Next Gen Episode 14: Forgiveness

Forgiveness is the 14th episode of TMNT X Pokemon: Next Gen.

## Script

Panting, her legs grew tired as she kept running in the dark abyss. She wanted to stop, she wanted to just drop, but looking back she saw the creature behind her catching up. She let out a cry of desperation for help, her exhaustion was catching up to her making her stumble over her feet. She grunted when she was met with the ground. Quickly she turned herself around as she scooted away from the dark figure that was hovering over her.

???: Stay away from me!

In one swift move he caught her foot, twisting it hard enough to make her cry out. He then threw her to the side, causing her to hit something solid, even though it was a dark abyss. The pain weighed on her, mostly her injured leg, when she tried moving the pain increased making her cry out, and she looked up when seeing the shadowed man over her again. The grin she could make out wasn’t a nice one. But chilling. He grabbed both her legs violently pulling her away from the solid background, before she had a chance to react the figure's hands were on her mouth and a knife was to her neck

???: Scream and I'll kill you.

Her body trembled as she felt the blade point graze her neck, trying to stay silent she glowered at the figure, the hate boiling inside her as his hands roamed her assets. She laid her head back, gazing at the black abyss above, accepting her fate. She closed her eyes tight, trying to hold her urges of fight in her. Bemused at his actions of putting the knife away she took the chance to fight. Fight with every exhausted breath. Till something, something hard hit her. Causing her to fade, fade far away.

???: Mama? Mama why are you crying?

Karai: Huh? (wakes up) What happened? (sits up)

Glaceon: You're crying.

Karai: Crying? Me?

Litten: Yeah!

Karai: How long were you awake?

Yoshiro: About thirty minutes ago. I was making breakfast when I heard you crying, saying something about staying away?

Karai: I was uh... visited by the boogeyman.

Litten: The boogeyman? You liar! You said it wasn't real!

Karai: I did. But since I told you that, I guess he didn’t like it so he came after me. (climbs out of bed while carrying him) What breakfast you got cooking.

Yoshiro: Well someone promised me chocolate chip hot cakes.

Karai: (puts him down) I don’t remember doing no such thing. (chuckles) Come on you brat. Let’s get my spoiled boy his hot cakes.

The pout he wore instantly left getting replaced with a wide smile. He bounced up and down in glee before grabbing her hand.

Yoshiro: With chocolate chips?

Glaceon: Not sure...

Yoshiro: But you promised!

Karai sighed, knowing her and her promises, man she really should get that checked out. She knelt down to him, making him stop swinging about. She held his arms, ready to take back her promise due to him being hyper already, but that stopped her when she gazed into those big brown eyes of his, seeing just how innocent they are. Silently she remembered he wasn’t always like this, and he did his part of being a good boy, so why not? Give him the best in life. She sighed softly.

Karai: Want to learn how to make them?

Yoshiro: Yeah! Yeah!

He jumped in place. Karai chuckled at his excitement, standing she led him into the small kitchen of their apartment. She lifted him onto the counter top.

Karai: Okay my little chef. Let’s start hm?

The laughter of them both slowly faded as Karai opened her eyes, slowly she looked around seeing she was in her bed, she must of passed out hard, but wasn’t she on the roof? Wait, what time was it? She lifted herself up from the bed, seeing the time. It was late. Close to midnight. Like a mother of an eighteen year old boy, fear sunk in, all the worst scenarios started playing in her head, causing her body to move. Grabbing her robe, not caring that she was in pajamas at this point. She hurried out of her room to meet her son at the door. Surprised to see him she was even more surprised he was holding a tray of food, and her favorite drink. She looked back up at him.

Karai: Yoshiro?

Yoshiro had a look on him, the look of guilt, and the one he always carried after their fights. He wasn’t making eye contact when he offered her the tray.

Yoshiro: I found you sleeping on the roof again. I didn’t know if you ate.

Karai was hesitant for a moment before she took the tray and set it on the table nearby. She turned to him, taking his arms. She looked up at him with a small smile.

Karai: You're getting tall.

Yoshiro: (shrugs) I guess.

Karai stared at him, trying to find out what he was thinking, was he scared? Was he still upset? They used to be so close, but these days he just doesn’t tell her anything anymore.

Karai: Are you okay?

Yoshiro shook his head, staying silent his face expressing more emotion. He cleared his throat breaking away from her touch, He turned his back to her.

