July 21st 2009.

Another day at yakushima beach. The hot sun. the clean water…i'm tired. Yesterday was too many revelations. I stayed up late still trying to process it all. So I decided to slap on some sunscreen. Move an umbrella over me, and take a nap. What the guys were doing was something I wasn't interested in anyway. Operation babe hunt. I had a girlfriend now. And even if I didn't, I still wouldn't want to partake…i know this probably going to end in embarrassing failure…and so i let my exhaustion take over for a bit….i soon woke up feeling something poking my cheek. I open my eyes to see yukari.

"Up and adam skell. A machine from the lab is missing. Where are the guys?" she asked. I got up and looked around. The only ones here was shinjiro kaze and alex. Was operation babe hunt such a massive failure that they got chased by girls hellbent on kicking their asses? I got up and stretched and began looking for the three dummies. Trekking through the forest. I soon heard something.

"WHAT!? Are you friggin' kidding me!?" i heard a voice yell. That was definitely junpei. I went to the clearing where that scream came from. I found junpei and akihiko staring in surprise as a blonde girl wearing a blue dress hugging makoto. Huh operation babe hunt wasn't such a failure. And I am not shocked in the slightest that it's makoto. After all he's got the most experience when talking to girls. And speaking of girls. Fuuka and yukari approached.

"There you guys are! What are you doing here? We've been looking all over for you!" yukari yelled.

"Umm? What are you guys doing in the middle of the forest in your swimsuits?" fuuka asked baffled. Yukari noticed makoto being hugged by the blonde girl.

"Who's this…and why is she hugging you?" yukari asked.

"Not surprising…after all. Makoto has the most experience with girls out of you three." i said. Earning a glare from both akihiko and junpei. Junpei cause getting a girl is one big goal of his life. And akihiko probably because his pride took a vicious strike today.

"Sorry to interrupt your vacation but i need everyone go back to the house and gear up." mitsuru said as she approached. My dad approached as well right behind her.

"That won't be necessary. We found what we were looking for…who knew an anti shadow weapon could feel love…you mind letting makoto go now aigis?" dad said. The blonde girl finally let go of makoto.

"Understood." she said in a machine like tone. In the evening. The girl from before was revealed to be the missing tank.

"This is aigis. An anti shadow weapon. A machine with the form and face of a human girl. But before we continue." my dad said taking out a remote and smashing into pieces.

"Was that another of the chairman's schemes?" mitsuru asked.

"Correct. That remote control was meant to take control of aigis. He planned to use her to get rid of you guys once the fall was upon us." dad said.

"I am aigis. My objective is to destroy shadows. I have been assigned to SEES, effectively immediately." aigis introduced herself.

"No way, it's like she's…alive." yukari said.

"How can a robot be this cute? What a cruel world…" junpei says in sorrow.

"If she's an anti shadow weapon…does that mean she has a persona?" i asked.

"Yep. ten years ago. Anti-shadow weapons were made as a contingency in case the shadows became unmanageable. Aigis here is the only model left." dad explained.

"I am capable of wielding the persona palladion." aigis announced.

"If she has a persona…than that means she has a soul." i said.

"You could be right…maybe spending time with you all will teach her to be more human." dad said.

"One last thing…why is it we're only meeting her now? She could have been helpful in our last missions?" kaze asked.

"That's because during a battle on the moonlight bridge. She was severely damaged. She's been the lab under repairs under a long while. Though she only reactivated recently. And it has something to do with makoto…" dad said.

"Yes, it is important for me to stay by his side." aigis said. If any of these girls had any interest in him. They'd be staring daggers right now.

"Right…so what shadow was she fighting?" i asked.

"I do not know. Any trace of that shadow was erased…most likely more of ikutsukis tampering for his plans of the fall. In any case. You can get to know her better tomorrow. But first shinjiro. I have something for you." dad said as he tossed shinjiro a bottle of pills. "I know you've been taking those suppressants. I'm sure you know of the damage they do to the body. Those pills will heal the damage done by the suppressants. You owe it to mitsuru akihiko and miki to keep living boy. So if you don't take them. I'll force you to take them." dad threatened. Shinjiro pocket the pills.

"Whatever…" he said as he walked away. We all went to bed afterwards.

July 22nd 2009.

