The party - the house was rocking! Music was loud but the establishment was totally legit. The building almost looked like a warehouse but you could tell from the outside it was a well taken care of business type building. And yet, you could hear the music from down the street. Today was anticipated. It was one of the more 'public' events - a twenty one plus kind of party. The kind of party that's been talked about in all 4 cities. Its one of the more cop based kind of events, but the party didn't feel like it. It was something you swore you saw on a social media ad. It had many different purposes but Gemikai knew it would was all game. Gemikai had it on his calendar as 'work party - but look good anyways' - the fly dog translated his past self properly, and that was to pop out, keep it professional, but act up at the same time. Gemikai was still single! But a lot of co workers were going to be present.
The morning of the party was spent heavy training in the gravity machine. 95x. To the fucking limit. Gemikai's training session was harder than ever before - and he knew exactly why. Gemikai was usually very patient with himself with progress, but lately the strongest of strong know that something terrible is coming to earth. The scene of Gemikai in nothing but shorts give and receive punches as the gravity continues to press is now visible to readers. The robot was on the offense but the fighting continued. Gemikai was working on switching from defense to offense simultaneously and without an obvious notice to alert his opponents. The ability to switch tactics on the fly - wasn't needed until people like Liari started punching him. That shit hurts. One thing Gemikai learned in that fight was keeping creative responses as the flow of combat continues until it's at its end. The camera watches Gemikai train for a while as the robot stays up with his attacks. Gemikai was almost enjoying it, that is until he remembers what he's truly fighting for. Then - Gemikai gets pumped up with adrenaline and pushes harder. It took a few hours of the morning - or until his supervisor called his cell phone. Using one of the few safe words Gem created, the training bot powered down peacefully - allowing Gem to stop fighting the doll. But the gravity was still pressure. Gemikai ran in a circle for about fifty laps on high gravity just to finalize the training to the fullest before pressing the return gravity button. You can hear the sounds of the gravity altering the space to release the hold it has on the existence of gravity on earth. A few minutes was attained but it was spent catching Gem's breath, and boy did he need a few. The strain on his muscles was always crazy levels high - Gem was always fascinated by technologies discovery on making a machine capable of pushing that kind of strength out of a person. After the breathing and waiting till his strength somewhat came back - Gem finally walked his mortal body to his gym bag. The bag of many things but today his hands grab the android phone. After wiping severe amounts of sweat from his skin and under his clothes, and only after doing all of that - did Gem open his notification section to see the missed call.
The party was today. Just what Gem needed when a pending planetary destruction is at hand likely days away. A stupid human party to pass the time - Gem was always just a trophy case for the USD. No promotions or raise besides ownage of this big ass mansion he owns - but property given by USD. Gemikai remembered talks about it but hoped something would come up intercepting it. Gemikai pondered in the chambers for a second before changing his mind. Going could be positive. What's life to protect if it is not to be enjoyed? So now from the morning Gemikai worked on remembering what it's like to go to a party. What could go wrong ? The weird military humans either like or hate him, girls wanna touch him, and government officials pop up. Just a mixed bowl of work and pleasure. Can't smoke weed around that party though, so he'll get high at home before Gem gets a ride.
The media has been looking for him lately, but his coworkers can be slightly annoying, and Gem be running. Gemikai tries to stay out the sight but sometimes his friendly personality confuses folks. Or folks just confuse themselves with a self invite. At this point of the game it's hard though, for Gemikai. Why? Gemikai lives a very different lifestyle outside USD. Not his morals but connection to the supernatural. These people are fascinated and bewitched by Gems power - but that doesn't create solid friendship. Its lovely that our Gemikai knows that fact. Gemikai was informed like the other agents a separate security team is overlooking the security of the party. This information was basically telling folks they can let their hair down peacefully, and to probably have a good time. Or at least one would think. Gemikai was offered by a could of the agents on coming to the party with them. Pre game. Sometimes much better than the actual party if done correct. Gemikai don't go to parties too often, usually just enough to create a projection of mingling - also some folks like smoking weed.
Gemikai is always smoking and talking with randoms. He might even heal something if he's in the mood, but that's also just Gemikai regardless. The camera starts to change the scene - Gemikai checking his phone sitting on a couch with intent on picking a ride. The idea of just using his flight technique to arrive felt way too flashy considering the need to stay low key. So "work friends" option was going to have to do. The camera slowly moves around this big ass house the young man lives in. USD perks. Or a perk worthy of his own strength. Insane. The camera spins back to Gem when footwork was heard, and the man appeared in front of his rather large closet. Nowhere near enough clothes but the man was still in complete ponder mode. The hesitation didn't last - young Gemikai started turning his seat on like a real man should. Gemikai put the professional/casual mix outfit on in full Green. Capital G for green because it was so green it could give you lantern powers by just staring at it. The brown eyes fixed on the mirror in front of him, took Gemikai to his many moments before a party.
Gemikai started his wait for his ride with phone scrolling. Gem did insist on just driving to the car with them, but the unnamed friend insisted on picking him up. Gemikai knew it was down to flare or egotistical instinct. A honk of a horn was heard from inside out of the mansion. What a way to let a homie know he's outside right? Gemikai chuckles as he locks his own door, activate the security system and get in the car. The narrator doesn't show or introduce the driver because it wasn't a very important friend to Gem. This particular guy, like a great deal of USD co workers who like him - are just trying to use his presence for clout. The floating car took off leaving the huge building Gem lives in, in the dust of the past. The drive Gemikai had to experience to get to this party? Like a public transportation bus with a driver who won't shut up. It was cool though, Gemikai learned the art of small to large talk. But sometimes all he had to do was let the human type talk. About his day, about the job, about the elections - the bowl of subjects the land walkers speak about highly. The car began to slowly descend as the arrival of the party makes it's proper fruit. The metal creation graves the front of the building with a coordinated stance before opening its doors. Gemikai didn't hesitate to quickly jump out - but what he wasn't expecting was paparazzi.
