[Opening Theme MELL- Red Fraction]

Title: A date with destruction

[Opening Scene]

The skidoos closed in on the Lagoon. Dutch dipped and swerved the Lagoon as he did his best to evade the men. Rock rushed below deck while Revy got ready to take on the men up top. Three skidoos pulled along the left side of the lagoon; two men boarded the Lagoon, guns in hand and hurried below deck where the rest of the crew was. In an instant Revy jumped off the Lagoon and onto the back of one of the men's skidoo. She put her Cutlass to the man's head and pulled the trigger. The bullet drilled into the guy's skull shredding his brain. She dumped his body over the side and commandeered the Jet Ski. Revy braked hard and dropped back to trail position of the other six men following the Lagoon. Her arms extended to both sides holding her pistols and let loose. She emptied her first clip into the one of men's skidoo. It burst into flames and rapidly sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Black smoke and debris covered the water as she sped forward to the next victim. He lifted his machine gun and put it behind him. It rattled out shells as he tried to stop her but trying to control the skidoo and his machine gun was just too much. Revy hopped on top of her seat and pulled forward in front of the man. She spun her pistols in front of her and emptied her other clip into the man's chest. Blood squirted out like a fountain; the skidoo stopped dead in the water as the man hunched over the controls and died.

"Rock close the door behind me and lock it!" Dutch called out. "Benny close off your area too" Dutch carried his shotgun as he slowly moved away from the cabin and towards the shipping bay. He heard sounds of men breaking open the shipment crates he just loaded. Dutch peered around the corner only to see woman planting something within the crate.

"Talia, six o'clock!" One of the men shouted. She looked back and caught a glimpse of Dutch eyeing her.

"Hold him off as I finish up." She said

The two men started firing out at the door. Dutch hid back behind the wall. Clink Clank the bullets sounded as they ricocheted off the metal. Dutch popped out and fired maiming one of the men in the shoulder. He fell to the ground and crawled behind a tipped over table.

"All done here, let's get out of here Archer" Talia said as she ran out of the other door. Archer grabbed the wounded man and dragged him out of the room still firing at the door.

Dutch slowly moved in and approached the opened one of the crates she was messing with. There was a brick of C-4 planted with a timer set for three minutes. He grabbed the crates and headed back topside. Revy was just finishing the rest of the men off when she noticed the three men who boarded the Lagoon jumped back on their skidoo's and backed away from the boat. Revy got back on the Lagoon and then saw Dutch dumping the crates overboard.

"Dutch what the hell are you doing? That's our fucking payment!" she snarled.

"Revy, get your ass over here and help me dump the rest of the crates their wired to explode." He ordered.

"God damn it!"

Revy helped dump the crates overboard. Their payment sunk to the bottom of the clear blue ocean. A loud rumble shook the boat moments later followed by a massive explosion within the water. Revy fell backwards onto the boat as she panted from exhaustion from the skirmish she just went through. Dutch went back to the cabin and took back control of Lagoon and headed back home. Rock went topside with to check on Revy while Benny monitored the radio communication between Chang and Balalaika.

"Revy who were those men?" Rock asked.

"I don't know but there's one thing I do know Sis has some major fucking explaining to do"

While the Lagoon headed back to the docks war was still erupting in Roanapur. Chang was pinned down but major gunfire, suddenly it became quiet. The gunfire ceased and it was at that point Chang had his chance to escape. He gathered the rest of his men and escaped through the alleyways and back to Hotel Moscow's office. A loud whoosh enveloped all sound within a one block radius. The shipments of weapons were just completely blown up. Orange and red illuminated the sky then followed a mushroom cloud of black smoke.

Balalaika was facing the same difficulties with not being able to see the enemy. Her defense line was spread thin and her men were taking casualties. The gunfire stopped a few minutes later. Out walked Chriton with several groups of men; they were holding improved weapons and wearing different types of body armor. Balalaika was out gunned and out manned by this new comer.

"Don't fire men" Chriton ordered. "Listen Ms. Balalaika go back to your office and help your men out, you'll be getting phone call from me within a two weeks. Now go before I change my mind" he said quickly as he vanished back into the jungle with his men.

