GXP 13 chapter 3

3 "Another fight"   

The girls came out of a tunnel that was a transfer gate in a luxurious limousine car. It was the kind used to transport royal aristocracy,  not only was it hard to destroy from the outside but also from the inside. being locked in it from the outside was as good as being locked in a high security containment car.
-------

 "That's the Kuramitsu family's house!" Amane said while looking at the scenery in the distance.  
The Kuramitsu family house at the academy was on a considerably vast piece of land and no other buildings could be seen besides the giant mansion.
 "... ...Hmmpf seem's like were being treated well for prisoners."  
Everyone's eyes gazed at the  medieval European castle like mansion built on a small hill in front of  them.

And soon all eyes were directed towards Misao. Him bringing them here meant not only did they want to isolate them, but also wanted to protect them from others trying to get to them. They realized they were part prisoners and partially under military protection.
The escort car arrived at the front door of the mansion.
Misao guided them to the place they were to be held.
 
"This room is the one that my father was using, It should have everything you need in it. I'm sorry but I have orders from the military to keep you locked up.  As long as you stay here, you can use  anything you find in these facilities freely ... Anything .... The interrogation will be tomorrow... Please make yourself at home"  Misao said and he went outside the room and left a maid inside.

 "Kiriko"
 "Yeah. got it"  At the same time that the door closed, Kiriko ran to the office in the back.
There was a terminal that was running. Of course the maid pretended not to notice.
   "Is this ... ... maybe?"
 "Let's investigate."
 "I'll check the link to the outside" They each started working.

 "We have high level authorization access! Even to the highly classified area of ​​the military's servers ... It's also possible to access Jurai's data ... ... this is amazing"
  "The facility here is amazing, even if you know the codes, you can still access the data."
 "Hm ... ...OK...Let's get on it."    

------------
 
"Don't hold back." Misao said as he walked out.
 "What?"
 "Oh.... nothing" Misao quickly walked as he laughed at the confused escort.
------------

Seina and Kirche climbed a small hill and looked down over the valley.
"We have to hurry! They'll be hurt if we don't."
They spotted two armed pirates on flying skateboard like plates with with steering wheels, they were chasing two Wau children.  
One of them seemed to have an injured foot. Fortunately the wound seemed shallow and they were still running pretty fast.
Nonetheless they still were at risk of being shot by the pirates riding on the flying plates, who would soon catch up to them.

"Ugh!!" Seina's blood boiled at the sight. 
The men were enjoying hunting the wau children and it reminded him of when Tarrant had tried to kill Seina. He felt fear anger and sympathy all at once for the children who were being chased. They were even younger than Seina was.
(There! Over there!)    
It was an act that might hurt a normal person or lead to death, but Seina didn't hesitate.
He stood on the edge of a dangerous cliff jutting out in front of the path of the pirates, the moment he put his weight on it, the cliff began to collapse.

Seina suicide bombed them with the cliff knowing they would get caught up in his bad luck but he knew he would be fine or at least the damage would be small. The men who were chasing the waus were caught up in the falling torrent of sand and stone,  and Seina was left with only slight scratches. The backpack with survival goods that he had carried with him got trapped under the earth and sand.

"Are you OK, you're not injured are you?"  Seina spoke to children who were still stunned.  the  wau children looked relieved.
"Thank you……"  The injured child began to cry in relief.
Because she was wearing a hood, he didn't notice but the injured boy with the other boy was actually a girl.  

The boy was  a very common brown wau like he had often seen, but the girl had golden hair that was very beautiful. It was rare like Erma's white hair.
 "Seina, are you OK?"  Kirche jumped off the cliff and landed steadily.
 "Yes, but this girl is injured ..."  

The girl who saw Kirche seemed a little nervous,  but Kirche's smile calmed her suspicions.
"Don't worry. It's just a a light burn from a high-energy blast grazing past her."  Kirche sprayed a liquid medicine to disinfect and protect the wounds from her fingertips.
As Seina 's NB she was equipped to treat seina who was constantly injured.

 "Are you two alone,where's you father or mother?"
 "They live in a secret cave, but our mother is sick so we came to pick herbs."
 "So did you find them?" he asked he had come here just to help Fuku, but these children now took priority.

