SOULS visited David’s bedside. All of them crowded around him with disbelief.
“Damn… We finally found him …” said Michael.
Leon scratched his head in frustration and he crossed his arms “I say we just kick out of bed and make him wake up.”
“Don’t! Let him rest” said Melissa
“Fine…” Leon replied
“He’s in so much trouble when he wakes up” Said Brandon
“I know…” Chelle said “But, that day we know what happened, we know he’s innocent”
“That doesn’t matter Chelle!” Joseph argued “If he gets tried you know we are under oath… That any of the Mithril branches can not get any information from any of us! You know we signed the contract that if any of us leak any information, especially our operations, all of us are going to be facing the Firing squad. I love the Captain as much as a subordinate can but, if we give any info out you know that even if we prove him innocent that God Damn contract is going to end up killing us”
“Don’t use the lord’s name in vain” Said Michael
“Oh Sorry father! Hey maybe you can ask God if he can help us” Said Joseph sarcastically
“God helps people who help themselves…” said Michael
Master Sergeant Michael “Paladin” Leone was one of the SOULS snipers. Before when he was younger he was a priest in Ireland.
Everyone kept quiet. For a few minutes Leon, Brandon and Melissa sat down, and then David’s eyes slowly opened up. Melissa jumped out of her seat talking to David “David! David! Oh My God!”
Everyone was happy, seeing their company XO alive and well. Chelle picked up the telephone trying to call Major Kalinin, when David asked “Who are you people?”
Melissa stepped back in shock. Leon came forward and said “What do you mean ‘who are you people?’”
“Who are you? Where am I?” David screamed. He tried getting up but he was handcuffed to the bed. He rolls to his side and falls off the bed with his hand suspended in the air. The nurses and the orderlies rushed in. The medical staff consisted mostly NCOs and 2 Warrant officers. They sedated David and sets him back up to his bed. One of the nurses opens the side drawer and handcuffs David’s other hand.
“Oh… How kinky Leon” Whispered Leon to Brandon. Brandon starts to giggle. The nurse turned her head and gave Leon a look.
“Nurse!” Leon called “I believe that he is suffering amnesia”
“No really you think” The nurse said sarcastically and walked off
“Wow what a bitch…” Said Chelle
“Okay folks please step outside” The doctor walked in. All the nurses and orderlies went out quickly
Everyone turned around and was shocked on who they saw
“Oh my God Lisa… when did you get here? Melissa asked
“A few hours ago… I’ve been reassigned to the TDD-1” She replied
Master Sergeant Lisa “Doc” Sario was an ex-SOULS operative. She was one of the Team’s Medics.
“Most of the round was stopped by his vest but still the impact was great… Probably was a Magnum or a .50AE” Lisa said
“Lisa what’s wrong with him?” Chelle answered
Lisa pulled the file by David’s bed. She looked through her files. “The funny part is we put him through tests… and it all came back negative…” Lisa said
“Negative for what?” Melissa asked
“Well he’s not suffering from amnesia, I am sure of it.” Lisa answered
“Well the Captain is a special person… you know his brain waves are different than normal people” Leon said
“Well Leon… I compared his results with his old test results… His brain waves are still the same. I compared them and his short term and long term memory is still intact.” Lisa added
“Then, was he lying to us?” Chelle asked
“Possibly…” Lisa answered
Melissa got an epiphany and suddenly said “No this isn’t the Captain…”
“What the hell are you talking about” said Brandon
“That’s not the Captain… He’s just another High School student from Japan.” She replied
“I agree” said Michael
“What! Are you guys blind that’s him with short hair! See his blood results they are the same as the Captain’s!” Said Brandon
Lisa‘s eyes grew wider “Oh…”She interrupted. “That’s my mistake that’s the Captain’s results his results *pointing at David* are in the Lab. He’s not David” Lisa added
“Just a few seconds ago you said that you were comparing his old…” Leon was stopped by Lisa’s finger on his lips. “Lieutenant! He is not Captain Santiago *points at David*. That man is dead *Points at the surveillance camera in the room*. This young man here is just another student caught in the crossfire. He is innocent, do you understand me!” Lisa said and then winked. There was a moment of silence slowly everyone started to nod and nudge each other.
“No…” Leon answered
“Oh lord why must we work with such a thick headed honest man!” Michael said, “Leon come with me to the Bathroom… Let me explain what’s going on…”
“Why?” Leon asked
“Just come with me” Michael said Grabbing Leon’s collar.
Tessa’s quarters*
Major Kalinin entered Tessa’s room. Tessa offered Kalinin a seat.
