CHAPTER 9

"We're family..." Orga finished. "But you're special. Special to only me... My beautiful Cyborg Princess..." He leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
"Orga..." Elisaveta smiled at him. "I'm still a human being to some extent."
Orga joked. "Yet again, I'm also a cyborg." He pointed at the back of his neck.
Elisaveta rolled her eyes as she kissed him back.

The group created a route to the main Teiwaz base near Jupiter. Orga aided Elisaveta's thighs as they help maintaining the loose wires. It was not easy as she receives memories of her captivity but also how she lost her legs. She shook her head in fear and her body trembled. Orga hugged her and kissed her neck to calm her down. It only worked for a moment but it would help her recover, which is the problem.

She trembles as a vision of a mysterious white figure used tools and she was screaming in fear. She wiggled in pain but she was pinned and chained to a bed. She screams were covered in horror, blood and hands. People had to keep her quiet. They couldn't kill her. They can't. They need her.

The couple was interrupted by Naze as he welcomed Tekkadan to the base. The boys rushed outside. Orga kissed Eli's forehead, she nodded as she got dressed in her formal playsuit with army colours. She sighed when he left her side, she began to tie up her hair.

Eugene mumbled to Orga and wondered where she was. Orga hissed at him, as they walked with Naze to two guards in black. Naze introduced himself and mentioned the code word, "Old Man" and allowed the group to proceed. The group went inside and was greeted with an old man with a black Japanese traditional yukata. Kudelia was offered to have a personal conversation with him and have Mikazuki as a guard. The three agreed and went the personal chat.

Questions of her safe escort to Earth has been asked by the old fellow as he acknowledges her passion for the Martians independence. However, one questions caught her off guard. A question that questions the escort mission and how Taiwez and Tekkadan. The question startled her as she did not know what do to do and wishes to have time to think about it. However, the old man wanted her answer on the spot. After waiting in silence, Mikazuki stood up and thought about his thoughts to the two. Kudelia hanged her head and tried to think fast. Memories of her friend crying in fear, in blood and smiling at her flashed in her face. She swallowed but looked at the old man and decided what she would do. Mikazuki and the old man nodded and agreed with her.

After leaving the room, the old man praised Mikazuki for his chat with him but also his talent as a pilot for the Barbatos. Mikazuki was emotionless and thanked him when he closed the door. Elisaveta was outside of the door and smiled at Mikazuki. She knocked on the door and was allowed to come inside. The old man was surprised to see her in front of him. Elisaveta was nervous but managed to be brave. She smiled at him with a bow, and then became stiff. She was scared but she needed to ask a question that he only knows.

He was confused but allowed her to ask him. "Who were they? " She was obviously scared.
"They?" He asked as he tried to carefully remember. "It may not be accurate but I do remember encountering you with them... But." He paused.
Elisaveta trembled in fear.
He continued. "You will found out soon enough my child." The old man got up.
"But..." She mumbled.
He stared at her. "It is the best if you find out yourself. You are brave to even ask me, out of all people."
Elisaveta stared at his eyes with a serious expression. "They are the reason why I am weak and have robotic legs. Not Gjallarhorn, but them."
"..." He stayed quiet.
She continued. "However, I have a strange memory in my dreams..."
"..." He leaned forward with his fist on the table resting his chin.
"It's a mysterious lady that cried with red hair. She was carrying two children on both hands." Elisaveta closed her eyes as she tried to remember. "One of the child was a girl with burette hair. A photo was giving to someone along with the girl. The lady said something along the lines with 'Keep her safe. Make sure that they don't get to her... Forge her brothers age with three years apart. It's the only way to make them safe'." Elisaveta looked up and wondered. "How am I linked to that incident?"
He sighed. "It is okay." He smiled. "I know that this has been haunting you... But I can't say anything." He hinted that he knew what happened. "But, I was briefly told about that incident. I knew that lady very well. I followed her orders but..." He stopped.
Elisaveta's eyes widen in shock. "..."
"There was a raid on this very base fifteen years ago. A young brave girl was kidnapped by Space Pirates." He grinned to his comment and remember the girl smiling at him. "She told me to stay strong and that she will be safe and come back to me. But also find her brother."
"Why?!" Elisaveta started crying. "Why are you telling me this part?"
"And I regret telling you. It's best if you find out for yourself... Since you in grave danger at a young age..." He mumbled. "That girl came back to me." He looked at Eli with an intense gaze. "Make sure Orga treats you well or I will get Naze to teach him a lesson."
Eli started to blush when he knew about their relationship. Her body became warm and she startled.
He giggled. "You are dismissed."
The door closed behind her, leaving a knot in her chest. She clenched her fist with a long sigh.
