Episode 1 Red LaGooN

Fate's POV

This is a business man's world. I snuck in somehow through graduating from state college. I get looked down upon by my supervisors because I'm a woman. But I yearn to take the place of my supervisors so that I can change the way things are done here. In the city of Winter where I live, it's called Tokyo. But that all seems so long ago all that is before me is that Azure of the East China Sea; the calming breeze and the sweet smell of salt air.

*Slap!*

I have never been bitch slapped before but now that I have, I dislike it immensely. The taste of blood is in my mouth. I must've bitten my lip when she slapped me. Her second-in-command aims her gun at my head. Its cold steel is pressed to my temple and I am terrified inside of what is about to happen to me. I am too young to die. I am only in my 20s. There is so much I want to do in this life that is a head of me.

"All right Miss. Japanese business woman. I'm going to ask you again. This is the original data disk and not a copy right? The package you got from your company in Tokyo. The one you're in charge of until you hand it over to the bureau chief in Borneo; your destination. Is that correct?"

The blonde pulled the data disk out of her green vest pocket to emphasis that's what she was talking about.

"Yes, but what could you possibly need with that?"

"That's it. You don't need to know anymore and that's everything were going to ask you."

The brunette with a sideways ponytail looks irritated and her blue eyes seem so cold. "Arisa, this is a pain in the ass. Can't we rough her up a bit? I mean she broke after just slapping her. I mean what else can we actually get out of her by roughing her up more? Maybe even have some fun with her?"

From their ship down below, I heard another female voice yell out to her crew. "Arisa! Arisa are you done yet? There's someone heading in our direction from the Supick. It's probably the Philippine Navy. We might want to get out of here."

"Don't panic, Suzuka girl. Everything's been taken care of, so we're good to go. Get the engine started so we can take off immediately. Okay gentlemen, we are going to disappear and leave you all in tact, but the deals off if anyone decides to come after us. We have torpedoes and are not afraid to use them. Remember that and you'll be free to leave after half an hour."

"We're safe and they're going to let us go unharmed."

"Just what are you getting relaxed over Sweetheart? You're coming with me."

"You're joking right? I'm worthless. I'm just a carrier."

"Shut up and get on our boat." The brunette grabs my arm and halls me onto their ship. I can't believe this is actually happening as their boat is speeding away from the ship that I was once on.

"You're joking, right? This is got to be some kind of nightmare. This can't really be happening. Someone please save me! Don't let them take me! I don't want to die!"

With each second, Japan is getting further and further away and there is nothing I can do to stop it.

Normal POV

"Red LaGooN to Lindy. Come in Lindy, do you read me?"

"Just fine Arisa. Did you acquire the target?"

"Of course we have. Have we ever failed you before?"

"Good job my lovely, Arisa."

"The trade-off will go as planned."

"Yes, just as we had planned and I promise you that everything will go smoothly."

Lindy looks at one of her subordinates after hanging up with Arisa. "Connect me to the Tokyo headquarters of The Asahi Company."

"Today we were contacted by the TSAB regarding the negotiations to return the stolen data disc. That our courier was carrying on the Meramarsia. Her failure in protecting this data disk will not go unpunished. The president of the company has already issued her orders. Both the data disk and its career are to be sanctioned without hesitation."

"But isn't she the president's daughter? How could the president possibly put sanctions against her own daughter? This is insane! How can we, the Board of Directors, agree to this decision?"

"It looks like we have no choice. The president has already put the sanctions in place. We do not have the authority to override this decision."

"Then we leave this in your hands Rinis, but if you fail, the whole mess will rest upon your shoulders. That is the decision the Board of Directors has made."

"Thank you, I will carry out my duties as ordered. I have received information that the data disk has not yet reached the TSAB. I will intercept them and wipe out the Pirates so there is no chance of this happening to us again."

Fate's POV

"Nanoha what do you plan on doing with the hostage? Well I'm waiting?"

"Arisa don't you get it? Will you think about it for a minute? We're only going to get twenty grand for this job! I mean twenty lousy grand and for this job! So what's wrong with us collecting a little extra? I mean the kid's got to be worth something right? I mean if we ransom her off, that's just more money in our pockets."

"Nanoha you're being too simpleminded about this."

"Do you want to die, Suzuka?"

"Not today thank you."

"So who's going to do the negotiations with Japan? You? Do you have the phone number to contact to negotiate her ransom? Do you have the bank account to have it deposited?"

"Fine then! We'll just kill her and then throw her overboard!"

