It was past midnight on a quiet summer night. A white object flew quickly by a row of houses. As quickly as the white object flew by, a black object pursued. If one were to look closer, they were the size of small figures. The white object was a figure with long, blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a white set of wings with two small boosters attached to her back, and the black object was a figure of the same size, with light blue hair done into short ponytails and red eyes, suited in black mechanical armor bearing a blade in one hand and a gun in the other. The white winged figure looked behind as she pushed her boosters to the limit. Turning her head, she swooped high into the air, narrowly missing a collision with a wall. The black figure pursued close behind, firing it's gun at the figure ahead of it. The white winged figure spun, avoiding as many blasts as she could. Despite her efforts, one of the boosters on her wings was hit by a shot, causing her to lose control of her direction long enough for the black armored figure to dash at her and grab her with the clawed hands of her mechanized armor.

Turning the winged figure around to face her, she drew a blade from behind her back. Just then, the winged figure closed her eyes tightly and and fired the engine of her remaining booster at her enemy, stunning her enough to allow her to break free of her foe's grip. Before she had time to turn once again to escape, her enemy pointed her gun at her chest and blasted her. Because of her armor, the shot did not pierce her, but shattered part of her breast panel, revealing three small, colored spheres. The winged figure's vision began to blur as her eyes began to look lifeless while she fell from the air. The black armored figure hovered in the air and watched her target fall from the sky. After a moment, she turned her gaze and flew off back in the direction she had come from.

As she was falling, the white winged figure's eye's began to take life again as her vision returned. She covered her face moments before crash landing into the roof of a house. Blue sparks came from her knee and shoulder as she tried to get up but fell down again. She felt herself began to slide down the roof. As she slid off of the roof, she used her left arm to reach and grab the edge. Hanging on, she looked to her shoulder as she tried to move her right arm. Her right shoulder sparked again before her entire right arm went limp. Her bare breast panel then began sparking and her vision began to blur again. The last thing she she saw before everything went dark was her hand slipping from the edge of the roof. Her limp body fell and by a great stroke of luck, landed on a window sill. Her eyes slowly closed before she ceased any movement. The black armored figure hovered down above her and looked down at her. After a moment, she looked up and flew off into the night, leaving the damaged white figure laying lifeless on the window sill.

As the sun rose the following morning, a girl with long, brown hair layed asleep in her bed. The digital clock by her bed read 10am. A woman who appeared to be in her thirties entered the room and sighed as she approached the bed and shook the sleeping girl's shoulder.
“Ayu dear, it's time to get up. Come on now” she said, smiling.
Ayu groaned and pulled her covers over her head.
“It's summer vacation mom...” she said.
Ayu's mom pulled the covers off of her.
“Yes Ayu, but you can't just sleep all summer. Now come on. Since your grades have been so good, I'm going to take you to the Kurogane shop to pick out your own Busou Shinki, remember?” Ayu's mom asked, smiling.
Ayu nodded. “I remember. I'm up...” Ayu said, sitting up, reaching for her glasses, and yawning.
“Alright then. We can leave after you get ready and have something to eat” Ayu's mom said. Ayu nodded and gave an “OK” sign with her hand as she yawned again.

After Ayu had eaten breakfast and gotten dressed, she saw something glisten by her window. Curiosity compelling her, Ayu walked up to her window and opened it. Looking down, she gazed upon the lifeless, damaged figured laying on her window sill.
“This is a... Shinki... what on earth happened to her?” Ayu said, carefully collecting the figure and her broken armor.
Bringing her over to her desk, Ayu gently placed the figure into a seatlike cradle plugged into her computer. Turning on her computer, a faceless image of the figure appeared on the screen. After a moment, the computer beeped and a chart appeared on the screen.
“Okay, let's see... so, you're an angel-type Shinki, huh? How about your name...” Ayu said as she tapped a few keys.
After a moment, a red “X” appeared on the chart where the Shinki's name would be.
“What? No name, no registry number, not even any registered owner. You're a peculiar one, huh? Okay, let's assess the extent of your damage...” Ayu said, taping more keys.

A small light located at the front of the cradle blinked for several moments before her computer made a beeping sound. The image on the screen showed the figure's left shoulder, right knee, and chest each glowing bright red. Her back area glowed a deep orange, and her other arm and leg glowed deep yellow.
“Man, she's in bad shape. She's going to need a lot of work...” Ayu said, writing down a list of parts on a piece of paper.
“Okay, just hang in there. You're going to be okay. I'm going to take you to my friend Alice, get everything you need and have you fixed up real soon” Ayu said, smiling kindly and gently running her finger along the the unconscious figure's hair.

Ayu placed the Shinki in a soft case with her broken armor, and descended down the stair to meet her mom.
“Are you ready?” Her mother asked, smiling.
Ayu nodded.
“Yeah, but there's going to be a slight change in plans” Ayu said, opening the case to show her mother.
“Where did you-?” she began.
“I found her outside my window. She's hurt badly” Ayu said softly.
"Were you able to run a system scan?" her mother asked.
Ayu nodded.
"Yeah. She doesn't have a name, and she isn't registered to an owner though" Ayu said.
"How is that possible? She must have been activated by someone" her mother said.
"I really don't know. But right now, she needs my help. I... I want to get her repaired" Ayu said softly, looking down at the unconscious Shinki.
Ayu's mother smiled and put her hand one her daughter's shoulder.
“You really do take after your father. If he found her, he would want to do the same thing for her” Ayu's mom said, smiling.
Ayu simply smiled back.
“Right then. That Shinki won't be able to repair herself, so let's go visit Alice's shop now” her mom said.
Ayu smiled and nodded, following her mother out the front door.


To be Continued...



Chapter 1 of my first Busou Shinki story:). For those of you unfamiliar with Busou Shinki, Busou Shinki is a video game franchise by Konami in which 15cm tall human shaped gynoids known as "Shinkis" are the pinnacle of robotic technology. All Shinkis are modeled as human females, and come in a wide variety of styles and models. Shinkis are gifted with emotion, intelligence, and free will, and despite their small size, are capable of feats of strength and agility able to rival, and even surpass those of a human athlete.
Shinki owners, or as their referred to, Masters, are able to outfit their Shinki with a wide variety of weapons and armor, and have their Shinkis engage in battles against one another. Despite their small size, Shinki weapons fire live rounds and can cause injury and damage to people, other Shinkis, and the surrounding area. Because of this, by law, battles can only be held either in specialized arenas or portable containment fields that not only contain the battle and any stray rounds, but also limit the output of their weapons to prevent fatal damage to the Shinkis and their owners.
Not all Shinki owners engage in battles. While battles are considered a fun competition, many owners also simply have their Shinkis as friends. Shinkis are highly loyal to their masters, and will follow any order given to them by their master as long as that order does not go against the Shinkis morals.
Because there's so much to Busou Shinki, I'll most likely upload a more detailed explanation later on. In the meantime, this is chapter 1 of my first Busou Shinki story. While it seems laid back now, the actin will eventually pick up, I can promise you all that. Also, those of you familiar with Busou Shinki have probably already identified the two from this chapter:). Rest assured that while Busou Shinki is created by Konami, the human character in the story are my own.
