Chap 12: Hacker? Superhero? Or else?

I don't know how long it took me, but I knew for sure that the producer lady must be already ahead of the TV tower. Knowing that small groups of BS were watching over receivers, which means that the TV tower will be well secured for sure. This means we must be ready to fight to get in.

Once I got there I was right. Black Swan members were guarding the entrance. But I could tell by the smell, the producer lady got in another way. With...Kiro. Well, he is a super hacker, so he probably figured out where the electromagnetic waves were transmitted. Meanwhile, I tried to figure out how to get in. Or maybe that is not necessary. Since the TV tower has its usual workers, the transmitter must be somewhere where they wouldn't notice it. So, it can't be the program, it could easily be done by other computers or noticed by workers. Now think. If I want to transmit something without being noticed, what would I do...? That's when I got it. The satellite dish. They could easily disguise themselves as janitors and put the transmitter into the dish without anyone noticing it. So, I just need to... get up.

Nuts! If only I could create fire wings like dad. But then again I haven't learned anything since I got here. Well, except the fire wolf and... Okay, this is a far catch, but it's one way to try...

I took a piece of paper from my notebook and drew and folded it. I'm not sure if the protector can fly but at least it will allow me to get inside. However, before I could use it, I heard screaming from the entrance. As I turned around to look, all the guards were holding their heads, while screaming, before they passed out. I went to see closely until I noticed what was going on. They all had some sort of collars. As I looked closely, it seemed those collars were blocking the electromagnetic waves, so their evols won't go out of control. Makes sense. Obviously, Kiro hacked the system to switch off the collars. This is my chance then.

I held one to the charm I made as I howled as best I could before standing in front of me stood a huge fire wolf. As it understood my thoughts, it kneeled down to allow me to get on its back before it jumped and started to run vertically to the top. I needed to hold on tight on it, so I wouldn't fall nor look down for the same reason.

Right then, I heard a crash above me. I looked up and saw someone falling. It's Kiro. Sensing my worry, the fire wolf hurried to catch him, but he managed to stop his own fall by grabbing one of the metal rods and stabbing it onto the building.

"Kiro!"

Hearing my yell, Kiro looks down and sees me.

"Little guardian!" he smiled realizing I have come to help. "Wow... is that?" he asked, meaning the fire wolf.

"I will explain later. What happened? Where is...?"

"I have no time to explain. I need your help." he said. I have to agree with that.

"Jump on!"

The fire wolf took us to the topmost viewing platform. There Kiro asked to get into the vent system and wait for my signal. I wasn't sure what he was planning, but I decided to do so. I managed to follow the situation by heat vision. The producer lady managed to run to the top floor when suddenly metal rods came out of nowhere. So, somebody has an evol of control metal or magnetism. Well, it obviously appeared behind, until they stopped. I can't tell what's going on but it's obviously Kiro. I could tell something came off, sprinkles for a fire emergency I guess. Not that's not water, cold smoke perhaps. I could see that guy with evol metal/magnetism evol wasn't aware of what was going on as I see the producer lady move further away from him while Kiro seemed to cause a distraction that made the BS agent launch the metal rod to the window. Aah! Now I realize what the signal is. The fire wolf moved a bit aside to take a spot as I saw Kiro come out from his hide and push the BS agent right to the window which had the rods and started to crack. Both start to fall at me and the fire wolf, before the wolf moves a bit to the left, me still on its back, in which the BS agent falls hard onto the grid where we stood. Kiro however, managed to land well. I assume he has done most of his stunts in the filming.

"Kiro! Are you okay?"

"Yeah!" Kiro answers and shows the collar which he managed to take off from the BS agent. "A superhero always wins!"

The fire wolf takes me and Kiro before I order it watch over until I call it back.

"What is that?" The producer lady asked me.

"Something I learned from my dad." I told.

"Man, I'm tired..." Kiro said as he sat down on the floor while the producer lady went to help him out. I stood close to them. "That was ten times harder than filming an action movie." Ha! Knew it!

"Let me guess, a huge airbag or elastic net?" I asked.

"Both" Kiro admits.

"Thanks, Kiro." The producer lady said to him.

"Sure"

"Oh, right," she said before picking something from her pocket. "I think I have in my pocket...magic candy that makes you feel better. Here." she said and held a small candy. Kiro seemed to be surprised by that. I sure was confused and so was the producer lady. "Is something wrong?"

"Nope. Nothing. Thank you." Kiro said as he took the candy. "Thank you too, little Guardian."

"Hey, I have to do something to earn that name." I joked.

