"I'm not gonna get up until I see the reaction I want" she replied with a mischievous smile.
"Dear god, we're gonna be here forever you know?"
"Fine fine, killjoy"
Ump45 finally sighed and got up as she gave him a hand "Finally" yulil replied with a smile of relief.
"You're pretty strong though, never thought you could knock me to the ground" he added "Appearances can be deceiving" she answered him with a wink "So, what gives me the pleasure of being visited by you all" he asked "We missed you of course!" Ump9 replied as she was sitting on the couch alongside the sleeping g11 who's head was on her lap.
Hk416 suddenly came out from the bedroom while stretching her hands.
"Thanks for carrying Laura to the bed" yulil said to 416 "No problems, it was kinda funny seeing her collapse on top of you" she said as she joined the other 2 on the couch "Oh~ you're pretty nice to yulil aren't you" ump45 said Hk416 gave her a warning look, which only made ump45 chuckle smugly "You four can enjoy your tea, I'll be on the balcony having a smoke, I won't take long" yulil replied as they gave him a smile.
And so he went outside on the balcony of his flat as he grabbed a cigarette from his pack and lit in, he inhaled the smoke and slowly exhaled while gazing at the beautiful scenery.
Suddenly the sliding door of the balcony opened, he slowly turned his head as he noticed it was ump45, she gave him a smile and joined him.
She stood on yulil's left as she crossed her arms and rested them on the metallic barrier of the balcony.
"You've got something on your mind don't ya?" Yulil asked.
"Heh, on spot... You're starting to know me real good huh?" "So, what's wrong?...our discussion will stay between us, you can have my word" he added with a smile Ump45 exhaled deeply as she kept staring forward "It's about the contract I got today"
"Huh... mercenaries usually keep their contracts and their details top secret" "I always have... But I feel like I can talk about it with you" she replied as she gave him a sidelook with her mischievous smile.
"Oh my~ aren't I privileged to have your trust hehe, Jokes aside, what's wrong with the contract?"
"So we need to pick up a package in a hostile zone, and the contractor fitted us with some fishy modules, they do their job right and they haven't messed those 3's system but..."
"But not in your case" yulil replied "Yeah... The module keeps messing around with my system and neural cloud, it keeps giving me flashbacks about scenes and experiences that... That I never had"
"I see, but... But maybe those flashbacks are actually real, maybe a part of your neural cloud has been blocked by someone, like for example in the case of the SF ringleaders"
"That's what I'm suspecting... I feel like after this contract that part will finally be unlocked... Yet"
"Yet you're not sure if that's what you really want?"
Ump45 smiled and slowly nodded "And I came her to hear your opinion on the matter"
"Hehe, I'm flattered but you know the opinion you're after is from a guy who greets death daily right?" "Oh I know that you're in love with the grim reaper but, excluding you, there's no one that can give me trustworthy advice... So yes, the opinion I'm after is of a suicidal person" she replied with a smile "Alright alright I get it" he replied as he put his cigarette between his lips.
As he exhaled the smoke he gave ump45 an answer "If I were in your place, I would do whatever I could to unveil that blocked part of your neural cloud, I'm the kind of person that wants the truth above all, however... That doesn't mean that it's the best choice... Some doors should be left closed, Some things should be left alone, some...memories should be forgotten forever... That blocked part in your neural cloud isn't offlimits for nothing, but if you think you've got the stomach to handle whatever is inside then well, you know what to do" as he finished his speech he put back his cigarette in his mouth Ump45 scratched the back of her head and chuckled.
"Jeez yulil, your advices are as blurry as my future"
Suddenly yulil widened his eyes, like an idea popped inside his head, he turned his gaze towards ump45 and spoke up.
"Well I can't give you any good advice but... I can give you a pair of extra hands and a commander brain" he said with a wink.
Ump45 squinted her eyes and cocked her head, he kept smiling smugly.
"You don't mean..." "Spot on! I've got 2 days off and I hate doing nothing so~" Ump45 looked around her, she clearly thought that having yulil in would ease the operation, the problem was this was an already high risk contract, having him would only increase his chances of dying, and he was already a death magnet.
Yulil patted her head as she snapped back at him, he had a comforting smile on his face.
"Nothing will happen to me, you don't need to worry so much, just take care of your squad and I'll take care of myself, you know that I'm dependable 45"
Ump45 suddenly could see the face of a familiar yet unknown tdoll merged with yulil's comforting smile, the image gave her a sharp headache but she did her best to not show it, she closed her eyes for a bit before she regained her usual attitude.
"Fine fine! You're in, don't expect any compensation though~" "How shrewd, don't worry seeing you girls alive is compensating enough" he concluded as he inhaled the smoke one last time before he threw the cigarette from the balcony.
"Oh my~, talking with me like that, one may think this is a confession~" Ump45 replied as she put her hands behind her back, she gave yulil a smug smile that made him chuckle.
"Your imagination runs really wild huh? Let's just get back for now, you lil' devil" he said while ump45 pouted at his vague answer
"So when you girls are going to deploy?" Yulil asked 404 squad, they were all sitting in the living room while the news were being narrated in the background from the TV.
"Tomorrow morning... Yeah around that time" ump45 said before she grabbed her cup and drank some tea "You sure you're okay with coming with us commander yulil?" Hk416 asked, she was sitting with her legs crossed and a teacup in her hands.
"Of course, you girls helped me with getting back ar15 with no complaints besides, I've got 2 days to spend, spending them alone here would be nerve-wracking"
"Killing boredom by deploying into a highly hostile zone with only 4 delinquents as backup, as normal people do~" ump45 said while putting her cup back on the table.
"Ouch, Ain't got nothing to counter attack to that" yulil concluded as he waved his hands in a surrender-like motion, making ump45 chuckle.
"Since you won't deploy tonight, You all can stay here for the night" yulil said as he put the cup on top of the table "Yay~" ump9 said "Well, I guess it's better then sleeping in that abandoned cafe, again..." Hk416 added with a smile.
G11 gave a thumbs up without opening her eyes, keeping her sleep uninterrupted "You're really spoiling us aren't you?" Ump45 said "Then enjoy it while you can, like you said, life's too short" he said as he drank from his cup, ump45 just chuckled and did the same.
"Well, I'll go see if I've got any futons for us, 416 you and 11 can go sleep in the bedroom since you two seem close, there should be some place for 3 people in that double bed, the rest will sleep here" "Tsk, close my ass" hk416 muttered under her breath as yulil got up from the couche and went to get two futons from the bedroom, ump45 and ump9 helped him set them down while hk416 carried g11 to the bedroom they'd sleep in.
Suddenly however his laptop which was on top of the table turned on while ringing like an alarm as a Griffin military grade program automatically appeared, it seemed like someone was calling yulil, he immediately ran to the table as he accepted the transmission, it was from parabellum.
As he accepted the call a bewildered kalina was on the video feed.
"Commander! Thank god! This is really bad!" She said with a worried look "What's wrong?! Give me a sitrep kalina!" He said while ump45 and ump9 stood behind him.
