This is How it Started dies irae-song

Chapter One - My Life of Technology]Starts

“Darn it,” I snarled.

I just blew the biggest opportunity of my life. Technology Adventures was basically running the continent . Being the biggest company on the continent they led the economy by a lot.

“Did you get the job Lee?” Asked my best friend Max Meyers.

I looked at him with a glare. He almost immediately looked down at the floor. I could tell he understood what I meant. We walked back to our van in silence. After driving for a while Max broke the silence.

“Why don’t we make our own tech?” asked Max unsure of what I would say.

I looked up from the van floor and smiled.

“Of course!” I exclaimed, “Why didn’t we think of this before?”

Max stared at me in surprise, his mouth agape. Once we got back to my house we set up a workshop in my garage and got to work.

Two Years Later

Our Automatic Smart Lock or A.S.L. was finally complete. After a couple tests and an impenetrable firewall was put into place, the A.S.L. was ready to be sold. We looked into different companies and finally settled on Forever Tech. They offered $400,000 with a 25% loyalty. I drove home after a long day of business, a smile on my face. I called Max and said we got the deal.

“That's great. No scratch that, it's awesome!” Said Max.

The next day I woke up thinking what could be our next investment? I finally concluded that teleportation would be great although it could take years to develop. I sighed this is going to be a long day of planning.

Eight Months Later

“Finally,” I said to Max, wiping the sweat from my forehead, “The prototype is finished.”

The teleportation device wasn’t much. All you had to do was type some coordinates you wanted to go and POOF, you're there. We haven’t tested ourselves but we’ve sent something to random places around the world.sometime we .that's Eight months in building and exposisiongs. When I muttered checking my phone maybe I should get the family together. Max muttered I am pretty sure we broke the laws of space time. Really? Really max said. I laughed hell yes.

Chapter 2 the calm before the storm

So did you get the job? asked my brother james. No I did not but, I did start building things. Like a smart 15-bit digital lock took months to build. now i'm- sorry but i have to take this i went out to the lobby. Hello, is this Lee father depending on who is asking? I replied.

Yeah this is roger herth from forever tech. technology adventures have sent you a cease and desist letter. if you do not follow it you could die. since when? I asked.

since they had enough money to bribe the law into existence. The law says that anyone technology adventures deem to be a threat to stop making things and shut down their business Roger replied.tell them i am not stopping i don't know about max but will check in roger i said. bye he replied.

beep beep and speak of the devil I muttered. yeah hello max.

hey Lee listen we got a cease and desist letter he said yea i know i replied.

Are you going to bend to them?

I certainly won't, he said,hell no not in a million years i just mean we will have to be even more careful.

alright cheers he simply and ended the call.

eight days later

slip on anticlock googles test one i said.

cloaking in 5 max said

cloaked max said over the radio

Roger, turning on anti cloak

anti cloak is on

i can see you i said

end test i simply replied

The google switched off and I breathed a sigh of relief in the workshop. I looked over to the drawing board and saw a simmer of air. MOVE I yelled while rolling down and forward two gunshots hit the concrete wall where we were just a second ago. I grabbed one pair of metal gloves and the anti cloak goggles putting them on. I saw one person. quickly spriting the length socked him in the stomach. hard. under the googles i saw him fly into a wall. quickly grabbing him i threw him out of the garage and into the street.max? yeah he replied do you think we will have to make weapons. probably yeah he said.maybe that should be our next project. we got to work. one day as we were working on a new type of weaponry the plasma pistol.I came across a problem: how to feed the massive energy requirement of this thing I muttered. So I set to work first and took a bit of plasma and some radioactive materials. a boom sounded out and the bench that the materials were on was gone along with the said materials. what I muttered. I wonder.Hand me some irdum max. He simply nodded, handing me it. you sure this is going to work he asked . ehh probably not but it's worth a shot irdum and plasma went on the table then the radioactive stuff. we waited a few seconds and then a fizz fizz. we waited for it to explode but it didn't. whew now lets see if this works. Hooking it up to the gun I fired a bang and the pliers were gone. it works, said grinning. Why are you so happy? Max asked. proof of concept max proof of concept. right i am going to sleep.goodnight goodnight he replied. I sighed and faced the workbench. wait what. I grabbed my plasma gun only so it wasn't my plasma gun, it was a sword with rings floating on it. A man identical to me blasted me into a wall with a shockwave weapon not even blinking. I rolled forward Max beside me . He was holding two balls of flame in his hand. He shot them at the man. a shield blocked the fireballs. max's gloves started to glow and before i knew it he was encased in a suit of armor. The man blasted the shockwave grenade at him and nothing happened.instantly lowered my swords until they faced the man. then a blast of pure energy erupted from the swords then the dream shifted.a girl screaming and all went black. I woke up at the bench checking my watch. It showed 9:30 AM.

