*Crack, Crack, Crack* * Boom*
North: Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Stay with me. Baby, please keep your eyes open.
North frantically tried to stop the bleeding wound from gushing out more blood. The fire fight around him did nothing for his concentration.
Elizabeth: Darling. Stop, you're getting blood all over yourself. I'm *Cough... Wheeze... Cough* I'm okay, I'm ready to die. I've lived a happy life.
North: But there is so much we haven't done yet. I love you Elizabeth. Stay with me. Please?
Elizabeth: I have a favor to ask my beloved.
North: Anything, just as long as you stay with me.
Elizabeth began to tug at one of North's twin sheathed handguns.
Elizabeth: Help me move on.
North: What? No... You're fine. You can hold out till th-
Elizabeth: My love, you are being cruel. Please?
The look in her eyes was too much for him to bear.
North: Elizabeth I...I'm sorry. There isn't anything left... It's all gone.
Elizabeth: There ar- *Cough* There are other ways Dear.
North: What other way is there?
Elizabeth's eyes trailed over towards North's last remaining weapons, two twin knives that hung horizontally across his belt, just beneath the small of his back.
North: NO! I won't do it... I won't do it.
Elizabeth: Please?

Ichibo River
*Beep, beep, beep, beep*
The groggy assassin cracked open his eyes. Something was amiss, what was it?
*Beep, beep, beep, beep*
Shizuka: Oh, you're awake.
North: Yes I am. Are we moving?
Shizuka: Why yes, we are. I hope you don't mind I took the liberty of taking over your shift so that you could sleep. You looked like you needed it.
North: Thank you, you didn't have to do that, and what is that fucking noise!?
*Beep, beep*
North: AGH!
The young agent reached into one of his many pockets on his cargo pants, and pulled out his HUD.
HUD: 3 new messages.
North: Messages?
*Clunk...clunk...splash*
North: Doctor, what was that?
Shizuka: Hmm... It appears we've reached the other side.
North: Of what?
Shizuka: The Bay, guys wakey wakey. It's time to get up.
Rei and Takashi began to stir from their corner. Seeing the two intertwined North decided to have some fun.
North: Sleep well love birds? I hope we arn't not interrupting anything, but it's time to move.
Takashi and Rei both released each other and sat side by side each, sporting a rather large blush. When they finally looked over towards their new passenger their blushes turned to victorious smirks.
Rei: Sleep well North?
North: Umm... Sure?
North was in a state of confusion.
North: What was she talking about? And why did his crotch feel heavy, and slightly wet..?
Rei: Good morning Saeko. How did you sleep? Oh, and you're drooling.
North: What are you talking abo-
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, the akimbo assassin spotted her. There, in his lap, lay a scanty clad Saeko, a trail of drool went from her mouth down to his now wet crotch. The two locked gazes before, in a burst of speed, North hefted his bag out the window before following it a moment later.
North: I'll be outside.
North traversed the shores, to a grassy knoll, before setting his bag down and took in his surroundings.
*Crunch... Crunch... Crunch*
The young agent turned one hundred and eighty degrees, pistols drawn, only to come face to face with Hirano and Takashi.
Hirano: Wow! Easy buddy, it's just us.
North: Right, sorry. Where are the others?
Hirano threw a thumb back towards the vehicle.
Hirano: Changing behind the jeep. Wanna go peek?
Takashi: I kind of don't want to die today.
North: Ehh, I'm busy.
Hirano: Busy?! What could possibly take priority over your duties as a man?
Takashi: It's our duty to peek?
Hirano: Exactly!
North: He's right, it is, but like I said I'm going to have to take a rain check.
Hirano: But why?
North: I'm in clothes that are covered in blood, my weapons need to be cleaned and I need to re-arm.
Takashi: Re-arm?
North: What? You don't think these were the only toys I brought do you? Hey Hirano, if you help me with my chores there might be time left to go peeking.
Hirano: Why are we just sitting here then?
As North changed out of his war-torn clothes, Hirano filled up magazine after magazine.
Behind the battle vehicle
Rey: Sooo... Found a new boy toy Saeko?
Saeko: Excuse me?
Saya: Oh please, it's so obvious that you are into him. You were practically drooling.
Rei: She was drooling.
Shizuka: You can't blame her, he is very attractive.
Rei: I guess so... He does have an air of mystery and danger about him.
Saeko: Hold on. Don't I get a sa-
Alice: Who are we talking about?
Shizuka: Ohhh... No one interesting.
Alice: So I wanna know!
Rei: Maybe when you're older.
Alice: I am older!
Saya: Ugh, just tell her so I can put this shirt on her.
Underneath the Humvee
Hirano: Bro, did you hear that?!
North: Don't yell. They might hear you, besides I'm right here. But yes, I did in fact hear them.
Hirano: You can totally score!
North: What did I say about yelling?
