Kaname was getting ready for school. She had gotten up late in the morning and was late. She wasn't really in a hurry to get to school, though. She recieved a call for Tessa that informed her that Souske was hurt in some action. She was still a state of shock and disbilef about it. She knew some of the capablities of the Arbelast and knew that the Lambda driver was the ultimate weapon system. She wondewred what happened that got Souske hurt. It wasn't like Souske to be reckless. Since she had known him, he has caused more trouble then the entire scholl combined, but reckless never. Inconsiderate, Yes. Reckless, no.
She exited the shower when her telephone decided to ring. She went over and picked it up.
" This is Kaname Chidori speaking." She said in Japanese.
" Hey, K. Its your sister, Aiyume. How's it hanging?" said a very chipper voice on the otherside in English with a slight New York accent.
Kaname was over joyed from hearing her little sister. It has been some time that the two of them had spoken for a long time. For the next thirty minutes, the two were in a very spirited discussion. They both were telling the other about the coming and goings of thier life. Kaname was starting to regret her decision to go Tokyo. She wanted to be with family. She wanted them to see her more often, but something always come up on her end.
Then Kaname heard a sound that sent a shiver to her spine and to her soul.
The sound of Air raid Siren from over the phone.
" Aiyume, What's happening over there? That's an air raid siren. What's happening?" said Kaname trying not to get to hysterical.
The next sound was a door being knocked down over the phone and a male voice comming over the line.
"We've got to get you out of here, Miss Chidori. A nuclear missile has been launched and heading this way."
The line went dead as Kaname was yelling. "Get out of there, Aiyume. Get away."
Kaname tried to get the line back on, but the phone was dead. She satrted to panic when the power to her apartment went dead.
She looked around and realized that somebody must have hit the breaker to her room. She however was not in the usual frame of mind for her and instead of getting her cellphone, she went to her room.
There she got took form under her bed, a 9mm Beretta. A present form Souske. For times when he can't be there right away. She fought back the thought of Souske being hurt or her sister dying in a nuclear fireball. She had her life to worry about right now. She left her room, staying next to the wall. She sneaked around the corner to the door. She didn't hear any sound from the door. She sat there for a couple of moments until she was sure that nobody was immediatly next to the door. She next moved staelthily toward the living room and her cellphone. Just as she go there, the patio window-doors exploded as two black clad figures burst into the room. She dove behind her sofa as the two figures brought their rifle to bear. She knew she was in big trouble now. Her way to the door would be covered by the two men. She also suspected that other men were in the hallway waiting for her to try to leave that way. That meant her only egress was her bedroom. The armed men were trying to get around the room, when Kaname burst into action. She rolled to her left and sat up shoot a couple of shots with her pistol at the assailants. She ddin't even try to find out if she hit them as she moved to the hall way to bed room. She shut her door and locked. She knew that if they wanted her that wouldn;t be that much of a problem, but any time delayed would be all she would need. She ran jumped on her bed and jumped of it, going through her bedroom window. She knew that it was a 3 story drop, but it was better then what the armed men wanted form her.
She Flew the air and hit the ground and rolled with it. she continued her roll and spang into a run, ignoring the shouts from others she heard. She needed to get to the Mithrall safe house three block away to get help. she turned the corner in a flat run and continued her flight for freedom. However, a van cut across her path and opened its door. She felt a sharp pain now in her shoulder. She looked at it and saw some kind of dart sticking out of it. *Damn, they got me* as she fell forward. Althought she could think and was aware of her suroondings, she could do no voluntary functions. She was rolled over to her back. Now, she want ed to scream.
Only a faint whisper escaped her lips.
"You're supposed to be dead. We killed you."
A familiar scarred faced Eurasian smiled at this reaction.
"The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated, Miss Chidori. Too bad, Souske can't help you, now. He'll busy for a while, as will rest of MItharl." said a very sastified Guaron.
"I have been tasked to bring you to some very important people, and they are paying quite nicely. But just between you and me, I'd do this for free." as Guaron gave the petrified Kaname to some men in the Van.
The next thing came heard was a large explosion before she fel under the complete influence of the drug.

Split, so...
...another fellow fic writer once asked me what kind of handgun would
be appropos for Kaname. That Walter TPH (Tessa) would be my opinion,
or something small, lightweight and designed SPECIFICALLY for close-quarters
range. (Sousuke's Glock, f'r instance) Just me, but I personally think a Beretta is
waaaaay overkill...
a few times. I'd personally concentrate on the pilots and their personal
thoughts on the actions, and use descriptions of the actual mecha battle
sparingly.
Mine's been relegated to the backend of nowhere particular

On a good day, a Tomahawk can fly into the door of a two-car garage at the distance of several hundred miles. And that can ruin your whole day.
