"This man is General Daichi!?" Adrien says while pointing at him.
"I'm so pleased you already know my name, Miss Vanguard." Daichi says as he places his hand on his chest.
He looks over to Nanaji and glares at him. "So this the so called intruder who slipped past you!" He asks his men standing right behind him.
"Yes sir." They say defeatingly.
"Well don't just stand there! Apprehend him!" He says as he motions his men to arrest Nanaji.
Daichi walks over to Adrien and kneels down beside her bed. He takes a firm grasp on her wrist. "He didn't hurt you did he Miss Vanguard?" He wears a fake expression of concern on his face.
"No! Of course not! I was the one who invited him to stay! Please let him go!" She pleads with him.
"Oh dear. You asked that animal to stay with you? We'll in that case you must be feeling much better. Right?" He asks as he gets closer to her.
Nanaji shakes his head profusely, trying to get her to say no.
"W-well yes, I guess you could say I feel a little bit better, but I am a bit hungry." She says nervously as she backs up.
"Wonderful! Come now, we'll get you something to eat." Daichi says as he takes her by the arm and drags her out of the bed by her wrist.
"Hey! Her nurse attendants will take care of that! Let her go!" Nanaji protest as he struggles against Daichi's men.
Adrien snatches her wrist away from the general's grasp. "If you don't mind General. I'd like to wait for my nurse attendants to come back." She says as she gives him a cautious glare that sends shivers down the General spine.
'This girl.'
"There's really no need for that Miss Vanguard. Me and my men will make sure your taken care of." He goes to reach for her wrist once again.
But is shocked by a flare of energy from her hands. "He gives her a hostile look."
"Don't touch me." She orders him.
The General scowls at her. "Listen here you little-"
He stops in his tracks when he feels a hand on his shoulder. He looks behind him.
"H-Headmaster Lucien!?"
"General. What do you think your doing?" Lucien asks him with a strict voice.
"Was I not clear enough when I said that you were not to go anywhere near miss Vanguard until she was discharged from the hospital."
Daichi looks at Lucien with a scowl on his face, while Nanaji and Adrien stare on dumbfounded.
Katalina and Luka head back to Adrien's room with several items of food, since they didn't know what she'd prefer.
They look on ahead as they see a crowd form around her room.
"What the heck is going on over there?" Luka asks.
"oh no. Um? Luka! Can you hold this real quick, I'll be right back!" Katalina instantly hands all the food to Luka and runs up ahead.
She pushes through the crowd of people and a look of horror is plastered all over her face.
Lucien, Daichi, Adrien, and Nanaji turn and all eyes are on her.
"Lieutenant." Lucien says very intimidatingly.
"Do you have anything you want to tell me." He says as he gestures toward Nanaji.
Nanaji looks at Katalina and smiles awkwardly. ''sorry.'' He mouths.
"All of you in my Office! NOW!" He shouts
The three of them sit side by side with Katalina in the middle. They wait and sit in silence, until Lucien comes back and gives them a piece of his mind.
She sits there playing with her fingers, while Daichi sits there mumbling angrily to himself.
Nanaji leans over and whispers to Katalina. "Hey Kat. I'm sorr-"
"Stop that." She interupts
"What?" He asks confused.
"Stop saying Sorry. That's all everyone is doing! Apologizing! We're ALL sitting here doing nothing! Just Apologizing and feeling sorry for ourselves!! Blaming each other for what happened in the past! Keeping secrets that would drive anyone insane!! That's All anyone ever does in this place!! Enough! It's Over! I'm sick of it!!"
She stops yelling and gives everyone time to comprehend what she just said.
Daichi and Nanaji looks at her like she's crazy.
She takes a few moments to compose herself and wipes her face.
They all hear the door creak open and Lucien walks in. He doesn't say anything, he just walks to his desk and sits down.
Katalina and Nanaji look down at the floor, not wanting to look Lucien in the eyes.
Daichi does the exact opposite, and stares daggers at him.
Lucien finally speaks up. "I think you all know why your here today."
He stands up and walks towards them. "Does anyone want to tell me why you're hear today?"
Katalina talks first. "I'm here because I brought a civilian in here without government authority."
"Good start. Anyone else."
Nanaji speaks up next. "I-I'm here because I guess I saw something I wasn't supposed to?" He says not sure of what answer Lucien wanted.
"Interesting. General?"
Daichi leans back in his chair and gives Lucien the most disrespectful look he has ever seen. "Well, dear Headmaster. I seem to have no idea as to why I am here, but unfortunately I have better things to do than to be reprimanded like a child. So if I could Ju-"
Lucien smashes a glass vase on the floor, which makes everyone flinch in horror.
"What were you two thinking!!" He directs his frustration to Katalina and Daichi.
"Lieutenant! You not only brought a civilian into a highly secure facility. You brought A CHILD into this facility and let him stumble into the one thing we didn't want this Island knowing about!!
"And you! General! You try to handle the situation yourself by trying to drag miss Vanguard out of the hospital, and go against all my orders!" He yells at them,
while Nanaji sits there scared and confused.
Lucien sighs. "I already have enough officers taking time off for injuries and mental health. I don't want to arrest my two best leaders."
Katalina and Daichi shoot up and stand in their chairs. "Arrest!?"
Lucien motions for them to sit back down. "Compose yourselves! I'm not Arresting you. But I am suspending you both and taking away your professional ID's until your ready to be a part of this crew!"
They both look at him in disbelief.
"Give me your badges. I don't want to argue anymore."
Daichi slams his badge on the desk, sneers at him and stomps toward the door.
"Oh and Daichi." Lucien says, stopping Daichi in his tracks.
"As of now, Miss Vanguard will no longer be in your custody."
Daichi stands there for a few minutes fuming with anger.
His aura starts surrounding him almost instantly."What did you say?"
Nanaji hides behind Katalina, "Why is this happening!?" He whispers to himself.
