TANABATA

Episode 1 More than meets the eye(Part 2)

There was one officer, bogus of his state, so would be anyone if it were to put it in his shoes.

'Damn, why did this have to be turned out like this, I still remember the bad old days, and the good old days. ' saying he went down into his past, as shades of black background surrounded him with envious visions from the back of his time.

'Commando, it's been too long for your badges' said a person who had a overly toned body, and a badass physique, his strength was overwhelming, but he had a sorry face, while facing his Training Unit, as he delayed there graduation progress. The Assembly was ended where the Bogus Officer, was young and delusional, he had a brown lining over his black grey hairs and a pair of black pupils, which were continuously constricting due to the intense sunshine.

'Hey, Shito.' Said a trainee. Who was his friend and a comrade.

'what's up Kabuki' asked Shito

'So, what's going on your mind' asked Kabuki

'Nothing special, just a little coffee might do good' said Shito

'Damn, you always been drinking that bottle gourd, I puked when I tasted it without sugar.' Said Kabuki

'Then let me get this straight for you, I am joining, the Federalists' said Shito.

'FE...DE...RA...LI...STS?? Are you seriously not bragging up.' Asked Kabuki.

'No, I'm not, besides I never told even the head about this.' Said Shito.

Shito was happy, as his life would turn into something better and brighter, but his dreams were easily crushed, as some say that the dreams are only for those, who are destined to dream so. But in Shito's case it was bitterly crushed. His interview were rejected thrice, by the Federalist's Department as he had good pairs of transcripts, and also a tough physique to begin with, but was detained due to less self-motivation, the reason was still yet unknown for him.

He stood infront of the entrance of the building, as he stared it harder until his eyeballs popped out.

'This wasn't supposed to be like this, Shits always hats over my cursed fate, Damn you, I'll be more sophisticated in other branches or other stations then I could ever be, I don't need to work with dorks like you, who would suck out expenses from government, Damn...

It is always like this, nothing has changed this cursed fate, is still wacked up like nothing else,'

Suddednly, after another explosion with grenades, he wakes up with a shock, and watches another officer with his arms bleeding, on the left of his wounded shoulder was shot by a bullet, he gazed over Shito for a bit, and asked him whether he was okay.

'Shito, this isn't time to rest, we've got some hostages out there.' Said the officer.

'Siushi- sensei?' said Shito.

Siushi grabbed unto Shito's arms, until he crouched and led the two of them to a safe place where, the enemy wasn't having a complete axis.

'Siushi, where is Kazu and Kirishima?' asked Shito.

'They both were in the next building, or otherwise might be dead, but we have to get outta here as soon as possible. 'Warned Siushi.

'But?? What about the mission, if we abandoned it, then it'll be over.' Said Shito.

'The backup unit is proceeding, they have a clear shot, and anyways we should get outta here. ' said Siushi.

'Looks like there is no time to waste then.' Said Shito. And both of them started forging forward with their greasy assault rifles, yet they were determined to stay alive, rather than wasting their lives by the hands of enemy grenades.

'What's the co-ordinate?? ' asked Shito.

'its 45 543' N and 89 67'E' answered Siushi.

'Only few yards to go, I guess it would be at the top of entrance of this building.' Said Shito.

'You might be reaffirming, but there are a few good number of enemies out there.' Said Siushi.

'Which means....' Said Shito.

'Which means death is flabbergast.' Said Siushi.

Both of them loaded their rifles with the extra ammunition which they collected from the dead enemies and their dead comrades.

'Here take it.' Said Siushi.

'But you might need it and besides I have plenty. ' said Shito.

'Here, don't make me say twice, if anything happens to me...in case ' said Siushi.

Both of them opened the frontal door where enemies surrounded them with artilleries and various Ump9s and other grenade launchers a specific tackle ammunition unit, and the fire unit which they had at their upper hand. Shito quickly uses his 3 smoke screen bombs which made the enemies lose sight of their presence and started launching an enemy fire at the smoke's mirage. But as a quick runner ups, both of them escaped without leaving any trail behind.

