----- Chapter 4 Old Friend's ---

It was well past 11pm when Raven began looking for Videl, it had been bugging him since the conversation with his mother earlier. He needed to speak to Videl alone, after trying to find her, he had been informed that she was up on the roof on the club.
"You Ok" Raven asked as he walked up to Videl, who was looking up at the stars. She turned to see who was calling her.
"I'm fine" she replied "What brings you up here?"
"O I just wanted to speak to you, you know" he paused and sat down carefully while holding two bottles "Want one?" he asked offering her a beer.
"Thanks" she said taking the bottle from his grasp.
"So how do you know so much about these other Knight Sabres?" Raven asked as he opened his beer.
"I was one of them, remember" she replied
"You mean you where actually meant to be one of them" this was a bit of a shock for Raven, but the biggest was yet to come.
"Yes, I was created for that sole purpose" she replied while opening her bottle of beer. Mean while the shock of her last statement had caused Raven to choke on his beer that he had drunk.
"Created?" Raven replied "You mean you're a... Boomer" this drained the colour from his face.
"A boomer? Yes I am, does that surprise you" Raven was silent for several very long seconds as he stared at Videl.
"I just can't believe it, you're a boomer, God my mother told me about a class of boomer that where almost human like" Raven stared at the bottle of beer in front of him.
"It hard to believe isn't it, that I look, act as a human" Videl replied taking a long sip of her beer. "What was that about a class of boomer?" she asked
"My mum told me that my Sister was named after a boomer, it was such a surprise that. The way my mother bad mouth boomers, then my sister found out she was named after one"
"Why she named her after this boomer then, if she didn't like boomers" asked Videl.
"Hey that personal" came a new voice behind them, they both turned to see Sylvie standing there, but she wasn't alone, Standing there with her was a seventeen year old girl with chestnut blond hair.
"What going on, my mum's going mental" the young girl asked "O hey" she said when she saw Videl "New Friend" she asked Sylvie.
"Girlfriend I worry about you sometimes" Sylvie replied.
"What!!"
"Hey May" Raven spoke up "Let me introduce to you, this is Videl. How can I put this, she is one of the reason you mum, my mum and aunty Nene are going mental"
"Ok what have I missed" she asked.
"Have you ever heard of the Knight Sabres? May" Raven asked.
"Sure, Urban legend" she said as sat her self down opposite.
"Not so quite urban legend girl, their real and two of them we really know well" Sylvie whispered, as she sat down as well.
"Really who?" she asked, both Raven and Sylvie looked at each other and tried very hard not to burst out laughing.
"Your mother and our mother" Sylvie said out. This got a blank up expression stare from May, almost saying 'Yer right'
"Pull the other one sister"
"We are not joking here, the reason our parents are all going mental, is that today some bogus team has shown up, I was there and so was Videl" Raven blurted out. "And Videl knows all about them" he said pointing to Videl.
"Ok say if I am buying this story from you, how she involved" May said staring at Videl.
"I am involved in this because I was supposed to be part of these bogus Knight Sabres as you call them" Videl spoke out.
"Then why aren't you" May asked
"She got a good question there" Sylvie said acknowledging May's question.
"The reason I am no longer part of that organisation is a long one" Videl replied, as she ran her hand through her un kept hair "I been on the run since I learned the plan that Van Weenen was planning, after he found out he ordered my death"
"Ouch" Sylvie said, Both Raven and May said nothing but stare at Videl.
"I left everything I knew, my sisters my home all gone" she paused "I'm surprised that Lynx didn't try to kill me, it was in her nature to follow orders"
"Who Lynx?" Raven asked.
"Lynx is one of my sisters, she was the one at the bank wearing the hardsuit you saw"
"I don't think much of your family, sorry if I sound immoral" May said.
"Don't worry, I understand it my self, but I understand that my sister where program to do what they where told" Videl spoke up.
"Programmed?" both Sylvie and May asked.
"Videl here is a boomer" Raven spoke up, saving Videl the trouble.
"That explain why you where asking about Sylvie" Sylvie said.
"Hun?" asked a very confused May,
"A long story, you ever here the story about the woman I was named after May?" Sylvie asked.
"No"
"Let's see, before me and Raven where even born, or before mum really knew dad, there was this girl. When they met they immediately clicked together a true friendship" Sylvie paused for a while before continuing the story "This girl came to Mega Tokyo to be free, she never had a life before it, because she was a boomer. My mother told me this, that once that she had found out that she was a boomer she held nothing against her and wished that she didn't die" after Sylvie finished the group was silent for a minute.
"How did she die" Videl asked.
"Mother would never tell me the full story, but one of Sylvie sister was in trouble and she was trying to help her, when trouble struck my mum was forced to kill her"
"Dad told me about that, he was there, and that when he found out about mum" Raven replied breaking the icily silences.
"When did dad tell you about that?" Sylvie asked.
"Right after mum told us on our birthday, he told me we needed another father son talk"
"I am going to have to have a really long talk with my mum about this" May said shaking her head, "excuse me" she said getting up "I m going to have a word with my mother" she said before leaving the group.

