"Sir, we've just recieved word that defensive position 12 has been assualted and all but destroyed by four female diclonii. We also have reason to believe that it will not be long before they find us" Sergent Fist Class Rhyoji Nambishim said to Kurama as he entered the commander's office to report on Kakuzawa's movements.

"Hmm... I see. Well it is no matter, Roan is healed and Kaneda is almost one hundred percent, plus we also have Nana and Lucy. Tell all units to hold their positions and get the assualt force ready for combat. As soon as Kaneda gives us the go ahead, we will launch our first assualt" the perpetually calm commander replied cooly, as he turned his chair away from Rhyoji, causing the soldier to be reminded of Kakuzawa slightly.

"Yes sir, the team should be ready in an hour" Rhyoji replied as he quickly left the room and hurried for the command center to alert his soldiers. Even with four diclonii on our side I don't like the odds we're up against here, oh well too late for that now he thought to himself as he stood outside the door to the command center and composed himself.

As the door opened, Rhyoji was greeted by screams of terror and the sight of a complete massacre before his eyes. His men, atleast they had once been his men, now lay in pieces on the bloody floor, while the surviving soldiers tried to fight off the small attack force. There were two young diclonii about twenty years of age with dirty blonde hair. The leader of the two was about six-foot tall and had two bullet wounds in his right shoulder, while his partner was about six inches shorter, with several bullet wounds in his chest.

As the monsters tore through Rhyoji's men, the sergent hit the emergency alarm on the wall, setting off the base's loud warning sirens and alerting the base's remaining soldiers that they were under attack. At the sound of the sirens, the smaller of the two diclonii spotted Rhyoji and started to advance upon the soldier, until a hole suddenly exploded into the creature's chest and his head exploded in a shower of blood.

"What the hell?! Who the fuck are you?!" the other diclonious exclaimed as his friend's body fell limply to the floor, and another large, horned figure stepped out from from one of the one's many doorways.

"Those are questions you should be answering my friend" the other shadow-covered diclonious said with a hint of contempt in his voice as he walked into the lightened part of the room, revealing himself to be Kaneda. "I highly recommend surrending if you want to live my friend" Kaneda continued, his voice growing into a growl as he said 'friend' to the other diclonious.

"Me? Surrender? Who the hell do you think you are punk?" the blood-covered killer responded with a laugh as he suddenly attacked Kaneda with his vectors. As the five vectors flew towards Kaneda, the large diclonious just stood there waiting, and then just before they hit, he suddenly dodged to the left and then used three of his vectors to slingshot him across the room and towards his opponent.

"I would be respectful if I were you kid" Kaneda said calmly as he stopped behind his opponent, and then drove his elbow deep into the other diclonious's back. As his opponent fell to a knee, Kaneda drove home a hard kick to his face and then, using his vectors, slammed his injured foe into the wall. "Now, you will answer my questions punk. Who are you and what is your objective?" the monsterous diclonious asked the beaten and battered diclonious as he held him pinned to the wall.

"I have no name...but they callled me... Testsu. Me and my brother... were ordered to wipe out this place... and bring Lucy back to... the facility" Kaneda's beaten opponent gasped out in between breaths as Kaneda held him pinned to the wall. As blood dripped down the much weaker diclonious's face, a small, knowing smile formed on his face, but dissapeared just as fast.

"You're... Kaneda... Narikwa... we were told that you were dead... no wonder we lost" the bleeding assassin continued, his gaze slowly diverting from Kaneda to another diclonious who just entered the room. "Heh... Kaede "Lucy" Narikwa... the girl who Kakuzawa is willing to start a war over... so you're the original huh?" Tetsu said with a pained laugh as Kaneda released him and several soldiers began to restrain him.

"Kaneda, we are launching an offensive against the attack force that Kakuzawa has sent against us. You, Roan, Lucy, and Nana will spearhead the attack while the rest of our men get in position and then they will take over, understand?" Kurama said to the powerful diclonious as he entered the bloody room.

"Yeah, but do you know what the attack force is yet?" Kaneda replied as he turned to face Kurama, who was flanked on both sides by Nana and Roan. "I'm taking that as a no then" the mighty diclonious continued, seeing the scientist's face take on a thoughtful, yet blank look. "Heh, well it happens to be the Silipet Sisters" Kaneda continued, his words causing a look of terror to cross Kurama and Roan's faces as they though of the four powerful silipets.

"Shit! We have to deal with them? Dammit!" Kurama cursed loudly as Kouta, Akiso, and Kanoe entered the room, and immediatly were taken aback by the bloodshed.

"Papa, what's wrong? There are four of us, we can fight them" Nana asked, her face showing fear at Kurama's own fear of the other diclonii. "Four-on-four aren't bad odds, Why are you so afraid?" the small and frail-looking diclonious continued, her voice no longer showing any fear, but still holding a hint of uncertaincy.

"That isn't the problem Nana. The problem is that the four sisters are extremely powerful and experts in synchronizing their movements, so a normal four-on-four fight will end in defeat" Akiso suddenly said as she walked across the room over to the small diclonious and Kurama.

"She's right, the only way to beat them is to disrupt their synchronozation, but that's...impossible" Kurama added, his voice wavering as he tried to decide what to do. If we try to fight them then we'll die, even with Kaneda. But we can't run either, they'll track us down, shit! the scientist thought to himself as Kaneda and Roan approached him.

"Hey, we got us a plan now" Kaneda said snapping Kurama out of his thoughts as he put a hand on Kurama's shoulder, and leaned in whispering something to the scientist. As the tall diclonious continued to speak, Kurama's eyes began to grow wide, and a smile slowly crept onto his face.

"Kaneda, you and Roan get Lucy and Nana ready, and I'll take care of the rest!" Kurama exclaimed excitedly as he quickly pointed at Rhyoji and Akiso and motioned for them to follow him, as they left the four diclonii alone in the bloody command room.
