Borrowing your Student!(Joint-Training | Yoko and Prime | R)

[Deleted]

Some people were afraid of stepping on toes. Uzaki Enterprises’ Chief of Security was not one of them. She had been reading the usual reports on the spiritual side of the business. The most common things that crossed her desk were reports on fights that people had gotten into. Thanks to this, she had a good deal of intel on pretty much everyone with powers in the organization. The latest person to catch her eye was Jill, Marcus’s underling. She’d shown a bit of aptitude for security work, both in terms of combat proficiency, and an eye for trouble. Any human who was willing to go toe to toe with a hollow was on Yoko’s radar. More so than that, anyone who wasn’t strong enough to escape a fight with a basic hollow unwounded, and was in this company, someone like that needed to get stronger in a hurry.

And so Yoko had sent a message to Prime, introducing herself:

Prime,

Your presence is requested in Training Room Two this evening at six sharp. Marcus may be your mentor in this organization, but he’s not the only one interested in making you stronger. I can teach you how to defend yourself against the spiritual threats of this world, and make you a better operative than you are right now. From what I’ve heard, you want to be able to act as you wish. In the spiritual world, freedom requires strength. Meet me tonight if you want to become strong enough to be truly free.

-Yoko Kusanagi
Chief of Security

Yoko was hopeful that Prime would take her invitation. She didn’t have much to go on, only a single report from Marcus was on record. She felt she was decent at knowing how to motivate people enough to show up though. This one seemed like the type that was power hungry. Yoko could use that to her advantage here. Heck, that personality trait served the Chief’s interests well. Her goal was to make everyone in Uzaki Enterprises a force to be reckoned with. Even if it felt a little manipulative to use someone’s lust for power like this, it was something that should benefit everyone involved. Prime got more powerful, and Yoko got a better operative. It was a win-win.

Training Room Two, where Yoko was waiting, was one of her favorite spaces in Uzaki Enterprises’ HQ. It was a barren white cube, a hundred feet on every side, buried under the building. The space was built to survive damn near anything. It had already been through sparring matches between Yoko and both Iwa and Kitai, and it was still standing. One more match wouldn’t be an issue, even in such a short amount of time. Yoko, wearing just a white tank top and black slacks, not even shoes, waited for Prime to arrive. She had passed the time by meditating, as she often did. Her thoughts wandered over a number of topics, but most of the time was spent reflecting on how far Uzaki Enterprises had come lately, and how to get them to progress even farther.

Oh Jill... It was your average day in the Shadow Isles as she sits upon her throne. Several windows appear before her as she watches the average life of humans before her. The anonymous figure behind her chuckles, "Don't you ever get tired of watching these poor innocent people, my child?" she said as the figure just stood by her. She shook her head, "No... I watch these poor people everyday because I know I'll never get a life like they do." she says with a sigh, before looking at her body. Such a unique power to have to travel dimensions with the help of one suit...

She slowly stood up and spreads her arms out, "I'm almost like a god! I can just look upon these people through their own shadows and even come out of them! I could be a mother fucking Grim Reaper! I could be a hero! Instead, I rest here... I await for orders from my superiors..." and this makes her falls back down to her seat. She would sigh slowly, resting her hand against her own place, "The only thing that doesn't make me a god... Is that I'm not Immortal. In reality, we are not immortal. Not you, not I... We are both just worthless souls at the end. Such sadness as I sit here..."

The dark figure turned to her, looking down at her with no face, "You seem displeased to serve someone, just why did you join that organization...? What is the true purpose in joining?" it asks her, obviously wondering why she would join such an organization after saying she would ride solo. She sat up and sighed, "I joined because I knew I was in good hands... Sure, I would still kill 'things' but I've gathered enough info to know that they need people like me to protect these people! These are my kin! They don't have powers but I sure as hell treat them all as if they're my equal. I once despised mankind, however I feel as if they're important for something. I respect my kin so I will help an organization protect everyone from hollows and such if the damned Shinigami won't."

