Author's Note:
Hola! I missed you guys! Okay, this chapter will be 50% more random, 50% more Ketsuo, 50% less references... Maybe. And 50% more dead people!
Let's go! Skip prologue if you like... I wouldn't, it really helps make sense.
Also, do remember that they are quite older since it is 2065, however Silver will explain why everyone seems like they're 20. XD SPOILERS! SPOILLLLAAAAAZ!
2 lazy 2 log in chapter 1 . 9h ago
Seiko's dead?! *flips table in frustration* I'm done.
Hey, if you want spoilers in this case, read chapter 10. Don't quit on the story yet, plz!
~Prologue~
There are seven major clans which hold their own territory. They were all at peace.
There was the Byakudan Clan, led by Yuuya Kizami. A bold and rash leader who makes the right decisions with the guidance of his closest generals.
Kurosaki Kensuke, Mitsuki Yamamoto, Tohko Kirisaki, and Kai Shimada.
The Musashigawa Clan, led by Nana Ogasawara, Nari Amatoya, and Chihaya Yamase in a republic-sort of government. (Like how it was in Ancient Rome.)
Their heirs are Hachi Ogasawara and Xen Namikage.
The Paulownia Clan, led by Misuto Kiriya. His advisors are Kuon Niwa, Aiko Niwa, and Magali Mizuki. They work with the dark arts and dark magic, secretly trying to awaken the viruses to begin the Revelation.
The Tenjin Empire led by Emperor Kishinuma Yoshiki and Empress Shinozaki Ayumi. It was the most powerful of the clans until the Kyoto XE Massacre, which was their financial capital, which left them a bit vulnerable.
The Kisaragi Clan, led by Zenka Namikage with his closest generals: Denka Amatoya, Yui Shishido, Tsukasa Mikuni, Ketsuo Nekumari, Masaru Kadarai, Okuni Shinchito, Shuu Shinohara, Nima Shinohara, and Kuro Amatoya.
The Saint Cruz Clan, led by Azusa Takai, Ran Kobayashi, and Senjin Sarutobi. They are helped by advisors; Senjun Sarutobi, Natsura Sarutobi, Tenjin Hashirama, and Fuyu Hirata.
The Musume Clan, led by Naomi Nakashima. She is assisted by her generals; Satoshi Mochida, Yuka Mochida, Mayu Suzumoto, Sakutaro Morishige, Satsuki Mizuhara, and Yuu Shinohara.
However, in 2065 a terrorist faction the Blood Flares (Which was established in 2033 to bring down the Crimson Dragons and any of their allies.) destroyed Kyoto XE, historically called the Kyoto XE Massacre since it left few survivors. Due to losing the love of her life, Nakashima formed the Musume Clan and broke the International Peace Federation's rule where she destroyed the Blood Flares' main base. And due to losing Seiko, Nakashima became enraged and corrupt, and attacked the other clans.
~Chapter 2: Avid Hell~
"NO! I do not like this idea!" Ketsuo said.
"I don't either, but we have to." Zenka said.
"No, we can negotiate with Byakudan! Not fuckin'Paulownia!" Ketsuo suggested very hastily.
"They have their own problems." Zenka said.
"Their sauna and hot tub aren't working. They're more concerned about that thanA MAJOR FUCKIN' WAR!?" Ketsuo yelled.
"Well... I'd be concerned of our hot tub wasn't working.." Shuu said.
"YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!" Ketsuo yelled, frustrated because of his hatred of Paulownia.
"Ketsuo's kinda right here, I don't wanna negotiate with them." Kuro said.
"Thank you! Finally a teammate that makes some sense!" Ketsuo said.
"Sheesh, you're more pissed off than Bill O' Reilly." Nima said, adjusting her jacket.
"You're more exposed than that prostitute on 3rd street. Your point?" Ketsuo asked.
"I offered to take her to Victoria's Secret." Kuro said.
"Are you still going on about that?" Nima asked.
"... Yeah." Kuro replied.
"If that was me, I would've fainted." Ketsuo said.
"Well, you're Ketsuo." Kuro said.
"No, I'm a guy. Difference, actually." Ketsuo said, making Nima laugh a bit.
"I am too!" Kuro said.
"But you're a dumbass, even I wouldn't have complained... And I'm a pretty subtle guy." Shuu said.
"Yeah, you probably wouldn't be able to handle it." Ketsuo said.
"And you could?" Shuu said.
"I've been around for longer than you think. I've seen things scarier than you can imagine." Ketsuo said.
"Like?" Kuro asked.
Ketsuo took out a cassette tape.
"Put that away! That is not allowed in my house!" Zenka said.
"Can't read it." Kuro said.
"Satoshi and Y-"
"That's completely non-canon to this universe!" Zenka said.
"The shipment is non-canon. The tape, not so much." Ketsuo said.
"You have a tape?" Kuro asked.
"Actually... Yeah." Ketsuo said.
"You could've sold the 'scarier things than you can imagine' by saying you had a tape of your own." Nima said.
"There's something I wanna say, but she'll kill me. Do I say it?" Ketsuo asked.
"Knock yourself out." Shuu said.
