2215 03 21 skies above Tokyo.
Zemin hovered there dumbfounded one minute 1st Lt. Mu had been hovering right next to him the next he had his grey matter raining from the sky along with his body 'How were 100 meters out of range how can he hit us?' He couldn't believe it a rifle that could hit them out of its capable range was hard to explain. They then heard the stranger speak again "I don't want to do that again so stand down!" Zemin hovered for bit then his Sgt answered their aggressor "Stand down? After what you did you'll be lucky to make it out with your li...." the Sgt couldn't even finish his sentence before another shoot rang out and his head jerked back and the back of his head exploding out. Zemin just hovered there 'How how is this possible!'
He did it after five years Ichigo pulled the trigger of his Mk 5 prototype Long range rifle. He hated every second of it 'Damn idiots!' He activated his comms "Please stand down this is your last warning!" He hover there hoping they'd finally take a hint and to his relief they did. He watched as they ran off he let out a sigh of relief as he descended to the ground. Fortunately they hadn't come down and looked for miss Xing Wu as she came running towards him. "Are you ok Iwatani?" He didn't answer he just moved his eye patch back over his right eye. He slammed his metal fist into a pillar "Damn it damn it damn it! Why wouldn't those idiots leave before I had to pull the damn fucking trigger!" He kept slamming his fist into the pillar until he dented it. He sighed before turning to May "Come on we need to head to ground level and head to where we need to go that way. And the name is Ichigo so please stop calling me Iwatani that brings back to many bad memories." "Ok Ichigo then just call me May so it's easier on both of us." "Whatever." "So where are we heading to?" "An old friend someone who isn't a fan of the P.C.R!"
Same day P.C.R MP Headquarters
Zemin sat there furious of what had happened to him and his team he had lost two veteran officer's. He knew that word would get out soon and when it did Col. Zhou would have his head or worst they would seen in the Bloody Empress to deal with him! He had to figure out way to capture that guy some how that's when it him 'If that guy could hover at 300 meters then I need something that flies higher then him a class 5 anti-grav frigate and with its height of 500 meters and anti air weapons on the bottom it's the perfect weapon to take him out.' "2nd Lt." "Yes sir?" "I need you to call Major Qing Gong and tell her that Captain Zemin is calling in his favor."
Afternoon in Uptown "Ground Level" Tokyo
May and Ichigo had been walking for a couple of hours, and she was starting to wonder what kind of person he was taken to could be. Though her questions were soon answered when stopped at a store front the sign was written in Kanji so May couldn't read it. Ichigo knocked on the door someone began yelling something from inside. As the person open the door with gun in his hand. He was young like them with long black hair and had the starting of a beard. His clothes were simple he wore a plain white t-shirt and jeans and on his feet he wore socks inside slippers. He lowered his gun as soon he saw the two of them. May couldn't understand them as they greeted each other all she could make out was the guys name was Ryuji. May stood there confused as Ryuji turned to her he began to speak to her with her looking at him confused Ryuji's eyes widened "Oh god I'm sorry I'm more accustomed to Japanese so I some times speak it without realizing it." After he switched languages May saw him get hit in the head with something "Ow mother!" The woman seem unopposing she was just as tall as Ryuji and wore her grey with hints of black hair in a bun. She wore glasses and genuine had this presence to her that made May think that saying the wrong thing around her might be a bad idea her clothes were normal a long skirt with t-shirt so almost like her son but over them she wore an apron. "How many times have I told you Ryuji you can't just speak Japanese if we need to keep a low profile." "Ya but you don't have to hit me." "How are you doing Ichigo?" "I'm doing well Chihaya." "Why don't you two come inside. If Ichigo is here somethings gone wrong." The two of them enter the building and to May was surprise it was cleaner then she expected as she seat down Chihaya was sitting across from her while Ichigo was in the other room with Ryuji. Chihaya was smiling at her "So how do you know our little Ichigo?" "Oh my father told me to find him so he could protect me." "Ah so he's your guardian I see." "Can I ask you a question?" "Sure what's on your mind?" "What do you do here?" She smiled "Oh me and my son are doctors been that way since the war." "Really?" She nodded "Are little clinic here served as a neutral spot for soldiers to get patched up secretly of course I saw both P.C.R and Imperial soldiers come through those doors just to get healed." "Wait how did you stop them from fighting?" "Oh I'd tell them I might accidentally use to little of morphine while operating." "That doesn't sound to bad?" "Say that when you need to have a bullet pulled out while you can feel it." all May did was gulp. "So enough about my sadistic side. Tell me what do you think about him?" "Excuse me?" "You know do you like him I mean that boy could make a cougar out of one those nuns out in the west." May expression went to surprise "What are you talking about?" Ichigo had entered the room "Chihaya don't tell me your pulling a joke on May?" "Oh come on Ichigo I like to have fun you know this." May turned to look at him and what she saw surprised her there he was putting on his shirt and she could see the extent of his arm it was metal from the shoulder down and from what she could see he had scaring all across his body. "Do you see what I mean?" May began to blush as soon as Chihaya started to asked her that. "Chihaya!" "I'm just joking you take things to serious Ichigo." Ichigo had changed into a uniform it was dark gray with a camo pattern and he had a holo patch, but it wasn't active "Hey what was your rank?" "Why do I need to tell you that?" "Well it just your holo patch doesn't seem to be working." "No it really hasn't been working well since Okinowa." May's eyes widened "Wait you fought in the Okinowa Offensive, but that was ten years ago. How old are you?" "I'm 25." "Then that would have made you 15!" "Ya and your point?" Before she could respond they heard something outside. After they got outside they could see a frigate in the sky and then something went over the cities P.A. systems "Citizens of Tokyo there is a fugitive hiding amongst you turn her in at once." Holo screens started to project May's image all around the city. She turned to see Ichigo starring up at the frigate "Hey Chihaya do you still have my rebreath gear?" "Ya hold on?" "What are you going to do about it." "Isn't it obvious I'm going to destroy it." "How?" Chihaya came back with a pack "Here you go." "Thanks that frigates max height is 500 meters while mines 300." "300 meters mean you'll still be 200 meters below it." "No my Max height is 300 above it's max height." "Wait are you telling me your max height is...." he just looked at her then took off. All she had on her mind was one thought 'Who is this guy?'
