Kamakura Ishui's Residence
Wakayagi-cho, Showa-ku, Nagoya City, Aichi prefecture, Japan
1500 hrs
Ishui was still in shock seeing a beautiful foreign girl in his kitchen, even cooking what seems to be an expensive looking western meal
"W-Wait...can you repeat your name again?" He asked while still trying to piece the puzzles together
"My name is P99" she said before being cut off by Ishui
"As in P99 Handgun, made by Walther?" Ishui asked while sitting on the sofa
"Comercially speaking, yes" She clarify his question before her HUD had an incoming call
"Oh, Mr. Kryuger wanted to speak with you.." P99 said while putting her hand on her ear
"Kryu-who?" He was confused by the name, barely resembling any Japanese name
"Sounds foreign" he said while putting a confused look
"Ehehe, that's because he IS foreign, he's the CEO of Griffin and Kryuger PMC corporation, where I lay my arms with...Commander, can you please give me the Rubik's cube?" she asked while pointing at the cube
"O-oh right..." Ishui headed straight to the table and grabbed the cube and gave it to P99, she held the cube before it turning into a holographic projector
She put it on the floor and 4 figures appeared in front of him
a male and 3 females, but one caught his eye
"Are those...ears real?" Ishui pointed towards Persica's "Cat ears"
"Well more or less" Persica spoke through the Holograph projector, before crossing her arms
"So you're Ishui Kamakura.." The middle aged man spoke with a heavy russian accent to it
"You can speak Japanese?" Ishui was surprised to see a foreigner able to speak japanese that fluent
"I learned boy...now back to the topic...Are you Ishui Kamakura?" He asked
"Yes, umm...P99 said you're Kryuger right?" He asked while slightly scared because of Kryuger's intimidating aura
"True, my name is Berezovich Kryuger, CEO of Griffin and Kryuger Private Military Company and Security Consultant Company...I know you have a lot of questions, but for now, bear with me and listen, can you do that kiddo?" he asked while putting his arms on his hips
"Y-Yes sir...I think..." He said while rubbing his head
"Good, earlier this morning around 00:50 Russian Pacific Time, we received a meteor strike hitting the Arctic Ring of Pacific Ocean, resulting a loss of Russian Navy's Patrol Group, costing about 2 Ships and about 805 crews killed...other T-Dolls that worked with Task Force DEFY observed the crash site from far away and found out the "meteorite" was actually a man made object.." He said as a series of pictures obtained from Task Force DEFY's reconnaissance showed on screen
"Huh...okay? So what does it have to do with me?" He asked while sitting on the sofa
"My Company already issued Project : Host just in case if, Angelia's predictions regarding "A catastrophic destruction" caused by this object came to reality..and turns out the Cube itself choose you as it's master" Kryuger explained as more pictures regarding the cube showed up
"So she, P99 called me commander earlier.." He said while pointing at P99
"Ah that...the owner of this cube basically part of our Corporation..." he said while P99 just waving her arms and smiled
"and the ones that leading these T-Dolls are called Commanders" he said while clearing his throat
"well..what do you exactly want me to do?" He asked still have no clue about this
"A potential war is coming my boy, in this time of era, many countries were in the peak of their political tension, combined with the recent incident, they won't hesitate to possess the power of that thing" Kryuger spoke as he began to tap several buttons on the HUD,
"Not to mention, the casualties were Russian which raise a suspicion that USA attacked them with an unknown technology". He said while showing all the events that led before
"You might heard about World War 3 before..." he said while his phone ringing and saw it was a file
"Wait...did you hack my phone?!" He showed his phone towards Kryuger
"Relax kid, your phone is now connected with Cloud Storage of GnK, basically you're and official part of us and you need to know why..." Kryuger said towards Ishui, he couldn't do anything and just sighed
"Please continue..." Ishui sighed as he sat down and listening what Kryuger had to say
"I think you've already heard about World War 3, that caused many areas on earth uninhabitable..." Kryuger said as a file popped up on Ishui's phone
"Yeah...but back on my days in Academy" Ishui said as he read the file
"Good, so you know what caused that war..." Kryuger asked him which Ishui nodded
"Yeah, the usage of Collapse Fluid Technology as a Dirty Bomb, causing millions of kilometers in form of land and nation uninhabitable..." Ishui saw the pictures contained in the files which was a single canister of Collapse Fluid and what was remaining of the major cities around the world
