Chapter 2 Hard Hard work.

Location: United States of America Nevada Las Vegas at Yuta's Restaurant/home

Date: 2/29/2020

Time: 11:30pm.

One hot February night in Nevada Las vegas in an alleyway behind Yuta's Restaurant. A 2015 Toyota Camry puls up and parks next to a blue Subaru Impreza STI 1992.

"Alright, Matthew were home," Sarah says, turning off the car.

"Matthew?"

…..

Saarah turns around only to find Matthew sleeping, head against the window peacefully sleeping.

"Sleeping like a baby sigh."

Sarah reaches her hand out and violently rubs her hand on Matthews head causing him to jerk up and look at Sarah with an annoyed expression.

What was that for? Matthew asks, yawning.

"We're home, that's why." Sarah replies smiling.

"Home already Yawn. What do you think dad's reaction will be when we tell him the news?"

Matthew asks stretching.

"I'm sure Yuta will be shocked as I was when I saw you activate that I.S."

Sarah responds,

"And what will Aiko's reaction be when I tell her that I can pilot an I.S?"

Matthew asks.

"Aiko's reaction, well, we will have to see for ourselves so let's head inside." Sarah beacons Matthew exiting the car and heading toward the back entrance of the restaurant.

"Well, I hope Aiko isn't still off." Matthew thinks to himself, before exiting the car and following Sarah inside.

"Were back!" Sarah says out loud, opening the back door and entering the hallway with Matthew following.

The hallway is just 2 cement walls that have been painted white. The floor is cement tiles and the roof of the hallway is just like the wall, cement colored white and two longe rectangle lights that are split in 2 by a vent and a fire alarm and down the hall are two doors that lead to the main dining room and to the left of the back entrance/whare Matthew and Sarah entered are 2 doors leading toward their personal dining room and living room and right next to that door are 2 separate locker rooms for boys and girls to change in and right next to the 2 locker rooms is the public restroom for the customers to use. To the right is another pair of doors that leads to the main kitchen.

"Welcome back, I just finished closing up and dinner is in the Kitchen." Says a Japanese man in his late 40s. He has black warm hair and chocolate brown eyes and is wearing a black button-up shirt with blue jeans and a white apron coming out of the kitchen.

"But anyways how was Area 51 Matthew?" the man asks.

"It was awesome dad and I have so much to tell you and."

"Hold on Matthew lets talk about this during dinner but first go tell Aiko its time for dinner and wash your hands while I set the table alright."

"Alright dad."Matthew

Replies opening the door to the dining room/living room and entering it.

The dining room not the main dining room has a rectangular oak table with 6 oak chairs and in front of the dinner table is a leather brown couch that seats 3 people and is facing away from the dinner table and facing toward the large flat screen tv hooked up to a DVD player and in the middle of the living room is a black carpet covering the cement floor. Also, there are 2 leather seats facing toward the T.V and in the middle of the living room is a rectangular oak coffee table in the living room as well and on the side of both the kitchen and living room is a staircase leading towards the 2nd floor.

Matthew runs upstairs thinking to himself man I wonder what dad and Aiko's reaction will be once I tell them I can pilot an I.S then all of a sudden

"MEN!"

"WHAPAC"

"AWWW MY HEAD...THAT HURT….WHAT WAS THAT FOR AIKO!?" Matthew exclaims

A little girl presumably Aiko wearing a green dress white stockings and has brown eyes black hair tied in a ponytail by a white bow and is currently holding a shinai.

"That was for not letting me come with you guys to Area 51. Aiko replies.

Aiko Yamamoto

Born 12/7/2013

Age:7

Height 3 foot 8

Nationality: Japanese American

"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T INVITED NOW GIVE MY SHINAI BACK!" Matthew roars trying to grab his shinai but Aiko pulls it away and strikes Matthew on the head twice yelling out "MEN!"

"OWWW AIKO." Matthew roars laying on the floor holding his head.

"Hmph, It's my Shinai now." Aiko responds by sheathing her shinai and walking downstairs for dinner.

"Welp that answers my question she is still pist off about that." Matthew says to himself, before getting up and heading towards the restroom to wash his hands.

In the restroom.

AS Matthew finishes washing his hands, he stares at himself in the mirror.

How should I tell Aiko and dad that I can pilot an I.S? Matthew thinks to himself

Dad, I have important news. Matthew says to himself in the mirror

What is it Matthew? Matthew says pretending to be his dad.

I can pilot An I.S now.

Huh, no way.

Yes way

Nah this stupid why am I even doing this? Matthew asks himself.

Whatever, I'll just ask him like that. Matthew says to himself exiting the restroom.

Now Aiko's reaction would probably pretend not to care like she always doses, and Nikolas's response would be….. Matthew stops dead in his tracks, remembering Nikolas isn't here anymore.

Nikolas….. isn't here anymore. Matthew looks towards a family picture on a wall.

"The picture shows Matthew and his family at Disneyland.

This picture was taken in the late summer of 2016 a year before the war started.

Matthew looks towards another picture that is on a long table with flowers. The picture shows Nikolas in his dress blues saluting next to an American and Japanese flag.

He joined up as soon as the war started and made a name for himself and one of his most heroic actions is when he and his squad shot down 30 bombers that were on their way to Tokyo whilst being fired upon by Chinese fighter jets and by the bombers themselves.

On July 4th of 2019 on my 15th birthday, 2 soldiers in full uniform enter my family's restaurant and tell my parents "Mr and Misis Yamamoto I'm truly sorry to report that Captain Nikolas Yamamoto was shot down and killed over Enemy territory by enemy Fighters whilst saving a fellow pilot."

That was the worst thing to happen on my birthday. Hearing my brother's death.

He was my hero and I looked upon him for what he has done and now it's my turn to serve this country just like my Brother.

Matthew saluts the picture of his dead brother and heads downstairs for dinner.

Downstairs in the dining room.

As Matthew takes a seat across from Aiko, Sarah takes a seat next to Matthew while Matthew's dad takes a seat next to Aiko. on the dinner table are 6 bowls of ramen 1 for each and a glass of water for each and in the middle of the table is a plate of freshly made sushi

"So Yuta how was work?" Sarah Asks taking a bite out of her ramen.

"Work was normal today and everybody did their part and also Matthew John asked if you could send him the answers for math Homework and that he will give you the answers for the English homework." Yuta/Matthews dad says taking some Sushi.

"Alright dad, I'll text John the answers later." Matthew replies.

"But anyways Matthew tell me about Area 51, what did you see and most importantly did you see any aliens? Yuta asks jokingly.

Matthew stops what he is doing and places his chopstick down and gets up from his set and says "I'm glad you asked dad but the question you should be asking is what I did in Area 51. Matthew says proudly.

"So I'm guessing you did see an alien or aliens." Yuta says chuckling to himself.

"No but it includes me with an I.S dad."

"You saw an I.S being worked on in Area 51!? Well, that's not surprising since Area 51 is a testing ground for the United States new toys but what does an I.S half do with you?" Yuta asks, half surprised.

"Well what happens when you put a male in an I.S dad."

"Nothing happens Matthew, we all know males cant pilot an I.S." Yuta answers quickly.

"Well not anymore dad because now I am officially the first Male to pilot an I.S." Matthew says proudly standing on his chair and placing his leg o the table and pretending to be like George Washington crossing the Delaware River.

"Yuta and Aiko freeze and look at Matthew in a confused face comprehending what Matthew just said before looking at Sarah who nods yes then back to Matthew who nods yes.

"HUH WHAT!?"

"Wait a minute you're telling me you can pilot an I.S?

"Yea explain to us how you are able to pilot an I.S!?" Aiko asks, almost getting on the table.

"Alright alright i'll tell you everything that happened to us when we first Arrived in Area 51."

2-days latter

Date 3/2/2020

Time: 5:00pm

Location Area 51

2 hours ago Matthew was picked up from his middle school early and was driven by 2 F.B.I agents to area 51 and now Matthew is in the hangar with Micheal and Robert.

"Welcome back Matthew Are you ready to start training to become the best I.S pilot the world has ever seen?" Micheal asks.

"I sure am Micheal, so what will I be doing today...Will I be flying it today or something?" Matthew asks.

"Now Matthew before we let you pilot it we got to make sure you are a boy." Micheal says

"Hahaha you're so funny." Matthew says

Matthew says being sarcastic.

"No, I'm serious, it's the General's orders."

Micheal says in a serious tone.

"Oh...so you're not joking?"

"Mhmm."

"Oh well...I guess I'll do the tests as long as the test doesn't involve needles"

"Don't worry, I'm sure the tests don't involve you getting a needle into you..I think."

Micheal reasors.

"Right so what do I do in this test and how long will the test be?"

Matthew asks.

"I don't know I'm a scientist, not a doctor and that's why you will be visiting the base doctor or Robert's girlfriend in the med bay." Micheal says

"Hey, she's not my girlfriend, we're simply childhood friends." Robert yells out defensively while blushing.

Hehehe whatever you say Robert and while you're there tell your girlfriend I said Hi."

Micheal says walking away.

"Yuri isn't my girlfriend, we're just friends. How many times do I half tell you."

Robert yells.

"Umm, so where is the Medical bay?

Matthew asks.

"Oh Ummm, follow me and you better not try and hit on Yuri little boy."

Robert says threatening Matthew.

"Relax Robert I'm not going to hit on yuri and besides I have made an oath to myself that I can't have a girlfriend until after college." Matthew says already scared of what Robert might do to him.

"Good now follow me, Matthew," Robert says walking towards the medical bay."

As Matthew and Robert reach the Medical bay Robert ushers Matthew inside then enters closing the door. The room itself is small with bed lined up against the right side of the room with curtains dividing the beds and to the far right is a few cabinets and a fridge and on Matthews left-right is a desk with monitors and a woman that look like she is in her early 20s with purple hair purple eyes wearing a lab coat and black glasses is looking towards Matthew then Robert before finally saying. " Robert and hello Matthew I was expecting you." she says in a shy voice.

"Hey Yuri, how is work? Robert asks.

" is ok and how about you Robert?" Yuri asks.

"It's normal but anyways would you like to go out for dinner with me after work." Robert asks

Sure Robert, where would you like to go eat?" Yuri asks Robert.

"I don't know, but I have some restaurants I want to take you to so ya wanna hear it.

"Sure."

As Matthew walks away from the 2 to explore the room even more.

"Man, I have a bad feeling about this."

I feel like a dog or a cat entering a veterinarian hospital.

Matthew thinks to himself.

Matthew is soon interrupted by Robert "ok we're having sushi tonight but anyways I brought Matthew here for you."

"it's nice to meet you Matthew."

Yuris says shyly, turning to Matthew.

"The pleasure is mine," Matthew responds.

Now I understand that you are able to pilot an I.S is that correct?

Yuri asks speaking up a bit.

"Yea."

"Great now I have been ordered to do a DNA test on you to verify that you are indeed a boy is that ok with you."

"Yea as long as it does not involve any needles."

"WELL, that's a surprise Matthew," Yuri says in a more serious and creepy tone while smiling reassuring Matthew everything's a-ok.

A click from the door is heard signifying that the door has been locked and Robert is standing in front of the door blocking the only way out of this room and then the rooms atmosphere starts to get way colder as if Matthew was put inside of a freezer or a horror movie as he stood there in the middle of the room waiting for what's to come for him.

I knew something was up, ever since I walked into the medbay and met this creepy woman and her Yandere loving boyfriend.

Matthew thinks to himself setting himself into flight or fight mode.

"Now Matthew can you please take a seat on the bed while I get my tools ready."

Yuri says in a shy but creepy voice while walking over towards the counters and rummaging through some stuff.

"O...k" Matthew replies, not sure if he should do what the creepy lady wants him to do.

Matthew makes his way towards the bed and hesitates to sit down but after a while, he sits down on the cold soft bed keeping an eye on Yuri as he sits down.

I don't like this at all, are there any exits in this room besides that door? Matthew wonders, looking around the windowless room before spotting a rather small vent that could fit a baby.

Shit no exits, what am I supposed to do now?

Matthew asks himself before being interrupted by Yuri.

"Ok Matthew for the DNA test I'm gonna half draw some of your blood from you ok." Yuri says turning Matthew with a butterfly needle in hand.

