Energon: The Beginning of Everything
Chapter 12, The Past

L'm... I don't know shit.... I was suddenly pushed by my own father... into a black hole...? When I realized I was already in this world... I'm afraid. somebody help me!

Suddenly Hanabi woke up panting.

"Nightmare?" Said Sky beside him.

Sora

Hanabi immediately saw it quickly and then lowered her head.

"... That's so...".

Sky took the food he had prepared on the table beside the bed and gave it to Hanabi.

"Can you eat by yourself?",

"I-I guess...".

Hanabi took out her plate and subconsciously nearly dropped it.

"Ah—!".

Sky Mo reflex took it and fortunately had time.

"... Huff.... Just barely... Know it? you don't have to force yourself like that.",

"Sorry.", though...",

"... Well it's your nature. I'll feed you this time until I can eat myself.",

"M-babying?!",

"Why?",

"T-no... It's just.", though...",

"Thy? Sorry I'm not ashamed of it.",

"Me! I'm ashamed!",

"Why?",

".... Duh! Sky is insensitive!",

"....Huh uh?".

After that, everything was silent for a moment. Sky sighed then spoke.

"As promised after you wake up you will tell me everything, including your 'sakura' eyes.",

"... Ja...".

Sky looked at Hanabi silently then closed his eyes.

"Forget it.",

"...Uh?", uh?",

"You haven't fully recovered. Removing those strange eyes must have taken a lot of energy to the point of not being able to hold a plate right?",

"But...",

"Just calm. You're not even ready to tell me, are you? You don't fully trust me.",

"No! I—!",

"There is no need to force yourself, everything is clearly visible on your face.",

"....",

"Honestly I'm curious half to death, but I can be patient if I have to.",

"....".

Silent moment. Suddenly Hanabi broke the silence.

"I... Not from this world..",

"....".

Sky Mo looked at him silently as if he already knew it.

"I don't know where I come from... That's it.", though.",

"Hanabi.?" -...?",

"... Wasn't... It's just my pseudonym...",

"... Heh... stupid, right..? Disassemble his own disguise to the person he has just known... But let... Nothing else matters...",

"....",

"... Hey, Sora... What am I supposed to do..?",

".... What do you mean?",

"What do I do...? I don't know anymore... I.. fear... I don't want to be alone.", though...",

"... Then come with me.",

"Where...?",

"Wherever I go, always by my side.",

".... And then?",

"Then? You asked for more?... Hmm, I will make you acceptable. Maybe not in this world but you know what I mean, right? And slowly we'll also find out your past, about your eyes, your origin, your parents. everything.",

"You want to do that for me?".

Sky Mo tilted his head and stared in wonder towards 'Hanabi', after all',

"of course. What else for?... You can make additional knowledge. That's enough to be a plus for me.",

"...".

Hanabi opened her lips subconsciously and looked at Sky like a light she had always been looking for in her life.

"There's nothing to lose here, you got what you wanted and I got what I wanted. All good, all happy. How's it?",

"... Is it okay..?",

"What?",

"You have your own purpose....",

"Ah, you're right. I'll focus on that first new to your past. I still have a lot of time but I'll finish it soon.",

".... Thanks...".

Sky looked at Hanabi in surprise.

"Make what?",

"Because you're willing to help me...",

"I did it for your own sake, and again you have also trained me with this I am ready to enter the field.",

"But still...".

Hanabi smiled beautifully towards Sky Mo, there was no burden in her smile. Truly a sincere smile, pure from his heart.

"Thank you... Sora...".

Sky saw that smile, and suddenly remembered his long-lost mother.

(I admit it. The most beautiful smile I've ever seen in my life and maybe I can't find it again.).

Sky instantly came to a realization from his past memories. And smile straight away.

"If so directly, for what we will do now... Hanabi—",

"Takaostory.",

"... Ha?", huh?",

"Takao, my real name.",

"Takao... was taken from the mountains of Takao huh?",

"Eh? Ah— I guess...",

"You don't know?".

Takao shook his head.

"... Unknowingly you just gave the clue where you came from.",

".... Yoda...",

"For now we focus on my problem first. 6 months away, we should be given permission to go directly to the field, and the target is my father's old lab, Shinto Lab, Nagasaki Japan.".
