On the 26th November 2058 A.C.B.
At alarm clock rings. Lieutenant Miyako Fukumori managed to get herself out of the bed, get dressed. Catch the airlift heading towards Raizen with Tsutsui Claire in time.
Inside the Airborne Ship heading towards the destination regular Brittonian military sergeant, glassed woman shoulder length black hair with timid skinned Tsutsui Claire currently as the assistant to Miyako to her annual inspection, asked upon seeing her grim expression—
"Hey Miyako... Are you ok?"
"Huh?"
"Just don't say 'You are okay' cause everyone said that when they don't."
"I don't know what that means..."
"Oh... Right... Just wondering you just came into the barrack fetch me from the group without saying a word, it's odd..."
"Problem?"
"Ahuh?... No, no. No problem at all."
Without given the time Miyako to answer, Claire talkative mind made the answer on her own.
Therefore Miyako states--
"I don't know want to bother you anymore; High-Command recommend you as a partner without any affiliations with the Special Division."
"What's wrong with the Special Division?"
"Well... I don't know... Valkyrie Division and Terrarium Knights both internal military wings become more and more frantic everyday. In Lex Unit I was LC (Lieutenant Colonel) got demoted as regular military infantry because I didn't choose into Special Unit department. And I don't want to been dragged along in this madness. It's like a quicksand, once stepped we'll never go out. I got once, never go back again..."
"Heheh..." Claire chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
"I am sorry. Just very unusual for the denounced Ice Queen: An intelligent woman who always serious about work, strictly professional not even her personal feelings let her swayed her from professionalism, having no sense of humour, no matter who she is faced with. Your bio stated everything."
"My bio...?"
"Yeah... Compared to Valkyrie Division Commander Iwai Tsuyke; The Iron Woman of Valkyrie, Valkyrie Division Field Commander in Natalia Yomoni's absence. And noteworthy for being the youngest woman to achieve rank of military Commander. She is assigned to the TYZ. As the Chief of The Valkyrie Division. She is the model female Soldier and is idolized by many women in the military but she got no sense of humour. Compared to you at least have little bit of humour."
Like her father-figure Harasaki, Claire's carefree light-hearted extroversion, lighten up Miyako's deep seriousness, reveal a little smile.
"Giggled. Yeah sure I have, haven't I?"
"See what did I tell you. You reminded me of Sergeant Major Nakajo Tomotaki, outside all tough, glowering and nasty, inside all heart."
"T-Tomotaki...?"
"Oh...!"
Strong silence of sorrow gripped the aircraft. Miyako was closer to Tomotaki than Claire ever was and she knew that.
"Hey Miyako I-I am sorry... I was—"
"It's okay. You are friends Clair rather than colleague or comrade."
Claire silently apologised, Miyako sensibly forgive. Added few details about their relationship
"Classmates from the TYZ's elementary, our relationship were primarily defined by strong rivalry. I always out-performed him on all fronts, causing him to harbour an intense feeling of jealousy towards me. Aware of this, I stayed silent, prided myself. However, when me life went upside down. Tomotaki was only one who stood besides, given me support to move forward. When I heard he is reported killed in Cell Destroy Operation in Yellow Zone..."
Overwhelmed with emotion, from she mourns, Miyako began to little depressed, convulsive gasps made Claire a little tensed.
"Ahh. It's not fair Miyako! Why are you gloomy all the sudden...?"
"No, Sorry. I just get carried away, that's all."
Claire sighed, "Got me worried..."
"I'm sorry..."
"No don't be your angst is reasonable. Like Nakajo Tomotaki, Ken Kawazoe and many countless other soldiers fighting day and night so it's citizens get some goodnight sleep."
"I see..."
Composed Miyako, wiped the little tears off, got herself back again from burden of regret. Continued their journey, meantime doubts her decision back then.
Aircraft arrived in Raizen's air platform. They went into elevator, the current situation inside were stable after the havoc of bloodbath conducted by the Helecter's, organised by Redtron years ago. The security much tighter "almost impregnable" according to the engineers.
"You know I'm just saying you know..."
"Alright I get that. What you think I am? An infant?"
"Who says you're an infant? No need to be a Jerk about everything."
Soon when the lift reached ground level Miyako and Claire spotted couple of jokers they know very well, bicker for petty reasons, those are Renkik Yito (Mr. Nice Guy A tall, young man standing has a muscular build. has crimson hair with three braids that are typically draped over his shoulder, and brown eyes.) and the other Ilza Orihara, sole infantryman during the Operation Dominica beside Masamune and Natkatso Harasaki, eliminating the dreaded Helecter's Doctor Frederick. the Imperial Army Ilza has blue eyes; and, shoulder-length, blond hair that is combed into three points, with two in the back of his head, and a third combed to cover his left eye.
A gloomy and cynical person, not easily able to socialize with others. He generally appears weak and indifferent, leading many to believe he lacks the ability to be an Imperial soldier. As a Sergeant, he does not tend to inspire confidence or boost morale the way other lieutenants do. However, Ilza become more depressed after the death of his former comrade/friend Kotha during the confrontation with Mutant Doctor Frederick. As a survival of the ordeal Ilza come back from depression vowed to make the world a better place as to respect to his dead comrade whom he was loyal to both his friends and his duties. When Ichiro came to power, Ilza transferred to Raizen Supermaxim as a temporary Raizen Guardsman.
