Chapter 18 part 2

Scepter 4

Once Noa had left the room, Fushimi got up from his seat ready to leave but then Munakata told him to wait for a moment.

Fushimi: I hope you know that waiting is just a waste of time.

Munakata: Have you ever heard the saying that all good comes to those who wait?

Fushimi: We could always force it out. Ryuji could be terrorizing the city for all we know.

Munakata: We still need her abilities and her trust. Anyway, how's the research going?

Fushimi: All we know is that Ryuji has several tunnels in the city, however they're not connected to each other anymore. The tunnel under our revenue only led us down a couple of blocks as an escape route.

Munakata: How about the damage reports?

Fushimi: The revenue fell apart right when we left. We'll probably have to pay for that, hopefully the bill will be spilt between us, the golds, and Homra.

Munakata: Did you find out who that other strain was?

Fushimi: Mizuki Asami, I only find out what her name was and she's currently working at a cafe. We'll have her arrested and questioned when she comes back to work tomorrow.

Munataka: There's no need to make such a big scene there. Have someone follow Noa, I'm sure she's trying to find her right now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat in my room for a good ten minutes until my cell phone began to ring.

"Hello?"

"Noa? Noa, I need your help! Please you have to hurry here!"

"Mizu? What the hell happened? Where did you go and how did you about this plan?"

"I'll explain it all later. Please get over here, come by Tree Bakery and make sure you're alone."

"Mizu, wait-"

She quickly hung up leaving me in silence once again.

"Damn it." I jumped out of bed and ran over to my window.

Once I was out, I looked around making sure that no one could find me. I sprinted over to the gates and pried them open. Before I left, I turned off the tracking chip on my phone.

I didn't want to threaten another taxi cab, so I had no choice but to run all the way there. When I arrived in the city, I was shocked to see an increase of Scepter 4 patrols. I put my hood up and tried my best to not make any eye contact.

Once I arrived at the bakery, I went to the back of the room where Mizu was waiting for me. She handed me a pastry as I sat down.

"Mizu, what's going on?" I asked.

"My apartment was completely trashed. They know where I live, if I went home last night I could've been killed."

"Wait, who was at you're-"

"Ryuji, damn it! His henchmen were there! They were there trying to get dirt on me because I refused I join him once that guy was there!"

"Guy? What guy?"

"It was the guy who gave them that special enhancer. Noa, you have to win him back because seriously he's going ballistic!"

"I...I can't."

"What? Why not? If you don't stop him then Scepter 4 will kill him."

"I'm scared! Okay, I'm scared of that man! He's the reason why I'm nothing but trouble!"

"What are you taking about?"

"When I was just a little girl, my parents gave me up to a special facility once they saw my powers. In that facility they did a series of tests and treatments to check up on our abilities and tried to improve them. Because of those tests I'm now able to hack and obtain information from computers.

The last thing I was to receive was the enhancer, unlike the others, I had a horrible reaction to it. My mind went black and I began to freak out. I caused the whole system to freak out which caused many of the scientists and other strains to die of electrocution and the fire.

The whole building began to collapse, crushing the rest of the survivors. When I woke up I was the only one still standing. There was so much smoke and rumble. My feet and hands were stained with red from all the people I passed. But then out of the smoke was Dr. Henkel, he had a frightening smile and congratulated me. He tried to take me with him but I accidentally used my powers against him.

I thought I killed him, so I fled the scene and went to a friend of the facility. He was an ordinary doctor of a hospital. He healed my wounds and shipped me to Kokujoji-san, who was a friend of his. And that's how I got tangled up in these clans."

Mizu remained quiet and patted my hand. She gave me small smile to reassure me.

"I'll come with you. If you're scared of that guy, then I'll come along to help you. But Ryuji is your job, leave that creep to me."

"We'll need more help. Even with you're help, Ryuji probably has a dozen strains under his lead." I took out my phone and searched to my contacts.

Once the other line started ringing, the phone was picked up and a familiar voice echoed in my ears.

"Hello?"

"Yukari, I need you're help with something."

"Depends on the situation. Judging by your luck I'd say this has something to do with the strains."

"How did-?"

"Please Noa, I've been seeing these strains running around at night. It's making this hell for me. So what can I do for you?"
