Chapter 1

The new recruit

Ameila walked in on Raiden to wake him, he's normally asleep at this hour, but he seemed to be quite active for a change

Ameila: Raiden you're up early

Raiden: yeah why would I wanna sleep in on a day like today

Raiden's excitement is quite clear to Ameila, she was worried what is about to happen but at the same time she knows he's able to take care of himself

Ameila: come on it's time for breakfast

Raiden: ok

They step out of his room and go to eggs and bacon, to his older sister Dani and their father Omen, Raiden took his seat next to Dani and Ameila next to her husband Omen

Omen: so you Ready for your day

Raiden: yep I've got thunder and lightning at the ready

Omen: is that all you're gonna have?

Raiden: do I need more

Omen and Ameila look at one another with concern, Dani then cleared her throat to get their attention, they all look to her then

Dani: seeing you've got a lack of fire arms Raiden and seeing you're finally becoming a pilot, I've made a small something for you to commemorate this moment

She brings up a gun case and gives it to him, Raiden opens it to a gun that has appears to have some extra features, he holds it with some confusion

Dani: try pressing the release on the stock then flick it

Raiden presses the lock and flicks it, the gun then turns into a sword, Raiden looks happy with the new side arm he has

Dani: it takes one bullet 50 cal explosive rounds and folds into a compact package

Raiden: thanks sis this is awesome

Dani: don't mention it Raiden, I know you won't really use the gun mode so much, because you prefer to use your swords but it's more for an emergency than anything, so keep that in mind

Raiden nods and puts the weapon away to finish his breakfast, Raiden then gets ready for his first day, he picks up his swords and puts his gun blade in a holster that's mounted to the side of his right leg

Omen: Raiden you must head down to the medical wing for a phyiscal exam a few tests, it's standard issue for everyone here

Raiden went to where the medical wing is and he has his physical, he even has a few blood tests he then waits for the results

Doctor: Raiden

Raiden: yes Doctor?

Doctor: uh due to your unique power of lightning, you're not able to have nanomachines in your body

Nanomachines are used to examine pilots status and to allow easier access to their mechs, it's something that's a huge requirement in the ZERO Corporation

Doctor: don't worry we do have back ups if we do have set backs like this

The doctor then pulls out some armour

Doctor: this armour does the same thing as the nanomachines and it will fit you like a glove

Raiden puts the armour on and it then adjusts to Raiden's body size and shape

Doctor: how does it feel?

Raiden: thought it would be bulky, but it isn't rather it's quite light weight and easy to move around in, plus it looks rather awesome on me, thanks doc

Doctor: don't mention it, now I don't wish to keep you from your first mission

Raiden clips on his swords and gun blade to the weapon slots on the suit, he then waves to the doctor and leaves, he heads towards the hanger where Dani Ameila and Omen were waiting along with their team leader Sarah

Raiden: sorry for the delay commander, Raiden reporting for his first day of duty

Sarah: please don't call me commander, sir or madam please just call me Sarah

Raiden: understood

Sarah: so you're Raiden I've seen you in the hanger from time to time, helping us out with our mechs

Raiden: uh that is correct co... I mean Sarah

Sarah: alright I've got one question for you Raiden

Raiden looks at her with full interest

Sarah: you ever built a mech from the frame to the armour

Raiden: sort of, we had to replace the whole armour on my mom's mech

Sarah: oh yeah forgot that the armour was nearly completely gone, anyways before we begin any further here's your comms device, this will keep you in touch plus give you remote access to your mech, and your patch, your now a part of team Courageous Flares, I can tell you'll serve us well

she hands over his communication device and a devision patch for Courageous Flames, he attaches the devision patches to his shoulders on his armour, he is also given a standard issue uniform to wear, an engineer comes over and gives him a tablet

engineer: please select the frame, weapons, armour and anything else you want, so we can build your mech right away

Raiden nodded and selected a medium light weight armour, standard issue swords for it along with high frequency blades and a combat knife, he then made it blue, the mech was then built in no time flat

Sarah: how many hours you clocked in on the simulator?

Raiden: hmm about 200 hours

Sarah: so you know how to control this machine

Raiden nods

Sarah: alright team here's today's breifing, there's HUNTERS attacking a space colony, it's our job to back them up, Dani you take them down from a far, Ameila you patch up the ones who are damaged, Omen you hack their systems and Raiden you help in the main action, any questions

There are none

Sarah: good then let's move out

They step into their mechs at the ready

Dani speaks to Raiden on the built in comms device on the mechs

Dani: Raiden? what did you name your mech?

Raiden: I named it the lightning mech

Dani: seems fitting for you

Raiden: yeah

The mechs get ready to launch, first up is Sarah's mech

Sarah: Sarah, Team Courageous Flares Leader, Blazing Flare Mech let's go

Her mech launches out with great speed, next is Ameila

Ameila: Ameila, Team Courageous Flares Medic,Angel Mech, here I go

It speeds out, then Omen

Omen: Omen, Team Courageous Flares Spy, Cryo Mech, here comes a chill

Omen speeds out then it's Dani

Dani: Dani, Team Courageous Flares Sniper, Typhoon Mech. let's blow them away

Dani speeds out and then it's Raiden

Raiden: Raiden Team Courageous Flares Scout, Lightning Mech, bringing the storm

Raiden bursts out of the hanger with great speed, he is soon caught up with his team

Sarah: what's it like driving a real mech oppose to a simulation Raiden?

Raiden: bit different in handling but I think I've got it

Sarah: ok just a small tip don't move to a speed you cannot control

Raiden: understood

They soon approach the colony and HUNTERS were everywhere attacking the colony

Sarah: team you know what to do

They scatter and begin their counter attack, some were picked off one by one by Dani, a few were acting weird and started attacking their own kind thanks to Omen's hacking skills their scrap parts were being collected and were being used to repair other teams mechs via Ameila and Raiden and Sarah were in the center of the action drawing most of them to the scout and the leader

Raiden: Okami Kendo School, claw blade

He strikes down the enemies soon thinning them out

Sarah: where'd you learn that?

Raiden: my dad he runs a dojo

Soon the HUNTERS are taken down completely, they then breathe a sigh of relief

Sarah: head back to earth now for debreifing

They fly back and begin the debreifing

Sarah: first let me say not a bad first day Raiden, you clearly understand what it means to be a pilot

Raiden: thank you Sarah

Sarah: and second I received a report from the colony we just helped out and they're very thankful for the help you're all off duty now go and rest up or do what you wish

They disband to do their own thing, Raiden is given a tour of the facilities by Dani and they then stop for a meal

Dani: nice work out there Raiden

Raiden: thanks Dani but couldn't of done it without any of you

Dani: don't be humble you did great out there

Raiden: sorry but if I let this go to my head them my performance will be effected, so I consider this to be a team effort

Dani: alright fine

They look over to the wall mounted tv and see the news about Courageous Flare successfully saving the colony, they get a decent shot of Raiden's mech and the news anchor says how he's really given the team a much needed edge they've been lacking, they then turn back to look at each other

Dani: so what you gonna do later?

Raiden: don't know maybe spar with dad later in the dojo

Dani: is that all you ever think about?

Raiden: pretty much the only way I know how to relax

Dani: might join you in on that then

Raiden: alright sounds great

They then go back to enjoying their meal
