Chapter 2: The Armor Design and Wepons explanation
"Now that all the representatives for each style of combat we sanction are here let's begin" Dr Cain started "sound off and include your combat type and weight class or the suggested weight class for your combat type."
"Sir Yes sir," all except Edge and Dr Cain
"Cassandra, Ultra light, blade based hand to hand combat and blaster combat"
"Siegfried, Ultra Heavy, Heavy Artillery and minor hand to hand combat"
"Alexander, suggested medium to heavy, artillery and heavy ranged combat"
"Adam, light to heavy, ranged hand to hand and mechanical sabotage"
"Megaman X, Ultra Light to Heavy weight class due to armor, buster and moderate hand to hand, bare hand,"
"Zero, medium weight class, beam saber and hand to hand, minor buster combat"
"Well Nightshade who was once Edge what do you want to do?" Dr Cain asked mildly
"Can I design my own armor and weapons?" Nightshade asked
"Well you can draw the armor and describe the weapons," Dr Cain responded still using a mild tone of voice.
"Ok here's what I want" Nightshade says as a printer nearby starts printing seemingly at random, the printout shows a ninja like armor close to X's Ninja Armor out of Megaman X6, but with huge differences, firstly no weird thing going back like an antenna from the helmet a nice buster, that is actually like the X buster is normally, Shuriken, kunai and two swords, one beam saber and one traditional steel sword, but the traditional sword is sharpened to the thickness of an atom. The armor itself seems to be black but has an ability to shift colors so that the wearer can blend in anywhere, other than where the surroundings are one simple stark color.
"Please lemme explain how I want the armor to work before you all leave, unless you have assigned duties that are quite important" Nightshade says before anyone can do anything but grab the printout.
"All right I'm all ears" Dr Cain and Adam say almost simultaneously
"Thank you, ok here is the armor's specs it can shift colors so that the wearer can blend in anywhere, other than where the surroundings are one simple stark color… Oh before I forget call my friend Eric Adams, he's a chemical engineer and he's been working on a compound that is beam blade resistant and shifts colors with the user's whim. He's very careful about who finds out about his projects so you'll need to read this poem that has become a sort of password between us." As Nightshade finishes the printer spits out a short poem, it doesn't rime but that's unimportant. Zero takes the page and says that he'll deal with the call.
Later
Zero calls the number that Edge provided him with on the printout that had the poem that was also a password.
"Ok if you don't believe me here doubt this" Zero starts, and then reads the poem to Eric
"Oh my god, how the hell did you get that poem if Edge is dead?" Eric responds, who is surprised to hear the poem, "Ok I believe you now tell me which hospital you're at and I'll be there ASAP."
"We're at the hospital in the MHHQ, I'll set up a password so you can get in without a hunter insignia, and the password is Zero Lux Arbiter," Zero states mildly, as though it is unimportant.
Shortly after they hang up
"Zero Lux Arbiter," says Eric as he walks up to a guard in front of the MHHQ
"Ahh you'd be that engineer that Zero was telling us to let through ok, your cleared here put this temp patch on your coat." The guard responds to the correct password handing him a small patch.
"Thank you. Oh could you give me directions to where I can find my friend?" asks Eric as he places the patch on his odd coat.
"I could call Zero and tell him you're here, if you would like." The guard responded
"Of course Thanks again."
"you made it, good, I'll show you the way to the infirmary to see your friend Nightshade." Zero said as he walked up to Eric
"Nightshade?" Eric asked curiously
"That's his new name, he discarded his old name" Zero explains
"oh really, is his old body dead?" Eric asked
"yes and there'll be a service for it and all" Zero responded almost too casually
"Wish I'd known that…" Eric trailed off
"he wants to go to his own services so it'll wait until he's armored and able to leave the med lab." Zero said seeming almost depressed by the fact that one would want to go to their own funeral.
"well I'd better get his armor's materials ready quickly huh?" Eric said
"We're here" Zero said "I'll be going now"
"Don't go far I don't know the way out" Eric said really not wanting the legend to leave him alone.
