Chapter 5 - The Weakest Link - Part 2
Somewhere
"(Amazing! Inspiring!)" - Says Krizalid seeing the strong storm happening in the outside from the window of his fortress.
Krizalid walks back to the room where he was, he sits on the strange metallic tables
Snaping his finger, Krizalid serves himself a drink.
"Huh?" - In a room nearby a young girl of black hair wakes up
"Where I am?" - Questions Nakoruru looking at her surroudings, she gets up with her moving towards the main room
"Ah so you woke up." - Says Krizalid looking back at Nakoruru
Nakoruru quickly pulls out her dagger approaching Krizalid slowly
"Hehehe.. Don't try it, is useless to attack me right now. Don't you see it, I'm covered in a fire and ice aura that protects me." - Krizalid
"Oh is that so!" - Nakoruru throws the dagger hitting Krizalid's cup as the water falls on the ground
*Splassh* - The water falls on the ground
"If a fight is what you want, then I'll give you one!" - Nakoruru
"(Even if my powers and my connection with Kamui is gone.)" - Thought Nakoruru
"Oh by the contrary to what you believe, I didn't brought you here to fight. I want to talk with you, since none of us can leave. I suggest a truce." - Krizalid
"You have a strange way to start a conversation, but don't try anything funny! Talk!" - Nakoruru
"Then, take a seat!" - Krizalid sits with him serving a cup of water to Nakoruru
"..." - Nakoruru sits with the strange sly smile of Krizalid making her still grab to her dagger
"Calm down! I don't plan to attack you." - Krizalid
"Still, I'll keep this at hand just in case!" - Nakoruru
Meanwhile
South Base - Hundreds of meters away
"What a rain!" - Exclaims Ryo looking at the big storm happening outside
"Yeah, is like all the earth's hurricanes had join together." - Terry
"Stop looking at the rocks falling down from the space, Marco! We need to get this equipment with Doc Brown quick!" - Said Jeanne as she Shingen and Marco carry some equipment to the main lab
"I'm on it! I'm just wondering how must be they doing now." - Marco
"Your friends?" - Jeanne
Marco nods as the three keep walking towards the lab looking at the chatrastrophic rain in the outside
"Man, with this wind those raindrops look like cannonballs." - Says Kyo reuniting with Doc Brown and Chizuru
"He is still there?" - Says Kyo looking at Rootmars in one of cameras Doc Brown had send with a drone
"Yes, he hasn't move it." - Doc Brown
"My other drone managed to get find their supposed fortress. No activity outside but it seens they had protected themselves with some kind of barrier. I can't send the drone inside without risking it to explode." - Doc Brown
"Mmm, I would like to know what they are planning. At least we will know if they try to attack us." - Kyo
"*Sigh*" - Kyo sighs with him looking at the window
"Dont worry, Kyo. We will return home, you will see her again." - Chizuru
"I hope so, how do you think your workers are doing?" - Kyo
"They will be fine, Kagura Enterprises has been in worse situations... Much worse." - Chizuru
"Like what happened after 96?" - Kyo
"Don't remind me. Sometimes I regret having hosted that tournament." - Chizuru looks down
"I'll go to check on the rest." - Kyo
"Sure, Kyo. Go with them, I'll keep helping Doc Brown, Jeanne and Marco." - Chizuru
Kyo walks the corridors of the base, unaware that someone else was watching him from the cieling
"(Aww, poor Kusanagi, he looks so depressed. But I don't blame him, I too not like this place that much, wish I was back in the village or earth.)" - Thinks Akari crawling the tubes that were on the cieling
"(Man, this metallic box makes me feel dizzy.)" - Akari
"Huh?" - Akari suddenly hears a voice
"(I wonder what is going on in this room? Is those strange guys with the leather clothes!)" - Akari removes the ventilation cover to take a look at the conversation between Leona Heidern and the K' team
"(Whatever they are talking isn't my business. I better go before they see me.)" - Akari suddenly pays attention to the conversation
"Are you sure about this, Seirah?" - Leona
"I'm not changing what I said, Leona. Kusanagi and the rest don't trust us. We have nothing to do here, we will resolve this war on our way." - Whip
"Yes, if that's the only way to get back home. We will do it, we don't need the help of Kusanagi and the rest." - K'
"Kula hates being untrusted!" - Kula
"Nothing new, it would take a lifetime for them to see us as anything else than a enemy." - Maxima
