Kill La...Valor? (Grave and Wiki)

(Boy, she does not like Scott, does she? xD)

Cliche or not, his strength is undeniable. I'm even happier now that you did not fight him when he challenged you. As strong as we are, I think he'd be too much for us. I'd like to ask him where he got such power.
They had soon mopped up their share of the creatures and were back on the surface. Gensekt receded his power so that Aiko looked like just another schoolgirl again.

I don't think these creatures could defeat Scott, no matter how many of them there are. I fear that there are more powerful creatures that just haven't made themselves known, yet. You need to put aside your pride and work with him. Two work better than one when a whole country is at stake, and I'd like the opportunity to explore his power. Something on the same level as a Kamui is rare, you know.

Scott mopped up the last of them and saw Aiko leaving through a manhole.
"Hey, get back here!"
He climbed the ladder and was back in his street clothes by the time he reached the surface. He caught up with Aiko and was walking beside her.
"You and I are going to have a talk, whether you like it or not. I'm done playing these games with you."
 
Aiko yawned and continue to walk through the town quietly wondering about food, she did want a shower, maybe she should then go out again. The girl stretched and continued, seeing that Scott found her again after a while. " lets play another game then.." She stuck her tongue out, " blah blah blah, who the hell were you talking to or why were you wearing that to get your power..." The girl rolled her eyes, "so which is first then..." Aiko stuck her tongue again, " don't waste my time just get to the point before I start running..." The girl continued to tease him more.

(I think she's like Audrey from huniepop, look her up)
 
(I'll do that.)

Scott crossed his arms.
"Oh, what? You want answers, just like that?"
He couldn't help but smile, though. The girl had gumption, that's for sure.
"I'll answer your questions, but not here."

He stretched out his arms, feeling the customary adjustment from the Valor Armor back to his regular body.
"Let's go to your house. We can get cleaned up, sit down, and have a long talk. I'll tell you whatever you want to know about myself and my powers, but you have to promise to do the same. Deal?"
Scott was glad that at least they were having a civil conversation, so that was a start.
 
'She raised her brow, "who the hell do you think you are to just assume that...just saying you would go to my place." She seemed a bit pissed about that and annoyed, " I doubt you could pick up a girl even if you wanted to you know..." She gave a smirk making fun of him again, "no your not going to my house just cause you said like that, you weirdo..." The young girl sighed and rolled her eyes, " I was gonna go home take a shower and go out to eat, maybe do something..." She shrugged and looked around
 
(I do definitely see her resemblance to Audrey xD.)

Scott looked at her.
"I think I'm the guy with the badge and something a hell of a lot stronger than a gun. I think I'm the guy that knows your secret and can make your life a hell of a lot more difficult if you piss me off."
He was in no mood for her games, and was not going to take any crap. He was a bit caught off-guard, however, when she mentioned his dating prospects.
"That has nothing to do with anything!"

Honestly, Scott had never had much of a dating life. When he was in regular school before he received Valor from the Kasha as a gift for saving a young girl from a drive-by shooting, he just did the typical teenage dating of a few days and then on to the next girl. At Shadowgreen, he had been too busy training to spend much time with anyone, even the guy friends that he had. Many girls were impressed by his strength, and he had a few nights of passion with girls in his dorm when he was a senior, but none that he could call a real girlfriend. Now that he was working for the SIU, dating was the furthest thing from his mind. Honestly, it would just complicate an already complicated life, and he didn't need it.

Scott shrugged as she told him that he was not going into her house, but did want to do something.
"Look, go home and get cleaned up, and I'll treat you to dinner. Wherever you want to go, I don't care. We can talk there. And don't try ditching me at any point. I've got your energy readings locked into me and can find you in a second, so let's just keep things easy."
 
She started laughing to make a joke, "oh thank you captain valor...Actually I mean obvious..." (Lol burned) she leaned against the wall laughing for a bit more before she turned and crossed her arms with a smirk walking again, " so your also captain stalker and nerdy too..." ( did I mention burned) She laughed again, " fine whatever..." Aiko turned and walked down the street finally reaching her house and going to take a shower.
 