Yoshiro: I better go unpack. Let's go, Tiger.

Litten: Okay.

Karai watched him silently as he headed off to his room that was off to the side from hers. She desperately wanted to stop him, wanted to hug him, and just tell him all he wanted to know. But if she did that. She explained why they had to move to him, folding her arms she turned to the tray of food, he'd hate her. More than he does now. Exhaustion hit her from the endless hours of looking for her son all over town, with a small deflated sigh, she took the tray into her room, setting it on the dresser. She looked up at the mirror that had pictures of memories around it. She picked the group picture of her when she was seventeen, with the turtles, April and even Mona. He father was next to her, smiling proud.

Karai: If only...

[DING DONG]

Karai: Who's coming here at this hour of night. (walks to the door and opens it) Rachael? What are you doing here? And close to midnight as well.

Rach: I want to talk to you about something. (notices tray) Ooooh~! That's a nice set! Who made it?!

Karai: Yoshiro. I taught him how to cook when he was little.

Rach: Same here! My son is a cook as well because of me. Can I have a drink?

Karai: Sure thing.

Rach steps inside and Karai closes the door. The two sat down and starts eating and drinking.

Rach: You know, Karai. We have so much in common. We're both kunoichis. We're both badass moms who can fight anyone who gets in the way. We raise our sons by ourselves without any man to help out!

Karai: Where are you going with this?

Rach: What I'm saying is, I have been thinking of moving out of my apartment and... maybe you could let us live here.

Karai: You want to live here with us?

Rach: Well yeah! I know this place isn't big enough for four people but I can have some of my papa's friends to rearrange the place so it could be comfortable for me and my son.

Karai: I don't know...

Rach: I'll help you pay the bills.

Karai: Deal!

Rach: Good choice. (shakes Karai's hand) This is gonna be fun! We'll be like a family! Except we're roommates but still!

Karai: Yeah. (raises cup) Here's to motherhood.

Together: Cheers! (knocks their cups by the tips and drinks)

Rach: We'll start moving here early morning.

Karai: Right.

### Lair

#### Donnie's Lab

Irrilia: Can I go to bed already?

Hana: Not yet. I'm almost done.

Charmander: Hana it’s late, your mother already told you to go to bed an hour ago, when she went to bed.

Hana: (turns to look at Irrilia) And what about Storm?! Who's gonna watch him? Plus I'm not tired. (turns back) These glasses should help you see, and you need to see as soon as possible.

Irrilia: And you need rest, you’ve been at it since the boys left. Have you even ate?

Treecko: That's true. Hana, you need rest. You can't keep yourself up at night.

Irrilia: Hana! Are you even listening?!

Hana: I am listening!

Irrilia: You haven't ate didn't you?

Hana: (sighs) I'll eat! Yes! (stands up) Anyway, unwrap the bandages.

She constructed, as she turned on the glasses, looking up she saw Irrilia's eyes exposed, the lime green color of Irrilia's that she got from her father's was pale, like a whitish green color. The mark in between Irrilia's eyes was cleaned up, it didn't look as bad as it did a few days ago. It was light red and on the edges had black scabbing. It was just beginning to heal.

Hana: Did you clean your wound?

Irrilia: My dad did, you would of noticed if you hadn’t of locked yourself in here.

Her vision slowly came to in phases. Blurry, murky, and fuzzy. Like having glasses that weren’t prescribed for your eyes.

Irrilia: I don’t think these work. All I see is blurriness.

Treecko: Try blinking.

Irrilia did so numerous times, with each blink her vision increased. It was taking its time but it was better than the constant pitch black, Irrilia thought. Eventually after a few minutes of blinking Irrilia's eye sight came into play. The light was harsh to her eyes as they adjusted, being in the dark for that long really did a toll. It wasn’t that long but to Irrilia, it felt like forever.

Hana: So?

Irrilia: You look like hell.

The comment would of made Hana angry normally, that or emotional, but at this point it just sent her into pure excitement.

Hana: They worked?!

Treecko: Like really work?!

Irrilia: Yes! It really works!

Charmander: All right!

Hana: Perfect. I should tell my dad about this.

Irrilia: Hana, you could tell him in the morning. Come on, you need some sleep.

Hana: Alright. But I'm going to the bathroom real quick.

Irrilia: Okay but if I don't see you by the time I check your room, I'm gonna tell April and Donnie about this.

