2 Volume One | Chapter One - Part One
The ground rumbled with explosions as azure streaks riddled the air.
Surrounded by an arena, a huge chorus of cheers and applause erupted.
Two mechanized humanoid figures were inside the arena grounds both were roughly fifty to sixty feet tall. One being clad in dark purple, the armour was feminine in design.
A jaw like spike protruding from its back, with two rows of sharp metallic teeth. Its arm transformed into a rifle.
Their opponent was clad in white and black, the mechanized suit also feminine in design.
This one wielded a sword and shield. Raising it's shield, the purple clad mecha fired at it's opponent as beams of energy struck their opponents shield.
After deflecting the shots, the white and black mecha charged. But without realising their opponents spike protruding from its back had come alive.
Attached to high density tendrils, the spike wrapped around the arm that the white and black mecha held it's shield.
Lifting it them into the air, it exposed the torso of the white and black mecha.
The purple mecha fired it's rifle into the opponents chest whittling down their life points.
Once it reached zero, a bell rang throughout the arena.
Game over!, a robotic voice announced.
Suddenly the crowd roared.
Game goes to Sachika Eto, the Scarlet Valkyrie!, the robotic voice announced over the speakers.
The white and black clad mecha powered down, the pilot inside the cockpit cursed at being defeated.
"Scarlet Valkyrie!" The crowd cheered as the dark purple mecha walked to the staging area.
Splashing cold water on his face to wake himself up. He couldn't help but look at the mirror.
His right arm was the only thing not human about him. Although the flesh was human, there was deep engravings nothing emanated out of it.
His body wasn't bulked out, but it was lean and toned sort of like a martial artist.
The dark blonde spiky hair was the thing that made him stand out the most from others, along with his ocean blue eyes.
He only had his trousers, socks and sneaker on when the bathroom door swung open.
A short girl with long wavy black hair barged in, she was ten years old.
"Oni-chan!" She estacitcally shouted.
The older boy rather flustered responded in kind, "H-Hey Aiko get off!"
"Ahh!" Aiko pouted as she let go her big brother.
"What are doing barging in like that?" He asked quizzically.
An innocent smile soon appeared on Aiko's face, "Oni-chan always need his Imouto's love!"
Exasperating he patted Aiko's head, "Yeah you keep telling yourself that"
He walks out of the bathroom leaving a rather disappointed Aiko behind. Once dressed he went downstairs to find food out on the table.
"Oh Hazer, you're up!" Hazer's mother shared his qualities in hair colour except her eyes were amber.
"About damn time!" A man boistly boasted reading the newspaper. That was Hazer's father he shared his sister's black hair and green eyes.
"Morning Mama, Papa" Hazer muttered.
Hazer sat down bowing, then said a short prayer. He didn't think twice about shoving food down his mouth.
Of in the distance the television was playing, reporting on the news.
In particular the Valhalla Games.
Once again Sachika Eto, known as the Scarlet Valkyrie won yesterday's match flawlessly...
Looking at the television screen, Hazer could see a girl in short silver hair one side hanged longer than then other.
"Look Mama it's her, Scarlet Valkyrie!" Aiko shouted. Their mother nodded implying that she was taking note.
"I bet Hazer misses his days as a Valkyrie pilot?" His father asks.
Hazer just shrugged.
"What! No told me Oni-chan was a Valkyrie pilot!" She looks at her parents dejectedly.
"That's because...it's classified" Hazer injects casually whilst eating his breakfast.
Aiko hops off the sofa running towards Hazer excitedly.
"So tell me about it!" Aiko demanding as she looks up to Hazer, her sweet face piercing his soul.
He pats her head once again, "Like I said it's classified, so I can't tell you"
Aiko pouts clearly agitated at her brothers reluctantance to let anything spill.
Both Hazer and Aiko were dressed in casual clothes ready to head out.
Their mother was standing in the hallway as was their father. Seeing them off.
"Are you going to drop by to see Niko?" Hazer asks his parents.
"Don't worry, we'll be there" his father replied, giving him an encouraging thumbs up.
"Okay, well me and Aiko are heading to the hospital now" Hazer announced.
Both Hazer and Aiko said their goodbyes as they left through the front door. Both their parents returned the kind gesture.
Aiko came barging through the door into the patients room.
"Aiko watch yourself!" Hazer shouted.
A girl with black wavy hair like Aiko's laid in a hospital bed. Her ocean blue eyes resembled Hazer's. Turning to Aiko the girl smile gently as the former hugged her.
"Niko!" Aiko shouted excitedly.
Niko giggled, " Hey Aiko"
Niko looks to Hazer with a gleeful expression.
"Oni-chan!"
Hazer smiled, "Hey Niko, you doing well?"
"Yep!" She have her older brother a thumbs up.
Niko readjusted her body to face her siblings. When she pulled the covers off, it revealed her missing legs from the knee down.
Seeing them made a bitter taste come up Hazer's throat. He was distracted from that thought when the door opened to the room.
"Good news, she'll be allowed a few hours out of hospital" the nurse smiled gently. She soon left the trio alone attending to her other duties for the day.
Hazer threw a brand new pair of clothes towards Niko whom catches them easily.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"You'll find out soon enough..." a kind smile appearing on his face "...Aiko help your get dressed into her new clothes"
"Okie dokie!" Without delay she started to help Niko dress.
As for Hazer he felt the room to give the twins some alone time.
