Chapter 24: An Unusual Partnership

Isis POV

Some time after I leave Beacon, I can't call that place home anymore. I drive my motorcycle through the city.

Isis:*sigh* What am I fighting for anymore?

I saw Junior's bar, and decided to go in to have a drink.

At least that will get my mind off of this.

Neo POV

Horus was drinking with me

Neo: [So how you been, Horus.]

Horus: Not good, thing aren't going well, you could say.

Neo: [Would you mind telling me?]

Horus: *sigh* It's kinda personal.

Neo: [It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.]

He drink again, this is his firth bottle already.

Neo: [Hey why don't we play a little game, that will get you mind off your problem for a bit.]

Horus: Sure.

Neo: [Great, how about truth or dare?]

Horus: Sure.

We then go to one of the VIP room.

Neo: [truth or dare]

Horus: Dare.

Neo: [I dare you to finish this bottle with one breath.]

Horus: Easy enough.

I give him the bottle as he finished it with one breath, I smirk looking at him, he really are impressive.

Horus: Alright then. Trust or dare?

Neo: [Truth]

Horus: Why are you sad?

What?

Horus: Today when I came, you where drink and crying, when I approached you, you wipe your tear and act like nothing happen. So what happens?

He knew... Guess there is no point in hiding it now.

Neo: [The thing is... My fiance, he cheated on me with multiple girl. I remember the day he proposed to me, I was so happy. I just found out he been having an affair for mouth already, so I came here to drink trying to get him out of my head. And then you came... Isis.]

Horus: What? Ugh.

The drug had take it effects, now is my chance.

I quickly pin him down to the bed.

Isis POV

Isis: So you knew?

Neo: *nodded*

Isis: I see, so you drug me and now you are going to kill me.

Surprisingly Neo shake her head and let go of me.

Isis: What?

Neo: [I won't kill you]

Isis: Why? You do realize who I am right?

Neo: [I know, Isis Lost, the younger brother of Seth, a throne in a lot of criminal eyes. Kamen Rider Lost]

Isis: If you knew that much, then that mean-

I was cut off, she shake her head and show me her sign

Neo: [No, only I know about you, they don't know anything]

Isis: Why?

Neo: [Simple, I was betrayed by the men that I love, now I want revenge]

Isis: Okay so you want me to ruin his plan or something?

Neo: [They will attack Vale when the tournament was about to end]

Isis: I see, so you will be there?

Neo: [Yes that was what I was told, and also there is something that I want from you first before I could let you go]

Isis: What it's?

Her face turn red

Neo: [The drug that I used on you, do you feel anything hard?]

Isis: ... You really want to do that?

Neo: [Hey! It's for revenge and what better way that doing it with you, Roman number 1th enemy. And beside you aren't bad looking either]

Her face look so red and kinda seductive looking down at my part.

I maybe a little drunk but I still could tell that she is being honest. Her expression, her emotions, even her body language fit her story and there is no lie in her words.

Isis: Find then.

Neo: [Great and for the record this will be our secret, our relation will be nothing more then friend with benefits. If we meet in the battlefield we are enemy]

Isis: Same.

She smiled as she lean in to me, we started making out.

I had enough already, the feeling of love that I once have burn to ash, the bond between friends corrupted by power, the family I once love killed by their own member. I sick of it, I don't care anymore.

And just like that a relationship between a wanted criminal and a detective was form.

From the soul purpose of using each other, we where no more than tool to each other.

The next day

I walk up with Neo next to me still sleeping, she is definitely tired after I do her nonstop for 8 hours straight.

I look to the clock, so it only been 8:35 AM, so I got around 4:30 of sleep.

I then look at her scroll seeing the message Roman send her, saying their time to attack, it was the same time that she told me. I also find a picture of her and him holding hand wearing engagement ring.

Isis: So you weren't lying after, I should tell this to the police, it will help out a lot.

I then took one last glance at her, she is sleeping so peacefully. No this is no time for that, you don't have all day Isis.

I then leave the room, pay for everything then leave.

This isn't right...

At the police station

COP: What!? You are saying that Vale will be attack!?

Isis: Yes, right after the Vytal Festival final match ended, the attack will began.

COP: Are you sure about this?

