You find yourself in the back of Crossfire's vehicle, staring out the window at the road as it passes behind you. You glance down at the pistol in your hand, and its weight feels completely foreign to you. You never fired one of these before, after all, let alone handled one. You frown, but glance up and see Roslyn looking at you. When she notices it, you see her blush and quickly break away from your gaze, instead focusing on the window. Miyuki sits next to you, visibly calm. You aren't sure if she really is as calm as she appears, or if maybe she is just putting on a mask for everyone else's sake.

Tadashi is sitting in the passenger seat, eyes completely closed. He seems calm as well, but you attribute that to his pre-existing experience. Crossfire... is hard to read. He seems completely indifferent to everything, instead opting to focus on his driving. You glance back out the window and start to feel a bit jittery. Will things work out the way you intend, or will they just fall apart under pressure? The latter is unthinkable at this stage; you've already given the orders, so to speak, and everyone fell into their roles. That means they're depending on you for direction.

File: 1348448537951.png-(265 KB, 342x369, miyuki_18.png)

It feels like you were traveling for only a few seconds before Crossfire pulls the car over to a side road. "We're getting closer," he says. "I'm going to pull off to the side of the road in a few, so get yourselves prepared." You nod to yourself and try to calm the inner turmoil tearing through your mind. You're mildly successful, much to your surprise, and you steel yourself for the chaos to unfold.

You climb out of the vehicle and glance around, and in the distance, you can make out the faint outline of a building. The garage/warehouse. It's getting dark, so by the time you arrive, you should be relatively concealed by darkness. You see Crossfire shoulder his bullpup and nod to you. You head out toward the building, moving slowly so that everyone stays together and no one accidentally alerts the guards out on patrol.

After about twenty minutes of walking, you're within striking distance. You motion for everyone to group up and you outline the plan once more. Cross, Tadashi, and Miyuki will attack from the South, using knives and such to remove a pair of guards. You and Roslyn will attack from the West and enter from the garage door the van entered through and look for Chiyo.

Roslyn seems tense, and Miyuki looks almost worried.

"Any last questions or suggestions?" you ask. "Because this is the point of no return."

"I think we're good," Tadashi says. "We've got our plans, our gear, and we all know what's going on."

Roslyn nods. "I'm ready to go." Miyuki nods as well, and you take a breath.

"Let's roll." You move out to the West side of the building while Tadashi, Crossfire, and Miyuki continue past you and head to the South side. Miyuki gives you a quick thumbs up before she and the two guys vanish into the darkness. You're crouched down, glancing over at Roslyn, whose grip seems a bit tight on her pistol. She said she was ready, but you're not entirely sure if she is or not.

"Hang in there," you say, putting a reassuring hand on Roslyn's shoulder. "We'll get through this."

She looks up at you with worry in her eyes, but she nods. "I know." She blushes and glances away, and as you turn to continue scouting the area, you feel a shift, and then you feel Roslyn's lips on your cheek. When she pulls away, she goes completely red in the face. You smile to yourself, but spare her the embarassment of paying attention to her.

A few moments go by, and you glance over to the South side of the building. Two guards making their rounds drop to the ground, and they're quickly pulled out of sight. "Time to move." You grip your knife tightly and make your way to the garage door, Roslyn right next to you. You can feel your heart pounding in your chest, the blood pounding in your ears, as you near the edge of the building. When you finally get there, you duck into shadows cast by the light and hold your breath as a pair of guards move past the two of you, completely unaware of your presence.

When they pass completely by, you turn to Roslyn, nod, and move to the door. It's unlocked, and you quickly grab hold of the door and pull it up -- slowly. It's quiet, which means it's been well oiled. You silently thank whoever keeps up maintenance on the building, and Roslyn gets on the ground and glances around underneath the building.

"All clear?" you ask.

"Yeah, we're good. I see the van, too."

