In 2019 the world began buying up firearms feeling the end of the world on their shoulders, almost everyone starting to become that one guy hiding out in his house with a private armory and a stockpile of ammo, people were becoming paranoid and buying guns from where ever they could, even if it led to hurting or even killing other people. While chaos was happening in the streets and in alley ways, the arms trading business was making a killing, both literally and figuratively, arms companies were almost rolling in money off the blood of innocent people and their workers.

One company was trying to jump into the field with the other arms companies around the world and trying to get their share of the cash that the arms companies were getting from the blood of people, the company had opened up a new division to quality sell guns to the public. The new division had a different C.E.O than the actual C.E.O. Himself.

6:00 in the morning, in Japan, a young woman awoken in her small apartment, she was a pale young woman, but she was missing her right arm from the elbow and missing her left leg from the knee. She was wearing a small tank top and a pair of shorts, the woman leaned up throwing the covers off her self and reached under her pillow to grab her walking prosthetic, she put it onto her knee and slowly stood up and went into the bathroom to wash herself.

While the young woman went into the bathroom, there was a knock at the door, then another and another knock, the knocks began to get consistent, and repetitive to the point where it seems like some one had a grudge against the door or like the other side of the door just got into a fight with someone that was very impatient and didn't like waiting for others who had something to do at the time.

The young woman came out of the bathroom still in the clothes she slept in not having time to shower and yelled to who ever was at the door."I'll be there in a minute !" But the response was just another hard knock in which the woman just yelled again after sighing."Give me a second hold on !" After she yelled at the door she headed for the door and opened her front door to be greeted by a slender but voluptuous woman in a black suit with bright purple eyes.

Behind the woman was large person in what looked like heavy body armor and a gas mask on their face. The suited woman soon brought the young woman's attention back to her." Oh my well I guess we came a little too early, Ms.Kurosawa. One of us didn't think about common courtesy of sleeping people." The suited woman eyeballed the large armored person behind her while she stayed facing the young woman.

" Don't call me Ms.Kurosawa, just call me Eiko please. If you selling something I do not want it." She told the two, the suited woman stared at Eiko growing a small smile on her face she then bowed in front of Eiko before saying ." Well Eiko, I do not plan on trying to sell you anything ma'm, I only want to hire you for my compan.." The woman stopped herself when she saw the prosthetic leg and looked up to Eiko's face, she began to examine the young pale woman silently and judge her in the silence of her mind.

" Do you possibly have an older sister that shares the same name as you ? " The woman asked with a smile still as if nothing could exactly go wrong in the world.

" No." Eiko swiftly answered.

" Perhaps a brother or a mother with the same name or maybe a cousin ?"

" No, and god no." Eiko looked at the armored brute behind the woman." Is there a reason for all of these questions ?" Eiko asked her.

" Well yes it is ! "The suited woman's face and she kinda glared at Eiko." I expected to come here and see some type of sexy assassin with curves that would make a weak man's nose bleed or a woman that looks like a badass chick, not some short girl wi-." Before the suited woman could continue her rant, Eiko managed to swiftly kick the woman in the face with her prosthetic, while she was dazed from the sudden attack, Eiko grabbed her and spun her towards the large armored person.

She put her left arm around the woman's neck and her right nub arm over the woman's shoulder to get a better hold on her, The large armored person that accompanied the suited woman drew a handgun and aimed at Eiko, suddenly a deep female's voice came from the gas mask." Let Ms.Minami go !" The large armored woman ordered Eiko. The pale young woman stared down the large armored person and didn't fear them but before she could act and do anything to Ms.Minami or the armored brute, Ms.Minami spoke to the armored brute."M-Maya, wait, Shes exactly who we're looking for."

Ms.Minami shook as Eiko held her tight against her small form, "For a small girl your pretty strong." Minami tried to compliment her, but Eiko use her left arm to choke Minami for calling her small." Why don't you let me go and I can tell you why me and my companion are bothering you this fine morning." Minami managed to say as she was being choked. The large armored person pulled back on the hammer of the pistol while staring at Eiko, forcing her to let up on choking Minami.

Eiko thought about it for a moment and took a breath, she was in a stand down at the moment and wouldn't really get too far in this fight with only one arm, she decided to just sound tough and give the big one a mean look." I'll let you go, but if you try something funny, call me short again, and I'll break your neck, then kill your friend over there with her own gun." She threatened them both. The armored brute glared at Eiko through the gas mask and told her." Like hell you will." in a low growl, but still Eiko slowly let Minami go, the second Minami was free she took a deep breath full of air.

Minami quickly brushed her shoulder that Eiko had her nub over, Eiko rolled her eyes as Minami brushed her shoulder off." Minami what do you want, why are you and your big friend here ?" Eiko asked her. Minami quickly fixed herself and took another deep breath trying to be classy, but clearly she was still a little shaken up from the whole being grabbed and choked situation from earlier, even her long black hair hair was a little messy. " Oh...Uh..Well you don't really need to call me Ms.Minami, since you want me to call you Eiko, You can just simply call me Jun." She told Eiko while keeping a smile.

Minami..Jun was starting to look like a door to door saleswoman that was suppose to always keep a smile even when the door was slammed on her." Well my companions told me of your past exploits stories of how skilled you were and missions you've completed and I wanted to ask you to be apart of my business, my little division that I like to call Minami corp, Minami Inc, Minami.." Before Jun could continue speaking Eiko interrupted her."N-no, I'm not joining, I don't care what type of desk job or security job you want me to be apart of but I refuse your offer now leave."

