Chapter 01- @$$IsTED (sALVatieon)

______________________________________________________
Pluto sighed...it was about two in the afternoon and she had been here since she left Brad's at ten...why Rini was here, she didn't even know. Brad hated Rini, and vice verca. He had been called upon on numerous occasions to take out enemies of the kingdom, despite his exile from LISA and position as chief military adviser to her majesty. He and his crew aboard the SS Atlantia, a customized Missile Frigate that left GM service a long time ago had served queen and country well. But that wasn't why she hated Brad....it was because of that damned book he gave Ashe, the reason behind 90 % of the past couple.
Year's worth of frustrations. In reality, it wasn't his fault....he didn't know what he had handed the kid all those years ago....he didn't know it was the codex..."why are you here Rini? If it's to get revenge, you know I wont let you....you know he wont let you"

Rini rolled her eyes "Well that's a demonstration of Brad's complete ignorance when it comes to the subject of me, and what I'm thinking, and what I might do. I might never have liked him. Point in fact I despise him. But that doesn't suggest I don't respect him. he is a master of a profession that's most difficult to master. "
"If he didn't do what he did...your mother would be dead"
"exactly...so is all the equipment over there for glory boy?"
Pluto laughed to herself and reached into her coat for the Ichita 12 gauge sawed off Brad had stolen from the Police man, he had obviously no remembrance of what he did, nor she expected did he have of the dream "all that and this...a bit over armed don't you think?"

"think for a minute of what you just said...this is the same man who once used a high grade beam cannon to take out one starhunter...and ninety percent of the eastern palace wall...a Tarentino film freak and a gun nut....not a good combination"

Pluto did a rare thing...she laughed "This truth lies at the heart of the art of combat. Once it is mastered... Thou shall fear no one... Though the devil himself may bar thy way"

Rini was puzzled "Codex?"

Pluto just smiled "nope....Kill Bill"

*********************************************************************

He felt a little out of place with these females...as overly attractive as they were...preps...preps are obviously what they were...all except for Dawn, who obviously kept her head about her. Back home...all of two years ago
.the 'preps' as it was, were the type of people who had everything handed to them in life...money...power...forty thousand dollar cars with various push-button features they would never need....greed, a human construct he found no use for...even if his Converse All Stars were held together by much duct tape...so what? What did the matters of Wealth mean to him? a glorious and absolute nothing...

"will you be staying in Tokyo long?"
he was only half paying attention ...bored out of his mind...meaningless conversation he had been privy too in High School. Stupid girls babbling about stupid shit that didn't matter. He felt like Jesus listening to the Apostles

"huh...wha...me? as long as I choose to...I got nothing holding me back as of right now"
Amy sighed, this conversation didn't interest her in the slightest...nor did the events that were to exact themselves as the day wore on. This man, this bum in front of her.....how could Dawn...or any of them...take pity on this guy? He was a BUM...that was as nice as she could put it...the way he acted reminded her a little of that Randal guy from that Clerks movie Dawn always watched...but there was something else...something she couldn't put her finger on yet...something...familiar about him..

Brad scratched his head and yawned, this was turning out to be a rather boring day...and he HATED being bored. "so uh.....I don't think we ever got to names exactly...I know Dawn...and I know Mina. so the rest of you are...?"

Dawn cleared her throat "the one with the long blonde pigtails is Serena"

on the mention of her name, Serena waved at Brad trying her best not to look scared. The guy was like a foot and a half taller then her and looked like he could crush her head under one boot heel. He actually reminded her a little of Ashe, in attitude and in dress. There was an air of uncertainty about him, granted, he tried to seem in control...but he was jumpy...perhaps out of his element a little.

so that's her huh....kind of cute actually...doesn't look to bright that one...

