It has been 2 years sense Lilly was born and Priss joined the Patriots as their manager. They have moved out of Hot Legs and have started playing like professionals. They have some songs on the radio and their first CD has about to hit the stores. Priss and Leon are having a good time now that Lilly would sleep all night they were more in love with other with each passing day.
"Hey Priss when are you gonna meet Faith for lunch today?" Leon asked as he was playing with Lilly.
"About noon. Why?" Priss asked as she was looking over some papers.
"Well she said she had something important to tell you and I want to know what it is." He said
"I'll let you know as soon as I can." Priss said. "I'm betting she wants to tell me that she and Sara finally came out of the closet." She laughed.
"You think so?" Leon laughed at her comment.
"We will have to see. What Time is it?" Priss asked.
"11:19." Leon answered.
Priss stood up and stretched.
"Ohh man this paper work is killing me." She groaned. "Well I'm gonna get going I like to show up early as you know."
"Yep I know." Leon said picking up Lilly.
Priss dressed in her leather biking out fit that she finally was able to fit in after a year and a half of exercising.
"Ok I'll see you in about 3 hours. Make sure Lilly doesn't make any thing else disappear with the silver handle. She has already made more things vanish than Harry Huddeny has." She said as she walked out.
She mounted her bike and headed to the dinner where she was to meet Faith. Priss pulled up to the dinners back parking lot and dismounted. As she was about to walk around the corner of the dinner she saw a man in black talking to Faith. She was about to walk up and say hi thinking the man was a fan till she said in an angry tone.
"Remember your orders." The man in black said. "Keep an eye on them the operation is gonna began soon don't fuck it up because of your feelings." Priss froze in her tracks and hid behind a wall to listen in.
"I know my orders Danny." Faith snapped at him.
"You look to be getting cozy with that Asaragi woman. And VERY cozy with my sister Sara and I don't like that." He said.
"What I do is my own business not yours." She hissed.
"Think of what Mr. Mason would say if he found out."
"Mason!?!? I thought he was dead." Priss whispered to herself. "What the hell is going on.?"
"If you tell him Danny so help me I'll kill you." Faith warned him. "Priss will be here in a few minutes get out of here before she gets here."
The man in black walked away and got in his car and drove off. Faith watched him till he was out of site then she walked in the dinner. Priss sat with her back against the wall.
'Something is not right' She thought as she reached for her phone and dialed.
"Hello?" A sleepy voice answered.
"Nene I need you to do something for me." Priss said.
"Priss I just got off work can't it wait?" Nene wined.
"No it cant Nene so listen up." Priss snapped. "I need you to run a background check on Faith now call me with what you find immediately." Priss said and hung up. She sat there for a few minutes then walked in to the dinner.
"Hey Priss over here." Faith said waving at her.
"Hey Faith what's up?" Priss said sounding casual.
"Not much you?" She asked.
"Same shit different day." Priss answered.
"Any way I called you here to tell you something." Faith said. Priss fidgeted uneasily in her chair.
"Its about Sara." She said. "Sara and I are…"
"Gay lovers." Priss answered for her.
"W-w-what how d-did you know?!" faith asked in shock.
"Oh please it would have been less obvious to hang a flashing neon sign the way you to act around each other." Priss laughed.
Faith turned red and shrugged.
"Well that was easy." She said. "I was up most of the night thinking of a way to tell you."
"Is that all you wanted to tell me?" Priss asked.
"Yea that's it." She said. "Well with that out of the way lets eat."
They talked about normal things, music and things. Priss was wondering who she could be so cool about what she was doing she was a spy. They were interrupted by Priss's phone ringing.
"One sec. Faith I need to take this." Priss said standing and walking out side.
"Yea what do you got Nene?" She asked.
"Well Priss something is not right." She said. "The personal background was protected by fire walls good ones to. But I managed to get past them and this is what I found. Up until about 4 years ago Faith Hemora did not exist. It's like she just popped out of thin air what the hell is going on?"
"I don't know." Priss said. "Call everyone we need to hold an emergency meeting. Something is about to happen soon I think."
"Right I'm on it." Nene said.
"Ok I'll be at Syila's in 20 minutes." Priss said and hung up.
Faith was sitting at the table finishing her meal when Priss walked back in.
"Is every thing ok?" She asked when she saw Priss.
"Yea but I need to split Leon was called in and I need to be with Lilly. I'll see you tomorrow for practice." Priss said and walked out.
Linna and Nene were just arriving at Syila's when Priss arrived. They all went down to the pit where Syila was waiting.
"What's the problem Priss?" Syila asked. Once they were all sitting.
"Its Faith." Priss said. "She is not who we think she is. I think she is a spy."
"A spy?" Syila asked.
"Yes I over heard her talking to a man dammed Danny. He was saying her orders were to keep an eye on "Them" I think he meant us." Priss said.
