Aurore's Moemon Adventure

Chapter 35

"Alright, we've got a problem with this Reaper." Aurore said, frowning. Everyone was sitting in the lobby on couches and chairs, not really the best place to have a serious conversation.

"Yeah, I'd say we do!" Lulu said, frowning. "There's a weird evil thing coming after us!"

"Alright, it looks like we don't have any choice." Aurore said, frowning. "We're going to have to call Sephy."

"NO!" Lulu said at the top of her lungs. "NOT SEPHY! NOT HER!"

Everyone looked at Lulu, shocked.

"Sorry, I just hate Sephy…" Lulu said, blushing, embarrassed.

"No, not Sephy." Aurore said, shaking his head. "But she was one of my teachers, like Sephy. In fact, I think you'd like her."

"Well, I guess, as long as she's not Sephy." Lulu said, shrugging. "Anyways, let's head out to where she is."

"Can I come?" Rin asked.

"No, I don't think anyone here should come, I think just Sora and I should go, since we're the ones involved." Aurore said, frowning.

"Nope, I'm coming too." Lulu said, frowning.

"Fine, you can come too…" Aurore said, frowning. "Now then, we need to head out. Shaw, I'm leaving it up to you to run the hotel."

"Sure, like anyone comes here anyway." Shaw said, shrugging.

"So, where is this place?" Lulu asked, frowning.

"It's in Driftveil." Aurore said, looking down.

"How are we supposed to get to Driftveil?" Lulu asked, shocked.

"Simple." Aurore said, walking down the pier. "By boat."

Aurore stepped onto a sleek black speedboat, gesturing to Lulu to get on.

"Wait, why are you just getting onto that boat?" Lulu asked, shocked.

"I own it." Aurore said, shrugging.

"…I guess that was a stupid question…" Lulu said, looking away.

"That's master, for you!" Sora said, smiling cheerfully, getting onto the boat.

"Eh." Lulu said, shrugging, climbing onto the boat. The black boat shot across the waters, heading straight for Driftveil City. Meanwhile, however, a young girl had stowed away on the boat.

"Ah'm going there too…" Rin whispered, frowning. "Ah'm gonna find out as much as ah can…"

The boat pulled to a stop at the pier next to the cold storage, and Aurore climbed off the boat, helping Sora and Lulu off.

"So where is this person?" Lulu asked, brushing her skirt off.

"She's a little… strange." Aurore said, frowning. "She lives in the cold storage."

"Oh, cold storage…" Lulu and Sora said, nodding. "COLD STORAGE?"

"I told you she was strange." Aurore said, shrugging, tying his boat up to the pier. "You coming?"

"Oh, sure, yeah." Lulu said, shrugging. After the three had walked a far enough distance from the boat, Rin jumped off and headed out after them.

The three maneuvered their ways through the storage boxes of the cold storage until they arrived at a large warehouse.

"It's in here." Aurore said, gesturing to the run down warehouse. The warehouse was surrounded by storage containers, and some weeds grew in the dying ground around it.

Aurore pulled the iron door of the warehouse open, a blast of cold air hitting the three of them like a slap in the face.

"She lives here?" Sora asked, shivering. "It's freezing!"

"She enjoys the cold." Aurore said, shrugging. He walked inside, the inside of the warehouse totally bare. It had a tiled floor and rusting walls, that also used to be the white of the tiles, and the roof had collapsed in some places. Other than that, there was nothing inside the building. Except for a table pressed up against the wall.

"So where is this lady?" Lulu asked, looking around, shivering. "Is she just gonna leave us here to freeze?"

"That's not how this works." Aurore said, frowning. "Micah is… Rather eccentric." Aurore walked up to the table, which was mounted on a podium. A chess board was visible atop the table.

Aurore sat down at the table. The back rows on both sides of the chess board pulled back, chess pieces moving up from inside of the podium, fitting into place. The pieces on Aurore's side of the field were a polished black metal, and the pieces on the other side were of an equally polished crystal.

"Greetings, Mr. Reinhart." A computer voice buzzed.

"Is that this Micah person?" Lulu asked, looking around.

"No." Aurore said, shaking his head. "It's a computer voice."

"A computer?" Sora asked, surprised.

"It seems I have to beat it in a game of chess." Aurore said, smirking. "Eccentric doesn't even begin to describe this."

"Yes, Mr. Reinhart." The computerized voice said. A monitor appeared from out of the table, static blitzing across it. "White shall start."

The computer began to process.

"Pawn to King's 4." The computer said. The white pawn sank down into the tile as the King 4 tile also sank down. The pawn then rose up on the second tile, both tiles returning but the pawn on King's 4.

"Amazing technology…" Aurore said, surprised.

"It is your turn, Mr. Reinhart." The computer ordered.

"I shall do the same move you did." Aurore said, taking the cool black pawn into his hand. "Pawn to MY King's 4."

Aurore moved his pawn two spaces forwards, right in front of the other pawn.

"It is my move." The computer said. The computer began to process. "Bishop to Queen's Bishop 4."

"Interesting…" Aurore said, chuckling. "Interesting… kufufu… Now we can begin."

Without another word, Aurore moved his king forwards a space, smirking.

Meanwhile, in a room shrouded in darkness, a figure stared at a video screen of the chess game, smirking.

"Ah, magnificent my dear Aurore…" The woman said, smiling, staring at the screen. "Show me how that brain of yours works."

EoS: And so it begins.

Lauren: Oh, so Aurore leads with the king, just like Lelouch in Code Geass?

EoS: I don't know what that is, but I'll say sure.