(Annoying little sister, much? lol)

Scott looked at her with 'Are you serious?' expression.
"At least it's better than Valor Man or Tin Can Man," he finally said with a sigh.
As she continued to make fun of him, he gave her a sideways glance.
"Whatever, at least I don't dress like a porn star from the VHS era."
As she went into the house to get cleaned up, he leaned against the fence across the street. He had some time to think now, and he thought about the strange creatures, and what their next move will be.

Valor, are you getting any energy readings off of those creatures?
Nothing major. Destroying the hive put a serious dent in their operation. They're not gone, but it will be a day or two, perhaps longer, before they can pose a serious threat again.
Good, but if anything changes, let me know immediately.
Of course.

What do you think of Aiko and her powers?
They're not inconsiderable. They seem to function in a manner similar to ours. There seems to be another presence inside of her, something not from this world. I can't tell what it is, but it's powerful. They seem friendly, if a bit irritating, but be cautious.
 
She was angry at him hearing his last comment at her, " I really wanna kick his damn ass now!!" She was really pissed, of all the things he could say he just had to say that one damn thing. She was giving off some heat even while she was in the shower, coming out after a while and putting him on, " he's gonna have a hell of a time trying to get some specific shit about them now!!" She was yelling now.

Aiko sighed as heat still came out of her even with her wet hair, finally in the hall but deciding to go through the back instead of going through the front where he would see her. She put a black hoodie to blend in with the dark and went over the fence going toward the town to get something to eat and away from him.
 
Gensekt listened as Aiko railed against Scott, apparently very upset at his last comment of her. He gave what was a shrug for him, since he lacked actual shoulders.
With the way you were insulting him left and right, can you really blame him for wanting to strike back? He's been more patient with you than many would be, that's for sure.
He sighed. These were the times when his job was the most trying.

Scott felt Aiko's presence moving way from the house.
"Dammit if I wasn't right. She really is trying to ditch me again."
He quickly morphed his right arm into Valor mode and punched a soft part of the grass, sending him flying over the house and her. He landed right in front of her, keeping his arm morphed in case she attacked him.
"Did you not hear the part where I can track your energy, even through that hoodie you put on to try and camouflage yourself?"
 
"And yet you haven't paid attention that I don't give a damn...." She started walking again rolling her eyes, though she did have her scissor in her pocket as a keychain. She ignored him again since it was already obvious in forever ago, always acting like he was a dad to her or something. " whatever...." The young girl continued walking not caring about being followed while she looked over to where she wanted to eat, she opened a door and walked in looking to see if she wanted to sit in the bar area or the chairs. Solo turned and sat in the bar stools, leaning back against the table behind her. " so...what now....you want info then your gonna kick their ass just like that? Your so stupid....always being the hero, it's not that simple..." Knowing he would say "of course it's not but I need help only from you..." Go bother another girl who has powers..."
 
Scott made the Valor armor disappear when it was clear that she was not going to attack him. They walked to a restaurant and found seats. She continued to insult him, and Scott tuned that out.
"Yeah, whatever. Let's start with information on you. Where did you get your powers, and how did it happen?"
She asked him stop bothering her.

"Oh, gladly. Just give me the information I want and I'll be happy to cut you loose. I'll clean up all of Japan by myself and be on the next plane back when I'm done. The sooner you give me what I'm looking for, the sooner you never have to see me again. So start talking. I'm eager to get started."
 
Again...you think your gonna be a hero and just kill everything that isn't human, it's really much more than that...I've done quite a bit of research and found there are three "brood gods" that are In charge of the hives, luckily they've made their hives here, but it's a danger because we're mostly facing 3 different brood and those gods don't have just one like that..their simply underling hives that act completely different like ants...these broods are evolving but they focus on one trait alone...." She sighed, "even more dangerous is if those broods invade the surface all at once and clash, two of them will have to die and there would be an alpha brood, gaining all the other evolutionary traits, which is the worst case scenario..."

She sighed and turned to the waiter to order a drink and some food for a moment before she put her elbow on the table and put her hand on her cheek, they are dangerous alone as well because their brood gods directly controls the hives at once too...from what I know there are three so far, ezken, karnthris, and the rektzu hives...their all adaptable but like I said focus on one specific trait, all their soldiers have the same ability of that one hive and changes only when the God changes, the God changes only by taking other hives of its own species..."

