Kingdom Hearts Cyber Sleuth
Chapter 3: Takumi and Sora, Cyber Sleuths.
Sora was silent, shocked at Kyoko's discovery. How did she know? The keybearer laughed, trying to pretend she was being funny. "Good joke, Mr Kuremi! I thought you were. Pulling my leg!" The keyblade master tried to fake laugh.
The detective smiled at seeing his false laugh, trying to lie his way out. Although the Takumi was worried to see Sora like that.
"By my theory, Sora. You are lying to cover your tracks." Kyoko told him, knowing fully well that she cornered him. The keyblade master stopped his act, and looked directly at the detective. Eye to eye.
"I seem to have gotten your attention now." Kyoko said tryumphly, seeing Sora's face looking serious. Takumi looked at Sora in shock! His new friend is from another world? "Judging by your face, it seems that you had made a word to yourself. Correct?" The detective asked, drinking her coffee.
"Yes." Sora replied, knowing fully well. "My friends call it the World Order, they needed it to not stick into other people's business'." Sora explained to the detective. Who laughed softly.
"Well Sora, seems you broke that order." Kyoko said, seeing as Sora looked away for a moment. "Yeah, it was when somebody was in trouble. That I had to help her." The keybearer continued, remembering Alice's execution from the Queen of Hearts.
"You sure sound like you have a lot to tell, Sora." Kyoko looked at the keybearer, his expression saying it all. "Yeah, I wanted to find my friends. But I also helped out a lot of people at their worlds too." The keybearer continued, scratching his head.
Takumi looked intrigued, hearing that there were other worlds besides his. "Well, Sora. Since you're here. Why don't you help us out?" Kyoko asked the keybearer, who nodded. "Of course I'll help you out! That creature that attacked Takumi is still out there somewhere!" He said, ready to help out.
"So, the two of you will be my assistants correct?" She asked the two of them, who looked at each other and nodded. The detective looked at Takumi, her face filled with a mission she wanted them to start with.
Just than, a knock was heard. Opening the door was an old man wearing a green long coat and grey hat, walking into the agency. "Ah, hello Kyoko. New clients I see?" The detective, who knew Kyoko asking as he saw Sora and Takumi.
"You can say that, Detective Matayoshi." Kyoko said, as she looked at both Takumi and Sora. Mostly towards Sora though, since he was from another world. Sora looked away from her, just in case she'll warn him that she was going to announce it.
"Oh no sir, we're her new assistants." Takumi gladly told the elder detective. Sora quietly sighed in relief, wanting to thank the goggle head later on. "If you're done with a case Matayoshi, why don't you join us for coffee?" Kyoko asked, both Sora and Takumi were silent.
"A-ah, no thanks. No new cases yet." The elder detective lied, heading out of the office. But not before putting his hand on Sora's shoulder. "I'll regret myself having to taste her coffee, good luck." He quietly said to the keybearer.
"So, you know the guy?" Takumi asked the younger detective, while Kyoko smiled at the question. "Of course, he helped my father out when he was still alive." Kyoko replied, remembered fondly.
"Sora, besides your weapon. You don't have a Digivice." She said, rummaging her drawers. Sora wondered what a Digivice was, but it intrigued him.
The detective gave Sora a device, looking like a phone. "So this is a Digivice?" Sora asked Kyoko. Who smiled at the keybearer. "Why don't you turn it on?"
Sora pushed a button, the screen turned on. And appearing on screen was Dorumon! "Hey Dorumon, nice to see you again!" The keybearer said, glad to see the Digimon again. Dorumon looked disinterested in he conversation.
"So, you're from another world?" The purple furred Digimon said, trying to not sound interested. Sora told Dorumon that he really was from another world. But he really needed to keep it a secret.
"Fine." Dorumon reluctantly agreed. Much to Sora's relief! "So, I need the two of you to help me out investigate at the hospital." Kyoko said, asking if Takumi and Sora wanted to go to somewhere new.
Both of them agreed, besides. Sora needed to explore the world more.
Later on, the trio were at the Central Hospital. Wondering what they needed to do, Sora asked Kyoko. "You could find a way into the Special Ward, to see the people with EDEN syndrome." She explained to him. Sora wondered what the EDEN syndrome was, thus. It made him real curious.
"Hey, Takumi..." Sora tried to talk to Takumi, only to see the teen looking forward. Sora looked at his direction, seeing a nurse talking to someone.
It was a young lady, wearing black and white clothing. With shoulder length black hair matching. She looked a little sad from the looks of it, she lifted her head up. And looked at both Sora and Takumi.
"Hello." The two Sleuths politely said to the sad looking girl. "...Hello." The girl responded, looking uninterested. She then walked away to a vending machine, thus giving the two of them to go on the elevators.
Takumi asked where, and what the Sprecial Ward is to a nurse. Who asked them if they had any family members in the Special ward and told Takumi the floor number.
The two assistants than walked into the elevator to the designated floor. Which is rumoured to house EDEN syndrome victims, whatever that meant. Takumi pressed the floor number to the Special ward, closing the elevator doors and rising up.
The elevator stopped at the Special Ward, opening the doors and letting Takumi and Sora out. Only to see two guards who were guarding the room. "Sorry boys, but the Special Ward is restricted." One of the guards apologized to them both.
Sora and Takumi went back to the elevators again, wondering what to do. Only to get a call from Kyoko to tell them to go to a nurse's station and Connect Jump there to get inside the Special Ward.
As they got into another floor, Takumi was looking around for a computer to Connect Jump into. There were people going about their business' though, looking busy.
Takumi spotted a computer not in use, ready to use it. The goggle head lifted his hand and got into the system, Sora did too. Although he didn't do anything to do it!
