Chapter 6: Ironclad
The new couple head back into the train. The hostess is aiding the other passengers with snacks and drinks to see a man with a cap looking down at the floor. "Sir you need something," she asked.
"Yeah," he said pulling out a Silver Talon magnum pistol at her face with a look of shock and fear covering her face. "You can die for me, one of the Iron Legion," the Iron Legion member said to blast her in the head. The crack of the gunshot echoed within the train car.
"Time to reap these bastards' boys and girls," one of the Iron Legion goons said as they started mowing down train passengers. The duo duck behind the seats to see Iron Legion troopers wielding Silver Talon magnum pistols, Lexington auto pistols, Carnage shotguns, and Ajax assault rifles.
"Iron Legions, here. We are in the middle of a terrorist attack," Ayaka grabs a knife from the fallen snack cart and stabs a nearby terrorist in the neck. V uses his arm blades to slice into nearby terrorists to drop them onto the floor.
"You got to be kidding me," V said as he grabbed the Silver Talon 10mm Magnum heavy pistol to fire headshots to blow holes in their heads.
Ayaka takes the bullpup machine pistol called a PDW 12 holding 45 rounds of 5.7x28mm and blasts several Neo-Nazi thugs in the head. "Time to grab the guns," she said using her PDW-12 to burst fire into incoming Iron Legion grunts.
V takes an Ajax while Ayaka takes a Carnage. She aids V in securing the train cars. They hear screams in the other vehicles and rush in to see a female terrorist shooting an old man in the head.
"More disgusting Jap bastards, kill them," the Iron Legionnaire noticed the two Japanese Solos Ayaka and V shooting them down.
"Kill the Nips now," an Iron Legion said as they opened fire on them. Their durable skins tank the rounds with ease to fight them back.
"Nips and Japs, gee racist much," V said dryly as he uses his Silver Talon to blast them in the head while using his Apogee Sandy to dodge their attacks while returning fire wiping them out.
"These disgusting people need to be purged," Ayaka said as she blasted her in the head to turn it into a red mist. Ayaka fires her PLS to unleash a powerful EMP blast to stun them while she uses her combat tail to spear and slice into their bodies.
V gets behind a chair to pop a few bullets into the chest of the Iron Legion militant. V fires his pistol to take one out while Ayaka grabs a knife off a tray and thrusts it into the back of a wounded enemy grunt.
They cleared the car to see some of the surviving people who were scared about the current crisis. "Don't worry we are Arasaka agents, we will take care of things here," Ayaka is trying to calm down the people for them to go forward to another train car.
They see more dead civilians lying on the floor as the train goes even faster to the tracks. "We got a problem," V aid as someone tags them with Recon grenades to get nailed in the head with charged shots.
"Guys, thank goodness you are okay," Cho appears holding a tech revolver called the Genan which is a new Arasaka revolver holding two powerful slugs that can punch through tough enemies. It is a pocket sniper in terms of uses on the battlefield.
Cho unloads the gun in a break-action fashion to slip in two slugs to crack the gun back into place.
"Good to know you are here," Ayaka said as she disabled the limbs of a terrorist to pull him in with her grapple hook to snap their necks.
"What is happening?" he asked.
"We got a problem alright, they got a bomb and are going to shove it into the station when they crash," Cho said.
"What?" Ayaka asked as she set several enemies on fire while shocking others to death with her Arasaka Shadow cyberdeck.
"Never the dull moment when you are around," V said as the three Solos kept going to the front to stop the train from becoming a bomb. They clear out the rest of the Iron Legion within the train car.
Ayaka looks down at the corpse of an Iron Legion terrorist to see she is holding a piece of paper. "Oh no, they got a radioactive bomb in the train and are going to ram it into the train station. Killing thousands in the process," she said as the group was shocked by this.
"Oh shit," V said as they moved faster through the train cars.
"Get rolling, stop them from detonating that dirty bomb in the train station," Cho said as Arasaka operatives blew through groupings of terrorists.
Cho ducks behind a broken chair to switch to her Lexington to shoot them in the head with precise shots. V shoots his Ajax at more incoming enemies putting them down. "Man, this is crazy. Turn that train station into a radioactive melting pot," V said.
"Not when we stop them," Cho said as she wielded her machine pistol to pepper Iron Legion terrorists into fresh corpses. Then two cyberdogs appeared and they leaped at them.
