~~~Chapter Nineteen~~~
~~~Previous~~~
Neuro gets Akane to send Yako the password prompt to help her with the password. With Godai gone, I stand up. "Neuro, I'm going to try to speed up you're healing."
Neuro doesn't say anything but looks interested. I close my eyes after standing in front of Neuro. My wings spread out wide behind me as my body began to glow green. I concentrate the energy on my hands. Once I have, I place them on Neuro's chest and push the energy inside his body. My wings fold shut as I open my eyes.
I look down at Neuro. "How is it? Can you move your body more freely?"
Neuro looks back at me with the same emotion as when my body changes in his eyes. I was about to open my mouth to ask Neuro if he was alright when he grabbed my arm and pulled me onto his lap. I place my hand on his chest to keep from falling. I looked up at Neuro, and once again, before I realised what was happening, I felt something warm on my lips.
I blink a few times before realising that Neuro has placed his lips on mine. I go to pull back, but Neuro pulls me closer. I open my mouth to speak to Neuro, but he takes that chance to sneak his tongue inside.
I slowly give in and kiss Neuro back. We part when we run out of air, saliva attached to our mouths. Neuro moves forward again and kisses me much deeper than the first time.
When we part, I rest my head against his neck as I regain my breath. I get comfortable and end up falling asleep.
~~~Neuro's POV~~~
I stare at Yuuki's face as she falls asleep against my neck. Her lips were red and slightly wet, and I couldn't help feeling incredibly smug about her reaction to our kiss. However, my body had quite a reaction as well.
I lift my left hand and clench my fingers before unclenching them. The energy from Yuuki helped my body speed up its healing. I lean back against the chair and get comfortable.
~~~Yuuki's POV~~~
I wake up when Neuro lifts his left arm. I open my eyes to see it is dark outside. A fly comes near Neuro's finger, which is destroyed with a small burst of his power. "2% until I'm fully recovered." He sits up, his arm around my waist. "But I can't wait anymore."
I hear footsteps running up the stairs just before Yako opens the door, breathing heavily.
"Yako, did you find the password?" Neuro demands.
"Yea, I can only think of one thing," Yako replies, confidence shining in her eyes.
Neuro smirks as his hair comes undone. "Good job."
"You did well, Yako." I praise her with a soft smile, causing her to look at me proudly.
We meet up with Godai, who has a helicopter. "You guys want to hear how I got one of these babies?"
Neuro kicks him in the side of the head before sitting down. Godai lifts the helicopter in the air, and he flies toward the warship.
~~~Present~~~
Shots are fired from the warship as we get closer. Yako and Godai let out a gasp before Godai shot back. There is an explosion as the missiles smash into each other, creating a cover of ash.
When the ash disappears, the ship shoots at us again. It hits the helicopter, but luckily, Neuro uses his tool to make us invisible. I use my wings to fly while Neuro is holding onto a missile, laughing, Yako and Godai struggling to hold on, Yako screaming, of course.
When they reach the ground, Neuro lets go of Yako and Godai. Yako lands on her knees while Godai lands on his face. Neuro, of course, lands on his feet. I hover in the air before folding up my wings, and I land on my feet next to Neuro.
"That was the scariest thing I've ever experienced," Yako admits pale.
"Using the Evil Blind to reduce our presence and make us invisible to radar was good, but I didn't have the power needed to cover the entire helicopter. The missile was just the right size to cover us. Let's finish off the sphinx now. Now, wake up." Neuro picks up Godai by the back of his jacket. "I still need you to help." He hits the back of Godai's head non-stop until he wakes up.
Neuro gives him a warship cap and has him head inside to check on the supercomputer after giving him the Evil Fiction to help him stay in character.
~~~3rd POV~~~
Godai walks through the corridors, sweating slightly as he does. Is this really okay?
He thinks back to Neuro's orders. 'You go to the basement and stop the supercomputer from working. Just wear this, and people will not get in your way.'
Godai adjusts his hat as he walks by, the people saluting him as he does. He stops in front of a door. It opens, and he heads inside. The door closes when he steps inside. I really got in.
He looks around before his eyes widen when he sees what he is looking for in the corner. That's it… He walks over to it, comes to a stop and looks at it, sweat dripping down his cheek. I just need to destroy this…
He reaches behind his head and pulls a bat from the back of his jacket. He lifts the bat and brings it down.
~~~Yuuki's POV~~~
The three of us go separately and head into a different room.
Neuro blocks off the door we just entered. "This barricade won't last long, but before that, we will finish it. Servant Number Two should be destroying the supercomputer now. After I've bypassed the password prompt, it'll be time for you to appear."
"Understood." Yako agrees and begins to unbutton her coat.
"Anyways, Yako." Neuro begins.
"What?" Yako asks.
"Will I be able to crack the password?" Neuro question.
"I don't think it would work," Yako admits.
"I see." Neuro sticks his hand into the computer screen. White electricity surrounds and crackles around his body as he does.
~~~3rd POV~~~
Neuro appears in front of the sphynx. "That dumb ass Servant Number Two."