“Ma’am!” Kalinin said and saluted
“As you were!” She ordered “Major… What do you know about this…?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about Ma’am” He answered
“Yes you do!” She said firmly. “You know who this David Santiago!”
“Yes ma’am I do know him… I have worked with him before…”
“Work on what?”
“I can’t tell you”
“Why?”
“It’s a contract ma’am that can’t be breached… sorry…”
“I see just answer me this… Is the young man in the ICU David Santiago?”
“He died over a year ago…”
Tessa opened her folder and showed the Major old pictures, files and recent pictures. Kalinin looked through them and Tessa opened a file in her computer and printed a Warrant of arrest from Mithril high command, stating that David Santiago was being charged with desertion, Breech of contract, and two counts of murder of Mithril Personnel
“Do you see Major…? This is why it is important for me to know if this young man is David Santiago…”
“Ma’am I knew Captain Santiago very well… He is not a murderer… He couldn’t kill any Mithril personnel”
The phone rang and Tessa answered.
“Ma’am General Ramirez has arrived via Helicopter transport.”
Tessa placed the phone down and stood up.
“Still… Major… If he is David Santiago he is going to be tried…”
Tessa walked out and headed for the hanger to meet the General.
Hanger*
The General got off the massive helicopter and headed towards the Brig. Along the way he ran into Tessa.
“Sir!” Tessa saluted
“Commander Testarossa! Nice to finally meet you!”
“Thank you sir”
“Oh by the way I have a surprise for you…” The General turned around and pointed. He pointed at this old man wearing a Class A Mithril uniform.
“Hello Commander…” The man greeted
“Uncle… I mean Admiral” Tessa replied
“Okay now where is my good buddy Kei!”
“Down that way sir…”
Kaname’s room*
“So… it never happened…”
“No… it’s impossible…”
“I see…”
“I am really sorry…”
“Why do you always say I am sorry…? I’m getting tired of it…”
“I’m sorry”
“There you go again! You know what get out!”
“Okay…”
Sousuke walked out. Kaname sat down wondering “Why was I angry at him… He didn’t do anything wrong…”
Brig*
Keitaro stood up and saw the General.
“Guards let him out" Ordered the general
Keitaro got out and gave the General a hug.
“Nice to see you old friend!” Kei said
“You too Major…” Answered the general “Now where’s Andre…”
Kalinin entered the brig and said “Right here sir” The general shook Kalinin’s hand.
“Now down to business… Where’s the boy?”
“He’s in stable condition right now sir… They said that he woke up a few hours ago”
“Ah great… I want to speak with him”
Kaname’s room*
Kaname stood up and walked out of her room. She went into Tessa’s room looking for Tessa.
“Tessa!”
She saw some pictures of her with David and some file papers. Then she saw a picture. It was a young man that looked like David on the ground with a beautiful young woman, behind them is Men and Women in uniform with a black AS behind them. In the middle of the group of the soldiers is Melissa Mao. Then Kaname had a flashback of the Dream she had. The scenery was the same the huge black AS was there, but Sousuke was holding her in his arms. She opened the files and read through it.
“What the…”
Then she remembered that she that young woman before. She saw it in one of David’s picture in his house. Then she saw the arrest warrant. She placed the picture in her pocket and went out the room
David’s room*
David was now handcuffed to his bed with both hands. He opens his eyes and sees the SOULS personnel were still in the room. Joseph and Brandon were watching TV. Stewart was asleep on the couch. Rina was on her laptop and Chelle was reading a Magazine. They saw him wake up. Melissa Stood up and checked on him.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah”
“Don’t worry you’ll be back in Japan in a few hours… You should be happy that gun shot wound wasn’t fatal and that you heal pretty quickly.
“Thanks Melissa…”
Melissa grinned. Leon walked in with Michael. “Hey the guy’s awake now”
David turned his head and looked around and looked at Chelle.
“Hey you! The chick with the blond hair…” David called out. Chelle looked at him. “Nice Dye job…” David said.
Everyone started to laugh
“Funny kid… really funny…” She replied
“No but really… It really looks good on you and with your body; you could be a model…”
Chelle blushed and said “thanks”
The door opened and the General walked in with Kalinin, and Keitaro.
“Whoa… what the… What’s SOULS doing in here?”
“Oh! General” Leon said “We’re here because…because…ummm…”
“Because we were kicked out of the NCO room so we went in here to relax and wait until the code red was over” Brandon interrupted
“Okay… All of you out… I need to speak with this young man alone”
Everyone walked out in a single file line. The General sat down beside David
“So David… Oh almost forgot, I’m Carlos…”
“Hello general” David replied
“No need to call me General.”
“No, no an officer of your status must be called General.”