"AWWW HELL NO!" Matthew yells sprinting his way towards the door only to be tackled by Robert who was already waiting for him.

"LET ME GO ROBERT!" Matthew yells while trying to escape Robert's grasp on his waist.

"It's a good thing Micheal told us that you hate needs because if he didn't then we would of half to put the whole base on lockdown just to find you." Robert replies struggling to keep his grasp on Matthew who is wiggling himself free from Robert's grasp.

And besides why wouldn't you want to have your blood drawn by a beautiful woman like Yuri. Robert chips.

"BEAUTIFUL MORE LIKE CREEPY!" Matthew yells escaping Robert's grasp and picking himself up before running towards the door only to be grabbed by the back of his shirt collar by Robert and pulled to the ground then pulling Matthew into a tight bear hug to prevent Matthew from escaping his grasp again.

"LET ME GO!...PLEASE!..I BEG YOU.!" Matthew screams while Yuri watches still holding the butterfly needle.

"MATTHEW COME ON WERE JUST DRAWING BLOOD FROM YOU IT'S NOT LIKE WERE KILLING YOU."

"NO YOU WILL NOT TAKE BLOOD FROM ME I HATE NEEDLES AND SOMEBODY HELP ME RAPE RAPE RAPE THEY ARE RAPING ME!" Matthew screams, kicks and pleading doing everything he can to escape Robert's grasp.

"ALRIGHT THAT'S IT MATTHEW YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE BUT TO BRING IN THE BIG GUNS!" Robert yells digging into his lab coat and pulling out a wet cloth and placing it on Matthew's mouth and nose.

As Matthew breathes in the Chemicals on the rag he slowly starts to struggle less and his cries of help cease as Matthew slumps into Robert's arms and falls unconscious.

As Matthew lays unconscious Robert and Yuri sit/stand there not knowing what to do or what to say until Robert breaks the silence and says.

"Jesus christ he is a 15 year old and he is still scared of needles damm.." Robert says out of breath.

"What are we gonna tell Micheal?" Yuri Asks.

"Well, Micheal did say we could use chloroform on Matthew if needed so I'm pretty sure he will understand so yea."

"Ok and how much Chloroform did you use? Yuri asks Matthew to walk towards Matthew and inserting the Butterfly needle into Matthew's wrist drawing his blood.

"To be honest I put the whole bottle on this rag because I didn't think this stuff would actually work."

"Alright well, let's just hope he wakes up soon otherwise he is gonna spend the night here."

Yuri says taking the butterfly needle out of Matthew's wrist and putting a bandage on his wrist.

"Let's hope so otherwise we will miss our date."

Robert says Dragging Matthew towards the bed.

2 hours later.

As Matthew begins to stir and awaken he opens his eyes and sees Robert sitting right next to him and Yuri at her desk doing something work related on her computer.

"AH you're finally awake." Robert says mimicking the Skyrim intro

"Fuck you." Matthew bluntly replies, turning away from Robert and pulling the bed sheet over his head.

"Whatever Matthew, your ride is ready to take you home." Robert says leaving Matthew

Day 2 beginning of training.

Date: 3/3/2020

Time 5:00 pm right after middle school.

"Welcome back Matthew now it appears the DNA test says you are indeed a boy so that's a relief." Micheal says greeting Matthew.

Currently, Micheal and Matthew are standing at the front entrance of the hanger because Matthew just arrived.

"Well no shit I'm a boy." Matthew bluntly answers. Still angry about what happened yesterday.

"Micheal chuckles to himself because of yesterday's incident. "Watch your tongue Matthew but anyways I'd like to introduce you to your new personal I.S Instructor for the next 5 weeks, so say hi to Natasha Fairs." Micheal says stepping to the side revealing a woman in her early 20s with long blonde hair done in a ponytail and is wearing black shades which is covering her eyes and a black tank top and blue jean shorts and black combat boots.

"Is this my drill instructor? she doesn't look too happy to meet me and wait for Natasha Fairs, Commander Daniel Fairs are they related? Mathew wonders as he looks upon his instructor.

Excuse me for asking but do you happen to be related to Commander Danial Fairs? Matthew asks.

"For your information Commander Danial Fairs is my father. Natasha says sternly.

I remember Nikolas telling me to never date a commander's daughter otherwise you will get your ass served on a silver platter back to you.

Matthew thinks to himself

"Alright well, it's nice to meet you, Natasha. " Matthew says, holding his hand out.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well and you will call me Drill SGT for now on, do I make myself clear?"

Natasha says sternly.

"Yes Nata-I mean drill Sgt.".

"Now Matthew." Micheal says interrupting the 2. "Before we start your training we need you to try on your flight uniform and we also painted your I.S."

"Flight uniform? Wait, you mean that thing all I.S pilots wear? Matthew exclaims not feeling comfortable showing some skin to the opposite gender.

"Yes but do not worry because the flight uniform is not as...Revealing as the ones worn by today's pilots." Micheal says reassuringly

"Thank god that's a relief." Matthew sighs.

"Right now back to the subject umm Natasha would you like to see his uniform?"

Micheal asks.

"No thanks, I'm gonna get a glass of water." Natasha responds heading inside the hanger.

"Very well then, now Matthew lets go see your I.S and your uniform shall we." Micheal says dragging Matthew inside.

As Matthew is led into the hanger he could see that the I.S has barely changed since he last saw it.. The I.S is no longer grey but now a dark black even the wings are painted black basically everything is painted black.

"Do you like the color of the I.S? Micheal asks.

"It looks more… evil." Matthew responds

"Evil?"

Micheal glances at the I.S then responds.

"Well it's supposed to strike fear into your opponents not look evil." Micheal replies

"Oh...Well it still would of scared me if I was fighting it without an I.s and only armed with a pistol."

Matthew says.

"Right but let's get going shall we."

"Alright but where is Robert?" Matthew asks.

"Oh, Robert...Well let's just say he is having a chat with Yuri in the medical bay,.. Why would you like to visit them?" Micheal asks getting close to Matthew's face and staring right into his eyes.

"Hell no, there is no way I'm going back after what happened yesterday." Matthew responds turning away from Micheal and crossing his arms

"Hmm are you sure about that?" Micheal asks playfully in Matthew's ear.

Yea I'm sure and isn't that what a perverted loner would do." Matthew responds turning his back towards Micheal with his arms crossed.

"What I'm not a loner I'm just simply too busy to date, anybody….right now and besides I don't need anybody because who needs a girlfriend or a wife…In their life huh."

Micheal says proudly crossing his arms and looking up proudly.

"So you are lonely."

Matthew says, shattering Micheals pride.

"Yes sadly Micheal mumbles to himself." But anyways let's see your uniform shall we shall we."

Micheal says grabbing Matthew by the wrist and dragging him into the hallway.

Matthew was then shoved into a locker room with Micheal closing the door behind him.

The locker room is rather big with 6 rows of lockers facing each other and at the backside of the room are the showers for personnel to shower in.

"Alright Matthew." Micheal says walking towards a locker and opening it revealing a large box that doesn't appear to fit in the locker but was shoved inside of it by someone who hates his job and isn't paid enough for what he does like the janitor or the secretary.

"In this box grr. is hurr. your uniform." Micheal says struggling to take the box out of the locker.

"Umm need help Micheal?" Matthew asks.

"No no no I can grrr… CAN...GET...THIS...OT...OF...THE...LOCKER!" Micheal yells and with 1 final pull the box came loose from the locker causing Micheal to fall on his butt.

"See I told ya I can do it. but anyways."

Micheal says picking himself up and dusting himself off then fixing his tophat then pushing the heavy box with his leg towards Matthew.

"Open it up Matthew see what's inside." Micheal says with an embarrassed smile."

"As Matthew picks up the box and puts the box on the metal bench with ease, Matthew opens it and the first thing Matthew sees is a black gas mask with the 2 eyesockets which is shaped like a circle is colored a dark red and on top of the gas mask is a blackU.S army combat helmet both staring lifelessly at Matthew.

"Wow this looks so cool Micheal" Matthew says taking the gas mask out touching the smooth surface then placing it neatly on the bench then doing the same thing with the helmet. Matthew then pears back inside the box and takes out a white short-sleeve button-up shirt with a black tie.

"Wait Micheal why do I have a tie and a button-up shirt for my uniform? and isn't this all guna slow my performance down in the I.S since I.S pilots must wear swimsuits for the I.S to react properly?" Matthew asks.

"Well, not anymore since I Micheal the best weapons designer out there in the worlds has solved that problem so now pilots can wear anything they want when piloting the without having to worry about the I.S not responding and as for the shirt and tie…Well, it's very simple, when going into battle you got to have style in what you wear." Micheal responds.

"Well, I do like style but wont this get torn up and dirty?"

Micheal pauses and thinks to himself.

"Umm don't worry about that."

Micheal says sheepishly smiling.

Well I do like style and if it's torn I can just seow it and if it's dirty ill just wash it."

Matthew says placing the shirt and tie onto the bench.

"Yea problem solved."

Matthew pears into the box then taking out a pair of black cargo pants then putting it on the bench under the shirt and tie then as Matthew pears inside he sees a black leather trench coat folded neatly in the box and as Matthew takes it out of the box and spreads it open the trenchcoat he can see that the trench coat is a button-up trench coat with golden buttons and engraved on each of the buttons is a star. The inner coating is silk and is colored a dark red.

"You like trench coats Matthew?"

"Hell yea." Matthew responds still in awe

"Splendid now also if you look on the left shoulder or the right shoulder, it doesn't matter what side but anyways you should see 2 emblems."

Matthew turns the trenchcoat on the left side to see the emblems Micheal is talking about and for sure enough there are 2 emblems. The 1st emblem is a black American flag with the blue square where the stars are located and the red stripes turned black leaving the white stripe the same and the stars are located on the right side of the flag. The 2nd emblem is a circular emblem that shows a black and red emblem that shows a black jaguar's face staring right back at Matthew and in its jaws is an I.S laying on its back being crushed to death by the jaguar and 3 words forming a circle around the jaguars head that reads Sneek, Strike, Destroy and right under the jaguars head reads The Annihilator written in red.

"You like it Matthew I sewed those 4 emblems on myself and that emblem I designed it myself.." Micheal says proudly.

"Its looks...cool." Matthew replies touching the emblem.

Yup thank me for the trench coat but there is more to see in that box so check it out.

"Huh oh um right." Matthew replies, laying the trench coat on the bench before returning to the box to see what's left.

As Matthew pears inside the trench coat he takes out a pair of black German Jackboots wich Matthew places on the ground and the final 3 objects in the box are a pair of soft and long pair of black gloves and a pair of leather gloves and another black coat with the same design as the trench coat, Leather best this is like my early birthday present. Matthew thinks to himself.

"Thanks for the stuff, Micheal."

"Your welcome Matthew, now can you try on the uniform so I can verify that it fits you?" Micheal asks.

"Alright," Matthew replies, taking his blue jacket off then his white shirt and Matthew is about to take his black jeans off but can't handle Micheal who is staring at him with a smile.

"Micheal stop looking at me like a goddamn pervert." Matthew says aggressively.

" Huh my bad." Micheal replies turning his back towards Matthew as Matthew changes into the pilot uniform.

A few minutes later Matthew is in his I.S uniform with 2 exceptions being that he doesn't have the helmet on and the gas mask on.

"Ok so how do I put this gas mask on?" Matthew asks fiddling with the gas mask. The mask itself has some small computer stuff and a small red light on each eye facing into the eye sockets and the computer stuff is covered by see-through plastic.

"Is really simple." Micheal responds by taking the gas mask from Matthew.

"Ok first you gotta loosen the straps like so." Micheal says loosening the straps. "Then you put the gas mask on like this." Micheal then puts the gas mask on Matthew's face. "Then you tighten the straps so it isn't loose." Micheal says tightening the gas mask.

"Alright alright I got it." Matthew says adjusting the gas mask.

"And don't forget this Matthew" Micheal says putting the helmet on Matthew.

"Alright alright how do I look?" Matthew asks.

You look as if you could frighten your opponent once that gas masks eyes are glowing red and speaking of which that gas mask is like Ironman's mask but way cheaper because it comes with night vision and thermal vision and it also highlights any incoming missile and tells you what kind it is and how fast it is hell it even tells you what kind of I.S the opponent is using as usual.

