PART THREE: THE MISSION
"We are most grateful for your offer of assistance. With this re- appearance of Andross our army alone can't do the job. We need all the help we can get." Said General Pepper.
Gai began, "Great! So where will you first want -
"What is your offer? I'm not here to waste my time," growled J.
"Please," Mikoto whispered, "That's rude."
General Pepper answered, "We will pay according to the extent of your work. You may charge a small sum for every enemy unit destroyed."
"There's just one thing I want," replied J, "And that's the means to get out of this system."
"Well, that could be arranged. However, if you require means for interstellar travel, which I must inform you are extremely expensive, I am afraid you must do slightly more than defend against enemy troops. I would be prepared to offer you such technology only if you obliterate Andross, and return with the evidence."
J remained silent for a moment, and eventually nodded slowly.
"If you would just sign this contract," continued Pepper, "and give me your names."
Renais prodded J on the back and muttered, "Don't give your real name. We don't know what'll happen if we are found involved in this."
J replied to her equally quietly, "I understand." He then turned to Pepper and said, "I am... Söldner...... Yeah. Jay Söldner." He glanced at the others.
"Oh!" said Mikoto. "My name's Mikoto-
Renais prodded her on the back.
"Amaterasu no Mikoto."
Renais and Jay groaned simultaneously.
Gai spoke next. "I'm Guy Incognito."
They groaned even louder. Renais thought for a moment, and looked at Guy. "Do I have to use your surname?"
"Yes, you do." Replied Guy, grinning.
"Fine." Said Renais, disgruntled. "I'm Ryuune Incognito."
"And who, may I ask, is the one in charge of your organisation?" enquired Pepper.
Jay opened his bill to speak, but was punched violently in the side by Guy, who handed him a note. It read:
The interstellar department of censorship, plot restriction and heroic allocation have examined your group and have concluded that Soldat J- 002 aka Jay Söldner is lacking in patience, tolerance and capability of non- violent lateral thinking, and therefore possesses an unsuitable mentality for leadership of a band of heroic mercenaries.
"D'OH!" thought Jay. He continued reading:
This message will automatically self-destruct upon assimilation of information conveyed therein. Have a nice day.
Jay suddenly yelled, screwed up the paper and threw it backwards. Instinctively Guy dived after it and grabbed it, but suddenly realising what he was doing, tossed it behind him. Three guards then leapt at it, all missing. It bounced off the head of one guard and landed in the paws of Ryuune, who immediately hurled it out the window with an almighty force.
"Men..."she sighed, "can't do anything right."
Just then, there was a loud explosion coming from outside. The four smiled at each other with relief, and Jay gave a look of deepest gratitude to Ryuune. One moment later, a guard dog dashed into the room.
"Sir," he began breathlessly, "Four of our best fighters have just been destroyed."
"In the middle of a peaceful air show?" uttered General Pepper, "How could the enemy troops come so suddenly? Where did this happen?"
"Sir," the dog continued, "it didn't look like an enemy attack, sir. It happened right beside this window. They were hit by some small object coming from here."
General Pepper glowered at the four, and Ryuune gave her best, though still very poor, attempt at an innocent smile.
"I guess then." Guy said sheepishly, "We'll reduce the charges."
Okay, this one's a little short, but it's just to get the real metamorphosis going. Please feel free to review!
