DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN SEKIREI! Happy now -_-
Begin
Tokyo/Shinto Teito Airport
(For Honor OST- Promise)
In the airport of Shinto Teito, a tall and armored individual walked out. The armored person has a tall, golden poleaxe and is heavily armored since the armor is plate armor. Everyone in the area looked at the armored person strangely, which is reasonable since this is the twenty-first century. The armored person walked and took off their helmet to see the town, revealing a young man with emerald eyes and shoulder length yellow hair.
The armored man name is Linus Lloyd, a knight ordered by his order to watch over the country of Japan. In other word, to be a just knight in the capital of Japan due to some ominous rumors happening in Tokyo. Linus put back his helmet and walked around while remembering the pain of getting to Japan in the first place.
Let me tell you, it wasn't pleasant. Despite being raised by an old order of Knights, they were able to keep up the changes of the world so the new technology around Linus isn't too foreign for him. However, that doesn't mean he could get on the plan Scott-free. Three problems he had to endure before his departure.
The first problem is getting to the airport. Without a mobile vehicle to use to get Linus to the airport fast, Linus had to travel to the nearest airport…by foot. Oh, sure he could hitch hike a ride, but who in their right mind will help a heavily armored man with a real live poleaxe.
There was the option to use a horse from the Order, but the horses are too weak to carry him in his full plate armor. So, walking for three days straight it is.
The second is at the airport itself. After walking for three days and nights, hunting and eating the wild life in the forest, Linus arrived at the airport with no problem. Only for him to be stopped by authorities and well…
Flashback
"Sir, you can't be serious? You are in an old, but durable armor with a tall poleaxe beside you. Why would we allow access to one such as you in our airport?" The chief of the security said with a scowl on his face. Linus sighed and gave the chief a note. The chief read the context of the note before laughing out loud.
"Bwahahahaha! You're going to be costume party for your younger sister, and you accidently shipped your clothes to Japan!? Are you an idiot or did someone pulled a prank on you?"
Linus only sighed and nodded, making the chief to laugh even harder.
"Hahahahaha! Alright, I guess we can let you on the airplane to see your sister. Just make sure that you keep your "weapon" away from the passengers and you will be fine." The chief said while holding his laughter. Linus bowed to him before leaving the room.
"Make sure no one tries to send your stuff before you get on the plane buddy!"
After hearing a marvelous piece of advice from chief Mcdouchebag.
Flashback End
One of the most embarrassing moments in his life; and he had a lot of embarrassing moments during his ass being ki…I mean taking a very difficult training sessions with the Knights.
The final problem was the ride itself. EVERYONE IN THE PLANE KEPT STARING AT HIM. There was even a person who threaten to call the police should he try anything. Geez, does people really don't know anything about the Knights back in the day? Apparently not!
Linus shook his head from the three-major interference and remembered the mission he was given by the Order. Apparently, there has been strange changes happening in Japan. To be specific, Tokyo. The Knights has little to offer about only that a large company is taking control of the city. The Knights has decided to assign Linus to travel to Tokyo and make sure that the innocents are not being abused and the law are still just. Linus agreed since he is a part and sole active officer of the Lawbringers, men trained in heavy armor and the poleaxe to deliver justice in a lawless land. He is the sole active Lawbringer due to the other Lawbringers has aged and the younger generations are not old enough to join their ranks. Linus understands what he means.
Now that looks around the scenery closely, there are small squads of black clothed men lingering around. Linus assumes they are the authorities but need to investigate further about. Oh well, it should be easy to ask what is going on around here. After all, who can say no in the armor he's wearing?
Hours Later
Okay, so after trying to ask the folks around here with a difficult time speak their language, Linus has gotten the gist of the situation here. From the locals, a pharmaceutical company called the Mid Bio Informatics, or MBI for short, has been buying out over eighty percent of Tokyo. The company is run by a man named Minaka Hiroto, the CEO and founder of the MBI. Not to mention that the company is powerful enough to have its own army.
