章 34: The Western Approach
As the Southern army is being trained by some Prohorovkan rebels. The West planned on helping them by infiltrating the Prohorovkan base and do scouting. Their plan is to make a fake alliance with them and set up a meeting within their base. During the talk, one has to make an excuse and leave. Then start exploring the base. Once done, the units should come back and report to the President. Though, it is a risky job. The president of all Western countries will never order an official soldier to go and face the Prohorovkans directly. Instead, they asked the low-life criminals to go after them in exchange for their freedom. A notorious gang and a company of pirates were the last to be the bravest to accept the offer.
"Are you sure about the pirates? They don't seem to be serious about this and our exposure might be at risk!" The secretary with a long brown ponytail asked the President. The governors of the countries have been gathered by the president for a meeting. They sat before a long table on a large white room lit by the big lamps on the roof. The president was on the other end with his secretary. "Who gives a damn? We can still make our way in case that happens" A retired bald Commander with a long scar on his cheek, Governor of the Glorian State, angrily said. "The enemies have the most modern technology according to the Southern countries! They have reported enormous explosions, guns, flying vehicles and many more! We can't let a single mistake happen!" A man on his prime with glasses, Governor of the Harmony State, angrily went against the commander. "Indeed. He is right, Mr. Brian. One mistake and those guys are all over us. We should avoid any mistake and use the full advantage of their war with the South. We will work from the shadows and rise up to the light when the time is right!" The president slams his fist on the table. "I also heard that the North is also helping them. However, the East is quiet" The secretary said. "That Gentaro guy will surely call the Eastern countries too" A woman with a short blonde hair, Governor of the Valkyrie State. "Huh?! The world against one Organization?!" The young girl with long orange hair who looked like the Blonde girl's secretary shouted. "Ah! You and your high pitched voice! Why are you even here?!" The Glorian governor shouted. The girl hid behind the blonde woman. "Egghead!" She shouted. "Tch..." He sighed.
"Well? Any words from the other governors?" The president asked but the other governors were quiet. "Any objection about our deal with the enemies?" He asked and no one answered. "Any objection about the criminals in charge of the deal?" He asked and no one answered. "How about you, Mary?" He asked his secretary. "I have no words against it, sir" She shook her head. "This is the final call. Who is against this plan?" He faced the governors, no one answered. "Then that's the end of our meeting. You are all dismissed!" With his command, all of the governors stood up at the same time and faced the president and saluted before leaving the room. "You know what to do. Call the VRF Pirates and the HF gang and prepare them to go to the South" He commanded his secretary and she nodded.
On a small part of the little town St. Joseph of the Glorian state, a huge pirate ship is illegally parked on their little port."The prez has somethin' with us! So fuck off, will ya?" A pirate was arguing with a worker from the port. "One of our ships is waiting!" The worker shouted. "Who gives a shit?! It ain't our damn fault! Hey, boss! This bitch is noisy!" The pirate called ahead, the worker looked back. A woman with long messy blonde hair wearing a big brown coat and an eyepatch approached him. "I told him 'bout the prez but he won't give a shit!" The pirate shouted. The woman stared at the man. "...Are you deaf?" She said as she flicked his right ear, making the pirate laugh. "This handsome guy told you that we have something to do with the president, did he?" She walked closer towards the man. Their height difference made the man anxious. "Leave him alone, Anne" A girl with long black hair wearing a black cape approached them. "Huh?!" Anne looked behind and saw her partner. Black hair but the bits of the hair in the middle of her bangs are white. Eyes are black, small face. Smaller height. She was wearing the same black eyepatch which Anne thinks is cute. "Leave him alone?! This guy is harassing our men! Why would I leave him alone?!" Anne shouted. "I-I was just-" "What?!" Anne faced the man. "The secretary will be here any minute now! Don't-" "The secretary will be here in any minute now" Anne mocks her low angry voice. "Why don't you get some balls, huh? Chris? Get some implants and hopefully, it will make you a bit tougher, eh?" With that, Anne faced the man. "And you, you little shitbrains. How about you fuck off and let us be, huh? You know what, who told you to mess with us?!" She asked, and in fear, the man answered her. "Manager, huh?" Anne looked around. "Hey, Manager! Show yourself!" She shouted and walked ahead. "Anne?! Where