Carlos smiled and said “So how do you like our facility here…”
“It’s huge.”
“Hmmm… Have you ever thought of joining the Military?”
“No…”
“So how’s your life in high school?”
“It’s great… I love living in Japan…”
“I see…”
The General stood back up. He walked towards the door and before he opened the door he said “So you don’t want to come back?”
“No…” David answered
“Okay…”
When the General opened the door Leon, Brandon, Joseph, and Rina fell in.
“Let him go… It’s not him. Lt. Chang I need to speak to you in private. Also Leon and Brandon go home!” The General ordered
Tessa’s room*
Tessa walked back in furious. Thinking “I am not going to leave this ship… and there’s my other problem I don’t want to pull Sousuke out of Japan but he has too… He has to pilot the Arbalest… After the incident in China… We can’t afford this to happen again”
Someone knocks at the door.
“Come in!”
It was Sousuke he walked in front of her and saluted. “Ma’am Sergeant Sagara reporting!”
“At ease Sergeant. Sergeant Sagara I called you in to relieve you of your mission in Japan…”
“Ma’am permission to speak!”
“Yes go ahead…
“Ma’am I feel that it is not enough for a Mithril Intelligence operative to guard Miss Chidori…”
“It is not how you feel that matters Sergeant, what matters is that you operate the arbalest”
“But ma’am…”
“No buts Sergeant”
“Ma’am! It is not enou~”
“That’s enough!” Shouted Tessa “You don’t care about anyone else than Kaname… How about me… How about your comrades…”
“I am sorry ma’am”
“You’re selfish Sousuke” Tessa said and started to cry
“I am sorry ma’am”
“Sorry! Sorry! Is that all you can say!”
Sousuke kept quiet
“You’re Dismissed Sergeant…”
Sousuke walked out. She wiped her tears and someone was knocking at her door again.
“Just a second” She said “Okay come in!”
A dark skinned man came in, stood in front her saluted. “Ma’am! 2lt. Belfangan Grouseaux reporting for the Pacific fleet!”
“Ah Lieutenant! I was going to meet you in Merida Island…”
“I’m sorry ma’am”
Tessa twitched for hearing “I’m sorry”
“I came with General Ramirez… He said he had something to show me important so I came with him.”
“I see… well anyway it is very nice to meet you…” Tessa said. She checks her computer and says “I see that you will be next URZ team leader… Very well then… Welcome to the TDD-1... You are dismissed Lieutenant”
“Yes ma’am!”
Hallway*
Sousuke was walking through the Hallway. He didn’t know where he was going he just wanted to go somewhere he could think, somewhere there’s peace. He ran into SOULS. Melissa said “Hey Sousuke Something wrong?”
“Sousuke? Sousuke Sagara? Leon asked?”
“Yes…”
“Oh… nice to meet you and a job well done stopping those terrorists and saving the ‘toy box’”
“Thank you…”
“How’s Kaname?”
Sousuke shrugged and walked off.
“How rude…” Said Leon
“Hmmm… Something’s wrong… better if I leave it be…” Melissa added
Stuart walked ahead
“Stu! Where are you going?” Joseph asked
“Visit my Dad!”
Kaname’s room*
Kaname was sitting down. Looking at the picture. The door opens and Kaname hides the picture. It was Melissa and SOULS.
“Hi Melissa!” Said Kaname
“Hi Kaname!” Replied Melissa
“Hi Kaname!” Said Leon
“Do I know you?” Kaname asked
“Hehehe… I supposed you don’t… I’m Lt. Cranston!”
“You mean Ex-Lt. Cranston” Interrupted Brandon
“Shut up”
“Hey wait a minute…” Kaname said and took the picture out “All of you guys are in this picture…”
Melissa took the picture from her and looked at it.
“Is the guy in the Middle David?”
“Umm… We don’t know…” Melissa answered
“Who is the woman in the picture…?”
“I don’t recall her name?”
“Then what do you remember Melissa!” Kaname calmed down and said “then just answer me this… Is this man *points at the young man in the picture* a whispered”
“Somewhat…” Leon answered
“Why do you guys keep giving me obscure answers?”
Bar*
Sousuke was sitting with Kurtz drinking soda while Kurtz drank whiskey.
“Ah soon we’ll be in Merida…” Kurtz sighed “Aren’t you glad were off for a week
“No…”
“C’mon smile a bit”
Lt. Grouseaux walked in and sat beside Sousuke
“Uh… Sir that seat is reserved for Quick response teams…”
“Whatever…”
“Actually sir… That seat is reserved to commemorate our lost allies… Especially for Lt. Mc Allen.”