"Grizzly and her squad were sent on a logistics mission to bring back rations and parts from a fellow base, but they got ambushed, right now they are currently fighting the sangvis Ferri ambushers, they're in a bad spot commander please take the chain of command!"
"Okay I've got it! Give me a satellite view on the zone and connect me to their radio frequency, now!" Kalina then tinkered with the monitor as a window with satellite coverage came on yulil's laptop, it showed that the convoy was composed of 2 humvees and a truck in the middle, there were 5 tdolls in total that could be seen, taking cover behind the armored vehicles that were on the road while firing on the SF that looked like they were hiding within the forest.
"Commander?! This is AK-47 do you copy?!" Ak47 said as yulil changed his frequency to the one kalina sent him.
"5 by 5 47, give me a sitrep"
"We are- cyka!" Ak47 said as yulil could hear the sound of bullets passing close by "We're being overrun commander! Grizzly who was leading us got knocked out by an explosion the vehicles' engines were shot and we're currently running out of ammo!, please advise!" Yulil held his chin as he focused his entire mental energy into forming a plan to get his tdolls out of the ambush.
"Can you retreat into the woods behind you?!"
"Negative! We can't leave the wounded!"
"Shit... Can you hold for 20 minutes for the reinforcements to help you?!"
"20 minutes?! We can barely hold for 5!"
A short silence replied ak47 "...5 minutes... Give me 5 minutes"
"I... Ugh! Okay I trust you commander!... But... If I die then I just need to say that I... That I-!"
"Shhh, shut up for now, you can say it to my face when you come back, but for now focus on dispensing lead on your enemies!"
"Haha! Okay! You have 5 minutes to impress me! AK-47 out!"
Ak47 then put back the radio inside the humvee as she slowly put the bleeding grizzly that were in her arms on the ground, she grit her teeth and grabbed her ak as she leaned from the Humvee's back and fired 3 shots, hitting a sangvis Ferri ripper in the torso and dropping her down.
"Alright people! We need to hold for 5 minutes and we'll get the hell out of here! Make each of your shots count!" Ak47 yelled to the teammates that were conscious "this is my last belt of ammo!" Mg3 yelled as she smacked the cover of her machinegun and pulled the bolt, loading the mg3 before she pulled the trigger and unleashed a storm of bullets towards the jagers, keeping their heads down.
"Let's hope yulil can outdo himself yet again!" Sv-98 said after she slid down from the truck to the Humvee, joining ak47.
Sv-98 then put her sniper on the cover of the Humvee's engine as she fired on a jager out of cover, the bullet pierced her throat as she fell back.
"Jackpot!" She said as she crouched back down "You good on ammo?!" Ak47 asked "One mag left!" "Damn... This is really bad..." Ak47 said, she looked at grizzly's bloodied and unconscious face as more despair consumed her.
She then remembered yulil's words, she violently shook her head twice as she peaked and fire a burst of bullets towards the wood "He can do it! I believe in him!" She said while keeping firing her short but accurate bursts Sv-98 smirked and peeked together with AK-47 as she shot down another jager.
"Where the hell are they?!" Ak47 yelled as 6 minutes passed.
Mg3 finally ran out of ammo as she only used her backup pistol as a weapon.
"We're not making it back are we?" Stg44 said as she loaded her last magazine inside her assault rifle.
Ak47 only grit her teeth and held grizzly in her arms, she ran out of ammo, most of them did too, praying that the enemy stopped advancing, praying that maybe SF would stop shooting at them and leave them be.
"He left us?" Stg44 added Ak47 bit her lower lip as she only looked at grizzly's face, Ak looked like she was about to cry as she finally gave up hope.
Then suddenly a booming sound could be heard in the sky, stg, mg3 and AK-47 all looked at each other with wide eyes before they looked in unison towards the sky, the trees' leaves and branches covered the sky as they could barely see passed them .
The sound kept increasing and increasing before ak47 finally could take a glimpse at what was coming, it looked white, as white as an angel, a guardian angel, coming to rescue them, an angel that was about to strike the enemy with its divine might.
The aircraft dived towards the enemy position "Take cover!" Ak47 yelled as everyone stopped firing and took cover, ak47 leaned and protected grizzly's body.
The aircraft kept shooting rocket after rocket after rocket before finishing the salvo with a continuous burst of bullets, the exploding rockets sent a shockwave towards the troops as they felt their body shiver, they blocked their ears the best they could but the sound was still deafening, metal parts and shrapnel kept bouncing off the Humvees, ricocheting back.
As the explosion finally quieted down AK-47 slowly opened her eyes and took a peek, she noticed that the enemy's position was completely devastated, trees were blown away, Craters were formed, limbs were everywhere, it was truly a sight to behold.
Ak47 couldn't stand anymore as she fell down on her knees while the others cheered.
"God damn yulil... I'm glad we have him with us" sv98 said as grabbed her sniper rifle from its barrel and leaned with it "He saved us! Hahah! We did it!" Mg3 said as she hugged stg44 Ak47 held grizzly in her arms as she was on her knees with grizzly's bloodied head on her lap, she looked at their saviour flying away in the distance as tears rolled down her cheeks "Commander...my guardian angel..." She softly said before she smiled ...
"I'm impressed the military accepted to help us" kalina said.
"It wasn't charity, they have a base close by, if they didn't help ak47 and her squad take care of that SF detachment then they would probably target the military's supply line... They didn't help us because they like us, it was only for their own good but hey, we both won, I gave them coordinates of SF close to their base, and they saved my squad"
"Hehe, good job like always, well I'll be leaving you now, thanks for helping us even in your day off"
"Don't even hesitate to call me in matters like these kalina okay?"
"Of course! Now keep enjoying your break commander!, See ya" kalina concluded as she gave him a salute before the transmission ended, yulil sighed as ump45 put her hand on his left shoulder, yulil turned his head as she gave him a sly smile.
"You're really an amazing leader huh? Calmly assessing the situation and giving appropriate orders, looks like I should be your student hehe" "Ah well, I don't mind it, I've got more than 15 years of experience so you'll definitely learn a thing or two, anyway I'm feeling really sleep today let's decide which one of you will sleep on the couche" Ump45 and ump9 looked at each other, each with a smirk on their faces as they played a round of rock paper and scissors, ump9 won as she jumped once in the air.
Ump45 smiled like she won "You know that you just lost and that you're sleeping on the futon right?" Yulil told her "Sleeping next to you is always a win no matter where" she said as she finished with a wink and a smirk.
"Jesus you have your way with words don't you?" He said as she chuckled before he dived into the futon and covered himself with the blanket "Good night you two, and I'll advise you to stay on your side, ump45" he said "Killjoy" ump45 softly muttered "Sweet dreams!" Ump9 cheerfully said as she layed on the couch Slowly but surely yulil fell asleep while hearing a lot of rummaging noise could be heard from ump45's side he didn't mind it and soon fell asleep.
The next day yulil woke up and yawned as he found ump45 cuddling with him, he smiled and got up towards the bathroom, he washed his face and stretched his arms before he head to the kitchen.
