CHAP 20: Origin Revealed

I didn't have to time to be disappointed, though, i had an job to do. We continued walking to the coordinates, but this time we were more cautious, i do wonder how they knew where we were, an locator on the children? Or someone sold us out? If so, i'll make sure to deal with them. Things were uneventful after that first ambush, which mean they are either making an bigger trap, or those two were only patrolling and saw us, do the Executioners even patrol? I should've looked better at their workings, no point on crying over it now.

We arrived at the coordinates, and it was just an bunch of debris of the old Kansai, Brother started looking through the metal, and i helped him push some of it off the way, until we found an switch handle.

"We found it, thanks, Charlatan. This will open up the entrance."

"Entrance to what?"

Doctor asked.

"Zero, zero, one, zero, zero, three."

Sister responded

"That doesn't help."

"I'll show you."

He put the handle on "UP", and an bunch of light started coming off some of the debris in an circle, which started going up, revealing an big elevator.

"Zero, zero, one, zero, zero, three are subterranean coordinates."

The elevator had an eletronic sign which read "Welcome to the Exposition Park", so this is our objective, it being an underground facility shows how they managed to hide this, i wonder if Umbrella is even aware this exists?

"It must be very important if they worked so hard to hide it."

Doctor commented and i nodded, wondering what exactly is hiding inside there. The door opened up and we entered, the interior was full of lights on the walls, and there was an semi-sphere in the middle of the room which seemed to be the controls, Brother clicked on it, and it started going down, and we once again found ourselves in silence for some time.

"How long is this going to go down for?"

Doctor asked and the middle indicated we'd had arrived.

"That's some timing."

I answered.

"We'll finally see what is this mysterious destination of you two."

The door opened and we were met with an very big facility, built in a way that remembered an computer's motherboard, there were an bunch of buildings made to seem like motherboard components and in the center, an strange rocket-like structure, from my limited knowledge about rockets, there's no way that would ever fly very high.

"What's this place?"

Olivia asked an obvious question, sometimes she's smart, sometimes she's dumb.

"This is the Expo Park, and that is our objective."

He said that while pointing to the rocket-thing, please don't say they plan on escaping the aim of Kanto in that thing. We went down the deactivated rolling stairs, and started walking to the rocket, passing by an bunch of things which seemed to come out of an amusement park about space and an Jetson's-like future

"What exactly are these strange buildings?"

Olivia asked.

"They were made as an replica of an old festival."

Brother answered.

"The past must've been extravagant."

Doctor commented while she analyzed some Jetson's-like spaceships, it seems Umbrella was very capable in alienating Kansai from the rest of the world, even an smart person like Doctor is unaware of things like going to space, even if we are in the future. Not knowing the Jetsons i can understand since it was an old show even at my time, imagine right now, but they should've been aware humanity has already gone to space.

We continued, i noted Doctor analyzing an poster about achieving immortality and saying some about "every scientist having the same dream" and continuing on with us, Kansai was close to immortality? Did Umbrella destroy them for that? Makes sense, they would want to have the monopoly over that. The rocket was close, i saw that the children were really hopeful, they really plan on flying away on that old piece of metal, don't they?

We climbed up the stairs and arrived at the rocket launching place. Olivia was amazed by its size( the rocket's, you horny fucks) and was making an binoculars with her hands, it really was bigger up close. Brother ran up to an terminal and started typing in it.

"This tower is your objective? Care to tell us why is it so important?"

Doctor asked.

"Would you believe me if i said, before the war, man went to space?"

Olivia seemed bewildered by the idea, but Doctor was interested in it.

"The tower is..."

"An rocket."

I interrupted him.

Brother looked wide-eyed at me.

"You know what an rocket is, Charlatan?"

"I know many things, boy. An way to get to space, is that what you've been looking for?"

"Yes, do you know about the moon's base?"

"I'm aware of it, just as i am aware you won't reach it in this thing."

"Even then, it's our only hope. We must escape in any way we can, since we carry with us 5555 sibling's lives with us."

Hmmmm, that is interesting.

"Who exactly are you two?"

Olivia got in front of me and asked them.

"I'll tell you our history... What kind of thing we are."

"Everyday, i was tested on, they cut me up, but i always was fine, i was not the only one of me, there were an bunch of others like me, my brothers, they weren't experimented on like me, but when the the scientists ended their tests on me, i would go back to them, this routine continued, until they gave me this" He pulled out an little satchel, it was made by inexperienced people, but it was clear it was important for him "The black cat, the Professor, was made to teach us, observe us, my brothers seemed bothered for me, and wanted to talk with the director, i adverted against it, but they didn't listen, the day after, Professor came to the testing table to say the "experiment was over", i came back to my brothers, but there were none, they were all gone, the director then appeared, said something about me being the "first formed", when i asked him about the others, he said they would be "formed" with me, the floor revealed an pool full of some strange, fluorescent liquid, and i saw all my brothers" He was sniffing by now" They were all dead, all because Kanto wanted "offerings", i discovered i was made with children, 2501 children, all because of Kanto. My immortality was confirmed, and they used my brothers to "form" Sister, my 3049 brothers, dead, because Kanto wanted. Professor helped me and Sister escape, by contracting you, the Akudama, Kanto not only killed all of our siblings, but made it so that Professor sacrificed itself so we could escape, that's why they can't get their hands on us."

Goddamn, Umbrella is as cruel as ever. I understand why they are so fixated with going to the Moon now, they grew up with the idea that Kanto will always find them, that Kanto is all powerful, this rocket is literally their last hope.

"I see, you two. I've made my decision, i'll help you two, no charge."

I wouldn't lose the opportunity of getting two immortal children on my side, imagine the possibilities, they already hate Umbrella, they're just unaware of it. Two immortal soldiers, served right on my lap. Thanks, Umbrella, for making my job so easy.
