Ch.8: For the one he loves
"Genesis…" Seiji muttered angrily.
"Hello Seiji-kun it's nice to meet you again." Genesis replied.
"Genesis why are you here now?" Giovanni wondered.
"Hm? Because I was worry if Kurapika-kun was alright after you threw him off the train Giovanni." Genesis turns to look at Kurapika.
"What is it that you want from me… my eyes? I'm not going to fall for your trick just so you know." Kurapika retort. Genesis made a bizarre look before replying back to Kurapika's question, "I don't know what you are talking about but all I want is to help you and Giovanni get your revenge… you still want that don't you Kurapika-kun? If not, then what is the use of living when you know who killed your family and friends? … And what about your home, you don't have a home to go afterwards do you now?"
"Don't listen to his words like how Giovanni did." Seiji reply angrily.
"How mean Seiji kun I meant what I said though." Genesis replied.
"…Get to the point already Genesis." Kurapika retort while he tried to loosed the chains with out their notice.
Genesis started to walk around Kurapika as he explains his intention, "Fine, fine, I'll just get straight to the point then Kurapika-kun. What we really want is to bring the kuruta clan back to life by starting with you and Giovanni since you two are the only ones left."
"Bringing the Kuruta clan back to life? That's impossible." Kurapika angrily replied.
"It does, doesn't it? But that'll be the fun thing Kurapika-kun because then you can be with everyone again! We can bring every single one of them, your friend Pairo and the others I mean." Giovanni respond.
Kurapika turn when he thought he saw a flash of light flickering outside and realized who was outside, "I… no, I won't let you bring back the kuruta clan… that's just isn't right!"
"So it's a no-" Genesis was interrupted when the wall fractured and was broken, "Oh what do we have here? It seems like the party started without us Illumi." Hisoka licked his card slowly as he came walking in.
"Well if it isn't Hisoka and Illumi." Kuroro muttered.
Hisoka sarcastically gave Kuroro a look, " Oh? Well if it isn't Kuroro, I can see that you are in chains, need any help getting that off?" Hisoka turned immediately at Giovanni and Kurapika, "I see some interesting and new faces." Hisoka chuckled.
Illumi saw Seiji and lean his head to his left, "Have I seen you before? I'm pretty sure I have-"
"No you haven't." Seiji swiftly replied.
"Genesis, what should we do now that more are coming this way?" Giovanni whispered.
Genesis looked at each one of their faces before answering back to Giovanni's question, "… Let Kurapika escape, we'll handle these cockroaches here right now."
When the chains fell off of Kurapika the Phantom Troupe appeared and saw Kuroro chained, "What the fuck is going on now!" Nobunaga snap.
"So it was something like this? I can't believe another member is aiming for our boss again…" Shalnark sigh.
Machi looked to see Kurapika and was about to use her strings on her until Killua came from behind her and tried to strike her. "I won't fall for that again you brat." she wacked Killua away but missed, "Kurapika this way." Killua ran and disappeared into the the shadows of the forest surrounding them; Kurapika grabbed Seiji and was going to leave but was stopped by Phinks, "And where do you think you're going?"
(-Tsk- I can't do anything now that my nen was stolen by Giovanni…) Kurapika thought. When Phinks got closer to Kurapika, Genesis yelled, "You can come out now!" everyone was confused for a second until Phinks was hit at his left waist suddenly and was sent flying into the furniture, "What the fuck just happen? I didn't even sense someone behind me…" Phinks got up quickly as the others looked at who attacked him and saw a figure shaped like a woman standing, "… I don't like doing this kind of stuff now that I'm supposed to be retired, …but I can't disobey my new master's order." she scratched her cheek.
Seiji face was petrified and he then turns to face Genesis, "What have you done!? This woman isn't supposed to be alive!" he slammed his fists onto the floor.
Genesis didn't look towards Seiji but kept his eyes on Hisoka as he spoke, "Hm…, I thought you would be happy to see her Seiji-kun…? I know I'm happy to see her and how about you Kurapika?"
Kurapika recognized who the woman was, "Aren't you woman who tried to warn me about someone in my dream; I believe Pairo called you Kiaria… Wait, then the kuruta woman you were talking about was her Seiji?"