Suddenly, her chest plate began to vibrate. "You have... One New Message. User, Unknown." said the voice behind her back. The armor has a built in speaker to alert her on stuff. She slowly sighed and slapped her breast, "Shut it..." and it turns mute. She slowly sighed and realized she needed to play the message. She'd slowly bang her chest once more, "Read the message..." and so the deep, deep, deep voice in a clear tone to get the message clear out to her.

(In case you want to hear what the voice sounds like, here)

"Prime,

Your presence is requested in Training Room Two this evening at six sharp. Marcus may be your mentor in this organization, but he’s not the only one interested in making you stronger. I can teach you how to defend yourself against the spiritual threats of this world, and make you a better operative than you are right now. From what I’ve heard, you want to be able to act as you wish. In the spiritual world, freedom requires strength. Meet me tonight if you want to become strong enough to be truly free.

-Yoko Kusanagi

Chief of Security"

The voice cuts off at the end. She slowly sighed as this was her signal to go and seek this person... Just who does this person think they are to accuse her of being so weak? She got up and walked to the window closest to the UE HQ outside. A shadow of a lamp post was just around the corner... She looked back, "I'll be gone for awhile, goodbye..." and steps right through before her friend could say anything. She appeared back into the reality world and slowly cracked her neck. As she thought clearly, her fullbring returns to its small form and she wears her casual leather suit once more.

She slowly slides her hands in her pocket and walks inside the huge building. She knew the room where to go, it was underground. She goes to the elevator and groans as it needs a card to slide for it to work. She grumbles and pats her body down. She widens her eyes as she finds the card in her butt pocket and pulls it out. She slides it through and it opens just for her as she stepped in. She poked a button to the room's level and from there she travels. She ignored that damn music and finally for sure she hits the training floor. There she walks to the door and opens it. It was a bright white room with nothing in it. Son of a bitch... Her power will be useless here. She slowly steps through as the door closes behind her. Her heels clap against the floor as she approaches the woman, about 25 yards away she stops and waits for her to speak first.

Faint hums reverberated from the elevator shaft. Mechanical noise was a constant in Uzaki Enterprises HQ, but this specific one was what Yoko had been waiting for. Her senses were sharp enough to easily distinguish the elevator from the other more distant noises. As loud as it was, the elevator was sure to be coming down to training room two. Either Prime had taken her up on the invitation, or someone else had decided to come pester her. Several seconds passed before the elevator actually reached the entrance to the white cube of a room. It was as tall as almost a dozen normal stories after all.

Just a moment before the doors slid open, Yoko rose off the floor. She wasn’t so lax as to greet a new recruit while sitting on the floor. It was the first time that the two Fullbringers had actually seen each other. The Chief sized up the new recruit fairly quickly, and she hoped that the recruit had done the same to her. Jill had a few inches of height on Yoko, but both had fairly similar builds. Yoko had a bit more muscle on her, but Jill probably had the edge, objectively speaking, in attractiveness. Granted, the metal arm and muscle definition knocked Yoko down quite a few pegs in a lot of peoples’ books, so it was only to be expected that Jill had an edge there.

Aesthetics aside, the Chief had noted a seeming contradiction in the recruit’s choice of wardrobe. Her leather suit and pants seemed like they were worn in enough that the leather had become soft and flexible. That was a fairly practical choice, assuming it was properly broken in. Then there were her boots. Heels? Really? Sure, Yoko was biased because she was a complete tomboy, but who the hell tried to fight in heels? It was a totally unnecessary handicap… but maybe it was one that Yoko should use next time she was training someone. Having to actually focus on every footstep would definitely give an edge to her opponent, and that might be enough to make a future sparring session more interesting.

[smear:0000ff]”Thank you for coming Prime. I have to ask though, why are you here?”[/smear:00ffff:1] It seemed an odd question at first. Yoko was quite vague in her question, but she asked it for good reason. She had fought two others in this room. One had come because she was ordered. That was Iwa. The Rogue was a respectable soldier, even if she was a bit unstable. Then there was Kitai, who had pushed Yoko’s tolerance to the limit. He had only shown up after being insulted to the point that he wanted to beat the Chief up. And then there was Prime. She had been invited here, not ordered. Even if Yoko had given her a direct order, the woman before her seemed like she would have shown up for her own reasons. If they were going to work together, knowing what motivated each other was going to come in handy.

