Chapter 22- The second Key

Date: 10/19/2097 (in this world)

Location: 2. World (Tan'i), streets in the red city

The ice cream van drove along the smooth, rain-soaked streets at lightning speed. Through streets and alleys, through the most branched paths, past several vehicles and buildings.

"Who are you?" Asked Kaito. They all sat in the medium-sized car that certainly didn't just sell ice cream. Well, all but Boryōku ...

One of the strangers looked at him. "We are the underground. Discovered your friends and took'em with us "

He looked at Tsuyoi. "The other has sacrificed himself, as you have probably noticed"

Chūjitsuna stared at the floor. Although he was otherwise quite happy, you could clearly see the pain on his face. "Our boss .." he whispered.

Tsuyoi patted his shoulder comfortingly. "Until the end he was a good leader"

Don'yoku was groaning on a bench across from the two soldiers. His wounds had improved a little, he was able to relieve some of his pain and heal his skin thanks to his ability.

Aima thanked the rebels, which they politely refused.

"We only do our job"

The driver of the van craned his head back. "We're almost there"

"Good"

"Where there?" Asked Kaito.

"Well, during the festival we sent some of our troops to a data center. They have probably received very important information about our enemies "

Tsuyoi got a little angry. "That's why you're helping us! You took advantage of us to create confusion at the event, so that you have enough time to take care of your business! "

His counterpart laughed. "So what? You have what you want and we get what we want. So everyone is satisfied "

"You could have helped our captain! You said you would give us fire protection! But you never did! "

The rebel's smile turned to ice. "We're not going to sacrifice troops for you. You really are more stupid than you thought. Let this be a lesson to you "

Angry, Chūjitsuna interfered. "You could have killed Anastri!"

"Wow, you really don't know anything about him, do you? It is impossible to kill him. He's too quick, too strong, and too smart. Thousands of cybernetics implantations have made him almost invincible. Why only almost? Because now we get this chance. See for yourself "

The van stopped with a jerk. The vehicle was now in front of a small building with a couple of snack machines in front of it.

"There's nothing here except .."

His sentence was drowned out by a creaky noise. Suddenly one of the machines opened and revealed a long corridor that led directly under the building. Flashes of laser hissed around the corner into view of the straight corridor. Quick steps and screams could be heard, then you could make out a person running up the aisle to the van.

"Got it !!", he yelled at them and held up a black USB stick. He ran as fast as he could and immediately jumped into the vehicle after they opened the doors. Immediately the rebels drove off and hissed away.

The newcomer gasped and sat down on the upholstered seats next to Don'yoku and Aima, exhausted.

"Got it"

He gave the USB stick to one of his comrades. Kaito caught a glimpse of it as he exchanged hands. It was smooth and black, about the length of the palm of his hand, with a blue dot in the center. Why did this device look so familiar to him? It caused a little wave of grief in him, and he had no idea why. What was wrong with him?