“That man was a coward…”
“He’s a coward huh…” Kurtz said and lunged forward and tried to hit the Lieutenant. Lt. Grouseaux hit Kurtz in the stomach and knocks him out
“Sir, if you may… Please do not disrespect Lt. Mc Allen…”
“Okay… fight for the honor of your team leader… When we get to Merida, we shall duel…”
Lt. Grouseaux walked out the bar. Some of the men in the Bar helped Kurtz up and brought him to the Infirmary.
Hallway*
Stewart was walking with his father, Chief Warrant Officer “Santa” Sacks. They both ran into Belfangan.
“Bel!” Stu shouted
“Stuart..! What are you doing here…?”
“Oh I got called in here… I’m now going to be posted in Merida.”
“Really… Wow! In that case I want you to manage my M9.”
“Sure! I always wanted to work with the D series.”
“Wow the D series” Santa interrupted
“Yeah… It’s really effective.” Bel looks at his watch. “I got to go to my room… I have a briefing in an hour.”
“Alright… Oh by the way, some of the SOULS members are here!” Stu shouted
“Really? Wait so is it true?”
“Some what…”
Bel’s room*
Bel placed his duffel bag by the bunk. He stepped outside and saw Melissa.
“Melissa!”
“Bel!”
Melissa came closer
“How are you?” She asked
“Great… So is it true?”
“Not really…”
“Huh?”
“Check him out yourself”
Kaname’s room*
“I can’t believe it all this time… he’s been lying to me…”
Kaname was confused. She didn’t know whether or not she could get angry or should she be thankful. On top of all that she also was worried about her relationship with Sousuke. All this ideas ran through her head. “Is Sousuke going to be still in touch with me?” She lays on the couch and rested her arm on her eyes. The door opens. Kaname sits up right. It was Major Kalinin. Andre walked around the couch and stood in front of Kaname. Andre had a folder in his hands.
“Miss Chidori… In a few hours, we will send you back to Tokyo with David and Keitaro… David is going to probably be admitted to Tokyo Med” Kalinin said
“Oh that’s wonderful! But what about Sousuke?” Kaname asked
Kalinin kept quiet. Some how Kaname got her answer. Kalinin turned around and walked towards the door. He paused and said “Don’t worry your in good hands…” and Kalinin walked completely out the door. Kaname was relieved, thinking that Sousuke was going to be with her.
Medical Supply room*
The Supply NCO walked into the room and saw a Female 2nd Lieutenant looking through the bottles.
“Ma’am… What are you doing?” The NCO asked
“I’m looking for David Miamoto’s Medication?”
“Yes ma’am!” The NCO replied. He opened a drawer and grabbed a bottle of pills.
“Here is David’s pain killers ma’am.”
The lieutenant offered her hand
“Ma’am why do you need his pills?”
“Oh I am part of the Medical staff…”
“Oh you must be some of the new people that came in this morning! Here you go”
“Thanks…”
“Boy I really feel bad about that kid… I mean getting shot and all…”
“Yeah… It’s horrib~” She mumbled
Hanger*
The Submarine was preparing to resurface. David was blind folded and placed on a wheel chair. Keitaro was saluted by the flight crew “Major have a pleasant flight“. Keitaro Salutes and made his way into the helicopter. Kaname’s eye brow went up. “What the hell” She thought” . When David was being rolled to the Helicopter, Chelle shoved something down David’s pocket. “What the?!” David said.
The submarine resurfaced. Kaname walked towards the Helicopter looking around. She asked one of the Prep team members “Where is Sergeant Sagara?”
They shrugged and told Kaname to go in the Chopper. The Submarine hatch opens and the helicopter doors closed. Kaname stood up and ran to the Cockpit “Where’s Sousuke!?” She asked the pilot. The pilot didn’t reply. She ran back to her seat and looked out the window. She saw that the Helicopter was airborne. In a few seconds the Helicopter was high up and the TDD-1’s Hatch shut and began to submerge. Kaname sat back down and began to sob. “I didn’t even get to say goodbye…” Kaname sobbed.
Jendai High School*
Kaname walked to school alone that day, thinking that Sousuke would come soon. She went inside her school with out uttering a word or even greeting her own friends. She walked to her locked and changed her shoes. She proceeded to her classroom and sat down. She stared at the door way waiting. The bell rang. Miss Kagurazaka walks in. “Good morning class!” The students stand up and bow to the Teacher. Then the door opens. It was David. He walked in class with his shirt inside out.
“Mr. Miamoto! You’re tardy again!”
“I’m sorry!” David replied and bowed while the class giggled
“Look at yourself this is what you get for sleeping late! Waking up late and look at your clothes they’re in shambles!”