"Cool does it have an artificial intelligence named Jarvus?

"Sadly no, but it is cool." Micheal responds.

"Oh...oh well but anyways how do I turn this on?" Matthew asks.

In order for the mask to work the I.S must be activated otherwise the mask doesn't work. Micheal responds.

"Aww man." Matthew responds in disappointment.

"Now does the uniform fit?"

"Yea it fits on me."

"Good, now I want you to change into these clothes for the first day of P.E since you won't be using the I.S today." Micheal responds by taking a grey shirt and blue shorts and a pair of black sneakers and socks out of the same locker and handing it to Matthew.

"Wait i'm not using the I.S today?"

"Well first you must learn to walk before you run?

"What does that even mean? I already know how to walk and run."

"It means we got to get you into shape before you can pilot an I.S and besides you want to run In hundred-degree weather in your I.S uniform which will certainly cause you to get a heatstroke since it's made to keep you warm at high altitude. Micheal responds, crossing his arms.

Alright then whatever." Matthew responds taking the trenchcoat off and putting it on a hanger that was in the same locker then hanging it in the locker.

4 minutes later

After Matthew changed into his uniform, Micheal and Matthew walked into the kitchen and got 3 bottles of cold and refreshing water 1 for Natasha and the rest for themself and walked outside where Natasha is patiently waiting.

"Alright Natash here's Matthew ready for training." Micheal says pushing Matthew toward her.

And also we got you a bottle of water." Micheal says passing Natasha the bottle of water wich she gladly accepts.

"Thanks,Now if you can excuse me I got somebody to train."

Natasha says opening the bottle of water and chugging it down.

"Welp, have a good time Matthew and make sure you stay hydrated out here. I think it's 120 degrees out here."

Micheal says walking away.

"Now Matthew DROP AND GIVE ME 20 PUSHUPS ASAP!" Natasha yells causing Matthew to jump.

"Wait right now?"

"MAKE THAT 50.

"50 wait why 50?!" Matthew exclaims.

"Want to make it 100?" Natasha yells.

"No." Matthew replies getting on the ground and doing pushups.

The next day.

"HARD HARD WORK!" Natasha Yells behind Matthew

"WHY!? WHY!? WHY!?"

"WHAT WAS THAT!?" Natasha yells behind Matthew.

"I Mean HARD HARD WORK!" Matthew yells, feeling Natashas glare on his back.

"Good Now HARD WORK WORK." Natasha says clapping her hands in a rhythm.

"HARD WORK WORK!"

Currently Natasha and Matthew are doing 1 Lap around the whole airfield and right now they only ran/ jogged half a mile and the whole airfield is 2 miles long and 4 miles in total from start to finish and back.

"HARD WORK WORK, THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY!" Natasha says

"HARD WORK WORK" Matthew replies.

"TO EARN MY PAY."

"HARD WORK WORK!"

"DO IT EVERYDAY."

"HARD WORK WORK."

Man Did I join the army?: I thought I signed up to go to school? Matthew thinks to himself already regretting his life decisions.

"HEY I SAID I GET UP BOUT A QUARTER TO THREE!"

Natasha yells still behind Matthew pulling him out of his thoughts.

"HARD WORK WORK." Matthew replies quickly.

"GOTTA EARN MY PAY."

'HARD HARD WORK."

The next day.

"What the? when did you guys set this all up." Matthew exclaims in shock at what beholds him.

Currently Matthew is looking at a new training course. It's just like the ones I see on the documentaries on bootcamp. Matthew thinks to himself.

"This was set up right after you left and before we even start using the equipment, we got to warm up so 50 pushups,situps and a plank for 5 minutes then we will run a quarter mile and back understood." Natasgha says walking up behind Matthew.

"Yes drill SGT."

Matthew responds quickly getting on the ground and doing push ups.

"Also i have good news." Natasha says sternly circling Matthew as he does his pushups.

"What's the good news?" Matthew asks.

"Next weak we will be staying indoors whare it is cold and I will be teaching you the basics of the I.S and the weapons it uses."

"Well at least it beats staying out here." Matthew replies.

"True that now what number are you at right now."

"I'm at 22 now."

"Well then hurry up we don't have all day."

"Yes Drill SGT." Matthew replies, picking up the pace.

30 minutes latter

After Matthew and Natasha got back from their run, Matthew is on the ground panting while Natasha is just looking down on him.

"COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH... GOD IF YOU ARE WATCHING OVER ME PLEASE I BEG YOU TO SOAK ME IN COLD WATER BEFORE I JOIN YOU BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID HEAT!."

Matthew yells reaching for the sun.

Natasha laughs at Matthew before thinking of a great idea. Natasha walks over towards the cooler Micheal brought out for them and takes out a cold bottle of water and opens it and walks over towards Matthew and spills the cold water on Matthews face causing him to jerk up.

"Cough cough cough…..I DIDN'T MEAN LITERALLY!." Matthew exclaims. .whipping his face.

Natasha just laughs as Matthew sits there soaked.

"But thanks anyways."

"You're welcome but are you ready for the obstacle course." Natasha asks, holding her hand out for Matthew.

"I sure am and not to brag or anything but I can do all of the stuff on that obstacle course in under 2 minutes." Matthew says, taking Natashas hand and standing up.

"Oh really?"

"Yea me and my friends do a lot of parkour."

"Well then you want to race then because I will beat your ass silly." Natasha says.

"Ok Drill SGT your on."

1 Minute and 50 seconds later.

"WOOHOO I WON WOOHOO!"

Matthew yells, throwing his hands up in the air.

"Pant pant How the hell did you do that? It usually takes a Trainee longer on their first try to finish the obstacle course." Natasha asks, catching up to Matthew.

"To be honest I don't know but you were right, this obstacle course was challenging but not too challenging for me. Matthew says still panting."

"Well then since you know how to use the obstacle course i'm gonna sit over there while you continue using the obstacle course alright."

"Alright drill SGT." Matthew says running towards the beginning of the obstacle course."

"Damm I was defeated by a kid in a military style obstacle course on his first try... how does that even happen?" Natasha asks herself.

Whatever, I'll just Have Micheal put more obstacles in this course but man this kid is adjusting to a soldier rather quickly which is scary but also impressive. He might be in his school's track club so that could answer why he is fast and he did say he does parkour with his friends so that could explain it or he is born with these gifts which is a possibility. But at least he is a representative of the United states and not any other country like China or Russia.

Natasha thinks to herself.

Day 8 weak 2 of training.

Date: 3/9/2020 Time: 5;30pm

"Alright Matthew today we are staying indoors for the rest of the weak and I will be teaching you the history of why the United States has a bad reputation with an I.S Then I will teach you all about your I.S and its weapons and how to properly reload your weapon then to load said Magazine with bullets. and how to do maintenance on your I.S with the animations Michael made." Natasha says reading off her clipboard in her hand.

"Thank god no more running, jumping, crawling and whatever in the desert sun." Matthew says taking a seat on the swivel chair and kicking his feet up on the table.

"Currently Matthew and Natasha are in the conference room where it is nice cold thanks to the Air conditioning system.

"Anyways as you know the I.S is a high tech powered exoskeleton that only women can pilot except for you for an unknown reason."

Matthew shakes his head yes acknowledging what she said.

"Now the year was 2012 and every nation at the time began work on their generation 2 I.S. France with it's Raphael-Revive and the United states with its generation 2 I.S code named Bumble bee which I piloted and represented for the U.S.A in the I.S academy.

"Wait, you represented the United States in the I.S academy?"

"Yes I did Matthew and you would expect me to be able to win every battle against another I.S right?"

"Yea."

"Well I didn't no matter how much I tried because you know why Matthew."

"Why?"

"The I.S I Piloted was outdated by the time it was introduced in 2013 and the only real fight I ever had a chance in was when I went against frances Raphael-Revive or that Japanese I.S That is still being used in the I.S academy to this day and the Match that I was able to pull of a win was when I went against the Russians 2nd generation I.S.

"Wait, how is the Americans 2nd generation I.S outdated?"

"Well the I.S is outdated because 1 its really slow. Its max speed is 400mph and could get to 590 if diving while the other IS max speed is 600 or 690 miles per hour. And 2 it's weapons well actually nevermind the weapons are pretty decent but I do half to say that the shield level I started off with before 2nd shift was shit because it only had what 1500 shield which is really bad since the other I.S's have over 2000 shield energy and for the final nail in the coffin for this I.S was back in 2013 when the 2nd mondo grosso was held in Japan and this I.S was just introduced and everybody was feeling confident that this bulshit of an I.S was guna work. Well let me tell you what happened because on the first match against the Russian 2nd gen I.S I Barely won and on the 2nd match against the Chinese 2nd generation I.S I lost because of how god damn slow and how weak the weapons were Because America decided to use Energy weapons for the first time and let me tell you the energy weapons I used on that I.S was shit and its also the reason why America switched back to projectile weapons and during 2016 when every nation starting to introduce their new 3rd generation I.S, well let's just say this I.S barley stood a chance against those gen 2s especially China's Shenlong.

"So why don't the Americans just upgrade it even more?"

"Well from what I was told is that it's a hair over budget and that congress keeps pulling funds out of the I.S causing the team to cut some edges on this I.S."

"So that's why the Americans hired Micheal."

"Right you are Matthew and thanks to him he has created a new and cheaper I.S that can put America on top of the I.S industry.

"I See"

"Now Matthew lets talk about the basics of your I.S starting with the animations Micheal made." Natasha says getting up from her seat and heading towards the computer which is hooked up to the projector."

Weak 3 of training day 15

Date: 7/20/2020 time: 5:50 AM

Learning to walk.

Matthews P.O.V

Finally today is the day I get to pilot my I.S. Matthew says to himself as he changes into his I.S uniform.

First thing I want to do once I enter I.S is try to fly like Iron man, he makes flying in his suit look easy so why can't I fly this I.S like him it can't be that hard. Matthew thinks to himself as he puts his mask and helmet on then closing his lockers door and walking out of the locker room.

Outside on the airfield.

"Alright Matthew, do you remember what I said about your I.S last friday?"

"That it be easy to pilot."

"NO I didn't say that, what I said is that it will be very hard to fly it and it will take time to learn to fly It you dummy.

"Oh sorry drill sgt." Matthew says bowing.

"Alright but anyways Doctor Thompson would you like to present Matthew with the I.S."

"No need to call me doctor but here is your I.S Matthew." Micheal says holding his hand out and opening it revealing nothing.

Matthew stares at Micheals hand then at Micheal then back before answering "Micheal there's nothing in your hand."

"Oh really then what's this behind your ear." Micheal says reaching Matthews ear then presenting Matthew a black leather watch with the inside of the watch showing red and the numbers and hands of the watch are colored red."

"Wait how did that get there." Matthew asks dumbfounded as he checks his ear. "Wait did you just." But before Matthew could finish his question Micheal pushes a finger to Matthews mouth and shushes him.

"SHH It's Magic Matthew and leave it like that but do you know what this is?" Micheal says waving the watch in Matthews face.

"Yea it's a watch?

Natasha slaps herself in the face while Micheal laughs to himself as Matthew stares dumbly at them.

"Mathew what did I say your I.S looks like in standby mode?" Natasha asks.

"Umm that it takes form as a watch…...Wait are you telling me that this watch is my I.S!" Matthew exclaims snatching the watch from Michael.

"Yes Matthew now why don't you put it on. Micheal says

"Alright Matthew says puting the watch on.

"Now Matthew the name of your I.S is called the Annihilator which is a nickname given by our great great great great grandfather John T Thompson's invention the M1921 or the Thopson as its famously known.

That's cool but how do I activate this again. Matthew asks still idolizing his I.S

Just think of activating it. Natasha replies.

Afet 30 seconds Nothing happened.

"Hey Matthew are you taking a shit or are you trying to activate your I.S." Natasha asks sarcastically.

"I'm trying to activate my I.S but it's not activating no matter how hard I think."

"Hmm this I.S has been having trouble activating with the last pilot and I havet figured out why." Micheal says.

"Try focusing and then yell activate Annihilator it always worked for me when I was activating my I.S." Natasha says

"Ill give it a try."

