After leaving the Hunter base this morning after sleeping the night in preparation for the mission. We went to the train station in Neo Tokyo. It was a large station being the central station of Japan. We stood on the platform, waiting for the train to arrive. It was a High-Speed Bullet Train. Unlike that of years ago, these really are like bullets, and aren't bound by flat tracks. They have tracks that run on the ceiling... The train arrived, living up to it's name. It slowed down almost instantly while onboard, people didn't seem affected by the basically instantaneous stop.. We stepped on, and got into the Maverick Hunter's car. It had everything a Hunter would need; Search and Rescue equipment, local equipment such as Riot Packs and Land Chaser packs. Medpacks for humans and E-Tanks for Reploids. Emergency Recon Packs... Amazing. I sat down on a bed, and the rest of the group walked in. Aki I had my eyes on. I wondered if her special 'trait' would carry on in this mission.
"Hey bigshot, where ya from?" one of them asked.
The asker was named "Akamaru Akimichi", his name meaning "Red butterfly". He was a big guy who had a big, armoured body. HAS to be heavier than I am. He carried with him a large rifle. I was unsure of the accessories and functions the weapon had.
"... I'm from Neo Tokyo." I said.
"Well duh." Akamaru said. "I know, where? Creators?" Akamaru asked.
I didn't know my creators names yet. I just realized this now.
"... Uh, Neo Tokyo Institute of Reploid Technology... Don't know the names of my creators..." I said.
"Sucks... What was yer purpose?" he asked me as he placed his arm on my shoulder.
"... Front line guard for the Jakob Orbital Elevator , but that kinda got botched..." I said.
Botched is one HELL of an understatement. The girl sitting next to me looked over at me with a really drowsy look on her face,
"... I was supposed to be a guard for the Japan National Museum... I was temporarily before the revolt..." she said to me.
This was Kei Shizuko. Slender Reploid, great at hand-to-hand fighting. She has a short pony tail with light brown hair. She has a black undersuit and a yellow and white colour scheme. She was around 5 feet tall with square-based shoulder pads. She had mainly armour designs originating from Central City in England. I looked to my right towards the team captain, Isamu Nobuyuki. I took closer looks at the others as well.
Chieko Hitomi was a Strategical Navigator who makes out battle plans, good teams, and makes accurate maps and layouts of areas. She had a black undersuit with a pink and white colour scheme.
"Hitomi, what was your job?" I asked her.
She sighed. "My job was to be a plain old Navigator for the Federation before changes were made and I became Hunter material. I was then changed into BRAVO Team's official Navigator. I have all the materials needed on me." Hitmoi said as she opened a Datalog wrist computer.
Aki was already well known. Bitchy whiny woman. With a sword. But I do know she probably has a reason. Then there's me, the 'bait' of the team.
"Alright, so when we arrive in Chiba, we are going to be meeting the local Hunter's in a Medical Warehouse. They've been searching and investigating since yesterday." Nobuyuki said.
Hitomi nodded. "When we get to Chiba, we'll have to prepare for the worst... We could get ambushed..."
Arriving in southern Chiba, it is a proud town with flourishing scenery, and is one of the few towns in this area that survived over 200 years. We got off the train and stood at the station's entrance. We could see our rendezvous point down the street where the Local Hunters were. The Local Hunterswere a branch of Maverick Hunters who train and are sent back to their hometowns to serve there as primary defense, and can call for backup any time. We walked down the street, not speaking much at all as the streets and sidewalks weren't crowded. We arrived at the Chiba Medical Warehouse. We went to the front gates and the Gate-Keeper was waiting.
"... You must be BRAVO team. Go on, building seven, the Needle House." the Gate-Keeper said.
We nodded. Nobuyuki still showed him the Hunters I.D. to certify that he was a Hunter. Building 7 was the building two down from us. We proceeded over there and came to a door. A speaker next to the door cracked to life.
"... Coexisting with each other, Reploids still serve humans..." it said.
Nobuyuki pressed the button, while looking at a paper. We had to finish a sentence for them.
"... These are all lies, humans are fragile and are why we exist." Nobuyuki said.
The light above the door went from red to green. We heard a click, and Nobuyuki opened the door. We proceeded in. We could see in the center of the warehouse was six sets of lights shining upon a table with five Hunters sitting there. Upon approaching the table, Nobuyuki showed them his Hunter's I.D., and one of the guys showed Nobuyuki his.
"Maverick Hunter Isamu Nobuyuki... New Generation Reploid..." the guy said.
There was a glaring contest. Each had serious looks. I wondered if they were going to trade insults. The guy stood up, and the two hugged.
"It's good to see you. How've you been?" the guy said, releasing the hug.
"Not so hot. Japan is strict with their New Generations. We're forced to do this or face eradication." Nobuyuki said.
"Ah. Shame... Sit, sit down. We've got plenty of chairs." the guy said.
We all grabbed chairs. Aki and Shizuko fought over the chair next to Nobuyuki. Aki won. Shizuko sat next to me.
"Well, I suppose you're cute... You remind me of my favourite Musician... Was around a few hundred years ago." Shizuko said, giving me the warmest smile ever.
"Thank you... Who would that be?" I asked, regarding the Musician.
"Tee hee, that's a secret..." she said, winking.
I smirked and stared into space before looking at my hands. She faced the other guys, and so did I. The leader of the Local Hunters was a man named "Gruff McTuff". He chose an English name that was quite amusing. Apparently, he and Nobuyuki had a bet over the name "Nobuyuki", and Gruff lost. The other four Local Hunters looked the same, except for their colours. Faces weren't visible. The one in red was called "Chief Sarge". Had the respect of the others, but was also thickheaded. The one in blue was called "Church Joe". Smart guy. The one in light blue was named "Blue Caboose". One of those "Lucky Idiot" types. The last one, in black, was called "El Pasta". Apparently, he's a Spanish Transfer Hunter. Yet he didn't talk...
"Alright, we're here with one goal: SYN-UNKNOWN annihilation. Chibi will wander around Chiba as bait until a member approaches him, and then..."