“I’m sorry!”
“Fine! Go fix yourself up and go sit down!”
“Yes Teacher!”
The whole day Kaname was zoning in and out of her class. When lunch began she ran down stairs not to get lunch but to go look for Sousuke. She went everywhere, asking teachers and Students until she was called in by Miss Kagurazaka.
“Yes Teacher?”
“Miss Chidori! Have you seen this?”
The teacher handed her an envelope stating Sousuke Sagara’s sign out paper from Jendai high school.
“Do you know anything about this Kaname?” asked Miss Kagurazaka
“No… I am sorry…”
“We’ll at least go ask him why?”
“Sure… He might be at his apartment today…”
“Okay thank you miss Chidori”
School ended and Kaname and Kyouko walked together.
“Kaname how did you do on the Test?”
“So-so”
“Traitor”
A young woman passes Kaname and Gives Kaname a look. Kaname began to shake
“What’s wrong Kaname?”
“Nothing I got to go” Kaname answered and ran off. She went to Sousuke’s apartment. When she got to Sousuke’s door she knocked but no one answered. She opens the door and finds the apartment empty. She couldn’t believe it. Sousuke has left her.
She walked down stairs to the first floor and walked in to David.
“Kaname what’s~”
David stopped . Kaname fists were clenched and there was the feeling of animosity in the air which David was uncomfortable with.
“KanaChan?”
“Shut up! Don’t call me that! I don’t even know who you are!”
“Whoa! Easy there Kaname. It’s me David!”
“Shut up! It’s your Fault!” Kaname shouted and ran
David sighs and keeps on his way. David goes in his house. His wheel chair was sitting next to his door. He goes in to his bathroom. He takes his shirt off. He had a big bandage going around his chest to his side. He opens his medicine cabinet and opens a bottle. He takes 3 pills and swallows it. He checks his bandages.
“I wonder why they made it too thick?” He said to himself
Then he heard some buzzing sounds. He turns and he hears it coming from his hamper. He walks closer and checks. It was his pants. He goes through his pockets and finds a cell phone. He opens it and sees he had 108 messages. Then he opened one of the Messages. The phone flickers and then shows the Mithril Insignia and on the bottom says “On Line”
“What the…”David said, and then chuckled
He left the phone in his bathroom. David went to his living room and turned on his television. He turned it on to the news and found out that Hong Kong was being destroyed by an AS. “Amalgram” David mutters. He stands up and gets the phone from the bathroom. He sighs
Kaname’s Apartment*
Kaname turned her Television on and lays on the couch. She covers her head. Thinking how did all of this happen?
“Why did I get angry at David…? He didn’t do anything wrong…” She thought
She screams into her pillow.
Merrida Island*
Sousuke was in the medical ward with Kurz. He was hurt during the Sparring session with Lt. Grouseaux. The Lieutenant walks up to Sousuke’s bed
“You are going to have to like your AS weather you like it or not” Grouseaux said
“It’s a piece of Trash” Sousuke replied
“What! How missions have you fought with the ARX7, Better yet how many successful missions did you have with that AS”
“I was just Lucky Sir!”
“Fine… If you don’t want the ARX7, I am assigning you a Gernsback” Grouseaux said. He turns and walks down the hall mumbling “John and Bunny are probably turning in there Graves right about now”
Kaname’s apartment*
Kaname didn’t go to school that day. She just laid in her couch. She opened her eyes and lunged up. She looked through the window. She saw a fat man looking through her window with a Telescope. She jumped up and ran to her curtains and Shut it.
“Pervert”
Her phone rang. Her heart started to beat faster, thinking it was Sousuke. She picks up the phone
“Sousuke!”
“No…” The other end replied in a digital voice “There is someone watching you… be very careful… Mithril or not, do not trust anyone… right now everything might be bugged in your house. And don’t worry Sousuke will be fine”
“Why? Who are you! What happened to Sousuke…?”
“To find answers, you must follow the signs and confront him… Goodbye Miss Chidori… Oh yes I almost forgot… Open the drawer under your phone, you‘re going to need protection” Then the phone went dead.
Kaname places her phone down. She gets dressed, thinking “Who the hell is this…” Then she remembers something in the files that she read in the Submarine. She said “Wraith.” Kaname was reluctant to open her drawer. She slowly opened it and found a Taser, a foldable knife, and a flash grenade. “What the hell” Kaname said
Hong Kong*
Brandon and Leon were in a Black Mercedes Benz. They drove in a warehouse.
“What’s this?” Leon asked
“My home…”
They got out of the car and Leon saw a black and green M6 kneeling down. “This looks familiar…” Leon said
“Yeah… It’s your AS… ”
“What?”
