Kim Possible and Street Hawk: Full Metal Mayhem! 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Kim Possible, Street Hawk, or Full Metal Panic! Wish I did though.
At the Farmhouse and Introductions
Meanwhile, Sousuke Sagara, Sergeant of Mithril and his girlfriend, Kaname Chidori, are waiting to meet a member of 'Team Hawk'. Captain Teletha Testarossa had no details as to who would be meeting them at the location. They sit around on a hay bale and think about their flight into Colorado.
(Earlier that day)
Sousuke and Kaname's Mithril charter arrived in Denver, Colorado, as the Midwest American branch for Mithril did have an operative in the area. Also because Captain Testarossa had informed them that the location of Team Hawk's base was classified. Even for her contacts. They were able to get a general area, around the vicinity of Denver. Lowerton was the closest and also highly low profile. Whereas Middleton was a little more noticeable, given it's reputation as the hometown of 'Team Possible'.
"Easy, Sousuke. I'm sure that Team Hawk would be able to handle these jokers. They've been doing so for a good while now." Kaname had seen Sousuke's worried expression and decided to encourage him to keep the faith.
"I know, Kaname. But, the situation is very close to home for me. You know?"
Kaname nodded, gave him a kiss and asked, "Do you think he would appreciate seeing you in action? I know I did when you rescued me the first time. You have an ax to grind, as does Team Hawk. You always taught me, in your own way, that bad things happen because they give you something good to look forward to. I'm looking forward to something good, Sousuke."
"Me too, Kaname. Me too. I can only expect and hope we won't be too late."
The Mithril driver then said, "Sgt. Sagara, we're coming up on the location now, sir. You'll find the requested materials in the cabinet beside you."
Sousuke nodded and replied, "Understood, thank you." Kaname opened the cabinet, saw the envelope and brought it out, a bright smile on her face.
At that, the Mithril van arrived at the location and Sousuke opened the door, stepping out and helping Kaname down to the ground. When he closed the door, Kaname gave him a bright smile and a kiss. As they walked away, the van headed out, as per orders from the Colorado safe house for Mithril.
Kaname snaps back to the present, remembers the package and opens it. Once she pulls it out, she reads the information gathered so far on Team Hawk and whistles, highly impressed.
"Sousuke, according to this, they've stopped a good-sized amount of global threats so far. They're very much like Mithril in that respect. Before them, 'Team Possible' did the same thing."
Sousuke nods and says, "In any case, Kaname, when our contact arrives, you may want to take cover until I give you the all clear. He may be somewhat like me."
"Sousuke, no one can ever be like you. They can come close, but there's no knocking off or copying the original one-man army of destruction that is you. You are a really great and dangerous force of nature. That is what keeps the world safe, even though you face danger every day." That results in a blush from Sousuke and a giggle from Kaname.
"Thank you, Kaname."
Before Kaname can respond, they hear an engine of a motorcycle revving as it gets close to them. Without any further word from Sousuke, Kaname takes cover inside the old farmhouse. As the cycle gets closer, Sousuke sees the front end glowing bright blue with a red light right where the headlight would be.
Inside the farmhouse, Kaname thinks about her Father's reaction to the news regarding Luke's abduction and their intent to rescue him with Team Hawk's help.
(Flashback)
"Daddy, we have to go rescue Luke. It seems he was taken by the Sho-Da-Kah. The same group he fought against in Detroit, no less."
"Is this to be a Mithril operation?"
"Only partway, Mr. Chidori. It seems that Team Hawk had fought against and defeated the Sho-Da-Kah quite a few times. So, if all goes well, Mithril and Team Hawk will be joining forces to defeat the Sho-Da-Kah."
Kaname then sighed and added, "In any case, Father, I'm going with Sousuke. But mainly to keep him leveled out."
Aghast, Shunya said, "No, I forbid it, daughter. Sousuke's world is not your world. No matter how much you want it to be. Sousuke, please, I implore you. Talk my daughter out of going with you."
"Unfortunately however, Mr. Chidori, I am unable to do so. I already informed her that she could not join in the mission. But she seems to have inherited your stern constitution and grim determination. Just like she was determined during our first crisis in Khanka. Right Kaname?"
"That's right, Sousuke. Besides, I'm sure you've heard of 'Take your spouse to work day'. Think of it like 'Take your lover to work day'. Please, Father. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that Sousuke won't leave me in the lurch. How can I do that to him when he needs support?"
Shunya sighed as he replied, "You have a point, Kaname. Sousuke, I'm counting on you to keep her safe."
"I will, Mr. Chidori." He then brought out his combat knife and asked, "Shall I swear it in blood, Mr. Chidori?"
"No, Sousuke. That will not be necessary. Your word is good enough for me." Shunya breathed out a sigh of relief as Sousuke put the knife back into the sheath. Curious, Shunya then asked, "When do you meet with Team Hawk?"
"Tomorrow, Mr. Chidori."
"Very well. I wish you both luck with this partnership with Team Hawk. Call me as soon as you get it done. Okay Kaname? Sousuke?" At the teens' nods, Shunya proceeded his study.
Kaname snaps back to the present and looks outside in time to see the cycle make it's way to Sousuke.When the cycle comes to a stop, she can clearly see that it is not your standard run of the mill cycle. In place of the engine, it has what would appear to be a reactor. At the same time, it has a healthy idle, much like a regular cycle's engine does. She grins at the amount of limited amount of light that allows her to see the cycle. To her, it's the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. For it reminds her of Sousuke. Aggressive, strong and reliable.
On the cycle, Street Hawk picks up two warm bodies on the infrared and places a call in to Command Center. "Norman, looks like our party has a guest with him. It would appear to be a female. Gonna need Rolling Base for them, buddy."
