Aruka's History Pt. 2

Sathir 17 years ago.

A year had passed since the World Government took over Sathir for the production of Glantium, a highly unstable metallic conductor, the objective of its production was unknown it was only known as the Pacifista Project, but the fabrication of said metal caused immense pollution, the earth around the excavation sites and factories was dying, and the people that lived near them were starting to get ill.

The inhabitants of Sathir appeared to be fine with it around the marine officers, however there were already several underground rebel groups who wished to free Sathir, even if it meant to declare war on the World Government.

However it seemed useless, no matter how much a rebel group grew or how much financing it got for weaponry they never succeeded in freeing Sathir.

Once a rebel group thought it's power was enough to take down the marine officers they would strike at the heart of their facilities, trying to disrupt the production of Glantium and assassinate Hayasaka Jin. Usually a well planned out assault managed to stop the fabrication for a few days but once they headed for their second goal the groups disappeared from the face of the earth.

A single girl was looking at the sunset when she heard someone call her.

" Hey Aruka, the boss's callin for ya!" a young recruit said.

"I'll be right there." she answered curtly.

A year had passed, and Aruka after watching what had been happening to her country decided that she couldn't take it anymore, the World Government had to go!

Aruka lived near an area which was rich in Glantium and because of that she stopped going home almost entirely. She had also found a job, she was now a recruit for the marines.

Working for the marines wasn't her favorite thing to do but it was the fastest way for her to achieve her objective. The truth is that Aruka was working for one of the rebel groups, The Sathir Liberation Army.

After realizing she had been daydreaming for quite a while she got ready to meet with Major Arms.

The Glantium production and marine troops management were all under Jin's supervision but he was rarely present at the base and that was delaying the Liberation Army's plans. If someone who didn't know what was happening reached Sathir they would think Major Arms was the leading officer.

Aruka soon arrived at the Major's office, she knocked twice and entered.

"Excuse me sir, did you call for me?" she tried to address the big lizard-like major with as much respect as possible.

"Ah there you are recruit, I have a task for you." he then paused and started reading some kind of report " You are to meet Hayasaka Jin at the conference room tomorrow at 4am, he'll be exiting the conference for a 30 minutes pause and will start another 6 hours conference after said pause. You are to take him something to eat and a couple of files for the following meeting." he then finished reading and looked at her.

"Sir, yes sir!" she answered in a military tone.

"Here are the documents." he then pointedat almost 9 inches of reports annotations and some other kinds of documents "As for the meal I'm sorry to inform you but that will have to be provided by you, our cook is ill at the moment. So tomorrow morning drop by so I can give you the documents." he said that and restarted reading through some papers ignoring completely the presence of the young girl in front of him.

"S-sir?" she was dumbfounded, she was to provide with the meal for the enemy of Sathir?

"Yes what is it?"

"Hmm... I-I don't have any money..." she answered.

"Why would you need any money? Just cook the meal yourself. Now go away I'm busy!"

She turned around and walked away trying to suppress her anger.

Once she exited the room she started to make wild movements that seemed like she was trying to strangle someone.

"Tch cook lunch for mister I'm too important to cook my own meal, I just can't wait to get the orders from the HQ to get rid of you and the damn marines!" she whispered to herself and headed home.

She was walking the streets or Murausa and while she did everyone looked at her with an expression of disgust in their faces. To everyone else she was just a marine lapdog who had betrayed Sathir for some money.

There were only a few who knew she belonged to The Sathir Liberation Army, the members of the Army and her best friend Ema, so it was only normal for her to be looked down on by the others, but she didn't care, she'd save Sathir by any means necessary even if everyone hated her she would walk forward and would unleash Sathir from the grip of the World Government.

"I'm home!" she announced.

"Ah, welcome home Aruka." a friendly voice came to her ears.

Down the stairs came Ema with a big smile on her face.

After eating dinner she told Ema about having to serve Jin.

"I can't believe I got stuck with this job, I mean I know I'm just a recruit but this is just putting my patience to the test, and it's already running low, my patience that is."

"Now, now calm down, you're working for the Army so you're expected to do things like this once in a while, besides this will give you a chance to meet with Jin, maybe you can find weak spots." Ema was firmly against Aruka's decision to enter the rebel organization but once she joined Ema was as supportive as she could be.

Emas parents had entered a previous rebel group called The Falling Star and fought to free Sathir but they disappeared after the decisive assault. Since then Ema and Aruka started living together in Emas house.

"Yeah I know but still..." Aruka started puffing while she looked at the night sky.

"Haha, I guess with you it's always the same. Well we better head for bed you have to be up early tomorrow."

"Yeah, yeah." she said with an annoyed tone " Good night Ema"

She woke up at 3am, she never thought she'd have to wake up this early when she entered the marines, but it was all for the sake of Sathir so it was worth it.

She started to dress herself still half way asleep and headed for the marine base. It was no surprise to see there was no one up at that hour. She walked the deserted streets of Sathir and didn't take long before she reached the marine base.

THE DOCUMENTS ARE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT DRAWER.

There was a big sign by the Majors door indicating where the huge amount of paper was situated.

"Lazy old lizard couldn't even wake up on time to give the papers..." she continued to grumble and curse the old Major while she looked for the papers she was supposed to deliver.

"There you are! Bottom left huh? More like bottom right..." she then giggled imagining the major a person without any kind of sense of direction getting lost in the battle she headed for the conference room.

