Black rock shooter: the enemies land

Ch. 4

"The weapon won't wake up!" A man gasped as he kept re-entering the code. "Wake up, dammit!" Another shouted, slamming his fist on screen. "Stop or it really won't wake up!"

"She's not an "it". She will wake up it just takes time to activate everything.... She has been inactive for 3 years now. Just give her a couple of minutes. The more times you enter that code in the longer it's going to take..." A kid firmly said. He was the smallest out of all of them. Reaching 5'4 with the robotic legs. His skin was a pale, glowing white. He looked like a ghost. He had a hat with a polar bear face on it, it had little ears too. His white hair was longer upfront, going into loose curls while the back remain short and covered by the hat. His bangs went across his forehead. "Just wait." He said, his voice back to the soft tone. His eyes were a beautiful yellow and went down a soft gradient to bronze. His pupils went the opposite way, bronze on top then went to yellow.

"Rothcall, Xiaomin, you might want to back up a bit. She'll be confused and on the defense. She doesn't hit lightly."
"How do you know all of this about her?" Rothcall asked. "I'm not sure, I have no memory of meeting her, I think I might have just read papers about her."

Then there was silence for a couple of moments.

"I can read your facial expressions, you want me to tell you more about her right?" He smiled. They both nodded. "Welp, since there's nothing else to do... She was human, before, to start off then an accident happened that caused her to die. Then a group of scientists took her and messed with the DNA, making so that she can be ridiculously strong. But then they found that they didn't have to do much, her DNA was already coded for unmatched human strength, it was sort of- I guess you could say- .... It was asleep? Any ways, they've awoken it and just put her to sleep.. Causing us to be where we are right now.. at least that was what I was told." He sighed. "Ha.. That's was rather confusing but it was a synopsis of it all. She has stitches under her rib area..." The kid was talking more to himself than the two soldiers who listened with wondering eyes, while the other sighed and looked back. "Gee, no wonder it's going so slow for it to wake up.. The thing we are relying on is a girl!" He growled. "Now, now..." The white haired boy said, his voice soft. "The system has been inactive for THREE years, of course it's going to be a little slow. It's not her fault, it's not anyone's fault... Now how about you leave the room.. Before she wakes up and hears you complaining.. It would be bad if the ultimate life-form viewed us as the enemies, hmm??" He asked.

"Let me correct you, kid.. The ultimate weapon."
"Yes, yes, whatever just please leave before trouble is started."
"I shouldn't have to listen to you."
"You wouldn't have found this place if it wasn't for the professor. The professor was kind enough to rebuild me, I'm not designed to forget. I've led you to this place, I can kick you out.. Now run along, please and go to the training grounds, go look at the garden, go somewhere else but here so she doesn't view us as a threat with your anger! Please!" He said as sincere as he possibly could. The man sighed and left.

Leaving the three there in silence.

"This is taking much longer than I expected..." The boy sighed. "Ishikawa.. Do you think it has been damaged?" Rothcall asked. "Oh goodness no! I've checked this over many times before you started typing anything in, it is the same as it was when it was built. It's just slow since it's so outdated." Ishikawa sighed.

As ishikawa was looking at the capsule, he went off into a blank stare. Each lasting around five minutes.

"You look very.. Hnn- spacey today?"

Ishikawa slowly turned his head towards rothcall. "I haven't slept in 120 hours so if I collapse just leave me."

Ishikawa was looking at the screen seeing if he could find out the activation percentage.

CRASH

He immediately looked up to see a fist in the air and the door was hanging on by barely it's last hinge. "She's up, get back and put your weapons down." He instructed.

The did as they were told. "Get on the ground and hold very still." He whispered. He was nearly kneeling, looking up silently and in awe. "Unmatched superior strength." He whispered.

The girl stood up and walked over to another capsule, pulled the door off with one arm and threw it elsewhere. She took her guns and sword, sheathing and loading them. Then she looked around. Her pig tails were long, one noticeably shorter than the other and she had glowing sapphire eyes. She stood around 5'3. Ishikawa was struck with a sudden Deja vu, his eyes widened. She looked so familiar, who was she?!

"What a cute display." He said, making her turn around on her heel. Ishikawa remained where he was, sitting on his knees he smiled the most neighborly smile. He motioned for her to sit across from him. The girl drew out the canon and aimed. Ishikawa put his hands up. "I mean absolutely no harm," he said softly, looking towards the ground. "No one that I talk to is an enemy. Three years of being asleep. How was it?" He said, trying to make a normal conversation. The two soldiers hearts were beating quickly. They were nervous, if she pulls the trigger, everything but her is going to be turned into dust in this room.

The girl remained silent. Ishikawa sighed and laughed, it was bitter and seemed more towards himself. "How forgetful I am, I am ishikawa shiori. I am with Two others.. They mean no harm to you either." He spoke softly with a friendly smile. "Friends or enemies?" She asked, her eyebrows knitting to a curious expression. She wondered if she asked the right question.

"have mercy! she's rather dense. I just told her we mean no harm!" Shiori thought. He continued smiling and kept motioning for her to sit across from him. After moments of hesitation she did. "Good! Good!" He went to exclaim but it came out a soft, encouraging chant. "What is your name?"

Silence as she jarred her memory, she looked at him before bowing her head. "I don't know..." She replied. "Ah... How about we just call you 'Stella'? Since you have stars on your cloak?" He smiled, she looked at her arm sleeves quickly, completely oblivious she even had it on. A concerned look took over the calm expression ishikawa had. "She's dense... Will she be able to help us win? ... I can't doubt... I can't doubt... We've lost too many to doubt. She is the only ray of hope we have left." He sighed and stood up quickly, resulting in stella pulling out her pistol. Being used to having guns aimed at him he turned around and called rothcall and Xiaomin, they put their weapons on their belts and followed. "She isn't following us, ishikawa."

"Give her... 5, 4, 3,2,1.... Stop." He said, sticking his arms out. "Slowly turn around."

Sure enough when they did, she was standing at a distance, staring at them with curious eyes. "Come follow us if you're wondering." Ishikawa smiled. They were now grouped close, walking towards the other soldier. "So, it decided to finally wake up?"

"Stella is here." Ishikawa corrected, putting emphasis on her name. "Whatever, it does seem like it can something."

Ishikawa sighed and scratched the back of his neck. Stella tilted her head, seeing that ishikawa was in slight distress. She's doesn't  know what was causing it, but she tried to help anyways. She put an awkward a hand on his shoulder, causing him to look at who it was.

She shrugged her shoulders, causing him to smile.

"Well, you're trying at the very least, so you deserve praise." He said giving her a thumbs up. Rothcall radioed base that they have gotten her, the sent a helicopter immediately. Until it arrives they waited. Ishikawa sat down and closed his eyes. "What are you doing?" The girl asked. "Resting until the helicopter arrives." He replied. Stella sat down next to him and was poking at his legs, causing him to grin big and look at her. "What happened?"

"Well, I was fighting and the enemy had the upper hand so I lost them."

She shot up, grabbing the cannon. "The enemy?"
"You're not fighting them now!! Sit down, we need to set up a plan!" He exclaimed, slamming his fist on the ground. She did as told, he breathed deeply before apologizing. "I haven't gotten many days of sleep and I'm sort of just..." He closed his eyes and sighed. After that he fell asleep, Stella was sitting next to him looking for any potential dangers.