"My Nanomachines have gotten access to the enemy system and have started operating." Kirche said "Seina,someone is on the way! Their energy reaction is quickly approaching!" In a hurry Kirche lowered her voice.
 "I doubt it's anyone friendly."
 "There are three moving reactions heading towards the ship, they're just ahead of us."
 "Let's hurry, can you take me to your hiding place?"
 "Please wait! Not yet ..."  The boy pleaded, the girl clasped an her with her hands at her chest to show it to Seina.

 "Is that it?"
 "Our mother is sick and we need more of this to make medicine, but ......."
 "…………Got it."  
"Let's move anyway for now."  Seina took the boy and ran,  and Kirche ran with the girl.
 "I think probably that these children are descendants of settlers, perhaps they're some kind of naturalists."

 "Naturalists?"
 "People who refuse to rebuild civilization and try to live on their own and lead self-sufficient lives, this is a place that no one would ever enter, and it is not worth much to develop, but it's good enough for people to live in it's environment."

 "Why would the pirates want to harm them ...?"
 "I don't think it's because there a threat to the Space pirates, they were probably chasing them for fun, or maybe to sell them as slaves, that's highly likely with this girl's unusual gold hair"
 "That's terrible."  Seina looked at the girl and resolved to help them.

"How long will it take to collect the herbs?" Kirche asked the boy probably reaching the same resolution as Seina.
"They grow around here, but there usually in the middle of the cliffs ... ... it's a bit hard for us to reach."
It was dangerous for them to climb the cliffs to get it but Kirche could hover.
"Oh, I found it."  Kirche said as she flew up into the sky but she could see the people aproaching from in the sky.
"Seina, two people are headed our way, you move while I pick the herbs." Kirche left the girl with Seina and started harvesting.     
--------

After seina was gone, two men on a flying plates arrived at the place with the fallen rocks.
 "There's no sign of anyone on the ship what's going on over there."
"There was a massive cliff collapse.Life signs are reading yellow.Their heart has stopped but their brain is still alive but in order to get them out, we're going to need some heavy machinery and staff from the base."

"This is Arga, someone is running away from the site! " Another person  entered the communication.
"Chhh....how troublesome, which way did he run?"  Ban said
 "I can't tell just yet, I'm scanning for him now."
 "...... Damn, so these falling rocks weren't just an accident?" The other pirate Cheika said
" I found them, he's running off with that Golden Haired Wau!"
 "Damn so Yamada escaped."
"Hold on I'm bringing a van over to you and we can use it to find him. "     
A few minutes later, Arga arrived at Ban and Cheika's location.

 "I found the foot prints of two people. Only one is Wau prints, the other must be Seina Yamada." "Ehhehe we can get both Yamada and that golden Wau!"   Cheika said happily to Arga.

 "Don't forget why the reward for him is so big, You don't want to end up like these guys and end up caught in his probability bias."
 "Did Yamada really cause this to happen?"
 "No matter how fragile these rocks are a large fall like this wouldn't happen naturally."  Arga said
 he fired a high powered blast toward the cliff.
 Falling rocks and a landslide occurred due to the shock, but it was small compared to the large-scale one seina had caused.

 "... What ... I can't believe he was able to make such a thing happen."
 "The researchers at the base say that the numerical value of his probability bias is off the charts. They can't believe that he even lives normally. "
 "Shit... maybe we should give up chasing him..."
 "Chh.... I don't care I wan't that money!Let's find them then then we will assess the situation from there"

 "Fine you go do that, I have to hurry to contact the base ... ...."
 "Wait put it off till we find them!"  
"But those guys who are buried are in danger! And Seina Yamada is dangerous!"
 "Their life readings are yellow.If they die we still have 24 hours to resuscitate them."

-----------------------------


Kirche handed the boy a large amount of medicinal herbs.
 "Thank you miss!"  
"It seems that the enemy is here."  Kirche could overheard their conversation because they were using nanomachines as repeaters to communicate over large distances, Kirche knew what they were planning to do. She was much faster then them but with the two children, her speed would have been a bit hindered
 "There is a hole  about ten kilometers from here, and if find it, you can reach our settlement underground."  While Kirche was picking herbs, Seina was listening to the boy.

 "We don't have time, I'll act as a decoy and get them off our tail."  Kirche said
 "But what if they catch you?"  
"They're after that golden haired girl and you Seina, they're on alert from seeing landslide you caused, There is a possibility that they'll shoot suddenly if they find you. "
"Then won't they do the same to you?"
 "Don't worry I will be fine and if I go into my NB form I can easily hide and I can keep hidden forever if I have to."

