Kisho walked to the library looking down at the numbers,frowning he pulled out his cell and sent a message to Jack:

Within five minutes Jack had broken through a door wearing a military helmet and gasmask. In both hands he held dual HK MP5's. For a second he looked around slightly confused. he wasn't embarrassed but he was slightly freaked out by the sudden alarm. After a few seconds he placed the slings of both HK MKP5's over his shoulders and removed the helmet and gasmask.

"What did you need?" Jack asked as he walked up towards Kisho, slightly annoyed by the message he had received not too long ago.

Kisho stood there looking a bit suprised he hadent expected Jack to come in as he did."This ...." Kisho said as he showed him the piece of paper with the numbers."I dont know many people in this school but your the only person I know that might have a slight idea as to what it means.."Kisho said.

Jack didn't really recognize the code, of course he had also seen many other things beyond that of normal.

"Looks sort of like binary, could be a code to a vault, or maybe a system access code, one good idea would to try and match the nu..." He stopped for a second then began fishing around in his pocket. People called him strange for such reasons as this, but when the time came, he always had a book for something. Jack smiled a little as he drew out his small code book. Upon looking to confirm it was what he wanted he handed it to Kisho.

"That should help..."

Kisho looked down at the book , After reading for a while"ASCII? Isnt that a sort of computer language?"Kisho said looking up at Jack "Why would anyone send me a message in this.....especially in such a fashion...."Kisho said with a sort of arrogant manner."but whatever this says I'll figure it out .....eventually"Kisho said with a bit of uncertanty in his voice.

"Well, why not translate it and see why? I've got better things to do soooo...." He aused for a moment then turned to face the door he came through earlier.

"...bye" He began walking away with one of his HK MP5's over his shoulder, whistling a song to himself

"hmmm" Kisho thought as he walked over to a table and sat down.Looking over from the book to the paper he couldent figure out heads or tails of the message and decided to scour the library for some answers as he got up and roamed the shelves of books looking for the appropriate topic. While unknown to him there was someone watching him from the shadows.

Indeed. there was someone watching him from the shadows. It wasn't much her style to seek into other people and their businesses. However, unbreakable codes and strange messages was all she needed to hear to even remotely become interested. Besides, it wouldn't hurt to be a little more social....even if it is for only one day.

She tilted her head, white long hair cascading down to the ground. It didn't concern her much; she hated her hair just about as much as she hated herself. She was a very peculiar kind: Golden tainted eyes and a very pale complexion. Still, she seemed to be the typical student here.

She wasn't wearing leather today. In fact, leather began to bore her. The school uniforms didn't bother her much (although it did make her feel uncomfortable with the sudden change of her tradition). There was little she could complain about at all.

The library, however, was the last place anyone would look for Zlax Wildcard. They'd expect to see her somewhere in the forest sharpening her blade as she tortured someone or in the dorms making arrangements for her next victim. But today, she pretty much hid in the library, stalking Kisho with her eyes. She didn't think he'd catch her staring at him anyway. Besides, he was too busy looking through different sources for answers. Zlax couldn't help him in that department; she wasn't good at breaking codes. However, it was starting to tempt her. She was beginning to become curious and the feeling felt like fire in her soul (if she has one at all).

"What are you looking for?" She questioned when Kisho came into a hearing distance from her. She unfolded her arms and raised an eyebrow, already knowing well what he looked for...

"wha?"Kisho said as he looked from the row of books he had been looking at over to Zlax.Kisho had been surprised he hadent figured anyone would be here..then again this was a library."oh....ummm..I'm looking for something thats in the general area of numbers..."Kisho said knowing full well he had already gained one source as a means of translation, but he wanted to make sure he would didnt have to go searching for other sources."Cant make heads or tails of this......"Kisho mumbled as he showed Zlax the paper, while he didnt know her he figured he needed all the help that he could get before the day, heck maybe even the week was out.

Zlax scanned the paper with her eyes in a matter of seconds before she glanced back up at Kisho. She shrugged slightly indicating that she couldn't make out what it was either.

"Well," She began as she took another look at the paper, "I could've helped you better if it were in runes or norse. But this? Where'd you get this from?" She asked narrowing her eyes as if she suspected him of some type of treason.

"For any matter at all, why is it so imperative for you to translate it? If it were that important, wouldn't it have been in something a little easier to read?"...

"Lets just say an mercenary of sorts known to make my life horrible handed it to me...."Kisho replied as he looked back to the shelves"as for making it something easier to translate......" Kisho said as he grabbed a book opened it and started reading a random page."I think the writer of this message only wanted me to read this..."He continued as he frowned and put the book back to where it was apparently it's contents were not helpful."And I have a idea as to who sent me this letter ...whether or not I know them.....is another story..." Kisho said as he trailed off a bit and turned around to face the bookshelf behind him.

