Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 29:Dead To Rights Pt 1

In A large cafeteria full of students from different walks of life, marble lunch tables, and lunch carts. Jason stands in the middle of the room, Hiro says follow me JR as he leads Jason to an empty table on the large outstretched patio outside the cafeteria. Hiro said dude again that owl is so shiv!, Jason said dude not as cool as your gauntlet how does the trigger mechanism work anyway?. Hiro said The Mechanism is all in your fingers literally the gauntlet links to your hand. And it enables you to fire an energy blast or two, right now I've the gauntlet on the lowest level level one. But theoretically I can cause a citywide blackout with this thing not that I would do that, I'm just saying that someone could use this thing to do some really bad shit.

What about your owl is it equipped with any other cool toy's?, Jason said Yeah the feathers can cut through almost anything and it has a taser in its beak that can stop someone's heart or worse not that I'd never do anything like that. I'm not usually this weird around other people it's been a while since I've met a likeminded person like me it's nice. Hiro said hey I saw that you looked into the unexplainable and downright impossible. What do you think of the red blur that's been running around lately? Do you think they're the red wolf or someone else? As he stares at Jason with curiosity in his eyes, Jason said I think it's the Red Wolf what has the red blur been doing anyway?, Hiro said well according to the News Sheets he's been saving criminals instead of killing them a few weeks ago he saved a drunk driver from crashing into a bus full of people.

Here look man as he types on a holographic keyboard on his S-beads displaying a video of The Red Wolf catching a car and then vanishing in a flash. Hiro said I don't think that the red wolf is a hero I think certain people can't be saved or reasoned with and sometimes you've to cut out the infection to make everything better. What do you think about him?, Jason said I think that he's just trying to do what the cops can't do, because they adhere to the law and he doesn't they don't put the fear of god into criminals the way he does. Hiro said look I agree with you I do but whoever his tailor is should be shot no seriously he's wearing a fuckin' onesie I'm sure I could make him a better suit than the one he wears. Jason curiously said You're a tailor??, Hiro said kind of My Mom owns a tailor shop in Midtown called Hakanorros it's a little mom and pop store I work there sometimes after school.

Jason said that is awesome!! You're lucky I wish I had an after school job I used to work with my parents at Starr Industries in our lab we used to create such cool shit. Like Our E.G.O's, The Delta 5 exosuits, The S-beads I really enjoyed helping my parents create the new iterations. Hiro said tell you what JR one of these days you and I are definitely gonna create some shiv shit alright?, Jason said I look forward to it hoss his S-beads vibrate. Gam Gam's text message reads Don't forget to swing by the hospital after school to see Tommy he's been waiting to see you since she woke up. I've a party tonight at the ritz at eight do you want to come? it's being hosted by the board, Jason types her back yes of course I'll come and support you gam gam I'll be at the hospital at 4:15. He said sorry my grandma's texting me I have a party to attend tonight in her honor, Want to come with me and pig out on spring rolls, charcuterie boards and sneak sips of the wine in the kitchen?. Hiro said dude I wish I could go but I can't I've a late shift tonight but rain check on the hangout session?,

Jason said yeah no worries hoss rain check definitely. 3 hours later At Toriyama General in Tommy's room Jason enters the room wearing a sleek black 2 piece suit W/ a black dress shirt,black slacks and black wingtip dress shoes seeing Ephraim, Mike ,Tommy and Rose all dressed up. Mike said Master Jason can I talk to you in private for a minute? It's important, As Mike walk's up to Jay grabbing him by the arm and bringing him into the hallway. Mike lowly says The cops were at the manor and your grandparents house earlier Macaroni was leading the charge. So watch your back Son please don't take any unnecessary risks, Jay says I know Victoria told me I have everything under control Mikey let's go to the party. At The Ritz Hotel in Central Park, S-3 pulls up to the front door As Rose & Ephraim hop out and walk inside as paparazzi snap flicks of them. Tommy curiously said are we going inside or what dweeb?, Jay scoffs at him and says Let's not keep the board waiting let's go bro Mikey I'll meet you inside. Jason & Tommy walk out S-3 entering the Lobby of the Ritz seeing large crowds of people dancing and drinking. Jason says Hey Tommy go find grandma and gramps I'll be right back I have to go to the bathroom okay?.

