Chapter 21

(Mizuki's pov)

"Rachael? Did you bring something good?"

"Yup. Plenty of food and supploes I raided from an ADVENT outpost. Had help from a couple of resistance members who planned an attack on them."

"Cool cause I'm hungry."

Days have passed and I've been and in this ruined city for a while. ADVENT soldiers are what scares me the most...they kidnap innocent civilians for sick experiments and kill any resistance members in the vicinity. Thankfully they weren't lucky finding her in raids on ADVENT outposts cause of how she conceals her identity. Who am I? The names Mizuki Miramoto. 13 year genius prodigy on machine and computers. Remember that. The woman coming in the ruined house is 24 year old Rachael Miramoto. My older sister. Now...how did this whole scenario happen? I'll tell ya...X-Com 2...the game. Yes. For some reason the game warped me and Rachael into the X-Com universe in the ruined part of new York City that reminds me of something out of this war of mine. Ever since then, we've been doing our best in surviving and avoiding ADVENT who have been going on a hunt for unarmed civilians. Yeah...that's scary. I could be minding my own business and a trooper could kidnap me before I could even know it. Thankfully...the MECS(one is a heavy that's leading the two MECS.) that I managed to take control(and some modifications to make them more combat efficient.) of are my security in case those scumbags decide to raid us. I maybe young but I'm a quick learner with it comes to machine(think of me as the kid from Fallout 4 who goes around with a sentry bot but much worse. Yes...I am that dangerous to ADVENT.) and that's something ADVENT gets paranoid about when they send their machine units in the city. My motto? The network will lead me to the path to my salvation and my enemies downfall.

Now...with that out of the way...let's get to what's going on now...when Rachael gave me an ADVENT burger (this things are about as nasty as a McDonald's burger.) when I was surfing through the web looking any news about Dante (yeah I found about him of how he became the viper king. Then there's Roman who's a Muton and Giovanni a Ethereal. ADVENT pretty much crossed the line with them and are surely fucked crossing with them.) when I found something about a recent event in Germany.

"Look. ADVENT is playing victim about a kidnapping at Germany." I said as I watching the news.

Huh...Kind of reminds me of a certain bitch who loves to play the victim but extort people's (including my contacts) Internet accounts with false DMCA for something that she doesn't own the rights to (hope justice gets served on you for your stupidity in court.).

*A/N: if you can guess who she's referring too then you can understand that little rant.*

Anyway(now that I got that out of my system.)...they were talking about how Dante got Giovanni out of the facility and escaped Germany with the help of the "terrorists". Yes I say "terrorist" in quotations cause that's how ADVENT get support from the people when the resistance try to get rid of ADVENT. Now...the elders are pissed about this but guess what? If they cared about Giovanni so much why did they not show up to save him? I'll tell ya why...they got too worried about their fucking project (that I took the time to study on.) than Giovanni and according to the rogue Codex I hacked, she told me that Giovanni was suffering mental abuse from them which pissed Giovanni the fuck off(and he's never the kind of guy who gets angry so easily.).

"Oh god...who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put the "You don't say." Meme for a viper king?" Rachael shuddered.

"You just had to bring that up..." I sighed.

What she's talking about is that someone did a sketch on the side of the page near the video of what looks like Dante as the viper king doing the "You don't say." Meme(yes. That fucking funny meme.) just to give some unwanted attention to him. Kind of ironic when ADVENT try to take matters serious when there's a meme I wasn't sure if it was for ADVENT to spread nonsense of how much of a threat of society or from someone just to spread the word to some ADVENT forces to defect ADVENT for the greater good...but whatever it is for whatever purpose I don't want to see that picture cause it looks fucking terrifying. Liked it better when Nicholas Cage did it.

"Can't believe people believe those assholes..." Rachael frowned.

"Oh they won't be playing victim for long..."

I started uploading the video of Giovanni getting angry at the elders to Germany. Not one minute and people are typing comments like "WTF!?" or "The hell is going on?" When it gets to part of Giovanni getting furious and ranting at the elders. Now the people got angry finding out when Giovanni ranted about his mental abuse. Not a minute later and ADVENT looked like they were about to go on a witch hunt cause they threatened if whoever doesn't remove the video, they would find that person and face punishment. Unfortunately for them, I have control of their Codexs so they can't do shit about it.

"Halt. Intruder."

I look out the window of the door to see a man in a hoodie putting his hands up as the MECS have their weapons pointed at him getting ready to shoot him. Seems Rachael knows him cause she looked shocked to see him. We quickly got out of the house as Rachael got in front of me with her hand clutching on her katana.

"You're the guy who saved me from officer guy at the supermarket...what are you doing here?" Rachael frowned.

"I'm from the Italy resistance. I was ordered to get you two out of the city to get you to safety." He says with concern.

"Let me guess. Your boss is the one who isolated of my Codexs in his computer?" I crossed my arms.

The man was surprised of how I said that and I just smirked that I hit the jackpot...

"Yes. ADVENT forces are coming and they want the kid alive for causing trouble in their operations."

Shit...my Codexs should've told me about this sooner...fucking asshole had to isolate my Codex in the computer of his preventing her to tell me what's going on...guess I don't have much of a choice...

"Fine...but we're keeping an eye on you. You do anything stupid and you are dead. Got it?" I look at the man with a frown.

"You have my word."

He better...or he's target practice...

*Sorry if this is a bit short(it's really hot in here and I can't think straight that I might have to fix the chapter if the weather is any better. ) but Before I go, I just saw a new video of X-Com the war of the chosen and saw a video of the Warlock...and I got to say...we are fucked. Why? His abilities are psionics and that's never good. Chain reaction mind controls!? Summoning psionic humanoids that behave like suicide bombers?! Does that not spell trouble?! So I was kind of right that the chosen behaved like it was some sort cult when the warlock mentioned "Gods." Oh boy...so we got a night sister knock off and a nut case who believe in gods. What's next? The hunter acting like the end from snake eater? Please don't be true cause I will get mad. On related news, ChristopherOdd has made a video about the war of the chosen and holy shit was it awesome. Plus we have now identified the assassin's real name. Her name is Dhar-Mai Tessura a.k.a the nightdemon. Explosives(unless you plan to make her deal fall damage.) can't do shit to her but reapers can fuck her up her real hard(that came out dirty.). So I highly advise to prepare yourself for the upcoming battle against the chosen. Now here's an interesting scene...you would think that the chosen are siblings that are inseparable and love each other like any other siblings would. Nope. They hate each other's guts like when the hunter tried to snipe the assassin or when the hunter trash talked to piss off the warlock or when they were going to fight each other before the elders made contact with the chosen. That's all I have to say. This is Yorkmanic88 signing off and I'm going to lock my doors before the assassin finds me...*
