With L.T.O.'s invasion of Grava City coming to its climax, another operation is also moving to its end.
In between time and space where the L.T.O. base is located, the Snachro brothers are chilling at the entrance of the base. All of them are lying on the floor in a circle, looking at the ceiling.
"Hey, Satch, when are these bitches going to get back?" Frax exclaims impatiently.
"Well, considering they are looking for the level three dagger in this shady place, I'm sure it's not going to take a few seconds to find. So who knows how long it will take for them to come back?" Satch responds with a calm expression.
"So sad brother Frax is unfortunately going to lose his mind before they even have enough time to complete our entire reason for being here," Ruth says sarcastically.
"What the hell did you just say, you son of a bitch?" Frax screams.
"Aye, chill out, Frax; we have the same parents," Satch remarks.
"So sad, how could you talk that way about our parents?" Ruth asks with fake tears filling his face.
"Oh, stop being such a baby!" Frax yells with a vicious expression as blades come out of his fingertips.
"Ahh, brother Satch, save me! Brother Frax is going to kill me!" Ruth exclaims as he gets up and runs.
"I wasn't, but now that you're running, maybe I will!" Frax screams as he chases after Ruth.
"Haha, don't hurt him too bad, Frax!" Satch says with a smile.
"Yeah, of course I'll just put a few blades in his back!" Frax exclaims.
"Brother Satch, save me!"
"Nah, don't run now all that shit talking!" Frax screams with his tongue out.
As Frax and Ruth go at it, Satch goes back to staring at the ceiling.
"I do hope they don't take long. I'm ready to get the rest of my money," Satch says with a smirk.
On the fifth floor of the L.T.O. base, Exploiter and Mary are currently walking down a dark hallway that leads to the next stare case.
"So, hey Exploiter, how much longer until we get our first dagger! Huh?"
"Calm down, Mary; we are here to do a good job, not a quick one. Being simple-minded won't end this well," Nisugi says with a serious expression.
"Well, we used the simpler way we destroyed those things," Mary says as she looks back.
When Mary looks back, she sees piles of destroyed augmented cyborgs.
"Mary," Exploiter says.
"Yeah, I know I sensed him the second he showed up," Mary responds.
Mary looks to the front of the room and sees a man in a lab coat standing in their way. The man is 5'6, white-skinned, has brown hair, and is missing his left arm. He is also wearing glasses, long khaki pants, and a blue buttoned-up shirt alongside his striped tie.
"Hello, Exploiter, long time no see," the mysterious man says in a low tone.
The second Mary hears the man's voice, she instantly pulls out her pistol and points it at him.
"Wait, Mary, calm yourself!" Exploiter exclaims in a serious tone.
"Hmm?"
"His power is what's keeping this building we are in existing. If you kill him, this place will disappear, and we will be lost between space and time, which will most likely lead to death," Exploiter says with an unwavering expression.
"Oh shoot, I almost killed us all," Mary says with a chuckle as she stops aiming her pistol at the man.
"I see you haven't changed about how cautious you are. You see an enemy right in front of you, but you still don't move an inch until you're sure of victory," the man says with a smirk.
"Yes, and I see those experiments you and him have been working on have left you a shell of your former self, Solomen," Exploiter remarks.
"Hehe, how observant of you," Solomen says while giggling.
Solomon steps further into the small light leaking into the hallway, and both women see that the skin on Solomon's entire left side is burned off.
"Eww, he's ugly as fuck!" Mary screams in disgust.
"Oh, my Solomon, what type of experiments have you been conducting this time with that man?"
"That's none of your business—you've destroyed so many of my babies. There's no way I would let you in on my other masterpiece in the making," Solomon remarks with an enthusiastic tone.
"Oh, your babies, I'm guessing you're referring to the augmented cyborgs. Well, I guess I was wrong about you being a shell; you're just as unbearable as always. All that preparation I did for you just for your arm to be gone, I thought you would have remade it by now, but I guess you're just a regular Lackey now," Exploiter says in a demeaning tone.
"Oh, don't jump the gun; you devious women, these wounds only still exist for the advancement of science!" Solomon yells excitedly.
Suddenly trillions of black metal particle-shaped beads rise from the ground, completely engulfing the room.
"What is this? Are these like diseases or something?" Mary remarks.
"I see, so you have finally perfected it," Exploiter says with an astonished look on her face.
Solomon tears off the left sleeve of his lab coat, showing off the metal plate covering where his arm was. The metal particles start to gather at this metal plate and start to form something.
"Yes, Exploiter, I have perfected it, my nanotech!" Solomon exclaims at a rapid pace.
The black particles form a black metal arm that's the same size as his right arm.
"I see, so this won't be easy," Exploiter whispers.
"Oh, so is this guy strong Exploiter?" Mary asks.
"Yes, once he pulls out his powers and his brain goes into overdrive, it will be hard to complete this operation promptly," Exploiter says calmly.
"Well, that's what you brought me here for, isn't it?" Mary says confidently.
A small brown journal suddenly manifests in Solomon's right hand, and then he pulls out a pen from his left pocket.
"Now get out of the boss's base, you traitor!" Solomon says with a pinch of anger in his voice.
Solomon opens up his journal and begins to move his pen towards the page, but...
"Stop!" Mary shouts.
Suddenly all of Solomon's movements come to a complete stop.
"What the hell? I can't move," Solomon says as he looks at Mary.
"I told you I planned for this operation, didn't I, Solomon? I would never walk into the enemy base without a solid plan."
Exploiter starts to walk toward Solomon as she watches him try his hardest to move.
"I knew my foolish daughter would leave you here to take care of the base while they attacked Grava City, so I knew exactly how to make this operation a guaranteed success," Exploiter remarks.