While Eiko was closing the door on Jun, the suited woman put her foot in the door and kept it open." Well Eiko, this isn't some normal security job, or some desk job where you would sit around and get fat, it would be a job where you would see the world really, I know for sure that when you were a mercenary that you traveled the world with the Phoenix five, some of the best mercenaries from around the world, and when they disbanded you disappeared, the others are either dead, or out of action for good. I refuse to just get to you the last of them to only be turned away."

" I was hoping showing up with a smile would be a nice different approach." Jun instantly turned from nice saleswoman to a sales person that wasn't taking no for an answer, when Eiko tried to turn away and slammed the door on Jun's foot either trying to break it or get her to leave desperately." I want you to be my body guard, my traveling bodyguard, when I'm out of the country I want you to be by my side." Jun informed her of the job she wanted Eiko to do.

The pale young woman closed her eyes and tried to push harder on the door, her hands shook violently as if she was scared of something, or scared of Jun."No, I-I can't, I can't fight any more, I-I won't fight anymore, can't you see that I can't ?" Eiko said in a scared tone, she couldn't figure out why she was so scared right now, and put all her weight against the door to block Jun out of her apartment.

Jun shoulder charged her way into the apartment and almost knocked Eiko over, she stumbled but managed to catch herself before falling over, Jun started to scan Eiko with her purple eyes. She could see the fear Eiko had within her, but she could also see something else." Your afraid now, but I can see something else in you, it's a want, no not a want. A need, a need to get out of this apartment, I don't know how long you've been cooped up in this place or what you've been doing to sustain yourself here. But I'll say this to you. Your a fallen Phoenix turned to ashes, if you let me, I'll help you rise from your actions and become a powerful Phoenix once again."

Eiko listened to Jun silently and stared at the suited woman, she didn't know what to think about Jun's words, and didn't know whether if they were from an old anime or just something Jun made up on the spot either way it sounded oddly inspirational in a way. Jun pointed at Eiko but also seemed to pose as well." Right now your distressed and clearly not ready talk about this, this job is clearly a big deal and may need some time to think it over." Jun told her before taking a business out of her suit jacket.

Part of Eiko just thought of saying no to the purple eyed woman, but another part of her wanted to just down right accept, the other side of her that wanted to accept was eager to see what Jun would do if she said yes to her being her body guard, it also wanted to get back into the habit of hurting other people, it wanted Eiko to feel the old adrenaline rush, it wanted her to feel the blood wash on her pale skin, the bones of others breaking and actually get hurt in a fight, it was odd but she wanted to feel it again, Jun placed a black business card into Eiko's hand.

The business card was completely sleek and felt like a touchscreen to a phone, it was completely onyx in color, but soon Jun's company name appeared on the card in bright purple lettering, then an address appeared on it. Eiko watched as Jun let herself out and closed the door behind her, While Eiko stayed in her home all day she gazed at her small apartment, looking around at the tiny furniture she always usually plopped down on before she would waste her days watching television.

If she wasn't watching television she would be looking out the various windows in her apartment down at the people below from her window, at times she would wonder how long the fall from the level she was at would be, she noted how she would rarely leave her home to do things and if she would she would hardly speak to people even her neighbors. Eiko went back to her bed and sat down on it before falling back onto her bed looking a the business card that Jun handed to her she thought about what Jun told her, Eiko dropped the cool feeling card on her chest and closed her eyes.

When Eiko awoken the next morning, she was in the same position she was in when she slept, she leaned up and felt tired with herself, and tired with the apartment she was living in, she knew that if she kept staying in this apartment she was either gonna kill herself, or do go on a rampage before being killed by someone. Eiko quickly washed herself up before she put on a simple pair of black pants, a simple white t-shirt, and a navy blue leather zip up hoodie, Eiko quickly grabbed her wooden arm prosthesis and headed out of her home without her keys to make sure she wasn't coming back.

After a couple bus rides and a short walk, Eiko found the address, the the address led to a large building that looked like an onyx shard sticking out of the earth, it stood tall enough for Eiko to think that it was piercing the heavens above, only the company that Jun worked for could build a building that would pierce the heavens, or at least would be close to the breaching troposphere, Eiko stopped ogling the tall building and walked into the building with her left hand inside of her jacket pocket and her hook hand into the other.

The Atrium of the building was gigantic and looked like something from the future, everything looked like it was made out of white marble and glass, even the greet's front desk was pretty big and looked fancy, Eiko approached the front desk and was greeted instantly by one of the several women that stationed the large desk, the woman greeted Eiko with a large almost disturbing smile, well at least to Eiko's standards." Yes how may I help you Miss ?" She asked Eiko in a nice tone of voice, Eiko handed the woman the card Jun gave her and said." Miss Minami sent me, I want to see her, I don't have an appointment, I'm not making some delivery, and I'm not some sort of call girl or something." Eiko told her in a harsh tone.

The woman kept her smile and picked up a phone on her side of the desk and dialed up a number while still keeping her smile, while the phone rang, Eiko half expected security guards to come and escort her out of the building, but when someone answered the phone on the other end and Eiko heard a woman's voice, she felt somewhat relieved, after hearing a couple of " Yeses." The woman at the desk told Eiko to take the main elevator to the top floor. After navigating through a couple of halls and getting some directions from the employees in the building Eiko made her way to a set of giant marble doors.

Before Eiko could even touch the doors, they opened up automatically, on the other side of the doors there was a giant office, with grey granite marble floors and walls, at the other end of the office there was Jun, she stood behind a large desk and had her back towards Eiko, she was staring out the windows in her office. When Eiko stepped in the office and approached the desk, Jun immediately spun around hearing Eiko's prosthetic foot hit the floor, Jun almost cracked a grin seeing Eiko." So, I take it you thought about my offer ?" Jun asked.