Zlax shrugged plainly and much with apathy tied into it. She didn't seem to really care for the message anymore. Besides, it was taking too much effort to decode and way too much of her time just asking questions about it. Kisho didn't seem to make sense to her and for some reason, she thought that he was merely playing some kind of prank to gain personal attention for his own gain.

"So, who do you think sent it to you? And why, for that matter. Is it someone who is generally popular and well-known?" She questioned with her suspicion well intacted into her tone...

Kisho caught the suspicion in her voice but shrugged it off for now."Popular? Well Known? and having a connection to me?" Kisho said joking a bit."That might be a thousand to one shot....but then again the variables are endless....."Kisho said with a more serious tone this time."atleast if you have the facts that I do .....which isnt much..."

Zlax was a little impatient and annoyed now. He hadn't directly answered her question like she had expected him to. She stood from her seat and brushed herself off as if she had been sitting on the floor. She slightly shook her head as she tapped the sheath of her sword habitually.

"Who do you think it is?" She asked a little slowly this time. She didn't ask anymore questions before he answered this one in fear that he would skip it again. Besides, curiousity was almost killing her now and she didn't like it.

"Who sent you the note?"...

Kisho felt like he was in the spotlight now, hehadent anticapated someone to be so straight foward."well...."Kisho said turning to Zlax."to put it bluntly it might be from my mother....."Kisho had said it he didnt plan on revealing anything about his past if possible.but he thought."might as well.....whos it gonna hurt?"As Kisho turned back to the bookcase he was looking at a minute ago."I dont want to go into detail about this"Kisho hadent found anything useful so going over to the table and grabbed a piece of paper and pulled a pen from his pocket and sat down.

Zlax followed Kisho to the table and wrapped her arms around his neck from behind him. A wry smile came upon her lips and she almost felt like laughing. She had thought that the message was from someone really big and important...but no, it might be from his mother. Her perspectives of a mother wasn't very high due to her environment while growing up. Therefore, such information meant little to nothing.

"Well then, have fun decoding your mother's message to you. Although I don't find it nice that she sent you something you can't even read. The message must not be that important then." She muttered into his ear before removing her arms from around his neck.

"So, have fun with that. And have fun in the library. If I were you, I wouldn't even bother with stuff like that. It's a complete waste of time." She mentioned...

Jack had nearly bumped into the girl as he walked in. It was funny when people used the term "Bumped". It never seemed to fit the situation, probably another method of cushioning the blow of hitting somebody while walking and looking off in some other direction. However, Jack was looking forward when she began backing into his path. Upon stepping in the spot his right foot meant to go, he jumped back a little and looked to see who this girl was. He had never met her before, yet she seemed familiar. Of course the name was on the tip of his tongue but never close enough for him to even sputter out fragments while he waited. So instead he walked around her and towards the table Kisho was sitting at.

"Well....Black Rust isn't going to be moving for anothr three weeks..." Jack grumbled as he dropped into one of the seats at the table. "...so I guess I'm going to need something to do..."

Kisho looked to up to see who had joined him this time."oh hey what brings you back?"Kisho asked as Jack sat down."Black rust...I've heard that somewhere"Kisho thought."Blackrust?....wasnt that tank that went crashing through the school a few weeks ago?"Kisho asked.

"Yeah, I was in tokyo talking with a friend when it happened too. Thankfully somebody had the deactivation card before the bomb ontop of it detonated. cursed thing is tough, took every bullet, power, kick, punch, slug, tank shell, grenade, and rocket the local mercenary force could toss at it. Even when armed with meta-humans, it still barely reached the school labs..." Jack gave a sigh. "I took the bomb off but the missiles on top somehow detonated, now I've got three plates of armor to replace..."

"eesh thats gotta be hard then again I got a face full of bullets because of that incident"Kisho said suddenly remebering the pain from that day. Kisho looked down to the note and to the book that Jack had given him earlier."hmm this first 2 combonation of numbers should come out to.....the letter "H"..." Kisho mumbled under his breath.

Jack was wasting the time, watching as a small gold colored mechanical spider crawled up to his extended hand. Turning to face him it gave him a slightly odd look then proceeded to skitter around on him.

"Well....for one thing, I wish I was there. Getting back was almost hell too..." Jack replied. After a few seconds he stopped.

"Were'n't you the fellow who called me about the lab break in?" He asked as he sat bolt upright.

"hmm....Lab .....break in?"Kisho said as he remembered the events that day."uhh yeah ....I did.....why?"Kisho said as he turned his attention back to the message, this time gathering all numbers that were repetitive and translated them instead of going down the line.

Jack again seemed a little surprised. It was odd how this boy managed to get into his secrets so quickly, yet he didn't even know it. World largest corporation and it's leader was a theif. Young boy with a prosthetic arm, yet was once part of a secret experiment to design assassin droids, almost funny to believe he was oblivious to the small breadcrumbs Jack left while eating the loaf of bread. A twisted version of hansel and gretil. Of course he never took the time to inspect the very breadcrumbs that would lead him to Jack's true nature...

