It was just another day at the SWA, before a man named Reschiglian called Lorenzo with bad news. After he made Lorenzo aware of his coming, he arrived at the Agency.
"This is extremely urgent, are all of the handlers in the briefing room?" said Reschiglian
"Yes, they're all ready" said Lorenzo
* * * * * * *
Lorenzo and Reschiglian entered the room full of fratellos, but not every seat was filled.
"Why is there an empty seat?" asked Reschiglian
"Where is Meriwether?" Lorenzo said to the handlers
"He's in the restroom, this must not be very important to him" said Jean
"I'm in a hurry, so we have to start without him" said Resch
Resch kept his eye on Sandro, who was looking back at him, and revealed his information.
"I assume you all know who this man is" Resch said while passing around a picture
"Yeah, that's the Left Extremist, Liberatore" said Marco
"Correct. I've been told by one of my spies, that-"
The door was then, loudly opened by a pink haired boy
"Whew, sorry, I couldn't hold it any longer" said Meriwether as he unknowingly interrupted Reschiglian, "Sorry"
Meri sat on his chair and looked at the picture.
"Who's he?" said Meri
"That's Liberatore. You wouldn't need to ask, if you were here on time" said Jean
"He is targeting his four-year-old daughter. I need Alessandro and any volunteers" said Resch
"Huh, why me?!" said Sandro
"I'll tell you later"
The first and only person who got to volunteer was Meri, who actually held his arm up.
"Me! I'm going too" said Meri
"Are you a handler?"
"Yeah"
Reschiglian was surprised that Lorenzo allowed someone so young to work there.
"Why do you want to be in this?"
"I can't let a monster like him roam the world. I don't want him to hurt any innocents, especially not a little girl"
Jean thought, "Why does this guy like little girls so much?"
"This will be very dangerous"
"Together, Bici and I can do anything! Please let us join you"
sigh "Lorenzo?"
"He's already had a few missions and has definitely proven himself" said Lorenzo
"Okay, you're in"
"Thank you, I promise I won't mess anything up"
Jean wanted to laugh when he heard that.
"Any more volunteers?" asked Resch
"I think two fratellos are enough" said Lorenzo
Reschiglian had now enlisted the volunteer Meri along with Sandro who didn't even know why he had to join.

In a mansion populated by Padania, there was a private room for a man that didn't want to be disturbed.
"What do you want?" said one of the guards
"I'm here with an update regarding the girl" said the man
The guards made sure the man had no weapons and let the man enter. The room was large, round, and dimly lit. The surrounding wall was lined with books big and small. There were two men in the room. The one sitting at the side had hair that looked as if it was dipped in blood; he was reading a manga called Blood Girls. At the opposite side of the room was an older man sitting behind his desk. The man had shadowy black hair and was reading a book called The Adversary. After mustering up his courage, the intruding man said,
"Sir, we've located your dau- the girl"
"And…" said the young red-haired man
"We haven't actually taken her yet, but I'll call the men we have in the govt."
"When will this issue be resolved?" said the man with black hair
"I was going to have them get her by the end of the week"
"Idiot. Don't take your time, she needs to die, now" The man angrily said in a way that stabs people with fear.
"I- I'll call them immediately, Liberatore, sir…"
"Is that all?"
"I saw you on TV, sir, y- you were amazing" the man said sounding like a musician's groupie
"Did you not say that you would immediately make the call?"
"I- I'm sorry, sir. Please excuse my foolishness"
The man named Liberatore silently glared at his sub-ordinate like a snake eyeing a mouse. The Padania grunt quickly walked out of his boss's room, still feeling like he was being watched.
"These mindless buffoons are more focused on worshipping me, than fulfilling their actual purpose. I cannot believe that they are the people I command" said Liberatore
"So boss, does the girl really have to die?"
"Don't question my judgement, Nevel. It's too risky to let her live"
"If you say so" said Nevel "It's still hard to believe that anyone could trick you like that"
"She was very convincing, that's all that needs to be said"
Before he continued reading his favorite book, Liberatore thought,
"All the great men that I looked up to are now gone, leaving me behind to lead these fools…Like my forefathers, I swore to liberate us, but unlike them, I will actually reach that goal and be worthy of my name. I will be the one to finally end this war"
