*I'm baaaaaccckkk! Missed me? Had to take a break for a very long time to relax. Also had long multiplayer sessions with my friend Giovanni on the Baldur's gate series 2 weeks ago as trying to finish the series as good characters(I was a neutral good ranger and Giovanni was a chaotic good mage/thief.) and good lord does the games kick our asses so many times. Anyway I'm back and ready to continue the story so let's get this show on the road. Oh and before I forget. There's gonna be some Shadowrun cyberpunk slangs coming up so if you have no idea what they mean go the Shadowrun Cyberpunk glossary from the land of kain.*
Chapter 36
(Mizuki's pov)
00:08 in Spain
Another day another day spend my time on my computer. Things are quiet when I hear two of my guys talking as the television was going on.
"Great...more news from the damn culture vultures."
"What are they talking about this time?"
"The rebellious viper everybody in ADVENT is talking about. Mizuki knows him. Said she's his childhood friend. Goes by the name Dante Vera. I looked the guy up and it turns out he was of the guys that got experimented by ADVENT when ADVENT was gaining control on the world. Now...remember those chips that I found from that sectoid?"
"Yeah?"
"Turns out those chips are what controls the ADVENT soldiers by sending signals to the chip from the elders."
"Huh...explains why they act like bakebrains."
"Yeah. For some reason from what the surveillance footage I managed to scavenge was Dante resisting control. No one in ADVENT had never seen this kind of resistance before and was becoming worry some. No matter what they did that just couldn't control him. It's as if he's still clinging to his humanity he has left of him."
"So how did he become a viper king? Did they injected him with a DNA of a clone?"
"Worse. Someone from the chop shop thought it would be a good idea to inject Dante with DNA from a dead viper king."
"Ah drek...if it's one thing I learned from Kojima is that mixing DNA from a dead person to a live one can do some messed things to you."
That's when I started getting in the conversation.
"And if Dante were to lose control of himself, the viper king would surely do serious damage on the opposing side." I leaned back a bit.
"How would you know he'll help the resistance?" One of the guys looked at me.
"I'm gonna take a wild guess that he made of pull some strings to have the viper king help the resistance...that or that the viper king is probably on a complete bloodlust to murder everyone in ADVENT with or without the resistance. Who knows." I shrugged.
As I continued typing on my computer, I hear something from the news that made me smirk a bit.
"In other news, ADVENT has finally managed to get the identity of the troublesome hacker Fantomu Neki who is no other than-what? Hold on...what do you mean the data is being erased...? How is this happening in the first place?"
I pressed enter on my keyboard to play a pre recorded message that disoriented my voice to hide my identity on the news channel.
"Awww...did little old me destroyed something important? You people should know better that trying to find the identity of a hacker is never simple. Besides...you never know when they are one step ahead of you. I'll deal with you bakebrains later...for now...Ciao!"
I have never laughed so hard when the news lady signals the cameraman to stop the camera in complete panic.
"Mizuki strikes again! Ha ha! That will show those bakebrains that try to expose me to the media!" I cackled as the other guys laughed their asses off.
Yeah...I can be such a nuisance to my enemies.
"Mizuki..." I heard Rachael in a monotone voice.
I look to my right to see Rachael walking towards me with a flash drive on her hand.
"Yeah? What's up, sis?"
She tosses me the flash drive as I caught it with my right hand and just looked at Rachael confused.
"Gatô found the location of our father's hideout..."
I quickly jacked the flash drive in my laptop and quickly found the recent data...I analyzed it and my eyes went wide...it's...
"He's in Kyoto...our home..."
Rachael slowly nods...
"One problem...Gatô told me that place got taken over by ADVENT. If we go there, we need to be careful cause they are looking for him and any of those related to him to draw him out." She tells me as she sits next to me.
"Probably to kill him..."
Rachael nods slowly this time with a look of regret on her face.
"Afraid so. ADVENT don't like taking no for an answer when they want someone to cooperate with them."
What a bunch of fucking immature bakebrains...
"Damn it...we have to do something. I can't just stand here and do nothing." I growled.
"Save it. We can't do anything at the moment but wait. Rushing in without a plan is going to cost our lives...and God forbid end up like those kids were experimented to become alien soldiers or like one of the chosens that raided us."
I was going to protest but that harsh emotionless glare tells me that I should shut the fuck up.
"Right now Gatô is finding a safer route to father's location without being seen...then again there's a good chance that disgrace of an assassin might show up to get you."
Yeah she's still a bit pissed that the assassin slanders the way of honor like a coward when she's clearly isn't a warrior. Then again any Japanese who has their code of honor would be pissed about it.
"Shit...I forgot about that bitch." I groaned.
"Right...for now we wait for Gatô on what he can find."
I was dead silent for a good long 2 minutes as I sighed deeply in defeat...
"Okay, sis...you win. We'll wait." I leaned back with a annoyed look on my face.
She nods as I took my drone(work in progress) from under my desk and decided to do some tinkering on it.
"Let's hope he doesn't take long. The more he wastes time, the more I fear father's life could be at jeopardy." I frowned a bit.
"You and me both. Let's hope he finds him soon..."
He better or we are going to have a problem...either way...I'm gonna knock the teeth out of my father so he can explain why he abandoned us...
