Summary:
With the successful recruitment of Neo-Tokyo High academic Yuji Maehara in the ranks of the CRI Intelligence Bureau at their first student/CRI Intelligence field operative, Jin Magima has ordered Yuji's training to begin at once while seeking answers for another potential CRI Intelligence recruit straight from Neo-Tokyo High as well. Jin orders him to be secretly deployed into his first mission, providing tactical firearms support to Najica and Lila when they later clash with Pacific Medical. Will he be able to help Najica and Lila overpower Pacific Medical's security forces? Will Yuji even have backup himself? Stay tune to this chapter to find out.
Note - To those who are to review my story, I need help figuring out what is the standard assault rifle used by Pacific Medical and Shinba Industrial's security forces, as well as CRI Intelligence's tactical teams. I also need to figure out the name of the heavy sniper rifle (.50 Caliber BMG) used by Lila when Rena and Shinobu issued it to her.
- After some though, I've decided to add another OC to provide reinforcement for Yuji, even if no one bothered to input their opinion (For shame!). You'll see who he is and how the two are related.
- As my workload back in school's almost complete, I've decided to post this as a sign from me, indicating my comeback to regular updating of my stories. Regular updates for my Area 88 and Najica Blitz Tactics stories will be due shortly.
Chapter 2: Getting Ready
Armory, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
Yuji Maehara, now back in the CRI Intelligence Complex after attending to his schooling at Neo-Tokyo High, was busy cleaning his Glock 20 pistol in a long table in the middle of the room. He had previously stripped and cleaned the Korth-Waffen Combat, the Manurhin MR-73 and the Ruger KGPF-331 revolvers. Like the other day, he was wearing the Omihalcon Armored Muscle Suit without its gloves. He had finished firing his sidearms back at the firing range earlier after he arrived and was due to head to the gym for some martial arts training.
Watching him doing his job were Rena and Shinobu. Since the two didn't have much workload to do, they decided to hang out and speak with him instead inside the armory.
"So when did you become a scholar at Neo-Tokyo?" Rena was sitting down in one of the couches, flicking her green hair strands behind her left ear.
"A few years ago after I came back from Manila. I was studying in the International School of Manila or ISM under a scholarship when they saw my academic potential." Yuji grabbed a WD-40 spray can placed next to a 15-round magazine for his Glock 20.
"Wow! Really?" beamed Shinobu, seated in a stool next to Yuji. "You know, I tried hard to be a scholar back in Neo-Tokyo though." Shinbou began to remember her days as a Neo-Tokyo High student. "If I didn't mess up on that Math exam, then I would have been a scholar candidate."
"Felt easy for me, though. I've spent most of my reading and studying." Yuji chuckled silently and sprayed the disassembled Glock 20 slide with the WD-40 spray can before he started to assemble the Glock 20 with speed and precision, impressing Rena and Shinobu.
"Wow! Look at him go." For a second, Rena couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"He's impressive." Shinobu almost had her eyes bulged out as he was not able to keep up with Yuji's moves.
"Really?" asked Rena, a bit shocked.
"Not anyone can do that." suggested Shinobu.
"I guess not." shrugged Yuji. He cocked his Beretta PX4 Storm pistol, pulling the slide to check for any leftover ammo before he began to disassemble the sidearm, starting with the ejection of its 17-round magazine.
Jin Magima's Office, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
Jin Magima, seated in his office, had received a confidential report from one of the CRI Intelligence recruiting officers. Reading it, it said that another potential CRI Intelligence agent could be recruited right away straight from Neo-Tokyo High after seeing the secret results from the special test that was conducted in the school a week ago.
"I see." Jin flipped over the various pages until he was reading his bio datasheet. "He seems to know Yuji Maehara personally. And according to the results, Recruiting is recommending his indoctrination into CRI." The CRI Intelligence commander closed the folder, placed it on his table and pressed a button on his personal intercom.
"Yes sir?"
Jin sighed before answering his party on the other line. "Send in the other recruit in at once from Neo-Tokyo High at once. I want to meet him personally."
"Understood, Commander."
Corridor, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
"Now that I've finished my firearms and martial arts training, I was told to wait here."
