2215 03 21 Skies over Tokyo
It took a bit, but Zemin had pulled it off thanks to a favor owed by Major Qing. "You know Zemin when you sent me that message I was so relieved that you finally called in that favor I thought you'd hang that over my head forever." Major Qing hated Zemin he was manipulative and a done right bastard, but after she became indebted to him she couldn't do a thing about it even when his actions caused the death of her younger sister. Now she was finally happy with this debt payed she could now put in the paperwork for his quart marshal and it pleased her to no end "Anyway you never told me who were going after anyway?" "We have no idea, but I'm sure your frigate can handle him." "Well if it's just one guy I'm sure we will." Qing had been questioning Zemin's sanity as he said the guy flew to 300 meters by anti-grav considering to her knowledge and unknown to the Capt there was only three people who could fly higher then 100 meters with one of them being in prison, one being the Bloody Empress, and the last presumed dead before the Fall of Tokyo. So unless the prisoner broke out, the General turned traitor or the Ghost actually became a ghost she didn't know if his sanity was sound. As she thought this one of the crew picked up something "Mama something just hit 200 meters." "Is it a drone?" "No Mama it's something smaller and it's....the hell!" "What is it?" "Mama if the report is correct it's a man flying at 125 MPH." Her eyes widened "How can someone move that fast?" "I don't know, but he's just reaching 300 no wait he just past 300!" "I thought you said his max was 300?" "Does that matter?" "Not really all guns open fire!" She watched the video screen and saw the impossible the guy was dodging all of their rounds and flying higher "Corporal what's going on!" "I don't know the guy is passing 450 meters." They then saw something shoot past the front of the frigate. "Major we need to see what that was anti-grav's grab breathing gear and head outside." She didn't see a reason to fear him as they saw him on a their screens hovering above them. "Mama that guy is hovering at 800 meters." "It doesn't matter our generator is protect even from an attack from that high and he's to far away to make any dents in it." Though her confidence changed as soon as the situation took a turn for the worst. "Mama I'm picking up magnate signals from him the kind you find in a Gauss Rifle." "Wait are you telling me he's carrying a portable Gauss Rifle! Quick get a zoom in on him!" "Yes mama." She watched as he shot his rifle the frigate rocked "What did he hit." "My god he ruptured the coolant tank!" "I want a scan of his gear." "Already on it we have a hit." The second the information hit the screen Qing eyes widened and she lost all composure "No this can't be happening! This can't be real! No no no no no not like this it can't end like this!" "Mama what is it." "We just kicked a hornets nest by making him an enemy." Her last thought as the generator blew was this 'Zemin YOU ASSHOLE THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!'
Zemin had gotten off just in time as he looked back to see it go off he luckily escaped with seven other anti-grav soldiers and his two officers "2nd Lt. as soon as we hit 100 meters I want you to scan that guys bar code he seems to be wearing our uniform." "Yes sir." "Alright the rest of you stay in formation with any luck will make it considering the farther we fall the lower he has to get to..." as Zemin attempted to finish his sentence one of the soldiers got hit and as he looked up the guy hadn't even moved he stayed at 800 meters and was just taking targeted shoots at them. "I thought you said he was out of.." one by one they were being hit as they hit 100 meters they started to hover out of the seven that followed them 2 had survived the decent. As Zemin looked back to see were the bastard was he was shocked to see him hovering at 250 meters far enough for his magnified goggles to see him and he was angered by him 'This guy is making a fool out of me.' "2nd Lt. How's that scan going?" "I can't get anything his holo patch most not be working." 'What has this guy seen to have that happen.' Zemin saw the guy look at the scan drone and began to talk through their comms "Sorry I guess my holo patch is acting up again." The guy began to hit his left arm then it began to work "There that should do it." "Alright I'm currently scanning the database for... Capt what's wrong?" There hovered Zemin with fear in his eyes. "That patch on his shoulder says that he is a Brigadier-General." "Are you serious?" Zemin continued to hover there shocked until his shock was turned into terror by his 2nd Lt. "Sir his full name and rank is Brigadier-General Iwatani Ichigo!" "No way then that makes him..." "The Ghost of Okinowa!"
