Special Unit Last Hope

By Kentai Hentai (Luisa)

"Jonahs crisis alert!"

"Huh what?" His pen fell from where it had been hanging on his lips as he came out of his daydream.

"Crisis in Sector 209, the Mars American colony."

"Well what are you waiting for gather the team!" She got up so quick she fell over her own two feet her cowboy hat going onto his lap.

"I'm okay." She wiped off her jeans and tugged down on her baby tee. She grabbed the cowboy hat and took off down the hall the heels of her cowboy boots clicking against the steel floor.

"There is something very wrong with that woman or maybe she's just a hopeless klutz." The red head came back into the room panting and looking as if she'd seen a ghost.

"They're gone."

"What?"

"Every last one of them is gone. We've got to handle this ourselves." Jonahs nodded his head hitting the red button under his desk. The wall slid back behind him revealing highly advanced weaponry.

"Pick your weapon, Samanta." She picked up a gun that attached to her arm leaving her always prepared to fire.

"Are you sure we'll be able to handle it it's a fire wielder?"

"No prob I'll just use the Tsunami mecha. All aboard!" He stepped onto a flying disc grabbing her then jumped into the cockpit of the mecha still holding her.

After the battle was over they both remained unmoving too afraid that they'd aggravate the many bruises and minor burns. Samanta was lying over Jonahs still in the same position as when they had fell out of the Tsunami mecha just before it exploded.

"I'm too old for this."

"I concur." He passed out from blood loss as the sirens of the ambulance reached Samanta's ears.

Episode 01: A New Hope Arises- Generations of Fighting

"Where the hell is he now?" The young girl put the manga closer to her face hoping he'd just go away. No such luck as he smacked the manga out of her hands forcing her to face him.

"Hi Master," she laughed nervously knowing how short his temper was especially when it came to his missing star pupil.

"Where's Jiro?" His scream sent her after midnight blue locks flying back.

"I don't know." She got up quickly running out of there crying like a little baby. He looked around for his other students seeing a dust ball roll by and punched one of the rice paper walls getting the prankster in the gut. The boy dropped to the floor holding his stomach and glared up at his martial arts teacher.

"The waterfall."

"Thank you Kazuo."

"No problem." He got up shakily holding his stomach as he left the room and taking deep breaths.

~o~

He climbed up the side of the cliff smiling as he viewed his reward of the gorgeous scenery. His silver hair was picked up by the wind as he stood silent. This precious time he had to himself he would not waste on simply standing around. He pulled off his shirt at the same time slipping his feet out of his sandals. He dove off the cliff feeling the waterfall spray him as he went down. He caught sight of his trainer glaring at him and belly flopped.

"Jiro!" He smiled as her resurfaced once on dry land shaking himself off like a wet dog.

"What's up Master?" He laughed seeing his trainer was soaked from head to toe.

"What's up? You have a battle in less than 5 minutes that's what's up!"

"Oh that's today?"

"Yes that's today!" He smacked him on the back of the back of the head causing him to fall back in the water.

~o~

The pale blue arm of the mecha was around his neck keeping him on his knees. The silver wings were caught between the mecha leaving him trapped.

"Give up Ginryu?"

"Not a chance." He pulled his arm back placing his hand on the deep blue leg of the other mecha.

"There's nothing you can do!"

"Ice Blade!" The blade extended out from his hand piercing through the guy's leg and out his rear. The arm around his neck went away as the other guy fell back. He put the blade of shimmering ice to the falling mecha's neck the sun gleaming off of the silver of his arm.

"Give up?" The other guy let his head fall in defeat and the crowd roared. He stood on the hand of the mecha waving at the crowd with a bright smile on his face. Someone in the crowd was calling him over and since it was a beautiful woman he'd make time for her. He jumped over the barricades that kept the crowd away from the battle ring his trainer cursing the whole time from the scaffold he stood upon. The red head ran off and he took chase liking the idea of earning what he wanted. He looked around not seeing the woman only the empty area were fighters usually gathered after competition but by now most had left.