Yuji, now completed with his second day of training in firearms and martial arts, was told to wait in the couch near the commander's office. Apparently, he was told that another CRI Intelligence recruit was found by the bureau's Recruiting Section. He was to be brought back to the complex after the second recruit's dealings in Neo-Tokyo High. He decided to doze off and sleep for a while.
"I wonder who's the next recruit that I've heard from Rena and Shinobu? Hopefully, he's as cool as I am or maybe a scholar back in Neo-Tokyo."
"Yuji! The other recruit's here."
"NNNN... wha? Recruit? Though I was the only one to be recruited?"
Snapping out of his daze, he rubbed his eyes before getting his head massaged by his fingers and saw Rena and Shinobu standing near him with smiles plastered on their faces. He knew that it was Rena's voice.
"Where is he?"
"See for yourself."
A young man, also assumed to be 16-17 years of age, had short brown hair and brown eyes. He was wearing the official uniform of Neo-Tokyo High, which was only a white polo and black pants. He had a light brown messenger bag slinged on his shoulder.
"Is that you, Yuji Maehara?"
Yuji was shocked to see the student standing next to Rena and Shinobu. He swore that he knew the guy from before.
"What? After all of these years. Is that really you, Katsuya Tsuroka?"
The two Neo-Tokyo High students laughed before they gave easy other high fives and bumped their clenched fists as a means of acknowledging one another.
"You guys know each other?" questioned Shinobu, surprised.
"Yea! Katsuya's under a sports scholarship at Neo-Tokyo. We first met back in Manila in ISM since our fathers were stationed in the Philippines a few years ago before we parted ways." said Yuji before he sighed. "His only living relative is his father back in Toyota. He's pretty studious in school work though. Like my late father, he's an officer in the Ground Self-Defense Forces."
"I'm lucky that I'm also able to keep in touch with Yuji here." elaborated Katsuya further on Yuji's explanation, patting the shoulder of his classmate and friend.
"Excuse me." said a CRI Intelligence soldier, wearing a brown BDU and pants with a field cap, approached the group. "But Commander Majima needs to see the two of you at once."
"What did he say?" asked Shinobu.
"I don't know. But he says that it's urgent."
"All right. Tell Mr. Majima that we'll be coming at once."
"Yes, ma'am."
Jin Magima's Office, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
"So Mr. Tsuroka, your father is a Major in the Ground Self-Defense Forces." Jin was reviewing his bio flashed on his computer. Rena and Shinobu were seated in a couch near the two CRI recruits, who were seated in chairs in front of Jin's office table.
"Yes sir!" answered Katsuya, saluting him before answering Jin. "He's based at Narashino first before being relocated at the National Defense Academy. I've heard from my last letter from him that he's to be promoted soon, though I'm not sure on the exact details."
"Very impressive. I've had the chance to meet the man once back in the 1970's. Your father is a very hardworking man."
"Thank you for the kind compliments, sir."
"Think nothing of it." Jin went through the bio data of Katsuya before asking him on details regarding his father.
"And what does your father teaches in the National Defense Academy?"
"Military history."
"And you're in the Youth Cadet Corp. program with Yuji, I see." Jin clicked on the computer, revealing another page in Katsuya's bio. "So how did you meet Yuji?"
"Sir." interjected Yuji. "Our fathers were stationed at the Japanese embassy in Manila a few years ago. My father was the defense attaché and Katsuya's father was the assistant defense attaché."
"Makes sense." mumbled Jin. He faced Katsuya, a bit of sympathy in his tone. "Katsuya, I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your mother."
"It's all right, sir." Katsuya's mother had died a year ago due to breast cancer. "She was a wonderful woman, even though breast cancer took her life." Katsuya had tears falling from his eyes.
"It's all right, buddy." Yuji patted his comrade's shoulder in order to comfort him. Rena and Shinobu looked at Katsuya with sympathy in their eyes.
"Thanks, Yuji." thanked Katsuya, trying to put up a smile in his face.
"Now to business." Jin now had his business tone in his voice. "You two were the only feasible recruits that the Recruiting Section were able to select through a unique test that we disguised as a simple IQ test."