"Correct, and all of the world Superpowers, USA, China, Russia, even North Korea tried their best to create a non-Nuclear WMD filled with Collapse Fluid..." Kryuger added
"Yeah I know..." Ishui just sighed as he kept scrolling through the pages
"But still...why me? why not a capable leader?" Ishui asked before turning off his phone and looked at Kryuger with both worried and confused expression
"The Cube chose you, I know it must be a burden for you to carry, being the only one compatible with the cube, but it is what it is, but fret not, I, as a CEO of GnK and my whole company, will try our best to assist you, but for now, you have your first trusted T-Doll under your wing, lead her well..." Kryuger said with a stern but supportive tone
That made Ishui felt better a little, despite not knowing anything about how military leadership works
"Right now, you'll be provided with three of our best staff, this girl with a monocle here is my secretary, her name is Helianthus" Kryuger stepped back as Helian just bowed a little
"P-Pleasure to meet you..." Ishui bowed towards Helian before seeing the other two girls
"This one here is Kalina, she's the most optimistic, and energetic in our company, she control the logistic and maintenance department" Kryuger spoke again before Kalina waved her hand while winking
"Heya! I'm Kalina! hope we can work together very well!" She cheerfully introduced herself towards the rookie Mangaka
"And the last one is our hardworking brain of our company, her name is Persica, she might not look tidy, typical scientists, but she can make a lot of adjustments, she's part of 16Lab which was our only Research and Development facility, albeit it wasn't part of GnK but worked together with it" Kryuger explained towards the rookie Commander before Persica just put on an intrigued smile towards him
"Glad to meet you in person commander, don't expect me to use my time to get along pretty well, just hit me up when you need something of importance" She said before her ear perked up
"Again...are those ears real?" He pointed at Persica's pair of cat ears
"You'll know soon enough" Persica said before shrugging
"Well that's all for introduction, and excuse me I need to have a chat with your Minister regarding my arrival..." He said before tapping several buttons on his HUD screen
"And Kid...Don't hesitate to ask if you need help, and welcome to GnK, we'll try our best to provide you with any knowledge regarding a commander.." Kryuger's small pep talk made Ishui slightly feel a little bit better
"Yes sir!" Ishui saluted towards the CEO before logging off, followed by Helian and then Persica
Kalina stayed a bit behind to give another talk towards Ishui
"Don't worry Commander, you can call me too if you need some help!" She gave Ishui a thumbs up before logging off as well, leaving him a blushing mess
"Well...I guess I'm not an ordinary Mangaka anymore" Ishui joked slightly while grabbing the cube and put it on the coffee table
"Ah that reminds me, I made you dinner commander, hope you don't mind, and sorry if it isn't very appetizing..." P99 showed Ishui the dinner she made, it was a mix of Japanese and German style cuisine
"Looks delicious! And...to be honest, this is the first time I saw these foods, proper food to be exact" Ishui sighed softly before sitting down and tried the main dish first, it was a pork cutlet curry and 2 German cuisine, a small pot of Pfefferpotthast (A traditional peppered beef stew of the German cuisine that belongs to the cuisine of Westphalia) and another plate of Sauerkraut
Ishui began to take a small piece of the curry and ate it, the taste was different from standard Japanese curry
"it has a little bit of western hit..." Ishui commented before eating another spoonful, "but I loved it though" he added while eating a bit quicker
"Teehee, I'm happy you enjoyed it commander" P99 smiled as she sat across his seat
"Please call me Ishui, P99-san, I'm..not used to the word commander, well because I'm not resembling any person with militaristic capabilities" He just shrugged while eating more of the meal
"Anywho, did what Kryuger said was true? about there will be another world war?" Ishui asked while sighing
"Well, it could be, the world war 3 itself resulting in many lands in earth became uninhabitable, and the effects of Collapse Bomb still lingers in most of the cities, rendering them a danger zone, many people forced out from their homes and lived in the public refugees and even in the streets due to the cramped conditions.." P99 explained
"and I knew you're also fighting another company right? I think it was Sangvis Ferri? if I remember correctly?" he asked before taking a sip from his drink
"That's correct, eventhough we, GnK T-Dolls aren't that different from Sangvis Ferri's Dolls..." P99 sighed as she looking down, her face shown a hint of regret
"Hey, look, world war 3 is over, no use on dwelling the past..." Ishui replied before taking the last bite of his meal
