"What's more, regarding the Hunter Classroom-" Karasuma began. He was in a meeting with some of his superiors, trying to get his students some more aid. Hey, he might not be their teacher any more, but his students left a special mark on his heart.
"We already know. You want to have us support the HC. We've talked about it very heavily, and have finally reached a decision." one of his superiors said. Karasuma waited anxiously. A few minutes later, he walked out the meeting room. As he entered his office, he spotted his girlfriend of three years waiting for him.
"So? How did it go?" Irina asked. Karasuma sat at his desk with an impassive look on his face. He couldn't help but let his lip twitch though, something Irina quickly noticed.
"You twitched. Something good happened, didn't it?"
"You can say that. My bosses finally agreed to provide aid. Weapons, resources, information, even certain agents. In return, the HC will have to agree to collect bounties that I give my approval to."
"That's awesome news!" Irina cheered as she reached across the desk and pulled Karasuma into a hug. "We've really worn those guys down, haven't we?" They have been asking their superiors to help their former students for a long time now.
"Well, our services have served them well." Karasuma said as he put on his serious mask again.
"Are you bragging?" Irina poked as she sat on the desk.
"I'm merely stating the truth." Karasuma said. He looked up at Irina. "You said that there's someone here to meet me?"
"Yep. And you didn't even notice him when you walked in." Irina said. Karasuma raised a brow and looked behind him. Nagisa smiled cheekily back at his former teacher.
"Hello Nagisa. I suppose you already heard the news."
"Yep. But I have a feeling that there's a catch." Nagisa said.
"Unfortunately, there is. You have to complete at least one A Class mission. Lovro told you about the mission ranking system, right?"
"Yep. The higher the bounty, the higher the difficulty, the higher the ranking. They scale from C- to S+."
"Correct. The mission takes place in an old oil factory in Thailand. Thailand's government had told us that there are rumors about how there is supposedly an illegal weapons vault, performed by a Japanese citizen. The mission is to investigate and arrest."
"Huh, that actually plays into our plan rather well." Nagisa noted.
"Really? How?"
"Well you see, we received a tip about how there was an important someone in the same location. I was wondering if we could have some equipment to use for the mission there." Nagisa said.
"I see. Do you think you can do both missions at once?"
"Yes, but there's something I'd like to ask."
"What is it?"
"Do we still have some anti-sensei gear?" Karasuma and Irina frowned at this. The members of the Assassination Classroom would never ask for such equipment, which meant one thing.
"You think there might be tentacle beings?"
"I hope there aren't, but it wouldn't hurt to be prepared." Nagisa said. "We also might need some more members for something else as well. Something, well, confidential." Karasuma raised a brow.
"Government issued? Or freelance."
"Freelance, if possible. Combat oriented."
"Alright, I'll make some calls. This is the usb containing the information on the mission." Karasuma said as he handed it over. "Any requests on the equipment and recruits?"
"Actually, I don't know if this is a good idea, but…"
-Line Break-
"Oh ho ho! What have we here? Come to defend your 'samurai honor' old man?" Karma giggled as he held up tubes of wasabi and mustard.
"Very funny kid. Hope you're still a challenge, or this will be over much too soon, hm." Grip growled as he cracked his fingers.
"Bwa ha ha ha! Shounds rike fun! Ow 'bout oo? Reedy for our remach?" Gastro taunted around his revolver in his mouth. Ryu and Rinka narrowed their eyes and held up their own pistols in response.
"Come on guys, let's calm down." Red-eye said as he walked in between the two groups. John leaned over to Toka.
"I recognize Red-eye, but who are the other guys?"
"Assassins once hired by Takaoka. They double-crossed him when he tried to kill us, so they're in the clear. Not sure about the other guy though." Toka replied. John frowned as he looked towards Nagisa. They were all meeting in a building assigned to them by the government. All of the Hunter Classroom were there, along with the assassins that Nagisa asked to be there and a few new recruits. There were also about a dozen agents that Karasuma sent with equipment and gear. Nagisa was currently standing with his arm up and with a whip wrapped around it, having defended himself.
