Training and Sensing Danger Around
It has been two days since the official welcome party for the new members of Maken-Ki and the incident with the sudden bear attack, Raiden and the others are doing their best to keep up with what they do and all, like right now they're running around the track with Azuki running strong along with Inaho running by her side and Raiden is running a little behind them too.
"No, freaking way. Is that all you losers got?" Azuki asked seeing Takeru and Kengo running several feet behind and looking exhausted.
"Why don't you try to convince me your guys, pick it up!" Azuki demanded.
"(At least let them run at their own pace for a bit.)" Raiden thought feeling a little pity for those two.
"That's easy for you to say." Takeru said.
"What does running 50 laps around the school every morning have to do with being a member?" Kengo asked.
"If you start strong, you'll finish strong. We are constantly fighting battles here; stamina is extremely important." Azuki explained.
"That maybe true for some people, but not everyone started out that way as they go steady at first before pushing themselves." Raiden stated.
"Wh-Whatever, I'm just saying we need to always be on ready for any trouble in the school." Azuki said as she blushes a bit.
"You can do it, Takeru. Keeping moving!" Inaho cheered.
"I guess with the battles that happens sometime in this school, that would make sense." Takeru started to see that a little.
"Screw that, this goes beyond normal training exercises." Kengo disagreed.
Then suddenly Takeru and Kengo saw the big red throwing-star almost hitting them as it was thrown by none other than Chacha, she does this to motive the boys to move faster on their legs if they don't want to lose an limb or two which got them panicking to pick up speed.
Raiden couldn't help but laugh a little seeing the boys are going through such harsh training early in the morning as this reminds him of the training he went through as a child though it wasn't exactly a good childhood for him, and then he sudden felt his instinct telling him that danger is nearby. He looks around while still running trying to see where this danger is but couldn't find anything as the area seems normal.
"Hey Raiden, you're not starting to slow down on me, are you?" Azuki asked, noticing Raiden being distracted for a moment.
"Oh, it's nothing… just thinking about some stuff." Raiden said as he starts picking up speed a little. But deep down, Raiden knew his instinct warning is nothing to ignore.
Unknown to everyone running, hiding in a nearby tree is a small shadowy round figure with one glowing light.
(Security Committee Room)
The four new members are sitting next to each other on desk as Furan is about to give them a lecture about the Makens and other stuff they will need to know of the school.
"This may jump ahead of your other classes, so pay attention." Furan said tapping the whiteboard with the lessons written on it.
"A Maken is a special weapon whose use is only made possible through the individual powers we've been given. Because of this, the Maken we use are merely replicas." Furan lectured, she glares at Takeru and Kengo sleeping during the lecture while Raiden and Inaho listen.
Furan threw two markers at the sleeping boys so hard they woke up quickly.
"(Talk about a wake-up call.)" Raiden thought.
"Are you seriously falling asleep over there? I don't have to go over with this you, I'm being nice." Furan said angry as Takeru apologizes.
"Give them a break, Miss President, they're still not use to the early morning training and I think you should be a little more easy on them until they're able to catch up." Raiden vouched for the two pervert friends.
"Hush, I don't want to hear it." Furan said looking away.
"I have an idea. No running, but I'm pretty sure it'll wake you both up!" Yuuka said as she claps her hands together.
"(I don't think I'm gonna like what she's about to do.)" Raiden thought worried.
"Check this out." Yuuka lifted Furan's skirt from behind showing off the cute kitty picture on her butt, and that causes Takeru and Kengo's nose to bleed and excited.
"I knew it…" Raiden sighed.
"I love kitte-witties!" Inaho said mimicking a cat.
"I… I can't believe you just did that to me. What in the Hell is wrong with you?" Furan angered of embarrassment.
"Nothing, now you don't have to waste time making them run again. They're both awake." Yuuka pointed out though that only made Furan cried more of the embarrassment.
"(How exactly did she even ended up being part of this group?)" Raiden thought asked.
(Later)
Now the four are sitting on their laps in a small peaceful Japanese style room with Himegami walking behind them to keep a close watch on all, and by all it's mostly on the boys though she thinks Raiden maybe the exception.