CHAPTER 3 I am the technomage

The next morning I walked into the workshop with a cup of coffee.my eyes were drawn to the whiteboard where it said in big block letters:THE SEEKER RESCUE COPTER Below it was plans for the outside of a helicopter. It was sleek and the notes said it was half the size the old 747 aircraft before technology adventures took it over.They also mention that the outside was bright yellow and white and. I moved over to the other whiteboard and saw the internal plans there was one bed for injured patients and a pilot and co-pilot seat with the notes under them saying it probably wouldn't be necessary as the craft uses A.I to trace a lost or stranded person.max how are you going to get the matera… just then a knife flew right over my shoulder. Sorry a bleary eyed max said appearing out of the shadows it's just i've been working all night on the plans. It's okay with all the stuff going on, I understand.

We really need to move away from here. He nodded.

Three months later

Coming back from the store I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw a girl wearing a pink and gold dress that was common among nobles in tokyo.shaking my head I offered a hand to help her up. She grabbed it and smiled. I am sorry, I said in japanese. She said in basic english no i sorry i no looked where i go. I replied in japanese no no it was my fault. She muttered whatever you say in japanese hey i understood you i growled out. She looked at her watch. Well she said in japanese, it was nice meeting you mr… fother i offered Lee forther. I hope we meet again soon Mr. forther. I nodded and went off to the less shall we say desirable parts of town while she went the other way. When I got back, I went right into the lab. Max how are the gloves and hoverboots going. Well he simply said. He switched on the television that we use to monitor current events. Only to find an announcement in english. We are the omega several voices rasped if you do not bow to use you will be eliminated, they rasped. Furthermore if you do not surrender tokyo toward us you will die. We should go and get the weapons just in case.he nodded.A boom rocked the house we simply looked at each other and nodded. We raced to the helicopter that we built a few days ago grabbing our weapons as we went. Opening the bay doors the A.I started lifting off within seconds we were in the air. As we hovered there we saw a single man. Heading downtown i have detected an explosion the A.I said. I prepared the medical supplies as we flew and put on my surgeon's uniform.as we drew nearer, I spotted a familiar dress. The person in the dress I remembered. Draw us a new path, someone is stuck. Drawing a new path. Activate fabrication of medical equipment as we go.understood fabrication is starting. I grabbed the jet boots and the duffel bag full of medical stuff and put the boots on.opening the door I jumped out with a roar they activated. By a stroke of luck I landed where I needed to be. A pulse and a boinc arm was next to me with a note saying you will need it.putting the case around my free hand it molded into the shape of my arm. Rushing towards the girl I saw a terrorist going towards her as well. Oh No you Dont i thought an ran like hell.i arrived before he did and he started shooting me.I ducked behind the ruin of a building.not even blinking ran back out grabbed the concrete slab pur from on top of the girl and set it sideways.grabbing her i spoke into a mic max you weren't just working on plans for a helicopter were you.no i wasn't he replied.a teleport and a sword was there.i picked it up with one hand dragging her behind a ruin. Stay here, I said in japanese.come out, come out, girl. You will never get to the girl i growled this time in english.he thinks he can stop us. Why yes i think i can. Then I charged out yelling a war cry not unlike the samurai of old.as soon as I got there one drew a sword as well and charged as well our swords collided with a mighty clang. Thank god for practice. I mused as I blocked a strike and returned with my own which barely glanced at him. But it was enough. He fell down with a thundering crash.courtesy of my nanobots.the rest backed away.listen i growed we can do this the hard way or the easy way.the easy way is you lay down your arms and walk away from here or you get captured and forced to reveal who you are.you choose.some laid down their weapons others fired. So let it be snarled and