"The black haired one is Raye"

seems smart enough, don't much care for the attitude though...lotta pent-up rage

"the brunette is Lita"

I can detect the faint smell of Ginger; she must have cooked recently...too bad 'bout her apartment

"the other blonde is Mina; you met her last night of course"

great body, dumb as a post...yup, definitely a blonde

"glad to meet all of you,'yall seem like nice people"

but that was the problem.....they were nice people, and he was just....so...not nice....he had lied, he had cheated, he had stolen....who knows...he might even kill someday. He wasn't the nicest person in the world, simply put....his mother had caused most of it...and as evil as he could get at points, he wanted to be evil alone. He honestly didn't want to corrupt these innocents any farther than they had allready.He wouldn't wish what he was on his worst enemy

Mina smiled a little, this guy was so nice....she just met him....but she had to extend an invitation to him for the nights festivities....

"um.....so....we got a thing going on tonight. and we were wondering if yo--..."

all right screw this, Raye was through playing the get to know you game...they had business to discuss, and putting the subjects at hand off weren't gonna solve the numerous problems they'd been having as of late "I'm sorry about this...but Dawn, could you take him for a walk or something...we have some.'buisness' to discuss"

the look on Brads face was priceless, he had that 'how dare she' look about him, but before he could say something that would probably result in a black eye...Dawn perked up

"eh what the hell, come on....I'll show you around a bit"

they got up and headed for the door. And within five minutes, the girls were alone with there thoughts

Raye sighed "all right...we can't put this off any longer girls, what are we gonna do about Mr. Saris"

Serena raised an eyebrow this again she thought. Ever since they chased that sniper inside NeoStar, and that conversation with Mr. Saris, all Raye had done was piss and moan about 'NeoStar' this
and 'Saris' that....It was starting to give her a serious migrane"I wasn't aware that there was anything worth talking about"

Raye shook her head...as deep as there friendship was; sometimes Serena's level of gullibility was staggering even after all these years together. It was high time....my god....after everything they've been through...you'd think the dumb blonde would have learned to read people."oh there's plenty to talk about Serena...we've got Saris...Amy's little midnight romps... "
"yea what is the deal with your little sessions Amy?"

Amy blushed a little...perhaps in the company of those closest to her, those she'd trusted for so long, and with the absence of there new found 'ahem' friend....she could get this off her chest and out in the open....hell...it'd be one less thing she would have to worry about "I don't know who he is really...I never get to see his face. I get to see....err....his body, and his armor witch has the symbol of mercury on the breastplate and shoulders"

Serena thought for a moment "could he have been your boyfriend back then?"

Ami turned a little red and nodded "I could only presume so, but I think I would remember something like that....then again, there's a hole heckuva we don't remember"

Mina laughed to herself "well whatever it is, I don't think YOU of all people have to worry about it. I highly doubt little miss uptight bookworm now would have been sexually promiscuous back then at all"

Amy raised an eyebrow "I do believe you are mocking me"

Mina smiled at her friend Amy, poor girl...she wished she could help her.Mabey it was some long forgotten memory from then, hell...could be nothing more then a wet dream...but still, "You think I'm going to mock you for what's happening? We're friends, Amy- I may mock you for being a study-holic at seventeen who's never had an orgasm, but I'd never mock you for something like this"

*************************************************

Dawn sighed, she'd have to talk to Serena about being included in these
little
discussions that they had....she was, in a sense...A sailor solder, defender of
peace and love and all that hippie crap. So what if she didn't have that
crazy Silver Millennium past... it made life way easier, in her humble
opinion. "so...what to do"

"let us converse, I find you to be way more intellectual then your pals in
there....they don't entirely seem to trust me"

Dawn raised an eyebrow "You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did
you....getting them to trust you right off the bat? "

Brad smiles "You know, for a second there, yeah...I did"

"But only a second. Now, you know better." She winked and started walking,
the bounce in her step an attempt to make her hips sway. He was cute, she
reminded herself. Couldn't hurt to have some fun for a while. "Oh, and,
um..." Dawn added over her shoulder, almost reading his mind. "That's about
as preppy as they get. It's bad, but at least it doesn't get worse."

he sat there and stared for a moment, enjoying the full view in front of him...god she's fine he thought to himself hold on a second Mr. London...she's probably interested with guys that have...ya know...a job and stuff like that "Great." he said,moreso to his inner monologue than Dawns comments "That's so reassuring."