Balalaika was out matched and out maneuvered this time. She underestimated her opponent and thought she could take him on with just a few of her men but she was wrong. This will be on the only time she will be wrong. She got to her feet and helped up her men and headed back to her office.

"Chriton do you really think it's wise for us to let her go like that?" asked Jones.

"It does seem foolish but, she is our future investment. You saw the way she looked at me didn't you? She was pissed. That was her first mistake in a long time. She felt like a fool but now she knows for a fact that underestimating me is not an option."

"Jones get back to the airfield and help your men unload the merchandise from the Phoenix. Afterwards get on the horn and call our contacts in China and ask them when the next load of weapons will get here." Chriton said as he left the ambush site. "I've got to get ready for tomorrow. It's going to be a big day for me; I've got a date to arrange."

Tomorrow came quickly for Chriton. He arose to the sound of helicopters dropping off several crates of Chinese crates. He walked over to his window to see many of the Phoenix troops scurrying about getting the base of operations working. Walking out of his room he noticed Archer and Talia sleeping on the couch with a half drunken beer bottle. The sunlight pierced the glass and gave off a brown tint to the floor. Donny was sipping coffee going over the shipment manuscripts. Chriton paused and took a look around; he noticed that this day was going to be a good day. The shipments came in on time and he was going to be the new provider for Roanapur's weapons issue. He woke up Talia and told her to get ready to go into town.

"Chriton, its fucking 6am are you crazy nothing's opened at this time. I'm going back to sleep."

"Get your ass up Talia! We're meeting the Lagoon Company today and I want to be early because I'm sure they'll be going to Hotel Moscow today and I want to catch that woman before she goes" he said as he left the living room and went into the shower.

Her eyes widen as she heard about the shipping company. She shot up off the couch and pushed Chriton out of the way of the shower and jumped in first. Talia knew the meeting of this woman is going to be something interesting especially if Chriton finds her attractive. Chriton had weird taste in women, he only chose deadly women and there hasn't been any since he met Talia. She wanted to be cleaned, ready and on top of her game when she met her. A challenge for Talia doesn't come around often. Chriton scratched his head and thought nothing of Talia's odd behavior and moved to his room instead and prepped his clothes for after he took a shower. Black slacks with a white under shirt then a black collared dress shirt with a Kevlar mesh jacket and finally his black Oakley sunglasses. Next to his clothes he disassembled his two colt .45's and greased them up making sure everything slid in precisely. "No mistakes" he mumbled and continued on. He heard the shower stop soon after he finished putting together his weapons. He hopped into the shower and got ready to go into town.

[7am Lagoon Shipping Company]

Rock got up on time as always and walked out to the kitchen. To his surprise he saw Revy bandaging the cuts on her body from the skirmish on the boat yesterday. She looked as if she wasn't in a pleasant mood like always; then again perhaps it was the effects of the vodka sitting on the table she was sipping every now and then since they got back. He and she were the only ones up and he had a lot on his mind; from the encounter with the strange man from the Rip off church to the battle on the Lagoon. Something just didn't add up with him. He knew that Hotel Moscow and The Triad were the major powers in Roanapur, how could just one man throw them for a loop?

"So what's on the list for today Revy?" Rock asked.

"After Dutch wakes up, which should be soon we're going over to Hotel Moscow and interrogate the shit out of them for answer on what happened yesterday." her voice got louder " They fucking better not give us the need to know basis bullshit. We accepted a contract without even a little background information and the Lagoon was almost destroyed. In my book that right there is something that just… doesn't… happen"

She threw away the first aid kit having used whatever was left in it and snagged the bottle of vodka off the table and started chugging it as she left the kitchen. She walked pass Rock shoving him out of the way and went down the hallway to her room and slammed the door. Just then there was a ring at the door.

"Who could be that and this time?" Rock said.

"Lagoon Company" he answered.

"Yes, this is a representative of the Phoenix Arms Corporation. We would like to come up and discuss a mission for you" the voice responded.

"Alright, please wait down there as I wake my boss"

Rock turned around to only see Dutch standing behind him staring at the door. He had the same face as he did when they were coming from Hotel Moscow.

"That's the man from the Rip Off church we saw. Let him in and go get Revy and tell her to be ready." Dutch said.