Having figured that she might as well get things firing on all cylinders, Yoko asked a few more specific questions as well. [smear:0000ff]”What makes you want to work with Uzaki Enterprises, and why do you seek strength? I’ve read the report from Marcus, but I want to hear your reasons in your own words.”[/smear:00ffff:1] She waited to see what Prime had to see in response to this, or if she responded at all. There was always the chance that Prime would be either mute or just not talkative. Hopefully, the answers would bring Yoko some peace of mind. She was… unsure about Marcus’s move to recruit this agent. She felt rough around the edges at best, and was a double agent for someone like Xcution at worst.

Regardless of whether Prime answered or not, Yoko had a bit more to stay. [smear:0000ff]”Not fair to make you do all the talking though, so I’ll give you my answers. I’m here because of Kazura’s vision. We’re working to build a force strong enough to keep the world, or at least Karakura, safe from the hollows, and any other threat that rears its head too. I’m a part of Uzaki Enterprises because I believe in Kazura, and I seek strength for myself because he’s prone to biting off more than he can chew in fights sometimes.”[/smear:00ffff:1] She paused a bit to let that sink in. The Chief didn’t know how much Marcus had told her about Uzaki Enterprises. It was possible that Prime was clueless about the organization’s goals. Of course Yoko watched her reaction to this piece of information. Close observation would tell her how much Prime knew, and probably how she felt about such a lofty goal. There was just one last question. [smear:0000ff]”Now, how can I help you become stronger?”[/smear:00ffff:1]

['Stalker']

As she crossed her arms, she remained mute as the Chief questions her arrival. Such a dumb thing to ask. She continued to remain silent as she threw her another question... Being here was rather, 'boring' because the chief just kept rambling on and on about the goals of UE and that was rather just too dull to explain. Yes, goals are important but she isn't interested in the goals of further expanding themselves into some kind of 'empire', she's only here to become the good guy. Yes, she did state we're doing this to protect our beloved world but Karakura is just one of the smaller places she'd be willing to protect. What about Beijing which was closed by? How about the US's cities? Some small villages in Africa? Or how about the jolly towns of Europe? Also, why was Mr. Uzaki such a figure head to her? 

She would slowly open her mouth and speak in a soft British accent, "How can you help me become stronger you ask, Ms. Kusanagi?" she asks. From there, she uncrosses her arms and walks forward, "What'd make me stronger, is to further understand my own 'power'. You see, I do not one hundred and ten percent even understand this power I posse. Some people consider my power useless, others find it rather 'deadly'. However, we cannot go to straight towards that so easily, huh? So I really think you truly can't help me out with that, no offense." She stopped about 5 yards away from her.

Her eyes peered at Yoko as to also tell her more, "Your goals are valor yet they a bland. You seek to protect mainly Karakura town primarily but what about the innocent around us?" she asked. "Yes, you did state the 'world' but are you so sure you can fit more into your mouth to chew? I'd love to protect this world but if that's the case we cannot just focus upon Karakura itself. To answer for long ago, I joined because of two reasons... One, I wish to protect EVERYONE in the world... And two..... I believe down in my heart that you guys would be willing to help me out on something." she explains to Yoko but whether or not Yoko asks what that is, she speaks. "Long ago, when I was a little lass, I had the most horrific moment occur right in front of me... The result was the separation of my baby brother, Maximus. Your organization could help me find him maybe, so I do this for you guys to serve upon you and in exchange for you guys to help me find him..." she said... She had said enough to Yoko to respond. She crossed her arms and awaited for a response.

Great. Another new recruit that already thought they knew how the world ran. She was the mirror opposite of Marcus. Strongheaded, determined, and full of overbroad goals. How that man had convinced Prime to join Uzaki Enterprises was beyond the Chief. Yoko listened while Prime spoke, never interrupting her. All she offered was a nod when the woman across from her asked for help with something. And there it was, the self-serving reason she actually agreed to join up. Prime had no loyalty to anyone but her own blood. To her, Uzaki Enterprises was nothing more than a tool to help her find her brother. That was how Yoko had interpreted what Prime had to say about her motivation. If she was right, Prime could only be trusted so far. Perhaps she was overly suspicious, but a healthy dose of skepticism was part of her job.

