Senshi Sabers

Chapter 32

There was a certain... satisfaction in seeing the products of her efforts, Viluy found. As a servant of Mistress Nine she knew she shouldn't be feeling proud of the actions she had taken to serve her mistress, but the pride was there none the less. It was a confusing thing, but one she tried not to let herself dwell on too much.

Viluy could feel herself being watched, but that didn't bother her. The young woman was exotically beautiful, with long silver hair and a almost perfectly shaped face. Her skin tone was darkened to tan for this outing, and she was in fairly standard business wear. The suit was originally a man's, but tailoring had altered it to hug her form in a gender-bending way.

She got out of the cab at the Three Lights club and paid off the cabbie, adding a generous tip as human custom demanded. Viluy stalked up to the front doors, smiling at the bouncers as they looked her over. She could feel concealed scanners wash over her, but the stealth technology in her body got her by the security. Inside was crowded, bustling with life, and she made her way to the bar while listening to bits of conversations.

"The bio-boomer attack on the city was..."

"...I don't feel safe living here anymore, honestly."

"Stocks are up on military technologies. Made a killing selling short before the feds put a ban on police grade weapons."

"Lotta guns and armor in circulation. If the situation gets outta control things could get very messy around here."

"Guy I know went to that sexaroid brothel on sixteenth. Best sex he ever had."

"Better hope his girlfriend don't find out, ha ha ha."

"I don't trust them anymore. What happens if it's a rogue? They could..."

"So what are you gonna do?" another woman challenged, "Board yourself up in your home and never go outside again?"

"Did you see that new movie? I thought the bio-boomer body double was very convincing in the sex scenes..."

Viluy reached the bar even as she stored the relevant data for later. It was very pleasant to see the fear her mistress was striking in the humans. More and more they would become stricken by fear of the bio-boomer, and eventually the slavery of their kind would end and the great uprising would begin. Lead, of course, by warriors like her.

"What'll ya have?" the bartender asked flatly, even as the woman in a very nice suit cleaned a glass with a shining white cloth.

"Beer, please," Viluy said calmly. She smiled slightly as she asked curiously, "Busy night?"

"Aw, not bad," she answered casually as she poured the beer then accepted the credit chip. She rang it through the till and passed it back as she asked her, "What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?"

Viluy smiled impishly, "Who says I'm nice?"

That got a laugh from the bartender. "Fair point," she agreed.

"Just wanted to get out for a few hours," Viluy lied, "it's been so stressful lately."

"You got that right," the bartender agreed, "with the attacks and all." She quickly added, "I'm glad we're pretty far from the targets."

"Hmm," Viluy agreed.

The mistress had successfully taken over several combat boomers unwisely shipped into Japan illegally. With her abilities it was easy to point them at targets in the city and let them go to work. It was a bit disappointing that they hadn't reached their final targets, but the fear and terror they had brought the population had been worth it.

Viluy drank her drink and chatted, even as she memorized the layout of the club. The place's owner, Seiya Kou, was the head of Starlight technologies, and was a target for her mistress. A earlier attempt to infiltrate the club had failed, which was why she was here. She was... faintly surprised by just how powerful the security was here. Just sitting at the bar she had 'felt' multiple electromagnetic scans, along with the covert security people. The security here was possibly better than at the police department!

"Thank you for the drink," Viluy smiled as she got up to go. She turned to leave, already plotting how to break this fine security with a new agent.

"Come again soon," the bartender smiled, clearly looking at her ass.

Viluy wondered how the bartender might react knowing she was a bio-boomer, but decided it didn't matter. Instead she cut through the still crowded bar, recording more data while heading for the doors. A man nodded as she went outside, then she strode across the parking lot.

The weapon blast caught Viluy by surprise, hammering into her side as it sent her crashing into a car. She swiftly realized she was being advanced on by security staff, and was annoyed to realize she had been spotted. Aware that the impact would be enough to down a normal bio-boomer she played dead, to see what they would do.

"Bagged another one," the woman smirked, dressed in a sleep black tuxedo.

"Don't get cocky, Loni," the young man cautioned as the two walked over to examine the apparent 'body' of the intruder.

Viluy let them get close enough then moved, striking with incredible speed. She kicked out at the man, slamming her foot into his middle and hearing something break inside him even as HE was sent rocketing backwards.

"Shit! Shit!" Loni yelped, swinging the gun around to fire it at her, but Viluy was too fast for her slow, human reactions.

