Summary:
As the fairgrounds were under attack by an unknown person, which turned out to be a rogue Humaritt named Toni, Najica and the rest of the CRI Intelligence agents deployed in the Aichi Prefecture must find a way to save the hostage and defeat the bad guys. The thing is, can they do so before it's too late as the prototype Oboro jet was also stolen from the fair? Stay tune to this chapter to find out.
Note - Sorry for not posting a new chapter for this story (If anyone does care, that is). I've been busy with three research papers for once, which was a real killer, not to mention watching Full Metal Alchemist (I plan to do a fanfic story of the entire TV series with probably some manga/video game charcters in it too) and playing RE 4 on Professional Mode after playing Leon and Ada's side of the game. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish this and Dogfighters pretty soon, as well as to post some new ones soon. If anyone does read this new chapter, please read and review. Thanks and have a good day!
Chapter 9: Rescue Operation
En route to Port, International Weapons Trade Fair, Nagakute, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
The route to the port from the trade fair was done very well as it cut time for visitors to get in the fair from the harbor in a few minutes from the main highway. This, fortunately, was their only route that they needed to get there.
Gento was seated in the front of the Land Rover jeep with Rena at the wheel. Shinobu, Yuji and Katsuya were at the rear.
"Who has jurisdiction over this one?" said Yuji; he and Katsuya had their Armored Muscle Suits on while zipping their black Leapers UTG Deluxe Tactical Vests.
"That's actually a problem that we're not sure of." answered Rena, keeping her eye on the road.
"A while ago," began Shinobu, explaining to Yuji and Katsuya about the supposed problem. "The Maritime Self-Defense Forces (MSDF) and the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) had a big argument over who should have jurisdiction over this case."
"What's the catch here?" Katsuya was a bit confused with Shinobu's explanation.
"You see." Gento plugged his left index finger on his left earlobe to remove some dirt. The occupants of the Land Rover were clearly disgusted since he was doing it in front of them. "Surveillance has indicated that the Oboro was heading to a ship located 40 miles off the shore of Aichi. Now back to our main topic here. Representatives from the MSDF tried to make their case after saying that there's in charge of the case. However, the MSA refuted it and clearly stated that the attacks were coordinated from a ship near Japanese soil."
"That's true." Yuji agreed with Gento's thinking. "We weren't attacked by some foreign navy, but by some gun smuggler who orchestrated a terrorist-like attack in Aichi. Even then, MSDF deployment from Yokosuka would have to make sense and time."
Port, International Weapons Trade Fair, Nagakute, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
"We're here!"
Rena had parked their Land Rover jeep near a group of heavily armed men dressed in special forces gear in platoon formations after the vehicle had entered Aichi Prefecture's only port located far from the heart of Nagakute.
"Okay, guys." The Land Rover jeep was parked near the docks of the port in a parking space. Gento, Shinobu, Yuji and Katsuya dismounted from the jeep.
"Greetings!" A masked man with a light blue Pro-tec Classic helmet, a black balaclava and a light blue jumpsuit approached the group. "We were informed that we're to be assisted by CRI Intelligence."
"That would be us." Yuji saluted the masked man, who did the same in return with Katsuya pointing his thumb at Gento. "Except him."
The masked man saluted before giving a reply. "I'm Captain Tatsuya Fujishima of the Japan Coast Guard's Special Security Team."
"You're from the SST?" Yuji was a bit shocked. "I thought that the MSDF would be involved here."
"That's true." shrugged Tatsuya. "But the MSDF has decided to be on a support role while the SST would take the lead in attacking Pewnt's ship out there."
"How?" Katsuya stepped in the conversation between the captain and Yuji.
"They'll provide the ships to block Pewnt from leaving. Only the Special Boarding Unit (SBU) would be on a support role."
"I suggest we better head out there before it's too late." said Gento, wanting to bring the crisis to an end. The others nodded their heads and went to the end of the harbor to get into the boats moored nearby.
On board a Special Security Team (SST) Zodiac Futura Commando FC 420 boat, 20 miles from Japanese soil
A squadron of SST operatives were on board several Zodiac Futura Commando FC 420 speedboats, speeding towards a ship moored off the coast of Nagakute.