"You must keep your body healthy. That's the only way to keep your mind healthy, but understand the reverse is also true, especially for boys who can't keep their minds out of the gutter." Himegami said, referring to Takeru and Kengo as they try to keep their mind focus.
"(Right, keeping control of you mind can help keep your other emotions in check, so that one can stay focus on the battle.)" Raiden thought as he recalls this lesson some time ago.
"Nice to see you all working hard." Aki said as she walks into the room, making Takeru and Kengo open their eyes on her.
"That whole point of the zed meditation is to accept whatever thoughts enter your mind. Make sense?" Aki explained as she bends down making her big boobs move and showing her cleavage.
"I think you just given these boys some more pervert thoughts for this meditation." Raiden whispered to himself.
And then he heard screaming from both boys, Raiden opens his eyes to see Takeru got electrocuted and Kengo's face got burn with an angry Himegami behind them as she states that they're not supposed to dwell on the dirty thoughts.
(Later, Dorm Room)
"Man, you guys sure like to train hard every day, do you?" Raiden commented.
"It's always exciting to keep doing stuff like that to get your blood pumping and be ready to kick some asses when they need to be kick!" Chacha said.
"I can see that, Principal Minroi mentioned about this school having their own problems with students causing trouble." Raiden mentioned as he reads his favorite manga.
"And that's also why this group was formed so we can stop troublemakers and help make everyone feel right at home." Kimi nodded as she brings put down a plate of tonight.
"Oh, thank you, and this looks good too." Raiden complimented before tasting the little meatballs which explodes the flavor in his mouth.
"I know, right? Kimi is way better at cooking than I am, sure I can make something that we can eat, but I always leave the cooking to Kimi." Chacha bragged.
"It's nothing special, it just something I picked up from my dad before coming to Tenbi." Kimi said and then she remembers something.
"Oh yeah, there's also going a… surprise coming here very soon." Kimi mentioned nervously as she goes back to the kitchen area.
"A surprise, what kind?" Raiden asked curious.
"Well, let just say that me and Kimi won't be the only ones sleeping with you for much longer." Chacha said holding in her laugh which confuses Raiden a bit.
A couple knocking on the door alerted the three and Chacha made her way to answer the door with a teasing giggle.
"Okay, what's going on?" Raiden asked as Kimi came back with three more plates of dinner.
"Oh, Raiden!" Chacha called out, getting the silver hair boy's attention.
"I hope you're ready to say to our newest roommate, Azuki Shinatsu!" Chacha revealed Azuki standing right outside with a bag over her shoulder and a briefcase.
This sudden surprise cause Raiden to gasps and drop his folk to the floor as he tries to understand what is happening right now.
"Someone… explain to me… now…" Raiden said shock.
"Look, I'm not moving in here just to get all buddy-buddy with you, I'm here so I can make sure you don't try anything on Chacha and Kimi just because you're the only boy in the room. I had to convince the Principal for this move, so take it up with her if you have a problem with it." Azuki explained.
"I'm pretty sure you want to see how manly Raiden looks when he's in the shower." Chacha teased.
"Shut up!" Azuki snapped.
"Okay, I think we should eat dinner now while their still warm." Kimi suggested hoping to calm the mood down.
Chacha and Azuki sat down on their chair and begun eating the dinner Kimi made, Azuki looks at Raiden with an intense stare and giving him the "I'm watching you" face with her fingers pointing at her to him. Raiden sweatdrops, feelings nervous about this new roommate who just so happens to be a senior member of Maken-Ki and a strong fighter too, he'll just have to hope to stay on her good side as this is going to be like this until graduation.
(Next Morning)
Gen is seen tapping on the keyboard of a large computer and he heard the door slide itself open revealing Raiden coming.
"Hey Raiden, thanks for coming." Gen greeted.
"You said it was urgent that I be here, good thing I already had breakfast this morning. So, something going on?" Raiden asked.
"Something weird you could say. Check this out." Gen popped up a screen showing a small little round machine with three arms.
"This was during your early morning training with the others, it seems that little guy was spying on everyone or perhaps more on you." Gen said.
"Are there any more of them?" Raiden asked.
"Yeah, a few more have been detected around schoolground though they haven't done anything dangerous to us… yet, and the last sighting I got is near Tenbi Mall." Gen informed.