"I copy, Ron. ETA is twelve minutes."
At that, Street Hawk stops the cycle and uses the challenge. "Mithril."
"Team Hawk."
"I'm Street Hawk. Who are you?"
"I am Sousuke Sagara, Sergeant of Mithril."
"Who's your guest, Sergeant?"
Sousuke grins and realizes he has infrared on the cycle. He then replies, "Kaname Chidori, my girlfriend. Is she clear to come out?"
"Affirmative."
Instantly, Sousuke takes a liking to the man with the distorted voice. Using a wave of his hand, he signals Kaname to come out into the open.
At the same time, Street Hawk switches over to the headlight, softening it so they don't get blinded from the sudden light. Once he does, he sees a young man with brown hair and an x-shaped scar on his cheek. About seventeen years of age and definitely looks like he can take care of himself. He then sees a young woman with long blue hair come outside and wrap her arms around Sousuke. About seventeen as well and with a fiery personality. The ultimate in contrasts to each other.
When Kaname steps out, she gets a closer look at the motorcycle and it's rider. The rider is clad in a dark-colored racing suit, possibly black, with white striping on the sleeves and legs. The suit is reminiscent of the suit that Sousuke had examined. The cycle is aggressive-looking and dark-colored as well, possibly black, with a blue glow on the front. Wrapping her arms around Sousuke, she sees the Glock on the rider's right thigh.
She then remarks, "He's got a gun too, Sousuke. Are you two going to hold a competition later on?"
"Maybe, if we have time after the rescue mission."
Street Hawk asks, "Who are we rescuing, Sergeant Sagara?"
Sousuke sighs and replies, "My cousin, Luke Sagara. He's been abducted by the Sho-Da-Kah. My superior on the Special Response Team learned about your team's operations against the Sho-Da-Kah. He figures we'll be able to help each other. You help me rescue Luke and I'll help you shut down the Sho-Da-Kah. Once and for all."
"That arrangement would have it's benefits. I called ahead for a ride for the two of you. Expect to be blindfolded when we take you to our base of operations. While we're on the same side, we don't quite trust you with our secrets yet."
"Understood." Kaname nods in agreement with Sousuke's reply as the three wait for transportation.
Getting curious, Kaname walks toward the cycle and asks, "How seriously armed is it, Street Hawk?"
"Right now, until the Sho-Da-Kah is fully stopped, the cycle is armed with lethal ordnance. Rockets, .50 caliber machine guns and a phase-particle beam. The beam is potentially lethal as the setting can be adjusted. At maximum charge, I can fry a suspect if I feel it's necessary to do so. Mostly, the maximum charge is for stopping vehicles. However, if that person was mutated by toxic waste, the lowest setting would set them aflame. Trust me on this. I know from experience."
Kaname elects to take him at his word, hearing the tone in his voice and knowing he's as serious as Sousuke. Remembering the item in place of the engine, she looks right at it. "What is this, Street Hawk?"
"These are high-volume air boxes. They boost the power of the engine, which is right behind them. Cruising speed for the cycle is 200 miles an hour. With Hyperthrust, it goes up to 300+."
Both Sousuke and Kaname whistle, highly impressed.
Kaname then asks, "What's Hyperthrust?"
"It's a computer-assist mode that's controlled at our base. After all, it is too complex for the rider to trigger it and regain control once it activates." He then elects to change the subject.
"So, how did you and Sousuke meet?"
Kaname giggles as she replies, "That is a very long and funny story. Basically, when I first met him, I considered him to be weird, but interesting. He then saved my life during a trip. We finally got tired of dancing around our feelings about a month ago. We haven't had any regrets since then." She then hears Street Hawk chuckling at her story. "What's so funny, Street Hawk?"
"That's pretty much how my wife and I met. We met in Pre-K, hung around a lot and pulled each other through some pretty crazy times in the past. We realized our feelings for each other during a mission. Well, one thing led to another and we're still together. We have three kids with another on the way. Maybe more."
Concerned, Kaname asks, "Doesn't it cut down on your family time, though?"
"We do what we can to make up for it between missions." Before Street Hawk can comment any further, Kaname sees a van approaching their position.
She then says, "Sousuke, I think our ride's here."
Sure enough, it is. When the van gets close, it blows it's horn. The driver stops the van right beside the cycle, allowing the teens to see a figure wearing a hood.
Street Hawk dismounts the cycle, goes to the van's side door and opens it, allowing the two teens into the van and blindfolding them. As an afterthought, he opens the back door on the van and lowers the ramp. After consulting the cycle's fuel level, he determines it'd be a good idea to ride with the others, as the cycle wouldn't be able to make it all the way there with the fuel level. Besides, it'd give him a chance to get to know Sousuke and Kaname a little more.
"So Sergeant, how long have you been a soldier? You seem quite young. Then again, Asians do tend to look young at times."
Sousuke grins as he replies, "I've actually been a soldier since I was eight years old. When my parents died in front of me, I took up arms and fought with the Afghani rebels. I haven't even turned eighteen yet. But I am very adept all forms of combat. Basically, I'm a Specialist."
Street Hawk chuckles as he asks, "Ever hear of Monkey Kung Fu?"
"I have heard something about it, but I have yet to come across one that practices it. How do you know about it?"
"I dabble a little bit at times, but only for hand-to-hand when I'm on stand down."
"Understood." At that, the rest of the ride is in silence. Eager to start a conversation, Kaname decides to ask Street Hawk about how the cycle came to be.
"Well, it all started with a Research engineer that works with the Federal Government. He wanted to improve the Police forces' within the country's capabilities to combat crime in every form. Street Hawk was that first step." At that point on, he tells them the pertinent details regarding the cycle and it's other capabilities so far.