"Thank you, Captain Sarcastic," she laughed, turning around and waiting for
him. She tossed her hair over her shoulder, grinning like a fool before she
realized that her attempts at flirting were probably painfully obvious.
Subtlety wasn't her strong suit... damnit. "So, uh, yeah," she stammered.
"Anywhere you wanna go?"

he smiled and dug in his pockets, he didn't know the exact yen amount, but it looked like a lot. He needed a few bare necessities anyway if he was planning surviving on his own "anywhere around here sell CD's really cheep?"

hey....what the hell...some peoples bear necessities differ from others...

"by the way...where are you sleeping?"

he shook his head and laughed "you don't wanna know...any who Dawn, this seems to be a rather money uppity district of Tokyo...and you seem to be *ahem* extremely well off...what do your parents do if you don't mind me asking"

"oh...they live back in Lexington, but I finally convinced them to let me move back here for the last year of High School so I could...ya know...enjoy myself WITHOUT going insane" she sighed and stopped for a moment, a thousand and one memories of the fun she had here before she moved, a hundred more from when she was visited by little Rini..god she missed that kid "I don't know what it is about this place..."

they both seemed to finish the sentence together "....but it's just calming to be here"

Then, the first of an uncomfortable silence happens.

Brad sighed "Don't you hate that?"

"What?"

"Uncomfortable silences.... Why do we feel it's necessary to turn this crap into a meaningful conversation in order to be comfortable?"

Dawn smiled to herself "That's when you know you found someone special. When you can just shit the fuck up for a minute, and comfortably share the nothingness that is silence."

"I don't think we're there yet. But don't feel bad, we just met each other."


_____________________________________________________________________________

Lita sighed as she read through the 'want' ads in the paper while the girls bitched about something, her parent's inheritance was wearing thin and she needed green. She was desperate....not whoreing desperate...but still...
"I need a job "she said to no one but her self... not that what she said was audible anyway but, the girls weren't listening to her to begin with...they were to busy talking about the guy dawn invited over earlier...what was his name?..oh yea, Brad...he reminded her a little of an old boyfriend she'd had a while back. His unique sense of humor was something she didn't care for...there was a hint of dry intelligence about him, as if he cared about nothing, nor did he want anything to care about him. but oh well, she turned and decided to join the conversation the girls were having, and in the 4.3 seconds it took her to drop the paper and join them...every care in the world that she had melted away

"so.....what's your opinion of our newfound friend?"

"did you see the shoes he had? they were held together by duct tape!"

Lita raised an eyebrow "Raye, I never thought you to be one who judge by footwear"

"yea, well...I just can't stand a dirty person, that's all"

Lita agreed, he didn't appear to be the neatest of individuals to begin with, but all that aside he seemed nice enough

Amy lifted her head from the book she was reading "dirty doesn't begin to describe it...what Dawn brought us was a bum"

Luna couldn't stand it any longer, and she knew airtimes felt the same way she did...whatever was about to be initiated had to be done...whatever evil she felt was coming, he would need to be here to fight it with them.....regardless of the consequences "I think we should give him a chance, he seemed like a nice enough guy...and besides...its what on the inside that counts right?

yea right...the inside...the inside was exactly what worried her

so it was settled, tonight they would give Mr. London a chance, regardless of how he looked and regardless of his sense of humor. Besides, Luna was a good judge of character...she'd never been wrong before

Lita smiled "I still need a job"

"you could always work the street corner like Mina"

Mina rolled her eyes...if looks could kill..."neh ha ha Serena...it is to laugh
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Dawn got a call on her cell phone just as they were entering the record store; Serena was on the other end
hey Dawn, what are you and you're little friend up to?
"not a whole lot, just buying a few CD's and then catching a little dinner"
first date eh?
"I wouldn't perchance call it a date...so...what's on your mind?"
we were thinking of given your pal a bit of a chance to prove himself, bring him along with us will ya!
"will do Serena...see ya then"
bye Dawn
she had to approach this matter carefully...she was starting to really like Brad the more she got to know him.Moreso she would dare say than many of the short relationships she'd had in the past. When you got down to it, she was really a complex person....it was nice to meet someone as complex as her....she entered the CD store from the restroom were Serena had called her. He was positioned over a rack of CD's looking at one by Megadeth.Time to play it cool and lay on her famous charm...she twirled her finger in her hair trying to think of something to say..somthing that would peak his interest...she just kind of blurted it out "the girls and I are going to a club tonight and I want you to come along with us"
wait to play it smooth Dawn...
"sure...I'd love to"
wow...that was easier than she'd thought
he smiled at her. and it was all she could do not to burst out, she was so happy he was coming "I need to go home and pick up some stuff first"
**************************************************************************
January 4th, 3129 AD Midnight, Standard Crystal Tokyo Time