She was quiet and didn't reply as another figure appeared, "Sorry Kurapika… it's too late for you to back down on Genesis's offer… he already revived us all, now you… no, all of us are now in this conflict together."
"It can't be… is that you Pairo?" Kurapika was reaching for Pairo until Killua reappeared again but with Mizuken this time and instantly grabbing Kurapika and Seiji, "What are you doing here still? Come on, your friends are waiting for you." they started to run from the cabin.
'They're getting away." Shizuku and Franklin were stopped when Illumi appeared in front of them, "No hard feelings but I'm just doing this because Hisoka asked me too."
"How fun this is going to be, a three way battle, let's enjoy this together everyone." Hisoka was the first one to attack, "Humph, I won't let you get the advantage in the battle Hisoka!" Machi stopped his attack that was heading for her and the other members while Kiaria and Pairo blocked for Genesis and Giovanni along with Kuroro. (What's this? Just by looking at them they feel like they should… be dead already.) Hisoka made a wicked grin, "Bringing some dead people back to life? How fascinating… Illumi you can get the rest, while I fight these new friends of ours."
Genesis gave an order before Hisoka could reach them, "Kiaria, Pairo, go all out since I have given you both immortal bodies." They both nodded.
Kiaria encountered Hisoka's attack as Pairo waited for an opening, yet Genesis whispered to Pairo another order, "Protecting Kiaria is you're first mission before killing these people, do you understand Pairo?" and Pairo nodded his head before helping Kiaria. Genesis walked out of the cabin, "Let's go Giovanni." Giovanni took Kuroro and disappeared.
"Feitan, Kalluto, Shalnark you three are come with me, the rest of you can handle them by yourself right?" Nobunaga replied.
"Just get going already Nobunaga, we'll handle these four and besides I need to pay the woman for what she did." Phinks gave a sneer at Kiaria.
…
Meanwhile;
"Mizuken, why did you stop me? Pairo was back there!" Kurapika bellowed after they stopped running and was far enough from the cabin. Kurapika was about to go back until he heard Sapphire call out their name, "Seiji, Kurapika!" Sapphire hugged Seiji tightly. "Kurapika are you hurt anywhere?" Kurapika notice Leorio, Gon coming out of the nearby cave, "No, I'm fine…thank you though."
"Kurapika come here for a second, I need to talk to you." Mizuken and Kurapika was a few distance away from the others as Mizuken continued to talk. "I won't let you go back to see Pairo or whatever your friend name was Kurapika." Kurapika was alarm, "What! I understand that you are being careful about me but-" "You don't understand what I'm trying to say Kurapika… Pairo could've have been under control by that man." Mizuken and Kurapika didn't take notice of Seiji until he spoke, "So are you saying that that was Genesis plan B if his plan A didn't work?" Seiji replied. "Yes that was what I was trying to say Kurapika and who knows if they were actually alive, they may have been fakes."
"No they weren't fakes, that's for sure and it's all because of that red head's nen powers." Seiji retort.
"How so?" Gon was right next to Seiji and was getting curious by the minute; the same goes to Killua, Leorio, and Sapphire who were also listening to their conversation. "Just keep explaining since we heard everything by now." Leorio answered.
Seiji hesitate for a second, "…this information is accurate because I did some research of my own so listen well everyone; Genesis has the ability to make real bodies and revive dead people just out of wood and putting their souls into them. Though it is true that they are alive and well again but there is the fact that the person he revives would have to follow his orders just like Kiaria and Pairo."
"So he really meant that he will bring the Kuruta clan back…" Kurapika mumble.
"But that doesn't change the fact that he'll be in full control of them like puppets." Killua angrily replied.
Gon spoke, "What I'm wondering is if he really intents to help Giovanni with his revenge or is he just playing with Giovanni's feelings?" They all turn and realized what Gon just said. "If so then what would be his true objective if not helping Giovanni…" Seiji replied.
(Giovanni being used…?) Sapphire thought before she answered their question, "Maybe world domination?"
"That's… well that is the only thing left on the list- wait a minute! We won't know if that is his true objective unless we find out the reason why he is doing all of this." Mizuken retorted and point towards Kurapika.
"True… but where will we ever find data about Genesis?" Kurapika replied.
