The Iron Symphogear

We are Taiso

I fly over to a Takumi Storage, warehouse. Apparently there's been a breach in the security here. Arriving I find that the place is covered in Ice? I land and I look around. "Hey JARVIS? Is the Cold resistant armor ready yet?" "No. It is currently 30% completed." Shit. Well I was hoping for it to be ready now. Guess I'll have to make due. I fly over to the warehouse, and I slowly enter the building. I look around to see Ice all over. What happened?

Taiso:(looking around) Phoo~ It's freezing in here. JARVIS Scan for anything that could have caused this.

"Scanning…..Life signature detected. Just ahead sir, he seems to be the cause for this attack. Shall I try to access his comms?"

"Do it." I say starting to creep up. Behind him, I take out my blade I put the blade up to the man's neck. "Who are you?" I ask with my voice being distorted. The man puts up his hand. "Who the hell-" I inch the blade closer to the man's neck. "My question first. Who are you, why are you here?" I ask, the man speaks up. "Donnie Gill. But my enemies know me as Blizzard." Blizzard? What is this a saturday morning cartoon? I ponder to myself given how bizarre the whole name is, and how he's been operating.

Iron Man: Really? Blizzard? I mean I have the Name Iron Man but that was given to me by the public. You… No one knows you.

Blizzard: Ok… But you do realise that Iron Man is quite blunt too. Don't you think?

Iron Man:(shrugs) Touche.

I respond to him. Still, Donnie Gill. Why does that name seem to familiar? I think I heard of it somewhere.

Chapter 8: The Purpose of Revenge

Iron Man: Now that, that's out of the way. What are you doing here? Why are you attacking a Takumi Industries warehouse?

Blizzard: Getting some necessary components for a device I plan to use, to get back at Akira Akagi.

Him? "What for?" I say lowering my blade and putting it away. "I'm gonna show Ako that my research can be used for more than just hurting people! He tried to use my work, and he had planned to use it as a weapon!" That does sound like Akira-san, he's always been obsessed with weapons. Dad had planned to fire him when he returned, from his business in the middle east… But he now rose up to the top and took over what's left. Most likely it's now nothing but small bits at this point. "But still, that was quite the surprise when I had you blade to my throat." Bizzard tells me, turning to me. "I've been working on my form." I explain to Blizzard crossing my arms.

Blizzard: That's kinda scary how calm you are about the whole thing… Anyways. I'm surprised that the Iron Man is here. I read about you're work on the internet. What do I owe the pleasure?

Iron Man:(sighs) I was responding to a distress call here. I expected to find terrorists, but I found you instead. I don't know whether or not to be happy. Or on guard.

"I'm here to collect some items, so I can show that son of a bitch what's for the best for my work!" Revenge… Well. I consider the possibility of his situation, it's like mine with the Lasers. They were never meant for combat, but Akira just turns them into weapons for the profit. Well if it's for that reason then... "There's only one last thing I need to ask. How can I help?" I ask him.

Location Change: Finé mansion

I sit at my desk looking up the locations for the remaining parts of Blizzards. "Hey JARVIS. Any of these parts look kinda fishy to you?" Most of these parts look to be some sort of weapon. "Well sir, may I say that this is Akira-san's doing? To make this into a weapon?" JARVIS notes to me, I nod too in clear agreement.

Taiso:(stands up) Huh. Good point. Still why would he need these parts? Wouldn't it be better to make his technology into something that will help people?

Finé:(walks in) Or perhaps he's tricking you.

Taiso:(surprised) Wah! F-Finé! You scared me. A-Anyways what do you mean by that?

Finé:(sits down and crosses legs) He said it himself. He wants revenge. And he wants to drag anyone especially Akira-san down with him.

Taiso:(shakes head) No. That can't be true. He said he wanted what's best for his work. He never said he wanted to hurt anyone.

Finé:(shrugs) Well. If you say so. But do keep in mind, all actions have a reaction. And you won't know what will happen till it happens. So you better be ready to clean up your mistakes.

Taiso:(turns away) No need to tell me twice.

We are Finé

I leave Taiso's room. And I head back up to the living room, but as I get upstairs I'm meet with the stern face of Chris. "Is something wrong?" I ask. "What's wrong? He's clearly getting manipulated! Why didn't you tell him to stop!?" Ah. That's why. Hmm. Ever worrying Chris. I smile was I begin to walk past.

Finé:(walks past Chris) Even if I were to tell him not to. He wouldn't listen. You know that as well as I do.

Chris:(clenches fist) I know but….

Finé:(smiles) Fufu.(turns back to Chris) Look Chris. If he wants to grow and become a proper leader to Lead his company, he needs to grow up.(smiles) And sometimes you have to grow in the hard way. The two of you have already experience this. But due to his stubborn beliefs. He still needs help to discern his friends to his enemies. He just needs someone like you to keep him safe.(hugs Chris) So do that for me ok?