Ashe Kino sat in Greynn's contemplating recent events Sorens Death, and those with Arija...but most notably on his mind at the moment, was where Rini and Pluto were tonight. It boggled his mind why Rini went with her...she HAITED Brad. "I swear to god I'll never understand chicks" he said aloud to no one but himself
"Join the club kid"
Ashe looked up to see the face of the very person he least expected to see...Brad London, he ran a hand through his blond/ blue hair, removed his leather jacket and hung it on the hanger, sitting down to join Ashe "if you're looking for someone to talk to about women problems, I'm your man. I have a vast plethora of them"
"indeed you do...she still wont talk to ya eh?"
he sighed and rubbed his temples "that's the funny thing though ya know?" he removed the fingerless leather glove from his right hand, revealing a large, bullet scar "I take a bullet from Serena. and I show her loyalty at every turn, and this is the shit I get from these people...I give Arties a lecture once about all the beauricratic bullshit regarding POW's and I get canned...I go home and tell my wife and what does she do? she yells at me like it's my fault Serenity won't grow a set and deal with these people"
Ashe rolled his eyes...there was just a little more to that particular story...what his very good friend forgot to mention is that on that particular night he got drunk and punched his wife, but he was so incredibly grateful to see the one other person like him who could still, to quote an old movie 'stay sane inside insanity' "when you get in?"
"a little while ago...getting some repairs made on the ship and the like...thought I'd give the crew the week off 'till things are tip-top"
"anywhere in particular you're staying?"
he smiled, knowing the kid would understand what he meant "with an extremely good friend"
"i'm suppressed Amara and Michelle are letting you after the last little 'incident' "
the little incident he was referring to was around three months ago when he ended up decking a guy who was trying to hit on his tactical system operator,elasine whilst in a drunken stupor.......Uranus had to bail him out of jail at three in the morning
"so Ashe, where would your better half be...id' suspect she'd be out raising hell behind mommy dearest's back"
Ashe sat and smiled. tracing his finger around the rim of his coke glass "I'm not suppose to tell you...but I will anyway, why the hell do I care...she went with Pluto back to two k to *ahem* acquire you"
he just shrugged "eh...what the hell, history must run its course I suppose...err...remind me why the hell you aren't with them again?"
"cause I don't wanna be anywhere near Pluto right now...or I may just tell her exactly what I think of her"
he smiled, after a century he was able to read people pretty good...Ashe obviously wanted to see Rini and see everyone back in what he liked to refer to as 'brighter days' (sigh) "I really shouldn't be doing this...your mom will kill me...go see serenity...tell her that it'll be one less she owes me...she'll let you go"
Ashe just sat there in awe
"quit leering at me...people are gonna think I just broke up with you"
he raised an eye brow "well why the fuck didn't ya tell me that the last time I went back?"
"quite simple really.....you didn't ask"
**********************************************************************************
Chapter 3:()h M@k3 m3 0v.r

Dawn stared in awe at the place Brad had brought her....it was a shithole "it must really blow being you" she muttered under her breath. She didn't want it to sound like a rude coment, more a sarcastic remark
"you have no idea"
she hung her head in shame and blushed "I didn't mean it the way it sounded"
he smiled "forget it...its cool" he began to peel off his t-shirt as he looked through a duffel bag for a dress shirt and pants
Dawn sat there and stared for a moment....aside from being a bit unkempt, he had a nice physique...not a body builder, but nice none the less.He turned around to slide on a tanktop when dawn noticed a long, wide scar accross his chest and down to his stomach
"how'd you get the scar....err...the other one I mean"
Brad stopped and got a little teary eyed for a second as if he remembered something horrid
"oh god....I've offended you, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to ask"
"I don't like to talk about it"
he continued going through the duffel bag ...he slipped around the corner and slipped a pair of jeans on away from Dawn's prying eyes

