Contract 4: Assassination
Russia. Ryobi's never been to that country, but someone gave her the contract of killing a mercenary in that place. She doesn't know who, but it was a pretty random call. However, she can't turn that client down. So…she took a plane down to the Red Square in Moscow, where the target is located. Unfortunately, the mercenary's minions are there as well. She's up on the rooftop with her sniper rifle ready to go. The women were just standing outside idly, watching for intruders. She aims her rifle to her first target that's the closest. She fires and it alerts the rest of the team to open fire. She dives for cover as the bullets fly. She takes a peek just a bit to see that they are still firing their shots. Once there is a slight pause, she takes this chance to shoot with he rifle. One. Two. Three shots and one woman is dead. She dives for cover again as another round of shots are fired. Another pause and Ryobi goes in. She fires and another woman is dead. She dives for cover to reload her gun and aim her rifle at another target.
The women are shouting in Russian as they try to fire at Ryobi, but miss completely. Ryobi pops out from the cover to shoot at another woman as quickly as possible. Once that's done, her ultimate target comes running to their aid. Time to assassinate her! She goes under a crate for cover as the other women fire their shots at Ryobi. The twin-tailed brunette decides to take ALL the minions out and then their boss. That'll make things easier for her. The two women all go in close to fire their shots at Ryobi, but it's still no use. The brunette is undercover already and the shots miss completely. Once there is a pause, Ryobi takes this chance to fire at the woman on the left in the head and then dive for cover to reload her rifle. There is shouting in Russian from the remaining minion and her boss as they try to fire. Nothing works at all. They just don't seem to sink in what they are doing, are they? Ryobi rolls her eyes and takes out the last minion. Now, it's just her and the ultimate target.
The boss moves on to hide behind a car while waiting for Ryobi to shoot. The younger Ryo twin just waits for her to shoot first. She's not going to risk getting shot just because that woman is trying to get her to waste her bullets. The boss goes up to shoot and then hides again. Ryobi pops up, aiming her rifle while looking into her scope. She sees a little bit of her head exposed, but it's not enough to get accurate in her shots. She'll have to see if this woman is ever going to move to get to cover fast. The woman pops up and fires her assault rifle again, but misses. Ryobi pops up and aims, but the woman is hiding behind the car again. This is frustrating. This woman is clever, isn't she? Well, she'll be dead in a second once she starts moving. She keeps on aiming for the woman. The boss pops up and fires, making Ryobi jump and dive for cover. Luckily, none of those shots got to her, but it still scared her. She's not going to give up until that woman's dead for sure. And just then, when Ryobi pops up to aim, the woman is finally moving. Reacting quickly, she fires her shots. One on the leg, another on the arm and then on the shoulder. This slows the woman down a bit, but she's still going for cover. Ryobi doesn't give her a chance. She quickly aims and fires at her head to stop her in her tracks. The assassination is complete. She sighs in relief and lowers her rifle while wiping the sweat off her forehead. Time to go home.
**Next Day**
She's expecting her payment from her client through delivery, but it isn't happening. Usually it's the day after her mission, but maybe the client forgot? She sits on the bed in her room at the Hebijo dorms, looking up at the ceiling until her phone goes off. She picks it up and sees that it's an unknown number. Raising an eyebrow, she decides whether or not to answer it. Perhaps it's her client.
"Moshi, moshi…" Ryobi mutters.
"Ryobi of Hebijo Academy~" a girl's voice says on the other line. "Forgive me for not welcoming you to Moscow~"
Ryobi furrows her eyebrows. "Are you…Eli Ayase?"
"You figured it out already, huh? What a clever girl~"
"I'm not the only one who gets these flyers of your Love Live concerts, you know," Ryobi says. "Why'd you call me anyways? Aren't I supposed to get paid?"
"Yeah, but there's a smite problem," Eli replies. "You see, the Russian mob is still going on. I can't have my family in danger if they're still here. You'll have to go back and take care of them."
"There are more of them?" Ryobi says. "How could this-Why don't your own people take care of them?"
"They tried….they failed," Eli says. "Probably because they weren't strong enough. But you…Ryobi. I saw a picture of you on the news of your killings and thought you'd be useful for this kind of situation."
"Fine. What's your next contract?" Ryobi says.
"There's a bombing in Red Square. I want you to dispose it before it does any harm. I'm counting on you."
"Got it. I'll keep in touch, Eli."
