Somewhere far away in the cold petrifying lands of the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic in the Soviet Union.
An old castle, probably reminiscent of the Tsar Katherine days of Russia laid firmly in tact. The exterior was covered in white patches of snow and the windows were frosted. The castle stood tall at 200 m and occupied around a generous 1km^2 in base area. The castle had old medieval era decorations inside with multiple rooms and a main dining hall where meetings were once held.
The sounds of crows cawking and the cold Siberian winds were the only things contributing to the ambience outside.
The sounds of footsteps echoed brilliantly throughout the main lobby as a man of a large build walked upstairs. The man wore a red cape like coat with a embroidery of the Castle's Emblem. The man looked old from his grey hair but seems like he was well built as the suit was showing some shoulder muscle definition. The man wore an awkward face mask in the symbol of " ☢️".
As he walked upstairs, portraits of an athletic built man with horns and a traditional Japanese yukara were plastered on the walls everywhere and the moon was always in the background, the man had one horn that was present in all potraits. It's unknown who this man is.
Once arrived at the top floor, the man heads over towards a room and knocks on it and without any permission, enters the room.
The man walks infront of the open window and stands with his back facing the window and the man giving a light bow.
"Nakamura...", a strong yet soft feminine voice replies from the shadow.
"Yes, your highness...," Nakamura responds in a respectful manner by bowing down on one foot.
"What is the current situation...?," the Lady asks Nakamura calmly without showing herself.
"Sora Makizushi has been taken into custody by Victorious Vannathan Voltage and a few other commanders... They'll be arriving shortly...," Nakamura responds without any sweat visible. It seems him and the Lady maintains a well respectful relationship even though she seems to be the Commanding Officer here.
"Marvellous... Just as how I wanted it to play out... Though, I'd say Sora will cause you some ruckus. He is a feisty one...," The Lady says with an amused tone.
"I guarantee you. There won't be any unsubordination from him... As long as I'm around... There is no one stronger than me," Nakamura replies with a confident tone as he stands up straight.
"Ah? What about that middle aged man, Hasuke Reiji? Last time I remember, he left you in a bad situation," the Lady jeered at Nakamura but in a light hearted way.
Nakamura twitched for a second and then he replied confidently:
"Hasuke won't be a problem anymore... He's a relic of the past... I doubt the PPA would want him back after what he did over two decades ago..."
A loud crash is heard downstairs in the castle.
"It seems our phase one in our plan is complete...," the Lady responds to the sounds coming from downstairs.
"It seems so, your Majesty...," Nakamura responds.
In the main dining hall.
"Ah, fuck you, did you have to make the landing that difficult!," Victor complains as he groans in pain from the Glitch Portal landing.
Victor pushes the unconscious Sora off him as it was weighing him down.
Meanwhile, Adrik jumped out of his Glitch Portal with an ecstatic:
"Yippee!"
And also crash lands but gets up, dusting off some dirt off his magician clothes.
"Welp, the mission is all done...," Glitchy says as he rips through the wall, having used a special glitch in the world to travel back.
Glitchy wore a black P cap, a mask and a hoodie, having a chill expression on his face.
"Yo, why you looking pissed?," Glitchy asks Victor who is seemingly mad.
"Aha! I know! He's pissed that he had to agree to my terms back on the rooftop ehehe~," Adrik snickers as he bears a smug smile on his face.
Victor gets furious as blood starts popping all over his face and he replies with a grin:
"I will fucking fry your brains once I recover you son of an inbred frea-,"
"Silence."
Nakamura says in a powerful deep tone as he stands right behind Victor without being detected.
"Oh- um, Nakamura... Uh, we got Sora!," Victor replies with a hurried expression as he grabs Sora's unconscious body and faces it towards Nakamura.
"You underperformed for a Second Commander...," Nakamura scoffs as he looks down at Victor.
Victor's expression dims and he sighs.
"I understand you had an equal skirmish with Megumi Mizu, who in her own right is a strong woman herself, but you held back your true power. You don't seem to truly realise who you are and what you possess... You waste potential...," Nakamura scolds Victor with a disappointed tone and he looks towards Adrik and Glitchy.
"And I'm sorry to call you both on a short notice, but thank you for saving Victor and bringing Sora alive here...," Nakamura says still in that deep calm voice.
"No problemo ehe~," Adrik says as extends his arm towards Nakamura who stares it down.
"Ah, your Dark Clown Senzai Art. It manipulates Biological Matter with a hint of Magic...," Nakamura comments without shaking his hand.
"Huh, how didya figure~," Adrik grins in creepy way as he pulls his arm back.
"You fool! He's Nakamura! The fucking strongest man on this damn planet. He has decades of fighting experience and expertise in Senzai. He can easily find your weaknesses and assess your technique!," Victor lashes out on Adrik for being a bit immature with a high ranked Commander.
"Oh well :p," Adrik says as he shrugs.
Nakamura doesn't seemed to care about it but Victor looked furious with the unsubordination.
"Nakamura! You gotta do something about this shit!," Victor complains to Nakamura in pure hatred for Adrik.
"It's something between you and him. I don't care...," Nakamura responds as he grabs Sora in one arm and walks away to a different room.
Glitchy laughs for a second but immediately coughs and regains his composure by whistling and looking away.
Adrik still kept that smug cocky face as Victor looked helplessly at Nakamura and Victor sighs in defeat. What a little gremlin Adrik was.
Meanwhile, back in Shinjuku, in the local Hospital.
Megumi was confined to a cold hospital bed with Bandages all over her body due to the centipedal bites. She had a drip on her, probably to counter any infection from the centipedes.
Megumi groans in disappointment and Yoru suddenly walks in the room, wearing a face mask as per hospital protocols.
"Hey... Megumi, how are you feeling?," Yoru asks calmly with a look of concern over her face as Yoru grabs a nearby stool and sits on it.
Megumi gently smiles at some company and replies:
"A bit better, but I am sorry Miss Yoru... I couldn't stop them...,"
"It's fine... We can always try again," Yoru says as she tries to reassure Megumi.
Megumi sighs and looks towards the ceiling while still confined to the bed.
"It's just... I thought I could take down Victor and the other henchmen... But I was already exhausted out of Senzai... And I paid the price for it ...," Megumi says remembering the fight moments.
"Again, I'm telling you, Megumi, it's alright...," Yoru says with a slightly stern tone, probably trying to avoid talking about what happened.
A knock is heard and Hasuke Reiji walks in wearing black sunglasses and a bouquet of flowers with a note written on it.
"I had finished teaching my students earlier so I could visit you, Megumi...," Hasuke says as he lays the bouquet against the wall on the table adjacent to it.
"Thanks for coming, Hasuke...," Yoru says as she gently smiles at Hasuke's kind act.
Megumi looks at Hasuke and sighs.
"You look old heh," Megumi remarks at Hasuke's appearance.
"Megumi! You gotta be kinder!," Yoru replies hurriedly in a shock from Megumi's random compliment.
"It's fine eh... I am already going to push my 50s...," Hasuke replies shrugging at Megumi's comment.
"But again...," Hasuke continues as he looks outside the window:
"It seems like this won't be the last of the attacks the New Faith would conduct... Maybe the future infront of us holds a sinister uncertainty... I just wonder what they are planning for us..."
Yoru just contently smiles as she looks at Hasuke and Megumi nervously gulps.
