Alright!~
And before the end of this year, I wanted to update this project. However, it seems that I would need to divide this chapter into 2 parts. So, for now, I'm leaving the first part of it while I still work on another part.
A-anyway,
As always,
Enjoy!~
------------------

A week has passed.
As soon as the detailed examination results showed up, they were delivered to the commander. Thus, after the meeting, the commander decided that Kusanagi’s clones did not pose any threat to the Resistance Force.
However, while the female replica was safe to leave the Medical Unit, the male one had to remain under the supervision of the medical staff until he was ready to be trained as a soldier.
Starting today, the female Kyo’s look-alike has officially become a member of the Resistance Force and received the title of Private Kyoko.
Meanwhile, for Iori, it is a long-awaited day as well. After all, he can finally progress his plans further.
But for now, he finishes preparing for tonight’s departure.
“Hopefully, that idiot won’t forget about the meeting nor do anything reckless.” Or so the redhead murmurs when he picks up his light saber.
As he stares at it, he softens his gaze. “You better be not dead. So, wait for me for me, Kyo ... Just a bit longer, and I’m coming for you.”
Lastly, he attaches his trustworthy weapon to his belt.
Some time passes. It is already a late night. After a while, the redhead reaches the port. However, when he looks around, he notices that there is no sign of one certain brunette yet.
But for now, he leans his back against the nearest wall. After he picks a pack of cigarettes from his uniform jacket, he lightens one.
Another few minutes pass. Soon enough, one certain brunette shows up. “There you are. So, what did you want to show me so badly, Yagami?”
As Iori steps on the burnt cigarette, he states. “We’re leaving.”
Kyoko only widens her eyes and raises her eyebrow. “Where?”
“We’re going to visit your father and your original,” Yagami explains while keeping his hands in his pants pockets and approaching the nearest spaceship.
While she follows her partner, she objects. “What you mean by that? But what about Nii-sama? Dad might be upset if I won’t bring him.”
“That’s his problem.” Iori backfires.
‘If anything, he should be afraid for his life and god forbids it if he was one of these bastards who hurt Kyo.’ Or so the redhead thinks while clenching his palm into a fist and momentarily baring his fangs.
After exhaling and lowering his shoulders, he adds. “Your brother is still too weak to go with us. So, you can tell this to your father. Besides, if he is such a kind person as you claim, he should understand you. Don’t you think so?”
At first, the brunette steps back while giving a questioning look. Yet, she follows Iori and nods.
That’s right, during her stay in the Resistance Force, Yagami used to visit her in the Medical Unit every day. Despite these being short ones, it strangely brighten up her day.
Thus, eventually, she started to trust the redhead and noticed that he didn’t mind that much when she tried to tease him.
After getting into the spaceship, Iori allows Kyoko to sit in the pilot seat while she turns her head and stares at him.
As the redhead sits down next to her, he asks. “Why are you staring at me like this? You should know better where is your father than me. Unless he didn’t tell you how to return home and wanted to get rid of you.”
“You’re wrong! Dad would never do this. Just you wait ‘til you meet him.” The brunette indignantly replies.
Iori only rolls his eyes and points at the display panel with his palm. “Go on and prove to me I’m wrong.”
While Kyoko enters the needed coordinates, she complains. “But thanks to you, I won’t be able to contact him. So, how he’ll know that I’m coming to see him?”
When they finally depart from the Resistance Force, Kyoko sits back and frowns. “Besides, based on what I’ve seen so far, I’m surprised that you rely on a piece of clothing that has zero protection instead of having body armor. You also use such primitive weapons. And I’m not talking about the outdated technology in your base… It’s still amazing how you survived that long.”
Instead of saying anything, Yagami removes the sound transmission device from behind his ear and passes it to the female replica. “Here. Even if it’s an old model and not whatever you used, at least the Empire or anyone else won’t be able to listen to you.”
While Kyoko studies the small device, the redhead’s question makes her turn back. “What’s wrong? Now you can call your oh-so-precious father. Or you don’t know how to use it?”
“Of course, I know! …I think.” The brunette immediately responds.
“Let me give you a hint. You need to scroll the switches until you set to your wanted frequency. Then, if you want to hear anything, put it behind your ear,” Iori explains while he relaxes in the chair and crosses his arms.
Meanwhile, Kyoko carefully follows the instructions and remarks. “It’s a pretty primitive-looking thing. However, I saw something like this lying around in Dad’s room. In any case, hopefully, he is not busy...”
Lastly, Iori closes his eyes and exhales. For now, he waits until they arrive at their destination place, where Kyo is imprisoned.
At the moment, he isn’t much concerned that whoever created this clone would pick up their signal to lure them into a trap.