"I suggest you put down your weapon." Nagisa said calmly.
"What, and let you use nekodamashi on me again? Nice try brat." the whip wielding assassin growled. He had attacked Nagisa as soon as he saw him, and the two were in a standstill.
"It's called the Stun Clap, and what would I use it on the person I hired?" Nagisa asked rhetorically. Whip growled before allowing the whip to unravel.
"Nagisa, I don't think we know this guy yet." Kayano said.
"I met him one night when mom tried to burn down the campus." Nagisa explained.
"Wait, what?!"
"Don't worry about it."
"That's something that should be worried about!"
"So, what's the job? Karasuma called us up and said that the Assassination Classroom need us for a job." Smog said.
"There's a bounty hunter tournament." Nagisa said. Grip and Gastro looked up.
"A tournament?" Gastro repeated.
"Well, isn't this interesting." Grip smiled slightly.
"So, you hired us to go to a tournament? Well, that will be a waste of time." Whip scoffed as he began to walk out. "I'm not interested in this job. But know this." he turned and pointed to Nagisa.
"Since you are now an official bounty hunter, I'll be coming for you soon. You humiliated me, and I won't stand for it." Whip warned as he walked out. The group was silent for a bit before Grip spoke up.
"Well, I'm not planning on leaving, hm. Who knows? Maybe I'll get some good fights in, hm." Grip grinned.
"My gun is quite tasty right now." Gastro said as he took his pistol out of his mouth. "I have a good feeling about this."
"I'll go along too. Should be a good place to see some more colors." Red Eye said as he made a circle with his fingers and peered through it.
"I'll play the supporting role, if you don't mind. I'm not really all about face to face assassination." Smog said.
"That's fine. We'll be leaving Okuda in your care." Nagisa said.
"We'll be watching you, just in case. No offense." Sugino said as he and Itona stepped up.
"None taken. It's important to keep your guard up." Smog nodded.
"Okay. Red Eye, Gastro, and Grip will be going along with Karma and Rinka." Nagisa said.
"Actually, Nagisa, I'm kinda thinking about going with the tournament." Ryu spoke up.
"Really? Why?" Nagisa looked at Ryu with slight surprise.
"If this is about the money, you will be receiving a chunk of prize anyways." Karma said.
"We're in the same group. And if I'll be receiving the money, I at the very least want to earn it." Ryu said. "Putting that aside, only two members of the original HC? Even with John included-"
"But he's not the only one included." Karma interrupted. He nodded to the tentacle wielder in question. John grinned and walked over to the door. He grabbed it and pulled it open.
"Come on in!" he said. Ryu looked in surprise as Terasaka, Yoshida, Muramatsu, Hazama, Kanzaki, and Maehara walked in.
"Four snipers? Seems like overkill and unbalance to me. Good thing I called in the Terasaka gang instead." Karma said.
"Kanzaki insisted on coming along when I told her about this tournament. She'll be taking my place in the tournament." Sugino said as he walked over to the black haired beauty.
"I've been wanting to help out for a while now." Maehara shrugged.
"We'll take care of the tournament, so don't worry Chiba. Just focus on your mission." Terasaka said. Ryu looked at the members, but nodded.
"The rest of us will be carrying out the mission we were assigned. As for the payment, the prize for the tournament is 800 million yen. Should we obtain the prize, the freelance members will receive fifty-five percent. The rest will be kept by the HC. Is that okay?"
"Hey, as long as I get a good fight, I'll take only five percent, hm." Grip said.
"I-"
"Hey AzureWriter83! We all know that they're all going to say yes, just get on with the chapter so we can get to the action!" John yelled towards the ceiling.
Fine.
-Line Break-
"We're approaching the vault. Drop off in three minutes." the pilot said. Nagisa nodded as he looked at the group. Ryu, Kayano, Yada, Isogai, Ritsu, and Maehara, along with the twelve agents that Karasuma assigned to them.
"Three minutes, get ready everyone!" he yelled over the sound. The group was in a special fighter plane, almost two miles above the vault. Ryu nodded along with others, but was silent.