Jin coughed, clearing his throat before he continued on with his debriefing. Yuji and Katsuya nodded at his statement.
"Katsuya, you're to undergo training as once with Yuji assisting you in all the aspects that you need as a CRI Intelligence operative."
"I understand, sir." replied Katsuya.
"Anyway, the two of you will be deployed as soon as possible." Jin typed in a few keys in his computer, showing the image of Najica Hiiragi. "You all know Najica Hiiragi as CRI's number one operative." Yuji and Katsuya nodded at him. Satisfied at his answers, Jin elaborated to the two teens on her current status with CRI Intelligence. "Right now, she's in an overseas trip with her assistant, Kirala Mitsuboshi in tow. So for the meantime, I'll have you two alerted as soon details for the next operation are in. You're going to be deployed soon and this would be your first mission with us."
"Yes sir, Commander Majima!" The two Neo-Tokyo High students got up from their seats and rendered a salute to Jin, who gladly returned the salute.
"Rena, Shinobu." Jin turned to the two CRI Intelligence staff members. "Please let these two know their assignments as soon as possible."
"Right away, sir." said Shinobu, standing up from the couch with Rena.
Firing Range, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
Katsuya Tsuroka, now also donned in another Armored Muscle Suit made for him before he had arrived in the CRI Intelligence Complex, was in a stall in the firing range with Yuji behind him. The two newly recruited teenage CRI operatives had their ears covered with ear protectors as a standard precaution.
"So you're the first young male operative recruited straight from Neo-Tokyo High eh?" questioned Katsuya, firing his IZHMASH MP-412 REX revolver on moving paper targets.
"Yep. I was told so by Rena and Shinobu a while ago." answered Yuji, keeping an eye on his friend's firing stance. In the stall table were a Mateba Model 6 Unica and Taurus Model 65 revolvers, both having 4 inch barrels, with pistols consisting of a Para-Ordnance P14-45 in .45 ACP caliber, a Smith and Wesson (S&W) Military and Police in 9 x 19 Parabellum caliber and a Tangfolio Force in 10 mm Auto caliber. Next to his Tangofolio Force were a Gerber Silver Trident knife sheathed in a Gerber Sheath Speed Draw nylon sheath and a KA-BAR D2 Impact Combat in a KA-BAR Glass-Filled Nylon sheath.
"That's gotta be the coolest thing that I've ever heard in my life." complimented Katsuya, who fired the last .357 Magnum round from the chamber of the IZHMASH MP-412 REX revolver before he grabbed the Taurus Model 65 revolver from the stall's countertop in front of him. "Besides, I've got some cool gear that you can get. I never though that I could get into such a secret organization like CRI."
"Amen." added Yuji in support to his friend and classmate.
"So we're on standby for the meantime?" said Katsuya to Yuji, who simply nodded at his question. "But when are we going to be in action?"
"We're going to be informed by Rena and Shinobu on when we're suppose to be deployed right away as a first." answered Yuji, observing his friend's stance in handling his Taurus Model 65 revolver.
"Let's go and do some martial arts training after this." grinned Katsuya. "I always wanted to spar against my best friend."
"No problem." Katsuya started practicing with his Taurus Model 65 by firing a single .357 Magnum round from the revolver's chamber, eager to end that routine sooner or later.
"It should give us something to do while wait for our next move."
Gym, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
Yuji Maehara and Katsuya Tsuroka, now wearing white shirts and black gym pants, were standing within a few feet as they were preparing to practice their martial arts. Yuji had been in the Kendo club and was formerly a member of the Karate club. On the other hand, Katsuya had been an ex-member of the Arnis club when the two were studying back in Manila and he was currently studying in Neo-Tokyo High under a sports scholarship due to his extraordinary talent in Judo. The boys, in their spare time, try to practice Kali and Taekwondo. Most of their peers would have thought of the two as martial art fanatics.
"Ready?" Yuji got into a fighting stance, arms at the ready.
"Ready as I'll ever be, comrade." Katsuya smirked when he also got into a fighting stance.