ripped into them, killing some, maiming others badly, the rest scattered.picking her up i went back the way i came and found max and the copter.i need a scan now i said. She is well except for her leg she can't walk on the left one it was crushed.Lee what were you thinking he hissed.trying to save a friend i replied now let's move her into the bed. He nodded and helped me lift her up and onto the bed.do not move she nodded. I turned to max let's help more people.i lifted up the bag going out max trailing behind me.lock the doors unless idefaction is do not let anyone in and montir them.understood sir. Just then a black car came up to us. A man looking like he was 5´4 stepped out of the car.where is my daughter he growled. Name i asked Fai Lang, he replied. Run the girls name.roger she says she is aiko lang. ID I asked. I don't need one he said be that as it may there are ways to pose as someone you are not Mr lang.fine fine he said handing his ID over. Run it i said.it is him.come right though. He entered the copter and came out a few minutes later.Is it true that you saved my daughter from certain death. Yes it is true but i couldn't have done it without my partner max.don't downplay your own role lee you did fight off a lot of terrorists.With only a sword.fine fine i grumbled just leave alone to invent in peace.if what your friend is saying is true mr forther than house lang owes you a debt that cannot be repaid. The House of forther acknowledges the debt and accepts it.mr myers as you had helped save my daughters life house lang also owes you a life debt. House Myers acknowledges and accepts the debt.i shall see you later. We both nodded. Oh and can i have my daughter back.sure.i went inside and put her on a hover stretcher and flew her out.thank you Lee she rasped.

CHAPTER 4

As we took off and flew farther into the city we saw soldiers fighting the terrorists. I remembered an old war cry used by my friends in war games grabbing the sword I jumped. Landing amongst the soldiers I started running toward the terrorists. blood for blood i roared one shot me in the shoulder. Ignoring the pain I roared and sliced and stabbed them. Within seconds they all were disabled or dead.looking down at my outfit i really need a new one.you got one max said.suddenly armor fell out of the sky and attached itself to me, on the side a crest that said sanguis enim sanguis with a purple color and a red stripe. The background was a sword and axe behind the crest with a crown on top and ivory on the sides. The suit itself was red and black with a blue visor and hover metal hexagons.how do know all this? i muttered.behind you a soldier screamed in japanese.i ordered the hovering metal to form a shield grenade detonated on the shield. You got this here?.they nodded. I took off and started heading towards the center once again.a little while later I saw a little boy crouched down while a terrorist fired where he was. Drawing my sword I landed next to him. What wrong I asked.sister sister He repeated in japanese sobbing pointing towards a girl next to him.max i need help now and yes bring the copter. Roger. Soon a whooshing noise was heard and max dressed in white and red armor jumped down and thrust his hands at the slab and it grew and changed to steel.that should hold.he picked the girl up and ran a scan and said she's just uniconsics.put them both in the helicopter. Name? The boy asked. i am technomage and he is well i’ll let him tell you. The constructor he said in basic japanese. Lets go i said putting them in the copter take them to the nearest hospital i ordered the copter. I took off and shot the terrorist blasting toward the center of the city.its him one shouted. Aw nice you know me. A man came out and yelled to hold him off. Fine, I muttered and drew my sword charging at them cutting them into pieces. A roar drew my attention and an entire regiment led by max ruthlessly gunned down the terrorists. I flew off and found more people, little girls and boys young and old so many devastated too many. A tiny girl's mom died being gunned down. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts and called the chopper and loading another person on it . head to the hospital. It rose up into the air and headed towards the nearest hospital and small pop later max was onboard the army can take care of the rest.i nodded and sat down the days events finally getting to me.soon i fell asleep on the copter

