I.C.E.D. Part 2

It's been over a week since the bombing mission on the factory and sunflower get off my ass *sigh*. You were to reckless this, you rushed into it that, I'm starting to think she doesn't trust me. Anyway, she "insisted" I don't lead missions anymore. So that's why I'm sitting here in the command center board out of my mind playing cards with ARC. (ARC) "What's wrong kid, still butt hurt over losing rank haha". (Aikido) " Keep asking me that and I won't just crush your cards", " (ARC) ha-ha OK big man, let's see what kind of hand you got". I didn't really care about the card game, ARC always won anyway and we only played for bragging rights considering we were both broke. I really started thinking about the new old days. A time when we would all just hang out, drink, laugh, and razz eachother. Now we're all soldiers in some got forsaken war. (ARC) " Ha-ha full house, I win again hahaha!" (Aikido) "Whatever ARC" I just left not even bothering to look back at him. *aikido goes to the roof of the garage, looking over the now dark and corrupt city of Tokyo* It wasn't always like this you know. I used to be writer, ARC was a model which I still find disturbing, sunflower like her namesake owned a flower shop, king was a firefighter, and Kuro and sakura worked at a cafe. We were all different yet we were friends. We used to meet this bar called My Otaku. It was like some manga themed club, it was fun. Every night we'd raise some hell in there ha-ha. *aikido lies down looking at the sky* Then she showed up. Maria Taki Haise, better known as the Ice Queen. We had all heard the stories of some advanced human running around Tokyo with strange powers. We never thought it was real, some kind of story to scare people. Well, we were all scared when the attack happened. One minute were drinking then the buildings start exploding, people are frozed alive in the streets, those iced men cutting down anything in thier path, and leading them all was the bad girl herself. I didn't know much about her before her "transformation" other than she had a real twisted sense of humor and a serious temper. But none of that mattered, the city was being attacked and people were being killed. We were barely able to get out of the city before her reinforcements arrived. Airships, vehicles, guns, soldiers you name it she had it. That's how this all started. Little did we know that before she retired from flowers, sunflower was a Chief Master Sergeant in the air force and knew how to fight. She trained us all how to fight, how to survive. We set up shop in this run down strap hole and have been doing runs ever since. I don't know whether it will make a difference, whether or not will win, but if we don't fight who will right. (?) "Can see your out moping again" *aikido turns around to see sakura* (Aikido) "Give me a break sakura, I just wanted some quit time" *sakura punches him in the shoulder, and sits down next to him* (Sakura) "You dumpy you get too much quit time". (Aikido) Yeah well, when I'm benched I can't do much now can I. (Sakura) Sunflower just has a lot of pressure that's all, I'm sure she'll cool off eventually. (Aikido) I get that, but she doesnt have to do this by herself. Plus why yell at me, the mission was a success?! *sakura punches him in the mouth* (Sakura) Shut up dumpy your moping again. (Aikido) Will please stop hitting me, it hurts *aikido rubs his face* (Sakura) Its fun for me *smiles* *a call comes in on sakura's walky* (Sakura) Sakura go ahead (Sunflower) We have a problem, king, Luxus, and Pika aren't back yet from thier mission and they left hours ago! (Sakura) I'm on it, I'll take aikido with me, we" ll find him. (Sunflower) Don't yo-- (Sakura) OK bye, *sakura gets up* Let's go! (Aikido) *smirks and follows suit* *both jump on a buggy and head off* *they both search the surrounding area, not finding anything. Suddenly, a call comes in* (Sakura) This is Sakura come in (Lux) Saku-- pinned down ---- (Sakura) Lux! Where are you! (Pika) TRAIN STATION!!! *They both speed off towards the train station in the city* *they arrive, seeing thier friends being attacked by matt-san and his iced men* (Aikido) Oh goody, one of the Queens council decided to join the party. (Sakura) Less talking more saving (Aikido) Yeah I know *aikido throws some smoke pellets at the attacking iced men blinding them* (Aikido) COME ON LETS GO! *lux, pika, and king jump off the tracks but, they noticed king is injured* *aikido rushes over to them* (Aikido) You guys OK (King) I'll live (Lux) Come on man, I gotcha *smoke clears and iced men starts shooting at them* (Lux) Pika, quick time! *pika backflips and throws serveal kunai at the iced men, some are able to block them, others are impaled in the face* *Sakura jumps over pika and punches two guards in the face, taking them down* (Sakura) Yeah, haven't done that in while! *sakura in then tossed into a nearby building* (Sakura) ough! (Aikido) Sakura!! *Matt-san finally recovers and draws his two shadow Swords* (Matt) Now, let's rid the world of some rebels. *Matt goes to kill sakura but is stopped my a kunai hitting his arm* (Matt) Really? *kunai disappears* (Matt) I'll deal with you all soon *lux gets charged and zaps Matt into a car which explodes* (Lux) Try healing from that ass hat. *aikido rushes to sakura and picked her up* (Sakura) Let me down idiot I'm fine! (Aikido) Nah, better safe than sorry *aikido starts running but is stopped by his feet being frozen and he drops sakura* (Sakura) Ahh (Lux) Aikido! *aikdio tries to move but can't* (Matt) I wouldn't try that *aikido is able to look behind him to see Matt-san using freezing abilities* (Matt) One perk on being in the queen council, one get some awesome benefits. (Lux) OK I've heard enough *Lux zaps matt again, but Matt deflects it* (Matt) Not doing that again, now then *matt stabs aikido through the chest* (Aikido) Agh! (Sakura) NO! (Lux) You son of *Lux let's out all he's got at matt, but, matt deflects it again at lux until pika jumps in front of lux and absorbs the energy. *pika then uses a quick attack and hit matt repeatedly* (Matt) god dammit you little *matt slashes in several directions but can't hit her (Sakura) HEY *matt looks to see Sakura in front of him* (Matt) shit *Sakura punches matt square in the face, launching him into a nearby building, which also, makes it collapse* *sakura goes over to lux whose checking aikido's pulse* (Sakura) lux is he? *Lux looks at her with a frown, confirming her fears* (One Hour Later) *the rebels assemble at the base, thinking about what had just happened.* (Sakura) This is my fault (Lux) Its no ones fault, aikido did his job. (Sakura) It wasn't he's job anymore, I shouldn't have made him go. (Sunflower) Everyone calm down. Look I know this is difficult for everyone but we have to move forward. Aikido died but not in vein. We also were able to defeat one of the Queens council, that's a victory. (Sunflower) Aikido helped achieve that victory and he'll be remebered for it, I promise. (Pika) so what now? (Sunflower) Now we take the fight to--- *suddenly a loud yell is heard in the distance and a large explosion is seen* END