And opened the entrance of the other building, as they were in myth that Kazu and Kirishima, were fine and had to search for them, before a tragedy might take place.

'Here, now be a little more sneaky. ' said Shito to himself.

'Shito are you alright' asked Siushi.

'Yep boss.' Said Shito.

They armed their rifles and blasted off the entrance and hiding at the covers in the shadows or support pillars or by using the edge of the walls, they somehow brought down a few enemies.

'I guess it's stucked... ' said Siushi.

'Melee might be a good sneak attack, I'll hold my fire you guard my arse, Siushi-san 'said Shito.

With their Melee combination they managed to move ahead, by no other means of special attacks their physical ability was enough to break some wacky necks and spines which made normal ones chilled out.

They both finally climbed up to the dense of dense hidden in the dark, the office of Zakura as the ply board had it inscribed over it...

'This is it' asked Shito.

'I thought they would have made it over to the building, through which we entered, looks like we're lucky enough to make it up until here.' Said Siushi.

'The only thing now left...' said Shito.

'Is to find those two idiots ' Siushi and Shito blasted the door way with their medium sized satchels, and with the burst, they saw a man sitting, with lights out only the candle burned to lighten the whole empty room, it had a wood furniture specially designed for keeping drink glasses of different forms red, transparent, orange and blue were the ones which were shaped in different colours, the floor was covered by a green mat and a billiards table where two men, a baldy and brute and other was shady and thin, both of them had wore an expensive tuxedo, as they had their shirts folded while playing the game.

'Welcome, Shito Nakamura and Siushi Komura, it's nice to meet the Tokyo's crime branch or the Federalists from Tokyo unit, sending two of their skilled officer, in action to grab our butts. Ah I'm sorry was it funny???

Anyways if you're here then you can be worthy of being referred to as GUEST. ' said the guy who was first spotted by the two, wearing a black plain tuxedo, and was reading a book, seemed like nothing was concerning for him, the only thing which the Tokyo branch hated about him.

'I guess, it's time you should surrender yourself,' Elijah Sensei' said Siushi.

'My bad, ah(cough) I was just concerned about you two, you basically have guns pointed at you're back, anyways we'll make it more funny, if you insist. ' said Elijah.

A handful of another two guards immobilised their weapons from a behind attack. And they found themselves, tied up on a steel chair, as they were restricted by their hands and legs movement.

'Siushi, how does it feel to walk right into a trap which can end your life?' asked Elijah.

'You can still be the same person as you were before' demanded Siushi.

Hearing this Elijah laughed hard, until he pulled out the guard's pistol to shoot him.

'Damn, this piece of crap, I could have killed him ages ago, but killing him right now, feels nostalgic like I'm back from the past ' saying he laughed again,

'You're really fallen in a sink, Sensei...' said Siushi.

'Me??(chuckled) Look at the one, who hiding his identity for benefit, you're just like me, because I was the only one who taught you the 'ART OF DECEPTION'. Let me give some demonstration ' said Elijah.

As a diversionary deception, Elijah told his henchmen, to open the other side of the room, as it was clearly connected with the other building's entrance from the other side.

'Now way don't tell me....' Said Siushi.

'Kazu... Kirishima, what have they done to you. ' shocked Shito.

As Kazu and Kirishima, had their faces normal, but their bodies were being feed by two girls, who had a ghostly appearance, as their white gowns were purely stained red with blood, as their cannibalism grew more intense, as they tried to sense Siushi and Shito.

'What in the world is happening, who are these people ' said Shito

'Ghouls... how could you do that?' said Siushi.

'Ah, so you knew about those, I guess I didn't had it in our course.' Smiled Elijah.

'Shito close your eyes... ' ordered Siushi.

'What are you talking about Siushi-san?' asked Shito.

'Fool, just do as I say, it's my top priority for letting us alive from here.' Saying he asked Shito to close his eyes, everything became black around his background, as he felt as if he had been pulled into a deep sleep, which was empty and black as a space void.