"You worried?" Maehara asked the boy next to him as he spun one of his knives. He frowned. "Wait, is this one of those scenes in movies where a guy doesn't talk to someone because they have a grudge against them?"
"What? No. I'm just worried about something, it's nothing." Ryu shook his head. Maehara looked at him suspiciously. He grinned.
"I know! You're worried about Hayami!" Ryu looked at him with a 'duh' look on his face.
"Well, yeah, she's my girlfriend. Of course I'm worried about my girlfriend who's going to a tournament between several groups who will be trying to kill each other." Ryu said. Maehara sweatdropped at this.
"Okay, good point. But come on, Karma, Rinka, Kanzaki, the assassins, and the Terasaka gang? That group can handle anything." Maehara grinned at the sniper.
-with the tournament team-
"WE CAN NOT HANDLE THIS!"
-back with the rescue team-
"So don't worry. They got this. And so do we!" Maehara said proudly. Ryu looked at him for a few seconds, before grinning slightly back.
"Yeah, I guess." he said. Yada leaned over to them.
"I think it's sweet to see you worried about Hayami. It makes me think about John." Yada said.
"Oh yeah, the guy from the alternate universe." Maehara said. "You like him?"
"I talked to him for a bit, and I can definitely tell why I'm, well, the other me, is attracted to him. I wonder if I can find my own John." she said.
"7.6 billion people in the world Yada. There's bound to be one." Maehara said.
"You would know, 'Womanizing Scumbag'." Yada teased.
"Hey! I'll have you know I'm in a steady relationship with Okano." Maehara said.
"Really now?" Yada asked skeptically.
"Pay attention people! Time to go!" Nagisa yelled. He walked between the two sides of the plane. He had a parachute strapped on over a pair of katanas. He had two pistols on his belt as well. He slammed a fist on the red button, turning it green. The door opened, sending wind into the plane. He stumbled slightly, but ran forward and leapt out. Maehara sheathed his knives before walking forward. He grinned at Isogai.
"See ya at the ground buddy!" he saluted as he flipped out. Isogai chuckled as he ran forward and dove out the plane after his best friend. Yada led the twelve members out as well. Kayano made to follow before stopping to look at Ryu.
"Thanks for helping me out Chiba." she said before jumping out. Ryu paused to check his rifle one last time before running out as well.
The sniper pulled his body into a dive, zooming down to the ground. He narrowed his eyes from the wind and mist as he fell through some clouds. The clouds suddenly gave way, revealing a large, old, oil factory. He and the group spun, controlling their falls. Eventually, Nagisa, who was still leading the fall, pulled the cord of his parachute. The thick sheet lunged out the bag, expanding quickly. The rest of the group followed his lead, using their own parachutes.
"Six targets." Nagisa's voice sounded off in his earpiece. "Estimated time before being detected is forty seconds. Mark 'em."
"Roger that." Ryu said. He looked through his scope and with Nagisa's direction, he shot six tranq bullets. Six bodies fell asleep. The group was able to land on the roof undetected. Nagisa and Kayano readied their pistols as they went either side of a door while the rest of the group handcuffed the guards to each other with bags over their heads. Nagisa cautiously opened the door, and led the group down. The inside of the oil factory looked normal, with many shut down machines around them.
"There's nothing here." one of the agents said.
"Let's look around." Nagisa said. Maehara and Isogai pulled out their knives and held them at the ready. The group scattered, Ryu scaling up a ladder to the walkway. He knelt down with his rifle at the ready. He kept looking over the floor below, ready to provide aid.
"Nagisa! I found something!" Kayano called. Ryu climbed down the ladder and joined the rest of the HC as they jogged over. The thing Kayano found was a trapdoor. Nagisa and the group readied their weapons as Kayano pulled it open. A flight of stairs was revealed, with dim lights lighting them.
"We found something too!" one of the agents said. They showed Nagisa the trapdoor they found.
"Okay then, let's split up." Nagisa decided.
"Are you crazy? Haven't you seen any horror movies? Group of friends? An abandoned setting? Splitting up?" Maehara practically scolded/shrieked. Nagisa deadpanned at Maehara.