He found ump9 and hk416 talking as they looked like they were preparing breakfast.
"Hehe, don't be so rude~ you know we like you~" ump9 said "Yeah yeah... Oh commander yulil, good morning" 416 said as she noticed yulil entering the kitchen "Guten morgen!" Ump9 said with her cheerful expression "Good morning to you two, slept well?" He said as he sat by the dinner table "Yup! Just like a toddler, and I'm guessing 45 slept even better" she said as she gave yulil a wink "Your house is very comfortable so yes, for once in a while I slept really well" hk416 said "I'm glad, so what are y'all preparing for us?" "Pancakes!" Ump9 said "Oh~ my mouth is already watering, it's been a while since I've ate pancakes hehe" yulil replied "I tried to make them really good as thanks for letting us sleep here, oh and would you mind if you went and woke up those two lazy tdolls?" 416 said "Yeah of course" yulil added as he went towards the bedroom, he found g11 cuddling with the blanket while Laura was on the other side sleeping like a baby.
"Wake up princess, you've got breakfast to eat" he said as he gently shook her G11 grunted as she got on her knees while she rubbed her eyes.
"Can I... Go back to sleep after breakfast?" She said while yawning "I'm afraid not, we got a mission after all" She sighed before she smiled at yulil.
"Thanks for letting me sleep on the bed, it's been a while since I've slept on a comfortable surface" "Ah well, you can come over here whenever you're free, I wouldn't mind a little bit of company" "Heheh, thanks, I'll hold you to that" g11 said as she stretched before she got off the bed and exited the bedroom.
Yulil followed her before he closed the door of the bedroom and went towards the sleeping ump45.
As he slowly shook her she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him towards her chest.
"Jesus you're wild when you're asleep, wake up for god's sake" he said as he continue to shake her, she eventually opened her eyes as she found herself hugging yulil.
She raised an eyebrow and smiled devilishly.
"Weren't you the one who said to not advance on each other's side?"
"I came to wake you up, now it'd be great if you'd let go off me" "Aww, well... Guess it can't be helped~" she said while letting go of yulil, he sighed and gave her a hand.
Ump45 got up before she headed towards the bathroom, yulil then joined the trio inside the kitchen as he sat down in front of g11.
Ump9 happily handed yulil his plate as he thanked her, after that ump45 joined them as she stretched her arms upwards while sitting down beside yulil.
"You're ready? Today will be a long day you know?" ump45 said "Yeah I do, it ain't that bad though, better than staying home and doing nothing" he said as he took a bite.
After that hk416 and ump9 joined them on the dinner table, with a plate of pancakes each.
"What about your friend?" Ump9 said as the rest prepared to leave, yulil grabbed his pistol and put it behind his back "She can take care of herself, I left her a note and some money if she got sick of staying here" "Guess everything is in order then, let's roll out" ump45 concluded as they left the apartment Yulil gestured to his car as he opened it, ump45 got in the passenger seat while the rest got in the back seats.
"Pretty nice car" hk416 said.
"Yeah, the seats are very comfy for a little nap" g11 said as she yawned "You literally just woke up" ump9 added as yulil chuckled.
And so with ump45's directions yulil drove around the city and it wasn't after at least an hour that they finally reached their hideout, it was an old abandoned caf , yulil parked his car and locked it while 404 got inside the cafe followed by yulil, as they got down the basement they opened a secret door and got inside their hideout, as yulil entered he noticed that it was filled with pods, monitors, cables, parts spread out on the floor, but most importantly, two humans were there.
A young kid was there with blue eyes and black hair, ump45 gestured to him and said "This is deele, our technician, and this is yulil"
"Oh~ so you're the so mentioned yulil, ump45 can't stop talking about you these days, nice to meet you commander yulil" deele said as he shook hands with yulil while holding a wrench in the other
A young kid was there with blue eyes and black hair, ump45 gestured to him and said "This is deele, our technician, and this is yulil""Oh~ so you're the so mentioned yulil, ump45 can't stop talking about you these days, nice to meet you commander ... "Nice to meet you too deele, I guess you've got a ton of work on your end if you're their technician" yulil said with a friendly smile while deele chuckled "Oh shut up you two, now this is sheele, she's deele's twin and our assistant"
Ump45 gestured at the woman wearing a blue beret with a tablet in her hands
"Nice to finally meet you yulil" she said as she shook yulil's hand"Nice to meet you too sheele""Yulil's coming with us sheele, can you brief him about the contract? I'll go look for spare equipment for him" ump45 said"Of course" sheele said befor... "Nice to finally meet you yulil" she said as she shook yulil's hand "Nice to meet you too sheele"
"Yulil's coming with us sheele, can you brief him about the contract? I'll go look for spare equipment for him" ump45 said "Of course" sheele said before she cleared her throat "You will will deploy today into a hostile zone to recover a shot down drone for our contractor, the aforementioned zone has low level of radiations, for your safety as a human I suggest that you bring a gasmask with you just for good measure, 404 squads were fitted by modules provided by the contractor to provide assistance in the operation, large SF activity was surveyed within the area of operation, discretion is advised, but I guess you figured that out already"
"Yeah I did, sounds a bit fishy don't you think so sheele? Why did you guys just accept to fit unknown modules just like that?" Yulil replied, aiming his question towards both the twins.
"Well, the contractor is a regular client, so the chances of her screwing us over is very low"
"I see, well it doesn't matter now, there's no going back since you guys accepted the contract" he said while leaning against the wall "Looks like you know how mercenaries work" deele said while tinkering with a pod.
Suddenly ump45 emerged from the door she came through, she was holding a body armor with the words girffin painted in white on the front, they were barely readable as it looked extremely old, a radio with an orange interface, a dark green jacket a M50 military gas mask and also holding two ump45s... Or were they?
"Here you go, I found these in my old stash, god knows where I found them, this is a level IV body armor, will protect you from most rifle cartridges, while this may look like another ump45 its actually a ump40, there's 4 available mags for it, the rest are obviously a radio a gas mask and a jacket, all yours" she said with a smile.
The body armor was really heavy compared to his own, he wore it over his black shirt and wore the dark green jacket on top, he attached both the radio and the gasmask to his belt.
"So did you get the gist of the contract?" Ump45 asked "Yeah got it, the contract seems a bit fishy but oh well, it's your call 45" he replied with a smile, ump45 sighed and gestured with her hands.
"Well let's go then, we've got a drone to pick up."
404 alongside yulil illegally exited the city with their equipment and headed through the woods, the walk kept on going for another 3 hours as they kept walking within the forest, the trees gifted them shadows that helped them with keeping their breaths while the birds chirped and sang, hanging from the branches that were on top of the quintet, slowly making their way towards the A.O The sky slowly started changing from the bright blue to the grim grey, that was the hint that they were getting closer to the area of operation, and was confirmed by ump45's maps.
"So what's the plan boss?" Yulil said as they stood on top of a hill, scanning the hotzone, it was a city, just like the city they first met at.
