This Is My Battleground

Chapter 20
Episode 4: Scene 3

"Len, let her out!" I commanded. I could feel my heart almost stopping. I looked around the lab and found a slightly dusty lab coat in the corner. "Len! hurry up!" Len was furiously typing away at the computer as the yellow toxic started draining away and the tube began filling with water.

"This will help her a bit," he said. "She's been raised in this toxic waste, I think it's almost her water. Let's hope it won't kill her or anything." I looked at him in shock. "I'm kidding Rin! Geez! Lighten up!"

"How can I?" I snapped. I almost continued, but a small tremor was felt below our feet. Len's eyes widened and he took the lab coat, threw it over me and made the both of us hide under a table. I heard footsteps approach the computer, but I couldn't see anything. I could only see Len's face as he watched the person's feet. He looked to the side a picked up a piece of rusted metal and threw it to the left, breaking a few glasses at the side. I heard the person's feet run towards the metal and I watched as Len scooted out from under the table.

"Who are you?" Len asked, pointing his gun to the figure. I crawled out beside him and looked back at the girl in the tube. The purification process was slow, but it was working. I looked at the figure and shown the flashlight on it.

"I dhould be asking you that!" he said, frowning. "What are you doing here? This a private floor!" He was unarmed and nervous to the point where I'm pretty sure if Len shot a bullet, he'd piss his pants.

"We're here to get some business done," Len said, his gun focused on the scientist. "Rin, follow my instructions, got it?"

"Yes," I responded.

"The computer," he said. "Once the purification process is done, get her out of there. We're taking her home." I nodded. "Hold this gun, babe. I'm going to get her out." We quickly switched positions and I walked to the scientist as he fell down to the floor.

"You're a sick, sick man, you know that?" I asked. I picked him up, placed him on the table and strapped him in like a science experiment. "But this is what you get for hurt my cute little daughter." I turned back to Len and he was buttoning up the lab coat on the little girl with the golden hair. She was on her knees, but Len picked her up and I stroked her hair. Poor little girl...

"What should her name be?" Len asked, looking at me.

"Her name is CU9!" the scientist called.

"It's not anymore," I snapped. "But, how about SeeU? It won't confuse her, at least." I turned back to the scientist and smiled a dark smile. "Wanna tell me why my cute daughter was kidnapped, hm?" The scientist said nothing, which made me smile even more. I took my gun and placed it above his balls. "This is why you never steal from me." I shot both his balls and his little seed shooter before Len and I ran out of there and for the stairs.

"Geez Rin, violent much?" Len asked, jokingly.

"Hey, look at yourself," I shot back. "And SeeU is your child." I never thought I'd be happy to say that, but the confused look on Len's face said all it needed to say.

"When did we ever make her, though?" he asked, looking at her.

"Does it matter?" I asked. "She's yours." We found the stairs and I held it open for Len to get through. Around about the fifth floor, we had to stop and hide because SeeU was starting to open her eyes. She looked at us in surprise and she immediately reverted to a frightened state.

"Hey there, SeeU," Len said, giving her a warm smile. "How are you feeling?" She looked towards him and nodded, but carefully.

"Can you speak?" I asked, kneeling down to her. She looked at me but, she looked more frightened of me than of Len. I looked at her carefully and she had Len's eyes and the same shade of his hair, but I could see similar cheekbones Yuki had, but her face was pale, probably from being inside her entire life or something.

"W-who are you?" she asked, looking at us.

"We're here to get you out of here," Len said, sweetly. He used the same tone as he did with Yuki. He craddled her and I saw her instantly relax. Who knew he was so good with kids? "We're going to take you back to your parents, alright?" SeeU looked down.

"I don't have any parents," she said. "The scientist said I was unwanted by them."

"That's not true," I told her. She looked towards me and I squatted down to get to eye level. "Your parents love you very much, SeeU. They were put in a coma before they could meet you, but you were kidnapped. That's why we're getting you back." She looked at both of us, worriedly.

"Will they like me?" she asked.

"They'll love you," Len responded, stroking her wavy hair. "You also have a sister and she'll be happy to finally have a friend her age."

"S-sister? What's that?" she asked.

"It's someone who has the same parents as you," I responded. "But, in this case, you two don't share the same father."

"Um...that doesn't make sense," she said, frowning.

"We can tell you more when we get back, alright?" Len offered. SeeU nodded and I looked around the corner. "What's up?"

"Several guards out there. Cover SeeU's ears," I commanded. SeeU reached for her ears and I rolled a hand grenade down the hallway, ducking away from the explosion. The horrified screams made a perfect getaway for us to climb the rest of the stairs to the bottom floor. "Len, stay here. I'm gonna check to make sure we don't get shot." He nodded and held SeeU in the corner as I pressed my ear against the door. Gun shots. A bunch of gunshots. Then, silence. I opened the door a crack and immediately daw the barrel of a gun above me.

"Rin?" The gun lowered itself and Miku stood there, surprised. "Oh, it's a good thing I didn't shoot." I opened the door wider and saw a bunch of dead bodies litering the floor. Kaito and the rest were behind her, in perfect condition, but reloading their battered weapons.

"Len, it's safe," I called, stepping out of the staircase. "So, how is everyone?"

"We helped out the Vocaloid Prisoners go through the sewers," Meiko said with her cocky smile.

"We destroyed several floors," Gakupo sang.

"We killed at least half of Utau's soldiers," Miku said, rubbing oil on her shoulder. "What about you?"

"We found our daughter," Len offered, walking out with SeeU in his arms.