"Alright, head in and then hold this bastard up so I can slip in." Roslyn rolls under and does as you instruct, and you roll under as well. The two of you then slowly set the door down quietly, as to prevent unwanted attention. You make your way to the van and open the door, your knife ready in your hand. You quickly open the door, ready to pounce, but there's nothing in there. Completely empty. "Shit," you mutter. You glance back around and see two doors, one on the North and one on the South side of the spacious garage. It's a bit of a gamble to go either way, unfortunately, since you aren't entirely certain which way would be best. You know the team outside will slowly start neutralizing the patrols on the outside, but that still leaves you susceptible to whatever lies in wait inside. From what you recall, the foyer was on the southeastern side of the building, so there's that to consider as well.

"What should we do, Anon-kun?" Roslyn asks.

"Let's head South. It'll give us a second option if we need to get out of there quickly, what with the foyer entrance being there." Roslyn nods, agreeing with your logic, and the two of you make your way down in to the southern end of the building. The hallway you find yourself in is dotted with doors, unfortunately, which means your search just increased exponentially, assuming you get into some sort of fight behind every wrong door. At the end of the hallway, it opens into the foyer, which from your position appears to be devoid of activity. At the very least, it means you're presence is concealed for a bit longer. The multiple doors, however, are a bit of an issue. Before you can say anything, though, Roslyn starts opening a door immediately to your left.

"Empty," she says with a frown. "I guess this is going to be difficult."

"Don't be so rash. Let's take this a step at a time. We're behind enemy lines, so to speak, so every choice we make has potential danger." You swap your knife for your gun, your hand taking a tight grip. "One of us opens the next door, the other covers it with their gun. Got it?" She nods, and the two of you make it to the next door. She opens it, steps back, and you round the corner, gun held how Crossfire told you. Empty, save for cleaning materials. "Of course," you say sourly. You move to the next one, and the process repeats. This time, you see one guy, sitting at what appears to be a security console. You're about to pull the trigger, but he's asleep.

"What is it?" Roslyn asks quietly. She peeks in, and freezes for a moment.

You creep up to the sleeping guard, drawing your knife in place of your gun. It's quieter, after all. You crawl up behind the man, knife in hand, and you take a deep breath. You know what you have to do, and you really don't want to... but it's for Chiyo. You drive the knife into the sleeping man's neck and pull the blade sideways, spraying blood ahead of you. He starts to choke and gurgle as blood fills his windpipe, and you close your eyes in disgust. When he finally stops struggling, he slumps to the side, dead, blood still pooling on the ground from the wound. Surprisingly, no blood landed on you the entire time. You take a breath before cleaning the blade on his clothes, and then you start searching his body.

"What are you doing?" Roslyn asks, her voice colored with confusion and distaste.

"Looking for something..." You nod when you, to your surprise, find dog tags around the guy's neck. You pull them free and stand up, examining them.

"What the hell!?"

"My video games taught me I should do this after each kill," you say, trying to make light of the situation, mainly for your own benefit. Roslyn just shakes her head, and you sigh.

You decide to check the room for anything else. Aside from the corpse, there's really only the security console, and considering you already checked the dead body over, you move to the console. Glancing at it, you realize it's a security camera feed. "Oh shit," you mutter.

"What is it?" Roslyn asks.

"They've had eyes on the entire building this whole time," you breathe. "I don't know how we managed to get in without this guy seeing us."

"Eh?" Roslyn steps over and sees what you're talking about. "Wow... I wonder if they have feeds inside the building?"

"Let me check." You start typing on the keyboard, thankful that everything is still in working order despite being drenched in blood. After hitting a few things, you start cycling through the different feeds. Outside on all entrances, inside the garage, the foyer... And a room with Chiyo sitting in a chair. There's no audio, but you see she's talking to a man in silver hair... "Ramius," you growl.

"Where is he?" Roslyn asks.

You examine the feed name. "North side, Safe Room." You frown.

"Should we head up there?" Roslyn asks.

"Maybe... But I haven't seen Tempest on any of the feeds," you say quietly. "You'd think she'd be there, somewhere." You flick through a few more feeds, but still nothing. You hear thunder rumble in the sky, and you frown. "...Might she be on the roof?" you wonder.