The final day of yakushima has arrived. A lot happened when i came here. A lot of painful and shocking revelations…but akihiko and shinjiro got a heart warming reunion with their long thought dead sister. And my childhood friend became my girlfriend. So there was some good done here. I look on and chuckle a bit as aigis blast junpei with water to the point of knocking him flat on his ass and everyone splashing the shit out of him…but i have so many questions about aigis. What happened on the bridge that night? Why is she so attached to makoto? And most of all…what was the shadow that she fought that night? Can't really get any answers right now. This is the last day in yakushima. So i should enjoy himself…and things are going to more lively with aigis around.

And so we're back in tatsumi port island. Hopefully the next trip to yakushima will be all fun and no shocking revelations. I went to check on shinjiro. Of course that meant going to that place where thugs gather at night.

"You took that medicine my dad gave you?" i asked.

"Yeah…I have. I didn't want your dad forcing it down my throat…plus i don't want miki to see me dead." shinjiro said. He looked alot better than before so i knew he wasn't lying. However i noticed a trio of weirdos approaching. The jesus looking ghost. The red haired chick in the dress. And that guy who looked like that kid from digimon. When they arrived the punk and the tough chick immediately got the hell out of there.

"Why do they always run and hide at the sight of me?" the pale guy asked. My eye went to the smith & wesson model 500 that was in his belt.

"Maybe it has something to do with the manstopper on your belt. Guns make people very jumpy." i said.

"As yes…I remember you. You're the one who threatened us at shirakawa boulevard. If i may. I'd like to ask you a question." the pale man said.

"Go ahead." i said.

"We've noticed your activities when the moon is full. Not to mention the time spent in the tower of demise. So what are you trying to do?" the pale man asked.

"What we're trying to do is get rid of the dark hour. Certainly a noble goal wouldn't you say?" i asked.

"You mean..you intend to eliminate the dark hour completely? Why would you do such a thing!? To give up such power…" the pale man asked in rage.

"This power is just a means to an end for me. Get rid of the dark hour, it served its purpose. And besides it's not like you guys are using it for pure intention…you guys get paid to put bullets into people and what better time for that for when everyone is coffins? This power is just a means an end for me. But for you. It's all you have and that…is pathetic." i said. The pale guy put his revolver to my head.

"Then i suppose i shall take care of this problem now." the pale guy said.

"Skell!" shinjiro yelled as the pale pulled the trigger. But he underestimated me. I dodged out of the way. And swiftly broke his arm. Taking his revolver. The guy with glasses threw a grenade at me. But i shot it back into his face the red girl threw a hatchet on a chain at me but i grabbed and pulled her into a roundhouse kick to the face.

"Is that all you losers got?" I asked. I then pointed the revolver at the pale guy. The glasses wearing guy threw a flashbang before I could pull the trigger. "Wimps." i said. Shinjiro sighed.

"Sorry about that…they were here to see me." shinjiro said.

"They were the ones giving you the suppressants weren't they?" I asked. Shinjiro nodded. "Right…guess they didn't know you were done with that and back in the fight." i said.

"Because you strong armed me into coming back!" shinjiro yelled.

"No…you came back because you couldn't take the L i handed you. You and Akihiko are alot more like then you'd like to admit. You taste defeat and you go through a training montage to get back at the person…i'll see you back at the dorm shinjiro." i said as i walked away.

"Your not worried about them?" shinjiro asked.

"Pph…no! They outnumbered me. Not to mention revolver jesus had his gun to my head. And they still lost. They have no hope in beating us in the dark hour either. I sense their personas. They're weak. They try to stop us to save their precious tower of demise. The only thing that's gonna happen is our boots up their asses. One of the many gatekeepers of tartarus has more bite than those three." i said.

"You're crazy…" shinjiro said.

"I'm sure all of us of SEES are a bit crazy…what sane person would take this gig?" i asked.

"Hmm…good point." shinjiro said with a smile. I think i understood shinjiro a bit more after this.

July 24th 2009.

During my morning routine of brushing my teeth and fixing my bed head. I soon heard a knock at my door. I answer it to find yukari.

"Have you seen that girl aigis? She's disappeared and we can't find her." yukari said.

"Have you checked makoto's room?" i asked.

"Why would she be in there?" yukari asked.

"She made it crystal clear that she wants to be by his side. And i'm sure she doesn't understand the concept of "unlawful entry" yet." i said. We went to makoto's room and i knocked on the door. "Hey makoto. Is that toaster in your room?" i asked.

"I am not a toaster. I am aigis and I am here. Also that is offensive." aigis said. I looked towards yukari with a "i told you." look. We opened the door.

