Part 4: Rush Hour

 

Japan's drivers and highways were known throughout the world as the most courteous, contrary to the asphalt warzones that were the roads of other, similar industrialized countries. But this morning, all of it went straight out the window. Drivers launched a barrage of horns and headlight flashes as the pursuers and the victim engaged in a desperate chase of cat and mouse. Tea expertly weaved the Hummer through the morning rush hour traffic, avoiding the other cars that had the misfortune of being caught up in another of the world's secret wars.

The 3 black E-classes hot on her hells instead charged recklessly, claiming collateral damage let and right. Their mission objective was paramount; the death of the Spriggans and Professor Mayzel. Anything hindering that would be destroyed. Reflecting that, the drivers began their procedure of ingesting tabs of Shabu, or Methamphetamines(1) to increase their abilities…

But behind them, a white RX-8 roared forward following the trail of death and destruction. “There are the bastards now.” Yu closed down with the trail E-class but the occupants had already seen him, and slowed down to engage the Spriggans. Shots smashed through the windscreens of both cars as they fought, with Jonathan leaning out from his side window to reply with automatic fire. A running battle developed adding already to the mayhem on the streets. Suddenly, the black suits in the produced a FN Minimi Para(2) and laid waste to the RX-8, shattering the remaining windows and rendering the roof.

Jonathan cursed and took cover as bullets rained over them. The AM suits they were wearing stopped the bullets, but the pain was definitely there.

 

“Goddamnit, Jonathan! Kill them already!!!” Yu screamed.

“Yeah, yeah, I know…”

 

Jonathan sealed up his AM jacket and it activated its artificial muscles. Using his new strength, he pushed back the hole-riddled roof and stood up while Yu just watched… Don't tell me he's… And expectedly, he jumped, and landed standing on the back of the E-class.

 

“Kill him!!!” The black suits panicked, trying to bring up their weapons. Jonathan was faster, and proceeded to massacre them, emptying an entire P90 magazine through the back windshield and into the occupants. The survivors tried to fight back, but again he pulled out his M93R with his other free hand and unloaded a bullet into them, including… the driver.

“Oh shit.”

“Yu just slapped his head. “That idiot…”

 

With the car beginning to spin out of control, Jonathan grabbed the Minimi, and made a leap of faith, landing painfully on the back part of the RX-8's roof just as the E-class careened into a blaze on a road divider. They didn't have any time to lose. The harbor freeway that they were on was ending fast, and as soon as the chase got on the cramped city streets, it was going to get inherently messy.

 

Suddenly, Yu saw something- Tea and the E-classes down on the highway under them. They must have taken a U-turn. Jonathan saw it too…

 

“Shit, Yu… Don't even think about it…”

 

Despite Jonathan's protests as he clung on, Yu stopped, and positioned the car… and rammed high speed into the low wall at the edge of the freeway, bursting through and falling down 3 storeys to the one below… Miraculously, the RX-8 bounced once, and spun around before righting itself.

 

“Still alive?” The adrenaline still buzzed in Yu's head.

Jonathan just moaned. “I don't think I can have kids anymore…”

 

By now, the Shabu that the drivers had ingested had taken effect, and they maniacally hard-pressed Tea, determined to run her off the road. One of the E-classes rammed itself again and again into the Hummer's bumper, but Tea was unfazed. The size and the bulk of the Hummer made it suited for such punishment, but it was the relentlessness of the pursuit that troubled her. She had tried to peer into their minds, looking for any weaknesses but all she found was a nihilist, fanatical determination; a dark mindless abyss. The vibration of a mobile phone call broke her out of her thoughts and she answered it.

 

“What is it? I'm driving.”

 

She gave a slight smile as she listened and snapped her Samsung SGH-D500 phone shut. “Men.” She slowed the Hummer, enough to allow the E-classes to catch up… Yu put on his seatbelt (The first time since the chase began) and took a deep breath.

