One day past since the incident at the Space Station 8. The fire on the three areas were succesfully put out by the captains and soldiers. Luckily for the Space Station, no one lost their lives, or even get injured, except one person. The buildings that get caught in the explosions are in ruins, and are not usable anymore. Even if no life was lost during the prison break, a huge scar was left by the two escapees, which would eventually change the fate of the Space Station 8.
Yaozu slams the table with her hand out of rage.
„How can you people let the prisoners escape so easily? It's a shame that you people call yourselves a soldier of the Space Station 8 for running away from the fight.", scolding the soldiers inside the meeting room, while the soldiers don't know what to say.
„It's a disgrace for you to be in the same room as we are."
„The past can't be changed, what's done is done. Even if the soldiers would've fought, they would've lost, considering that even Zakumi was defeated by one of them.", says Ai.
„We are surrounded by weaklings, I already told that we need more people with powers. As long as we have so many powerless people inside the facility, we will always lose when it comes to this. Our security is trash, and even our cells, that had to suppress the powers of the prisoners, were trash. I don't know how we can call us the Space Station 8 like this.", says Akizora.
„This is indeed a really bad situation, we lost two important prisoners. Zakumi must be right, this was the plan all along to break out the new prisoner. The two probably belong to that organization.", says Juju.
„Your methods to control the Space Station 8 is old, and didn't work since this day. You are not fit to lead us, you should know that.", adds Akizora.
„Know your place, you don't know how to talk to the commander. Your methods are not better either, it's filled with brutality and violence. With them, you would take the Space Station 8 down in no time", says Yaozu.
„You are in the same position as the commander by agreeing with everything he did so far. Don't blind yourself with your loyality bullshit. I'm thinking about the future and reputataion of the Space Station 8, and don't agree with every stupid decision of the commander. I am pretty sure, that you would even agree to the demise of the Space Station 8 if it would come out of the mouth of the commander. You should know your place and think more rationally, not out of loyality. You might lick the balls of the commander, but you are not in a position to talk to me.", says Akizora.
„That's going to far. You won't get anywhere by insulting people, especially the commander. We are captains of the Space Station 8 not just for some missions, but for this kind of situations, you were as powerless as the rest of us. Were you able to stop the prisoners? No. So don't talk high and mighty when you yourself didn't accomplish anything on your own.", says Ai.
„Since you became a captain, you're talking to much. I've been here since the beginning unlike you, and saw more than you can think of. All the wrong decisions brought us to this situation. You are the same as Yaozu. With captains like you, we will bring the demise of the Space Station 8.", says Akizora.
„You can't even follow orders properly. You always do what's on your mind, bringing your men in danger. You don't teach your men how to behave, but act on impulse. You are the least suitable person here to talk about being rational.", says Yaozu.
„Enough!", screams Juju suddenly, making everyone get pulled on the ground.
Akizora, Ai and Yaozu all hit the table with their faced because of the increased gravity, while the rest of soldiers are completely on the ground. After a split second of rage, Juju calms himself down, canceling his doing. Juju immediately sends the soldiers out of the room, telling them that he will take care everything from here on. The soldiers leave the meeting room. The remaining three captains are all sweating a little.
„We don't have strong soldiers or more people with the kind of power we possess. We are not the only Space Station in the world, other places need people to fight against the monsters as well. The soldiers made a good decision to run away, risking their lives won't bring much to us. I'm always trying to find the best solution how to handle prisoners, but so far it failed. I made a lot of miscalculations until this day, I am aware of that. Nontheless, we were able to not lose a single life yesterday. The soldiers also found more explosives on different areas, so this must be the doing of someone that was previously here and had intel. I'm pretty sure that more explosives are around, the soldiers are working already to find them. We never thought that an incident to this calibar could've happened, because we didn't believe that one of us could turn out be a traiter in the end. But now that it came to this, a lot of things will change from this point on. I probably will no longer be the commander of the Space Station 8, the master is on his way.", shocking the captains.
„I don't know what will happen to the Space Station 8 once the master takes over, but things will change drastically. You should all be prepared for something new. I will take full responsibility of course for everything that happened yesterday, because it was a lack of my leadership. You are all dismissed.", making Juju end the meeting.
Yaozu, Ai and Akizora are leaving the room, making Juju stay alone inside. Juju gets angry and bolds a fist, breaking the part of the table in front of him.
„I didn't know that it could get this far. Now even the master is coming. What will happen now?", asks Yaozu.
„We are doomed. The master's nothing like any person you people have met.", says Akizora.
„As I can recall, you and Juju are the only ones to have ever met the master. Is he so bad?", asks Ai.
„The master is the one who built the Space Station 8, and all the other Space Stations. The Space Station 8 should've acted as an example for the other stations in being the most powerful one, but we failed repeatedly over the months. You will be glad to have ever had Juju as the commander. Once the master is here, everything is truly over for us", says Akizora with fear inside his eyes.
Zakumi is lying inside a bed, while being unconscious, covered with bandages all over his body. Burn marks can still be seen on various spaces on his body. Zakumi will be unconcious for a few more days, according to the doctor, and Zakumi needs to rest even after that. It was a hard loss for Zakumi after gaining the title of being the captain of the Space Station 8. Now that everything's literally cooling down, the Space Station 8 will try to go back to their every day routine until the big change arrives.