"Hehe boss huh?, Well, the boss says that we should try and make as less of a profile as we can, we're gonna take this slow and steady, grab the drone and get the hell outta here, verdict?" 45 said to yulil "Simple and easy, I like it" he replied And so the quintet descended the hill as they slowly set foot inside the city undetected.
They all moved in unison with ump45 taking the lead, yulil close behind and ump9 behind watching their six.
Ump45 raised her fist and gestured with her two fingers towards the alleyway, the group immediately got into the alleyway and hugged the wall as ump45 took slight peeks "What do you see?" Yulil asked "Dragoons, and a lot of them... Let's try another path then" she said as she gestured to move deeper into the alleyway.
The group regained its formation as 45 lead them deeper and deeper until they reached an old, abandoned warehouse, ump45 tried to open the backdoor yet it was locked.
"Sheisse" she muttered.
"Hold up, I think I might help" yulil said as he moved towards the door, the rest covered the alleyway with their barrels raised.
Yulil grabbed two Bobby pins and straightened one of them before he crouched down and started picking the door.
Not even after 10 seconds he opened the door and raised his ump40 as he alongside 404 slowly irrupted inside.
After a few clears were said, the group moved towards the main door of the warehouse that should lead them towards their objective.
Ump45 nodded with a smile as yulil crouched and raised the metallic curtains and moved outside followed by 404.
They scanned the streets and entered another alleyway, as they entered the alleyway ump45 grabbed yulil by his collar, he turned with a confused expression and faced her "I'm detecting a really a Low radiation dosage around here, but better safe than sorry, wear your gasmask" "Ah, thanks for the warning" he replied with a smile as he attached the gasmask to his face and continued their way towards their objective.
As they exited the alleyway they jogged into the entrance of a destroyed and raided supermarket, they stormed inside with yulil leading the team as they split in half when they reached the middle of the supermarket, yulil and 45 checked the counters and office while the three others checked the back.
After a short while they met up again in the lobby of the supermarket "So where to now?" yulil asked "Now it's our job to deactivate the multiple alarms with the help of the new modules, for you it'll seem like we're sleeping, give us 15 minutes and we'll be good, if anything happens wake us up okay?" Ump45 said with a serious tone "You've got it, go to the office and do your thing, I'll keep watch by the front doors" he said as ump45 gave him a thumbs up while heading towards the office if the supermarket.
Yulil took off the magazine of the ump40 as he noticed blue scribbles on it, this gun definitely belonged to someone, and ump45 doesn't even know where she got it from so it definitely isn't her's, or at least that's what yulil was internally saying.
He sighed and put back the magazine inside as he aimed through the small crack between the doors, looking outside for possible enemies.
After the first five minutes he started spinning a spare magazine between his fingers as he kept looking outside, the coast seemed clear, too clear for his taste, if you could see the enemy that meant that they aren't hiding, worst case scenario would be if the ringleader posted here would get word of 404's presence and act accordingly.
He suddenly heard a loud thud inside the office he kept looking outside and at the office back and forth until finally ump45 came out from the office stretching her arms, she walked towards yulil and spoke up when she reached him.
"I've done my part now we wait for the other three" He slowly nodded his head "I just got one of those flashbacks I told you about yesterday" she said, he gave her a sidelook before he replied.
"Was it bad?" She only nodded her head.
"Its always the same, me talking with a faded silhouette, and for some reason she keeps reassuring me and telling that everything is alright, but..."
"You got the feeling that it won't be pretty in the end eh?" He asked without averting his eyes from scanning the area outside.
"Yeah, I'm guessing sooner or later I'll know who she was and what happened" she said as she shrugged.
He gave her a smile and replied "Keep your head cleared 45, you're our leader for this mission so you need to only focus on the objective for now, slow and steady wins the race"
"Correct, I'll do my best to not disappoint~"
"I'm glad, so what about those alarms you spoke off?"
"Ah yes, they were easy to defuse, the SF network isn't that solid or let's at least hope they're not intentionally making it easy" With that said the other three members of 404 came back from the office as they joined the duo "I'll never get used to this" hk416 said as she sighed "Yeah me neither, ah but well we did what we wanted!" Ump9 added "Correct, now we make a beeline for the package" ump45 said as she brought out her map "We'll have a better signal on top of this parking lot, let's make that our objective for now alright?" She said The rest nodded as she folded her map and put it away, they slowly exited the supermarket and headed towards the parking lot, making as little of a profile as they could, slowly marching towards their objective.
They could suddenly see a group of vespids by the long stream of abandoned cars, the group took cover behind a truck as they stalked the vespids.
"G11 you and hk416 will cover us from here, start shooting when you see us do the same, the rest will get closer to them" ump45 said as they nodded.
And so g11 and hk416 raised their barrels towards the 4 vespids while the others crouched and slowly got closer to the enemy, yulil moved from car to car as he finally slid down and peeked at the vespids, they were around 15 meters around from him, they looked like they were talking with each other.
Yulil took a look at his left as he noticed ump9 and ump45 taking cover behind a far car to the left, ump45 made eye contact with him as she raised 3 fingers in the air, he nodded as she started counting from 3 with her fingers, as she formed a fist the trio peeked and took care of the vespids, the vespids didn't stand a chance as yulil fired a shot to one of them's head with his ump40 before immediately snapping to another and firing a short burst of 3 bullets to its head, the others also got sprayed down by the rest, with the suppressors muffling the gunshots.
After the neutralisation ump45 gestured to hk416 and g11 to join them as they jogged their way towards the group.
"Good job girls... and yulil of course" she said with a smile "Let's continue now"
And so the group moved and after a short while they finally arrived to the parking lot, they went towards the highest floor and checked the ground level while ump45 grabbed a signal tracker and started adjusting the frequency.
Suddenly however a voice echoed within the city through a broadcasting system.
"My my~ you girls have been busy today huh?" The voice said "You're looking for the drone aren't ya? You should worry more about your own safety, we know that you're here, Griffin" "You think they spotted us?" Hk416 asked "Nein, they're just bluffing" ump45 replied "Ump45 you seem worried don't you?" The voice added, making ump45 twitch "You were saying?" Hk added "by the sound of her voice this seem like destroyer, but she's definitely not the type to think this far, so this means we got two ringleaders on our hand, shit..." Yulil said "Don't worry though, there's only one ringleader that I know that likes to use mind tricks to play with her enemy, so we know what we're up against, we stick to the plan 45" he added "Right, but we need to make appropriate changes, by the sound of it they don't seem focused with us all, they seem to be after me" she said as she changed the magazines of her ump "So you want to split and head your own way to distract them while we get the drone?" Yulil said as he crossed his arms "You're really sharp eh?" She replied "Wait no! This city is full of SF, how the hell will you even survive long enough?" Ump9 said "I'm with her, it's not such a good idea 45" yulil said "Calm down you two, you know I'm not the type to just sacrifice myself, it's all part of the plan I made, trust me on this one alright? Like I trusted you back when you crashed" she said with a smile.
