Chapter 29: The Core

Girls of the Elites

The next morning, Jihyo was constantly knocking on the bedroom door "GOSH DANG IT MINA! Wake the up!"

Tzuyu and Mina woke up from the loud knocking, "oh shoot that's Jihyo.."
"Uh. Get dressed!" Tzuyu said
"Unnie! Wait a second" Mina yelled "Tzuyu, what are you going to- eh?" Tzuyu was already standing at the side of the window "I love you. I'll see you later Mina" she whispered and played a cheeky smile on her face as she jumped down "Tzuyu!" Mina followed the latter who landed on her feet "dont worry" Tzuyu pounced around and gave her the 'okay' hand signal
"Phew!"
Tzuyu ran as she kept waving to Mina and constantly made a heart with her arms. Mina smiled and shook her head with satisfaction from the latter.
"MINAAAAAAAA!" Jihyo screamed
"ARASOOOO!" Mina ran to open the door
"You lucky I did not call the demolition team to break the door!" Jihyo scoffed "oh and you got a visitor you ing sleepy head"
"Eh?"
"HEY MINA! Good-morning!" Chaeyoung popped out of the side of the door
"Oh hey Chaeyoung. Good morning" She leaned closer to Mina and grabbed her morning kiss. Mina instantly pushed her back "well yeah. Okay. I just woke up so I did not brush my teeth yet"
"It's fine." She leaned closer again and Mina instantly blocked her attempt "Nope!!" "Aww" the younger pouted
"Hey love birds! Care to be quiet, I need to take a shower, or get a room or something, dont forget you got training in 2 hours"
"Right. How bout breakfast?"
"Uh, I'll see but for now can I take a shower?"
"Yeap! I'll wait for you so we can go together at the training grounds."
"Oh I promised Tzuyu to meet her for breakfast.."
"Really? She did not mention she would be asking you out today" she hummed
"Ah well fine let's grab breakfast, wait for me at the lobby ill be there in 30mins" Mina smiled
"Okay love!" She pounced and waved at the latter
Mina shut the door and gave out a deep sigh
"You and Tzuyu are together arent you?" Jihyo spoke in a monotone
"Eh? no! What?"
"I have CCTV installed in our room"
"WHAT?! WHY!!"
"I was just kidding, you sound like you did something last night" Jihyo smirked
"No!"
"Sure!" She laughed
"Ugh"
"Oh! And if you're bringing Tzuyu here, please tell her to not leave her watch by my desk, It's just too obvious you two spent the night" she laughed
"Ughhhhh"
"Dont worry, I'll keep the secret" she winked
"Die Jihyo! We are not together!!"
Jihyo laughed hysterically

Chaeyoung was walking by the hall and towards the lobby as she sees Tzuyu running inside to the HQ
"Hey! Tzuyu, why were you up this early?"
"Uh, I went jogging"
"That's the same clothes you wore last night"
"Yeah i got up late, and went to go jogging to get ready for the training" she said casually
"The training is in 2hours dont forget"
"I wont! Imma take a shower. What are you doing here?"
"Oh right, I'm asking mina out for a breakfast date"
"Oh, okay, have fun then" Tzuyu went walking back to the hall onwards to her room.

In two hours time the training began "Girls! How was your break!" Somi smiled
"It was fun! i got to relax all day" Jisoo said
"I played games all night" Sakura added
"I ate Rose" Lisa laughed and was instantly kicked by Rose "I was kidding... OW"

"Okay, It was good to hear that, but we need to train the Elites. So any progress?"

"Uh, I taught Dahyun to use these" Yujin laughed and showed her grenades and shock mines

"I taught Chaeyoung to use my saber" Jennie pulled out her saber
"Tzuyu, well, She was good enough in using technology, but I did made her practice these" Joy showed the barrel gun

"Well then, if the Elites are ready we are good to go and attack." Somi called
"Attack? What do you mean?"

"It's been discovered that the hidden lair is underwater, however, we need to get there first." Nayeon called out

"Right, so we need to train harder at any given time we could be attacked"

"She is right.. so Keep doing what you do." Nayeon waved and walked out of the room with Jihyo. "By the way, Hitomi? I need you here, Sakura and Nako too follow me"

"Okay" they synced in response

"Here" Nayeon dropped Momo's core on the table
"Examine it and tell me what you find"
"Momo's core? Doesn't she need this?" Hitomi asked
"She doesn't. Because that's not Momo." Jihyo said
"What do you mean." Sakura asked

"We found Momo wondering around the HQ weirdly last night, she was walking around Miss IU's office ruffling through the documents." Jihyo then started the flashback

"hey, isn't that Momo?" Nayeon said to Jihyo who was constantly stuffing with chocolate muffin

"uhh yeah I think? I am not sure, but why is she heading there?"

"That's.. IU's office isnt it?"

"Yeah" Jihyo gulped her muffin and dusted her palms "should we follow?"

"I guess?"

Jihyo and Nayeon walked slowly around the corner and saw Momo staring into the door weirdly. "Is.. she moving?" Jihyo whispered

"shh.. she'll hear us.." They both stared by the corner anticipating her next move. They carefully waited in the dark corner

"Why is she walking around in the middle of night? It's like what 2 am.." Jihyo feared

"again Jihyo! hush.. she could just be listening to us.."