The two gave each other a bow, slightly bending their backs with their arms on their sides before they got ready to spar. Yuji took the initiative to rush at his friend and sparring partner.
"Let's do it!"
Outside Gym, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
"Is there word yet for the boys to be deployed?"
Shinobu Misato was outside the gym of the CRI Intelligence Complex, leaning near the sliding door of the facility. Rena Uzuki was standing in front of her, arms folded near his chest. She frowned a bit, but answered Shinobu's concerns.
"Not yet so far." answered Rena. "But we do know is that Najica and Lila are fighting that newly released Humarritt in the field. We're going to rendezvous with her later on." She scratched her hand, irritated at its itch. "Besides, I've been getting reports from our intel that Pacific Medical's security forces have been targeting her and Lila."
"That's a safe thing to say, I guess." shrugged Shinobu. "Besides, I need to sit down and relax for the meantime, but not while Najica and Lila are being attacked."
"Why don't we go inside the gym? I hear Yuji and Katsuya are going to spar with one another. It should get our mind off things for a while."
"Good idea. I suppose so." The two ladies walked towards the sliding door, which opened automatically when they stepped a few feet on the unseen door sensor.
Gym, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
Rena and Shinobu entered the gym, just in time to see Yuji executing a high kick that connected to Katsuya's face.
"Whoa!" shrieked Shinobu, seeing Yuji executing his move. "That was awesome!"
"It's so cool!" mumbled Rena, who got a bit shocked at Yuji's action.
Katsuya blocked Yuji's high kick with his arm protecting his face. "Miss me, sucker! Try this!" Katsuya went for a jab punch aimed for Yuji's solar plexus. Sensing his apporach, Yuji countered Katsuya's attack by grabbing his arm and performed a hip throw, making Katsuya land on his back.
"Ack!" yelled Katsuya, who was in a bit of pain. "Damn! Yuji caught me off my guard! Though I have to admit that it was pretty smart for him to counter my attack."
"How long do you think they'll go?" wondered Shinobu.
"Don't ask me." answered Rena. "But I have to admit that they're good in their martial arts."
"Maybe we can get Yuji to teach us, eh?" smirked Shinobu, nudging Rena with her elbow.
"Hey!" yelled Rena, cheeks turning red. The green-haired woman covered her face to hide her blush with her brown-haired companion snickering at her.
Katsuya, seeing Yuji was a bit distracted by the commotion between Rena and Shinobu, prepared to execute his side kick aimed at his ribs, resulting in excruciating pain for Yuji.
"Ergghhh!" murmured Yuji, clutching his ribs in pain. Yuji did a backward roll as he made contact with the floormat, enabling him to escape further pain.
"Damn!" commented Katsuya, jumping at his spot and flexing his neck and feet. "You're good."
"Heh!" replied Yuji, wiping sweat from his forehead. "I was just getting warmed up."
"Attah!" yelled Katsuya, who tried to do an axe kick meant for his head. Yuji quickly ducked underneath and did a low kick, meant for his shins.
"Aaahhh!"
Katsuya went down to the ground, grabbing his shin in order to avoid feeling anymore pain before he got up and kneeled on the floormat.
"Prepare yourself." said Yuji, his tone similar to Shao Khan from Mortal Kombat 2, as he was prepared to execute his own axe kick on his opponent until Katsuya raised his arms in surrender.
"I give up! I give up!"
"Damn." Yuji relaxed his defenses and assisted Katsuya in getting up from the floor. "Guess it's better than nothing to do for now."
"Wow! Nice moves!" complimented Rena, who clapped her hands after seeing the entire sparring match.
"Yeah! I think the commander made the right choice." praised Shinobu, who also clapped her hands.
"I guess we're done here." said Yuji, using his hands in order to clear potential dirt from his gym pants.
"Ugh, yeah." remarked Katsuya in agreement, who gently massaged his shins before grabbing his gym bag from the nearby chairs before Yuji grabbed his as well. Rena and Shinobu watched the two depart from the gym before they took their leave also.
"Come on, mate." stated Yuji, mimicking an Australian accent after he placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Let's go grab us some lunch."
Male Locker Room, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
"Lunch was good." said Katsuya, who was busy cleaning up in his shower stall.