"Yeah... It was with Seiko and Naomi." Ketsuo said.
"O-O"
~Thirty Minutes Later~
"Great, your horror story put her in a coma. Good going dumbass." Zenka said.
"I love how the hospital people didn't put panties on her, so we can get an upskirt." Ketsuo said.
"Dude. That's your friend's daughter, are you that fucked up?" Kuro asked.
"... Yes." Ketsuo replied.
"Well, if this is what it's going to be like negotiating with Paulownia, we're screwed out of an ally." Zenka said. "So Ketsuo, do something else while we do that."
He perked up.
"You... Really mean that...? Thank you so much..." Ketsuo said, with the sparkly eyes.
"... You are fucked up." Shuu said.
"What the hell happened...?" Nima asked.
"DON'T SAY IT!" Kuro said.
Ketsuo took out a tape.
"And if only it was non-canon..." Shuu said.
"You've gotta be kidding me, WITH MY PARENTS?!" Nima said, pissed off.
"Wait, they're both women. I'm confused." Shuu said.
"Well, great. I can explain it!" The doctor said after he came in. "But seriously she has no panties. The hell, how did this get through?"
"I'm cool with it." Ketsuo said.
"Anyways, thanks to meh, science has progressed so much to the point where I was able to make the male sex cell from a female and vice versa, but it took a bit more time." The doctor said.
"... Who are you?" Kuro asked.
"Stryker Lyxnor, from the richie rich filthy rich family of the Lyxnors. Just call me Silver. Well, I don't like talking about my family. Lots of assholes, then they all died, how's your week?" Silver said.
"Wait... Your Levi's girlfriend's father?" Ketsuo said.
"... Well, it's wife now, but yeah. I love how you're still single." Silver said.
"Shut up!" Ketsuo said.
"Lawl." Nima commented.
"I used to be like you.. I had forty... Was it forty three or forty four exes, I can never remember." Silver said.
"Daaaaaayum!" Shuu said.
"Well, as I was saying. I'm the best scientist of this time in my respective fields of medical, neurology, genetics, chemistry, physics, and gynecology." Silver said.
"... Don't check me." Nima said.
"No, no. That's not the issue today. You just passed out from shock knowing that this dumbass had blankety blank with your parents." Silver replied.
"... Well, yeah actually." Nima said.
"I don't need your approval, I did a brain scan." Silver said. "And by the way, I have a friend who said not wearing panties is comfy."
"Hook me up!" Ketsuo said.
"She's dead you asshole." Silver said.
"Oh."
"But I'm a world renowned scientist! The first- and only one to be able to morph one type of sex cell to the other type of sex cell." Silver explained.
"... Is that how I'm here?" Nima asked.
"Yup! You have me to thank. And Yuu for his connections. No perverted references intended." Silver said.
"You're a perv too?" Kuro said.
"Former perv. I'm married, three children- well two, and a step-child- and I'm living a happy life. That and PMS has just happened to walk right past my wife." Silver said.
"That's going to insult a lot of people." Shuu said.
"No, PMS is different. Must I provide a logical explanation? PMS is when Estrogen and Progesterone gets to the brain, interrupting other brain pathways, and it is not the same as the menstruation itself." Silver said.
"... Wait, why the hell are we even talking about this?" Ketsuo asked.
"On a completely different topic, Ketsuo's an old hag, how come he looks like he's 20?" Kuro asked.
"A long time ago when I was eight I made a miracle drug that made your looks stay at 20 years old. It took a lot of trial and error to get the age. It exhibited no side effects, and all organs would act normal unless if it's your liver and you're a heavy drinker. You'll fuck that up then. But since there were no side effects, I distributed to everyone around the world for free, and the International Peace Federation is making sure it stays free." Silver said.
"Holy crap, this guy made the Fountain of Youth practically!" Shuu said.
"Ehh... Ish. It's been proven that after 700 years that all of your organs will then collapse and you'll painfully die. I never found the cure for that though." Silver said.
"I thought you said there were no side effects." Nima said.
"... Okay, no immediateside effects. But the drug even enhances your life span to 700 years or longer. And if you are over 20, then you simply keep the look, no reverting back or that crap." Silver replied.
"And you did all this when you were eight?" Shuu said.
"Yup. I'm over 150 years old, going on 21!" Silver replied.
"Holy sheet." Ketsuo said.
"General Mizuhara! We've entered the Byakudan Clan's territory! Er, airspace?" The soldier said.
"Good." Satsuki said and put her hand on her chest. "I hope they'll be willing to help us."
"Actually, Nakashima's orders were to kill them." The soldier corrected.
"I know that." Satsuki replied. "If negotiation doesn't work, I go with my orders."
Satsuki had a moderate length ponytail, her hair still messy though. Her uniform was a dark blue, which was highly unsaturated and dull.
She had two hook swords in sheathes on her back.
"General Mochida told me to tell you that she will be here very soon." Another soldier said.
"Thank you." Satsuki replied, and the other soldier left.
