First off, I would like to explain my delay. I have had writers block. Secondly, I would love to thank TunelessLyric, without whom's reviews I'd be aimlessly rambling. Without further ado, here's the show you payed for!

"Yes sir," came Phyllis's voice.
"Director, I could have beat them!"
"That is NOT the reason I stopped the match Carolina, and you would be wise to not talk back to me, or to question my decisions. This concerns Hawaii, and Hawaii only."
Rob felt like he wanted to dig a hole and die in it. It seemed like even his super-cool looking armor couldn't hide his shame.
"Y-yes, Director?"
"Agent, follow me."
North wished him luck on the way out, and Carolina made a comment about him being a son of a bitch. Making their way through the halls, Rob thought this a great time to tell the Director how much he loved the flashy, yet moderate, bare metal walls, but decided better of it when he realized the Director could have him killed. The Director decided to walk as he talked.
"Phyliss has had her eye on you since you got here, agent, and we know that you are a proficient warrior in everything but hand to hand combat."
"Was that not obvious enough in the arena?" came Robs boastful yet shameful statement. It was true, he had done quite well in the marksmanship, but had failed miserably in the hand to hand.
"Quiet. Self-criticism leads to exertion. I cannot afford to have any of my agents out of duty."
"If I may ask sir, why exactly did you stop the match?"
"To talk to you."
"Well, that is rather obvious, but it's also fairly obvious that you haven't gotten to the point yet. What is your point, Director?"
"Be more cautious with how you speak in the future, agent. You have been scheduled to receive an AI, count yourself fortunate."
"Yo, dude, just heard the good news. Congrats, dude."
After turning off his external audio, Rob was able to reply. "Do you have to listen to everything I do?"
"Well, yeah dude, it's kinda my job."
"I thought your job was to monitor those color troops, what were they, blue vs red battles?"
"C'mon dude, it's red vs blue, it just sounds stupid if you say it backwards. "
"Agent Hawaii, I would appreciate it if you would turn off your helmet when you are supposed to be paying attention to me," came the Director's suddenly not so friendly voice.
"Yes sir. I apologize for my actions."
"Consider yourself lucky, next time there WILL be a punishment. You may return to your duties, or your match, whichever you prefer."
Rob suddenly realized that he was being punished, he had not intended to go back to the arena, but now that the Director had said so, how could he not? He made it back to the Arena to find that everyone but Carolina had gone, who was practicing her accuracy, clearly troubled about what happened in the match.
"Hey," came Rob's voice, scaring Carolina into shooting herself in the foot. "care to resume the match?"
"What, without your friend North?"
"I was thinking just you and me, Carolina. Just you, and me. "
"Phyliss, choose a randomized match setting with a randomized arena along with randomized weaponry."
"Yes, Agent Carolina. Round Chosen, elimination on Jungle Arena 05 with two magnum pistols each. Begin round." The arena was from one of Rob's wildest dreams, steamy and misty, with trees as far as you could see. He quickly picked up his magnums and began hunting. He wasted valuable ammo and probably his location when he shot at a few leaves rustling in front of him. Meanwhile, Carolina had turned her armor to a green color, blending in with the foliage, and making hardly a sound as she ran through the jungle. Rob, however, was a loud, stumbling, cursing bright blue figure in a sea of green. The match ended quickly, with Carolina simply hitting him over the head with the butt of one of her pistols.
"Round complete, tiebreaker point awarded to Agent Carolina. Might I just say Carolina, that was a wonderful match."
"That was sneaky Carolina, using armor equipment. You know I don't have any of that."
"There are no rules in warfare moron. Besides, it's not like I have an AI."
"not like I have an AI" kept running through Rob's head for the next few days. Why was he scheduled to have an AI when she wasn't? This just didn't make sense. The time to get his AI approached, and North met him outside the hospital wing to wish him luck.
"Listen man, it's all gonna be ok. There aren't any side effects, and an AI is nothing but good luck. It also shows that the director has a lot of faith in you if he's willing to give you one."
The last thing Rob could remember was counting down for the doctors.
"20, 19, 18, 12 and a hal-"
"Jese, the mess really did a number on him. He skipped 17 through 13!" came the worried medic's voice.
"Don't worry about it, the Director ordered a better batch for mr Hawaii here."
The strangest thing was hearing two different voices speaking at the same time.
"YoHidudetherehowimyouChidoing?its a pleasure to meet you Agent Hawaii." With that, Hawaii fell asleep again. When he woke up again, there was only one voice.