"Jiro Daichi nice to meet you I'm Jonahs Jordan." Jiro turned around to find the source of the voice, a caramel skinned man in a business suit with his hand out to him. Jiro shook his hand still looking around for the red head spotting her coming towards them with sodas.

"Just call me Ginryu," he looked at the red head as he spoke still smiling at her.

"Oh this is my assistant Samanta Fox." She put her hand out for Jiro to shake but instead he brought it up to his lips kissing it tenderly. Samanta smiled nervously as she pulled her hand back looking over at Jonahs seeing he still had his usual idiot smile. Jonahs was talking again while Samanta was nodding her head as if agreeing with everything he said but Ginryu heard not one word as he was still only staring at Samanta and thinking rather perverse things.

"So what do you say?"

"Huh? Where you saying something?" Jonahs looked at Ginryu then Samanta who hid behind him.

"I asked if you wanted to join the UPF."

"Which would be?"

"Universal Protection Force."

"Don't you have like ten freakishly powerful."

"They all went missing we want you to help find them."

"Help?"

"You'll have a partner."

"Partner?"

"You'll meet her later."

"Her? I'm intrigued." Ginryu turned as he heard someone approaching ducking as his trainer's hand came flying at him. Jonahs stepped between Ginryu and his trainer.

"Hello sir I'm Jonahs Jordan and this is my assistant Samanta Fox. We are currently recruiting agents for the Universal Protection Force and are interested in Jiro here."

"This idiot? The universe needs protection from him." Ginryu nervously patted his trainer's back seeming to put a little bit too much force in it as the man kept stumbling forward.

"He's just kidding. Aren't you just the biggest kidder, Master?" He smiled at Samanta who was wishing the little boy would stop hitting her and the real man would begin to, she looked over at Jonahs smiling.

"He was excellent out there we could use a man of his skill," Jonahs leaned in to whisper in the trainer's ear, "plus we have a partner for him that'll keep him in check. Real control freak." Jonahs winked as he straightened himself causing the trainer to smile.

"What did you tell him?"

"Nothing."

"He'll still be able to compete right?"

"Yes he'll just have to be able to drop things at a moments notice but with my influence his mecha competing won't suffer. I can make it so any match he may miss can be rescheduled to fit the schedule of UPF. He'll be in constant contact with us as will the girl he'll be teamed up with."

"That's great. When can I meet this girl?" Samanta and Jonahs seemed to falter a bit in their little campaign.

"Well she isn't exactly your partner yet."

"What do you mean?"

"Well she hasn't really agreed yet," Samanta smiled a bit too innocently, "and there's also the matter of breaking her out a top security correctional facility."

"What she's a convict?!"

"No she's more like a prisoner." Jonahs looked a little sad just speaking about her and seemed not to want to say more.

"She's been kept prisoner in a supposed correctional facility for mutants but we're well aware of what actually goes on there. She's known as Project Hazard, the resultant of highly dangerous mutant experimentation. She's never been out of the facility and its rumored she's kept caged for she's very dangerous. She's kept blindfolded because she can take the form of anyone she sees so she's not allowed to look at many people and no one is allowed to get too close to her. Jonahs and I are going to get her out and hopefully get her to agree to help us."

"So you haven't even gotten her out yet and you're recruiting me to work with her? You guys are just amazing. Screw this I don't need anymore responsibility." He left not even giving anyone a chance to argue with him.

"Samanta I told you not to tell him any of that." She lowered her head in shame the trainer putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry yourself Miss I'm the one left responsible for him and if I tell him to jump he ask off what bridge. He'll be on your team don't you doubt it for a second." He walked away with a sinister smile on his face knowing he was about to make someone miserable.

"That guy's creepy." Jonahs nodded his head agreeing with her on that one.

"But hopefully he's not bluffing we need that kid, he and Hazard are the only ones that match up to our old force."

"But I wonder where they went. I mean they couldn't have just up and left us high and dry."

"I don't know I wonder about them sometimes, they seem to be a bit sad."

"Yeah."