CHAPTER 5

As we landed at the hospital a cheer rose up from the crowd outside which quickly made a path for us. I quickly picked a person up and went inside the hospital. Others hobbled behind me and Max was carrying a small girl on his shoulder who was babbling in koren. As soon as we walked up to the desk a man asked us if there were any more children. 2 or 3 I replied. He nodded and ordered the nurse to take care of the children first.I went out and found a lot of nurses putting patients on stretchers and hauling them in.thats the last of them i said to the nurses. We have to go now constructor. roger technomage heading out. A second late he was by my side.you gave her the address? Yes he said now lets go.we stepped into the copter and flew off. When we reached the house we took the armor off. Max muttered it should be here somewhere. Ah there it is he said pressing a button two things appeared out of the wall. What are they? Secret storage closets that also clean the suits. Putting our suits in we went upstairs and both went two the 2 floor and took a shower. As I showered I took the time to reflect and found myself worrying about aiko.she will be fine i reassured myself. I went to bed and fell asleep.Beep Beep Beep i woke up groggy grabbing some pants and a shirt and pulling them on, i went down to watch the news. In other news an attack on tokyo left people wounded. This just in two superheros called the technomage and the constructor saved hundreds of people with no regard for their safety here they are fighting off terrorists and helping the army keep people safe,whoever they are i hope they are safe and alive.i shut the T.V. off. Dammit dammit i hissed we will become a target now.only our superheros personas we are still safe. I nodded. And then the phone rang. Time, I asked in english max 11:30 AM US time. Roger should be calling us now. Hello I said in english how may we help you today.yeah lee there is a problem with the plans max sent us. What is it he asked.the plans call for an absolutely massive amount of things.oh i might have sent you the prototype model hang i will send you the finished plan. A few seconds I got them thanks. Anthor ring this time from my cell. Hang on, I will be right back, I told them. Hello, I said. Hello mr forer how are doing. Why hello there Mr lang i wasn't expecting a call so soon. There is a problem at the hospital. I nodded and why are you calling me.terrorists he simply said how do you know? Well if the fighting style from you and the technomage was the same and armor falling from the sky onto do not worry i altered the footage. House forther thanks you for your assistance wishes to know how they could assist in the future. Sir anthor explosion this time in a small settlement A.V.A reported.understood i said and turned back to the phone needed to go i said and hung up. A.V.A suit? Ready indeed. I ran down to the workshop and put on the suit. inform max of my departure i said before blasting off towards the coridants supplied by A.V.A. What am I thinking? i hoverd and just teleported there. The sight I saw was scary, a base there, why just why and how it formed somewhere isolated.nevermind i muttered and drew my sword now is not the time technomage.fine A.V.A get me back to base a teleport and i was back at base.you think we should go visit in uniform for the children. Yes I agreed, smiling broadly.max was at base with his uniform to teleport us there. A small pop and we were standing at the same hospital we visited a couple days ago. Days it felt like weeks I thought. We nodded and pushed the doors open and went to the desk. Upon seeing us the nurse smiled and waved us though towards the children's wing.when we got there the doctors seemed surprised to see us.how are the children i asked.good but the ones you rescued have been telling the others about you.kids will be kids i said in english. Then switching back to japanese where are they?all are in their beds

He replied.so we went around checking in on everyone. When we got to the playroom we saw kids running.i saw a couple of faces i knew. I remembered an old hymn and started singing...

the itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

down came the rain and washed the spider out

out came the sun and dried up all the rain

then the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain

and the itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout again

As i finished the last of them fell quiet and then started in one voice

the itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout

down came the rain and washed the spider out

out came the sun and dried up all the rain

then the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again

down came the rain and washed the spider out

Out came the sun and dried up all the rain

and the itsy bitsy spider went up the waterspout again

And a nurse popped in and saw them all singing and me just smiling. Putting a finger to the speaker and shaking my head I went down the hallway. Was that a voice asked behind me, I saw a male nurse walking behind me. It indeed was I said.i have never seen them so quiet before. Not even when they were brought in.really? Yes I smiled. I told him I had to go and teleported back to base.

Putting the suit away I turned and breathed a sigh of relief.status everything's quiet A.V.A repted. No terrorist activity. Keep monitoring things and update me if anything happens. Walking out of the lab I grabbed the phone on my desk and went to the car. Driving off back into the city I noticed a flower shop stopping, grabbed it, went to the hospital, wentoh inside and waited. When i got to the front desk the girl asked who i was and who i was visiting Lee forther here to visit aikido lang. ID she asked. I showed her the japanese version. Would you like the english one as well? That won't be necessary. Go ahead 3rd floor room 212 wing G I nodded and went up. Hello a voice said are you looking for someone. I Turned around and found a male nurse facing me. Yes, I was told that someone I know was on this floor aikido lang. You will have to go up one more this is the second floor thank you I nodded and headed back to the elevators. I went and checked yep I was on the second floor. I pressed the button above it and went to the third floor.you can reveal yourself whoever you are. Dang It a man with sea blue eyes muttered. Who are you? I asked calmly in english James O'Connor hospital security. ID. here. everything seems to be in order. It was nice meeting you, I said as the bell dinged nice to meet you, he said, pressing a button and becoming invisible. The doors opened and I stepped out to a bunch of people who were standing on the side I nodded and gestured to them to get in. Only me, I said and then they all piled into the elevator and closed the doors. I started walking to wing G. When I got there I looked for 212 room 210 211 looking at the third sign. I saw what I was looking for stepping in. I called out Aikido. Can I come on though? Yes she said her voice sounded a bit raspy like she hadn't talked in days. I stepped in and crossed the room to her bed. How are you holding up these days? Good but being cooped up with nobody else to talk except for the occasional nurse.I really appreciate you being here.that what friends do for each other. Oh I almost forgot. I said putting flowers by her bedside I brought you flowers. Thanks Lee she said smiling in that moment her whole face seemed to light up with happiness.in that moment i wondered what it would be like to see that smile every waking moment of the day.I smiled back.so tell me have you been drawing anything. Something she adimted. Show me. I’d rather not. Please Please Please. Fine she grumbled and pulled a notebook out from her bedside and flipped open the notebook.. This one is you and max in your supersuits. How do you know we are superheros.it was easy the helicopter i saw the armored men came down was the same one you guys put me. That and my dad told me. Here she said and showed me it. There was me and max max in alternating while and red with me standing next to him, both of us in full uniform with my blue visor and max with his green one. Do you like it? I do, I said smiling. We talked about none important stuff until I glanced at my watch. it was lovely seeing you aiko and do you want me to drop by tomorrow. yes please she said.i nodded and went outside the room pleased that she was doing so well. As I walked back toward the elevators I wondered what life would be like if I was hired by technology adventures. Perhaps in another life I was. Pressing the elevator button I stepped inside and pressed the Ground level button. A small vibration caught my attention. Squaring up my fists, I called out who is it. A boom was my only answer then, the elevator started falling rapidly. Damn it I snarled. As the glass elevator continued falling, a sizzling sound was heard and the next moment James O'Connell was standing next to me. That is the emergency brakes. Anthor boom. Correction: I said that was the emergency brakes. What do you have on you? He dumped his pockets in them was a pistol and a parachute. anything else like a screwdriver he pulled one from his utility belt and dumped the mag of the pistol.what are you doing he yelled.nevermind that now how long do we have. Almost 17 seconds before impact at current rate.i started taking apart the pistol find the firing mechanism i took it out. 10 seconds James yelled. Starting to attach it to the parachute. 9 seconds he yelled. Taking the entire thing and stuffing the strings in and around. 8 seconds. Taking aim I yelled and grabbed onto him. 7. 6. 5. 4.clibimg to the top of the elevator I opened the hole i pulled both of us up 3 2 he yelled one i muttered and fired the parachute gun it diploid and both of us were shot into the air then the parachute unfurled and lifted us up just as the elevator crashed into the ground.that was close james mutterd ya think i asked. We both nodded and I handed him his dismated gun.

