Ito Ai: A New Dawn

Ai and Mai worked for a few hours setting up the automated turrets. Ai was actually very happy she was able to use the tech the A.I. created for her own purposes. She had learned a lot about the coding structure the A.I. used as well. It made things easier when diving in and looking for useful lines of code. "Okay, this is done. Let's head back and grab that fool. If he tries to make a move on either you or me… Shoot his dick off!" 

Hearing Ai's words made Mai smile. Just the way she said it seemed funny to Mai because it did not sound serious coming from a fourteen year old girl but Mai knew Ai was dead serious. After her most recent experience, she had no problems doing when Ai said. The two girls made their way back to camp with ease. It seemed the mutant did not go towards the base which Ai was very happy about. She did not want to waste bullets trying to kill something that was already dead. 

Ai and Mai both had their weapons in hand as they made their way down the cell block. One of the first people she captured was yelling and screaming like usual. Ai waved her hand and Mai nodded, then walked over to the door where the man was, and fired off two shots. The screaming instantly stopped. "I will have the fool carry him out, tell the girls to come clean the cell." 

"I will on the way out..." Mai answered. She refused to leave which made Ai chuckle. 

"Mai it will be fine. There are automated turrets all over the place. Do you really think he can do anything to me?" Ai said with a smile as she pushed Mai from behind to get going. 

Mai finally nodded and reluctantly left but not before telling Ai to be extra careful and not to let him even touch a hair on her head. Ai let out a sigh and felt warm inside to have someone who was so overprotective of her. In her past life, she never had such a thing so this kind of feeling for Ai was pretty good. Ai went over to the room Eiji was in and unlocked it. "Hey, fool, come out. I got a job for you." 

Eiji who was lying down, face went black, when he heard his new nickname... But he didn't dare say a word since this was the girl he had chosen. "What kind of job?" 

"First starters come help take this dead body so we can get it out of the base." Ai replied.

Eiji got up off his bunk and walked towards the door. He sighed when he saw how vigilant Ai was with her gun trained on the one part he really did not want to lose. He wondered why this girl was so vicious. 

Ai paid him no mind as she motioned with her chin along with her eyes saying get to work. Eiji let out another sigh as he obediently went and did as she asked. Just as he went to pick up the body, he suddenly shuttered and titled his knees inwards when he saw that one bullet was in the head while the other was in the part he could not even mention. He really wondered how much hate these girls had against guys, but then he thought of something which made him frown. As young girls in this new world, they would surely be targeted. He decided it was best to not think of such things. He picked up the body and put it on his shoulder and walked out of the room. "Where to?" 

"Follow me but only move when I say so or you will die." Ai had good reason to warn Eiji because she had yet to add the trio's biosignature into the database. So her automated turrets would still attack Eiji and his friends. 

Eiji did not say a word he only watched as Ai seemed to press a button on a device every so often. That was when he noticed the mounted turrets positioned at strategic locations along the hallway. He could only feel happy he was not someone with evil intentions because they would be riddled with bullets as soon as they stepped inside this place. But he found the fact that Ai had such technology pretty intriguing and this furthered his interest in the girl walking so confidently in front of him. He wondered if there would ever be a day when she would rely on him. But he knew that day was nowhere close to coming any time soon. 

Mai met up with Ai at the entrance of the building. The group of three headed out of the base but before they did Ai made sure to turn on every turret there. The turrets had a short range to disable but could be reactivated from a much further distance. This was because of how Ai designed it. The activation button used more power to send a stronger signal while the deactivation button used less power and had a short range. It was handy since the turrets were triggered by a bi sensor so if someone tried to go in close they would end up getting shot. She also rigged it to short circuit if the casing was messed up at all, completely destroying the small chip inside.

After a fifteen minute walk, the three finally arrived at where she hid the type two machina. Eiji's eyes opened wide when he saw the intact machina in front of him. "This is?"

"My new guard dog!" Ai could not hide her excitement, her eyes glowed just thinking about the new barrier she was going to make. She truly felt like a child in a candy store.