"Yep. Haven't tasted good sushi in years." Yuji was rubbing his wet and damp head with a towel before putting a plain white shirt on.
"What do you suggest on what's going to happen next?" asked Katsuya, turning off the running water in his shower stall.
"I don't know." replied Yuji, who simply shrugged his shoulders.
"Pardon me!"
A male CRI Intelligence employee, simply dressed in a lab coat with a brown shirt on, poked his head inside the locker room, panting as he was tired. Yuji and Katsuya stared at the man, waiting for something to come out from his mouth.
"Commander Majima wants to see you both as once."
Jin Magima's Office, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
"Boys." began Jin, showing the two CRI recruits some photos of a gun battle on the screen behind him after showing them their seats. "We've received word that Najica is being held under siege by Pacific Medical." Yuji, Katsuya, Rena and Shinobu were attending the hastily debriefing session without Gento Kuraku for now.
"Pacific Medical has security forces?" said Katsuya, bit surprised.
"Not that surprising." Yuji leaned on his chair. "Ever since the disaster took place a few years ago, most local and international corporations have secretly raised their own security forces. If the disaster didn't take place, then those corporations would have been frowned by the rest of the world."
"That's true." remarked Jin. "Getting back to the situation at hand, Najica and Lila were earlier deployed into the area, trying to secure the BBB Humaritt from any attempt by Pacific Medical's security forces." On the screen was the image of a woman, in her late '20s, with some antennas on her heads, resembling an alien in a female business suit.
"How do we know about how the Pacific Medical security forces look like?" inquired Katsuya.
Jin typed a few keys on his computer and in a few minutes, images of men wearing ballistic helmets, respirators and flak jackets had appeared all over the screen. Most of them were seen holding various automatic weapons.
"They're your targets. But I must stress that your objective is to bring back Henry Kissling if possible, dead or alive."
Kissling's image came on the screen. A blonde man with a scar on his nosebridge, it ws the main feature that would enable the recruits to identify him.
"So, the Canadian has chosen to show up, eh?" mocked Yuji, frowning at his photo.
"I suggest that you know something about Kissling here, Yuji." pondered Jin, eyes kept focus on Yuji's standing form.
"Yes I do, Mr. Majima. He happens to bean ex-soldier in the Canadian Army, was posted in the Special Forces Regiment. Had attended UN peackeeping efforts in Sri Lanka and Malaysia during his time in the Canadian Forces. He was accused of killing innocent civilians while on duty as a UN peacekeeper with the Canadian contingent and was imprisoned for a few years before he incurred a dishonorable discharge. Formerly had the rank of Captain. How he got that damn scar is a mystery to me and Katsuya, sir."
"All right." Jin sighed before ending his debriefing session, in disbelief that Yuji personally knows something about their fugitive. "Yuji, Katsuya, you boys better suit up immediately. The two of you will be deployed to the former prefecture of Ishikawa at once. Your objectives would be to aid Najica and Lila in securing the BBB Humaritt and overpower Pacific Medical's security forces. Also, see if you can get to Kissling as well. It doesn't matter to me if he's either dead or alive."
"Yes sir!" Yuji and Katsuya saluted the CRI commander before leaving his office and went off to the armory.
"Rena, Shinobu. Assist the two boys in getting ready for their first field mission."
"Yes, sir." Rena and Shinobu excused themselves from Jin Magima's Office and proceeded to the armory also.
Corridor en route to Armory, CRI Intelligence Complex, Neo-Tokyo, Japan
"How you feeling, Yuji?" The silent trip to the armory by the two teenage secret agents had brought some nerves up for Yuji and Katsuya, not sure on what to expect on their first assignment.
"A bit nervous. My first mission. What about you, Katsuya?"
"Nervous as well."
"I guess we have something in common."
Before the two operatives entered the armory, they had a brief moment of silence, thinking about the battle ahead of them.
"You ready?" grinned Yuji.
"You bet." smirked Katsuya.
The two gave each other high fives and said "Yeah!" in unison before entering the armory, getting their own weapons and equipment needed for their upcoming mission in the former prefecture of Ishikawa.