are you going?!" Chris asked without following her. "Gonna find this dick and teach him some manners..." Anne said as she approaches some workers. "Where's your fucking manager?!" She grabbed one of the workers by his collar. "H-He's-!" "Is there any problem?" Anne and the workers looked to their right, at the man who came out of a blue container. He looked very bossy. "Ohoho! Big guy!" Anne let go of the man and laughed. "Oooh... Big, big guy... I'm scared" She whispered as she slowly approaches the manager. "You pirates are blocking our ships and delaying the delivery!" The manager said with his chest out. "Well, as we said..." Anne spoke in a soft voice. "Like I said..." Then she quickly punched his guts, making him drop on his knees. The workers quickly came to his side. "Anne!" Chris shouted from the distance. "We have something to do with the damn president!" Anne yelled at his face. "In which part of that sentence don't you fucking get?!" She added. "My god! Anne! Stop hurting people!" Chris came running. Anne looked at her. "Imagine this, Chris?! The news about us working with the president is, like, fucking nationwide news but this big fuck still doesn't get it!" She shouted at Chris. "You could have sailed and park at the empty shore just next to this port!" "And make us walk here?! Fuck you!" Anne shouted at the manager. "Anne! They had enough! They already got your point, now let's go!" Chris shouted. Anne sighed and walk a feet back. "That's right. Let's go" Chris smiled and about to turn away. "You better remember this" Anne loudly pulled out her sword and placed the tip of the blade at the manager's forehead. "For fuck's sake, Anne!" Chris panicked. "I would have cut you open if I'm really having a bad day. So I'd be careful next time if I were you" Anne threatened the manager. He couldn't move an inch. Chris walked between them and took the sword from Anne and raised it up. "They already got the message, alright Anne?" Chris asked. "...Fine. I get it..." Anne sighed. "Good" Chris nodded and pointed the sword at Anne's sheath. She inserted the sword back as she walks past Anne. "Let's go, the secretary will be here in any seconds now" Chris said as she stops to look at Anne. "Alright..." Anne answered and walked away with Chris. "You better remember!" Anne looked back to shout. Chris slaps her face forward. "Ow! Why?" Anne gave a sad look. "You're really getting noisy" Chris sighed.
In a distance, they saw a person in a suit talking with the pirates. "Look. The president's dog is already here" Chris said. "Yeah. I know this guy. But I thought it was the chick? The secretary?" Anne stared at the man. As they approach, the man in the suit noticed them. "Hey, boss! Dogs of the president's here!" The pirate he was talking to shouted and walked away. "Heeey! Mikhail! What are you doing, whoring yourself to our men? Tired of eating the government's dicks?" Anne insulted the man, making the pirates around laugh. Chris on the other side sighed at her antics. "It's Michael, you dipshit. The president had the final call" Michael said. "Final call of surrender?" "Final call of the DEAL. You pirates, along with the Hell's Fury gang, are confirmed to meet up with the Prohorovkans at the sea and sail together back to their base. The president already instructed you what to do next, right?" Michael asked. "Yes" "I wasn't listening. Maybe repeat it all here?" Chris and Anne answered. "Anne..." Chris sighed. "Fuck you too, Annabelle. Wait for the HFs here. They are already informed that you are to meet up here" Michael said. "Well. That's my message. You pirates better come back alive" Michael walked away. "Yeah. I'm going to come back, just for your booty, baby" Anne laughed. "Oi, Mikhail! Arm wrestle with me first 'fore ya gone ahead!" A pirate shouted at him, his fellow pirates cheered. "Hah! Yeah, Arm wrestle with my buddy here! Uh..." Anne shouted and was hit by Chris' elbow. After ten minutes, Anne started acting up. "Any minute now, Anne" Chris tries to calm her down. "Any thirty minutes now, Chris! The hell are those uglies doing?!" Anne whined. "Boss, I guess that's them" A pirate pointed at the incoming multiple Harley-Davidson 42WLAs. "About time! My god!" Anne shouted. "About fucking time..." The woman with a purple mohawk hair who has been leading the group said. "Man! Y'all look so ugly!" Anne looked very disgusted as she looked at the gang. "Are you the Valkyrie Pirates?" The mohawk girl asked. Anne can't stop staring at her purplish-black lips. "A-Ah yeah. No, actually we are working here at the port" Anne said. "Hah. Funny" The mohawk girl gave her a bored look. "And I assume you are the Hell's Fury? You really looked like you just crawled up from hell" Anne laughed. "Anne..." Chris sighed. "Yo. Let's just do this" A girl with a long black hair that transitions into dark purple at the end of her hair, stood up from her bike and faced Anne. "Yo, wassup yo!" Anne points both of her finger at the girl. "I'm Riko Matsumoto. Secretary of the Hell's Fury" Riko raised her hand for a handshake.
