Omni San Fransokyo Hotel was a historic hotel established during 1920's in a bank building boasting a grand lobby with elegant quarters and a posh steakhouse. A building that had both Hotaru and Makoto standing outside in amazement when had first arrived. Now as Makoto enter the lobby looking around for young thirteen old girl with shoulder length black hair with amethyst eyes wearing a deep purple tunic with matching leggings and lavender scarf held by a white rose pin. She immediately spotted an elderly man with a generally warm appearance talk with another man with short white hair and circular glasses.
"Professor Tomoe," Makoto called out getting the more young man attention now.
"Ah, Makoto, welcome back." Souichi Tomoe greeted her warmly pausing in his conversation with the elderly man, "Makoto, I like you to meet Robert Callaghan. He a professor at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology."
Makoto pulled down the hood of her jacket as she turn to greet Robert, "It nice to meet you, Professor Callaghan."
At first Callaghan didn't say anything as he took in Makoto appearance taking in her height, hair color and eye color before speaking, "Forgive me you look almost like my daughter."
Makoto eyes widen at Callaghan disheartened tone one she was all too familiar with, "I'm sorry. I bet she was a wonderful daughter."
"How did…" Callaghan began to ask when Souichi told him.
"Makoto lost her parents when she was seven. She been on her own since then." Souichi explain Makoto past.
"I'm sorry to hear that. No one should go through that sort of pain. Right, Souichi?" Callaghan asked making Souichi frown at him a moment before hesitantly agreeing causing Makoto to sense an underlining tension between the two men for a moment before it disappeared.
"Professor Tomoe, if you don't mind me asking. Where is Hotaru?" Makoto asked wanting to change the subject.
"She back in your room. Said she wasn't feeling well, Makoto could you go check on her for me? Robert and I still in the middle of discussing my transfer to SFIT." Souichi asked sounding very concerned for his daughter.
"Of course." Makoto said bidding farewell to the two men as she head over to the elevators taking a momentarily second to look over her shoulder to see Souichi say something to Callaghan causing the older man to frown.
Whatever it was it was pushed back of her mind as the elevator door ping open allowing her to enter them pressing the button for her floor. It was a quick ride up with no stops once the elevator had reached her floor. The doors open with her pass through them turning left walking down the hallway till she reach her room. Pulling out a cardkey for her pocket she slip the key in and waited till the light turn green.
At the green light she turn the doorknob allowing her to come into room. Closing the door slowly and quietly so as not to disturb Hotaru if she was a sleep. But the click of the door must have alerted the younger girl to her presence as soft gentle voice called out.
"Mako-chan, anatana no?"(Mako-chan, is that you?) Hotaru asked pushing the covers away from her body as she had been lying in bed.
"Sore wa watashi done yo ni Hotaru-chan o kanjite iru nodesu? Anata no chichi was, anata g yoku knjite inai to nobemashita."(It's me. How are you feeling Hotaru? Your father told me you are not feeling well.) Makoto said coming over to younger Senshi side then reaching over to turn on the bedside lamp.
"Watashi wa bakkin, watashi wa Kyarahan kara hanarete shutoku suru to itte imasu." (I'm fine, I just said that to get away from Callaghan.) Hotaru replied as she moved to sit up wearing some pajamas.
"Naze?"(Why?) Makoto asked watching as Hotaru eyes glance looking anywhere but at her.
"Izen no kyo Kyarahan wa watashitach no tsua o ataeta toki SFIT. Kare wa watashi no atama o nadeshi, mae ni watashi wa sore o shitte imashita. Watashi wa yokan shite imashita."(Earlier today, when Callaghan was giving us the tour around SFIT. He patted my head and before I knew it. I had a premonition.)
"Nani o, Hotaru-chan o mimashita ka?" (What did you see, Hotaru-chan?)
"A convention? Maybe a science convention? I see a lot of tech around the place and then…the whole place is on fire. Callaghan, he just standing there in the fire then he covered by darkness. I hear a boy yelling out a name…but I couldn't make out the name."