"We are heavily armed assassins. Haven't seen a movie like that."
"Then you haven't seen Kill List."
"Anyways, not only do we have a mission to carry out,"
"Famous last words." Maehara grunted as Isogai punched his arm.
"There's a chance that Ms Yukimura is down there." Nagisa said. Maehara was quiet at this, before groaning.
"Fine. but we don't split more than in half. I'm not taking a bigger chance than that." Maehara said.
"Alright then." Nagisa said. He separated the group, with six agents in each group. The group going down the trapdoor that Kayano found had Nagisa, Kayano, and Yada. The group that was going down the trapdoor the agents had found had Isogai, Maehara, and Ryu. Ryu nodded to the three assassins in the other group as they separated. He looked around as they walked down the stairs.
"Feeling nervous?" Maehara asked the sniper.
"A little. We don't know anything about this place." Ryu said.
"Well, Nagisa did have a point. We are highly trained assassins, and we have six agents that Mr Karasuma signed over to us." Maehara said. "We should be good. Unless we run into Slenderman or something."
"First, Slenderman could be killed with headshots by a rifle, like the one Ryu is holding. Second, Slenderman isn't a horror movie character, he's a Creepypasta." Isogai said.
"What? You kidding man? Slenderman had his own horror movie!"
"A PG-13 movie. One that has 3 stars on IMC. Not to mention the fact that Slenderman was originally a Creepypasta, not a slasher." Isogai countered. The two continued to argue.
"Is this normal?" one of the agents whispered to Ryu.
"Hey. This is what makes us charming." he shrugged. He turned back to the two friends. He noticed an upcoming door.
"Hey, pay attention." he said. The two stopped arguing and saw the door. Isogai and Maehara walked forwards cautiously and slowly opened the door. They walked in and let out a whistle.
"Dude, you have to see this." Maehara said. Ryu walked in, his rifle at the ready. He looked around, eyes widening slightly. The room was giant, with lots of light, causing the group to stop as their eyes adjusted. The room was filled with a lot of tables. On the tables were many different types of weapons. The group scattered as they examined the weapons. Ryu looked around, stopping when he saw one specific gun. It looked like a large, clunky pistol. Ryu picked it up.
"Hey, don't leave any fingerprints!" one of the agents yelled.
"I'm wearing gloves." Ryu said, holding up a hand. They were covered with military grade sniper gloves.
"Oh. Okay." the agent said. Ryu went back to examining the gun. He pressed a button on the side, before nearly dropping it as it shifted and unfolded in his hands. It became a rifle, one that perfectly fitted his hands. He blinked.
"What weapon is this?" he wondered.
"According to this, it's a shape shifting weapon. Called the Requiem." Isogai said as he looked through a computer monitor. "Pretty damn dangerous. Apparently it has about fifteen different functions."
"Well, that's pretty neat." Ryu said.
"It also contains a Tachyon Atom Cannon."
"Well, that's pretty dangerous." Ryu said.
"Tachyon Atom Cannon?" Maehara asked.
"A weapon designed to break apart matter at an atomic level.
"That is very dangerous." Ryu said.
"Well, this is definitely something dangerous for us to turn in." one of the agents said.
"Yeah. Let's check up on Nagisa." Ryu said. He took out his phone. But just before he dialed Nagisa's contact, Ritsu appeared on his screen. She looked at them in panic.
"Nagisa and the others in trouble!"
"What's wrong?!"
"Someone is here, and they have a powerful exosuit that they're using! They're struggling to fight back, you have to go help them!" Ritsu said. Ryu ran out of the weapon vault, not realizing until he was halfway up the stairs that he was still carrying the Requiem.
"Oh well, might come in handy." he shrugged. He and the rest of the crew ran out.
-Five minutes earlier-
"This is kinda creepy." Nagisa said as he walked through the long room. It was filled with machines, said machines seemed to be filtering some sort of weird liquid. Kayano looked over the liquid. She frowned.
"Nagisa, these are antimatter serums." she said.