Eiko put her left hand onto the desk and almost struggled to even speak, her left arm began to Shake and she tried her best to control her left arm, but then she managed to regain herself after taking a breath." Yes, and your right, I-I am aching to get out into the field, but I...I...I don't think that I could fight the way I am and I don't believe I could be good enough to help you out in the field." Eiko told her, she put Jun's card onto the desk with her left hand and Looked Jun in the eye with her sapphire colored eyes.

Jun stared at the pale young woman and crossed her arms." So you came all the way from your home and came here to my company's building to tell me that you refuse ? Do you really want to travel down that long road again ?" Jun asked feeling confused unsure what Eiko was planning, she sat down in her large desk chair and stared at Eiko.

Eiko blinked before giving a stern " No." Eiko stared at Jun with her piercing blue stare." You said if I'd join you that you'd take care of me, and I believe someone in your position will be very wealthy. So being the mercenary that I am, I want compensation before I work for you" Eiko told Jun sounding very assertive.

Jun leaned back in the chair and bit the nail of her thumb before saying." Hmm, you sound different from yesterday, look different too. I guess some part of you came to senses." a grin grew on Jun's face and she let go of her thumb nail." Well I'd be willing to pay you Eiko, but first I'll need you to sign a contract so you don't just run off with your first payment. You know what I mean right ? Just a couple papers with legal documents on them, not that I don't trust you or anything, just something in case something goes wrong." Jun tried to explain in her own way.

Before Jun could take some documents out of her desk for Eiko to sign, Eiko spoke up." Don't worry about me running away Jun, the payment I'm looking for will only be worth an arm and a leg Jun." she told the purple eyed woman. Jun sat down in a large comfy chair and crossed her arms, she giggled at what Eiko said to her."Sorry for laughing, I get where your going, but we still need to set up a contract, and I'll speak to my people in R&D and we'll get you your arm and leg." She said with a smile on her face.



After Jun gotten Eiko to sign a couple contracts, afterwards the two journeyed to the elevator and when both of them entered the elevator and Jun took a card out of her suit jacket and unbuttoned some of the buttons at the top of her shirt to show her cleavage, as the elevator began a speedy descent in the bowels of the building, Eiko stared at the doors in front of them as she began talking to Jun. Okay before we start this bodyguard business I want to go over a couple things, and I have a couple request for you to hear out." Jun just looked over to Eiko as the pale girl seemed to not make any eye contact at all.

" Okay." Jun answered her, Eiko continued to not making eye contact as she started speaking." First we get into a fire fight, I don't want any heroics, or wandering off, if I tell you to go somewhere safe you go to it. Second don't fight with me when I have a bad gut feeling about something, I don't care if it's deal of the year of or sounds too good to be true don't go against my gut. My last boss did the same thing and now I ended up like this and they ended up dead. Third, Don't ever call me short or shorty or make a nick name about my name or call me tiny or anything like that." Eiko told her in a serious tone of voice as the Elevator continued it's long descent.

" Now for my request. First I want a membership to a preferably nice gym or a high classed one, I want a life time membership. Two I want armament of weapons to choose from before you and I travel out of Japan and into another country. Three I want a better high classed apartment that can be defended if I am directly attacked and has style." Eiko finished, she went off the fingers on her left hand with her prosthetic arm hook.

The purple eyed woman nodded as the doors to the elevator opened up behind them and Jun turned around with Eiko revealing a catwalk and a large underground R&D workshop, as Jun walked out onto the catwalk she told Eiko."I'll make sure that you get everything you need to do your job properly." Jun told the young pale woman." But sadly my worker bees may not be the same about calling you by your full name, or short." Eiko sighed before she joined Jun onto the catwalk not really giving the last thing a response.

When Eiko looked down off the catwalk and onto the lower floor, she saw a massive bullpen like R&D area, with white coat scientist making rifles, shotguns, machine guns, pistols, and even tasers, the white coats were working with big pulled back latex gloves and goggles like mad scientist. Eiko was impressed with the amount of weapons on workbenches in the area below her, there were weapons that even looked like Franken weapons or combination weapons that had multiple barrels next to each other, Jun leaned onto the guard rail of the catwalk and looked down to the white coats below.

" Welcome to my Workshop Eiko, down here we make dozens of different weapons, some gadgets, and non-lethal weapons for the self defense force and some gun shops for self defense, I'm sure some of my R&D best can give you the arm and leg you want." Jun told Eiko with a smile on her purple lipstick coated lips, when Jun called this place her work shop, Eiko saw her as some kind of strange Santa Claus that gave out guns to those who were worthy of them. The two began journeying down the catwalk and down a set of stairs into the workshop, when the two of them set foot into the bullpen, both of them walked straight into a group of armed guards with rifles, in front of them was a red headed woman with an eye patch, and a suit with a skirt.

She wore a beret on her head with a winged sword on it, she was berating the group of armed guard before she turned around to see Eiko and Jun. the second she saw Eiko she pointed at her." You ! Who are you !? Are you a employee of this corporation ?! Speak right now !" Before Eiko could speak for herself Jun stepped in front of her and let her be covered by Jun." Chief Kenzie, don't worry shes just my new bodyguard really, for on the go really." Jun explained.

The Chief leaned around Jun to get a better look at Eiko with her good eye and glared at Eiko with her right eye, she looked Jun in the eye before saying before saying." Shes kinda short compared to Maya don't you think ? She also looks like a strong gust of wind will just throw her on her ass Jun." The Chief told Jun bluntly without really caring if Eiko heard her, Eiko walked around Jun glaring up at the tall cyclops as if she was staring down a titan really, she was more than livid when the Kenzie said she was short, but when she disrespected Eiko in front of her face it pretty much hit her berserk button.