"you don't have to hide from me...I don't bite"

he snickered to himself "aw,thats to bad...I like it rough" Brad stepped out from behind the drywall and finished zipping up his Jinco pants, then slipped on a 'Porn Star' t-shirt

"Ron Jeremy called...he wants your shirt back"

Brad raised an eyebrow and smiled perversely "do I get to watch you dress up now?"

she grinned like a fool "what was it you said earlier...I don't think we're there yet. But don't feel bad, we just met each other."
"so is there anything you CAN show me?"

"would'nt you like to know"

Brad grinned wide "I would actually"

she paced arround,praying she didn't bump into anything...lord knows how long it'd been sense a cleaning "you know, my friend Mina's parents are really cool...I'm sure they'd let you move in with us...until you get back on your feet at least"
"we'll keep it in mind"

Chapter 4: STry 3y3d surprise
****************************************************************

they walked inside the doorway to the immortal, an elite underground -- an "abattoir-chic" version of an old-time juke joint with a greasy, dangerous vibe. White-tiled walls and floors for easy hosing, fixed chromed fittings, run-off gutters, drains. a bar was barely visible in the far left corner of the room. No one wanted to know how Mina got them in, and no one planned to ask. Bodies twisted and writhed on the strobe-lit dance floor. A heavy rave scene.Drugs,baggy clothes, electronic and metal music...the nirvana of all teen-Dom. Dressed in every color imaginable, people were everywhere, ether gathered in cliques around pieces of furniture like jungle cats around a tree or methodically dry-humping there way to a Techno laden Shangri-la. A D.J. wearing head-mounted spotlights orchestrates the tunes on twin- decks. Techno assaulted them -- a beat so heavy it could jar the fillings from your teeth. Music along the lines of KMFDM which is what was currently being spun
Dawn was honestly shocked...this was among other things, not what she expected...what she expected was a club, she did not get a club....she got a rave. And whilst this was not all bad, they would all have to keep an eye on one another. Granted, Dawn had planned to knock a few back. But Dawn had not plan one to touch any ecstasy...as would the rest of the girls. She couldn't say much about Brad however....he looked like he had experienced a few party's in his time....Dawn however,did'nt know if he was a drug user....aside from the cig's which were bad enough as it was...she hated smoking.

Brad cracked his knuckles and smiled, full of himself "wow....this is my kind of place"

Rei rolled her eyes "figures"
Brad sighed and smiled at her "normally I would have beaten your face in...but I'm in a good mood so I'm just gonna let that one slide, ok?" he walked over to the bar as the girls stood and talked

Before Raye could say anything, Dawn stopped her "now look...I'm working on something here and the last thing I need is for him to get pissed off and walk out. so please, as a personal favor...could you all please be nice to him?"
Raye just rolled her eyes "sure...whatever"
Brad produced a fake ID and ordered a shot of Southern Comfort...he didn't notice Serena approach him from behind "What are you doing?"

he gulped down the whisky and turned on the bar stool "having fun"

"we didn't invite you down here to get drunk...we invited you to dance with us"

"I'm not the world's greatest dancer Serena"

she flashed her eyes in the one way she and all girls like her knew they could get any man to do anything they wanted
"please. for me?"

he sighed "I'm not nearly drunk enough"

damn...didn't work "well if not with me...how about the only other one that isn't having any fun"

"I don't think she likes me too much"

"oh....suddenly lost confidence have we"

THAT struck a nerve. Brad James London was not one to be questioned for self asteam,nor would he ever
"give me five minutes"...