Rock Buzzed in Chriton and zipped to Revy's room. Dutch opened the front door a crack and took a seat on the couch. In walked a woman dressed in camouflage pants and a tight fitting tank top. Her hair was black and cut shoulder length in the back with the front of her hair draping over her face covering one her eyes. Dutch noticed she was carrying a type of AK-47 he has never seen before along with a foreign pistol strapped around her thigh. Then in walked Chriton with his black suit and black sunglasses. He had a 4 o'clock shadow going and his hair slicked back just like yesterday's meeting. He took a seat in the chair in front of Dutch while Talia stood to the right of Chriton.

"Good morning Mr.?"

"Call me Dutch, and what brings you to our company?"

Chriton cleared his throat and begun "Yesterday when I left you and your crew along with Mr. Chang you took off with two shipments of shit grade weapons from the Rip off Church. My men and I ambushed the both of you. I even managed to get the drop on Ms. Balalaika when she was coming with her men to shut me down."

"Mhm" Dutch said as he placed his palms on his legs.

"We stopped the shipment from ever reaching Hotel Moscow. Mr. Chang is alright and so is Ms. Balalaika. It turns out my men did have trouble taking on you and your men which isn't surprising. They said that a female was able to kill 4 of my men. Now you see my men are highly trained ex foreign legion, Israeli commando, and Chinese special ops mother fuckers. To be gunned down by a female takes a great deal of prowess as well as quick hands with a gun. I've come to see that female today and ask her out on a date."

Dutch chuckled a bit and replied. "First of all your date will not be happening with her because once you start shooting at her you better kill her or else she'll kill you. Second of all ambushing us is not a good idea because I want payback from what you did to my boat. And…"

Chriton interrupted "Of course you want payback and I'm more than willing to give you the money to repair your boat but you see I'm not leaving without talking to that woman, but this is besides the point of why I came here. I came here to offer you a well paid job. A shipment of new weapons will be delivered to Hotel Moscow and The Triad within two weeks. I would like you to drop them off with them. I shall accompany you during both trips to see that everything goes according plans."

"I still don't like how we were ambushed and my boat is in bad shape but with the amount of money you're going to offer me to make these shipments I'm willing to look forward and not towards the past. Revy it's ok to come out now you won't need to kill him."

Out came Revy with her cutlass in hand. One pointed at Talia and the other pointed at Chriton. Chriton got up slowly and looked over at Revy and motioned to Talia to ease off her trigger. Revy slowly walked in never dropping her guard and went over by Dutch. Rock followed Revy closely behind her and Benny too.

"Revy, I like that name" Chriton said while looking directly at her. "You are a fucking amazing sight"

"What the fuck is this guy talking about Dutch? And why can't I put a hole in this pricks head?" Revy said.

"Well Revy seems like we've been offered a very lucrative paying job. Our employer may not be well liked at the moment but I've got a good feeling that the money he'll be paying us will able to take care of our problems on the Lagoon and our weapons easily"

"That's right Dutch; I'm offering you $200,000 for 2 shipments. 100k each, a simple task for a company of great prestige. Then there's the extra $50,000 for my other request."

Rock and Benny's mouth hung open along with Revy's. They were surprised by how much money was being offered for a 2 shipments. Though just like all job offers there's a catch. Revy holstered her guns and took a seat on the arm of the couch clearing out her finger nails with a toothpick,

"You've got yourself a deal Chriton, in a week and a half give me a call and tell me where to pick up the shipment." Dutch said as he got up and proceeded to leave the room.

"Oh yeah Revy, give Chriton here some of your time if you don't mind. There's and extra 50k in it for you."

"What the fuck are you talking about? I'm not going to fucking talk to this piece of shit. I want to fucking shoot him."

Revy looked at Chriton as he told Talia to go wait outside. Rock sat on the couch facing Chriton as Revy slipped down the arm of the couch to hear what he had to say. Chriton got a bit more comfortable as Revy continued to ignore him.

"So Rock what brings you to this company? You seem like a straight laced guy what could you possibly do for this company that they can't do already?" Chriton laughed.

"I do a lot for this company. I give them more of a business look then a pirate mercenary look. I help out with the shipments and provide good ideas in tight situations. What do you want with Revy?" he asked.

"That's between me and Revy but if you must know I was hoping to take her out on a date" he responded following with a smile at Revy.

