The next 2 days passed quickly and with no problems Nigel and Mackey finished the suits leaving Priss and Sara's suits untouched and had Priss's other suit ready for remote control. Priss spent most of her time with Leon and Lilly. Faith spent her time with Sara. Syila spent her time with Nigel and Mackey when Mackey wasn't with Nene. Linna and Nene spent there time together having fun when Nene wasn't with Mackey that is.
"The way things have been going these past few days its hard to tell someone is trying to kill us." Linna said at the table while eating lunch.
"Yep but don't let your guard down for a second Linna" Syila reminded her.
"Yea I know." Linna said with a depressed sound in her voice.
They ate the rest of their lunch in silence then went about there day as they have been for the last 2 days.
4 Days later
Lilly was the only one that got any sleep that night the others had too much to think about. They ate a small breakfast of eggs and toast no one hade much of an appetite though.
"When is this thing going to strike?" Priss asked.
"6:00 pm it will find Nene." Faith answered.
"Boy is it going to be surprised to find 3 remote controlled suits." Priss said smiling.
Nene glanced at the clock to see how long they hat till it all started the clock read 8:23am.
'9 and a half hours to do.' She thought.
"Piss my contact at channel 32 will be ready." Syila said.
"Good this needs to go perfectly." Priss said. "By the way Faith what are you two going to do I'm sure GENOM is after you as well?"
"They are and they know you are all here. I am sure Goliath has 2 new targets." Faith said.
"But you said once it has been programmed it cant be changed." Linna said.
"I said you could not change the other but you can add other objectives." Faith answered.
"So all that means is I have 2 more people to kill off." Nene said sipping her coffee.
"Yep that's about it." Faith said.
"Umm I have a question." Linna said. "What are we going to do after this is over I mean we can't stay here."
"I got that covered." Syila said. "I have a friend in the immigration department in the United States She is gonna take care of all the arrangements we will have new names and jobs she even found us all houses.
"This is getting better by the minute." Priss said.
"And get this Faith she has you a gig in 3 months at a club in San Diego California. And she has some people that are willing to play guitar and drums." Syila said.
"Damn Syila you got this all figured out don't you?" Linna asked.
"For the most part Faith your new manager is named Minica Johnson she is kind of temperamental but you'll get use to her in no time." Syila said.
"Hey now I am her manager and you know it." Priss said.
"Sorry Priss." Syila said. "Faith I'd like you to meet Monica Johnson." She said waving her hand at Priss.
Faith smiled at the thought of not lousing Priss as her manager.
"Well then with that all out of the way we need to rest we bay need our strength tonight." Syila said and walked to the room where Nigel was still laying on the bed.
The others went to their rooms and tried to get some sleep but neither of them got much. Nene was in and out of sleep and she kept looking at the clock. At 4:30 pm they all meet in the living room and started to prepare for their final mission.
"Ok this is it its all or nothing I want a go no go from all of you if you are ready say go if not you have an hour to be ready." Syila said. "Priss."
"Go."
"Linna?"
"Go."
"Nene?"
"Go."
"Faith?"
"Go."
"Sara?"
"Go."
"Nigel?"
"Go."
"Mackey?"
"Go."
"Leon and Lilly?"
"Go"
"I am a go as well let's do it." Syila said. "Gear up and meet in the living room lets move like we got a purpose. Priss suit up Sara you to if Goliath finds us you will be our only line of defense."
"I got it." Sara said and followed Priss into the bedroom/dressing room.
30 minutes later they all meet in the living room Priss and Sara in their Suits.
"Ok this is it Priss you will go with the decoys to the GENOM building and wait for Goliath to reveal its self. Engage it in battle for only a minute them make a run for the TV station and wait for my signal then start the broadcast." Syila said.
"Ok I got it." Priss said and put her helmet on. Linna Syila and Nene began to pilot their Suits by remote and the mission began.
Priss and the decoys exited Faiths and headed for the GENOM building.
"Oh shit Faith I just thought of something once it is finished with the decoys it will come for us. How are we gonna make it think we are dead?" Linna asked.
"No problem when it breaks in all we need to do is keep it busy long enough for Nene to hack GENOM and tell the computer we are dead. And it will go after the next target on its list, which is Priss. Now we need to make it look as if Sara and myself were killed with the rest or this will not work." Faith said.
"Ok that sounds easy enough."
"Hey you guys we are here how long till it shows up?" Priss asked.
Any minute be on guard." Syila said looking at her watch.
As soon as Syila finished there was a rumble under Priss's feet and up from the ground came the boomer known as Goliath.
