Nauki Kagaku waved his hand in the air as he spotted his dark haired wife, Asai Kagaku. Asai spotted his hand and waved back as she made her way over to where he had saved them a table.
Asai was a tall slender woman with shoulder length jet black hair and beautiful green eyes. She had a graceful look about her that seemed to fit her slender face shape and sleek eyes. She wore a pale pink dress jacket over a pure white blouse and a knee high pale pink skirt. Her hair was combed to shine even in the dimmest of light.
Nauki was a tall skinny man, with a mess of thick black hair on his pointed head. He wore a white knee length lab coat and his violet eyes shone behind a pair of small round glasses. Under the coat was a white, light blue striped polo shirt, closed at the top with a black tie. Lastly he wore a pair of long brown pants and black dress shoes.
Asai sat down and began talking with her husband. The topic that eventually came up was Nauki�s work.
�So, how is that new speed serum coming?� she asked, wondering about his latest project.
�Pretty good. It�s near perfection. My team and I should be doing human testing within the next year.� He said proudly.
�Great! That�s been taking a big chunk out of your time lately.� Asai exclaimed.
�Yeah. We�re really proud of our progress as of late.� He smiled broadly.
�Has your next project been announced yet?�
�No. The big shots of the company really don�t think that our serum has made enough progress to give us another assignment.� Nauki sighed a bit dejected.
�Don�t worry. When you prove to them how good your little potions are, they�ll be pouring assignments on you and the others!� Asai laughed lightly.
�Thanks Asai.� Nauki offered a smile.
Asai was about to make another comment when the voice of one of the workers called over the intercom and filled the cafeteria. �Nauki! Nauki Kagaku!! We need you on floor three immediately! We are having some trouble with one of the machines!�
Nauki stood and headed for the door immediately. Asai followed quickly.
Nauki arrived in the lab and was greeted by a man with silver gray eyes and silver hair. He sported the same outfit as Nauki, but the polo shirt beneath his coat was tan.
�What is it, Seika?� he asked the man, nervous.
We got the serum out of the machine, but the machine suddenly started to groan and it�s in over load right now. We don�t know what the problem is, but if we don�t do something, it�ll explode!� Seika explained.
Nauki ran to the machine and stared at it for a few brief moments before darting to the control room, followed closely by his wife. As Asai closed the door to the control room behind herself as her husband began running his eyes over the screens on the panel, reading the graphs and every once in a while pressing a few buttons, or turning some knobs.
Suddenly, Seika burst through the door, panting heavily.
�Seika!� Nauki exclaimed, looking up at him.
Seika pulled a vial from his pocket, which held a brown- green liquid in it. �I saved the serum, but it�s too late to save these machines!� Seika referred to the other three machines in the room besides the one that was whining in protest.
�So we just stand here to die?� Nauki exclaimed.
Seika didn�t answer this, but his eyes widened as he saw the state the machine was in through the window behind Nauki. He rushed foreward and grabbed Nauki by the collar of his coat and threw him against the far wall, then pushed Asai over next to him. Seika ran over to them and did his best to protect the two with his body as the machine finally died with a deafening explosion, followed by three others.
Nauki picked himself up from under a heavy piece of metal. His violet eyes searched around desperately for any signs of life. Particularly from his wife or friend.
�Asai! Asai!! Seika please!!!� he yelled, looking around for his loved ones.
He got up, ignoring the gash on his leg and scanned the area. His heart leaped as he saw a bit of movement. As he limped over to where someone was apparently trying to get out from under a large chunk of metal, he could hear a familiar groan.
�Asai! Asai is that you?!� he cried.
�Nauki? Help! I�m stuck, and so is Seika!�
�Seika! Are you alright?�
�I think. I don�t feel too good.� Came Seika�s strained voice.
Nauki finally reached his destination and helped to haul the chunk of metal off of Seika and his wife. He helped the man up, then lifted his wife to her feet and pulled her into a tight hug. �I�m so glad you�re okay.� He said, on the bridge of tears.
�We were worried about you too. We didn�t know what would happen after you got separated from us in the explosion.� Seika answered, holding his stomach.
�Are you okay?� Asai asked, worried.
�I�ll be okay. We need to focus on getting out of here right now.� The silver haired man answered. Asai and Nauki nodded. The three people rushed out of the room as one last man stood and began searching frantically.
