2 Third
Ada's POV
"You can't find the third Matrix?" I asked
"It's impossible to find it. We literally scanned billions of earths but nothing has shown up." sighed Kurt
"How else can search for the Matrix?" asked Lydia
"Can Thunderbird or Phoenix do that?" asked Kishimoto
"We can but we're going to have to be on that planet." replied Thunderbird
"Only if I'm on the planet." I repeated
"That's tough." sighed Kishimoto
"Can't the Matrix find the Matrix?" asked Aneko
I turned and looked at her.
"Please don't tell me you're suggesting we release Ryu." I said
Aneko raised an eyebrow.
"Uhh yeah what else would I be talking about?" questioned Aneko
"Aneko you can't let your personal-"
"It's not personal. Sir." snapped Aneko, cutting off Kurt
"You are tough." I implied
Aneko rolled her eyes and turned away from me.
"Isn't it the only way?" asked Aneko
Kurt thought about it and nodded.
"We'll only use him for this problem." said Kurt
He grabbed his radio and dialed in.
"Bring Ryu here." he said into the radio
"Sir, are you sure?" replied a voice
"I'm sure." replied Kurt
"Okay sir." sighed the voice
Kurt put the radio away and sighed.
"Aneko, you're going on another mission." said Kurt
"Huh? But you said that I'm on break for another two weeks." said Aneko
"Shit is happening and we're-"
"Never mind I'll go after Ryu gets here." said Aneko
Aneko took a seat and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
"Why are you rolling your eyes?" growled Aneko
"For a reason that's why." I snapped
"Why you little prick." growled Aneko as she stood up from her seat.
"Oi oi Aneko let's calm down." said Kishimoto, breaking us up.
The doors opened and 8 Seekers came in with Ryu. Ryu was in handcuffs and he looked really tired.
"Ryu sorry for the interruption but we do have a request." said Kurt
Ryu yawned and nodded.
"Can you help us find the Matrix?" asked Kurt
Ryu raised an eyebrow.
"Did someone steal it?" he asked
"No, we think that there's a third one." said Kurt
"A third one?" questioned Ryu
"When you sliced the Matrix it split up into three. One went into you, the second in the cube, the third to someone else." said Kurt
"Where the hell did you learn that?" asked Ryu
"Aerin said that she had a vision about that." said Kurt
Ryu looked at Kurt and sighed.
"Okay then." said Ryu
"He knows Kurt's lying." said Thunderbird
'I figured.'
His left eye began to glow bright blue and the circles in his eyes began to spin slowly. After about 30 seconds he closed his eyes and when he opened them it was back to normal.
"I felt a weak signal but I wasn't able to pinpoint who but I was able to pinpoint the earth." said Ryu
"Where?" asked Kurt
Ryu's POV
I sighed and I couldn't believe this was happening. Why my Earth out of every other earth?
"Ryu, where?" asked Kurt
"My Earth." I replied
Kurt sighed and nodded.
"Okay thank you." he replied
I glanced at Ada then at Aneko and they both seemed to be glaring at each other.
"Was that all?" I asked
"Yes that was all." he replied
"Okay then." I sighed
"Wait, Kurt let me ask you something." said Aneko
She got up from her chair and put her hands in her jacket pockets.
"My mission is to find whoever has the other Matrix right?" she asked
"Yea it was." said Kurt
"Then I want to bring Ryu along." she said
"Eh?" I questioned
"I don't know how that world functions so I'm going to need someone who does." she said
"You have your AI." implied Kurt
"Yea but people are going to fucking freak out when they see it." said Aneko
"Aneko enough you're not bringing Ryu." said Kurt
"So you want me to stay in Ryu's earth for who knows how long." said Aneko
"Yes precisely." said Kurt
"Oi oi wait." I interrupted, "Can I uhh talk to her privately?"
Everyone eyed each other.
"I'll take that as a yes." I sighed
I led Aneko somewhere private and I grabbed her arm.
"What are you trying to do?" I asked
"What? I don't want to be stuck there for years." replied Aneko
"Okay but why are you bringing me? Take my mom and dad." I replied
"I don't even know them." she replied, sounding annoyed, "I'm not doing this because of my love for you. I'm doing this because I don't want to be stuck there."
"Aneko I don't think it'll be safe for us to be together." I said, "I can't even guarantee you I can track them down."
Aneko groaned and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Fine, I'll go by myself." she groaned
I scanned her emotions and she was feeling sad and mad about this.
"Wait Aneko I-"
I grab her arm but she jerks away from me.
"Stop it." she snapped
I felt guilty again but Aneko turned and looked at me.
"I guess I'll see you in a couple years." she said
Before I could respond she left me. I groaned and just hit my head on the wall.
'You idiot.'

2 hours later
Ryu's POV
I've been laying on the bed for literally 2 hours just staring at the ceiling. Aneko left without saying bye and now I've just been thinking about her for the past 2 hours.
"Ryu."
I sat up and saw my parents out there.
"Oh, hey mom and dad." I bluntly replied
"How are you holding up?" asked my dad
"I'm fine." I sighed
I took out a cigarette and started smoking.