Yulil grunted and took off his gas mask as he gave her a stern look, she didn't flinch even a bit as she kept her usual smile on her face, yulil sighed and gave up "Fine, keep your radio channel open and don't do anything stupid you hear me?" "Of course don't worry, now I'll keep giving you orders through the radio, this'll be over before you can tell ump45, yulil" she said with a wink as she started jogging towards the exit of the parking lot Yulil kept gritting his teeth as his guts screamed and yelled to not leave her alone.
"You want to follow her don't you?" Ump9 said with a Smile, yulil looked at her and smiled back "Go, we can pick up the package just fine, and it'll really help knowing that you're protecting her, I'll leave her in your care alright?" She said "Don't worry I'll keep her safe" he replied as he started running at a slower pace towards ump45
He kept ump45 in his sights as he stalked her, ump45 headed outside the city while giving orders to the rest of 404.
"I'm getting a really big sangvis Ferri signal from the factory in the city, g11 go and keep a lookout near the factory" ump45 said through the radio "I don't want to... But okay" g11 sleepily said as the radio cut off.
Ump45 kept heading to the border of the city as she moved from alleyway to alleyway while being followed and protected by yulil.
Ump45 didnt actually seem wanting to exit the city, she just roamed around the borders, or at least that's what yulil deducted from her.
Then after 20 minutes the voice came back as she spoke throughout the city.
"You've lost the battle ump45, my new body is finally done, it's stronger and more powerful than you've ever imagined! You can't hide anymore, I hope you can run, because that's all you'll be doing!"
"Ump45, the factory's wall just exploded, it seems like destroyer was the suspected sangvis Ferri signal." G11 said "Can you describe her new body?, Give me information about the structure and armament" "Hold up, the smoke is starting to clear... Let me see" g11 concluded as a short silence invaded the radio "PFFFFT" came through the radio as both ump45 and yulil raised an eyebrow "She's... Hahah... She's literally a giant dinergate" g11 "What about her weapons?" "It seems like she has two missile launchers and a minigun, she also looks like she's angry and talking with someone through communication... Damn, she's moving now, she's moving to your direction ump45" g11 concluded "Sheisse, alright g11, regroup with ump9 and the rest and continue your objective, I'll keep her busy" ump45 said as the radio cut off.
Ump45 then started changing her direction while still being followed by yulil He kept following her inside the city as she kept going through alleyway and alleyway, however suddenly she started stumbling, and fell down.
"This doesn't look good" yulil said as he jogged towards her, he grabbed her in her arms and kept moving.
"Ump9 this is yulil, ump45 just fainted for some reason"
"...this isn't good huh?, Thank heavens you were with her, so, what are the orders?"
"Right... Let's change nothing, keep moving towards the package and I'll take care of 45" "Okay, good luck commander" ump9 concluded as the radio cut off.
Yulil sighed and threw 45 on his back as he exited the alleyway.
After moving through 2 blocks a voice came out from his radio.
"Hello? This is dsr50, may I have the pleasure of knowing what you're doing here?"
Yulil raised an eyebrow as he picked up his radio "Griffin tdoll I'm guessing?"
"My, my, what is a man doing in this forsaken land, may I have your name young man?" "I'm afraid i can't do that, though you can rest easy, we both work for Griffin"
"Ah I see, we are catching a really big sangvis Ferri signal moving throughout the city like a wild animal, have you perhaps got any idea on what it's all about?"
"It's a giant dinergate"
"A Giant dinergate?"
"Armed with missiles and miniguns"
"...oh dear, this calls for unexpected cooperation, what do you say young man?" "You've got it right DSR, I already have a plan for that stupid dog, let's meet at 086:217, bring the strongest ropes you have in the outpost and as much explosives as you can carry, also bring some tdolls to help us execute the plan, go it?"
"Fufu, sounds like you're a man of action, I can't wait to meet up with you, DSR-50 out"
Yulil sighed and started heading towards the meeting point with the unconscious ump45 on his back.
Yulil reached the meeting point, it was an intersection in the middle of the city with a bunch of cars all over the place and many light posts around the street Suddenly 4 tdolls came out of a close alleyway, the leading one aimed at yulil with her dsr50.
"It's me, we talked over the radio"
"Ah so you're the one" she replied as she gestured to her teammates to lower their weapons, the 3 others held a PSM pistol, m1a1 carbine and an M1 garand DSR came up to the face of the commander as she kept her smile before shaking his hand.
"It's me, we talked over the radio""Ah so you're the one" she replied as she gestured to her teammates to lower their weapons, the 3 others held a PSM pistol, m1a1 carbine and an M1 garandDSR came up to the face of the commander as she kept her sm... "Let's get along from now on shall we? Oh and would you mind removing your gas mask? I'm sure your face is as... Stimulating, as your voice"
"Sorry DSR, I need to protect my identity" "That's a shame, so what's the plan young man?" Yulil exhaled sharply before he spoke up.
"First let's move the cars next to each other, I'll brief you on what we'll do after" he said as he dropped ump45 by a wall ...
The dinergate destroyer galloped from street to street, she slid and turned the corner as she continued her way, but suddenly her front legs got caught in the rope attached between two lamp posts, destroyer fell on her face as she kept rolling before she stopped on top of a cluster of cars.
"Ughhhh... Guess the cars cushioned the impact" she said before she heard a loud beep coming from a car Then another one Then a third Until every car started beeping before they all exploded in unison, shredding the dinergate destroyer's external and internal structure.
"That's one beautiful explosion" DSR said as she, her team, yulil and ump45 were far away at the end of the street, gazing at the rising smoke from the explosion "This isn't the end yet, her accomplice probably saved her neural cloud into her original body in case she died, keep your guard up you girls okay?"
"You're correct, you'll be leaving us now I presume?" Dsr replied as yulil nodded "Such a shame to not spend the night together, it's even already getting dark" Yulil couldn't wrap his head if she really meant the first part of her sentence "Well we've got places to be sorry"
"I guess it can't be helped, be sure to take care of yourself and your friend alright?"
"You've got it"
And with that done DSR's team and yulil went separate ways.
He grabbed his radio and called for ump9 "Ump9 the giant dinergate is dead, what about the package?"
"Oh commander! Good job!, We still are a bit far away, but don't worry we'll get it!"
"Alright keep your eyes peeled, out"
Suddenly claps could be heard from the broadcasting system of the city "Destroying destroyer, quite ironic don't you think so?... It matters not, you... The one who killed destroyer's new body, I took a glimpse of you... And no, I don't mean ump45, I mean YOU, you're pretty interesting, coming all the way out of here with ump45, I suggest that you get out of here, because the real hunt begins now"
"I knew it was dreamer, this ain't good" yulil softly muttered as he grit his teeth.
Suddenly however ump45 started muttering some numbers "085024...085024...085024...085024"
It made yulil twitch as ump45 kept repeating those words for a couple of minutes.
Yulil then realized what those numbers were, he grabbed the map off ump45 and pinpointed those numbers, it was an old abandoned factory, it was far away from the one destroyer appeared from He sighed and thought maybe she was trying to tell him something, maybe whatever was inside the factory was the key to unlock her memories, but should he? Forgotten Memoires aren't forgotten for nothing, even he has some memories that he wish to forever forget...