When she got there it was still 03:49 so she sat down and waited.

"And that is all for now we'll now take a 30 minutes break and we'll continue discussing the business at hand."

Jin was tired, he hadn't done anything else except spending unending hours in conferences with Sengoku, Dr Vegapunk and the Admirals.

He exited the conference room and started scanning the hallway for the recruit that was supposed to bring him his food, but he didn't find anyone there.

"Where might he be...?" he sighed and started walking but tripped on something and fell on top of whatever was in his way.

"What the hell?" he said and once he opened his eyes he saw what cause his fall.

There was a marine recruit on the floor with a few sandwiches on the lap and using the documents he needed as a pillow.

"Haha I just can't believe this, what am I supposed to do?" he found himself laughing in a way he hadn't in a long time.

"I wonder who this comic figure is. Haha!" he retrieved his documents with extreme care and replaced them with his coat as a pillow for the sleeping recruit.

"Sorry but I got to go now." he said and headed back into the room.

When she woke up she realized she fell asleep and got up in a jump, but all of the things she had were gone, the sandwiches were gone and the documents were gone aswell.

"Agh! I can't believe this! I was only wanting to rest my eyes a little! I'm gonna get fired! This is bad I need to be here for the sake of the Army plans."

She started to panic but before she freaked out she saw a coat on the floor, she reached for it and recognized it the moment there was enough light to actually see the coat. It was Hayasaka Jin's coat.

"Th-this is..." she then looked at her watch and saw it was already 5am. "So he got his food and documents already." a wave of relief washed over her.

"W-wait why the hell did he left his coat behind?"

When she settled down she decided it was best to just wait for him to get out of the meeting.

It had already been 1 hour and there was still no sign of him getting out of the conference room and Aruka was starting to get bored then it came to her, the meeting was supposed to go on for 5 more hours!

"I'm not sticking around her for 5 hours waiting to give him his murdering coat!" she spat out, she had an irrational disgust for the new young leader of Sathir, she pinned the blame of all that happened to Sathir on him even though she had never seen him do or say anything since the day he was introduced at the town Square.

"But maybe I should listen to what they're discussing a meeting that has lasted since yesterday and is going to last for at least 5 more hours is bound to have some kind of value to us." she said smirking.

When she was close enough she did her best to be quiet and listen to what was being said on the other side of the door.

"...Jin you can't be serious! We cannot afford to do that because of something that is completely unrelated." Vegapunk was yet again claiming that there was no relation between the mining and production of Glantium and the sudden wave of illness and disease that had spread across the areas that were being used to retrieve Glantium.

"But sir, we have to ponder the possibility, it can't be just a coincidence, nothing like this ever happened before we started..." he was cut off by one of the Admirals who didn't seem too happy about what he was trying to say.

"Are you smaying that we the World Government are bringing death and pain to the people of Sathir?" he said with a menacing tone on his voice. "We are doing this so we can better face the troubles that idiot Roger left us with. You remember Senza don't you? The Pacifista Projenct will make sure nothing like that will ever happen again."

"And we are going to sacrifice the population of Sathir, and who knows even the island itself for it?" Jin was trying to remain calm and maintain his cold and elegant tone of voice but this was proving to be something he just couldn't do at the moment.

"Jin! Calm down, we'll soon have enough Glantium, this situation will not last for long even if by a remote chance we are causing this situation it will soon be over!"

Jin was feeling frustrated was he not making himself clear?

"I think we should stop immediately do you have any idea how many rebels strike at our base a week? And I'm sorry for saying this but I cannot blame them!" he then took a small pause to breathe in and continued. "I have already had to kill several rebels!"

"JIN! Are you aware of what you're saying? Bessides isn't that katana of yours made of Glantium? How do you think it was made? Do you think your father magically made it appear out of thin air?"

Why did the conversation turn to this? He was talking about the effect of the Glantium mining process it had nothing to do with the past why were they changing the subject?

"I would appreciate you wouldn't change the subject!" he was feeling exhausted Sengoku seemed to understand something needed to be done but Vegapunk always had the final word Sengoku trusted Vegapunk more than the actual facts that he had in front of him.

"Do not waste all the trust we put in you, after the Senza incident we made you a special member of the World Government and we said you'd be in contact with every operation that would help us prevent the pirate actions in this new Pirate Age, so that's what we're doing so why do you question our methods!" Vegapunk was starting to get annoyed by Jins efforts.

"B-but!" he didn't even get to say anything else as he was cut off by Sengoku.

"Jin this as gone on for long enough it's best if we rest for now." Sengoku said in a calm but definitive voice.

"Y-yes sir!"

Aruka couldn't believe it, Hayasaka Jin the emotionless killing machine who wiped out a country of pirates was defending Sathir with all he had and apparently had been making several attempts to change what was happening in Sathir.

"N-no wonder when there was an attack at the base they always disabled the Glantium production systems." she whispered to herself.

Her head was running at 150 miles an hour but her train of thought was soon interrupted bythe door being opened by an exhausted looking Jin.

He was feeling like he had be trampled by a Sphinx he needed to take a shower and needed some rest fast!

When he exited the conference room he found himself dumbstruck there was a beautiful girl looking at him probably looking as surprised as him. He scanned the area to see what she wanted but before soon he understood, she had a familiar coat on her arm, that surprised him even more the recruit he had stumbled upon earlier was that girl.

"H-hi..." he heard her say.