Makoto was quiet for a couple minutes. She didn't say anything at first as she was quite an aware just how powerful Hotaru sixth sense was along with reminding Outer Senshi and Rei. She need no proof as the Senshi Wars on earth were proof enough for her especially after their battle with Sailor Galaxia then Choas himself.
"Don't worry, Hotaru-chan. I'm sure we can figure out what it means. You want to call Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama? Maybe they can help?" Makoto asked bringing up her hand to Hotaru head stroking her black hair making Hotaru relax. Her mind racing over what black hair girl had just said.
Hotaru nodded, "Yeah, maybe they can help me understand this vision better."
"All right. I'll make the call." Makoto said brining out her cellphone looking through her contacts then press down on Haruka number.
She could hear it ringing when a knock on the door to their hotel room took her attention away. Makoto pass the cellphone over to Hotaru as she moved off the bed and head over to the door. Peeking through the small peep hole she saw it was just only Hotaru father making her sigh in relief.
"How my daughter? Is she okay?" asked Professor Souichi speaking in English since coming here.
Makoto switch over, "She just a little exhausted. The tour around SFIT must have taken a bit of toll on her."
Souichi let out a sigh, "Ah good. I was worried there….Robert hasn't been by…has he?"
Makoto blink, "No, why would he?"
Souichi shook his head, "It probably nothing. I'm going to say goodnight to Hotaru and head back to my room."
"Yeah, I'm just about to head down the lobby to ask for some extra towels." Makoto said giving Hotaru and her father some time alone knowing how much Hotaru cared about her father and vice versa especially after what was done to them.
As she walk down the hallway to the elevator an uneasy feeling made the hair on the back of her neck rise up. She sensibly look out the corner of her eye only to see for a second a shadow flick out.
By next morning Makoto and Hotaru were down in the lobby eating breakfast with Souichi when he spoke up. It caused Makoto to haul in her eating as Souichi had asked about her night and all that she had seen.
"Well…I did see a few things…but I got sidetrack when I came across a bot fight." Makoto said feeling nervous for some reason though she figure it was because Souichi was a father and an authority figure.
"Oh? How it the fight go?" Souichi asked getting Hotaru and Makoto to look at him in shock, "What? So long as Makoto here didn't place any bets. I'm okay with it."
"But isn't bot fighting illegal here?" asked Hotaru having hear it from some of people around the lobby.
"Betting is the illegal part, the fighting is alright." Souichi explained while Makoto still look at him in astonishment.
Snapping out of it Makoto slowly began to explain how she had gotten into the bot fighting club and how a young bot had come in with his very own bot asking to try his hand at it. Halfway through the story Souichi and Hotaru were laughing at what Hiro had done and how gullible Yama had been. She paused for a moment at the part were Yama was about has his men hurt Hiro when Souichi own phone rang. As Souichi answered his call the auburn hair woman turn to Hotaru.
"You know, you didn't tell me how the tour was at SFIT." Makoto said watching as Hotaru lips turn into a bright smile.
"It was amazing! The entire campus was huge and it had all the latest technology right there to help the students with their projects and research. Every professor has through own class with a certain number of students so they don't overlook anyone. Which was so awesome but what I really like was during the tour was when I meet this one girl who call herself Honey Lemon. She show me her own lab and how to make metal brittle with certain chemicals." Hotaru said animatedly remembering a large ball of Tustin carbine just to see it cover with pink smoke then hit with electricity turning it brittle.
"That really does sound amazing. How did she do that?" Makoto asked listening as Hotaru explain how use the chemicals Honey Lemon had used had caused just part of the brittle meant even if she didn't completely understand the explanation to it, it still sounded interesting.
"Hotaru, Makoto, I'm sorry about I'm going to have to cut our time short today. I'm need back at SFIT for some paperwork before I can begin any class for the next semester." Souichi said putting his phone away.
"Wait, papa can we come with you? I would like Mako-chan to meet Honey Lemon." Hotaru asked hoping the young Hispanic woman would be there.
"Sure, I don't see why not." Souichi said glad his daughter was able to make a friend here since his transfer would mean he and his daughter would be moving to San Fansokyo though a thought came to him wondering if Makoto would consider coming and staying with them here. 'Hotaru could always have an extra friend around. Plus it be good to have an extra person around the house so it just not myself and Hotaru all the time.' Thought Souichi awaiting Makoto answer.