" So Chief, I'm guessing your depth perception isn't the only thing you lost when someone took your left eye. If you can't see a fellow veteran when you see one, then you've gone blind. " Eiko told The Chief who began getting angry at her, The Chief stomped up to Eiko, and nearly bumped chest with Eiko, but for Eiko it was more like she had her head right at the Chief's breast." You little shit, if you think I'd count some late bloomer teen as a vet then you got another thing coming, you almost barely come up to my breast." She tried to Insult Eiko again.

Jun tried to step in between the two but only to be ignored and stepped around, Eiko had a straight face before she said."Lady I've been to places around the world that cosmopolitans only wish they could've gone, and I've fought against odds that seemed endless, I will take you on with your little posse" Eiko told the Chief and the guards.

" Fine then let's stop talking and get down to exchanging mittens then. Me and my gurds vs you and your prosthesis" The Chief said while cracking her knuckles, the group went into another room that looked like an old school test chamber with a giant wrestling mat in the middle of the floor, the guards placed their weapons down near the wall, they soon joined Eiko and the Chief on the bright blue wrestling mat." Before me and my guys kick your pretty little face in, tell me your name."

Eiko took her leather jacket off as the Chief spoke and tossed it off the mat, she stared at Chief's red eye" I am Eiko Kurosawa, and that's all you need to know." Before the Chief could get ready Eiko rushed her and her little 4 man squad, Eiko went for the Chief, she jumped no to the Chief only to quickly jump off the tall woman and punch one of the guards next to her while she came down, using her weight and gravity Eiko cleanly knocked him out.

The others began surrounding Eiko and without thinking, one of the guards began trying to charge at Eiko head first, and the pale girl side stepped him at the last minute and close lined him with her wooden arm, the close lined guard nearly back flipped after running into Eiko's wooden arm head first. Out of nowhere one of the guards got behind of Eiko and grabbed her, the other 3 ran towards Eiko with Chief running in with a running punch.

As Chief closed the gap between her and Eiko, the pale girl attempted to break free from the guard's hold, but right when Chief got close, Eiko ducked forward and let Chief punch the guard in the nose and stun him, while he was stunned by the Chief's punch, Eiko slid under the cyclops getting away from her and a quick peek at her fiery red Lingerie. As Eiko jumped back up to her feet Chief turned around with a bright red face." You little per-" Before the Chief could finish, Eiko kicked her in the gut and knocked her into the guard she punched earlier.

While the the two guards came at Eiko, she punched one of them in the groin, then kicked the other guard with the heel of her prosthetic leg, she then turned to see the Chief getting up off the ground, this time she had a small collapsible baton, Chief glared at Eiko with her single eye before saying." I refuse to lose to some late bloomer from off the street, I'm gonna knock those teeth out your mouth."

Eiko stood still and let the Chief come at her and swing the baton close to her, when the baton got close to her, Eiko grabbed Chief's wrist with her hand and kicked Chief's feet out from under her, the pale blue eyed girl twirled the small baton in her hand and pointed it at Chief's chin." Stay down or keep getting knocked down." Eiko told her. Near by the sound of two people clapping could be heard, Eiko turned to the people who were clapping to see Jun and a really tall green haired woman with dark skin.

The tall woman towered over Jun and wore a simple black tank top with some sweat pants, noticing the woman's height and size, Eiko could easily put together that she was the woman that was in the armored suit. Eiko walked over to the the two and looked at Jun then to the giant who crouched down to Eiko." Nice fighting, not many can kick Chief's ass while shes Pmsing, hell Maya here has a hard time doing it." Jun gave Eiko a complement. The giant woman rolled her eyes before saying." I could've kicked Kenzie's ass in half the time. Minus the nut shots though"

Jun sighed before she got serious." Alright now that, the fight is over and you beat my chief of security. let's talk to these egg heads and get you these limbs okay." Jun told Eiko, but before they could leave the giantess stopped the two of them by saying." Hold up, isn't that rude Ms.Minami, you don't even give little me a chance to even introduce my self."

The purple eyed woman sighed,"First world boss problems." She said aloud to no one particularly. Eiko rolled her blue eyes before looking up to the crouching green haired giantess." We've meet before, I remember you from yesterday at my old apartment, Maya right ?" Eiko guessed the fem giant's name. The dark skinned giant cracked a smile before sitting down on the floor." Yup that's my name don't wear it out. But I want to start on a good note really, yesterday was the past and today is a different day."

Maya held out her left hand." My name is Maya Amsel, and yes I am a black German giant, also half American too." Eiko shook Maya's hand with her left hand." Eiko Kurosawa, Chinese, Japanese, American." When they both let go of each other's hands, Maya smiled at Eiko while the thin pale girl just kept a straight face. Jun then stepped in between them with her hands on her hips." Jun Minami, pure blooded Japanese, boss of my own little company, boss of both of you, and the giver of robotic arms and legs."

Maya chuckled at Jun." Alright Jun I'll be quiet and let you take the veteran rookie to see the twins." Maya waved her hands back and forth before crossing her arms, Jun then lead Eiko further into the R&D labs, soon leading her to a lab that looked different from the bull pen that Eiko seen before. The lab looked like it was working on experimental technology, it was a large lab with suits of advanced armor, and weapons that looked like they belonged to a science fiction movie, and some even were, they lined the pristine white walls while the armor stood in glass cases. Eiko believed that whoever had this type of lab must have earned it through some hard work and with great intelligence.

At the far end of the lab there were two children wearing lab coats working on something that looked liek a skeleton from a far, both were little girls wearing lab coats and had bright azure hair pinned up in a ponytail. Jun casually walked in while Eiko almost hesitated while looking at all the weapons and armor around the room, but soon Eiko joined Jun's side, when the two made their way over to the two children, Eiko noticed that they weren't working on a skeleton, but a robot, it had the look of a human skeleton.