"What a name. Are you a foreigner? Southern?" Anne asked. "I'm Half..." Riko answered. "Bullshit. You had the full name. Annabelle Ramirez. Captain of the VRF Pirates" Anne took Riko's hands and shook. "Hm... And you are?" Riko turned to Chris. "I'm Christine Turner" Chris shook hands with Riko. "The Turner family, huh" The girl with a light green hair tied in side ponytail speak up. Her eyes are also green and are sharp eyes, making her more intimidating. "Why is a Turner staying on the life of Pirates?" She asked. "It's none of your business..." Chris glared at her. "Whoa, whoa, hey, hey! Chill..." Anne walks in front of Chris. "Huh, just noticed you are all wearing the same black leather jackets. 'cept for this one" Chris looked at the green-haired girl. The girl was wearing a light yellow sleeveless shirt. Looking closely, A skull with horns symbol is printed on the left chest. "Hm... I can't watch my sec. doing all the glory" The mohawk girl turned her engine off and stood up. "I'm Alex Pratt! President of the Hell's Fury!" The mohawk girl showed her back, showing off the jawless skull, with glowing red eyes and long sharp horns. There's a blood-written-looking text below it that says 'Hell's Fury'. "I already knew you are the leader" Anne smiled. "Oh? Is it because of my strong aura?" Alex laughed. "I guess. Rather, you looked the ugliest in the group" "Anne!" Anne laughed loudly and Chris pinched her side. The pirates around laughed along. "Very funny" Alex sighed. "Right, right. Let's get this over with" The green-haired girl claps as she stands up. "Yeah. Let's go and get our freedom!" Anne raised her hand up. They quickly left the port as soon as they boarded the pirate ship. "This is one hell of a ship" Riko commented about Anne's ship. "This is my first ship and the biggest of all my four ships!" Anne proudly told the gang. "My other four is-" As Anne talks to the gang, Chris noticed that the green-haired girl is glaring at her. She immediately looked away as soon as Chris looked. "-est one so far!" She focused back on Anne. Later, the gang separates way, Riko, Anne and Chris walk up to the front of the ship. "What do you think of these... Prohorovkan guys? They sound similar to the guys in the snowy mountains. Do you think they have connections?" Riko asked. "What I've heard from the president is, they came from a different world" Anne answered, surprising Riko. "Had me laughing. But their amazing technologies and vehicles is their evidence. Oh and they also speak the same language as those snow guys, but they call it differently. This is just weird" She said.