Hana: Don't worry! I'm gonna go to bed! (goes to the bathroom and closes it)

Irrilia: (sighs)

#### Bathroom

She closed the door, setting the items down on the sink before plopping herself on the toilet.

Hana: (sighs) Poor Storm... He had to sacrificed himself to protect Catalina. I bet she's having a hard time more then me.

The thought made her widen her eyes and cover her personal area as if the two men were with her in this very room right now, even though they're not. They're in the dojo tied up as Dani was able to capture them before they got away, being watched by her uncles. Being into her own world the knock from the bathroom door scared her right out of it, snapping back to reality. She gasped, hugging herself.

Hana: Jeez... Why can't I get that out of mind? (stands up) You know what? I'll just take a shower. That's what I'll do. Take a shower. (turns on the water) Huh? W-Who is it?!

Instead of an answer behind the door, it swung open, making Hana turn. Setting a hand on her patched up wound, wincing at the painful movement. She stood stiff when she saw a shadowed figure standing in the doorway, Hana squinted when the lights came on, letting her eyes adjust. Her body grew tensed at the sight of her mother.

Hana: Mom? I thought you went to bed.

April: I thought I did to. But when your--- When you get older you gotta pee a lot. That's what I was about to say.

April quickly recovered with a snort. She scratched at her messy bed head. The pair let the silent linger till her mother asked.

April: Can I use the bathroom?

Hana: R-Right.

She turned off the shower and passed her mom as normal as she could without flinching at the baring pain, she got outside of the door and closed it. She leaned against the door. She hugged herself as her eyes shifted up to the dojo entry. It took a few moments of debating in her head but finally she forced herself to go to the dojo, she climbed the steps taking her time. Standing in the doorway she saw the two men tied up in the corner. Raphael and Leo on each side of them. She kept next to the doorway, only half of her face exposed.

Raph: Look, can we just kill them already?!

Leo: No Raphael. We must be patient.

Flareon: Patient?! Bullshit! These two deserve to be shot just like they did to Storm! Good thing Dani was there to catch them before they get away.

Vaporeon: Pyro, there's a reason why we can't kill them now. If we do that, we'll never see Remy again. Besides, Leo says he's in the underground but we don't know what it means!

Raph: Remy has nothing to do with this! Maybe these two really don't have a clue where he could be!

Leo: My son has everything to do with this Raphael! These two know where he is, I can feel it---

Raph: Oh you can feel it huh?! Just like you felt something was wrong before Rach's son got shot on the shoulder! Come on! We should just kill these two assholes and get it over with!

Vaporeon: Violence isn't the answer to everything! You should've known that a long time ago, Raph!

Flareon: Well we don't wanna change our ways! These two won't tell us anything! You can't keep them down here forever! We should kill them and put their bodies somewhere where nobody won't see them again!

Vaporeon: We forbid it!

Hana: Uncle Leo, Uncle Raph, stop fighting! (tears forming) It's my fault that this happened! All of it...

Her voice grew strained, her emotions were slowly driving her, weighing on her, her legs felt weak so suddenly, her chest hurt.

Raph: Hana...

Flareon: Don't cry...

Hana knew she couldn't hold it in. She knew how weak she was. As much as she hated crying in front of her family, the thought of her cousin dying, due to her stupidity. Her hands covered her face as she felt her legs buckle. She collapsed onto the floor, hearing herself starting to cry, first it started silent and slowly it progressed.

Vaporeon: Hey, hey. It wasn't your fault.

Hana: But it is. (sobs) I should be the one to get shot. Not him.

Vaporeon: Don't say that.

Raph and Pyro left his spot, passing by her, he was out of the dojo. Leo looked confused at first as he looked after his brother before he went to Hana.

Leo: Just breathe for us. None of this isn't your fault.

Hana: How do you know?!

Vaporeon: Because Ritsu told us Lina was going through the same self-blaming you are right now.

Hana: He did?

Leo: Well yeah. She was blaming herself but had stopped now. And you should too.

She covered half of her face with one shaky hand, as she held herself up with the other, sitting on her legs. She didn't hear Leo through the crying she was doing, she felt his hands leave her, making her feel cold like ice though it lasted for seconds before she felt arms around her. She removed her hand slowly, surprised to see her mother holding her.

Hana: M-Mom?