He grunted and started heading towards the given coordinates.
As he reached the abandoned factory he grabbed his 93R pistol and got inside, the factory was really big for being in the city.
He kept walking and walking within the dark, grim hallways, it almost looked like he was entering purgatory.
He went down to the basement level of the factory, and judging by the multiple pods inside the room he entered it was a tdoll factory, an old, ancient and antique tdoll factory.
Only one pod looked functional, it was a miracle that it was still powered on.
He gently put ump45 on the pod and connected her to the console.
The monitor displayed ump45's algorithm and network type "What... This is... This is sangvis Ferri technology!... The algorithm is of sangvis Ferri origin too, what the hell?!" Yulil said out loud as he sighed and digged deeper into her neural cloud.
"Fuck, this ain't good" he muttered as he noticed that ump45 fainted because dreamer tried to fry her neural cloud, now her mind is fragmented and needs to be reconstructed.
Yulil inhaled deeply and clapped once "Focus" he softly said as he started defragmenting ump45's mind, it was a risky move but there were no alternatives so far, and so he started rewriting her algorithm, she was infected with the same virus ar15 was infected, but since ump45 was of unexpectedly sangvis Ferri origin yulil could easily neutralise the virus.
After what seemed like an eternity yulil sighed and confirmed the modification, he looked down as he smiled, however he quickly snapped back up when a notification appeared
Replaying locked footage of the subject
The virus must've unlocked her memories yulil thought And so footage started playing on the monitor, it was from ump45's point of view, she looked like she was firing on some targets as she missed most of her shots, she lowered her SMG as she grunted and punched the booth.
"Hey~ what got you so down in the dumps girl" a voice said, ump45 quickly turned to look at her left as she noticed it was a tdoll, she was a bit tanned and wore a green jacket while holding a ump40.
As yulil noticed the scribbles on the magazine of the tdoll he slowly looked at his ump40 ump45 gave him and noticed that they were the same scribbles, he also was given the same jacket the doll was wearing.
He gulped and continued to watch the footage.
"Ah ehm, it's nothing" ump45 shyly said "Oh cmon, you can tell me, I'm your senior after all it's okay be more open with me!" "Well... I just can't seem to hit the targets, I try so hard everyday yet I get no results, I guess that's what I get for not having an advanced control fire module, all of this because of this stupid electronic warfare module..."
"Awww, don't worry, I'm in the same plate as you are, I'll help you get better! You have my word!" She cheerily replied "Why... Why are you so friendly to me?"
"Why shouldn't I be?! We're friends from now, besides we have the same neural cloud type and came from the same factory, we're sisters!" She said as she presented a fist to ump45.
"I see... Thanks, my name is ump45" she said as she bumped her fist "And I'm ump40, nice to meet ya!"
Yulil genuinely didn't know if this was going the good or bad way, he just prayed to whatever god there is that this won't end badly.
"Ah~ so we do this like this" Ump45 said "Yeah you got it, good job, let's end the training now, you're getting way better! See~ practice does make perfect!"
"Haha, yeah I guess you're right ump40, thanks... I mean it" "Oh what are you talking about~, we're sisters, we have each others back right?"
"Of course... We'll always have each others back...always"
The footage then jumped, immediately yulil started hearing bullets, explosions and screams.
"Sheisse! What do we do now?!" Ump45 said as she peeked and fired on 3 tdolls.
"Looks like we were played with, heh, betrayed and left alone, let's fight our way out then! Push on don't let them pin you down!"
The footage went black again, as it jumped another time.
"This is the eighth wave, are we finally done?" Ump45 said as she was breathing heavily "We're done on that part but there's still one more thing to do" ump40 said as she turned to face ump45 "You know that we both are going to die right?" 40 added "W-what are you talking about? We can eventually find our way out of here!"
"Oh please... As soon as we went rogue the program began racing in our neural clouds, it'll soon fry us both, I don't want to die like that ump45, I wanted a death in the middle of the battlefield... But it's okay... Because if one of us dies..." Ump40 did her best to keep her smile as she continued talking "If one of us dies the program will stop running, saving the other... So c'mon"
"N-no there has to be another way we can just d-"
"Listen to me! There's no other way! Shoot me ump45! I tried my best to escape from these eternal shackles yet ...yet in the end it was all for nothing! But you know what?! I'm not even mad, because I can free you... I can give you the life I always wanted so come on! Shoot me for god's sake!...shoot me!" Ump40 yelled as she was on her knees, grabbing ump45's barrel with both hands as she put it on her forehead.
"I can't... You shoot me and save yourself..." Ump45 pleaded with her "I'm a dead tdoll either way, you're the only one who can save yourself from this madness, live your life even if it's full of hatred, find meaning in your life and live by it, make your own principles and execute them, I love you ump45, you were the only one that didn't alienate me, I found so much comfort by just staying with you, the best time of my life was alongside you, i love you oh so very much, so thank you, thank you for everything... Now please, give me my final wish... I beg you..."
Ump40 said as she started crying...
Suddenly her vision went black...bang... A shot echoed through the room as yulil grit his teeth.
Suddenly ump45 snapped up as she looked around the room, she was breathing heavily, she took off the cables with shivering hands before she noticed yulil, he kept a comforting smile as they stared into each others eyes.
"So that's what happened..." ump45 said as she looked to the ground "Wow... I mean... I always knew that I was a piece of shit, but to actually kill my own sister... I must have reached a new level of scum...I even bet that I was the one who locked those memories..." She said with a smile, a smile that hid the screaming and pain in her heart.
"I don't even deserve to live..." She said as she quickly grabbed her knife, yulil lunged at her before she could stab herself as he grabbed the blade of the knife with his hand "Stop! What the hell are you doing?!" He yelled as he pushed ump45 back into the pod while they wrestled over the knife "Get off me! I'm a vile tdoll that deserves to die, I killed my own sister!" She yelled back "You saw what happened! She sacrificed her life to save yours! Why would you go and waste it like that!"
"Get off me... Let me join her please... I missed her so much..." She said before drops of blood fell on her cheek.
Yulil's hand was cut from grabbing the knife from its blade and as ump45 noticed that she slowly let go of the knife.
"Good girl..." He said with a smile as he got up, she didn't know what to say or what to do... She didn't feel anything at this point, only self hatred.
"It's okay... Ump40 must've been an amazing person, to sacrifice herself for you to continue your life... The only thing you can do now is honour her sacrifice" "I just want her back yulil... That's all I want yet... Yet I can't... I'm the one who sent her away" she said as her voice cracked throughout the sentence "It's alright it's alright, let's get out of here first" he said as he put his hand on her back, she slowly nodded and complied.
Ump45 didn't even bother to hide her sadness as she walked behind yulil while looking at the ground, yulil couldn't think of something to do, there was nothing to do, nothing to say...
The duo exited the factory and headed towards the exfiltration point and as they reached the street ump45 suddenly dived into yulil, throwing him away while an explosion caught ump45 in the blast.
