Chapter 180 - X2-182: Museum Visit.

"What?" Shiro asked, with a confused look on his face. Haruto stood up, stretching his arms. "Ah, nothing… Just saying things…" Haruto said, smiling. Shiro looked at Haruto with a worried look on his face, "Yo, Shiro, we're going…" Haruto said. Shiro looked up at Haruto in surprise. "Oh, alright," Shiro said, smiling. Shiro stood up, walking next to Haruto. Haruto and Shiro walked over to the other bodyguards. "Yo, do you know what the plan is?" Haruto asked. The bodyguards looked at Shiro and Haruto in confusion. "Nobody told you guys the schedule for today?" One guard asked.

Shiro shook his head, "Nope, we haven't been told." Shiro said. The bodyguards began laughing together. "Well, school kiddo's... We don't have a schedule... If you want a schedule, go back to the classroom." Another guard said. Haruto clenched his fists. He then forced a smile, "My apologies... But could I speak with you outside?" Haruto asked. Haruto opened his eyes exhaling. "My apologies, I didn't know," Haruto said. The guards laughed, "Haha, yeah whatever." the same guard said. Haruto and Shiro turned walking back to their table. They sat back down, both getting on their phones.

A few minutes later, Haruto and Shiro would be walking behind Callie & Sophia. The Hatzi family would arrive at a large dome building. Haruto raised a brow. "What's this place..?" Haruto asked. Shiro tapped Haruto's shoulder, pointing at something. Shiro pointed at a sign. On the sign said '50 Year World War Museum'. Haruto sighed, as the family walked into the building. They walked into a dark red room, It was quiet but you could hear the quiet sound of wind. 'Whooooosh'. Haruto and Shiro looked around. "Professor Makoto's history class all over again..." Haruto thought.

The family walked over to a large screen. The screen displayed what remains of the continent of Antarctica. Islands of ice surround a green-dyed body of water. Text next to the screen said 'Destruction of Arctic continent caused by 13th District weaponry.' Haruto ground his teeth. "That's bull shit..." Haruto whispered... Shiro put his hand on Haruto's shoulder. "It's just propaganda, Haruto... Calm down..." Shiro whispered. Haruto nodded, exhaling. The President looked back at Haruto, "I'll speak with him about it in the meeting..." The President of the 13th district internalized.

They kept walking down the hallway, seeing reenactments of the war. 13th District soldiers tied up to wooden posts with rifles aimed at them by 10th District soldiers. Next to that lay a to-scale model of one of the bombs. The size was insane, it was big enough to fill half of a classroom. "It's huge..." Callie whispered. Haruto and Shiro nodded, "And they convinced their citizens that we used them..." Shiro internalized. They kept walking, as a screen with the former president stood there, behind a podium. "Today is the day we prevail... The day 10 becomes free! Free from foreign control!" The president shouted.

They kept walking, seeing 10th soldiers standing in crowds. They saw the Alliance Of United District's flag being burned by 10th District soldiers. There was a monitor broadcasting the news. The broadcast showed the attack in the 13th district. The subtitle said 'Rioting breaks out after protests break out'. Haruto looked shocked, "Riots!? Riots!!??" Haruto internalized. '12 Dead, 15 injured'. it said on the screen. Haruto's eyes widened. "What the hell..." Haruto thought. The President cleared his throat, "Let's go..." The President said. Everyone nodded, as they turned to leave the museum.

When outside, Haruto and Shiro stood next to each other. Haruto's eyes were covered in shadows. Shiro put his hands on Haruto's shoulders. "It's foreign dictatorship propaganda... keep a grip..." Shiro said. Haruto sighed, "Even if it's propaganda it's still lies! Our friend got hurt out there and they aren't even covering the correct information!" Haruto said. Shiro sighed, "12 Dead!? Who??" Haruto asked. Shiro shook his head, "I don't know... We can talk about this later..." Shiro said. Haruto nodded, looking down at the ground. "We'll be headed to our meeting now..." The President said. Haruto and Shiro nodded. The President, His wife, and bodyguards went down a flight of stairs into a separate building.

"I'm going to use the restroom real quick..." Shiro said. Haruto nodded, "Gotcha..." Haruto said. Shiro walked back into the museum. Haruto crossed his arms, looking at the ground. Haruto stood up, looking at the two girls. "So, what're you guys doing after they get out of their meeting?" Haruto asked. Sophia shrugged, "We're going to get some food..." Sophia said. Haruto nodded, "What kind..?" Haruto asked. Callie shrugged, "Whatever they have here..." Callie said. Haruto nodded, "Are you guys alright?" Haruto asked. A knife then flew toward Haruto's head, turning into ash before it hit his head. Haruto's eyes widened, looking to the right.

"Hey..." Haruto said. The girls looked horrified. "Get inside... Find Shiro..." Haruto said. The girls nodded, running inside the building. Haruto took off his glasses looking over at something. "I told you I'd come back... Right!?" Kousuke shouted. Haruto glared at Kousuke who held a dagger in his hand. Haruto took off his jacket, dropping it on the ground. Haruto cracked his knuckles, "Are you sure you want to take me on your own..?" Kousuke asked. Haruto's eyes were shadowed by his bangs. "Hey..." Haruto mumbled. Kousuke raised a brow. "Shut up for a second... Or I'll kill you..." Haruto said. Haruto glared up at Kousuke. Kousuke grinned, pointing his dagger at Haruto. "We'll see!" Kousuke shouted.
