Disclaimer: Phantasy Star Online,weapons names,Ragol and other elements are owned by Sega and Sonic Team.Lita Kino is inspired partially by Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Jupiter character. Jack Chronos/Chaos Lord,Shard,Jayce Candleheart,Kasumi Miyamoto/The Kasumi Ninja,the term 'EX Hunters', and the city of Neo Algo are made by myself for this fic series.
Lita Kino brought her Buster saber down through the Booma's head.The VR Booma dissolved into pixels and then nothing.She looked over to the side, Kasumi Miyamoto AKA The Kasumi Ninja,swung her Tempest Pole and smacked a VR Evil Shark upside the head,and then her adopted brother, Jayce Candleheart ran it through with his red Pallasch saber.
Further down the hall in the VR Temple,Shard blasted three VR Rag Rappies away with his Shotgun. "Nothing to it." He grunted in satisfaction.
Lita reflected that androids made great allies,but dangerous enemies.
Jack Chronos,the Chaos Lord,swung a Gigush sword and smacked a VR Dark Belra many times.The threat was almost over.
Suddenly,a shadow loomed over Lita,which was a surprise,given Lita's amazing 6 foot height.She turned and saw a VR Hildebear drawing a massive fist back,ready to punch.Jayce yelled "Backflip kick!"
Lita acted on instinct.She did a backflip,her right foot slamming into the VR Hildebear's chin.It staggered backwards…
…Lita moved out of range…
…and Jayce brought up a pair of Gatling mechguns,blazing energy bolts at the VR monster.The Hildebear dissolved,and Lita landed on her feet,next to Jayce.
Lita's eyes met Jayce's.Both of them blushed,but smiled.
Kasumi giggled. "There they go again."
Shard said softly "They should get a room….with a camera monitoring it."
Kasumi nudged Shard with her elbow. "Put your tongue back into your mouth,perv."
Shard chuckled. "Androids don't have tongues."
Later,in the mission briefing room,Chaos Lord said "I've seen enough.I'll get a mission for us tomorrow.You're free for the rest of the day."
Kasumi gave Jayce a hug and said "Dinner later?"
"Sure." Jayce replied.
Lita caught up to Jayce in the hall. "Hey,Jayce,can we talk?"
Jayce looked up at her with his mysterious red eyes,the height difference between them didn't bother either of them. "Sure,I've got awhile."
They walked side by side and Lita gazed down at him,she was comfortable about liking him,despite his 5 foot 8 height. "I was wondering about your eyes…"
Jayce looked up at her. "My eyes?"
Lita nodded,as they passed through a doorway.For a moment,her rather huge breasts pushed up against his neck and shoulders.Jayce and Lita blushed,but Lita asked "How come your eyes are red?"
Jayce smiled and said "That's the way they turned out."
Lita noticed that he didn't say that he was 'born that way'.She thought for a moment and asked "What were you like as a kid?"
As they came to a water fountain in the plaza,Jayce sat down on a bench and said "Pretty much the same as I am now.I grew up looking around a lab 24-7."
"So your dad was a reasercher?" Lita risked.
Jayce said softly "He was more than that."
Lita sat down next to him. "I grew up in a lab,but when I was created,I was fully grown already. It was odd being a 1 year old clone made from scratch and having this body all my life."
"It could have been much worse." Jayce said. "At least you look incredible." Then,Lita's ears perked up when he added "You could have ended up with my eyes."
Lita looked over at him,he was gazing at her,a lovestruck look in his exotic red eyes.He probably didn't realize what he'd just said.Lita found herself amazed by his cute looks and those red eyes that seemed to be hiding a secret of their own.She leaned a bit closer…
Jayce leaned closer,their lips had just begun to touch…
Chaos Lord cleared his throat. "I hope I'm not intruding…"
Jayce slipped and his face fell right into Lita's huge breasts,and on the day she was wearing a tight-fitting green tubetop,too.Lita blushed a bit,Jayce was blushing like crazy.Lita helped him sit up,their eyes met,and they both smiled bashfully.
Chaos Lord asked "Do you two want to be a team on the mission tomorrow?"
"YES!" was the reply.
The mission was routine.Investigate an abandoned lab on the outskirts of Neo Algo.As they approached the place,Jayce asked "What are we doing here?"
Chaos Lord said softly "We got reports of some Black Paper thugs going in and out of the place at odd hours."
Kasumi commented "The place looks dead."
Lita noticed that Jayce was clinging to her arm as if he was scared.He smiled up at her timidly.Lita smiled down at him and nodded.Jayce let go of her arm and took three steps forward.He paused suddenly,tilting his head to one side,as if hearing something.
"Uh-oh…this is bad." Kasumi moaned.
"What is it?" Chaos Lord asked.
Suddenly,Shard boomed "Agent!"
A man dressed in black leather ran out from behind a wrecked hoverbus and fired at them with a Lockgun.He had a Black Gear barrier strapped to his left arm.Kasumi dived for cover,the bolt flew over her head.Jayce activated his Pallasch saber and ran after the thug.The two went into the old lab.
Lita and Kasumi ran in after Jayce and the thug.Chaos Lord and Shard headed around to the back of the lab. "We'll try to cut off his escape route." Chaos Lord said.
Inside the base,Jayce held his Pallasch saber ready as the Black Paper thug advanced on him. "You're an odd one.Are you that eager to die?" He activated a yellow Gladius.He lunged forward,the Gladius and Pallasch clashed three times and Jayce stepped backwards a little.
"Just what are you looking for here?" Jayce asked.
"That's none of your concern." The Black Paper thug said. "But when I find it,you won't stand a chance against us anymore." He moved forward and swung his Galdius again.Jayce blocked and counter-attacked.The thug went backwards,and suddenly Lita ran up,her purple Buster saber flashing.The thug blocked that attack,and then Jayce's Pallasch sliced through his left hand,taking it off completely.The Gladius clattered to the floor.
"Don't be too sure." Jayce smiled.
The thug's eyes went wide. "You…you're…"
Just then,a wall exploded and Shard and Chaos Lord entered the room.The Black Paper thug zapped Kasumi and Lita with Gibarta ice,sending them sprawling.Shard brought up his Sniper rifle and fired,the thug took the bolt right in the forehead.Some blood sprayed out as he collapsed in a dead heap.
Chaos Lord said "Check the room out.Look for documents."
Jayce helped Lita stand up.Once again,as their skin touched,Lita felt a wave of emotion and excitement.Jayce was looking around the room,like a lost kid.Lita stood nearby him,wondering what he was thinking.Shard said "Found a file…something about a Special Weapon."
"Any more clues?" Kasumi asked.
Shard nodded. "Just a codename… 'Wildcat'."
Lita noticed that Jayce suddenly went stiff,his eyes wide.She hurried over to him. "Are you okay?"
Jayce's eyes found hers. "That name…I've heard it before." He began trembling. "Can we please leave?"
Lita looked to Chaos Lord,who nodded.Inside,Lita was wondering what Special Weapon Wildcat was…and why Jayce was terrified of it.