“Yeah… I am trying to make copies of everyone’s AS” Brandon replied
Leon jumped on the Massive M6 and sat on the Cockpit.
“Damn man you even have the custom panels done”
“Yep…”
“Sir!” Someone yelled
“Yes Jim?”
“Sir someone is attacking Hong Kong!”
“What!?”
“Yeah… Look!” Jim said and turned on the Television
“This is action 5 news, Please evacuate the Downtown area! A lone Arm Slave is wreaking Havoc on the city”
“Shit!” Brandon said
Leon stuck his head out of the AS and said “You think Mithril’s going to touch that?”
“I don’t really know Leon…”
The News show was showing clips of the AS being shot at but deflecting the bullets by this light.
“Is that… The L Driver”
“It is” Leon replied
Roof top somewhere in Japan*
It was raining. Kaname was confronting a fat man on the roof. She was wearing a soaked, dirty Bath robe.
“Who the Hell are you!” Kaname yelled
“Does it matter…? Miss Chidori” The fat man replied in a digital voice
“Are you the one who called me!?” She asked
“No…”
“Are you wraith…?”
Suddenly shots were fired striking the fat man. A young Asian woman has shot him with a silenced 9mm pistol. She jumped from another roof top and landed where Kaname was.
“Who are you!? Wait… your that woman from the street” Kaname asked
“You’re the one, who hurt teacher… Die you bitch!” The woman yelled
She pointed the pistol at Kaname. Kaname ran to the edge of the building. The woman kept taking potshots at her. Kaname gets off balance and falls off the side of the building, before it was too late she kicks the wall to land on another roof top. The woman jumps and chases after her. She lands on the roof top. She finds a piece of Kaname’s bathrobe sticking out of a shed. She draws her knife and advances on the shed. When she was about to strike she stops on her tracks and falls on the floor. Kaname was naked on top of the stairwell roof with her Taser just used to incapacitate the woman. Kaname jumps down. And walks closer to the young woman
“Her name is Yu Lan… Miss Chidori”
Kaname turns around and sees a man with long white hair wearing a coat, and he was standing right next to two giant men with hoods on. One of the giant men was carrying wraith over his shoulder.
“Who are you?”
“Does it matter Miss Chidori…”
Kaname gets a better look of the man’s face. “He looks just like Tessa… Is he Tessa’s brother?” She thought.
“I am Leonard…”
Yu Lan woke up.
“Well, well… You’re awake”
“You bastard!” Yu Lan yelled, drew her knife and threw it at Leonard. Leonard flipped his coat over and deflects the knife. One of the giant men lunged forward and grabbed Yu lan’s throat. The hood fell back and Kaname saw that it was a robot. Yu Lan was picked up off the ground. Kaname turned around, she thought that Yu Lan was about to get executed.
“What’s wrong?” Leonard asked
When Kaname turned to look at Leonard. He placed his arm around Kaname’s waist. He tips Kaname over and Kiss her. Kaname slaps Leonard.
“How dare you…” Kaname said in an angry tone
Suddenly the arm of the robot that was picking up Yu Lan, exploded, Then the head of the robot broke into pieces. Yu Lan ran off and jump off the side of the building. Then a man in full Military gear came out of the stairwell, with a modified AK-47. “Kaname! Get down!” The man yelled. Kaname saw the man’s face it was Keitaro. He aimed his assault rifle at Leonard and the second robot drops wraith and engages Keitaro. Keitaro fires burst rounds at the Robot with no effect. Then the robot gets his hands around Keitaro.
“Leonard!” Kaname yell
“I will forgive you if you let go of Keitaro and the fat man…”
Leonard chuckles and gives the robot a hand gesture. The robot lets go off Keitaro and picks up the remains of the other robot. He began to walk towards the stairwell
“Keitaro… like our new toys” asked Leonard “Tell your wife she’s still a hell of a shot…” he turns to Kaname “I’ll see you soon Miss Chidori”. Leonard and his robot turn and walks in the stairwell. Before Leonard gets into the stairwell Keitaro said “I’ll be sure to tell Angel about your little friends.” Leonard laughs and keeps on walking. Leonard gets his phone and calls somebody.
“Gates… It’s me… Be prepared… seems like SOULS is coming to our little party… Yeah he might come… I know, I know, you want to kill him… I see, send in all the new RCRK92’s in… Well we can’t be too sure now can’t we… besides a bunch of RK92’s in a British controlled area, is a great look for communist China… Well… I’ll see you in Hong Kong… Okay bye” Leonard close his phone
On the roof top, Kaname was on her knees. Keitaro walks up to Kaname and he places his Jacket on top of Kaname. Keitaro checks wraith.