"That's it it don't look that dangerous" Priss said looking at the boomer that was only 2 times as big as an ordinary boomer.
"Don't let it fool you Priss that's it no question about it." Faith said.
"Well then lets go Nene your first." Priss said and Nene's suit jumped off the building they were on and landed right in front of the boomer placing a roundhouse kick to its right leg. The boomer wasn't even fazed by the kick and picked up Nene's suit and tossed it into an adjacent building.
"Damn it is strong." Priss said seeing Nene's suit trying to get up. "Linna your up."
"Gee thanks" Linna said and made her suit jump off the building and slashed at the boomer with her cutters. The cutters left small cut marks along the boomers face and the boomer responded with a right hook to Linna's suit sending it 50 yards down the road.
"Linna be glade you were not in that suit that looked like it would have hurt." Priss said. "Well Syila shall we?"
"Lets go." Syila said and they jumped at the boomer Syila's suit hit it with her arm blades and Priss hit it with her knuckle bomb.
The 3 decoys and Priss regrouped and went for a group attack.
"Remember we need to break open the vent on its shoulder otherwise the self destruct won't work." Faith said.
"That is gonna be hard to get to this damn thing is fast." Priss said ducking a blow from the boomer.
"Priss if you can keep it busy I think I can get to the vent." Syila said.
"I'll try just be fast as soon as we get this vent open I am heading for the news station." Priss said
Priss came in on the boomer with a right knuckle bomb then a left causing some good dents on the boomers face. The boomer turned to face Priss turning its back on Syila's suit.
"Perfect." Syila said and headed in on the boomer slamming her blades into the vent and ripping it open.
"Priss the vent is open get out of here." Syila said jumping away from the Boomer.
"Ok I'm out of here keep it busy till I get away." Priss said and disengaged from the battle and headed for the TV station.
"Ok Its just the 3 of us now so lets fight for another minute then Nene have your Suit get destroyed and self destruct." Syila said.
" Ok Syila." Nene answered. Linna's Suit let louse with another round of her cutters and Syila's continued to slash with her blades wail Nene stood in the background and waited for her time to strike.
"Nene are you ready?" Syila asked.
"Yes." Nene answered.
"Ok you know what to do." Syila said.
Nene's Suit preformed a flawless Summersault Half Moon Kick to the Boomers jaw making it steep back. As it was recovering from the kick Nene's suit attempted a roundhouse to its mid section. But the Boomer caught her Suits leg and whipped it through the air and slammed it into the ground. Using its left hand to pin her Suit to the ground it wrapped its right hand around the Suits helmet and with one mighty squeeze crushed it. The boomer stood up and turned its attention to Syila and Linna's suit but as it started towards them Nene pressed the self destruct button on her remote control and her suit exploded into a ball of flames. The blast sent the Boomer through the air and into the building it had thrown Nene into earlier.
"Ok good work Nene now start hacking into GENOM and be ready to send the data that we have all been killed." Syila said as soon as Nene's suit was destroyed.
"Ok I'm on it. Sara I'm gonna need your help." Nene said pulling a chair up to her computer.
"Ok are you ready?" Sara asked.
"Yes I am what is the program code again?" Nene asked.
"Its GENOM.Knightloss/Topsecret/JerryMason/Jun232048." Sara said looking over Nene's shoulder.
"Ok I'm in now all I need to do is find the program they are using to determine we are dead." Nene said looking at all the files she came to.
"I'm sorry I don't remember the name of the file." Sara said. "Something like table of something."
"How about table of the Knights? Nene asked clicking on a file. "Bingo we have a winner. Ok lets see now Nene Romanova, Eliminated. Linna Yamazaki, Active. Syila Stingray, Active. Nigel Kerkmen, Active. Mackey Stingray, Active. Leon McNickle, Active. Lilly Asaragi, Active. Priss Asaragi, Active. Leila Mason/Faith Hemora, Active. And Sara Ansum, Active." She said. "Well now all we need to do is wait for Goliath to come for us and I'll tell the program we are dead. I'll have to work fast to keep it from actually killing us so Syila and Linna be ready to engage it as soon as it enters the house."
"Yea we know what to do." Syila said. "Well keep it busy till you tell the program we are dead then we'll lead it out into the street along with Priss's decoy and once Linna's suit is destroyed Priss's suit will head to the TV station and wait for Goliath to come for Priss." Syila said.
"How long until Goliath gets here?" Nene asked.
"About 10 minutes our suits will be here in 8 minutes." Syila said.
