Summary: Post series AU. Eiji had always looked for ways to get Ankh back. He never thought Ankh would return to his side this way.
--------------------------
"Kob kun krub..." said Eiji gratefully as he thanked the flight attendant that helped him out before boarding the plane. Eiji sighed as he took to his seat.
Who was that guy who ran off with Ankh's broken cores? What did he want with Ankh's cores? Hopefully they did not do anything bad... if they destroyed those two broken cores, he was not sure how he could deal with that. He did not know what happened to Kazari when he disappeared, he could not imagine what Uva must have gone through before he got turned into that berserk core vessel thing.
But he still remembered that moment when Mezool disappeared, even if he did not have any feelings towards either Mezool or Gamel. Seeing how heartbroken Gamel had been during Mezool's last moments was bad enough. And he heard about what happened to Gamel from both Date and Gotou...
When Ankh had spoken his last words that time, when Ankh vanished and he only managed to grab on one broken core; it had hurt so much. It felt as if someone had thrust a big spike through his heart. Even if he used to get himself hurt in the past, those pain was not comparable to the pain he was feeling then. Losing Ankh, it was painful. His heart felt as if it could burst with all the sorrows and hurt he had felt then. It was that painful.
After realizing that Ankh's core still remained despite broken in half, somehow... it did not feel so bad anymore. Because even as a broken core, he could still feel Ankh's presence inside of the core. That gave him some hope.
But if he had to lose Ankh again this time, he was not sure he could deal with that anymore. Not being able to save him, not being able to do anything for him. Even if he would still have his other friends and families and other people that he cared by his side, that thought of him not being able to do anything for Ankh would keep on eating on him till the very last breath of his life. It would be a kind of regret that could never be erased from his heart.
Thus... he really hoped, that whoever that was that took Ankh's core; to not do anything bad towards those cores. Because until then, he would do all that he could to save what was left of Ankh's memories...

"Eh? Kougami Foundation was?"
Gotou shrugged at him as both of them took a seat inside the same eatery as he explained further. "Shingo-san was the one leading the investigation, because he felt if there was anything about the incident had any relation with... anything we've seen in the past; at least he could deal with it and not some of the other officers who have no clue about anything."
"Cell medals... huh? Did anyone else knew about this?"
Gotou shook his head. "No. The only thing that was released about the incident was that someone broke into the foundation and stole some important artefacts. Nothing was mentioned about the cell medals. Ever since the last uproar involving the Greeeds, Shingo-san felt that it would do no good if that part about cell medals made known. Although, I wonder why they took the cell medals. The other artefacts and documents relating to OOO and Greeed were still safe in the vaults though."
Eiji sighed. "So... both of you were in charge of this case, huh?"
Gotou nodded. "Yes... but why were you so concerned with this? Did something happen?"
Eiji smiled at him nervously. "Umm... actually, there was. You know that I kept Ankh's broken cores with me, right? Well... the truth is... someone stolethem from me—" Eiji immediately raised his hands to try calm Gotou down. "—don't get angry yet! I just... never expected that to happen so suddenly either. Gotou-san! Can you keep this to yourself? I don't want the others to worry yet... especially now with the cell medals involved—"
"And you think you could even hide it from me?"
Eiji jumped before turning towards Shingo in surprise. The man just smiled at him as he took a seat beside Eiji.
"So it wasn't just my feelings..."
Eiji cocked his head towards Shingo as Gotou explained. "Shingo-san had some suspicions as well about the case."
Shingo nodded weakly before turning towards Eiji.
"These few days, I occasionally had some unexplained feelings. As if there was something terrible going to happen somewhere... but I just could not place it. When Kougami Foundation have been broken in and those cell medals stolen, I immediately sensed something bad."
"But why would Kougami-san still have those cell medals?"
Gotou chuckled. "You should have that figured out already. Those cell medals was from Kougami-san's private collection, aside from the large accumulation of it that you saw before in the other vault. Plus, after the last incident they managed to recover some other remaining cells lying around the city. There was that aftermath after the giant vessel's explosion, the remains of the other Greeeds scattered around as well as the cell medals Gamel had created. Satonaka-san even said they found some cell medals in some forest! The amount was not that much, but it was still a lot of cell medals recovered. Knowing Kougami-san, he would not leave those cell medals lying around like that."
"But honestly..." Shingo suddenly spoke. "To go so far as to steal all those cell medals from Kougami Foundation.. and even to take Ankh's broken core..."
"Don't worry about it. I'll investigate about this as well. I won't let anyone do anything bad using Ankh's core."
Shingo smiled weakly at him. "Sorry to keep making you do these kinds of thing. We'll do what we can as well on our side." He sighed. "Eiji-kun, where are you going to stay for now? Or are you planning to stay at Gotou-kun's place? Or if you don't mind, you're always welcome at my place. Just that, keep this from Hina. She didn't have to know about Ankh for now..."
Eiji nodded. "Thanks. I'll keep that in mind."

He looked up towards the sky as he frowned at it. What a peculiar sight. What was this place he was in right now? Why was he here? What was he supposed to be doing here? Everything around him seemed to be so strange...
There was suddenly sounds of voices coming out of the other side of the building as he crept closer to take a look. There was a bunch of creatures walking together, laughing—to each other. They were wearing similar-looking clothes...
He turned away from looking at those creatures before noticing his own self. He stared at his hands, they were similar to those other creatures. Was he... the same as them? What are them?
"You! What are you doing wandering out by yourself?"
He jumped, before turning around.
An irate looking creature was walking towards him very fast before grabbing on his hand. He immediately pulled away as the—man—groaned loudly.
"Stop acting so clueless. We still have a lot to do!"
He blinked in confusion as he continued to stare at the man blankly.
"Where... am I?"
The man just rolled his eyes at him before dragging him back towards the other building.
