Chapter 8

(Third Person P.O.V.)

Akihisa and Yuuko had just parked the car and arrived at where they would be staying at in Baja for their vacation, a very nice hotel that looked exactly as it was pictured in the brochure, the hotel was as pictured your basic five star tropic beach get away, it was one of those kind of hotels you would probably normally see in romance movies or marked as one of those this famous person stayed here in this room of this kind of hotels.

Akihisa and Yuuko then made their way to front desk area to check in with the receptionist, luckily for them many if not all of the employees including the receptionist spoke very good and fluent English and thanks to Akihisa transferring to a new high school in California in the United States which would also be his new place of residence, his English became much better thanks to him having much better teachers in his new American high school then his old high school back in Japan, which was an improvement.

After checking in and getting their room keys for the room they would be sharing and staying in both Akihisa and Yuuko made their way up to their room while a bellhop would bring their luggage up to their room suite.

Upon entering their room Akihisa and Yuuko both saw that their room was one that looked like one that a romantic and happily married couple would stay in and even dream of, as it had a large single bed meant to be shared by two people, a balcony with a beautiful and romantic view of the ocean down below and a large and luxurious bathroom that made it feel more like an expensive luxury spa covered in white marble as far as the eye could see.

Akihisa then looked to Yuuko who simply looked back to him and blushed.

"So Yuuko what do you think, have I outdone myself? I talked to my big brother Akito and he was the one who recommended this place for us to stay at during our Spring Break vacation and even gave me the money I needed to afford for us to stay here as a reward for my improved grades at school." Akihisa said happily with a bright and warm smile on his face.

"You certainly have Akihisa, I mean I guess it just goes to show when you have people who really do care about you and your happiness then you really can have a happy life and do good in school." Yuuko said happily with a bright smile on her face.

"Yeah, I guess me becoming Max Steel and as a result of that both of us moving to California in the United States, transferring to an American school and working for my big brother really was a blessing, and one that I am so thankful and grateful for." Akihisa said happily with a bright smile on his face.

Just then a knock came at the door of Akihisa and Yuuko's room, Akihisa then answered the door and it was the one of the bellhops, he had brought their luggage up to their rooms, but before they took their luggage Akihisa looked at one of the suitcases and noticed that it looked like one of his but it wasn't as it had a tag on it that read, property of Kengo Takeuchi, Akihisa then pointed this out to the bellhop who then deeply and sincerely apologized and gave them the rest of their luggage before leaving to go find Akihisa's actual suitcase that belonged to him and did not have the tag on it.

Akihisa then went back into the room and sat down on the bed now feeling a little bit depressed again, seeing this Yuuko then sat next to him and noticed he had a depressed look on his face.

"Akihisa, what's wrong?" Yuuko asked in a slightly worried tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"I looked at a tag on a wrong suitcase the bellhop brought to our room by mistake and it said property of Kengo Takeuchi on it, jeez I can't believe this, I'm a Takeuchi magnet." Akihisa said in a slightly frustrated tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"Hold on Akihisa, Takeuchi is a very common Japanese surname, for all we know the owner of that suitcase might just have the same last name is all and might not actually be blood relatives of both our current teacher and one of our former teachers back in Japan who are both siblings." Yuuko said to Akihisa in a calming tone of voice and matching facial expression as she tried to cheer her boyfriend up.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Akihisa said happily with a slight smile on his face.

"Of course I am right, and even if it turns out I am wrong, we shouldn't let that small little thing ruin our vacation. Now come on, let's get changed and hit the water." Yuuko said in a happy, cheerful and enthusiastic tone of voice and matching smile on her face, as she continued to cheer her boyfriend up.

"Yeah, let's go." Akihisa said happily with a bright and warm smile on his face.

The two of them both then went down to the beach where they both found a public changing area and both of them changed into their swimsuits.

Akihisa came out wearing a green and black N-Tek short sleeve surfing wet suit, and Yuuko came out wearing string bikini that had one side that was yellow and the other side was pink on both the top and bottoms.