"Besides, Sangvis Ferri is no more right?" He asked
"Not true, they might still roam around, and we didn't manage to destroy their primary mainframe..." P99 replied
"I see, well I guess we have to worry about this, world war 4 that Mr. Kryuger told me earlier" Ishui sighed before finishing his meal and putting his dishes on the sink
"Ah, let me clean the plates commander!" P99 intervened before Ishui letting out a small laugh
"it's fine P99-san, you made me this delicious meal, and this is at least something that I could do" Ishui only replied with a smile that caused P99 to smile while having a small hint of pink on her cheeks
"If you say so commander" She giggled at his response which somehow gave Ishui a mild comfort in his heart
but their moments were interrupted due to a beeping coming from the cube
"Is that the cube? what happened??" He asked
"Hold on, let me check" P99 grabbed the Rubik's cube before twisting it to the right one time and it turned to a small holographic projector
"Oh this is a letter of instruction, from HQ, it said that you'll be receiving 3 new T-Dolls this week, one already sent and two were on the way" P99 stated before giving Ishui the details
Ishui looked towards the holograph and saw another 2 T-dolls, one with white hair, a pair of blazing orange eyes and wear a pair of glasses, she wore a navy blue coat with blue beret hat with indigo ribbon as a decorative touch, she wore a blue navy coat with white buttoned up uniform, blue-black checkered skirt, red checkered necktie, dark grey tights with combat boots, she was holding a rifle and had a combat knife strapped on the side of her right thigh
and the other T-Doll had a creme brown hair done short shoulder length cut with a hairpin, turqoise-blue eyes, wearing what seems to be a black uniform that covered her white skirt with white buttoned up shirt and black tie complete with a matching cap, she had her weapon hung around her neck with a sling and carrying a bag of documents, an old fashioned hand-held camera could be seen on her too
Ishui read their labels on the index number
"M1A1 and MP-41?" Ishui asked P99
"Yep, M1A1-chan is a carbine rifle and MP-41 is an SMG" P99 responded before taking the cube back and scroll for more info
"The two will arrive possibly tomorrow" She said
"But tomorrow I have to go to work..." Ishui said before looking at their arrival schedule
"Commander also work?" She asked
"Well...more like a simple work to help me sustain a living, at the coffee shop.." He responded while rubbing the back of his head, he was quite embarrassed about it because their commander was just an employee at coffee shop
"I see, well I could keep an eye of the house if you want though" She responded before putting the dishes on the respective cabinets
"No no no! No need to, Kryuger will kill me if he saw you just staying put and become like some sort of housemaid..." Ishui laid down on the sofa, P99 sat on across him
"I mean you could come with me though, I can show you around Tokyo if you want, sounds good?" He offered which P99 only responded by a giggle
"I'd love too, what time should I wake you up?" She asked
"Around 8 a.m. that's about half an hour before my work starts" He stated before heading upstairs
"I'll have a nap for now, the guest room is empty, you could sleep there if you want" He said before heading upstairs, P99 only responded with a nod, she then walked inside the room and rested up for the day
Few Hours Later...
Japan's Ministry of Defence
5-1 Ichigayahonmuracho
Shinjuku City, Tokyo
Japan
1950 hrs
Kryuger could be seen walking with Helian towards the Ministry, accompanied with GnK's Security Service and Local Authorities
In front of them, stood a man around his late 50's accompanied with two members of Japan's Ministry Secret Service, he had grey hair, wearing spectacles and formal business suit, typical politician look
Shibui Noko
Japan's Minister of Defense
"Welcome to Tokyo, Mr. Kryuger, we didn't expect to see the CEO of world's leading Security Industries..." The politician offered the CEO a handshake which he gladly took
"Pleasure to meet you too, Mr. Noko, I assume you already knew about my arrival?" His questions was easily answered by the minister
"Your secretary had informed me earlier, and if what you said was true, Pacific was in great danger..." The old minister walked together with Kryuger towards the conference room where it was attended with most of political officials of Japan
"Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to our special guest, this is Mr. Berezovich Kryuger, CEO of GnK PMC corporation, he's here to discuss an anomaly that occured in northern Pacific
Kryuger walked into the podium as Helian turned on a holographic projector
"Greetings gentlemen, Your Minister already introduced me earlier, so I'll skip the formalities..."