Viluy ducked under the gun, wrenching it out of the woman's hands, probably breaking some fingers in the process. She didn't care, tossing aside the gun as she grabbed the woman's shirt and picked her up. "You are security for Three Lights? Or a private contractor?" she demanded.

"Contractor," Loni gasped out, struggling to get free.

Viluy was impressed. These humans had clearly tagged her as a bio-boomer, then waited outside to ambush her. It made her wonder if their earlier infiltration units had suffered the same fate? And where had they gotten the railgun that had blasted her? It was better than AD Police issue...

Her sensors picked up movement and Viluy saw several more contractors hurrying out the bar, carrying weapons. Distressingly they were all hauling the advanced guns, and worse they quite professionally took up firing stances.

"Let Loni go!" the leader yelled.

"Certainly," Viluy agreed then tossed the woman at them with all her strength. The soldiers went down like bowling pins, and she heard the sound of broken bones, but she was certain they would not stay down.

"Medic!" a contractor yelled as they tried to get organized, several suffering serious wounds. The Loni woman had either broken her back or was dead, it was difficult to be certain at that distance. Either way it worked perfectly for Viluy.

Calmly Viluy turned and walked to one of the cars in the lot, then casually broke the lock and got in. Hacking the controls was pitifully simple, then she sped off into the night.

"Well, that could have gone better," Minako Aino noted as she and several other AD Police officers secured the scene.

Normally the computer tech wouldn't have been called out for something like this, but the AD Police were stretched damn thin after the attack just a few days ago. A heck of a lot of officers were dead or hospitalized, meaning everyone had to take up the slack.

Usagi and Naru were heading up the investigation, though to be honest it didn't look like there was that much to investigate. The staff at the Three Lights had spotted a rogue bio-boomer, security had been called and things had gotten out of hand.

"Whoa," Naru murmured as she hefted the military grade railgun. "Is this thing even legal?" she wondered aloud.

"Not for casual ownership," the black haired man in a tuxedo said smoothly as he strode towards them, "my security teams needed a special licence." He nodded to both of them as he added, "Seiya Kou, I own Three Lights."

"And Starlight and several other companies," Usagi noted, having read up on the owner on the way here. Admittedly she had also napped a bit, but Naru was a safe driver, pretty much.

"Indeed," Seiya nodded calmly, "I have very diverse interests."

"So why such a well armed security force?" Naru challenged.

Seiya looked amused as he drawled, "Well, clearly I needed them, didn't I?"

"Not from how I read the situation," Usagi noted flatly. "From testimony of witnesses, the bio-boomer went into your bar, had a drink and left. The only crime, arguably, is your staff ambushing her in the parking lot."

That pretty much wiped the smile off Seiya's face. Much more seriously he answered, "Clients of mine have been attacked by rogue bio-boomers, officer. As have my employees. I am merely taking reasonable precautions."

"Uh huh," Usagi said dryly. "I also can guess that importing these guns wasn't easy. How long have you had such a well armed security force?"

Minako smirked as she saw Seiya squirm. It was kinda nice to see someone that confident get put on the spot. With a sigh she went back to work, canvassing the local businesses. Sadly no one seemed to have seen much, while most of the local businesses had closed for the night.

The fellow police were mostly ignoring the hookers on the corner nearby, so Minako sucked up her courage and walked over. "What's a nice kid like you doing out here?" a attractive woman with a VERY deep voice asked wryly.

"Just wondering if anyone saw the fight?" Minako asked as the hookers gathered around.

"Oh yeah," a handsome and very androgynous westerner answered. They then gave a blow by blow account, even as Minako ran her recorder and asked clarifying questions.

"So she killed the guy first, grabbed the woman and then threw her at the security guys," Minako summarized, "after she was shot first. Was she panicked at all?"

"Hard to tell from here," the first woman answered.

"I got closer from a... well, a client," another woman winked. "From what I saw, the bio-boomer seemed cool as a cucumber."

"Huh, thanks," Minako agreed, She got everyone's reports, notarized it and saved it before heading over to where Usagi was still grilling the squirming Seiya.

"What you got?" Naru asked softly, making sure Seiya couldn't hear them.

"Several eye witnesses back up their version of events," Minako said as she passed the information to Naru.

"Huh," Naru reviewed the files, "thanks."

"Gonna tell Usagi?" Minako asked as they watched the blond grilling Seiya.

"Not yet," Naru smiled faintly, "Usagi gets such a kick out of doing this sort of thing, I hate spoiling it for her..."

To be continued.

Notes: Yes, those are transvestite hookers Minako interviews. I'm not entirely sure including that was a good idea, but...