*Smack*
Hirano: Sorry
*Suddenly North reached out from underneath the vehicle and snagged someone passing. Using the unknown victim's apparent shock. The BLACK agent pulled them underneath while maneuvering himself out. Leaving a very shocked Takashi in his place.*
Takashi: AAHH!
Shizuka: Did you guys hear something?
Saeko: Yes, there was defiantly as sound.
Alice: Someone's peeking!
Saya: WHO!? I'll kill him!
Hirano & Takashi: MOMMY!
Saya: You fat otaku is that you underneath there?
Rei: Takashi?
Back on the grassy knoll
The freshly clothed assassin sat up against his bag, his nose buried in his work. Before him were the makings of an MP5, to save room all equipment was disassembled down into major components so they could be stored. If he wanted a certain weapon all he had to do was assemble it and he would be ready to go.
Finishing the assembly the masked solider set about checking his work then as if using a sixth sense he looked back towards the jeep and waited.
*Distant screams*
North: Ahh... The sweet sounds of an unjust beating. Well its getting kinda dull over here, I'd better go save them.
Behind the truck
Saya: You fat otaku! How dare you peek at me! Do you know who my father is?!
Hirano: Sa-
Takagi: Shut up! No one said you could talk!
Using her heightened vantage point Saya landed a fury enhanced punch right in the otaku's temple, knocking him back down when he tried to rise.
Saya: I'm going to break yo! Do you understand me? Completely BREAK YOU!
Pulling him out from underneath the truck and straddling his torso Saya, continued to beat her frustrations out on the young otaku. Hirano took it in stride, rolling with the punches, never protesting. Just living in the moment. What where the chances a top less girl would ever beat him up again?
Rei: You idiot. I hate you!
Takashi: Rei it wasn't me I swear.
Saeko: Really? So what where you and Hirano doing under the car?
Takashi: Well...umm...Hirano was peeking, but I wasn't! I was just walking by and then something grabbed me and pulled me under.I didn't know where I wa-
Rei: Liar!
Saeko: Miyamoto let him finish. Continue, Takashi.
Takashi: I didn't know where I was so I yelled then you found me.
Rei: Hmm...a very interesting story... You big liar!
Snatching up the bayoneted M1A1 the half-naked teen sought to impale the peeping tom for his actions.
Raising from his earlier position the Masked Assassin began his trek back towards the vehicle. Steps even, and silent, lush green grass soon gave way to hot, uneven sand. The sound of bickering and childlike cry's soon assaulted his ears. As Noth reached the back of the battle ready vehicle he was greeted with a very, luscious sight? Plentiful? Rewarding? Not one of those words quite fit. Words could not describe the awe-inspiring sight before him.
North: Oh shit...is she about to kill him?
As Rei sought to make Takashi a human pin cushion, North had very little time to react. Seeing no other option, the Solider pounced, Banzai rushing the light haired brunette. Catching the underside of the rifle in his left hand, he stopped the blade a mere inch and a half away from the High School boy's neck. Then by gripping the underside of her arm with his free hand and using the momentum from his hips, he sent the shocked and embarrassed Rei flying over his back. Rei rolled with the blow, coming back up on her feet and charging back towards the kneeling teen, rifle raised. North stood directly in her path, ready to subdue her if need be. He couldn't help but notice she was still naked... Where was he supposed to put his hands..? Takashi, noticing he wasn't dead yet, took the moment to look up.
Takashi: Oh my god... I think I love you...
North: Shut up before I decide to let her kill you after all.
Saeko: Stop defending him. Justice must prevail.
North: Umm... You're not helping, you know that right? And I'm sure justice can wait for you and her to put some clothes on.
Saeko: What?
North just stood and pointed to Rei's trimmed bush, just peeking out from between her legs. The nude teen followed the man's finger and gazed to the spot in between her legs. Finally realizing she's completely nude, the heavily blushing girl snatched up some random articles of clothing from the floor, ditched the rifle and ducked into the truck. The danger was over, North visibly relaxed. Putting the M1 up against the car he began to walk to Hirano who was still being mauled by a topless Takagi. Saeko started to walk with him.
North: You know you're naked too, right?
Suddenly she stopped. Her body went into a full body blush and she maneuvered herself away from North
Saeko: Then don't stare...
Using her hands to cover as much as possible, Saeko made her way back to the Jeep in a quick pace.
North: *Sigh* Let's go Takashi, before Hirano dies of a nose bleed.
Takashi: Uhh...sure. Dude, your balls must be made of brass.
North: Try something stronger. Hey kid, watch this.
Takashi: I'm not a kid!
North: Whatever. Hey Takagi.
Saya: What! Can't you see I'm busy?
The fearless assassin waltzed up to a very angry Takagi and placed one finger in between her luscious mounds.
North: You got a bit if stuff on your shirt.
Saya: What? I do? Where?
