The Story of Saitonia 3rd Arc: Episode 29 (101): The Memories We Have

(Aino attempts to test the ATD by accessing the memories of her friends, traveling at a specifc year in their life. She starts with [b]Himeki[/b].) [b]Ainotias:[/b] What's that one, fateful day that forever haunts you? [b]Himeki:[/b] Well...you've heard me talk about my mother's assassination in 2010. [b]Ainotias:[/b] *gives the ATD to [b]Himeki[/b]* Just set the date, girl. *She inputs "May 29th, 2010, 3:19 P.M." on the device.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Just push the ends together. *[b]Himeki[/b] pushes the ends of the device together, and they travel at that exact time.* _______________________________________ [b][u]*Cliche-ass opening theme plays*[/u][/b] _______________________________________ *They're somehow still inside the mansion, but it's inhabited by some family. This shocks Aino, but luckily, they can't be seen.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Uhhh, what the hell?! [b]Himeki:[/b] It looks like they can't even see us. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Ohhh...yeah. You remember where? [b]Himeki:[/b] *very surely* Yes. Just south of [b]Alivydia[/b] Forest, there was a gathering between some of my mother's friends at a fountain, just to...well, spend time. *The 2 exit the mansion and head to the fountain.* _______________________________________ (They arrive near the fountain several minutes later. They can see it far off in the distance.) [b]Himeki:[/b] I was running pretty late. My younger self should appear on this one path and- *sees her 20-year-old self walking on a path to the fountain* Oh, there I go! *20-year-old [b]Himeki[/b] is dressed in a similar outfit to her current one, but her shirt is white, has gray pants, and small black boots.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] You barely changed a bit. You still have that long lavender hair. [b]Himeki:[/b] *giggles* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Sh[b]i[/b]t. I was gonna ask why we couldn't head to the fountain to try and stop your mother from getting killed, but we can't. [b]Himeki:[/b] *sighs in sorrow* Yeah. (At the fountain, [b]Himeki[/b]'s mother, accompanied by 8 of her friends, 5 male, 3 female. They're all dressed in kimono-like outfits under some causal wear. They're all sitting in a circle, eating a sizeable lunch.) [b]Hinaki:[/b] *same long lavender hair, but has hazel eyes* Hehe, I hope my daughter isn't missing out on this lovely meal I've put such heart and soul into. [b]Friend 1:[/b] Oh, she'll make it. *The 2 continue to follow younger [b]Himeki[/b], but suddenly, that fateful moment happens when a gunshot-like sound fills the air.* [b]Himeki (younger):[/b] *gasps* Oh no! That sounded like it was at the fountain. *starts running, which makes the other 2 follow her* Please no, please no, please no! *The 2 follow her until she gets to the fountain. In the distance, she spots 8 people crowded together, though she can't make out who, so she starts running again. They continue until young [b]Himeki[/b] gets to the group, and looks down to see her mother's corpse, a knife-like wound through her head, blood flowing profusely from her forehead. She kneels down and sobs at the sight while one of attendants call for help.* [b]Himeki:[/b] *gets emotional as she covers her eyes and turns away* I can't bear to see this again! [b]Ainotias:[/b] *pats her shoulder* Hey hey, look, there's the assassin. *points up at someone* *[b]Himeki[/b] uncovers her eyes and looks up at a building by the fountain, revealing that [b]Deminova[/b] was responsible. He slowly backs away from view.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] We've seen him before. He's that dangerous threat a few weeks back. *turns to her right and hugs [b]Himeki[/b] from behind* I'm honestly really sorry...really sorry, for you to witness this again. [b]Himeki:[/b] *teary-eyed* It's--it's fine...at least I know who the assassin is. *sighs* Let's go back. *The 2 travel back to the current year and return to the mansion.