hmm. just armor.

...at hte moment, what have you got so far? We have some pieces of armor, but I'm intested in what you are using.

ah, but see this is a special kind of armor. it was designed on my computer in moon and then i destroyed all trace of the data existence. with this armor, one using it will be able to move fast enough where they cannot be seen and still be able to live. this armor is also close to being inpenitrable. it can turn invisable for up to an hour before it needs to be recharged. and the best part, it's as thin as skin.

...interesting...I only managed to retrieve bits of it...not enough to piece anything together...my people thought that it was a new type of toaster. Well, it obviously has weaknesses...based on the design, it cannot blank out heat. It shorts out if a wire is exposed, and it cannot hide Reiatsu, meaning that people nearby cannot see or hear you, but will still notice in the case of a strong emotion or a strong intention to kill. It cannot defend against cold weather, meaning it would become brittle in cold weather and sticky and hot in summer. Lastly, despite its thinness, the density of inner workins means that it is somewhat hard to be nimble in this suit. I can help you on those areas…but what did you come for originally?

ahh, but you see the armor is projected onto the body. that's the beauty of the entire idea. that's why there are no wires, or anything. it's a revolutionary design and if i told you the complete innerworkings then you'd have an impenetrable defense for your merchant guild.

...I cannot do that, because i would have to furnish you with a copy. We could probably be able to furnish a reasonable copy at the cost of much wasted time. Leaving you two with things such as this would be akin to leaving a swiss army knife in the hands of a jailed psychopath.

hmm, well why not?

Because I know I have some pieces of the puzzle, as do you, and both of us acna complete this puzzle, provided we can see the other’s pieces. You only used half your pieces in hits. If I put in my part, you’ll be able to complete it ahead of me—and that would not be a good thing, giving over a powerful piece of technology to a criminal.

hmm. well why not take the criminal part of the equation out? i'm proposing amnesty for all my pieces of the puzzle. and this is Amnesty for both me and Vincent.

Yes...amnesty, provided you defeat Akatsuki. *Takes out two sheets of paper* this will label you as a privateer of the Merchant’s Guild, provided you defeat Akatsuki. It is a Magus’s contract—failure to abide to the terms of the treaty will result in the sealing of ALL chakra in the user and the inability to use chakra whatsoever. Sign?

hmm. tempting. but it looks like i have no choice. *grabs pen and sighns paper* the defeat of the Akatuski will be hard. and alot of people will not like it.

Then you’ll have to risk their not liking it…I’ll furnish you with the armor. Check out what technology we have public and take some if you wish (it’s in the Snow Airfleet HQ)

The contract’s exact words

Quote :

“I, Jan Tohsaka Hakura IV, agree to ordain Vincent Valentine and Shadow Shinomori as privateers of the Merchant’s Guild. All past transgressions will be amended and counted as nil. I, Jan Tohsaka Hakura IV, will not kill or otherwise harm the aforementioned subjects. I will provide them technology to the best of their ability and assist them in any way.

I, Shadow Shinomori and Vincent Valentine, agree to completely and utterly destroy Akatsuki, regardless of cost. We will not do any intentional damage to property of the Merchant’s Guild and will not employ any means that may bring harm to Jan Tohsaka Hakrua IV.

Sincerely,
Jan Tohsaka Hakura
Shadow Shinomori
Vincent Valentine”