***************************************************************************************
Amy sat alone at a table, drinking her club soda and watching Lita and Mina on the dance floor
god I wish I could do that she thought to herself, sure she'd love to...but she'd look like a fool...besides, who would ask dorky littlie Amy Anderson to dance? Serena,Raye,and Mina were so much prettier...and Lita and Dawn had *ahem* way more to offer than she did.Suddenly,Brad walked over and sat down next to her (sigh) "oh what do you want"

"I'm bored"

"well be bored someplace else"

"what the hell did I ever do to you to get you to dislike me so?"

"the fact that you look and act like a slob might have something to do with it"

"oh really...I guarantee I'm just as smart as you Amy"

"challenging me are you?"

"Name your stakes she-bitch"

she smiles at him "If I win, you become my slave."

this was starting to get intriguing "Your slave?"

Amy realized his mind was in the gutter "You wish. You'll do shit work, scan, crack copyrights, whatever I want."

"And if I win?"

"I'll make it my first born."

"Make it our first dance"

"You're not gonna win you know"

"And you have to enjoy yourself"

"I don't dance. But I don't lose either, so you're on...hacker books are the topic. lets begin..Pink shirt?"

"easy. Guide to IBM PCs. So called due to the out of taste pink shirt the dude wears on the cover."

"Luscious orange?"

"Computer security criteria, DOD standards."

"Dragon book?"

"Compiler design....I have a copy in my duffle bag"

"here's one I KNOW you wont get...the big red book"

"think your crafty do ya?...easy, NSA Trusted Networks. Otherwise known as the Ugly Red Book that refuses to fit on a shelf."
Amy pounded her head repeatedly on the table...that son of a bitch had won.Sadly; she was good to her word...so she agreed to dance with him.

Brad walked up to the DJ and requested a song by Wyclef Jean and the Refugee all-stars. they both walked out to the dance floor and began to bump and grind...as best Amy could...to a remixed version of 'Stayin Alive'. A small cercal of people started to form around them as Brad showed Amy how to disco

you couldn't pry the grin off Amy's face with a crowbar "this is kind of fun"

"I thought you would like this"

back in the corner sat Dawn...whatching the whole escalade that had just taken place...and she cried
--------------------------------------three hours later-------------------------------------------------------

Brad stepped by the front door and lit a cigarette while the girls danced inside ya knowhe thought to himself I'm gonna like it here he continued to watch the girls dance...especially that chick Amy....he watched her every move...the shape of her body, her lovely features...when ya got down to it,in that outfit she had on...she was drop dead gorgeous woah,wait...hold yourself cowboy...she's obviously an intelligent girl, and despite your mad computer skills...you've got zero social grace to boot..besides, that chick Dawn is obviously interested in you...and she probibl-the ringing of the cell Pluto gave him went off, he picked it up and turned it on. nearly going deaf

GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE NOW!!!!!

he didn't have much time to respond as a huge thing, which he could only describe as a full knights armor without a head wielding the biggest fucking axe he'd ever seen...and in one fluid motion, it picked him up and flung him out the crunched door...halfway across the street and into a cement wall were he could feel a rib or two cracking as he hit it

"ow...that...sucked" Brad London then...passed out

Amy and Ray had to hold Dawn back from bursting out the door after him, insted they all backed down an alleyway and transformed, rushing back inside to face the monster as people dashed for the exits

Amy clicked her earring and started a diagnostics scan of the monster

"this is not good...that armor is extremely thick."

Dawn tossed a bar stool at him and it shattered like balsle wood "tell me something I don't know"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brad London was awoken by a solid kicked to the ribs"OW!!! I'M GONNA FUCKIN KILL WHOEVER JUST DID THAT!!"he looked up and intended to see Pluto, or perhaps one of the girls...there in front of him was a chick with impossibly long pink hair and red eyes, she was done up in pink jeans, a black Ramones t-shirt and a old pair of Vans. She had a Beretta in her hands to boot; this was turning out to not be his day

"say one word and I pull the trigger,ok?"

he smiled, the safety was still on...ether on perpous or by accident...but he wasn't gonna chance it itherway, some of the most beautiful flowers in the world were the deadliest. "if your gonna do it, do me a favor and shoot me in the temple"

"boy you have no clue how much it would please me, but Pluto says otherwise"

he glanced around for a moment.."uh...were is she exactly

She stepped out of the shadows, holding what looked like a sawed off shotgun "making sure that thing doesn't make it to the street"

