Weeks pass, and both Kuro and Whisper are looking for possible recruits to their squad. Amongst the population, there are a few who are actively fighting the Eggman army of this region after what Egg Boss Infinite did to the resistance. The most active ones are Woodland Kingsmen, but they have since gone to ground and have yet to show themselves. Some whisper they have been taken out or fled Eurish itself.
"You want to do it, or shall I?" Kuro asks while offering Whisper the detonator he had on hand.
Whisper snatches the piece before pressing the button. "That should bring a lot of attention," she notes, keeping an eye on him as he watches the area blow up and burn.
"And with this, the spark of hope and resistance is rekindled in Eurish," Kuro adds as the depot walls crumble while a Death Egg robot falls on it, destroyed. "Let's go before the response arrives. We also have more to do, and we have to hide what we stole in caches."
Whisper watches as he blinks to the ground before grabbing the bag at the base of the tree. He chuckles cunningly while slinging the bag over his shoulder and runs off. Whisper almost jumps off to follow before stopping to look back at the destroyed depot and shakes her head. Kuro smiles even more as Whisper lands near him, running alongside him.
Egg Boss Hood holds his face in shame. In just two nights, four automated factories were leveled, twelve depots destroyed, and part of the communication system has been knocked out. Eggman will be very displeased. He is already in a bit of hot water from the idiot who was formerly from his territory sabotaging the Northamer egg army, leading to some rebellion when it was the most stable area they had control over.
The terminal on his desk buzzes before a voice comes through, "Sir. We got reports of an ammo depot destroyed to the north."
'And there is the thirteenth one and just when we got rid of the upstart too,' Hood thinks.
"Lord Hood, we confirmed the ship that went to Northamer is returning," a nervous man gives his report.
Hood stops dead cold and slowly looks to the terminal. "Wha-When is it due to arrive?" he asks shakily but tries to hide it in his voice.
"Not long," comes Infinite's voice over the coms.
Hood hisses in a panic as he hears tapping coming from the terminal. "Egg Boss Infinite…to what do I owe this glorious…"
"Do you ever shut your jaw and bite yourself?" Infinite immediately retorts. "You know why I am here. It seems your former underling has inspired Eggman's most wanted to use new tactics, and I am here to find him and capture him."
"That sounds very helpful," Hood starts, trying to smile. "I appreciate the effort and…"
"What makes your limp tail think I am doing it for you?" Infinite interrupts.
Hood says nothing as he knows sassing her back would just end in more trouble for himself.
"Make sure my usual gear and equipment are there when I arrive," Infinite orders, not sounding happy even to be talking with him.
"Are you sure about this?" Whisper asks over the comms to Kuro, who has disguised himself as one of the Eurish's egg army and infiltrated a hub of air traffic for the region's egg army.
"Please. Nothing will go wrong. Don't worry. And I can be out of here in a blink of an eye, kiss you, and right back in to grab my toothbrush," Kuro jokes as he dresses in the corner of the locker room.
"Was the cover necessary, though? Even I facepalmed for Tailsko when you asked her to add it to the eggnet database," Whisper says.
Kuro snickers. "Trust me. No one looks until needed. And they would die laughing before they have a chance to grab me."
"Just be careful. You have a certain kind of luck," Whisper warns as he turns off the communication so as not to be overheard. He then enters an elevator to go down further into the base. Kuro stands in there, listening to the elevator music and frowns as it was so annoying. The elevator then stops, and he starts to pale under the helmet as he sees the one who is the newest egg boss, Infinite. 'She may have a point about my dumb luck.'
Infinite gives him a small glance as she floats inside before turning back forward. Kuro tries not to stare at her or even the reflection on the elevator doors. After a bit, he twitches a bit before taking the pistol he had stolen from a depot for this disguise and starts shooting the speaker. "I hate the boss's musical choices," he mumbles.
"You'd just save this base of having to buy a new elevator," Infinite remarks as the glow on her hand dies down.
"I am sorry I denied you the pleasure of doing that egg boss," Kuro states as he changes the magazine.
"Don't bother," Infinite warns as she keeps staring forward, but Kuro feels like she is staring right at him.
Though, Kuro doubts he can't help but take peeks at what he can see. The most eye-catching is the helmet she wears. A big silver helmet adorns her head, which has large ear pieces, and a large red eye. But strangely, the other is blacked out. Besides the black and silver-colored metal boots and black leather gloves, the one thing that catches his attention is the red crystal piece on her chest. Kuro can not even deny how shapely she is by just floating there.
"You are new to this posting, aren't you?" Infinite questions while searching for him in the database to see if she can transfer him to her command but couldn't find him in it, making her suspicious.
"Ah…yeah. Was transferred in recently and was demoted for anger issues and making fun of my former captain," Kuro lies, thankful for his helmet concealing his eyes as Infinite is unnerving him.
"Captain's name," Infinite orders.
"Ah…you are going to think I am either lying or making fun of you if I tell you," Kuro acts.
"Say it, or I drop you down the elevator shaft," Infinite orders.
"Captain Biggus Dickus of Italy branch," Kuro says, making her drop to the floor.
Infinite looks like she is about to trip over her own feet while she stares at him lopsided. "Bwha…?"
"See," Kuro says, trying to look ashamed as he looks away, but is laughing on the inside as Infinite searches for this captain Biggus Dickus.
