"So where are we going with this?" Jack asks a girl as they walk down the hallways of the main building. Jack had been on Sakura Talk when he saw a friendly request for someone to play a game with her. Her name was Sayu and she sported short green hair secured with a kanji hairclip and a white barrette, and purple eyes.
"We'll be heading to the new building. Their newest renovations included a gaming room for the gaming club." Sayu replies.
"Man why hasn't Midori been on top of this?" Jack chuckles. "I mean at least she was able to convince the guys that made the crazy new "Initial D Arcade Stage 8" to let her be a beta tester. She managed to whoop me pretty good in the last race."
"That's Midori." Sayu giggles as they make their way out of the main building and into the new building where the gaming room as all set up. Consoles and games lined a shelf, and much to Jack and Sayu's shock, a vending machine was placed off to the side too. A giant TV took up almost the whole wall and finally there were posters that lined the other side. "Have you ever played any of the Ring series?"
"Ring? I've played the first game." Jack replies.
"Then you've already played the best one." Sayu giggles as she pulls out a Zbox and plugs it into the necessary places. "Spartan Green was probably at his best in the first game, but game makers being game makers his reputation was kinda soiled with each new Ring game." She adds as she finishes plugging in the necessary stuff. Once they fire up the game, the all too familiar start screen pops up and Sayu looks at Jack. "Shall we play through the main campaign together?"
"I haven't played this in quite a while. Should be a nostalgia rush." Jack chuckles as Sayu selects the two player campaign mode. As they play through, Jack steals occasional glances at Sayu, and her concentrated face as they blast up aliens left and right. While Jack was more of an ammo conserving, sniper type, Sayu was more guns akimbo and spraying bullets at any enemy that she spotted. They continue to play and eventually they reach a part where they prepare to storm a ship's docking station, from inside. "Alright, I imagine that there are a buttload of enemies behind that door. On the count of three I'll flank the left side and you flank the right."
"Roger that." Sayu replies.
"One... Two... Three!" Jack shouts as he and Sayu quickly move past the doors and see a ton of enemies.
"Fire away!" Sayu cheers as they blast away multiple enemies in quick succession with the AI controlled allies following behind and providing cover fire! Jack's battle plan works as most of the enemies are concentrated in the middle- had they both tried to go in the middle they would have been blasted to bits. "Watch out behind you!"
"Whoa!" Jack shouts as Sayu blasts an alien that was about to instakill him. "Thanks for the save!" He says before spotting an alien sneaking up behind Sayu. He quickly pulls out his sniper rifle and blows the alien's head off before it can do anything. "And I return the favor."
"Nice shot!" Sayu says, but then, ominous music plays as two giant, heavily armored aliens emerge! "Uh oh! Jack! Try and distract them! I'll get behind and attack their backsides!"
"Roger that!" Jack says as he opens fire on the two giant aliens, and they charge. This provides enough distraction for Sayu to get behind and blow them away. "Nice work!"
"Let's keep going!" Sayu says as they advance onto the next part of the level. "You should play a game with my little sister. She's awesome at those 2D shooters."
"I'll be sure to make a note of that." Jack replies.
Jack's thoughts: Gamer guys, this is the girl of your dreams! I think we both supported each other when times in the game got tough so she'll make a great partner for those two player first person shooters.
*She's from another planet, and having played enough first person shooter games has probably given her extraterrestrial reflexes and skills. Give her an assault rifle and she'll be laying down cover fire for her allies or gunning down the opposition with the skill of a terminator. The goddess' fortifications would allow Sayu to fire angelic shots much more powerful than Ekoro's, able to burn holes through anyone they pass through, and Lucifer's fortifications would put an under-barrel grenade launcher on the rifle.