She looked out of the glass of her Terran Assault Carrier. The Musume Clan had made many in case if any were destroyed, but didn't mass produce them because if they were, they would be of bad quality. Instead of having laser guns, they had rotating machine gun turrets. The Musume Clan's insignia was a white flag, with a blood stain and a black M in the middle, to represent their power, their clan, and to keep the same design as the flag of New Japan itself. New Japan's flag didn't change after the apocalypse. None of the flags did unlike many cultures and cities after the apocalypse's end.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Yuka said as she walked up to Satsuki. Yuka had longer hair, but not much longer. She was also wearing a uniform like Satsuki's, but had two Maiodaos. Her hair remained the same, much neater than Satsuki's. Both generals had sheaths at their waists. Yuka's sheathes were occupied by Chinese Butterfly Swords and Satsuki's had Seven-Bladed Swords.
"Eh, it's no big deal." Satsuki replied.
"Surprised by the lack of soldiers Nakashima gave us?" Yuka asked.
"Eh, I doubt we'll be going on the ground." Satsuki replied.
"Well, if you think about that it makes sense." Yuka said.
They looked around at the lack of soldiers there. There were the three piloting the TAC and one who was on his way out with a burrito.
"General Mizuhara! We have a call from an unknown source!" The soldier on communications said.
"Damn it, I'll be right back." She muttered to Yuka. "Answer it and let me talk to them." She said to the soldier.
He answered it and a brunette girl, who looked to also be Japanese came onto the camera.
"You're fighting the Blood Flares." She said.
"Yes, state your identity." Satsuki said.
"Very well. My name is Taeko Hanarou. Survivor of the XE Massacre." Taeko said.
A survivor of the massacre itself. Satsuki wished Seiko could also have survived it.
"I am General Satsuki Mizuhara of the Musume Clan. What is your business?" Satsuki replied.
"I am a member of the Crimson Dragons, and mainly the Cyan Dragons Sub-Group. As you've probably heard, the Crimson Dragons are refusing to help either side since both break the code. However, many of my friends and family died that day, so I am going after those terrorists. I would like to offer my service to you." Taeko said and as Satsuki introduced herself she got Naomi on the call.
"What if you are deceiving us?" Naomi asked Taeko.
"It is a personal matter. My loved ones died there. I suggest the same happened to you?" Taeko replied.
"... Yes." Naomi said.
"Well, I want to help you kill them. I want them to suffer. Please let me help you, please!" Taeko said.
"As you wish. I'll send you coordinates to a minor base I care nothing for and we all will meet there. Mizuhara, you are a witness to this." Naomi said.
"Understood, Nakashima." Satsuki replied.
"Thank you Nakashima. I hope we can talk face to face sometime soon." Taeko said.
"I hope so too..." Naomi responded, not trusting her and Taeko hung up, then Naomi did.
"Finally..." Satsuki said and she walked back over to Yuka.
"Well, anything interesting?" Yuka asked.
"Same old crap." Satsuki replied and kissed her. "I've been waiting to do that ever since I left Nakashima's company."
(If you don't know, they are a couple, CP:R, Chapter 11 SPOILERZ.)
"You and me both." Yuka said and smiled.
"I see the base!" The pilot said.
"Fire!" Satsuki ordered and the soldier on weapons fired missiles. "We just can't catch a break, chickadee."
"No we can not... Ever." Yuka responded.
"General Mizuhara! They have combat fighters!" The soldier on communications and radar said.
"All soldiers go to your combat jets! Sorry Yuka, I'm gonna go fight, you take charge of the ship." Satsuki said and kissed her, then left to go into her Inter-Ark Destroyer-Combat Fighter. (IADC)
Yuka sighed. "You better come back in one piece!"
Satsuki flew through the mess of ships and fired upon the Byakudan fighters.
"Get as many destroyed as you can! That's an order!" Satsuki ordered.
She shot three down when she spotted one ship in particular that didn't match.
"State your identity!" She said, after linking her communications line to the other ship, and it fired twenty homing missiles that took down many Musashigawa ships.
"Remember me?" Taeko asked.
"I can't catch a break..." Satsuki muttered. "Yup, I do."
"Well, Nakashima told me I should help you." Taeko said and her ship's four wings shot massive plasma cannons, that surprisingly didn't take out any allies.
"Save some kills for me!" Satsuki said and shot some fighters down.
"Go get some then!" Taeko said and smiled. "I'm just having fun practicing!"
"You've got a hell of a weapon." Satsuki commented and banked left.
"Yep! This is my pride and joy, took me three months to build! I call it the Eclipse." Taeko replied and the ship reflected all of the lasers shot at it.
"Energy reflectors." Satsuki noted.
"After most ships adopted lasers, it seemed like the best idea to use that. It also doubles as a bullet shield." Taeko said and it shot out more missiles.
"Put a whole new spin on overpowered..." Satsuki said and shot down more ships.
"This thing needed one hell of a power generator, let me tell you!" Taeko said and shot at more ships with missiles.
By the time Satsuki had killed 20, Taeko (And her vastly overpowered ship) had taken down the rest of the opposing force.
"Casualties?" Satsuki said.
"None here, everyone's fine!" Yuka replied from the ship.
"Well... Thanks." Satsuki said.
"No problem, just a warm up." Taeko said.
