Scepter 4... Reishi's office.
Aisaka sits in front of Reishi's table. "Captain, I have some request for you", Aisaka opened. "It'll be an honor to work with you", Reishi clasped his hands together. "The other Slate user...he's nowhere to be found in the navigator. I would like to ask Fushimi to work under me", Aisaka negotiated. "But Fushimi-san is a member of the Scepter 4-", Nami suddenly blurted. "Aisawa, you're being rude towards a King", Reishi turned to her. Nami avertes her stares. "I wont allow Fushimi-san to go with her, Captain", Nami pouted. Reishi looked at the two girls with amusement. "Why dont we ask him? Who will he choose?", Reishi suggested. "It was a stupid suggestion after all. I will have him work under Scepter 4 but allow me to borrow him for some missions", Aisaka sighed and went out of the office. "Did something happen?", Reishi asked Nami. "Captain, I wont let her gave more wounds to Fushimi-san", Nami had a fire on her eyes. "I understand", Reishi smiled.
Aisaka walked downstairs and met Awashima. "Shino.. Black King... Have you retrieved your things from Aisawa?", Awashima asked. "No need to. Those are Shinoa's and not mine", Aisaka bowed. She passed through Awashima. "Shinoa... I know you are inside. When all of this are done, I want to see you smile again", Awashima continued walking. "I hope so", Aisaka whispered to the air.
Ashinaka High School.
Weisman and his clansmen's dorm.
Kuro's cooking for for lunch and Weisman is checking on his documents. "Shiro... Will the same thing happen? Killing kings... It will be the same as what happened to the Red King right?", Neko sounded worried. "It's true that Asahi is forming King. We will have the burden of killing a king...and once that happens", Weisman looked at Kuro. "I will be entrusting Neko to you", Weisman smiled. "Dont talk like that", Kuro got angry. "It seems like the Black King have tok many secrets under her sleeves", Weisman stood and sat on the bed. Neko also sat with him. "Shiro...what will happen next?", Neko asked. "Even me cannot predict", Weisman gave a long sigh.
Homra bar...
Yata and Anna is playing shouji. "I heard that Shinoa was able to beat the Blue King", Yata chuckled. "Yata-san, the truth is... ", Anna stopped talking. "What is it?", Yata insisted. "The Black King didnt loose her memories. She kept it inside of her but...because of some reason, she cannot let those affect her", Anna informed. "Does monkey knows about this?", Yata asked. Anna shrugged. "If it's Saruhiko, he'll probably know it", Kusanagi joined the conversation. "Say, will she disappear again like what happened a year ago", Yata asked. "Who knows.. It was a miracle that she's back to life. Why would it be impossible again to save her", Anna commented. "If only it can be possible for everyone to have miracle", Yata remembered Tatara and Mikoto. "Mikoto and Tatara probably wouldnt like to take care of you again", Anna teased.
Black Organization's underground HQ.
Gino and Mikoshiba is having a tea while Erina's lying down the sofa. Fushimi entered and saw the crew lazying around. "Where is Shinoa?", Fushimi asked. "Why are calling her by her previous name?", Gino asked. "I met her as Shinoa and let go of her as Shinoa", Fushimi explained. "She's at the laboratory", Gino pointed at the sealed door. Fushimi entered and saw a lot of clones inside the containers filled with fluid. "Why are your clones wearing the same clothes?", Fushimi asked her. Aisaka panicked and cut her hands with the blade she used for the specimens. Fushimi took her hand and squeezed the blood out. "You should be careful, you are using strong chemicals", Fushimi lectured and led Aisaka at the sink. He opened the faucet and let the water clean the wound. "It was your fault for freaking me out", Aisaka pouted. "That was the part where I can see you as Shinoa", Fushimi looked at her eyes. Aisaka withdrawn her hands and went to clean her stuff. "I am not Shinoa. I am the Black King. My mission is to collect the Slate and...", Aisaka stopped. "Got no plan at all", Fushimi teased. "And ask everyone about what to do next", Aisaka added. "What if they doesnt want their powers back?", Fushimi went straight to the point. "Someday, people will understand...", Aisaka closed her eyes and looked at the clones. "The burden of becoming someone with great powers", Aisaka held tight on the table.
Mikoshiba entered. "Aisaka, Strains spotted. The Red are already running after it. Are we going to check it?", Mikoshiba asked. "We'll be going", Aisaka instructed.
Alley of the buildings...
Blue and Reds are gathered there. "Ah, monkey? Why are you here?", Yata pointed at him. Fushimi ignored him. "Can we talk to them?", Aisaka asked permission from Awashima. The lieutenant nodded. Aisaka pinned one of the strains on the wall. She's in 14-15 years old with short peach hair and same eye color. She has the ability to change into different forms. "Then, miss. Can you tell how were you able to get that ability?", Aisaka asked. "An old man offered us to be experiments in exchange of this abilities. We werent doing anything wrong. We are Strains and we dont follow anyone but we dont hurt people", The little girl explained. "Hurting or what...it doesnt change the fact that you are Strains. Where is that old man you speak about?", Aisaka tighten her grip on the girl. "We were told not to speak of any information in exchange of our powers", the little girl squeaked in pain. "You're overdoing it", Nami tried to stop her but a barrier of ice went between them. "Little miss, I ask you once again. Where is that man?", Aisaka glared at her. The little girl cried. "I really dont know", she struggled her way out. Aisaka draws her sword and pressed it against the little girl's neck. Nami's eyes widened and tried to break the ice. "Reds, please melt the ice", Nami begged. A drop of blood dripped on the girl's neck. Nami went to Mikoshiba and begged him to stop her. Mikoshiba lit a red flame and instantly melted the ice. "Aisaka", he called out. The Black King released the little girl and wiped her sword. Nami bit her lips looked at Aisaka.
The little girl stood up and gripped on Aisaka's cloak. "Is it bad for us to exist? How about you? Kings? Why can you exist with freedon?", the litte girl cried. Aisaka remained silenced. "We just wanted to experience the feeling of being different. Is that bad?", she added. Aisaka lost her control and tried to slash the girl but Mikoshiba stopped the sword with bare hand. "Sorry, Mikoshiba... Asist the blues in capturing them and try to look for any information", Aisaka left.
Nami carried the little girl at her back and heard her crying. "Was it wrong...to desire and live freely?", the little girl asked. "It was never a crime. Once you have your powers eradicated , you can go back to the normal world", Nami explained. After putting them to prison, Nami went to look for Fushimi. She saw him sitting the staircase and joined him. "I was startled back there", Nami stretched her arms. "If you didnt stop her, she probably have killed someone", Fushimi said in a weak voice. "According to what people said about her, I cant believe she's doing unimaginable things", Nami sighed. "Sorry, I am also speechless", Fushimi clasped his hands together and burrowed his face on his laps. "Fushimi-san", Nami patted his back.
To see someone change so far is really a frustrating thing to see that's why please dont blame Fushimi for acting weak this time...
