Yakushima Plans Part four: In the flight

Sugie POVThe days went by and soon, it was the 26th. Anna had texted me all the details about the trip so I had no problem going there. She told me that this Lee person was gonna pick me up from the airfield. A violet-coloured jet with a robotic arm design at the sides came into view. The word Violet Systems was written on the sides too. The plane landed in front of me, and inside, there was a guy with silver hair, wearing sunglasses. He came out and took of his glasses and looked at me. He was wearing a light violet and blue coloured button shirt with black pants. "Are you Shasha's mother?" he asked. "Of course you are! It's written all over your face, and hers too.""Uh yeah, we look alike, don't we?" I said. This guy seems a bit... eccentric... "Some people think we're sisters.""Yeah that's what I thought too," said the guy. "You look young for your age, but Anna still looks young for a 43-year-old. Well, she has a reason for it. I'm Lee Chaolan. You can call me Lee.""Hi Mr. Lee," I said. "So you're the one who's taking me to Japan?""Yes," said Lee. "The flight needs to be fixed up a bit. Then, it would be excellent!" I got in and the plane looked amazing. It was purple with white seats. I got in at the front and Lee got in too. He elegantly walked up to the pilot's seat and sat on it. Soon, the plane was ready to fly and Lee started to fly the plane. He put on his sunglasses and turned on some music before flying the plane. Wait what? He wears sunglasses at NIGHT?"I have a question," I said. "Why are you wearing sunglasses at night?""These?" asked Lee, pointing to his sunglasses while glancing back at me and I nodded. "These aren't sunglasses! They are these super glasses. They help me see at night. Basically they are night vision goggles in the form of glasses."Oh okay then," I said. This people must be really high tech. "You're really high tech...""So what do you think about this excellent jet?" Lee asked. "It is my own personal jet.""It's great," I said. "Thanks again, Mr. Lee.""Just call me Lee," said Lee. "By the way, if you need anything, just press the button on the top."I looked up and saw a red button. Wonder what it does..."What does it do?" I asked. "Try it to find out," Lee said without looking away from the windshield of the plane. "Go on, try it!"I pressed it and immediately, from the back, came a white robot with yellow legs. This guy is seriously really high tech..."I am Combot," said the robot. "Is there anything I can help with.""Oh my," I said, surprised. "Is this a serving robot?""Yes it is," said Lee. "He is my creation.""Wow..." was all I managed to say. "Well in that case, I don't need anything, for now.""Call me if you need me," said Combot and returned to wherever it came from. "Nice robot, huh," said Lee. "I was really sad when it got destroyed, but I managed to get him all fixed up.""Yeah it is," I said. "Anyway, how long is this flight?""About seven hours," said Lee. "While then, you can just sit back, and relax.""Are you a pilot for the Mishima Zaibatsu?" I asked. "But if you are, then why does the jet say Violet Systems?""I'm actually the CEO of Violet Systems," said Lee, to my surprise. "But I decided to help the Zaibatsu on this one. Jin, the CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu is actually my nephew, adoptive nephew.""Oh okay," I said. "Shasha told me that Jin is on holiday or something and his uncle took over temporarily? Is it you?""No not me," said Lee. "I have a company of my own to take care of. Ain't got time for that Zaibatsu. The one who took over the Zaibatsu for Jin is Lars. That's my adoptive half brother, and my favourite person in that family.""Oh okay then," I said. "So you just helped the Zaibatsu to bring me to Japan?""Yes I did," said Lee. "But it's more of an escape plan, because without Jin, Lars is having a hard time arranging the tournament. He usually asks for my help, but as if I know how things go in this tournament. So when Anna asked me for help, of course I didn't decline.""That's actually really nice of you," I said. "Anna must be your best friend, huh?""Friend?" asked Lee, with a scoff. "I'm gonna change that soon. I've been friend zoned, or more like fight zoned by her for a long LONG time...""Oh so you actually like her?" I asked. "Well I don't really blame you. She looks really pretty. But don't you think she's a little too old for you? Like she's in her forties or something?""Too old for me?" asked Lee. "Do you even know how old I am?""Umm..." I said, thinking. "In your early thirties?""WRONG!" exclaimed Lee, cheerfully. "I'm in my late forties! Actually, no. I'm FIFTY on the 29th this month.""WHOA..." I said, shocked. "You're nearly FIFTY? I couldn't have known...""Well let's just say Dr Bosco had something to do with it," said Lee. "He gave me a potion. An age reversing potion.""Are you guys from a science fiction novel?" I asked, surprised. "Wait did you say that your birthday is on the 29th this month?""Yes I did," said Lee. "I'm a Virgo, same as Michael Jackson.""You know what?" I asked. "Shasha's birthday is on the 28th and mine was on the 7th, this month.""So we have two August babies here too," said Lee. "It's hard to find people born in the month of August, we must be a minority. Because as far as I know, only me and Jin are born in the month of August. Jin's birthday is on the 5th by the way, so that leaves me the only Virgo here, besides your daughter.""Yeah you're right," I said. "But August is the month of independence, since many countries received independence this month, such as my country, Malaysia." "Yes it is," said Lee. "Proud to be born in August. It's starting to rain. That's surprising. I checked the weather report, and it said the weather is clear all the way!""You actually believe the weather report?" I asked. "You can't actually depend on it, especially in Malaysia. We have very unpredictable weather...""You're right," said Lee. "The rain is already over...""See..." I said. 'That's the thing. We have very unpredictable weather. VERY..."Lee started talking about himself and I got to know that this guy, has a lot on his hands. "I'm still trying to win over Anna, by the way," said Lee. "I met her during the fifth tournament. I can see that she liked me too. But she actually beat me up, and sat on me, laughing...""Poor you," I said. "So who's this Anna anyway? She's the one who gave me all the details about this trip.""Oh she's this amazing, beautiful woman," said Lee. "I've known her for like two decades now. She didn't age for nineteen years because she was put in a cryosleep chamber and frozen in age. She's a very cheerful person, very deadly too, but very fun, friendly and sociable. She's very....."Lee went on rambling about Anna, but I kinda found it... uninteresting.... I slowly dosed off, Lee's voice started growing distant as if going far far away.