Matthew takes a deep breath then closes his eyes then yells "ACTIVATE ANNIHILATOR!"

As Matthew yells this he is engulfed by a bright red light then the light dissipates revealing Matthew in his I.S and his mask's eye sockets glowing a bright red as if he was the devil himself.

Holy shit it worked thanks Natasha.

"Any time now let me show you my I.S." Natasha is engulfed into a bright light and as the light dissipates it reveals Natasha in her generation 2 I.S a black and yellow I.S and a helmet with a visor covering her eyes and the wings look like bee wings from a bumble bee.

Now before you insult her I.S Matthew let me tell you that I have upgraded her I.S so now it has a fighting chance against those generation 3 I.S alright." Micheal says.

"Alright but when do we start flying?"

"Right now Matthew so follow my lead. Natasha jumps in the air and begins to hover 4 feet off the ground.

Man, hopefully I don't screw this up like that one time John was trying to help me get rid of my Japanese accent when speaking I was was english which he did eventually over time and I remember him saying "No you idiot or baka whatever you guys say its stop S-T-O-P not stop and good is G.O.O.D not good you got it!" But then again I yell at him when i'm trying to help him with math homework. "John you fuking idiot the formula for this equation is y=mx+b, MX is slope and Y is the intercept and the equation is y=-4x+4, Figure it out idiot." Wait was it me who started yelling at him for being brain dead in math or was it him? I don't know but that doesn't matter because we both hate school equally.

Matthew jumps in the air and instead of hovering 4 feet off the ground he instead launches in the air causing Micheal to fall onto his ass.

"Shit I knew this would happen." Natasha says watching Matthew as he flies straight up breaking the sound barrier causing Micheal and Natasha to jump cover their ears

"Wait, that thing broke the sound barrier already?!" Natasha exclaims.

"Yup andI think you better go get him before he ends up in space." Micheal responds unfazed.

"No shit." Natasha replies flying after Matthew.

Matthews P.O.V

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!...FUCK YEA IM FUCKING FLYING HOLEY FUCKING SHIT! NO WONDER WHY MY BROTHER JOINED THE AIR FORCE!"

Matthew yells.

As Matthew continues flying a square on the left hand side of his vision appears indicating his speed,altitude,and the I.S shield energy. "Holy shit i'm going 797 miles per hour and my altitude is at 9.756 feet!? Holy shit I better stop before I end up in space." Matthew says to himself as he comes to a stop at 10.000 ft. "Wow this view is beautiful and wow Area 51 looks like a playset from up here and the wind is so cold but at least I'm wearing warm clothes and is that Natasha flying towards me? Matthew asks himself as he is currently looking at a small yellow dot flying towards him.

"Jesus that I.S is fast Matthew." Natasha says as she stops in front of matthew.

"I know the right drill SGT but check out the view up here it's beautiful." Matthew replies checking out the view.

Natasha takes in the view before responding "It is beautiful."

"This your first time flying Matthew?"

"No drill SGT this is my 4th time flying but if you ment in an I.S then yes and if you're wondering what my fist flight was then it was from Toyama Japan to Los Angeles then from there to Las vegas back in 2016."

"That's right, the report said you moved from Japan to American but what brought you guys here to the states and you dont half to call me drill SGT anymore."

Really...ok but it's a long story but ill shorten it down for you so In the summer of 2016 Me and my friend were kidnaped and I'm not sure why I was kidnaped in the first place but "back to the story. After 2 days in some basement my brother and my friend's older sister saved us and after that event we moved to America because of that incident and because of my mom's job in the military."

"I see i'm sorry that happened to you but I have 1 more question I want to verify."

"And that is?"

"Do you happen to be related to Captain Nikolas Yamamoto of squadron 2 in the 57th wing of the U.S Air force?"

"Yup thats my brother."

"Damn I didn't even know he had a brother"

"Yea dont worry about it, he doesn't mention us for reason and I think it's a good reason he doesn't mention us in my opinion."

"Your brother is a hero for what he has done and it's thanks to him that i'm still alive."

"Really?"

"Yea I was in the 102nd infantry scaling up the beaches and mountains in the battle of the Ama islands and while the company and I were taking out a Chinese bunker located on a mountain a J-20 a chinese all weather stealth fighter was coming right at us and it was so close to dropping its bombs but your brothers F-35 swooped in and shot down that chinese jet down saving our asses.

"How do you know that it was my brother though?"

"Easy because on the nose it has a painting of the Grim Reaper shooting down planes with a minigun."

"Fair enough but may I ask what It was like at the battle of the Ama Islands?"

"Well the kept on pushing and everyday is just another day alive and hoping we survive until the next day and when you make a friend he or she dies the next day."

"Oh Im sorry for asking."

"Don't be because it was you who got me out of hell to train you."

"Heh you should be thankful"

"Yea I'm thankful I got out of my foxhole to train you."

"Yea."

"You know this war wouldn't of happened if nobody assassinated Kim Jung un to begin with because I when I was watching the news back in 2017 a few days before the war started, somebody assassinated Kim Jung un and the North Korean government blamed the South and the Americans for the assasination even though both countries denied ever doing it and guess what north korea does, they invade the south with the help of the Chinese why I don't know maybe to gain territory in the middle east but there's 1 thing for certain if this war would of never happened then everything would of stayed the same." Matthew says

"Nobody wanted this war and even I and your brother ever wanted this war and whoever assassinated Kim Jung UN is going to pay and in a few months Pyongyang and then Beijing will be in American hands and the war will be over and everybody will be sent home."

"Not everybody." Matthew says quietly.

"I'm sorry I said that." Natasha says in a gentle voice.

"Dont be it was I who started talking about the war so its my fault the conversation led to this so I should be sorry."

"Matthew It's not your fault he's gone and I've seen this war take and ruin lives and it happened to take my best friend's life a few months back so don't blame yourself because there is one thing I learned in the Army is that war never changes."

"Is that a Fallout 4 refrence."

"Yes but it's true now let's get back to training you, now I want you to perform a power dive."

"A power dive you mean when I dive full thrust down a 30 degree angle then pull up like a dive bomber."

"Yes, now follow me."

"Natasha tilts to her side and begins to dive down leaving Matthew behind."

"Welp here goes nothing."

Micheals P.O.V

"Oooo looks like Matthew is performing a power dive." Micheal says staring at Matthew as he dives through a pair of binoculars.

A few seconds later Matthew is coming in hot and looks as if he is going to crash into the ground but he pulls up and stops and gently lands onto the ground with Natasha following suit.

"I DID IT I DID IT DID YOU SEE THAT WHOOO!" Matthew yells.

"Yea good job Matthew, now let's go and do more maneuvers and acrobatics shall we."

Day 16 date 3/16/2020 time 9:00AM

"Ok Matthew today we will be using your lightsaber so activate your I.S."

"Hell yea I can finally become a Jedi or a Sith lord and I don't even care as long as I get to use my lightsaber and that's all I want to use right now."

"All right all right I get it now Micheal told me that you did kendo back in Japan am I correct?"

"Yea I did Kendo and Aikido back In Japan until I moved here where my grandfather taught me how to fire a M1911 and a M1 Grand."

"Then I expect you to not have trouble with your sniper rifle and your lightsaber then."

"Alright alright but how do I Materialize it in my hand?"

"Just think of it materializing it in your hand."

A lightsaber materializes in Matthew's hand, surprising himself.

"Wow that was easy and I'm guessing this lever switches it on right nope it dident do anything."

"Matthew Just."

"Wow it activated." Matthew says cutting Natasha Lightsabers color is red and as Matthew stares in awe at his lightsaber, He thinks to himself Holey shit Im holding a real fucking lightsaber and it isint just one of those lame laser swords that cant cut through metal its a real lightsaber that cuts through metal with ease and since its red dose thate make me a sith lord? Hmmmm na who cares it's a lightsaber.

"HEADS UP AND CUT THIS!" Natasha yells, throwing a large rock at Matthew who cuts the rock in half instantly. This continues on for a few minutes mith Natasha throwing rocks at Matthew and Matthew cutting it with ease before Natasha activates her I.S and Materializes an extremely large M4 carbine and unloads a whole magazine into Matthew's stomach causing Matthew to fall over and scream.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH"

I've been shot and i'm going to die holey shit and the pain….The pain….? Wait a minute. Matthew checks himself for blood or a bullethole only to find nothing wrong with himself and realizes that he has a shield and is making a fool out of himself.

"You idiot your I.S shield protected you from my bullet."

"I realize that but why did you do that?" Matthew asks, picking himself up.

"No reason but anyways I'm gonna have you go against 5 training drones which will be shooting lasers at you but before we start what is your shield level currently at?"

"My shield is 2330 out of 4600 wait what?... There is no way your rifle did that much damage to my I.S right?"

"Your right Matthew because as you have your lightsaber activated it uses your shield energy as the main power source so keep an eye on your shield energy ok."

"Alright."

"Also you will only have 10 minutes to use your lightsaber if your shield is fully charged so make every second count."

"Only 10 minutes?"

"Yes it's more than enough time for you to destroy the enemy."

"But what if there is more than 1 enemy and the battle has been going on longer than 10 minutes?"

"Well that's your problem now watch as I destroy these training drones." Natasha says to Matthew, turning towards the hanger with her trusty M4 carbine in her hand.

"ALRIGHT MICHAEL SEND THE DRONES IN!" Natasha yells.

"You got it." Micheal says in the coms.

The hanger doors slowly open revealing 5 combat drones armed to the teath with rocket launchers, miniguns and lasers and are heading straight towards Natasha firing everything they have at Natasha . Natasha charges straight into the air while firing her M4 carbine at the 8 missile destroying all 8 then aims her rifle at the drones and fires destroying 3 drones leaving holes in them whilst dodging the gunfire and missiles. Natasha then quickly reloads her Rifle and fires at the remaining drones destroying them in the process without getting hit.

"Matthew stares in awe of what he saw while Natasha softly lands back on the ground blowing the some away from the barrel of her rifle."

"Holy shit that was so fast it's just like the cowboys and their pistols back in the wild west." Matthew exclaims.

"That was a cakewalk compared to a real fight but you'll get the hang of it."

"I hope I do."

"And one more thing before I let you face those drones now do you see this switch on the side of your lightsaber?"

Matthew looks at his lightsaber to find a small switch on his lightsaber which is above the on and off button."

"Yea what about it?"

"If you switch it on it absorbs incoming lasers and the enemies laser sword and uses that energy to recharge your I.S's shield during battle."

"Really?"

"Yea now are you ready."

"Yea send them in."

"Alright Micheal send them in."

"Alright here they come."

Then out of the same hanger are 5 of the same drones come rushing towards Matthew opening fire as they charge. Matthew leaps into the air and charges towards the drones with a battle cry destroying 1 missile with his lightsaber while the other 5 missile hit matthew covering him in smoke but he charges out of the smoke still yelling and slices the first drone in half while blocking some laser shots from the other drones then makes his way towards the 4th drone and splits that one in half then the next drone and the next until finally cutting the last drone in half as it falls to the ground catching fire as it hits the ground.

"How did I do?" Matthew says turning towards Natasha."

"You need more practice now, do you have any questions?"

"You bet I do."

"And that is?"

"Yea when my Lightsaber absorbed the laser it barely did anything to raise my shield so why is that?"

"From what Micheal briefed me is that the laser is absorbed quickly by the lightsaber and is quickly used for energy."

"Oh so if the opponent was using a laser sword and the opponent and I hit our swords together and held it there then the lightsaber would drain their shield energy and add it to mine like a phone charger."

"Yes, except this time it's more dangerous and also if you switch the switch off then you will be able to deflect lasers back towards the enemy."

"Cool."

"Now I know I am rushing basic training but we are running out of time so I want you to deactivate your I.S and follow me because we are going to gas chamber to show you the effects of chemical warfare and how to protect yourself from it.

"This should be fun then ."

Matthew nervously chuckles to himself not looking forward to this.

10 minutes later

"COUGH COUGH COUGH HACK COUGH COUGH"

"HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING!"

"3 COUGH COUGH"

"HOW OLD ARE YOU."

