Osukuni Station
[Naomi?! Naomi, answer me!] Kasane mentally yelled as she ran down the road leading out of the station.
[I must not lose sight of the truck that took Naomi...] Kasane thought as Hikaru suddenly appeared next to her, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"Kasane, hold on a second! Don't rush off blindly-we've lost enough people already." As he said this though Kasane turned to him angrily, frustrated that he was hindering her self-imposed mission.
"Let go! I must follow Naomi!"
"You will-I am not trying to stop you here. I also want to know what the Seiran NDF was doing here. Just want to make sure you don't get hurt rushing off like this." Hikaru calmly said as Kasane settled down somewhat, looking a little awkward about her behavior when the man in front of her also wanted to help.
"Fine. We can move together." She mumbled.
"Alright. You take the lead and I will take care of the Others that will most definitely try to slow you down."
Right after he said that, Kasane immediately burst into movement, running down the road with little to no heed paid to her surroundings.
'Sigh...this girl will be the death of me one day. I mean, didn't I lecture her about her perspective issues after the Brawn Yawn incident a day ago? Babysitting is such a pain in the ass!' Hikaru groused as he followed the girl, absentmindedly eliminating the Others following after Kasane with well placed slashes or shots from his weapons. Meanwhile further up the road, Kasane was trying to understand why the NDF would basically kidnap Naomi.
[Naomi...she turned into an Other. Why? How? I don't understand. What would the Seiran NDF want with Naomi as an Other?]
[I don't know Kasane. It wasn't just the Seiran NDF that were there though-Suoh NDF were also at the station and they were the ones who shot Naomi. I am sorry I wasn't fast enough to intervene.]
[What?! Suoh forces shot Naomi?! How do you know all this?]
[Sigh...basically, Seiran forces must have infiltrated Suoh and seeing as the New Himukan government saw that as a threat to their coveted national security, they sent me on a black ops mission to find and eliminate the 'threats' as it were. The Suoh NDF there must have been deployed to simply allow the government to have an excuse as to why several OSF members died during our mission here-they were tying up loose ends. No one was exempt-they just wanted a target to gang up on...]
[So, Naomi was turned into an Other...simply as collateral damage? Those Seiran forces must know about this! I must catch up to them and make them talk, no matter what it takes!]
[Kasane, calm down...]
'Damn, she's not listening anymore.' Hikaru cursed as the connection cut off abruptly while he could see Kasane sprint away past the bridge. "I have to pick up the pace; Karen will have my hide if I let one of the 'interesting' recruits die on my watch." He then channeled his hypervelocity aura and quickly ran past all the surrounding distractions, all while trying to keep Kasane in his sights.
When he got past the bridge however, Hikaru's eyes widened in surprise at what, or rather whom he saw Kasane talking to.
"Karen?! What's he doing all the way out here? I better check out what's happening." He said as he made his way to the two of them as he could make out bits and pieces of their conversation.