Aiko certainly did know a lot more than Scott, maybe even gen...she leaned back and stretched as her food and drink came in, " as for me and him...lets just say...things...happened..." She said glaring at him for a moment remembering. " I have some general knowledge on each ones strengths and traits and general line of evolution as well..." The young girl was giving endless information that seemed no one on earth even scientists or Aliens could ever find out.
 
Scott listened intently as Aiko told him of the three Brood Gods, Ezken, Karnthris, and Rektzu. They were apparently rivals, and would not stop until one was the supreme king of their strange race.
"So, basically you're saying that the more I kill, the stronger one of them will become. That doesn't sound like a big problem for me. These creatures, even their leaders, can't be worse than the Grymwar. I've battled with a real god, so I think that I can handle these things."

Scott smiled.
"I do have to thank you for the information, however. It helps me understand the situation better."
He leaned forward and looked her in the eyes.
"So, basically, I destroyed a hive belonging to one of these Brood Gods. That means we've yet to really put a dent in their operation. Please share your knowledge with me."

Valor was also listening intently. These creatures she described were fascinating, so like insects, but also more complex. His own species were similar to worms on this planet, like a worm mixed with an armadillo, so he could feel a kinship to their ways. Nevertheless, he was determined to do what he could to help Scott persevere through this.
If these creatures are more powerful than we expect, we might try and broaden the Forbidden Tenth Fist Armor. We may not need it, but it never hurts to be safe.

Gensekt was impressed by the depth of Aiko's knowledge. It was indeed more than even he knew about the situation.
Well, somebody's been studying in their spare time. And here I thought you had your head in the clouds all the time.
Like Aiko, he believed that Scott was vastly underestimating their enemy. He was extremely powerful, no doubt, but his overconfidence was something that Gen wished he would do without.
 
Yeah but if we don't do something they'll evolve more, no matter if we attack or not there's still a risk. But just by killing a bunch of hives might make them weak, it prepares them to evolve more and adapt to what my way of attacking....jeez your pride is really pissing me the hell off...oh I fought a god, all gods are the same which means I can beat them all...and they control a hive which I fought before so it will be soooo easy..." She said taunting him with a very pissed off face more than usual. "I can't believe your taking this not seriously!! I really need help but probably not from you of all people..."

"It's more about studying evolution and biology if anything, I've figured out their well some basic but not all major strengths and evolution paths but it's bound to change, because evolution can never really be predictable...maybe if you would quit being so stupid I would but I guess I'm done for now..." She turned away and started relaxing, eating and drinking what she had.

She sighed feeling frustrated with him, " well I do love biology and evolution..." She shrugged and gave a smirk.
 
Scott continued to listen.
"So it's not going to be easy."
Actually, that excited him more. He had been looking for a real challenge for some time now, and if they could provide it for him, he would be stronger and more well-rounded.
"Well, I wouldn't say I beat a god," he said with a chuckle.
Thinking back on that day, he remembered a lot of pain as Alan hit him with many martial arts techniques and damn near roasted him in his armor.

Scott frowned.
"I am taking this seriously. Just because I'm not scared and think I can win doesn't mean I'm not aware that this is going to be seriously difficult. You need to lighten up and enjoy life more."
He motioned for the waiter to bring him a Pepsi and turned back to her.
"I think that it's YOU that I don't need help from."

The Pepsi came and he took a sip of it.
"Even though you completely ignored my request, I will share the story of how I got my powers with you. The armor that I wear is made from the shell of a creature called a Voltari, which is an insect native to the planet Kasha in the next dimension over. The humanoid beings of that planet, the Kasha or Kashans, are an intellectual race unskilled in war. In order to avoid being raided and plundered for their knowledge, they developed the Voltari into a weapon. Ideally, the host and weapon exist in the same body and fight as one."