~o~

"I don't have to do anything!" Ginryu tried to leave the room but his trainer kicked his legs out from under him making him fall face first onto the hard floor. He turned looking beyond pissed off and licked the blood from his split lip getting up in a fighting stance.

"You do what I say and I say you're joining the UPF." He charged at Ginryu looking like he was going to punch him in the front but Ginryu moved to avoid it the trainer giving him a hard chop in the side. Ginryu stumbled a bit but kept on his feet one hand on his newly injured ribs.

"And I say I'm not joining that moron organization." He tried to attack his trainer but was laid out the trainer's foot on his chest.

"Before I came by you were all for it now all of a sudden you don't want to do it. What the hell is wrong with you boy?" Ginryu swung his legs so the trainer had to jump up to avoid being taken down and Ginryu stood up backing up from his trainer.

"Its all a joke. They want me to do it on my own they're never going to free that girl."

"You don't know that."

"Oh come on a thirty something washed up ex-military man and a ditzy red head are going to get a mutant out of a high security correctional facility!"

"You make it sound impossible."

"It is." Ginryu tried attacking again this time being left belly down with his trainer on his back pulling his arm back.

" 'There's a possibility for everything and anything as long as one believes there is. We can achieve the greatest feat with one shred of hope.' It was your father who often said this are you now calling that great man, my younger brother, a liar? If you are I'm going to have to pull out that insolent tongue of yours."

"I'm sorry Uncle Yoshi, it's just hard to believe in something's when so many things go wrong for you."

"You're not your father's son if you can't believe in anything."

"I believe in something."

"And what is that?"

"I believe that if you don't get off me in a second I'm going to forget all about respect your elders and lay some serious disrespect on you." Yoshi laughed letting Ginryu get up and inspecting his nephew smiling as he saw his younger brother in him.

"Your mother's stubbornness, your father's looks what a strange combination. It's almost frightening."

"And you call me crazy Uncle." Ginryu sat back finishing getting dressed which is what he had been doing when his uncle barged into the room. He slipped on his shirt not bothering to fix his hair afterwards.

"You'll join?"

"If it'll get you off my back yeah."

"Nothing will ever get me off your back."

"That's what I feared." He picked up his duffel bag going out the door with his uncle, they split up in the hallway going opposite directions. Ginryu was about to leave when he heard someone calling out his name, he turned to see his uncle running towards him with a large object wrapped up in a sheet in his arms.

"This is yours boy I was supposed to give it to you on your 18th birthday but you weren't ready for it then. You'll understand now why I made you go through vigorous sword training." Ginryu took the object almost falling over from how heavy it was. He was about to ask his uncle about it but the man was already gone.

"I hate how he does that disappearing shit, never know where he's going to be." He unwrapped the item and gasped in shock still feeling this was a sacred item. He remembered his mother moving as graceful as a cat with this sword almost twice her size the emblem of a jade dragon on the top of the blade. Another one of her items from the China colony, she had learned sword fighting there as a young girl and this was the blade given to her by her Master. It was always such a spectacle when his mother was practicing with the sword, no one could believe such a petite woman could actually hold a broad sword much less have mastered one. He had always wanted to use the sword but it was off limits to everyone as his mother had said the sword fed off the wielder's spirit and if someone else were to touch it the power she had instilled in it would be gone. Ginryu had always laughed at this but now he felt the strength that came just from holding such an extraordinary weapon. He strapped the sword onto his back adjusted his duffel bag in front of him and revved up the bike.

~o~

The sword was heavier than any he was use to but he continued to practice with it sweat dripping down his skin. His shorts stuck to his thighs from how much he was sweating. Ginryu had been practicing with the sword since he got home which was close to six hours ago, it was deep into the night by now but still he was in the backyard unfortunate targets set up all around him. He swiped with the blade arched slightly to the side his body angled a bit awkwardly as he tried to balance his own weight and that of the sword's. He waited panting as he stood completely still, sword stretched out in front of him. The stone statue began to slide apart and Ginryu turned to look at it.

"One cut but I swiped ten times." He stopped as the statue began to crack in many different parts crumbling to the floor.

