-? HRS. LOCATION UNKNOWN-
Medical teams are examining a wounded man. His eyes were open but there were no response from him.
"Good... Vital signs are stable..." A medic reported. Two women entered in the ward. One with a small and petite figure, one with the blonde hair and the opposite.
"So, How's our man?" The blonde asked. "He's fine, Ma'am. Vital signs are stable. His body recieved significant trauma, but he's still kicking."The medic answered.
"Damaged?" She raised an eyebrow? "Y-Yes ma'am... He's the sole survivor of the ambush that occured hours ago." The medic answered.
"Enough talk about his state. What's his background?"
The medic read the patient's dossier...
"Subject 23...
Born in September 27 in Los Angeles, California, USA. He's 19-20 years of age... Family has a lineage in both military and police. Orphaned at his teenage years. The rest of the background is irrelevant...
Last seen with a squad doing a search and rescue. Some of our members- including Autumn and M, Ambushed the squad and wiped them out. Subject is the sole survivor of the massacred squad.
Subject is seen suffering violent psychosis during his capture, killing 6 of his captives. The remaining of his captors had no choice but to physically assault the subject unconscious in order for the operation to commence. 2 days from his capture, subject is under same violent psychosis, his vitals are critical, medical teams responded to the subject via heavy sedation.
Vitals are stable, Brain function showing resistance... Previous subjects showed no function stated in the latter."
"Resistance?! What is the problem?!" The blonde snarled.
"The rendered trauma to the subject caused his brain function to resist. We doubled the voltage a few minutes ago, just like you demanded. No one could survive this long." The medic said.
"Hm... Sounds like you and Autumn roughed him up too far huh?" The blonde mentioned to the petite figure.
"He deserved it!" She snarled. "How is he now?" The blonde asked the medic.
"The Subject's vitals are normal, Brain function showed little resistance after the voltage. Are you sure we can pull this off?" The medic answered.
"This man has nothing else to live for. He'll be a great addition to our cause." The blonde dragged the table where the surgical tools were and placed them near the medic.
"Begin the operation...Now."
The two women exited the room. The sound of an electric surgical tool started to sear into the subject's ears.
"No... No! Get that away! GET THAT AWAY! LET GO OF ME!"
The sound started to get closer. Until it hit his skull.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
-1430 HRS. Cafe Cruise, Present time. POV: 1st Person-
I snapped back into reality, only to see myself in a cafe. I took a couple of deep breaths to try and compose myself once more. As I stopped, I looked around from where I'm sitting, only to wake up from a nightmare.
"That night... I can't forget about that night. What the fuck was I doing in there?"
I slumped on my seat and grabbed a glass of water and a couple of painkillers. I gave a sigh of relief as I took my medicine. I gazed at the window to see a distant island. It was off Tokyo's mainland.
"Infinite Stratos academy..."
I wiped my eyes and took another gulp of water. I grabbed my phone as it vibrated in my pocket.
"We'll be sending you your files by the time you enter in the academy."
I sighed after reading the message and put on a comm unit. Then I called this... cute, platunum-haired waitress in a maid outfit. She had an eyepatch, covering her eye.
"One blueberry cheesecake and uh... Cappuccino if you got it."
-15 Minutes Later-
I spent a few minutes gazing at the window, looking at the island where the IS Academy rests. The sound of footsteps approached closer to me, making me turn my head. I saw a blonde woman in a butler outfit. She had this lovely aura around her.
"Hmm... She's pretty." I thought to myself.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Here's your order, master." She smiled while placing my order on the table. "Will there be anything else?"
"I'll be fine from here, Thank you." I smiled slightly on the girl. She smiled back and walks away. As I wash the cheesecake down my throat with coffee, I heard police sirens wailing from a distance. Feeling a hint of suspicion, I shook it off and continued drinking my cup o' joe... But I was interrupted when a group of robbers barged in. One of them fired a warning shot, making others scream. It alarmed me.
"NOBODY MOVE!" One of the robbers warned. "SHUT UP!"
The old instincts kick in as I sneaked to the nearest cover. I heard a police officer on the megaphone. "You're already surrounded! Surrender yourselves now! I repeat-" He was interrupted by gunfire.