"PLEASE! COUGH COUGH COUGH JUST LET ME OUT!" Matthew pleads falling to the ground

"Alright get the hell out of here."

Immediately as Natasha says that Matthew races out of the gas chamber bursting through the doors throwing his gas mask and helmet to the side and falling to the ground coughing mechanically.

COUGH COUGH COUGH HACH COUGH COUGH HACK SPIT.

"COUGH oh god on a scale of 1 to 10 that sucked. Cough cough"

"Matthew GET THE HELL UP AND FLAP YOUR ARMS!" Natasha yells from the doorway.

"Matthew gets up and flaps his arms."

"Quack Quack," somebody says from behind Matthew.

"QUACK QUACK!" This time right in Matthew's right ear."

Matthew jerks around revealing nonother than Micheal flapping his arms pretending to be a duck.

"Micheal cough what are you doing cough cough."

"What does it look like i'm pretending to be a duck to make you feel better quack quack."

Micheal cough cough I'm not 6 years old anymore so stop mocking me "

"Fine mr grumpy pants but anyways how was the gas chamber? Micheal asks with a fake smile.

Matthew just glares at Micheal before responding "What do you think ashole."

"That it really sucked." Micheal responds dumbly.

"No shit cough cough spit."

Micheal chuckles to himself at Matthew's response before saying "Alright I think that's enough training for one day so lets go to your parents restaurant and have a good dinner and while i'm there I'll take your job for tonight so you can relax just like the old days back in Japan well before your parents had you work so what do you say?

"Sounds like a deal"

"Great now you should probably clean yourself up and change out of those clothes before you go and once you're done meet me In the break room we have here alright."

"Alright."

"Splendid now how about you Natasha care to join us and it's on me so you don't half pay."

"Why not but first I got to shower then change so ill be done in an hour."

"Splendid I'll go and finish my work while you guys do that and remember to meet me in the cafeteria ok."

"Alright then see you soon."

Natasha says walking back to the hanger.

30 minutes later.

Matthew is currently walking down the hallway on his way towards the break room and he is currently wearing blue jeans, a black short sleeve button up shirt and black sneakers.

"So this is the break room. I wonder what the room looks like?" Matthew wonders to himself as he approaches 2 metal doors and as he opens it he is surprised by what he sees. Too Matthews surprise the break room has a black leather couch that is facing a massive flat screen T.V that is hooked up to a PS4 and a Xbox one and a DVD player and on the other side of the room is another black leather couch and a massive flat screen TV and hooked up to that is a PS4 and a Xbox one and then down the room are a few cafeteria chairs and a L shaped counter facing towards the 2nd TV and behind this counter is a Kitchen.

"WOW this makes the arcade look like a joke compared to this."

"No shit Matthew." Micheal says from the couch.

"What you watching Doc?" Matthew says Impersonating Bugs Bunny.

"Well as you can see I'm watching some episodes from the Looney tunes show since I already Finished watching the first season of JOJO's Bizarre adventure and I think I need a break from watching it so that's why i'm watching the Looney tunes show on netflix."

"Alright Doc mind if I join you?"

"Actually can you ask Robert and Yuri if they want to tail along? They should be in the med bay right."

"Aww hell no" Matthew immediately replies.

"Aww come on are you still mad about what happened?"

"What do you think?"

"Ok ok how about I give you I don't know 20 dollars.

"You can do more than that Micheal"

"Ok how about 40 dollars and an extra 10 dollars if you get back here under 10 minutes.

"Deal."

"Matthew runs out of the break room towards the Med bay as fast as he could possibly go."

"Welp looks like I'm off to invite the Vampire and her lover to join me for dinner at my restaurant."

As Matthew approaches the door to the med bay he slows down and fixes himself and as he is about to place a hand on the door knob he hears a faint moan.

"What the hell?"

Matthew thinks to himself

Then Matthew hears more moaning from the door this time a little louder.

"Ok they are definitely doing and look at the time it's time for me to get the hell out of here" Matthew says to himself tiptoeing away from the door and once he thinks he is far enough away from the door he takes off."

"Ah your back here's your 50 dollars but anyways what they say."

"Mmm it's more like what they are doing. Matthew chuckles to himself. While Micheal stares at Matthew confused.

"Right but what they say, are they coming or not."

"I think she's on the verge of coming."

Matthew jokes, laughing to himself.

"What?"

"I mean no they can't come since they are quite busy right now"

"Busy how exactly? They shouldn't have work to do right now."

"I don't know but it's probably best if we don't talk to them right now."

Micheal glares at Matthew for a few seconds before realizing what Matthew is hinting to him.

"Wait are you saying?"

"Yup."

Matthew responds nodding his head.

"Well it's the circle of life after all and pretty soon you will find a girl of your own to..kiss."

"Yea not until i'm done with college Doctor."

Matthew says posing as if he won a great battle.

"Oh god you know you're just like your brother when he was in high school but way more charismatic and less serious."

"Yea well at least i didn't go for it like you and Tabane Shinonono did back in high school.."

"Who told you that?"

Micheal exclaims, turning red.

"And let me guess, she handcuffed you to the bad as well."

"Umm."

"Knew it."

"Alright you got me there But listen to me She has plans to take over the world and this war that is going on right now she started it by assassinating Kim jung un and once this war is over she will launch a full scale invasion. You got to believe me."

"Micheal I find that very hard to believe since A a lot of people wanted Kim jung un dead in the first place and i'm not just Talking about the United States of America im talking about the world and secondly where will she get the materials to make an army to take over the world and thirdly from what my brother as a kid you liked to be teased both sexually and non sexually by her when she came over to our cafe back in Japan when it was still a butler cafe and that you also loved dressing up as her."

Micheal rushes over to Matthew and covers his mouth shutting Matthew up.

Alright Alright you made your point but it doesn't stand for a fact that I barely managed to escape her lab so I could work with the United States to stop her evil plans of taking over the world."

"Hmm really or were you just tired of doing it every hour with her."

Matthew says laughing his head off whilst Micheal stands there embarrassed.

"And besides why would the world's greatest scientist want to take over the world in the first place?"

Matthew says catching his breath.

"Nevermind what I said but please promise me one thing."

"Look Matthew, promise me one thing Matthew when you go to the I.S Academy."

"Alright what is it?"

"If Tabanee asks you to lend her your I.S or she is asking questions about your I.S, Don't let her have it even if it means shooting her dead in her tracks."

Micheal says in a serious tone

"Alright you got my word."

Then all of a sudden Natasha comes through the doors wearing Black boots, blue jean shorts, and a black tank top and her hair done in a ponytail."

"ready to go?"

Natasha asks.

"Yea lets go."

Day 18 Date 3/18/2020 time 5:30 PM.

"Jesus Matthew If you were shooting John F Kenedy he would have seen the moon landings thanks to you."

"Well it's not my fault I cant shoot a goddamn thing since these targets are going 200 fucking miles per hour" Matthew bluntly replies already stressed out..

"Matthew those 6 drones are only going 280 Miles per hour right now which is slower than an I.S since an I.S in combat usually gets to speeds of 500 MPH to 680 MPH so this should be easy for you."

"Well I'm sorry that I'm not a good aim and that I can't hit shit." Matthew says reloading his sniper"

"Watch your language Matthew."

"Sorry it's just why can't we just lower the speed to 155 MPH where I can easily destroy those drones."

"Well that's because we need you to get better and this is the only way so stop complaining."

"Alright then if you think it's so easy why don't you try and shoot these drones." Matthew says Passing his sniper towards Natasha.

"Alright I'll shoot these drones and this time these drones will be going 600 MPH" Natasha says grabbing the sniper and aiming it towards the drones.

"Micheal increased the speed on the drones to go 600 MPH because I'm about to kick some ass right now" Natasha says through her com link..

"You got it."

The next thing Matthew sees is the drones going 600 MPH going back and forth then Natasha raises the sniper swiftly and BANG.. .BANG...BANG...BANG! All 6 drones crash to the ground with holes straight though it.

"What?..But how?"

Mathew asks dumbfounded

"Easy you practice even harder now this time I want you to try aiming in front of the drones path that way by the time the shell or bullet whatever you want to call it gets there when the drone is in that area alright." Natasha says handing Matthews' sniper back .

"Well what do you think i've been doing for the past hour."

"Missing every shot Now Micheal send out 5 more drones."

"You got it Natasha."

5 more drones leave the hanger and take the place of the destroid drones and repeat their previous actions of the previous drones.

"Ready Matthew?"

"Yea." Matthew replies taking aim.

"FIRE!"

BANG….BANG….. .BANG…..BANG…. …...BANG…

All the drones are on the ground with a hole straight through it and some are set on fire.

"Much better Matthe now Let's see how you do while flying then once you successfully destroy those drones I will have the drones open fire on you while you try shooting them and don't worry they will be 1 mile out so you have plenty of time to Annihilate them."

"You gotta be kidding me" Matthew replies exhaustedly.

"Sorry but we are running out of time to train you since we are sending you to the I.S Academy next sunday since the Japanese start school in early March."

"Can I at least have my 10 minute break?"

"Why not 10 minutes starting now."

"Thank you, gosh this I.S suit is really starting to bug me since this is supposed to keep me warm at high altitudes but since we are literally on the ground where it's not cold but very hot it's just gonna give me a heatstroke."

"Yea no shit now drink this before you actually do get a heatstroke."

Natasha says, passing Matthew a bottle of cold water.

"Thanks." Matthew says deactivating his I.S and taking his helmet then his mask off.

"It's so hot under that mask." Matthew says, dumping the bottle of water on his face until the bottle is empty.

"Yea here is another bottle."

"Thanks."

"You're going to half to get used to wearing that suit since it also protects you from getting chemical burns on your skin just in case some country or organization decides to use poison gas on you like mustard gas or nerve gas."

"I guess."

"Don't worry because when you are in a duel with your opponent then the wind will keep you cool since you're moving around a lot."

"I hope so."

"Yea now you better stop talking and drink your water before you end up fainting and if you want more then more in the cooler."

"OK."

Day 23 Date 3/23/2020 Time 1:00 PM.

"Now Matthew you see that ZTZ99 the Chinese tank Matthew?"

"Yea"

Well your not gonna be able to shit against it since your bullets cant pen the armor because it's literally just improve ammo of the MK 19 grenade launcher but it's perfect for destroying an I.S since an I.S only relies on its shield and once the shield is down on the enemy I.S then you win the Match and most I.S's dont have good armor remember?"

"Yea I remember."

"Good now see those cement walls out there?"

"Yea i'm guessing I can destroy those with this right?"

"Exactly now open fire on those"

"Roger that."

Matthew opens fire with his Thompson and the cement wall explodes in a thousand pieces upon getting hit, sending fragments everywhere.

"Holy shit damn I think I found my favorite weapon on this I.S of mine I think i'll call it the Spray and prey for now on since all I gotta do is spray and pray."

"Now now Matthew holding your thompson doesn't make you invincible and the only weakness this gun has is the fact you got to reload it once you expend all your ammo giving the enemy a chance to kick your ass so always conserve your remember you carry 3 drum Magazines including the one loaded in your thompson right now and the rest in your ammo box and 7 box magazines in the ammo box on your as well as 4 Magazines for your sniper and an extra magazine for your pistol."

"Alright alright I get it I got to conserve my ammo."

"Good now let's get back to shooting alright."

"Alright."

Day 27 test day Date 3/27/2020 Time 5:50PM

"Alright Matthew for your test today wich determines if you are ready or not you will be fighting Natasha in her Fully upgraded I.S along with some training drones which will be assisting her and don't expect her to go easy on you ok" Micheal says entering the locker room.

"Alright Michael," Matthew says, changing into his I.S suit.

"Also we will be filming the whole battle and then we will upload it on the internet along with the details that you can pilot an I.S so please win this battle."

"That's my plan so don't worry about it."

Matthew sasy closing his locker door and leaving the locker room and into the hangar bay.

"Fight like you are fighting for your life ok."

"Ok Micheal anything else I need to know?" Matthew says activating his I.S

"Yea Good luck out there."

"Thanks Michael."

Matthew flies out of the hangar and into the sky.

As Matthew flies towards Natasha he feels the adrenalin kick in and his eyeballs freeze up announcing he is at 10.000 feet and has only one thing in mind and that one thing in mind is to defeat Natasha.