Yuji and Katsuya, now wearing their black balaclavas, MSA Gallet TC Special Forces ballistic helmets (visors were up) and black Special Ops Universal Tactical Leg Holsters, began to load ammunition for their weapons while a masked SST operator debriefed them on the operation on board one of the FC 420 speedboats. Gento, Rena and Shinobu stayed behind in order to inform Mr. Magima on bringing CRI Intelligence tactical units into the area.
"What's the target?" Yuji cocked his TSNIITOCHMASH SR-2M Verserk SMG while Katsuya had chambered a Russian 9 x 21mm round in his Pindad Jagawana PM1A1 SMG.
"It's over there." Tatsuya handed him a pair of binoculars before using his gloved index finger to point at the direction that the Zodiac Futura Commando FC 420 was traveling.
"That ship?" Yuji murmured before looking at the sky to see the Blackburn Buccaneer flying at a high speed in pursuit of the hijacked Oboro. He then peered through the binoculars again, taking a good look at the ship ahead of them.
"Wait a minute. That's an American Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter over there." murmured Yuji. "Did Pewnt get that thing in the black market?"
Minutes later, the Oboro and the Buccaneer flew overhead of the Hamilton Class ship and; with the latter using its 30 mm Aden cannons to destroy the cutter's only Otobreda 76mm cannon before inflicting minor damage on the rest of the ship. A figure was seen dropping down from the plane as the Oboro continued to clash with its adversary.
"Let's go!" barked Tatsuya, instructing one of the SST operators to moor their speedboat close to the port side of the ship. Yuji turned his head around to see some SST speedboats heading towards the starboard of the Hamilton Class ship. After a few minutes, grappling hooks were tossed on the helicopter platform on both sides.
Yuji and Katsuya gave quick jerks on the hooks before climbing the port side of the Hamilton Class ship, hoping to catch the enemy by surprise while they busy engaging the Buccaneer with their small arms. Before they climbed up, the two teenage CRI agents flipped the visors of their helmets down.
Helicopter Landing Pad, Main Deck, Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter
"Shoot! I vant you to kill her!"
Rasse Pewnt, the bald German man dressed in an admiral's uniform, shouted at his men to attack Lila. She was dashing at the ship's upper corridors with a Krieghoff Fallschirmjägergewehr42 (FG 42) rifle after landing on the cutter from the Buccaneer.
Ignoring the hails of gunfire around her, the Humaritt halted after getting into a corner of the cutter's metal corridor and took aim at Pewnt with the FG 42's iron sights. Squeezing the rifle's trigger, a single 7.92 x 57mm bullet pierced his right leg.
"Aagh!" The German arms dealer screamed in pain, clutching his wound as blood oozed out of the wound's opening.
"Boss!" One of his grunts began to check on his leg, seeing if he could stop the blood from pouring out from his leg.
"You little bitch!" A grunt armed with a Russian RPG-7 fired its PG-7VM HEAT rocket at Lila. Before the rocket could meet its target, Lila jumped out of its way.
"The hell?" hissed the man, frustrated that his shot missed. As his comrades continue to pepper Lila with their automatic rifles, he got another PG-7VM warhead when he saw some people already on board the platform.
"What the?" He signalled to his comrades that they had more intruders on Pewnt' personal Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter.
"Freeze!" yelled one of the helmeted SST operators who climbed up with Yuji and Katsuya. "SST! Put your weapons down and surrender!"
"Piss off!" One of Pewnt's henchmen tried to take aim at the helmeted SST operator with his IZHMASH AK-74 assault rifle. Yuji saw this and shot him to death with his TSNIITOCHMASH SR-2M Veresk SMG. Soon enough, Katsuya and the rest of the SST operators that were on the helicopter pad joined in the attack and fired at the rest of Pewnt's armed men with their Howa Type 89-F assault rifles, equipped with brass catchers. One of them tried to dash in to help his comrades and attack with an IWI Uzi SMG; he was shot by a SST operative with his Sig Sauer P226. The SST boarding teams, with Yuji and Katsuya, took care to avoid getting the knocked out Azusa Katsuragi in the way of their gunfight.
"Get him!" one of the masked SST operatives yelled to his comrades after seeing the grunt armed with the RPG-7 trying to reload his rocket launcher. The masked man's call for help was answered when Tatsuya whipped out his Sig Sauer P226 and shot him three times in his chest.
