It had been a week since they had seen Kenji and Mika was starting to relax and calm down. She had given Sven the paper to hold onto, but the one thing that worried her was her memory. She was worried about losing it again.
"Hey Mika." Train said walking up next to her. "You ready to get this guy?"
"I'm ready." She nodded. Their current target was an escaped prisoner known as Leif Kerin.
"Alright then." He nodded. "Don't mess up!"
She smiled. "You're the one who I have to worry about messing up."
"Yeah right." He laughed.
Mika smiled glad she had Train to keep her happy. "Go get to your spot. Unless you want him to get away."
"Yeah, yeah." He shrugged and walked off.
Mika laughed. She sat back waiting, but blinked as Sven walked up. "What's up?"
"I got you something." He held up a small silver locket. "It has your name on it." He said showing her. "And after this mission I thought we could get a picture of us all to put in there... In case..."
Mika nodded putting it on. "Thank you Sven..." She clutched it in her hand and smiled.
Sven nodded. "Be careful with the Thief."
"I'll be fine." Mika laughed as he walked out. Once he was gone Mika opened the locket. It was empty, but she could imagine a picture of their group together in there. She closed it and tucked it into her shirt looking around waiting of Kerin. It was half-an-hour before she was him running. She got ready and then shot forward after him. She was almost on top of him when she heard a gun shot and rolled to the side dodging it. She looked up and froze. Jargon grinned at her behind his gun.
She jumped up and ran hoping to lose him. She could hear him behind her and sped up. She glanced back and gasped as he punched her, sending her crashing into a wall. She flinched.
"Hello Mika. Long time no see." He laughed putting his gun away.
"Jargon..." She whispered.
He smirked. "Now fight me Mika." He got ready. Mika tensed and then jumped over him. He grabbed her leg and flung her down stopping her. "Come now Mika! That's not how it works."
She flinched getting up and spun kicking him. He let go of her leg and jumped back. "Stop it Jargon!"
"No way." He laughed. "You're finally getting serious."
"I don't want to fight." She turned and ran. Sven! Where are you? Train? Eve? Jargon slammed into her knocking her off balance. She got up and frowned eyes flashing red briefly. "Fine then!" She shot at him and kicked him into the wall. She sighed turning to leave.
"Is that all?" She froze turning as Jargon got up calmly. "Your friends put up more of a fight then you."
Mika froze. "What... are you talking about?!"
"Those sweepers. I didn't want them interrupting us this time." He smirked. "So I took care of them."
"No..." Mika froze tears coming to her eyes. She closed her eyes.
"Heh. It was easy. I particularly enjoyed taking out that man with the eye-patch."
Mika froze and her eyes shot open, burning bright red. Jargon blinked, but didn't have long to think as she slammed into him. He gasped as her wings slashed at him angrily. He jumped back barely surviving the first attack. He was shocked. She had never been this strong. She slammed into him again, aiming to kill.
"Mika!" Sven yelled running up. He stared in shock. Mika held Jargon by the neck, glowing red eyes. "Mika?"
She looked at him calmly and Jargon took his chance to escape her grip and run. Mika frowned and spread her wings. She glanced at Sven and sent a wave of feathers at him before flying off.
"Sven!" Eve yelled running up with Train. They found him protecting himself with his briefcase. "Are you alright?" She asked at the same time as Train asked,
"Where's Mika?"
"She flew off." Sven frowned looking at the razor sharp feathers. "After attacking me."
"But why?" Train frowned.
"I don't know... But there was something different about her.. There was a look in her eyes... I'm worried about her."
"Then let's go find her." Train smiled. "We can talk to her then."
Sven nodded. "Let's go."
Jenos hummed as he walked along a lake back towards his car. He had parked away off so he could clear his head before driving. He had just finished a Cronos job, gone and gotten a drink, and now he was heading back to Cronos Headquarters. He paused spotting a girl at the edge of the lake past out. He walked over to her and blinked. She was pretty. She had short black hair streaked red. A small silver locket rested around her neck. He fingered it and saw a name on it. "Mika?" He looked at her and smiled picking her up. He carried her to his car.