"good idea"

the girl brushed a strand of pink hair out of her face and helped him up "did a bang up job stopping that thing"

"hey fuck you lady, I just got careened into a brick wall"

Rini looked him over.."I have the gun, you don't. watch it"

"true, but if Rini had intended to....she would have shot you by now"

Brad cracked his neck and got to his feet, the pain of his ribs suddenly removing his second wind "hold on...bit dizzy here"

"Rini...give him the sword"

Brad was a bit confused to say the least "why would I need a sword...cant I just...I dunno...shoot fireballs outta my ass or something?"

Rini cracked up laughing "I'd pay to see that"

Pluto tossed him this "sword" it was a standard bastard sword, exept the guard shone a bluish tone. and at the end was a blue ball filled with some kind of water. it had a symbol carved on it "your about to get a crash course in transformation...raise the sword above your head and say Mercury Zicon Power, Activate!"

"and then what happens"

"you go...kick ass..as you would say"

"err..ok" he rose the sword above his head and yelled "MERCURY ZICON POWER, ACTIVATE!"a brilliant blue light surrounded him as his clothes melted away, replaced by a beautiful aqua blue knights armor. complete with the same weird symbol that was on the sword "you're shitting me. I aint going out dressed like prince valiant lady!"

great she thought sarcastically I knew this would catch on "if you had something else in mind, just imagine it and it'll form on you...but nothing too off the wall all right?"

"fair enough" he closed his eyes and the same blue light as before shown down on him, but this time the results were different then before

"I actually like this one...impressive"

his normal knight's armor was replaced by a long blue coat, it had one arm covered in chain mail and the like, and the arm gauntlet and the shoulder peace had the same symbol as before. He had on a white tie-up, allmost mid-evil like shirt, Black pants of some kind. And large black, allmost military style boots with blue streaks every which-way up them "now THAT was fuckin awesome"

Pluto smiled and tossed him guns of some sort "go get 'em Aziral"

"Moon Gorgeous Meditation"
"Mars Flame Sniper"
"Jupiter Oak Evolution"
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock"
"Mercury Aqua Rhapsody"
"EOS Random Bar Stool Two"

the attacks all hit the creature at once, knocking it back...then Dawn's bar stool hit and it collapsed to the ground

Serena stopped for a moment and turned to Dawn "that's your big attack...you chuck a barstool at him?"

"I take energy and play rebound...so until he starts playing duck hunt with me I got to work with what I have god damnit"

The huge armor backhanded Dawn, sending her sprawling into the jukebox promptly cutting off the song that had been playing

suddenly a figure was standing by said jukebox, an open skylight a possible way he came in

"where the hell did you come from?"

The man stood up and withdrew a large bastard sword, twirling it in the air like a baton...as if it weighed nothing "Primordial ooze, Big Bang....malevolent hand of an all powerful creator...all possibilities I suppose...although I tend to disbelieve the malevolent creator theory...but who knows"

the huge metal armor stood for a moment thinking...how it did this without a head they did not know...it reared back and cracked Brad in the stomach with a huge fist...he fell instantly

"JUPITER LIGHTNING DRAGON STRIKE"

there was a tremendous roar as green-whitish electricity crackled all over the knight's armor...suddenly there was movement behind him

Brad stood up and cracked his knuckles "you shouldn't have done that...now I'm angry"

eyes hued over a light blue, he reared back and kicked the jukebox as hard as he could starting a tune. he drew his sword and frantically slashed and stabbed the creature, ducking and sliding between its legs as it brought the massive battle axe down unto the dance floor. Brad jumped and drop-kicked the knight in the back attempting to bring it off balance...the creature...had other plans. Brad felt the displacement of air right before the massive energy blast sent him flying into the mini bar and cutting his head on a shattered bottle of Biccardi Dark

The creature...somehow...though it was headless...reeled back and roared in victory...but it was not to be

Brad rose from behind the bar; bleeding from his head like a demon from hell...small puffs of blue smoke rose from his eyes, the purple strands of hair had turned a dark blue. in a lightning flash he leaped over the bar and cracked his neck "ouch...that hurt"

He formed his hands much like he'd seen Goku do on Dragon Ball Z...he didn't know where all this was coming from and didn't really care...he just...went with it. He opened his mouth and screamed...

