Alright Chapter 13 :D

I don't have much to say though :c

You Know the drill, review, read, fav.

Chapter 13: Letting go of the past.

Location: Shinjiro and Toshiro's hut.

POV: Toshiro

I awoke to the sound of snoring.

"Urrrgh..." Octolia moaned, "He's been doing this all night..."

I gave a chuckle, Shinjiro's snoring keeps anyone up.

Except Tako and her Inkling friend.

"How can they endure that awful noise?" Octolia asked and I shrugged.

I got up and headed into the walk-in wardrobe.

I have to admit, I didn't expect Shinjiro to be this organised.

He was always the type of guy to lie down somewhere and spend his time sleeping and he did silly things by accident.

But that's what made him likeable at the orphanage.

He'd lighten up anyone's mood.

But then everything changed when he left...

Location: Yakuza's Orphanage.

I seen my father and Shinjiro leave the Orphanage.

Shinjiro didn't even turn to say goodbye to everyone...to Aria, Richard, hell even the guy who stuck by him 24/7.

After that, Father made pods for the others as well.

One by one, I seen my friends, from kids to adults, be taken away to the 'future'.

I was the only one remaining. Was I worth anything?

Was I, the biological Son, destined to die and not do nothing, while everyone else was given a Second Chance?

Hell no!

So I ran away, and I stole a prototype Armor Father worked on, along with a copy of his weapon.

It wasn't as tough as the weapon Shinjiro was given, but it sufficed.

Eventually I found myself in front of Shinjiro's pod.

In anger, I drew my sword.

"Are you happy?" I said.

"Are you happy, that you and everyone are going to be together?! I'm not! I'm going to die here!"

I hold the sword up, "But If I cannot live for the future than neither shall you! Everything was perfect before Dad found you on the streets! You taken away my future!

NOW I'LL TAKE YOURS!"

I swung, but the blade stopped at the window of the pod.

I can't do it. I can't kill the man who, despite taking my future, treated me like a somebody.

"It's not fair, damn it!" I feel to my knees, metal clanging against stone.

"I was the first! It's not damn fair! I'm not dying here!"

I seen a glint out of the left corner of my eye.

Another Cyro pod was easily hidden.

I got up and turned to Shinjiro, who was frozen.

I was jealous. He didn't do anything and HE got everything.

I did everything and got nothing.

I try to move the moss covered rubble over the pod to hide most of the pod. After a few seconds, I began to freeze up.

Hopefully I may find a purpose.

I drop to the stone floor, coughing as I see blurry figures in front of me.

"teG mih pu!" I heard, I was dragged to my feet.

I look up now, seeing a black figure in front of me, purple dots flicker in my view.

"ohW era uoy?" The voice appeared female, but was garbled slightly.

"What..?" I asked.

"Foreign language detected" I heard in my helmet.

"Who are you?!" the voice asked again but I could understand it.

"uh...T-Toshiro..."I said slurred, still under the effect of thawing out.

The figure walked closer, lifting my head so our visors meet.

"Who...a-Are you?" I asked,

"Classifed..."

She looked at me, then at my sword. She smiled

"However, that can change, if you agree to help us."

And so, I became a sort of...guardian to the Octarian army. I had seen death and tears in the once-great military force.

Troopers having to be put in machines to survive.

Said machines being adapted for combat...and 'Octolings' like Octolia dying, bursting into a purple ink-like substance.

If this was their blood, it was a brutal way to die

"Who...what did this?" I asked.

"The Inklings..." I raised my eyebrow, didn't my father say they were the good guys? If so...that makes the Octarians the bad guys.

But then why were they dying out?

Nothing made sense.

"What did they do?" I asked.

Octolia breathed in, "They had grown greedy of the power source that was for both Octarians and Inklings...now they took it for their own gain, and spread about lies about our betrayal.

About a century ago, they sent so many Agents against us, we couldn't handle them. It was genocide, this is all we are now."

Shinjiro and the others were siding with the Inklings...! Does that mean...I have to fight my friends?

I clenched my fist as I remember Shinjiro, how he got everything.

"Take me to your leader..."

-now-

I clench my fists in anger.

'Come on...Put on your armor and lay waste to everyone! It's why the entered that pod, isn't it?! So just do it! It's your 'purpose'!'

I shook my head of the voice, strange that It appeared when I came here.

I had gotten dressed and allowed Octolia to get changed.

Smirking, I peep in. I got a good look at her as she changed.

She had noticed me, "Tch?! TOSHIRO! YOU PERVERT!" Suddenly a boot collided with my cheek.

Stars flew around my head as I was knocked out.

Location: S.S Studios.

POV: Third Person.

It was a few minutes after the news report as Callie plopped her arms on the table, followed by her head.

"No sign of the Great Zapfish itself... The energy the Smaller Zapfish are giving isn't going to cut it." Marie said.

"Mmhmm." Callie groaned out.

"And not to mention we have three outsiders who may or may not be splatted on sight."

"Mmhmm."

"AND not to mention you look like you've been out all night, getting drunk." She continued.

...

"Mmhmm"

Marie tapped Callie on the head, Callie peaked out.

"Mm?" She moaned.

"What's wrong? Why have you been quiet? You weren't like this a few moments ago." Marie asked.

she could literally see the trouble radiate off Callie like dry ice leaving a fog machine.

Callie sighed. "Well...you know how I have a crush on Shinjiro?"

"Yeah?" Marie replied.

"The feeling's getting worse now. I feel like I'm gonna explode if I don't tell him..." Callie stated, her face going red as she spoke.

Marie gave her a -_- expression.

"Really? That's what's troubling you?"

"D-dont judge me! I know you have felt that with Tsung!" Callie countered.

"S-So what? At least I don't do 'that' at night!" Marie parried.

"W-When!?" Callie deflected.

"Last night, I peeped in..." Marie riposted, giving her creepy smirk.

Callie, defeated, laid her head on her arms.

"I'm a weird inkling..." She weeps as Marie drinks her tea,

"It's a crush, you'll muster the strength to get through it. Eventually..."

And I'm done with 13 now.

14 is on it's way, don't worry.