"Can you go and blow up the base? It'd be a lotquicker." Satsuki asked and as she said that she heard a massive explosion and saw a crater in the ground.
"Those weapons are overpowered."
"Yep. And I tend to like them that way." Taeko replied.
~Two Hours After The Destruction Of Fort Hashigawa~
"Zenka!" Okuni said.
"Yes Okuni?" Zenka replied.
"Good news and bad news. The good news is we have a conference room ready with the Paulownia Clan, and the Tenjin Empire. The bad news is the Fort Hashigawa is now a crater." Okuni notified.
"A crater?" Zenka said, confused.
"It wasn't just blown up, it looks to be struck by a nuke, but it has traces of plasma, and none of bombs." Okuni explained.
"They have something massively overpowered then, and we need to destroy it quick then." Zenka concluded and they walked into the Holo-Matrix Conference Hall.
"The Musume Clan has destroyed Fort Hashigawa, and everything that was in the airspace of it." Xen said and pulled up pictures.
"They don't have THAT good of weapons." Kuro said.
"Then how the hell did they do it?" Shuu asked.
"They have a new mercenary or something. He has a different type of fighter, probably made from scratch." Xen said and pulled up a picture of the fighter jet.
"It is said to have homing missiles that shoot 20 at a time, massive plasma cannons, a stealth drive, energy and bullet shields, and that's only what we know."
"Well... This is comforting." Zenka muttered sarcastically and looked at him.
"Well, can't we just nuke them?" Magali asked.
"Nobody has nukes. Which brings me to my next point. Their next mission is invading a facility in Matushka Russianea." Xen stated. "We have to get there before them and hold position."
"Are you crazy, what about the merc?!" Kuro asked, he and Xen didn't get along, but didn't hate each other.
"... I have my own advanced fighter. I know it sounds like suicide, but I'll hold him off." Xen said.
"That's... Well, suicide!" Shuu replied.
"Relax, he's a main character! No way they'll kill him off in chapter 2!" Ketsuo said.
"Stop breaking the fourth wall." Misuto said.
"Bite me dumbass." Ketsuo said.
"Guys, stop it." Nima said.
"Shut up slut, nobody asked you." Misuto said.
"Go shove up your ass, bird-brain!" Ketsuo said.
"Stop arguing NOW!" Yoshiki yelled. "We can't have this now."
"He's a gayface." Misuto said.
"At least I'm not a virgin! And they were women! Not men, thankfully." Ketsuo argued.
"You're still forever alone!" Misuto replied.
"I actually got somewhere, you just fell on a fucking pole in prison!" Ketsuo said. It was true, when Misuto first got there he tried to escape by trying to jump over the fence from the closest part of the fence. He landed on a pole.
"Enough!" Zenka yelled. "Misuto, Ketsuo, this is serious!"
"So was your mom." Misuto said.
"You're being childish..." Aiko said, in a depressed tone.
"Alright, alright." Misuto said and stopped.
"Well..." Xen said.
"Too bad we never recovered Seiko's body." Ketsuo said.
"Do you really want to do that?" Zenka asked, surprisingly nervous.
"No! Who do I look like, that dipshit Misuto?" Ketsuo replied, insulted.
"Hey, fuck you! Though everything is completely true." Misuto said.
"... I'm disturbed." Ketsuo said.
"Stop fighting, you frickin' idiots! Focus!" Nima said.
"I can focus, but you won't like what I focus on." Ketsuo muttered.
"The point is, if they can't get nukes, then it makes our lives a shitload easier." Xen said.
"True." Ayumi said. "Should we rally some forces?"
"No, your spies are doing an excellent job." Zenka replied.
"Ketsuo, don't stare at my chest, this is a serious conference!" Ayumi said.
"I'm sorry, but the hologram projects them to look a lot bigger." Ketsuo replied.
"That's my wife!" Yoshiki said.
"Hey, I'm not hitting on her... I remember what happened last time." Ketsuo said.
"Actually you are right.." Yoshiki said, looking at Ayumi's chest.
"Focus on the conference!" Xen said.
"Mizuhara, Mochida." Naomi said.
"Yes Nakashima?" Satsuki replied.
"While they believe that is the facility we are going after, I will need you two, Taeko, and Yuu to go to the one in Russior." Naomi said.
"Got it." Satsuki said.
"Go. I will inform them of their task." Naomi said and the two left. "We will get our nukes... And we will fire upon the resistance first!"
"N-Nakashima?" Yuka mumbled.
"What is it?" Naomi asked, irritated.
"We won't have to kill anyone right?" Yuka asked.
"You most likely will." Naomi said.
"Okay guys, initiating Operation:Маскировка." Kuro said.
"Let's do this!" Shuu said.
Kuro, Shuu, and Nima landed their fighters at the nuclear bomb facility.
"Hey look, a whole group of soldiers!" Shuu said.
"Shit." Kuro said. "They have their guns pointed at us."
"Surrender!" An officer said.
"Hang on guys, I got this." Shuu said. "Hey guys, you wanna win a free car?"
"..." Nobody said anything.
"Actually, I do." That one guy said.
"Shut up private!" Another soldier said.
"EVERYBODY WINS A FREE CAR!" Shuu said.