With Godai, he had been held back, causing him to drop the bat on the ground. "Fuck! Let go of me, you bastard. LET GO!" He shouts.
Back with Neuro, he is being attacked by the energy sent from the sphinx. He continues to dodge out of the way and go further up as the energy follows him. It merges and causes an explosion. Neuro lunges out of the smoke left behind, his hand turning into a blade. He slices into the sphinx before his eyes widen as his body flickers. He turns as the sphinx's paw comes towards him. He places his arms over his head, but the sphinx disappears. "Godai, you've made me wait long enough."
With Godai, he has managed to escape and destroy the supercomputer. He holds the bat before him, breathing heavily as he does. "Take that, you bastard."
Just then, a hand reaches up and grabs hold of his arm. More hands reach up, and they pull him down.
Back with Neuro, he destroys the sphinx and makes his way past it. He looks up to see a diamond structure in front of him.
With HAL, he is looking at the different screens. "What's happening? The sphinx was destroyed." He presses a screen, showing Godai on the ground, knocked out. "Katsuragi Yako's and Yuuki's human friend…Since when? Don't tell me…"
"The Sphinx is destroyed," Neuro states, causing HAL to look up. "The only thing that's left is the password. My slave will now crack the password." Neuro places his hand in front of him, and the password screen appears.
HAL stands. "Katsuragi Yako? But I'm afraid that it won't work. A password that even you can't crack…What can she do?"
"Now, Yako." Neuro orders.
~~~Yuuki's POV~~~
It isn't long before the password bar appears on the computer screen. Yako walks up to the computer screen, pale and sweating. She puts in the password and presses enter.
~~~3rd POV~~~
"That's impossible!" HAL denies.
"Beautiful, Yako." Neuro praises. He takes a step forward, and he takes his true form. The energy surrounds HAL. "Then, Itadakima-" He is cut off when HAL dodges out of the way.
"It's not over! It's still not over!" He denies it as he moves away.
Energy surrounds Neuro before he flies after him. The energies between the two of them collide.
~~~Yuuki's POV~~~
She put in the correct password and broke in. "Seems like the password was successfully cracked..."
There is banging coming from the door. Yako backs away and hides behind my back. A window is smashed, and we see a group of people sitting on each other's shoulders, the top two holding a steel beam.
"Not good. Neuro!" Yako yells before stopping. She leans down and picks up a metal pole. The steel beam is swung towards the window once more. Yako closes her eyes until there is a crash. We both see they have crashed to the floor, the steel beam wrapped around a few of them.
I sense Neuro's energy behind me. I look to see a green glow surrounding him. Yako looks when Neuro starts laughing. "I've satiated myself with such a top-quality mystery. I'm filled with power. I can move now! It feels so refreshing!" He crashes through the barricaded door, a trail of dust behind him as he laughs.
"The pair standing there? Katsuragi Yako? Katsuragi Yuuki?" HAL's voice comes from the computer screen. Yako lets out a gasp. HAL is pinned in place due to spikes. "I lost. If the enemy was just Neuro alone, I thought that I wouldn't lose. It seems like your existence...is something I miscalculated."
Yako gulps before taking a breath. "At first, I thought it was some amazing plan. But...Denjin-HAL's goal is just a simple desire. After watching Professor Haruka's speech recording, there was a phrase that I remembered the most. ' The creation of intelligence is similar to the creation of the creature itself. Creating something from nothing is very hard.' Very hard. Then I thought, 'Maybe the goal has something to do with creating a brain from nothing.' The one who gave me a hint was Higuchi-san. If it's just wanting to get what you want...people will start committing a crime. When I thought about that, I tried researching people who were associated with Professor Haruka. Especially people who became nobody, people that couldn't turn back. Then I discovered it. Using a slash, a maximum input of 21 characters. Between zeros and ones, Honjou Setsuna-san."
HAL's eyes widen before going back to normal. "She once said, 'This is a name that my mathematician father gave me.' She was really joyful. Her body was also healthy. There's only one thing...Except for the small part of her brain...Her brain cells were dying because of an unknown disease. This symptom...was not found in anyone other than her. No matter what type of disease it is...I've sworn to find a cure for her. I threw all my pride into it and toiled endlessly to find a cure. But the time she retained her own personality was gradually decreasing. The days with her are irreplaceable. No therapy worked on her. I was standing there, helplessly watching her brain cells getting devoured. Her consciousness cannot be restored. When I found out...I never felt such disgrace and insult...Creating a new Setsuna. Denjin-HAL was created for that reason."
"But...how can that be achieved?! With just your memories. Creating her from zero." Yako questions in disbelief.
"It wouldn't be her…it wouldn't be the same." I point out softly.
"It's really an idiotic thought, eh? Even you could reason this out easily. I never wanted to admit this. That's why I killed Haruka Eisuke." HAL admits. "To create the real her, even if you used trillions of simulations, thousands of supercomputers, or spent a few hundred years, it's impossible. He realised that himself. While he was still alive, he could never meet her again. Creating a virtual space needed for the calculations...knowing that it can never be achieved...It was only HAL who could do so. Then, Katsuragi Yako. There are two things that'll be displayed: it shows my respect for defeating me."