Solomon looks over to Mary and starts to think to himself.
"That girl, it had to be her! She said, stop, and I stopped. Is it her power? Did Exploiter really obtain someone who can control people with just her words?" Solomon thinks to himself with an agitated expression.
Exploiter walks up to Solomon with a smug look on her face.
"Mary, go ahead."
"Okie!"
Mary walks up to Solomon and gets close to his ear.
"Now go ahead and tell me where the level three dagger you have in your possession is located," Mary says in a seductive tone.
"The hell, I would never tell you something like th—"
As Solomon speaks, he notices that his lips are moving on their own.
"The dagger is located on the emblem on the throne in the main meeting room on the top floor. The emblem must be twisted and returned to the center each time. It's like a passcode to get into a vault," Solomon says against his will.
"Yeah, go ahead and tell us that code, buddy," Mary says playfully.
"The code is twist to the right twice, twist to the left six times—"
As Solomon speaks, he starts to think to himself.
"What the hell is going on? Why won't my mouth stop flapping already?"
"Hehe, look at his face; he looks so confused. Too bad for him; my influence manipulation allows me to influence anyone I speak to, but too bad it only works on those with a certain amount of willpower. Lucky for me, your will is as soft as wet tissue paper. What a loser!" Mary thinks to herself.
After Solomon spills all the information about the whereabouts of the level three dagger, Exploiter begins to walk to the top floor.
"Mary, you stay here and watch Solomon; I will go finish the mission," Exploiter commands.
"Oki doki! Don't take too long now!" Mary says as she puts her arms around Solomon, who still can't move.
Mary pulls out her phone and puts it in a selfie position.
"Say cheese, dumbass!" Mary exclaims as she takes a photo with Solomon against his will.
"Damn you," Solomon says with an annoyed expression.
Exploiter walks to the top of the mansion, where the meeting room is located. The very first thing she sees is the throne sitting above the meeting table.
"He was always too cocky for the world he was living in. That's why I won't let his plan come to fruition even if it kills me," Exploiter thinks to herself as she walks up to the throne.
Exploiter puts the code she got from Solomon into the stone emblem, and the emblem splits open like a book.
"I see, so he expects to gather every dagger."
The exploiter looks inside the emblem and sees one level-three dagger in a carved-out slot. Next to that dagger there are seven other dagger slots lined up in a circle.
Exploiter pulls a suitcase out of the bag on her backpack. Exploiter puts a code into the buttons on the side of the suitcase and then unlocks it with a key.
"Mission almost done," Exploiter says as she places the level three dagger in the suitcase.
Exploiter picks up the suitcase, puts it in the backpack, and then locks the bag up as well.
"As long as I have one of the daggers, you will never reach your goal, and I'm counting on it," Exploiter remarks as she begins returning to Mary.
Exploiter returns to Mary and continues walking.
"Oh, that was fast, Exploiter! I think I got enough photos for my dimension sandwich post I'm going to make after leaving this creepy mansion," Mary says in excitement.
"Make sure Solomon's doesn't interfere with us leaving."
"Ok! Hey stupid man, dont worry, you will be able to move once you are out of my radius, so sit tight!" Mary screams.
"Hey, you can't just leave me here, Exploiter! I'm telling you you won't get away with this L.T.O. doesn't play around with ou—"
"Could you shut up until we leave too?" Mary asks with a sly smile.
Solomon instantly closes his lips and is unable to talk.
After this, Exploiter and Mary returned to the Snachro brothers. Instantly, Satch used his pocket dimension power to safely return to their regular reality and escape the switch between space and time.
The group returned to the same island in the Snachro Zone where they first started.
"Alright, that took a lot out of me, but we finally made it back to the good old Snachro Zone!" Satch says in relief.
"Yeah, that damn weird place felt suffocating, damn it!" Frax exclaims.
"So sad it seems like it's almost morning time we spent so long in that place," Ruth remarks with tears in his eyes.
"Snachro brothers"
After hearing their names, all three brothers look to Exploiter.
"I have wire-transferred you all the money as promised. Thank you for a fine job. I hope we may work together again in the future," Exploiter says as she types on her phone.
A ding sound goes off in Satch's phone, and he instantly looks at it.
"Ahhh!" Satch screams with sparkles in his eyes.
"What is it?" Ruth and Frax exclaim.
"1,000," Ruth reads.
"000," Frax reads.
"000," Satch reads.
"One billion dollars! Let's go!" the Snachro brothers scream all at once.
The Snachro brothers start to jump up and down while saying, "Ya! Ya! Ya!"
As the Snachro brothers celebrate their earnings, Exploiter walks over to Mary.
"Thank you for coming out here, Mary. I will make sure to update you on when I will need you next," Exploiter says in appreciation.
"Yeah, of course anytime I think I want to go get my hair dyed and get some new piercings, do you think you could see me two thousand?" Mary asks as she checks herself out with the camera on her phone.
"Yes, of course I'll send it to you right away," Exploiter says with a chuckle.
"Thank you, boss!" Mary yells with a wink as she begins to leave.
After Mary leaves, Exploiter looks up to the moon and behind to think to herself.
"They should have arrived by now."
Back at Grava City, where the L.T.O. invasion continues, Ketsu and Butch finally arrive. On top of a building on the west side of Grava City, Ketsu and Butch look around at the city.
"Oh wow, the city has been through a lot in such a short time!" Butch says with a curious expression.
"Yeah, this city looks like a hellscape. I'm glad we're just here to try to get that dagger," Ketsu says with a worried expression.
"Oh, I hope we can get that dagger; it will be a great flex to show my girl!" Butch yells while daydreaming.
"Uh, this is going to be a long mission."