As Matthew Approaches Natasha he stops 10 feet from her and can see that she is using her trusty M4 carbine and behind her are 4 drones armed with miniguns.

"Feeling nervous Matthew?"

Natasha says through her comlink

"No."

Matthew replies

"Good now here is what is going to happen, I'm going to try and defeat you with the help of these 4 drones so that this battle mimics the british Blue Tiers and you half defeat me at any cost using any weapon at your disposal except for your chemical weapons ok."

Natasha says through her com link.

"Alright then."

Matthew says Materializing his Thompson into his hands.

"Good and do remember that this battle is also being recorded and published on the internet so you better win."

"That's the plan."

"Good and I won't go easy on you ok."

"Good."

Matthew replies confident in himself.

"I hope this will be a cakewalk"

Matthew murmurs to himself sweating nervously.

"I hope this kid is ready."

Natasha murmurs to herself.

"Is everybody ready?"

Micheal asks through the come link.

Yea how about you?

"Well the cameras are rolling and everybody has popcorn and sodas in hand so you could say that we're all set."

Micheal replies.

"Save some for us will you."

Natasha replies sarcastically.

"Will do now on the count of 3 you may start."

"Alright."

Both Natasha and Matthew say at the same time.

"3."

"Shit what am I going to do."

Matthew thinks to himself.

"2."

Ill take out the drones first then i'll focus my attention on Natash and end the battle from there but what should I use my Lightsaber or my thompson?"

"1."

"Shit I'll just use my thompson it should easily shred those drones but the lightsaber can easily deflect"

"GO!"

Matthew is cut off and immediately is opened fire upon by Natasha and the drones and Matthew in return darts left dodging most of the bullets and fires back with his Thompson destroying 2 drones in the struggle..

Natasha flies backwards to gain distance away from Matthew while opening fire while her 2 drones fly straight towards Matthew unleashing hell upon him. Matthew stops where he is and aims his Thompson and fires it destroying both drones quickly and efficiently then he turns his attention to Natasha who just finished reloading her M4. Natasha opens fire hitting Matthew in the torso lowering his shield drastically in retaliation Matthew tries to dodge the bullets by flying up and down and left to right but to no avail but then to Matthews luck Natasha's M4 jams giving Matthew enough time to switch his thompson out for his lightsaber he then charges Natasha in hopes to destroying her M16 ending this battle but Natash seeing what Matthew is going to do she quickly switches her M4 to her own Lightsaber which is blue and blocks Matthews attack shocking Matthew in the process.

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET A LIGHTSABER?!"

Matthew exclaims retreating back and switching his lightsaber to his Thompson.

"Micheal had it installed on my I.S this morning and I got to say that this thing is fun to use."

Natasha replies, switching back to her M16 and quickly reloading it.

Whatever, I can still defeat you and Mathew sprays his Thompson on Natasha getting several direct hits on her before she darts left and opens fire with her M16 scoring direct hits on Matthew before he dodges her bullets.

I need to end this fast but how will I defeat her? Matthew thinks to himself as he dodges more and more bullets draining his shield energy even more

If I use my sniper I should be able to finish her off but im not a good shot and I cant use my lightsaber since my shield is at 1631% and if I keep using my thompson then I should be able to defeat her in a few minutes but she could defeat me in the next few minutes because she keeps LANDING DIRECT SHOTS ON ME!

Ok ok keep calm nothing gets solved if you're not calm even though im in a battle right now and i'm under fire by my own Drill SGT who happens to be a better shot than me, god what do I do.

Matthew thinks to himself while evading and firing at Natasha whenever he gets a chance and sometimes charges at her with his lightsaber only for her to take out her lightsaber and fight him off causing him to retreat.

As Matthew ponders on what to do he remembers something from WW2 aviation books he read a year ago and that he remembers reading that pilots in the 2nd world war used "The sun to blind the enemy pilot so the pilot can safely turn his plane towards the enemy pilot and shoot the enemy pilot down but will that work against another I.S?

Matthew is taken out of his thoughts when A bullet hits his head but thankfully his I.S shield protects him and to Matthew's surprise Natasha is charging right at him whilst opening fire on him.

"WHATS WRONG DIDN'T EXPECT ME TO CHARGE YOU."

Natasha yells, still opening fire.

Well looks like i'm about to find out. Matthew says to himself before turning and flying away while Natash is hot on his tail fring at him until her gun is empty then reloading it decreasing Matthews shield even more which is now at 500% out of 4600%

Matthew turns right into the sun with Natasha on his tail still opening fire but this time she is firing into the sun and not at Matthew still believing that he is flying straight into the sun. Meanwhile with Matthew as soon as he saw Natasha firing straight into the sun he abruptly stops and flies a little up to distance himself from Natash's bullets and he switches his Thompson to his sniper and he takes aim and fires 2 shots. 1 in the head and one in the torso draining Natashas shield energy to 0% ending the battle.

"THE MATCH IS OVER THE ANNIHILATOR WINS! Micheal yells through the Microphone.

"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO OUR WORK WASN'T IN VAIN GUYS AND OH EVERYBODY DINNERS ON ME! "

Cheering and clapping, party poppers and screaming is heard in the background .

"AMERICAS UNDERDOG!"

Somebody yells.

"OK guys I want you to make your way down here and get ready because in a few hours we will be having a party at your place Matthew alright and don't worry Dinner's on me."

Micheal says breathing heavily into the microphone as if he was screaming and running around the room.

"Roger that but may I have permission to do a fly by?"

Matthew asks.

"Hmm I don't know can you?"

Micheal replies.

"Hell yea I can."

"Well go ahead and make sure you are going really fast alright."

"Roger that Micheal."

"1 Sonic boom over Area 51 and 1 pist off base commander later."

Matthew enters the command room and looks towards the big screen and sees a video of his battle against Natasha and to the far right of the room is a popcorn Machine and a cooler full of soda and water and ice and then Matthew spots Micheal hunched over his computer with Natasha next to him who signals Matthew to come over here.

Matthew walks over to where Micheal and Natasha are.

"Hey you're done changing."

Micheal says taking his eyes off the screen.

"Yea, so what are you doing."

"Oh I just finished editing the video, Want to see it?"

"Sure."

"Alright."

Once Micheal hits the play button the lights in the room dim and Kenny Loggins Danger zone starts playing putting a smile on everybody's faces, then as the video shows Matthew firing his Thompson into Natasha ending the battle a text that is on fire appears and it reads. "The Annihilator Americas under dog." Then that text gets pushed out of the screen by another text which reads. "Piloted by the world's first Male I.S pilot Matthew Yamamoto." Then the screen turns black and the lights dim.

"So what do you think?"

Micheal asks.

"It's pretty good."

Matthew replies.

Natasha nods her head in agreement.

"Thanks but anyways ready to become world famous Matthew."

Micheal says typing away on the computer.

"I sure am."

Matthew replies feeling excited.

"Alright welp here goes nothing."

And just like that with a click of a button Micheal uploads the video on youtube titled "America's first male pilot."

"Now all I half to do is write up a report on how and when we found out you can pilot an I.S and then upload the report which I already typed and proofread with the video on the Air force news and once I'm done with that we all get to party."

Micheal says typing away on the computer.

"Oh also to try to save money since we are almost at our budget I want you to call Ichca to see if he will let you stay at his house next week alright."

Ichika well I only call him on holidays or when it's his birthday but alright.

Matthew replies by taking out his phone and searching through his contacts for Ichika's house phone. Ok if my calculations are correct it should be Tuesday the 24th and it should be 10:30 AM but I doubt he will be home to answer the phone but hopefully he decided to skip school for today but then again since when does he skip school.

Matthew finds Ichka's contact and calls Ichika.

Beeeep….Beeeep….Beeeep.

I don't think Ichika is home since it's unlike him skipping school unless he is sick but since when is he sick, I wonder what would happen if I spoke in english to him instead of Japanese since he doesn't understand english but I wonder would he say or think, You know what maybe he isn't home and is at school.

As Matthew is about to hang up he hears a Hello from the phone.

"ICHCA!"

"MATTHEW!"

"GUESS WHAT, I CAN PILOT AN I.S! WAIT WHAT?"

Both Matthew and Ichca say at the same time.

"Ok you go first Matthew."

Ok I can pilot an I.S and I am being sent by the United States to the I.S academy this weekend.

"Damn well this is a coincidence because it turns out I can pilot an I.S as well."

Icikca replies.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!"

Micheal runs over and grabs Matthews phone out of his hand.

"Ichika tell me when and how you found out you could pilot an I.S."

Micheal demands.

Micheal is that you?

Ichca asks

"Yea its me alright now tell me how and when you found out you could pilot an I.S"

Micheal responds.

"Well today is my entrance exams and it was being held at the city auditorium and I got lost and ended up finding a training I.S in this large room and I got curious and touched it and the next thing I know it activates and somebody sees e and now im on the news and im being sent to the I.S academy next week."

"YouknowwhatIthinkTabaneehassomethingtodowiththisbutIdon'twanttopointanyfingersyet."

Micheal mumbles to himself.

"What was that?"

Ichika asks not understanding what Micheal said since he was speaking in english and could barely hear him.

"Oh nothing but anyways would you like to know the story of how Matthew foud out that he could pilot an I.S ?"

Micheal asks switching back to Japanese.

"Sure."

"Ok it all started on february 29 2020."

10 minutes later.

"And that is how Matthew defeated Natasha Fairs and you can see the video on youtube."

Micheal says sipping his tea.

"So Matthew is the first male to pilot an I.S wow.

"Yea but anyways I had Matthew call you to see if you can let him stay over at your house until school starts for you guys."

"Yea of course Matthew can stay over at my house, when will he arrive?"

Ichika willingly replies.

"This Sunday since it's a 19 hour flight from Nevada to Japan."

"OK well see you Sunday Matthew."

"Yea see you on Sunday."

Micheal hangs up and gives Matthews phone back.

"Alright Matthew I got you a present to give you since you passed your test so follow me to my office alright."

Micheal says walking away.

"Alright what is it?'

Matthew asks following.

"It's a surprise."

Micheal replied smiling to himself.

Michaels Office

Micheal opens the door to his office and walks to his table and reaches under it taking out a wooden box and presenting it to Matthew.

"Here's your present."

Matthew takes the box from Micheal and opens it revealing a M1911 and its magazine filled with ammo.

"Wow I always wanted one of these."

Matthew says grabbing the 1911.

"Grandpa let me fire this when we moved here."

"Do you remember how to fire,reload,clean the gun?"

Micheal asks.

Of course I do, Matthew replies, loading and cocking the 1911.

"Good good and make sure you put that on safety and don't you dare cause a school shooting."

"Wha-why would I cause a school shooting?"

"Well kids your age like to shoot up schools and I only gave you this as last line of defense in case someone tries kidnaping you and for some reason your I.S isn't working for always keep your weapon holstered at all times."

"Alright."

"Speaking of holsters I got you a holster as well."

Micheal says reaching behind his desk and taking out a holster and 2 more magazines.

"Thanks."

Matthew says switching his 1911 to safety then putting it in his holster and the 2 magazines in the holster then taking off his belt to attach the holster to it before putting his belt back on with the holster on it.

"One more thing, Don't wave your gun around to people ok I don't want a phone call saying that you were showing your gun off from the I.S academy alright."

"Will do."

"Alright now let's get back to the party shall we."

The next day Saturday 3/28/2020 time 9:30 AM. Location Matthews bedroom.

"Wakey wakey Matthew."

"Hmm, it's saturday."

Matthew responds, turning his back away from whoever is disturbing him from his slumber.

"Alright then you give me no choice."

"BRRRRRRRRR!"

"AHHH what the hell… Micheal what the hell and why are you in my room."

"Matthew yells."

"Well to answer your question I'm here to pick you up but you wouldn't wake so I used your Air horn to wake you up so get ready we got to go in 1 hour."

Micheal says putting the Air horn back on the table and walking out of Matthews room.

"And by the way your friends are downstairs."

Micheal says turning abruptly.

"Tell them to get up here if they want."

Matthew says.

"Alright see you downstairs and we leave in an hour so hurry up."

Micheal replies, leaving Matthew's room.