Eiko wasn't surprised that the smartest scientist were children, well part of her was, but she was either expecting the person or people capable of making any of the weapon in the room or armor had to either be alien levels of smart, a robot, or someone on another level of intelligence and in this case it just happened to be two kids.

The two kids didn't notice Jun or Eiko and focused on the robot they were operation on, Jun and Eiko silently looked over one of the kids's shoulder's to get a close up look on the robot they were building or fixing.

" Atomic batteries at full power." One of them said aloud.

" Turbines turning at Max speed." The other called out.

Suddenly one of them put their hand into the skeleton robot's stomach and pulled something out saying." I'm not sure what this will do any more."

Then suddenly both of the two kids noticed Jun and Eiko, not recognizing Eiko both of them threw a tarp over the robot and tried to quickly cover it up hoping that Eiko didn't see to much." Lady Jun ! You compromised the project, this person could tell of the big secret thing we've been working on, they could tell others about it and the advanced power armor and.......And..." Before the kid could keep stammering Jun put a hand on the child's head.

" Now now my little elves, I'm sure that my newest Body guard can be trusted my little geniuses." Jun reassured them, after Jun called the two kids her elves, Eiko was sure that Jun was a gun giving Santa Claus now, this was just the North pole, and Eiko was just looking out for the presents that Jun handed out. The two kids gave Jun their full attention as Jun explained what they needed to do for Eiko.

After being told what they needed to do both of them stared at each other, and Eiko noticed they both were identical twins, both stared each other in the eye an mimicked each other's movements, they both put a hand on their chin and talked to one another.

" Missing arm."

" Missing leg."

" You thinking what I am thinking ?"

" If your thinking myoelectrical prosthesis made out of stainless steel, then yes."

The both of them slapped each other's forehead with their off hand.

" No No No ! myoelectrical prosthesis made of a lightweight material to benefit the user's body not a ten pound weight ! "

The other twin sighed before they took their hands off each other's heads." Let's at least measure their amputated zones before we start to argue with each other." One of them told the other. Jun sighed feeling relieved that they aren't gonna argue, well not yet."L-listen Dr.Knight, and Dr.Archer, why don't the both of you just listen to Eiko and ask what she wants instead of arguing."

The two kids looked over to Eiko staring up at her awaiting her answer." Why don't you both make your best ideas and I'll choose which one is the best for me." Eiko told the two of them. Before she knew it both of the two kid's eyes lit up and smiles grew on their faces in excitement. Eiko soon removed her prosthesis and let the two child scientist poke and prod her stumps with different measuring tools as she sat on a clear table.

After both of them wrote down several measurements on two different clipboards the race went on, Jun helped Eiko sit down into a chair and handed Eiko her prosthetic leg. Jun smiled as she watched the twins go to work on the new task given to them," Well now I wouldn't have thought about having them both going against each other, maybe I should make them do that with some of their other projects." Jun turned to Eiko who just put her leg back on and stood up.

" Well while their...Competing, I'll show you too your new home or apartment, I hope you don't mind having a roommate." Jun told Eiko helping the pale girl put on her prosthetic arm and handing Eiko her blue leather jacket. Jun lead Eiko out of the lab filled with science fiction gadgets and equipment, once they left Eiko looked back to the lab over her shoulder and questioned Jun about the two child twins." Umm, Jun, are those two actual Doctors ?."

Jun turned to Eiko with a childlike smile on her face." Why Yes, they were the highest in their class at their college, and were practically bored out of their mind when Maya and I found them." Jun punt a hand on her chin and thought about the twins." Personally I think they suffer from a disease that makes their brains grow faster than their bodies." Jun concluded. After Jun was finished speaking Eiko began thinking that her boss was just a child as well, or at least a child at heart.

" But isn't having children work for you against the law ?" Eiko asked. Jun put a finger on her chin and looked up at the ceiling." Well yes, but that's the reason why I keep them in the basement here, where nobody would see them and ask too many questions, and to be honest, aren't you a little young to be a mercenary ? Would't you be considered a child mercenary ?" Jun questioned Eiko. The pale girl was silent for a long moment before she spoke up.

" Well my identification classifies me as 20, the right age for doing the job." Eiko tried to explain her age. But sadly Jun just gave the stoic pale girl a sour look." Yes, you really look 20 years old Eiko, you really do." Jun said in an exaggerated tone of voice as the two walked back to the elevator. The journey back up to the surface and to an unknown level on Jun's building, was a fast ride up, and when the elevator doors opened, Eiko and Jun were greeted to a hall way that looked like belonged to a luxury hotel.

The floor had nice black tiles with little chimeras carved into them, on the off white colored walls there were several odd paintings, one of the paintings was a large intimidating dog wearing what looked like knights armor, next to the dog there was human who's upper half was cut off by the paintings borders. On the other wall there was a phoenix that looked like missile flying into the sky with long fire trail behind it.

At the end of the short hall there was a large window showing the outside world, Jun walked into the hall with Eiko behind her, Eiko stopped at the phoenix painting staring at it before she caught up with Jun, the purple eyed woman lead Eiko to a door and used some keys from her pocket to unlock the door." I really hope you don't mind having a room mate, I'm pretty sure you won't mind your room mate, their clean, their nice, and have been bugging me to break down the other bedroom in their little apartment."

When Jun opened the door to the apartment the first thing Jun noticed was the wooden floors and more odd wall art the two of them walked into the luxury apartment and noticed a familiar person sitting on a white L shaped couch, in front of them was a large flat screen television, it was the German giantess from before, she was watching some German television show, she had her big bare feet planted on a coffee table.