"You're joking right? You want to fucking hold my hand and take me shopping or some bullshit, huh? Do you want to take me the movies and do what my heart desires and that shit? Well here's what my heart desires, why don't you take that Colt .45 stick it in your mouth and pull the trigger because if you honestly think your getting to go out with me you're out of your fucking mind." She flicked the tooth pick and away and got up "You must've thought I was going to fall into your arms like some Hollywood romantic comedy and tell you to sweep me away from this place. Pssh you're fucking retarded."

"Please don't go" he said trying to stop her from leaving the room "It's nothing like that it's just I don't get to meet a lot of women such as yourself and I wanted to take the time to know who you are. I just thought that maybe you'd be interested in seeing a few new prototype weapons I have and then firing off a few of them and possibly eating something with me, that's all I wanted, I swear"

"What kind of guns you got?" she asked with a slight interest in the date.

Rock chimed in "you can't be actually thinking of taking him up on his offer. You don't even know him."

"Last time I checked Rock you weren't my mother. So sit down and shut the fuck up" Revy said.

"Well Revy I have all new types of guns provided by my various clients; something that you have yet to see before." He said with a grin on his face.

"Well now you're talking. I'll meet you at your stupid airfield in a few hours, I'm going back to get some sleep. Oh and Chriton, if you plan to get all romantic on me and kiss me or some bullshit I'll kill you so fast you won't even have time to blink" She left the room leaving Rock, Benny and Chriton to themselves.

"Oh man you've got to be kidding. Man I've never once seen Revy go on a date with a guy before. This is fucking hilarious. You've got to be either insane or something like Revy to deal with her shit. Good luck with this one man you'll need it." Benny said sarcastically and went into the kitchen.

Rock just stared at Chriton and didn't say anything. There was tension growing between those two. It was as if Rock was displeased by the fact Revy accepted the date and that she seemed somewhat excited to go on this so called "date".

"I hope I'm not stepping on your toes Rock" Chriton said.

The words struck Rock in a place where he didn't think it existed. "No, not at all, why should I care about what Revy does? It's none of my concern just…" he paused "Don't mess with her." Rock got up and went outside to the hallway.

Chriton got up and left the room and headed downstairs to where Talia was. She was waiting in the car for him. He got in a drove away heading back to camp.

"So what did she say?" Talia asked.

"She said she would. She's got some spice to her which is what I like. This is going to be fun"

"So we drove all the way here just for you to ask out some woman? What a waste of my time and here I thought I was going to get to kill someone. Now, don't you think it's unwise to be going on a date at this time? We still need to deal with the Rip off Church." She mentioned.

"Don't worry Talia we're going to take care of that now. We need to have that place destroyed before I call Balalaika. Can't have anyone making counter offers against what I have to offer. I'm on top of things Talia; this will not get in the way of our plans."

After a thirty minute drive out of the city they arrived back at the airfield. Chriton got out with Talia and got on his walkie-talkie and ordered Commander Jones and second in command into his office in ten minutes. He told Talia to get Archer and Donny then meet him in the conference room. Everyone was in hurry now to get to the conference room. Chriton went into his office and pulled out the map of Roanapur and placed it on his table along with a few key items. His office was in an old hanger designed to house larger bombers back in world war two. In walked Jones and his second in command Captain Serkovsky along with Archer, Donny and Talia. They took a seat at the table and begun to review the plans for the destruction of the Rip off Church.

"Alright everybody this will be a quick blow to the Rip off Church's dealings within the area. There is only two ways in and out of this place." He placed his maker at the water "their new docks they put in a few weeks ago is one of them. We strike with the Kasatka gunship we received from our buddies in Kosovo." He then points to a bridge on the outlying river surrounding the church. "This is the primary entrance to the church right here. After we've blown up the docks we move in to destroy the church. Expect heavy resistance from the people from within. Remember we are dealing with an arms company so be prepared to take on casualties from rocket weaponry but if we're lucky will get them by surprise. After we've dealt with the people Jones and half of his men will fall back across the bridge to ensure no one else besides his men or Talia and Archer go back over the bridge. Donny will be flying cover in the Kasatka. Talia and Archer will plant C-4 on the main struts holding the Church up then move back across the bridge then blow it." Chriton then moved the Kasatka gunship piece right on the church "Then Donny will then drop everything he has within the area, it will be supported by an air strike on loan from us from the Chinese air force. It will use a surgical strike on entire region where the church laid. Afterwards we fall back to the airfield and call it a day. Questions?"

