Aki: alright everyone let's go to the fireworks show
Asuka: i guess me, Ai, Fuji and Anna will stay at the HQ
Yuki: eh c'mon why can't you come with us ?
Yuta: yeah then complain why our playcheck got denied, Yuki
Aki: guess then see ya guys we'll buy some gifts for you
Ai: bye
After that they headout outside the hotel and to go to watch fireworks as Ai, Asuka, Fuji and Anna get in the parking lot as Asuka drove out a big sleek SUV, the three of them looked in shock
Aiv where'd you get that ?!
Asuka: you know...the advantage of having higher income
Anna: she's just flexing at this point
Fuji: what can we expect anyways
They entered the vehicle as the drive around the city as the skyscraper were everywhere they reached their HQ which was at a tall building as they entered the building, the inside was full of workers working on their computer as they saw boards about element energy, some people in handcuffs, hybrids photo on the wall
Fuji: woah.... that's huge
They reached a large room as Asuka told them to use their ID card and enter a room
Asuka: so this is where we'll work
Ai: what's the work we're gonna do ?
Asuka: so we've got some intel that Project Arean is related with this black smoke as Haoyu told us that they were building factories in China outrageous in China, so our job is to collect photos of them, get interviews of the employees which Project Arean fired because they violated their policy and research the sample tissue of people injured by the black smoke
Ai: wait what's even Project Arean? And who's Haoyu ?
Anna: Project Arean is basically an organisation that does research in elementz just like our O.R.G.A.N.I.S.A.T.I.O.N but they just failed most times and have reports of suspicious activity they're violent and can kill us if we interrupt their research and Haoyu is a researcher in Project Arean, he's a friend of ours, we told him about the black smoke but he said he don't know anything
Asuka: didn't Aki told you about all this ?
Ai shook her head
Asuka: sigh that guy
Fuji: wait Asuka how are you so sure if Project Arean is involved? I mean it could be misinformation?
Asuka: who knows ? Plus their soldier have spotted in the site of the black smoke
Ai: ohhh
Asuka: alright now Ai, you and me are gonna do research and Fuji and Anna you two will collect photos and interviews
They nodded and cut to Fuji Anna in a port at night as they were hiding on top of a crane and taking pictures
Anna: it seems like they're doing a deal
Fuji: isn't that white dress guy the army genral ?
They accidentally dropped an piece of screws as the soldiers in the ground got alert and shoot where they were but scene cut to them on the ground quietly and sighed after the soldiers stop firing.
We see Ai ans Asuka in the room researching the tissues
Ai: oh interesting, it seems that the tissue is boiled at high temperature and it severely burned the skin
Asuka: plus it didn't allow blood to flow
Ai: could it be fire element ? i mean they also don't make blood to flow when cut
Asuka: i don't think so since fire element burns don't boil the tissue they just burn it
cut to
Fuji and Anna at a old house of an old man as he smoke
Fuji: so um let's start the interview
he said as he turned on the recorder and camera were around the room as the faint glow of a bulb above them shine as Anna was holding book and pen to write
Fuji: ok so you said Project Arean fired you for violating their terms and conditions as they said in their website
The old man: it's false, i was once a researcher in this odd project
Fuji: odd project?
The old man: they said to start a crematory and to collect the smoke from the burnt bodies and collect and seal it and a truck will come everyday to get those sealed smoke
Anna: it seems it's related to a theory that soul is the smoke of the burnt bodies, but isn't it falls ?
The old man exhaled another breath from ciggerate
The old man: I thought that too until I saw patterns of faces on the sealed container of smoke, i asked them about this and simply said "it's to research about the souls", it felt wrong so i followed the trucks and what I saw was horrifying....they took the smoke and compressed it tightly and released it at high speed and it destroyed any living organism inside it and I saw the general of military with them....China was creating a mass destruction weapon.....
Fuji: B-but it's illegal to use souls or anything related to element as weapons right ?
he said as his face goes pale
The old man: yeah...i also told them stop this but they fired me and block my online service and water and electricity and they forced me to shut up, that's all i have to say
Fuji: oh...ok um thank you sir for agreeing for the interview
He said as Anna start to pack up as Fuji helped her and the old man breathe another ciggerate
The old man: kid, i don't know what your motives are but please stop this project and Project Arean...this is getting out of hands
Anna: we will, don't worry
Cut to
The camera pans behind Fuji, standing atop a glowing skyscraper as the neon city hums beneath him. Wind brushed his hair as Anna landed beside him.
Anna: "Finally. Last interview's done. Got the pictures of the factories too."
Fuji: "Good. Let's wrap up this mission by next week."
The city lights flicker in the distance as thunder rumbles faintly in the clouds.
