Chapter 90
The President stops from his tracks when he felt another presence and when turn his back to face it he was right there was another man and he couldn't remember if someone had get into their plane or maybe just one of those soldiers.
'Who are you?" he asked as soon as he learned that the man in front of him seems like not a soldier. He looks like just not an ordinary man.
The man in front of him walks slowly until they were just one meter away from each other. The man raised his hand for him to shake and the President just looked at him bewildered yet he raised his hand and shakes it unknowingly.
'Hiro," he replied and pull his hand off. 'We need to get off," he said which cause the President to look at him out of curiosity.
'What do you mean and who are you really? You're not one of those soldiers. Are you the one who killed him?" he rained him with question as he took a step back. He got this feeling that he wasn't the one who killed the captain but he just don't know what to say.
'No, but maybe you already know what is the answer to your question and I think you already got the feeling of who was it. Who do you think was out of the plane so sudden?" he asked and his heart started beating into an unknown rhythm.
The President doesn't know what to say and he look at where Joemar seat as he was full of question of where did he go.
'It is a long story but please trust me," Hiro said to him and the President just look at him and even though he doesn't want to believe in him but there was space in him that he does want to. He trust his instincts rather that what his heart is telling him.
'I'm willing to listen," he replied and Hiro shakes his head.
'No, we don't have enough much time for me to tell all of those but trust me. I'll tell you what I know once we get out of here," he said as he look out to the window and there he conclude that whoever the passenger in the plane would believe that they are still flying and facing a storm ahead of them but they be in a great hurry because Vega is down there aiming a fire to them.
'How do we get out?" he asked with determination in his eyes and Hiro felt he already had trusted him.
'We wait for you to die."
'WHO are you?" The President ask as soon as Hiro and he had get out of that perilous explosion.
The President couldn't believe what had just happened to them as soon as they gets out of the aircraft and what's more making shock is that where they are. They were all along already where the place of Vega and he had been just playing with them all this time.
Hiro had just managed to get the President out of the plane right from the explosion for Vega to believe that he had already kill the President of the United States. He was aiming first to the President which makes him laugh from the start because he didn't even any more time for aiming the others before him.
By the help of his jet pack and his invisible sheet they weren't seen landing to his safe place. Hiro serves him a cup of tea and the President gladly takes it as he took a sip and was still in the bridge of nervousness. He roamed his eyes in the so called tent that Hiro told him but it doesn't even looked like a tent because it looks like a small house that is camouflage and also looks like invisible. This man in front of him is something which makes the President look at him more because he looks like familiar to him. He had seen him from somewhere he just couldn't put out a name into it.
'My name is Hiro Fushita," he said like reading what runs through his mind and then it him and look at him in shock.
'You are-' he didn't know what to say anymore which makes Hiro just nodded his head which finally he knows him.
'Yes, and before we get there I think you need to know everything," he said and he nodded his head in agreement because he do needs to know everything.
Hiro seated comfortably in his seat as he places back his cup to the saucer and took a deep breath, 'What you see there may look like fictional that you see in especially in sci-fi movies yet it came to possible. What is in there is doomsday. And it is not just that because below down there is the astral projection which he named Project Wilson," he firstly stated and he looked at him slowly getting all of the facts processing in his mind.
'Wilson? I think I know him. Is his father Dr. Wilson Gambit? Or they were just related into each other?" he asked and Hiro nodded in response.
He knows Dr. Wilson because from the past they already have meet. He was his model when it comes to science because when he was young he was already addicted to science, inventions and experiments. But when he had a chance to get to meet him he had taken it because of his father because they were business partners that time and had deal to close. He didn't know what was that deal because he was very young then and had no care about it and what he was curious about is that what are they dealing with well in fact the clinic of Dr. Wilson that time was small and he looks like just a commoner and his dad was a multi-millionaire man and he doesn't know what did he see to Dr. Wilson that time. He was overwhelmed of the welcome that Dr. Wilson had given them but what caught his attention was the human inside of this tube which was covered with this long cloth and was hidden but because of his young mind he sees it. His father was and Dr. Wilson was at the outside talking and he decided to start lurking around silently. He pulled off the cloth just enough for him to see what was the inside which he believes it was just a mannequin but he was wrong. It was indeed and body and when he takes a closer look it looks like dead already. He was taken aback and took a step back and he was about to run where his father is when he felt something hard hit his back and he had the strong feeling that it was something bad that hit him. He slowly turn his head around to see what he had bumped into but it was not a thing because it was a person and that person was Dr. Wilson. He was staring at him from the depth of his eyes and it suddenly changes it color from brown to black or it was just because of the light or it was just his eyes that was fooling him.