Jones raised his hand "How will we know when the air strike is coming?"

"After the Donny drops the payload it he will then tell everyone to clear the area of the incoming air strike. You do so and from a safe distance you watch the fireworks. I want to leave a squad of your men behind a before you return home to do some mop up if there happens to be anyone left on the island" Chriton responded. "Is everyone clear on what they have to do?"

"We get you sir" they all said in unison.

They all left the room while Chriton put away the material and got ready for his date. Things were happening proceeding on schedule as planned.

[Meanwhile back in Roanapur]

Dutch and the gang arrived at Hotel Moscow. They headed up the elevator into Balalaika's office. She was there with her men discussing something. Chang was sitting with his two guards reading the paper. Dutch walked over to Balalaika's desk.

"So what happen yesterday? We heard you were ambushed by Chriton and his men."

"Indeed we were. It just happened so fast. We were surrounded within minutes. We didn't have time to set up defensive perimeter. He struck quickly and I thought I could easily get rid of him. But no matter I'm already planning a strike back at his airfield within the next few weeks. It was mistake on his part to let me live, he shall see the downside to his decision." She said while finishing up her conversation with her Lieutenant. She dismissed him and his men. They went outside to the office to the other while she chatted with Dutch for awhile.

"So our compensation has been handled for yesterday?"

"Yes it has been Dutch, already wired it over a few hours ago"

"Good. So…" he began but was soon cut off by Revy.

"What the fuck sis? Where did this guy come from? We were ambushed as well. I fucking managed to take out a few of his men but that didn't stop them from blowing up the crates we got for you. Were we some piece of shit decoy for you to make sure that your gut feeling was right? Huh?"

"Easy Revy we certainly don't need your mouth ruining our Hotel Moscow relationship" Dutch whispered to her as he held her back from striking Balalaika.

"It's ok Dutch she has the right to be mad, but next time Revy speak to me in a calm manner or else I'll put you down like stray dog."

"To answer your first question Revy here it is." She tossed the dossier on the table to Revy that she got from Chang. "The man goes by the name of Chriton, no last name recorded. He's ex military and has done training in the Russian Spetsnaz unit as well as British SAS. He was discharged from the American military due to a conspiracy to overthrow his commanding officer. Though there wasn't enough evidence to put him in jail they barred him from every branch of the military. That was a few years back; after the military he sought refuge in several countries. He helped Venezuelan militant groups do terrorist acts all throughout South America. He then moved to the United Kingdom and bombed several embassies by himself. After Interpol got a whiff of his tracks they notified the CIA. The CIA then tried to capture him in Slovakia but he managed to escape killing the all of the men that were sent to capture him. Thinking he died in a botched bank robbery in Paris a year ago he popped up on the radar about two weeks ago in Serbia dealing with Serbians supplying prototype weaponry against the NATO forces and Yugoslavian military. He then broke an agreement with the Serbians and took off with the money and prototype weapons and he's now here planning to set up shop."

Revy glanced through the rest of the dossier viewing the pictures of the dead bodies they retrieved from each country. She then gave the dossier to Dutch and the rest of the group. Rock started to feel sick to his stomach and excused himself from the room.

"Yes Revy this guy is the real deal; a true psychopath and what makes things worse is that he is military. Lastly Revy the answer is no. He just anticipated there were going to be two shipments and turns out he was right. So if you don't mind Mr. Chang and I have some private things to discuss." Benny and Dutch left the room. Revy walked passed Chang but was stopped by his hand placed on her shoulder. He whispered to her.

"Keep your guard up Revy. You may want to kill him as much as he wants to kill you but he'll do it slowly. Oh and try not to fall for this guy" He said with a smile.

She glared at him pushed his hand off her shoulder. She was annoyed by the fact that people were thinking that she would let her guard down let alone let someone in.