After a while, Shito was awakened, as he didn't knew what had happened, somehow his exhaustion was released, as he was surprised on seeing the two girls who were being referred to as ghouls were dead, along with the 4 henchmen , who were acting tough in the beginning, were all brutally killed by the one who was now faintly breathing on the ground, where the hidden entrance was rubbed with blood lines, as someone tried to escape the half-lost fight, who was believed to be none other than Elijah.

'Siushi-san are you alright?' asked Shito.

An ally officer was same dressed as the other two gave a hand, as he asked them to hurry up, since they had to evacuate, but the best had took place, since they completed the mission on a half-way as Elijah had only one base, depending upon the expenditure they had pulled through Drug-Activity and other sorts of k********g.

'Shito-San the commander wants to talk to you.' Said the officer.

'Yes sir.' Said Shito and at the other side, Ricky was still in his car dialling his call over someone.

'Damn, I didn't knew how pissed she was during the interview.' Said Ricky.

'What you said you twirk... 'a voice of a girl spooked the call.

'Nothing Rose Green. I guess words are not in my jurisdiction to name you close to s**t (whispering to himself)'

'You said anything.' Asked Rose.

'Nothing Madam, it's just that, how beautifully you were dressed during your worthless interview. ' said Ricky.

'What you said again... but anyways it was hopeless, since she shut me off.' Said Rose.

'(Mumbling) I guess this should happen every day, I guess she'll make me the next head, since I am a few steps behind' smiled Ricky.

'I still have 30 years to serve my post. The only 5-badged agent. 'said Rose.

'Anyways can I get a Intel on this new mission, that you're giving me. ' asked Ricky.

'It's an S-rank, a few masked dudes are seen in a Tanforan cottage, and have kidnapped a girl named Sisika Basil, a south African tribal girl. Brown in colour, and green in eyes ' explained Rose.

'Well if it is a k********g mission, I guess the cops could handle it well... aren't they?? Besides she being racist (mumbling)' said Ricky

'IF you shut your ugly mouth up for once, Convey. Besides the spice which adds up to this case is that... the kidnappers are none other Tores. ' said Rose.

'Tores... who the hell are these bastards?' Asked Ricky.

'A secrete organisation, unknown of it's origins, but I believe it will prose a portentous threat, if not taken care with, and besides we don't have a lot of time, since it's not the only one who has it's ass grounded to earth. So make it quick.' Said Rose.

'Damn another mission Rose, can you please give me a break, I am already tired.' Begged Ricky.

Rose lost her temper and sprouted her anger seeds on Ricky, as the broadcast completely blew away her identity.

'You fool, I could have told someone else, you're the one who's pounding your ass sitting over a celeb coffee shop blowing your annual budget, and you're telling me to keep it low Ah!!!'. Shouted Rose.

A few moments later...

'Look, I am sorry, it's not nice of me to waste my words on such a man, but the matter of fact is that, Sisika is being captivated in the same city as you're in, hurry up and make it quick, if you screw up the mission?...' stated Rose.

'Then, What!!!' asked Ricky.

'You'll be dropped out of all your 5 stars and you'll be just a corporate officer receiving A rank missions in an ounce.' Replied Rose.

'That's so mean of you.' Said Ricky.

'everything is fair in love and war' she quickly disconnected the call and left Ricky thinking as he had a sadist turmoil all over his face.

'Tōresudesu ne.' saying he quickly dialled a new call, connecting with a guy called JACK

'Jack, I guess the choke's on me.' Said Ricky.

'Damn, I think the vodka was mixed with a big cohunes.' Said Jack, an American country-side speaking accent, with which he drooled over anyone's attention, he wore a brown suit and a dark skin tight jeans, with gummy boots along with, a brown leather hat and brownish deep blue hand gloves, which basically signified his looks to be more country looking along with a Mexican touch-up.

'Damn who the hell is Callin for me... Damn look at this Iguana, my son is Callin me, hey son long time no see...' answered Jack, as his toothpick was completely scrapped in his mouth while having his alcohol container near his right leg which was being laid on the table and a sniper which supported his shoulder while speaking with Ricky.