Looking down at the Masked man before her, the teenage girl noticed two things. One, she was topless. Two North was touching her bare chest. A deep shade of red began to fill Saya's face, she slowly followed the finger back to its owner before she began to shake. Tears seeped out of her eyes and ran down her face, she began to pant, which caused her glasses to fog up. With the speed reminisent of North himself, she leapt off of the bruised and beaten Hirano and darted inside the Humvee.
Takashi: Steel, definately steel.
North turned to inspect Takashi, only to see Rei and Alice-chan standing there as if nothing had happened. Alice and Rei where fully dressed but the good Doctor was still dressing, not taking notice of the three boys. Not knowing what to do or where to look North settled on the best sight available.
Shizuka: Need something dear?
North: No, not really. Just a question.
Shizuka: And what would that be?
North: Why aren't you running to the truck like the last two?
Shizuka: Why would I? It's not like I care if any of you see me this way. Especially you North-Kun...
With a soft purr the good Doctor sashayed her way over to the somewhat nervous Agent. She placed one hand on the young Soldier's chest and leaned it to whisper seductively into his ear.
Shizuka: Actually, I prefer it...
During this exchange Alice took the time to inspect her new brother. After Ms. Shizuka's forwardness, he suddenly found the ground very interesting. All the confidence was gone, and in replace was a very shy hidden interior that the man kept hidden. He looked very uncomfortable and kinda sad, she didn't want her Anki to be sad, she would protect her Oni-san against these girls!
North: Well...okay then. When you're done just come meet us at the base of that hill. Oh, and bring the girls...
He watched as the sexual predatory gleam left the Doctor's eye and they returned to their natural state.
Shizuka: Okiee dokiee!
With that he simply walked off.
North: What to do? What to do...?
*Beep, Beep*
North: For the love of God! Fine I'll read you! Right after I figure out how to change that bloody ringtone!
After scrolling through the menu a dozen times, while being interrupted by the phones constant reminder of a new message and then finding nothing, the technologically challenged gunman settled with vibrated. He then went through the menu another dozen or so times in search of the inbox. When he finally found it, the number of messages had jumped from three to sixteen... He found the first one was from the device itself, it contained instructions on how to use the HUD to its fullest ability.
North: I could have used you an hour ago... Delete...
The next message appeared on-screen.

(From code name: Lazarus)
Hey bro good news, looks like you're within range of our HUDS, which means we can talk to you. Bad news is your still too far out for comm use so we can't actually talk to you. But more good news, I thought you would be getting a bit lonely out there all by yourself, so I sent you some music. It's in the next message, all you have to do is open it up then save it to device and you can listen to it. You might want to get some earbuds first though. Anyway... Everything's fine over here if you're wondering, kinda boring if you ask me. Oh, before I forget Iso is totally into you bro! I know crazy right? All she ever does is worry about you. Its kinda annoying. Anyway if you don't believe me I sent you a copy of the comm convo we had. Listen to it just like the music. Oh, and one last thing command sent us some equipment. They dropped it this morning, we left yours in a police station inside the armory. The doors locked, the keys are inside Detective Miyamoto's desk. And don't bother looking for any goodies in the station we cleared it out, besides your like a walking armory with all the shit you have in that pack, you're like a granny... Anyway catch you later.
North: Gotta make sure to stop by the station and pick up my stuff.
After a bit of button pushing North typed out a one line reply.
[To code name: Lazarus]
Thanks for the intel, and the music I guess... I am not an old woman!

This is a cache of audio tracks to play, simply click play, to save open the drop menu and hit save. All saved audio tracks can be found and played in the audio cache.
North: I wonder if he has a good taste in music..?

(From code name: Maw)
It seems your now in general range of us... There are supplies in the police station armory, the keys are in the detectives desk drawer I'm sure Lazarus already addressed this. We have found two of the Key Assets, and we believe another two are KIA. We're going to keep looking for them just to be safe, we have taken shelter at the Takagi estate and are currently keeping them safe, your orders are to regroup with us at the Takagi Estate, after you pick you equipment. Maw out.
North: Not even a "Hello".. Or a "How are you?".. Asshole.
[To code name: Maw]
Yes sir.
(Message 5 of 16)
(From code name: Iso)
Hey Rook. How are you? I'm sure your fine... But I still worry. The other guys probably told you everything you need to know. I stashed some ammo and a Scatter Gun in the confiscated items room. We miss you Rook, stay safe.
North: At least someone cares about the me. What's a 'Scatter Gun'..?
North was going to type a reply but the following messages kinda distracted him.
(Message 6 of 16)
(From code name: Iso)
I LOVE YOU ROOK! I want your di-
North:Ummm... 'To delete or not to delete'. That is the question...
(Message 7 of 16)
(From code name: Iso)
That wasn't me, I swear! Delete that message!
[To Code name: Iso]
I'm keeping it...
The rest of the messages consisted of Iso repeatedly asking for the deletion of her last message and that it wasn't her..
North: Well now that's over lets, see if the kiddies are ready to go...
AN: Well?