The sun was high in sky and it was becoming another hot day. The Yellow Flag was full of all the locals, even Eda and Shenhua were there. Benny pulled the car around the back. Dutch told everyone to have a drink for awhile he had some business to handle. They walked inside and sat at the bar. Eda came strolling over and plopped herself down right next to Revy.

"Hey sis how you've been?"

"I heard there was a lot of commotion last night. I heard that Mr. Chang of the Triad was ambushed along with Ms. Balalaika by the new guy." She said as she downed another shot of bourbon. "Turns out this guy plans to put us out of business. What a cocky mother fucker. I bet he can't even supply what we have. I give him a week tops before someone kills him off."

Her face was red and Revy could tell she was drunk.

"Yeah, speaking of that new guy I'm seeing him later on today." She said while she poured a shot of Bacardi for herself.

"Oh is that a fact." Eda grinned "Well I guess sailor boy is a no go huh? It's ok Revy I knew he wasn't into you like that but don't you worry I'll take good care of him while you're on your d…d…date" the words fell out of her mouth as she dropped to the ground laughing.

"Don't you fucking touch Rock you fucking dirty whore!" Revy threw the shot glass across the room.

"Revy calm down she didn't mean anything by it. She's drunk don't mind the things that come out of her mouth" Rock said as he stood up off the chair.

"Shut the fuck up Rook, no one was speaking to you!"

Eda got up drawing her gun out waving it in the air like a little child. The people in the bar chanted "bitch brawl". Several people crowded around Revy and Eda encircling them. Revy threw the first punch, it landed directly on Eda's chin. She stumbled backwards knocking chairs out of the way. She came back with a solid blow to Revy's stomach. The fight escalated into something you'd see in the OK Corral. Drunks began fighting other drunks. Benny and Rock hid behind the bar.

"Revy you owe me big again if there is any damage to my bar" the bartender shouted.

"I don't get it Benny what is with Revy?" Rock said.

"Don't worry about it Rock. She's got the some personal issues. That's a woman for you" Benny replied.

"What the fuck did you say?" Revy said reaching around the bar pulling Benny's head up by his hair.

He waved his hands slowly and in joking manner "Nothing, nothing I was just kidding around isn't that right Rock?"

"Yeah, Revy he meant nothing by it, honest."

"I thought I told you to shut your fucking mouth Rock. You've always got to say something. One day you're going to say something and…" Revy was interrupted by Dutch as he grabbed her by one leg and drugged her outside. He tossed her outside on the ground.

"What the fuck Dutch I wasn't done in there." She yelled.

"It's 3pm. You need to get going to the airfield to see Chriton."

"Fuck him, I'm busy"

"Listen Revy I know you're going through some personal shit but honestly I don't care. You go and start a fight over Rock, what the fuck is that about? You know what don't answer that because I sure as hell don't want to know. Sort out your shit before you come back to the house and sober up while you're at it." Dutch said as he waived down a taxi.

He picked her up and tossed her into the car and told the driver where to go. The taxi sped off quickly.

"Women" Dutch grunted.

[The airfield]

[Troops running about getting into vehicles getting ready for the strike]

The Taxi approached the gates and stopped. Two armed men approached the taxi.

"State your reason for being here" one of the guards said.

"Tell Chriton Revy is here to see him"

The guard went back his booth and phoned Chriton. The gates opened up. That taxi drove inside and parked by the control tower. Out walked Chriton and Talia. Talia kept walking pass the taxi and onto one of the troop carriers. A convoy of trucks rolled out through the gates followed by a gunship. Chriton opened the taxi door and Revy got out.

"It's about time you showed up. I had a feeling you weren't going to."

"Yeah well I got busy with a few things and lost track of time."

He smiled "Of course, well I guess I'll show you around"

They walked around the airfield. He told her about that is an ideal space for his company and was surprised it wasn't occupied. They went to an empty hangar where a firing range was step up several crates. He walked over to the crates and opened one of them. He pulled a G36 German Machine Gun. Still a working prototype with dual drum clip.

"See this Revy; this is something the Germans are still making. It has only been offered to Special Forces. It has yet to be used by the local police." He said as he handed the gun to her.

"The barrel is cooled instantly after fired so heating up isn't a big deal. With this dual drum clip you're able to take on a platoon of guys without having to reload for awhile. The gun itself has a range up 175 yard radius. With an optional banana clip, silencer and scope this gun can be used as an optimal automatic sniper rifle. There are 3 firing settings and 7.62mm rounds. Try it out."