"Maybe," she says thoughtfully. You flick back to the room with Chiyo,and you see two guards moving into the field of view. Ramius turns and walks out of the room and then closes the door. You use the camera feeds to follow Ramius, who disappears near a stairwell. "You might be on to something with the roof idea, Anon-kun," Roslyn says. You flick back to some of the outside feeds and you see Tadashi, Miyuki, and Crossfire moving up toward the building's South entrance. You flick to the East and West side cameras and you freeze. There's a group of four heading their way from the west.

"Shit!" There's no way for you to contact the three of them, and you watch in horror as the group rounds the corner and opens fire. Both groups exchange gunfire, and one of the patrolmen break from his group and moves to the building.

[ ] Let's go!

"Let's go," you say hurriedly. "We need to stop that guy before he raises the alarm!" You rush out of the room, knife in one hand, gun in the other. Roslyn's right behind you.

"I'm sure they know about the gunfire," Roslyn says, catching up to you.

"Maybe, but still..." You break through the garage and you see a girl with medium length silver hair standing there, hands on her hips, and a sly smile on her face. "Fuck."

"So you must be Anon-kun," she says in a sultry voice. "I expected someone taller." You see lightning crackling from the fingertips on her left hand, and you frown. "Oh, don't mind me," she says. "I get that way when I'm excited." She starts moving toward you, and you and Roslyn are forced to back up into the garage, unsure of what might happen if you stray too close to the mystery woman. "Are you afraid of me?" she asks, genuine surprise coloring her voice. "That's sweet."

"Anon-kun," Roslyn says to you under her breath, "I'm going to follow through with the plan and lure her away. You take care of Chiyo while I do that."

"But..."

"No buts!" she exclaims. "That was your plan if it came to this. It isn't Ramius, but it's potentially just as bad, so go!" As soon as Roslyn says that, she produces her knife in one hand and her pistol in the other, and she immediately rushes Tempest. Tempest quickly intercepts her and soon you see a fight for survival unfold before your eyes. You move and start running, not stopping for anything.

File: 1348467127459.jpg-(60 KB, 500x300, chiyo__6.jpg)

Roslyn's words echo in your ears, and you don't even notice the amount of distance you've covered. You can't help but notice your eyes unfocus and then refocus, and suddenly you are aware of your surroundings again. Despite that, you don't stop moving.

You feel the gun weigh heavily in your hands as your feet slap against the ground as you move down the long corridor of the north side of the warehouse. The flourescent lights flicker as your rapid footsteps echo down the concrete hallway, and for a split second, you see two figures up ahead in full body armor. Your grip on the pistol tightens and as you raise it up to take aim, there's a blur of motion between the two of them, which settles on the ground between them. The motion stops and kneeling there is... Chiyo? "Anon-kun! There you are!" she exclaims. She stands up and rushes toward you, and you notice the heads of both men drop to the ground, their bodies slumping immediately after. "They let their guard down in the room they had me tied up in and I managed to sneak away when they heard the commotion. We need to get out of here!"

"The others? Who else did you bring?"

"Roslyn, Miyuki, Tadashi, and a friend" you respond, your blood pounding in your ears. You calm down for a split second, though, and start wondering about the circumstances. "...What happened when we were younger?" You suddenly feel paranoid and want to confirm who she is.

"If you're referring to the accident in the gym when we were younger," she says, "You pulled me out of the wreckage." She stops and turns to you, and a strange glint sits in her eyes. "Anon-kun," she says slowly, "About the others..."

"What about them?"

"Don't you think they can take care of themselves?"

"Well, of course, but--"

"Then do you think we need to help them? You brought Tadashi along as well. That's something you would do in an event like this -- get someone with experience involved. I'm sure he's with them right now, and the three, well, four of them are just waiting on us." She nods, as if reassuring herself. "And if that's the case, we need to stop dilly-dallying and get a move on. If something happened to you, I don't know what I would do." You catch a glimpse of her eyes unfocusing as she says that, but in a matter of seconds, she looks completely normal.

She has a point, though. Crossfire and Tadashi were with Miyuki last time you say them. Roslyn said she'd lure that other girl, Tempest, outside. Then again...