Pewnt was still holding on his wound on the platform's gray floor, but he hissed in frustration that he was going to be taken away. He saw an Arcus 94 pistol laid in front of him. He took it and grasped it tightly on his left hand. He tried to take aim at an SST operator, who was not aware of his attempt to shoot him, back facing him. Katsuya took notice of him and immediately fired a short burst from his Pindad Jagawana PM1A1 SMG on the wounded man.
"Huh?" Azusa was recovering from the blow done to her by Toni and adjusted her vision, which was blurry to her. She only knew that a gun battle was taking place right now. She then heard some gunshots before a loud grunt came from Rasse himself. "What happened?"
"Urgh!"
The gun runner clutched his left arm, heavily bleeding from the wound inflicted by the Russian 9 x 21mm rounds.
"Aaah!" Azusa saw Pewnt getting shot and was horrified at the sight of blood. Upon seeing it, she fainted again.
"Katsuya!" Yuji called on his classmate and partner. "Get some SST teams to raid the lower floors on the ship, I'll take the upper floors." He pointed to the area where Lila was last seen before she got hit by a single PG-7VM. An SST unit went to secure Rasse Pewnt and subdued him with plasticuffs before giving him medical attention.
"Okay!" Katsuya gave a thumbs up before leading some SST teams to the port side of the ship. Upon seeing door that said "CARGO", he gestured to an SST operator to open the door while another tossed a hand grenade inside the room. Katsuya and some of the SST operatives entered the room after the grenade had exploded, leading the way with his Pindad Jagawan PM1A1.
Yuji, on the other hand, searched the starboard side of the ship for some stairs leading to the upper areas of the ship. On the way, some SST operators fired their Howa Type 89-F rifles at some men armed with Norinco Type 56 assault rifles. Yuji peppered two of Pewnt's grunts, who had Heckler and Koch G3A3 rifles, with his TSNIITOCHMASH SR-2M Veresk submachine gun before clearing the rest of the main deck of all visible tangos. It would be a few more minutes before gunfire was cleared out on the main deck from the shootout between the SST and Pewnt's hired men.
Corridor, Upper Deck, Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter
"Najica." murmured Lila, watching the Oboro explode from the Buccaneer's 30 mm Aden cannons. She watched Toni smash the glass canopy with her fist before Najica activated the plane's tail boom, sending Toni off the plane before utilizing her wire anchor string to attach herself onto the plane again.
Lila took aim with her FG 42's iron sights and squeezed off a single shot, disabling Toni's wire string. The successful shot sent Toni tumbling down on the Hamilton Class' helicopter port all the way to the closed hangar.
Helicopter Landing Pad, Main Deck, Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter
"Toni!"
Rasse Pewnt shouted at the top of his voice, watching his Humaritt crash down from the destroyed Oboro stealth fighter until she crashed inside the closed helicopter hangar. He tried to get up, but was restrained.
"Stay down!" barked an SST operative, who secured Pewnt by pushing him down on his stomach after using his gloved left hand while holding his Howa Type 89-F assault rifle upright in the air after seeing the bald man trying to get up from the ground.
"What the heck?" Tatsuya and the rest of the SST operatives in the area were astounded on what had just taken place.
"Sergeant!" Tatsuya spoke to the SST sergeant, looking at him through the lens of his ESS Tactical Thermal goggles. "Better be careful, something's not right."
Cargo Room, Lower Deck, Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter
"Secure the area!"
Katsuya shouted to the SST units to secure the cargo room and the rest of the lower deck. He and the SST operatives were met with fierce resistance from various small arms fire and grenades. Though they could be defeated with rocket launchers, Pewnt's gunmen decided not to do so since they could get hurt instead of their enemy.
"Get them!" Some of the gunmen had leaped from cover behind the room's metal crates and fired assorted small arms at the invaders, ranging from IZHMASH AKMs to Colt M16A2 assault rifles and DM FMK-3s to Beretta M12 submachine guns.
"Fire!" SST operatives fired back with their Howa Type 89-F assault rifles and Sig Sauer P226 pistols. Some of them tossed hand grenades over the crates to get the gunmen hiding behind them.
Katsuya dashed for the metal staircase near the metal crates, making him a target for the gunmen. But since he had his Armored Muscle Suit on, he was less of a threat to get shot at. After he was at the first landing, he raised his Pindad Jagawana PM1A1 submachine gun and emptied an entire magazine full of 9 x 21mm rounds at the surviving gunmen.
When the gunfight was over, all of Pewnt's gunmen in the cargo room had been shot dead. In fact, some of them had bullet wounds.
