Linna and Josh's 4:30 am
When Ayame's alarm went off she almost fell out of bed to turn it off.
"Oh man I'm sore." She said as she stood up. "Lilly its time to get ready for work." She said shaking Lilly.
"I'm awake." Lilly said in a half dead tone.
"Get up and take a shower I'll make some coffee." Ayame said.
"I better be able to chew that coffee or it's not gonna work." Lilly said. (Author's note: I think I'm in love with Lilly she knows what good coffee is like. I make coffee so strong you need a knife and fork to eat it.)
"Ok." Ayame said and walked into the kitchen.
Lilly stood up a little wobbly and walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. She looked into the mirror at her black eye that had spots of green in it and touched it with her hand.
"Ouch." She grunted.
She let the nightgown Ayame loaned her fall to the floor and got into the shower. The heat from the water made her eye sting like hell so the shower was short even though it made her sore muscles feel better. Ayame was in the kitchen drinking some coffee when Lilly walked in with only a towel wrapped around her.
"I need some clothes." Lilly said.
"Your not gonna find any in here." Ayame said. "Look in my room and take what you need."
"Thanks." Lilly said and walked into the room.
Ayame finished her coffee and went into her room to grab some clothes and hop into the shower. Lilly was looking through the closet for some clothes. She was only warring Ayame's underwear and bra when and putting on a pair of pants.
"Well that's one way to get into my pants." Ayame joked.
"I'd rather be taking them off you." Lilly said smiling.
Ayame blushed at that and grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom and got into the shower. Lilly was just about eating the coffee beans from the coffee pot when Ayame walked into the kitchen.
"That was eleven cups of coffee you just decimated." Ayame said with her jaw on the ground. "Your gonna be a humming bird in an hour."
"I hope so." Lilly said. "Oh and by the way. Good morning." She said and gave her a kiss.
"We better get going got to catch the bus." Ayame said.
"I got my bike." Lilly said. "We can ride if you want."
"Oh cool I get to ride with you for once." Ayame said.
"Yep." Lilly said.
"Well then we have about thirty minutes before we should leave." Ayame said putting on another pot of coffee.
"Good wake me up in twenty-five minutes" Lilly said and laid on the couch.
"Ok." Ayame said and walked into her room.
Lilly was fast asleep when Ayame came back into the living room twenty minutes later. Ayame leaned over Lilly and kissed her on the lips.
"Lilly its time to get up." Ayame said.
"Ok." Lilly yawned and stood up.
Five minutes later they were out in the driveway as Lilly started up her bike. Ayame found her old scooter helmet and put it on.
"Lets go." She said sitting behind Lilly.
"Hold on tight." Lilly said and rode off.
They arrived at work at 5:50am tem minutes before they had to start.
"Hey you two." Sue Ann yelled and waved as she got off the bus.
"Hey Sue Ann." Ayame said.
"How's it whoa now that's a big black eye." Sue Ann said when she saw Lilly. "Did you piss off a gorilla or something?"
"Close." Lilly said.
"Well anyway let's get to work." Sue Ann said and walked through the front door.
As they walked in they were stopped by a guard.
"Ladies from now on you must ware an ID badge when you enter the building." He said.
"We don't have any." Ayame said.
"They are hanging on your lockers." The guard said and saluted. "Have a good day."
"You to." Ayame said and saluted back.
They went into the locker room and found their badges. And also hanging on the lockers was a black robe with their names on it.
"What's this?" Lilly asked taking a note that was stuck to her locker.
"I have one to." Lilly said. "Looks like we're the only ones that got them."
They opened the letters and read them to them self's.
From here on out all members of the advanced security team (AST) must be in their inner suits while on duty so toe react faster if needed.. The robes are to keep you warm.
Marten Mason.
"Ok I see." Lilly said opening her locker.
Ayame, Lilly and Sue Ann changed into their inner suits and put on their robes. The rest of the team arrived right before 6:00am and quickly changed.
"What's the plan for today ma'am?" Hira Toyo asked.
"More training." Lilly said.
A groan went up from everyone in the room.
"I know how you feel." Lilly said.
"Its gonna be one on one." Ayame said. "The teams will be. Sue Ann Kim Vs. Lilly McNickle, Sherry Austin Vs. Me, Hira Toyo Vs. Furu Yama, Megume Yoshi Vs. Meami Mai, Aki Nishi Vs Taya Takame and Ayekwon Yamamoto Vs. Lynn Yamamoto."