'Now this is strange, why would a pharmaceutical company wanted to buy out most of Tokyo?' Linus thought. 'There is no war or a deadly plague spreading around here? So, what in the world does the MBI needs an entire city for?'
Linus walked into a park and night soon covers the sky. Linus then just realized that he forgot to find somewhere to rest in and was about to leave until he saw something strange. (A/N: I know this is a little redundant but come on, the rich boy is a prick and Akitsu shown no emotions around the damn boy, so bear with me.) He saw a woman with short, light brown hair, a bloody lab coat around her, and a strange mark on her forehead sitting on a bench. The blood is what caught Linus's attention and he went to see if the woman is hurt? Thanks to his armor, he created loud noise that caught her attention and looked at Linus. Linus narrowed his eyes when he saw the blank and dead-looking expression. Her eyes, while pretty, does not have any emotion or even a slimmer of light within.
"Excuse me miss?" Linus asked as he approached the woman. "Are you okay?"
The woman looked up and told him in a dead tone. "I do not know. I am worthless…a mistake by the scientists." Linus felt his hand grip his handled harder as he looked at the woman. He can tell that the woman has gone through some serious hell, not to mention that she mentioned scientists. Linus looked closely at the coat to see the MBI letters on the right shoulder of the coat. 'Did the MBI experimented on this woman? I don't understand their reason. What I do understand that they need to answer to my axe.' Linus thought darkly.
"It is not safe of you be out here alone. May I help you?" Linus asked as he put his hand forward for her to grasp on. The woman looked at the hand for a few moments before laying her hand on his. 'His hand…it is so warm despite being covered in armor…who is he?' The woman asked. "My name is Linus Lloyd, the Lawbringer. Mind I know your name?" The woman started at the helmet to see if she can faze through to see his face before answering, "I am Sekirei Scrapped number 7, Akitsu." Linus was about to comment about the Sekirei and being a scrapped number until…
"Well, well…what do we have here? A Old Knight trying to catch my pretty little bird? I don't think so."
Linus turned around to see two people behind him. One is a slim teenager with brown hair and eyes. He wears a white formal attire that screams "rich boy!" from the distance. Beside him is a tall man with messy silver hair and grey eyes. He wears a set black pants and a long-sleeved shirt, with an 'X' leather crossbands over his chest and a sword on his hip.
"Tell me, to what do I need to do for you to move aside so I can have her. I will pay you nicely if you do so~" The teen said while singing the last bit, expecting Linus to trade Akitsu for money…which he doesn't. Linus shook his head, making the teen pout.
"Oh, come on! A cosplayer like you have no right to deny me. But if you insist, Mustu, remove him from my presence." The Silver haired man, Mustu, nodded before drawing his sword. "Please forgive me, but you should have taken the money when you had the chance. I'm sorry." Mustu said remorsefully before dashing towards Linus with the intent to kill. 'I will end this with one swift strike to the heart.'
Akitsu felt her heart accelerate as the ninja (Admit it, he's a ninja) comes closer to Linus, his sword aiming for his heart. When Mustu got in range and strike Linus's chest,
DING
Mustu's sword only stopped abruptly at the chest.
*gasp* 'You are telling me, that the armor is real? Then that means…' Linus swing his poleaxe horizontally to take Mustu's head. Mustu expertly backflipped and pose himself in a battle stance. Linus doing the same with the poleaxe over his head, with the tip pointing at Mustu.
"Mustu! What's taking so long?" The teen impatiently asked.
"Sorry Mikogami-sama, but the man's armor is real…and so is that weapon."
"Huh? So, he is the real deal eh? No matter, deal with him so I can get my pretty bird." Mikogami ordered before looking at Akitsu like a prize to be won. This made Linus angry and spiritually buffed himself up for a short amount of time. Mustu then attacked and strike to Linus's left shoulder, but Linus blocked it with his weapon before grabbing Mustu's shoulder and threw him to a tree. Mustu got stunned by the sudden impact and had no time to dodge a heavy hit from the blunt side of Linus's poleaxe, making him see white for a second.
