Death is denounced, inevitable, uncertain but sometimes unexpected.
Expect the leader Vivian, the Scavenger completely annihilated blink of an eye. Natalia and rest of the Valkyrie Maidens live to tell the tale.
Only casualties: Okazaki Mayu and Yin, death from car accident. Brittonian Military never found Tomita Mitsumasa as the culprit.
Tension for another civil war was inevitable, more brutal, bloodier than the last two.
Akagi's extreme tactics, unfazed to commit terrorism or even near genocide forced Supreme One Ichiro's hand to get any intel about his plans becomes more crucial. As the military/Police Agency servicemen, experienced on TYZ's cities outlook currently on a tight schedule. The Imperium Senate had to sent to some minor intel recovery assignment to the most jovial and obnoxiously spiteful duo in Brittonia's military history:
Wild-scar Natkatso Harasaki and Fox-face Ken Kawazoe: Imperium Brittonia's Bests.
Despite they made a dirty-face during accepting the covert operation, who knows the mission they unwilling to accept could change the course of the upcoming war.
By the time the Continental War ceasefire, Brittonian Imperial Army withdrawn, call out from the frontline, went back to their home, reunite with their family but among herd of sheep there is a wolf hiding inside.
Among of many wolves there is one they caught codename Mickey Mouse: An ex-military and a former operative of the B.I.A (Brittonia's Intelligence Agency) during Byron's reign disbanded because it's thoroughly corrupt and didn't agree on Ichiro's policies, after that he went underground for a while presumed dead — until now. He resurfaced within Yellow Zone.
"What a luck, after so many years, we are working together again."
Ken inquired, lighten up a conversation, stood boringly beside Harasaki, who remained silent,
"So-so, how close did ya get with this Mickey Mouse character? Katsu? I mean... Have you seen him in person?"
"Want a long version or the short?"
"Shorter of course. Who wants to hear life story of a cartoon character? Unless he's not a literal Mickey Mouse."
"(Sighs) There's an old saying in law enforcement that applies to the military too, that quote 'The bad guys need to get lucky every time. The good guys just need to get lucky once. And I got very, very lucky.'"
"Puff... You still got the 'Good guy' complex I can't believe you...—"
"--And as a former Intelligence operative scumbag willing to do what it takes to survive in TYZ's street, he'd easily fitting candidate being a crook, only likes couple of things: college, soccer, hard-hitting drugs... And pussies. In every Saturday afternoon Yugur got his orgy session attend to. Finding him this place much easier where he can submerge himself into raw pleasure inside eight prostitutes on a giant bed. Unlike your random visit to this establishment Mouse at least consistent."
"What-ah, you... When I-I. Ah... fuck it. And you fuck you! That's a cold one."
Waiting across the road, inside a car, spying over a specific building with red light ignite when the evening approaches, is a whorehouse. All they had to stake out target's favourite whorehouse. It just so happened to be Ken's favorite, too.
While Harasaki's blunt snarky remarks only rein Ken's sharp sarcastic tongue, he doesn't mind.
"Here he comes?"
"Who— Mouse?
"No. Lord Masamune."
Harasaki remarked, Hyoubu Masamune enters their side-parked car back seat, wearing civilian clothes like this rest.
"Lord Masamune unexpected to see you here in awfully dull area?"
"This is important gentlemen—"
As a Second-class Knight Lord, we're just a off-work, corrupt street sucker. Sorry to disappoint." Ken sharply replied.
"If I say there is a mole inside Terrarium Knight Order." Masamune bluntly retorted, stunned the rest.
"Wha-what you mean there is a mole inside?"
"I know that's radical, but the intel is solid. Word is The Mickey mouse that already inside the brothel, also a high-ranking Brittonian officer, subsequently High-command send me as backup into unofficially with your mission."
"What's the mole thing gotta to do with any of this!?"
Passive aggression Harasaki misinterpreted Masamune's facts as an accusation; especially he's only Brittonia's high-ranking officer, who isn't a Terrarium Knight,
"Hey Katsu, relax."
"What relax! How can I be relaxed if that prick spouting bullshit?"
"Is that Ventner Steinbach!?"
Shocking revelation when Ken spotted his own Terrarium squad comrade, Vannier Steinbach just walked out of the whorehouse.
"Son of a bitch!"
Shocking maybe: Steinbach fits the profile. First-class Knight Lord Steinbach Vannier (olive skin, dark blue hair, purple sideburns, lizard-like golden eyes.)
Apart from the distinct appearance due to western ancestry. Steinbach quite nasty, spitefully despicable to speak of, brutally murdered his own sister with an axe, but not malicious as his best fellow would describe him. They all know they hit goldmine with bonus.
"What are we waiting for? Get him Major."
Without further ado; Harasaki and Ken stepped out of the car start walking towards Steinbach while he was busy, kissing his world-class mistresses goodbye,
"Hey Mickey!"
Hearing the name, Steinbach turned behind, run immediately, panicked upon seeing the two.
"Oh fuck!"
"Oh-oh wait-what what's the rush? Come with us!"
Steinbach wouldn't get far, tripped over the fence the lawn. Pinched by the fellow comrade, Ken didn't show a flicker of regret, dragging his ass off the lawn.
"What's you off to? Let's take talk!"
"Hey Ken...."
"Hey Vanessa how ya're doing? See you around."
While dragging him, one hooker, Vanessa winked at Ken as he passed by. Ken did the same, with less enthusiasm.
"Alright, alright I talk just don't kill me,"
"Attaboy then speak. Don't like the answer, I will throw you overboard in the swampy lake out there."
Drove few miles away, Harasaki the one dropped Steinbach in a remote cabin, he quickly realised there's no way out of there without confessing to Terrarium Knights, denounced for their merciless cold-blooded torture.
"First of all. I did not betray Brittonia. And I have full immunity."
"Yes. You have this."
"I just gave permission for some shipment coming into the Imperium States from aboard."
"What kind of shipment?"
"Somebody, well-connected, told me to deliver some foreign blonde chicks. They knew my weakness."
"Human trafficking?! Gezz... Steinbach."
"No-no they're mutants, all of them, that's for certain. They are planning a something, an attack bigger than the Dark Friday's. They also smuggled heavy armaments from overseas."
Said enough. Harasaki and Ken knew Mutant radicals plotting something, question is; which faction? Most plausible answer: the warmonger Fraternity and their ambitious Emperor, prepared for war against Brittonia. Yet they can't be sure.
"Who told you to do that? Who's behind all of this."
"Um.... —"
Before Steinbach could reveal the faction, the chamber's ceiling began to crack,
"What? What's going on?"
"Oh, no-no nah...!?"
Instead answering Harasaki's question, Steinbach begun weeping heavily.
Before that. An enormous hand punched through the ceiling,
"Whoa... What the fuck!?"