Infinite seems to be looking panicked while sifting through the listings before coming across one. 'Son of a bitch. There is a commander named that. Wait. No. We would have laughed all the time once we heard of the commander. There is no way…'
"My stop," Kuro calls as the elevator stops, and he exits it into an area with high foot traffic. Infinite even loses him in the crowd if it wasn't for her target marker.
Kuro walks casually before stopping, having nearly been run over by an idiot driving a lift. "Learn to fucking drive idiot!"
Infinite watches this, starting to see between that and the shooting of the speaker, the anger issues as the door closed. Then comes the frustrating yell in her head, 'Why is there someone named Biggus Dickus in the Eggman army?!'
"Ok, I am back. Now we should run," Kuro says, reappearing beside Whisper.
Whisper jumps on the branch at the sudden appearance. "What happened to…?"
"You're right about my dumb luck. Egg Boss Infinite is in there right now, and the timer is counting down," Kuro says, starting to jump away.
Whisper sweat drops and hangs her head. "They are not going to like this," she mutters before following him.
"Plus, side note she now knows about captain Biggus Dickus," Kuro says, smirking.
Whisper gains another sweatdrop. 'Unfucking believable.'
"I told you it would be a good distraction, and it confirms her mask is connected to the network. We might be able to hack into it," Kuro says.
Whisper is about to say something to him before they start hearing explosions behind them.
Infinite is very unhappy. She had just arrived, and the terminal she is at is bombed. Thoughts rage within her. Part of it wondering if Hood is behind it or had allowed it to happen to try and take her out. Maybe even intimate her as she knew he despises her, and one of his former subordinates recently did similar things, so it isn't out of the question either.
What bothers her even more, at the forefront of her mind, is that one commander. For one, word of a commander with that name would have spread much faster than expected. Two is the fact she could barely find further history on the soldier she met. And three, where's the damn log keeper on this?
A soldier nearby her snickers as someone else mentions something about a dick-measuring contest, but the first soldier who snickers mumbles 'Biggus Dickus' before snickering louder.
Infinite raises an eyebrow before floating over and tapping the guy's soldier. He keeps a smile on his face and is about to laugh harder before stopping in fear at seeing the Egg Boss in front of him. "Biggus…" she stops as he lets a quick snicker out of the side of his mouth and winces to shut himself up. "Dickus. You know him?" she questions, and he lets out a burst of loud laughter before covering his mouth and looking afraid of his life.
"Y…yes, I have. He is one of the most incompetent commanders in Italy, I think. I also think the only reason he is still around is to be made fun of," the soldier says, trying to inform her.
Infinite looks through the information and takes note of the battles he has taken part in. But then stops at one. "Around my tail," she mutters and floats away. Thus leaves the soldier confused as she seems very ticked off about something else but glad it wasn't him. "That battle shouldn't be on there," she huffs and floats on top of a roof to overlook the damage of the area. "Because I oversaw everything, including the commanders."
Storm is reading reports. She has been secretly tasked with Abyss and Clove to investigate Hood. This internal investigation she feels is very much beneath her. She should be searching for Kuro, not doing this. Suddenly Abyss started snickering before going into full-blown laughter.
Storm sighs and looks up to the ceiling. "Abyss…you better be working."
"Ok…who is the genius?" Abyss laughs out, pointing at the screen as Clove looks over now.
"You must be joking," Clove mutters dryly while Storm leans her head back and frowns.
"Fuck me. How the heck did he get into the system in the first place?"
"This is so our wolf's work, and it's clear now. He is doing work in Eurish…can we let him be and damn the snake?" Abyss asks, a bit hopeful.
They all look at each other before Cassia munches on some chips behind them. "Wouldn't Eggman be pissed we didn't do anything?" she asks with her mouth full.
"Um…it is tempting as I have no love for the wolf, but…I will go after him," Storm says, starting to walk away.
"Husband starting trouble, so you got to go get him?" Abyss quips.
Storm flips her off over her shoulder.
Clove shakes her head and looks at Abyss. "You're the one who added that to his file, huh?"
Abyss rolls her eyes. "At least I got first pickings."
"So how much did you fuck with her?" Cassia asks, smirking.
Clove glares at her sister while Abyss laughs and relaxes in her seat. "Just a bit. When she looks, she will thank me when the wedding happens."
"You know that isn't how her clan works. She can never marry. Have a partner for then, but not marry as she is 'married' to her clan," Clove points out.
Abyss waves her off. "She will make an exception for that horny wolf."
"Real talk. She has it bad like my sister does for him, doesn't she?" Cassia asks.
"Oh, fuck yeah!" Abyss laughs.
"Cassia," Clove growls.
"I have this as proof," Cassia says, pulling out a tablet and shows a video of Clove's room and her using Kuro's tail as a pillow.
Clove growls and blushes while Abyss laughs and points at the pronghorn. "You like his fluffy tail, huh? Should I worry you will steal him away for a honeymoon?" she teases.
"Cassia, do you need to be grounded from your games?" Clove questions threateningly.
Cassia giggles and continues eating while Abyss keeps laughing. "Seriously. I fucked the guy, and he's the most gentle lover. I bet if you ask, he will let you enjoy his tail," Abyss says, smirking.
"Oh, go on," Cassia says as Clove gives Abyss a mom-like death glare.
Clove grabs one of Abyss's tentacles and Cassia's ear before yanking hard. A loud yell of pain comes from both of them before she levels a glare at them both. "Enough. The both of you. Honestly, it's like dealing with a drunk sister."
"Me or her?" Cassia asks, sassing before high-fiving Abyss's tentacle.
Clove growls and pulls harder. "Stop…pushing it."