The two of them were flying in cyberspace, heading towards the exit to get them into the Special Ward. Sora kept on looking onward in surprise! What an amazing sight to behold!
"Sora, aren't you scared?" Takumi asked, looking at the keyblade master. Sora looked back towards the digitized teen, then shook his head. "I've been more dangerous situations then this!"
They got into the Special Ward with no problem. Takumi looked at the right, showing the two guards at the entrance. While Sora looked around to see some patients in beds. As the keybearer looked around, he saw something surprising.
"Takumi, I think you should see this." Sora said to his friend, Takumi walked to his friend. Noticing his worried look, he looked at the bed in the end. Shocked at the discovery! In that bed was himself!
Takumi looked down at his hands, he was here! Yet there he is, in the Special Ward's bed. "Did that creature get me? I have EDEN Syndrome too?" He asked himself, confused at the sight.
Sora gave a thought, he still has a lot of questions for this world. Yet they keep on piling up! The keybearer almost yelled out in frustration, but he didn't want to alert the guards that they were intruding.
It was then Sora looked towards the entrance of the Special Ward to see something else, Takumi did the same. And saw the same black haired girl from the entrance! Takumi and Sora were surprised. And so was the girl.
"How did you get in here?" The girl questioned, wanting to know how they got in the place. Takumi and Sora couldn't answer the question, except to look at Takumi's real body.
"Oh, so the two of you are family members to one of the EDEN syndrome victims?" The girl asked, looking at the other patients. "Uhh... Yes, it's this guy here." Takumi lied, pointing to his comatose body.
The girl looked at Takumi, and seen his comatose body in bed. "Is he your twin? If so, I'm sorry." The girl said, Sora wondered why the girl was apologizing even if they just met. "It's no problem, I hope he'll get better soon." Takumi said, wanting to question the girl.
Only to be interupted by a woman's voice, complimenting one of the guards. The girl was shocked, judging by the look of her face. The girl knew who it was!
"You better hide!" The girl told the two Cyber Sleuths, who ran to the other room with a few computers, with one of them on. "Hello, Ms Rei." They heard the girl talk to someone else. "Good to meet you here." She said to the person who entered to room.
Both Sora and Takumi wondered who the person was. "Oh, hello to you too Yuuko." The lady's sickenly sweet voice called out to the girl, Sora made a gagging motion at his mouth hearing the lady's voice. Especially since to them, it sounds like she's hiding something.
"Visiting your relative again, today?" Rei asked, while they heard the girl stuttering. Trying to not reveal their existence. "Hmm? Hiding something?" They heard Rei's voice sounding suspicious to the girl.
Takumi and Sora needed somewhere else to escape! But where? "Ms Rei, there is no one. Honestly." Yuuko lied to her. "So, you have anybody here? A boyfriend or two?" Rei asked, heading to the room with the computers.
The doors opened revealing a green haired woman. Wearing a bright yellow business suit, and long black gloves. "Yoohoo! Yuuki's boyfriends!" She called out... Only to find no one there.
"Hmm... I must've imagined it, anyways. Bye!" The woman walked away from Yuuko. The young girl looked around, Sora and Takumi nowhere in sight. "Where did they go?" She asked herself.
Little did she know, the two entered another computer to escape. And back into the same floor with other patients who didn't have EDEN Syndrome, they decided to go back and report to Kyoko.
They all returned back to the Agency, reporting the case they had made. "Hmm. Interesting." The detective thought at the information she was given. "So, you've seen your own body, this is a real interesting case of EDEN syndrome..."
Sora was confused, he heard of EDEN syndrome and seen some of victims. Takumi included. But it still baffled him.
"EDEN syndrome is when a person who cannot leave that place, leaving their bodies in a comatose state." Kyoko explained, telling Sora about it. "It wasn't known what caused it, until you and the others found the cause of it."
Takumi and Sora were surprised at the thought, the creature they encountered back at their first visit of EDEN was the cause of it! "But, don't they have anything to fix the syndrome?" Takumi asked Kyoko, who wanted to know the whole thing.
"Honestly, it's very little right now." Kyoko told her assistants, lost in thought. "It Amy not be big, but people are trying to find a way to cure it."
Kyoko looked out the window, the sun was setting. "It's getting to be late, Takumi. Even if your real body is asleep, a body is still a body and you need a place to stay." She told them.
She informed the two that she set up a two bedroom motel for them both. Which they had accepted. Kyoko showed them the motel and introduce the staff to them.
We were informed from Kyoko, you two can stay as long as you want." The manager said, saying that Kyoko had helped the motel in the past. "Thank you, we're glad to help." Takumi said, bowing in respect. Sora did the same.
Sora and Takumi entered their room, it was just right for the two of them. Sora didn't know how long he was staying, but he'll feel right at home. The dinner was small, but right for their stomachs to fill.
But Takumi was wondering what the creature that was possessing a Mr Navit was, since Sora knew what it was from the start it appeared. "Sora, what was that thing when we were getting the parts?" He asked the keyblade master.
He told Takumi (and their digimons since they were also listening on Sora's Digivice) that it was a Heartless, beings who want to bring nothing but ruin to all worlds, and that it was his duty to destroy them so the worlds could be at peace.
"Must be hard to save every world." Takumi said, looking at the setting sun. The keybearer laughed, agreeing the goggle head. "But don't worry, I made a lot of friends, like Aladdin and Hiro in their worlds." He said, remembering his friends fondly.
"Hey, don't forget. We're your friends too!" Terriermon called out, with a huge smile on his face. "Yeah... Friends..." Dorumon said, looking away from them. Sora was wondering why his partner was sad. But he reassured Dorumon that he'll help everybody.
It was getting late, so Takumi and Sora headed to their rooms to sleep for the night.
"Somebody... Anybody... Help me..."