"And...you didn't forget what we talked about, right?" Kiro continued talking with the producer lady. "When all this is over, the two of us are going on a sweet tour!"

"Are we?"

"Yeah!"

"All right. I suppose I have no choice but to keep this glutton company."

"Hey, I want some sweets too." I pout.

"Sorry, little guardian. you know the saying 'three is a crowd'." Kiro teased me, in which I started to try to hit him, but he held on to my head while laughing. Who knew... I was having another big brother figure...

But then Kiro's laptop was alarmed by something. He checked it and all surveillance cameras showed that more BS members were coming to the tower. We needed to hurry.

It dawned as we hurried up to the top of the tower. There was still an outdoor stairway to climb up to get there. The BS agents were getting close as they tried to shoot us, but luckily I was the last one and with my power form, so I could take the shots and heal quickly. Okay, maybe not the best idea, but better me than Kiro or the producer lady. However, something was wrong with Kiro. I couldn't say what, but my wolf instinct told me to be aware. Again? First with Lucien and now... no, that's not possible... Kiro doesn't smell like them, unlike Lucien. But there is something else...

"Kiro! Are you okay?" The producer lady asked him.

"Yeah. I just slipped a little." he said. "Let's hurry!" I knew that was a lie. Whatever is going on with him, he doesn't want her to know for some reason.

As we arrive at the end of the stray away there is a door that will take us to the satellite antenna, where the transmitter is. However, Kiro acts more strangely. It's like he is trying to hold something inside him.

"Kiro! What's wrong?" The producer lady asked him.

His hand forms into a fist before straightening up. "I made up my mind...that I protect you, no matter what."

I remember him saying that when we were in that setup trap for Key. I was still three steps away before I saw Kiro's eyes change color into amber gold as he looked at the producer lady.

"I command you." This gave me shivers as I heard him speak. It felt so stiff and stern. "You will go out onto the rooftop and close the door. You will not allow anyone in. That includes me."

As he has said that, the producer lady starts to walk to the door of the rooftop, as she tries to speak, but it seems her body was moving on its own. I started to have a suspension on Kiro's evol. He told me his evol is a certain charm. From what I read on the news, if it gets out of control it makes people go crazy for him. But this... is like a far different level of charm. A charm to give orders...

The BS agents were getting near as she opened the door and steps on the rooftop. I tried to go to her, but Kiro stopped me.

"Let me go, Kiro!" I shout as the produce lady turns to look at us.

"Kiro!"

"I promise, I will return one day." he said.

"No! Don't do this, Kiro!" Producer lady pleads as her hand goes back to the door handle.

"Let me go!" I yelled.

"So, Potato chip Princess... wait for me." he said as the door closed.

I could still hear her shout for Kiro as the BS agents came before Kiro whispers to me.

"Little guardian... protect her... protect everyone."

Right then, he takes grip of me and throws me over the stairs as I start to fall from the tower.

The wind blows hard as I fall as I see the city, upside down. From a distance, I see a fire wolf coming at me, trying to catch me until I see it vanish. I didn't have time to realize it until something took hold of me. I feel something smooth pearly as I look closely, I notice it as sky blue scale. I see them surround me as the sun starts to rise from the horizon. In this, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

As I wake up, I find myself resting on the bed in an unfamiliar room. As I turn to look more I see a producer lady coming from the balcony. So, I'm in her apartment.

"Wha...What happened?" I asked.

"Miss Darens, are you okay?" the producer lady asked me.

"I feel like I have slept for weeks." I complained. "The transmitter... did you...?"

"I destroyed it"

"Oh good..." I sighed

"Gavin brought me back here, while your dragon..."

"Dragon?"

"Don't you remember?"

I tried to recall, as the sky blue scale came to my mind. Was it a dragon?

I get up from the bed as I walk to the balcony. "I must check things. I um... sorry, I don't have your phone number..."

"It's okay. Here." producer lady as she gave her card, from which I took her phone number. As I was adding the information, I looked at her...

"Is it okay... if I call you big sis?" I asked awkwardly. "I mean, I have so far called you a producer lady and you are obviously five years older than me, so..."

She smiled gently. "It's okay. You may call me big sis." I sighed as I added that name to my phone before I was ready to jump from her balcony, before... "Is it okay if I'll call you by your name?" she asked.

I haven't thought of that. So far everyone has called Miss Darens. Well, Victor sometimes calls me Crybaby and Kiro calls me my little Guardian. I don't see anything wrong with what she knows.

"Aili. My name is Aili." Once I said it, I jumped from her balcony.
