Love Hina: Inevitability
Prologue:
"Only one object is beyond both the power and mercy of the gods, they cannot make the past as though it had never been"
-Aeschylus-
A young boy wearing a gray sweater-jacket with a hood on his head was standing in the middle of a dimly lit warehouse. His hands were inside the pockets of his jacket as he stood there, several armed men surrounding him.
They carried MP5A5's and assorted side arms. The looks on their faces obviously showing slight amusement at what this boy had told them a moment ago. A man in a black business suit stepped forward as he lit a cigarette and took a puff, his long black hair which was about waist length hanging loosely behind him.
"So...you're telling me that Orochi industries sent you to make sure I keep my silence?" The man put the cig back in his mouth as he waited for the boy to reply.
"If that means killing you then yeah, you got it." said the boy as he smiled from underneath his hood.
"Hah, you got a sense of humor kid, I like that, but I don't think you'll be killing anyone tonight" said the man as he chuckled slightly.
"You are a threat to the Orochi. I was sent to kill you. Just making that clear" said the boy as he smiled at the man again. The man blinks and he feels something brush slightly across his cheek. The moment he regains vision he sees the boy holding his cigarette in between the fingers of his right hand.
"What the hell?" said the man in disbelief.
"You okay boss?" asked one of the goons beside him.
"Yeah I'm fine but did you see that?"
"See what boss?" asked the goon. The boy pulled down his hood and the man was even more surprised at what he saw. The boy was very young from the looks of his face. His messy jet black hair covered his eyes slightly but not enough to neither hinder vision nor hide his dark brown eyes.
"Just so you know..." the boy said as he stood the cigarette on the floor with its butt on the floor and the lit part facing upward. "My name is Hayato Koganei." said the boy as he reached behind him and pulled out a pair of gold plated .45 semi automatic pistols. "And you'll all be dead before this cigarette burns itself out" Hayato pulls the hammers back and smiles at them.
"I'd be running for cover right now if I were you" said Hayato finally as he raised his twin pistols at the shocked faces in front of him. The sound of gunfire erupted from the warehouse as it echoed off into the night.
Chapter 1: Hayato
The empty shell casings rolled on the floor producing a faint yet distinct metallic sound that echoed through the now empty warehouse.
Hayato looked around at his handiwork as he noticed someone still moving at the corner of his eye. He walked up to the half dead goon and kicked away the pistol he was trying to reach for.
He looked down at the bloodied man who stared back at him, not an ounce of fear noticeable in his eyes. Hayato took aim and fired. The bullet embedded itself in between the goon's eyes giving him a clean, painless death.
The top half of the pistol had locked itself backwards meaning that it had run dry. Hayato ejected the empty magazine and loaded a fresh one.
The boss lay still amongst the bodies of his dead men as he observed the boy reloading his gold plated pistol. "He killed everyone" the boss said to himself as he looked on at the bodies lying on the floor. "Unbelievable" he said behind clenched teeth.
"Is this what they were up to?" he asked himself silently.
-A few hours earlier-
"I told you he isn't ready!" said a man in a white lab coat. He looked quite old due to his hair which was almost completely silver aside from a few streaks of black still remaining. The deep wrinkles on his face was proof that time showed him no mercy in its passing.
He was speaking to another man much younger than he was. The man wore a black pinstriped business suit and his hair which reached slightly past his shoulders was slicked back with hair gel. "Our buyers are becoming impatient radius, we need to see what this unit can do." said the younger man
"No offense Yuichi but that is a stupid excuse to rush something this delicate" said the scientist.
"None taken ran, but understand doctor Aoyama that if we lose our clients then you will lose funding for this project" Ran Aoyama stood up.
"Rush this and we WILL lose the project" said ran as he looked at the huge glowing cylinder in the middle of the room "then make him ready, Orochi industries needs this unit to work, and I need to see what the SPEARs can do as well"
Ran glared at Yuichi. "Activation of the product is already uncertain but adding in the prototype SPEARs is too much" said ran as he slammed his fist onto the table causing a dent on its metal surface
"You're asking for a disaster yuichi!"
Yuichi nodded his head "do it ran or should I say radius?" ran glared at him "I didn't give you permission to use my nickname"
"Have the unit ready radius, do not make me 'persuade' you again" said Yuichi with a sense of finality in his tone. "Hah! Or what? You've already killed my family. Everyone I ever loved is dead Yuichi, thanks to you" radius said.