"Sure, I would like to meet her." Makoto said giving Hotaru a genuine answer. It did sound like this Honey Lemon was a fun person.
The ride to SFIT wasn't a long one as their cab driver maneuver through the traffic quite easily coming to the college campus soon. Souichi thank their driver as Hotaru and Makoto come out looking over the campus. Once done her father was done Hotaru told him they would be heading over to the robotics lab in hope they could meet Honey Lemon.
"Alright, but if she not there. Just give Makoto the same tour that Robert give us, okay? That should pass the time till I'm done." Souichi said giving his daughter a pad on the head.
"Yes, papa." Hotaru said giving him a small wave as she and the auburn hair young woman began to walk towards the robotics lab.
The building for the robotics lab was huge made almost of glass and steel beams making Makoto whistling in astonishment as sunlight reflected off the glass windows. Once inside the younger girl lead Makoto down a hallway stopping at a large blue door opening it wide enough to let them both in.
"Whoa…" Makoto said watching as students and their projects exchange about the lab. The one to really capture her eyes was the cat in jet boots.
"Excuse me." Hotaru called out to a young woman working on what appear to be a bike. This woman was nearly as tall as Makoto with fair skin, pink lips and short somewhat scruffy black hair with violet streaks. Brown eyes stared at her with lavender eye shadow. Wearing a dark gray leather jacket, ripped dark gray leggings with violet patches with underneath a pair of black shorts with red highlights a matching white shirt, black trainers with blue on them and bare knuckle gloves.
She turn her head looking over her shoulder allowing her shorter black hair with a dye stripe purple to swipe across her eyes for a moment as she blew out her gum popping it the next moment. Her eyes took in what appeared to be a thirteen year old girl with amethyst color eyes and shoulder length hair. Wearing a soft purple long beach fuzzy sweater with matching pants a black belt and tennis shoes.
"Can I help you?" She asked sounding a bit annoyed at being disturbed her work. Her eyes flickering up when an older woman came to her side wearing large egg white sweater with a red undershirt and green pants with orange walk shoes. Her hair held in a high ponytail with emerald green eyes.
"I was wondering if Honey Lemon is here. I meet her yesterday but I didn't ask if she would be in today, you wouldn't happen to know would you?" Hotaru asked gently.
"Yeah, she here." Replied the shorter hair woman nodding towards her friend lab.
"Thanks!" Hotaru said taking Makoto hand and leading her over to Honey Lemon lab now.
As they walk on they pass another lab were a large burly man who was tall and very muscular with smooth dreadlocks and dark complexion wearing green and orange square sweater shirt with black pants and shoes appeared to be working on some type of equipment. Whatever it was it was quickly forgotten when they reach lab cover in various types of color stains.
Standing by one of the work stations was a beautiful girl with lightly tanned skin and long honey-blonde hair reaching halfway down to her back. She was tall and thin wearing large magenta rimmed glasses and platform heels with a white lab coat. Her focus at the time was on a piece of paper as her pencil hang over.
"Honey Lemon?" Hotaru called out getting the older girl notice.
"Hotaru." Honey Lemon said enthusiastically rushing over to the younger black hair girl and giving her a hug, "It so good to see you again."
"It's good to see you too, Honey. I brought my friend Mako-chan with me to meet you." Hotaru said returning the hug.
Mentioning Makoto had Honey Lemon looking up showing her bright green eyes to emerald green one. Raising her hand, Makoto give a small wave to the science coat wearing woman now.
"Mako-chan, oh I hope you don't mind me calling you that. But Hotaru here told me a bit about you." Honey Lemon said coming over to auburn hair woman side now.
"Not at all. Hotaru-chan, talk about you fondly this morning." Makoto said giving the blonde hair woman friendly nod placing her right hand on her hip.
"I was telling her about the experiment you show me yesterday." Hotaru said openly remembering the pink ball of metal.
"It was exciting wasn't it?!" Honey Lemon said happily getting Hotaru to nod.
"Do you think you can show Mako-chan?" Hotaru asked curiously.
