Because of her

Disappearance

Disappearance

Neo is franticly trying to reach the café, hoping to find someone that can help. He reaches it and tries getting in, but the door is too heavy for him to push open. He looks around trying to find another way in, but just then someone opened the door. Neo dashes inside searching for the familiar waitress from before. He goes up to the counter and finds Ayami immediately. Ayami spots him immediately and looks a bit confused.

“Hey there little guy aren’t you Frexien’s aura pet?” She asks Neo, who looks really worried. He begins tugging on her Apron as hard as he can try to get her to follow him. “Is something wrong? Did something bad happen to Frexien?” She continues asking. Neo nods nervously and turns to run towards the door. She runs after him and opens the door. Neo runs fast back in the direction he came to where the mysterious man knocked Frexien out cold. Ayami tries to keep up with the surprisingly fast Neo. They reach the spot where Frexien was taken down but to Neo and Ayami’s surprise there’s no one there.

“Hey are you sure this is the right spot?” She asks Neo who looks up at her with teary eyes. Ayami starts to get very worried and goes to pick him up. He didn’t even try to resist. She turns and rushes back towards the café to try and contact the others. When Neo and Ayami reach the café she immediately runs towards the counter and dials Sora’s number.

“Hello?” Sora answers.

“Thank goodness you answered! Frexien’s gone missing! His aura pet is here with me and he led me to where Frexien was supposed to be! Looks like he ran into trouble and has been kidnapped!” Ayami manages to finish her sentences while trying not to cry.

“WHAT! Ok I’ll tell everyone. You stay there and keep calm. Keep Neo there with you where you’re safe.” Sora yells out through the phone and hangs up. “Guys Frexiens gone missing, Ayami is keeping Neo safe, we gotta find him! He adds on almost crying himself. Everyone gets a shocked expression and immediately get serious.

“We should split up and cover more ground.” Roman says sounding much calmer than usual.

“I’ll search by air!” Kira yells out

“I’ll search the area near the café!” Nala yells out afterwards. She runs off in the direction of the café and vanishes in a puff of blue smoke. Kira turns toward a building and jumps and also vanishes in a puff of red smoke.

“I guess we’ll just run through the city! We should find Zero and tell him too!” Sora tells Roman as they nod to each other and run in opposite directions. Sora thinks to himself. “He better be ok.” He stops running suddenly as if he just realized something important. “Neo should be able to track Frexien down! I gotta get to the café.” He begins running back towards the café to where Neo is.

He reaches the café and runs inside really fast. “Sora!? Did you find him?” Ayami asks him quickly.

“No not yet. I actually came here to get Neo. If he really is Frexien’s auric pet, then he should be able to track him down.” Sora says, and then looks at Neo. “Neo, can you find or feel where Frexien is?” He asks him. Neo only looks at him and closes his eyes. After a few moments he opens then again and looks down. “I see so something is preventing you from finding him.” Sora says over to Neo. Neo looks up and nods. “I guess I’ll continue the search then. Stay here in case he comes back ok!”

“Yes of course.” Ayami responds and picks up Neo and heads to the top of the café to see if she can find any signs of him. “Don’t worry Neo, we’ll find him.” She tells Neo while trying to calm him down. Hours pass and everyone goes back to the café to regroup. Zero joined in halfway through when Sora caught up to him and told him the situation.