"I know more than you give me credit for radius, do not disappoint me or you'll know what I'm talking about"
Radius glared at him once more "just get the product ready Radius, no matter what the risk" he said as he walked out of the dimly lit laboratory. Before Yuichi could leave, ran had something to say first.
"His name is Hayato koganei, he deserves at least that much for what you put him through." said Ran as he looked at the cylinder once more. Inside was a boy not more than 16 years old with his jet black hair floating about in the orange liquid filling the cylinder. Several wires and tubes were attached to his body and on top of the cylinder was a steel plate bolted to its surface with the engraving:
"UNIT 03: koganei, hayato".
-Back to the present-
"I knew there was something different about you" said Hayato as he let his arms wielding the twin pistols hang loose at his sides. "You're special...not like these guys" the boy said as he shot a glance at the boss' direction, locking eyes with him instantly. The boss smiled inwardly as he slowly got up and picked up the cigarette hayato had placed on the floor earlier.
"My promise still stands" said Hayato as he trailed his pistols at the silhouette that slowly made its way to the light. "I'm still going to kill you before that cig dies out" said the boy referring to the cigarette in between the boss' fingers.
"I would've liked to see you in your true form Hayato" said the silhouette as he stepped into the light, revealing himself to be the "boss" Hayato threatened a while ago, when all his goons were still alive.
"I don't think so" said Hayato as his eyes narrowed.
"Pity...I hear you were supposed to be the perfected product" said the boss as he flicked the grey ashes of the burnt cig while twirling it between his fingers. "Show me Hayato, just how inferior I am to you." said the boss as he tossed the cig away and locked his gaze at the young man in front of him.
"Show me why the orochi needed this prototype dead" the boss snapped, the bitterness evident in his tone.
"Show me your true face." said the boss as he blinked once, showing that his irises had shifted from dark brown to crimson. His waist length hair started to turn silvery white from roots to tips. In a few seconds the boss' head was covered in silver locks of hair, his crimson eyes burning through the gaps in his bangs.
"I want to see just how perfect you are Hayato" said the boss as he gave him a "come on" signal. Hayato merely looked at him as a grin made its way across his face. "Level the field Hayato" said the boss. Hayato eased his stance as he closed his eyes. The boss grinned with anticipation.
-A few hours earlier-
Hayato was met by a warm towel as he stumbled out of his glass capsule. His blurry vision cleared and he saw the kind face of an elderly scientist greet him with a smile. "How are you feeling Hayato? Its good to have you back" said radius.
"Hayato...Hayato koganei, that's my name right?" he asked the scientist who chuckled slightly. "That it is, my name is Ran Aoyama, radius for short." Hayato smiled and extended his hand to radius who took it. "Nice to meet you radius-san" radius pulled Hayato to his feet and snapped his fingers at one of his scientists. The said scientist immediately returns with a set of clothes which radius hands to hayato. "Put them on, we have much work to do".
After a few minutes, Hayato and radius get on a black honda civic. The driver turns on the ignition and they speed out of Orochi laboratories and down the streets of tokyo which was bustling with nightlife. Radius briefs hayato who looks outside his window, amazed by the brilliant flashing lights in the streets.
"Hayato, you are aware of the SPEARs correct?" asked radius.
"Self Powered Enhancement and Adaptation Robots" said Hayato "they're supposed to give me ability boosts when activated right?" radius nodded in response "a warning about that however." said radius as he handed Hayato an attaché case.
"The SPEARs are still unstable, use them only in emergencies" said radius "for the meantime, use these." Hayato opens the attaché case and inside were two gold plated colt.45 semi automatic pistols with identical engravings of dragons wrapping around the lengths of its sides. Six magazines accomapany them, all encased in foam padding.
"Thanks radius-san!" said Hayato as he tucked the pistols into the back of his jeans and the magazines into his pockets.
They arrive and the car pulls over to let Hayato out. radius' window slides down and he gives Hayato a last piece of advice "leave no survivors" hayato nodded as he pulled his hood over his head and walked toward the warehouse.
-Back to the present-
Hayato opened his eyes and immediately tossed his pistols aside. They slid on the floor with a metallic clatter as he flashed the boss another mischievous grin.
"That should level the field just fine" said Hayato as he charged towards the boss. The jet black haired boy's approach was swift as he did a baseball slide, hopefully catching the boss off guard. The boss instead sidestepped and grabbed the hood of Hayato's gray sweater-jacket. The boss quickly threw him up several feet in the air.