CHAPTER 6

As I drove home I started to reflect on the day's events. What was most worrying was that the assassin had found me in Tokyo and tried to kill me in a hospital. ring ring. Hello, who is this? Yeah lee where were you all day.just visiting aikido. He said you were just “visiting” or were you doing something else he said. I was just visiting, I insisted. Max laughed just pulling your leg mate. Yeah so anyway how did the deal go. it went great he said cheerfully. What should our next project be? I don't know but how about nanites? unsure if we could do it at all. We talked until I got to our base. stepping out of the car I headed down into the lab and grabbed a pen and some papers. After I was finished drawing the outside, I started planning internals. The core would be the same one we used for the plasma guns but much much smaller. a tiny wire would shock a person into locking their joints together. Another one called for the naties to act like t-cells another one acts like wound healing and skin regrowth, I built the first batch of Nantes and started testing with rats. First, I cut a palm open and injected the wound healing. Said wound healed immediately. Cutting the other paws it also healed immediately.

Three months later

After relentless testing and then some I fired up the factory in the lab.within minutes it was working. i thought about my visits to Aiko. How much has happened in the past few months? still no sign of omega. an alarm rang grabbing the suit I called max.alarms just rang I said and hung up. AVA report I barked. Omega is preparing to move in on new york. I finished suiting up and went to the copter. I have a faster way if you do not mind sir. Do it.are you sure sir it is incredibly risky.just do it.fine. Teleporting in 3 2 1.i found myself right outside new york.a boom sounded. the battle for new york had begun. running fast into the thick of things drawing my sword I found omegas men firing at a boy. Agin I muttered. Running toward him I slammed my sword into his stomach. Getting to the boy I saw he was bleeding badly. Taking the injection I put into his skin. Initially his skin began to heal and scab over. A woosh caught my attention and military helicopters with max aboard I stepped aside and nodded constructor technomage. How many so far, almost 15,000 by my count max said.what is this an army? Well yes one said with an air and navy.i hopped on as another boom sounded and looked up.can't you just intercept them.don't know. AVA hack into omegas systems. On its boss a boom sounded and I looked up and saw planes turned into dust.what were they carrying.antimatter bombs. I just raised an eyebrow. Where were they going? The Whitehouse. I raised an eyebrow. Suddenly I heard a whistle. Get down I growled talking the men out of the helicopter not a moment too soon as it exploded.well he muttered there goes our equipment that's not a problem I said as new equipment appeared. Running father into the city my blood ran cold as a boy was being beaten by omegas men. not even blinking I holster my weapons and sneak up on them and punch the gang leader in the head.hard. Grabbing the boy I ran back to the copters.w got a lock. weapons out I told them and held on. with a bang we were at omegas base. running through the endless halls I ordered ava to find a route. Suddenly a punch came out of nowhere. Not even blinking I dodged and tazed him.tying him up I muttered this was too easy and teleported out and into a prison dropping him off I said stay and teleported away.