They all just stood there.
"What?" Shuu asked.
"Taxes." The officer replied.
"Damn it, he watched Oprah do that." Shuu muttered.
"I got this, you dumbass." Nima said,
"What are you gonna do, try to sell us a free week of maid service for $30286.62?" The officer asked. (250 dollars.)
"Nope." Nima said and threw off her jacket.
"I'm... Moderately glad she's not facing towards us." Kuro said.
Shuu patted Kuro's shoulder.
"I can accept you for who you are." Shuu said.
"Go fuck yourself." Kuro muttered.
All of the soldiers had dropped their weapons.
"Okay, jump off this cliff. If you land and survive, you get a free week of maid service, from me." Nima said and winked.
"There's no way they'd fall for that-"
They had all jumped off the cliff.
"Oh. They did." Shuu stated.
"You think I was really gonna do that?" Nima asked.
"You lying bitch!" The private said.
"Shut up, private!" The officer yelled, and bled out.
"Where are they?" Kuro asked, as they all held up their RPGs.
Shuu got on the communications link.
"Xen, where are they?" Shuu asked.
"It was a trap! That's not the right facility! They have three generals and the mercenary there, I need backup, IMMEDIATELY!" Xen yelled into the codec.
"Shit!" Kuro said.
"Fuck! Bastard blew up the warp drive!" Xen complained.
"Back to the fighters, NOW!" Kuro ordered and they ran.
"Fuck..." Xen said. "Can't leave now..."
"What's the matter, scared you can't flee?" Taeko said into the comm link.
"YOU! Who are you?" Xen asked.
"The merc you know and love. Actually, I'm not exactly a merc. They didn't pay me." Taeko replied.
"What?" Xen was utterly confused.
"My family was killed in that massacre. I had three sisters, and four brothers. They all died." Taeko explained, starting to get teary at the thought of her siblings. "That's why I am doing this. That's why I will end them. I don't want to kill anyone else, but if they get in our way and won't get out then... What happens, happens."
"Hmm. Sorry to cut the tragedy short, but I've got a job and that's to end this!" Xen said and used the boost.
"The hell are you doing?!" Shuu asked, the three finally getting into the battle.
"Making this a shitload easier for you guys!" He said and rammed his fighter into the Eclipse, knocking them down to the facility's biggest tower.
"Crazy bastard..." Kuro mumbled and banked past the three opposing fighters.
"..."
"Wait Kuro, that's my father's fighter!" Shuu said.
"Enough. We don't want to kill you, so leave." Satsuki said.
"Sorry tuts, it's not happening." Kuro replied.
"You're Mizuhara." Nima said.
"... Memories... These memories mustn't haunt me any longer." Satsuki mumbled. "Prepare to engage."
"No." Yuu finally said. "Leave them be."
"Why?" Satsuki asked. "They are the enemy."
"That is my son, and Seiko's daughter. Even if she is a traitor, I refuse to kill her." Yuu responded.
"Traitor?!" Nima said, angry.
"You are Nakashima's daughter too." Yuu said and his steel visor went over his eyes. "You don't understand our cause!"
"We understand it damn well, we just don't want the rules of peace being broken!" Shuu said.
"... Those terrorists break those rules and what does the Federation do? Somehow have the rules enforced and protect them with those very rules that were broken!" Yuu explained. "All we're doing is making peace!"
"No, this is about revenge." Kuro said.
"Call it what you want. But in three days..." Yuu didn't finish his sentence.
"What happens in three days?!" Kuro asked.
"The resistance will crumble." Satsuki finished.
"Self-taught. And pretty good.." Taeko said. "What's your secret?"
"Why would I tell you, sweetheart?" Xen replied, taunting her.
"I won't lie, I've only met one swordmaster better than me, and you're probably my only equivalent!" Taeko said and the twos' swords clashed repeatedly.
"What about yours?" Xen asked.
"To better myself, and yours?" Taeko replied, and kicked the katana out of his hand.
He cracked his knuckles.
"I don't fear death." Xen replied and charged at her.
Taeko slashed at him, but he leaped over the blade.
"My turn!" He yelled and dug his nails into her arm, then disarmed her.
She elbowed him in the face, but he had already drew blood. She roundhouse kicked him into a fuel tank and he picked himself up.
He then lunged at her, digging his head into her stomach. She tried pushing him off, but he was determined to bite her neck.
"What are you, a vampire?" Taeko asked sarcastically.
"I'm a pyschopath, but close enough." Xen replied and clamped his jaw down on her neck. He enjoyed the feel of her flesh, the taste of her blood, but was confused by her lack of fear.
She pushed him off and punched him in the face.
"Well, you're as lame as Edward, so close enough!" Taeko said and kicked him into another fuel tank.
"Come at me bitch! I'm only getting started!" Xen yelled and spat a mixture of saliva and Taeko's blood on the ground.
Taeko ran at him, and he jumped off of the tank, however she predicted it and grabbed his leg, pulling him down and surprising him.
She proceeded to stomp on his ribcage then finally took out a knife.
"No, this is your end!" Taeko yelled and tried to stab him in the neck, but he grabbed her arm and twisted it.
