Chapter 23: Left For Dead In Venezuela
(Opening A/N: This chapter is going to be a bit of a backstory of how I became a part of Hotel Foxtrot and how Devin and I share the same body and how we were trapped by Junko along with how I became a leader of the anime resistance group Anarchy Of Anime, so without further ado, here's the next chapter!)
[Venezuela, three years ago]
As soon as the plane landed we departed from the aircraft and the leader pulled out a map, he had Merida circled since there's a stronghold where the hostages were being held, and we needed to infiltrate the stronghold, rescue the hostages, assassinate the dictator, and exfiltrate.
VO: Okay after we got to Venezuela, we had no idea of the hell we were going to go through…
There were at least five parked Jeeps waiting for us, and Devin and I got into the first one as I took the driver's seat and we began to make our way to Merida, but there were reports that there were going to be a lot of soldiers between our location and our destination, since the dictator has put the country on high alert.
Devin was checking his weapon as he was slapping a clip into it and even cocking the gun.
"Got anyone special back home?" I asked out of curiosity, and Devin replied this…
"Yeah, my girl Mirajane Strauss." Devin replied as I was a bit envious of him being with Mirajane. "So I hear you have a little girl?" Devin shot back and I had to be honest with him.
"Yeah I do, and I'm damn proud to be a dad, her name is Akara and she looks just like her mom." I replied, and I handed the photo of me, Akame and Akara to Devin as he got a good look at the photo seeing that Akara looked like a spinning image of her mom.
"That's pretty cool dude, being a dad must really be an awesome job." Devin said, and being a dad was the greatest achievement in my life, and I had no idea of what was going to happen, and about the next one I was going to have as well.
We needed to get to Merida and find the hostages, along with getting paid in the process as well.
The only thing on my mind was trying to give my daughter a successful future and hopefully work up a college fund for her too.
We were in the jungles of the Amazon and getting close to Merida, we needed to get the hostages out of the dictator's clutches.
But it seems that there was an oncoming convoy of Venezuelan soldier transports coming in our direction so we pulled off the side of the road and ducked, if the soldiers caught wind of us, then the mission is going to end up as a bust.
As soon as the coast was clear, we continued our convoy ride to Merida.
When we got to Merida, we were about to get our mission underway, but it seems that there was something about to make the mission take a turn for the worse…
Akara: What was that daddy?
Me: Well, that was the thing, we were making sure that the hostages were going to get out safely, but someone called in an airstrike on us while we were on the mission.
[Merida, Dictator's Stronghold…]
We were making sure that our weapons were in check and we also had silencers on all of our guns since this was supposed to be a stealth operation, we then fell in line as we were getting our orders from the commander.
"Alright listen up men, the hostages and the dictator are our main objectives in this mission, use of lethal force is authorized, and we need to make sure that we get all of these bastards wiped out immediately." The commander ordered us and with that we made sure our knives were sharp, guns loaded, safety's off, and as soon as we were ready to go, we began to stack up and storm the stronghold and headed for the entry to the stronghold, and one of the mercenaries placed a block of C4 along with a timed detonator the timer was set for 10 seconds and we got out of the blast radius as the explosive did it's job and made an improvised entrance big enough of the whole team.
The commander then took point as the rest of the team followed and we then began to go inside the stronghold, as soon as we were inside, the alarm blared and we knew that we were about to go out guns blazing, and we took our silencers off and headed for where the hostages were being held.
There were some armed guards as they were about to shoot us but we were faster on the draw as the soldiers were all gunned down with a series of chest shots and they flopped to the ground like bloody sacks of potatoes.
Devin then tapped my shoulder as he pointed to the entry to the basement, and if his hunch was correct, then that is where the hostages were being held.
So we headed for the basement and we all stacked up as we were about to breach and clear the room.
As soon as the breach charge shattered the door, we stormed the room and took down the soldiers inside, and it seems that we were too late, the hostages were murdered and cut up, and it seems that there was a video cassette recorder and we began to play it, it was the dictator and he was carving up the poor humanitarian workers who were trying to help the innocent people of this country, and they got caught along with the women being raped by the dictator and even skinning them alive.
