Chapter 2: Preparation

PSICOM HQ

"Sir!" those soldiers saluted

"At ease please" I ordered to them, and they relaxed "so; is there anybody of you who knows why I called you here?"

"No sir!" they answered

"Well I'm going to tell you then…" my voice tone is getting serious.

"I called you here, because I chose you to accompany on a mission" I continued

"A mission?" I could hear them mumbled

"Yes a mission, now I just going to get into the point. The mission starts tomorrow at 900 hours. This mission is going to be the hard one…" as the word "hard" is said, I could hear some gulps from the newbies

"The objective is: Kill Lightning Farron, do you know her?" I announced and asking at the same time

Shock appeared on those soldiers…just like when I heard the order from my commander

30 minutes earlier

"This is going to be a long day…" I sighed, then I began to look at the soldiers I had to accompany me. I decided not to bring all of them, I choose 2 most experienced corporals, and I decided to give some lessons to the rookies, so I choose 3 privates. The privates that I choose have some combat experience though. Then I sent the call through the computer and I just had to wait in the hall, and after about 30 minutes, all had arrived

Present

"Yes sir I know her, she's the former Pulse I'Cie and the ex-sergeant of the Guardian Corps" the answer broke the silence the shocking information

"Good, now maybe some of you know her as a hero for saving Cocoon, and I bet you wonder why should a hero eliminated, but the Sanctum blamed her and her comrades for the loss of many PSICOM members, and they ordered us to kill her" I explained

"Honestly I think her as a hero too, and I don't really like the idea of this mission. But orders are orders, you understand?"

"Yes sir!"

"Very good, now I want you to listen this carefully." As I said this they stopped mumbling and had their ears on

"Although our target is a former I'Cie, she still retains her power, and thus is very dangerous, so you must follow of my orders and we stick together at all times, understand?" they nodded in response

"And I want to say that, if the situation gets bad, I want you to escape as fast as possible. I'll hold the target as long as i can to buy some time for you to escape." Knowing that I'm going to protect them made relief shows on their faces, as they quite acknowledged my skill

"If you get hurt or even worse, I want all the blames to be headed towards me. I want that you get hurt not because of ignoring my orders, but rather than the mistakes of my command"

Really, if you want to make your team good, you must ensure them that they have someone good to protect them.

"And one more thing, the target has a family member, a little sister apparently, and she's not our target so don't hurt her at any circumstances, if you do, you might anger the target and this'll make the mission more difficult. And your target, no matter how dangerous she is, she's a human; don't make her feel more pain than she has to, you get it?" I asked for one last time

"Sir! Yes sir!"

"Good, that's all that I have to say. I'm going to explain the tactics tomorrow; meet me here at 700 hundred hours. Now you may go home and prepare yourself. Don't forget to have enough rest too; you're going to need it. Dismissed!" I ended

"Yes sir! Thank you sir!" they saluted first before they left. I just smiled at this, hoping that they know what they're going to do tomorrow.

I noticed that it was already noon, and I decided to leave and have some lunch, then I went to watch some movies, that probably will be my last (I don't hope so) and hang out some friends. I also had my dinner outside, and by the time I reached home, It's already night

"Time to call it a day" I mumbled

I had a quick shower back home, then I checked my emails; the email from the commander was there. I quickly opened it.

Operation: Thunderstrike (A/N: I'm bad at giving names!), Location: New Oerba, Farron Residence, 19 Seafront street, Team's callsign: Bolt, Time: 900 hours

PS: Good luck Mireile, come back in some piece. The drinks are on me!

I chuckled at the note, Holy chocobos he's a good commander, he deserves a promotion!

Then I start to compose my own reply

Okay sir. And you better have a lot of bucks on your wallet when I got back, I'll drink a lot, be sure of that

After the reply, I closed the terminal. Then I brushed my teeth, and before sleeping I checked my weapon and prepared some potions for tomorrow. As I checked at my own weapon, the Nifelheim, I recalled the day when my parents gave it to me, the same day that I would lose them forever

Flashback: 12 Years ago, the Thampert residence

(A/N: The flashback will be explained in third person POV)

"Mireile, wake up honey! Wake up!" the Fiona Thampert woke up her only son in the midnight

"What it is mom?" the 10 year old Mireile asked groggily

"Mireile, someone is trying to hurt us, we have to get out of here" she explained softly

"Hurry up, Fiona! The bandits are here!" shout Hans Thampert anxiously

"Okay Hun!" the mother replied

Then they started running out from the house, but the way that they were running was surrounded by the bandits. the experienced father already expected this, as he was a veteran Guardian Corps soldier, and he knew that all of them would not survive if they stick together .so they decided to let Mireile escaped, while they made a diversion. Before leaving his only son, Hans give him the Nifelheim, it's a special spear that had it's pole act as a machine gun barrel, and the spear itself made of the rare frost stone, imbuing it with ice element, living up to it's name; Nifelheim, the world of ice.

"Remember son, this spear is the pride of our family, so use it wisely. Go Mireile! Live up! And find your way of living!" his father ordered

"Um!" The little Mireile nodded then he started running

"Good bye Honey!" the couple said their last words to their son, leaving him to safety

Mirele started running as fast as possible, but he stopped at running when he heard gunshots. Even if he was only 10 back then, he was very smart. He knew what exactly happen and tears begin to form in his crimson eyes

Present

"Huh!" I groaned as tears began to flow to my cheek unnoticed when I recalled the memories of that fateful day. I quickly wiped it out with my hands, and I was glad that no one saw it; it's too embarrassing. Then I switched off the light and curled up at the bed, letting the sleep to take me, even that I knew I was going to have another nightmare

Strangely, it didn't happen. Instead, the dream that I had was a very good one, I dreamed that I met my own parents again. I wish that it was reality

Yay! The second chapter is done! I finished it faster than I expected. If you noticed, the name of the operation and the callsign is related to Lightning, this was meant to respect her if you wonder. And the Nifelheim is the pride of the family, so it's like Buster Sword to Angeal in Crisis Core. Keep reviewing!