"O mum where are you?" came a call that immediately shock Linna up, 'They have bound to have told her' she thought 'I never wanted May to be messed up in this, it cost Jr his life, God what am I going to do'
"Excuse me girls" Linna said to Priss and Nene, who had bee discussing plans to deal with these bogus Sabres.
"Good luck" Priss said as Linna walked out of the room.
"Glad I never had any kids" Nene commented leaning back in her chair. "Well you had better call Mackie, while she busy"

While outside in the hall running from Priss Living room, Linna found her seventeen year old daughter leaning up against the wall looking at her shoes.
"Ok mum, is what Raven and Sylvie told me true" May asked still looking at her feet below her.
"What have they told you?" Linna asked her daughter.
"That you and aunty Priss, where the famous Knight Sabres, it a joke right, their pulling my leg?" she turned to face her mother, her face showing signs of uncertainly.
"It no joke honey, I was a Knight Sabre"
"And you never thought to tell me" May shouted out.
"I never told you, because I didn't want you involved in this mess" Linna replied.
"Why not"
"You father, he was killed while wearing his hardsuit, that why!" Linna shouted out and then she burst out crying. She fell to her knees still crying.
"I'm..... Sorry mum" May said as she bent down and supported her mother "I never knew" Both of them where holding each other "mum will you tell me what really happen to dad" she asked.
"Sure, he was..." she said as the scene of both of them disappeared from view.

Two days later it was all hustle and bustle at the Mega Tokyo international space port, as Mackie Stingray waited in line for customs passport control.
"Good evening Sir" the custom agent said as Mackie handed him his passport card. The agent quickly wiped the card through the machine in front of him. He study the man in front of him, he looked quite different to the photo on record. In all he just looked older and more mature to the young man who left Mega Tokyo all those years ago. After taking a few seconds to read the information on the screen in front of him, the custom agent handed back the card. "Welcome back Sir, Have a good time" the agent said, with a smile.
"Thanks" Mackie replied as the barrier slide open letting him pass through. 'Man it really has been a while since I been here' he thought as he walked down to the baggage claim. He stopped to pick p his bag on the luggage carrousel as it came off. He passed through the rest of the customs with no problems, as he reached the door to the main arrivals hall he hesitated. 'Why the hell am I here, it been six years' he thought, but he knew why he was here. He slowly walked through the large double doors with several passengers. Once he passed through the doors he began to scourers the crowds behind the rows of barriers. Out the corner of his eye he spotted the red hair he knew well, with her was the other two friends.
"Hays Guys" he shouted across the noisy hall, as he walked over to them. The three figures standing over on the opposite side of the hall looked so different to him.
"Hey Mackie" The tallest being Linna said, as he began to hug them.
"Good to see you too Linna"
"What was the hold up?" Priss asked, as she was annoyed having to wait an extra hour due to delays to Mackie flight.
"Tail wind against us, I'm afraid" he replied as he gave her a hug. "How Leon and the kids" he asked back.
"Their all good, but all a little shocked about everything that's happen" she said as she released from the hug.
Next came the big step for Mackie 'here goes nothing' he thought as he turned towards the last of the three from the welcome group. Who had been silent up to this point, her face held a stone faced expression.
"Hello Nene, you're looking as beautiful as ever" he said as he eyed the red head in front of him. His statement sang true to him, she was still beautiful at the age she was. Maybe it wasn't too late for him and her.
"Mackie it been to long" she said as her stone expression changed to a face of delight. Once Mackie saw this he smiled and both of them hugged in a tight embrace.
"It good to see you too" he said as he relaxed his grip.
"Come on you two, let's get back to the car" Priss said, while pointing towards the car park.
"Ok let's go" Mackie said as he picked up his bags and followed them.
"I see you got rid of the beard" Linna commented as they walked along.
"Well one of my students said that I looked to old" he commented as the walked along the terminal floor.
"I thought you grew it, to look older" Priss said back.
"True, but at the time, not too many students take notice of a 19 year old professor" this brought a small cry of laughter from between the four of them.
"How life at college" Nene said holding onto Mackie arm like a teenage lover.
"It fair, fair, teaching, grading work. Sometimes I wonder what happen to my youth" he paused a few second till they pass a couple who where in ear shot, once they had passed Mackie asked "Has there been an new development" the immediately silent between the four of them already proved it point, before Priss answered..
"Yes, yesterday there was an incident as the Big S Shopping Mall at Geo City"
"That doesn't sound good"
"No fifteen people lost their lives, when a combat boomer was programmed to go rouge" Nene commented back "Since then, I been getting Stick from the PM and the city Mayor about dealing with this problem".
"Well have you got any data on the hardsuits" Mackie asked as they came up to Linna car.
"Not really, ADP resources have been stretch at the time of the attacks, but Raven seen them. And Videl knows some stuff about them, but she scared about speaking about them" Nene spoke up.
"Do you trust this girl?"
"I Do" Spoke Priss "It something about her, the way she speaks to us. That she telling us the truth"
"Well I like to speak to her when we get to your place" Mackie replied as everyone got into the car. "I been looking into the hardsuit data, that Sylia left, it possible to rebuild the hardsuits, but are you guys up for it" he asked as Linna started the car.
"Err... well... we spoken to the kids, you got to respect them Mackie" Nene said "Raven and Sylvie both passed through the ADP academy with flying colours" she looks over at Priss when she speaks this then he turned to Linna "and ... May, she like her mother with all those moves"
"I'm not too happy about dragging May into this" Linna spoke out.
"Hey she became a black belt instructor in six months, you got to give your girl some credit, Linna" Priss said and the car rolled down the car park ramp.
"What about the girl Videl" Mackie asked.
"Well Raven, he been backing the girl, we let her uses a computer and she even impressed Nene, and you know that hard to do" Priss said from the front.
"Ok I got to meet this girl" Mackie said "Where she staying?"
"She been crashing with Sylvie"
