"Valmet you ok?"

Valmet was still standing there unresponsive which Daniel worries about her. The Chinese woman in charge of the ambush noticed Valmet and have a stare down for a while until Valmet drops her rifle on the ground and starts charging towards the Chinese woman which confuses the team of what she's thinking.

"VALMET!" Daniel calls out but then went back to cover when he's getting shot at by the ambushers and starts turn to his teammates. "Guys cover! I'm moving to Valmet!"

"Why the hell did she break ranks?" Lehm mutters but then starts giving orders. "Guys cover, 'Devil-Dog'!"

The team agree on the plan and starts to suppressing fire on the enemy which made the ambushers duck to cover.

"DANIEL MOVE!" Lehm yelled.

"MOVING!" Daniel yells back.

Daniel moves from his cover and starts to rush after Valmet. Luckily no bullets were flying towards Daniel as the ambushers wasn't shooting back. Back with Valmet, she slashed and killed one of the ambushers from her way to the woman. Valmet and the Chinese woman were running and shooting at each other as Valmet is using her while the Chinese woman is using her pistols with bayonets. They then come face to face when the former manages to deflect both the latter's hands upward with her own.

"Nice to meet you." Said Valmet with a smile on her face as she's impressed of the woman's skills. "Let me introduce myself. Major Sophia Velmer. Ex-Major actually. Your techniques is quite unusual. I would love to hear more about it."

The woman glares at Valmet for a moment until she gives out a smirk and then replied in english.

"I'm not much for talking."

The two then literally butt heads each other before replying back to each other.

"Oh don't worry...I'll be happy to sing to your dead body when the blades dig into their flesh." Valmet threatens to the Chinese woman.

Back with Daniel, he was in a good view seeing Valmet as he's taking cover. He thought about helping her but thinks she can handle herself. But he is willing to cover for Valmet from the ambushers who would cheap shot Valmet. Daniel noticed a couple of soldiers moving into Valmet and the Chinese woman's position. He reloads his M203, aims it at the two soldiers trying to flank to get a clear shot at Valmet and fires it which it hits and exploded near them. He most likely only got one of them as he sees a soldier running to Valmet's position.

"Damn." Daniel swore in disappointment.

Daniel noticed Valmet and the Chinese are moving while fighting each other and continues to follow them. As the two are fighting, Valmet tries to shoot the Chinese woman but misses and the woman manages to jump kick Valmet's pistol away and once she lands to the ground to reload, the fighting stops for a moment.

"Ajattelinkin niin. Sama kuin mies, joka hävitti yksikön. (I thought so. Identical to the man who annihilated my unit.)" Said Valmet in Finnish and then change her language to english. "I couldn't find any clues for years, and now it drops to my lap...I'm quite excited."

"Like I give a damn." Said the woman in english.

Back to the team's position, R manage to get a view of Valmet's fight from his cover and was very impressed with Valmet's knife skill until he was interrupted when he heard Lutz scream in pain which made him turn to him.

"I got hit!" Lutz cried in pain as he rubs his wound on his butt. "Shot right in the ass!"

"Wow Lutz. That's pretty pathetic." Said R disappoint to Lutz. "Serves you right letting your guard down. Obviously just a graze so stop your crying."

Jonah starts to noticed something was a bit off and may have an idea. He crawled up to Lehm and spoke to him.

"Lehm...I think all the random gunfire starting to get to them."

"Sounds like shell shock." Said Lehm. "Combat fortige warn them down and had them breakdown from cover, right?"

"Right. Beside their lieutenant, none of them fought in the mountains. They most likely stationed in cities. I say we put down our weapons and play dead. They'll all stand up thinking they're safe...and then you can start picking them off one by one."

With this plan of Jonah, this puts a smile on Lehm's face as he reloads his sniper rifle. After the few minutes of no gun sounds, the shell shocked ambushers starts to move out from cover which gives Lehm the opportunity to strike. He takes aim and noticed two soldiers starts to break cover and separate as both of them are in shell shocked. One of them starts to just stand there which he then gets killed instantly as he took a with a .300 Win Mag bullet between his eyes by Lehm. The other doesn't know about his friend as he continues to walk casually while in shock. He then ended up the same fate as his friend when Lehm fired a round at the soldier and the bullet pierced through the side of his head. While the fight between the chinese woman and Valmet, a soldier whose under orders of the chinese woman and escape from Daniel came to the scene and noticed his boss is fighting the eye patched finnish woman. He starts to aim his rifle to get a clear shot of Valmet but before he could pull the trigger, he was stopped by the Chinese woman.

"你不敢!(Don't you dare!)" She yelled. "她是我的!(She's mine!)"