You stare at her, completely flabberghasted by her question. "Really? What to you honestly expect me to say to that kind of question? You KNOW how I am; I'm not going to leave OUR friends to whatever fate may befall them." You glare at her. "I can't believe I have to even explain this to you. For fucks' sake. If you want to be that way, then go out yourself." You turn and start moving out toward the door, but she stops you.

"Anon-kun... You're right. I'm sorry." She moves up in front of you. "Come on, let me lead." Before you can say anything, you both head into the garage, and you see a hole in one of the metal doors. Before you can comment on it, you hear an explosion outside, followed by thunder so loud, your ears start to hurt. "Damn," Chiyo grunts.

"Tempest?" you wounder out loud. The quick response of gunfire is followed by more explosions, and you and Chiyo quickly leave through the door. You see Tadashi, Crossfire, and Roslyn exchanging gunfire with the silver haired girl, and Miyuki behind them focusing on something, from the looks of it. The girl has a hand up, though, and you see flames surrounding it, and explosions half-way between her and the others popping here and there. You realize she's probably causing the bullets themselves to explode in the air. Lightning is arcing in the sky, and you see the clouds moving heavily.

"Let's go," you say to her. You lead her around toward the group, and there's an explosion directly in front of you. Chiyo grabs you and pulls you back out of the way, and you feel the stubble on your face feels a bit warm. "Shit," you mutter. "Thanks, Chiyo." She just nods, and the two of you manage to regroup. "You guys okay?" you ask.

"Peachy," Crossfire says, his voice ice cold. "Reloading." You see him drop a magazine and slap one home. "My last mag. We have what we need?"

"Yeah, we've got Chiyo," you reply.

"Roger. Tadashi, on my mark, flash then smoke. Roslyn, keep supressing fire." He takes a breath to steady himself and stops firing. "Two. One. Mark." You see he and Tadashi work in unison, tossing flashbangs up over in front of Tempest. You instinctively close your eyes, and you hear the explosion as the flashbangs go off, and you hear movement as the two of them quickly follow up with two more grenades. "Move!" Crossfire starts ushering you all away from the scene, and you quickly comply.

As you're both nearing the truck, you see a man standing in your way. Silver hair. Piercing eyes. "You thought you could get away from us that easily?" he asks, his voice calm and menacing.

File: 1348474177713.jpg-(142 KB, 797x598, roslyn__2.jpg)

"Goddammit," Crossfire swears. He shoulders his rifle and immediately begings sending three-round bursts at Ramius, who instinctively shuffles to his left, avoiding the first salvo.

"Really? Really? Not even going to say hello?"

"Fuck you and your 'hellos,'" Crossfire growls. He crouches and fires again, aiming for what you think is Ramius' center of mass. He moves again, this time narrowly avoiding the bullets. "Tadashi, get the others to the car. Go."

"Come on." Tadashi quickly grabs all of you and pulls you away from the incoming fight, leaving the two rivals to cross paths yet again. You find yourself with that feeling of running for your life yet again, and the blood is pumping. When the van is in sight, you start moving faster, ready to get the hell out of Dodge.

You all pile in and Tadashi jumps into the driver seat, slamming the door. He quickly starts the truck up and instead of turning around, starts driving toward the fight. "What are you doing!?" Roslyn exclaims.

File: 1348474221613.jpg-(134 KB, 533x598, miyuki_47.jpg)

"I'm not leaving him there," Tadashi replies. "Unload on Ramius when we get close so we can pick Cross up." The ride is a bumpy one as the van goes down the worn road, but you quickly see a hand-to-hand fight going down between Crossfire and Ramius. As you get closer, you start to make out individual movements, but the overall flow and speed of their attacks are outrageous. "Roslyn, now." Roslyn leans out the door and starts firing, and that's when Crossfire drops to the ground and slides between Ramius' legs. As he moves, he lands a strong uppercut to Ramius' groin, dropping the man with relative ease, ultimately giving him the precious seconds to leap into the van. "Hold on."


Tadashi quickly flips the van around, which causes the door to slide closed. He hits the accelerator with enough force that the van jerks forward, sending you into the back door. Your head bounces off the door, and you cradle it quietly, unwilling to say anything about it in present company. "Thanks," Crossfire says breathlessly. "Goddamn, he's gotten better since last time."