"but she is not even moving... it's been minutes Nayeon.." Jihyo fidgets around

"hush.. she could b-" Nayeon was suddenly interrupted by a small voice coming out from Momo "This should be easy" Momo mumbled

"what's easy?" Jihyo thought "and what is with that scary monotone voice"

"Omg Jihyo... just observe.."

"ugh" Jihyo scoffed in fear as Momo slowly reaches up for the door and began to look around. Momo turned slowly to the left... and slowly to the right. Nayeon's eyes widened as she saw Momo's eyes glow red and instantly hid by the corner

"What.. the.."

"That scared me..." Jihyo panted

"let's take a closer look.."

"No...no..nuhuh! nonononononono.." Jihyo shook constantly as Nayeon moved forward leaving her in the corner "OMG! listen to me WOMAN!" She silently screamed in her head "ugh!" she scoffed and crawled towards Nayeon

"What is she doing?" Nayeon thought

"Probably figuring a way to kill us.. yes.." Jihyo answered

"Shut it.."

As they watch Momo try to go around the room slowly looking around. "She looks like she was scanning the room?"

"I wonder what she needed.." Nayeon squinted as she sees Momo open her chest and pulled out a USB trying to access the computer

"Well? What else do you need?"

"who is she talking to?" Jihyo bothered

"HUSH! JIHYO!" Nayeon began to to look back through the window and Momo is gone. "No.. where did she go?" Nayeon's eyes widened.

"Looking for me?" Momo popped behind her "What!" as Momo smirked with glowing red eyes and began to grab onto Nayeon's and Jihyo's Neck "Now what are you two doing out in the middle of the night" she said

"M-Momo.. it hurts.." Nayeon choked as Momo continued to grip them harder and lifted them centimeters off the ground. Nayeon and Jihyo were trying to get out of her hard grip but sadly could not reach her. Their vision is going dark and their eyes were slowly closing as air could not pass through their lungs. Nayeon's eyes began to blur in the vision of Momo's devilish smile until - for some odd reason- Momo released her grip and was completely shut down.

"Are you guys okay?" A familiar voice called out to them as they cough out for air "S-Somi! Thank god you're here.."

'Yeah.. heck, what is going on?"

"Momo.. she went ballistic.." Jihyo shivered in fear

"Well, she was different.. We followed her.." Nayeon coughed "anyway, why are you awake?"

"well, i was gonna go grab a glass of water, till i hear faint screams from the hall way.."

"Thank god for that.."

'Yeah, well better get rid of that. something tells me.. that is not Momo.."

"Yeah.." Nayeon hesitantly agreed

"here.. take it." Somi reached out and handed out the core. "I'm going back to sleep.."

"What about Momo?.."

"Well, I am not good with machines.. so, I guess you can find it out from the Alphas or something?" Somi waved walking away with a slight smirk on the corner of her lips as she turned around.

Nayeon sighed and looked at Momo with disappointment

"Wassup?" Jihyo asked

"Everything is just so confusing..." Nayeon ruffled her hair "Very confusing.."

"We might get answers too, for now, We gotta bring her to the lab... rather than leaving her here.. uh dead.."

The girls brought Momo to the lab laying down on the bed. "WELL?! If she isnt MOMO then where the heck is MOMO!!" Nayeon slammed the table

"How should I know.."

"First we figured out Jeongyeon is Missing.. and Now MOMO!.. We don't even have any lead!! we dont even have... not even one clue!" Nayeon frustrate as she ruffles her hair about. "UGH!!!"

"Well.. that's what happened" Nayeon explained "and I am really mad at myself because we couldnt even figure out this god damn situation.. It's been months in the case, and not even a good lead! I really hope you figure it out.. that's the only choice."

"Seems like a generic replica though.. Like your prototypes" Jihyo added
"Yeah but you cant replicate that unless you get the parts from Japan."
"Exactly why I want you three to figure this out. Since you are the only ones qualified to know these type of machines" Nayeon spoke and Jihyo brought Momo in as she lay down on the bed
The three girls circled the table and began working on the core and Momo, figuring out the type of generic she is.