"You should stop smoking." worriedly said my mom
"I'm fine, I can't get cancer or get sick from it." I replied
"I heard what happened to you. Are you okay?" asked my dad
"I'm fine, something just happened." I replied
"I see. How many years do you have to stay here?" asked my dad
"Probably another 50 years." I replied
My mom looked worried and my dad looked sad.
"Oi mom, I didn't tell you this 4 years ago." I said
My mom knows Hannah but she doesn't know I met her 4 years ago so I decided to tell her since I forgot to tell her.
"So 4 years ago, I went back to our earth and I met Hannah." I said
"Oh really? Did you guys catch up?" asked my mom
"Yes we did." I lied
I lied because I didn't want my mom to know the real reason why I went looking for her.
"I heard that someone else may also have the Matrix." said my mom
"Yea that's true. Aneko went looking for that person." I said
"Why didn't you go with her?" asked my mom
"I wasn't allowed to." I replied
"But you used to live there. You know how the world works and all that." said my dad
"I know but I wasn't allowed." I lied
'More like I rejected it.'
After talking to my parents a bit more they left and I flopped back onto my bed. I began to think about Aneko and how she might be in trouble.
"Geez I should have just agreed." I sighed
I got up and looked at the camera and using my Matrix I hypnotized the person watching it from the other end.
"Tell Kurt that I'm leaving." I ordered the person I hypnotized
And with that I created a portal on the floor behind me and I fell backwards. I went through the portal and I was now falling down towards my Earth. It was night time and I was falling down towards some kind of forest so I used my Matrix to scan for Aneko and found her hiding at the base of a mountain. I flew towards her using my wind augmentation, I landed right next to her and she gasped when she saw me.
"Sorry I came uninvited." I said while smiling
"Ryu what the fuck? What are you doing here? Did Kurt allow you to come?" she asked
"No, I just came." I replied
"Ryu you're going to get more years in prison." said Aneko
"And you're going to be here longer." I replied, "I can't continue staying in jail without having you around."
Aneko sighed and looked away.
"Ryu, you have to stop leading me on." she sighed
"Leading you on? What do you mean?" I asked
"You like Demon yet you continue to make my love for you grow." she replied
"Oh, I see." I sighed
"You still like Ada. I don't want to interfere with that." she said
I looked down at the dirt and sighed.
"Well I still came to help you." I said
"Yea, sure. Thanks." she replied
It was silent, it wasn't awkward, it was just silent.
"Let's go find a place to sleep." said Aneko
"Well I might as well just make a place." I said
I used my Matrix and a cabin began to build in front of us using the trees around us. Aneko's eyes widened as I got everything done, a neat clean cabin with two rooms, a kitchen, a living room, functioning bathroom, working electricity, heater, cooler and internet.
"Whoa..." awed Aneko
I opened the door and entered the cabin, I took off my shoes and sat on the couch.
"What are you going to do without me?" I teased Aneko
"Oi I can do well even without your help." snapped Aneko
"Okay okay sorry." I backed up
"Are you hungry? I'll make something." said Aneko
"Oh you know how to cook?" I questioned
"I've been living for more than 200 years. Obviously I know how to cook." she replied
"Oh okay, is there anything I can do?" I asked
"Think of something to tell Kurt." replied Aneko
I created this spell that would make the cabin invisible to everyone's eyes except for me and those who are in here. I leaned back on the couch and turned on the TV and the first thing that popped out was the news.
"Now for our music section, the famous girl kpop group Miracle is now second in the charts. They may have been ranked 2nd but their song has hit number one in every music app and other places." said the news reporter
My eyes slightly widened when I saw a picture of Hannah and 5 other girls.
"Oi isn't that Hannah?" questioned Aneko
"Yea." I replied
That's when the screen switched and now Hannah and her kpop members were sitting on chairs with another news reporter. They were busy interviewing and I wasn't really paying attention until the reporter asked this one specific question.
"Is there anyone who's dating someone right now?" asked the reporter
"Oh Hannah is." said a member
"Ohh Hannah who are you dating?" asked the reporter
"Oh I'm dating a friend I knew since elementary school." said Hannah
"Oh really? That's such a surprise." said the reporter
I grabbed the remote and turned off the TV and Aneko raised an eyebrow.
"Why did you turn it off?" she asked
"I don't want to hear her talking about Nikolo." I sighed
Aneko looked at me.
"Did you like her as well?" she questioned
I scoffed in amusement.
"No, never did. She left me, I forgot about her for the rest of my life until now." I sighed
"I see, what do you want to eat?" asked Aneko
"Uhh what do you want?" I asked
"I just want some hamburgers." she replied
I laughed and she glared at me.
"What are you laughing at?" she growled
"Nothing nothing sorry, I thought you were on some strict diet since you're buff-"
"I am buff." she admitted as she showed me her rock hard abs.
"Stop flexing, you're making me feel like a twig." I said in disappointment
I lifted up my shirt and looked at my stomach and I barely had abs.
"So uncool." grumbled Aneko
I felt a bit degraded and I just lowered my shirt and turned away.
"You don't have to attack me like that." I mumbled