'Jack, we've got a mission...' stated Ricky.

Episode 2 : Rescue Mission.

'What sort of mission are you talking about Ricky?' asked Jack.

'A rescue mission.' replied Ricky.

'So, what.' Replied Jack he had an dull look over his face as always, he did seemed lazed enough to give orders, but couldn't take them.

'It's Tores, I don't know how, but Rose has requested me to look it out.' Replied Ricky.

His expressions clearly changed from a non-chanted lazy guy to a serious bookworm.

'Tores.?.....? um never heard of them.' Replied Jack.

'You're kidding me...right? Asked Ricky.

Jack, lowered his legs from the table and asked Iguana to get more bottles of wine and Indies soundtrack, as he was completely submerged into Country music and lifestyle, he even used to play ukulele in order to get some vibes of sitting in saw mill, while having a scare crow at our side at a Sunday morning.

'Damn, Kid leaves me no choice.' Jack quickly turned himself from a bullet rancher delinquent to a properly dressed Federalist, with a unique suit, being referred to as gigolo by Jack.

At the other side, Ricky was in his car playing a smooth musical track, which reduced his stress while carrying out a complicated mission. He opened up his Diary in order to stir up pages that he filled it over few months.

It Read:-

3 months ago, Suzie, John, Phil, Ricky and Evelyn it was fun, those days were caressing, nothing new, felt good as if I had someone I can call as family, I'll be more happy if those four written back from the mission, because I don't wanna tell them, how much I miss you

- yours Ricky Convey

'Damn. I should stop reminiscing things like this, anyways on page 13..., yeah here it is' read Convey.

It Read:

There's nothing new until now, but it was strange since something had happened, a black mask with creepy designs were spotted raging out from and shined as bright as red, a hellish trick for deceiving anyone, but the case remain unsolved. Some say it was just hoax, while others believe it as reality, humans of few kinds have drawn mysterious power, a theory or reality, is a big question which has no means to it's origin.

2nd Page :

I wonder what was the message that was left to me by Jasper, that guy is a mystery, looks cool, has a proper training regimen, lot of his female co-workers sticks to his arse like an iron rod to a magnet, good at hear, and loyal to nation. In my life time, after Jack Green no one has inspired me so much. I guess I still have a long way to go until I become a commander like Rose.

Reading, a part which helped him deal with crucial missions, although he lost his friends, a while ago, yet he doesn't fret over the world, he looked through a loop circle hanging at the rear glass, thought as if something was behind him, it was nothing more, but fatigue which made him imagine things.

Ricky gets a call from Jack, since he was finally able to make a contact, 12 minutes were passed, since the last chat, he was inside a black chopper which made no noise at all, it was a perfect model, which breaks the laws of surveillances, it also had an unique ability to blend within the environment, staying hidden over a distance, a perfect spooking machinery.

'So, you finally came Jack!!' asked Ricky.

Jack was busy cleaning his rifle, since he had his alcohol spilt over excitement.

'Yeah are things just pretty, wet here? I guess you won't mind me for few seconds, to clean this mess up. ' continued his incessant country side accent.

'Look, it's about your niece, she's the one who assigned me this mission at first place.' Replied Ricky. Jack commended not to bother with it.

'Don't worry kid, she's been always like that, I guess we should leave her alone.' Replied Jack. Another Chopper was detected on Ricky's hologram screen, but a blue one with the same features as that of Jack's Chopper.

'Anyways, Jack Green and Andy Jolt, I've recommended you two, because of your unique sniping combat abilities. Anyways Andy this is Jack, Jack was once my superior once, but felt a victim, to uncontrolled drinking habits, and ended up screwing his position, more likely he's a father to me.' Introduced Ricky.

'Drake, you've got a very wrong habit of making fun of me in front of new officers.' Said Jack.

'No way he's Jack, the expert of the sniping chopper hover' exclaimed Andy.