Akihisa then looked at Yuuko with a bright red blush.

"Yuuko is that a new swimsuit?" Akihisa asked in a curious tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"Yeah, it is my old one which was all yellow doesn't fit anymore." Yuuko said in a happy tone of voice and matching facial expression that her boyfriend noticed.

"Oh, okay then, it looks really good on you." Akihisa said with a blush on his face as he continued to look at his girlfriend, noticing exactly why Yuuko bought and changed into that new swimsuit, he looked and saw that Yuuko had gone through a slight growth spurt, her bust size had increased slightly by a little bit and so too did her hip size, giving her some very nice curves to the shape of her body and her physique.

Akihisa then went and brought the car so that they could unload their jet skis from the trailer behind it, they were N-Tek Hydro Jets, currently the best Jet Skis on the market, but Akihisa's and Yuuko's both were custom made to be able to move faster and maneuver better through the water, thanks to their status as N-Tek Secret Agents.

Soon the two were both out in the water riding their Hydro Jets and having fun and a good time, when suddenly Yuuko spotted something floating in the water and road up and picked it up as Akihisa followed her.

"What is it Yuuko?" Akihisa asked his girlfriend curiously.

"It's a digital camera, and look what it says on it." Yuuko said calmly with a curious facial expression as she pointed to some writing on the camera that read, property of Shogo Takeuchi, on it.

"Jeez another Takeuchi, I just can't get away from them, can I!" Akihisa said in slightly annoyed and frustrated tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"Hold on Akihisa, it might not be a bad thing." Yuuko said in a calm and collected tone of voice and matching facial expression as she tried to calm her boyfriend down.

"Really, how so?" Akihisa asked curiously.

"If the owner of this camera really is related to our teacher and we find him and return it to him then maybe we can ask him to put a good word in with that teacher of our for you." Yuuko said in a cheerful and enthusiastic tone of voice and matching facial expression.

Upon hearing this Akihisa started to feel better and hopeful that that might be the case.

"Well okay then, when you put it like that, then I guess it is worth a shot then, but there is just one problem though Yuuko, we don't know what the owner of this camera looks like, how can we return it to him when we don't even know what the owner looks like in order to recognize him when we look for and try to find him?" Akihisa said in a calm, collective and inquisitive tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"You make a good point there Akihisa. But I mean we have the digital camera, so why look through the pictures on it and see if there is a picture of the owner on it?" Yuuko said in a calm and collected tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"Yuuko, are you sure we should be doing that, I mean isn't that an invasion of other people's privacy." Akihisa said in a calm and collected tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"Hey I don't see you averting your eyes." Yuuko said in a calm and collected but argumentative tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"Hey I said we, didn't I?" Akihisa said in a calm and collected tone of voice and matching facial expression.

Akihisa and Yuuko both then started looking through the pictures in the camera and found pictures of both of the two Takeuchi brothers, as well as a picture of the two brothers together with Mr. Takeuchi, one of the teachers at Akihisa and Yuuko's current school in America, in Del Oro, but that's not all as one of the teachers from their old school in Japan, Ms. Takeuchi was also in the picture standing together with Mr. Takeuchi and the two boys who they assumed were his two sons and another woman whom they assumed was Mr. Takeuchi's wife and therefore the mother of the two boys.

"Well it looks like they really are related to both one of our current teachers in American and also one of our old teachers back in Japan." Akihisa said in a slightly shocked tone of voice and matching facial expression as they kept looking through the pictures on the camera.

They then started seeing pictures of what looked like pirates, which surprised them.

To Be Continued

Flashback Omake

In N-Tek headquarters Akihisa was lying on a bed in an infirmary he then slowly began to wake up as the lights of the ceiling entered his eyes and made them adjust, Akihisa looked and saw his older brother Akito and also Yuuko standing by his bed.

"Akihisa?" Akito asked worriedly before Akihisa replied, "Akito?" weakly.

"Big brother, where am I? Akihisa asked weakly.