'Yes, a father and a son. As you could see Vega was already waiting for you to land into his trap and you all just flying circling into each other. He could do impossible things to possible. What you see is just a mirror . . . a fabricated city. And his first aim is you. And now that he believes that you were already dead maybe you could help me plan for something in here," he said and the President just nodded his head as he looked at the little glass window outside and saw Vega still enjoying buying bombs and throwing it to the survivors who had landed to the ground.
There were hundreds of them . . . a hundred of soldiers and yet he had lead them to their death without even thinking about it. He blames himself for going to a place that they didn't even take care of a plan into it. A tear escapes from his eyes as soon as he saw the bodies of one of his friends. He was the taken aback as he remembers General Arthur of what he had just said and then it hit him. His hands formed into a fist causing his knuckles turns to white and gritted his teeth.
'General Arthur," he uttered and Hiro looked at him.
General Arthur was all along telling him the truth about that kid named Joemar. But how could that be? He was just a kid and he was his trusted assistant. He couldn't even lay a hand in dangerous situation. The President was having a hard time believing what was happening to him . . . what had just happened. He still couldn't believe that someone had tricked and make him look like a fool.
'Look outside the companion of Vega is the President of this country," he said and the President look closely to the man who was sitting comfortably to the sofa and was munching some popcorn as he looks like watching a movie in front of him. He was a lunatic man.
He almost threw up when he saw Vega eating bodies down there. His eyes were not telling lies to him because it was evident that Vega was eating every bodies in the ground and blood dripping into his mouth as he drank all of it. He was a crazy man that needs to be killed.
'Maybe you still didn't know but that man also named Joemar . . . the one whom you trusted most of all in your white Palace. His name is Seiji the President of Japan the one who fooled you. He was disguising himself for all of those days that he had spent with you. He was the cousin of Vega," he said and the President still couldn't believe what revelation that he was hearing all the way.
'B-but that is impossible because he was the one who also presented that video to us and also the reason why we are here to rescue those young men that had become his subject," he said not taking his eyes off to the man who was enjoying the scene in front of him.
'Believe me or not it is okay. I don't have the right to persuade you in the end and I think you should figure it out all by yourself but before that I think we should make a plan in evacuating all of those young men who we think could still survive," he said and the President look at him slowly as he also slowly processing all of those statements.
'Survive?" he asked with full of questions in his eyes.
'Yes, I have been here for a couple of days and yet I have already gathered some data's about it. Back of this building they were a lot of dead bodies . . . innocent young men who couldn't last long enough into the system. They were indulged with this kind of logo that they were staring their virtual screen. The wired that were connected to their backs were consuming their energy. Making them sleep and their souls came into an astral form . . . astral projection. And Vega could control all of them in just a snap of his fingers. Some died because of it yet some not because if his serum that he had invented. A serum which keeps them going because he couldn't take any risk of losing again one of his subjects. Down there were hundreds of them and also hundreds of them were killed. And we couldn't afford any more someone to be one of his captives again," he stated and look at him and he still couldn't believe what he was hearing from him and he understands it because even he from the first place he couldn't process it all out.
'This is hell," he said and Hiro shook his head as he took a sip again of his coffee.
He stands from his seat and walk to where the boxes are and gets some can goods and at least two chocolate bars and handed one can and chocolate bar to him.
'Here take some we need energy before I am taking you there for you to see it face to face," he said and the President gladly take one of those and say his thanks. He had no stomach to eat those but seeing Hiro as he opens the can and just eat it he also follows him.
Hiro was right they needed an energy and he should step aside his emotions right now even though he was fully aware that at the outside there is a massacre. From where they were they could smell the stench of blood because of the smoke and that is when Hiro pushes a button from somewhere and there was glass appeared like it was the window and some spray which makes the odor gone in just a second which somewhat amazes the President. But what could he expect from someone who lives in Japan. Hiro Fushita, was a Japanese man and multi-billionaire man who decided to reside in Las Vegas.
The President opened the can and eat all of it and was somewhat surprised that it was tasty despite of its image. He eats all of it and even opens the chocolate bar and took a big bite of it and munches it. As he was eating he hated himself as tears starts to stream down to his cheeks which he immediately wipes it away using the back of his hand and continues to take a bite. Hiro looks at him with sympathy in his eyes he knows they were keeping up it up with the fast pace but there will be no process if they will just sit down there and watch Gunner take over the world without them taking an action to their might. For at they fight and will be fighting until the end as long as they are still breathing.
'Uhm you mentioned you have seen this kind of video in here. I was curious who have send it?" he asked and the President looked at him and put the empty can in the small table and took a deep breath and sighed.