I then began to cringe as the scene of one girl getting plowed and even had her throat slit as well, these people are just monsters and they need to be killed for their actions.
We heard footsteps behind us and it seems that it was the dictator and I was hell bent on making this person pay for what he did!
So I drew a knife and clung myself against the wall next to the door, as soon as the dictator came into the room, I swiped my knife across his neck causing him to bleed, but it wasn't deep enough to kill him though but I wanted him to suffer for what he did to these people.
So we grabbed him and chained him to a torture device and he was begging us to forgive him for killing those innocent people and he also wanted to repent for raping those poor girls.
But his cries fell on deaf ears as I grabbed a rope and tied it into a noose, as soon as the noose was tied, I took the noose and wrapped it around the neck of the dictator and tightened it.
As soon as the noose was tightened, Devin took the end of the rope and tossed it over a pipe and pulled it tightly causing the noose to choke the dictator and he couldn't be able to break free on the count of his arms and legs were shackled to a table and we all joined in pulling the noose and broke his neck killing him instantly.
Even though we have killed the man responsible for murdering and even raping the humanitarians who were trying to help innocent people who were trying to help more innocent people by doing what they needed to do in able to help the innocent lives within the hell hole known as Venezuela.
As soon the dictator was dealt with we needed to get the pictures of all the victims to show that this was the work of the dictator's hand, and we knew that our time was limited since we needed to get out of there.
As soon as we took the pictures of the humanitarians that were were killed, we were about to pull the plug on the mission, but it seems that it was too late, someone called in an airstrike on our position and that's when things began to take a turn for the worse.
There were a series of explosions coming from outside the compound as there were a series of airstrikes coming down on us, and none of were calling it in.
"Let's move men, we need to get out of the blast zone!" The commander ordered, as we all began to hustle out of the building.
We found that most of the compound was destroyed but we saw that there was an intact transport truck that we could use.
"Everybody load up into the truck let's go!" Our commander ordered as we then climbed into the truck luckily some idiot left the keys in the ignition and we all loaded into the truck with the commander behind the wheel.
He started the truck and we began to drive away from the compound, but we weren't safe yet, like the old proverb goes, "Out of the frying pan and into the fire."
Someone was calling in on our location, and there was an airstrike bomb exploding right behind us, and we were going about a good 60 miles per hour.
But the person calling in the airstrike wised up and decided to call in the strike on the road that we were going down, and they called the next strike down the road where we were going to be getting into town, the bomb then dropped right in front of the truck as it caused me to fly off the back and onto a piece of metal as it was impaled deep into my back, I began to lose consciousness, and everything began to blur into black.
Devin jumped off at the last second as the second bomb hits the truck wiping out the rest of the team.
[Devin's POV…]
As soon as the truck was destroyed and our team were presumed KIA, I quickly rushed over to Roman as he was laying there with blood coming out of his mouth.
"Roman, you gotta stick with me here, you got a daughter to take care of!" I said, but it was no use, he was dying and I had to resort to transferring my soul into him so he and his daughter could be reunited.
I then pulled out a small piece of paper and wrote a message on it, I then placed my hands on top of his torso and began to transfer my soul into him, and with that, the soul transference began to work, and my soul began to go inside of the new body, I'm sorry if I have to do this, but I need to, you have something to live for, and I'll be there to make sure you are there for her.
"Be there for her." Were my last words before my soul was completely transferred into him and my body collapsed onto the ground.
[Normal POV…]
As soon as I woke up, I found myself with a note in my hand and I saw Devin laying there and I tried to wake him up.
"Dev, wake up man! I don't want to lose you like I did the rest of our crew!" I said with tears coming out of my face.
I then opened the note that Devin placed in my right hand, and it read… Be there for Akara.