Yulil fell on his hands and as he turned around he couldn't even see ump45 from all of the smoke "No!" He yelled as he ran towards her, he slid down beside her and saw that one of her legs was totally destroyed, without mentioning the shrapnel that pierced her body, he grit his teeth and was slowly being filled with wrath Suddenly a maniacal laugh could be heard and as he looked towards its source he noticed it was a sangvis Ferri tdoll that resembled destroyer.
Yulil fell on his hands and as he turned around he couldn't even see ump45 from all of the smoke"No!" He yelled as he ran towards her, he slid down beside her and saw that one of her legs was totally destroyed, without mentioning the shrapnel that...
"Hahahah, what's wrong? Have your companion suddenly feel sleepy?" She said with a proud look Yulil was getting more and more angrier until he couldn't handle it anymore, he quickly grabbed ump45 in his arms and ran towards an alleyway.
"H-hey, I haven't finished talking! Ugh..."
Gaia jumped down from the roof and pursued the duo.
Yulil kept on running as fast as he could as he jumped over a bunch of debris and resumed his sprint.
"Wh...what happened?" Ump45 softly said as she opened her eyes a little bit "You saved me, that's what happened... And now I'm doing the same to you" yulil said between breaths.
"Hehe...ump40 better be proud..." She said as she closed her eyes again
"God damn it he's a fast one..." Gaia said as she could barely keep up.
Gaia could see yulil exiting the alleyway and taking a left, she did the same and as soon as she did that, she got sprayed down by assault rifle fire from a far away position.
"Pathetic" she said as she kept walking through the enemy fire, their bullets were an inconvenience to her at best.
"Fall back g11, it's worthless, switch to plan b" yulil said through the radio.
Gaia fired a grenade that hit the building to yulil's right, as the shockwave hit him he stumbled but continue running away.
"Jeez, I really need to work on my aim" Gaia said as she kept chasing yulil He entered another alleyway before he left a smoke grenade on the ground, Gaia entered the smoke fearlessly before she got hit by a kick, sending her into the wall.
"What the hell was that?!" She said as she fired bullets everywhere.
The smoke slowly dissipated and she was met with no-one...
"Slippery human" she said angrily, then suddenly something fell near her, she looked down and noticed it was a hand grenade, she immediately snapped up as she saw yulil with ump45 on his back climbing a fire escape ladder "You bastard!" She said the grenade exploded near her as he continued climbing.
He reached the roof as he rested a bit.
He then started running forward on the roof and jumped to the smaller and close building, he continued doing so 2 times until he descended with the help of another fire escape ladder He then continued running away until he was sure he lost her, he started walking and breathing deeply while ump45 was given a piggyback ride.
"Thank you..." He heard ump45 said.
"Don't worry about it, you've saved me first after all" he added as she chuckled "Guess you're right...hey... Can you do me a favour?" She asked with a broken voice.
"Anything..."
"Can I cry?" She replied as her voice cracked "Of course..." He said as she went silent while gripping yulil's shirt tightly, with each step he could feel the back of his shirt getting more and more wet...
The duo regrouped with the rest of 404 squad as they all hugged each other, unaware of what was discovered today, they got the package and they exfiltrated out of the hot zone... But was it truly a successful mission?
Yulil asked of ump45 to stay in his house for a couple of days so she can recover from today's events, she happily complied and thanked him.
After that deele fixed ump45 and yulil drove her back home...
"So where are you going to go?" Ump45 asked him "Oh I'm going to get a favour from a friend..." "I see, drive carefully please..."
"I ain't letting this end like this, no way" he muttered as he got inside of his car ...
"So you're telling me that you want Information about her?" General Carter asked "Yes"
"You can ask for money, connections... Even an officer job here in the military but you're asking me for a tdoll?"
"Correct"
"But didn't you tell me that she died?"
"Let's be serious for a second, they were both of sangvis Ferri origin, I'm pretty sure the military would use whatever that tech you guys got to bring her back alive and study her to find flaws in SF's system... You know what I'm talking about"
"Hehe...I see... Let me check..." Carter concluded as he checked the military database "Well... Got good news and bad news for you yulil" "Bad news?"
"We don't have her anymore..."
"She's alive?!" Yulil replied "Affirmative, she's being kept inside the FSB hq"
"Shit..."
"Well thats it, that's your favour gone"
"Yeah... Didn't really plan to her being actually alive" yulil said with a chuckle as he scratched the back of his head "That doesn't mean we can't help each other though" carter said with a smirk.
"Oh?...Go on" yulil replied with a curious look ...
"C'mon tell us what happened between you and yulil" ak12 told angelica as they were heading outside the FSB headquarters.
"For the last time no, I'm not going to say anything, it's familial business" angelica replied as they kept walking within the long Hallway.
The duo passed by an FSB agent wearing a balaclava, FSB bodyarmor and a pistol, ak12 stared at him while he just looked in front of him as they passed each other.
Suddenly however ak12 pushed the FSB agent against the wall and put her right hand on the wall beside his head and smiled devilishly.
"I can recognise those eyes from miles away" ak12 said to the FSB agent that didn't react at all "Stop bothering the staff ak12" angelica said as she was a bit far away from them.
"I'll let you go for now... but I'll hunt you down if you do anything naughty" ak12 whispered to him, finishing it off with a wink before she rejoined angelica
"God dammit..." Yulil said as he sighed and continued his way towards the director's office.
With the clearance level he got from carter it was a breeze to infiltrate the FSB headquarters, and it was the same about the director's office, he quickly inserted the usb stick and copied the data of the FSB inside of it.
As it was done he pulled it and headed towards the R&D section of the FSB base, which was pretty big for being a base inside of a city.
As he reached the room carter mentioned he got inside and locked the door behind him as he noticed a scientist taking notes on his tablet while a pod was in front of him.
Yulil sneaked behind him and knocked him out by pistol whipping him.
The scientist fell on the ground while yulil opened the pod... He was quite surprised with its contents, the pod contained a tdoll... The target tdoll, he entered the tdolls programming and removed the program that was reading her algorithm, he also removed the tracking program which were pretty easy since ump40 was of sangvis origin.
Ump40 woke up as she breathed heavily, she looked around her and noticed only a man wearing balaclava while a scientist was knocked out.
"W-who are you?" She said "I'm here to save you princess, you can trust me, I promise I won't hurt you, here take this jacket and cover yourself first." Yulil said as he took of his jacket and handed it to her while removing the cables.
She definitely looked like she was hesitating, as she didn't get up from the pod.
"Please trust me... Your memories are locked and I'll help you gain them back, you just need to follow me okay?" Ump40 looked around and grunted as she didn't have much of a choice, she grabbed yulil's hand and got up with his help.
"Ash you know what to do" he said "Got it, you've got 10 minutes to get out of here" the Invisible ash said as she cloaked ump40
They then started heading towards the exit of the HQ while yulil tried his best to not look suspicious.
After they exited the hq they ran towards the vehicle yulil pointed towards, it was a black subaru WRX customised solely for the chase they were about to participate in.
