AGENT CRYBABY (Discontinued)

Chapter 21: The Truth

CALCULATING PERCENTAGE OF LIFE." The female voice of the machine stated.

Everyone stood next to one another and grasped each others hands, squeezing it had their anticipation was filling their heads. The suspense was killing them.

"PERCENTAGE OF LIFE IS... 2%"

Their hearts dragged down to their stomachs of hearing that Takemichi only had 2% of life left in him. Any minute too late and he would have been dead.

FULL RECOVERY WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS EARTH TIME, CALCULATED TO 3 DAYS HEALING CAPSULE TIME. STARTING HEALING PROCESS...

The capsule water turned into a lighter turquoise color as a light was scanning back and forth through Takemichi's body. It highlighted each of his current wounds as it was speeding the healing process.

Everyone released relieved sighs as the machine was still able to heal that shortage of life Takemichi had left.

" Thank goodness he's gonna make it." Ezra thanked while his head hanged low and tears were streaming down his face and grinds my his teeth.

The girls and Ezra got into a group hug while crying on each others shoulders. A second later Daniel enters into the room and surveyed the tearful group that looked like they were crying a river. Before he could interrupt, he glanced and noticed Takemichi in the capsule. He scurried over and squatted to get a closer look.

Takemichi face was covered in bruises that made it difficult to recognize him and unbearable to digest. It was like Takemichi was a complete zombie and that jumped from the grave. Daniel clenched his fists and grinned his teeth as he was furious on the outcome of the mission that negatively impacted his friend.

" He doesn't deserve none of this." Daniel murmured as he voice was low and icy.

The rest of the group heard his statement and disbanded the group hug to pay attention what he was saying.

" He suffered so much this whole mission, and by what? The people that he called family? F*ck that!" Daniel shouted.

He stood up and faced the group, " We've been through this whole year of missions, was close to ruin their reputation, but failed! And what do we get at the end? Our friend in the middle of it all almost losing his life on the most humiliating way possible!?"

Silence filled the room, no one dared to speak. They urged to say more, but their voices would not allow them as a reflection of the past year in Tokyo, and the cruelty of Bonten that they witnessed. Sweat was streaming down their foreheads and the nape of their necks, frustrated on what to do next.

" We will contact Madame Carlisle in the morning and give her a report. For now, let's get our injuries checked and call it a night." Lila recommended, her voice was soft and agreeable, as tiredness consumed everyone.

The remainder of Bonten made it back to the exquisite and luxurious mansion, but none showed a smile on their faces, especially Mikey, whose jet black eyes were sharp with annoyance. He called an immediate meeting as a reflection for the night and future plans.