"I don't see why not! Wait right here, I'll be right back!" Honey Lemon said dashing off now in her platform heels which amazed both Hotaru and Makoto.
"Honey Lemon?" Makoto asked Hotaru after the young chemistry student left.
Hotaru shrugged, "She told me it was her nickname."
"It's a strange nickname. I wonder who gave it to her." Makoto asked when a voice reply behind her.
"This guy right here!"
Makoto and Hotaru jump at the voice looking up only to see a circular face with large reptilian yellow eyes with black slip for irises with big red lips. Green-brown scale skin with red dots running a long its face staring right at them. Years of fighting yokais and their masters had left both them with incredible reflexes which Makoto and Hotaru reactions meant to hit first ask questions later.
It was only after their fist had collided with the reptilian face and very human like yell came out did Makoto and Hotaru realized this was a person in a Kaiju suit and not a real yokai. Horrified at what they had done Makoto moved to take off the head of the suit as Hotaru apologize repeatedly to person inside the suit.
"What happen?!" asked a concern male voice causing Hotaru to look up at a large burly man who was tall and very muscular with smooth dreadlocks and dark complexion with a very concerned look on his face as he come to Kaiju suit person side. Following behind him was the younger woman with the short somewhat scruffy black hair with violet streaks behind him from earlier.
"We hit him." Makoto said pulling off Kaiju head just then showing them a shaggy dirty blond hair kaiju-beanie wearing large bleeding nose man.
"You what?" asked scruffy black hair woman, her brown eyes narrowing at auburn hair woman.
"We didn't mean too! Mako-chan and I were talking when he show up behind us and shouted. When we look to see who was shouted all we saw was the Kaiju face….and well…" Hotaru slowly explain.
"Somehow, I'm not surprised this didn't happen sooner." Said the brown eye woman popping her bubblegum to make her point.
"Fred!" shouted Honey Lemon pushing a ball of metal to the side as she rush over to Fred side to help Makoto and Wasabi who were helping him up.
"What happen?" Honey Lemon asked as she check over Fred, "Maybe one of us should get Baymax from Tadashi lab."
"I'm fine, Honey. This is not the first time I been punch in the face, people seemed to think it weird when spring up behind them when mascot for the school. Which as I point out gets some pretty awesome reactions." Fred said as this wasn't even a bother to him.
"Because normal people in mascot suit don't go sneaking up behind other people." Scowled the script a shorthaired woman.
"But it great advertisement for school, GoGo." Said Fred waving off Wasabi who was trying to hand him a handkerchief.
"You're an idiot." GoGo said rolling her eyes at Fred words.
"Guys, can we please get back to fact Fred nose is bleeding here?! Do you know, blood-borne pathogens could be spreading here?! Or the medical conditions Fred could be having right now?" said Wasabi now trying to press the handkerchief to Fred nose himself.
"Are you okay? You do look so good…?" Makoto asked the burly man who look as if he was about to have a panic attack.
"Wasabi and yes, I'm fine…I think…I…fine…." Wasabi said but the sight of blood was making him a little dizzy mixing with the fact Fred blood was dripping onto the floor causing hazardous condition in the lab.
"Wasabi!" GoGo said moving over to the muscular man side placing her small hands on his large arms.
"I think I should sit down." Wasabi said which GoGo then directed him to Fred recliner helping him settle down.
Just as GoGo had settle Wasabi down into the recliner the door to their lab open allowing a tall slender young man to come into the lab his friend shared with one other. Just to come to a complete halt at seeing Honey Lemon concerned expression, Fred bloody nose, GoGo at Wasabi side looking a tad worried and said man himself was in Fred recliner looking a bit pale.
Yet in the midst of it was the woman last night who had stood between Hiro and a group of thugs ready to teach his younger brother a lesson was standing right here in nearly in front of him with sheepish look on her face. Next to her was a younger girl who look to be about Hiro age with shoulder length black hair with amethyst color eyes the held an anxious gaze to them apologizing to Fred. Getting the feeling he had just miss out of something major happing, Tadashi spoke up.
"Does anyone want to tell me what just happen here?" Tadashi asked getting a round of groans as his answer.