That’s right, someone bred these replicas for the Empire, and the one sitting next to him might have been not an exception.
More so, she is as naïve as a child creature who would betray him without any sense of guilt or a second thought and wouldn’t understand what she has done.
On the other hand, it’s not important right now. After all, Yagami’s determination to see his long-time partner is stronger than anything.
Even if they are greeted by the armed forces, Iori will unleash his blade and fight anyone until either he or the enemy remains on the field.
He’ll even challenge the Death itself or the entire world if that’s the only way to get to Kyo. Or so the redhead ponders while observing the vast of the never-ending universe through the front window.
A couple of hours have passed. Thus, the Resistance soldiers finally arrived at their destination place.
The only light source that touched this land was from the spaceship, which revealed a grim and neglected scenery by mankind for years.
Judging from the empty, spacious area surrounded by the dark mist, it was used as a parking area.
But for now, when they step on this strange land, Iori turns on the flashlight and passes it to his partner. “What are you waiting? Show me the way. Or did you think you would trick me into going to the middle of nowhere?”
“Why would I? Dad taught to me to never lie or hide anything from him. Besides, how else I would prove him that Nii-sama is alright? That’s why you need to stay close to me because dad warn me that if you get lost here, no one will help you.” The brunette replies while keeping an eye on Yagami.
As they go deeper into the never-ending darkness, Kyoko explains. “It shouldn’t be far from here. So, we should reach the backdoor of the lab facility where dad works for the evil people. However, I wonder if he is doing fine or if he knows that we’re here…”
Of course, the redhead could tell her why her oh-so-adored father didn’t bother to pick up the signal. However, it would be as pointless as asking the wind not to blow.
More importantly, it may be wiser not to agitate or to stress this replica and play along with her, no matter how ridiculous her world is painted by whoever made her.
For now, Iori closes his eyes and sighs. “I’m sure that he is doing something important.”
In the end, the brunette’s face lightens up, and she nods. “That’s right!”
A second later, she proudly adds. “Perhaps right now he is waiting for me. So, you better be prepared to show him no less than respect when you see him.”
Lastly, Iori only rolls his eyes. “Whatever.”
After a while, their path becomes brighter. As the female clone of Kyo promised, she kept her word. Thus, soon, they reached the poorly lightened iron gate.
Meanwhile, Kyo only crosses her arms and holds her chin while staring at the pin code panel close to the door.
“What’s wrong? Have you forgotten the password?” Iori asks.
For sure, the redhead’s question makes her turn her head. Yet, she lowers her gaze. “Dad never told me.”
Yagami only indifferently addresses his partner. “And what are you suggesting to do next? Wait until anyone will unlock for us?”
“That’s right.” The brunette briefly answers.
For now, Iori steps forward and pushes Kyoko to the side. “Move.”
A second later, he picks up and lightens his saber blade. After he turns his head, he adds. “Or do you wish to be sliced into pieces?”
“What are you?-” The brunette speaks up before her voice is cut off when Yagami unleashes a powerful strike.
A slash after a slash, and Iori kicks out the cut door.
As soon as the sirens howl and the white corridors flash in crimson, he grabs the stunned brunette’s arm and announces. “We’re going in. Stay close to me or else you’ll meet your father faster than you think. ”
In the end, Yagami storms in through the gateway to hell.
Meanwhile, in one of the researchers’ rooms. One silver-haired professor is about to doze out before finishing working on the papers.
Suddenly, his guard is caught by the loud sirens and the robotic voice warning. “EMERGENCY ALERT! EMERGENCY ALERT! A GROUP OF TERRORISTS ARE ROAMING FREE IN ISOLATION UNIT!”
After Professor Kurama pushes the chair away and stands up, he fixes his glasses and delightfully smiles like a fox. “My... it was a matter of time before the inevitable happens.”
Just before taking his leave, he adds. “Looks like Miss Fortune favoring us, Kusanagi-kun.”
Despite the midst of the panic and chaos, he walks with noble elegance until someone rushes into him.
“The hell you’re doing? Don’t just stand here!” The senior scientist yells at him.
While the silver-haired male keeps his hands in the medical coat’s pockets, he pulls the pistol and pulls the trigger.
With a bang, the middle-aged scientist’s life thread is cut, and his dead body hits the ground.
For now, Kurama squats and searches that man’s pockets. “Please, you do not need to worry about me.”
When he picks up a key card and puts it into his pocket, he stands up and addresses the corpse. “On the other hand, I would be very grateful for this.”
In the end, the professor heads towards the facility where one test subject is kept before he is sent off to the Imperial Army.
And thus, the great race with time begins in which only one side can succeed.