* _______________________________________ (Present Time) *Aino and [b]Himeki[/b] are transported to the current year. Everyone turns to look at them. [b]Kasaro[/b] notices a gloomy expression in [b]Himeki[/b]'s face, and walks over and hugs her.* [b]Kasaro:[/b] Aino, you must've transported her to that day she doesn't want to bring up. *turns to Aino* Did you see who was responsible? [b]Ainotias:[/b] That robotic [b]obliterator[/b] we've encountered a few weeks back. Probably one of [b]Terranova[/b]'s. [b]Kasaro:[/b] I think I partially remember how they looked. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Anyone else? [b]Vandren:[/b] *stands up and walks to her* Try me. [b]Ainotias:[/b] You [b]Vandren[/b]? [b]Vandren:[/b] Hell yeah. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Let's head outside. _______________________________________ (Outside the mansion) [b]Ainotias:[/b] What's the date? [b]Vandren:[/b] June 5th, 2013. I had a bit of an altercation with a girl I don't want to mention. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Is it Kav? [b]Vandren:[/b] What?! No! Someone worse. Lemme set the date. *Aino hands the device to Van and he sets it to "June 5th, 2013, 5:50 P.M.".* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Push the ends together. *Van pushes the ends together and they are transported to the set date.* _______________________________________ (June 5th, 2013) *The 2 have made it to this exact date.* [b]Vandren:[/b] It all went down in [b]Sakrisen[/b], by [b]Lideos[/b] Street, west. *They head to [b]Lideos[/b] Street in west [b]Sakrisen[/b]. By an alleyway, they spot 2 girls along with [b]Asako[/b], the girl that Van fears mentioning. Aino and Van turn their heads to the right to see younger Van, accompanied by 2 guys. They're meeting up with the 3 girls, possibly to have a little chat.* [b]Vandren:[/b] That b[b]i[/b]tch with the dark blue hair. [b]Ainotias:[/b] What about her? [b]Vandren:[/b] You'll see. *Younger Van the 2 guys approach the 3 girls.* [b]???:[/b] *Caucasian male, yellow eyes, medium, brown hair with a sunny orange streak. Gray jacket over a gray, tucked-in dress shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots.* Apologize to her, Tommy. [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] What?! What I got to say, [b]Taris[/b]?! [b]Taris:[/b] You know what you did to [b]Asako[/b], *shoving young Van towards her* f[b]u[/b]cking [b]a[/b]sshole. *The 3 girls emerge from the alleyway, [b]Asako[/b] actually behind the 2 girls, changing her position to look scared and like she's been abused. She slides her jacket sleeve up to reveal a cut on her right forearm that SHE actually caused to frame Van.* [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] You got it all wrong! [b]Spayde[/b], you should know how [b]Asako[/b] is; sneaky and conniving. Look at her trying to appear innocent. [b]Asako:[/b] *Japanese female, blue eyes. Long, messy, dark blue hair. Wears a dark blue jacket over a black tank top. Skinny, white jeans, and long, gray boots.* *whispers to the girls* Hey. *shows them the cut on her forearm* [b]Reádel:[/b] *Caucasian female, green eyes, long, red hair. Zipped-up, army green jacket, with a tan, short-sleeved shirt underneath. Forest green pants, and black sneakers. *gasps at the sight of the wound* That f[b]u[/b]cker. [b]Taris:[/b] *to Van* Hmmph, and that's an innocent girl you've mentally and physically shattered. *balls his fists up, gets closer to Van, and says in a more mellow, but aggressive tone* If you don't apologize, I'll make you. [b]Vandren:[/b] Aino, wait. *checks his watch and sees that it's 6:02 P.M.* Go back to 5:50. *Aino sets the time back to 5:50 and pushes the 2 ends together. Younger Van, along with the 2 guys, have vanished, but they still spot [b]Asako[/b] in the alleyway. She takes out a switchblade from her jacket pocket and slits her right forearm. She then turns around and throws the switchblade as far as she can.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] That b[b]i[/b]tch. I don't even know this woman and she already boils me. [b]Vandren:[/b] I just knew it! She slit her own forearm and made it look like I did it. Go back to 6:02. *Aino sets the time to 6:02 and transports there, continuing Van's memory.