ALPHA STREAM

"REQUIEM"

CHAPTER 1 :In the year 2013 a war between countries afflicted the world. countries turned on each other ,chaos in every turn. days filled people with terror,

gore and blood filled the streets,leaders in the UN never could asses the problem at hand, people now realized that it was the start of World war III. What

once a peaceful world , now at the brink of breaking itself to pieces. but one man stepped forth to calm the chaotic storm that has settled in the worlds

peaceful hearts, together with 4 mysterious machines that he controls. as soon as the UN heard of this it was thought that it was impossible to bring this world

to a joint future, but they were brought by this mans courageous will and ended them with the idea of hope and without a choice, so they supported him in

controlling this mayhem. day by day in each country they settled the problem calming everyone in each society. taking control against terrorist and rogue

military soldiers. they finished off all threats that started this breakdown. though it was a very hard job, with days without rest they still hoped and pressed

forth because of the mans courage and will. years gone by the peace that was once destroyed was now restored all thanks to one man and his 4 great

companions. but one day ,few days after he was about to be commemorated as being the worlds saviour he left without a trace, the world could never

properly thank the man for what he did, the world fearing that this apocalypse might soon arise again, they build the same machines the man used to bring

this world together, a project of each individual to protect the right and defend them from threat, the project that they could remember from the person that

saved all of them. the projects name was ALPHA STREAM. the Alpha streams are mechanized humanoid exosuits built for the sole purpose of increasing the

militaries defenses and to protect countries from foreign threat. each country is assigned to only have 3 AS mass production company in the capital. the model

types of AS are : GUARDIANS, INTERCEPTORS, and OVERLORDS. GUARDIAN type AS are built to take damage to an extent which makes it durable to anything.

having a high dense armor plating but power on its shield is at mid capacity because it solely relying on its armor. INTERCEPTORS are very fast when it comes

to 1-on-1 battle. it relies greatly on its wheel propeled heels, which in return shifts its velocity, air resistance and speed making it very good for a fast

takedown. this type of AS has a very little chance of endurability due to its light armor plating but this type has its shield capacity set on max level, interfering

with its weight could distort its balance. OVERLORD type of AS built to take in extreme damage to which none could ever take it down. its whole body is

completely equipped with heavy armed artillery making it ready for anything. due to its size and armor plating it moves much slower than the rest AS because

of everything it is equipped with because of this it is made to have 4 legs rather than just 2. it is mostly known as a tower than a assault mech. because of this

the founder knew a solution to make it more combat efficient, by adding on all its legs wheel propelled heels, same as the INTERCEPTOR. due to this it can

move slightly faster, so to speak. piloting this AS takes precision and multitasking only a few are able to master it completely. ALPHA STREAMS can only be

operatable if the core drive is compatible with its user using DNA synchronization and the physical performance of the pilot. also AS can only owned if one is

affiliated with a major company leading to the countries AS company industry. CORE DRIVES are found in the chest compartment on all AS, it is the main power

source of such machine. CORE DRIVES are powered by solar-plasma particles which gives power to both the AS and its shield. the project was introduced by

Mirai miyami, the unknown hero's closest friend and associate, in the late 2013 with a group of mechanics, during the breakdown that happened so long ago.

as of today the world holds academies for future protectors upholding the name of justice and peace. they stand with their AS in battle to prevent the past

from happening. but when there is peace there will always be chaos. soon after we meet with a very unpredictable moment that will unfold , about a certain

boy and a very uncertain past of a very odd machine.

Aoi Kakuzaki is just a normal high school boy good mannered , but a little clumsy at time, and helpful to others at times. Both his parents died when he was still

young in a car crash in a cold dark winter night, and now supported by his uncle he lives a normal life as a high school boy. In class he often sleep. Often lonely

due to a traumatic past. Living everyday normally his whole life seeing other people and his classmates. He often sees the Alpha stream academy just across the mountainside.

Sometimes dreaming of going into it one day because of his what his parents taught him... "to never give up and always putting oneself before another."

One afternoon as he went home he walked by the bayside to see the sunset until he saw a ship, a cargo vessel getting closer to shore and crashed.

