's eye twitches and she sighs. "Where is he?" She asks. "Oh? You mean M-24? He tried killing me, but you know. It was wasted effort." Jake said as he glances at the rubble.
Seikatsu was about to speak and M-21 leaps over her to attack Jake. Rai does not interfere and watches in silence. "How do I get crap for showing up and you are with me?" Seikatsu said. "Do you remember that man?" Rai asks her. The fight between Jake and M-21 did not last long. It was one sided. M-21 was sent flying past the two people. "That man...his arms...he's not human?" Ikhan said in fear. "Like you can do shit even if you were hiding your power. You always get into shit because of her." Jake spoke with a laugh. Ikhan, Shinwoo, and Yuna turn to Rai.
"Rai, are the police here?"
"Yeah. Where are the policemen?"
"..." Rai did not answer.
"What's going to happen to us? No, what about you two?"
"N-No...we got you involved in this...we're sorry..."
The three teenagers could not believe that they dragged Rai and Seikatsu into trouble. Seikatsu notices the tears running down Yuna's and Ikhan's cheeks. She shakes her head. "Don't cry. I'm not mad at you guys. Besides, this crying mess makes me nervous." Seikatsu said as she gave them a gentle smile. Jake approaches Rai casually. Seikatsu stood in front of M-21 who was laying on the floor.
"Please put them to sleep." Seikatsu requests Rai. Rai looks at the three students and raises his hand. Shinwoo, Ikhan, and Yuna immediately fall asleep. Seikatsu turns her back to face Jake. "You wanted me to die after seeing my face that night. My parents were slaughtered by your orders and Mary wants me to come back. Honestly, my rage is calm right now. Even though I shall see you in hell." Seikatsu says her peace, "You view me as weak, but the doctor made me more superior."
"You...you little bitch!" Jake becomes enraged and tries to attack Seikatsu from behind. A glow of white and purple aura emits from Seikatsu's body and forms into the shape of clawed arms. The woman looks lifeless as the arms slashed Jake apart. Jake stumbles back and spits the blood out of his mouth. M-21 was watching in disbelief. "You! How the hell did you do that!?" Jake spoke until he stood in front of Rai. "You, however, are a quiet one. Your face attracts those stupid girls. Heh, I'll tear it off." Jake said as Rai continues to stay silent, "You can't look me in the eye. Are you afraid?"
"You...talk too much. Also...kneel." Rai said and Jake was forced to his knees. "The fuck is this? Why can't I move?" Jake struggles to stand. He then is forced to his knees once more as if gravity was dragging him further down. "Your eye level is where it should be," Rai said calmly. Jake starts to transform and the pressure was making Seikatsu have difficulties in breathing. Her aura was becoming violent in reaction.
M-21 notices Seikatsu's breathing and he looks at Rai. "Hey! Put Seikatsu to sleep before she starts choking. The pressure is screwing with her powers!" M-21 said as he slowly stands up. "Seikatsu," Rai calls out to her and Seikatsu looks at him. She saw the glow in his red eyes before she fell to the floor slowly into a deep sleep. M-21 caught her in his arms. "You haven't changed a bit," M-21 says as Seikatsu was sleeping peacefully.