Chris:(ponders)...Ok. I will.

"Good." We separate and I head off to my lab. Stay safe… Taiso… Oh dear. What am I thinking? I enter my lab, closing the door behind me. I put my hands over my chest as I let out a tired sigh. I need to stop being so attached to them… I clench my chest a subtle feeling of pain in my chest when I think of what my plans will entail. Sigh~ This is harder than I thought it would be… I try and shake the thought off as I walk to my desk.

We are Taiso Location Change: Takumi Storage

The two of us look at the facility. A sign of closure in the next week, on the entrance. "You're sure that the parts are here?" Asks Blizzard. "Yeah. I hacked into their network and found the coordinates here." And by Hack I mean, I used the systems master control. I basically know every code that my dad made, and oddly enough most of them still work. This just screams lazy, lazy coding.

Blizzard:(nods) Nice. Ok this is the last raid I will need to do before I can, show what my invention can really do.

Iron Man:(crosses arms) Hey. Not to be a buzzkill but I noticed that most of these parts are for a weapon.

Blizzard:(turns to Iron Man) Huh? Oh. Right, I didn't explain. Akira was creating the weapon. I'm here to take it.

Iron Man: But. Couldn't you just make something that could change the world? That would prove that you're cryo-

Blizzard: Look Iron Man, I understand that you are concerned and all. But even IF I were to prove that this invention could change the world, Akira would still use this as a weapon. So we just need to show him to not get in out way.

Iron Man: … Fine. But when we do go to him, we don't drag anyone else into this mess. And we shouldn't kill him.

Blizzard nods as I take hold of his backpack and we fly over the gate. "Wait. Have you turned off the security?" I give a nod. "I turned it off when we arrived." We fly over to the loading area, we land and I walk up to the door control. "If we be silent about this we-" But before I can finish my sentence, Blizzard raises up his cryo ray and freezes the door and breaks through. The hell?! That's the complete opposite of what I was thinking?!

Iron Man:(stands up) Whoa! That only gonna attract attention to us!

Blizzard:(chuckles) All the more reason for Akira to fear us.

"But isn't this- Arh." Paradoxical thinking… I'm beginning to regret my choice. I just hope he doesn't kill anyone in the process. We head inside, from the looks the security has been already notified. Crap! I forgot the silent security! "Hurry. Let's make this quick. The more they know we are coming the more security will-" Blizzard raises his arm and freezes the doors. "Well...that works to." I say looking at the frozen door. "Mechanised security is on it's way. Can you handle it?" Blizzard asks me. "Can I?" I say sarcastically as I launch up, I target lock onto the security robots. Charging up my repulsors, I blast down 3 of them, and the last one comes towards me. I take out my blade and I slice it straight down the middle. All that self taught sword style is working out great so far. I clean off my blade before spinning it in my hand before putting the blade on my back as the sheath, sheathes the blade.

Blizzard:(sighs) Show off.

Iron Man: Did you expect anything less?

Blizzard:(shrugs) Well. This makes my job easier so I shouldn't complain.

Blizzard walks up to a crate, opening it up I hear a chuckle from his comm. Taking out the contents of the crate I'm shocked to see what it is… A firing mechanism for a cannon. The mechanism is not what's worrying about it, it's the general power that it could impose. An entire battalion of soldiers could be frozen in an instant. Please let him just be going after Akira. "This is the parts made my Akira for my research. Wait and see Akira. Just you wait." Blizzard starts to chuckle. I swallow my saliva, and Finé's words echo through my head. I need to confirm his intentions just so he doesnt kill anyone in the process of his revenge. I walk over to Blizzard as he puts away his cargo.

Blizzard: It's best that we split up now.(turns to Iron Man) It will be easier to hide the parts.

Iron Man: Ok...Hey. Wh-What really happened? To make you so mad at Ako?

Blizzard pauses… And lets out a sigh. "Right. I never did tell you." His face plate rises up, and I'm shocked. His face is scarred terribly, I can't seem to comprehend how this could have happened. What could have happened to his to damage his face in such a way? I'm too shocked to even move a bit seeing how damaged his face is.

Blizzard:(angered) I was working on my work, when Akira's goons came in… They killed my wife and son… Without mercy. Then after they took my work, they decided to blow up my lab and me along with it… That's why I'm doing this.

Iron Man: I-I didn't know.

Blizzard:(face plate closes) And I never told you. This is for the best… I'll contact you again.

Blizzard runs off towards the vehicle that he came in with the parts… Perhaps I should look up his family's grave and give my regards to them… I power up my jets as I fly off back to Finé's mansion. But on my flight back, I keep thinking about his name and where I heard such a name before. I put the thought away, I keep flying back, but with the odd feeling of doubt beginning to grow in me.