"However, there was an unexpected glitch. The Voltari turned out to be an accidental parasite for the Kasha, and sharing the same body ultimately led to the death of both the host and the weapon. Unable to use their mightiest weapon themselves, the leader of the Kasha, A'tana, sought out a being worthy of wielding it. They had to pick carefully, as the Voltari host is capable of unleashing power great enough to wreak unimaginable destruction. I suppose that she did not find a suitable user in her own solar system and came to ours. That's where I came into the story."

"I'm originally from Detroit, Michigan, and I was a normal teen living a normal life. Interdimensional aliens were something I would never ascribe to, so it's ironic how things worked out. I lived in a nice neighborhood in a dangerous city, but we had violence from time-to-time. There was a drive-by shooting, and I went to shield a little girl from the bullets. I didn't think about the consequences, how I would probably die, and for my noble sacrifice, the Kasha protected me and the girl. They told me that I was the hero that they needed, and bestowed the Voltari on to me."

"I named him Valor, since he represented justice and courage in the face of adversity to me. The Kasha had refined the process of being able to use the body of a Voltari while keeping the soul alive, so it took some time to get used to another being living inside of me. However, we became good friends and began our journey at a special place where gods, aliens, and supernatural forces all became a part of my life."
Scott finished his drink and set it down with a satisfied sigh.
"Your information has been very helpful. My people and I will take care of this situation."

He stood up and began heading for the door. He paid for his drink and was walking down the street back to his hotel. Scott had to report to Shadowgreen, and maybe get some backup on the way. The Institute had no shortage of powerful warriors and skilled intellectuals, so there was no fear that this situation would not be resolved. No, he feared that they might attack before they were ready to counter it. Scott would have to talk with the Japanese government to get approval for further operatives, and he also knew that destruction to the country might be inevitable.
 
So your a protector because you found an alien race and they couldn't find anyone they trust accept you....I hope you get your damn ass beat by an evolved!!" She told him with a sigh as she eased out herself. " I actually wanna follow him and see his ass get beat when they do attack. Of course like the movies it's stuff it's true that the lizards are using the sewers here, I couldn't tell what species because they were all basic, you can only really tell what they are depending on the specialized soldiers but that last hive we had were nothing but workers..." She sighed and headed back, " how do you think we do some research then beside studying..." Aiko went inside finally and took a shower and slept.
 
Gensekt listened as Aiko talked.
You know, I think you like him. You talk a lot of stuff, but I notice that your heart beats a little bit faster while he's around. And it's not just from anger, either. You're pretty sensitive to what he says, and I think you should be a little more honest with how you feel about him. You have to admit that he's not as bad as you act like sometimes.

She asked them what they could do for research.
Well, there is always field research. With a Kamui on your side, you shouldn't have to worry about them too much.
She took him off and hung him on the hanger. As she slept, he thought back to when they first met. It had been a very interesting day.

Gensekt had come to Earth in search of a host that he could inhabit. As a Kamui, he needed a host to survive more than a day or two. As he was passing by a neighborhood in Japan, he happened by a window. Aiko had been stepping out of the shower, and as he laid eyes on her, he became mesmerized by her beauty and by her assets. He phased through the window and straight into her, instantly making himself comfortable. When he spoke to her for the first time, she was pissed off and upset, but gradually, she came to accept him, especially when she learned what he could do for her.

Yes, Gensekt was a pervert. It had a always been a weakness of his, but he just couldn't help it. Aiko seemed to deal with it well enough, and the two had a good relationship. Now he had met a man with a similar nature, and he wished that he could speak with the entity inside of him. It had been so long since he had spoken with anyone aside from Aiko, who was intelligent and kind, but also very sassy and quick to anger. He settled in for the night and waited for the next morning.

Scott had made his way back to the hotel room. He was on the satellite phone, and connected with Shadowgreen on the second ring.
"Madam Shadow, I have an urgent update."
"Let's hear it, then."
"I have confirmed the existence of a superhuman within Japan. Her name is Aiko, and she wields a power very similar to mine."

"Is she dangerous?"
"No. She's temperamental and loud, but she's trustworthy. The real dangers are the creatures lurking under Japan. Three powerful Insect chiefs are about to make themselves known, and destruction to Japan can probably not be avoided. I'm going to need some back-up here, because this threat is simply too large for one or two people to contain."

