Killjoy & Lightning

Have you ever thought of helping a speed demon? Well I hope I can keep up with her. Knowing that she feels at home when her teammates were living legends. Or I think I am one.

After classes we were tasked by Maestro to investigate a person outside town that might have a clue about Null and their operations. Seems like Natalie is going to this mission fully suited up. I don't have the same tech as her but I only have my Z-suit in the back of the van.

"I would never expect we will be in the same operation."

"I mean we have too Vaughn. Everyone's identity and business is at stake here."

"How's harsh training?"

"It's been hard of course. I can say I'm a bit faster than before."

"I see. Your Trueno should be in top shape. You know people will pay a hefty price for a sword like that right?"

"Speaking numbers again Vaughn. But I can tell, a sword made to slice up any type of material known to man that can unsheathe itself at terminal velocity is something you never come by."

After a long talk during the trip we arrive at the location so I prepared myself with the lightest layer of my Z suit. We look around the area to check if someone followed us. Seems no one brave enough to do so. We scanned the area if there's anymore suspicious traps that might ambush us. From the looks of it the place is perfectly clean.

"Is it me or is this place too convenient for us?"

"It could be you know."

As I pull my charging handle and my finger on the safety to ready up and gun down any idiot who tries to ambush us in this perfect situation. Natalie has her finger on the release trigger of her blade ready to slice anyone who tries to be smart and fight her head on.

I hear someone going out from that home I still have my finger on the safety just to identify the person. Seems like a normal young man, scared of course due to me aiming my gun at him with Natalie prepared behind me. I signaled Natalie to stop so I lower my gun and started to ask him questions.

"Are you the informant?"

"About Null? Yes, I am the man you want to inform you about those fucks."

"Your name is?" Seems like Natalia is still tense.

"Hudson, Ma'am just don't cut me into million pieces I'm a Ex-Null member. But I left them because they were becoming crazy each day goes by."

"So you're an ex-member then. We'll take your info with a pinch of salt here ok?"

"I have no problem with that. Perfectly normal when your informant used to be from the enemy side. Now, let's get to business. Null is doing something ridiculous and planning to widespread miniature nuclear weapons."

"By miniature nuclear weapons are they?"

"Yes, Mr. Killjoy. Weapons that can be fired from the hip."

"I could buy some of them sounds like a good deal to me."

"What are you crazy Mr. Killjoy? Don't you know those weapons are very volatile."

"Don't worry Mr. Hudson he's often goes like this when it's about weapons he could probably sell for a profit."

"I see Ms. Lightning is calm about this. So I trust you then."

"Wait... Lightning you noticed something right?"

"Yeah, I know. Mr. Hudson I recommend you go hide for now."

Seems like we DID had people follow us or someone tracked us here. That's a problem I need a number on how many are they. I scanned the area with my thermal scanner, and holy shit. We're completely surrounded.

"Mr. Hudson do you have a panic room here?"

"Yes! I should go to it right now."

"Me and Lightning will handle this one."

Natalie pulls out her sword seems like she's not doing her charged attack. Well seems like I have to bring out the big guns. An M240B, with an endless belt mag connected to my suit. Let's dance you assholes.

Enemies began firing from every direction shooting everything in sight. So I began shooting back with my M240 with no worries about ammunition. Sparks flying, spent casings raining from the ejection ports, smell of lead and tree bark is mixing the fresh air scent. Natalie on the other hand faced on the bastards. Slicing through them like they were butter.

While we were fighting I heard thunder claps. Seems like Natalie is finally using her railgun. From what I can see from my side is she sliced a group of 10 men in one slash. Me on the other hand is just raining back their bullets as their own bullets ricochet from my suit.

"You know your bullets won't work on me bud." I swept the south and east part of the forest of the pursuers seems like I wiped them all off. I can hear the screams of those poor bastards fighting Natalie head-on. Knowing that she can out maneuver normal gunmen. I can hear her sheathing her sword as a sign she's finished on her side and we met up to the now ruined front door of the cabin.

"Anyways you have any clue where did all of this people came from?"

"No, I don't have any clue about it Natalie. But I can try to trace their spent casings it'll take a hot minute or two."

"Sure take your time. I have a feeling something's more powerful coming towards us."

"Take care of it. I'll do my investigations here I might be able to track down who sold these bastards sub-par guns."

Shifting into Natalie's perspective...

Vaughn will be busy for a while I need to take down this bastard. And it arrived... It's ridiculously huge and heavily armored. "What the hell are you." The size of that enemy is huge... A mech armored suit since I don't know how to fight this bastard I'll hold back my specialty.

"Okay big boy... Let's DANCE!" As my suit locks in and engages heavy combat mode. Covering my lower half of my body with armor. The suit seems to be shooting munitions at first. Those bullets can be dodged very easily but can I really handle that behemoth. I need data to help or give a guide to Vaughn on how to kill this thing.

I can deflect it's sluggish attacks. Maybe because of its ridiculous size and weight movement is pretty slow. But they carry a lot of force despite being slow again the result of it being heavy. Seems like a human is controlling it due to the not-so-slick movements. So that's a fault I need to take down notes for. I slashed around its outer skin and seems like it has armor.

3 layers of armor and they're very dense. Quite impressive for a suit this big, I was quite shock how they managed to power this thing. Wait... Hudson said they were weaponizing Nuclear material but that's for infantry, I think could be implemented into something at the very least. Like these suits...

I'll make sure I won't slice through by accident. I might accidentally hit its fuel source and may become a catastrophic event. Gotta make sure to be careful around slicing stuff.