"So what do we do Syila?" Linna asked.
"One more thing." Priss said. "That Danny guy mentioned Mason."
"MASON!!" Linna and Nene exclaimed.
"But isn't he dead?" Linna asked.
"Mason had a son and doughtier." Syila said. "His doughtier Leila died when she was 16. 8 years ago. His son Jerry left Japan shortly after she died. However it seams he has come back.
"So do you think he is after us?" Linna asked.
"I don't know." Syila said.
"What should we do about faith?" Priss asked.
"You can get close to her right Priss?" Syila asked.
"Yes." Priss answered.
"Well I'm sure you can get her to talk Priss." Syila said.
"And after that then what?" Priss asked.
"Kill her." Syila said coldly. Priss felt the blood leave her face at the thought of killing someone she had known for 3 years. Faith was like a sister to her.
"Priss you have to do it." Syila said.
"When?" Priss asked.
"Now, suit up." Syila said.
"Ok I think I know where she is." Priss said.
"Priss do you think you should. You haven't been in your suit in over 2 years." Leon said.
"Leon I have to. Faith is my problem I'll take care of her. Take care of Lilly." She said.
Priss suited up in silence thinking about what she must do.
'Faith why I trusted you how could you do this to me. Why would you do this.' She thought.
"Priss." Syila's voice come over her head set. "I have a weapon for you it's a blade it will come out of your right arm. Use it for Faith." She said. "Priss. PRISS."
"I got it Syila." Priss snapped.
"Do it." Syila said.
Priss was launched from the roof and headed for Faith's house. She landed on the front lawn in front of her house and walked up to the door. She was about to bust it down till she heard voices one was Faiths, and the other was Sara's.
"Damn it. Syila Sara is there with her. What now?" She asked.
"You have your orders Priss if Sara gets in the way eliminate her." Syila said.
"Ok." Priss said.
Inside she heard Faith talking.
"Sara I don't know if I can go through with this. Priss is my friend." She said.
"I know how you feel I feel close to her as well" Sara said.
Priss listened for a minute then made the decision to make her move. She readied her Knuckle Bomb and hit the door. The door shattered with a defining explosion. Faith and Sara were on their feet as Priss entered the room.
"Who the hell are you!" Faith said putting up her guard ready to defend herself. Sara picked up a chair and ran at the intruder. Priss blocked the chair with her right arm. The chair shattered on contact. Priss grabbed Sara and threw her accursed the room landing on the floor.
"SARA!" Faith cried as her lover lay motionless on the floor. "You bitch." She said as she ran at Priss with her right hand cocked back ready to swing. She caught Priss accursed the face. The blow broke Faith's fist and she staggered back in pain. Priss grabbed faith by the neck and slammed her into the wall and raised her right arm with the blade fully extended and held it at Faiths thought.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Faith struggled to ask.
"I'll ask the questions." Priss said. "What are your orders?" She demanded.
"What?" Faith choked.
Priss retracted the blade and removed her helmet her eyes burning with rage. "You were ordered to keep an eye on me. By who? Talk and I might let you live." Priss said looking at the young singer.
"Priss please hear us out." Sara said getting to her feet. "Please let Faith go we'll tell you every thing."
Priss looked at Sara then Faith. Faith's lips were turning blue and Priss let her fall to the floor gasping for air.
"Now who the hell are you two?" Priss demanded.
"We are operatives of GENOM sent to infiltrate the Knight Sabers and keep an eye on them until operation Knight Loss went into effect."
Sara explained. "We set up a cover story of the Patriots. Rick and Dick do not know about our orders they were just 2 people that were looking for people to start a band."
"So what's operation Knight Loss?" Priss asked.
"GENOM is creating a Boomer that is meant to kill the Knight Sabers and their friends." Faith said getting to her feet.
"You mean to tell me that this boomer will kill all my friends and family?" Priss asked picking Faith up by her neck again.
"That is the plan." Faith said.
"Why? Why would you do this you two seem like kind people in love how could you do this?" Priss said.
"Because Priss you and the Knight Sabers killed my father that's why." Faith said trying to breath.
"We have never killed a human before." Priss said a little confused.
"Does the name Brian J. Mason ring a bell?" Faith snapped.
"Yes why?" Priss asked.
"He was my father. My name is Leila R. Mason and I want my revenge." She said.
Priss dropped Leila and staggered back and dropped to the floor.
"No." Priss said. "We didn't kill him Galatea killed him." Priss said.
"I don't believe you." Leila said getting to her feet.
Sara ran over to her lover and wrapped her arms around her thank full she was alive.
"I can prove to you it was not us." Priss said.
"How?" Leila asked.
"We keep video records of all our missions and that one was no different." Priss said.
Leila pulled a .45 handgun from her coat pocket and pointed it at Priss.
"Show me." She said.
"Its back at the Silky Doll we need to go there." Priss said.
