Chapter 4
Back on the Gekko-Go
"Whe-re should we go?" Holland asked Talho while yawning. As usual, Holland was wearing the clothes he wore during the fight. Talho was still wearing her strange blue and silver clothes. "How about Bell-" Talho was interrupted before she could finish. The bedroom doors slide open and in came Stoner. "Sorry to bother you Leader," Stoner said, "but something has come up that you should see." With that, both men left the room leaving Talho by herself. "Geez…" she said aloud while massaging her forehead, "What now?"
"Well, what's the problem?" Holland asked Stoner. "Take a look at this picture, it's gonna be the next rayout cover." Stoner said while handing a photo to Holland. The picture was Renton and Eureka hugging in a field of colorful flowers.
"It was taken by the Nirvash when Renton went to rescued Eureka."
"How as this possible?"
"You know how all our LFOs have a live camera uplink to the ship? Well, apparently this was the only image that got through."
"Are those things on Eureka's back, wings?"
"Yup."
"Huh… the kids weren't lying then." Holland chuckled a bit to himself.
Just then, a small screen of Woz opened up on the computer screen.
"Leader! Leader! Are you there?" Woz's voice called in.
"Yeah, I'm here."
"A message from the Super Izumo. Patching in now…"
Another box opened up with Dominic's face.
"Holl-"
Dominic was interrupted by Captain Jurgens.
"Holland, there been rumors of rebels within the military. They strictly believed in Dewey and may attempt to carry out the rest of his plans." Jurgens said.
"Can't you take them out or capture them?" Holland asked.
"No, we do not know who they are and we do not know their intentions either."
"Damn…"
With that, the box closed. Holland massaged his temples. "So much has happened… the earth is literally split in half… what a mess my brother created…" He thought.
"Where are you? Renton. Eureka…"