"Came from the other worlds..." Chris thinks. "How is that even possible?" She asked. "Didn't the president told you about it?" Riko asked. Anne shook her head. "No. That's all they told us. But I know they know something else" She answered. "Ah. Yeah, how are we gonna talk to them?" Chris asked. "Do they speak English?" She added. "We'll see" Anne sighed. "How bad did you heard about the South? Being in the war with these Prohorovkan guys" Riko asked. "Hmm... They are somehow still standing, they said. We'll know when we reach the place" Anne answered. Silence built up and Riko was looking for a topic to talk to. "Hey. Your group has a long name, right?" She asked. "Yeah. Valkyrie Rebel Front's Pirates. Basically, we are the army of the sea for the rebels in the Valkyrie State" Anne answered. "How about you? How did you come up with the 'Hell's fury'? Can you really unleash the hell's fury?" She asked. "Well. We kind of make chaos" Riko shrugged. "Nah. You're just like any other criminals. Hell's Fury is known for extortions, suspected driving stolen vehicles those kinds of crimes. I think I remember you gangsters tried to kill the whole Glorian government once. You wanted the state to bow before you. Which will never happen because you're the fury of the hell and people never wanted to live in hell!" Anne said. "Yeah. We wanted to rule over the Glorian State. We have connections from the South for assistance in case this president of ours tries to drive us away. Sadly, we failed. They were listening the whole fucking time..." Riko sighed. While thinking, Riko realized something, her eyes opened wide. "The Ramirez Piracy..." Riko looked at Anne. "Are you...?" "Yes..." Riko gulped. "I'm the last of the Ramirez bloodline, still up and maintaining the streak!" Anne answered. The thought that she was standing beside a Ramirez pirate sent some chills down her spine. The Ramirez Piracy. The Ramirez bloodline had a long history of Piracy in the world and is very well known even on the other side of the world. The Ramirez was the first to be the successful rebels and had the largest fleet of pirate ships before their country. It is said that the Ramirez once ruled over the West for many years, enslaving or executing everyone who goes against them. They didn't stop even when they had the West in their hands. They sailed and explored the whole world. Taking away resources from different locations. Slaying the tribes who don't agree on following them. They owned the world for many years. Until they lost control at the Great War when the Northern armies declared war on them and the South. They quickly lost control of the other side of the world and almost all of the people from the West fought the Ramirez and drove them away from control. And with that, one of the higher-ups of the western army took the president seat and handled the war. Starting from that day, The Ramirez Piracy has finally ended and the surviving Ramirez hid into one of the states. "My parent was the one who survived the war and hid into the Valkyrie State before the states were even divided into different names" Anne said. "Wow..." Riko looked at Anne with amazement. "You're a fucking history, you know that?" She said. "Heh. Yeah. I'm going to take back the Ramirez Piracy and rule the west again" Anne giggled. "Especially that I have met and known some of their dogs" She added. "Me and Chris. Together, we'll revive the Ramirez occupation of the West!" Anne folded her arms. Chris smiled as she looks at the clear seas. After that, they had their idle conversation until they were half-way to the Southern waters. "Hey..." Chris pointed at the two jets incoming. "Whoa-!" The jets loudly flew past them. "Boss! Those are noisy birds, is it?!" The pirate driving the ship shouted in fear. "Yeah! Except that it's not a bird! It's something else!" Anne shouted. All of a sudden, number of ships appeared around them. They are the Prohorovkan ships. They were at the same speed as the pirates. "B-Boss?!" A pirate called. "Are they a ghost or somethin'?!" Another pirate shouted. "Wait!" Anne looked closer and saw the red star from the cruiser. "That red star. It's them" Anne told the two. "Prohorovkans?" Riko stared at the ships surrounding them. There are two Kirov-class Cruisers on both of their sides. One Gangut Battleship on the front and three Storozhevoy-class Destroyers on their rear. "These ships!" The pirates started to get amazed by the Prohorovkan ships. "Hey! What's going on here?!" Alex with her gang showed up from the cabin. "They are the Prohorovkans! I think we'll be escorted back to their base!" Riko shouted. "Oh boy. Here we go" Alex grinned. After a second, Mark and a soldier appeared behind the gang. "Whoa!" Anne shouted as she saw their teleportation.