She placed the gun down on the ground with the bipod stand. She pulled the trigger. The gun rattled out about 80 rounds within in 6 seconds. She stopped and felt the barrel. Ice cold, it was as if it hadn't been fired yet.

"That's fucking wild man. I never have seen a gun like this before. It works so well and has a great accuracy rate on automatic. What else you got?" she asked getting exciting for the next weapon.

The next weapon he pulled out was two 9mm pistols. They were the same model as Revy's Cutlass but with added amenities.

"With an added silencer and extended clip and the ability to turn out automatic with the flip of a switch this Cutlass is the younger brother of your Cutlass."

He extended his arm and fired off into the hanger nailing three targets. "The disadvantage to this gun is that the clips are bigger and has a tendency to loose accuracy when firing automatically for long periods of time."

"Those are great Chriton but I'll stick to my semi automatics. Thank you very much. Come on now Chriton quit bullshitting around I know you have something big to show" she rubbed her hands together anticipating the next gun.

"Ok here it is; the working prototype of the Chinese Pulse Rifle. Equipped with 4 barrels and a clip that can hold up to 220 rounds this bad boy puts an AK-47 to shame. It has a folding stock and Hydra Vision scope as well as laser accuracy with the night vision laser too."

Revy drooled over the weapon. It was a dream rifle as if it was made for the future. She held it feeling only power within her hands. She unfolded the stock and placed it firmly against her shoulder. She pulled the trigger and all hell broke loose. The gun made the noise of what a mini gun would make. There was no heating up at all but the accuracy was about 70/100 which was great for a prototype.

"I had a feeling you were going to like that. Yeah I'm really lucky to get a hold of something like this. Too bad I only have ten. With a full shipment of these I could easily arm all of my men with these and they could take out anything."

"You want to hear something funny Chriton?" Revy asked

"What?"

"At first I thought I wasn't going to have a good time here. I could've sworn that I was going to have to put a bullet in your head for trying something with me but I was proven wrong. You have a great set of weapons and you're very knowledgeable about them too and…" she was interrupted by an explosion off in the distance. Black smoke rose from where the explosion went off. A guard came running into the hangar with a radio in hand.

"Sir, you have a report from Commander Jones. The attack has begun"

"What the fuck is going on Chriton? What attack is he talking about?"

"Well Revy I was hoping I wouldn't have to tell you this. So I won't. Sorry about this but we're going to have to cut this encounter short. I hope you had a nice time and all but I have some business to attend to. Please excuse me."

Revy was escorted back to the taxi while Chriton went back to his office. The taxi took off into the jungle and back to the house. Chriton radioed in Talia.

"Are plans proceeding?"

"Yes, Chriton we have engaged in combat with the Rip off Church"

15 miles away from the airfield Jones and his men had begun the attack. The priests and the church had set up two pillboxes at the end of the bridge and were holding off the trucks from crossing. The Donny flew in with the gunship. It whirled over head dropping down to lower altitude to aim for the docks. The rocket pods fired away. The missiles decimated the docks along with the people on it. Troops piled out of the trucks and hid behind them.

"Eda what the hell is going on?" Ricky yelled out

"We're being attack by that new guy and his men. Tell the others to get the shed and pull out all weapons." She said.

Ricky ran outside gathering as many nuns and priests that were still alive. They came out in full force armed to the teeth with grenades and automatic weapons. The gunship hovered over the pillboxes and started to rain bullets down on the pillboxes. It ascended back into the clouds after the pillboxes were silenced. Jones and his troops pushed forward across the bridge. The nuns and priests begun dying left and right; they were being over powered. Eda came out and started firing from behind a granite cross. Ricky came over and went prone with an M60 laying down suppressive fire. Jones men fell to the ground. Their legs crumbled under fire. Blood squirted out covering more of the bridge. Jones told Serkovsky and his men to flank the left of side of the complex with a group of his men. They proceeded down through the river and across to the island.

"Ricky go get the sister Yolanda and take her into the church and escape through the tunnels under confession booth. Once you're out of the tunnels head to the Lagoon Company and make contact with Hotel Moscow. I'll be right behind you" Eda ordered.