She pulled her gun and aimed it right at me, the same one she had at my head before. Her index finger kept moving back and forth like she was trying to pull the trigger but for some reason she couldn't. Then I think she scared herself when she was able to get off one shot and hit next to my right ear and made me scream.

"Idiot! Don't damage my ship!" The blonde had jumped the brunette girl holding her arm up and locking her in position so she couldn't move.

"Arisa, Arisa, I get it. You can let me go now."

"I can't believe that I'm still alive."

"Let's go topside and get some fresh air. You want a cold one? Looks like you could use it."

We made our way topside and sat in front of the window. I expected Arisa to hand me a bottle of beer, but instead handed me a bottle of something I had never had before; Magners it was an Irish cider. I took a sip. It went down smooth. Next thing I know, I downed the entire bottle and asking for a second. She laughed and handed me a second one without hesitation and started drinking her own. It seems she brought up two for each of us after that scenario below deck.

"So what's going to happen to me now?"

"We'll get a hold of your company somehow and set up the ransom."

"A ransom, huh? I'll never be able to climb the company ladder at this point. This'll go on my permanent record for sure."

"We have our own priorities. The client getting the data disc will have to come first."

"There's a client, but from what I understood, it was just useless information. Nothing of importance."

"Yes, well we're just the delivery service. We've had our run-in with the law from time to time just so we can eat. But that's how we do business."

I guess this is what Stockholm syndrome feels like. It seems like she is the only one that I can trust, which is kind of scary given my situation.

"By the way what's your name?"

"Fate, Fate Testarossa."

Normal POV

"Suzuka there's something wrong with me. I tried to kill her and I hesitated. I never do that. If I point my gun at someone, they die. It's as simple as that, so why? Why was I unable to kill her and put her out of her misery?"

"I don't know Nanoha. Maybe you see something in her that you long for in your life. I mean I have Arisa, but you don't have anyone to share your hopes and fears with. Maybe it's time to start looking for someone who can be there for you. After all, you're not getting any younger."

"One of these days Suzuka, I'm gonna make you eat your words. All of them."

The purple hair girl smiled and she turned back to her computers.

"Is everything ready, have you gotten in contact with the mercenary group yet, and are they on the move yet?"

"Yes ma'am the mercenary group is on the way and will engage them tonight."

"Very well keep me apprised of the situation."

"Yes ma'am."

Fate's POV

Arisa had jumped down onto the dock after the boat had been tied up. She looked back up at me as I was still sitting in the same place as we had our talk earlier. "Let's go Fate."

"Huh?"

The purple hair girl, whose name I had just found out was Suzuka, walked up next to me and then smiled at me. "Yes, let's get going."

"Go, go where?"

"Somewhere to get a drink of course. Don't you want to get something to drink?" Suzuka is now walking away from me as she jumps down onto the dock herself and starts following the others.

"But I thought I was a hostage to be ransomed off?"

She looked over her shoulder with a smile. "Let's go."

"Wait Suzuka! I'm coming too!" I scrambled off the deck of the boat to catch up with them.

As we were driving down the streets I could see bars and brothels as well as places to gamble on both sides of the street. Everywhere I turned, I could see men with guns, women in skimpy clothing and they all seem to fit into this atmosphere that I have found myself in. "But where on earth exactly is this place? I don't understand."

We are now inside of the bar named YELLOWFLAG. There is a woman bartender with long orange hair and a red jewel on her forehead and her skin is the color of caramel. "Why is there a pistol on every table? Is this a Western movie of some kind? Like one of them shoot-up style towns. Is this known as the bar at the end of the world?"

"Not too bad on your analogy. This place was started by the losers of the Vietnam War. They started taking in the deserters too and before we knew it, it went all to hell. Hookers, junkies, mercs, killers… Irredeemable criminals. You dislike it don't you?"

"Japanese pubs… I loved those unguarded smiles. Places like this… I'm not suited for fighting."

"I'll admit you have that kind of face."

Getting up off the barstool, Arisa starts walking over to a doorway. Over her shoulder she calls out, "Suzuka, I'm going to go make a phone call. I'll be right back."

"She's weird that one. Just keep your eyes off from her, she's mine. Don't try and figure her out. I've been trying to do that for years now with no luck." *sighs*

"You seem different from the other two. Where were you before all of this?"

"In the US playing with fire, pissing off the Mafia, the FBI, and the CIA, you name it I got them pissed at me. Then…" Nanoha stepped up next to her waving her gun with a smirk on her face and a glint in her eye.