 

With a mighty roar of the engine, the RX-8 rear-ended the back E-class in a mighty collision. The next thing the driver of the other E-class knew Jonathan was in mid-air in front of him, firing another P90 magazine into the windshield before landing on the roof of the Hummer, completing his jump. Inside, Professor Mayzel looked up at the thump on the roof.

 

“What is that?”

Tea smiled. “Our savior.”

 

The last E-class wrenched its ass clear of Yu and charged forward to intercept, avoiding the wreck of their predecessor. In a desperate move they started firing their weapons towards the Hummer and the standing Jonathan.

 

Jonathan weathered the bullets with impunity… With a swift kick, he caught the Minimi as it flew up, cocked it and let loose at the E-class. The first shot killed the driver and in his death, he turned the car… The Minimi's firing now stitched the sides of the car, ripping it's occupants inside apart before exploding in a final explosion.

 

But on the road near the flaming wreck, one of the black suit survivor slowly crawled to safety. He had a gunshot wound in his shoulder, and his legs were now bloodied stumps, but it didn't matter. He had failed the mission and now he knew the consequences. All of the black suits carried with them a pill of cyanide, a testament to their loyalty. However before he could commit his act of ritual suicide, Yu's omihalcon blade jammed itself into the survivor's arm. Screaming, he dropped the pill as it was crushed uselessly underfoot.

 

“Oh no, you don't. We've got some things to ask you…”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------

“Has he talked yet?”

 

With the capture of a prisoner, the scene now shifted to ARCAM's fortified old building where the interrogation began. Yamamoto, Jonathan and those involved in the morning's battle watched as the survivor lay sedated. Yu and Jonathan would have preferred him to have wasted on that road, but common sense prevailed. A doctor came in and checked his vitals. His life saved by an emergency operation, but if they had it, that would be the last of his troubles. He was ARCAM's only link now.

 

“They've been strengthened physically and mentally…” Tea commented. “It's likely he won't respond to the usual methods.”

 

Tea Flatte was one of ARCAM's top Spriggans and one of their strongest ESP-ers. She was especially known for her devastating mystic spells and powerful psychic abilities. Some said that she was a witch; others even reasoned that her own age was incalculable… Jonathan always shivered when she was around. For that reason she was highly invaluable in for their interrogations. Even if the prisoner possessed superior willpower, Tea could reach into the deepest, darkest recesses and wrench what she wanted. Those who cooperated usually survived. Those who didn't, at the least would turn up insane. Worst, a vegetable.

 

The others there had that in mind as she spoke, and looked away… It was best to just quietly let her do her work.

“In any case,” Yamamoto added with an uncomfortable sweatdrop, “The board of directors has dictated that we undertake this with the utmost importance. We must obtain information from him no matter what…” Yamamoto usually disapproved with such forceful measures, but they were demanding answers. Just last week, two more facilities in Egypt had been destroyed. Unfortunately, they still didn't know who was behind it. Leads to Majestic-12, Trident and other adversaries had also turned up nothing…(3) He took a smoke and a walk, pausing towards a small commotion. Yu and Jonathan fighting again. Something about bad driving… Yamamoto laughed and reflected on his thought that day. So young and they have to face death in the eye… These are truly dangerous times we live in. Tea saw him and gave a similar thought. For that moment, the idea of fighting to stop fighting seemed ironic. What was a victory if there was no future to live in?

 

“In any case,” he interrupted, “We can relax now. Professor Mayzel will be safe here and the only thing we can do now is wait. And besides, you need to be going back to your mission…” pointed Yamamoto towards Jonathan.

“Me?”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------

The old ARCAM building was originally built as a veritable fortress, as part of their Far East branch's headquarters. Despite looking like a throwback of architecture from the 70's it served the purposes of its owners well. With reinforced concrete walls and sophisticated surveillance systems, not even a mouse could get in undetected. While the upper levels of the building contained the archaeology labs, the lower basements were home to ARCAM's extensive motor pool, weapon labs, firing range and armory. Jonathan was wandering there like a lost soul after the debriefing and Yamamoto's parting words. He remembered he had something to do, but what? Perhaps the leftover adrenalin from the battle was dampening his memory, he thought.