*Little did I know that Devin was now a part of me, he was the hope that I needed in able to fight this war, and I also promised him that I would be here for my daughter.*
*Akara: I'm really glad you came back for me daddy.*
*Of course Pumpkin, I mean, you're the world to me, and your mom as well, in fact this is the reason why I'm fighting this war, because I want everyone human and anime character to live in peace, including you and your mom.*
After seeing the note, I then began to grab my gun and head back to the town in able to see if I can be able to report on what happened.
But as soon as I got into town, I began to feel light headed, and that's when I collapsed since I felt my strength get sapped and as soon as I came around I was laying on a hospital bed.
Just then, there was a nurse coming into the room and it was no original nurse, in fact, it was Junko Enoshima.
She then injects a sedative as I was out like a light, and thus she took me from the hospital room and onto a plane where I was sent off to an insane asylum where she could be able to make me into her puppet of despair, but alas, she didn't make me into a puppet of despair, she made me a symbol of hope.
"As you can see, I was taken away from you and tried to become something that I wasn't but the thought of you and your mother was the driving force for me and why I started this whole war in the first place, because I want you and your younger sibling to have a home and a life of peace." I told Akara and the others, and it seems that Akara understood the things that I had to do in able to make sure that she along with Akame, and all the others were going to have a place to grow and flourish, and we've shown that humans and anime characters are willing to coexist in this realm and we are willing to fight for the sake of peace between our races and there is no superiority when it comes to what we are fighting for.
Just then, Dogmeat showed up as he sat right next to me and Akara, and she was excited to see the German Shepherd.
"Doggy." Akara said, and he was happy to see my daughter since he wanted to meet her.
"Hey, Dogmeat. You here to see Akara? Akara, here's what I want you to do, hold your hand out to Dogmeat, let him get used to your scent, if he licks your hand, then it's okay to pet him, but if he starts growling, back off, okay?" I asked and Akara gently reached out as Dogmeat began to sniff her hand, he then gently licks it as she then gently pet the dog.
It seems that Dogmeat has really opened up to my little girl, and I knew that she was going to make a wonderful big sister.
[Later That Night…]
Akara appeared in the room that Akame, Mirajane and I were sleeping in, and I saw Akara was standing in the door, and I was thinking that she might be having some bad dreams.
"Hey our daughter's here." Akame said as she gently woke me up and I leaned up to see Akara having a worried look on her face, like she might be having nightmares or something, Mirajane also leaned up as she saw our daughter as well.
"Having bad dreams Akara?" I asked, and Akara shook her head no.
"I'm just worried about Mirajane and the baby." Akara said, and Mirajane leaned up as she patted the bed and even turned down the blankets for Akara to enter.
"That's really sweet of you come here." Mira insisted as Akara then went over to Mirajane as she then placed her hand on Mirajane's stomach and began feeling the new life that Mirajane and I created, she then gently kissed Mira's stomach showing her love for her younger sibling.
'Don't worry, Sissy will be waiting for you and I will be there to protect you from all the dangerous things that this world will bring, since big sisters are born to protect their little brothers and sisters.' Akara whispered and Mirajane knew that she was going to be a wonderful big sister.
Akame smiled as she knew that our beloved daughter was going to be a protective older sister, but she's right a big sister's duty is to protect and love their younger brothers and sisters.
"Here come lay next to me alright?" Mirajane insisted as she then scooched in and Akara climbed in bed next to her and Mirajane then wrapped her arms around her.
"Roman, Akame, I know Akara might be your daughter and all, but if anyone does this girl wrong, then they got me to deal with, and I will not let anyone harm this precious little girl." Mirajane said, and I knew that both Akame and Mirajane were both going to be badass moms, and they are the moms of my wonderful children.
"Thanks for protecting Akara along with making her a big sister Mira."Akame said as she and I laid back down and Mira laid with her arms in a motherly embrace around Akara as both she and Akara then began to fall asleep.
And now the kids of our future will shape the world for the next generation, and I swore that I will be there for Akara from now on, and I will devote my time for being a dad.