A huge black cargo slides across the ships hull and dropped down. Curious and concerned he went after the ship and found no survivors but he did saw an

Alpha Stream with a name on its side "TYPE : GUARDIAN" complaining and looking around. As he found himself in a very deadly situation he ran towards the

bayside but was seen by a second Alpha Stream. He ran as fast as he can, but was still outruned by the AS. Nowhere to run ,he stumbled on the black cargo

he saw earlier and when all seemed lost for him, he accidentaly put his hand on an access port and the cargo opened in a burst, surprsing both the AS, then

oneof them said.

"there it is ,the lost AS model, c'mon".

Aoi had nowhere to run but out of instinct he went inside the opened AS with a name carved into its forehead. "REQUIEM"

seeing the name he then closed it . Being new to an AS he didnt know what to do, but the two AS were coming towards him and armed. sensing their presence he shakes the controls of the AS.

"c'mon,c'mon move you stupid machine,move dammit"

then at the last minute he remembered the name on the forehead and shouted.

"REQUIEM!".

Then everything inside and outside the machine glowed in a blue light. with no time to hesitate he took the controls sliding it in his arms and legs then he gained control.

the two AS then stopped. Aoi gaining control of such machine he had enough wits to fight back. Running straight towards one of them he left the other in shock. having lack of AS combat skills he was outmatched and was pushed back but he felt oness with the machine and gained little reflexes.

" o this is how hard piloting an AS is...ARGHHHHHH!"

still taking hold of the enemy, he was tossed back by the other. Then one AS pulled out a desolator plasma cannon (a semi class level 5 weapon powered by plasma particles) then fired at Aoi.

"wait that's...a plasma canno-ARGHHHHHH!" said Aoi as he gets hit with multitude of plasma charged shells.

seeing Aoi and the requiem getting shot he still continued to fire.

"we got him...aint no way he could have survive it."

firing such amount of plasma charged shells the whole bay side was covered in a sandstorm. moments later as the smoke cleared , in surprise they saw the Requiem with its arms crossed still standing.

"I-Its impossible...how?" said the pilot in feeling goosebumps in his back

"not even a single dent! " said the other pilot holding the cannon

Aoi also was in surprise to see himself alive. not minding how it survived they prepared to take him down

"Bahhhh- I don't care lets just finish this and be done with it! " said the pilot getting furious

then the pilot draws out a plasma particle scimitar (a semi class level 4 weapon also powered by plasma particles ) towards Aoi. then from the back he used his thrust drive, and dashed forward towards Aoi.

Confused and nearly death ,again, he was able to dodge it then maneuvered his way to find something to fight back with. Punching all kinds of buttons a flash of blue words screened in "DEPLOY CORE DRIVE BLADE".

reading it he didnt hesitated and said

"DEPLOY!"

saying that something clicked from the back of the Requiem and there launched a black half diamond-like shape object with a curved end and a sharp side to it. then it landed not far from him. seeing what happened, it suddenly increased a bit in height, expanding itself. not knowing what it is he grabbed it on time to block the attack,as they were crossing swords the other pilot tried to backstab Aoi. Finding both himself and the Requiem at a very bad standoff ,the Requiems sword suddenly lit up in a blue light releasing also blue particles in the area.

seeing the light suddenly appearing it blinded both the pilots. as he holds his sword against the other he observed the core drive on both the pilots AS started to flicker as if it was running out of energy. not only that he also noticed both of the AS bodies something kept on flickering, like a shield being worn out. as Aoi kept blocking he noticed on the eye screen a sign saying "ENERGY OUTPUT ABSORBED: 600 %" then Aoi felt his AS getting lighter as if it was his whole body,even when his AS is twice the weight on both AS hes fighting. Having that much power Aoi had the power to finish the both of them.

preparing to start his counterattack ,the pilots tried to get away from the Requiem but it couldn't move as if it was stuck on the ground felling both AS getting heavy as a stack of cars piling up on his back.

Then Aoi saw an oppurtunity to land a direct hit at the AS he's fighting, with all force he smashed his sword at him. Turning his attention to the AS behind him ,Same as the other pilot his AS couldn't move either. Aoi gave him a a direct hit in the front and ended the fight. Aoi on the other hand was both in shock and in relief to end it. Then he wondered.