"You sure?" Nagisa asked as he walked over.
"I'd recognize them anywhere. I promise." Kayano said.
"Hey guys, I think there's something here." Yada said. Kayano and Nagisa both looked up.
"We'll dispose of this later. Right now, let's see if we can find your sister." Nagisa said. They both began walking over to Yada. Nagisa stopped. He looked around, his eyes narrowed. Kayano looked back at him. He looked and nodded. Kayano nodded to Yada. They drew their weapons. Nagisa a pistol, Kayano two pistols, and Yada some strange containers, catching the attention of the agents. They also pulled out their weapons.
"You can come out, or you can be dragged out." Nagisa warned. A low chuckle rang out.
"I see. You can sense bloodlust, hm? You're just as deadly as I heard." a voice said. Nagisa slowly looked around as he drew a katana.
"What exactly is it you heard?" Nagisa questioned.
"That you took down my cousin, Michio Uyeda. And your friend took down his sister, Yasuko Uyeda. That makes you a target for me. But don't worry, you also saved my brother. Which is why I'll kill you quickly." the new Uyeda said.
"Cousin of both the Uyedas we took down? You must be Tetsunori Uyeda." Nagisa said.
"That's right." Tetsunori said.
"This works out well. You were going to be our next target." Nagisa said. He secretly gestured for Kayano and the others to begin moving.
"Oh, I don't think so." Tetsunori said. A large, shadowy figure fell down from the ceiling. It was almost twice as big as Nagisa, towering well over him. It was a massive exosuit, ready to destroy them.
"Did anyone tell you you look like a rip off Bane?" Nagisa asked. He pointed his pistol and fired. The agents also opened fire, with shotguns and machine guns unloading onto the exosuited Tetsunori. He charged through the gunfire and smashed a fist towards Nagisa. He dodged, leaping back. Tetsunori gave chase, large blades sticking out of his arms. Kayano and Yada ran through the open doorway, three agents behind them. Tetsunori looked behind him in annoyance, and turned to chase them. He grunted when Nagisa kicked him with both feet, using his body as leverage to leap back.
"So what exactly brings a renowned criminal to an abandoned oil factory?" Nagisa asked.
"I was hired to protect this little vault. When I heard what happened to my cousins, I decided to let leak some information about this place, knowing it would lead you here." Tetsunori grinned as he slashed towards Nagisa. He managed to disarm Nagisa of his pistol, so the tealnette pulled out his second katana and held them both in a stance.
"So it was a trap." Nagisa growled.
"Just like the tournament." Tetsunori grinned. Nagisa's eyes widened.
-thirty minutes earlier-
"Is this the place?" John asked. The tournament group was in a massive building. There was a large, empty room in front of them. The group walked in, weapons at hand.
"Is this where the tournament is going to be?" Red Eye asked. Rinka looked at him and shrugged.
"Well well well. If it isn't my little rival." Rinka looked up. Vizio walked across the room towards Rinka. A rifle was slung over her shoulder. Rinka nodded in acknowledgement, but gasped slightly as Vizio pulled her into a hug.
"It's a trap. You have to get out of here." Vizio hissed. Rinka stiffened.
"What do you-"
"The client who hosted this thing. He's an old enemy of yours, he wants you guys dead. He promised 800 million to each person who killed one of you." Vizio hissed.
"Now now, don't be taking the fun away from this." the HC stiffened at the voice. They all whipped out their weapons, holding them at ready.
"That voice. Is it," John began.
"Hello children! My, how have you grown." a nasally voice echoed out. Slowly, Rinka looked upwards. What looked to be over forty people leered down at them from a ledge near the top. But in the middle, there stood a familiar face.
"Korosensei, might've died, but his legacy lives on through you kids. So, by killing you, I can kill him, once, and for all." Yanagisawa sneered down at them. Rinka prepared her rifle.
"Well, this is a plot twist." she sweated.
Dun dun duuuunnnn! Yanagisawa is here, and ready to rock! What will the people do? What will happen to the HC? How will this story end? You're just gonna have to follow to find out. As per the usual, leave a review! Azure out!