"I'm not sure if they're here to find anything to use against us, but I believe if I can hack into one of those things then we may find out about these things and whoever sent them." Gen stated.
"So, you want to go destroy these little round bots but leave one alive for you. That should be easy enough." Raiden grinned.
"Don't get too cocky, Raiden. These little guys could be harder to find, and we don't even know the enemy behind them, so just be careful." Gen warned.
"Right, well, it's the weekend so I'll be doing the search now. I'll call you if I find anything else." Raiden said as he walks out of the room.
(Tenbi Mall)
Raiden is searching through the forest part of the area he's in as some of the trails of those little round bots Gen showed him have definitely come here and can tell that they might still be around too, he use the patch to detect any of the little machines around. The patch blinks red and Raiden quickly reacted by thrusting his sword backward almost like he's stabbing himself, but it was really to stab the little round bot that was about to attack him from behind.
"You're gonna have to be sneaker than that." Raiden said before dropping the bot and his patch detected more of the little bots coming around toward him.
"Um, looks like they were expecting me." Raiden pointed out as he is now surrounded by a few dozens of the little bots.
"Sounds like you walked into a trap, just remember to leave one intact for to analyze." Gen reminded him through the comm-link.
(Music: Japanese Forest Fight Theme)
Raiden ready his sword and smirks thinking these little guys should've brought more friends because this fight might not even be a warm-up for him.
Three little bots started the attack by jumping at Raiden who responses by cutting all three in half and kick one that was coming on his left, the little bots try to overpower the boy with this numbers piling on each other like a wave made of metal but Raiden slashes right through that wave with ease. The little bots that are standing on the tree branches are now throwing each at Raiden as he dodge and saw that they exploded upon impact, he dodges them while slashing away the other bots on the ground and decided to them a taste of their own medicine. Throwing few of the bots at the others on the tree knocked them down and Raiden's patch just picked up a new single.
'Whoa, Raiden! Something big is coming!" Gen alerted.
And suddenly, bursting through the trees down revealing a large machine-like creature that Raiden definitely recognizes.
"Two Metal Gear Gekkos?!" Raiden shocked.
"WHAT?! Metal Geasr, here? That can't be good, you better take care of it before it could cause any harm." Gen stated.
"Don't worry, my patch these Gekkos is alone, so I'll take care of them and these little bots." Raiden smirked.
The Gekko started mooing in rage, which is still the strangest thing for Raiden that a machine built on destruction moos like a cow and fire its machine guns at Raiden who deflected them with his quick flexes and sword as he runs around it. One little bot tried to catch him off guard only to be backhanded toward a tree and Raiden slashes at the other bots before jumping on one tree to launch himself toward Gekko 1 giving it a big slash on the head, Gekko 2 went to stomp Raiden, but he caught the foot and push it away. Gekko 1 charge at Raiden probably to ram him through some trees, he jump toward the head and stab his sword causing Gekko 1 to moo in pain before Raiden remove his sword and jump off to perform a super high-speed slash at Gekko 1 cutting it into dozens of pieces.
"Looks like you're all alone, what are you gonna do now?" Raiden asked Gekko 2.
Of course, Raiden knew it answer would be mooing angry and attack him again with its machine guns that he deflects them easily while running toward Gekko 2, he kicks it on the side making the head spin once and starts slashing the thing into pieces like the last one.
"We're done here." Raiden said before putting his sword away as the pieces of the two Gekkos explodes.
(Music End)
"Gen, I took care of the Metal Gears." Raiden reported.
"Thank God, I'm not sure if Tenbi will be ready to handle something like that soon." Gen sighed of relief.
"Against the major ones, but I'm they can handle the small fries fine." Raiden said as he walks to the little bot he knocked away and pick it up seeing it still intact.
"Maybe, but I think something is coming and we need to know what we're dealing with." Gen pointed out.
In the far distance looking through a binocular, a woman is looking right at Raiden who is walking away with the little bot heading back toward the school, she chuckles with a smirk.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
It looks like Raiden was right to suspect something is going on in the school and seeing those little robots along with two Metal Gears trying to kill him proves that something is up, he'll have to be on guard for whatever danger is coming to him and hope to keep his friends from that danger though know that they'll be involve in it somehow.