"how can I operate this so easily, its actions were so quick as if it knows what I'm thinking".

suddenly, without him catching a breather, the S.T.R.E.A.M (Special Tactic Recons Emergency Agency for Mandatory operations) showed up surrounding the bay side. then most of them approached the AS Aoi took down and and Aoi then opened it apprehending both the pilots and Aoi. Aoi claiming hes not involved in the incident ,even though hes involved in the situation now for activating an unknown model of an AS, tried to explain to them, but sadly none believed. then he was escorted to the prison truck were the two pilots were there. just as when he was about to be put in by two soldiers from the S.T.R.E.A.M. a woman wearing a black formal business attire having long hair colored in orange and eyes of dark green suddenly approached the two soldiers escorting Aoi.

"may I take that boy, I need to have an important word with him"

seeing the woman stopping them from doing their job, both suggested that she leave it alone.

"excuse me, ma'am but this is a very classified work. its best if you stay out of it. "

said one of the soldiers.

"Sorry to interrupt you but clearly i have clearance to do so."

she then faces them with a very strict attitude.

"I am Shizuka miyami daughter of mirai miyami ,co-head of the AS project. and at this junction it is also my classified business."

hearing that both of them were shocked and saluted to her.

"m-m-miss miyami you mean...sorry ma'am we couldn't recognize you, our humblest of apologies." said the other officer in a shivering voice.

"its fine. i appreciate your hard work but next time try to have glasses if you dont want to be removed from the force."

"yes,mam" said both the officers.

afterwards Aoi was handed over to shizuka and both the soldiers head off. and then she watched Aoi with also the smae strict face she showed the soldiers earlier.

"how did you operate it".

Aoi got confused hearing the question

"what?"

then she took a deep breath and again asked.

"please try to cooperate with were you able to operate it suddenly without syncing with its core drive."

being in the fear of seeing that face again he finally got it.

"you're talking about the AS that I operated earlier...for the record i don't even know how or any other stuff it did but... the moement it glowed blue and not only that, the moment i went in it felt like both me and it were...one. "

shizuka merely satisfied with the answer, she starts to think of a possible solution.

"hmmmm...i see. clearly what youre saying is true, seeing your performance, though."

hearing what shizuka said he suddenly looked at her with a surprising expression.

"you've been watching the entire time."

with shizuka still thinking she answered him anyway.

"yes"

then she finally comes to a solution. but before that she still gave him a bit more questions.

"so you don't have any idea on how you did it"

"maybe,i don't even know what that model this is but it looks old, like it was made in the year 2014 to...i don't know 2018...wait-"

then he suddenly stopped and continued with another question.

"where did you find this, anyway?"

looking at the requiem she gladly answered

"this was found from Okinawa near a mountain side,but we basically know that it is a generation 1 model (G1) like one of those other AS types that started the G1,G2, G3 and its like the ones that startd the whole AS project."

"but this one truly mystifies me in a way, back in the lab we experimented on it and operated on it, sadly even our greatest pilots couldn't even operate it we tried all sorts of thing but still none."

"but what truly bugs me is how you manage to operate it and how it could be more powerful than a G4 GUARDIAN TYPE ALPHA STREAM."

"well maybe theres one thing i know i could tell you about it, but how i activated it was just said its name "REQUIEM" then it just suddenly glowed and then i started to operated and lend me control of itself".

with shizuka puzzled at that, she changed her last decision and finally made one, clearly.

" (sigh) well have to do more research on this model but since only you can operate it well have to keep a close observation on how it does best in other AS".

Aoi got confused on that question, a little bit.

"what?"

"well have to enroll you to the Alpha Stream academy to do that. there's no need for you to go to compatibility test since its probably linked to you"

Aoi hearing what shizuka said he felt obliged and surprised because his lifelong goal is to go the place he often see on his way to school. then afterwards Aoi was given a lift to his apartment and also his AS was put back in its cargo with the help of the S.T.R.E.A.M and afterwards it was given a chopper lift to Aoi's apartment covered in by trees in the back.

afterwards he was given instructions by shizuka, saying whats need to be said to him shizuka left. after a while he was tucked with all his stuff in his room readied, he then heads outside looking at the stars.

"cant believe it im going to the place where ive always wanted to be"

then he turned his attention tot he black cargo at his left covered by the trees.

"its all thanks to you buddy. I'm looking forward to the things that's goin to happen to you and me." said Aoi as he looks at its cargo name "REQUIEM"
