Chapter 5
Revolver wanders around Link Vrains for a little while longer, thinking of how he could of ended up in anime world of Vrains. Another thought crossed his mind and he looks up to the sky.
'Could she be here...?'
Unknown to Revolver she is indeed there, but not under the best of circumstances. Every few hours Varis would have Specter drag Shingetsu out her cell, most of the time she's barley conscious and can barely stand. Varis demands that she brings Playmaker's Ignis to him but she refuses, causing Varis to lightly brush his fingertips across her temples. Seeing how his simple touch hurts her, which he still didn't understand why nor does he really care at this point. She cries out in pain at his touch and tries weakly to get away from him. But she's held in place by Specter.
"I'll do this as many times as I have to girl." Varis says frustratedly.
"Then I guess you'll just-" Shingetsu passes out in mid-sentence due to her weak mental state, falling back into Specter's arms.
All Varis can do is sigh and wait for her to regain consciousness again. She's taken back to her cell and they log out of Link Vrains for now since they have things in the real world they must attend to. But Varis tries to keep an eye on Revolver but real world duties keep him preoccupied.
'It doesn't hurt to look but let's just hope no one's there, I don't feel like explaining anything,' Revolver thinks to himself going to the Hanoi base within Link Vrains.
He appears in what looks like a dark circuit room, there's only a small glow of the off screens for light. Revolver looks around to make sure no one is there before looking around the base farther.
"So far so good. No one's here," he says to himself, keeping an eye out for anyone.
As Revolver is looking around, something, or rather someone, catches his attention. He turns his head to see what caught his eye only to be faced with a cell with his dearly believed friend laying on the floor. He doesn't think and just acts opening the cell door and quickly going to her side. He doesn't know it, but he's triggered a silent alarm which alerts both Specter and Varis as soon as it goes off
"Oh Shing, what have they done to you...?" He whispers quietly and gently takes her into his arms. He does a force log out, careful not to leave a trace of himself behind, or so he thinks.
Specter and Varis race back to Link Vrains, but by the time they get there, Revolver is long gone. He's back in the real world as Ryoken Kogami with his beloved friend in his arms.
"Specter find out who was here!" He orders as he goes to see if his captive is still somewhere on Link Vrains.
"Right away sir!" Specter says and gets straight to work on trying to find who snuck in.
Night slowly falls over Den City. Ryoken sticks to the shadows, so he doesn't catch Yusaku or the Hanoi's attention. He looks around for a place to hide and comes across a hotel.
"I guess this will have to do." He sighs and goes into the hotel and to the front desk.
The woman behind the decks give him a slightly strange look when she sees the unconscious girl in his arms. Ryoken is quick to put the teller's worries at ease, saying that his friend is just tired from site seeing. The teller lets this slide as a reasonable explanation, and Ryoken pays for a room with a credit card. The teller hands him the key to the room and he takes it thanking the woman. He goes up to room 218, he opens the door and looks around. The room is mostly plain, but this didn't bother him. He walks into the room shutting the door behind him.
He lays his beloved friend down gently on the bed and covers her with a blanket. He stays beside her for a while, hoping that she'll regain consciousness.
While in Link Vrains, Varis is pissed. Not only is his captive gone but Specter can't seem to find who took her.
"You're sure she didn't log out Specter?" Varis says annoyed.
"I'm positive sir. When we left she was still unconscious," Specter says, still trying to find out how Shingetsu could have gotten away.
It's been hours in the real world and Shingetsu still hasn't woken up. Ryokan is growing more concerned and thinks about taking her to a hospital. But he sighs and gets up, going out to a balcony that overlooks the city. He looks out over the lit-up city and slips his phone out of his pocket to call home.
"Ryoken where have you been? It's been hours since you went into Link Vrains," Vegeta says, he's worried that Ryoken disappeared.
"I have good news and bad news what do you want to hear first?" Ryoken said calmly, though there's a hint of worry in his voice.
"The good news."
"Good news is I found her, bad news is I'm stuck in the anime world of Vrains and she's unconscious. I don't know what happened to her, I found her at the Hanoi base on Link Vrains."
"Does she have any physical injuries?"
"None that I can see, she's still unconscious though. Should I take her to a hospital to have her checked out?"
"No, they might point the finger at you and think you did this. But if she doesn't regain consciousness within 24 to 48 hours then I'd say take her."
From within the room someone lets out a small groan as they come to. They open their eyes; their vision is blurred but slowly clears. They sit up to look around the room but they must have sat up too quickly as they let out a whimper of pain. This whimper catches Ryoken's attention and he quickly gets off the phone with Vegeta. He turns around to look into the room to see his friend finally awake but in pain.
"I'm so glad you're awake," he says with relief and quickly goes and sits beside her. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm not helping you catch that Ignis Varis," she says with a bit of spite. She's in unbearable pain, but she tries her best not to show it. She doesn't knows that this is her dear friend Revolver and tries to move away from him.
"Shing, it's me. Revolver." He looks at her worriedly and gently takes her hand.
She glances down at his hand on hers, her bangs falling into her face. She doesn't say anything. Ryoken fears that his beloved friend no longer remembers him.
"Do you... not remember me?" He whispers, gently using his hand to move her bangs out of the way so he can see her face.
Instead of feeling pain from Ryoken's touch she feels relief and gently leans into his touch.
"So it really is you... Ryoken." She whispers and moves closer to him.
"We've been so worried about you, you've been missing for six and half years." He gently wraps his arms around her, holding her close.
Shingetsu explains what happened, leaving the crystal world out of her explanation of course; she still didn't want anyone to find that place. She tells him about all the painful experiments done to her, but in the middle of explaining this to him she lets out a pain-filled whimper.
"What's wrong?" Ryoken asks with worry and fear in his voice.
"My head hurts, it because of the experiments." She says through the pain, leaning against Ryoken for support.
"I'll try my best to help relieve the pain," he whispers into her ear softly, gently rubbing her temples.
She relaxes against him as her pain slowly disappears. Ryoken notices how she immediately relaxed at his touch but that doesn't ease his worries. He gently runs a hand through her hair to add to the now calming atmosphere, causing the girl in his arms to sigh in slight content.