"No superstes!" (English: No survivors)
Mustu then felt something hit him in the stomach and was vaulted over Linus and landed roughly on the ground. He quickly rolled over to dodge the axe blade and steady his breathing for a second. 'This man is good. To be able to not only his me, but to see the world white for a second before making me hit the ground hard. I can't be careless.' Mustu then decided to dash left and right to confuse Linus for a second. Linus couldn't keep track of Mustu and took some cuts on his exposed chainmail side. 'Good. I can hurt him if I can strike his chainmail.' Mustu thought before making the same motion for another attack. However, Linus swung his poleaxe in a 360-degree radius, forcing Mustu to back off.
Mustu then blocked a heavy attack before taking the tip of Linus's weapon shaft to the face before being hit with the axe blade, giving him a serious wound on the side. Mustu clutched his side and looked at Linus. He then notices Linus's side is bleeding, but his opponent is powering through the pain.
'Amazing. I never seen someone with that much pain tolerance.' Mustu was about to come up with another plan of attack until…
"Mustu retreat. It seems our friend here doesn't not want us to have my little bird. Not to mention that wound is pretty serious." Mikogami said with a slight amount of worry in his tone. Mustu nodded and backed away from Linus before grabbing Mikogami and disappeared.
Linus eased up his stance and glanced back at Akitsu. She felt something boiling inside during the fight and it made her body hot. 'What is this feeling…I am getting all hot suddenly.' "Looks like they are not coming back for a while. Come on before it really gets dark. Also, I should try to find you some new clothes." Akitsu nodded and both left to find somewhere to sleep in the Eastern part of Tokyo.
However, while they were traveling Linus spotted a woman being chased by two other women. The woman being chased is a long black-haired woman tied with a bow and brown eyes. She wears a red and white kimono and has a Naginata on her right hand. The two women following her consists of a woman wearing pure white silks that covers her limbs and her important parts, but Linus can't see her face. The other woman has blonde short hair and a black leather top up from her belly, leather bloomers and stockings.
"Leave me alone!" The kimono-wearing woman shouted as stopped in front of an alley. The two women then appeared in front her and posed themselves to fight, the one wearing silk had veils around her while the other has blade-topped strings over her fingers.
"Tough shit No. 87. Higa-sama wants us to bring you in and we will complete our orders." The blonde woman said.
"Fine then. If I'm going to fall in battle then I will fight with honor (Hehehe…). I am No.87, Kaho!" The black-haired woman said as she readied her Naginata. The blonde woman merely sucked her teeth.
"Whatever. I'm No. 31, Sai! And we are going to take you in!" Sai said. She was about to attack until…
"De Medio Fiat!" (English: Out of the Way! Not really one of quotes but it fits his chase attack)
An armored man plunged the tip of his poleaxe into the stomach of Sai. Sai was shocked that someone got the drop on her and she crashed on the nearby dumpster. Sai felt the tip slip out and she glared at her assailant.
"What's the big idea hot shot? You want to die as-," She never got to finish as Linus drove his poleaxe into her body again, but this time lifted her up until the she looked at him from above. 'What the…hell? Who the fuck…is this bitch…' Sai thought before Linus trips over his poleaxe and made Sai land roughly on the ground. Honestly, Linus should feel guilty of killing her, but he feels like he didn't because there is something special about them. The Veiled woman looked at the armored man and quickly decided to take her fallen companion and retreat into the city. Linus wondered why did the veil woman not attack him but he has more pressing matters at hand.
"Ano…Arigato for your assistance. I thought I would fall here today. Are you a Sekirei as well?" Kaho asked. Linus shook his head, making Kaho confused. "Nani? You're not? But you were able to severely wound Sai with that poleaxe. No offense but humans are weaker than us Sekirei so…Nevermind. All it matters is that you saved me." Kaho then bowed to Linus, but felt something within her heart. 'What? My heart stopped for a moment, and my body feels slightly hot.'