"I saved her royal ass before she could be used as a weight in a suitcase, or maybe even have some of those fashionable concrete boots. Stop this worthless storytelling. You're not old enough to be reminiscing about the past.

Here's one for you and one for me. We came all the way here for a good drink. Let's talk about something a little cooler, Miss Japanese businesswoman."

"This is?"

"Beers as good as piss, don't you think? No matter how much you drink, you don't get drunk. If you're a real drinker you would drink rum. But if… you're a wuss who can't even take a challenge from me… I won't force you of course. But I'll make you wear a pink skirt, put on red ribbons and take you to a dance party then I'll strip you naked in front of everybody."

"I hate chugging down drinks especially on an empty stomach. But…" The full glass of rum she had put in front of me, I chug down without stopping. "We're forced to drink at company socials. Ogle by our peers and superiors, so don't mock a Japanese businesswoman!"

"You… Hey bartender!" Nanoha was glaring at me mere inches from my face.

In unison we said." Bring all the Bacardi you've got!"

"Geez and I thought you didn't like to fight and Nanoha you may have met your match." Suzuka giggled.

Normal POV

"I see. That's not good. Go on Lindy." Arisa was rubbing her for head.

"I don't trust the Asahi Companies response Arisa. So I left out some bait and a rat took the bite. I'm talking to the little rat right now."

"So do we know who's on the move?"

"Wait a moment I'll get that information for you. Say your owner's name loudly."

"Shinginan's Wan Taikei! Wan Taikei sent an assassin to get you! He sent an assassin to Loa Napula!"

"Here that."

"Yeah. Not good, not good at all."

"Tell me the number and affiliation of those soldiers. Hurry, we're busy."

"Guys from Extra Order; a mercenary contracting agency! I don't know how many there are!"

"The E.O. Company scouts experienced war junkies."

"Just our luck."

"Good luck my friend." Lindy's subordinates aimed their guns at the rat and fired. *Bang… Bang… Bang…*

Mean while out side. "Let's get started." A man with a jagged scar crossed his face and his commandos were outside the bar.

Ting…Ting…Ting… The occupants of the bar looked stunned as they saw three grenades being thrown in the door.

*Bah-BOOM!*

"Ok boys. It's party time."

Machine gun fire riddles the air as bullets go flying hitting everything and everyone not caring who they were killing. As some of the patrons tried to leave they were cut down like a scythe too wheat.

"Give any runners extra assholes boys. Make sure they're only corpses left when we're done."

Fate's POV

The crowd that had gathered around Nanoha and me during our drinking binge had protected us from the initial explosion.

I crawled from around the front of the bar to the back where it was safer, but glass was still flying everywhere as the bullets continued to hit the bottles of booze over my head.

Nanoha was already there with a very angry bartender shouting at her. "Nanoha, if these are your friends then you deal with them."

"I don't know them." She was finishing her drink when she stopped to listen to something. "You've bulletproof the bar."

"It can handle up to a .50 caliber." The bartender seemed proud of this fact.

Arisa started sounding a roll call. "Nanoha!"

"I am alive."

"Suzuka!"

"Miraculously, I'm still alive too." As she went running past Arisa out I'm assuming was a back door.

"How about Fate?"

I couldn't keep it together anymore. I clutched my hands at the sides of my head and started to scream. "Dead! People are dead! I finally graduated from a state college and got into a good company! I actually wanted to be the president of the company some day! This isn't fair!"

Nanoha very calmly readied her guns. "Don't cry Sweetheart. You've got to enjoy life to its fullest. Or you'll end up wasting it all away."

*BOOM!*

"Nanoha! Let's show them why you're named The Two-Handed White Devil!"

I over heard someone outside say. "Check it out. I thought I heard a voice. I hate leaving witnesses or survivors."

"Ha, ha, ha. He says good things. Because I agree with him 100%."

*Bang… Bang…*

Then before I even knew what she was planning to do, Nanoha was over the top of the bar aiming her two guns at the assailants. As she was spinning over the bar, she was pulling the trigger firing. I could hear the moans and groans and grunts of the men she was hitting.

I peeked around the side of the bar to see what was happening. It was a ballet of death. Everything she pointed her guns at died. She never wasted a bullet. She would momentarily land and then be in the air once more spinning, twirling, and somersaulting. I have never seen such dramatic and beautiful display of death.

Then there was firing to my right. It was Arisa giving Nanoha cover as she made her way back over to the other side of the bar. "Go get'em Arisa!" Reloading her guns for another round of her ballet of death.