"That's a neat trick striking so fast it leaves the object in shock delaying the eventual fall apart. Very nice."

"How the hell did you get here?"

"You're uncle told us where you lived. So what do you say about joining our team?" Ginryu brushed away the debris that remained on the statue's pedestal taking a seat on it.

"I'm willing to join if you can actually get that mutant girl out of 'prison'. If not you can look elsewhere for cronies."

"Perfect we're getting her out tonight. Don't you worry about it. We'll come pick you up early tomorrow morning to take you to UPF Headquarters so you can meet her. Let's go Samanta." Ginryu stood up putting his sword in front of them to stop them from leaving.

"What makes you guys so sure you can get her out?"

"All we have to do is unlock the cage and she'll get herself out. I can figure out the code to open the cage and Jonahs can easily get us in for me to do so. She'll do all the fighting getting us out of there."

"And what makes you think she'll actually get you out?"

"Hazard has spent her entire life in a facility where they torture her and constantly beat her what makes you think she won't want to leave?"

"I didn't say she won't want to leave. I'm thinking she might kill the two of you and leave on her own possibly kill everyone else the facility while she's at it."

"No she won't do that. She owes my family too much and she made a promise, she'll keep it." Jonahs pushed down the sword walking away while Samanta sighed knowing it was going to be a long night.

"What does he mean she owes his family?"

"His mother was the one who use to take care of Hazard up to the point Hazard turned twelve. That was when she started to um. mature if you know what I mean."

"I think I do but what the hell does that have to do with his mother?" Samanta sat on the pedestal Ginryu had previously occupied.

"Her body began to change, all the powers trapped inside of her making themselves known now that her hormones were all out of whack. Ms. Jordan, Jonahs has no father his mother was a single parent, was sent in to make sure Hazard didn't hurt herself or anyone else. Hazard only listened to her seeing as this was the only woman who had treated her as if she were a person and much like she was her daughter. It was that Ms. Jordan saw Hazard as the daughter she never had even bringing Jonahs to work with her sometimes saying Hazard was his surrogate sister. His younger sister had been still born."

"So he would've had a sister?"

"Yes she would be the same age as Hazard, it was why Ms. Jordan was chosen to care for Hazard. Her baby had died only months prior to Hazard's birth leaving her with the need to mother a child so when Hazard's mother passed Ms. Jordan was assigned to care for her. Anyways on that day of Hazard's twelfth birthday Ms. Jordan was sitting with her trying to calm her down because she was going into violent episodes. Hazard's powers were overwhelming her causing her body to transform rapidly leaving her screaming in pain. It stopped leaving Hazard lying motionless for a long period of time and Ms. Jordan terrified. Hazard had not moved in hours and it seemed she might not have been breathing. Ms. Jordan was trying to revive her trying to get her to move. She picked her up setting her on her lap trying to get her to respond but nothing. Hazard was still breathing but she looked like she was in serious pain though she made no sound to justify it. Her joints had all gone stiff not use to the transformations happening so rapidly. She began to change again while trying to raise her hand to touch Ms. Jordan's cheek. She never did like seeing that woman cry and at that time she was crying, Hazard wanted to wipe away her tears. The transformation that occurred at that moment was terrible her body becoming so large there was barely any breathing room left for either of them. Ms. Jordan was crushed, Hazard had become a fiery dragon. The room exploded leading everyone to believe Hazard was dead but she walked out of the flames only minutes later and collapsed. Ms. Jordan's bracelet was in her hand, Jonahs had bought it for her." Ginryu looked up at her from where he sat cross legged on the grass.

"That's why he gets so quiet when he talks about Hazard? Does he blame her for his mother's death?"

"No he blames the people that made Hazard the way she is. No ones really sure what she would be like had her mother never been caught by the."

"Samanta let's go." Jonahs had shown up without the other two noticing him till he spoke. Samanta bowed to Ginryu and left with Jonahs who looked back at Ginryu a bit of a suspicious glow in his eyes. Ginryu gave him a curious look causing Jonahs to smile and turn his gaze towards the direction he was walking.

"Be up early! Rise with the sun!"