"Master, there are no other Sekirei within the area. We are safe for the moment." Akitsu said as she appeared behind Linus.
"Wait what? Akitsu, why are you calling me master?" Linus was confused, when did she started calling him that? 'Master? Does this means that he is a Ashikabi?' Kaho thought as Linus tries to convince Akitsu not to call him master…in which he fails.
"Alright fine, you can call me master, but ONLY when there is no one around!" Linus ordered Akitsu. Akitsu gave a small smile, which made Linus's heart to skip a beat, and accepted his request. Linus then turned to Kaho. "Do you have anywhere to go?"
"Oh, um…I have nowhere so uhh…hehe?" Kaho laughed nervously.
'I may be going to regret this.' "You can come with us if you like. I need to find Akitsu clothes anyway so another woman can help me with that since I will admit…I have no sense of fashion. Period." Linus offered while looking down at the lack of fashion sense for himself. It's the whole reason why he would rather wear this armor than wearing dull clothing.
"I don't mind. I can see why when I see her with only a lab coat over her. Though…I don't know any clothes stores around here." Kaho admitted. Linus sighed and went on a journey to find at least ONE clothing store before finding a motel. He really does not want people think he's a cruel bastard for having a half-naked woman following him.
Shinto Teito Northern District
As Linus's company tries to find a clothing store in the Northern reaches of Shinto Teito, they heard a cry of denial from an alleyway. Linus responded first by charging in there and had the intent to kill when he saw a hooded man trying to force himself on a girl. The girl light brown hair with blue ribbons wove in and grey eyes. She wears a thigh length, tight white gown and shows off her chest a bit and black stockings as well as black gloves.
"Come on little lady…I know about this whole game and you want strong Ashikabi to survive, right? So, let me…kiss…you bitch…" The man said while trying to break through her resistance.
"No! You are not the one I want. I'm not even reacting to you!" The girl shouted as she pushed him. The man glared at her and pulled out a switchknife to threaten her. "Listen here, I know you can't hurt me, but I can sure hurt you so you will-,"
"BEEP BEEP!" The guy was interrupted when Linus impaled him with the bottom of his weapon shaft and pushed him into the wall. The man gasped out in pain until a strong blow to the head knocked him unconscious. Linus looked down at him in disgust and rose his axe to kill him, but the brown-haired girl stopped.
"Wait! I know he was trying to force himself on me but that doesn't mean he must die! Let the authorities handle him please?" The girl said with tears appearing in her eyes. Linus has a soft spot for crying girls and while he should kill this man right now, the girl does not need to see death right now. Besides, Linus can't afford to be labeled as a murderer on the first day since he arrived. He need to investigate this place further, then he can start cleaning the rats in these streets.
"Master!/Mister!" Akitsu and Kaho called out to him respectively as they saw him stopping a fellow Sekirei from being forced by a sinister man.
"I'm fine. Just another victim saved from this man. Now I am really tired so can we just go to a hotel now?" Linus asked.
"What about Akitsu-san's new clothes?" Kaho asked.
"Ugh right…you can come with us girl since I assume you have nowhere to go?" The brown-haired girl nodded and Linus slowly made tracks to find the damn clothing store.
Hours Later
Finally finding a store to at least buy Akitsu some PJ's, Linus rented out a room in a decent hotel and made way to his room with the girls with him. He even had a discount due to the hotel clerk nearly crapped himself for seeing a huge imposing man with a golden poleaxe beside him. Linus opened the door and started taking his armor off (leaving the chainmail on of course), unaware that the girls behind him are red-faced and panting. 'I think he is my Ashikabi' All three of them said and as soon Linus took off his helmet, all three of the girls gave up resistance when they saw his handsome face.