"Don't come back here you hotheaded bitch! You're such a nuisance. How many times have you destroyed my bar? How many? Huh!"

One of the assailants had jumped up on the bar which caused the bartender to spin around and shot her shotgun directly in his face.

"You owe me for all of this! Or I'll weld your asshole shut and make you a new one in your head!"

"Got it, Arisa!"

'Nanoha is, she's…smiling.'

"Sorry. I think at this rate, trading you is out of the question." Arisa yells at me from the doorway grabbing my attention.

"What's going to happen to me?"

"Well, we didn't make any plans to begin with. What if we just part ways here?"

"That's not fair! I'm going to die! Take me with you!"

"Fine then, just don't pull our leg. Nanoha we're leaving!"

"Got it!" Nanoha uses one of the assailants as a shield as she continues to fire into their midst killing with pinpoint accuracy.

*Bang…Bang… Bang…*

As soon as we step out the back door, Arisa starts firing her gun at two men that were supposed to be covering the back door.

*Bang…Bang…*

The car drives up to the back door that we're going out. Suzuka screams as she opens up the passenger door. "Get in!"

I'm shoved from behind into the back seat as everyone else plows in behind me. Suzuka guns the gas and squeals the tires as we go speeding away. Nanoha leans out the window with something in her hand and tosses it to those that were trying to shoot at us.

"Here you go, you war junkies!"

*Boom!*

"Arisa, Arf was so pissed she looked like a steaming pot. Unless we pay her back, she's going to weld our assholes."

"Scary… makes me want to cry."

"What the hell is this? Is this a movie?"

"Don't be stupid, Sweetheart. This is a lot more entertaining than Hollywood could ever be."

Normal POV

"Captain, 16 dead, 8 wounded. I'm sorry sir. We thought they were punks and underestimated them."

"Shutorm, they're not punks. They're somebody we can go after. All we had to shoot at were old men and brats in Liberia. Too slow and no fight left in them. He… he… he. But these guys are full of fight. I've been waiting for this."

Fate's POV

Back on board the ship, we were speeding away from the docks and the port and those that were chasing us. I was sitting on the floor trying to collect myself from everything that has happened today.

"If we stay at this speed we'll be at the Balawan port by daybreak. We'll meet Lindy there. So Fate, Suzuka is getting in touch with your company."

"You can pull it off if you try, eh?" I could hear Nanoha in the other room.

"If negotiations don't go well, we're going to have to leave you around Malaya. Sorry. There are bandits all around but you shouldn't die immediately. Okay?"

"What?" I stand up in anger and clench my fists. "You bring me this far and you're going to let me die? What is this? After dragging me all over the place, at least take me somewhere safe!"

Nanoha was standing in the doorway with her arms crossed over her ample chest with a smug smile on her face. "Don't get so excited. First you cry, then you want to use us like a taxi?" Moving across the room she pulls her gun.

"All right then." As she points her gun to my head once again. "I can show you what color your brain is so don't push me."

"Wait, please." I was actually afraid that this time she really was going to kill me. The look in her eyes, it was almost the same as inside the bar.

"We are connected. We're using an Assault Dial so it's secure." Suzuka shoots from the back room.

"Here Fate, it's your boss, Mr. Nakamura." Arisa hands me an ear piece.

"Department chief! It's Testarossa, I am very sorry. About the data disc…"

"Don't worry about that anymore. That data disc no longer exists."

"I don't think I understand Sir."

"Because of the situation, I'll tell you the truth. Don't tell anyone else. It's hard to explain, but we were hired to help develop nuclear capabilities for a certain country. The data disk contained those plans. It is troublesome…

Nukes in this day and age. And war…

Eventually I will be at the top and do something about this, but this cannot be made public. Testarossa, for the sake of 50,000 employees of Asahi Company, disappear into the East China Sea. You'll be promoted to chief and we won't treat you badly. And the president and everyone under her will be at your funeral. The professional ruffians should almost be there by now."

Between the booze and what my chief had just told me, I felt sick very, very sick. I ran the top deck hoping that fresh air would help my queasy stomach, but nothing seemed to be helping. If anything, it was getting more and more tied into knots as I was thinking about what was going to happen to me.

My chief suggested that I die the honorable way to help preserve a company that I put my heart and soul into. Not only that, but my mother was the president. How could she do this to me? Does she even know? I know we've been estranged over the years, but I didn't think she would want to go this far as to have me killed because of one screw-up that wasn't even my fault.

Normal POV

"What's my equipment?"