“Hey you wanna stay here…” Keitaro asked wraith
“Yeah… Lemme die here…”
“Okay… Don’t worry about Chidori… I’ll guard her and I’ll go notify Mithril.”
“Thanks Major”
Keitaro stands and presses ear.
“Okay Honey, you can pack up now… I’ll meet you at the restaurant down stairs… Love you…” Keitaro depresses the button and turns to Kaname. He sees that she’s standing up.
“You better tell me what’s going on…”
“No problem… I’ll tell you over dinner with my wife. Come on… There‘s a great Chinese restaurant down stairs”
Down Town Hong Kong*
The Urz team has been deployed and has been fighting Venom for the past hour. A single AS fighting 7 M9’s and the Venom was winning
“Be careful! don’t get too close” Melissa shouted
“Don’t worry” Kurz replied firing his rifle
“Urz 2 We detected 15 AS around the area… It seems like there using ECS!” Urz 5 said
“Shit!” Kurz replied
“Okay everyone retreat!”
Hong Kong*
Sousuke was lead in to this apartment room. He thought “Who the hell is behind this door, Why have I been lead here for?” He kicks the door and checks the room, and then he sees him. Connected to a feeding tube, and different kinds of machines. “I see you’ve found me… Kashim.” Sousuke was shocked to find that Gauron was laying there half alive.
“How did you?” Sousuke draws his gun and points it at Gauron
“The lambda driver protected me from the blast…”
“You BASTARD… HOW!!!”
“Yes Kashim! Yes show me your true form… Show me that Child that I met in Hilmajistan! Show me those ‘eyes of the saint’! What! Can’t kill me your weak!”
“Shut up! Why have you leaded me here?”
A person in an all black uniform was sneaking by the door. The person peeks inside the room and sees Sousuke. Sousuke sees the person in the corner of his eye and aims his gun to take a shot at the person. The black figure moves swiftly in and places his left hand on Sousuke’s pistol and elbows Sousuke in the chin. Sousuke falls to the ground and the figure takes Sousuke’s gun and drops the magazine and cocks it once to take the round out in the chamber. Gauron was in bed smirking.
“Great timing… Angel…”
The figure sighs and takes his balaclava off. It was David. Sousuke didn’t know what to do anymore.
“I knew that voice was familiar…”
“I’m sorry for your loss angel… Your brother was a good man…”
“Shut up!” David yelled “It’s your fudgie organization’s fault that he died…”
“Hehehe…I know” Gauron said and began to laugh hysterically “Too bad your little sisters are about to die too…”
“Yu Lan And Yu Fan!” David said in fear. David draws his hand gun and gives it to Sousuke. “Sousuke, finish whatever you were doing here… I’ll explain to you everything later” David turned and ran off.
“I see that your kinda confused on who he was… Well you shouldn’t be Kashim…” Gauron said. Sousuke stands up and walks to the door to check the hallway. “See David, or Angel, was a fighter for good and justice, but before he was just like you Kashim… A cold blooded killer… He fought beside me, and what a soldier he was…”
“I don’t care about him! Why did you lead me here?” Sousuke said sternly and points his gun at him.
“Kill me Kashim!”
“Answer me!”
“Eh… you lost your eyes Kashim… Your eyes turned lame and your heart soft… Hmmm… it must be that girl…”
“Stop stalling, answer me!”
“You sure you want to know?” Gauron asked
“Answer me!”
“For the last month I’ve been bed ridden. I’ve been taken care of those two wonderful girls… You know them, The twins! One of the girls is piloting the AS right now, burning down Hong Kong, and the other is in Japan right now” Sousuke cringed “Well… I think she’s gone by now, now That blue haired girl is dead… and soon those two will be too…”
“What!” Sousuke yelled
“Your mission… You failed… Chidori is Dead! You lose Kashim!
Sousuke started to breathe heavily. He aims his gun at Gauron.
“There it is the eyes! The eyes that I fell in love with! Kashim! Shoot me please! Kill me!”
Sousuke squeezed the trigger and fired consecutive shots until his magazine was empty. Gauron’s life monitor went flat, but Sousuke still heard beeping sounds. The beeping became much rapider and he realized it was a bomb. Sousuke jumps out of the window and lands in the street.
Down Town Hong Kong*
Kurz turns his Anti ECS vision on.
“What the! There just a bunch of RK92’s”
“Well take them out” Grouseaux ordered
Kurz fired a volley shot and misses.