"I think I might know just where to look… because if Genesis knew my name for a very long time and knew about my brother's death. Then he just might have come from E-VO, my home, so if we go there can get data on Genesis if he really came from there. But first let's get some rest; we have a long journey ahead of us since E-VO will be our destination." Seiji went inside the cave first and was followed by the rest. Except Gon notice that Sapphire wasn't coming in, "Is something wrong Sapphire?" Sapphire swiftly answered back, "No I'm fine, thank you Gon." Gon didn't believe her words but decided to let it slide just this once.
…
In the dim light Genesis came walking into the old building, "Giovanni I'm going to take a nap and don't kill Kuroro just yet, we still need Kurapika here." Giovanni gave Genesis a hesitant look, "…Fine." (Genesis has been acting a little weird ever since we revived that woman and boy… I believe their name was Kiaria and Pairo.) Giovanni thought and left Genesis.
Genesis looked at the moonlight that was coming in from the little holes in the ceiling, "Hm… nah, I'll leave those holes there." He continued to walk and entered a big room, "E-VO wake up, I'm back." The lights turn on automatically throughout the building when the screen inside the room turned on, "Hello Genesis, how are you?" a male voice echo in the room. "Don't ask me about that right now, I'm going to sleep so keep your security up on both Giovanni and Kuroro." Genesis sat on a comfortable chair in front of the screen and closed his eyes slowly and started to remember his past.
Flashback;
At the time, Genesis was around the age of 12 and he was with his father; when his father was near death he told Genesis a secret, "Genesis, when you were born you had two brothers born with you…and now they are living as experiments at a place called E-VO… it's an underground lab center of experiments. Your mother was one of the experiment subjects and at the time we didn't know that she was pregnant… because of that you and your brothers have unique abilities unlike the rest of us…" Genesis didn't understand what his father meant at the moment until Genesis went to take a look at the place. Yet, when Genesis got there the place was in ruins already, "What happened here?" he continued to walk until he entered the control room of the entire building, "Welcome Experiment 3." "What, experiment 3?" Genesis muttered.
"Yes you are experiment 3 that was born from experiment 2." The screen turned on and showed Genesis what happened to him after he was born.
The screen playing;
A tan young man carrying a baby came running to an older man in a white cloak, "Sir, we need to do something or this child will die!" The man scratches his black hair, "If he's like that, then we don't need him, throw him in the waste Seth."
"But, sir this is your own child you're talking about!?" the young man retort.
The man's dark brown eyes pierce into the younger man, "We don't need a weakling like him for our experiment since he'll just die anyways… besides we still have his two younger brothers, they'll do just fine so get going already and throw that thing away."
"Yes sir…" the young man ran until he got to his destination, "Sorry that you had to have a father like him… if only your mother was still alive to make him understand the importance of one's life then maybe you could still survive with that little weak body of yours." He brushes the baby's hair, "you looked exactly the same as your mother… crimson hair, blue eyes, and that fair skin of yours. Maybe your father didn't want you just because you have the same features like your mother, but that isn't fair of him to let you die and let your two younger brothers live…" the man looked behind himself and saw no one was there to watch him, "…I-I want you to live!" he wiped his tears and jumped into the waste and started to run to the other side until he was shot directly in the throat "-gasp-!" (No, no, no, no!) He thought as he fell down and accidently let go of the child.
Seth tried to reach towards the baby who was only a few inches away from him until the person who shot him came and pointed his gun at Seth's head, "He knew this might happen my friend… you know the rules of E-VO, if you tried to leave with one of our experiments then the punishment is death by breaking the oath. And this child was born from a mother who was our very first successful experiment and so this child counts as one Seth." Seth only glared into the gray eyes of the blonde head, (Shut up and kill me already…I knew this was going to happen…) He thought as another shot rang in the silent air.
The man kneel down and closed his friend's eyes, "Goodbye old friend… now for the child's turn to die…" the young man turned around to shoot the child.
End of video;
"The man named Seth was trying to save with me, and the man who was about to shoot me was father… the man who took care of me for 12 years." Genesis muttered.
