How Love Blunders All...

[Mr.Fabulous]

Coming in through the front door, David closes the door behind him. He looks around for a bit, he sighs to himself and makes his way to the Northern part of the room, "Now then... Check all corners for any potential ambushes." He looks around the place, checking with his eyes at all four corners of the room. Basically, it was an entire mess: the crescent-couch was torn to shreds, paintings cut in half if not in thirds, rubbish and litter and all manner of stuff were spilled around. He clenches his teeth as he continued on his way, "God... DAMMIT!"

Unknown to him, Rei was high above, atop the paper-chandelier, hanging on the delicate frame and only making quite a small silhouette on the ceiling. Her hiding spot was perfect: not even David expected someone to be able to hide on the lantern, for it would take a very light person to pull off such a feat. Rei could almost giggle as the man soon stopped in front of the Minibar... the perfect angle and position for a swoop-down... She could almost imagine her blade going right through the gaijin's heart.

She readied herself for the attack, and---

But then at the push of a hidden button, David makes the Minibar move to the side by its own power, exposing a hidden door. Rei postponed her attack, figuring that such a find would've been interesting to observe before going in for the kill. The blast door opens up, leading into a white room; David quickly enters, shuts the door behind him, and the Minibar moved back to its original position, once again covering the portal...

Rei got curious as to what room that hidden door led to... But not wishing for him to suddenly come bursting out in surprise, she decides to wait a few more moments before proceeding to find out how the Minibar-mechanism worked...





... Once inside, David called out, "Menu, activate." A holographic drop-down list comes down in front of him, of which he quickly skims through.

The first thing that he activates is the Estate Anti-Air Defenses. He continues, "Activate Estate Surface-to-Air Missile Towers one, two, three and four, authorization code 'Vector-dash-Alpha-SAM-Showtime'"

With that, the Holo-room slowly hums, and then a woman's voice responds, ::: Authorization command accepted. SAM defenses initiating activation. :::

He grins darkly, "... Let's see how your precious backup deal with my Nuke Missiles, heheheh..."

Then David opens up another drop-down box, and after finding the right option he berates, "Activate Estate Complex Realtime Security Grid, authorization code 'Black-dash-Sigma-RSG-Black-Sheep-Wall'"

The Holo-rooms suddenly goes black... but after a few moments a glowing, green-rendered 3D-map of the entire Estate Complex rises up from beneath David's feet. He steps back to allow the image space; after it finishes rendering itself, David walks around the meter-tall scale-model of the Estate. He only does a quick browse before, amongst all the green, he finds a foreign, red model of what looks like Rei, in the middle of the Living Room. It seems she was right in front of the Minibar, trying to find the hidden button, "Computer, scan foreign entity..."

The Computer's reply came quick and concise, ::: Hogoshan Female, 160-Centimeters, 45.5-kilograms, Slim Build, Brown Hair dyed Light Blue, Blue Iris. :::

::: Armaments include KHoFAr-018 Model Lightweave Full-body Armor, one Katana-categorized blade with 62-Centimeter range, one KHoHG-P23 Model Photon-based Pistol, 5 Medium-category Shurikens. Strategy recommends Long-Ranged Combat; does not favor CQC, threat at Short- and Medium-Range. :::

David rolls his eyes in disgust, "Ugh... Kusarians and their little swords." He readies his Assault Rifle in front of him, making it squeal in delight, "... Let's see. Potential ambush point outside. Enemy right at my doorstep. Risky to open the door now...

"... Unless..." David waves the map down, and as the 3D-image fades away the room goes back into pitch-darkness, "... I let the frakker come to me." He kneels to the opposite side of the room, aiming his weapon at the entrance, grinning very darkly to himself as his silhouette disappears in the darkness, "Go ahead. Open the door, you crazy wanker. I'd like to see you try..."

... Meanwhile...

... Somewhere amongst the taller trees, standing on a stiff branch amongst the many others, stood Jaden, her ocular implant viewing the tactical landscape with a maximum magnification of 30x. It switches between a variety of visual readings, from visible light, to infrared, to ultraviolet, changing the pupil's color to green, red and violet, respectively.

All a sudden, she observes the Missile towers come online, their turrets swiveling to and fro, "Well, looks like he got them working."

She bends her left arm over in front of her, and then looked over the various controls with a strange glee, "... The hunt has chosen its battleground.

"... Commencing Stage 1." She lightly presses a single button on the Wrist Band, and all of a sudden a large explosion of significant levels of ions engulfs the entire estate to within a hundred-meter radius. The explosion itself doesn't do any physical damage, but any and all forms of circuitry, electronics and optronics caught within the blast zone blow up, or at least fry up, instantly. The windows suddenly slammed shut with thick plating, and since almost all of the doors around the place were electronically-powered they quickly malfunction as well. Being magnetically sealed, they would prove impossible to open.

The only places which wouldn't have been affected were either the holo-room, due to the nature of the room's interior being blast-proof; the other was the stairwell to the Roof-Pool, which was only protected by a glass door. With that, the only way to enter (or exit) the Estate for the time-being was through the Side-Pool Area, open from all directions, and from there a wooden staircase led to the Roof-Pool, which was also an observation deck of little cover, "That should take care of any form of Artificial Intelligence and Communications Warfare to be used against us, as well as funnel the frakker to a wide-open spot..."

Then another item catches her 'all-seeing' eye: the Hogoshan's backup has arrived, signaled by the Defense Turrets all swiveling to one direction. As the Nyx makes it approach, on its' side these two discolorations, the turrets waste no time unleashing barrage after barrage of missiles at the ship. Jaden grins darkly...





... and then frowns once again.





The Nyx's pilot proves a lot of skill by dodging more than half of the missiles directed at it with unpredictable and insane maneuvers, while all the rest were destroyed by the two discolorations' weapons: one sported CODENAME weapons blasting from out of it's figure, the other Jaden recognized as Reaper Mk-9's. She could almost facepalm to herself in disappointment as the vessels continued on their way towards the Estate through the ocean, "... Meh.

"I wonder how David's doing... Maybe after I activate Stage 2, I'll head over there. At least if they land, that'll slow those frakkers down." She crosses her arms...





... and with that, the light eclipses for a brief moment, the Corsair disappearing into the shadows once more.
