Chapter 35: Fujimi Nightmare-Part 4
As soon as Otaku did his infamous blood roar, we knew for a fact...that this war was soon going to be over with.
"Maybe we can find out why EPSILON is wanting to start World War III, he's the kind of warlord who gets his kicks on war business." I said to Otaku as he was washing his face and removing the blood.
"EPSILON is the kinda guy who can make Eric Snowden look like a catholic priest serving a sunday mass." Otaku replied with a reference to a rouge CIA agent who tried to give American secrets to the Russian Federation.
Otaku then got up and said, "We need to keep moving, we'll be able to find out more about EPSILON when we get the chance." He slung his carbine assault rifle over his shoulder. We kept moving until we got to the Takagi mansion where most of the fighters were being stationed along with Balalaika.
"What news did you find out?" Balalaika asked, and Otaku then handed her a small manilla folder containing the information on the data collected about EPSILON.
"We haven't found out who EPSILON is, but we need to get some info that we could work with on who is the mystery man." Otaku said as he tried to fill in his superior. With all the Intel given on the somewhat enemy, it was back to slaughtering the enemy and collecting more information.
As soon as we went outside, Mr. and Mrs. Takagi appeared and wanted to have a word with Otaku. And so they went ahead of me, but I couldn't resist and decided to tail them and listen to the conversation. Otaku said that he was planning on staying with Balalaika as long as she can offer him work and that he's most loyal to her along with his comrades and money.
"We have absolute reason to believe that EPSILON will stop at nothing to achieve another World War." Otaku said, trying to focus more on peace instead of war.
I know it kinda sounded strange, but a mercenary like Otaku seeking peace? It just made me want to laugh. Just then, Otaku pulled out his Glocks and started shooting. He knew I was hiding, but how did he figure out that I was in hiding?
"Could you tell me why you just opened fire like that?" Mr. Takagi asked, Otaku glared at the position I was in.
"I know you're there, come out and stop evasdropping on us. I'll keep shooting until you come out. And you have ten seconds to comply." Otaku said trying to make me come out of the hiding spot, and I did. I had my hands raised above my head.
"How much of this conversation did you hear?" Mrs. Takagi asked, I listened to every word, even about Otaku and peace.
"Since when do you believe in peace Otaku?" I asked him, but he just shook his head.
"I don't, I believe in small controlled wars, and not all out bloodbaths like this. People like EPSILON need to be brought down without any hesitation. That is my one true belief." Otaku answered, He knew for a fact that he was still behind Balalaika with this. Just then, the front gate was smashed opened by another Uber psycho. Along with some regular psychos, and for the cherry on top, a follower of EPSILON.
"You two, take care of the little ones, I'll get the big guy all to myself." Otaku said. He then charged into another battle, this big psycho was carrying a samurai sword. Otaku then pulled out his machete, but Saeko armed with a real katana stepped in.
"May I have this dance? I'd like to see what kind of style he has with a sword." Saeko suggested.
"By all means, I won't stop you from having a fight to the death with this thing." Otaku said. He then stepped aside and let the two samurai put on a display of skill for him, Otaku then pulled out a cigarette and lit it up and took a smoke. But his smoke break was shortly interrupted by a small handful of psychos. Armed with only a machete, Otaku managed to cut down the men in half the time. Ripping them and stabbing them, he showed no remorse to any of his enemies. Covered in blood and gore, it showed his true nature. A violent, pscychopathic killer with no regrets of what he's done.
"Damn it, I was just smoking that too." Otaku said as he tossed the wet cigarette aside and pulled out a fresh one. I needed one to calm my nerves, so I bummed a smoke off of Otaku and he lit me up. Saeko then turned the monster into mince meat and killed him as soon as the dust settled, the only person left standing was the follower of EPSILON.
Saeko then walked up to him and said, "Where's your boss?" The man was scared from what happened to the monster.
Otaku then walked up,"If I may, where is EPSILON?" He stabbed the machete into the man's leg and it started to bleed. Saeko then held out his hand, Otaku then used the machete and cut it off. The man screamed in pain, they were ready to take the other hand.
"Don't! Please, I'll tell you whatever you want. Just stop doing this." The follower said trying to strike a deal with the killers.
"Why don't you answer the gentleman's question?" Saeko asked.
"We don't know where he is, we just get a message from an undisclosed location, and he keeps moving around. No one keeps track of him and he's untraceable too. That's all I know." The man said trying to plead for his life, but I wanted in on the action as well.
I armed myself with a Sig Sauser 9mm pistol, walked up to him and said..."I hope you said your fucking prayers, 'Cause it time for you to go to sleep." I pulled the trigger of the pistol and killed the man with a direct headshot. Now I know how it feels to take a human life.
"You did good, we still got work to do." Otaku said as he placed his hand on my shoulder and patted it. I needed something to get my mind off of the fact, that I'm going to abandon my life as a regular boy.
"What do I have to do to get me and my friends to join the inner circle of Hotel Moscow's connections?" I asked. Otaku then smirked and knew where I was going.
"Talk to Balalaika, prove to her that your group is worthy to join her ranks. Then and only then can you join this crime circle." Otaku said as he was getting ready to join the fight. I needed to persuade Balalaika that my group should be capable enough to join the inner crime circle.
I then walked into an office, where a blond woman was sitting and she had a huge scar going down the right side of her face and covering most of her upper body. She sat there smoking a cigar and talking stratagey in Russian with her comrades.
"Is there something you wish to discuss with me?" Balalaika asked.
I nodded and replied, "I wish to have my group to join your inner connections with the rest of your fellow allies. What do I have to do, to join in?"
Balalaika then saw the determination in my face, "Alright, you want in? If you can help Otaku and Revy to find out where the purge mist is coming from along with any information on EPSILON, then I'll consider letting you join." She said.
And without hesitation, I gathered my team, armed ourselves to the teeth, and went out to get some action.
