Beatrice POV
"What does that even mean?!" I slammed my hands on the table.
"Just what I said," HIM replied "You little brat, you're messing up my chessboard." he said almost monotone
"Why all the mystery?! Just explain to me what's happening?! Who are these people! Why do they need me?! What is so important!?" I was fuming "Most importantly what do you have to do with this!"
"What?" He turned to me
"You have been giving me mysterious bull for the last who knows how long!" I yelled "Why can't you just tell me!"
"What's the use?" he asked "You're not waking up anytime soon."
"Don't give me that lame excuse!"
"It's the truth. These 'people', are being lead by someone who adores me, worship even." HIM explained "They need your body, every little drop of Z-Ray energy there is. Not just yours, the Rowdyruff Boys and maybe the puffs if they oh so please."
"How do you....."
HIM smirked at me "It wasn't hard. I sensed this dark soul and simply started talking to him. I told him I could help him with his experiments. Blah blah blah..."
"How do I fit into this?"
"You contain the most, and unstable Z-Ray energy. Trust me Ms.Matsumara. You are the key here."
"N-No! Let me out! I want to go home! Wake me up now!" I tried shooting at him but nothing came out.
"I have told you. You are under heavy anesthetics. They don't want you waking up."
"No," I feel the tears starting in my eyes.
"I tried to tell you," HIM replied drinking his tea. "What are you going to do with this newfound information."
"I can't do anything." I was on my knees crying.
I could feel something in my chest, something warm. It got hotter the more I went in that direction what stood before me were glowing auras. Pink, red, light blue, dark blue, lime green, dark green. "I can feel it." Right next to them was a dim white one. "This is mine."
"Hmm? Oh those old things?" HIM said resetting the chess board "I haven't used them since New Years. Don't touch them though."
"Why not."
"Hell if I know," he mumbled
"I can feel them, they're in trouble."
Aiko POV
"This is gonna be difficult." I sighed
"Maka," Simon said "Do you know what's happening? Why are all these guards here."
"I really don't know Simon," I admitted "They kidnapped my friend and my brothers are here too. I have to help them."
We walked carefully along the wall avoiding as many guards as possible. I took the papers out of my bag and read tried reading them over. One thing was the same, the name Jean Ridges.
If anything, he had to know where they were. "Simon I have an idea, it's not that good but it's all we got."
"Alright, I trust you Maka." Simon replied.
Simon went in front of me running. Harsh and warm memories flooded into my mind, I tried to repress them. Finding my brothers were the only things that mattered right now. We ran more until a loud blaring noise came over and red lights flashed everywhere! I covered my ears, practically running on the back of Simon's heels. I tripped and hit my nose and felt Simon's hand leave mine. On the floor someone pulled/dragged me by my arm and I was pushed against the wall. Guards ran passed us and disappeared down the hall.