With the names read off they got into their suits and went into the training room.
Silky Doll 8:00 am
Everyone arrived and got into the pit before Rosemary came into the living room. Leon had a duffle bag full of Lilly's clothes that he gave to Linna. They took their seats and Sylia began the briefing.
"Ok the time we hoped would never happen is here." Sylia said. "GENOM is back."
"What are we gonna do about them?" Linna asked.
"I want to run a recon of the building and find out their intentions." Sylia said.
"When do you want to run the operation?" Josh asked.
"As soon as Nigel finishes the suits." Sylia said.
"And how long is that gonna take?" Priss asked.
"He'll be finished at noon today." Sylia said.
"So we have only four hours to get ready for our first mission in twenty years?" Priss asked.
"I want to find out what's going on as soon as I can so yes." Sylia said.
"Sylia." Linna said. "Umm Ayame works in one of the offices."
"What?!" Sylia asked. "Why are you letting her work for those bastards?"
"We just found out last night." Linna said "And as soon as we could I called you."
"Ok keep and eye out for Ayame and don't hurt her." Sylia said. "Just scare the hell out of her and make her quit."
Sylia ended the meeting and everyone started going about the things they needed to do. Nene and Mackey started hacking into the GENOM building and Josh and the other Crimson Knights along with Priss Linna and Sylia started sharpening their swords and checking their equipment. The time to start the operation was only five minutes away when Nigel finished all the suits. Everyone suited up and stood in the pit for one final briefing.
"Ok we have learned that the President of the corporation is Marten Mason. His father was Brian J. Mason. He was only six years old when we killed the executives." Sylia said. "We don't know what kind of man he is so don't kill him if you don't have to."
"What's the opposition look like?" Josh asked.
"Their security is weak. They only have AK.47's and they can't penetrate the suits." Sylia said.
"Any Boomers?" Linna asked.
"Not that we know of." Sylia said. "Any other questions?"
No one said a word.
"Ok let's go." Sylia said and stepped into the launcher.
One by one they launched from the launcher and headed for the GENOM building.
Security room
Ayame, Lilly and Sue Ann collapsed on the benches after their work out as the others went into the showers.
"So do you think we're ready for actual combat?" Sue Ann asked.
"I don't know." Lilly said.
"I think we're getting close." Ayame said standing up. "Its time for a shower."
"I agree. You stink." Lilly laughed.
"You smell worse than I do." Ayame countered.
"Hey I never said I smelled any better." Lilly said sniffing her arm pit. "I have to smell worse."
"You two are goof balls." Sue Ann said and walked into the showers.
They took a fast shower so to be ready if anything happens and dressed in their inner suits again.
"I hope all this training pays off some day." Sue Ann said as she was tying her robe.
"It will." Lilly said. "I hope.
Somewhere over Tokyo
Linna, Josh and the others were heading for the GENOM building in silence trying to remember how to work their suits.
"There is our target." Sylia said as the building came into view. "We'll smash through the Presidents office window he should be there."
The window they were heading for came into view and they approached going extremely fast. Priss took the led and armed her knuckle bomb. As soon as she was within arms reach of the window she let her fist fly. The window exploded in a glory of fire glass and metal. Marten Mason was sitting at his desk with his back to the window when it exploded. He dove from his chair to avoid the shrapnel. He stood back up and faced the window and saw the whole Knight Saber Crimson Knights team standing in his office.
"So your still around." He said reaching in his pocket an pressing a silent alarm button.
Security Room
Lilly, Ayame and Sue Ann were just sitting down to lunch when an alarm in the room sounded.
"What the hell?!" Sue Ann said standing up.
"That's our queue!" Ayame yelled. "Suit up!"
All twelve women ran into the locker room and got into their suits.
"Well Sue Ann ask and you shall receive." Lilly said.
"Bite me." Sue Ann said and put her helmet.
"Sue Ann take Nishi and Toyo and cover the first five floors." Ayame said. "Sherry Take The Yamamoto sisters and cover floors six through ten. Lilly take Mai and Takame and cover eleven through fifteen. Yama and Yoshi with me we'll take Mr. Mason's office." She said. "Let's move."
All twelve of them ran down the hallway to the elevators and stairs. Lilly, Sue Ann and Sherry took their teams up the stairs and Ayame and her team took the elevator to the Presidents room.
