Testing Emotions

A Forever Storm

Heavy sheets of rain was heard on the roof of the building as thunder ripped through the air and lightning struck the Earth. The Decker room had no windows, so Suki couldn't see how intense the storm was, even though she had a pretty good idea.

The storm went silent for a second, then a loud crash of thunder startled Suki, making her yelp. Everyone jumped from her reaction, "Ah, sorry...." She blushed, feeling Deckerd's concerned gaze on her.

He stared at her for a second then turned back to his work.

Does she have fear? He wondered. Maybe he gained fear? Or maybe he just needs to have another scan done.

Brushing it off his mind, he flipped a page. The was one of the few times during the last couple of months that something caught his eye. A picture was pinned to it, but it was hard to see. A black, shadowy figure in an ally, looking at the photogropher, with red eyes. It was big, perhaps a robot?

"Duke, look at this." He handed the paper over to him, and the grumpy robot took it. Deckerd was a little worried about him, he didn't really seem to talk to anyone lately. Duke stared at the figure, then read the report with great interest.

September 6th

'Two days ago.' Duke thought with a bit of surprise.

A mysterious figure appeared at the back alley of the Kikonarou Business domain in Nanamagari. Witnesses believe it was a being of extraterrestrial origin. Even though there have been no reported inguries from this being, it seemed to arrive only in a time of need.

This figure cannot be captured, it's intelligence seems to be greater than we observed, but it's also very curious and tries to get close to humans. It never makes a sound, voice or approach.

Duke handed the paper back to Deckerd.

"Thoughts?" The blye robot adked, putting the papers back on his desk.

Duke shook his head, "If it doesn't hurt anyone, best not to get involved. Let this mystery solve itself." His anger filled him, he forgot about being positive, he knew what that figure was.

"Is there something you know that we should know?" Deckerd looked at the red and white robot, concerned and confused.

"Uh- no." Duke quickly denied his questioned, making Deckerd focus on the paper again.

It seemed like the storm wouldn't stop, they've had storms like this before, and a hurricane was probably worse. Suki felt something inside her twist, something was wrong.

"Chiyoko, you feel that?" She looked at her partner.

"A bad feeling? I would know if I didn't." The younger bot replied.

Then the phone rang, and McCrane picked it up.

"Brave Police," He answered, listening to a panicked voice. The black and yellow bot stood up, "We'll be right there."

"Where's the fire?" Suki asked.

"Downtown Nanamagari, the Litara Resturant IS on fire." He responded.

"Why hasn't the rain put out the fire?" Drill Boy asked.

"It's probably a grease fire, unable to be put out from water." Chiyoko answered.

"Guys, head for the resturant!" Yuuta stood up.

It took a few minutes to arrive at their location because of the rain. With the wind blowing hard against them, they changed, seeing many have already evacuated.