Hayato was stunned at the boss' inhumanly quick reactions and suddenly felt a blunt object strike his spine with tremendous force. The pain that followed made the boy clench his teeth as the boss immediately followed that knee to the spine with an elbow to the chin.
hayato' head snapped back as the boss continued his assault. The boss followed the right elbow with a swift left fist. Hayato was however quick enough to block the fist with his arms which only transferred the pain from his face to his forearms instead. The boy plummeted to the ground and crashed into some old crates. They splintered into millions of pieces and sent dust flying about as the boss landed gracefully back to earth.
The boss glanced at the pile of shattered lumber and saw no Hayato. He smiled as he heard the fluttering of clothes coming from above him. Hayato had leapt into the air and was attempting to land a foot in the boss' face with as much force as possible. The boss caught his foot and used his downward momentum to pull Hayato closer and retaliated with the back of his left fist to his face. The teenager's head snapped back at the tremendous force and the boss wasted no time with landing flurry after flurry of lightning fast punches on Hayato's defenseless torso. When the boss had felt that he had broken each and every one of Hayato's ribs he ended the boy's pain with a roundhouse kick that sent him flying into the unforgiving embrace of a concrete wall.
He collided with the wall and slumped down to the floor an unconscious and bloody mess. Lacerations, bruises, broken bones and internal bleeding only worsened Hayato's present predicament as he saw the boss inch closer to him.
He glanced at the cigarette on the floor. "Shit it's almost out" said hayato to himself as he struggled to stand himself up.
"Only in emergencies" repeated radius' voice inside Hayato's head. He saw the nearly burnt out cig once more and said to himself
"This definitely counts as an emergency" Hayato closed his eyes and said "SPEAR units activate."
Hayato's hair turned into the same silvery white shade as the boss' and his eyes turned crimson as well as he stood up. "Cell regeneration is at maximum output" said hayato as he felt his ribs go back into place. The bruises quickly disappeared as he wiped the blood from his mouth. He stared at the boss who grinned back at him.
"That's what I've been waiting for" said he boss as he initiated the charge this time.
Hayato evaded the boss' right fist which was en route toward his face and quickly parried it as the boss tried to swing his right arm at him after the miss. Hayato clutched the boss right arm tightly as he pulled him closer and landed several strikes at the boss upper torso with his free left hand. He finished with a right handed uppercut to the boss stomach which made the boss collapse.
The boss knelt in front of hayato as he clutched his battered and broken upper torso. The salty, irony taste of blood filled his mouth as he looked up at the boy.
"Perfect indeed" he said as hayato grabbed him by the neck and raised him several inches from the floor. The boy locked eyes with the boss. "Last requests?" he asked as he tightened his grip on the boss. "Remember...the trinity, your family" said the boss as he forced the words out of his partially constricted throat. Hayato scanned his head for any records on this "trinity" but found none.
"Sorry, can't help you there" said Hayato as he snapped the boss' neck. The boss' body went limp as his last breath escaped him. Hayato let the body slump down to the floor as he picked up the burnt cigarette as the last of its embers slowly died out. The boy flicked it away and smiled as he closed his eyes. "SPEAR units deactivate" his hair reassumed its jet black shade and his eyes reverted to its original dark brown color.
"Mission accomplished, awaiting extrac-" a ringing sound made hayato pause mid sentence. It started to get louder and louder until hayato was forced to cover his ears.
"Where the hell is that coming from?!" he said as the sound increased in pitch and volume. Suddenly a sharp pain shot through hayato's entire body as he collasped on the ground out of excruciating pain. hayato let out a blood curdling scream as he convulsed on the ground.
His hair was now quickly growing in length. In a matter of seconds, his hair had grown past waist length and had started to revert to their silvery white color.
Hayato screamed as he clutched his head which throbbed in blinding pain. His eyes had become crimson once more. He tried to get up amidst the blinding pain he was in but failed and instead lay motionless on the floor. His vision slowly faded to black as the pain continued to course through his entire system.
Visions started to flood hayato as he lay on the cold warehouse floor, Visions of two men. One had long hair covering the left side of his face, the other wearing a black bandana that held his long blonde hair back. They were standing side by side in front of a squad of armed men.
He could only watch the muzzle flashes as fear kept his feet riveted to the floor. He saw his two companions succumb to the unforgiving pieces of metal tearing through their bodies. He felt the pain, he could taste the blood. He fell to his knees as the squad reloaded.
Hayato managed to see something in the background before the firing squad could finish him off. It was an insignia, a dragon eating its own tail. It glowed red behind the firing squad as he read the silver letterings above it. "OROCHI INDUSTRIES".
With another blood curdling scream, hayato completely lost consciousness and everything faded to black.
To be continued…(hopefully)