"Well lets go." Leila said waving the gun at the door.
Priss stood up and walked to the door. Leila and Sara walked behind her. They got in Leila's car and Sara drove to the Silky Doll with Leila and Priss in the back seat. As they pulled up to the Silky Doll Priss noticed that no cars were there not even her bike. As they walked up to the door Priss stopped and punched in the password on the keypad and the doors opened. They all got in the elevator and descended to the pit that was deserted. Priss was starting to get scared for her friends that should have been there.
"This is the computer that holds all the records." Priss said.
"Well lets see your proof." Leila said pushing Priss forward.
Priss punched in the number of the mission and stepped aside so Leila could see. She saw the 3 of the Knight Sabers and saw Priss standing next to her father that was fused with the GENOM tower.
"What is that thing?" She heard Linna say.
"Something that should be put out of its misery." Priss said.
"No Priss. I know he deserves death but we can' kill a human not even one like Brian J. Mason." Syila said.
Leila watched in silence and after the record had finished playing she started to sob.
"I'm sorry Priss I misjudged you. I was wrong." She said setting the gun down and falling to the floor.
Priss turned to look at her and saw Syila and the others in their Hard Suits. They had been hiding in the background waiting for the right moment to strike but seeing what happened they had no need.
Leila reached inside her pocket and pulled out her phone and dialed. After a moment she spoke.
"Jerry Priss and the others did not kill father Galatea did." She said.
"What you knew then why are you trying to kill them I they didn't kill him." She said.
"What about the Earthquake?" She asked.
"What. Father started it but why?" She asked.
"To cover it up. He killed millions of innocent people to cover up a secret?" She asked.
"And the Knight Sabers knew so you wanted them dead to keep our name undamaged. How could you."
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that you would kill innocent people to cover up secret."
"I cant believe you Jerry if father killed millions to cover up a secret then GENOM should fall." She said.
"Yes it should and I'll see to it."
"My name is NOT Leila its Faith." She said and hung up.
Faith looked at her phone for a minute then she smashed it on the floor. She stood up and whipped a tear from her face.
"Priss I am sorry I was deceived by my father. If there is any thing I can do to help I will." She said.
"You will not be much help with your hand in the shape its in now." Priss said.
"Yea your right now that you mentioned it it hurts." Faith said.
"Lucky for you I was a medic for the GENOM Special Forces before it was disbanded." Sara said.
As Sara tended to Faiths hand Priss and Syila got to work on a plan to stop GENOM.
"Faith I need to know the specifics of operation Knight Loss." Syila said. "How much do you know?"
"Every thing I know the order the boomer will come after you and when." Faith said.
"But what's to stop them from just changing its programming?" Nene asked.
"Easy because we programmed it so its original programming can not be overridden. Once an order has been programmed in it will carry it out in the order they are received. And we programmed it 2 months ago." Faith explained.
"So who is first?" asked Nene.
"You are." Faith said.
Nene hung her head and started to sob. "That figures every one picks on me first."
"When will it strike?" Linna asked.
"In one week." Faith said. "I'm sorry Nene."
"Your SORRY. You BITCH you programmed this damn thing to kill me!" Nene screamed.
"Faith who is next?" Priss asked.
"After Nene its next target is Linna. Then Syila. Then Mackey and Nigle. Then Leon. Then." She trailed off.
"Then me." Priss said with a sigh.
"No you're last." Faith said.
"Well after them I'm the only one lef." She began then she covered her mouth in shock. "Lilly." She said.
"Yes I was against that and would not program it but Jerry did it I'm sorry." Faith said.
"Faith if Lilly is harmed in any way I'll kill you I swear it." Priss said.
"I know." Faith said.
"Can it be beaten?" Syila asked.
"I don't know we studied your moves and we programmed it to stop them." Faith said. "But if there is a chance of anyone killing it it would be the 6 of us."
"6 what are you talking about?" Priss asked.
"We got you all into this we will help in any way we can right Sara." Faith said.
"That's right we were Special Forces after all." Sara said.
"Well then lets get to work we only have a week to get prepared for this thing." Syila said. "Nigel you know what to do."
"I'm on it." He said and walked to the hanger where the hard suits were. "Mackey get moving."
"Ok lets get it done." Mackey said running after Nigle.
Faith explained to Priss and the others the detailed blueprints of the boomer as Nigle and Mackey got the suits ready and started on making 2 extras for Faith and Sara. Next she tolled them the exact time the boomer would strike.
"Ok well we all know what to do." Syila said. "So lets get some rest and we'll talk more about how we keep Nene safe."
"There is one thing I need to take care of before I can rest." Faith said.
"What?" Priss asked.
"Kill my brother." She said and walked out of the room.
(Ok I hope that came out as I hopped. Next chapter Faith infiltrats the GENOM building to face her brother stay with me till the end.