She felt her mom's fingers run through her hair, April stayed silent for a moment, before she pulled away a little to look at her daughter. She looked at Hana with sorrowful eyes, Hana felt her mom's hands holding her face. The pair kept their gazes till Hana tore away, her face feeling hot. April tucked a strand of hair behind Hana's ear before taking her hand.

April: Let's go to the bathroom to clean you up.

Vaporeon: I see... Raph and Pyro must've gotten April.

Leo: One smart bro.

Hana noticed her crying had been stopped in that moment, was it her mom's sudden presence? Hana let her mother coax her onto her feet, April led her to the bathroom, in the process Hana noticed her aunts and uncles were there, even Irrilia. Great. The embarrassment drowned Hana, causing the girl's face to get really hot again. Once in the bathroom, April sat Hana onto the toilet after closing the door. Hana silently watched her mother get a rag, putting it under some cold water. Her mom knelt in front of Hana, and started washing the teen's face. April cleaned Hana in silence till Hana cleared her throat

Hana: Did you hear me?

April: No but Raphael did. Next to your dad he knew I was the obvious choice. (as she grabs first aid) So you really think it's your fault that Storm got shot?

Hana: Well yeah. I was the one who invited him and Catalina to go after Yoshi...

April: Oh please. It's not your fault of being a normal teenager. I was like you when I was in your age. I tried to have a normal life while secretly helping your dad and uncles to fight the Kraang, the Foot, everything you could imagine. And was it tough? Oh yeah it is! But I learn to suck it up and deal with it.

Hana: And have you ever blame yourself for something?

April: (as she takes care of Hana) Oh yeah. I remember this one time when we were back in my family's farmhouse. After we defeat the Dream Beavers, I stayed away from your father because he had died for a few seconds. He was fine but I blame myself for not helping him. I ignored him for days until that one night.

### Flashback Begins

#### Night

##### April's Bedroom

April: (crying)

Donnie: (opens the door) April? (walks in and closes the door) Is something wrong?

April: (looks up while tears are coming down from her eyes) It's nothing! Just go and leave me alone!

Donnie: Not in this state I'm not. (sits down on the bed) I've noticed you have been ignoring me and avoiding me for days now and I'm really worried about you.

April: So?! Just leave already! It's my fault that I let you die when you were being infected by the Dream Beavers! (voice cracks) I was so scared that you might die for real and (sobs) I couldn't do anything to help you! (sobs) I'm sorry, Donnie! (hugs him tightly) I'm really sorry! (repeating "I'm sorry" multiple times as tears drips from her face)

Donnie: April, calm down. Look at me. (April looks at him) This isn't your fault. You did help me. You helped me find out I was dreaming. You called to me twice to wake up. I know you won't believe me but-

April interrupts him by kissing him on the lips. He plopped backwards as she gets on top of him.

April: Take my virginity, Donnie. I can't take it anymore.

The two make out.

#### Next Day

Donnie: (open his eyes) What happened last night? I was talking to April and... (realizes) April. (uncovers the blanket to see her completely naked) What did we do last night?

### Flashback Ends

Hana: Wait, you had sex with him?!

April: Don't say that! I was in the moment at that time! I didn't know better!

Hana: I can't believe this. My dad took your virginity away because you blame yourself of the Dream Beavers incident. This is amazing! You didn't tell me that!

April: And I have a good reason for it. We promise not to tell anyone and still nobody knows about it.

Hana: Oh really.

April: Yes. I know I know. I should've wait until we're married but still.

Hana: I wish I could've record this.

April: And I wish you could've keep your mouth shut. Now you have to promise *me* you don't tell anyone.

Hana: I can blackmail you if I don't get what I want.

April: That won't happen.

Hana: Still gonna use it though.

April: (sighs) (thinking) I knew I should've told her that. Donatello is gonna be pissed when I tell him this. But on the other hand, I should just keep it to myself and make sure Hana doesn't tell him or anybody else. Jeez... Could my life be anymore complicated?

She looked away and lifted her arms, letting her assets go. Her mother hesitated before continuing what she was doing. Hana kept silent feeling her mom's touch, grazes, remembering those men.

Hana: Mom, is it okay if I can sleep with you tonight?

The question lingered in the air as Hana watched her mom pause in the midst of packing stuff up. April looked over to Hana with a questioning look, making Hana nervous. She snorted a little.

Hana: Sorry, that was a bad joke. Forget about what I ask you.

April: Okay?

Hana forced a smile on her face, hoping to let her mom know she was okay. April rested a hand on Hana's knee.