Kryuger then explained the events that happened in the Arctic in full detail, the audiences, which were comprised of Generals, military officials, Ministers and politicians looked concerned about the dire situation
"The meteorite itself still dug in the arctic doing God knows what, but considering their weapon range that one of our Tactical Dolls analyzed they could reach as far as Hokkaido, not to mention if this thing managed to move, they could reach in Tokyo in no time..." Kryuger's statement made a lot of the audiences muttering towards each other, a lot of them had panic expression drawn on their faces
"We initiate Project : Host, an experimental project on searching the candidate to take command of our T-Dolls, the Dolls' Neural Cloud were storage inside a 4x4 Monochromatic Rubik's Cube, which gave the user an access of T-Dolls that they could use for self defense, each of these T-Dolls are powerful, even surpassing 5 squad of Delta Force, and we found one candidate that was suitable for it..." Kryuger said as Helian began showing the picture of Ishui Kamakura, and his usual daily activity, which was his usual Mangaka related activities (I.e. drawing, and sketching) and even his workplace which was a coffee shop
Knowing this most of people, especially from Military objected the decision
"Why does a nobody have to be the host of such sophisticated technology?! let the military handle this problem! after all protecting Japan from outside threats has always been our duty!" One General spoke up clearly upset about Kryuger's decision
"With upmost respect General...this project is not simple as you think, the cube needs to find the perfect candidate, it strictly require a compatible host so it'll able to open it's access, trust me, it cost about 5 scientists who just merely touching the cube, it's causing a burst on their neural synapse and killing 3, and 2 were permanently paralyzed, unless you want to lose all of your precious men to fight for this country then you'll be my guest!" Kryuger sternly and strongly rebutted all the General's statement.
Helian never seen her boss getting this frustrated, angry from before, something tells her that this attack might coming sooner or later
"So what do you want us to do..." One politician spoke
"Protect this man, don't get this cube falls into wrong hands, and when the time has come, He'll use the available T-Dolls to strike the object that was located on the Arctic itself" Kryuger said as showing the picture of Ishui
"And if foreign countries heard about this, they definitely want to take this kid away, just for the cube, and probably left the body rot somewhere.." He huffed a sigh of frustration as the presentation came to an end
Until one person spoke up, it was a female with golden blonde hair and had blue eyes, she was wearing a lab coat with white shirt underneath with light brown pants
"Permission to ask Mr. Kryuger..."
Kryuger's put all of his attention towards the female, a scientist with a name tag written "Miyuki Hamakura"
"Yes, to whom am I speaking?" He asked in return
"Greetings, my name is Miyuki Hamakura, I'm a scientist specialized in Bio-Engineering and Bio-Infrastructure Manufacturing and Maintenance, from Onigawa Biotechnology Industries" She introduced herself to the CEO
"I heard that your company is currently developing Drones and other Autonomous Defense Systems for the military am I right?" He clarified their research which she gave a nod at his statement
"Indeed, I, on behalf of Onigawa Biotechnology Industries need to ask a simple question...
If this...extraterrestrial thing that you presented us before was indeed man-made, who and how long will it attack Japan?" she asked while taking out a recorder
"The culprit is yet to be discovered, for now that thing lays dormant on the ice shelves of the Arctic, and we don't know yet, why the interest?" He asked while gaining a little suspicion from this lady
"It's..." She tried to respond but cut short due to a call
"Yes? on it..." She stood up and walked towards the door
"I'm afraid I must leave Mr. Kryuger, my research team needs me" she said before leaving the conference
Kryuger was dumbfounded that she might have a lead, but he kept his composure before finally turning towards his assistant
"We are leaving.." Kryuger and Helian prepped themselves before leaving, not until many objections and questions rose up from the audiences and also reporters
Next Day
0730 hrs
Ishui Kamakura Residences
Ishui woke up by the astounding smell of cooking from the kitchen, he yawned before stretching up a little bit
"Hmm, I wonder what P99 cooked for breakfast" He said before washing his face and headed downstairs
"Morning.." He said while still yawning
"Ah! Morning Commander! Sorry, I intended to wake you first but it'd be better to cook you a breakfast before you start your day" P99 said as she flawlessly flipped a pancake and served it on the plate along with egg and hash browns
"Ahaha, no need to worry P99, your cooking woke me up, and it smells good, so basically you woke me up too" Ishui laughed wholeheartedly, P99 was pleased hearing this, she then served his breakfast while she sat across him
"Eat up commander"
"Thank you for the meal!" He said before digging in into the meal
Small Timeskip
After finishing his meal, he dressed up for working
"P99, are you ready yet?" He asked as he stood by the door
"Should I bring my firearm Commander?" She asked while finished dressing up herself
"Hmm, sure, it'll be useful in a pinch..Come on! There's so much that I wanted to show you!" Ishui rode his bike as P99 sat on the back seat
"Hang on tight!" Ishui said as he began paddling his bike to the coffee shop
