I was unsure if whether or not Kaede picked up on the ruse but I had to trick her along with Nobuyuki. Only now did I realize my current skills. I can't be a body guard for Jakob if I'm not able in combat. Only now have I decided to check my abilities in combat which were very basic martial arts. Obviously most of it had to rely on instinct, reflexes... I was practically a bouncer. Just to prevent those from entering a building but now here I am actually having to fight. I bent my knees in a certain way and clenched my fists, stretching my arms out and bending them in a certain way also. It was a typical stance, braced to stop an oncoming object, to kick, punch... But my body was larger than the average. Isamu quickly drew two small handles from his belt and formed a stance much faster than me and activated the weapons, revealing two small triangular sabers. With little hesitation, he lunged forward swinging his arms back as he ran the short five meter distance towards me. He swung his left saber wide towards me aiming for my right shoulder. It was a fast swing but I ignored the speed, merely bending my right arm and swinging the edge of my gauntlet in an elbow-like attack, hitting Isamu's hand given my forearm is much longer than his saber. The quick, finger crushing pain caused a quick release from Isamu in which he let go of the Saber and retracted his left arm instantly. He put both legs forward, stopping dead in his tracks. His right arm swung forward, either attacking me or because of the instant stop. I straightened my right arm as I readied my left arm to defend against his other saber.
"Gracias!" he said in something that obviously wasn't Japanese.
He swung his left arm towards my face forming a fist. Tricking me by faking the swing, his fist collided with my chin. It caused pain to soar through my skull. It wasn't enough to dislodge or break off my jaw but it forced my head to turn to the left and I staggered back. He didn't hesitate and pushed against the ground with his feet, doing a quick leap forward. My right eye didn't catch Isamu as it was the one covered with hair. Why the hell was it covered with hair was the only thing soaring through my mind. I actually tightened my right arm as it was closer to Isamu. His saber was swung towards my chest and I realized how close he was as I looked at the saber. I swung my right fist as well and opened my palm which determined my assumption was right. My hand hit him in the side of the head and I squeezed my hand, grabbing Isamu's shaggy hair. His saber swing slowed down as the quick sting he felt when I slapped his head jolted through him but it hit my chest armour and cut through half of it, the plasma burning the metal. The force caused me to arch my back and I took this moment. I pushed my arm forward in a move that I'd use to not fall face first into the ground and slammed Isamu's head into the ground instead. I still didn't let go as I made a small dent in the concrete. By now, we've gained bystanders and people running. I yanked my right arm and dashed forward, the force causing me to take off as I held on to Isamu's hair, dragging him forward.
"Grrk!" Isamu shouted as his face was being dragged on the ground.
There was a small groove being made in the concrete and soon in the dirt as we approached a small hill leading to a small circular fountain. The Dash stopped and I yanked my arm forward, swinging Isamu from the ground. Using my superior strength, I tossed Isamu forward and resisting when he grabbed my leg. His grip was weaker than my strength and he let go as I did the same time, sending him flying down the 1 meter high hill, down the length of the hill into the side of the fountain. He broke the bricks on the side and the water flowed out. Behind me, I turned and ran back to grab one of his sabers which stopped working. I ran forward, hearing Isamu grunting and bricks hitting more concrete indicating he got up. I got back to the sidewalk and Kaede was pretty much ignoring us and ignoring anybody talking to her which consisted of males. I grabbed a saber and stopped running while spinning around. I was faced with Isamu doing a low dash close to the ground. He pushed with his hands on the ground, putting him off the ground as he swung his left arm forward striking me in the unprotected gut. The impact made me keel over in pain and take a step back. Isamu planted his feet in the ground and stood up bringing his other arm up in an uppercut fashion. I quickly straightened my back making me stand up and avoiding Isamu's punch. I instigated the dash on my left foot but didn't direct it, causing my leg to shoot directly up. Doing so, I hit Isamu directly in his underarm of his uppercutting arm and there was a audible crack and scrape as I saw his body suit AND synthetic skin rip as several bars and wires forced itself through his skin showcasing that his arm broke.
"AAAUUGH!" He screamed as he stepped back and grabbed his wrist instead of his shoulder which was where the hit occurred.
There were several gasps. I saw the injury and cringed and my eyes widened.
"Holy shit! Are... Are you okay!" I asked in complete shock.
I then stopped as several people looked at me. Then I remembered that I'm supposed to do this. Well, not THIS... Just a fight to prove I'm 'serious' but did I just take it too far. I stopped thinking about it as Isamu then looked at me. Even I could tell... The look he gave me was a "too far" look.
"I'll... Uh... I'll save you from... The pain..." I said with an odd tone in my voice.
I took a step forward and brought my fist up towards Isamu's face.
"SHI-" he began to say, cut off from my fist hitting him on the forehead.
There was a thunk as I collided my fist with his skull. The impact tore through the synthetic skin and cracked the metal on his forehead part of the skull. His eyes rolled back as he stopped making any noise and let go of his forehead. He fell backwards as I knocked the blue Reploid out. Several people just starred along with me and then stared directly at me.
"... And... Uh... Don't touch my..." I said with people giving me odd looks. "... My car..." I said.
Somebody grabbed my collar and yanked me back. "Sorry... Uh, we'll take care of this..." Kaede said as she held up an ID. I turned my head as she yanked me. Her short height and arm length was nearly making me fall as she yanked on the collar. I saw the ID was a Maverick Hunter ID for the Far West Maverick Hunter Headquarters; the commander being Colonel Redips. It was obviously fake. She put the idea away and reached into a pack on her waist. She swung a circular object at my face. Turns out she placed something around my neck; a lock collar. Kaede had a leash-like device on it. I looked forward as I grabbed the leash. I saw Aki in the distance entering the park and merely turned myself around, walking with Kaede as we entered the small forest.
We got onto the rooftop of a building; Chiba Memorial High School. It was erected to be a memorial to the founders who were named after the town... So either way, it keeps the name of the town. It was built after the massive chaos the Earth Crisis caused. We sat on the roof during the classes going on as it was a pretty secure area. The fence prevented Reploids... Such as the Hunters, from wall jumping. The tops were modified in case of any attacks. The only way to the roof was up through the building. We managed to get up here by dressing as humans. I wore human clothing while Kaede wore an outfit too small for her. She was fidgeting because it bothered her to be wearing clothes at all instead of her usual getup. We were waiting for the other... SYN-Air.
"I really think I went a liiiiittle too far against Isamu." I said, constantly thinking about the hit I did to Isamu's arm.
"You did a fine job. Too far is if you kill him. He kinda has to stay alive." Kaede said as she got fed up with her shirt and simply ripped it off.
I looked away when she did and continued talking.
"Why does he have to stay alive?" I asked as I fidgeted with my Datalog.
"Can't really say yet but I do want to." Kaede said as she also ripped off her skirt leaving her essentially nude with the exception of her shoes. She began reaching into a bag she brought and put on her armour. "You can look if ya want." She said to me.
"I'm fine..." I said.
She let out a rather cute giggle but then I remembered... She was a total slut. I wonder why though... I also wonder when SYN-Air is going to get here. ... Why did they erect Jakob? What causes Mavericks that DON'T have a Copy Chip? What are other countries policies with New Gens? Why was I made a New Gen? Why the hell did SYN choose this town for an operation? Is it coincidence that BRAVO Team's first mission is fighting this small Maverick organization? I may never know.