April: Hana, it'll be okay. I promise.

Hana: Mom...

Hana looked up at her mom, seeing how wry her face was she decided against it. She forced a smile on her face.

Hana: You should go to bed.

April: You should go to bed too, my dear. You need to rest up.

Hana: I know. I'll lay down.

April: I'll tuck you in like I did when you were little.

Hana: Okay, mommy. (hugs her) That'll be nice.

April: Good to hear. (chuckles)

#### Dojo

Leo: (gasps) Remy! Huh?

He looked around to see the dojo, to see that was a dream, that was a dream? He didnt even know that he had fallen asleep. He yawned a bit as he slowly got to his feet. What time was it? Leo rubbed his head, and looked over to the men that were still tied up, and Raph right next to them snoring away. He shook his head, wondering how he fell asleep in the first place. He silently made his way out of the dojo in search for his wife, after quick searches in the kitchen, living room, lab and even bathroom he finally approached the bedrooms, maybe she was in bed already. He thought, he stopped at his sons room when he saw the dim light was on. Something inside him skip, was Remy home? Did he find his way back? Those thoughts sent Leo into the room in a split second, for a second he thought his son was really there, but when the mutant turned around pain struck his chest at the sight of his niece.

Leo: I-Irrilia?

Irrilia: Sorry, I was trying to find something.

Leo: Oh I see.

Leo silently sighed as he looked away, taking in his sons untouched things. Looking at the desk his son usually is at most times an image of Remy appeared in the chair, sitting in the position his father always finds his son in. The image didn't last long. It came then faded.

Charmander: You miss him, don't you?

Leo's eyes shifted onto the mutant girl. She adjusted the glasses she had on, wait when did she get those? Leo stayed quiet as he took a spot on his sons bed, hunching over with his elbows on his knees.

Irrilia: Of course you miss him, I mean he's your son of course. So it's natural for parents to worry about their child or children's safety. And they'll do anything to protect their kids from any kind of danger.

Leo: What are you looking for?

Irrilia: Anything that can give me clues? I know its far fetch, and I was about to leave. But I kinda found some old photos that Remy apparently took and hid. I got distracted.

Leo took it from her, staring at her with a risen brow, before opening the book to a page where there were photos of the three as babies, and some others with three as kids. Silently he flipped to the next page to see recent photos, he paused at what he was doing when he saw his son had blacked out Irrilia's face on at least three, the others had her with horns and a mustache like Satan. Wow. He closed the book and put it to the side.

Leo: Irrilia...

Irrilia: Yes?

Leo: Tell me what happened that got him kidnapped. You must know something.

Irrilia: Are you...?

Leo: I won't be mad. I promise.

Irrilia: (sighs) Well, we had a fight, and he ran off. (as she plays with her tail) I lost him through the people but found him in an ally. I mean soon after.

Leo: So you lost him?

Charmander: We did...

She let go of her tail, balling her hands into fists.

Irrilia: I knew you two were just saying that!

Leo: Irrilia wait! It's not...!

Irrilia: It's exactly what it is! Look I'm sorry I lost your kid, I was trying to find another kid I was responsible for, so get off your high horse already, your not the only one who lost a kid! I'm doing the best I can! I don't see you two doing squat!

Leo: Calm down. We don't know where he could be. These men are gonna tell us where this "underground" is whether they like it or not!

Irrilia: They're gonna lie to you about it! And how do you know about the "underground"?!

Leo: Remy talked to me himself!

Charmander: Wait what?

Liz: It's true! Enough of this yelling! Please go to bed! I need my sleep!

Irrilia growls and heads back to her room.

[SLAM]

Liz: (sighs) What happened here?

Leo: No, just the way he is now, it was my fault. (looks away) I should of made him train, I should of been on him more, I should of--- I should of been more of a father...

Liz: Leonardo, you're already a good father. Along with being a good leader and a good husband and of course being an awesome uncle and a great brother. Stop doubting yourself, beating yourself up will not bring us Remy. I knew from the moment you found me I was with you till the end, it's not the end yet, and I won't let you give up.

Leo: But...

Liz: No buts, Leo!

