INTRUDER ALERT. INTRUDER ALERT. FRONT GATE BEING BREACHED.
"Lieutenant! What's going on!"
"You know full well what's going on!" The 2nd in command yelled. "Get to your places!"
"Yes, Ma'am!"
The whole place was in havoc. People were running to get to their stations. Others went outside to defend and fight in the battle about to become. Awashima was about to follow the others, when a voice stopped her.
"Awashima-Kun? Is something going on?"
She turned around to see the captain standing like the man he is. Back straight, face completely emotionless. He hasn't changed and will most likely never will.
The female suddenly straightened up and gave a salute. "Captain! There has been a breach in the front gate. I was just about to go there with the men, sir."
"I see." Munakata replied. "You did a good job, but I think a full squad is not needed."
Seri blinked in surprised. "What do you mean?"
He gave a small smile, and lifted up his glasses, the shining glint becoming a blinking red from the lights. "I have a feeling this encounter will be a bit special. I suggest you get going, Lieutenant."
The second in command froze in thought before having the command sink in. She immediately came out of her thinking train before giving another salute and running off.
The captain gave a small laugh. "You planned this out too perfectly, Fushimi-Kun."
Seri opened the doors to the outside, meeting in the center in the line of men. "What is going on this time?!"
"Lieutenant. There's someone coming."
"I have taught you correctly. You know what to do!"
"But Lieutenant, look…"
One of them pointed to the other side of the gate, making the female's head move towards that direction. She could see clearly the small tint of red coming closer and closer.
"Could it be a HOMRA clansman?" She thought to herself. "Why would they come here….?"
"Get ready for battle!"
"Yes, Ma'am!"
Each person took out their sword, a small glint of light shining in the process. Awashima looked straight at the glowing blob coming closer and closer each second.
"Awashima…Emergency battle…."
BAM.
A wave of fire surrounded the gate, having it melt to tiny little pieces. The glow of the ashes were so bright, the Blues had to look away. The female winced from the sudden change in contrast and closed her eyes. When the fire died down, everyone else looked back to see who their strong opponent was.
Seri opened her eyes slowly….But opened them fully in a quick second because of who it was.
"Yata…?"
The crow drifted his skateboard to the side, bits of red sparks appearing out of it. He went to an immediate stop and gave them a small glare. "Where is it?!"
Awashima blinked in surprise. "Yata-Kun, what are you talking about?"
"Don't tell me you erased everything?!" Yata exclaimed, a tint of panic struck in his voice. If they erased everything from back then….
Awashima froze in thought once more. Erased…? Erased what…?
"Lieutenant, what should we do?" One of the soldiers asked.
"….Let him be." Awashima said. The men drew back in surprise. "But Ma'am! He came here without reason!"
"Oh, he has his reasons all right." She said. "Let him be. Put away your swords."
Everyone was shocked to hear the sudden answer, but they slowly obeyed, putting their swords back to their rightful homes.
The Lieutenant gave a small nod, and looked back at the vanguard. "Yata-Kun, I do not know what you are talking about. I suggest you go home."
"I can't go back! I have to find out what Saru gave me!" Yata yelled, he got his skateboard ready, hopping on top of it just in case.
"Saru…Fushimi-Kun?" She raised a brow. "What did he give you…"
A sudden flashback came into her mind.
"….I see…"
She looked at the men behind him. "Let him in."
"But Lieutenant!"
"I said let him in!"
The others flinched from the sudden command, but they slowly drew back from the places, creating an opening for the vanguard to come in.
Yata was a bit surprised from everyone's sudden actions, but he gave a firm nod and zoomed past them on his skateboard. He soon jumped off, and ran inside, leaving the flat transportation system lying on the ground with its wheels up.
The soldiers stared at the second in command. "Lieutenant…"
"I said he has his reasons." She said simply.
"Oh, Fushimi-Kun…"
Yata ran in the Scepter 4 hallways, trying to recall where it was his creator made him. He went room, after room, after room, until finally, he found a space that didn't seem like the rest. He stopped, and slowly went inside of it, looking around and realizing that this was the room the third in command slept in.
"Saru…"
He looked around once more, trying to find the entrance of the lab. He searched everywhere, until he found a secret door at the wall from the end of the room. He pushed it, making it slide open as fast as the speed of sound. Then, he quickly went inside.
Everything was how it was from before. Nothing was touched. Nobody touched it. It was as if a day past, when really, it was three years.
The vanguard set his hand down on the multiple machines, papers, tables, anything that reminded him of that time. He kept walking towards the front, watching everything else, until he found himself in the main screen.
It was untouched. Everything was still there. The buttons on the keyboard, the multiple small files on the holographic screens, and the one huge filed that surrounded everything else. The file said "Open in Emergency."
In Misaki's case, this was an emergency.
He looked down at the keys, noticing a small red button in the middle of all the rest. He stared at it in what seemed like forever. He knew he should press it. Didn't he want to know why he was created?
Yet, there was a sense of fear inside of him. Of what might be the answer to that question.
Yata stared at it.
But soon, he had the strength to lift up his arm…
And put it towards the direction of the button. His finger became closer and closer towards it, remembering the words his creator told him.
Whenever you're ready, press the button, but I don't think you'll like it.
