[Weapon]

     Everyone suddenly shouldered their weapons and prepared to shoot in self defense. We all knew Akira to be ruthless, killing anybody and everybody who got in the way of his goal for revenge. We had lost several people to him already and we weren't ready to loose any more.
     Eventually we met up with the other three groups and we began sharing anything we found.
     "So you found Jilly in the medical bar and two alien females in the Recreational Area? A Catkerion and a Dragoon correct?" I asked.
     "Yes, that's right," Katt said. "They introduced themselves as Katie and Courtney."
     "Hmm, okay, any idea what happened to Jilly?" I asked.
     "She's merely unconscious apparently due to some sort of emotional shock," Daniel said.
     "In otherwords, she just faintined, she'll be fine," Nicole said. "But where could Nathan be?"
     "Courtney mentioned that 'she' just disappeared shortly after bringing Jilly to the medical bay," Alexia said.
     "So that means Nathan is 'Pink' right now," I said.
     "Which can't be a good sign," Nicole said.
     "Yeah, what do we do?" Katt asked.
     "You tell me where I may find 'Pink'," a very familiar voice spoke.

     I turned to see who it was just as Akira stepped out of the shadows. Nicole hid behind me just as she saw Akira, which caused him to laugh at the display of fear of him.
     "What do YOU want Akira?!" I said angrily. "Nathan isn't here!"
     "I know that, I saw him teleport out of here," Akira said with an evil smile crossing his face.
     "Wait, you mean you've been here the whole time?" Joseph asked.
     "Quite perceptive of you Joseph, and yes I have been here the whole time...waiting," Akira said.
     "For?" Nicole asked.
     "For you all to return of course," he smirked.
     "Why us?" I asked.
"Cause I want 'her' to know how it feels to loose all 'her' friends or rather 'fellow travelers' just as I have," Akira said.
     Hearing that, I stepped forward, clenching my fists and slightly moving my body into a position ready to fight. Then I realized something very wrong here with what Akira said.
     "Wait, you want us to tell you where you can find Pink, and yet you've also said you've been waiting for us to return so you can make her feel what you've already gone through? Remember you didn't loose everybody to death, some grew old and died, and then there is me, and Joseph, and Daniel, and even...Nicolai...in spirit," I said.
     "How DARE you speak her name! She is not, and never will be like her!" Akira said angrily pointing an angry finger at Nicole.

     I looked at Akira shocked at how he reacted. Did he actually regret killing Nicolai, his wife? If so, then there was still part of him in there.
     "Why do you blame Nathan for your loss?" Nicole asked stepping out from behind me.
     "I didn't ask to be brought into this life because he has always had free will. I remember when I was created, I was their perfect soldier, doing everything they wanted without question. I was just a tool!" he yelled.
     "So was I Akira, but that is no reason to blame Nathan for all of that," Joseph said. "He had no idea what they did with a copy of his DNA. He didn't know it was used to make you, me, Nicolai, Seeker, and Daniel, how could he? He already regrets his own existance without you making him feel that way."
     "Yes, you were mistaken for him and lost a lot in the process, but Nathan...he tried giving you a normal life. Do you recall back when all this started? Those dreams you had through Nathan's perspective, do you remember? You saw those because Nathan was using all his energy, trying so hard to hide you from the wrong people," I said.
     I know Nathan wouldn't be happy with my having told Akira this, especially since it is a memory he has locked away...making himself forget what happened then. The reason I know this is because I had sort of hacked into his 'memory vault' while he shared his body with me, housing my spirit energy within his own body same with Seeker and Nicolai's spirit.
     That is when I finally realized something. Nicolai and Seeker's spirit energy merged with Nathan's, becoming one, which meant Nicole wasn't Nicolai's descendent, unless...
     I didn't want to think about it, shaking the thoughts from my head.
     "No! You're lying!" Akira yelled, unable to accept the truth.
     "It's true Akira, and Nathan has been seeking a way to rid the virus affecting your brain," I said.
     "No, he wouldn't do that! We are sworn enemies! It's his fault I've been put in this situation! Enemies don't help each other!" Akira screamed out again, shaking his head to what he was hearing.
     "You are the only one that sees each other as 'sworn enemies'. Nathan sees you as his brother, his twin, not even as his shadow which you seem to think. He wants to help you...let him...and help us find him," Nicole said confronting him.

     You all should fine Nathan, or Pink, or whatever 'she' is going by, and soon, because," Infinite started in. "Scans show that she...is pregnant."
     "Wait...what?!" everyone, including Akira, said.