The second she saw both Jun and Eiko she got up and turned to the two of them turning the television off." Hallo, Guten tag. Nice to see you again." Maya told Eiko before she looked at Jun." Showing everything Jun ? No offence I'd like it if you'd tell me before you just open my door to show the new girl the 'entire' building." Maya said trying to be funny or tell a horrible joke, Jun sighed at Maya before putting Eiko in front of her self and putting her hand on Eiko's shoulder.

" I've found you a roommate !" Jun announced.

Maya cocked an eyebrow and looked at Eiko before Jun continued speaking.

" Since I felt lazy, and didn't want to break down your room to build your study, I did the next best thing."

" So the next best thing is getting me a roommate, you didn't even ask me if I wanted one."

" Well Now you'll have someone to watch German soap operas with or someone to spot you when you lift weights."

Jun was trying to look at the bright side of having Eiko as a roommate, When Maya sighed and before she could say a swear in German or even curse about the situation in their language to Jun, Jun spoke first.

" Oh no you don't go all German speech on me and start speaking German on me missy, I'm your boss remember that." Jun said holding up a finger and having a hand on her wrist, she went from acting optimistic about Maya having a roommate to acting like Maya's mother, Maya let out an annoyed sigh again, she began patting Jun on the head saying." Ja, Ja, I get it mom."

As Jun left the apartment she told Eiko that the twins would be up later, Maya brought Eiko to one of the rooms and showed Eiko a moderate sized room with a simple bed just for Eiko, it had a nice shelf just above the bed with a medium sized flat screen television across from the bed, right at the far wall of the room there was a large window that showed the sky and the city." This will be your room, don't make too much noise at night and don't do what I wouldn't do."

Eiko turned to Maya asking."How would I know what you wouldn't do ?" Maya sighed and rolled her eyes." Well have some common courtesy for your roommate, Kay ? Kay." Maya said before leaving Eiko in the room alone by herself, while Eiko was alone she took off her leather jacket and put it onto the TV stand, Eiko flopped onto the bed and stared at the ceiling.

She brought up her prosthetic arm up into her eye sight and stared at the hook on the end of it, she brought the hook close to her chest, she was finally gonna get rid of her hook and her leg, she wanted to sleep but some part of her didn't want to sleep, she climbed out of the bed lazily and stood up, she went back to her jacket and grabbed an old photo from one of the inner pockets, the picture was an old black and white looking photo.

In the photo was Eiko with a couple other people that looked young, one guy that was somewhat older like an adult, and one child that was on the adult's shoulders, Eiko went over the photo with her hook and then set it onto the Television stand, she laid back down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. When she awoken, it was night and moon was giant in the sky, there was a large black box in the room with a bow and a note on it, Eiko pulled the note off the box and began to read it aloud.

" Eiko, I made sure the Twins worked together to make the best robotic arm and leg imaginable, they made it better than a normal human beings arm and leg, I'm almost considering cutting my arms and legs off for some of these. The twins outfitted both the limbs to give you an extra jolt of energy, don't ask me how they did it, technical mumbo jumbo that I couldn't repeat to save my life. Didn't want to wake you up because you seemed tired when you were asleep." The note was written in neat cursive, it also had several faces on it one of them being a happy face and the other being one of frustration.

Eiko put the note down on the television stand, Eiko pulled the bow off of the box to see a socket with an insert arm here, next to it was just Insert leg here. Eiko took off her prosthetic arm and tossed it onto the bed, she looked at her stump and took took a deep breath before shoving her stump into the socket, Eiko closed her eyes and got ready to feel pain, but nothing happened at least not yet, she soon felt a cold metal object latch onto her upper arm where her elbow should've been, it held her stump in place as it fired a laser onto her bare pale skin.

Whatever was in side the box began to heat up as it attached pieces of metal onto her stump, Eiko felt the heat inside of the box and soon the heat became unbearable and she tried to actually pull her arm out only for it to be restrained inside of the box, Eiko couldn't help but let out a howl in pain as she could soon feel like she had fingers once again, then a thumb, when she felt the hot metallic grip let go of her bright red burned skin she pulled her arm out of the box and fell onto the bed.

Eiko put a hand onto her forehead and felt the side of a metallic finger on her forehead, Eiko looked at her metal hand, wrist, forearm, and even elbow, the arm had a sleek design and navy blue color to it, Eiko balled a fist up with the robotic hand spin the hand around in a 360 degree before turning it back to it's original position. Eiko nearly smiled with the new hand, then she looked down to the second socket and looked at her wooden prosthetic leg, and sat on the bed bringing the heavy box closer to herself.

Eiko took off her prosthetic leg off quickly with her robotic hand, Eiko stood up and placed her leg into the box to be soon greeted with the same metal clamp from before, she felt the heat of the laser and the heat the built up when she felt the parts attaching to her skin and like before and the heat, Eiko only growled as the heat around her lower thigh burned her and the box opened to show let her take her leg out.

The Leg looked like metal armored version of Eiko's wooden leg with the expectation that it still had a normal looking foot, both limbs fitted Eiko and didn't look bulky, which she worried about, she took a step with the new leg and felt like she was able to stand better, if that was even a thing, she felt her stance to be less stiff and a little more natural, she walked out of her room and into the apartment living room to see Maya.

She moved the coffee table out of the way and had an exercise program on the television, Maya was doing push ups in front of the tv mimicking the program, when Eiko appeared behind the couch, the giantess stopped doing ups and sat on the floor with a single bead of sweat on her forehead." Nice your awake, I was seeing how many push ups I could do before you'd wake up, I got to 200 before you walked out." Maya told her roommate. " Before you get your first mission from Ms.Minami you should probably get use to those new limbs." Maya gave Eiko some advice.