Flashing Lights.
Everywhere. Gemikai LITTERALLY avoided fly for this very reason. Gem assumed homie told some folks they were pulling up, and when it's Gemikai word spread. Gemikai gave the driver a look, which was given back with a side of guilt eyes. People started to move towards Gemikai with haste - Gem jumped forward with enough pressure to cut through the people. This made a solid Moses part the sea move casted by Gemikai as he landed right in front of security - and of course the front door. Gemikai in slow motion but quick speed was able to get right past them. Amazing. To the humans. Gemikai nod to security and he enters the building as the crowd of paparazzi attempts to chase him in until the door is closed behind him. Security was not going to let them inside, so Gem was safe from outside picture takers. The relief caused him to let out a sigh to himself - but when the brown eyes opened to the hallway before him it was clear the spotlight was on him. The music was loud but even the hallway had folks looking and talking. Gemikai began his slow walk, waving at whoever waved first, flashing a few smiles, and finding a place to be for the first part of the party. Gem was usually cool with parties if he could sneak in unbothered and be just an anybody kind of guy. But it was a lot of military officials in here who's seen Gemikai in action.
It was yet another miscalculation on Gems part in thinking he could just sneak in a popular party such as this. Gemi pushed his walk full speed once his motion was moving gracefully towards a bar. The brown eyed demon spot and acquired a seat with fast movement. Not fast enough to cause a scene but fast enough to get a seat. Almost felt bad for whoever thought they were getting a seat but oh well. The bar was a somewhat safe spot because a chair is the perfect item to get a better look at the scene. Where the music was coming from, the security detail, cameras, higher power levels, look of intent, food, cops, regular military, off duty cops, lawyers, government officials, and a few dance floors. The stage to the right of the main hall was being prepared for a few announcements - it was all the commotion. Another scan of the full first floor was done, and it indicated the building was filling up in capacity. Lucky Gem caught a seat - because in no time since getting a chair not long the floor started to get crowded. About this time a deep sigh was released from the lips of our favorite bald man. The camera watches as the bartender slide over to Gem with curiosity and interest. A tall ordinary human looking guy with neck tattoos. It was surprising to see a guy like that in such an establishment, because Gemikai knew these random conservative types usually don't like 'flavor' such as neck tattoos. Fortunately for Gemikai - his reputation was greatly in his favor as the man went to approach. It seemed business like but anyone can tell the bartender was a damn fan.
Bartender: "You're Gemikai right? You lead the USD and on the news! It's really nice to meet you. I'm a major fan you really "
Gemikai: "lead the USD?? That's insane. Who told you that! I mean yes it's me but lead the USD? Crazy right?"
The bartender got extremely excited at the honesty on Gemikai's face. A talk with a bartender was currently way more interesting than a few hotties staring down Gems pants. The bartender tells Gemikai to hold on as the man presenting drink slinger started going through his own personal cellphone. Gemikai didn't even ask for anything yet but was waiting vigilantly for whatever the bartender had to show. The camera shifts to the two investigating the bartenders phone. Hell The Bartender trusted him enough to tell Gemikai to hold it while he worked. The camera gets closer to the dashing looking man's facial expression - it expressed facial energy of being surprised. People from around the world making videos of Gemikai's on duty behavior - many marked it as the real leadership. Blogs, videos, and so much social media memes - some of this stuff Gemikai seen and probably laughed at as his thumbs kept scrolling. But right as of this moment - it felt like he was listening to the people. Seeing it on someone else's phone gave Gem a strong prospective.
Gemikai:
"Wow. A lot of people think my power makes me qualified for leading the USD. I try to keep a low profile but people got so many good shots & angles. I'm so young though, besides, that position doesn't look appealing from where I stand. I haven't been on this job for even a year. But the confidence people have in me ..."
Bartender:
"Mister Gemikai we have seen what you can do and HOW you do it. The difference between you and other USD members? You seem built for it. You didn't join USD - you might be saving it. You are a bit of a mystery but for the most part if I can speak for most of the people on social media - you are wanted and needed. We don't trust the USD but we would if you were one of the leaders. Someone for the people, ya know?"
The feel of the air - festive. Gemikai returned the phone back to the nice person behind the smooth looking bar. It was at this point Gemikai finally ordered a regular coke for refreshment purposes. Gemikai's mind went back to trying to remember he was currently at a party for professionals sake. It was a real military slash cop shindig - Gemikai came because he was told to, and some parties may not be the worse if you can swing it properly. Gem had no reason to move from his drink even if he sees a few people he could talk to in the room. Gemikai was thinking hard about the reel videos of the assessments of his character. YouTube stuff. The potential for greater. His mind went back to training, Gemikai remembered some of the prime thoughts during his session with the training bot. What was Gemikai fighting for? What's life if not just to protect, but to live? Gemikai was sipping his coke as the announcements of unimportant to Gemikai began to start - playing as just a background for Gems thought process. The party was cool but not as lit as the moment Gemikai really felt like he could want something - something to fight for. Motivation. The camera begins to fade from the picture of Gemikai sitting in a suit at a party - the coke in his hand looks nice. The best part about this ending was his smile - you could tell something was just beginning. Something incredible.