"Hello" Mark greeted, surprising the gang. "Huh?!" Alex quickly looked back, hearing an unfamiliar voice. "D-Did you see that?" Anne whispered to Riko. "They just appeared, like, poc!" Anne flicks her fingers. "Yeah, what the hell..." Riko nodded. "Are you the pirates and the biker-looking gang?" Mark asked. "So they do speak English..." Chris confirmed. "We're not them unless you really look closer and use your brains! Don't we look like it?!" Anne shouted. "Calm down, Anne..." Chris scolded. "There are many pirates and bikers you know" Mark glared at her. "The fuck are you talking about? There are only one pirate and a gang right now in the West!" Anne shouted. "Huh? Is that so?" Mark got confused. "Are you this... Pro-something?" Alex approaches Mark. "Yes. And looking at you, you're the Hell's Fury" "My god, that's so obvious!" Mark talked to Alex and Anne shouted again. "Mark. Ask them to come down and introduce themselves" The soldier talked in Japanese. Mark nodded and called them down. "I'm Annabelle Ramirez, handsome" Anne introduced. "I'm Christine Turner" Chris introduced. "I'm Alex Pratt. President of the Hell's Fury" "Sarah Gustavo. Vice-President" "Riko Matsumoto. Secretary" "Aaand Gabriel Smith! Gold miner!" Everyone looked at Gabriel. "Treasurer..." She sighed. "Treasurer of what?" Alex asked. "Treasurer of Hell's legi- Fury!" Gabriel stood straight. "Legion?" Riko gave a curious look. "Mark Higashino. one of the commanders of the PTRD. Nice to meet you" Mark raised his hand on Anne, for handshake but dropped them as soon as Anne was about to reach them. "Motherfucker..." Anne got annoyed. She grabbed Mark's neck instead. "Ack!" Mark was hurt by her grip. "Anne?! What are you doing?!" Chris, as well as the others are surprised. "I just wasted my energy asking my body to shake that hand of yours, and you wasted it!" Anne shouted. "Get... Off me!" Mark threw her hand away. He catches his breath while rubbing his neck. "Damn..." Mark glared at her. "Hey, come on now! Don't be upset!" Anne shrugged. "You're lucky it didn't grab your dick!" Anne laughed. Mark shook his head in annoyance. "Well? How about that cute girl beside you?" Anne asked and everyone looked at the soldier. "I'm Seiya Kanu-" "Wawawatashi wa- We don't speak that shit here" Anne interrupted her and got annoyed. "Здравствуйте. Я Сеийа Кануша. Приятно познакомиться..." Seiya spoke Russian instead. "Alright... Does she not speak English?" Anne asked. "Oh? You call it English too?" Mark was surprised. "Uh. Yeah?" Anne shrugged. "Well. She doesn't speak English. Her name is Seiya Kanusha" Mark told them her name. "You see. Our organization is obviously Russians. I'm the only foreigner in here" Mark said. "Russian, huh? I'm pretty sure you haven't been on the snowy mountains up from our states, have you?" Anne asked. "Nope. Never been there. Why?" Mark asked. "Nothing..." Anne shook her head. "Nice ships by the way" She complimented. "Yeah. They all belong to the PTRD" Mark nodded. "PTRD?" Chris repeated the name. "It's a long-ass name I already forgot. Shichiro, the founder, made that name on his own. PTRD is actually the name of a weapon" Mark explained. "So the P in the beginning is the Prohorovka?" Riko asked and Mark nodded. He looked around, thinking if he forgot something. "Alright. I guess that's it. Got your names and confirmations. See you all back in the base!" "Hey cute girl!" Mark and Seiya were about to teleport away until a pirate called for Seiya. They all looked at the pirate. "I have a lot of money in my pocket! How about we spend the rest of the day in an Inn?" He said and the other pirates laughed. "Yeah! Marry me!" "Go out with me, girl!" "You look hella cute!" "Those hips!" The pirates shouted. "How about-!" Anne was about to join but Chris pinched her side. "Creepy old men..." Seiya sighed loudly and with that, they teleported away. "Hey. Aren't y'all gonna talk about how they just appear and disappear?!" Anne shouted. "Yeah. Shit's weird" Alex looked up to Anne. "These guys are aliens in human skins" Anne shakes. "Do you believe in aliens, Anne?" Chris asked. "What are you talking about? We already witnessed two!" Anne shouted. "Boss! The ship in front of us is changing course! Should we follow them?!" The pirate shouted. "Of course you dumb fuck! Where else would you want to go?! Valhalla?!" Anne shouted back. "I'm sorry, Boss!" "I'm sorry, boss" The pirate apologized and Anne mocks him. "Anne, you gotta stop that-" "Shut up, Chris" Anne placed her finger on Chris' lips and Chris angrily slapped it away. After some time, they finally saw the Southern lands and the Prohorovkan ports. "Yo! You see that?!" Riko pointed at the Prohorovkan Headquarters. "Where is that building made of?!" Anne was very surprised. They docked into one of the port and they all disembarked. "You don't want your pirates loitering around, Annabelle. The soldiers will drag them somewhere else" Mark said. "Just call me Anne, sweetheart" Anne replied and told the pirates to cause no trouble. Then they all walked to the Headquarter. "Anne. Remember" Chris whispered. "Huh?" Anne looked at Chris. "No russ-"
