Not even 12 hours had passed since the palace was attacked. Mukuro was sitting in her car just outside a building that believed to house Fuyuhiko's secret Yakuza hideout.
It was about 2 pm, and it had been quite a day for Mukuro. But she was raring to go and raid this place.
The man that was taken to the police station answered all questions given to him by the officers, and this reported back to Kyoko. The empress demanded the place to be raided.
So Mukuro got her orders, and here she was. Mukuro looked on to see police officers, roughly 10 in total. Break the door down to the building and storm in. Mukuro got out of her car and quickly followed suit.
Mukuro began to hear gunfire and quickly joined the fight. She ran down a small hallway until she reached the club room and her eyes widened in disbelief. There were only five officers left, and they were trying to fight two Yakuza goons and Peko who was wearing a black suit, and she was cutting down the officers with her sword.
Mukuro quickly took out the two Yakuza goons, killing them both as Peko move as fast as lightning and took out two more officers.
'This is going to be rough,' Mukuro thought. "Men pull back and retreat!" She ordered. "Go and call for backup. I will take this woman on."
"No!" Said one of the officers. "We must protect this country and our empress."
That was his last words as Peko sliced through the man with ease.
Mukuro aimed at Peko and took a shot. But much to the former's shock Peko sliced the bullet in two. Then she set her sights on Mukuro.
"You two get out of here now!" Mukuro ordered the last two remaining officers as she dodged Peko's sword swing. "Call for back NOW!"
The two officers ran out of the room to call for backup while Mukuro skipped backwards to create distance between herself and Peko.
"Pekoyama, we can do this the easy way or the hard way," Mukuro said, raising her gun to aim at Peko.
"Easy way it is then," Peko said emotionless as she raised her sword.
"Look, I don't want to hurt you, tell me where Kuzuryu is, and I promise you that no harm will come to you."
"I will not give up my Master's location. I will not let you KILL HIM!" Peko rushed at Mukuro with a speed that the latter struggled to keep up with.
"You do not need to be a slave to him," Mukuro replied. "You can be free from his clutches."
Peko stopped and looked at Mukuro, confused. "I'm not his slave, and he does not treat me like one. I am his loyal bodyguard, and he has been my Master since we were little kids. I must protect him even if it means giving up my own life."
"Fuck sake you sound like Reaper!" Mukuro said disgustedly. "Not giving a shit about your own lives."
"But you are the same, are you not?" Peko said. "You swore your life to the ruler of this country? A few weeks ago, Kirigiri was opening a brand new lab and how you rushed to save her taking a knife in the back. When she was under attack, remember that?"
"I was protecting a friend," Mukuro replied. "You are protecting a monster."
Peko's eye narrowed, and she bolted towards Mukuro, and she managed to hit the latter. But thankfully for Mukuro, she managed to dodge in time for the sword grace the left side of her hip.
Mukuro managed to take a shot, and it graced Peko's left cheek on her face.
"You are going to run out of bullets at some point, and then I win!" Peko said as she took a few steps back and went into a defensive pose as blood ran down her left cheek.
'She is right. I need to think of a plan,' Mukuro thought. 'I could always try and use my fists?'
"You know it's a shame," Peko said. "You could have been useful to the Master. Your abilities have earned my respect. Shame that you choose the wrong side."
"The wrong side?!" Mukuro growled. "Your side was trying to kill the ruler of this country, and for what? So all of you can get your sick, selfish desires? No thanks, I value hard work and friendship. All of you are fucking cowards, who don't dare to face Kirigiri face to face."
"If my Master allowed me, I would storm into the imperal palace and kill your ruler there and then, but he won't allow it. Because he knew I would be dead."
"Getting a woman to do a man's job, eh? Kuzuryu doesn't sound much of a man to me. I think he is scared of Kirigiri. I mean you are his bodyguard, he is hiding behind a woman to protect himself."
"Master can look after himself. But I love him, and I will not let anything bad happen to him as long as I can draw breath."
"You love him? But he is an evil monster!"
"I don't care, I have loved him as long as I can remember, I will not fail him…I can't! Now prepare to die!"
Peko ran towards to Mukuro, the latter quickly raised her gun and took a shot. Peko stopped and cut the bullet in half. But she didn't expect a gun to come flying at her and hit her straight on the forehead. Peko took a few seconds to recover, but by then, it was too late.
Mukuro charged forward and tackled Peko to the ground, causing her to drop the sword. The two women began to battle on the ground as they laid punches into each other. But slowly, Mukuro began to get the upper hand as her experience from fist to fist fighting during her time in the army became vital.
Mukuro managed to get on top of Peko and began to hammer on the latter's face at this point Peko's glasses were on the floor broken.
"Give up!" Mukuro demanded. "I will stop hitting you if you do."
"Never!" Peko replied as she continued to struggle.
Mukuro shook her head and laid one final blow on Peko's face knocking the latter out cold. Mukuro began to breathe heavily as he got of Peko and laid on the floor next to the latter.
"Fuck sake you are tough," Mukuro said laughing. "I haven't had a good fight like that since my time in the army. You only knew how to use a sword, and that was your downfall." Mukuro began to shake her head. "Look at me talking to a woman that I've just knocked out."
Mukuro picked herself up and looked around the room and let out a sigh. "So many good officers didn't have to die today. I swear their deaths will not be in vain!" Mukuro faced her face and saw blood on it.
Then she began to search the building and soon came across the manager's office where she found a mobile phone sitting on a disk ringing.
Mukuro picked up the phone, and her eyes widened. Fuyuhiko was phoning. This phone must belong to Peko. Mukuro answered the phone but didn't talk as her eyes were glued to a computer screen that was on.
"Peko are you there? Fucking speak to me, woman. You're making me worried! Have you deleted everything from that computer yet?" Fuyuhiko said in a panic.
"Your personal servant has been knocked out I'm afraid to say," Mukuro said emotionless as she looked at the computer screen to see important information on Fuyuhiko's plans. "Looking to take over Japan are we?"
"Who the fuck is this? I swear to fuck I will end you!"
"I will end your servent," Mukuro replied.
"Peko has a fucking name, and it's not servent! Now tell who you are!"
"My name is not important. Let's just say I work for Kirigiri."
There were silences on Fuyuhiko's end. Then he finally spoke. "Let Peko go, and I will tell you where Togami is."
"Nope, I will speak to Kirigiri first. You try anything dirty, and Pekoyama's life will end. Do I make myself clear?" Mukuro said. She had no desire to hurt Peko, so Mukuro hoped that Fuyuhiko would come along.
"Crystal."
"Very good, we will be in touch. Goodbye." Mukuro said as she ended the call and began to unearth more of Fuyuhiko's future plans on the computer.