### Irrilia

Irrilia was in her warm vent where she goes to hide from the world. Not many people were allowed to come up unless it was her dad or Hana. She used the built in flashlight that had came with the glasses she was now required to wear. Though to her they felt like those annoying goggles Donnie made her wear when they did labs. She sighed staring at the book she was trying to read. To her dismay she couldn't concentrate on the book, her only thoughts were about the fight she had with Leo earlier. She put the book away, hugging her legs to her chest, her eyes on the opening that led down to her room. Maybe she could go alone, after Remy, if she got him back by herself, then maybe Leo and Liz would finally accept her again. The more she sat there in sheer silence the idea became more intriguing. She narrowed her eyes, something inside her made something kick in, adrenaline? determination? She didn't know all she knew that she couldn't waste anymore time. She quickly made her way out of the vent. She grabbed her poncho and a bag throwing it on her bed. She needed to do this, she was the leader, she was responsible. Its her go this time. Its hers. She placed her phone in her bag, along with some hidden ninja weapons in her closet, packing whatever she could get her hands on. She wrapped her skirt around her waist, shoving on her poncho and placing her glasses back on. She placed her sword into her holder that she had wrapped around her waist. She hoisted her bag over her shoulder and started for the door but stopped when a through drew upon her. She turned to the vent, sucking in a breath she nodded to herself and climbed the latter. She kicked the ladder down, closing up the vent after turning on the small led lights. She looked side to side, but didn't give her the time to think about which direction she took. She started forward on all fours, passing the other bedrooms along the way. She stopped for a moment when she caught sight of her younger cousin in her bed, snuggling up against April. She frowned, laying her hand on the vent. Despair slowly crept up inside her she noticed it quickly and as fast as it came, it went. She shook her feelings and turning for interaction with her mother aside. Not the time, she reminded herself. She continued on through the vents until she got to an opening that led into the sewers. She frowned at the vent door that was screwed into the walls. She rummaged through her bag, taking out a knife. She spent a few minutes picking at the screws till they came out one by one. With a hard kick the lid fell open. She scooted herself to in the hole. Looking down to see it was a long drop.

Irrilia: Great. This is gonna be a long fall.

She smirked when she saw a pipe nearby. She leaned forward, reaching her arm out, losing her balance a bit, flailing she quickly grabbed the edge of the opening, clinging to it for dear life. She panted a bit at her close call, looking down at the height. Seeing how high up she was.

Charmander: Those walls are huge!

Irrilia: Not for long.

She leaned back against the vent wall, setting her bag and sword holder next to her. She stayed there for what felt like an hour, though when she looked at her phone she found herself being there for only five minutes. She growled at her coward ways. She's the daughter of a deranged dare devil and a military brat. Why was she being this weak? She sat up, grabbing her bag. A smile drew on her face when she found she brought a homemade grappling hook that was just a perfect fit to hitch in her bag.

Irrilia: Thank you Hana! (glares) Thanks Hana...

She shoved the thing back in her bag, putting it over her shoulder as she took a long look down, she leaned forward more and more till suddenly she felt herself falling out of the safety of the vent. She let out a scream and a loud yelp as she felt the connections of her butt against the concrete walk. She fell back onto her back with a grunt. Her body felt stiff, paralyzed, moments passed by as she kept staring at the ceiling. Slowly she forced herself to sit up, it wasn't easy, her body felt heady. Oh she thank god for her father's stupid plastron he cursed her with cause that would of hurt more if she had the honkers her younger cousin does. Eventually she got to her feet, dusting herself off before grabbing her bag and adjusting her holder that laid on her hip. She threw the bag over her shoulder, looking up from the trip she went on. She frowned.

Charmander: That landing was a butt bruiser right?

Irrilia: Exactly. Such a pain in the ass...

She soon reached a ladder that led up to the surface. With slight hesitation she looked back at to the path she covered, maybe she should go back. Her father will be furious. Though remembering what Leo had said, and what Remy had said. She looked up at the ladder. She narrowed her eyes. This family wont be shit for long. She was met with the man hole cover when she suddenly heard voices echoing through the tunnels. She had her hands against the manhole cover, was ready to go up there, but the voices made her sit back. When she turned on the ladder she saw the shadows of the figures coming, it seemed to be four? She jumped off the ladder and hurried across the way into a tunnel, crouching down. He heard a male voice let out some cries.

Man: What was that?!

Woman: You're being paranoid! You sound like those two quacks that we are trying to find.

Man: Jim and Bill don't deserve to be found! They're slackers!