Yako let out a soft gasp of surprise, and I couldn't help but soften my eyes and let out a soft sigh.
"One is the cure for the Electronic Drug. If you install this program on the television, internet, and all other media broadcasting units, all the people who have been brainwashed will recover in three days. The other choice is...cutting off all power to the supercomputers. Like this, my plan has become nothing now. Even if I spend billions of years, I will not get the results I desire."
"How could..." Yako trials off.
"Haruka did not provide me with the right to destroy myself. The last step can only be done by a human. Katsuragi Yako, you'll be the one to delete me." HAL acknowledges.
"Can't do it...I can't do it!" Yako shouts. "Creating the cure for the Electronic Drug, giving me the hunt for cracking the password...That means you hoped that someone could stop you from continuing your plans!"
"You've already come this far; you should understand now. There's no point in continuing this. Delete, NOW!" HAL orders.
Yako shakes her head in denial. She moves her hand and then pulls it back.
"Feeling pity for an artificial intelligence like me is useless. If I'm left alone for an hour, I will revert to my backup." HAL scolds.
This is something Yako needs to do…I can't do it for her this time.
Yako closes her eyes right as she presses the enter button. Yako leans her hands on the desk and has her head bowed.
~~~3rd POV~~~
This is enough. HAL's world begins to crumble. I shall return to zero. Haruka Eisuke's most complete artificial intelligence shall disappear. Setsuna, if you could see me now, you would laugh. But that doesn't matter now. I did what I had to do. I gave up everything in order to see you again. Now, I'm regretting…
He looks to the left when there is a bright light. "Haruka…" I'm still far away from the world of one. Even though I came into the gap between Zero and One, I could never meet you… HAL holds out his arm. His arm lowers, but a hand catches it.
At the same time, Yuuki has her eyes closed. If they were open, it would be seen that they are glowing. Her wings are on display, and her hair is floating around her. This is all I can do to give HAL his wish…his desire. To meet Setsuna once more.
Back with HAL, he is in the arms of Setsuna. To be…to be so close to you…I'm satisfied.
HAL disappears, causing a sad smile on Yuuki's face before she slowly opens her eyes. Her eyes return to normal, her hair stops floating, and her wings disappear as footsteps come back into the room.
~~~Yuuki's POV~~~
Neuro walks in, rubbing his stomach. "That was some good exercise after feasting. Right? Servant Number Two." Neuro holds up Godai, who is injured only slightly. He throws Godai to the side and looks at Yako. "I was wondering what you were doing, and behold, you're crying."
Yako looks at Neuro and moves away from the desk. "That's weird. You shouldn't be crying...you should be smiling. The mystery was beautiful. I'm filled now, and it's going to be great energy."
Yako wipes her eyes with her sleeve. Neuro walks closer and pokes her head with his finger. "Think about it; what are you crying for?"
Yako slaps Neuro's hand away, tears in her eyes. "You'll never get it...someone like you," Yako shouts before wiping her eyes with her sleeve.
"Oh? That's alright." Neuro looks at the clock. "It's tomorrow already. Let's go back."
With Yako still crying, we head back to the office.
~~~A Week Later~~~
Everyone is back to normal. They are no longer brainwashed and being controlled. The cure HAL provided proved to be quite effective. All of the criminals that were created via Electronic Drug have disappeared.
Unfortunately, Yako got much more fame than she ever wanted. Neuro is, of course, happy with the results.
Neuro is reading the newspaper, Yako on the front page. "The mystery Denjin HAL created was quite delicious, but it cannot be classified as an ultimate mystery." Neuro burns the newspaper with his hand as it glows green. "I am searching for the ultimate mystery. It's hiding somewhere in the surface world."
Yako is standing in front of the window, facing outside. "Hey. The ability to think, the ability to continue thinking. It's really a harsh ability. The professor and HAL couldn't do it. To forget her."
"Forget? Idiotic." Neuro appears next to Yako, puts his leg under her chin, and dangles her from the ceiling. "It'll turn out like this if you forget, Yako."
"What the heck is this?!" Yako demands.
"To forget is also to forget how to evolve. It's nothing different from the world dying slowly. Even though I cannot understand his feelings for one woman, until now..." He mutters the last part, but I hear him. "But if Haruka forgot, there would be no Denjin-HAL. And if Denjin-HAL forgot, there would be no mystery. Do not forget, Yako. Do not forget anything. My teasing, torture, the tears you shed for Aya and HAL, you shall not forget."
"Neuro," Yako mutters.
"By not forgetting, you evolve." Neuro points out.
"I get it..." Yako agrees. "Even if you didn't say it, I still will not forget."
"It's great that you understand." Neuro praises sarcastically.
"Then...let me down." Yako queries.
"That's a no-no." Neuro denies.
Yako lets out a sigh of disbelief. I let out a chuckle as Yako gave in.