"I'm sorry, Leona. We can't be here anymore. We just can't." - Whip
"I understand. I won't tell anyone but this isn't the way to try to change your image in their eyes. I wish you good luck, Seirah." - Leona leaves the room
"We will leave in a few more hours. We will go to that place where Maxima capted a signal from." - Whip
"You think it was him?" - Maxima
"Who else would only send a signal that only you could intercept? I know him well to know he is planning something." - Whip
"Are we really going to team up with him?" - K'
"No yet. But maybe I can convince him to work with us, to take on the rest of his team. He is only loyal to NESTS after all." - Whip
"Seirah, you must be joking! Do you really think we should team up with Krizalid?" - K'
"Desperated times, call for desperate moves, K'." - Whip
"Wait a moment, I feel a presence nearby!" - Maxima
*CRASH* - A sound is heared as Akari falls down to the ground kicking Seirah
"Yes, I heared what you said! Traitors!" - Akari lands looking at the rest of the K' team with two angered eyes
"Isn't what you think, Brat! Sit down and listen or I will force you to-what?! I failed!" - K' tries to grab Akari only for her to jump with her putting a sealing tag on Maxima's face
"Bad luck, turtle!" - Akari
"You got it wrong, kid, let us explain!" - K'
"Tell that to anyone else, I heared enough!" - Akari
The tag drops a electric charge making Maxima fall backwards
"Kula! Don't let her get away!" - Seirah pulls out her whip voodoo
"I'm on it, Seirah!" - Creating a ice trail, Kula chases after Akari
"Damn, she is pretty fast!" - Seirah
"Freeze!" - Kula tries to freeze Akari
"My, what a bad aim you have!" - Akari dodges the freeze beam
"Arhg!" - Akari dodges another freeze blast with her summoning a demon looking like a flying bug, she gets on it to escape
"Oh no! You're not getting away!" - Kula jumps creating small ice platforms to get some height she launches herself grabing on to Akari
"ARHG!" - Both girls fall to the ground rolling
"Grr... Enough of this! Kula wants you to be quiet!" - Being face to face with Akari, Kula tosses a freeze blast towards Akari
"Kula is not so bright!" - Akari pulls out a small scroll, the freeze blast from Kula is reflected in the bright page of the scroll making Kula be hit by her own attack
"That was close!" - Akari
"ARHG!" - Akari is surprised as a Whip surrounds her making her be unable to move
"Enough of this, missy!" - Seirah
"You're pretty good with the whip, this is a impressive manuever. But isn't going to work with me." - Akari
"You have some surprises under your sleeve but nothing to be able to free you from me!" - Seirah
"Hehehe... Are you sure about that, Whippy?" - Akari chuckles as suddenly Seirah's whip starts to unravel itself from Akari's body
"..." - Seirah opens her eyes shocked as she sees her voodoo leaving Akari's body as if it had a conscious of his own.
"WHAT THE HELL!" - In a moment, Seirah is surprised by see her voodo was now holding her trapped with her seeing a tag sticked to her whip
"Even inanimate objects can be posessed by a demon. Have fun!" - Akari
"Not so fast! Those flames might work on thugs but not with me!" - Akari tosses a explosive tag towards K' feeling him closer, K' is forced to dodge
"She is getting away!" - Whip
Maxima aims his cannon seeing Akari about to leave the same way she entered
"Enough!" - Maxima shots his cannon towards the wall making Akari fall as she was grabing on the ledge of the wall
"ARGH!" - Akari falls only for her to be trapped in a block of ice by Kula
"What are you going to do?" - Akari
"..." - Seirah looks at Akari
"Maxima, use it!" - Seirah
"What? Now?" - Maxima
"Do it! We can't risk she telling it to everyone." - Seirah
Whips nods at Maxima as both see Akari struggling to get out of the ice block
"Alright... I hate using this." - Maxima pulls out a strange device out of his finger. A strange tool that looks like a pen, catching the attention of Akari, Seirah walks back covering her eyes with her hand, so does Kula and K'
"What is that thing?" - Akari is confused by the strange artifact as by pressing a button, a strange sound is heared
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Beep*
After the third sound, a flash of light comes out of the device making Akari feel weird with her falling unconscious as a fuzzy feeling takes over her
"Ahhh... Ourg!" - Akari falls unconscious inside the block of ice.