"Hello Agent Hawaii, my name is Chi. I am your AI unit. I apologize for the over stimulation, you were receiving input from both me as well as your radio and I should have realized it would have been better to wait."
"Hey Chi. So, you're gonna be staying with me for a while, huh?"
"It would appear so."
North's confident voice appeared, along with a few others in the background.
"Hey buddy, how you feeling? If the AI is doing his job, he's probably trying to keep you awake. "
"Uh, yeah. That was definitely my goal," came the voice in his head.
The background voices became clearer now.
"Why did HE get an AI? Who does the Director think he is, giving the newbie an AI when IM the one who's been in the program for YEARS?! HUH?!"
"That's South, my twin sister. First she was mad because I'm better than her in about every way possible, but now my friend getting an AI has set her over the edge. Guilt by association man, guilt by association."
"He has a point Hawaii, he and South ARE twins and she has been struggling to keep up with him on the leaderboard. You are, I believe, number seventeen. For being the newest recruit, that is fairly good, and Agent South clearly considers you competition."
"Seventeen, huh? Who's last?"
"I believe her name is Agent Delaware," replied the shy-ish voice in his head. "The fact that Agent South has not yet received an AI has not helped her self-esteem much."
Another familiar yet monotonous voice made it's entrance. "Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to step outside, your emotions are beginning to control you."
"Alpha 1? Is that you?"
"Agent Hawaii, good to know the fastest rising star remembers me. If you'll excuse me, I have an appointment to keep." With that, he escorted South out of the room.
North walked Hawaii back to his room, as he was a bit tipsy from having received so much medication. Chi kept trying to keep him awake ( Something about the long term effects of sleep on the brain? ) but the moment Hawaii's head hit the pillow, he was out like a light.
He awoke four hours later to Chi's voice in his head, reminding him that it was time to get up. Captain Obvious. The AI, being able to hear his thoughts, took offense.
"Well, excuse me for attempting to keep everyone from thinking you'd gone AWOL!"
"You're right Chi, but I think I'll risk it for a bit more sleep."
"No you won't."
"Yes I will."
"No you won't."
"Yes I will."
"Look, we can keep on doing this until you become annoyed enough to punch yourself in the back of the head, or you could get up. There is only one correct answer Hawaii."
"Fine. I'll get up."
"Excellent. I took the liberty of securing a sparring match with agents Nevada, ranking number twenty, and Utah, twenty two."
"What? I don't need any sparring training."
"I beg to disagree Hawaii, you
Showed exemplary talent
In everything BUT hand to hand combat."
"GO AWAY."
"I'm sorry, but that is not physically possible," came Chi's voice, becoming visible for the first time as a dark blue soldier with ripply effects racing across his body. It was calming but alarming at the same time.
"Woah! Who are you?"
"Have you never seen an AI before Hawaii? It is me, Chi."
"Ah. I don't know about you Chi, but Im gonna go to the mess and get a banana."
Chi's laughter was a rich, contagious laugh, but he spoiled it by explaining why he was laughing.
"You see Agent Hawaii, that is humorous because when you first got here all the mess gave you was a banana! It is common sense to laugh in a situation like this."
"Chi, you don't have to explain yourself, I made that joke hoping to get you to laugh. It was fairly obvious to me, though that might just be because I was the one telling the joke."
"Yo, dude, how are ya feeling? That little blue dude cut me off during our conversation before, it took a while before he finally lowered his firewall. By my watch, not until seventeen seconds ago, dude."
"Vic, meet Chi. Chi, Vic."
"Yo, little dude, pleasure to meet you."
"And you as well, my tall friend."
"If you'll excuse us Vic, my new friend and I have a training match to attend."
Just having Chi there made all the difference. Within the first five seconds he would have been down if not for Chi's warning in advance.
"Dodge right! Quick! Uppercut! Down left!"
With Chi on his side, he beat the two agents 15 points to zero.
"Hawaii, I have just received notification that we are to go on a new assignment. Your first, I believe."
"Alright Chi, where are we going?"
"We are going to an outpost known as Blood Gulch."
"Yo, dude. Heard my turf being named, be careful with the boys down there. Try to wound em, not kill em. They're good men, and while they are pretty stupid, they haven't done anything to deserve dying over. Yet."
"Alright Vic, I never really pictured you as the caring type, but I'll do my best."

Thanks for reading! I hope you all haven't lost interest by this point, I promise something fun will happen in the next chapter!