'Yeah, he basically has a best Range ability of shooting bulls eye at a distance of 3.2 miles, with a special rifle only made for him, 'Eagle Eye', is what it's known. Anyways he could be understood later, after we complete this mission smoothly! ' exclaimed Ricky.

'Yeah, boss.' Said Andy.

'This Andy Jolt, from Reaper council, ya know those off-screen murderers all in the name of Justice, they've literally got nearly 10 recruits out of 20,000 members, all with the intent to kill in order to demolish the enemy threat out of this world.' Said Ricky.

'Looks like they've been either hiring mafia or serial killers, with mental disruption, pretty much, the American federalists are sprayed over blood. ' said Jack.

'Let's leave it be, Andy here is an expert, to shoot, a target even when a hidden bird, moves randomly, he's been secretly awarded with the best sniper controller, than ya JACK!!!' said Ricky.

'Ah... I'm not burning at all, don't mark me.' Said Jack.

'I guess this is it for introduction then let's begin with our plan. Nothing to thing about out loud, it's pretty simple if taken into account properly. Firstly, Tanforan Cottage consists a lot of houses, few of the spies who infiltrated for operation Rescue were killed, hidden camera were able to locate the dead bodies near 220 and 214 Dolores Streets of San Francisco here.' Said Ricky.

'The enemy might have moved ahead,' suggested Andy.

'Nope you're kinda wrong here, they haven't had made any move until now, it's silly though, but I exactly don't know who Torres are at first place, but surely it's a heavy trend.' Said Ricky.

'Let's look over the same place.' Said Jack.

'Nope we split, Jack will be away at a large mile, make it upto 1.1 mile, details say that there are quite few snipers with marksmen rifles, and at the top the other with grenade launcher of 8th gen, a perfect projectile deifier, has a perfect Infra visibility, things can be only in our favour if we're extra cautious here, and most importantly no corpse. That's what she say.' Said Ricky.

'Yes sir leave it to us two while you take the ground.' Said Andy, cleaning his hands, before the start of the mission.

'Alright, let's do this.' Said Ricky. Hidden as they were, Ricky quickly hid his car by changing its colour to complete blend transparency. And set forward to move up against the hills. With a Steady mind, and clear thoughts, he made his way through the tunnels of streets, as the G.P.S tracked he was still 4 miles away from his destination. His rear mirror was screwed up again, this time it wasn't just an hallucination, but it felt like a reality to him, a strange object floating caught his attention.

He tried to take a look through his rear mirror, to try and find out, he couldn't believe what he saw just now as the same black shadow, appeared at the back, picking and placing the object, it had no eyes, but an openly visible mouth while rest was just dust and smoke. And smiled at Ricky, as he looked at him.

'What the hell was that, damn it disappeared, let just forget what had happened. ' said Ricky.

Forgetting the event that had took place, he concentrates on his mission than that of catching himself off guard. He didn't lose his cool and made it all way through the district entry, an underground highway. He was invisible to the enemy, which made their chances probable to sneak inside for the a*******n.

'Now here it is the moment of surprise. Check your boxes under.' Asked Ricky.

'No way has the N-I-M sniper, a rare model only to be used by 5 stars or higher, cost nearly every 30,000 dollars. Can't believe I'm holding one.' Said Andy.

'You're absolutely right, besides the mechanism is simpler in terms, it has a regular recoil that you guys use in your normal rifle, but the most effect part comes here. You can change or manipulate the speed of the bullet once fired, those hand gloves, helps you to remote control the bullet, and you can change its projectile. But remember, nothing beats gravity, so be careful!! ' exclaimed Ricky.

'Damn, is it my birthday gift?' asked Jack.

'Boys, let's show them who's got big cohunes.' Said Ricky.

'Hey... Damn kids always ignore their elders these days.' Said Jack.

Ricky, as planned takes down the ground although he didn't have a suit which basically blends a person within the environment, yet his skills were alone to take them down. The sneak plan was launched where Jack kept up with him, while covering him through sky.

While Andy assured that the Marksman was taken care of. Ricky quickly moved it to the next step where he grappled upon the henchmen, to give them more details of a dense surveillance. But everytime....