"Shit I didn't even start packing what am I going to pack and what do I need to pack?"

Matthew says thinks to himself.

Then running is heard going up the stairs then the hallway and Matthews door is slammed open revealing 4 of his friends who are wearing the grey trench coats and grey fedoras and a black tie and a white button up shirt and a dark grey blazer and dark blue jeans..

"Matthew you better explain yourself."

John bluntly says holding up a newspaper which reads "America's first Male I.S pilot representing the United states in the I.S academy!"

"Yea and why didn't you tell us about it sooner?"

Alejandro demands.

"Yea and you know were not supposed to keep secrets from one another in the Mafia."

Al says leaning against the door and tipping his fedora.

"What are you talking about I told you guys about this a month ago and you guys just flat out laughed at me."

Matthew bluntly replies, getting up from his bed.

Matthew's 3 friends cringe remember the day Matthew told them that he can pilot an I.S before Al breaks the silence.

Nevermind that, Now what we're here to do is to help you pack up thinking that you didn't get a chance to pack up since you were up all night last night playing G mod with us and since we 3 found out this morning that you can pilot an I.S and being a good leader of the Mafia we decided to help you pack up.

Al says with his boston accent.

"Right guys?"

Al says glaring towards John and Alejandro.

"Right!"

"Both John and Alejandro say Quickly."

I remember the first day of middle school and the day I met Al John and Alejandro. I was walking around school trying to find my english class but since at the time my english was garbage and I could barely recite my ABC's f and then 2 guys ganged up on me and started to throw all my books out of my bag for no reason but then but to my surprise Al John and Alejandro came to my rescue and beat those Asholes up and ever since then i've been hanging with these ever since.

Matthew recalls.

And thanks to them I improved my english to the point I no longer have a japanese accent like John did with his British accent.

Matthew is taken out of his thoughts when a grey trench coat is thrown into his face

Wear this, this , this , and this. John says, throwing a pair of blue jeans, a white button up shirt, a black tie tie and a dark grey blazer, and a grey fedora onto Matthew.

"You know I can dress myself right guys."

Matthew says annoyed.

"Yeah well your flight leaves in an hour and you packed or dressed up so get moving and we'll handle the packing so you got nothing to worry about right guys?"

Al says, ushuring Matthew out of his bed and out of his room.

"Yea what can possibly go wrong."

John says with a reassuring smile.

You see Matthew and besides were your friends and were trying to help you by not only getting you ready in under an hour but we are also trying to get you ready for the girls.

"Girls?" Matthew questions cocking an eyebrow.

"Yes girls because you are going to an all girls school and it happens that you and that other kid are going to that school and sooner or later cupid's arrow is going to hit you."

Al says leaning against the wall and tipping his fedora while Alejandro whistles and takes a pillow from the bed and gives it a big kiss whilst making kissing effects.

"But I wanna focus more on school then maybe get a girlfriend in college and besides most relationships don't last in highschool than college."

Matthew states

"But how do you know."

Al replies.

"Well your ex did leave you 2 months latter after school started."

Matthew replies getting all cocky.

"Are you kidding me I left her because she was cheating on me with anouther guy who is fucking senior and she's a freshmen… just like me and it's wrong for freshmen to date seniors or juniors and she had to stab me in the back and date that BASTARD!

Al rants pacing up and down Matthew's room ranting along.

"I mean just why would she cheat on me? Is it because he has a car and I don't and I should have known she would do this to me ever since 8th grade."

"Alright can you stop talking about her for once Al like nobody wants to hear you rant on about her for the 8th fucking time."

John says glaring towards Al while Alejandro and Matthew nod in agreement.

Fair but anyways Matthew go get changed in your restroom whilst I tell you what to expect and to do in high school.

Al says ushering Matthew out of his own bedroom and into the hallway and into the restroom closing the door whilst Matthew locks it from the inside.

A few minutes latter

"And I think that's all you need to know about high school."

Al says walking into Matthews bedroom with Matthew following.

"Ah your back, we just finished packing your luggage.''

Alejandro says smiling as if he is about to laugh.

"Yea you have everything you will need to survive in an all girls school."

John chirps choking on himself with a bright red face.

"OK well I wanna see what you packed."

Matthew says walking toward his bed where his luggage lays and unzips it revealing Clothes and other utensils like an air horn All neatly packed.

"Oh well you guys did forget my toothbrush and paste but I can do that myself."

Matthew says closing and zipping his luggage shut.

"What were you expecting? A bomb or a can of snakes."

Alejandro says sarcastically.

"Yea but anyways meet me downstairs, I'll arrive shortly."

"Alright then let's go guys."

Al says walking out with Alejandro and John following.

Once Matthew is left in his room by himself he walks over towards his desk and reaches behind it taking out his 1911 and holster and puts it on and stairs into the mirror and draws it. "NCIS dont move."

Matthew whispers to himself before holstering his pistol. He then looks towards a picture of Nikolas in dress blues and salutes the photo before reaching for it and wrapping it with newspaper from the drawer then putting it in the luggage then doing the same to a photo of his family at the statue of liberty then walks out of his room and back in his room several minutes later with his toothbrush and paste in a bag in one hand and in the other body soap and shampoo and puts both bags neatly in the luggage. He then takes his laptop and laptops charger and shoves it into his computer making sure it's cushioned before closing and zipping his luggage shut leaving 30 minutes to spare.

"What else should I bring?"

Matthew ponders himself."

I know I'll bring my Thompson with me.

Matthew says to himself reaching into his closet taking out a violin case which he opens revealing a Realistic looking airsoft Thompson then closing it and placing the case onto his luggage.

Oh yea I need my satchel to carry all my books.

Matthew reaches for his satchel,A brown leather satchel and takes out all the books and closes it and puts it on. He then leaves his room and goes downstairs to meet with everybody else.

2 hours later.

"Holy shit I'm going back to Japan in that C 17 with the 82nd airborne."

Matthew exclaims awwing at the huge plane.

Yup but not only that you will be escorted by fighter jets along the way and oh I want you to meet Major Rensin of E company

Micheal says stepping out of the way for a very Muscular afircan american that has a scar across his face,

It's a pleasure to meet you sir.

Matthew says, holding out his hand.

It's a pleasure to meet you too kid.

Sgt Rensin says, shaking Matthews hand.

"So you're America's first male pilot."

"I sure am sir."

"Matthew replies."

"It's a good thing you're representing our country since our country has a bad reputation for an I.S."

Major Rensin says.

"But anyways Me and my company will be escorting you to Toyama Japan."

"Alright sir."

"Now if you would follow me I'll introduce you to the whole company as well as showing you to your designated seat."

Moses says walking towards the plane with Matthew following.

"Call me when you get to Japan!"

Micheal yells.

"Will do Chief!"

Matthew yells back.

As Matthew enters the cargo bay doors he sees 4 rows of paratroopers, some in their 30s and some in their early and late 20s and some look like 16 year olds to 19 year olds. Some of them have face camo on their face and some don't and some are armed with M4 carbines and some are armed with the SAW.

"This way Matthew Major Rensin says, going through the left row and leading him towards a sidewall seat.

Matthew takes a seat and places his bags in front of himself and then straps in.

"If you need anything ask one of these men or me kid."

Major Rensin says leaving Matthew and heading up the second deck and into the cockpit.

So this is what it's like sitting in a C17 with a bunch of soldiers heading to war in a forign land.

Matthew thinks to himself.

"Hey kid" the paratrooper to Matthews right says

"Huh me"

"Yea whats your name?"

"The names Matthew Yamamoto."

"And you're America's first male I.S pilot."

"It appears so and what's your name sir."

Matthew says trying to be as formal as he could be.

The man chuckles to himself before responding.

"The names Danial Robertson and this is my friend Jackson Martinez."

"Roberts says signaling to the guy on his right who waves at Matthew."

"It's nice to meet you Mr Robertson and Mr Martinez."

Matthew says shaking their hands.

"So Matthew how old are you?"

"Jackson asks."

"Im 15 sir and you guys."

"Im 16 .''

"Jackson replies, shocking Matthew."

"16 your so young!"

Matthew exclaims.

"Well you're 15 so im older than you but yea I am young for this war."

Jackson replies.

"So why did you Join Jackson?"

Matthew asks.

"I joined to find my older brother because last year he went missing in action after he and his company were attacked in the battle of Daejeon last year."

"Jackson replies."

"I'm sorry to hear that Jackson and I hope you find him."

Matthew replies.

"And what about you Danial, how old are you and why did you Join?"

"Im 18 and I joined up to keep my family tradition up."

Danial replies.

"I see."

"So tell us Matthew your story of you discovering that you can pilot an I.S ."

"Danial asks."

"Yea tell us and do you think you can sign this for me?"

Jackson asks, handing Matthew a Dollar bill and a sharpie.

But before Matthew could respond he was interrupted by Major Rensin."

"ATTENTION!"

All the paratroopers stopped talking and looked towards Major Resin fast.

"Our new Mission is to escort Matthew Yamamoto, America's underdog and first male I.S pilot to Toyama Japan where he will represent the United states of America then we will be dropped behind Chinese and North korean lines with the goal of sabotage and to help our boys get closer to Seoul and then Pyongyang understood."

"YES SIR!"

"The paratroopers respond."

"Good now everybody buckle up because we're taking off right now."

Major Rensin heads back into the cockpit and the back doors of the plane begin to close and the plane's engine roars to life as it is activated then Major Rensin comes out of the cockpit and climbs down the small metal stairs and takes a seat on the right side of the plane. Then a Pilot comes out of the cockpit and looks over everybody before heading back in the cockpit closing the door behind him then several minutes later the plane begins to move and seconds later it's off the runway and into the sky."

"So anyways Matthew tells us your storey of how you became an I.S pilot."

"Danial asks."

"Yea and sign this please."

Jackson says handing Matthew a dollar to write on and a sharpie to write with then other paratroopers get the idea and start taking out a dollar and passing it to Matthew.

1 hour later after Matthew signed his name on the Paratroopers money and finished telling his story to the whole company.

"So Matthew do you have a girl?"

Danail asks.

"Excuse me."

Matthew responds, surprised by what Danial asked him.

A girlfriend.

"No I don't Sir."

"What why not, you the type of guy that any girl would fall for."

Danail jokingly says.

"Well actually I'm not interested into romance right now since I want to focus more on my grades so I can get a good grade to go to college but before I go to college I want to join up and fight in this war just like my brother did and fight and once the war ends and I survive it I want to get a girlfriend and have a family and live the rest of my days as a happy father."

Matthew replies.

"Wait, are you related to Captain Nikolas Yamamot of squadron 2 of the 57th wing?"

Danail asks, a little surprised.

"The Grim reaper is my brother."

Matthew says tipping his fedora.

"Damn I heard Captain Yamamoto got that Nickname Grim reaper because he stalks his enemy then dives and light him up with either his minigun or missile and during the battle of Japan he shot down 11 enemy aircraft and 2 bombers in just 1 day duing the battle of Japan."

"Danial says."

"Don't forget that he and his squad were awarded the medal of honor for shooting down Chinese bombers that were on their way to carpet bomb Tokyo with the help of what's left of the JASDF."

"Jackson perks."

"Yea he's a hero all right."

Matthew says quietly, dropping his head.

"Oh shit I'm sorry I brought him up kid."

Danial says placing a hand on Matthew's shoulder.

"It's ok you don't need to apologize."

Matthew says looking down still.

A few minutes pass with awkward silence before Danial asks Matthew another question.

"Sooo Matthew what would your dream girlfriend look like?"

"What?"

Matthew replies,turning red..

Danial chuckles to himself before answering.

I said what does your dream girlfriend look like?

Matthew stays quiet for a few seconds thinking to himself before answering.

"Well she will be cute."

Matthew says turning a darker shade of red.

"Anything else."

Danial says Interrogating Matthew.

"Well she will have light blue hair and red eyes."

Matthew says embarrassed.

Daniel nods his head in approval.

"Not bad Matthew."

Danial says.

"What about you, what does your dream girl look like?"

Matthew demands wanting to get payback.

"My dream girl?"

Danaial replied, staring off into space.

"Yea what does your dream girl look like?"

Matthew demands.

"I've already married her."

