SCHARFSCHÜTZE (SNIPER)
ML: Here's chapter three, guys!
Yoji: ABOUT TIME! Where were ya?
ML: Busy with things. Last time, the guys didn't kill me outright, and interrogated me. Well, I guess I have the luck of the Irish or something.
Aya: Sure. Anyway, M doesn't own Weiß Kreuz, or the brand names he will be using.
ML: Yeah, so, GET IT ON!
Chapter three: Handhabung (Manipulation)
As soon as I got to the apartment that night, I was thinking, 'Why did I have to take this line of work?' However, little did I know that my night was just about to get a whole lot more interesting as I first thought. Some guy came up to me, and said, "You have any time for a pizza?"
I said, "I'm sorry, but Big Cheese is closed at this time. How about tomorrow?"
He replied, "I know of an all-night pizzeria we can go to." He drove me there, and started to cut to the chase.
"So, I hear you work for Kritker, is that correct?" He asked.
"I work for whoever pays me more." I answered, neutrally.
"So I see. Anyway, I have a job offer for you." He continued.
"I'm listening." I said.
"There's this group, Estet, I think you've heard of them before." He began.
"How could I forget?" I said. After all, I knew Estet were the bad guys, and I would never sink that low, but I pretended to be interested.
"Well, I'll offer you a tidy sum for you to switch sides. Say about.. 50,000 yen." He said.
"Forget it, pal. I work for Kritker." I left him after that.
He just shook it off, and as he flagged down a waitress, said, "Check please."
(Kitty in the house – The very next morning)
"Here you go." Omi said, as he gave a bouquet to a customer.
Ken was busy working the register, and Yoji was sleeping the day off. Aya tried to wake him up. As he did, I walked into the building. Ken saw me, and said, "ML! What are you doing here?"
"Day off." I said. "Anyway, I need to talk to Aya."
Aya said, "I'm right here."
I took him into the room, and explained, "Listen. Some guy came up, told me he'll pay about 50,000 yen to work for Estet."
Well, he looked surprised. "Estet? We've finished those guys off!"
"Well, I think he's a follower of the new breed. Manx told me that Kritker's following their movements as we speak." I said.
"Go to Manx. She'll give you something." Aya said. Yoji came in, and said, "M! What are you doing here? Don't ya have pizzas to deliver?"
"My day off." I said. The day went by pretty fast. As dusk came, Manx came up, and said, "Mission."
"Members of Weiß, we have had a lead in the new Estet case. Turns out that they are interested in selling stolen electronics and weapons on the black market. Kouichi Nakamura and Arturs Salamourov are two of the most powerful men in the new Estet. They must pay for the stolen goods with their lives. Find them and kill them. White hunters of the dark, hunt down the future of these black beasts!" The screen went black after that.
"Is everybody in?" Manx asked. All four nodded. "Good. Bengal, come with me." Manx said.
I asked, "What's going on?"
"We've heard about the new Estet wanting to hire you. So, here's what we're going to do. Pretend you've switched sides, and when the time's right, use your practice ammunition on Weiß. Then, when they don't know what's happening, kill Nakamura and Salamourov." Manx explained.
"Got it." I went to a car, found my gear, and changed in an alley. Then I saw the Yamaha motorcycle, and rode it to the warehouse.
(That night.)
"Ok, I'm in position, Bombay." Yoji said.
"Got it, Balinese. What about you, Abyssinian? Siberian?" Omi asked.
"Roger that, Bombay. We're in." Aya and Ken each said.
"Bombay, start the mission." Omi said, and saw a few guards. Yoji went up, and silently choked the two guards. Then Aya sliced a few more in two. Then Ken came up, and found the two, only to get a bullet. He looked up, and saw a shadow. My shadow.
"Bombay! Bengal just came and shot me!" Ken said.
"Abyssinian! Find Bengal and make him pay!" Omi commanded.
"Finding him." Aya replied. He found me, and said, "Well, we gave you a chance to live. But now, you've abused it. Time to die."
I got into a grasshopper stance, and waited. He tried to strike, but I was just quicker. After a few minutes, I saw the two about to leave, and then took a few jumps at them. Then threw two knives. The knives made their targets, and Aya was left confused. Yoji and Omi saw Ken, and heard him groan.
Omi asked, "Ken? Are you alright?"
"Never better, Omi." Ken replied. He saw the red paint on his jacket.
"What's with the paint?" Yoji asked.
Ken opened his mouth to answer, but I beat him to it. "It's a paint bullet."
"WHAT? Who said fire at me with training ammo?" Ken asked.
A guard came up, and I saw it. Then I came up on him, and said, "So, you're Estet. Now, who's behind the new Estet?"
"The new Estet is a new name for an old organization." He said.
"WHO?" Aya asked.
"Look behind you." The guard answered.
They did, and were shocked beyond belief. Behind them, there were four guys that they NEVER wanted to see again.
Schwarz.
END CHAPTER
I wonder who those guys are… Anyway, R&R!