Chapter 7

He what i ROADERD.i am telling you he escaped max said rubbing his temple.our work all for nothing i roared. nothing i muttered. well some good news is that aiko is out and she might drop by soon.really really he replied. I smiled. A ding.that's her he said.i smiled and looked out of the window and sure enough it was in that dress.the same one i saw her in dress.the one i saw her in nearly a year ago was it really a year ago.shaking my head to clear those thoughts i greeted her and smiled. How have you been? Fine fine.I heard about what happened. You did.Of course I did she said how could I not. I have my ways. Of course you do, I muttered , shaking my head. Just then I heard a high pitch whistling and glass shattering.looking at the wall I saw an explosive. Well I said pulling out a blast shield from under the couch. here we go again. Just as I brought it up the bomb exploded. Well i said cheerfully thanks for visiting aiko but now i have to deal with hitmen and bombs i grumbled. thanks for visiting and wanna grab some coffee i asked.maybe sometime tomorrow.sure she said. Just as another boom reverberated through the house. Another boom and the doorway shook.good bye i said cheerfully. Be wary of the bricks on your way out i said stepping away from the doorframe just a dozen bricks collapsed. In my face. armor on and my armor was on.anti cloak.three red pings 2 on the left. Moving quickly I used the gauntlet and punched him in the stomach. The other decloaked and started firing at me. A bullet himt and I staggered back before being blown back into the wall. Shaking it off I staggered forward and punched the other one as well, throwing him into the wall behind him, deactivating my suit and putting it away. I saw only a shallow cut.a punch slammed across my face.i scared my hands up and rushed him.he blocked 2 before a punch to the gut forced me to stumble back.running forward i kicked him hard and then threw a punch to his face just as max came back.what happened here? He asked with a raised eyebrow

Chapter 8

Thugs hitem or both i dont and i don't care. Suddenly my phone dingned from an unknown number.huh I looked at the message which was what looked to be an old ROT13 code the one used to program the computers. bzrtn cynaavat nffnhyg ba Ubat Xbat naq gur Vgfhxhfuvzn Fuevar nf jryy nf gur nf fgnghr bs yvoregl pnyyvat va fbzr byq sevraqf gb uryc cerirag gurfr nggnpxf-wnzrf B'Pbaaryy.what the i muttered this is gonna be a headache.Lee max asked as he stared at it.i pulled an old transtor up from the internet and the message is omega planning assault on Hong Kong and the Itsukushima Shrine as well as the as statue of liberty calling in some old friends to help prevent these attacks-james O'Connell.below it was do not respond in all caps.what can he... i was cut off as alarms blared A.V.A report a bomb has gone off and denoted part of the area around the Itsukushima shrine suit on i commanded max, can you take care of hong kong.yeah suit up he said as the suit teleported next to him. I teleported and found myself falling at 80 miles per hour. A ion powered jetpack popped out my back and righted me. you better have a reason i grumbled to A.V.A. Oh I do the A.I repid smugly. Just as i landed 2 sniper shots fired and landed next to me a boom and i was knocked unconscious.