Isis: *sigh* Unfortunately, yes.

COP: But how? Where did you get this information?

Isis: You could say I have someone on the other side is giving me a hand.

COP: Interesting a spy.

I stand up and was about to walk out

Isis: Oh, I almost forgot, I work alone now.

COP: What? What about your two friends?

Isis: Put them as their individual group, or something. I don't care.

COP: Well if you have someone from the other side helping you, you aren't actually alone.

Isis: Oh and keep this a secret for me, I don't want anyone else knowing about this.

COP: Well you have my word, I won't tell anyone about this helper of your, not even you old teammates.

Isis: Thank.

I then walk out.

Isis: What should I do now? Why am I even asking myself.

I continue to walk until a girl with black hair in a twin tail, and brown eyes came to me and suddenly grab my hand holding it.

Isis: Uhh, can I-

Our eyes meet, sending a familiar feeling to me. This had to be Neo in disguise, the sense of strawberry shampoo on her, just like the one from last night.

Isis: So, do you want to go to a cafe or something?

Her expression look surprised before turning into a smirk, then a smile and nodded.

We are currently sitting in a cafe, she order a Sunday while I order a Cappuccino. I take a sip enjoying it, I look at Neo, who enjoyed her Sunday have her cheek stuff like a hamster.

She look kinda cute, I don't know if that was me thinking or it because I feel pity of her, being betrayed by the one she love with all her heart, the one that she trust, the one that is really close, to her...

The more I think about it, she is just like me.

Broken and lost in live.

She then look at me, waving her hand infront of me, breaking me out of my thoughts.

Neo: [Are you okay?]

Isis: Sorry, I was just lost in thought that's all.

Neo: [Oh I see, you wanted more, he can go to that hotel that we passed by, I will be waiting.]

Isis: No that's not it.

Neo: [You don't have to act shy, I know how strong you can hit and how long.]

Isis: *sigh* What ever, so what you want to talk about, or you just want a free Sunday?

Neo: [Yes and I want to tell you about Roman base of operation]

Isis: Go on.

Neo: [He is working with the White Fang, I'm pretty sure you know about them.]

Isis: I do.

Neo: [You know what to do make him pay]

So she have fallen into revenge while I fall into isolation.

Wait.

Isis: Neo, do you use a Gaia Memory?

She shake her head and pull out her Gaia Memory, it was Cyclone, the same as mine. Gaia Memory are attached to the person that's most compatible with it.

Isis: How did you get that?

Neo: [Well it kinda a long story]

Neo POV

Flashback

It was around 10 years ago, while I was still only 9 years old.

My parents talk me to a museum inside their where a lot of historical creature there, well remnant of them.

Neo: Mother look a dinosaur.

I was just a innocent kid back then think the world is full of rainbow and fairy tail with happy ending.

Suddenly the museum started shacking as the ground break making the building fall apart crush the people inside. By some luck I survived while I watch as my parents get crushed under the falling debris and rubber, I was trap there.

I cry out for help but no one came, until a boy that look tobe 7 or 8 show up, he help pull me out of the rubble.

???: Don't worry, I will get you out of here.

He said full with confidence and determination in his voice, this give me hope, he then give me the Cyclone Gaia Memory it was like away to say that he will always be by my aidet. Oh boy was I wrong.

Some guy in white suit show up and kidnapped him, then W show up. I saw they fight for a bit until I saw him, he was throw into some kind of pit with glowing green light coming out.

X: You're too late! The boy will become a perfect vessel for the new Avatar.

W: Bastard!

I was so shock by that experience I just run out of there, knowing that some random guy just show up and throw him to his dead, like that. I don't know what to do, I just keep on running and running.

After sometime I became homeless, I knew the Gaia Memory can sell for a large amount of money but I didn't. He give this to me as a sign of hope. I won't sell it.

Flashback end

Neo: [Since I never use it, I just keep it as a lucky charm since then.]

I just finished my story and look to see Isis holding his head, I then poke him a little bringing him out of his thoughts.

Neo: [Hey are you okay?]

Isis: I'm fine, just remember something that all. I gonna go.

He put money on the table cover the bill and walk off, not even finishing his drink.

Strange, I then continue to eat my Sunday... Wait I haven't tell him the location yet!
