"Mika come on!" Naizer called as she finished having a practice fist fight with Beluga.
"Right." She jogged over wearing a black tank top and jeans, coated in sweat.
"Good job. You were holding your own." He nodded. "Now let's practice with a weapon."
"Naizer." Jenos said walking up. "Shouldn't you give her a break. You've been training her nonstop all day yesterday and today. If you keep this up, she'll collapse."
"I can handle it." Mika frowned. "But if you're worried why don't you train me. And don't go easy." She smiled.
"Fine..." he pulled up his glove. "Try to dodge." He shot the strings forward and watched her dodge. Her eyes scanned the room as if she could keep track of the string. He sped them up, getting serious. He was shocked as she still managed to dodge.
"She looks like a cat." Beluga said calmly. They all watched her stumble.
"You okay?" Jenos called worried.
"Ye-Yeah..." She got up as he pulled the strings up. "I don't know what happened..."
Jenos helped her up. "You're probably just tired. You have been working hard."
"...Yeah I guess..."
"Go get some rest. You can train with a weapon later." Beluga nodded.
"Right." Mika nodded, but was interrupted as a man ran in.
"Naizer, sir... Ceberus is needed for a mission."
"Alright..." He took the card that had the information on it. "Get ready, we leave in an hour."
"But-." Jenos frowned looking at Mika.
"She can rest in the car."
"Don't worry about me Jenos." She smiled and followed Beluga out to get ready.
"...Jenos... Be careful, you are getting to attached to the girl."
"And you aren't?" Jenos asked calmly. "I could see you were starting to take it easy on her."
Naizer frowned. "... I don't show it as plainly as you do."
"... We just need to make sure she's fine... I don't really like her fighting." Jenos frowned. "We still have hardly trained her."
"It's true." Naizer nodded. "But there is nothing we can do about that... Now go get ready..." Naizer walked out.
Jenos sighed. "Alright..." He walked out to get ready.
"Alright... So who is the target?" Mika asked looking at the crowd of gang members.
"Taturo Kuros... The head of a big time mafia gang." Naizer said pointing out a man with long dirty blond hair wearing a suit. He was in the middle of the gang.
"Hmm... So what is the plan to get to him?"
"Knock on the front door." Jenos smirked. "Let's go." He said getting up.
"One moment Jenos." Naizer said calmly. "Mika, you need a weapon." He pulled out a small hand gun. "Use this, and stay close to us."
"Right." Mika said taking the gun. She then followed the rest of Ceberus down to the gang's hideout.
"Stick close." Jenos whispered to her as they walked up to the base.
Beluga pulled out his cannon and slammed it into the door, breaking it open. They then rushed in, knocking each of the guards aside easily. Mika was amazed at how easily they made it seem. And she was amazed at how natural it seemed to her as well. She knocked aside one of the guards, but blinked as she noticed the way he pointed a gun at Jenos' back from the ground.
"WATCH OUT!" She moved in front of Jenos as the gun shot fired.
Jenos froze spinning around. "Mi-." He paused as he noticed her wings protecting her body. Those things must be extremely hard... But they don't look like they are.
"Keep going!" Mika said unfolding her wings. She knocked the gang member down and then followed flying behind them.
Wow... Jenos thought as he ran. She's amazing. They paused seeing a man standing in the roof with all his guards.
"Well Cronos decided to send its assassins after me, I should feel honored." The man held up a gun and fired it.
Mika shot forward blocking it with her wings. Jenos, Beluga, and Naizer shot forward from behind her. They knocked aside the guards.
"Your time is up." Naizer said. He went to hit Taturo, but he dodged barely. He shot forward and aimed at Mika. She blinked as he suddenly fell.
"Mika you okay?!" Jenos rushed over. She looked down slowly at her hands and spotted the gun Naizer had given her, it was pointed straight at where Taturo had been.
"Did I... kill him?"
"You'll get use to it." Beluga nodded. "Come on... We can leave now..." He started to walk out.
"...I killed him..." Mika blinked shocked. She was amazed by how easily it had been to pull the trigger, and how easily she hadn't noticed it. At the same time she was scared, at how easily it had happened. At how easy it had been to take his life.
"Come on Mika." Jenos said placing a hand on his hand. "Don't worry about anything... We'll help you get through this."
"...Thank you Jenos." She sighed. "Come on or we'll be left behind."
"Right." Jenos smiled. "Come on, we all have gone through this before."
Mika followed and smiled. Jenos you are so kind. She paused as a thought came to her. It came so naturally... Does that have something to do with my past life, before I lost my memories? Who am I? Who was I? I want to know...
