Red and White
Next up is they do the exchange a second time due to an interruptions and Red Chaika offers Slade/Deathstroke a job working for her.
Disclaimers: I own nothing
Back to where we left off Slade and Akari where originally doing a prisoner exchange with David and Seima Kenworth for both of their Chaikas but before they can do it the exchange gets interrupted by a horde of Cockatrices that where controlled by Mattheus. They intent to eliminate both parties like the Kilemann Agency asked them due to their belief and fear that Arthur Gaz will return to life if any of the Chaikas get all of the remains and piece them back together.
"Sorry Mr. Deathstroke will have to try our prisoner exchange again and somewhere else, it seems someone wants to interfere", David said to him as he and Seima escape with Chaika leaving Slade, Akari and Red Chaika to battle the horde of Cockatrices.
"Me fight", Red Chaika said to Slade knowing that she needed to defend herself from the Cockatrices.
"Right", Slade cuts her loose and hands her Snake-Sword back.
Red Chaika kills many of them thanks to her Snake-Sword unlike Slade's and Akari's Chaika that can hit only one target with her Gundo Sniper Rifle. Slade kills some with his PKP 6P41 Pecheneg LMG and Akari taken some of her share with War Hammer and using Slade's MP7 SMGs. Slade, Akari and Red Chaika flee the area after they where done with all of the Cockatrices and return to the vehicle they left behind.
'That interruption must have been Gillett's doing', Slade thought but it's true since he knows Gillett and his friends are really trying to stop them from retrieving all of those remains out of fear that Arthur Gaz might return.

"Hey Slade!" Fredrika greeted him in her Dragoon form then reverting back into her human form where she was waiting for him at the vehicle.
"Were where you when we needed you Fredrika?!" Slade questions her about her whereabouts because she wasn't even there when they first encountered Red Chaika and her group who wanted to steal the Arthur Gaz's remains from them.
"I come now Slade there's no need for you to react that way just because I wasn't there to help you. Besides I'm still waiting for you to fight me again."
"Not now Fredrika we are still not out of the same situations yet", Slade said much to Fredrika's dismay with smug look on her face, then she turns to see Red Chaika.
"Chaika what happen to you? Did you get a hair cut or something, and did you change your outfit?" Fredrika asked mistaking Red Chaika for their Chaika.
"No Fredrika this is not our Chaika. She is Chaika Bohdan or in my case I call her Red Chaika", Slade corrected Fredrika.
"Her Dragoon?"
"Yes Red Chaika, Fredrika is a Dragoon", Slade said to her nicely as they get a move on.

Meanwhile Gillett Corp
"I can't believe the Council of Six Nations wants us to deal with farm riots and other stuff in a time like this", a frustrated Gillett said after being warned by Konrad who was at the meeting with the Council of Six Nations.
Gillett already got some more information about the 8 Heroes, Count Abarth already lost his remains, Dominica Skoda died of an illness and the third hero went off the grid from the world. On Konrad's side, the Council refuse to believe Chaika is real and choose to dismiss her nothing more than imaginary since there are more focus on the air ship known as Soara and it's crew including a certain Duke.

"I can't imagine they can kill an entire horde", Mattheus said checking all of the dead Cockatrices with Leonardo.
"You know what I've been thinking, I think Arthur Gaz had more than one wife, that's the reason why there is more than one Chaika and which ever gets all of the remains is a suitable heiress to throne", that's Leonardo's theory on why there is more than one Chaika.
"Good point and theory Leonardo", Mattheus said to him then they make their way back to Gillett.

Back with Slade
Slade stays with Red Chaika and Fredrika while awaiting for Akari's return while she arranges the next exchange with the Bohdan group. Red Chaika is quite interested on how good Slade is as a mercenary and she has an idea.
"Why you Deathstroke help White Chaika? Me give you job offer on my group", Red Chaika is giving Slade an offer to work for her but Slade already made a promise and vow to his Chaika, so Slade will have to decline Red Chaika's offer.
"I will have to decline Red Chaika because I already made promise and vow to my Chaika", Slade said while checking his ammo to all his Guns at the same time.
"Is it because you like the White Chaika better than the Red Chaika?" Fredrika ask but Slade doesn't answer because she's only trying to tease him.

Perimeral
Both parties are at the new locations filled with people to finishes their prisoner exchange without such inferences from the Gillett Corp since Perimeral will be too crowded for them to attack and interfere again.
"You Deathstroke no change mind on job offer?"
"I was very clear on my word to my Chaika, Red Chaika", Slade said to Red Chaika as she walks back to her group and walks pass White Chaika as she reunites with Slade.
"Me the real Chaika?" Chaika is asking Slade if she is really the true Chaika or false Chaika.
"It doesn't matter, to me you are the real Chaika", Slade choose that the Chaika he's with and knows is real enough for him.

Outside Perimeral
Slade, Chaika, Akari and Fredrika are driving away from town to continue their journey and mission to find those remains but another trouble is coming. They spot Red Chaika and David once again.
"We should join forces so finding Arthur Gaz's remains will be quicker", David suggested but Slade is really going to say no when he hears this from Red Chaika.
"Can only be one Chaika", Slade knows what Red Chaika is implying, she wants to kill White Chaika so there can only be one.
Slade pulls out his Desert Eagle Pistol and shoots at both Red Chaika and David. David moves out the way while Red Chaika blocks each bullet Slade throws at her before coming to a stop, Slade pulls out his Katana Sword and faces both Red Chaika and David.
"Akari deal with the woman with the Gundo Sniper Rifle", Slade told Akari while Chaika stays at the vehicle.
Slade spins kicks David knocking him out leaving only him and Red Chaika. Seima hiding in the trees was going to fire her Gundo Sniper Rifle but was stopped by Akari thus saving Slade and Chaika the trouble from that.
"You should retreat now Red Chaika", Slade tells her and she agreed so she and her group flees.
"We shall meet again Deathstroke", Red Chaika warns him.
"Until next time Red Chaika", Slade replied to her.

'Now I'm very concern about this, retrieving all of Emperor Gaz's remains will be more complicated since Alveric Gillett and his friends will not only be a problem will have to deal with. Will have to deal with other Chaikas who are also given the same mission but have various objectives once they have them all', Slade thought to himself meaning there are various factions who are after the remains.
