[yoichi,yadara and narimo training]
Yoichi: ok if we're going to go back in the city we need to train as much as possible because we don't know what we're up against.
Yadara: ok..but how are we going to train if we don't know what we're up against?.
Narimo: He's right, if we don't know what we're up against we can't really train.
Yoichi: I just want you two to train so when the time comes you two can protect yourselves.
[yadara and narimo look at yoichi surprised]
Yadara: We didn't know training us meant this much to you.
[yoichi tries to attack yadara but yadara blocks it]
Yoichi: Good, your blocking is getting better.
[Yadara looks at yoichi confused]
Yadara: what was that for?.
[yoichi smiles]
Yoichi: you don't need to let your emotions get the best of you when fighting, because you'll let your guard down.
Yadara: oh ok, so that was a part of the training?.
[yoichi laughs]
Yoichi: Of course it was.
[yoichi sees that narimo is zoned out so he goes to attack her]
Yoichi: I got you.
[narimo grabs yoichi's hand and throw him to the side]
Narimo: don't underestimate while in training.
[yoichi,yadara and narimo laugh]
Yoichi: ok, you got me there.
Yadara: I wonder what hatano's doing?.
[yoichi puts his hand on yadara's shoulder]
Yoichi: your sister has been really focused on stopping inaba.
Narimo: she does know that she can take a break once in a while, right?.
Yoichi: yeah, but she's the kind of person who will work themselves into the grave.
Yadara: do you think that there's a place in the city she's wanting to get married at?.
[yoichi looks at yadara surprised]
Yoichi: I'm not sure, she keeps asking me to hurry up and marry her but i don't know when the right timing is.
Narimo: what if you go do it right now and surprise her?.
Yoichi: I can't because she's too busy.
Yadara: maybe it'll make her stop working so hard, didn't ise say he was going to be the one to take over stopping inaba.
[yoichi smiles]
Yoichi: You're good kids but I'll wait till the timing is right, I don't want her to be stressed out when I'm trying to propose to her.
Yadara: ok.
[ise calls hatano]
Hatano: hello?.
Ise: hey i got a team to finally go into the city it'll probably be tonight when they're finished.
Hatano: ok.
Hatano: Do you think mom is still inside the city?.
Ise: [sigh] I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure I called the prison yesterday and they said that they did forget one during the evacuation.
Hatano: what?.
Ise: yeah, they said they forgot the most dangerous one because they didn't have the right transportation.
Hatano: So she's still in there?.
Ise: I'd say so.
Hatano: [sigh] ok.
Hatano: If your mission fails and they don't get mom out of there we're going back in there.
Ise: that's against the rules, we can risk anything happening that compromises the company.
Hatano: [sigh] I don't care about the company's reputation, when it comes down to my mom's safety I'll risk breaking the rules.
Ise: ok, but just wait till we see what happens during the mission, if it fails i wont say if you went in there.
Hatano: ok, thank you
[hatano hangs up]
[team 7 finally arrives at the prison]
Sanjo: ok team we need to get in and get out.
Soldier 1: ok so what's our route?.
Sanjo: your route will be the left side of the prison so if anyone escapes they cant run any farther than what they did.
Soldier 1: understood.
Soldier 2: Sanjo sir, do you want us to follow you?.
[sanjo smiles]
Sanjo: I don't need back up, your route is on the right side and I'll take the front entrance.
Soldier 2: But sir we don't even know what we're up against.
Sanjo: doesn't matter, I can handle whatever comes at me.
Soldier 2: ok sir.
Sanjo: ok men let's get into position and grab whatever is in here.
Team 7: yes sir.
[team 7 leaves the truck and gets into position]
Soldier 1: left route is secured.
Sanjo: understood.
Soldier 2: right route is secured.
Sanjo: understood.
[sanjo walks up to the front entrance]
Sanjo: front entrance secured.
Soldier 1 and 2: understood.
[saito laughs and jumps of the prisons roof]
Sanjo: you must be one of inabas henchmen.
[saito smiles]
Saito: What if I am?.
[sanjo laughs]
Sanjo: It'll be fun making a mess out of you.
Saito: I should be the one saying that to you.
[saito runs at sanjo using his organ strand but sanjo blocks it]
Saito: what?.
[sanjo smiles then cuts saito in half]
Sanjo: told you I would make a mess.
[saito uses is organ strand to sow himself back together]
Saito: how can a human block a strand?.
Sanjo: You'll see.
[sanjo uses the executioners strand]
[saito laughs]
Saito: I've never seen an executioner's strand look like that before.
Sanjo: Well you'll be the first and last one to see it.
[sanjo opens fire on saito but saito dodges it]
Saito: Now it's my turn.
[saito stomps the ground and blood spikes peirce sanjo]
Sanjo: [cough].
[saito smiles]
Saito: I guess it was the first and last time seeing that new executioner strand.
Saito: Oh well, Inaba has something new to play with.
[saito surrounds the prison in blood spikes killing team 7]
Saito: Now shall we?.
[saito drags sanjos body into the prison]
Saito: Hey inaba.
Inaba: oh saito, what are you doing here?.
Saito: I brought you a new test subject.
[inaba smiles]
Inaba: Great, I have big plans for this one.
[inaba grabs sanjo and throws him onto a hospital bed]
[inaba smiles]
Inaba: Now this will be fun.
[inaba pulls off sanjo's jaw and replaces it with a metal one]
Inaba: this one will be my pet.
Inaba: Wait, he has a mutated executioner's strand.
[inaba plays around with the strand till it enhances the metal jaw]
Inaba: now he'll be able to bite into anything.
[ise calls hatano]
Ise: hatano, it's an emergency.
Hatano: What's going on?.
Ise: the team I sent in was killed instantly.
Hatano: oh, did you get any footage of Inaba's henchmen?.
Ise: yes i was able to retrieve the footage.
Hatano: ok can you send it to me so i know what we're up against.
Ise: ok, just be prepared for the worst.
Hatano: ok.
[ise sends hatano the footage]
Hatano: ok i'll look this over.
Ise: ok.
[hatano hangs up]
Hatano: Ok, now let's see what kind of strand Inaba's henchmen has.
[hatano sees the footage and notices that saito has a organ strand]
Hatano: they have an organ strand.
[hatano runs to yoichi,yadara and narimo]
Hatano: Yoichi, kids, I need to tell you something.
Yoichi: What's wrong?.
Hatano: one of Inaba's henchmen has an organ strand.
[yoichi looks at hatano surprised]
Yoichi: what?.
Yadara: So what is an organ strand?.
Narimo: yeah what is it?, It sounds pretty powerful.
Hatano: It is, it can manipulate any organic material.
Yadara: Wait, so it's basically blood manipulation.
Hatano: in easier terms, yes.
Narimo: ok, so when are we going back into the city.
Hatano: as soon as we can.