There were four, two men, two women, an old man with a white beard, a woman with blond hair tied up in a braid, another woman who had red short hair, and the other man looked younger then all of them, maybe in his twenties. Irrilia quickly pulled back when she saw one was turning into her direction. She grabbed onto her strap as she saw the people in front of the opening she was in. She covered her mouth to keep her from saying anything.

Woman: They should have come back to base by now.

Woman 2: Unless they were drunk again and got lost on the way here.

Woman: I don't think we can look much longer, the mistress is already upset.

Man 2: I don't know why she takes interest in that mutant anyways, he's nothing but a punk.

Woman: I have my reasons! And besides, there are mutants everywhere in the city! And I do mean everywhere!

Woman 2: And what was with that stupid scarf? To be honest I thought he was a girl when he first arrived.

Man: Really? His name is Remy. That's a male name.

Woman 2: I didn't know that! You should've told me, idiot!

Man: Whatever...

The sound of Remy's name made Irrilia snap, Remy? Remy? Was all she could repeat but the sight of the four turning the corner made her stand and hurry after them, but she knew better to make herself known. She will follow in the shadows. Thats just what she did, after three turns in the sewers they decided to go down some stairs. As Irrilia kept tabs on them, she noticed she never seen this side of the sewers before, which was odd. As kids her, Remy, and Hana were all over these sewers so why was she seeing this just now? She made her way down the stairs, her back against the wall. She stopped when the four were at a door, a door? to what? When it opened and they made their way in Irrilia wasted no time, she made it in at the last second before the door closed. She silently followed the four into a big open space, that was lit up, it looked like a mine field. She scanned the place, seeing the chandeliers, she never seen such stuff only on TV. She quickly snapped out of her admiration, looking for the people that were ahead of her, she spotted the four going down a small hill against the edge, that led to a white building. Remy? Was Remy in that building? On her way down she noticed mutants roaming around, tents were up, it looked like a market place down there. Her eyes shifted over to the people who were going inside the building, still unaware of her presence. She took that chance to crouch down getting next to the building. Peeping through the windows she saw a lady in white, she had light blond hair, like white. She stood when the four had entered. The woman in white looked upset as the old man was talking. The other three were standing close to the old man, more like behind the old man. Irrilia couldn't make out why the woman was so man, or what was going on, but she could see Remy's scarf hanging up on the wall, and his weapon was on the dresser that was next to her desk. Irrilia frowned, she needed to find out more. She debated on leaving to get her parents but decided against it once the four had exited, leaving the white haired woman alone. She looked old enough maybe Irrilia can ambush her but Irrilia didn't have to, the white haired woman got up and headed out of the building, Irrilia made her way in front of the building quickly, seeing the door about to close she used her sword to stop it. When she saw the lady in white was far away out of reach Irrilia made her way inside. She closed and locked it, though it was probably useless since the woman could have a key. She hurried over to where the scarf was and the weapon. She stuffed them both in her bag, and was about to hurry off to find out if Remy was really here when her eyes caught sight of a file cabinet, and a draw with a label that said mutants. What? She frowned, looking over to the door making sure no one was coming in, thankfully the lady was stupid enough to leave it cracked. Thank god. Irrilia pulled open the draw seeing organized files alphabetical order.

Irrilia: What the hell?

Charmander: Koji? Wait Koji's alive?

Irrilia: That's impossible... It can't be...

She closed the file and stashed it in her bag. She looked for Remy's file, it wasn't here though, frowning she went to the desk to see the woman had been working on it.

Charmander: So he is here... Perfect. Now we can take it with us and that should lead us straight to him.

Irrilia: Right.

Woman: Hey!

Irrilia: Love to chat but I got a date! And I don't want to miss my date!

Though she jerked back when the guy got her by her bag. She struggled from the man, grabbing her sword she swung it into the man's arm enough to let her go following the cries. She started twirling her sword keeping people away from her as she hurried up the walk.

Woman 2: After her you idiots! Don't let her get away!

Charmander: They're gaining at us!

Irrilia looked over her shoulder to see two men coming after her. She has to pick up the pace. She huffed as she got to the top next to the entrance. She grabbed a smoke bomb and threw it at the two men, having them blinded. She let out her sword, swinging into the men causing the two to fall. She shoved her sword into her holder, holding onto her bag as she quickly hurried out of the place till she got to the closed door. She looked for a way to get the two doors to open but she saw no level, nothing. She turned to the men who had guns pointed at her. The woman in white was approaching her.

