Life Novel, Part 6

After moments have passed, I've decided to go to where she would normally go, Thomas and his Sides, hoping that they come up with a solution as to why she has been acting this way. So I packed up what I need, this is a very big step for me to do this alone but this is for the sake of everyone here in Mistral. I just remembered that she set up a portal that leads straight to the place of Thomas Sanders, I walked through, spooked Logan in the process, I said to him, "I am so sorry, Logan, is it just you or where is everybody?" "It's just me for right now, the other sides are with Thomas for whatever reason," he said, "What can I help you with?" "Something is wrong with Lady Akari," I said to him. With in an instant, here comes Janus, "I am terribly sorry but did I hear correctly?" "This is none of your business," said Logan, "Don't ruin my chance." "Someone's determined," I muttered. Logan got his notebook, pencil, eraser, and laptop, "Alright spill the beans as to why you think on there is something wrong with her." So, I told him everything that had happened, he is writing almost everything down, then typed it up, printed things he wrote down, so he could analysis it better.

I waited for him to get done, I left him my phone info if he comes up with anything, because he is the brain, I went to do my own thing and it seems to have helped her a lot, she doesn't seem to be giving me all the credit because this is my time to shine, "Neo, I'm done analysising what you gave me." "Really, what did you have in your thoughts?" I asked. He made sure that he does not make any mistakes, "It appears to be that what you were doing, it DID help her a lot, because before you came to me, we all saw her giving Roman his power back and told Remus what a good job he did which confused them both, not just that she gave us a heavy boost for what we represent, minus Virgil, she told him that he is doing a wonderful job at making sure Thomas stays away from certain people or situations, usually that is Patton or me, she told Janus to stay truthful every time he decides to be deceitful, of course he was a little defeated when she told him that because he is Deceit." "So, what is the conclusion of this?" I asked.

"I'm getting to that, but have you noticed that when she came here, she seems to be glowing more brightly?" he asked. He's right, she was glowing when she was ready about to hurt Mugetsu, I nodded, he continued, "Well, it is because you helped her by fixing on what was wrong. It appears that you awoken her true self, which is what she needed heavily, now all you have to do is wait for her to thank you for what you have done." "Yeah, if that ever happens, I've had my fair share of someone taking all the credit," I said to him, "Torchwick and I were always together until we met her, now we can be free from that woman's evil clutches. But she still haunts me every day no matter how hard I try to keep myself calm, she is still there." "What name does she go by?" he asked. I pulled him away to where she doesn't hear, "She goes by the name of Cinder Falls. She took almost everything on what we had, she is still out there, I can't escape the thought that she may attack only us 2 because we betrayed her."

After my interaction with Logan, he went back to Thomas and the other sides for more researching because apparently he is wanting to get his share on someone who is looking for knowledge on anything and not just business stuff, all I had to do is ask on smart is he with mathematics, it just was an instant lightbulb, since now I can talk, I can learn many things that I was forbidden to do. I decided to walk along the sidewalks of America, the sights are beautiful, of course I have my trusty parasol, just in case anything or anyone tries to do something, I was trained for this. Moments passes by, I somehow ended up in New York, which I don't seem to mind, I'm exploring this wonderful world. That is when I was spotted by none other than Tin Man himself, Tony Stark, I was only patrolling making sure there were no rebels out here, then I heard, "What's a lady doing out here all by herself?" I looked at him, remaining to be quiet, Lady Akari told me to never flirt with him otherwise he might take an advantage on me, I listened of course, I folded the umbrella, getting ready to unsheathed my weapon if he tries anything to hurt me.

Awkward silence passes on, I unsheathed it, pointed it straight at him, "Give me one good reason why I should never hurt that face of yours!" "Let's not get nasty, my dear," he said, "Besides you would barely harm me." It was an illusion, he was covered in complete Iron Armor, no matter, I also have Steel like powers, "Just let me ask you this, Friend or Foe?" "Friend, I am harmless," he said. I put the sword away, "I'm not going to let my guard down, you better watch it." Then I started to walk away, hoping I got the message across, heavily breathing, then started to run away from where he was standing, then I heard him say, "We got a runner on the loose!" I ran even faster than ever, I was not about to be a prisoner to whoever he is under, I fumbled to get the portal to Mistral, keep looking back and in front, I have to make sure I was not being followed. I got into an alleyway, I got my breath and calmly searched my pouch for the portal, but I should find my phone and call Torchwick for help, I decided to call him. I heard him say, "What is it that is so important?" "Roman," I said, in a shaky tone.

"Neo, what is it? What's wrong? Where are you?" he asked, now sounding worried and concerned. I whispered to where I am right now, then I told him that I can not find my portable portal back to Mistral, then he tells me, "You haven't gotten yet, it's still in the process of being made Neo." "Didn't you give me yours though?" I asked. I heard him facepalming himself, "Please do not tell me that you somehow lost it." "I'm still searching for it," I said, he explained, "It's not that hard to look for it." "I'm sorry, it's not my fault that someone decided to follow me," I said, it was immediately quiet the moment I said that, I finally found it, it had his name on it, "Found it, it had your name on it." "Don't you dare hang up, you said that someone was following you, why didn't you tell me in the beginning?" I heard him ask. I scoffed, "I didn't like the tone when you ask what is it that is so important, it hurt when you used that tone again." "Damn it, I am so sorry Neo," I heard him say softly, "But you sure that you are being followed." "Yeah, I didn't let my guard down, it feels like someone is watching me from somewhere," I said. Roman asked, "Have you looked around your entire surroundings? She did say that we have to be observant like we have to be in Skyrim."

I looked up, there was someone watching me, "Thank you, Torchwick, I am being watched." "Try to look like you are lost," said Roman. I shouted at him, "Too late! It looks like I have to prove that I am harmless as well." "Neo, don't-" I cut him off by hanging up. I walked out of the alleyway and I was surrounded, then I heard, "Assaulting an Avenger is the biggest crime that anyone would never do." "I'm sorry alright, I am new here, I never ventured out this far," I snarled, "It's not my fault that I was locked up in someone's clutches." "Still, face the charges or join us," said Tin Man. I scoffed, "Join you? Please, I would rather follow someone else than having to deal with scumbags like you, Mister Tin Man, it's not my fault that I have to defend myself against guys who think that is okay to take advantage of a lady who is just walking by and minding her own business." "Alright, she's free to go," said the man with red, white, and blue attire, "She's friendly, lower your weapons." He salutes me a goodbye, "She deserves to wander around in this country without anyone trying to creep on her, if she is what we might think, then we speak none of it."
