I wake up at a garden and sit up, seeing a large range of grassy hills, bristling with wildlife. I feel the presence of a goddess behind me, I turn around and see a woman in white clothing, holding a white bamboo umbrella. "Good, your here." "Wh..who are you?" "You will find out in time. I am here to tell you that I've been placing those thoughts of the weapons in your mind." "Why?" "You will soon see my grandchild." As she shoves me back I stumble and fall. I wake up looking at the ceiling of what seemed to be Scott's workshop ceiling. I sit up, as Scott tosses me a towel I catch it, "take a shower." "What about the gears?" "I put a Pyramic metal frame onto your gears to stop it from moving, and your metal plate over your heart is water resistant. I tested white snow on water, it didn't leave any droplets. And your metal plate is colored your skin tone, but it is white snow.." "How does it hold up against white snow? The frame of the metal." "I.. don't know. But it should hold up. So go take a bath, besides you kinda stink." I see another wooden door portal I chuckle lightly, "yea." I sit up and get off the bench, walking over to the door I open it and enter.

I turn the shower handle to the right side, turning it off. I dry my hair and wrap the towel around me, walking over to the door I look down and see a fresh pair of clothes with a note, that read "Scott told me ya needed clothes, so I brought some of mine when I was 17, I hope it fits. -Amy." I put the clothes on and open the door just to be greeted by Scott who was sitting on his workbench. "It suits you." He snaps his fingers, as a mirror appeared next to him. I was wearing a grey unzipped jacket with crimson red jeans, under the jacket was a crimson red shirt with the depiction of a Japanese dragon on it, actually, the tail was on my left leg of the jean shorts. "Thanks." I feel the gears wanting to turn, but couldn't because of the frame. "So, what's the dragon and colors for? Surely she didn't pick these colors out and this design from a normal store." "Your right, they are handmade by your grandma. In the time of need, if you are wearing that, and your true powers activate. The clothing will change into something." "What?" "I.. don't know. All we know is that it only responds to the correct family of goddesses. And your family is the family of Crimson, elite and advanced goddesses that specializes in firepower and took the form of Japanese dragons. While the Wingson specializes speed and taken the form of Chinese dragons. And the third is Clamity, the most intelligent goddesses that can outsmart and outplay any opponent. However, all goddesses have two things in common, they can sense another goddess from their family or another family, and they are too skilled enough to kill one another. Making them all equal." I feel the sense of the speed coming from the room. "There's a goddess in this room." "Good you can sense." I see Amy appear next to Scott. "You are a Wingson." "And you are a Crimson. Yet here we are, not killing one another." "I heard Japanese and Chinese never got along." "Yea, they don't. Hey, we got a mission." "What is it?" "You'll see it when we get there.." as we walked out, I see an old Mercado brand vehicle. She unlocks it and hopes in, I go around to the opposite side and open the door, sitting down inside she starts the car and begins to drive.

We arrive at our destination, it was heavily fortified by armed guards, with twenty-foot mechanized robots with large guns on them, as well as twenty hover tanks. "How much fucking tanks do you have at your disposal?" "Over a million." "What are you tryna do? Start a war?" I looked at Amy "do you not realize that protecting the North Pole from potential threats is incredibly hard? The people up here are mixtures of many people around the world, yet we all coexist with each other. The question is, what is so special that they are guarding inside there?" "It's a weapon." "What kind of weapon?" "It's a weapon created by your mother before she became robotic. That's all you need to know." "Who's helping us?" "A girl. Her name is Serenity and your cousin. She will provide us railgun support.." "but rail-guns are loud and can't be suppressed." "That's what you think. Our technology is timeless, and always advanced than anything out there." "So can you remove the gears on my heart?" She looks back at me. "Man, for a little girl you talk too much." I chuckle "yea, I get that a lot. Why am I here?" She points at the air vents.