"Not so fast, the fun is just beginning!" Xen said and threw the knife on the ground.
He punched her in the face and they has started to noticed the rain.
"You may be a woman, and it is wrong to hit you... But you are my enemy." Xen said.
"Don't see me as a woman, see me as an equal!" Taeko yelled, insulted.
"Good!" He said and lunged at her.
He proceeded to bite into her shoulder and she grabbed his wrist, then took out a knife and slit it open.
"Shit..." Xen thought and leapt up. He wrapped it with gauze and stuck a tiny pin in it.
"You don't fear death, but you fear a little cut?" Taeko mocked.
"I don't fear death, but I don't want to walk into it." Xen replied. "You know, I know something you don't."
Time seemed to move slow.
"Your brother didn't want you to kill!" Xen said, and it hit her like a train. "What's the matter, did I strike a nerve?"
"..." A tear flowed down Taeko's face. It was his dying wish, and she disobeyed it.
"I... I kill for my inner peace... You can't obey every wish!" Taeko said and picked herself up.
"What about his other wishes?" Xen asked. "Were you really a good sister to them?"
"I took care of them... I know I was a good sister! Now die!Die!" Taeko said and picked up her tanto.
"Why, scared of the past?" Xen asked, knowing he had found her weakness.
"No... Killing is the only place I can find peace. I feel no remorse doing it." Taeko explained.
"Hmm. Interesting. It is where you unleash your inner demon?" Xen inferred.
"Yes. I regret none of the blood on my blade." Taeko replied, and he had picked up his own sword.
"The very same." Xen said.
"...Die!" Taeko yelled and unleashed a flurry of slashes, all of which he blocked.
She ran to her fighter jet and stuck her sword in the ground.
"Huh?"
She ran towards him with the blade in the metal of the tower, then unsheathed it when close to him. A pure black aura of death surrounded him and he realized she landed a large cut onto his chest.
"Shit..." He muttered. He went to kick her, but she cut into his ankle. "FUCK!"
Xen slashed at her, but she blocked every time.
"Perhaps you aren't as strong as I thought." Taeko said, and he elbowed her in the face.
"Close your eyes!" Xen yelled and stepped on her feet, get her into a headlock, then stab his own chest, and into hers. "Do you feel the pain?"
"... I felt worse from your mother!" Taeko yelled and stabbed into his head with her tanto and he stepped back. "Do you feel the pain?"
"Yeah... And it feels nice!" Xen yelled and threw the tanto into her neck, causing her to reel back.
He took out his katana.
"You'll meet your end soon enough. And may you rest in peace with them." Xen said, rather softly.
She considered it for a split second, but took out the tanto.
"This battle will only go on until one of us bleeds out..." Taeko thought. "I'll surely be the first since I have more wounds! But... I have an idea."
She blocked each of his slashes, stepping back towards the edge.
"Goodbye!" Xen said and stabbed her abdomen.
Taeko fell off the sword and into the ocean, as she planned.
"... There's no way she's dead... Shit! That was her plan!" Xen realized it too late and looked at all of his wounds, then doubled over. "I'm gonna need a fuckin' ambulance..."
"Umm... Nakashima?" A sergeant said. (And that is the correct spelling.)
"Yes Reiko?" Naomi replied.
"Is my mother okay?" Reiko asked.
"I have no doubt about it, my darling." Naomi replied.
Reiko was very friendly, and was one of the few people Naomi was really close to and could talk to. She had neat hair like Yuka, but had a moderately long ponytail like Satsuki. She had a uniform similar to theirs to let other soldiers know her familial relation in the ranks. However, hers had pink shoulder pads, pink arm guards, and any detail/protective gear.
"I hope so.." Reiko said, and Naomi hugged her.
Naomi wasn't used to showing any emotion anymore, besides to the ones she was closest to- which wasn't many.
"I have a job for you Reiko." Naomi said.
"Yes?" Reiko replied.
"I want you to fly to the nuclear facility at Soviez Russior and see how the mission is going. Be undetected." Naomi ordered. "If you succeed, I'll get you that blue dress you wanted."
Naomi was Reiko's godmother, and a pretty damn good one at that. Seiko was the other godmother, before she was killed, and also showered her with presents.
Despite being spoiled, Reiko was raised with manners, politeness, and was more caring than most others.
"Thank you Naomi!" Reiko replied and ran off to do the mission.
"Seiko... I wish you were here with me..." Naomi said, and a tear rolled down her cheek.
Reiko flew over to the facility, and saw no signs of anyone, except for Xen and Taeko's fighters.
"W-Where's mom...?" She mumbled, nervous that her mother was nowhere in sight.
She landed her own at the tower and saw Xen, then immediately got out.
"Are you okay?!" She asked, running over to Xen.
"Who are you?!" He asked and slashed a knife in her direction. He was still doubled-over, so he couldn't reach her.
She was going to tell him, but she realized he was an enemy. She had two butterfly knives like Yuka, and two hook swords like Satsuki.
She took one of the hook swords out in case if she had to defend herself.
"D-Don't try to hurt me!" Reiko said.
"FREEZE!" Shuu said, holding a pistol up to her head.