The soldier stand down but was then getting three rounds of 5.56 bullets to the chest by Daniel who thought he was about to take a cheap shot at Valmet. When the chinese woman notices one of her men get taken out by Daniel which she then fires a few rounds at Daniel which made fall to the ground. She couldn't tell if she might had hit him or not but because of her getting distracted, Valmet charges at her and had to fire on her but Valmet manage to dodge all of her shots. Valmet then gets close behind the woman and stabs her under left arm and knocking away one of her pistols before moving away from the woman. The chinese woman didn't scream in pain as she ignores it. She then noticed blood was flowing down Valmet's forehead down to her eyepatch which starts to stain a bit which she manage to wipe most of the blood off. The Chinese woman tries to continue fighting but as she tries to reload her second pistol, Valmet swiftly dashes in and slashes away her magazine pouch, also slashed the woman's right leg. The Chinese woman is now down on both knees in pain from her wounds where she now screams in pain by how badly her wounds are. Valmet stands behind her as her blood boils as she wants answers from this woman.

"You make a lot of noise." Said Valmet. "If you got the strength to scream then you got the strength to talk! Telling me your name is just simple enough!"

The woman doesn't reply as she is in pain but also in anger. Valmet starts to raise her voice as she want her to talk.

"COME ON YOU CAN SPEAK CAN YOU?! I DIDN'T SLIT YOUR THROAT YET! TELL ME! TELL ME WHO YOU ARE NOW! TELL ME WHO YOU WORK FOR! ARE YOU REALLY THAT WEAK?!"

Valmet starts to remember a flashback of her in Finnish combat military uniform and on her knees surrounded by other Finnish soldiers who are all murdered with bullets and knife wounds. Valmet knew the woman knows something about the man who murdered her team as she had the same skills as him. Before about to do any harm to the wounded chinese woman, Valmet then felt a hand on her shoulder as Daniel came beside her.

"We got to move." Said Daniel. "The others are waiting for us."

Valmet continues to stare down the injured woman until Daniel gets in front of her.

"Valmet leave her…" Said Daniel. "She's done. Her unit is already wiped out by Lehm and the others. We got to go. We're on mission."

Valmet hesitated for a few seconds as she stares the woman down but then start to walk off. By the look at what he and the team have done, Daniel starts to feel sorry for the woman. All her team wiped out and her the lone survivor. Daniel has been in that situation before and doesn't feel right about doing this to some other soldier as he has respect for them.

"I'm sorry it was like this." Said Daniel to the woman.

Daniel then walks off leaving the woman by herself. While walking back to the others, Daniel was limping for some reason but manage to catch up and keeping up with Valmet's pace who is still feeling angry. Daniel starts to feel a bit curious about what was going on with her and decided to check on her.

"You okay?" Daniel asked.

"I'm fine." Valmet answered.

"Well just to be safe you should at least-"

"I SAID I'M FINE!" Valmet snapped as she glares at Daniel.

Daniel then backs off seeing how angry Valmet is and the way she snapped. Valmet then noticed something that shocks her which brings down her anger.

"You're hurt…"

Daniel looks down to his leg and realized that Valmet noticed his gunshot wound. Daniel noticed what Valmet was looking at and that she's going to feel some guilt. Daniel starts to comfort her until...

"Valmet!"

Lehm came up to Valmet in a disappointing look on his face for what she did which could've got the whole team killed.

"Have you lost your mind?" Lehm questioned. "Why the hell did you break ranks."

"Hey, hey, hey! Now's not the time." Daniel steps in. "Aren't we here to rescue the doctor? If we are then let get a move on before there maybe more of these assholes looking for her. Possibility they're out there already found her and about to kill her."

Lehm thought about what to do as he glares at Valmet. He then gives out a defeated sigh as Daniel is right and that they needed to go rescue the doctor.

"Fine...we'll talk about this later. Daniel you'll be staying down here with Mao, Wiley, Lutz and Valmet while me, R, Tojo and Jonah go get the doctor."

"Ah come on boss I can still walk and fight."

"I can't risk you getting shot again nor have you bleeding out while you walking with us. So stay here with the others."

Daniel hate the idea but accepted to stay behind. Lehm starts to walk off with R, Tojo and Jonah to go get the doctor.

"You didn't have to cover for me." Said Valmet.

"Well...we are a team right?" Daniel asked with a smirk on his face. "Even if we're hired to protect the princess, we still watch over each other. Same in the military."

Valmet gives Daniel a nod as she agrees with him. When Daniel starts to walk off leaving Valmet alone, Valmet turns around and noticed the chinese woman is gone even though she's left a blood trial. She still wants answers from the woman as she know something about the man who murdered her unit.


In the next day as it is now mourning, there is a beautiful valley of the mountains where it is a home to so many butterflies where the weather was much warmer. In the field chasing butterflies with a net is Doctor Miami wearing a pink shirt, blue jeans and shoes and watching her is her secretary and bodyguard, Mokoena a large, dark skinned South African American man with close-cropped dark hair and fair coloured eyes and is wearing a white sweater and black pants and boots. Miami managed to snagged one with her net but had to let it go as she is looking for certain butterflies that are very rare. She continues to chase after the other butterflies flying around before Jonah popped up from a bush in front of her which scares her.