At the same time, Hirono and Kara are still on their to the hideout.
„Well, everything moved smoother than I thought.", says Kara.
„You destroyed most of that facility, I think it went more than smooth.", tells Hirono.
„All those destroyed buildings were a path to our escape. If I didn't put the attentions of the other captains to those places, we would've get caught. This was a one way ticket. I'm pretty sure that the soldiers did already find the other hidden explosives that I places inside the facilities. There won't be a second prison break."
„I'm still confused that you worked for the Space Station 8 and were able to get out of there. You told me that there is more to the story than those people and the meteorite, but what is it exactly?"
„As I said before, it's more complicated than you can think of. What I can tell is, that these supernatural power didn't appear just recently. They exist for hundreds of years by now.", shocking Hirono.
„So there are other things and powers out there?"
„That's correct. But our powers are different from the others. There are different powers around the world, and all existed from the start, except ours. The meteorite that crashed started our supernatural life."
„It sounds like someone explicedly let the meteorite crash to cause the gas to spread. As I can tell, there is even more to that story."
„The meteorite was not an accident but something planned. The first and real Space Station didn't see the meteorite on their radar, because it appeared from another dimension and not from out of space. From this point on, it gets even more complicated. That's why Tenazuchi should explain everything to you when you meet him, he is eagerly waiting for you anyway."
„Just a month ago, I was living inside four walls all by myself. I didn't want to do anything with anyone, ignored one of the best people in the world, who didn't give up on me, and had a plain and boring life. I was not interested in anything at all. When I decided to do something different for the first time in my life and climbed on the roof, that little change in my plain life changed literally my whole life."
„It's a big change for you, I know. You will learn more about your powers and the truth behind everything that happened so far. Your life will be more than a plain boring life from now on, you should get ready for it."
„For the first time of my life, I'm exited for a reason.", making Hirono smile, and keeping Kara speechless.
„I should be in fear and confusion, but I'm not. I should be running away and hide, but I want to run towards the stream of the gas. I never felt alive like this. When I first activated my powers, and realized all of this after killing one of those monsters, I thought I became a crazy person. Even if I was angry at Zakumi for putting people in danger, I was enjoying my fight. I don't have the feeling of emptiness anymore. I want to be a part of this world. No, I have to be a part of this world.", tells Hirono.
„I am really surprised to hear those words out of your mouth. I was pretty sure that you were scared and confused, that we would have a hard time to make you get used to this. You keep on surprising me since I met you. This is just a small step inside this whole new world for you. If you really enjoy being a part of it, the next steps will make you even more satisfied.", says Kara, making Hirono shine inside.
„But, we still have a little bit more until we reach our hideout. Sometimes, the action is taking a while to happen."
It's night outside, when Hirono and Kara finally reach a deserted town, covered in gas.
„Only people like us can move inside the gas freely, that's the advantage of our powers as well. Like this, we are able to create hideouts no one will ever find.", says Kara.
Both of them move inside the deserted town until they reach a destroyed little house. Kara uses his giant fire hands to lift the walls on the ground, making an entrance appear that leads downstairs. Hirono enters the passage, and Kara closes the entrance again from the inside. Both walk the stairs down, as it is still dark, but the fire hands of Kara light up the passage. After a little walk, a door can be seen at the end of the stairs. Kara opens it, and both he and Hirono enters the giant room filled with devices.
„This is the laboratory of our crazy professor.", says Kara.
„It's not nice of you to call me crazy, I've been dedicated my life for my fellow friends inside here.", says Tenuzuchi as he works on some chemicals.
„You keep on doing crazy stuff and asking us to do the same crazy stuff. You are crazy in your head.", says Kara.
„It's all for you guys.", replies Tenuzuchi.
„Anyway, I've completed the task you've given me. Stop toying around, and put your attention over here. I've worked my ass off for the past month so that you can be satisfied.", says Kara.
„Just a few more minutes, I'm about to find something new."
„You can do it later!", and uses his flame hands in order to stop Tenuzuchi, but they vanish instantly once getting close to Tenuzuchi.
„I hate your power.", adds Kara.
Tenuzuchi slowly puts everything aside and cleans the table completely, making it look like new. Tenzuchi looks at Hirono, and analyses his body.
„Do you like to be naked?", ask Tenuzuchi Hirono.
„Are you being serious? This is the first thing you're saying after we arrive here?", says Kara.
„Maybe he is like me, and doesn't like dirt. That may be a reason for him not to wear any clothes. I have to know this.", says Tenuzuchi.
„Well, it was not my choice to be naked. The first time I received my powers, my body became muscular and ripped my clothes apart. When I fought Zakumi, my clothes got destroyed completely as well.", says Hirono.
„I see, but that's not important right now.", says Tenuzuchi, making Kara get pissed at Tenuzuchi.
„You probably want to shower and eat something first. You must be tired after such a long journey. Clean up and fresh yourself up. The others are not here, but they should all arrive within couple weeks. I'm sure that you can't wait, but what needs to be done first is for you to take care of yourself. After you get your rest, we can start to talk. You will receive a lot of new information, so get prepared.", says Tenuzuchi.