The alarm of the FSB hq suddenly went off as ump40 cloak ran out, she got inside of the passenger seat while yulil slid over the cover of the engine and got inside of the driver seat.
He then started changing the music of the car as a lot of FSB agents came out of the front doors.
"What are you doing?! Th- they've seen us!" Ump40 yelled "Yeah hold up... Not this one... No... Ah! This is it!" he said with a smirk as he played an old song that started off with a quick beat while 2 black SUV's blocked the road in front of yulil.
He threw the gears in reverse as he drove backwards, after 3 seconds he let go of the gas pedal and threw the wheel to the right, turning the car 180 degrees without losing the momentum, he then hit the gas as hard as he could as the game of cat and mouse started.
He power-slid to the left as he merged with the traffic while the black SUV's kept following him.
Ump40 grabbed the grip that was on top of her as she looked back.
Yulil began to sing as he skillfully dodged the Incoming traffic.
"Running in the 90! Is a new way I like to be!" He sang "Are you seriously singing right now?! Hahaha!" she said as she finally gave up from asking too many questions Yulil's eye noticed the traffic lights ahead of him going from green to yellow,
"Hey, The lights, hey hey!" Ump40 said as he hit the gas harder while the lights went red, he then powerslide away from the crossing car that crashed with one of the black SUV following him, ump40 looked behind as her jaw dropped.
"Take me higher! Lift me higher, with your speed!" He continued singing and kept driving forward until he drifted to the right and went down the road, a truck was by his right and as yulil passed him he immediately took the alleyway that was getting blocked by the truck, but he was too fast for the truck, and as he drove inside the alleyway the truck blocked the second SUV from following him.
He drove through the big alleyway and exited it as he did a 180 drift and went up the bridge He noticed a police patrol car parked as the cop to the right threw a spike trap to neutralise yulil's vehicle, yulil powerslide to the left making his vehicle face the left as the side of the back tires hit the metal spike, throwing it away while keeping the tires unharmed.
"Oh my god, that was clean!" Ump40 said while yulil kept increasing the speed of the car as they entered the highway.
The patrol cars couldn't keep up with the speed of the modified WRX, yulil looked back and noticed that he was starting to lose them he smirked and muttered.
"Now we can move to the second phase!" He said as he started getting close to the exfiltration point he only needed to lose the patrol cars and doing so opened the road to the exfiltration point, or that was what he thought until a civilian black car bumped into him from behind, the mysterious car then drove to yulil's left as the window slowly went down.
"Oh for god's sake, not you..." He said "I knew you were up to something, now... Give me a run for my money will you?" Ak12 said as yulil grit his teeth and hit the gas while ak12 chased him.
The duo raced between the dozens of cars within the highway and no matter how fast he was or how skillfully he passed by the cars ak12 kept on his tail.
"Plan b, here take this" he said as he brought a ump40 from the backseats and handed it to her.
"I need you to shoot her tires" "Alright, but it's gonna be hard since she's behind us."
"Oh don't worry about that" he said as he smirked.
"Oh gosh..." Yulil released the gas pedal and with the help of the brakes he turned the car 180 degrees as ak12 eyes opened fully when she noticed what he was doing.
"Hit it!" He yelled as ump40 fired on ak12's tires, puncturing both of them as she slowly decreased her speed.
Ak12 put her chin on the wheel as she waved yulil goodbye.
Yulil then spinned back his car forward and continued driving really quickly "Good job girl!" He said as he high fived ump40 who just nervously chuckled They kept being followed by the police helicopter until they got inside of the tunnel, that's when they noticed a large truck, yulil drove behind it as it's ramp slowly lowered as 2 familiar tdolls were inside, yulil slowly drove the car inside the truck while the ramp began to raise after yulil got inside..
Yulil punched the wheel from relief as he yelled and got outside the Subaru "We did it woohoo!" "I only know one person mad enough to piss off the FSB" Felicity said.
"Spot on!" Yulil said as he took off his balaclava.
"Of course it's him" anaiel added.
Her and Felicity both hugged yulil for a couple of seconds before they let go of each other "What did I say about doing outrageous things again?" Felicity said as she pinched his side.
"Ow ow, I get it I'm sorry, but I had to... It's for a good friend of mine" "You three look like you get along well" Ump40 said as she got out of the car wearing only her dark green jacket.
Felicity then slapped the back of yulil's head as he gave him a stern look "What did you do to her?"
"Do you honestly think I'd do anything wrong to her?"
"I'm joking jeez" Felicity said as ump40 laughed.
"Here you go" yulil said as he tossed the usb stick to carter "My part's done, now yours to do" he added "Colour me surprised you actually did it, the mad man... Go to the tdoll development department, I'll speak with the technicians there to unlock her memories"
"Thanks"
"Don't mention it, we helped each other so you don't need to thank me" carter concluded as yulil nodded and escorted ump40 to the aforementioned department.
"Are my memories really locked?" She asked "Yup, don't worry it'll become clearer once we finish"
"I see... Thanks, for everything, I really mean it" she said with a warm smile.
"Don't mention it, I hated that ending anyway" "What ending?"
"It's nothing, just my nonsense grumbling" he said with a chuckle After that the duo entered the room as ump40 was put inside of the pod while the technicians worked to remove the hardest part of the FSB programs.
The process went on for about half an hour, when the technicians finished ump40 slowly woke up, she noticed yulil was beside her, she just kept looking at him with wide eyes and a dropped jaw as tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
She hugged yulil tightly as she kept crying.
"Let's go see ump45 shall we?" He said.
"Y-yeah..."
...
Yulil came inside of his house as he noticed ump45 with a blanket on top of her head as she was watching the television.
"Welcome back" she said as she looked like she was wiping her eyes. "Sorry if I took too much time" he said as he sat to the left.
"Don't worry... By the way did you see that car chase that happened just now?"
"Yeah I did, Wanna know why he was being chased?"
Ump45 turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow.
"He was bringing back ump40" "Wow...that was a tasteless joke yulil, didn't expect that from you..." She said with an angry look "Oh But I wasn't joking." He said with a smile, ump45 cocked her head "What'chu doing there goofball" a voice said behind her... The voice that always soothed her in the harshest of times, the voice that she took as a role model, the voice of her sister and best friend.
"Don't play with me..." She said as yulil kept his smile.
She bit her lower lip and slowly turned to look at the source of the voice.
As she looked at ump40 and her smile her heart dropped.
"...no... Please... You died... I killed you, it can't be you, you must be a clone or something!" Ump45 said, still in denial.
"It's me ump45... Remember what I promised you? That we'd go to maldives?" Ump40 said as she opened her arms.
Ump45's eyes widened as she heard her words before she lunged at ump40 and hugged her while crying.
"I missed you so much..." "I did too... I did too..."

Mica and it's depressing storywritting can go fuck itself, giving me a waifu after she died, man this is bullshit.
Anyway hope you guys liked this chapter, my hand hurts from writing 12 k words, I tried my best to make ump40's comeback somewhat believable for y'all, hope you guys enjoy this one and do your best in the event, in my case I've got a ranking map to finish.