"WAAH! あなたは誰?!(WAAH! WHO ARE YOU!)" Minami screamed in japanese.

"Found the doctor." Said Jonah when he turned to his back.

Minami starts to get a good look at the boy as she may has a clue who he is.

"Hey wait a sec...you're Jonah, right? One of Koko's new recruits?" Minami asked. "I heard Koko was recruiting."

The japanese woman then noticed four other soldiers with the teenage boy. Lehm and the others start to secure the area to make sure that there aren't anymore soldiers who are after Doctor Miami.


A hours later, the team are in Port Elizabeth of South Africa staying in an old toy factory which the company is called Märchen where it is also marketed electronic toys created by Doctor Minami Amada. In a room are Daniel and R hanging out as they're drinking together. Daniel already have his leg treated but it did feels sore when he's moves it. The two are having a laugh as they're talking about Lutz.

"Can't believe Lutz's ass is cursed." Said Daniel.

"Yeah I feel bad for the poor guy." Said R.

"Heard that the doctor left out of here with her bodyguard." Said Daniel.

"Yeah Koko gave out a huge fit when she found out she's gone again."

"I figured she would do that."

R then gives out a smirk as he wants to know if Daniel and Miami are more than friends knowing the two have history.

"So…about the doctor...did you and her-"

Daniel knew where R's mind was head and stopped him before he could finish his sentence.

"R…I should kick your ass for thinking like that."

"I'm just asking." Said R. "She was really excited to see you again and got worried about you getting shot. Are you sure you two are just friends?"

"Miami is a good woman but she's not like that so yes we're just friends. Also I'm still a virgin."

R then starts to burst out laughing at Daniel for the fact he's admitting that he never had sex with anyone for which he's a virgin. Daniel remained silent until his friend laughter dies down.

"Seriously?" R questioned. "A guy like you would've getting some. I mean I've been getting some...only to my girlfriend."

"Yeah well...I've never been chasing." Said Daniel. "Mostly been by myself since of course I'm on the CIA's blacklist for stealing their money and been doing mercenary work around the world. Not only that I'm religious that I can't have sex until I'm married."

"Oh...why not just say that?"

"Maybe if you let me finish, I could've already say it."

Both of them gives out a laughter but ended when Lehm enters the room.

"Hey Daniel. Koko wants a word with you." Said Lehm.

Later, Koko is in an office room that belongs to Minami and is sitting in her desk as she's reading Miami's note given to her. She couldn't believe that she missed seeing her and that she had to run off again. Koko quickly put the note away when Daniel entered the room.

"You wanted to see me, princess?" Daniel asked.

"Yes I do." Said Koko. "Can you take a seat?"

Daniel nod in a yes response and then sits down in a chair across from Koko.

"How's your leg?" Koko asked.

"It's fine." Said Daniel.

"Good. Now to the point...Lehm told me about what happened back in the mountains."

Daniel starts to get the idea that this is about the incident with Valmet when she broke formation to fight the Chinese woman who she and her men ambushed him and the team and trying to get to Doctor Minami Amada. Daniel then gets the feeling that Koko might be thinking about firing Valmet because of her actions which he needed to defend her.

"Listen...if this about Valmet then there's no trouble about her. She's a great soldier. I know she broke formation but I manage to stay with her. She encountered an officer-"

"Karen Low."

Daniel was then surprised that Koko knows who the woman is.

"You know her?" Daniel asked.

"Not like befriends or old enemies of like that but she is an former Chinese People's Liberation Army officer and now a secretary and head of security of Tashinhai Consu, a Chinese Private company operating here in Africa for oil and natural gas as well as the advancement of Chinese influence and arms exports to the region."

"Does Valmet knows her?"

"No...but…She knows the head of Tashinhai Consu, Chan Guoming, Ex-Major General of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. I was having dinner with him while you and the team were rescuing Doctor Miami."

"Why is Valmet after him?"

Koko takes a deep sigh before answering Daniel knowing that she knows that Daniel isn't going to like the answer.

"He single handedly murdered Valmet's entire unit."

With that said, Daniel became shocked to hear that Valmet had lost her unit because of that man which explain why Valmet is on edge. Daniel then starts to see flashback of his past of him seeing his raider unit getting killed right in front of him...he tried to save them the best way he could but couldn't.

"Daniel?"

Daniel snaps out of his flashback by Koko who wonders if he's alright.

"Sorry." Said Daniel.

"You see Daniel...I'm very happy that you've watched her back and defending her...and I want you to do something for me."

"What is it?" Daniel questioned.

"I want you to watch over Valmet. I'm worried about her and may do something that might get her killed. She may also try to sneak out to go after Chan for what he did to her unit. Can you please keep her safe like you'll do fo me?"

Daniel gave some thought about Koko's request. He knew he was the right pick as Valmet lost her entire unit just like he did which this is an offer that he can't turn down.

"I will."

Koko gives out a smile as she was glad that Daniel agrees to help watch over Valmet.

"Thank you."
