Location: Mike’s house
Time: Around noon

Roxas and everyone else had gone out. I didn’t give Roxas any money this time, because then he wouldn’t come back with different clothes. I had gotten up and just finished taking a shower when the doorbell rang. I threw my pants on and walk towards the door. When I opened it, it was Miome.

“Huh? Oh, Miome, what’s up?” I said, opening the door incase she wanted to come in.

“Hi Mike, I uh-” this was probably when she noticed I wasn’t wearing a shirt, because she blushed slightly.

I laughed and let her in. “Make yourself at home, I’ll be back in a second.” I said, walking to the bedroom to grab my shirt. When I returned, Miome was still standing by the counter. “Have a seat.” I said, gesturing towards the couch. She sat down and I sat in the chair across from her. “So, to what do I owe this visit?”

“Well, I know you said that you were at the Federation’s main office when Calista died.” she said, saddened, “But on the video recordings, there’s no sign of you entering, just Calista and Zero.”

My heart sank. She must have figured it out, because I was seen exiting, but not entering, and Zero was seen entering, but not exiting. “Well, uh, you see Miome…” I said, unwilling to say the truth.

“Does that mean, you know Zero?” She said, sitting forward for my answer. I figured that God, if there was one, had give me a new chance. I could lie, but to Miome…well…I’ll lie.

“Y-yeah, I do,” I lied through my teeth, “we’re pretty good friends.”

She was intrigued. “Where does he live, what’s he look like without the helmet, what does-”

“Whoa whoa whoa, slow down there Miome.” I said. “I’m good friends, but we mainly fight alongside each other.”

“Really!” she said, her eyes wide open, “That’s so cool!” I sat there smiling, thinking “Yeah, I am cool.” when she said “But why would he hang out with someone like you?”

My smile disappeared as my eyes were wide open. I felt like I’d been hit in the crotch with a sledgehammer. There was a few seconds of silence when Miome’s phone went off. I was still frozen when she said “I have to go, later Mike.” and left. “I…I’m cool too.” I said quietly to myself. I stood up and walked outside. Miome was still walking away, and I figured she wouldn’t see me, so I jumped behind my house and went into my Ray armor. I took off, straight up into the sky, and flew over her head. I turned on my back to look back at her and I saw her jumping and waving. I laughed.

I flying above the store where Roxas and Mayuno were supposed to be when a rope flew up and grabbed my left leg. I flew straight to the ground and landed on my face. Luckily, it didn’t hurt because of the armor. I looked back to see who the one with the lasso was when the Nagakura’s pounced on me screaming “OH MY GOD IT’S ZERO!” I just lied there, panicking because if Miome could get here that fast, she must be on drugs.

“Hey!” I struggled out, “C-come on, get off of me!” I managed to free my right arm and get to a stand, but they were still hanging off of my shoulders. I lifted them in to the air and set them down. “What’s up?”

“Oh my god, Zero um…um, hello!” Mayuno said. “It’s so great to meet you!” She stuck her hand out. When I shook it, my feet bounced off the ground because she shook my whole body with massive swings of her arm. This was kinda scary now. I laughed anyways.

“So where are you going!?” Miome said curiously.

“Well I was planning on just flying around, but now-” I was interrupted by a cry for help. It sounded a few blocks away, a woman perhaps. I took off to the air before the Nagakuras could say anything. I flipped in the air and waved goodbye as I took off towards the scene of the crime.

When I got to the point of the scream, I saw a woman chasing a man. I saw he had a purse, and guys don’t usually carry purses. I swooped down and lifted him high into the air. We were up higher then most buildings when I grabbed him by the back of his collar and held him out away from me.

“Hand me the purse.” I said to him. He didn’t move, he just stared straight at the ground, petrified. “Ok then, have a nice landing.” I let go of him and let him fall. when he was starting to come close to the ground, I dove straight down and grabbed him. He had dropped the purse which landed in the woman’s arms, so I took his coat off, tied the sleeves around him, and stuck him on a light post. When I landed I was applauded and thanked. That’s when the Nagakuras walked back up to me.

“Um, Zero, could we ask you something.” they both said quietly.

“Sure, what is it?” I replied, putting one hand on each of their shoulders.

“Well, we know you know Mike…and…”Mayuno started.

“And…”

Miome finished, “we were wondering if you could ask him if after he got his arm back, if he could bring our friend Calista back to life.” This hit me hard. I wanted to break down right in front of them.

“Sure,” I said, “sure.”

They thanked me as I headed home. When I got home I powered down my suit. If I was going to get my arm back, I’d make sure Calista was back as well.