Reiko looked at him, scared.
"Please don't hurt me..." She mumbled.
Reiko was a shy and nervous person like Yuka.
"Put all of your weapons on the ground!" Shuu said.
She put down both hook swords and one of the butterfly knives.
"The other one." He said.
She was frozen in fear.
"I said, the other one." Shuu said.
Reiko took it out and dropped it, then Nima came over.
"I'm getting Xen to the infirmary." Nima said. "I'll get his fighter into the transportation gunship."
Nima picked him up and put him into the infirmary there.
"Kick the weapons to me." Shuu said.
"I just want to see my mom..." Reiko said.
"I said kick the weapons to me!" Shuu yelled, and she did so. "Good."
He walked over to her and proceeded to handcuff her, but was hit by a thrown object.
"Run, Reiko, run!" Satsuki yelled. "Get in your fighter!"
Reiko picked up her weapons, then Shuu got up and she ran to it, and leapt in.
"Come on, start!" Reiko said and Shuu had gotten onto glass of it.
"You're mine!" He said.
The fighter started up and Shuu jumped off, because he knew he'd go flying into the ocean if he didn't.
"Zenka.. We have a problem." Shuu said.
"They got captured?!" Naomi said.
"Yes, they were about to get me too.." Reiko said.
"That's it. No more playing. It's time for Operation: Hellfire. Now." Naomi said.
"Okay, we have the three prisoners father." Kuro said through the codec.
"Three?" Zenka said.
"The merc got away, we don't know where she is, but Xen has a lot of information on her." Kuro said.
"Well, we're getting stuff done." Zenka replied.
The ship shook from gunfire.
"The hell?!" Shuu yelled.
"Kuro... Come take a look at this ship! It's the merc's!" Nima said.
"The merc's?!" Kuro said and heard the engine rupture. The gunship shook violently.
"Oh fuck me." Nima said.
"... Maybe when we aren't in a situation like this!" Kuro said, panicking slightly.
"How far 'til we hit land?!" Shuu asked the pilot.
"300 meters!" The pilot said.
"We'll be dead by then!" Shuu said.
"Take power from the shields and put it into the engine!" Kuro said.
"We'll get blown up!" Shuu said.
"Don't worry, I've got it!" Nima said and fired an RPG at the Eclipse, causing Taeko to lose her concentration.
"Land- SHIT! SLOW DOWN!" Shuu said and the gunship crashed into the shore.
"Well, good news." The pilot said. "We're on the island of Naha: our territory!"
"More good news! When we crashed, the merc broke off his assault!" Nima said.
"Great. Let's get the prisoners into the base." Kuro said.
Satsuki and Yuka were in one cell, Yuu was in another. The walls were soundproof, and the cells were like the ones in an asylum.
Too much like the ones in an asylum.
Shuu walked into the cell that Satsuki and Yuka were in, the two prisoners tied to chairs.
He put his revolver to Yuka's head.
"Alright, start talking. What is the operation that'll happen in three days?" Shuu asked.
"I won't tell you!" Yuka said.
He pulled the trigger, knowing that only the last one had a bullet in it.
"Five more errors and you're dead." Shuu said.
"It is Operation: Hellfire. We were going to blow up resistance bases with explosives from other clans to turn them against each other." Satsuki said, desperately not wanting Yuka to die.
"... Good." Shuu said and walked over to Satsuki and pointed the gun at her head. "Are there any traitors or spies in our ranks?"
"We were going to have one tomorrow." Yuka said.
"Hmm." Shuu said. "Now-"
Kuro ran in.
"We have an intruder! I have no clue where they are, but they are somewhere here!" Kuro said.
"You got lucky." Shuu said, and left.
Reiko ran to a maintenance room. She didn't want to be caught so she found Kisaragi Soldier Armor and proceeded to take her own off, leaving only the same type of seashell bra and underwear that Satsuki sported. Not the same one, just the same type.
Nima walked in and saw Reiko getting changed.
"Damn it..." Reiko mumbled.
"Okay.. Tell you what, I'll let you go like I never saw you, but you better drive a hard bargain." Nima said.
"U-Umm..." Reiko said, extremely nervous.
"Come on, I'm not gonna kill on sight unlike them, and if they come in here, I'll have to." Nima explained.
"Think!" Reiko thought. "Well, my mother always liked these... They always scared me." She said and gave Nima a few playboys.
Nima flipped through them.
"You have any with guys too?" Nima asked.
"W-Well, I did sneak one from Mayu..." Reiko replied and handed her it.
"This is different.. Woah, that's hot." Nima mumbled. "That. Is pretty close, but I want one more thing."
"Huh?" Reiko said, and the next thing she knew Nima kissed her for a few long seconds.
"Just wanted to see what it was like, but you better get going." Nima said and left.
She wiped her lips and shivered a bit since she didn't like girls.
"Well... I'm glad Mayu had spares of that edition..." Reiko said to herself, then got dressed in the soldier's uniform.
"Alright, where is that son of a bitch?" Shuu said. "Kuro, anything?" He said through the codec.
"No- ooh, pretty stars and panties..." Kuro said and Shuu heard a thud.
