Cursed

[Ash]

Ash woke up in the middle of the night.There was an alarm,repeating the same sentence again
and again.

"Warning.Intruder on floor 3,sector 1."

He put on his uniform as quickly as possible.

"I hope this is not one of those stupid tests again.Theyre annoying as hell.",he
thought to himself.

He took the elevator to floor 3 and arrived quickly at the armor-chamber.In front of the chamber
he could see some Medics and some soldiers,looking like hell broke lose.

"What happened here?",he asked one of the medics,saluting.

"We dont know sir.But it looks like someone gained acess to the armor-chamber.but its strange.
There is no sign for explosives or something like that."

"But that would mean that he must have a Security-card."

"A Security-card with a pretty high level."

"Or he is a Armor-user.",a voice said from behind.

Ash turned around and saw Dr.Helena,carrying some files and documents.

"Hey doc.What are you doing here?",ash asked,a big grin on his face.

"One of my Armors has been stolen and you still ask me what im doing here?"

The grin on ash´s face dissapeared as he walked into the chamber.only two of the three armors
were still mounted on the holders.Ash looked confused at the remaining two armors.

"Why did he take armor-2?
I thought armor-3 is the most powerfull Metal-Armor?"

"Youre right.But armor-3 has been constructed only for you.He would not be able to control it.",Helena answered.

"Any idea who stole the armor?"

"It was Amy.We seen her on the monitor.She knocked out the two guards in front of the chamber and took the armor.
I still cant believe it.Why would she do something like that?"

Ash had seen Amy only a few times.Sometimes during the training or on the floor.She always looked cheerful and happy.
He couldnt understand this.Why did she stole the armor.And what is she going to do with it?

"Ash?The old farts up there want you to get the armor back.They want you to go to the last location where we got a signal from the armor."

"What about Amy?"

"They said they just want the armor back...At all costs."

"And...where did that signal come from?

She looked into some of the files she was carrying,apparently nervous.

"Tremorton.Not far from here."

As she said that,ash suddenly looked angry.

"Of all god d**ned towns on this planet,it had to be Tremorton?Hell,i must be cursed..."

[Machaeus]

Eventually, Ash arrives in Tremorton. As he's looking for the armor, he's suddenly attacked by an Irreg. It shot him in the shoulder with a laser pistol, but before he can counter, a large sword pierces it through the skull. Urufu, in human form, walks out, a grin on his face. "Yo. What's happening?"

[Ash]

After the Irreg went down to the ground,Ash touched the point on his shoulder where the laser hit him.

"Nothing but a scratch.This Armor is amazing.",he thought.

He released the helmet from the rest of his armor and looked at the person who destroyed the robot.

"This is great.Im just in town and a civilian killed an Irreg.
I thought I came here to protect those people...",he mumbled.

"Anyway...thanks.But i could have killed these piece of scrap metal alone.",he said as he was walking towards the strange person,his holding his helmet in one hand.

"Hm...may I ask if you have seen an Armor like mine before?"


(If I spelled something wrong,please tell me,so i can correct it. ;D)

[Machaeus]

"I'm no ordinary civilian. And yes, you may ask," he grins.

[Ash]

Ash started to grin.

"Yeah,maybe youre right.Civilians dont wield such big swords.
In fact,they never wield any swords.
And?Have you seen such an armor before?"

[Machaeus]

"'Fraid not. I know someone who might know about things like that, however. Follow me, and keep in mind Dr. Vikel is, like most scientists, a wee bit out there." He sheathes his blade and walks off, beckoning Ash to follow.

[Ash]

"Fine.Im right behind you.I hope this Dr. Vikel really knows something about the Armor im looking for."

He could not think of someone outside the EDF who knows something about the Metal Armors.

"Oh yeah.I almost forgot.My name is Ash."

[Machaeus]

"Huh. Mine's Urufu. And yes, I know what it means. My parents had a sense of humor."

[Ash]

"Urufu?Isnt that japanese?What does it mean?"

Ash tried to remember some japanese words he heard long ago.
but he could not remember something like Urufu.

[Machaeus]

"It means 'wolf'. Like I said, my parents were trying to be funny."

[Ash]

"Funny?I think its a strange name.But why do you think its funny?",Ash asked curious.

[arbiterchamp]

Ruri*boson jumps next to Ash*:He's a werewolf, so the name is sort of a sick joke

[Ash]

"What the...!Where did you come from!?!",Ash shouted,visibly shocked.
"Never sneak up on me!"

He scratched the back of his head,looking at Urufu,then at the little girl.

"Listen.Its not nice to say something like that.So,why dont you apologize for what you just said?",he said smiling.

[Machaeus]

"The joke isn't sick, it's ironic," Urufu snorts at her. "And what does she have to apologize for? Nothing wrong with being a nigh-invulnerable monster with fangs and claws that can pierce steel."

[arbiterchamp]

Ruri:Yeah, well, unless you have to worry about getting chased out of town. But, since Tremorton is taking advantage of anyone who can fight, we don't have to worry about that anymore. Anyway, what's the deal?