"Could have sworn this was locked. How'd you get in?" i asked.

"I unlocked it in two minutes." aigis said with no sense of shame.

"That's unlawful entry!" yukari yelled.

"Told you she wouldn't understand…also weren't you told to stay in the command room at night?" i asked.

"I determined that it is ideal to be on standby in this room. Is this a problem?" aigis asked.

"Why don't we go a step further and staple you to him?" i asked sarcastically.

"Even better…now where would i get such stables?" aigis asked.

"I was JOKING!...ugh. Look we'll sit up a room for you on the third floor. That way you can be close to your blue haired husbando okay?" i asked.

"I will do as commanded." aigis said.

"Ugh first thing in the morning. And we're dealing with her shenanigans. Me and yukari have practice today so we have to get moving. Don't leave the dorm on your own aigis." i said as me and yukari left. School started up again today. Somedays i wish i lived in america. Apparently you get the whole season of summer off there. Also the exams were finally posted. And me and the yukis got the top score. Nice to see all that suffering lead to some good results.

There was something important happening in the dorm tonight. So no plans for today. At the dorm that evening. The new chairman of our dorm was to be announced. The door opened and.

"DAD!?" I asked. He was right next to a boy around 11 years of age.

"Yep. i'm the new chairman of the dorm. Takeharu pulled some strings…this is ken amada. He'll be staying here for the time being." everyone began asking questions. But i noticed that shinjiro wasn't here. Probably chilling out in that thug hangout again. There's no doubt that this kid is the one shinjiro left an orphan by accident…i'm not sure how he'll react to this.

3rd person pov.

After chatting with arthas and ken. Everyone headed back to their rooms.

"Yukari wait!" arthas yelled he pulled something form his briefcase. A dvd. "That is your fathers true message. The one that wasn't doctored by a nihilistic cultist. Sorry it took so long to get it…good night yukari." arthas said as he walked up to his new room.

Yukari returned to her room and played the video.

"I can only hope this recording reaches someone with a conscience. Our employers has become obsessed with a loathsome idea. This experiment should never have been conceived. That's why we had to do something to put a stop to it. However in doing so we unleashed a number of shadows that are certain to torment future generations. But…we didn't have a choice…if we didn't do this. It could have destroyed the entire world! So please you need to listen carefully. Whatever you do it is imperative that you do not hunt the shadows that have dispersed. We weren't able to do anything to stop this madness. He won't listen to a word either of us have said…that's why arthas killed him. He was seduced by the devil's temptation. Therefore arthas sent him to meet him. Those monsters will try to become one again. And if they succeed, we're all doomed! I'll say it once more. Do not go after the shadows that were released! But…if this message is received too late…then there's one chance. A slim one. For salvation. From what arthas told me…his son carries an incredible power within him one that if nurtured to maturity. Can be able to defeat death itself. So if it's too late or if you're willing to take that risk…then find him. For he may be our only hope…find skell shi! There's not much hope for us now. I have just one request. Whoever finds this…please. Give this message to our children yukari and skell. I know i'd promised to be home soon…and i'm sorry to break that promise. But i want you to know…as your father, i was never happier in my life than i was with you. I love you yukari, please take care of yourself." eiichiro said. The camera turned over to arthas.

"This is a message to my son…I lied to you your whole life. I'm not your father. I'm your guardian. You were my master's greatest creation. The three orbs. These orbs of pure magic turned into three babies. You were one of them. At some point. I started to love you like a son and saw it more than just as my duty to my master. You and eriko gave me a family. And it was a gift I was the happiest to get. And i found myself loving this world…so please use the power within you to save this world. And i hope you and yukari have a bright future…i love you skell. My son…" arthas said as the explosion happened.

"Dad…dad!?" yukari yelled. She soon broke down into tears. After calming down. "I know one thing for sure now…i was right to believe in you." she looked up and smiled. "I'm…doing okay. It took a while to get your message. But mr shi kept his promise to you." yukari said as something began to change within her. The resolution within yukari's heart has awakened a new persona…io has given rise to isis. "I'll fight for what I believe in. that's what you wanted right dad? I was never wrong to believe…to you or skell. If you had faith that he can stop death. Then I will as well." yukari said as she closed the laptop. And went to sleep. She debated if she should show skell the other half. But figured that mr shi only said that because he didn't believe he would survive…but he did. And told what was on the recording to skell face to face…better that way.