"Get someone to cuff these guys right now!" Katsuya motioned to an SST operator to have the wounded secured while he and some SST units were to go further down the ship and secure the rest of the boat.
"What's this?" Katsuya found a closed door that was unlocked, which was very suspicious.
Waving his hand up, he signaled to the other SST operatives to follow him inside the unknown room.
Control Room, Upper Deck, Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter
With a loud kick, Yuji and another batch of SST operators have barged into the cutter's locked control room teemed full of Pewnt's hired guns.
"Freeze! Drop your guns!" Yuji leveled his TSNIITOCHMASH SR-2M Veresk submachine gun, looking for potential threats inside the room. He eyed a gunman trying to grab his Beretta 92F pistol from the top of an empty chair. He got his grip on it, but Yuji fired a short burst from his Veresk, killing him on the spot instantly.
Some of the gunmen tried to either take reach of their weapons or grab them from tables or chairs inside the room. SST operators were quick enough to get the drop of them, firing short bursts from their Howa Type 89-F assault rifles or their Sig Sauer P226 pistols.
"Anyone else willing to resist?" glared Yuji at the surviving henchmen from under his black balaclava, letting his eyes menace them from behind his helmet's glass visor.
Surprisingly enough, the rest of the armed men inside the control room decided that it was in their best interest to drop their weapons on the floor and raise their arms in defeat.
"Good!" Yuji smirked at the sight of defeat from them. It seemed that Pewnt's grunts were now subdued. He gestured to a SST operative to use plasticuffs on them.
From outside the room, a loud explosion came from the direction of the helicopter pad in the main deck.
Helicopter Landing Pad, Main Deck, Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter
From the white smoke that had emerged from the confines of the ruined helicopter hangar, Toni had in her hands a FIM-43D Redeye man-portable SAM (Surface-to-air) rocket launcher, directly aimed at Najica's Buccaneer flying overhead Pewnt's cutter.
"Oh hell!" Tatsuya motioned to his SST comrades to immediately raise their weapons at the hostile Humaritt. They were about to open fire when a dummy AIM-9 Sidewinder missile streaked at Toni from the Buccaneer's rocket pod.
Instinctively, Toni dropped her Redeye portable SAM launcher and struggled to keep herself in balance against the Sidewinder by holding it in its body.
"What the heck is she?" remarked one of the SST operators, not believing what he was seeing. "Nobody can do that."
"Is she a human?" murmured another.
Eventually, the Sidewinder drove Toni inside the helicopter hangar.
"Toni!" yelled Rasse, trying to get up and see what happened to his Humaritt subordinate. SST operators near him pinned the subdued arms smuggler down before he could try to escape.
A figure from the upper deck jumped onto the helicopter pad in the main deck, landing on his feet safely.
"What happened?" Yuji asked an SST operator for details, getting back on his feet after jumping from the upper deck.
"A plane fired a rocket at the foreign girl." The masked SST operator pointed to Yuji the hole in the damaged hangar. "It didn't explode, but she was knocked out. We're going to subdue her now."
"Okay." He waved him off.
"Ah, Yuji. Glad you made it." Katsuya walked to the landing pad from the ship's port side. Behind him were some captured gunmen in plasticuffs as they were escorted by SST operatives, who had captured some of them earlier. The two noticed that various JMSDF destroyers had surrounded the stalled cutter from all sides, preventing it from trying to escape Japanese waters.
CRI Intelligence personnel had carted the unconscious Toni out of the destroyed helicopter hangar in a wheeled stretcher. Her body was deprived of its clothing, with her lower regions being covered by a white blanket.
"Ah, there she is." Gento lifted the white blanket, which exposed Toni's buttocks. Using a portable ultraviolet flashlight, he flashed the light on the Humaritt's back near her buttocks. The light revealed "WWW", the codename assigned to Toni by Shinba Industrials as a standard for its Humaritts.
"Gento looks so happy, doesn't he?" scorned Rena to Shinobu, not pleased with Gento for the operation.
"Oh yeah!" The ponytailed Shinba Industrials contact grinned after hearing Rena speak about him. "You bet I am."
"Good work!" Tatsuya congratulated Yuji and Katsuya for helping him and his SST comrades, before leaving them to help his fellow SST operators escort Pewnt's captured grunts to a nearby MSA cutter ship.
