Unforeseen Allies
~~Story by Kashima.
~Beta Read by Karasu Murder

Kashima fidgeted faintly as he shifted his weight in the uncomfortable leather chair. He had been sitting inside of the lab being debriefed for the last hour or so on the specifics of his mission by the commander and chief, Natasha. The young, tan skinned hunter nodded at all of her words running a hand through his shoulder length black hair, his expression showing more then a little exasperation.
“Though I'm flattered you've chosen me to lead this excavation from the reports given, I'm nowhere near qualified enough to do this alone.”
“Exactly what are you getting at Mr. Kashima?” Nastasha queried coolly, her Russian accent giving her pronunciation of the words a slight inflection.
“To put it simply I'll need a team of hunters that consists of more than myself, if you're willing to give me time to find allies and compensate them as well.” He said flatly.
“You have yourself a deal.” A thoughtful frown caused her lips to twinge downwards at this news. The government didn't condone the idea of actually paying hunters suitable amounts for their services, but with a group of experienced hunters it couldn't be avoided.”
“Fine then you bring me a team of crack hunters and you have a deal.” She paused, sinking into thought as she glanced at the young man before her. A length of silence passed between them before she spoke again. “You have two days to assemble this team of yours, Kashima. I eagerly await to see who you bring me.” The young man bowed to her in a gesture of respect and exited her office, heading towards the central teleporter to take him back to the residential area.
“The task is set firmly in hand now it's a matter of actually finding people who will benefit my causes.” He murmured softly as he glanced at his surroundings with an almost bored air. Several names ran through his mind, legendary figures even.
“Ahh, if only Red Ring and Flowen were still around…” he supposed with a wistful chuckle. Little did he know the truth that actually awaited him. Kashima quickly made way back to his apartment not bothering to change out of his casual attire, merely reaching for a small personal digital assistant. The young man glanced at it; leafing through the names of every hunter he had ever worked or associated with. As harsh as it was in his own mind he didn't want to bring anyone along who would see this as training he needed hunters as experienced as he. The hunter scanned the names, finally landing on a few familiar ones, which he stopped to read over.
Dark Magician a force he knew well and trusted greatly, he would be great to have along. Powerful magic, independent, and arrogant he would survive to the end, simply to say he had did something others hadn't managed to. Then there was Mirinee, yet another force he was acquainted with. While not as powerful as Dark Magician, her sense of teamwork and concern for those she worked with would prove as great aid to the group. At last his eyes landed on the last name on the list, though certainly not least, he mused with a wry grin. Iori Yagami, a hunter whom Kashima wasn't too fond of but had no choice but to respect. Perhaps they were too much alike, or perhaps it was because when last they met he left Kashima battered and bruised and questioning his own strength. Of which reason it was, the young hunter wasn’t quite sure, but he chose not to dwell on it at the time, deciding instead to focus on the positive aspects. Strong allies were strong allies and that was what was desirable at the moment.
So it was done, he had a team in mind. With a sigh, he took his shirt off, tossing it to land across the room, where it draped itself over a half-broken last survivor. He paid it no mind as he made way to a laptop, easily pulling up the files of these other Hunters. What he read a moment later caused a growl of frustration to reach his throat, but he merely shook it off in annoyance, closing the laptop once more to think.
“Two available and two missing just as I expected...Well I certainly do have my work cut out for me...”



Chap 2: The Force of compassion

The easiest one to find would be Mirinee. She seemed to be the closest one to “normal” within the entire group that Kashima had managed to cull from a reference file for the last apartment she had been staying in. The young hunter looked at the solid door before him and took a deep breath before knocking, mentally preparing himself for the worst.
“It’s open; please feel free to come inside!” A pleasant female voice called out to him from the other side of the door. He paused in hesitation for a moment before stepping through the door, offering her an open smile.
“Long time no see Mirinee.” he said in an almost timid fashion, not adept at the art of asking others for help.
“Well, it hasn't been all that long I imagine. Maybe...what five, maybe six months?” He laughed softly nodding at her words
“Yeah, like I said a while...anyway I’ll be blunt…I need help, Mirinee. I've recently been given a mission to investigate the whole pioneer 1 incident but I don't think it would be wise for me to go it alone …Would you care to help?” he queried, glancing up at her face to gage her reaction.
“Well first off step inside we haven’t seen each other for months and you barely step an inch inside my apartment!” She scolded, watching with an amused chuckle as he hastily stepped inside bowing to her.
“Sorry where are my manners today…” he offered, rubbing the back of his head as he looked to her.
“At home where you always leave them I imagine.” She said mischievously, offering him a good natured grin before speaking again. “So sit tell me of this new mission of yours that requires even YOU to ask for help.” Kashima offered up a nervous chuckle, flashing the girl a sheepish grin.
“They want us to check out the famous Pioneer 1 incident and find out what really happened to all the people down there. You know...why we never heard anything back from any of them…They want us to actually go down onto the planet and forage around see what we can find out for them…so you game?” he held his breath while she considered his request
“Sure it sounds like a lot of fun to me!” Mirinee said back, her eyes brimming with animated delight as she grabbed up a nearby Hildeblues cane, aiming it at Kashima with a smirk.
“You just say when and where and we’ll be there with bells on!
“Glad to hear it…say when’s the last time you saw HIM?” he asked, catching her eye meaningfully. She bit her lip with thought, shrugging.
“He’s around...I think. I haven’t talked to him in awhile... Interesting this makes the task all the more difficult now…