"I can have your back-up in Japan by tomorrow evening. I'll send a small detachment of four to back you up. If you need more than that, you call me and I will get them to you."
"Of course. Who are the four you are sending?"
"Your favorite groupies, of course."

Scott smiled.
"Shell-Shock, Sandstorm, and Rocky, then? That's a good idea, but who's the fourth?"
"A superhuman skilled in the art of energy detection. You'll need to track these creatures, and I know that Valor has his limits."
"Thank you, Madam Shadow."

"Get in touch with the Japanese government tomorrow morning. They need to know about these creatures and that we are sending more operatives into their country. If this calamity is going to be as big as you say, we need everyone to be prepared."
"Okay. I'll let them know."
He hung up the phone and stared out the window into the bright city, a million thoughts racing through his head.
 
As morning finally came she yawned and sat up from her bed rub under her eyes, now it seemed that people would butt in with monsters that they knew nothing about. She weakened then once knowing of only one brood lord that was active in the time anyway. She had yet to see them but she had experience and knowledge herself with tactics and animal biology and behavior mostly with ants. Solo had always wanted to learn more about biology in mostly ants in particular with her, bugs just interested her more than anything growing up.

Aiko thought back at what he said to her last night, "maybe the only thing I love and makes my heart beat fast is telling him to screw off my damn business!" She told him her body heating up already, giving another yawn. The young girl slipped him on and got breakfast walking out with her scissor always as a keychain. She turned down the street, " they attack in a swarm, I haven't seen any specialized either and it's mostly luck. And he fact that they evolve...what I need is actual specimens, dead ones. I need 9 in total, there's 3 specific types from each of the three hives..." Aikido sighed and sat down at a bench. " dammit we need help but I don't know anyone and I don't wanna go ask that guy for help...he's gonna learn quick that these guys will adapt for better armor and weapons against that valor thing. They will learn and evolve...duh..." She sighed and looked around. " gen you don't really know a thing about me accept that I don't give a crap about anything and I pretty much hate anyone like that ignorant idiot..."
 
Gensekt felt himself being put on.
Well, it's true that we don't know anyone else that we can immediately turn to. However, if we looked, we might just find other superhumans in Japan. It's a long shot, but it might work.
She told him that he was misreading her, and he shrugged.
Okay, Aiko.

Gen thought that finding other superhumans in a country with this large of a population density was like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Perhaps we should just try our best to complete your field research by ourselves. We don't know how long we have until they appear. Perhaps examining the bodies of the drones we killed will help us pinpoint the location of their master hive.
While Gen did not necessarily like the idea of a return trip to the sewers, it was probably their only choice. Besides, Aiko was actually showing a serious side for a change, and he wanted to do all that he could to support that.

Scott was dressed in his finest suit and sitting in the American Embassy, waiting for his meeting with the Prime Minister, Tobuyoshi Nakai. He had met with Kasai at Cafe Alps and told him that he urgently needed to speak with him. After some wrangling, he had been shuttled here and now sat impatiently, checking his watch every five minutes or so. Finally, Prime Minister Nakai appeared in his white suit and shook hands with him, taking a seat at the desk.
"Now, Mr. Young, I understand that you have urgent business with me."
"Japan is in imminent danger of being destroyed," Scott told him, deciding to hold nothing back.

This jarred Nakai, and he leaned forward.
"Tell me everything."
Scott explained to him as concisely as he could everything that he had seen, and when he was done, the Prime Minister leaned back in his chair.
"It's so hard to believe, insect gods and all that, but if you say it's true..."
"I would not waste your time with it if I did not know for sure."
"I know, and that scares me all the more."

Nakai stood up.
"I will speak with the Generals in charge of the SDF. We will begin preparing arms and men for the moment that the danger hits the surface. Your operatives have full permission to move about Japan, but I don't want anything destroyed if it can be absolutely avoided. Japan is a prosperous and peaceful country, and I would very much like to keep it in good working order."
"I will do what I can, sir."