 

“Hey, kid!!!”

 

He leapt a few feet, screaming.

 

From out of the shadows, the owner of the cranky and disembodied voice stood out.

“P-Professor Mayzel?!”

“Scared you? You're that new kid, Jonathan, right?” Mayzel spoke with his trademark devil-may-care grin. Jonathan remembered Yu's warnings on Mayzel's `reputation'. Could this be it?

 

“Yeah, that's me…”

“Hmm… a little scruffy for a Spriggan… I was expecting someone with more… clout.” Mayzel replied, as if giving Jonathan a drill inspection.

 

Clout?!!! Wasn't it good enough I saved your ass already? Just who exactly are you?!!! Jonathan could barely hold in his feelings…

 

“Well, follow me.”

 

And with that, Professor Mayzel spun and headed off into the dark corridors, leaving Jonathan no choice but to follow suit. As they walked, a dull smell of cordite hung in the air. These were where the weapon labs and firing range were, kept in the dark, away from prying eyes.

 

“Ah, we're here!”

 

Professor Mayzel turned into a door, to which Jonathan recognized as Weapons Lab 4… Inside, Margaret, and another red-faced solemn-looking hulk of a man stood, waiting for them.

 

“Master Keaton?”

 

Master Chief Hieronymus Keaton,(4) former US Navy SEAL and armourer of ARCAM's Spriggan forces. His years of experience in the field and working as a mercenary gave him unparalleled knowledge and contacts in the field of firearms. Some said that he could even get any type of weapon for you, if you asked him nicely enough.

 

“Had a busy day, Jonathan?” he asked, leaning on a counter. Jonathan ignored him and focused on the two military-style metal suitcases on the table. One was large, like a luggage bag, while the other was smaller, like a brief case. Margaret was on another table, busily typing in some data. As Mayzel walked in, Jonathan sat, like an unknowing student in an exam, unsure of what was going to happen next.

 

“You know, Yamamoto told me a lot about you… Kind of like Yu when I met him. Arrogant, and impulsive…”

 

Yu again, Jonathan though. But since he was the most respected and capable Spriggan around, it wasn't surprising at the comparison. But unlike the majority of other Spriggans here, Jonathan was not concerned with archaeology or saving the world whatnot. He was a soldier, meant to follow orders. It could be said that fighting could be the only thing that he was good at… He lived only for the thrill of battle and the paycheck. For him, this was just another chapter in his employment history.

 

“Here you go! Something for you!”

Mayzel opened the larger case and threw a jacket at Jonathan. “You can't be wearing that around,” pointing at the battle-worn AM suit on Jonathan's back from the morning's debacle.

 

He's got a point.

It was obvious that the jacket was a new kind of AM suit, but it was definitely a difference from the old one. Instead of being a standard-issue bomber jacket, this one was modeled like a stylish Matrix-type long jacket, fitted with an extendable high collar that covered half of his face when fully deployed.

 

Jonathan tried in on for size. “Nice.”

“Like it? It's been made to suit your fighting style. I've increased the Omihalcon protection area, and reduced the strength factor by 3-fifths to increase mobility.”

 

Jonathan sealed and activated the suit to test it out. He agreed, the length of the jacket gave him more protection from bullet rounds and more importantly, the artificial muscle bulges were less visible, which just suited him fine. He was still capable of superhuman feat, though now looking less like a steroid junkie.

 

“I also added some sneaking suit properties. There's radar-absorbent material in this suit, and it'll help to reduce your IR and heat signature. Quite handy during infiltration missions.”

“Cool!”

 

“I've got these for you too.” Master Keaton tossed Jonathan a gun. “As you requested.” The gun was a Glock 18C(5), fitted with a GOBRIN overmount(6), a piece of plastic that was bolted onto the G18C, adding picantinny rails and a compensator to it. In addition, Master Keaton also put on a C-more reflex sight and a screw top to the compensator, allowing for a silencer to be fixed on. Jonathan choked back touched tears. This was almost like Christmas all over again!

