Scene 9: Military Mess (Part 2)
Crawling around the maze-like ducts for almost an hour, Clark, with a flashlight in hand, takes the lead in escorting Ralf and Leona through them.
"Feels like we're in a Metal Gear game," Ralf commented. "I wonder if we'll run into Meryl Silverburgh in here?" he jokes.
"I wish this was like the videogame..." Clark says, stopping his advance right over a grate and observes the persons in the room below them. "Hey, check this out," Clark whispers. "They may not be the ones from Metal Gear, but they're quite the lookers nonetheless."
All three lean over to watch the events unfold below.
Sitting inside what appeared to be a holding cell was a rather foxy looking ebony-skinned woman. She had long braided hair, thin-rimmed glasses, and wore a decorated and rather revealing black dress.
"Damn! She be looking mighty fine!" Ralf said quietly.
The door to the holding cell opens, as two female guards enter inside to escort the inmate out.
"Who are you two?" the female inmate asked.
"I'm Lien Neville, and this is Nagase. The boss of this complex will now see you," said the tall, voluptuous woman.
"Those two women... they look familiar," Leona commented in curiosity.
"Too bad they appear to be with the enemy. Otherwise those two would have been potential love interests for us guys," Clark reminds them.
"No kidding. I just need to pull my fail-proof moves to invite them to our side and they'll be instantly hooked!" Ralf whispers back.
"Men..." Leona responds, rolling her eyes.
Once all three ladies were out of the holding cell, the Ikari Warriors above them all shuffle across the duct to the next grate over so they could see how this would play out in the next room. There, the three watch as the inmate is brought to a tall, lanky, dark-skinned Indonesian man wearing a white suit. The inmate is seated in a chair in front of the man, while the two female guards stood by the exit.
"So, we finally meet, Miss…?" the man asks of her name.
"It's Dolores," the woman responds, looking rather put-off at his appearance. "Who are you and why was I kidnapped and brought here?" she growls at him.
The suited man laughs in response before giving her a slight bow.
"I am Jivatma, head CEO of Mephistopheles. I ordered your kidnapping so you could help aid our operations along with our new business partners: NESTS," the man explains. "We are planning on becoming the new sponsors of a new King of Fighters tournament."
"Well you can forget it! I refuse to be a part of your evil group of baddies, I have my own agenda to worry about!" Dolores protests, standing to her feet and crossing her arms to further her statement of resistance.
"I see, that is too bad. We have ways in making you talk," Jivatma responds with an evil chuckle.
"So, this facility has tied to NESTS, interesting…" Clark comments.
"Hey, wasn't there recent intel that suggested Antonov were planning on sponsoring a new King of Fighters tournament too?" Leona asks.
"Yeah, that's correct. If NESTS are planning on reviving themselves, this will be a problem not only for us, but for everyone else in South Town as per usual each year!" Ralf comments.
"So what now? Shall we take these guys out now?" Leona asks.
"Well, first of all, I want to help this Dolores person escape along with those hot female guards of his, because I know they would be better off elsewhere than here with some irrelevant syndicate like Mephistopheles," Ralf says. "Then we can just send in the Ikari Army to storm the complex later."
As they contemplate their next move, something else was inadvertently moving below them.
The duct they were inside of began to bend downwards from their combined weight…
SNAP….CRASH!
...ultimately causing the whole section of ducts to collapse onto the room below them, tossing all three Ikari Warriors out from it in the process.
"Ow...that was unexpected…" Ralf grunts as he and the other two all lie on top of one another.
Jivatma jumps back from the crash, and immediately calls for action on the intruders.
"Well well well, what do we have here? Guards! Take these spies to the interrogation room. Find out who they are and either make them do hard labor or kill them if they refuse to talk," Jivatma tells Lien Neville and Nagase, who quickly takes the three into custody. While being taken away, Dolores's eyes were fixated on Leona in particular.
"Hmm...I wonder if there are any more spies lurking the facility...I will have to put security on high alert for now…" Jivatma says to himself after they had gone.