"Believe me, Maxima. I hate erasing the memory of someone else, but in cases like this. We don't need more bad reputation that what we already have. Leave her in the corridor, we have to go." - Seirah
Akari is leaved on the corridor, with Marco and Rosa soon walking by a finding the unconscious girl for their surprise
"The rain seens to calm down a bit, the sufficent enough to leave using one of this air crafts." - Seirah
The K' team enters in the ship, ready to leave the base and the rest behind.
Meanwhile
"I don't care about your proposition, Rugal!" - Says Krizalid talking with Rugal on her NESTS communicator
"Alright! But be warned that if you don't serve me, you will be considerated as my enemy!" - Say Rugal in a serious tone
"I have picked my own path, Rugal. I only serve to NESTS and only them. I would never serve to the likes of you or that witch Mizuki!" - Krizalid
"Sooner or later, you will regret that!" - Rugal ends the call
Seconds later
"Where did you went? What happened?" - Nakoruru
"It was nothing." - Krizalid
"You still think I want to hurt you, isn't it?" - Krizalid looks at Nakoruru still grabing on to her dagger
"Why shouldn't I? You're just like them, Mizuki, Rugal and Geese!" - Nakoruru
"Of that you're wrong, if I was like them I would be with them. I want to finish this as much as you." - Krizalid
Krizalid puts his hand on Nakoruru's shoulder. Nakoruru becomes confused as she detects no evil intention from Krizalid's smug smile
"What do you want?" - Nakoruru
"Isn't obvious? We should team up. Despite looking like one, you're no ordinary human after all. Tell me, what are you?" - Krizalid
"I might not be human but I'm neither an artificial being like you!" - Nakoruru grabs her dagger feeling strange looking at Krizalid's eyes
"Hmph! You're an interesting girl. There's this vibe around you, captivating, extravagant and ferocious... I kinda like it." - Krizalid puts his hands on Nakoruru's cheeks making her just stare at his eyes
"What?" - Nakoruru
Suddenly for Nakoruru's surprise. Krizalid kisses her without any advice. The mind of Nakoruru becomes confused but the feeling of Krizalid's artificial lips feels great, slowly Nakoruru gives up answering to Krizalid's kiss by grabing his head.
"Hmph! Typical of some NESTS lap dog!" - Rugal
"Heheheh..." - Mizuki enters in the lab
"What's so funny, witch?" - Rugal
"What's wrong, Rugal? You look angry, forget about that rat Krizalid. I got some important news. I detect a powerful chi close by... Whatever it is, maybe it wouldn't hurt if we took a look." - Mizuki
"A poweful chi?" - Rugal
"Yes, could be anything. But it feels dormant, I'll tell you something. I'll go in personally to check what is it." - Mizuki
"Hmph! You won't go alone... Three of them will go with you." - Rugal
"What? You don't trust me?" - Mizuki
"You already know the answer for that question." - Rugal
"Fine! I'll do it your way then. But I'll pick who will come with me." - Mizuki
Some moments later
"So, where's this chi coming from..." - Botan
"Some miles from here... Just follow me." - Mizuki
"This better be worth it." - Shermie
"Good thing the rain is over." - Says Botan
Meanwhile
"Kyo, have you seen Ms. Kagura?" - Says Doc Brown and Rosa looking for Kyo in the corridors of the base
"No, I thought she was with you, doc?" - Kyo
"She took a break, but Rosa came to me saying she was nowhere to be found after some moments." - Doc Brown
"Go search in the down plant, I will ask someone if she has see her." - Kyo, Doctor Brown and Rosa separate.
Kyo arrives at the room of Athena
"Hey, Athena? Have you seen Chizuru? ... Athena?" - Kyo enters in the room of Athena seeing it was abadoned and nobody was there
"Athena?" - Kyo
Some miles from the base
"So a powerful chi?" - Athena
"Yes, a strange dark chi was felt very far from the base. I tried to use the mirror to see what it is, but the only thing I got to see was just a strange black void." - Chizuru
"Do you think it could be related to Orochi?" - Leona
"I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if these three aren't the only Hakkesshu that being Urbe brought here..." - Thought Chizuru as she, Athena and Leona continue walking