"You're in in the infirmary in N-Tek headquarters, Akihisa, I think it's finally time I told you the truth about N-Tek." Akito said in a calm and collected but still serious tone of voice.

"What are you talking about, N-Tek is a company that makes things like high tech surfboards and Extreme Sports equipment." Akihisa said in a very confused tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"Not quite my dear little brother, you see that is only a front for what we really do, which is intelligence, counter intelligence, and anti terrorism." Akito said in a calm and collected tone of voice and matching facial expression, which shocked both his younger brother Akihisa and Yuuko.

"Wait so then what happened earlier was-"

"A security breach, yes." Akito cut Akihisa off and finished his sentence for him in a calm, collected and serious tone of voice.

"Wait hold on, that explains a lot but what about that weird green gunk that spilled all over on to Akihisa?" Yuuko asked in a shocked but still slightly confused tone of voice and matching facial expression

"That was a special hibernation fluid used to control an experimental Nano technology project called The Max Probes that we have been developing here at N-Tek." Akito said in a calm and collected but still serious tone of voice, just as the female doctor who is one of N-Tek's top scientists walked into the room.

"Yes and the bad news is, they have now completely become part of your physical system, your skin, hair, teeth, nails, internal organs, even your muscles and bones." The female N-Tek scientist, Dr. Yevchenko said in a slightly worried tone of voice and matching facial expression as she walked in while holding Akihisa's medical charts.

"Wait, tiny machines, inside my body, get them out!" Akihisa said in a slightly scared and worried tone of voice and matching facial expression.

"We can't." Dr. Yevchenko said in a calm and collected but still slightly worried tone of voice as she looked at Akihisa.

Akihisa then passed out from the shock from hearing that, and afterwards several hours had passed and Akihisa's condition was getting worse as he laid in bed with a medical breathing device on his face.

"There has to be something we can do?!" Akito said in serious tone of voice and matching facial expression, as Yuuko sat in the corner shaking, worried for scared and worried for Akihisa.

"Actually there is, if The Max Probes have integrated with his organic system, then the reason why he is weakening is because the probes are literally starving to death." Dr. Roberto Martinez said in a calm and collected tone of voice as he walked into the room.

"Who is this kid?" Akito asked Dr. Yevchenko who standing next to him curiously.

"Dr. Roberto Martinez, N-Tek science division, a prodigy young genius and expert in Nano Technology." Dr. Yevchenko replied in a very calm and collected tone of voice.

"The Max Probes need a type of energy called transphasic energy in order to survive, but there is 50/50 chance that it could just end up killing him faster." Roberto said in a slightly worried tone of voice and matching facial expression.

Before Akito or anyone else could say anything, Akihisa woke back up and weakly spoke.

"Do it!" Was all Akihisa said in a very weak tone of voice

"Akihisa?!" Akito said in a worried tone of voice and matching facial expression as he turned and looked at his younger brother.

"He has brainiac written all over him, and besides we don't really have any other and better options." Akihisa said in a very weak tone of voice as yuuko came up to his bedside and put a hand on his face.

"Martinez, you have my permission to do the procedure, if there is even a slight chance that it will save my younger brother's life I will take it, do it." Akito said in a very calm and collected tone of voice and matching facial expression, as Roberto simply replied, "Yes sir." in a calm and collected tone of voice.

Soon Akihisa who was sitting in a wheelchair was being wheeled in by Roberto into some kind of energy chamber generator and sat him down in a chair in the very middle and center.

Roberto then left and joined Akito, Yuuko and Dr. Yevchenko in the control room.

"Fire when ready, bro." Akihisa said in a weak tone of voice.

"Hang tough Hermano. Beginning transphasic energy transfer process now" Roberto said in a calm and collected but still serious tone of voice as he pulled a switch and turned the machine on, filling Akihisa with transphasic energy and making him scream as the process was very painful for him but in the end it worked, after the energy transfer process they checked Akihisa's vitals and he was all clear and breathing normally again.

Yuuko was now crying happily as the boy she got to know and became friends with if not already more then just friends with in such a short amount of time had survived and continue to live.