 

“Gee, thanks everyone…”

“Well, think of it of a welcoming present to ARCAM!”

 

Fiddling with it like some new toy, he cocked and dry-fired it.

 

“I don't understand though,” Master Keaton started, “Why you need so much firepower for just a simple bodyguard mission…”

 

The words acted like a spark of electricity in Jonathan's ears, and the gears started clicking into place… Mai! That was what he was looking for! He shot up, grabbed his stuff, and bolted out of there in a cloud of dust.

 

Master Keaton cleared the smoke. “Was it something I said?”

 

The smaller case, which was supposed to be taken, lay forgotten on the table…

 

It was already evening when Jonathan arrived at the Mizuno College of Arts. He had a hunch that Mai would be there, and she was, sitting by a fountain in the courtyard, clicking her hells like a bored and lonely child. Seeing her alone like that in the yellow evening sun, waiting for a person that never came, made him feel guilty for leaving her like that.

 

Maybe I should make it up to her…

 

But when he turned was about to leave his hiding place in the bushes, a hand grabbed him by his collar and yanked him backwards… He knew who it was. Gingerly, he turned around and faced Mai, bearing down at him with all the anger of a goddess…

 

“Uh… I'm sorry?”

 

Unbelievably, Mai threw Jonathan from out of the bushes and onto the hard concrete floor, all with one hand. From that moment on, Jonathan knew that he was going to die… And with a single hand, she lifted him up and started hammering into him with the fury of a woman scorned.

 

“How could you leave me like that?! Did you know how what I had to endure?!!!

“S-s-sorryyy!!!”

 

Mai gave him a sharp punch in the stomach.

 

“And I pushed your stupid bike all the way back from Ikebukuro(7)!! Did you know how far that was?!!”

 

“I…”

 

A jaw-shattering punch from Mai to his face cut him off

 

“And that jacket!!!” fingering Jonathan's new AM suit, “How could you have gotten that while I suffering all alone?! And what was that with all those guns? When I heard about what happened in the bay, I…” Mai's face gradually softened as she turned away from Jonathan, looking down. Maybe, Jonathan thought, he'd been a little too uncaring towards her. Having people wanting to kill you or do worse, without you knowing why was terrible enough. Until the threat was over, maybe he should cheer her up a bit.

 

“Mai, I…”

 

Unfortunately for his troubles, he was given another sharp punch that snapped his head to one side… So much for feeling bad… If that wasn't enough, Mai proceeded to lift (Note that she was a good 7cm shorter than him) and throw him into the fountain. Unbeknownst to Jonathan, Mai had a reputation of being known as the `Kitsune(8) of Mizuno'. Piss this foxy she-devil off, and there would be hell to pay.

 

“Okay! Fine! I surrender!” Jonathan shouted, spitting out water, stepping out from the fountain. “I'm sorry okay?! I'll do whatever you want, just don't kill me okay?!!”

 

Below Mai's covered face, a sly smile slowly spread across her face. “Anything?”

 

At the magic word, Mai sprang her trap. In a quick 360° turn, she was back to her cheerful self again, all anger vanished… “I wanna go to Shibuya!!!(9)”

 

Jonathan was speechless. But the deed had already been done… “Shibuya? But I-alright…”

“Yatta!!! Thank you Jonathan!”

 

And with her usual perky self she literally leapt onto him to show her appreciation. The only thing he felt from her was the near-suffocation when her breasts coincidentally landed on his face… causing a major nosebleed to happen.

 

“Jonathan! Are you all right?!”

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------

 

And so they went shopping alright, with Mai leading him by his arm all the way. Shibuya was known as Tokyo's youth hangout place, with androgynous youths and their equally garish girlfriends infesting the streets after dark. To others, it seemed like Mai and Jonathan was just out on a date like any other loving couple, although the reality was much more awkward and different. The more Jonathan tried to get away, the more Mai dragged him closer…

 

As they whimsically went trough the branded stores and futuristic shopping centers, Mai's eyes glazed at the handsome boys on the street and the glitzy displays in the windows. When they finally hit the famed Shibuya 109 shopping centre (10), she went up straight to the branded stuff and to Jonathan's chagrin, to the lingerie sections too…

 

“This looks nice doesn't it Jonathan?”