Cho fires into the first one to destroy it but the second one manages to tackle Cho to lose her pistol in the mess. Cho sidesteps the robotic dog and kicks it into a wall while V blasts it with his assault rifle. The round slice through the head of the robotic attack dog to see the headless body flop onto the floor.
"Thanks," Cho said for them to continue into the next train car.
"No problem," V said as they kept firing at several terrorists to put them down. V uses his sandy to go forward to speed up to use her pistol and Mantis Blades to tear apart the enemies to leave a path of destruction behind him.
They go into the front car to see a weird-looking bomb in the middle of the car. Ayaka approaches the bomb to quickly disarm the bomb with her cyberdeck. "Okay, we managed to take them out, and the dirty bomb is defused," Ayaka said.
"Good work, this is troubling. We need to nail this in the bud," V said as he went into the front car to see the operator was dead with a bleeding hole in the head. He presses the control to make the train stop in the middle of a field.
"What a ride," Cho said dryly.
"Indeed, we stop those bastards," Ayaka said.
"Sadly, people were murdered by these monsters all on Militech's wallet," V said as they arrived at the central hub station with the police securing the station and making sure the lines went on smoothly.
"Brutal stuff," Cho said as Ayaka talked with the officers to tell them they were Ayaka agents from the Dove faction which let them out and honored their work.
"Yeah, we did our job. Let the security forces handle this," she said
"Well, that was a shit job. I need to bounce out of here," Cho said as Ayaka kissed him on the lips.
"You were amazing honey. A powerful Solo indeed," she said as this got her hearts going.
"Well, your beauty mixed with your skills is a sight to behold," V flirted and complimented her skills.
"Wait a minute, when did you two become a couple?' Cho asked confused.
"Not too long ago. We are together now," Ayaka said as V looked at her rear to place his hand on her left cheek.
"Damn straight," V slaps her on the butt to make her jump.
"Oh dearest, so rough. Gets my womanhood going," Ayaka said.
"Well, the old bird got herself a man finally. Good to hear this. We should split and watch this play out," Cho said as they split up with the couple into the AV to fly off to the penthouse.
Within the hour, V moved into Ayaka's room to sleep together in her large bed. All his stuff is put in drawers within the spacious room. Ayaka strips out of her outfits to only be in her purple bra and panties while uncurling her high ponytail to let it run loose on her back looking like a sheet of silver silk.
"I am so happy you chose me to be your girlfriend, honey," she said coming up to give him a big hug to press her large breasts into her chest while giving him a big kiss on the lips.
"Well, we are in it in the long term, time to make it official," V said.
"About damn time," she said to slip in a kiss on his lips to place her hand under his shirt to feel his warm chest. "Putting your faith in this old bird," Ayaka said.
"That old bird is very impressive beside I prefer older women anyways. Such grace, maturity, and motherly kindness get me going," he said to kiss her on her naked neck.
"Motherly, you got a mommy kink darling?" she teased him to lay her head onto his shoulder. Her hair smells like cherry blossoms to bury his face into her silver hair.
"Maybe, your tenderness is welcomed," V said.
"I try my best honey," Ayaka said kissing him on the cheek as one of the robotic guards holding a Masamune showed up.
"Lady Ayaka, no intruders detected," the robotic trooper said.
"Good, keep your patrols outside," Ayaka ordered.
"Of course," the robot guard goes outside
"Guards huh?" he asked.
"Yes, they operate from the housing unit on the grounds and drones to keep watch if anyone dares to come into my home. We don't need troublesome Edgerunners trying to steal my 5000 Eddies worth of underwear," Ayaka joked as V had a perplexing look on his face. "I am kidding, 7500 eddies worth of underwear," she said lightly.
"Gee that much?" he asked as she leaned in with her cleavage in front of his face.
"Of course, how can I woo my boyfriend if I don't have the right undies to get you going like the ones I am wearing now," she said in a flirty tone.
"Yeah, it's working," V said as he feels his cock getting hard and big from the sight of her sexy silk underwear.
"Damn right it is," Ayaka said as she kisses him on the lips. "So, we got a recent contact with the FSA government to deal with their terrorism problem. The Iron Legion," Ayaka said.
"Neo Nazi scumbags," V said.