"Lieutenant Fukumori."
"Lieutenant. Good morning."
"Renkik? What are you doing in here? Aren't you suppose to be on an Imperial mission?"
Miyako questioned in mild surprise.
"Sure was." Renkik nodded, "Before we went return safely in TYZ yesterday. At top of the morning, took a personal day off and went up here. Really wanted to see the infamous Raizen."
"How's Masamune doing?"
"Not well actually... We have been a lot, most of them were too strange to describe... Although I am jealous, seeing beautiful Miyako Fukumori caring for him. Wish I could have a caring woman like you. Frivolous guy like me couldn't expected more."
"Don't sound like a real threat, huh?"
Claire claimed, like the others behind her thought the same.
Upon Miyako's inquiry about Masamune's wellbeing, Renkik replied, been blushful and casual, rubbing at the back side of his head, downplays and skips the disaster him and his squad witnessed in Himalayas and what's to come.
"Raizen isn't a picnic spot Renkik! Oh, I'm sorry. SECOND-CLASS Knight-Lord Renkik!"
"Is there a problem Sergeant Ilza? Like the new Imperian recruits flooding inside, considered me as one."
"It isn't the same thing!"
"Enough both of you!"
"Sorry Lieutenant..."
Miyako forcibly stopped the circus two clowns making, right before another one starts.
*Kaboom!*
Followed by the cracking explosion, like a flash of light total black out.
[(Your Attention please. Main Gate has been breached. Main Gate has been breached. Raizen Guardsmen protect your station. We are under attack by unknown hostiles)]
"What's going on!?"
"Can't you see it! We are under attack!"
"By whom!? I thought the Raizen is impregnable."
When the generator comes in, intense siren blaring, added with turmoil around the Raizen Guardsmen. Remember the last attack.
"Was... Impregnable...look over there..."
During the panic, horde of Imperial soldiers, Miyako point right above the Raizen's gothic ribbed vault began to crack.
"What the hell...—"
"Get down get down!"
Came with a munching sound the entire roof collapsed down, made an enormous hole, half dozen of strong cable ropes plunged at the surface, through the hole, series of unknown mutant hostile invaded, cutting the prison Guardsmen, as their assault over Raizen Supermaxim begins, with enormous Noryoku and other Fallen's capabilities to easily slaughtered all with single strike.
"Lieutenant Fukumori where would we go!?"
*Bang. Bang*
"Who's these guys?! Kind of uniform I'd never seen..."
As the chaos, turmoil and disorder plunged into the Raizen prison, for lacking support and leadership. Unwilling Miyako stood beside her comrades takes charge.
"Listen you lot. I believe the unknown enemy are some Anti-Imperium Mutant fanatics. Claire. Joined Shogi's squad assist the none-combatant out from the crossfire into safe side."
"Yes Lieutenant!"
"Meanwhile Renkik, donned the Techno Suit, if don't. have one. Go with Ilza to the Raizen armoury."
"Yes ma'am..."
After exchanged a glance Ilza and Renkik both agreed, went to the armoury as she said.
Meanwhile Miyako trying to contact the Raizen's new warden, recently replaced, Warwick.
Once connected Miyako reported the situation in a desperate tone.
"Warden Warwick... We are under attack, Raizen's base overrun by Mutants, cutting down your men, why haven't you sent reinforcements, if not, send something!"
".... apologies for the delay. But Warden Warwick is no longer in charge in Raizen. For now, I —Redtron— the Mutant Emperor is taking over this facility! Brittonian military maintains an aura of being civilized society while oppressed those who stood against them... Those very brave resistance fighters locked in here, those disagreed with them, refuse to bend the knee for our tormentors. But it is for humans to experience fear. Rise up brothers and sisters! Join your Emperor's crusade, crush the enemies!"
The panic doubled when Redtron's masculine intimidating tone, announced throughout Raizen's. On every communication devices. Then, all the cages open, firmly motivated by his speech almost every prisoner rattle out from their cages attacking the Raizen's staff and Guardsmen. Why bother using an army, when there's dozens of sympathizers, waiting to be released.
"That voice...!"
"That's Redtron! Everyone! Get to the Warden's office! Get that son of a bitch Redtron, now!"
"No wait don't make a hasty decision... Dammit."
As the chaos comes with disorder, comes with turmoil and rash thinking. Without considering Miyako's, the majority of Guardsmen advanced forward, along with the Raizen's Guardsman Captain with heavy automatic machinery to counter wave release prisoners.
The fear of Redtron was obvious, when he said he would crush everyone in the prison he means it. Therefore, Miyako head towards the third floor. On the warden's office get a bad feeling about this.
"Ahh-ah...!!!"
A strong gasp, what she saw is a massacre of first squad of Raizen Guardsmen, sliced off, piece by piece with Redtron standing at the centre, glaring at her.
Before Miyako react to this revolting sight, her expression of fear and shock, eyes widened, seeing, after murdering whole bunch of Raizen's guards, now Redtron's prime target is Miyako Fukumori as he pounced on her in extreme pace of speed.
