Key of Body
Prologue
The drop ship moved quickly through the
morning sky. Surrounded by a squadron of stealth jets, the carrier headed
towards its destination: Agency Isle. Inside, a group of military
technicians kept watch on the ship's conditions. In the main control room,
a door slid open, revealing a highly decorated man in his early forties.
He wore a gray army outfit, complete with over a dozen medals. One of the
technicians alerted his attention. "General Johnson, we have Agency
Isle in sight. What should we do?"
Johnson stared at the radar screen, which
outlined the island as a small blip. General Vance Johnson was nicknamed
"Rampage" many years ago due to his ferocity in the Kaiju Wars.
His mech, Gold Steed, sat peacefully in the docking bay. Rampage hoped
that he wouldn't need to use Gold Steed any time soon. That is, if the
Agency would cooperate.
"Land silently on the south cape of
the island. I don't want to alert their attention just yet." He
took a sip from a cup of coffee in his right hand. "I wonder how the
kid's gonna react to seeing me after all these years." The technician
next to Rampage spoke up. "Kid, sir?" Rampage smiled down
at the tech and patted him on the shoulder. "He was one of our best
agents back in the days of covert ops. He's got a new codename nowadays.
I think they call him 'Guy Wearing Black'."
A second tech called out to the General
from a computer console. 'We're within range, sir." Rampage
headed over to his subordinate. "Good. Let's go silent. I
want to make sure we're not being monitored before we do anything. The
government wants that Key, and I won't jeopardize the mission in any way!"