The two shook hands, and Scott hurriedly left the Embassy. His back-up team would be arriving at the airport in less than two hours, and he needed to be there to meet them. He jumped into his car and took the highway to get there the fastest way possible. Even so, traffic was dense and slowed him to a crawl. Time was of the essence now, and his team had to work fast. The fate of Japan hung on the actions of everyone involved.
 
"Dammit well now we should have taken a body while we could have, but I couldn't stand that idiot think about it. Your just as clueless as everyone not knowing how a hive mind works at all....well your bad at two things and good at one though..." She looked around and sighed, " unless I could...hmmm I think I have an idea, hey gen do you know where we can maybe talk to that leader like how that idiot does? I have a favor to ask him...the guy who's in charge of all government stuff....I have a plan on how we can make things easier and get more accurate research...."

And the drones are probably gone and so is the hive too...that brood lord is not stupid to be just leaving a fallen hive like that. They could use those bodies for food or something, they have no use for those drones so might as well use them...so we lost something there...I think we could get a ride to the government building just on the other side of town then..." Ain't sighed and looksd around waving her hand at a taxi as she told the driver and got in waiting to reach where they had to go.
 
Gensekt sighed.
If you put half as much energy into anything else as you did putting others down, your life might be better.
She then asked him about the leader of Japan.
The Prime Minister? I'm sure Scott's already spoken to him, and even if he hasn't, I doubt he has time to meet with us.
They hailed a taxi, and were soon on their way to the Diet Building, the best place to find the Prime Minister.

Scott arrived at the airport and was soon at the terminal gates. As he approached gate twelve from Europe, he saw his companions coming toward him.
"Scott, good to see you buddy," called Shell-Shock, whose real name was Nick.
His bright blonde hair glowed in the airport lights, and he seemed to have lost none of his enthusiasm. One would never guess from this warm greeting that the two had once been bitter enemies, but over time, they had become friends. Nick's power to use energy blasts would no doubt come in very handy.

"Don't forget about us," laughed his companion, Sandstorm, a black-haired young man with an athletic build that went by Michael to his friends.
"My little brother is in such a hurry, as always," said Richard, whose code name was Rocky.
As their names suggested, they individually wielded the power of sand and rock. Scott's own Armor of Valor technique had been partly inspired by his battle with Rocky years ago. With them was a young red-haired girl who could not have been older than twelve.
"Who's this?"
Rocky hoisted her up on his broad shoulder.

"This here is Chelsea, code-named Siren. She's only a New Blood at Shadowgreen, but her sensory powers are among the best in the whole school. She can lock on to an energy signal as easy as she can breathe and track it to the ends of the earth. She will be very useful to us, and she's cute as a button to boot."
Chelsea blushed a bit under all the praise, and her deep green eyes settled on Scott.
"You're Scott Young, wielder of Valor. Everyone at Shadowgreen talks about you, with many of the boys wanting to be just like you."

Scott rubbed the back of his neck.
"That's great, but they should look up to these guys, as well. Anyway, we need to get back to my hotel room and start planning a strategy. We're not dealing with humans here, so we've got a whole host of new dangers."
The four got into his car, with Chelsea sitting on Rocky's lap, and they began to drive back into the city. With a proper team assembled, Scott felt like he could get more of a handle on this situation.
 
"Well we need to warn him, as well as come up with a strategy, we can't go in their with just us and I really don't wanna be with him unless I'm forced to...I also need to ask him a favor, I say it's time for a little science experiment...." Once they got off she stood in front of the building with a mad grin. "Like they say! Class is now in session!!!" She yelled out laughing feeling her heart beat as she was madly excited now. I've got a full plan actually gen...let's call this....operation gene stealer! First thing Is to get samples from a hive, mostly bodies and some of the hive itself too as well as the DNA extraction from those bodies...we need to get a team of field scientists and help from the military for a large squad...that's the first step..."

She walked in and continued talking, after that we need to quarantine the major routes for heavy tourist and job traffic as well as the heavy communities itself. That's where we would already have the full militia under my command of course...." Aiko went inside and looked around, "umm is the minister here, we got something good for him..."
 
