Grayson:The Ronin Protocol

Chapter 36:Training Arc Pt 2

2 hours later Oz and Jason stare at a holographic map of Buffalo, New York Oz said you crashed here in Buffalo and You said S-1 was over there?. As 2 pins appear on the map in front of them, several miles apart from one another, Jason says yeah that's right let me see something as he types on his S-beads adding a new pin to the map the pin pings and flashes. Oz said that's where the Jet is, here For you to be a hero I need you to be a ghost as he hands Jay a metal sphere. Jason curiously said what's this for? Oz said hold it for 2 minutes as the sphere hums and then glows as it bathes Jason's hands in energy.

Jason says Ow! As he drops the sphere on the floor, Oz says that sphere just erased your fingerprints from The NYPD's database along with any record of your identity from any database which they sent your information to. I need a ghost and Jason Riley is a well-known person who has a history with the police, It's only when your darkness has a name, an identity that you can be reborn as a new version of yourself. I want you to try to hit me once we set foot on the mat over there, try to hit me with everything you have as he walks over to a large rubber mat sitting in the middle of the room. Surrounded by weapon racks full of weapons such as knives, katanas, Kali Sticks both metal and wood, and guns such as pistols and rifles.

Jason steps onto the mat he charges at Oz throwing a spin kick at him only to get his leg caught and hit in the stomach by Oz sending him flying across the mat. He slowly rises to his feet, Oz says again, As Jason sonically runs at Oz throwing several palm strikes at him just for him to block every strike with little effort. Oz said open your mind and let your mind guide you as he pulls Jason into his arms just to knee him in the chest, knocking the air out of his lungs. And then throws him across the mat, Oz says again! Come at me with everything you have or you won't win.

Jason says I'll win even if I break every bone in my body to do it my parents didn't raise a quitter as he flips to his feet. He wraps his hands in white hand wraps and cracks his knuckles and runs at Oz with normal speed throwing haymakers and jabs at him. Oz's hands glow with yellow energy as he blocks Jason's punches with Mystical energy shields, Oz said I said open your mind! As he moves in the blink of an eye hitting Jason in the chest knocking him out of his body. Jason floats in the air as he watches his body drop to the floor. He screams what the fuck was that!! What'd you do to me?!, Oz said Language and I weaved a simple incantation to astral project you as he snaps his fingers Jason gets pulled back into his body.

Jason says how'd you do that? The whole knocking me out of my body thing, Oz said like I said it's a simple spell I learned centuries ago I needed you to realize that in battle anything can be taken from you. Your hearing, your limbs even your body there will always be an opponent who's stronger than you or who's faster than you are, your goal is to take them down quickly and efficiently as possible. What else do you remember about the accident?, Jason said I remember tucking Tommy into his bed then going to my room it was thundering. I woke up to sounds of my brother screaming this weird thing happened, Oz said what happened?, Jason said the water on my nightstand floated like it was suspended in the air.

Oz said that's strange anything else happened? As he stares at Jason intently. Jason said the cargo bay doors were melted shut from the inside, I had to use my telekinesis to get inside when I made it inside Tommy was crying like crazy. I teleported him to my grandparents house, and I tried to save my parents I glanced inside this tornado made completely out of Green & Red lightning and saw Zakar Conners looking right at me. I tried running at the tornado to get my parents out of there but I wasn't strong enough, the jet was ripped in half by lightning and I got sucked out of the plane but before I hit the ground I was standing in snow and passed out.

What happened to me up there was impossible I should be dead, Oz said yes you should be dead but it's a miracle that you're not and we're going to use that to make you a better vigilante. How're you feeling?, Jason said I'm feeling like I want to go find Silas and make him pay for what he's taken from me. The cops still can't find him they still haven't found him yet I need to know why he had my parents murdered, Where would you hide if you were on the run and everyone in this city, everyone in the world was looking for you. Oz said I'd hide in the last place anyone would think to look in plain sight. Jason said Silas isn't like you or me he doesn't like the shadows, he likes to be the center of attention he wants a monument to his name and a building with his name plastered on it for the world to see.

Fuck me I know where he's been this whole time and I just realized it. V where's my grandma right now?, Victoria says She's being discharged from the hospital today what's up boss? Your brain waves are all over the place. Jason said I found where Silas has been hiding he's been under our noses this whole time as he slips into the bio suit Oz gave him along with it's visor Oz says I'll have your six from here. Victoria said is that the guy who kidnapped you? What's the play boss?, Jason says I'll tell you on the way as he sonically runs out of the Sanctum vanishing in a flash.

At Starr Industries Jason instantly appears standing in Silas's office he distortedly says I'm in, Oz's voice via comm link says find anything that can tie Silas to your parents' murder's The cops will need evidence to arrest him. Jason walks over to Silas's computer terminal sifting through papers on his desk. he sees blueprints of his E.G.O'S, A black box sits on his desk as well as blueprints for A mechanized battle suit labeled Odyssey. Jason says I found blueprints for a battle suit named Odyssey, there's a black box here I don't see a lock on it as he punches the box breaking it in two. Revealing photographs of Him with his family at the press conference in Buffalo, Pictures of the E.G.O.S, and Pictures of The interior of S-1 Jason says Silas was watching us he was spying on us. V hack his terminal and get everything you can off his drive as he puts one of his beads on Silas's keyboard he dodges An energy blast only to get hit in the face sending him smacking into a wall landing on the floor.

Jason sees Silas standing in front of him wearing a sleek white and red armored suit. Silas says you found me strat I'm shocked that it took you this long to figure it out, what the fuck are you wearing? I don't want to know I've evidence proving my innocence. Jason sonically runs at Silas slamming him up against a wall punching him in his face 3 times before getting thrown into a glass window. Jason pins him in place by throwing 3 Kunai's at him piercing his shoulders Jason said Why'd you have my parents killed? What did they do to you that made them worthy of death in your eyes, Silas said It was nothing personal but they abandoned me for their precious children so I wanted you to feel like I did.
