This guy seems dead but somehow is still breathing! I don't know what to do I wasn't taught medicine or anything medical. His heart rate seems to be getting lower and lower, please don't die on me. Wait maybe Quija knows what to do...
Mayura
Quija!
Quija
May! How's everything? Is it a dead person?
Mayura
No not dead, yet, but close to being, please tell me the transporters have a kit or something
Quija
Yes they have one in the compartment under the seats
Mayura
Ok, ok, umm... I don't know what to do he's heavily injured
Quija
You're either gonna have to take him to the transporter with you or bring it to him
Mayura
I'll take him with me, I don't want to come back to a dead body
Quija
I'll be on the line in case you need backup, I'm meeting up with one of the bosses as we speak
Mayura
OkQuickly I put him over my shoulders and head to the transporter. It's one of the good sides of having a low gravitational pull on Chikyu, he seems lighter than a normal person. Maybe he's a kid? If he is where's his parents or friends? Wait how'd he end up there on that tree in....
Mayura
Quija?
Quija
Yes May?
Mayura
I don't think he's from here
Quija
As in Dagda? How does he look like
Mayura
Young, a little scratched up but I've never since his face type at all in my life
Quija
Wait so what you're saying is-
Mayura
He's not from Chikyu Quija... plus he was in a tree right by the gate
Quija
Holy-
Mayura
Uh Quija?Oh I forgot, she's meeting up with one of the bosses, I'm almost there. I can hear this guy's breathing like he's trying to say something.
~
Quija
MAY!! GET OUT OF THERE!
May
Quija! What do you mean?? Where are you?
Quija
(heavy breathing) I'm running away! They're using the gates for slaves!!
Mayura
No that can't be true, they told us that it's for research
Quija
They lied! The boss tried convincing me to join their cause but I refused, he tried forcing me into a controlled neck collar but I managed to leave
Mayura
This isn't right, we need to get out of this place
Quija
Wait what about the guy you found?
Mayura
I was about to ask you that, how do I apply the kit?
Quija
Ok, lemme catch my breath, I'm on the transporter heading to your location
Mayura
They're not following you?
Quija
If they are they ought to know I'm the fastest racer out there
Mayura
So much for a big income
Quija
Forget about that, ok so flip him on his stomach
Mayura
Ok, done
Quija
Attach the kit to his back and let it do the rest
Mayura
Whoa...The kit seems to be opening up and covering his body scanning his health. I then see it inject something in him and he immediately opens his mouth as if he wasn't breathing.
Mayura
He wasn't breathing Quija, that's why his heart rate was low
Quija
If he isn't from Chikyu, maybe his world's atmosphere is different than ours?
Mayura
This just got so much more complicated-
Denshi
*GASP* ALAN!!!!
Mayura
YEESH!
Quija
May! They're following me! I don't think I can outrun them...
Mayura
Quija you have to lose them please do anything!
Quija
...
Mayura
Quija? Quija!!!
Denshi
(panicking) Who are you?? Where am I? What is this?? What's going?
Mayura
Wait you can't be... no way
Denshi
Answer me! Where's my friends?
Mayura
Denshi?
Denshi
How do you know my name?
Mayura
I- you don't remember me?
Denshi
I would try to but where am I?
Mayura
Oh my gosh it is you!! Don't you remember me?
Denshi
I'm sorry, I don't
Mayura
This can't be happening, why's this happening?
Denshi
What's going on?
Mayura
I don't know anymore, my friend might be dead, I finally got to see you again but you forgot me
Denshi
I swear I don't want to hurt your emotions but I truly don't
Mayura
We played together as kids... until you did something, but then you had a hard time breathing and almost passed out
Denshi
Is it true?
Mayura
Yes it all makes sense now! You can't remember me because you went back through the gate, no one ever remembers what happens on the other side of the gate
Denshi
It's either a concussion or unless I really am this dumb, but what's all of this mean?
Mayura
As a kid you might've went through a gate, can you remember that?
Denshi
Oh my... you're telling me, that whatever happened to me as a kid is true?