Mason's Office
And what can I do for you today?" Marten Asked stepping forward. "Interested in buying some boomers.
"Stow it." Josh said stepping forward. "Why did you restart this corporation?"
"I just couldn't let the GENOM name remain buried could I?" Marten asked.
"You should have." Sylia said.
"You must be the leader of the Knight Sabers." Marten said looking at Sylia. "And that would make you the Leader of the Knights." He said looking at Josh.
"What do you have in your pocket?" Josh asked drawing his sword.
"A panic button." Marten said taking it out. "Its of no use to me now I've already pressed the button."
"Your little guards won't stop us." Priss said stepping forward.
"I never said it was regular security." Marten said.
The elevator doors opened and Ayame Yoshi and Mai stepped out.
"Shit it's the Knight Sabers and the Knights." Ayame said.
"Those looks like my old suit." Linna said.
"Oh so you lived." Marten said. "I guess those soldiers missed twenty years ago."
Ayame pressed her communicator and it beeped.
"We have them in Mr. Mason's office need help now." She said and let the button go.
"I'd like to introduce you to my Advanced Security Team." Marten said stepping aside.
Ayame stepped forward with Yoshi and Mai behind her. Linna Priss and Sylia also stepped forward to meet them.
"I got the one in the middle." Linna said.
"The one in the middle is mine." Ayame said picking up speed.
Linna started to run at the suit and they met in the middle of the office with a crash. Lilly and the others met in the elevator and started for Marten's office. Linna and Ayame were locked in combat when the doors to the elevator opened.
"Shit theirs more of them." Yelled.
"Fuck theirs twelve of them." Kenny yelled.
"It's about time." Ayame said when the others walked in.
'I know that voice.' Thought and stopped her attack.
"I got you now." Ayame said and did her mother's favorite double round house kick.
Linna acted in time and blocked the kick with her left arm. When Ayame's leg connected with Linna's arm Linna felt the bone snap in two.
"AARRRGG." She screamed in pain.
"You bitch." Josh yelled drawing his sword and rushing forward.
Josh stabbed at Ayame with all the force he could muster. Ayame tried to dodge the sword but it pierced the left shoulder guard and went straight through Ayame's shoulder and out the other side. Ayame dropped to her knees grasping the sword with her right hand.
"Nooo." Lilly yelled and kicked the sword breaking it in the middle.
Lilly did a spin kick and caught Josh on the side of the head cracking his helmet and sending him into Kenny.
"Oh damn that hurt." Josh said getting back up.
"She's mine.' Priss said and came in with a knuckle bomb and connected with Lilly's face sending her to the ground in an explosion of flames.
"Theirs too many of them retreat." Syila said breaking off contact with Megumy.
Sue Ann was exchanging blows with Nene and it looked like she was winning. Terry and Kenny were back to back fighting off the Yamamoto sisters, Taya and Sherry all at once. Mike was all alone going up against Maemi, Aki and Toyo and was winning.
"Knight Sabers Knights retreat!" Sylia yelled and headed for the window.
Priss and Mike picked up Josh and they jumped out of the window with Sylia, Nene, Terry and Linna right behind them. Kenny was the last to leave. He just couldn't resist taking one last punch that sent Lynn Yamamoto into her sister.
"Ha ha got you." Kenny yelled and jumped out of the window.
The security team began to take care of their wounded as the regular security entered the room. Lilly was unconscious and Ayame stumbled over to her.
"Lilly are you ok?" She asked.
There was no answer.
"Ayame are you ok?" Sue Ann asked seeing the blood running from between her fingers.
Ayame didn't hear her. Her head was spinning and everything went black and she passed out.
"Ayame!" Sue Ann yelled and ran over to her.
Sue Ann removed Ayame's suit and saw she had a stab wound to her upper left shoulder.
"Call Medical Ayame and Lilly are hurt bad." Sue Ann said.
Marten picked up the phone and called 119.
Sue Ann took off Lilly's helmet and saw her looking off into space.
"Damn she has a concussion." Sue Ann said.
Lynn and Ayekwon were looking out the window at the specks in the air.
"So they were the Knight Sabers and the Knights." Lynn said.
"We need lots more practice." Ayekwon said looking back at the room and at Lilly and Ayame lying on the floor.
"Man they were strong." Sherry said picking Martens desk up that was toppled by her when Terry kicked her into it.
The medical staff arrived and took Lilly and Ayame to Medical.