He nearly burst a vein. She was holding up a near-illegal bikini to her body to size it up. He fought off images of Mai wearing that at the beach, trying to keep the blood away from his face.

 

“I-isn't that a bit… ah, airy for your chest?”

“Well, then… does this get you all hot and bothered?” striking a pose with the bikini. The images finally broke through onto his mind, and Jonathan nearly nosebled…

 

“M-Mai! That's public indecency!!” Jonathan's embarrassed tone was almost a shout, causing a few girls to look curiously to their direction.

 

Mai gave a smile. “Of course not, you big dummy… I was just playing with you, baka…” she teasingly tugged on his jacket, as to emphasize the fact.

 

A stranger sight was Jonathan, standing by dutifully like a boyfriend while Mai checked out her unmentionable items at the payment counter. The middle-aged cashier nodded approvingly. Jonathan, could only manage a weak smile…

 

He was nearly carrying over 7 shopping bags (all bought under his paycheck of course) by the time they got out of the place. It looked like he'll be eating ramen noodles again this month… Jonathan thought that seriously, if she'd been given the chance, she'd be able to spend off the entire GDP of a developing country in a night. So far she'd bought stuff from Prada, Hermes, Burberrys, and lots of other foreign-named brands he didn't want to think about.

 

“Jonathan! Take a look at this!”

 

Mai's voice broke his train of thought. Oh great, not another 10,000 yen pair of shoes for her to drool on.

 

Mai was enamored at a piece of costume jewelry shining brightly in the window display. It was a silver cross, similar to that which Misato in Evangelion wore, but it could be opened like a locket and having just the right size for a photo sticker to be put inside it. “I want it…” Mai mouthed, more like a thought than an actual demand.

 

Jonathan thought that it did look quite nice… and suddenly he had a thought. He did feel bad for what he did to her and knew that he was doing this to make her feel happy, but he hadn't given Mai his apology yet.

 

Without thinking, he grabbed Mai and entered the shop.

“I'd like the one on display outside please.”

Mai's eyes widened. “Jonathan…”

“I told you I'd say I was sorry…” Jonathan could not help but give a slight blush at his moment of weakness. Mai could not help but smile and give one her own. Very rarely had a guy given her a gift, and even so the rest had been just yapping hormonal kids. She knew, that it could be the start of something…

 

----------------------------------------------------------------- ------

“Well, well, well… If it isn't the wannabe goth queen and her consort? I didn't know today was supposed to be cosplay night…”

 

Mai and Jonathan were on their way back when a highly unpleasant voice

came from behind them.

 

“Hina…”

 

If different fashion preferences represented different factions in the college, Hina Matsuuga would well be Mai's arch-enemy. The animosity and rivalry between Mai and Hina's rival Gothic Lolita group was great, even sometimes surpassing that of their hated Ganguro enemies. Let's say if they met on the street, something bad was bound to happen.

 

“What a coincidence, my dear Mai~!” dragging out the end of her name in a tone of contempt, “I was just going to meet my boyfriend when I saw you across the street and decided to pay you a visit...”

 

Slowly, Hina started towards Jonathan. “And is this supposed to be your boyfriend?” “Doesn't look like much though… I was almost expecting you'd end up with those nerd admirers of yours!” She ended with a scornful laugh, after giving Jonathan an examination worthy of a piece of meat.

 

Jonathan felt a sweatdrop forming. I suddenly feel surprisingly insecure… Mai felt her anger rising, but kept it in and cracked a smile. After all as a leader, she had to put those inferior to her in their place…

 

“If you'll excuse me,” yanking Jonathan away, I still have some shopping to do with my slave here… In fact, we were just planning to visit that Hermes outlet in Ginza(11) now…” Let's see you top that, Hina!!!