As they enter the headquarters, the pirates followed the soldiers calling them. Chris kept reminding Anne of their plan. "I know, I know!" Anne was getting tired of Chris' whispers. "They are sure many. Wearing the same uniform" Alex whispered. "They all looked so young!" Gabriel whispered. They walked near the reception, where Sahara was all the time "Oh, Hi Mark" Sahara greeted. "Hey. These are the guys" Mark said as he keeps walking. "The guys from the west, I see" Sahara watched the group walk by with a smile. "Man, I already hate being here. They speak gibberish..." Anne taps Chris' shoulder. "What the hell did you expect? We're on the other side of the world!" Riko said. "Yeah, but I didn't expect them to sound like this!" Anne made a horrible face. "We're taking an elevator. Don't be afraid or something" Mark warned but none of them reacted. "Boy, we already know about the elevator, what year do you think are we in?" Alex asked. "Thought elevators still didn't exist here..." Mark shrugged off her question. Then they stopped before a big white elevator door. "Dude. Is this even an elevator?" Riko observed the door. It was rather in the silver side and traced by the black lines. Unlike any other elevators, their elevator doesn't display which floor it is currently on. Instead, a yellow light was on the top. There's a yellow button on the right in a rectangle shape. Mark pressed it and the elevator let out a loud beep before the light started to flash, indicating that the elevator was called. "How many do you think are you in this building?" Anne taps Mark's shoulders. "Around fifty-k maybe" "WHAT?!" Mark's answer made her shout so loud, it even echoed a bit. "Where the fuck y'all came from?" She loudly asked. "You will meet Shichiro in his office. Ask him about everything there" Mark sighed. "Though, I doubt he will tell you everything" He glanced at the group.
"Why?" Anne asked. "Seriously? Do you really think they will give out information just like that?" Alex raised a brow. "We're siding with them, it's natural that they should exchange secrets" Anne glared at her. "Alright, chill. You two ain't starting no trouble" Riko taps Alex's shoulder, she angrily sway her shoulder. "Don't touch me..." She said. The elevator finally came, the interior came down in sight seen from the small windows. The elevator let out another beep as the light turns off. Then the door opened before them. "Wow. This is a bit bigger than what we have" Riko scans the room, can't stop from being amazed. They fit just fine as they enter. "There are even chairs" Riko sat on one of the fixed rows of chairs on the left, there is also one on the other side. "You can even dance here!" Gabriel laughed. "Hm?" Anne noticed there are few sticky notes attached to the walls. The texts are written in Russian. She also noticed some black sticky spots, showing that some of the notes are taken. She wasn't bothered to ask about them. On the left wall of the elevator, there are two white touch-screen buttons in a rectangle shape. Mark pressed the upper button and the doors closed. The cabin had another door that looked the same as the ones on the floors. Then they started ascending. "Why did the west wanted to join us?" Mark asked. "We... kinda hate the south" Anne said. "For what reason? I heard that you allied with them once during a war" Mark turned to Anne. "Shit happens, you know?! There was a misunderstanding and now things don't look good anymore!" Anne didn't show any fear and answered naturally. This is a huge relief for the whole group. "I also heard that they were called by the Saijun country. And I didn't hear no cold response from you" Mark folded his arms. The group was sweating bullets, fearing that they are going to be blown out. "Well. I know nothing about that call but seriously, that was the current situation of our relationship with the souths!" Anne kept her composure and acted naturally.