I woke up in a white room.we knew you would come.I looked around frankly.let me guess in built speaker systems.yes the voice on the other end grumbled.suddenly a wall panel flipped revilng a TV.i watched in horror as omega opened fire the bullets destroying the stone walkway and wood the held the structure together.i watched ass fire rained down on new york leaving many building destroyed and the statue of liberty imploded.I watched as tokyo was shelled and civilians were killed max trying his best but getting pinned down under a rain of machine gun fire rained down.As suddenly as it started it stopped.then bombs rained down on the focuses one rocked the area and part of wall exploded and i was sukked out as the amor came back to me and the jetpack activated. As I blasted toward the shrine, two swords appeared in my hands, the same swords I saw in my dream. Opening fire upon the omega troopers i hit one of them allowing the people to escape.3 bangs and the rest were down. hello the man said calmly i am sniper.reaching out to shake his hand just as heard a whoosh and flipped him behind me just as the rocket hit.the explosion sent me flying through the air.at the last minute the thrusters activated.landing i turned to the left.and that would be explosive he muttered. anthor ,man came out with a rocket launcher.what he said i was bored.for god's sake explosive he doesn't have shocker armor nor can he stop a rocket in midair. fine the other one grumbled.well boys lets get to work a voice behind me said.I jumped and pointed my swords as the women.then i saw sniper and explosive laughing.and i am knives she and don't worry about those two she said their as mature as a puppy and nine year old. you must be the technomage.I am i confirmed. well let's get to work elemental and archie are taking care of NY and the southern cointet.I think constructor is doing tokyo and archie seriously.the man's a marksmen one of the best but only uses a bow.exposilve your with him.everyone else get to work. as i flew off i saw sniper was following me take as many as you can try not to kill everyone as two of the omega solders rounded the corner guns pointed towards a child's head a bang and the man was dead.another bites the dust he sang and another one he counted as blew one mores head off. gonna get you two. as i stabbed another solder. there all gone he muttered i don't like this i growled just as giant mech rose out the ground.where did they get that.doesn't matter explosive will take... boom the mech was in pieces. well that's that. he shrugged and omega append and set down a bomb good luck snarled and then disappeared. A.V.A cant the A.I rebuild.explosive bomb defusal please.10 explosive cut the red wire. 9 the tripware had been disabled 8the blue wire was cut.7 he was tased 6. 5. 4. 3 he was back on his feet and cut the wire leading to the clock.2 the clock was still running as bright red shield made out fire slammed down.1 i forgot to tell you its a nuclear one dang it the man muttered.Is a nuke going to be the way we end .3 beeps sounded.in he vault explosive muttered and threw in in a bag.it is in holding we can transfer it later he said let's all go out for drink yea.i nodded and said well we almost died today and you idiots think about in a summer dress out a drink.See i told you knives grumbled.i wonder whats shadow doing.ahh who cares sniper said.lets go i muttered

Chapter 9 calm down you idiots and take a break

I took a seat on the wooden and leather chair across from me aikido lang sat in a light yellow summer dress with a cup of coffee.I took a sip of the coffee.never thought this would happen.me neither she replied a slight smile one her face as she took a sip of her coffee. When i first started doing the stuff and living here i never thought tokyo would be the target of a terrorist attack.i camly eyed the room.what she teased getting paranoid.it's not paranoia when they are out to get you.true she agreed. Anyway how is your work going.it going great the helicopter is ready for search and rescue radar sonar hell even infrared and thermal. And the record she asked.the depths are being tested.how about the supersonic plane we managed to cut the constant sound and fuel consumption the first model should be ready around 2 weeks.and naites? she asked.those can't replace casts just yet it can however help the bones heal faster i said taking another sip.What have you been up to? I asked taking a sip.nothing much just drawing.you gotta show me some.you really should be an artist or a book cover creator.Looking into both of those she grinned while taking a sip.This reminds me of something if up is down and right is left what is forward and backward.back would be forward and forward would be backward.No those would stay the same because forward is the way you are facing regardless of direction.say if left is right and right is left would the way a martial artist back kick change. No because of the fundamentals it's a back kick not a side kick.back kick is more like sidekick than back kick so it would depend on the kicking leg wouldn't it.that depends on how you define it i shot back. True true.we talk for about 5 hours before we both separated our two ways.same time next week? I asked.Yes she said.i got in my car and drove off. A ring was present and and o ordered ava to answer the call.hello max get here now.use the porter.A.V.A port us.a vroom and a bang i found myself outside the residence put the car in the garage i ordered the A.I. and find out what happened in there.Yes sir. Shall I inform max of your presence yes where is he.the bunker the A.I repield. I went down to the bunker and handed max a coffee.thanks.what seems to be the problem.the plasma refuses to form. Give me i grumbled and feed the thing some plutonium.he did. The thing powered up and when max pulled the trigger the test board was gone.What the hell did you do max? I roared .I might have messed with atomization.he said sheepishly.and not mage to make this thing explode i grinned. He grinned back and we got to work on ion powered rockets.

Three months later…