“What the hell”
He fires three more and misses
“What the hell Kurz!” Melissa shouted
“It’s not me… It’s my targeting system”
“What are they using Jammers?” Urz 8 asked
“No… It’s passive ECS” Grouseaux said
“It can’t be…” Melissa added
“Well it is… Okay team listen up. If those RK’s get too close, Knife them. Do not use a directional attack swing your blade!” Grouseaux said
“Copy that URZ1” The team answered back
“Here they come!” Melissa yelled
Melissa drew her Mono Molecular blade and turned on her Anti ECS and swung her blade. Then her Monitor started flickering. She misses her attack.
“What the hell! They are using Jammers!” Everyone fall back!” Grouseaux yelled
“Sir we can’t we’re completely surrounded!” Urz3 said
“What!”
“About 100 AS’s are converging in our position!”
“Damn it!”
Venom attacks Grouseaux M9 and destroys its left leg Melissa fires her rifle and the venom jumps onto the roof top. The RK92’s fire at the Venom but deflects it. The pilot was exhausted. 3 Rk92’s fire at Melissa and Melissa had to run behind a building.
“We need Support everyone fall back!”
“The enemy is converging in the south and the east! They’re trying to corner us with the Venom!”
“Damn it!”
Then there was a sudden explosion on the East of URZ team position.
“What the!”
“Melissa, Bell! Don’t trust your sensors! Turn off all your sensors except for the camera and wait for the ECS delay!” Some one shouted over the radio
“Leon!? Is that you?”
“Yeah! Up here!”
Melissa looks up and sees an outdated M6 with a Boxer shot cannon.
“Leave the clearing to us! Just keep fighting the Venom!”
Then the Venom leaps and tries to attack Leon’s AS. But something blocks her way. It was an AS. The AS turns off it ECS and it was a Black and Silver M6 with a Scythe hanging from its back.
“Brandon!” Melissa and Bel Shouted
“Stop destroying my city you bitch!” Ghost shouted and his AS kicked the Venom slamming it to the adjacent building’s wall.
“How the hell Did you get here!?” Bel asked
“We’ll explain later! Bel take URZ team on Assault Ghost and I will take care of Clearing”
“URZ team you heard the Lt. Cranston! Well keep on taking the Venom on!” Lt. Grouseaux ordered
Hong Kong (By the Burning apartments)*
Sousuke was in shock. He just killed his mortal enemy. He lost the girl. He lost his friends respect and trust. He couldn’t go back. He didn’t have a purpose with Mithril anymore.
“Sergeant Sagara! Are you okay?” One of Sousuke’s comrades shouted
Sousuke kept silent
“Sergeant Sagara we need you to pilot Arbalest! It’s en route! We’re being out numbered and being beaten by that Venom! We need you!”
“Chidori is Dead…”
“what!? Kaname is~ Still Sergeant! We need you!”
“I’m not going with you…”
“Fine… You’re not with us!” The man points his gun at Sousuke
Then out of the dark night The enormous Arbalest lands almost landing on Sousuke. He didn’t care, he didn’t even move.
“Piece of Garbage…”
“What do you mean piece of garbage?” Someone said in a familiar voice behind Sousuke
Sousuke turns around and Sees Kaname.
“You’re Dead!”
Kaname runs and Knees Sousuke in the face. Then Kicks him In the stomach.
“You see me and the first thing you say is ‘You’re dead’ I mean you leave without saying anything. No goodbyes! I had to make some lame excuse to save your sorry ass from failing school! Now You’re being over dramatic!”
Then she punches him. She advances forward and grabs Sousuke’s collar
“I… I L~ I am your Class President!” Kaname shouts. She sighs and says “Look your friends are dying out there! Help them Sousuke!”
Sousuke nods.
Down town Hong Kong*
Leon and Brandon was Fighting the RK92s while URZ team fought the Venom. Brandon draws his Mono Molecular Scythe. In one swing he destroys 3 AS’s. Leon was just using his Shot cannon taking out the AS and leaving Grenades to keep the opposition on their toes. Leon jumps on top of a building. He waits for the enemies to come. Seven AS’s surround the Building and Leon jumps off. Leon planted a charge on the building and he detonates it. The rubble falls on the Russian AS’s.
“Yahoo!” Leon yelled
“There’s more of them Knight!”
“Don’t sweat it!”
Melissa and Bel goes on the offence and fires at the Venom. The venom disables Bel’s rifle. It slams Melissa’s M9 to the wall and Grabs Bel’s M9 by the body. Suddenly 5 venoms appear in the Hong Kong skyline.
Somewhere in Hong Kong*
An AS was being set. The pilot was wearing a British Camouflage and wearing a balaclava
“I’m done!” The pilot said
The AS’s eyes lit up and said on the monitor “On Line”
