QuickHand Mission File #000001 - My Awakening

Quote:

Hey everyone who reads this.... My name is

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Brianna Cerias

, codename QuickHand. My armor was just activated this mission, so the recording device was disabled. So, well, I'm using the base's recording device to record my perception of what just happened and then re-insert it back into my data banks.

First off, Strike says I should say my will. So... well... if I die in the line of duty, then tell my parents I love them, and that all my belongings may go to my parents to be divided up in anyway they see fit. And I will miss then, but I'd rather do my job and save lives and help others... and I know I will die for an excellent reason.

And now... with that said.... excuse me for a moment...

*Pause*
*Resume*

Sorry, I got... emotional about that... I just never thought I would have to read my own will. My mission, right...

Today, I was kidnapped while I was at the bank, trying to cash my check from work. Apparenly, this group called the Wild Card Gang thought it would be great to take a hostage as well as rob the bank, make them more "infamous" for kidnapping me. Plus, they were wondering if they could get a ransom for me.

They took me to a factory on the outskirts of town and tied me up, saying that they could get alot of money for a pretty girl like me. And Spade and Club kept asking Deuce if they could get a "round" in with me. It was horrible! They were such bastards!

Luckily, that's when

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Kristen

, er, CyberSlash showed up. She lept off of a group of tanks and tackled Spade. Then there was a loud blast of music, and it was really really defening until Slash clapped her hands over my ears.

SonicReverberation jumped out and riffed her guitar again and a energy beam shot out and slashed my ropes and caught Diamond's leg. It cut a huge hole in her dress and burned her leg pretty badly. She fell to the ground, but then clenched her teeth and got back up and threw her diamond disc at me & Slash. Slash pointed her hand out in front of me, and her gun quickly flew from her side and landed right in her hand! She called out "Scatter shot!" and the gun fired a shotgun like burst of energy, which blew the disc right out of the air!

"Run behind those tanks over there, we'll take care of them!" Slash told me, and she tackled Spade. I took the moment as all hell broke loose and ran back around behind the tanks. I saw the diamond disc whiz right past my head, though, and cut right through SonicReverberation's guitar... close to the end, I think.

That was when I became extremely short of breath and tired. I slumped down, and kept trying to breathe, but it seemed that no amount of air could satisify me.

And then I felt my heart stop dead and a great pain in my chest arose. I could hear someone yelling, "Hey, my readings say she's hit cardiac arrest, Slash, help her!"

I looked around and felt dizzy and fell over, but a pair of black gloves caught me and I saw slash's smiling green lips. She held me back up and stroked my side and kept telling me "Everything is going to be all right Brianna... It will be just fine... just hold on and believe in yourself..."

My wrist burned and I looked down. A silver band appeared on my wrist, almost flush with my skin, and it read "System Check Complete. Boot?" And I responded in a weak voice, "Mana Fuse..." I don't know why I said that, but I did...

My body alit with blue energy and a great blue fire came over me. It hurt so bad, but Slash never left my side. She too was engulfed by it, and my screams, but she still never left. My body changed... I became taller and leaner and stronger... I felt my hair grow in length it fell beside me, a beautiful blue color. My nails turned metallic blue, and I could feel my face change a little as well. And then, one last burst of blue energy washed over me, and I was encased in this wonderful silver metal armor with a blue unitard under it. Blue cards began to fall into my hand from the sky, and I felt one slip out and drop next to me, and I didn't even see the card face, but I knew what it was.

"Ace of Spades.... Ace of Spades..." I murmured to Slash. She reached over and picked up the card and showed it to me. Indeed, it was the ace of spades.

"Good girl," she told me, smiling again.

"Slash, we got your friends, Slash. You've got a problem on your hands," Deuce mocked. Slash helped me to my feet and I peered out from the vats. Indeed, Diamond was holding a diamond disc to SonicReverberation's throat, and Heart had her arm around Black Jessica's chest to restrain her and a ruby arrow also pointed at her throat.

"Can I keep this one Deuce? She's very plush and loveable," Heart said, squeezing Jessica a bit.

"Hands off of the top half sister. I don't swing that way," Jessica sneered.

"I'll play you for them," I announced, stepping around from the vat to Slash's dismay.

"Oooh, a challenge!?!?! Acey! Pick a game for our friend to play," Deuce said to his girlfriend.

"I like Blackjack," I said, sitting down at the table. I clenched my hand and concentrated, and a opened it back up to reveal a deck of black playing cards. I was on auto-pilot, I swear to God!

Acey sat down and said, "Winner gets to walk out of here. Losers get knocked unconcious or killed by the others. Deal?"

"Deal," I said. I dealt 2 cards to myself and flopped down 2 cards for Acey. She looked at them and revealed a king and said, "Hit."

Another card face down and it was a 5. She flipped over her face down card to show a six.

Acey smiled at me. "21. You can't win," she mocked.

"Not so fast, my dear," I instinctively said. I hadn't even looked at my cards, but yet I knew what they were. "Stand."

"HA! You don't even know what they are!"

I flipped over my Jack of Hearts and Ace of Hearts. "Blackjack."

Acey's face just fell and she stared. And with that Slash came around and punched out Heart and Diamond as Club and Spade fled. I threw my Ace of Hearts and caught Deuce in the face and knocked him flat on his ass. Wow, I had a good throw.

Acey just sat there, speechless as SonicReverberation came from behind and slammed her guitar into Acey's head. She fell over unconcious, still with that astounded look on her face.

"How did you know you won?" Slash asked me. I stood up and waved my hand past my leg, and a card was ejected out of the thin slot on my hip. As my hand went by, the card was attracted to my hand and I brought it around like I was dealing. Then, I did it again, only this time you never saw my hand go down to my hip to retrieve the card, I was moving it too fast. All you saw was a dealing motion.

"Honey, I think your new name is QuickHand. Geezus, how do you control that thing?" Jessica told me.

I smiled at them. I couldn't believe what had just happened to me.