Gen's head was whirling from Aiko's fast talking.
Whoa, slow down there, Aiko. That's a pretty big plan, and we have no way of knowing if the government will get behind it.
They soon arrived at Diet Building, which was massive, and went inside. They went to the front desk and Aiko asked her question. The secretary looked at her with a curious expression.

"We have several Ministers here, honey, and all of them are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. If you mean Prime Minister Nakai, he's in an urgent meeting and cannot be disturbed."
The girl pressed her to the point that she held him a hand.
"Okay, I'll give him a call."
She picked up the phone and dialed his office. After about five rings, Nakai answered with an impatient greeting.

"I said hold my calls!"
"I would, but a young lady here is insisting that she talk to you. She says that she knows someone called Scott Young, from the MBI?"
"A young lady that knows Scott? That must be the Aiko woman he mentioned. Send her up immediately!"

The secretary nodded and hung up the phone.
"Are you miss Aiko, then?"
After she answered in the affirmative, she pointed to an elevator.
"Prime Minister Nakai's office is on the 46th floor, at the end of the east hallway. I don't know who you are, but you must be important for him to make time for you."
She went back to typing and filing paperwork as other employees rushed to her with orders from one Minister or the other.

Scott was in his hotel room with his four allies, briefing them on the situation.
"We'll need to go underground. The hives are down there, and that's the best choice that we can make if we want to intercept them. I've had encounters with their drones and they are no challenge, but I have not met the warriors or the Brood Gods, so I have no idea how strong they really are. We must proceed cautiously. They seem most active at night, so we'll go below ground after dinner."

Everyone was on the same page, so they spent the rest of the time before dinner conversing about current subjects and reminiscing about the past. They had a dinner of steak and shrimp, an odd combination but it went together well. To keep their wits sharp, those of age abstained from alcohol. After resting for a bit, they left the hotel. Scott found the manhole he had gone down with Aiko, and they made their way down in single file. Scott summoned Valor on his right arm and lit it to act as a torch, and they began moving down the sewer with a purpose.
 
She sighed, giving a wicked grin, "so he did talk to him already....he probably sent him after me after hearing about the attacks from last time don't you think?" She said with a nod going over up to the elevator and heading down the hall slowly. The young girl looked down at gen, "they'll have to....and I have plenty of damn proof you know...it's just if they are idiots to say no to me or not..." She sighed and opened the door walking in, speaking quickly, " of course it seemed you talk to that idiot to track me down after hearing how I stopped those attacks....damn straight it was me!" She said matter of factily. " well I'm just gonna tell you why I'm here....your the leader and you have everything yet your using it in a state of panic. Rather than in a state of logical thinking...what I want from you is to let me take over your armed and military forces under my command to fix this mess...that's all I need, though I also need you to do some other things as well if you'll let me help you....I actually know everything there needs to know about these things, their strengths and their weaknesses and I like my history with war so I think I can handle the strategy and leading part..."

She crossed her arms looking at him with a raised brow wondering what he would even think. " so...are you gonna let help me clean up this mess or not, and do me a favor and tell that idiot not to go anywhere near the hives. He doesn't damn know what the hell he'd dealing with!!" She yelled in personal anger and hate toward Scott. "I'm sorry..." She said calming down a bit then looking him straight in the eye, " don't trust him, trust with this, give me control and do whatever I tell you to, if you ever want to see the city normal and safe like this again..."
 
Gen shook his head after listening to Aiko.
Aiko, you have no skill with diplomacy, darling.
Prime Minister Nakai crossed his arms and gave her an amused look.
"Scott already gave me the whole story, and I know for a fact that you did not do it all by yourself. You did help him out, though, and I appreciate you making Japan look good in the eyes of a foreigner. However, I am in no way handing over the SDF to a high school student, no matter how bright she is."

He folded his hands on his desk.
"However, since you know Scott, even though you seem not to like him, I will hire you on in an advisory position. Share your information and prove yourself, and maybe we will see about allocating national resources to you. Your country needs you, Aiko, so please be wise."
She told him to keep Scott away from the hives.
"I'm afraid that I have no control over Scott and his people in a direct fashion. They have my full permission to do what they must, and I will not interfere. Scott, in particular, proved himself greatly when he saved the entire city of New York from an alien invasion."