Woman: You really are stupid aren't you, mutant? Thinking you can get away with this

Irrilia and Charmander: (growling)

Woman: You will learn not to invade other people's property you mutant.

Irrilia: Where is my cousin you witch?!

Woman: Oh yes Your apart of Koji's family hm?

Charmander: What? You...

Woman: ...know him? Of course, We've been on his tail for about ten to eleven years now.

Irrilia: What's your game old lady? What did mutants do to you?

In a flash Irrilia's sword was out of her hands and up in the air, her throat engaged by the woman's bony hand. Irrilia gasped as she kicked her feet, looking at the woman. Trying to grasp what just happened.

Woman: You mutants should of never existed, all you do is just taint up the area, and take what you want. And all of you will die by my hands. (takes out knife) Starting with you.

Before she could attack Irrilia, something appeared and knocked the knife out of her hand.

Irrilia: Huh?

???: Don't you dare hurt this girl!

Man: The hell are you?!

???: Emi Sanageyama! Daughter of Ryuko Sanageyama and Uzu Sanageyama! And I'm a Life Fibers-Infused Human! You won't be touching this mutant unless you can fight here!

Easygoing and laid-back, he likes to relax and have fun instead of training all day. He often does Kendo with his sister and it always ended up as a tie as the two always give it their all. Ryu often teases Emi at every opportunity he gets much to her dismay but he always protect her from danger during missions along with his friends.

Woman: (growling) You're gonna pay for this!

She along with the men, who have regain consciousness, runs away.

Emi: Yeah you better run! If we see your faces again you're dead!

Ryu: (puts his hand on her shoulder) Leave them be. They're not worth it.

Akumaketsu: Exactly. They're too weak to do anything about it.

**█ ▎Name :: Akumaketsu or "Sissel**

**█ ▎Gender :: Male**

**█ ▎Age :: 17**

**█ ▎Height :: 5'11" or 180cm**

**█ ▎Weight :: 140lbs.**

**█ ▎Club :: Ikebana Club**

**█ ▎Personality ::**

**▎Sadistic :: Sissel is somewhat sadistic in where he loves seeing other people suffer. Including his friends. Well, to a point, because he obviously would not enjoy seeing one of his greatest teasing toy to be in a funk because someone important to them got in an accident. But just know, the next time you prick you finger with a knife by accident... he's going to watch. And he'll enjoy it.**

**▎Sarcastic :: Though not necessarily in cruel manner, Sissel likes to use sarcasm because it adds to his rude personality. He doesn't use it too offensively, but just enough to be that kind of jackass. Y'know. The one that you just gotta silently hate. Or loudly. Both's fine.**

**▎Humorous :: Sissel likes making jokes, but they're not always the cool kinda jokes. Most of the time they're lame. But he still likes being a little humorous as it adds to the excitement in his life.**

**▎❝What'dya say?❞ :: When Sissel hears things he basically dislikes or anything he just doesn't want to hear, he pretends not to hear it.**

**▎Nonchalant :: Sissel is nonchalant when not around others or is bored, which is probably when he's not making something suffer. There are also some other times when he is around people and acts nonchalant as a quirk to sometimes piss some other people off.**

**▎Rude :: Sissel is absolutely bored with peace and happiness. He needs a little anarchy and craziness, and if there isn't any being caused by someone or something else, he's gotta be the one to cause it... and that's where his rudeness comes in.**

**▎Loves teasing :: Sissel loves teasing others, from touching their hair to poking them to even carrying people around bridal-style. He also seems to have very little knowledge on personal space.**

**▎Worrywart :: Though he doesn't seem like it, he actually tends to over think things and worries a lot, especially about other people.**

**▎Looks like that fluffy hair isn't just for show... :: Sissel is stupid. He gets the worst grades, can hardly calculate simple numbers and whenever he tries to correct someone, he ends up being the one wrong. It's like his head is just one fluff ball.**

**█ ▎Additional Information ::**

**▎On vacations (hah... what are vacations... obviously high school never has vacations .\_.) and things of the sort, Sissel goes to visit his old master.**

**▎Sissel actually has a secret love for stuffed animals and you may find his room filled with them. They are all named.**

**▎At times, Sissel pretends to be tsundere. Though he probably isn't pretending...**

**▎Sissel likes sleeping and taking naps. Sometimes he does it during random periods of the day; he is an insomniac and can't help it if he falls asleep.**

**▎Sissel is allergic to penguins.**