"Indeed, we are going to seek out their HQ and wipe it out allowing the government to feel secure and we will be closer to the people of the FSA. We are pushing some weapons and vehicles to aid in the FSA's defense against Militech and the NUSA," Ayaka said as she pulled out her tablet to look at the news reports on the net.
"Can I look at your trophy room?' he asked.
"Oh sure, enough of that dark stuff. I will show you some of the top mementos I gathered throughout the years," she said to take his hand to guide him to the trophy room. "Keep your eyes on my honey," she said making her wide hips swaying back and forth making V unable to break his focus on her bountiful booty.
"Here it is, the spoils of my life," she said to open the door to see a room filled with things throughout her 105-year-old lifetime.
"Wow, so much stuff here,"
"It's not just stuff. All my achievements I gathered and collected I store here," she said as she pointed to a medal. "This is the Japanese Medal of Honor gifted to me by the Emperor himself," she said.
"For real, the Japanese Emperor?" V asked.
"Yes, I took a bullet to the head from a sniper who wanted to assassinate the emperor. My Dragon Silk skin weave blocked it and I saved the emperor. This was when Arasaka gained great sympathy from the Japanese people," Ayaka said.
"I heard about it on the news but you did that. Crazy Preem," V said sounding impressed.
"Indeed. Then there is my old training sword when I was 14 years old, I wanted to practice my swordsmanship and then become a sword mistress 2 decades later," she said.
"Wow, this is very worn out but well preserved," V said as he looked at a photo of Ayaka and younger Michiko. "You and Lady Michiko," he said.
"Oh yes, she was 21 when we first met. We shared a vision for making a difference in the world. From then on we became sisters/friends. She always looked for me for guidance like a big sister," she said as she looked at an old knife.
"What is that?" he asked.
"I used this knife when I first got into Arasaka when I became Solo of the company in 1992. I used it early in my career to kill the company's enemies," she said.
"A colorful career," V said looking at an old blue Kimono which has purple flower patterns. "very beautiful," he said.
"Yes, I used that when I got into a festival for Arasaka Dove Faction. It was a turning point when I became a Solo attached to the Dove and Michiko's vision of Arasaka. I never left her side since," she said.
"Interesting, the richness of history here is vast," he said, overwhelmed by it.
"Being alive since 1977 is quite the journey, I got time to share my story with you, my love," she said as she was contacted by an operator via holo call.
"Hello there, I need you and V to go on a mission. There is a safehouse located on the outskirts of Sacramento. We need you two to go and raid the house. Kill their Iron Legion members and find data useful to us," the operator said.
"Cool, okay honey. Time to get to work," Ayaka said.
"Right back at you princess," he said using her new pet name making her hearts flutter from his sweet words to go to the armory to grab their weapons.
Ayaka is using a Shigure SD which has a red dot sight, and laser sight along with a suppressed Nue pistol. V is getting a Tsunami Tech Assault Rifle called the Tengu which only when you charge up the gun first to unleash an insane fire rate along with a 54-round rectangle magazine lying flat on the left side along with a Crusher 10-gauge full auto shotgun.
"Time to get moving," V said.
"Yes sir," she said playfully as they got into their combat gear. They went outside to wait until an Arasaka AV showed up to head for the chosen location. Night came over the city as they were going to the outskirts of the huge capital city.
"Time to get some payback from that train attack," V said as they hovered near the chosen building to leap onto the ground.
"Good luck, call me if you need backup," the AV pilot said on the radio.
"Well do, come on," V said to take point.
"Right behind you sweetheart," she said to wield her Shigure SD to see the quad stack magazine holding 50 rounds of 9mm. They approach the three-level building to see there is a bunch of neo nazis inside. "Those bastards are there," she thought to zoom in with her cyber optics.
"You will hit them up top while I crash through the front door to draw their attention," V said sneaking to the front door. Ayaka jumps on top of cars to use her grapple hook from her arm to latch onto the ledge of a window.
She jumps through the window to tackle the Iron Legionnaire snapping her neck and killing her instantly. She swiftly pulled up her Shigure SD to take out the four enemies without breaking a sweat. She uses an Overheat to burn down the last one before moving forward. "I am in," she said.
"Preem, time for my entrance," V smashes through the door to catch the Iron Legionaries by surprise via using his Apogee Sandevistan blasting them with the full auto shotgun to see their heads getting blown off.