"Fully equipped, Captain. Rockets and machine guns. The more you shoot the more the invoice will be."

"The Japanese are very generous. Let's go!"

Alarms sound as the doors on top of the ship open up and the chopper rises into the air.

Fates POV

I couldn't contain what was in my stomach any longer and ran for the side of the ship. Nanoha was standing there watching me as I emptied my stomach into the ocean wishing I were anywhere but there and wishing I had never taken this assignment that was going to kill me.

"You were ditched pretty easily. I sympathize though. And the ransom bonuses are all gone. Dammit! But is that enough to make you sick?"

"Is that all you can think about is money? They want to kill me. Can't you just leave me alone and let me have some peace before I die." Tears were streaming down my face. My sanity has been pushed to its limits. Will I break or will this make me stronger before I die.

"Nanoha, are you on deck?" I heard Suzuka call up from down below.

"Yeah, what's up?"

"There's something coming straight at us over the ocean, but it's not a boat, it's too fast. At 3 hours and 5 minutes. Can you see anything?"

We both looked to the side of the ship towards the sun. As we squinted to see if we could see better, we both saw the silhouette of an airship. The closer it got, Nanoha screams back down below.

"It's a low altitude assault gunship!"

It went zooming overhead probably 500 feet above our heads. They were probably trying to scare us. I know they were doing a damn good job with me. I was starting to get so fed up with everything that has been going on between the crew of this ship, my company, and now these assailants that are trying to kill me I am just so ready to be over this.

"God dammit!" I could hear Arisa screaming from the cockpit, as she hit the throttle at full speed. "An assault helicopter, we're dead meat?"

Normal POV

"You see them?"

"I don't need to see them, I can smell them."

Fate's POV

"Damn them. Using that to kill me."

"Fate! Hold this!"

Nanoha had thrown an assault rifle at me. I just barely caught it and startled at what I had actually caught, I almost dropped it. "A gun? Don't make me hold this!"

"It won't be more than a comfort, though."

"He's coming. He's on our ass."

"Not good, not good. This isn't good."

The airship opened fire on us spraying a shower of bullets on either side of the ship. I hit the deck and rolled underneath something for cover.

"They're shooting."

"I know it's not good, Arisa." As Nanoha aimed a huge cannon gun to try and hit the attack ship.

"Hit it! Shoot it down!" Fate screamed.

"Shut up! You try it, Sweetheart. Hey Fate, by the way, you're hiding under the torpedo launcher. Don't get blown up."

*Bang… Bang… Bang… Bang…*

"Fate you bitch!"

"I'm done with you crazy bitches." As I'm trying to put on a life-vest "I'm getting off of this boat." My sanity has finally started to crack. I couldn't take the pressure anymore. I had to get away. I had to be anywhere, but here.

Nanoha jumped on top of me and grabbed the front of my shirt and looked like she was about to deck me.

"You impotent son of a bitch! You're gonna to run away?"

"Why do I need to suffer like this?"

Another shower of bullets came streaming down on us. This time just missing us by mere inches. I scream in panic.

Normal POV

"All right, we're just gonna watch from up high."

"But Captain, we can turn them into mincemeat now."

"You don't get it; from head to toe they're in my trap. Don't you want to laugh at them while they cry, howl, and piss themselves?"

Fate's POV

"Dammit!" I pounded my fist into the floor after I had rolled over onto my stomach. "You do and say what ever you want to me! Everyone, even the Department chief…" I pushed myself up off from the deck pushing Nanoha off me. I grabbed the semi automatic rifle that Nanoha had thrown to me earlier. "But why do I need to suffer?" With all of my anger, all of my frustration and all of my strength, I threw that semi automatic rifle into the air towards the gunship.

I felt so helpless standing there on the deck, on the ship knowing there was nothing I could do. I was truly at this point at the mercy of those on the assault helicopter that continued to toy with us.

To be continued…

Authors Notes: That was my take on the first episode. Now I present to you a question. I will be posting a poll on my profile for this question. Do I continue with this storyline or not? Is this something that you my readers are going to want to see continued?

If the answer is Yes, then this will be updated approximately once a month or as soon as I can. If the answer is No then, I will drop this particular mimic story and go on to the next one. I will leave this poll up through two episodes. That means you will have two chapters to decide if it stays or goes.

I have actually put in a lot of work on this that is why I need to know if you want me to continue or not. Please review as well as tell me your answer in my poll as to where I am going with this story.

Poll is closed; view the poll on my profile.

Thank you for your time.

In Love & Light,
