An Angry Storm

In the eyes of Natalie...

What the hell just happened? He outpaced and overpowered me in sword combat of all things to? Just what is he good at and how did they manage to make a Hypertana within a week!? That's impossible they can't possibly make that so powerful equal to 'Trueno' too. I'm so fucking disappointed with the result of that battle it made me look like a sitting duck.

The guy has his own ways I guess I respect him for that. But where did he get so much power from just wielding that Hypertana? I mean he said that its still a week old sword too so its pretty new and he's already used to the immense stress that the sword puts out. He is wearing an exosuit himself, so I wouldn't be expecting anything but that quick really?

Just who is this Dealer anyways...

An hour later...

My phone is ringing? And it's an unknown number... Better to keep this number tracked of its location. Wait... It doesn't have coordinates? This is super suspicious now, so I went ahead and picked up the call.

"Hello?"

"Oh hello there Natalie. I heard you were in a pinch." I did not expect this... It's Vaughn.

"Where the hell are you Vaughn explain what is happening right now!"

"I have no clue what you're talking about right now Natalie." Said Vaughn speaking vaguely.

"*sigh* Nothing, finding you is already a pain in the ass let alone adding another 2 annoying assholes added to the mix."

"Hey, now I'm just being on the right side of the industry Natalie. I ain't doing anything bad I'm just against what the Organization has begun. Plus I've heard you guys are in a pinch now quite surprising when I was there no one would try to poke the Organization out of balance. And yet look at you now being shaky as all hell now." Said Vaughn.

"Why did you call me of all times?"

"Well I heard someone has made a Hypertana within a week?" Said Vaughn.

"Yeah, and I did fight the man with one."

"You did? Wait why are you telling me this?" Said Vaughn.

"Well what can I expect this concerns you as well. You are the handler of Vulcan that thing took 2 years to create. Mine took 3 and a half. This is a serious case Vaughn. And those people are planning to mass produce those swords to their private army. If one of us could handle an entire military force. Just imagine an army with similar power as us Vaughn, that would be a catastrophic problem for the entire world."

"I get you on that one that is a big concern since Hypertana's are meant to be hard weapons to make. And hard to wield but they're making it look easy now." Said Vaughn.

"You have any ideas?"

"Nope, I'm still on the run you know and by the time I try to help you the entire Organization wants me dead by the time I make contact with you. Besides I'm your enemy now that I opposed the Organization." Said Vaughn.

"What if I strike you a deal. You will have Vulcan back if you help me take down the Dealer and the Ripper."

"I don't even have my exosuit for me to use it. Also I know you're bad at dealing stuff and you'll probably trap me once we settle the deal." Said Vaughn.

"I know you want us to fall Vaughn and you're just watching the war that is happening over here and you're having fun because of it. You sick fuck."

"Hey, I didn't call you out for your actions there Natalie. Like I said I have no clue that you are in war right now I'm avoiding contact as much as possible at the moment. Plus this is the only untraceable phone I could use right now." Said Vaughn.

"Of all people you could have called for help on that phone you called me? Are you even joking Vaughn."

"I'm not... Can't you tell? I called you here to warn you about the future. You don't want your students ending up like me right? I know Null is part of the Black Forest Company I managed to find their information and part of their plans. And they're gonna use Reyleigh Academy as a factory for future child soldiers hiding as a prestigious school. My students are stuck at that school too, and I'm worried as hell they're stuck there.

Wouldn't you agree Natalie? That they have gone too far now and relaunching their operations right in broad daylight at their hands are the smartest kids you've ever taught. Imagine they get caught wind of the programming and take advantage of their knowledge to do more damage. Knowing they're smarter than my old classmates, they're more efficient in dealing tons of collateral damage. Rather than just going directly to the frontlines and dying.

They can use their wits to take down entire governments with just the power of influence. You don't know how much things have changed. I'm still surprised I'm the last student that survived Class 3 of the Black Forest Company's factory of child soldiers. How I know this is because someone informed me the remaining 3 of my other batchmates killed themselves because of the backlash of their programming. You want to see them like that?" Said Vaughn.

"I get your point there Vaughn but I'm still pissed at you for not trusting me this time. I'm telling you this, if you help me prevent that from happening I'll make sure they won't find you. As a bonus your old exosuit and your Vulcan blade how's that for a deal. Plus I'll keep your students safe as well as a form of insurance that I owe you."

"You sure about this Natalie you're playing a risky game for helping me with this one. They might backstab you know. The things they would do just to keep everything within the plan. If you're doing this check your back always okay? How I know this is a secret for now, let's just say I conducted my own research and I hated the results of that research not because of the output but what I've found out from it." Said Vaughn

"Let's meet up somewhere I'll text you the location. Stay alert out there too Vaughn." As I hang up the call to prepare my side of the deal.