"Hm..." Mark cackled. "You doubting us? How are we able to enter here at ease if we were your enemies?" Anne said. "You could be good at hiding your faces" Mark looked at the group. "Wow. We're just criminals acting like an emissary for the fucking government, not a fucking actor!" Anne shrugged. "We don't hide our shit, we show them!" She said. She got him confused and just sighed and dropped the conversation. "I can even marry you if that's how it's going to take" Anne said as she closed her eyes as everyone looked at her in surprise. "I'll pass. I'll let the others take care of you..." Mark said with a disgusted voice. "Why the fuck do you sounded like I'm just a cheap whore, huh?!" "Anne!" Anne was really triggered and Chris tried to calm her down. "Did I?" Mark looked at Anne. "Yeah! You did sound like you've been asked by a fucking whore! Look at my eyes!" Mark looked at Anne's eyes as she said. They are somewhat beautiful yellow eyes. "Yeah, I get it. You had the appearance, you're just not my type" Mark sighed. "I'm not your type because you have a bad taste! No wonder you're still a virgin!" Anne shouted. Mark blushed ears to ears. Everyone was quiet. "Hah! Virgin!" Anne proceeds to insult him. "Anne, stop it" Chris scolded her. "Why? This guy is on the age where you already fucked a girl once. But this guy ain't!" "Just... Stop" Anne fought back but Chris easily gave up. Anne noticed how down she was and quickly stopped. "Sorry..." Anne apologized to her. After reaching the floor, a lot of Prohorovkans in lab coats went into view. "Oh, wow. Look at them!" Anne's eyes widen. "Follow me" Mark said as he started walking. "It's like a fucking research facility. Lots of fucking scientists, man!" Riko whistled as she looked around.
"Hey. Y'all are scientists?" Alex asked. "No, but yeah... They are soldiers too. If they are not needed in the army, they do the works inside the bases" Mark responded. "What do they work on?" Anne asked. "They research, they develop weapons, those kinds of works. Those lab coats are the researchers and shit. They study the magics and try to develop a weapon with them" He answered. "Any weapons that are made by magics you can show or tell us?" Anne looked excited. "Not really. I'm not allowed, I think. Shichiro wouldn't want me messing around, especially that the whole organization hates me" Mark sighed. "They hate you? Why?" Chris was somehow worried. "I..." Mark couldn't answer in embarrassment, but he tried anyway. "Ugh... I was trying to play around. But I guess they just not in the mood for that kind of play" He sighed. "Lots of soldiers died under my command. Because of that stupid rule I made" He clenched his fists. "But this time, for sure. The last of my territories. I will unleash hell!" He whispered to himself. "Some strong spirits there, bud! You can unleash hell together with these Hell's Fury!" Anne laughed, She made Mark chuckle. After a long straight walk, they reached an elevator-like door. The group was kind of waiting for it to open, see how it does. They noticed there was a green light on the left door and red to the right. Once they approached it, the green light lit and the door opened. "Wow. I thought it was another damn elevator..." Anne giggled. "This hall leads to the offices. Shichiro's is at the end of the hall" Mark said. The hallway a little bit dim compared to the rest of the places around, and was very quiet. The noise was only their footsteps. They've reached the end of the hall and Mark sighed loudly. "Fuck. I forgot..." Mark looked at the sign and it was named after another person. "What?" Anne looked at the name. "Don't tell me this is not his" Anne quickly looked at Mark. "I forgot that it was on another elevator. Left of where the reception desk is" He said. "You bastard. You made us walk all the way here! But I guess it's fine, we got to see some shit" Anne winked at Alex. "Yeah. Crazy shits" She smiled.
"Alright. Let's go back..." Mark said and they proceeded back down and used the other elevator. This time, it was another hallway that greets them, similar to the other side. It was also quiet, but way quieter. The group was quiet as to go along with the silence. There were only two offices and enclosed by a single sliding door. Both have the same lights and both has the red light lit. They walked into the last one in the hall. They noticed there's a keypad above the lights on the doors. "Hey man, they're here..." Mark spoke at the door. "Who are you talking to?" Anne asked but no one responded. The door lit green and opened sliding up. Inside was a small room, cold by the air conditioning. There is a big sleeping pod attached to the wall on the left. A table for four people just left of the door. Then beside Shichiro's spot on the corner lies the three big gray lockers. The room was lit by two long LEDs attached to the ceiling. Shichiro was sitting on his desk facing the left wall. He looked at them with a bored face. "Hey. These are the guys from the west" Mark walks toward Shichiro while the group follows him. "Hm..." Shichiro looked at the group. "Pirates and gang. How dumb are they to entrust this important stuff to some criminals" He said as he chuckled. "So our leader speaks English too, nice...But yeah." Anne turned serious. "They sent us so it will not be their soldiers or any officials who would get fucked up if you guys didn't agree on our alliance. They're cowards!" Anne was angry. "Hm..." Shichiro smiled at her. "If that's the case, why don't YOU join us?" He said, surprising the group. "W-We are, right?" Chris asked. "No. Not the west, but you and your gang. Ignore whatever they asked you to and stay with us" Shichiro said. "Hey... This is crazy..." Alex bumped Anne with her elbow. "Dude..." Alex called. Then she looked at her face and saw a smile. "Annabelle?!" Alex knew what's going on with Anne's head.