"Alright now I am going to sleep on the floor while you three…what's wrong with you three?" Linus asked when he turned around to see the three girls panting and slowly made their way to him. Linus backed up step by step when they made their movement until he hit the wall. 'Uhh…did I do something wrong?' Linus thought as the first girl who put her hands on his chest was Akitsu.
"My Ashikabi…" Akitsu whispered as she put her lips over his. Linus eyes went wide when he saw icy-blue wings spouted from her back and the marking on her forehead disappeared; only to reappeared on the nape of her neck.
"By the ice of my pledge. Shatter the misfortunes of my Ashikabi!" Akitsu chanted as the light grows dim. Linus was confused and was about to ask what just happened until Kaho kissed him the same way as Akitsu's. The same thing happened with Akitsu as pink wings emerged from her back.
"By my dance of my pledge, slash the calamities that befall my Ashikabi! No. 87, Kaho is at your service." Kaho said as she backed up with a smile. Linus only looked at the panting brown-haired girl and only opened his arms since he assumes she's going to do the same thing as well, which she did. Blue wings emerged from her back like the other two.
"By the hammer of my pledge, shatter all enemies of my Ashikabi! No. 84, Yashima, is now with you forever." Yashima said with a smile on her face.
'The hell just happened? Not that I mind about the kisses but about the wings coming from their backs. Now this capital really has questions that must be answered.'
"If you want answers then look no more as I will answer them for you!" Everyone in the room turned to the T.V on the cabinet to see a man with tall, spiky white hair and wearing an all-white outfit with white glasses.
"Congratulations for winging not one, but three of the beauties that are the Sekirei. For that, you have been chosen to be in a marvelous game of a royal rumble between other Ashikabi's and Sekirei in Shinto Teito! Allow me to introduce myself, I am Minaka Hiroto, Founder and CEO of the MBI corporation. And you sir…are a mystery."
Linus only tilted his head in confusion. "Oh, yes a mystery indeed. An Ashikabi who have winged the scrapped number 7 without being identified by my lovely company, very mysterious indeed~ But that is what makes this game fun! I love those who are unique to make this game far more interesting. It is the will of the gods that make this a reality. Now, my friend, you and your flock will fight others until there is only one left. Only then will you ascend to Godhood! Hahahahahahaha!"
'This guy's nuts!' Linus thought.
"Oh by the way, this is a top secret project to keep your mouth shut got it!? Todalooo~" The T.V shuts off as Linus looked at the T.V in a trance. There was a sudden knock on the door and Linus opened it to see a man in a black suit holding three boxes. The man shoved it to Linus before leaving. 'Rude…' Linus thought as he put down the boxes on the bed.
"Oh, our battle outfits! The professor must have had these on the ready." Kaho said. "Wait, you know that nutjob?" Linus asked.
"Yes, Minaka-sama was the one who released us from the MBI building. There are 108 of us all around Tokyo right now Master." Yashima informed as Linus only sighed and lay down on the bed.
"First off, my name is Linus, not master. Second, I am tired so good ni-," Linus went to sleep immediately once he got comfortable on the bed. The girls giggled before climbing on the bed as and rested with their Ashikabi.
'I vow to protect you and win all my battles, my Ashikabi.' All three of them thought as they too sleep with the yellow haired Knight.
Eastern District Hiyamakai Hospital
"So, you are telling me, that a man in a suit of armored was able to severely hurt one of my pawns?" Said angrily by a young brown-haired "gentleman" in a business attire looking out the window. Behind him is a tall, slim build black-haired man with a black suit and wears spectacles.
"Yes, that is correct Higa-sama. The armored man managed to put a large hole in Sai before rescuing the No. 87. We have no information about him other than he is a foreigner. No. 10 was able to bring back Sai before leaving to her own chores. However, she could have fought and killed the man before subduing No. 87. Should we punish her?"
"Hmm…was she the one to tell you about the armored man, Kakizaki?" The brown-haired man, Higa, asked.