"Bah, no reason, just random thoughts going through my head..." Jack replied as he sat back down.

"I can tell you one thing though..." Kisho said as he continued to decode the message which was coming along smoothly."The guy that was there was fast....."Kisho said as he brought back the memories of that night in the labs."Managed to slip past me and Sino with out a sweat....wouldent want to meet up with him again...." Kisho continued."which reminds me....."Kisho said slowly pulling his attention away from the paper."I need some ....ammunition for a handgun..."Kisho said choosing his words carefully."I picked it up that night and due to that tank....I'm low..."

Jack laughed a little upon hearing him ask for ammo.

"9mm? That's the easiest to get ammo in the world. Goto a police station and they'll hand you buckets of 9mm..." Jack replied. OF course you couldn't get those types of bullets from a police station, they'd be even more suspicious if you walked out with buckets of the stuff, but he was just using it as an example.

"I can give you..." Jack paused as he began counting his fingers. "...four crates filled with 9mm, will that do?"

Kisho reeled at the thought of 4 crates of 9mm."How much?"Kisho asked as he thought about how long that would actually last him.Kisho looked down at his paper and the message, it was coming together..slowly but he guessed he had about 40% of the message translated as he added a few more letters to his translated part of the message."almost there..."Kisho said under his breath.

Jack raised his left hand and let a small bullet pop from his other hand. the 9mm round then landed on his thumb and he began using his knowlege of physics to make it look like the bullet was going around his finger, and defying the laws of physics.

"Well....judging by the label here, about two hundred bullets per crate, one was recently opened so three crates of two hundred and one of eighty three..." Jack looked over a Kisho fr a second.

"Will that be enough?" He asked as he stopped the bullet's spinning

"....one crate should be more than enough....Kisho said. Which was partially true he didnt expect anything to happen that would involve him in the use of a fire arm soon.He looked down at the paper now all that was missing was a few words but he could roughly make out the message but he was missing a few crucial pieces as he started to cross refrence the numbers and what they were supposed to spell out to the book that Jack had given him."So close ...."Kisho said out loud. But atleast he had confirmed one thing, this note was from his mother that had dissapeared years ago.

Once again Jack had been caught in his own little world. his mind seemed to explore how much had happened while he was here at Anime high school. He then began thinking of the other schools and what was going on over at their campuses.

"Hmmm, what does the messege say?" jack asked as he leaned back in his chair a little.

Kisho finished a few more letters and looked it over once."There....that should be it.."Kisho said turning over the paper to Jack."If I translated this right then....this is what it says."
Quote:
 
Hello Kisho, If you are reading this then, it means that Rant has come through for me....This may be hard for you, but I, the person writing this letter am your mother. I cannot disclose all the information that I would like to give you......The information about you and Sino are in a secure file server located at 01.net/KshSin.Zip .The file itself destroy itself on the server after you or the first person that gets to it downloads it.....
Kisho said getting up ad walking over to the nearest computer,as he went up to the computere he stopped."wait are the connections in this school secure? I mean if you think about it then...someone might be watching my every move at the moment...."Quickly Kisho turned around and asked Jack."can you set up a secure internet connection ?"

Jack gave a slight nod and walked to the computer. Searching through the internet he found a small website labeled "Blackjackal tours". With that he took the adress provided and typed it in. He then started typing in random names until one word popped up. It seemed much like two types of cards. One facing up and one facing down. Jack selected one of two options below.

"Hit me..." Jack mumbled as he hit the card. the card flipped over and the value counted. He then moved the mouse over the button but a little below it this time. Upon hitting it the screen lit up with the web page Kisho was looking for.

"Even if it's a losing hand, you need to always try your luck..." Jack sad as he got out of the chair and allowed Kisho to sit down.

"Impressive...." Kisho said with a small smile.The file had begun downloading immediately and it seemed that it was pretty large. Kisho pulled out a small stick like thing. Kisho himself wasnt too fluent in the general area of computers but he did like to have files with him just in case and this memory key was in the right place. As Kisho pulled off the cap and plugged it into the usb port at the back of the computer. As he pulled back to watch the progress of the file something or rather someone had caught his eye by the bookcases he couldent make out a face but this someone was moving in for a closer view."Shit!!" Kisho thought just as the file was finished he brought up the computers files and placed the file it just downloaded and put it onto the usb drive he had just inserted."We'r gonna need to move someones watching....."Kisho wispered to Jack as he pulled out the usb drive and deleted the file that was on the harddrive. closed the browser and shut down the computer as a precaution."This is going to drag out a bit longer than I had expected"Kisho said as he folded up both the translation and the original message and put in into his pocket picked up the book that Jack had given to him and threw over to Jack "I dont intend to leave traces...atleast not a very visible one, We'r going to need a laptop and few rounds"Kisho said.