* [b]Spayde:[/b] *Caucasian male. Big, spiky gray hair and gray eyes. Wears a long, black trenchcoat over a long, gray jacket. White pants and gray boots.* Tommy, I want to believe you. I really do- [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] Then believe me! Don't be so gullible like [b]Taris[/b] here! [b]Hyoru:[/b] *Korean female. Gray-streaked medium black hair and brown eyes. Dark green scarf around her neck. Zipped-up dark blue denim jacket over a gray shirt. Slim, blue jeans, and navy blue sneakers.* You sure you want to be believed? [b][u]*Continued Below*[/u][/b]

    [b][u]*Continued Below*[/u][/b] [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] What do you mean, [b]Hyoru[/b]?! [b]Hyoru:[/b] You also cut her arm, did you not? [b]Reádel:[/b] *walking up to Van* You did, did you?! DID YOU?! *starts shoving Van continuously* [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] Hell are you talking about?! I ain't do damned sh[b]i[/b]t! *Behind [b]Hyoru[/b], [b]Asako[/b] dials 1100, which is the number of the [b]Saitranovia[/b] Police.* *As [b]Reádel[/b] continuously pushes younger Van, [b]Spayde[/b] watches shamefully. This goes on for 11 seconds.* *Younger Van has had enough. He grabs [b]Reádel[/b]'s right arm and pushes her against the wall.* [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] Get off me, alright?! Get the hell off me! *They hear an echoey siren wailing, followed by flashing blue lights. The [b]Saitranovia[/b] police have arrived.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Of course they arrive when you fight back. [b]Vandren:[/b] Yeah. Luckily some laws changed late 2015. [b]Ainotias:[/b] What was it? [b]Vandren:[/b] It was "unwritten" but now they've applied it. It's that the law can't be biased and can't favor one gender over the other in a case, unless it's for sure that said person is the perpetrator. In this situation, that redhead and the sneaky b[b]i[/b]tch are the perpetrators. You can also get sent in the cell by false accusations, which I bet Earth hasn't established yet, maybe ever. [b]Ainotias:[/b] I'm guessing blue-haired girl is the sneaky b[b]i[/b]tch and is "[b]Asako[/b]", right. [b]Vandren:[/b] *hesitantly* Yeah. *2 cops, male and female, aim their guns at younger Van. He puts his hands up.* [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] Okay, listen- [b]Cop (female):[/b] No! Get on that damn wall! *Van gets on the wall. The male cop turns him around and starts searching. Luckily, young Van doesn't have his signature switchblade on him.* [b]Spayde:[/b] Hey, uhh, I've seen everything. [b]Cop (male):[/b] Shut the hell up! I don't wanna hear anything from you! [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] I was defending myself, okay?! How do you not see it?! She started it! [b]Reádel:[/b] He's nothing but a lying punk, officers! He was touching my arm, he could've done something worse! [b]Cop (female):[/b] *to [b]Reádel[/b]* Don't worry, you're protected. [b]Vandren (younger):[/b] *getting cuffed by some futuristic-looking blue handcuffs* Sure she's protected. Y'all are refusing to listen to a thing I have to say! *The male cop starts tasing younger Van. He yells as he drops to the ground, weakening him and lowering chances for him to escape.* [b]Spayde:[/b] Listen, officers, it's not his fault! [b]Cop (male):[/b] *pulls out his pistol and aims at [b]Spayde[/b], making him back away* You'll come with him if you open your mouth again! [b]Asako:[/b] *approaching the cops* H-hey officers. [b]Cop (female):[/b] He did something to you too? [b]Asako:[/b] *reveals the cut on her forearm* In fact, yes. [b]Cop (female):[/b] Hey! That guy harmed this girl too. *[b]Asako[/b] walks to the male cop and shows her the cut.* [b]Cop (male):[/b] Why am I not surprised? *knees Van in the back and puts him in the car* [b]Taris:[/b] I told him to apologize for harming her, he kept refusing. [b]Cop (female):[/b] It's in our hands now. Try not to get into any trouble! *The female cop gets in the car with the other cop and they take off with young Van, with blue energy ropes wrapped around him from the backseat.