"That's odd.." Hitomi spoke
"Eh?" Sakura peaked
"No way" Nako gasped
"Why is this here?" Hitomi pulled out a small vile from Momo's chest
"What is that?"
"It's a gene generator.." Sakura explained "It can make any android, humanoid, cyborg.. you name it exactly as the human you want it to be."
"In short, This was create by the Yakuzas to help dead people seemed to come back to life with both their gene, emotion, heart, over all human of that dead person" Hitomi added
"How does it work?" Jihyo asked
"All you need to do is put a sample of blood over to this vile, and It'll generate it's appropriate, genes, memories, everything about that person as if it came back to life." Nako explained
"The Yakuzas created this technology to return their loved one back to life, It wasn't fully tested since it still runs on beta, our research of the DNA enhancer for our weapons came from this technology, but the memories and over all human is just complicated.. so we only used the generator making it useful for people who are actually alive to create weapons using their blood." Sakura added
"The Yakuzas are the most smartest.. evil genuises that ever lived in Japan. Their brains are much more advance than everyone else. heck I heard they can make a machine run like your own DNA of blood. making you control it however you like.. ugh.. thinking about the Fearless Yakuzas gives me the goosebumps.. THEY ARE OVERALL DEMONIC..." Hitomi shivered to her explanation
"No matter what! we must stay away from a YAKUZA.. with that Demonic Clan.. ORS is just a spec of dust..." Sakura hoped
"Yeah but that still doesnt explain why is that vile there.. and who made it.." Nayeon reiterated
"it wasn't released yet, so it is quite impossible to get this technology unless you used the ones we created, yet ours could not replicate an actual human being.." Nako added
"How was that there then?" Jihyo walked towards them examining the green vile generator
"You can only get this in Japan.. and only in Japan." Sakura added.

"So, the lead we have that this creator .. is Japanese am I right?" Nayeon hummed
"It can be, we are not sure, but if you can only get it in Japan and must be Japanese to get their technology correctly, You must be.. because to understand how it works, You must be really good in understanding our language" Hitomi said
"As long as it is not a Yakuza Clan... We are safe.." Sakura shivered
"I doubt a Yakuza would stay in Corona.." Nako reassured
"I hope so.. because if in case.. We are just overall dead!" Sakura ruffled her hair

"Calm down Kkura! a Yakuza will go ALL OUT.. This humanoid is like a research paper or just like an ordinary us.." Nako laughed

"Why does my gut says that MiSaMo's incident is not a separate situation" Nayeon hummed
"Seems like everything should connect very clearly.. and Momo as a generic, is a greater lead." Jihyo added
"Right, work on that, and we'll be back for you. Please dont trust anyone besides me and Jihyo."
"Roger that miss Im" the three Japanese girls replied

"Even .. Somi.." Nayeon added

"Eh.. speaking of Somi.." Sakura thought which alerted the girls

"Yerim seemed to know something about Somi, however, the girls had.. been observing.. She.. well.. looks different.." she explained

"What do you mean?"

"i just don't really know how to explain it, but Chaeyeon and I, felt weird.."

Nayeon hummed and squinted "Very well, carry on.. We'll figure it out.."

The training ended around 6 in the evening, the girls began to puff and breathe heavily.
"Okay.. so.. am I done?" Dahyun breathed
"Yes babe, you are. Good job" Sana laughed and hugged the latter
"You are lucky I wanted to save you with all my life, or else I wouldn't be doing this.." Dahyun breathed
"I love you!" Sana kissed Dahyun

Chaeyoung saw the latters and began cringing "get a room!"
"You get a room with Mina" Dahyun laughed
"Oh shut up" she scoffed and began tying her shoe laces.
"Hey! Mina! Wanna walk in the park?"
"Uh.." just before Mina could answer, Tzuyu walked behind Chaeyoung "I actually asked her to go star gazing with me tonight"
"Ohyou did? Dang it" Chaeyoung pouted
"Well can I kiss her goodbye then?" She looked up at the latter, yet Tzuyu did not answer but looked away
"Well I will take that as a yes"
"EH?!" Mina gasped as Chaeyoung leaned over to kiss her once again "I'll see you tomorrow then my love. I love you" she pounced away
Mina furrowed, wiped her lips and her eyes were shooting daggers onto the latter who still has her vision looking away
"Well?!" Mina crossed her arms, but Tzuyu still remained quiet looking the other way. "Ugh! Okay then!" Mina tip toed and grabbed Tzuyu's face as she kissed her. "THERE!" She pushed her away. "I'm fine now"
Tzuyu chuckled. "Cute" she mumbled
"What?"
"Nothing, come on, let's go." Tzuyu held her hand and lead her outside for some fresh air.

Mina was once again sitting on Tzuyu's lap as she was being hugged by her lover "sometimes just being like this is just amazing"
"Yeah" Tzuyu replied
Mina kissed her lover softly and gently "I love you Tzuyu" she pulled and stared at her with a smile "I love you too Mina" she smiled complete with dimples.
"Gah! You are so adorable!" Mina hugged her tightly
"Mina! I cant-"
"Oh sorry! I Just missed you!" She pouted and let go. Tzuyu coughed and inhaled
"I am here.." Tzuyu laughed "I could just do this all day! With you."
They both laughed under the silent night.
"Oh! Right, I got you something, I hid it back in my room. Let me take it"
"No! Dont go Tzuyu"
"I'll be back I promise"
"Fine" Tzuyu stood up and kissed her lover "I'll be back my love" and she left

Mina was left alone under the dark as she waits for her lover to return. Suddenly a dark shadow appeared by the corner of the building
"Well done Mina, however, I would prefer you to fall for Chaeyoung instead" a familiar voice called out to her.
"Huh? Who are you? Show yourself"
"Aww you want to see me?"
Mina's brow furrowed as she squinted to see the man by the corner. The man walked towards the moon light. And Mina gasped with tears flowing to see who it was.

"How are you little sister" He said with a wicked smirk in his face "Missed me?"