"If you want the hostages unharmed, get me a car! Don't you even THINK of putting a tracking device on it!" The second robber fired an UZI on one of the squad cars.
While behind cover, I saw the female butler on my left side. I carefully un-holster my pistol. The woman was alarmed by my actions. "What are you doing?!" She whispered.
"Shhhh..." I showed my badge which was dangling down my neck. The woman nodded as she knew that I am a police officer. I readied my gun in hand.
"You! Over there!" The first robber points his gun at the silver-haired maid. "We're thirsty. Bring us the menu." "Laura..." The girl beside me whispered.
I saw the bullet go in the chamber as I carefully cocked my pistol. "Once I distract them, you save your friend. I'll cover you. Understand?" I whispered to her. She nodded. They peered over to see the maid bring them glasses of water. I looked at the glasses, they were filled with ice
"...What the hell are these?" One of the robbers sneered. "They're glasses of water." Laura answered, with a devilish smile. "Drink it if you d-"
"POLICE! ON THE GROUND, NOW!" The robbers' attention turned their attention to me as I pointed my gun at them. The maid tosses the tray with ice-filled glasses at the robbers, She "snapped" her fingers as some of the ice became projectiles, hitting the robbers. She disarmed them and hit their necks.
"Don't mess with us you little brat!" Another robber fired his pistol at the maid. She dodged the bullets. As he reloads, he was disarmed when I shot his hand. The butler kicked him off by the face. "Unfortunately...There's more than one brat here!" The suspect crashed to the tables.
"Target 2's apprehended. Laura, how about you?"
"No problem. Target 3's apprehended." Laura responded. The robber that she restrained tries to reach for the gun. I moved in and step on his hand, making a loud crackle. I pulled out a zip-tie. Laura restrained the robber as I cuff him. I did the same with the butler.
As I move in to restrain. One of the robbers stood up "How?! HOW CAN WE LOSE TO A BUNCH OF KIDS?!" He fired at us, but She dodged and I returned fire and shot the robber's hand, disarming him. I rushed in and gave him a painful knee to the abdomen. Laura grabbed his gun and aimed at the robber point-blank.
"Too slow." She pistol-whipped the robber's head, knocking him down.
"All suspects apprehended. We are Code 4- All clear." I said, looking at the two girls that helped me and gave a thumbs-up. They nodded back.
The two peered through the window with the squad cars still on the scene. "Laura, It'll be trouble if they find out we're representative candidates." The butler warned. "You're right... But what about him?" I overheard their conversation as I tightened the restrained robbers cuffs. "Oh yeah... Him."
"What the- Where's the other one?"
"...I'd rather blow everything up than go back to jail!" The last robber revealed a bomb strapped to himself. I noticed two black devices on the sides. I aimed my pistol on the other one. I signaled the butler to shoot the switches. She grabbed one of the robbers' pistol and helped me out. We shot the switches. I shot the last robber in the arm and the leg, making him collapse knees-first on the ground.
"SUSPECT! HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD, NOW!" I yelled as I approach the suspect to restrain him. I pulled another zip-tie and restrained the last robber. "Turn your ass over! I SAID TURN YOUR ASS OVER! Put your hands behind your back!" I shoved the robber's face to the ground as he resisted arrest and cuffed him.
"I don't know if we can trust him..." I overheard the maid.
"Hey... Hey!" I Called the two.
"There's an exit in the back. Just go, I'll be fine here." I whispered. The butler looked at the door behind the counter. "Thank you, Officer." She gave me a pat on the shoulder. "Laura, let's go."
"Good job out there." I smiled at her and stood up with the robber restrained. "Fucking police!" The robber snarled as he tries to escape.
"SHUT UP! YOU TALK TOO MUCH! SHUT UP!" I smacked the robber's head and headed out while telling the suspect to shut his mouth.
The butler smiled. "Now we can leave."
-0600 HRS. Monorail, POV: Standard-
The officer was alone in the monorail. He was looking at its route. It was headed for the IS academy.
"So... This is it, huh?"
He thought to himself.
"This is dispatch. Confirm that you're headed to the IS academy." A voice from the radio was heard.
"Confirmed, Dispatch. ETA Approximate, 20-30 minutes."
"Copy. Over and out."
