New Road

*Tiiiiinggg* *Tinggg*

"Slowly!! Make sure the mecha aligned perfectly within it box."

Shouted the engineer leader while others are busy making sure the mecha is store properly within the ship and received proper maintenance.

Nosaka is the last one to be store inside the ship. He slowly raised his head and head out from the cockpit.

The moment he get out he received thunderous applause from the crew members and his teammates.

He slowly descending from the cockpit, the moment his foot touch the ground, Shawn and Wolfran already surrounded him.

"Captain, we did it!"

Shawn is the first one to warp his arm around his neck.

Wofran now stand in front of him.

"I apologies brother, I failed to killed him."

Even though he's now bowing down out of respect to him, his hands both gripping hard as if it was his fault.

"No worry, we still had another chance plus the Raptor squad also escape from there."

Nosaka words shocked both of them. This information is a huge one as they didn't have to worry being hunt down by the Raptor squad as those raptor guys are really good at tracking and hunting down their opponents.

Both of them were left rooted and staring at each other eyes, never did they thought that Nosaka inform the Raptor squad about their plan.

Not to mention that the Raptor squad actually succeeded in escaping.

___

"Sir, both the Valkyrie Project and the Raptor Project has escape the site 1005!"

This man on the early 40 look like some high level butler from the noble family.

"Hmmm, how about the data from both projects? Did you retrieve it? About both projects just let them be, we only need the data."

"Unless they decided to be a wanted criminals or something, we will not intervene in any of that. Cut of all our connection will them and begin our Shadow Imperial program."

Said the mysterious man.

___

Xavier now under a coma for probably 3 months, his two assistant now the acting manager, both decided to clean all of this mess.

"What did that old man said?

Ask the first assistant.

"He want all the data about Raptor and Valkyrie Project."

Answered assistant number two.

"Just give all of it to him. We already have enough trouble on our hands due to this mess, that guy is too big for us, he funded both projects over the last 20 years."

Both of them agreed to sent all the file and started cleaning their colony.

Meanwhile...

Nosaka who just woke up after a long sleep, look through his window, the shining star remind him that he now free from being an experiment subject of others ambition. He now had his own ambition.

He dressed up after shower and go straight to the briefing room. He then called everyone there. No all of them standing right in front of him.

"We will change our course to the Colony Site 1289, that is the frontline colony against the Kingdom of Vien, plus we can register our group there as mercenaries. Did anyone had an objections about this?"

Nosaka make sure everyone heard and understand the issues that they're dealing with now.

Nobody disagree with him, in fact most of the are eager to earn money and obviously fight.

All of them were trained to be a killing machine, so without fighting and basically war they'll feel like their life hold no value.

"How are doing now? Are you fine? Don't stress yourself too much, we all need your leadership here."

Hiyori hugged Nosaka from behind as she lay her head on his back, her soft voice ease his stress a little bit.

Nosaka turned around and pat the love of his life on the head.

"I'm fine, it just I still didn't believe that we now are able to choose our own path. What do you think about grandma Sophie and sister Anna?"

"Even though we're kidnapped those guys didn't touch them, they just drugs them and took us away."

Hiyori eyes turned red as she try to control her urge to cry. She only reply a bit before Nosaka hug her.

"I don't know.... they probably think....."

Nosaka now having a flashbacks about what happened 10 years ago. He wants to go home but for now he had to put it on hold, unless he can make sure his group became a famous mercenaries.

He cannot return home as he and many others will be treated like a criminals because they possessed high level Mecha.

"Don't worry we all missed them, especially Wolfran, it fine for you to show it to me but please be a hypocrite for the sake of others in group."

Hiyori hands wipe away Nosaka tears as both of them reminiscing about the past.

The seperate shortly after. Hiyori reach the control room and issues a new command that they will turned 180 degrees and head towards Colony Site 1289 the battleship now fully activate as long as their travel to there.

Nosaka now on the garage as he now need to enter Brynhildr simulation. He need to be on a great shape otherwise he will not be able to stay as Captain since everyone now working twice as hard for their future.

Amelia and Elizabeth having a simulation match while Wolfran having a physical exercise. Nosaka broad his Mecha and start the highest level of simulation available.

Their peace didn't last long because right after Nosaka simulation ended, the radar pickup unidentified battleship heading straight at them. It is possible that ship belongs to pirate.

Hiyori instant reactions changed the ship into battle mode, all alarms now activate and many started running towards their position. The Mist team is the first to respond and now on standby for any possible attack.

Nosaka that just finished his simulation now hearing the alarm, his face turned dark as now he feeling angry that problem already at his door after a few days cruising in the space.

"Oii, old man!! Put me on standby now. The moment those idiot launch the mobile gear, I will killed all of them."

Nosaka angry voice sounds on everyone ears.

All of them shivering as they heard the voice. All of them start working and put Brynhildr as the first Mecha on standby.

Wolfran who just arrived at his Mecha stop whatever he was doing and started to sit back like nothing happened.

"I guess all of us not gonna have a chance to sorties at all. Big brother now pissed off."

His remarks make every single Valkyrie pilots stop and started to grab the rations and started to drink like they were watching movie.

"This gonna end soon, why did I even bother? I should just take a shower and go to sleep."

Amelia words make everyone rolled their eyes, but her remarks sum up what everyone feels right. The were a reason for Nosaka stand tall as Valkyrie Project ACE, that guy a maniac the moment he pissed off.

They all learned it in the hardest way possible, all of them decided to pissed him off one time, and all of them were put on the Project hospital for 6 months due to many broken bones etc.

Just thinking about it sent goosebumps to all of them. They decided to just stop and watch it from the display, judging from the look of it, if their opponent were to rob them, they will launch their mecha in 30 seconds.