2205 10 13 The Island of Okinowa off the southern coast of the Honzodie Empire home island
Private Ichigo had been at this since May and yet he was still here. Still here picking off anyone foolish enough to poke their heads out. He grew tired of it all he wanted to do was go home from this hell and back to his bunk he was 15 why the hell did he have to be in this attack to began with? At first he had felt pride fighting for his country especially after all the pain it took to get there no all the surgeries to replace his limbs and eye. And now he had grown tired of all the killing what had it done in five months nearly every soldier had fallen and the Empire was still holding Okinowa. "This has turned into a waste of resources hopefully they call a retreat to get everyone else, but they'll probably have me cover it. And that means killing more people *sigh* it can't be helped though this is a war after all." He was about was about to call in for rest when the best news he could received came over the comms "Rejoice soldier's of the P.C.R the empire is pulling out of Okinowa they are in retreating!" Ichigo grinned "Finally I can go home." As Ichigo started began his decent another message came over his comms "Private Iwatani." "Yes sir?" "I need you take out as many of the retreating force as you can." "But they're retreating what's the point in killing men tired of all of this?" "Just do as your order Private." He sighed "Yes sir."

Zemin hovered there frozen with fear 'Why oh why god damn it why did are target have to be the fucking Ghost of Okinowa why couldn't have been someone else!' Zemin had never been a religious man hell he had never done a good deed in his damn life, but this once for this fraction of a second he prayed that if there was a god that The Ghost was in a good mood today. But those prayers wouldn't be answered as one of his 2nd Lt. Would take a round straight through his head. As soon as that happened another one hit the soldier infront of Zemin her lifeless body falling he desperately got on to the comms to talk "General Iwatani please we are going to surrender please we only ask for you to spare us." Through his goggles he could see his face twist into anger "So now you beg, now you plead, now you understand the danger your in and all it took was scanning my bar for you to plead for your survival!" His expression hide no anger he was furious and it showed, but something was off to Zemin as he looked at the general he noticed something 'Wasn't his eye patch over his right eye?' Another shoot rang out from Iwatani's rifle and another soldier fell "This is suicide I have to get out of...." as the other 2nd Lt. turned to run he was shoot through the back of head and out through his left eye. For Zemin it was horrible, he hadn't ever seen anyone killed like that in front of him he had never seen a lifeless corpse drop. Hell he hadn't ever seen someone die that close to him 'This is a nightmare this is a fucking nightmare! Why why why is he doing this!' Iwatani hovered there for a bit he didn't speak he just took aim and shoot. Zemin felt time slow down as the bullet flew at him. All he could think was one thought 'Damn you god damn you to hell for allowing this Ghost to exist!' Then everything went dark.
2215 03 22 MP headquarters Japan
Col. Zhou had been enjoying his breakfast when he was given the information about the incident from the other day. No one had survived in what is now being called the Frigate Disaster, his superiors were not happy about it happening under his watch without him knowing it happened. He had a lot riding if he failed it wasn't out of the realm of possibility's for them to send the Bloody Empress to insure security in the territory and that scared him more then what he was about to find out "So what caused it?" "We are still working on figuring it out from what we gather something flew to 800 meters and attacked them." "That's impossible the highest meter one of our frigates has reach is 500 meters and at best are drone fighters can't reach higher then 250 meters." "It was confusing us to however a 3D image was recovered from the body of Captain Zemin." They activated the image with the col. giving a sigh to it "Well now there's no option they'll definitely be sending her here." He stood up and began to leave "Have my personal vehicle ready I need to head to Beijing." "What for sir?" "I need to inform General Tae and Major General Lingxin that our Ghost lives!"
