Infinite Stratos – Prologue – Part 5
A New Mechanical World
AN! – Remember to vote on the poll for Allan's 'harem' members. I'm still interchanging my SAO and IS polls. So, keep on the lookout. Everyone that's interested make your choices! :)
After the drama of yesterday, both Akira and Allan were now determined to escape this hell hole and find freedom in the outside world. The two awoke earlier than usual and began work on their respective suits.
Allan was in one corner of the work space working on the repulsors of his suit, sweat beating his brow as he carefully welded the parts together carefully on mistake by either of them could mean the plan was over.
Akira was in another corner of the workshop, both out of sight of any security monitors as they did their best to hide their work from Phantom Task, this was their last chance for their final escape.
"How are you doing over there?" Allan asked his companion. "Coming along, after a few minutes we can begin data transfer and start 'em up." Akira replied to her boyfriend.
After a few more minutes of working both of them put on the finishing touches on their suits and stood back to look at their work.
Allan's suit was a red and gold combo, with a sleek, mechanical appearance, a hole in the center where his "core" would stand was left open as soon as he put the suit on it would become one with his "heart".
Akira's suit was vastly different with a black, silver and red color scheme, it held a more feminine appearance, almost similar to Allan's the suit had the core inside the chest piece and would act as a life-support system for the user. It also held a chain-gun mounted on its shoulder.
In Phantom Task's security room…
Two of Phantom's men watched as they looked at the captors worked and saw that what they were building was absolutely no what they were told to build, however them men were conflicted on how to respond when the door to the room opened.
Madoka, Squall's second-in-command walked inside and looked at the monitors, the men behind her couldn't see her expression, but if anyone did they would see that she held a look of surprise and panic on her face. Something she was never known for.
"Send men down to the prisoner corridor!" Madoka ordered loudly. The men from before were frightened and hesitated. Madoka annoyed of their indecisiveness took out her pistol and executed both of them…
*BANG, BANG! *
"Useless," Madoka replied looking at the dead men on the floor, she walked over to the console and pushed a set of commands and suddenly an alarm sounded signaling a prisoner escape.
Back in the Cell…
"Time's up you ready?" Allan asked his lover one last time as he knew this was their last chance.
"With you, always." Akira responded in kind as the sound for the data transfer was complete and the two walked over to their respective suits and put them on, mechanical whirring could be heard as both suits came to life.
Just in time, Phantom Task soldiers ran down the corridor quickly, however when they attempted to enter the room, they were met with an enormous explosion that killed the first squad that was sent, all of them dead from the blast.
"Good thing, we rigged the door when we did." Akira let out a sigh of relief.
"That mean's second squad's just behind them, get ready." Allan replied as the smoke in the room started to die off, the lights in the room were destroyed so the room was dark.
When the second squad arrived, they turned on their nigh-vison goggles to see where the prisoners were when they were heard a weird sound…
Suddenly a sound of something charging stopped and before they knew most of the squad was on the ground, unconscious…
One of the soldiers that escaped the energy blast got up and tried to attack but was met with the whirring of a chain-gun and was ripped to shreds in seconds from a short burst of gunfire.
"Alright let's go." Allan said as the two activated their boosters and both of them flew out of the room, at first the flying was shaky and hard to get used to but the both of them stabilized and were able to fly steadily.
"What now?" Akira asked.
"JARVIS, which way?" Allan asked the AI in both of their suits.
"JARVIS, who's that?" Akira inquired of her partner.
"That would be me, madam I am Mister Stark's AI assistant, he installed me into both of your suits during the upload process, I promise I'll assist you in your escape, now Mr. Stark to answer your inquiry you must proceed to the left and then turn right once more and you should see a large security door." The AI responded and made his appearance known.
"When did you make him?" Akira asked. "Oh, him? He's a hand-me down from grandpa, he's never let us down. No come on!" Allan replied as the two now began flying the path Jarvis told them of.
After flying through multiple squads of PT soldiers they finally came upon the door they were told about.
"Great, now what?" Akira asked. "Now your just full of questions, today aren't you?" Allan questioned his partner teasingly. "This isn't funny Allan!" Akira responded a little mad at her boyfriend's joke.
"Stand back." Allan said as Akira began to back away she saw Allan tucked in his chest and could see that his core was gathering energy at its center.
"What are you…" She started to question when Allan let off a large blast and created a hole in the door before them.
"What was that!?" Akira questioned, looking at Allan's status on her HUD screen she saw he was now at only 50% power.
"Mr. Stark that blast has drastically drained your power supply, you are now at 50%." Jarvis replied to the status update.
"Yeah, I can FEEL it Jarvis, thanks." Allan kneeled for a few seconds and got up. The two then flew outside to see a massive number of soldiers pointing their weapons at them. Then all of the fired at once, the pair barely flinching as they stood in place.
