Yakushi, Cai and Jenova infiltrated the military base to save the rest of the group. Despite leaving a mess on the hangar bay, they managed to stay out of site. Until they heard a familiar voice shouting in a nearby room. They went to investigate, it was Emile being interrogated by an officer, and two guards were standing by the door.

"I told you! I don't know what you're talking about!" shouted Emile.

"You're testing my patience!" said the officer, pulling out a combat knife.

Cai and Jenova dropped behind each of the guards and took them out silently, Yakushi dropped directly on the officer and kicked his knife away.

"Yakushi! Cai! Jenova!" said Emile. "You couldn't have come at a better time!"

Yakushi pushed the officer against the wall and pulled out Vengeance, he had the officer gunpoint now.

"Tell me what I want to know and you'll be free to go…" he said.

"Screw you! As if!" shouted the officer.

Yakushi looked around, and noticed a window, they were pretty high up, the fall could kill one already. Yakushi threw the officer near the window and pulled out the Retribution.

"The odds aren't exactly good on your end, the way I see it, you have two ways down, express or coach…"

"Listen buddy, I ain't telling you shit, there's a whole army guarding this base, no way you can make it out alive." Said the officer.

"Not the answer we were looking for." Added Jenova as she knocked the officer's stomach with her gun.

"You all will die! You hear me? You all will!"

Before he could finish, Emile interrupted and kicked the officer off the window, and fell to his death.

"Goodbye SIR!" said Emile sarcastically as he picked up a rifle of a dead guard. "Follow me, I know where the rest are held."

They were heading for the prison cell, it was lightly guarded and the squad took them all out. They found Azaria, Noah and Darren just sitting in a single cell. Sad to say, they all look pretty beaten up.

"Good Lord! What happened to you all?" exclaimed Emile.

They weren't able to speak properly, their wounds were severe and require medical attention.

"We need to get them out of here, fast!" said Yakushi.

"But how? We can't get to a hospital at this pace!" complained Emile.

Yakushi holstered his guns and drew out his sword, he then stood in front of a wall, and gave it a full force swing. And just like that, the wall shattered.

"Woah!" said Jenova.

"We can discuss how I did it later, for now, Jenova, I think you should escort Emile and the others to a hospital, it should be a clear run from here on.…." Said Yakushi.

"I understand."

"Cai and I will find Samantha and Norami, get out of here!"

"Aye! Be careful you two!" said Emile.

"Roger that!" said Cai and Yakushi.

Cai and Yakushi decided to travel the area via the vents, they travelled as fast as they could, until eventually, they found Norami and Samantha. They were still inside containers, deep asleep or knocked out. But the area was heavily guarded, not just by soldiers, but by armoured demons too.

"Is the military working with demons now?" whispered Cai.

Yakushi didn't say anything, as his mind stumbled into deep thoughts, he recalled taking the form of a demon, despite being a slayer himself.

"Yakushi… Yakushi!" said Cai.

"Huh? Ugh… sorry…" said Yakushi, shaking his head.

"You alright?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine…"

"Sure? Doesn't seem like it…. How'd you get loose anyway?"

"…It… It doesn't matter now, we need to save Norami and Samantha…"

"Right, of course… yeah…"

"There's no way to sneak past them and….."

"And what?"

Yakushi then noticed that Cai was still wearing the military uniform, just without a helmet.

"Maybe we could use the same trick on how you got in.. just without the fireworks…"

"Hmm? I don't get it…"

Yakushi then spotted two guards standing near them, he thought no one would notice if they were to be missing. He slowly opened the vents and at the same time, Yakushi and Cai twisted both the soldiers necks. They brought their bodies in and switched uniforms, they looked a lot like military soldiers now. The two got out the vent and walked towards the containers. They passed by a couple of demon soldiers, until one of them actually spoke.

"Stop!" said the demon. "You two…. Smell funny…"

"What's it to you big guy?" said Cai.

Yakushi stretched his hand in front of Cai, the demon drew its blade and pointed it at Cai.

"You…. Learn to know your place….. I'll be keeping an eye on you two…"

The demon walked away, and Yakushi stared at Cai for some time.

"What?" said Cai.

"N-nothing…. Try to keep it down eh? We're sneaking in after all…" replied Yakushi.

"Oh… I'm sorry…"

"Come on… we've got to get them out of here…"

Yakushi headed for the console controlling the containers, he set it to open up and quickly ran as far away as he could from the containers without being seen.

"What're you doing?" said Cai.

"Stay down…." Said Yakushi.

The containers opened up, and it caught the attention of the guards and demons. Yakushi removed his helmet and disguise and drew out Retribution and Redemption.

"I'll take care of the diversion, there's a military jeep just parked south of here, I need you to…" said Yakushi.

"No way Yakushi!" said Cai.

"huh? Cai…?"

"You've risked a lot for us already… let me back you up at least! We'd stand a chance against these bastards… Like it or not, I'm fighting along side you!"

Cai then removed her disguise and drew out her dual blades, she started attacking the unaware guards. Yakushi gave a smirk and followed up, the two of them were fighting almost impossible odds back to back. Cai was right, they did stand a chance, originally Yakushi wanted to unleash the devil within upon them, but despite the impossible odds, he was smiling while fighting alongside a skilled friend like Cai.

"Watch my back then…" said the two.