[smear:0000ff]”I’ll talk to Kazura and see what we can do about your brother. We’ll need more than just a name to go on. Get me a full briefing prepared with everything you know and I’ll put my resources to work on it.”[/smear:00ffff] If nothing else, that should’ve been enough to appease Prime. Yoko would do as she said, but for the time being, it was merely an attempt to get the new recruit to actually be a useful operative. If this was a use and be used relationship, then mutual cooperation was the best way to ensure everyone got what they wanted. Still, the Chief was going to be inspecting every report about or from Prime very carefully. If there was a single sign that this operative’s loyalty was wavering, then the Chief was going to be on her faster than corruption on a politician.

[smear:0000ff]”As for the whole save the world thing, I think Asmiov put it best. ‘However, I continue to try and I continue, indefatigably, to reach out. There’s no way I can single-handedly save the world, or perphaps, even make a perceptible difference – but how ashamed I would be to let a day pass without making one more effort.’"[/smear:00ffff] As of late, Yoko had been reading far more than she used to. This line was from Asimov’s The Relativity of Wrong, and was one that reflected her sentiments about Uzaki Enterprises current strength. They were still quite weak, and quite few. Sure, Kazura, Marcus, Kitai, and herself could all fight a small army of average hollows by themselves, but there were plenty of stronger foes out there as well. Uzaki Enterprises either needed enough powerhouses to fight the elites and still have people left over, or they needed a veritable army of their own.

Today was just another day reaching for one of those goals. If Prime was going to be useful to Uzaki Enterprises, she needed to be stronger. To drive this point home, Yoko released her reiatsu and activated Cog. An immense surge of power flowed out from her. It wasn’t destructive power, but rather just a show of force powerful enough to cause anyone weaker than her to quake in their boots. [smear:0000ff]”Don’t get ahead of yourself Prime. Wanting to save the entire world and everyone in it isn’t realistic. This world is a lot bigger than you, and you’re going to need to get a lot stronger if you want to make a real difference. There are thousands and thousands of hollows out there waiting to take someone down. At this moment, there’s probably at least a dozen in the midst of trying to eat a human.

That’s why we’re focusing on Karakura right now. It’s a hotbed of spiritual activity. A significant amount of all the world’s spiritual problems come back to this city, as well as a few other major metro areas. We do what we can on a day to day basis, but we’ll never win this war unless we build up our forces in both number and power.”[/smear:00ffff:1] Having made her point, Yoko ended Cog, and with it her intimidation. If she kept it up too long, people developed a bad habit of always being afraid of her. While some felt it was effective to rule through fear, it wasn’t Yoko’s style. She had merely been trying to showcase the difference in strength between the two of them. She hoped that the obvious difference in power was enough to get Prime's attention, and perhaps even to get Prime to realize that the Chief knew a bit more about the way the world works than she was being given credit for.

She waited a moment before continuing, mostly to allow Cog to completely wear off. Despite the lack of Cog, there was still a dark edge to Yoko’s words. She wasn’t using any reiatsu to aid her words, but her tone bordered on sinister. [smear:0000ff]”Now, if you want to actually make a difference in the world, you’re going to need to put your money where your mouth is. If you’re willing to put your life on the line, I can probably force more of your power out of you. Humans have a remarkable tendency to find a way to survive in impossible situations.”[/smear:00ffff:1] The edge in Yoko’s voice twisted, becoming less sinister and more mocking as she continued. [smear:0000ff]“Of course, if you aren’t willing to go that far, I can still help you on anything from martial arts and swordplay to Soul Commmand and Output.

Just pick your poison.”[/smear:00ffff:1]

Reiatsu: 1650/1750
-100 for Cog

Since this was so short and unexpected, I'd like this to be graded. I guess I can get my points now since Yoko is gone. I'd like my points in... SP please. If not possible in SP then give me TTP instead. Thanks!

[Zou ۞]

Typically, you should tell us what kind of TP you're training for from the start in a joint training. That being said, this one time I'll allow you to choose the TP.

Either +130 TTP or +65 SP