 "... OK, OK, fine but please don't get hurt." Seina put the girl on his back, and grabbed the boy under his arm and ran in the safest direction towards their home.
"Take care." Kirche waved and then began to deform her body.  
Arga and cheika were already on their way towards Seina, in the van.

 "This is kind of nostalgic."  Cheika said desperately trying to find traces of seina on the ground,
"I used to do a lot of hunting so I'm able to track him pretty well."
 "That's awesome. How do you do that?"
"It's always been a hobby of mine to go hunting whenever I'm on a planet. It's a skill I don't get to use much in space, but it's really useful when you're in places like this. "
 "Oh, I see. I see.... AH!  Quick turn left!" They veered left the next moment, a large stone fell next to the van.

"Fuck!" They saw a person 's shadow on the cliff where the stone came from.
"There they are!"
The shadow descended from the cliffs and landed on the ground and ran off.
"It's that Golden haired Wau!"  
"Quick! Let's get her!"  

Arga got out and started a flying disk and began to chase the golden Wau.
"What happened to two birds one stone? Where is Seina."
 "Ah! Maybe this is a decoy!"
 "It's got to be."

 "Well, the Wau child is better then nothing isn't it?"
 "Forget that girl, if we don't know where Seina Yamada is the risk is too big!"
 "But she's right in front of us ... ..."  Cheika was unable to give up his dream of getting rich quick.
"Then you can capture her by yourself."
 "Er ... um ... ... will you help me Ban?"
 "I am sorry But I'm staying with Arga, he's right." Cheika watched the wau girl running away.
"Well Fine then! Wish me luck!"  and he began to chase after her.

 Dr. Clay was given hacked access to the network in tarrant's base
"They can secure their network all they like, but It's no match for a skilled person like you."  Clay stared at the monitor  as he scanned the secret files on the network. he filtered the data and choose things that seemed interesting.

 "...... What's this!? PKW ...  a wave that permeates and damages Light Hawk Wings...hmm I heard rumors before that a royal ship was destroyed once ...   hmm but it seems like it can be negated using two or more Light Hawk Wings or by using a Light Hawk Wing with a vibration shield and it's necessary to have a planet scale ship to generate this wave in the first place... Well I think I could miniaturize this easily, but already Jurai knows it exists, I doubt they will let them selves fall victim to it again, It's still shocking that they used it once and put it in a vault to save for later. "  After the scan of the data was completed, a list of other things was displayed.

 "hmm... No I don't think any of this will do, what else can you give me, there is a certain price to pay for the services you are asking from me."

"I have access to tarrant’s main bank 
account.”

"Hah! If you put your hand into another's wallet without permission, it can cause them a lot of damage, especially an organization like this."

"JUST THINK OF IT AS A CONSOLATION FEE FROM ME
TO YOU."

"oh is that so?"

"I was abducted by him, and ever since I have been suffering spiritually, he has deprived me of my body. As he robbed 
me, I have robbed him. It's a small 
price for him to pay for what he got 
from me."

"Hah... uhuhuhu.... I see... The strong often take from the weak but it's not always a one way street."
Clay said and then he saw the amount he was being given.
"Wha...What... But this is."

 The amount of money presented there was not a frightening looking figure, but on the earth it was equivalent to tens of billions of dollars.

"Haha...Wow! That's a lot of dirty money for pirates to have."

"And it's all yours if you help   me 
make it out of here  alive."

"It's been such a long time since I last had a good laugh. I'll accept your offer, it's a deal."
Clay was in a good mood.
-------------------------------------------------

(He took the bait!)  The Golden hair Wau running in front of Arga's eyes wasn't like the one with Seina. She looked like Erma but with gold hair.

Even though they erased the personal data in NB, Kirche had a backup saved out of their reach using Erma's personal data and combining it with Amane's hair data, she made an adult golden haired Wau disguise. Of course she was naked and she noticed that arga was visibly wanting to catch her for more then just the money he would make for selling her.

"Gahahahaha!"  Arga ran after her like a beast that was completely frenzied by the smell of blood,  Kirche noticed that Seina 's bio reaction had disappeared which meant that he had found the Wau's cave.  Just to be sure, she decided to buy him a few more minute she ran towards a cliff and fell off. Arga came over the cliff and squatted to look for her. However the golden haired wau which should have fallen to the the bottom had disappeared suddenly.