"Ok then we have 6 minutes to get ready for it." Faith said maneuvering Priss's suit into position.
The minutes passed like hours and after what seemed like an eternity Syila and Linna's suits landed outside Faith's and took up their position in the house. 2 minutes later they heard the sound of an approaching Boomer and seconds later Goliath smashed through the house and into the living room where it was meet by Syila Linna and Priss's suits. And as they kept Goliath busy Nene began to work on making the computer Goliath and GENOM think the others were dead.
"Ok with every explosion I'll kill off 2 or 3 of us." Nene said. Seconds later there was an explosion caused by the Knuckle bomb on Priss's suit.
"Ok Nigel Kerkmen, Eliminated. Leon McNickle, Eliminated. And Lilly Asaragi, Eliminated." Nene said.
Another minute passed and the battle raged on. Another set of explosions from Priss's knuckle bombs gave Nene the cover she needed to eliminate 2 more names from the list.
"Leila Mason/Faith Hemora, Eliminated. Sara Ansum, Eliminated." She said working her magic. "Your last Mackey."
"Nene how's it going?" Syila asked.
"I just finished. You are clear to take the battle to the street." Nene answered.
Syila, Linna and Faith piloted the suits into the street and continued the fight from there. Linna maneuvered her suit into position for another attack with her cutters and attacked. Her cutters whipped at the boomer time and time again until Goliath caught Linna by the arm and proceeded to rip the arm off at the elbow and used the severed arm to crush Linna's Suit's helmet.
"Faith I'll keep it busy you get your suit over to Priss as fast as you can. And as soon as my suit is destroyed I'll have Priss start her broadcast. It wont take long for Goliath to reach her so she will need to be fast." Syila said dodging a blow from Linna's severed arm
"Ok I'm out of here." Faith said and broke off from the battle.
"Linna self destruct now." Syila said.
"Ok." Linna said and pressed the button for her suit to self-destruct.
Linna's suit exploded with a blinding flash of light and a defining roar. The blast from the body sent the Boomer forward and the blast from the arm sent it backward making it do a triple back flip before smashing into the ground.
"As soon as Goliath goes after Priss we will head for the New Tokyo harbor where a boat is waiting. Faith when you are battling Goliath so Priss can get away make sure to take Goliath with you. We can't let a Boomer as powerful as that to stay intact." Syila said.
"Priss this is Linna Syila is fighting Goliath alone get ready to broadcast." Linna said.
"I'm ready just saw the word." Priss replied.
"Syila is going to keep it busy for 5 minutes just long enough for Faith to pilot your suit to the station. Once she gets there Syila will let her suit be destroyed then start your broadcast." Linna said.
Syila kept slashing with her blades and dodging blows from the boomer as Faith piloted Priss's decoy to the station. As soon as the suit came through the doors Syila let her guard down just for a second and Goliath took advantage of it and rammed its fist through her helmet. Goliath turned from Syila's Suit and started after Faith. But before it was out of range Syila Pressed the self destruct button and her suit exploded sending the Boomer into one of the houses on the street.
"Ok Priss start your broadcast." Syila said as soon as the detonated her suit.
Priss looked at the man holding the camera and pointed at him.
"Start the broadcast." She said.
The red light on the camera came on and the man pointed at Priss telling her she was on.
"My name is Priss Asaragi and I am here to tell you the true events that led up to what really happened today June 23, 2048."
Present time
Priss looked up at the camera with a sad look in her eyes.
"After I removed the tracking device from my leg we headed to faiths where we tried to come up with a plan to defeat the boomer named Goliath. But as you can see it didn't work now I am the last. All my family and friends were killed and I left Syila to fight and die alone so I could tell you all just what kind of corporation GENOM really is. GENOM is crippled with the loss of its leader Jerry Mason but it will recover. The secret they were trying to burry along with us is the fact that they detonated an experimental earthquake device to try and kill the Sotie causing the earthquake that destroyed Mega Tokyo. As you all know the Sotie survived and emerged 8 years ago and tried to destroy the world. We managed to stop it but GENOM sought to cover its tracks and kill us to cover up its secret. It took them 8 years to creat a boomer strong enough to kill us amd make it look as if a rouge Boomer did it." Priss said. Just them Goliath smashed through the building's wall in the room next to the one Priss and Syila's Friend was in.
Priss grabbed her helmet and put it over her head.
"Don't trust GENOM this is their true face." She said and stepped off screen and her decoy stepped in and weighted for Goliath.
Priss made an exit through the door in the back with Syila's friend just as Goliath smashed into the room where Priss's suit was waiting and the final battle began.