 

Jonathan thought otherwise… “Slave?!!! Since when-OW!” And received a sharp pinch for his troubles.

 

Hina just smiled. Slave? Getting desperate, Mai? But Hina had more than one way to humiliate Mai today… “Oh, have fun then! I'm off to Odaiba(12) for date with my boyfriend!”

 

Mai stopped and turned. Odaiba was the place for many fancy restaurants, and to get a boyfriend who was willing to take you there was even rarer… So does she want to fight, does she?!!!

 

“Ah, here he comes now!!!”

 

A shiny, black and ominous Mercedes E-Class pulled up to them and disgorged a suited bodyguard that deftly opened the door for the honored passenger at the back…

 

“Saru-chan!!!”

 

The white-coated and gloved figure that stepped out was none other than Saruta Moroha himself. As he approached them, Jonathan unconsciously pulled Mai closer to him. There was something he didn't like about him.

 

“Did you wait long?”

“Not at all Saru-chan!” Hina screamed, latching on to Saruta with all the grip of a baby chimpanzee. “I was just talking to my friend Mai here on her boring plans tonight!”

 

Ignoring her puppy love-addled ramblings completely, he locked his magnetic gaze on Mai… and in turn, when she met his femininely handsome face, she felt flushed and a attraction, as if she falling for him…

 

T-that's Saruta Moroha, the playboy! D-damn… what should I say?

 

Dispensing with Hina, Sauta moved towards Mai, never breaking his glance.

 

“And who might this far lady be?”

“I-I'm M-Mai…”

 

And to Jonathan and Hina's surprise (and envy) he just bent over and kissed her hand… Mai felt as if she was about to faint. Jonathan could not do anything but just watch and feel his side holster. If I could only waste him now…

 

“And you sir?” Saruta held out his hand while Jonathan stared, barely restraining himself. “I am Saruta Moroha. It is a pleasure to meet you.” Should he accept? He knew something was wrong, but he didn't know what…

 

“Jonathan.” Clasping Saruta's hand at last, “Jonathan Harker.”

 

 

What a sickening face. Jonathan really hated pretty boys.

 

“Saru-chan! Forget them! We're late already!!”

“Why of course,”

 

He fixed his eyes on Mai again. “Say Hina, my dear, why don't we invite Mai and Jonathan to dinner tomorrow? We could enjoy the company.”

“Whaat?!” Hina brattily replied. “But Mai doesn't even have a boyfriend? That guy over there is just his so-called shopping slave! Of course, it would be very awkward for her to just come alone…”

 

All giddy thoughts about Saruta evaporated when Mai heard that. That was a downright challenge and no inferior slut or her toyboy boyfriend was going to get away with that!!!

 

“He's not my slave! He's my BOYFRIEND!!!” Mai gave a retaliatory shout, to the surprise of everyone (Including Saruta), embracing Jonathan in a bonecrushing hug.

 

*CRACK* “OW-!”

 

There was no way she was going to lose.

 

“Well then, it's settled. A reservation for four at the La Cantinetta Enoteca Pinchiorri in Odaiba. Please dress appropriately. We'll be waiting…”

 

 

With that, they turned to leave in the E-class, with Hina sticking her tongue at Mai from behind. It was a full 5 minutes after they left when Mai finally released Jonathan…

 

“What was that about?!!! I didn't say I was going to be your boyfriend?!!” Jonathan shouted massaging his muscles. He could have sworn he felt something dislocated…

“Of course it's assumed, you idiot!!!” “Until we get rid of that bitch Hina that is…”

“But I'm almost broke from today!!!”

 

Mai gave him a swift kick in the stomach.

 

“Then think of something! Besides, people are going to think you're gay if you stay single any longer!”

 

While Mai continued to insult him, a call came through. He took out his Nokia 7260 mobile phone and answered it.

 

“Damn, Jonathan, You sound as if someone kicked your ass!”

“Very funny,Yu. What's up?”

“We found Jean.”