After the hail of gunfire, the two then replied in unison, "Our turn." The pair then fired mini-dart missiles and the soldiers from before where flown across the field and explosions triggered chain reactions everywhere around the base camp.
JARVIS then replied, "Sir, I've completed my scan of the location and have found out yours and Ms. Akira's location, you are located on one of China's artificial islands that've been abandoned. Only 1,000 kilometers away from the coast of the Island of Kyushu. I've also sensed a nearby JSDF Maritime patrol fleet."
"Any carriers in the vicinity?" Allan asked the two flew away from the island and to freedom finally.
"Yes, the carriers Akagi and Yamamoto are part of the fleet they are due northeast of your current locations. You both should able to make it with your current power supply. Also, you are currently being pursued. Watch your left. The AI suddenly informed Allan, who took a hit from his left to see that it was in the shape of a black butterfly.
"That's the… Silent Zephyrus. That IS was stolen from England, so I guess we know where that went." Allan replied seeing their pursuer behind them.
"What do you we do?" Akira questioned. "We'll to stop her, if I can get behind her I can tear off one of those wings and slow her down." Allan answered.
"Then let me be the distraction, I'll draw her fire and you can flew in from behind." Akira replied as they both turned and stopped to face their attacker.
"After me, you bitch!" Akira then began flying towards /Madoka and the two grappled for awhile while Allan began flying around the two. Madoka noticed the obvious trap and then kicked her opponent away from her.
"Enough games." Madoka replied under her mask. She then drew out a longsword, that started to emit a dark purple energy aura around it.
"Damn it, Jarvis any suggestions?" Allan inquired of the AI.
Jarvis began scanning the enemy IS and noticed one of the only weaknesses of the weapon. "Sir, her weapon is connected to the pilot's physical contact if you can disarm her you could potentially get behind her a destroy her wings. She also has defensive shield bits connected to her IS suit." The AI gave its analysis.
"Alright, take that sword and she has nothing, got it. Akira, change in plans you need to get her from behind. I'm gonna say hi to our new friend. When her sword is gone, that's when you strike." Allan told Akira as the two came up with a plan.
"Alright, let's do it." Akira responded as she started to give the pair a wide berth between them. Looking for her opportunity, she watched the two battle it out.
Allan charged at Madoka and began to fire multiple repulsor blasts at the Phantom Task agent, which she easily deflected with her shield bits. Not even raising her sword, she to advanced on her opponent looking to end the fight quickly.
The two collided as Madoka let off multiple swings, Allan was able to avoid on some of them and received some minor damage from others.
This pattern continued as Allan finally caught his opening, Madoka slashed downwards to finish off her opponent and then with as much strength as he could he grabbed the blade between the palms of his suit.
"Gotcha." Allan replied at the triumph. Then Madoka let off a grin beneath her mask and suddenly the blade began to give way in Allan's hands and he began to lose his grip on the blade.
"Jarvis, re-route all power to the arm and leg hydraulics!" Allan ordered the AI as he suddenly was able to stabilize the situation, his saving grace appeared when Akira appeared from behind and flew into Madoka's backside and with all her strength began to rip apart the IS's wings.
Madoka tried to shake off her ambusher, but between the two she couldn't find an opening and after a few more seconds, Akira managed to rip off the Zephyrus's right wing which began to spark, and electricity began to shoot out.
Madoka then starts to lose control slightly and the Iron duo released themselves from their opponent. Madoka is forced to fly back to the hideout, knowing full well that Squall won't be happy.
After that the Iron duo then continue flying towards the location of the JSDF fleet in the area. They're elated when they see two large aircraft carriers in the distance. When…
"Warning. Power level at 5% Danger of losing altitude." An emergency display appeared on Allan's HUD as he realized the damage he sustained from earlier was catching up.
"Oh, shit not now. Oh **** it, Jarvis, re-route all power to thrusters." Allan simply ordered. "But you could lose control." Akira warned him.
"You only live once, see you on the other side." Allan said as his suit's thrusters shoot off and the carrier came even closer in the distance, when Allan had miscalculated…
"Oh sh…" Allan suddenly lost all power and took a nose dive towards the carriers' deck. The soldiers on board saw the incoming object and moved out of the way as quick as they could. Allan landed with a loud boom and Akira landed on the deck shortly thereafter.
The captain of the JS Akagi, ran out to the deck to see the two strange mechanical suits only to see he head plates open on both and the crew were stunned to see who it was…
"Um, permission to come aboard?" Allan asked embarrassingly scratching the back of his head. Only to be spun around by his partner and immeaditely be lip-locked with her. Getting into it he put his arms around her and the two released each other.
The two had suffered for some time and now they were finally free…
Where their next journey took them was a ride they would never forget…