Nearby, Azusa was starting to recover from being unconscious, something that she did on her own from seeing blood.
"What happened?" moaned the only daughter of Chairman Katsuragi from Katsuragi Industries.
"Well, you're awake now, little girl." Gento knelled down beside Azusa, who had barely knew what happened on the ship.
"Wha..." Azusa hesistated on what to say to Gento.
"Don't worry." Gento motioned to Najica and Lila to come by, dismissing Azusa's concerns. "You should thank these two for helping you out in a jiffy."
The red-haired girl tilted her head up to see Najica and Lila, who were in their supermodel outfits. Needless to say, she was a shocked and embarrassed. "What? They're the ones who I mocked when the reporters didn't show up to see daddy's latest airplane!"
"But that's not all." Najica watched Gento grin at the confused girl. "You should also thank two guys who helped you out."
"I have a sinking feeling that Gento wants us." Yuji murmured, watching Gento speaking with Azusa, who was still on the ground. Katsuya was adjusting the sling of his Pindad Jagawana PM1A1 submachine gun. They flipped their helmet visors open to help them relax after their mission was over.
Gento called on the two teen agents over, voice resonating in the air.
"You're right." cringed Katsuya, not wanting to "do anything" that he may want them to do.
"Come on." Yuji pushed Katsuya forward, making him go first to see Gento with Najica and Lila.
"Ah, there you are." smiled Gento, seeing Yuji and Katsuya coming by after hollering them out before turning his attention to Azusa. "I'd like you to meet these guys."
"Better take your mask off, boys." giggled Najica. Lila had her share of giggling as well.
Sighing in defeat, Yuji and Katsuya took off their MSA Gallet TC Special Forces ballistic helmets and their black balaclavas, revealing their true identities to the young girl.
"Hey there!" Yuji had a smug grin after seeing Azusa's shocked face.
"Man! I really did enjoy seeing your face being shocked by the sight of red blood." Katsuya, on the other hand, had an even wider grin than his friend.
"Yuji Maehara." gasped Azusa, before facing Katsuya. "And Katsuya Tsuroka..." The girl suddenly felt her stomach was churning. "Those guys are from school, and they're watching battle gear?"
"You know them?" Lila faced the red-haired rich girl.
"Do I?" snorted Azusa. "They're Neo-Tokyo High's famous students!" She turned her head to face Yuji and Katsuya."And you guys were secret agents?" She then blushed before she fainted.
"What was that about?" Gento was left scratching his head. "Wow! I didn't even know that our lovely Ms. Katsuragi here knows about our hotshots."
"Get a medic for her and have her sent to the hospital." suggested Yuji, donning his balaclava and MSA Gallet TC Special Forces ballistic helmets before walking towards Najica's Mil Mi-24 Hind-D parked on the center of the helicopter landing pad while adjusting the sling of his TSNIITOCHMASH SR-2M Veresk submachine gun.
"Hey!" hollered Katsuya, running up to catch up with his friend and buddy.
"Let's go, Lila." sighed Najica, glad that another day had just ended.
"All right, Najica." The Humaritt nodded her head, following her master back to her helicopter.
Gento, on the hand, stayed behind with Rena and Shinobu, helping CRI Intelligence personnel clear out the rest of Pewnt's former Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter.
Chapter 9 END
PS
Pindad Jagawana PM1A1
- Indonesian version of the Beretta M12 submachine gun made by Pindad. It's different from the Italian weapon as it has a green body, with the weapon being chambered with the Russian 9 x 21mm bullet. According to Pindad's English website, the PM1A1 was mainly issued to forest rangers as the weapon was potent enough to critically injure poachers.
Special Boarding Unit (SBU)
- One of the special forces unit in the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces (JMSDF), was trained by various American Navy SEAL personnel back in 2001 and was primarily tasked to go after rogue Korean People's Navy (KPN - DPRK's navy) ships that stray towards Japanese territory, though they could be used as Japan's contingent in any UN-sanctioned mission; this move could be countered by most Asian countries as the move could remind them of pre-WWII atrocities committed by the former Japanese army. Called Tokubetu keibi tai in Japanese.
Special Security Team (SST)
- One of the special forces unit of the Japan Coast Guard (JCG); they were raised in 1996 near Kansai Airport by American Navy SEAL personnel and are trained to respond to hostile actions from within Japanese waters alongside the Special Security Force. Called Tokushu Keibi tai in Japanese.