"Why yes, she did." Kakizaki responded.
"Then I will let this failure slide since she did inform us of a new potential threat to my plans. However, warn her that the next time someone interferes with my plans, kill them no matter what…unless she wants her precious friend at the hospital dead." Higa said ominously.
"It is ashamed that is not winged to you yet. I heard for our sources that she is not reacting to the patient yet, but is determined to help her in her sickness. It is slightly amusing for a bird to care for something they are not reacting to."
"It is more ashamed that I did not wing her myself. No. 10's power and body is something that many Ashikabis desires, but we will have to make do with her working for us in exchange of making that ill girl stay alive…for now."
"I see sir." Kakizaki said. He still does not know why Higa just not kill the ill girl yet?
"Anyway, I want you to find more about this armored man. I may try to make use of him as my enforcer. Think about it, an Ashikabi capable of hurting other Sekirei? I can think of many uses for him…and his Sekirei." Higa knows that Sekirei has a difficult time hurting other Ashikabi's unless they are ordered by their own. So, he can make this Knight kill both Sekirei and Ashikabi and dwindle his competition less. Besides, the armored man may have powerful Sekirei as well. However, he must teach the man a lesson. Higa dismissed Kakizaki and looked out his windows.
'So, you think you can interfere with my plans and get away from it huh lowly Knight? Well, you are wrong. This is the twenty-first century and you are outdated. I will show you what happens when you mess with me.' Higa threaten before resuming his work…and the next stage of his plan.
Somewhere in the Easter District, Top of a building
'That man in that suit of armor. I felt a reaction to him just like Chiho. But that can't be possible, right? A Sekirei can't have two Ashikabi's at the same time unless…' Thought the woman with white silk covering her some parts of her body. Her hood is down to reveal an attractive brunette with brown eyes and long chestnut hair with one left part of hair in a ponytail.
'Chiho…I will find some way to break you out of your prison. Maybe I can have that man help me get her to the MBI hospital, even though I don't have any respect to the company.' The woman thought before jumping off the building and heading deep into the city.
Top of the MBI Building
"Hehehahahaha! The game is getting far more interesting now that this Knight is on the field. Wouldn't it be fun when Minato meets this man and be a part of this game as well, Takami-chan?" Minaka said while looking at the town below him. On his side is a slender woman with grey hair and has an eyepatch over her left eye.
"Like hell will I let my children be involved into your foolish and insane game baka!"
"Oh, come on Takami-chan~ It will be a crime for not letting those two into the fun. At least, Minato please~" Minaka asked in a sing song tone before getting kicked in the face.
"Baka!" Takami shouted.
"Alright woman…have it your way." Minaka said with no damage applied on his face…somehow. "Anyway, have you looked up our knightly friend here?"
"For some strange reason no. Other than he is a foreigner from Italy according from the latest flight schedule, there is nothing on the system about the man. It's like he appeared out of nowhere."
"hehehe…very interesting. Yes, it is like the gods themselves has sent this Knight to be one of the major pieces of this game. Soon, the Sekirei's will find their respective Ashikabi's and will battle to ascend to Godhood, hahahahahaha whoa!" Minaka was interrupted when Takami kicked him off the ledge. She narrowed her eyes when Minaka deployed an emergency parachute from…somewhere.
"Damn, where is he getting these things."
"Always must be prepared Takami-chan! Always!"
Scene
Alright then, the first chapter of this story is done. I hope you like it and I will continue to make this a successful story. By the way, Uzume is does not have an Ashikabi…yet. This is up for you guys to debate whether she be paired with Chiho, the ill girl in the hospital, or be with Linus. Doesn't matter either way because she will still help Chiho and will not be working for Higa anytime soon. Because I have a special plan for Chiho's happiness hehehehe…
So anyway, send me any suggestions about either Linus's or Minato's flock and I will see you guys later.
Ja Ne!