Eiko held her robotic arm up and looked at it's hand before she made a fist with the robotic hand, it still did feel a little a little foreign on her arm, she thought it would take a while for her to get use to the arm and leg, but she felt it would just be the arm that would be the problem for her." I'll be fine, I get use to things better under pressure." She told the Giantess before jumping onto the couch and grabbing the remote with her robotic arm and crushing it by mistake." Okay maybe I could train a little bit." Eiko then let the remote's innards fall onto the couch." Or maybe learn to control my arm's strength."

After Eiko took a week to learn how to use her arm, she learned how to properly use her arm without crushing everything she got her hand on, and she got her first escort with Jun, but along for the ride was Maya as well, they went to a meeting, in America, Seattle's Space needle. Eiko traded in her old leather jacket for a hooded combat jacket, while the trio were on their flight to America, both Maya and Eiko had to endure Jun's childish excitement, she was talking extremely fast as she mentioned all the things she wanted to do.

" I can't wait for us to get to Seattle, Ooo you think we can see an American foot ball game or watch a hocky game where a fight breaks out, ooo or maybe a we can get a giant American burger to eat, or or.."

" We can't goof off Ma'am, we have to do our job first and attend the meeting that was set up. I'm sure that if you take a vacation we can come back and consume as many fatty greasy foods as you want." Maya made her settle down a bit, and like a child Jun just sadly sighed but then began to throw a mini tantrum." Come on ! I want to play tourist now though." She began hitting her knees with her fist like an angry child.

Before Maya could attempt to speak again, Eiko spoke up." We'll first attend the meeting and think about seeing sights later, like Maya said before we have jobs to do over here, and America isn't as great as you think Jun." Jun crossed her arms and began to pout before grumbling."Stupid Job has me going places but not letting me do things I want to do."

When the plane landed, the company had a limo waiting for them, before they got into the Limo, the driver got out and opened the trunk for them revealing a small armory in the back of it, but taking up a large amount of space was a large black box that Maya pulled out of the trunk, she dropped it onto the ground saying." Might want to get some body armor under that coat and grab a...What do the kids call'em now Gat."

Maya cracked open the black box revealing a set of full armor." Like always Ms.Briggs I made sure your armor was ready. For the new lady, Jun added a plethora of weapons to the Limo for the two of you to use." The driver told them both, Eiko only nodded to the guy before she took her blue combat jacket off and put on some body armor that was hidden under the black box from before, when Eiko re-donned her coat she felt a little heavy with the body armor on.

Maya began placing her armor on over her black suit that almost matched Jun's suit but in giant size, when the giantess had her armor on she put her bright minty green hair into a ponytail before she put on her helmet. Eiko on the other hand grabbed a simple P90 machine gun and grabbed a small pistol, Maya cocked her head to the side looking at Eiko's choice." Why suck small weapons ?" Maya asked. Eiko turned to the giant woman while putting some extra ammo into her jacket saying." It's not the size that matters, it's about how you use it."

The giant chuckled at Eiko before all of them piled into the limo, when Maya squeezed herself into the limo the whole thing shook causing Jun and Eiko to hold onto the seats just to not fall over, Maya and Jun laughed at the limo shaking while Eiko just did her best to stay stoic, in the situation, when the limo began to drag it's self down the road, Jun reclined in her seat with her arms crossed before she grew a smirk." Okay my noodles, after the meeting we're going to hit all the good sights and take pictures then probably book a room at a nice hotel for the night and go back to Japan tomorrow." Jun suggested.

Maya took off her helmet to speak clearly." Well I'd like to stay but I'm needed back at my family home tomorrow, my Dad's pretty sick, and I gotta look out for them." Maya told Jun who sighed feeling somewhat annoyed, but she then perked right up." Well then me and Eiko could just see the sights." Eiko was checking her machine gun when Jun suggested they stay, but like Maya she had an excuse."W-well I was planning on going with Maya to help her take care of her father, never know what might actually happen to him, she even asked me this yesterday." Eiko tried latch onto Maya's excuse.

" FINE then." Jun groaned." We can go back to boring Japan then." Both Eiko and Maya looked each other in the eye for a second before Maya changed the subject quickly." Eiko the reason I'm here for this meeting, isn't because we don't think your ready to be with Ms.Minami, it's not that, the reason is we're meeting all of our competition today, we just want to make sure Ms.Minami is okay really, nothing against you or anything." Eiko held up her robotic blue hand telling Maya.

" Don't worry about it, if something comes up I'll be glad to have the back-up." Eiko told the giantess, Eiko stared out the tinted windows of the limo watching the people they passed by on the side walk as they gotten closer and closer to the Space needle. The moment they got there all three of them gotten out of the limo and the first thing Eiko noticed were the other black limos that seemed to be parked nearby, it seemed that everyone that worked in the weapons business had to have a black limo.

The three of them went to up to the top of the needle, Eiko put her P90 inside of her jacket the best she could without looking too conspicuous, when the elevator stopped and the doors opened Eiko and Maya walked out while Jun just seemed to shuffle out of the elevator like zombie tired, she was slouched over like she had a heavy object on her back, she didn't want to be there and had the look of someone really bored with the situation." Come on Jun, don't lag behind we we're gonna be late." Maya said to her before grabbing Jun's hand like a child.

Maya began pulling Jun along with her as they walked towards the hall, when they opened the doors there were several tables each having different people than the last sitting at them. The first table Eiko noticed was a table that had a grey suited old man with several women dressed as maids surrounding him, the old man had balding white hair, the maids that surrounded him all were all young women with various french maid outfits and different colored hair.

The next table that Eiko laid her eyes on was a table that had a dark skinned man with a navy blue trench coat and black sweater, his hair looked long spiky and white, and sitting next to him was a masked man wearing body armor and casual clothing that made him stand out, but along the mask man's chest and arms there were several black wires that went to both his wrist. The man in the trench coat scanned the area as he noticed the three that entered and stared at them, well mostly Eiko really, when he noticed that she saw him he reclined in his seat and went back to scanning the room.