"If you're going to accept us, then we'll gladly join you" Anne said with a determined smile. Even Chris was nervous about the situation. "Heh. Good answer. Now..." Shichiro stretches his arms. "We'll not do this by just talking. I want you to prove yourselves. Kill our enemies. Obey us and your gangs will be part of ours. Simple as that" Shichiro rests his arms on his desk. "Mark, be ready for your last defense. They could be planning on something right now" He said to Mark. "Bring these guys with you and make sure you watch them carefully. If they showed even the slightest hesitation on the battles, shoot them right away" Shichiro smiled. "Grr..." Alex grits her teeth in anger. "Y-You got it, man. You heard him. You will be also proving what you said to me before" Mark told the group. "Shichiro. I would like everything in my arsenal to be deployed at Lima and... the other last base!" He gathered his courage up to say it to Shichiro. "Oh? You're finally going to be serious?" Shichiro smiled. Mark nodded with a strong spirit. "Guns, tanks, planes... Everything!" Mark said. "I'm going to show them how real capable I am!" He placed his right fist on his chest. "Good. They are yours, to begin with. No need to ask me..." Shichiro sighed. "They were yours since I assigned you as one of ours" He added. "Great. Then, let's get going!" Mark told the group and they left Shichiro's office. The door slid down after two seconds they left. Shichiro pondered on his seat. "Hm... That's my brother, right there..." He chuckled. "Apply those Rule and Invade skills of yours" He added.
Mark gathered up his remaining army and called his squad leaders in a large briefing room. They sat, surrounding a large metal table. "Wow. Didn't expect to turn like that!" A female squad leader said. Mark looked at his squad leaders. "Listen, Mark. The squad leaders leading the squad I've assigned under your command has a lot of potentials. They are good leaders, Mark. They take big pride in their talents and would likely to respect you if you use them right. They will never disobey any of your order unless needed, man" He remembered his conversation with Shichiro. "You said they are used to be tank crews, right? They got promoted or something?" He asked to Shichiro. "Yes. I saw their uses and made them squad leaders. They are elite!" Shichiro chuckled. "Heh. Alright. I will take care of them!" Remembering the names of the former tank commanders under Shichiro's command, Mark promised him to lead them. "Harumi, Seiko, Minohara, Shizume, Mitsuki, and others! I'm sorry about before!" Mark bowed and apologized to them, surprising them. "I'm... I showed a very immature move until now..." He said, the squad leaders immediately felt remorse. "So, today. On our last territory, We will give everything out!" His words made many eyes open wide in surprise. "We'll give them hell! We'll give them the hell of modern warfare!" Mark slams the table. "There we go!" Seiko shouted. "I knew you had in 'ya pal!" She said. Mark nodded on her. "Yes. Get everything we got and we will move immediately. Everything, bring your squadrons, your artillery platoons... All of them! And we will march towards the Lima and Virtue!" Mark said.
"Heh. Finally. My new KV-2 has been waiting for too long for a destruction..." Kaede giggled. "Here's the rise of the Elite tankers!" Harumi joined the hype. "Whoa. They looked excited..." Anne watched them, having no idea what they just talked about. "They looked war-torn despite their ages" Gabriel audibly gulped. "What the hell is going in here, Riko?" She nervously looked at her. "No idea either. Guess we'll find out..." She said.

Keetrix Ayeee! The west didn't expect the PTRD to send them into the battlefield! I wonder what's the Hell's Fury and the Pirates are gonna do? Killing the southern army might give trouble between them!
And with Mark's unexpected change starts the PTRD's wrath way earlier than the southerners thought! (Had to re-publish. Some lines I missed)