'His name was Gunner and he have sent us collective videos in different places in this building it was a horror for us to see these thing. At first we thought it was just a prank but what happened in Arizona was not a joke. So we thought we could see the answer in here. In fact we have considered it as a war," he stated and Hiro nodded his head as he understands all of it.
But they were already right because it is in fact a war after all.
'Gunner," he muttered under his breath and looked at him bewildered.
Because as far as he knows down there has no signal unless he gets to the top. And that is when it hits him because unless Ross was not getting to his normal shape that time and he was the one who delivered him to the top and in the floating office. He thinks that is where Gunner had gets his signal to send an email and he was surprised that he had emailed to the United States when he could email it to the President of Japan. But knowing Gunner he was a smart kid and could smell if something was wrong and that was great thinking of him. He was somewhat proud of him.
MEANWHILE Seiji sees something from his peripheral vision but as he looks at it there was nothing . . . nothing at all. But he just feels like someone was staring at him and he was not a fool not feel it.
He looks at Vega who was now busy sipping at his coffee when Vega notice that there was something up. He smiled and snorted.
'Keep your eyes here don't show it to them that you know it," he said which cause Seiji to look at him in disbelief. He didn't know that they have the same feeling about it.
'I know someone is up there and I have my monsters now lurking at the top of the building," he said which sent shivers down to his spine.
Seiji realizes that he shouldn't do anything that would make him also suspect that he was already against of his plans. He couldn't afford that because just a snap of his fingers he knows he couldn't fight him may it be I fist to fist. Vega is smart and sneaky and he was already afraid of him. The color of his eyes change into something sinister like he wasn't the cousin that he used to know.
There was something in him that he couldn't understand it was like he was possessed by something but that was crazy. This man in front of him was possessed already by a devil.
'Who do you think it is?" he asked and Vega smiled showing his teeth and place the cup of his coffee to the cup saucer and stands from his seat.
Vega wipes the smudge f blood in his mouth and as long as Seiji wanted to take of his eyes off on him and he just couldn't because it might give Vega a wrong impression. He was also ordering him to join him and to taste the victory that he is experiencing but he just smiled and seated there comfortable behaving that he was used to it but the truth it he wasn't.
Right in front of him is a devil who eats human flesh because he believes he was getting smarter and stronger because of those blood and flesh. He believes he will an immortal one because of those fresh bodies.
'Soon we will know and I hope I don't know that person because if I do then I feel so sorry for him," he said and turn his back on him making Seiji stands from his seat also and followed him inside of the building.
Seiji calms himself because there is no turning back but back there he was determined to take down the United States and to bring justice to their parents but right now it suddenly changed. He wants justice but he doesn't want to work it out this way. He wants war but not like this which makes him laugh because war is all about death yet the way of description of death for Vega was crucial that everything that falls apart is sinister. Bodies comes to half and their intestines he eats some of them and bloods from the young ones who he drinks those are the ting that he couldn't take. He didn't know that Vega had come so much far like this. He was the image of cannibal leading a war. He doesn't want that. He just want a normal war where he could fire bullets and bombs and just leave their bodies their buried in the ground.
He couldn't believe what had Vega had come into. He wasn't like that from the last time that he saw him and now he was making him sick he does want to get out of the building but now he doesn't know how so the only thing he needed to do is to find the persons out there and ask for help. He wanted to blame himself for being such a trouble. He was already facing the consequences of his life of what he had done living in this world. Seiji was okay all along with the plans of Vega he was ready to sprout out and take the battle but it sudden changes because of what he had seen. It was indeed a horror.
'Seiji," Vega called which makes him get back to his consciousness and look at Vega in his normal way he doesn't want to be caught.
'Aren't you afraid of me?" he asked and Seiji suddenly felt a stale fear in the air as they walk slowly to where his subjects are.
'Why do you ask?" he asked instead of answering him and he somehow swallowed his own lump and he keeps his tracks next to him.
Vega smiled and looked at him, 'Nothing, it was just because of what you have seen lately. I have changed because the god sent me a message and believe me or not they said I should drink the blood and eat the flesh of every person that I have killed because it is the antidote of me to live into an immortal way. I think you should too for us to rule the world, Seiji. Trust me," he said and Seiji nodded into his statement which makes Vega smiled at the sight of it. He was proud of his cousin because he believes on him and he follows his orders and that is why he loves him.
Seiji was being careful of his actions and unknown to him Vega believes on him because he was the only the family that he haves right now and he was treasuring him. In fact it was okay with him if Seiji was not in favor of being in his beliefs as long as he doesn't betrays him.
'I believe in your supremacy, Vega."