His special subdermal armor Chitin allows his body to shrug off damage from buckshot and bullets while dodging the attacks. He pulls out a shock grenade to unleash a powerful blast of electricity to zap them to death.
Ayaka uses her Cyberdeck to Ping several targets within the house. He pulls out his Tengu to hold down the trigger to charge it up before letting the small slugs rip through the houses to take out the targets through walls and ceilings hearing them dropping onto their pools of blood.
"What the fuck is going here?" the Iron Legionnaire questioned as slugs punch through the floor to kill off his comrades.
"We are being invaded. The Jap bastards are here," the woman soon gets her head blown off as they both clear up the levels with their weapons and Cyberware.
"Seems like there are more down in the basement," she said as they went down the stairs with V using his Sandy to speed down the stairs to get shot at easily tanking the hits. He activates his Optical Camo to disappear to begin using her Mantis Blades to tear into their bodies.
Ayaka drives her Mist Slicer into the chest of the Iron Legion member to use his body as a meat shield to eat up the waves of bullets. She latches a grenade onto its back and kicks the corpse at the group to let out a big explosion killing them all.
"Good work Princess, Let's see if we are missing anything," V said as Ayaka used her Arasaka Shadow pinging several more troops underneath. "There must be a hidden door somewhere," he said as Ayaka could tip the floor to hear something hollow.
"Trap door," she said bending down and unlocking the door to flip it open.
"Good work Ayaka, time to clear them out," he said to lead downward to pull out his Crusher shotgun. Ayaka rolls between his legs to disappear and speed off to get into position.
"These tunnels go down huh?" Ayaka questioned to see turrets popping out of the earthy walls. V took the shots with his armored skin holding while he fired his auto shotgun to use buckshots to destroy the turrets.
Ayaka is dodging incoming turrets to blast them apart with her Cyberdeck. She smashes through a door to slice open Iron Legion members' chests and rips off their limbs with precise slashes. "Good work, let's check the area," Ayaka said as they saw a hole in the wall.
"Come on, let's continue forward," V said as they went deeper into the underground tunnels to see Ayaka grabbing an X Bow Crossbow holding 8 bolts. "New toy?" he asked.
"Yep, with explosive tips too," Ayaka said as they saw more thugs coming their way wielding Minami 10 SMGs and Tactician shotguns. The duo takes cover as they slip through the enclosed spaces to pick off the enemy one by one with Ayaka firing an explosive bolt to impale a thug and taking out a group of enemies turning them into red mist. "Very nice," she said to be very impressed with this.
Ayaka blasts a guy's head with an explosive bolt for brain matter and bone scattered onto the wall. She blows off the leg of another thug as she breaks the neck of the Iron Legion grunt killing him instantly. She reloads her new toy to take out two incoming enemies with a single blast.
V is pouring in buckshots and slugs to lay waste to groups of terrorists to switch to his Tengu landing headshots with Ayaka switching to her Nue to put the last shot into the final criminal.
"Seem cleared," V said as they went into the last room to see a horrible sight. "Goodness," he said as he saw a space where there were a bunch of dead bodies lying on the floor and a camera nearby hooked up to a laptop.
"Disgusting, this must be those lynching XBDs they spread around on the net," Ayaka said as they are also a bunch of neo nazi images and their main flag has white and black stripes with a skull over an iron cross.
"These are real party crashers," V said lightly easing the tense situation.
"Yeah, so full of hate for people who are not like them," Ayaka said feeling saddened by this.
V goes up to the laptop to check to see the video in question which is the killing of undesirables like racial and sexual minorities. "Death to the filth and we will make America go into a new golden age," the gunman said with his clothes dirtied with the blood of his victims.
"Fuckers, good thing we found this place so we can shut it down," he said as he takes the laptop to see if there is good intel about their other safehouses within the city. "Good, this will come in handy," he said.
They escape the underground to go outside to see a bunch of Iron Legion reinforcement. "We got you Corpo fuckers," an Iron Legion member said.
"That's rich from your Militech backers. Hawkeye lit them up," Ayaka said.
"Preem Lady Ayaka, time to light up these assholes," the assault AV appears above the duo to unleash a hail of bullets and rockets to wipe out over 30 Iron Legionaries and their vehicles blasting them to bloody pieces. He lets down a ladder for them to climb into the air vehicle to fly away to complete their mission.
