Title: After
Series: Kamen Rider Gaim
Characters: Kureshima Amagi, Jounouchi Hideyasu, Zack, Oren Pierre Alfonzo
Summary: Post ep 46. So what comes after?
A/N: Still trying to figure out things. It'll be a while before everything fit into place. Anything off or don't make sense, I am open for any suggestion to make this better.

Kureshima Amagi wheeled himself towards his desk as he sighed. “Can't believe how easily things go haywire,” He turned on his laptop as he assessed some of the records sent to him prior.
“Those politicians... so readily choosing the easy way out, resigning their posts when calamity happened. In the end, we still have to take charge and fix things. Aren't they glad that I'm not really dead?” He was silent for a moment as he read the documents. He looked up. “Have anyone sent word about the current status of Zawame?”
“JSDF confirmed there were no more signs of Inves or Helheim plants. Most of the survivors have been accounted,” said the secretary as she flipped through some other files she was holding. “We have been relocating some of the remaining populace while the workers cleaned up the city from the wreckage and destruction. Most of the infrastructures in the city were still intact; there should not be a problem to recover some functions while the city is undergoing reconstruction. We could rebuild Zawame while gradually repopulate the city at the same time. It shouldn't be a problem. Most of the destruction were centered towards the Tower. The housing areas were mostly untouched.”
Amagi nodded. “Thank you, Kikuko. As much as I hate losing most of Ygdrassil's resources and influence, Zawame is the city that I took pains to build. It'll be a shame to lose it now,” he said as he browsed through the records of the Sengoku Driver users. “How's that child?”
Moriyama Kikuko looked up from her notes in surprise. “Ah? Umm...”
Amagi turned to stare at her as she hesitated.
“Well... I managed to get him to eat a bit. But Mitsuzane didn't seem as if he was even aware of his surroundings. Whatever happened in Zawame, it affected him really badly. I caught him arguing with himself the other day. Other than that, he seemed to not want to interact with other people and shut himself inside his room.”
Amagi groaned in distaste as he got up from his desk. He wrote something on the paper and passed it to Kikuko. “I want you to find these people. They should still be under JSDF's custody. Have them meet me over here.”
“Yes...” said Kikuko before excusing herself.

“So... what are we going to do after this?”
Jounouchi looked up as he stared at Chucky, sitting crestfallen beside Peko. She glanced towards him before turning towards Peko.
“It's been a while since I last contacted my family, it'd be weird if I do it now after so long. Can we get back to Zawame after this?” she mused as Peko got up from the makeshift bed.
“Why wouldn't we? You heard what those people are saying. The Inves, all over the world—not just in Zawame—and those Helheim plants; all got sucked into those holes in the sky. There shouldn't be any reason why we can't get back after things quiet down again.”
Jounouichi frowned. “But do you even want to get back there? After everything that happened these past months,”
Peko glared back at him. “Why not? Zawame's the only home I have... and I had some memories there. I can't just... that's where Kaito... and Zack—” His voice shook as another voice broke their dark atmosphere. A hand slapped Peko's back as he turned around to look.
Zack smiled. “Finally I found you guys! You have no idea how hard I tried looking for you... with so many people in this facility.” He shrugged. “Why the glum mood?”
“ZACK!” the trio exclaimed.
“You're alive!” cried Peko as he was almost at the verge of crying. “We thought you have—”
Zack slowly maneuvered himself using his crutch before grabbing a chair to sit. “Well, Kaito didn't kill me. Despite my failure to set the bomb on him. That lady, Minato-san took it instead. The soldiers came to get me afterwards. Can't really get a view of what happened after Kaito left.” He sighed. “But seeing that we all are still here, I suppose Kouta won. I... don't want to think what that meant for Kaito,”
Peko's smile turned somber as all four of them went quiet. He stared at one of Zack's bandaged leg and tried to imagine Zack fighting Kaito. That was not a good thought.
“Non-non... what's all these sombre air? Keep your spirit up; no need to add to the depressive air.”
The four of them turned around to find Oren walking towards them with a tray of food. His eyes lighted up to see Zack as he placed the tray down on the small table beside them. “Good thing I took some extra food. You children needs the extra nutrition anyway,” said Oren as he divided the rationed food amongst them.
“Oren-san,” Jounouchi finally spoke. “Any other news?”
The older man just shrugged. “The people around aren't that talkative. Everyone was busy managing the other Zawame residents; tallying all of the survivors and trying to find each others' family members and acquaintances. The soldiers kept walking in and out I can't get any word out of them.” He sipped on his juice carton. “For now, they were all busy relocating and resettling the residents. While the workers clean-up the mess in Zawame before people were allowed to return.”
“Return to Zawame...” Chucky worded slowly. “After everything, can we still go back to living the way we used to?”
Oren clapped his hands suddenly. “Now, now... don't get down so easily. All of you are still so young after all! Now that all the danger has passed, we have all the time needed to make new plans on what we can do once we come back to Zawame. I for one would want to reopen Charmant again.”
Zack smiled. “Yeah, we had all the time now to think about the future.”
"Indeed," said Oren as suddenly he heard someone calling his name...