Another table had a sunglasses wearing woman wearing a fur coat, she had her feet kicked up onto the table and tried her best to be as comfortable as she could be, she was wearing what looked like a leather jumpsuit with high heeled boots, next to her was a blonde young woman wearing a purple hoodie, the blonde woman had a crazy look about her, she was really thin and staring around the room like she wanted to kill everyone in the room, Eiko felt like she would need to keep her eye on the girl or she could get jumped by her even though she seemed almost Eiko's size but a bit taller.

The last table was next to the far wall and at it sat a solo person, it was a messy haired blonde guy that wore a tan suit, he looked as if he didn't sleep in days with bags under his eyes, like the blonde girl Eiko felt something off about the guy, like he was really dangerous out of most of the other people, everyone else had a person they brought with them, but he was alone. Soon he rose from his seat and began walking over to them, Eiko felt a little startled and tensed up a bit getting ready in case he did anything, when he made his way over to the three, a foul stench followed him, he extended a shaky hand to Jun and began some kind of sales speech.

" Miss Minama, I presume ?" The guy asked as Maya straightened Jun up, the foul odor made the other people in the room hold their nose, and gag, Eiko made a frown before Jun spoke to the guy as if nothing was wrong with him." Actually it's Minami, really so if you don't mind me asking what's up, yo." Jun said trying to sound cool, she put a smile on her face and shook the man's hand without hesitation. The guy ended up straightening his blue tie." O-okay, I just wanted to ask if you'd like to join my company really, that's all simply, nothing less nothing more, well besides my company is just starting out really."

When the guy asked if Jun would join his company Jun's smile dropped to a frown and she glared at the man." What kind of man just walks up and ask someone to join their company ? Huh ?" Jun put her hands onto her hips and stared daggers at the man before he could even speak Jun continued to berate him." Your attempt to have me join your little company is as good as a molester walking up in broad daylight in a park and groping me ! I wasn't born and forced into my position by my parents to just squander it like 200 dollars and a night on the town, go sit your stinky tire looking ass back where you were...What ever your name is."

The guy had a look on his face like he was awestruck that he'd be turned down, and even looked more stupid knowing he stunk, he walked past her and Eiko leaving a stink trail behind him freeing up a table in the room. once he left, Jun saw the stage and podium, she walked over to the stage as Maya walked close to her, Eiko stuck with Jun as well but felt a little hesitant to jump on stage with her. The moment Jun took the stage another person arrived, a man in a wheelchair being pushed by what Eiko could only believe was a Ninja.

The Ninja was thin in build and wore bright white chest piece with matching colored metal mask on their face along with a set of cat ears on the top of the mask, under the metal mask looked like another mask that covered their head, the two went to the empty table the stinky guy was at earlier. Suddenly Jun tapped the mike on the podium, and checked the sound but when nothing came out of the nearby speakers, she tossed the mic onto the floor." I know why all of you are here, and you know why I'm here." Jun spoke like she was an angry mother, or just an angry woman." All of you are worried that all of you would lose money because of my company wanting to make weapons, I'm just here to tell you all that you don't have to worry about losing money."

All of the people in room stared at Jun, besides Eiko and Maya, Jun could feel that some of them were sighing mentally." You don't have to worry because you'll soon be with us, you'll slowly but surely be assimilated with us, and you won't have to worry about it much longer." Jun began sounding like she was a cult leader to Eiko's ears suddenly." My company will take you in, no matter how much you try to fight it and scream to the heaven's for it to not happen. But if your not dead set on being against us, then be prepared to die, I won't show mercy towards everyone else against us, it's either get down, or lay down." Jun told everyone with an evil look on her face.

Jun had a small purple lipped grin on her face as she spoke, she began walking away from the podium and raised a hand to ever one as Maya and Eiko followed followed behind Jun." That's all really people, right now it's sink or swim." She told them as she got to the doors, she stopped and poked her head back in to add to what she said." Or in this case, assimilate or die." She added casually before they began leaving. Before they got on the elevator Maya spoke up about the situation, Eiko could see through Maya's mask that the fem giant felt a little un-easy about what just went down.

"So, I just need to ask boss, what the hell was that in there ? We were suppose to stay for an hour." Maya asked.

Eiko pulled her P90 out of her coat answering Jun before the purple eyed woman could even say anything." Sounds like she was declaring war on the other companies really, and asserting dominance towards the others." Eiko explained the best she could.

Jun cracked a smile before she spoke." Well at least one of my bodyguards get where I'm going with this." Jun soon grew a dark aura around almost as if she was bipolar, and her smile was gone." That little encounter with that stinky little piece of trash that assaulted my nose with his stink, had the nerve to fucking try to recruit me like some piece of trash common on the street, if I had my blades I'd." When the elevators open Jun stopped speaking and grew her smile again when the elevator began playing classical music, the trio got onto the elevator and began going back to the ground.

"Ah I love this song, it calms me a little, but that little encounter, was horrible, he thought I was some random desperate worker that needed a job, bet his company doesn't even have a cool name or any benefits or anything." Jun continued talking about the guy that tried to just commonly ask her to join his company."My mother would choke slam me through concrete, the cheese grate my remains, or worse I'd end up like my father, removed from existence completely, just here today gone tomorrow." Jun continued speaking.

While Jun talked to the two of them on the drive all the way back to the airport, and on the long plane ride back to Japan, Eiko just thought of the incoming storm that would be coming their way, she wasn't going to back out from the incoming challenge that they were gonna have in the future, in face she was actually excited for what may come, but only time was gonna tell.