"MERCURY CHRISAOS SHARDS" and out of his palm shot thousands of tiny, sub-zero ice needles that pelted the knight creature with tremendous fury the likes of which suppressed even him. the shards freezing various parts of his armor and slowing down his movement. but not stopping it...then...Brad got an idea

all he did was smile. he yanked the Walther from its makeshift belt holster and fired. The forty cal. round shattering the plate Armour revealing a greenish, glowing skin beneath making it look like the victim of some horrible radiation accident.Somewere around the thirteinth, the creature dropped and advanced no more

Brad's eyes returned to there normal cobalt blue hue, he for some reason felt tired "ain't moving now are ya bitch?"he reared back and plunged the bastard sword into the creatures exposed flesh...where he suspected the heart would be....the creature spasamed radically before falling silent once more

Dawn got up, cratiling her arm "wow....that was amazing...who are you?"

he thought about that...he hadn't thought about a name..what was it that Pluto had called him?..oh yea "Aziral...my names Aziral"

Serena extended a hand "glad to meet you" she noticed the sword on his back "err...you're not a starhunter are you?"

"a what?"

"never mind"

"Unfortunetly, I must go as I have a previous engagement to attend to" he stopped...how many chances like this would he have would he have? he turned toward the scouts and bowed "a pleasure to fight with you ladies...might say I'm a fan"

Serena smiled "wish we had more like you"

he turned his attention toward Mercury "however, of you I'm a bigger fan" he knelt down and kissed her hand

Amy turned beat red the moment his lips touched her hand, she felt thrilled that someone would even do something like that. no matter how little it really met...Serena had her Tuxedo Mask, Mina had Shadow Mask....guess she was more popular then she thought

she turned to thank him....they all did...but he was gone

************************************************************************
Brad sat on the rooftop across from the Immortal, reloading clips...checking his injuries...Pluto and the bitch with her had high-tailed it...he didn't know were, and honestly he didn't care. He turned for a moment and glanced into the steel grid box sitting next to him...most notably the breifcase..he took it out and checked it all around..the numbers Three, One, Seven, One were etched onto the underside...they probably had some hidden meening, but he had been flung into a re-enforced concrete wall and was in no mood to think. The locks clicked, and the case opened up...it held several items inside, includeing a LCD screen. Brad could tell by the rounding-off of the screws that it had been opened up at some point and probably been messed with, by whom he did not know nor did he care. he pressed the red button next to the screen and a image of a kid about his age, mabey younger in a white trench coat popped up on the screen and spoke to him "you don't know me, but if your watching this...I trust you've met Pluto and Rini.I understand Pu has initiated you to undertake a mission...there for, we have some things for you to help along with this..if you'd just open the black felt zip case please "Brad picked it up and unzipped it. He found several items inside.
"in there you will find a credit card, and a few other things to prove your a citizen here...we all had 'em digitally altered for you. so be gratefull.You should also find a key in there...congratz kid..you found your apartment key...you now live in the building you're standing on"

he was utterly speech less...a house...they bought him a house. He felt like a kid at Christmas
there were also several peaces of paper, which he promptly removed

"now as far as your cover story so everyone wont think you jacked this stuff....you had a rich uncle who passed away recently...you'll find all the documentation within proving your story to be truthful...By the way, that credit card has no limit, and works as a ATM card too....the number is the same as the one on the case".

killer....he had cash out the ying-yang...and a place to live...perhaps there was a god shining down on him

"the last and final thing found within is a little something to help you get around in...it isn't exactly a NeoStar Starfighter, but its damn close enough"

there was a small pair of keys sitting the bottom...he saw no sign of what they were for however

"That'll be here tomorrow....go get some rest kid...you deserve it"

he picked up his stuff and headed downstairs towards his new apartment doing the happy dance all the way...perhaps this was a good sign of things to come...maybe greed wasn't such a bad thing after all