Danial replies, reaching into his pocket taking out his wallet and opening it showing a picture of a beautiful girl with a sexy smile, green emerald eyes, black hair and is wearing a white wedding dress and she is standing on a bridge which is overlooking a lake.

"Her name is Sophie and we got married 4 months ago."

"Danial says."

"She's beautiful."

"Matthew says awing at the picture."

"Thanks."

Danial replies, closing his wallet and placing it back in his wallet.

"How about you Jackson? What does your dream girl look like?"

Matthew asks.

"Me wheel I hate to say it but I don't have a dream girl but you Matthew you can become a player or a playboy in the I.S academy and get all those girls to yourself if you know what I mean."

This causes Matthews' face to turn red..

"Shh-Shut up!"

Matthew stamers.

Both Jackson and Danial laugh at his response.

"But speaking of the I.S academy and off subject of the girls but did you hear that the I.S academy is going straight to hell right now because of this war?"

Jackson says changing the subject.

"What do you mean by that?"

Matthew says cocking and eyebrows.

"Well do you know that The students of the I.S academy are from around the world right."

"Yea I know that but what about it?"

"Ok so ever since this war started the schools Racism rose from 1% to 80% between the American kids and Chinese kids then th korean kids and so on."

"And ever since China bombed Tokyo severely back in late 2018 The teachers lost control over their students because the students are now physically fighting each other and it's basically out of control there and i've been told this by my older sister who is a Junior and she reports on every fight that happens in the academy since she is in the Newspaper club."

"So it's a war zone there then?"

"Well almost."

"Damn...So what are the teachers doing to stop this?"

"Oh yea since it was that bad last year The government of Japan sent the security of the I.S Academy Riot gear to break apart Mass fights which is very effective and there hasn't been another fight that I know of in the I.S academy ever since November last year."

"Damm I guess I should always watch my back."

"Yup and just make sure you don't make eye contact with the girls that want to start a fight."

"Ok then."

A few minutes pass with awkward silence."

"So do you guys play Super smash bros ultimate?

Matthew says taking out his Nintendo switch from his pocket."

"Hell yea I do."

Jackson perks.

"Yea you know I play that game, hand it over I want a duel."

Danial says.

"Alright duel accepted but what's your favorite character? Mine is Meta Knight."

"My favorite character is Snake."

Danial replies.

"My own is Dark Samus."

Jackson replies.

"Alright well prepared to get your asses kicked."

Matthew says giving them both a controller.

19 hours latter

"Matthew...Matthew wake up."

Somebody whispers, shaking Matthew.

Matthew groggy looks up to see who woke him from his slumber and finds Major Rensin standing in front of him.

"Sorry for waking you but we're here in good old Japan and we are preparing to land so you better get ready and say your goodbyes to your friends while you still can kid."

Matthew nods his head and asks what time it is.

"It's 10:54pm kid."

Major Rensin replies looking at his watch before heading back to his seat.

"It looks like it's time to part ways Matthew"

Danial says

"It appears so."

"It was good to meet you Matthew."

Jackson adds.

"Yea it was great to meet you guys and I hope i get to see you guys again in the feature."

"Yea me too."

Jackson replies

"You know after this war is over us 3 should get a beer or something together and head to the beach and who knows you 2 might find your dream girl."

Danial adds, causing both Matthew and Jackson to blush.

"That's if Matthew doesn't get eaten up by the girls in the I.S academy first."

Danial says jokingly causing some of the paratroopers and Danial to laugh while Matthew blushes even more.

Then the plane jolts as it touches down on the runway then the brakes are activated causing Matthew to lean over on a paratroopers arm. As soon as the plane slowed down it is taxied onto a hanger to drop off Matthew and to refuel.

"Welp goodbye Matthew and do our nation good."

Danial says saluting matthew.

"Yea and make sure you don't lose your virginity."

Jackson adds, causing Matthew to blush whilst some of the paratroopers laugh at Jackson's joke.

"Yea ill be sure to do that Jackson Matthew says standing up and collecting his bags and heading to the now open back door where Major Rensin is awaiting.

"Ready kid?"

Major Rensin asks, grabbing Matthews luggage.

"Hold on."

Matthew turns towards the Paratroopers and salutes which Matthew gets saluted back by all of them before picking up his bags and walking down the ramp with Major Rensin to a black S.U.V and standing in front of the S.U.V are 2 men dressed in black.

Im being escorted by the men in black sir?

"It appears so kid."

The men in black appear to be in their 20 to 30s and both men are wearing the same clothes. Black tuxedo black tie and shades.

Both men in black bow and Matthew and Major Rensin bow in return.,

Hello kid my name is Eric and this is my partner Jacob and we will be escorting you to your designated destination.

The man presumably Eric says.

"Alright."

Matthew replies.

These guys are definitely the men in black.

Matthew thinks to himself.

"Here let me handle those for you."

the man presumably Jacaob says taking Matthews luggages and heading to the back of the truck and storing it there with Major Rensin doing the same thing whilst Eric opens the passenger door for Matthew and says.

"Have a set please."

Wich matthew complies.

Eric shuts the door on Matthew and heads into the driver's seat whilst his partner Jacob enters the passenger seat and Major Rensin bows and heads back into the C 17.

The S.U.V starts up and exits the airport and onto the airport. All is quiet for a solid 20 minutes.

"So did you hear that a Japanese destroyer was torpedoed along the Wajima coast yesterday?"

Jacob says.

"Really what time was it struck at?"

Matthew asks.

It was struck at 3:00 in the morning.

Jacob replies.

Damm

How many casualties?

150 casualties

"100 dead and 50 injured. "

And then today during lunch Another Japanese destroyer was sunk by a Chinese sub along the coast of Sado Island.

"Huh it must be the same submarine that sank yesterday's destroyer."

Matthew adds.

"Yea so now from what i've heard the U.S navy and Japanese navy is on the hunt for this Chinese stealth sub right now in hopes of capturing it to study it or possibly sink it."

"Damm I hope this sub retreats back to China before it's too late."

"Yea i've heard these Chinese subs are able to stay out at sea for at least 7 months so it possibly won't go back to China any time sooner.

Oh that's bad news but speaking of news can you guys turn the radio on? I want to listen to the news right now."

"Sure." Jacob says turning the Radio on."

"On tonight's breaking News Another Japanese destroyer sunk near the coast of Sado Island!, and the horrors of North Korean occupation of Seoul as 1000 women were raped and killed last night by North Korean soldiers."

"Jesus christ those North Korean fucking North koreans rapeing every woman they see hell they are allowed to go to any university they want rape any woman they want."

Jacob chirps

"It's just like WW2 with Nanking."

Matthew adds.

"No kidding."

"Eric says."

"More News from the Frontline as Japanese soldiers advance to the town of Chunhyang-myeon and the county Uljin-gun With heavy Chinese resistance and in the Middle east American troops advance into Iraq's capital city Baghdad. U.N Forces liberating Turkey's Capital city Ankara from China and finally News about the 2 Male I.S pilots?"

"Aww shit not again umm can you tune the radio to a music station please."

Matthew says annoyed.

"Sure."

Jacob changes the radio to a music station that is playing some relaxing music.

"Are you tired of being on the news?"

Eric asks.

"Yea it gets pretty annoying after awhile."

Matthew replies, yawning and placing his head against the glass.

"Ah I see, well i'm sorry to hear that."

Eric says.

"It's alright."

Matthew replies, yawning and closing his eyes.

1 hour latter

"Matthew wake up."

Somebody says shaking Matthew gently.

"Hmm?"

Matthew groans looking up to see Jacob.

"Sorry to wake you but were here at your destination."

"Matthew rubs his eyes before taking out his phone to check the time."

"11:54 pm"

Damn it's almost 12 hopefully Ichca is still up.

Matthew thinks to himself before exiting the car.

"Here's you bags Mathew."

"Thanks Jacob you have a nice night."

"You to Matthew."

Jacob says closing the S.U.V's trunk and walking towards the passenger seat.

"Have a nice night Matthew."

Eric says before driving off into the night leaving Matthew all alone in front of Ichika's house.

Matthew looks towards Ichika's house and sees through that the Living room light is still on.

Well at least I know that he is still awake.

Matthew says to himself walking towards the gate dragging his luadge against the cement in one hand and in the other his violin case.

Right, it's bien at least 4 years since I last saw him so I think I should be formal for now and as time progresses I'll be less formal to Ichika and Chiffuyu to show that I have become a respectful gentleman that my parents raised me as.

Matthew says to himself whilst straightening his fedora and tie.

I can do this and not make myself look like a fool, right brain?...Right? I think I can.

Deep breath in and no I can't do this.

Matthew says to himself hitting his head against the stone wall.

No, I can do this.

Mathew says grabbing his bags and opening the gate to allow himself in then closing it.

Damn it's so dark I can't even see my own hand in front of me Matthew says walking cautiously to where he thinks the front porch is.

The least Ichika can do is turn on the porch light.

And as soon as Matthew said that he trips and falls from a step but catches himself from landing facet first whilst his violin case lands onto the hard cement with a loud thud.

"Fuck."

Matthew whispers to himself pulling himself up.

Just then the porch light flickers on and a few seconds later the front door opens revealing a boy wearing black shorts and a light blue T shirt appears.

"Matthew is that you?"

The boy asks.

"Hey Ichica don't mind me, I was just finding my way through the dark."

Matthew says sarcastically.

"Oh Hey Matthew umm sorry about that but me grab this for you."

Ichica says, grabbing Matthew's luggage.

Thanks.

Both Matthew and Ichika enter the house and close and lock the door.

"So how was flight?"

"Well, I got to fly with the 82nd Airborne."

"82nd Airborne? I've heard about them on the news. What company were you with?"

"E company."

"Ah that's cool but isn't the 82nd Airborne famous for the D day landings back in WW2.?"

"Yup my Great great grandfather's brother was in the 82nd and he participated in those landings and my great great grandfather was a Marine and he fought in the Battle of Okinawa."

Damn they are heroes.

"Yea but anyways how was your day?"

"My day is okay, nothing out of the ordinary besides people calling me non stop for an interview and stuff like that and how about you, how is your day?"

"My day is pretty ok but right now i'm really tired and you said something about being called for an interview?"

"Yea it's usually people from a news company and stuff like that."

"Dude, like before I left America my parents restaurant's phone where customers would usually call from is literally filled with people from News companies wanting an interview from me and let me tell you all our lines were filled with more news people than customers."

"Wow and speaking of your Parents how are they and do they no longer run a butler cafe?"

"Oh my parents are doing well and we stopped running a butler cafe as soon as we got to America and opened a Sushi restaurant which has way more customers than the butler cafe."

"Cool how Aiko is doing well."

"Aiko she started doing Kendo and jesus she is a hand full especially when im in the middle of a game she would usually sneak in my room and hit me on the head with her Shini for no reason and her excuse is that she is training to become a Samurai."

"Really I thought you told me she was a shy person."

"Yea she still is but she likes to practice on me for some reason."

"I see."

"Speaking of family where is Chifuyu?"

"Chifuyu I don't know."

"What do you mean you dont know?"

Matthew says cocking an eyebrow.

"Well she comes home once a month and leaves for work and I don't even know what she even does for a living."

Ichika replies calmly.

"Jesus you don't even know what your own sister does for a living."

"Yea but anyways I got this package from the I.S academy that has our uniforms and these 2 books Ichika says leading Matthew to the living room where the box is and showing Matthew the uniform and book.

"Matthew looks at the uniform for a brief second before shoving it in his satchel and then looks at the huge book that reads "Reference manual in bold words and on the top reads in red Required reading."

Matthew takes a long stare at the book before heading towards the kitchen with Ichika following and throws the book into the trash.

"Required reading my ass I dont think its that important and besides I've been taught everything to know about an I.S"

Matthew says.

Ichica throws his book into the trash as well.

Yea it can't be that important.

"Yea and besides what's the worst that can happen to us without those books."

Matthew says yawning.

"Anyways ima hit the hay."

"Hit the hay?"

Ichica questions.

"Oh sorry it's American slang for I'm going to sleep."

"Oh ok well ima hit the hay as well since it's 12:00 in the morning.

"Yea ill see you in the morning."

"Yea I will too."

Both boys head to their rooms to hit the hay.