Ricky got up and struck out to the main church. Jones closed in on Eda's position keeping her pinned down. The gunship came back dropping whatever it had left in the rocket pods on the barn that was housing all their ammunition. The barn exploded into pieces. Burning pieces of woods came falling down and littered the ground. Serkovsky and Jones encircled Eda. She was low on ammo and had to find a way to escape. Death was closing in on Eda but she was soon saved by the hand of god; Sister Yolanda and her golden Desert Eagle. The explosive shells hit Serkovsky's men and they scattered about.

"Eda you better hurry up because I can't hold them off forever. I only have one clip" head sister shouted.

Eda got up while she could and ran over to the church. They closed the doors behind them and rushed over to the confession booth and assessed the wounds of her friends.

"Talia this is Jones do you read me?"

"Yes Jones five by five."

"Are inside the church?"

"Affirmative, they seem to be treating the wounded. All explosives have been set"

"Roger, proceed out the way you came and we'll begin to fall back"

"Roger, over and out"

Ricky spotted Talia, Archer and Donny with there men finishing up the explosives.

"They're inside!" Ricky exclaimed.

The wounded priests and nuns opened fire upon the benches that hid Talia and her crew. Eda came charging over the benches firing away. A bullet struck Talia's body armor. She fell back but got back up. Eda unloaded a full clip into Talia's body armor but she didn't go down. Archer hit Eda in the back of the head with his gun and pushed Talia towards the back door. One of her men tossed two flash bang grenades and helped Talia out the door. The blinding light and deafening sound stunned them for a few moments. Eda got up and noticed a flashing red light on one of the beams.

"Shit! Everyone into the tunnels now; they've wired this place to explode"

Ricky helped the others into the confession booth and jumped down himself. Eda came rushing over the booth and jumped down. They hurried through the tunnels exiting about 2 miles away from the church. Talia crossed the bridge sat down on by the truck. Archer pulled out the detonator and plunged the hammer down. The windows of the church blew out and so did the doors. The building caught fire but remarkably was still standing. The Kasatka passed over the emptying out its loading chambers of its mini guns on the church. A loud roar startled the men as it came from the sky. The radios came in.

"This is Talon 1 and 2 of the Chinese Air Force. Tell us where you'd like the bunker busters' bombs Tremor team."

"Coordinates zero three Charlie one eight Echo seven five Zulu over"

"Roger that Tremor team"

Another loud roar was heard then a crash. The roof collapsed and within seconds the bomb exploded, the bomb sucked in air and then blew it out. The explosion leveled the building and everything around it. A mushroom cloud appeared it the wake of the destruction. Jones put Talia in the back with the other troops and Archer got into a separate truck and drove back to the airfield following closely behind was Donny leaving a group of men to blow the bridge and secure the area. They returned to the airfield cheering out of their trucks from a mission accomplished. Chriton came outside with a bottle of Champaign giving it to Jones congratulating them. Archer held Talia and dragged her to her room and laid her down on the bed. He took off her body armor to see massive bruises over her chest from the bullets hitting her. Chriton went back inside to check on Talia.

"How's she doing Archer?"

"Well Chriton she has seen better days but she's fine; nothing a good days rest couldn't fix"

"Talia, you rest up you deserve it. With the Rip off Church decommissioned we will have smooth sailing from here" Chriton said then walked out of the room.

[Meanwhile back in city]

The taxi arrived back at the house. Revy got out but was harassed by the driver asking for more money.

"I drove you to and from the airfield and what that man paid me wasn't enough. You owe me money!"

She stared at him "Listen buddy unless you want to go home in a fucking casket you'll get the fuck out of my face now" she said and slammed the door behind her.

While walking up the stairs she noticed a trail of blood leading into the house. She pulled out her guns and slowly walked up the stairs. She kicked open to the door to only see to her surprise Eda and Ricky with the head sister Yolanda and a few priests and nuns. They were all in bad shape. Mr. Chang and Ms. Balalaika were there too assisting in treating the wounded.

"What the fuck happen to you Eda?"

"Chriton is what happen to me oh and the Church, it's been destroyed. So how was your date?"

Revy has just came back from the date with a man of destruction. The shit has just hit the fan for her and everyone in Roanapur.