Mayura
What?
Denshi
As a kid I got lost only for a little bit but people told me I went missing for a week
Mayura
Yes! Here where I live people go missing but return unharmed as if nothing happened to them
Denshi
So wait... am I in a "gate" right now?
Mayura
A gate is simply a bridge to another place
Denshi
"Place"? This place doesn't seem familiar at all... am I in Europe?
Mayura
Umm... I don't think that exists here
Denshi
What you've been living under a rock?
Mayura
This is Dagda in the... (checks map) shinrin region
Denshi
Yeah this in no way sounds familiar
Mayura
I always found you strange back then as kids, but if I'm not mistaken, you aren't from around here
Denshi
Obviously, I'm American and you seem... Asian?
Mayura
I'm part of the Ajia people
Denshi
...
Mayura
Denshi you aren't from my world
Denshi
...
Mayura
Is the kit ok?
Denshi
I think I might be sick...
Mayura
But the kit is worki-
Fráe
There you are Mayura!
Mayura
Boss!? What (sudden realization) are you doing here?
Fráe
Well I heard you found a gate and couldn't wait so I came to see for myself. Congratulations Mayura! You're one of the few that were able to find a gate.
Denshi
Who are you?
Fráe
I could ask you the same question
Mayura
He was on a, hiking adventure and tumbled into me. Well I found him since he was hurt so I stopped and helped him
Denshi
(confidently) Yeah I'm glad she was around to help me, or else I might've ended up dead
Fráe
I'm glad you're safe umm...
Denshi
Denshi... Denshi Jr.
Fráe
Strange name, well anyways, maybe I can repay the debt The Cage has with you Mayura. You've done plentiful for the cause
Mayura
(nervously) Oh it's fine Boss, I think the payment would suffice
Fráe
No I insist May-
Denshi
I don't think you heard her but she said she's good for now
Fráe
(sigh) You know May, for someone as clever as you you sometimes forget such simple things
Mayura
Oh I'm sorry! I forgot to stabilize the gate, I'll do it right awa-
Fráe
(grabs arm) I didn't mean that... you forgot to turn off your coms
Denshi & Mayura
(silent shocked expression)
Denshi
RUN MAY!!!Denshi pulls me away from Fráe and we run as fast as we could toward the transporter. I turn around and see Fráe stand still as if a plot he has for us will come into play. I hop on the transporter with Denshi in the back and zoom through the forest. I look around and see other agents of The Cage start chasing us down. At this point I want to give up and let whatever happens happen.
Denshi
We are not going down like this, I don't know about you but I have a whole life ahead of me
Mayura
What if we don't survive Denshi?
Denshi
Hey what are these things back here?
Mayura
Umm, co-pilot control, why? Oh Denshi NO!Denshi takes control of the transporter valiantly reminding me of how stuck up he was back then.
It's sad for me knowing he doesn't remember the memories we made long ago. Maybe he'll gain them back if he stays long enough? Perhaps then we could explore the world like he promised.Denshi
I have an idea, but you aren't gonna like it
Mayura
Uh oh, what's the plan
Denshi
We go back to Earth
Mayura
Your world!??
Denshi
(talking over the wind) Thinking about how all these memory things work and how time runs differently for both of our worlds, if we stay long enough in my world, they'll give up on chasing you. Plus they won't even know where to look if they decide to follow us through the "gates"
Mayura
I don't know Denshi, what if I can't remember where I came from?
Denshi
I'll remind you everyday
Mayura
...
Denshi
Let's go!!!I'm officially scared, I don't want to forget this place. My home, even my family, I know I made a lot of mistakes in my time of life. I somehow find the emotion to forgive them now, the past is the past and it's time to move on. We turn around sharply and lose some of the agents following us and speed up towards the stabilized gate. Before running away from Fráe I threw the stabilizer under the gate so I hope it works... for the sake of Quija...
Denshi
Don't cry uh.... you never told me your name
Mayura
(laughs wiping tears off her face) It's fine Denshi, my name is-