The robotic computer voice continued to talk, "You were consider as a failure and was suppose to die, however that man took you and broke the oath he made." After it said that Genesis asked what happen to E-VO and what happened to his brothers, "My name is Genesis not experiment 3 and what happen here, what happened to my two younger brothers?" "Experiment 4 and 5? They were the ones who destroy this place two years ago and fled." Genesis then asked the voice for their names and it told him, "Their names were Harukea and Seiji Yair; they left with a man who was related to Seth." Genesis couldn't stand it, the fact that they left the place and never came to look for him, their other brother. But at the same time Genesis could understand that maybe the lab people never mention him to them because they believed that he was dead. "You and your brothers are connected in mind and body you can find them quickly Genesis if that is what you want? I can help you too." the computer replied. Genesis ignored the request of the computer and decided to leave the old building, but when he got out he questioned himself, "What to do… where to go Genesis…?"
After 8 more years of being alone, Genesis was 20 years old, but he noticed that his body was still at the age of when he was 12, (It must be a trait from my mother, maybe that's why my body is ageing really slowly.) He thought and continued doing his usual routine in life of stealing food. One day Genesis was caught by a blonde locks woman who was a hunter, "What do you think you're doing boy?" Genesis couldn't get the hunter to loosen her grip and instead it became tighter, "Let go!" Genesis retort with his high pitch voice and the woman did let go of him but at the same time she hand him some money, "Here, you shouldn't steal anymore boy." "Boy!? I'm older than you by one year!" Genesis replies angrily. The hunter only chuckled, "How are you 20 if you look much younger than me? Well just make sure you don't steal again or I'll have to take you to the officers." She left him standing there and by the next day Genesis stole some more belongings on purpose to get the hunter angry but it didn't work how he planned it to be, "I know you did that on purpose… are you lonely, is that why you keep bothering me? If so, then come hang out with me during work." Not waiting for him reply she grabs Genesis's hand and went to where she worked at.
A month pass by and Genesis was sitting on a swing thinking about something, (I couldn't get her to leave and it became a daily life routine for us to run into each other and she still believes that I was just a boy, but I get this feeling that she know my real age.) Genesis then notices the woman coming to his direction with an upsetting look on her face, "Genesis, I'm going to go do my next mission so this is goodbye." Genesis was filled with joy when he heard, but at the same time he felt a pain in his chest. She continued to talk, "I won't be able to see you again Genesis but please don't try to steal again okay?"
Genesis wondered, "Where are you going…? That's right I never knew your name and it's already been a month since we talked to each other." "…I'm going to my next job; here this is a charm I made, see? I never like the color red so you can have this one and I have the same one on my wrist, except mine's is green … Genesis I'll come back to see you next year." Genesis knew at that moment that she avoided telling him her name but decided to not think about it too much. The woman putted on a pleasant smile on her face as she tied the other charm onto Genesis's wrist, "Make sure to keep it safe until we meet again Genesis." he looked at the burgundy charm then look to watch her leave.
A year later, Genesis's body grew and now he in fact look like he was in his 20s, "Why is the hair so damn long?" he wondered as he walked out of town. As days goes by as he walked through cities and towns Genesis didn't know what to do until, on a rainy day as he was resting in a old building he saw the burgundy charm slip off of his wrist and he then memorize that the hunter never came back to meet him, "-Humph- that hunter never came back…" Genesis leans against one of the stones and felt something poking his head. When he turned around to see what was poking him, his eyes grew wide as he grabbed the emerald color charm that was lying on top of the stone, "This looks exactly the same as mine and its green!" he realized that the two stones were actually gravestones, "Kiaria… and the other one is Harukea Yair… where have I heard that name from?" Genesis started to remember about his brothers and E-VO. But at the same time he gained memories that didn't belong to him. Genesis froze as he saw the memories of the blonde woman getting stabbed by a man with an identical face to Genesis but with dark brown hair.
The memories stopped flowing into his head when he heard voices from behind the old building, "Seiji!" Genesis walk quietly and saw a man introducing the white hair boy to the girl, "Seiji Yair… you are my only blood relative that is still alive and now you live like this? This... I won't except how you are now..." Genesis held onto the green charm and remembered what the computer said, "You are connected to you're brothers by mind and body..."Genesis turn to look once more and then he disappeared.
End of flashback;
"Genesis, two people are back, one is a woman and the other a boy." replied the computer.
"I see thank you." Genesis closed his eyes once more and fell asleep again.
