Chapter 3: (Code: Discovery) part 1
In the last chapter, Sakura was kidnapped, Ogami brainwashed Toki, and then Yuuki saved Sakura. But now, Ogami and Toki, back with the others, stand poised to betray the Code:Breakers at any moment. Can they save Toki from brainwashing? What will happen when they discover Ogami's allegiance? What is RaSaKun? Who are his minions? What does he want? Maybe some of these questions will find answers in this latest chapter!
Rui Hachiouji walks through the streets, looking at the building the street kid indicated.
She enters a code that she was told, and opens the door. She takes a bracing breath, and steps inside.
"Woah." Inside, the walls are lined with information on cork boards.
I stop at one. An old photo of a man, in chains, gets my attention. Several notes connected to it. Why does he hate our government? What happened to him?
What is his relationship to Sakura Sakurakouji?
"Oh," Rui whispers, "This isn't good."
Swiftly, she takes out a small handheld camera ― phones can be hacked, after all ― and photographs the information in the room.
Masaomi Heike stares at the pictures set on the table, his steamy romance manga forgotten. "This isn't good." His golden eyes have lost their usual energy. Rui's surprised by how tired the man looks.
"Do you know what it means?" Rui asks.
"No." Masaomi replies, "But I know how to find out."
Masaomi bookmarks his page before standing, sparing a single glance for Rui's short teal hair and purple eyes. "I assume that means you want me to follow you?" Rui grumbles.
Masaomi ignores her and leads her away.
"What is this place?" Rui says, her purple eyes staring at the caverns around her.
"This is where we keep our time machine."
"As in a TARDIS?"
Masaomi scoffs, "As if we'd keep that here."
"Wait, does that mean we have one? Seriously?"
"No." Masaomi replies, "Our time machine is more of a time viewer, to be honest."
"Alright," Rui shrugs, "Well, let's figure this out."
Masaomi leads her to the end of the cave system, where a strange machine sits. Coffin shaped, the time viewer has an aura of foreboding. Various cords knot the insides of the viewer.
Masaomi gestures. "Ladies first."
"Fine." Rui climbs into the coffin.
Masaomi messes with the bundle of cords, pulling out a helmet ― attached to the cords ― and setting it atop her head.
"I bet I look silly right now." Rui mutters.
Masaomi offers a small grin before dealing with some of the other cords. One of which attaches to an IV, which he inserts into her hand.
Rui winces.
Masaomi, ignoring her pain, grabs some more cords, inserting some into her nervous system. Soon, she's all set up. "Think about what you want to see." Masaomi says.
"Wait, aren't you coming?" Rui asks, panicked.
Masaomi spares a smile once more. "No."
"Wait, wh-"
Rui opens her eyes, sitting up.
"Where am I now?"