* [b]Taris:[/b] I wonder what [b]Kavita[/b]'s gonna think. [b]Asako:[/b] She probably won't care. If she's on Tommy's side, I'll frame that b[b]i[/b]tch too. *evily chuckles* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Threatening to frame Kav if she takes your side? Gah, she really is a malicious, [b]Terranovian[/b] being. [b]Vandren:[/b] Let's go back. These horrible memories already haunted me. *The 2 go back to their current year.* _______________________________________ (Present Time) *The 2 have been transported back to the mansion.* [b]Kavita:[/b] How was the trip, Vanny boy? [b]Vandren:[/b] Tell me you weren't friends with [b]Asako[/b]. [b]Kavita:[/b] Asak-ohhhhhh, no no no. I can be pretty bad, but she was just evil. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Yep, and police brutality is no joke. *Knock on the door, Cat opens it, revealing Sai, but the [b]exterminator[/b] twins aren't with him.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Aino, how's the ATD? [b]Ainotias:[/b] Pretty essential if you're gathing info from someone's past. [b]Saitonia:[/b] You know about the [b]exterminators[/b]? [b]Sage:[/b] Yeah. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Looks like that Universal Shift brought some fraternal twins back. How? They went extinct, right? I don't even know. But we do know, maybe not all of us, is that [b]Terranova[/b] is also responsible for their extinction. I've asked them to explore [b]Saitranovia[/b] for a bit, but I don't know how long they'll last in this timeline. [b]Cathera:[/b] Let's hope they're with us when we take on his army. [b]Ainotias:[/b] For sure Cat, for sure. _______________________________________ (Nighttime hits. The twins are walking to the GB&P, but then they spot a number of hunters on the top of several buildings.) [b]Ainotias:[/b] What are they doing? What's happening? [b]Saitonia:[/b] They must be preparing for an attack or something. They could just be on the lookout. Let's head to the bar, see what [b]Pyrus[/b] wants. _______________________________________ (The twins enter the bar and spot the rest of the squad, except for Cell, Bop, Toaster, Warlock, [b]Rezyl[/b], and [b]Cmirg[/b]. They're all sitting at the countertop. [b]Janin[/b] is serving a bunch of drinks.) [b]Pyrus:[/b] *turns around, spots the twins, and signals them to join the group* AYYYY, Saiii, Ainooo, join us. *The twins walk to the squad.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] [b]Pyrus[/b]....what's with the gathering? [b]Terranova[/b] could attack us at this instant. [b]Pyrus:[/b] He COULD, but eh, at the moment, how about we have a little [b]Erasure[/b] Purple while we're at it? It's not alcoholic. *The twins see that the rest of the squad also has this "[b]Erasure[/b] Purple" drink in their own glass, glowing white at the bottom.* [b]Janin:[/b] When the time comes, you're gonna give it your all. Kick all the [b]a[/b]sses that were responsible for turning this lovely planet into a hellish dystopia. *[b]Sakiro[/b], [b]Tenerus[/b], [b]Himeki[/b], [b]Junos[/b] all chuckle.* [b]Kasaro:[/b] Damn straight! [b]Cathera:[/b] *giggles* Let's cherish this moment, guys. Cause well, this could be the last time some of us could be alive, sadly. I'd hate to say it, but I know something like that happens. I don't want any of you to die. [b]Vandren:[/b] Even me? [b]Cathera:[/b] Even you, Van. [b]Kyokia:[/b] By the [b]Arckyve[/b], you're making me cry, Cat. [b]Ainotias:[/b] *softly shakes her head* [b]Pyrus:[/b] *sniffs* What a beautiful moment we have here. But anyways, a drink to cherish the moment? *The twins each take a drink from [b]Janin[/b].* [b]Saitonia:[/b] Sure. *Everyone says "Blessings from the [b]Arckyve[/b]", then they clink their glasses together.* _______________________________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] I guess the last part is quite a beautiful moment. [spoiler][b]Erased....[/b][/spoiler]