Tommy said Okay don't be gone too long dweeb as he wades through the crowd of people, Jason walks through the crowd of people entering a men's restroom sliding into a stall. His mind says you're probably wondering why my brother is here at a party when he just got out of the hospital from being mutated into a giant fuckin' bird. My grandparents figured he could use some fresh air as opposed to being stuck with a babysitter while we came to my grandmother's ceremony I on the other hand wish I was out on patrol. I'm not a people person but it could be worse as he gets up off the toilet seat leaving the stall exiting the bathroom and re entering the party, On the rooftop across from the ritz An unknown Short African American man w/a black Afro, Dark brown eyes and Mocha skin wearing a sleek black armored bodysuit stares down at the party. Watching Rose talk to some of the board members He speaks into the gauntlet on his left arm he says I've the target in my sights. A familiar man's voice said Don't fuck this up She's a liability and needs to be dealt with understood?. Ricochet said Understood I'll send confirmation once it's done as he fires a Grappling hook from his gauntlet sinking into the roof of the ritz.

Ricochet goes flying through the air landing on the ritz's roof he pulls A pair of visored goggles from his pants and slips them over his eyes. He cocks his gauntlets as his Visor displays a HUD, Jason sees his grandmother Rose standing on a stage next to Kingston Rhodes. Kingston says Welcome everyone to this ceremony, Tonight we're honoring one of the greatest people of our generation. She's been through a great ordeal in losing her son and daughter in law but she's overcome that grief and arose from the ashes like a phoenix, I'm honored to be making her the Acting vice president of Starr Industries Rose Komoko!!. The entire room erupts in applause as Rose approaches the podium she clears her throat and says Thank you Kingston for your marvelous speech. Like Kingston said My name is Rose Komoko I've been a member of this fine city for 45 years and. I've always wanted to make a difference in the world and now I have a platform to support this city and make it a better place. I will not repeat the mistakes of my predecessors they failed this city I won't fail you thank you for your time.

She walks off stage as the room explodes in cheering and applause, Rose walks up to Mike ,Ephraim, Tommy and Jason. She says I think that went well as The rooms windows explode and small spherical drones fly into the room mowing down some of the guests with mini gun turrets. Jason screams Mike get them out of here!!!, Tommy screams I'm not leaving without you Jay as tears fill his eyes. Jay screams I'll be right behind you go!! As he watches Mike escort His family to the southern stairwell before he blends into a panicked crowd of guests vanishing from sight. In the northern stairwell Jason enters it walking up to a metal trash can pulling a balaclava out of it and running up a flight of stairs. On the roof Ricochet views Rose through his scope Jason quickly throws an Escrima stick at Ricochet hitting him in the left arm as he shoots Rose in the back. Jason quickly dodges a barrage of bullets as he darts behind a concrete pillar, he wears his MK 1 suit

A pair of black cargo pants, a lightly armored black Compression shirt W/Dark yellow accents running up his arms and back, Black tactical gloves wrapped in black hand wraps, black metal combat boots. A burgundy balaclava with ruby red goggles wrapped around it, A Black leather Wolf patch sits on his chest, Jason curiously says What do you want? Who're You?!, Ricochet said The names Ricochet and you're outclassed little wolf I've heard of you I thought you were an urban legend. My job's done as Jason cloaks himself and charges at Ricochet only to get shot in the Chest 3 times. Jay tackles Ricochet to the ground and strongly punches him in his face, Ricochet says I see through you you're a killer just like me good luck trying to fight. Jason's vision blurs as his grip on Ricochet slowly loosens he distortedly said What did you do to me??. Ricochet said My bullets are laced with a special ingredient that are shutting down your immune system you'll be dead in 4 minutes from all the shit I've heard about you this fight was very disappointing. Rest in peace Wolf as Jason pins him in place with his telekinesis and punches him in the face with every ounce of strength he has left sending ricochet flying through a wall knocking him unconscious. Jason stumbles over to Ricochet and yanks his left gauntlet off his suit and slips it into a storcube He said V call Mikey ping him my location as he quickly loses consciousness.