"Kuro? Kuro?! Ahhh, fuck he's been tranked." Shuu said then Nima walked by.
"Where the hell did you get all those dirty magazines?" Shuu asked.
"Found them in some of the sleeping quarters." Nima said.
"Yeah, we have to get an intruder." Shuu reminded her.
"Sorry, 'other things' come first." Nima said and walked away.
"I hope she doesn't mean what I think she means." Shuu said. "... Procrastinator."
Reiko ran to find the prisoners' cells. She had a tranquilizer and a butterfly knife.
She turned the corner to find the cell where Satsuki and Yuka were, with Shuu guarding it.
"Alright, this is the last time I see you." Shuu said and took out his revolver.
"Please, I just want to free my parents..." Reiko said.
"They are my enemy! Unless if you want to take their place." Shuu said.
"... I want to, but I know they'd be mad at me..." Reiko mumbled.
"Time's up, I'm sick of you." Shuu said and started flipping his revolver. He caught it and pulled the trigger four times, and the fifth time he aimed for her head and fired. She ran to the right and dodged it.
"Fuck..." He muttered.
She tried firing the tranquilizer, but it was jammed.
"Shit..." She muttered and threw it on the ground.
"Please, just let them go.." Reiko said.
"... You aren't listening..." Shuu said, and he eyed her butterfly knife. He walked up to her and she hid it behind her back.
"Please don't hurt me..." Reiko pleaded.
"You are my enemy." Shuu stated. "It'll delight me to take you prisoner."
"Let them go, then take me!" Reiko yelled.
"As you wish." Shuu said and opened the cell, but knowing she'd try to stab him, he grabbed her arm and punched her in the gut, causing her to fall down.
"REIKO!" Satsuki yelled, and Yuka quivered in fear. "Get away from my daughter right now, youmonster!"
"..." Shuu took the knife from Reiko's hand and walked over to Satsuki, then stabbed her in the knee, and heard her screams of pain.
"Mother!" Reiko said and charged at Shuu, but he pushed her down.
"You aren't a fighter." Shuu said. "You weren't trained, were you?"
It was true. She was never trained, because her parents, and Naomi never wanted her to have a direct role in the war.
"Don't hurt them..." Reiko said and a tear rolled down her cheek.
Shuu took out the knife.
"I would slash your left cheek so you could remember the dishonor I brought upon you, but it would be dishonorable to damage a woman's beauty." Shuu said.
"Now you care!" Satsuki said and he stabbed her other knee, hearing the scream once again.
"STOP!" Reiko yelled, and he backhanded her accidentally.
"Enough!" Shuu yelled. "You are becoming my personal prisoner, and you two are being set free!"
"Don't imprison her!" Satsuki said.
"Be glad I won't torture her." Shuu said.
"Just let them go!" Reiko pleaded, and Shuu pushed her down, then thrusted the knife into her stomach.
"STOP!" Satsuki yelled, and by now Yuka couldn't take any more, and was trying hopelessly to squeeze out of the chains.
"She has gotten away from me. I don't let a second opportunity waste away." Shuu said.
Yuka, having one arm free, grabbed his arm with the knife.
"Grab the knife Reiko!" Yuka said, and Reiko did as she was told.
Yuka got her other arm out of the chains and grabbed his other arm.
"Kill him! Now!" Yuka said.
"..." Reiko wanted to stab him, but she found that she couldn't. But she stabbed him in the stomach anyways, despite being nervous, because like Satsuki, she had determination. "I don't want to kill you..."
"Fuckin' do it! Stab me straight in the chest you bitch!" Shuu yelled, growing angry. "Kill me, I dare you! You don't have the guts!"
"... You're right. I don't." Reiko replied, making him angrier.
"Even my father put up a better fight! YOU ARE NOTHING!" Shuu yelled, taunting her. "YOU ARE WORTH NOTHING! So do it! Kill me, go right ahead!"
"... That's not true..." Reiko said, then freed Satsuki from the chains.
"Maybe your mother could do better! Step right up, take a stab at the bad man!" Shuu taunted.
Satsuki took the knife.
"Don't do it mother!" Reiko said, but Satsuki stabbed him in the lung anyways.
He gritted his teeth.
"Yeah that's right! Kill me you bitch! Your cowardly daughter can't, so swing batter batter!" Shuu yelled, and Satsuki freed Yuka, then pushed him down.
"Leave him." Yuka said and they walked out.
"They have a base at Naha." Satsuki said.
"Well, that'll be a good target.. But don't distract me from knowing that you left without Yuu!" Naomi said.
"Shit..." Yuka mumbled.
"Both of you! Out of my sight!" Naomi yelled at them, leaving just her and Reiko.
"... Don't yell at them... We couldn't get to him." Reiko said.
"There's a difference between not being able to, and not trying at all." Naomi said. "That is why I yelled at them."
"We did try, and we couldn't.." Reiko said.
"I monitored everything through the badge on your uniform. I don't appreciate when you lie to me Reiko. I'll get you the dress, don't worry. But for now, you should get some rest..."
"Okay Naomi, good night." Reiko said and hugged her.
"Good night sweetheart." Naomi replied and Reiko walked away.
