~Aiko Takeshi - The Suite ~ (#Wattys2015)

=CHAPTER 6= The Tailor of Suite's

Seconds becomes minutes, minutes turn to hours, hours turn to days, and days, that's kinda how long ive been here, at least I got to learn more about my suite, and what is now required of me, and of course I would say no if it wasn't for the sake of my family, I don't think i was every ready for this type of life.

In the time spent here ive been taught a much about basic combat and suite functions, I found out that the three buttons on my arm are there for the more manual tasks, but the main one is that if I enter the right button presses, it activates my overdrive mechanism, where all energy absorbed by the suite is rerouted back into my body, instead of being released by steam, However Dr Hohaku advises me never to use it unless i end up in a possibly impossible position, what happens when i overdrive is I would be poisoned directly and may not get adequate attention in time and yea, I would die, and dying doesn't sound like fun anyways. The coolest part for me was how to activate the invisible mode, I just had to hold my breath, this is sick! I thought.

I got up off my bed, and moved towards my door, i was assigned to me for the time being a temporary bunk, upon reaching the door, i saw 'Momo" she was passing at that exact same moment, remember that interrogator girl, yea that's her, she was walking by with her adviser, she gors by the name "Ai", looking on, it was really Momo that really strucked me, she had a real pretty face, long silky looking white hair that swayed with her hips as she walked, i would most always shutdown when we got eye contact.

I turned my head, and headed right into the Operations room, Dr Hohaku was busy on Intel scans and other stuff, Victor also entered the room, he was the lead Agent now since the death of Nightshade, he was a big guy, very muscular and a great fighter, we have training day every Tuesday and Fridays, and he was the dominant force most weeks, .. he nodded at me before disappearing into another room, i was about to continue on outside, when i felt a hand on my shoulder, it was the Dr, ... We have serious business to discuss, he said, "i have reason to believe i can put some amount of trust and faith in you Aiko" later i will explain to you why we are here, the real mission at hand, our government, and your role in all this, ... " so what about my family ?", He went quiet, He then walked in front me and looked me in the eye, .. a low pitched voice echoed in my ear, " Aiko, what we are doing here is way over our heads, you have no idea what these people that we fight against are capable of, the technologies they posses, I noticed that he stopped talking and look to the floor, you could see a reminiscence on his face, as he held his head up and resumed his speech, " The technology i helped them to create!, ... i instantly thought about the hammer suite, and proceed to ask him if he was the .... "yes! i designed it!, he said, i designed and built them all.

He then lift his hand of my shoulder and walked away, your family might be in grave danger Aiko, but they aren't my responsibility they are yours, but i will help you, as long as you help me, he then went on back to his work station, "by the way Aiko, today is your final training day, you will face Victor in the training room, ... I thought about what i just heard, We will have to see how this goes i thought,.. i stepped off through a door and was now stepping into the training room, just to get a another look and feel before my big exam, the clock on the wall ensured me that i had a few hours before what could be a serious "ass kicking!", after all it was Victor.

"What are you doing in here boi?" a sharp rusty tone made itself present, ... i stepped around a rest chair to see who it was, "Are you blind?!, im training here, GET OUT!", ... "hmmmph" you see, not because the Dr see's a good seed in you means i trust you punk,.. i'm just waiting for you to give me a reason, .. and if you slip up ill have your head before you can walk out this room!, ... ... "what was his problem?!, part of me was itching to leave, but another part of me didn't want to feel like a softy, so i stood there and looked at him without a word,... "are you testing me boi? , he said as he stood up quickly and lustily walked towards me, "It seems you got piss in your ears!, " I said GET OUT!", he held his hands up out of nowhere, i just saw two dagger like blades appear , he dashed towards me, he was very fast!, i'm wondering if it was a bad idea to face him, i inched backwards while getting my suite head in its rightful position, Ok my mask was in place and set!, i quickly raised my hand to block his attack, when a shadowy figure dashed past me and into my attackers direction , " ENOUGH!", it was Victor!, " are you outta your mind?, "what are you thinking Shadow?!, Victor had grabbed him during his mid flight and held a hand with one of his daggers, Then slammed him into the wall, you could feel the earth shake, Shadow was a more sleek version of Victor but presumably faster and more of a stealth assassin type, you could see it clearly, he is now agent #2 since nightshades death, He looked at me and i could see the fire in his eyes, he didn't like me, and i could tell.

~ "We need him Shadow!, like it or not!, pull your damn self together soldier!, how would you like the Dr hearing about this, ... ... Victor looked him in the eye then released him, both men were't too happy about it either.

~"Go get yourself ready for our match up Aiko, i wont be going easy on you either, its for the future of our organization, your the future of this organization, see you in a hour, he said then exited through another door, Shadow looked at me for awhile, shrugged then ran up the wall, jump across to a hanging ledge climbed onto a vent and disappeared behind it.

I returned to my bunk, thinking on why Shadow never seemed to like me, ever since ive been here he is the only one that didn't say a word to me, well its not like everyone is willing and ready to talk , but his case was different, i lay back on my bed and put to thought, the missions, the pain of my past, and the mystery that awaits my future,

~"Wanna talk about it Aiko?, wow such a pretty voice in my head, its almost as if someone was ... "huh?, Momoko? my face went numb, what are you doing in ...um... is there a problem?, hee hee "relax Aiko, she said with a gentle grin, she walked over and sat beside me on the bed.

~" It must hard for you, so much in so little time, you lost everything, hmmm don't worry we have your back, as long as you do whats required, ... you know, we could have just killed you and take the suite, save ourselves the trouble, and have Victor wear it, after all he is our best operative on base, hee hee , but don't worry we aren't the type to do that, it would make our mission pointless, i'm sorry if that came off wrong ... ... you can trust me, OK?, ... I swallowed hard at what i just heard, but i would have to exercise some faith, cause if they wanted me dead, i would be already, so i'm safe for now i guess.

~ "Oh, I have something else to tell you Aiko, .. i looked at her anticipating her next words, .... You, your family and Marco, its all over the news, you guys have been claimed to be either kidnapped or part of a explosion that might have killed you all, we got Intel that your home wasn't there anymore, nothing but burning ash, and if it couldn't get more mysterious, the crash site was clean, "nothing", ... they are trying to cover up what happened Aiko, .. ... Who is "they", i asked, ... ... i think i might be telling you too much Aiko, you may go about it the wrong way, your not ready, .. ... i just lost it, i was clearly upset!, " I'm not ready?!, I'M NOT READY?!, these people took my family!, took my best friend!, and try to kill me!, but i'm not ready!?, my breathing was now slowly becoming heavy, " You know what!, with or without the help of you guys i will find them, if it the last thing i did!, .. i stood up with steam now slowly creeping from tiny holes in the side of my face, i headed towards the door, ... "Aiko wait!, ... i stopped, .... she got up and walked towards me, i could feel her hand in mine, she walked right around and looked me in the face, ... " I wanna see your real face Aiko, ... i pulled my suit back! and held my head up, she was beautiful, her eyes told me what she had to say even before she said it, ... Its gonna be okay, but you will have to work with us, work with me, I see a strong willed person yearning for answers and closure, .. All will be clear in a couple of days, when you go out on your first mission!
