After the attack on the funeral home that left them both worrying for their lives out of here, Akimi took it upon herself to ensure that her house and bunker were fortified. There was no a price on their head, and she was betting that everyone of Tokyo's scum was willing to go after them. She could only hope that they never find their way here.

Akimi:"Okay, the defenses are up on the Southern Perimeter. I better go check on Lincoln, make sure he's okay."

The boy was in the workout room, hanging from his legs and he did inverted sit ups. He was taking his training very seriously, but now Akimi was fearing that he would work his body over his limits. She didn't want him to be so focus on the concept of revenge, les he'd give himself by simply training. Seeing his guardian come made Lincoln flip back down to his feet as he grabs a towel, sips a drink and walks towards her.

Akimi:"Lincoln...I'd see you've been handling your workout routine fairly well."

Lincoln:"Yeah, I'm getting used to it. You know...one of my sisters tried to help me workout once before, but she was too aggressive."

Akimi:"Well, you seem to be doing good on your own. But don't get too focused on it, you'll get tired easily if you're not careful."

Lincoln:"I know, but it's not like this is the only thing I do. I also do cardio, practice martial arts and those meditation procedures you got me doing have really helped to-"

Akimi:"Lincoln, that's not what I meant. I know I have left you determined to focus on revenge, and for that, you are working yourself to the bone trying to get into peak physical condition, but I don't want you going to far. Besides, I think you've reached your workout quota for this week."

Lincoln:"Are you kidding? I'm not even close."

Unamusingly, Akimi reaches and pulls up his shirt to reveal abs. Lincoln was 12 years old and he was already rocking a 6-pack. But if he continues working hard like this, his body might deflate and he could fall into a coma.

Akimi:"Lincoln, I'm asking you thoroughly to go rest up today. You've earned it."

Lincoln:"Fine."

As the boy left the gym, Akimi sighed. She didn't want the boy to throw away his childhood for something like this.

Akimi:"I only hope nothing crazy happens to him that'll make matters worse than before."

Somewhere in a shadowy area, McCoy's mysterious benefactor stared at the screens that showed footage and scans of Akimi's house. All the while a woman in her 30's, wearing a black kimono was behind the man. This woman was Lady Tanaka of Japan's on Dangerous Clans that were conspiring with the Yakuza, and the one hired to get a hold of Akimi and the boy and destroy them both.

Tanaka:"You've given us quite the challenge. That woman is one of the last in an honorable line of samurai that defended our home, the boy is her protege and you wish for us to hunt them down?"

?:"I'll can give an easy one billion yen for the capture of the two. Hurt them both...and I'll double it."

Tanaka:"2 Billion Yen? How could you even afford that?"

?:"That is not your concern. Would you take my offer if I can guarantee the money?"

Tanaka:"...I might."

Then, she felt a vibration coming from her phone and looked with widened-eyes to see that half a billion yen was put into her account.

?:"You'll get the rest if you succeed."

Tanaka:"...We'll need some way to get passed that fortress Nagamaki calls her house."

And it was then that a screen shows a scanned image of Akimi's house and shows structural weaknesses, easily accessed areas and ways to pass by house's defenses.

?:"Everything you need to know is right here. Seems the good doctor isn't as good at defenses as she thought. Simply send your stealthiest warriors with this information and they'll take care of the rest.

Tanaka:"How did you know of-"

?:"I know everything, Tanaka. Now carry out the mission. And if you fail me...I'll see to it that your corpse is fed upon by my pets."

The Yakuza mistress would be lying if she said that this person didn't scare her. For whoever this person was...she wouldn't exactly call him human.

Just when she thought that the night could not get any more eventful, Akimi was woken up by the sound of people in her room. For once, she was glad that her father told her to sleep with a weapon close by, as she pulled out a knife and stabbed a figure that was looming over her. She could also sense two more foes in the room as she blocked swords before cutting her assailants short. Turning on the lights, Akimi eyes adjusted to her own bedroom covered in red...and three yakuza laying dead on the ground.

Akimi:"How did they get in here? My defenses should've been stopped them."

Checking her wrist device, Akimi looked to see that her automated faces have either been deactivated or breached. Whoever these Yakuza are, they must've gotten information on how to pass the security perimeter. But if these guys were able to get through, that means...

Akimi:"Lincoln!"

She quickly rushed to the boy's room and saw that it had been ransacked. Clearly a struggle broke out here but there was no sight of anyone, not even the boy. She quickly looked to see that they were loading the unconscious Lincoln into one of their cars.

"私たちは少年と少女を殺すことになっていた。"

"予定の変更がありました。田中は少年を生かしたいと思っている。"

The two goons were caught off guard by one of their own being thrown out of a shattering window.

"なんてこったい？！"

And then, the woman they were supposed to kill, came jumping and landing in front of the ground, sword in hand as she as looking pissed.

Akimi:"この瞬間に少年を解放してください!"

"くそ！彼女はまだ生きています！"

"少年をミストレスのもとに戻せ！私たちはこの雌犬の世話をします ！"

The car that carried Lincoln sped out of there quickly as some Yakuza goons were left to try and kill Akimi. But they underestimated a Samurai's daughter as she easily cut through them without a few problems. They were many of them, but she was fast, strong and had a sword that cut through steel. It was over within minutes, as their bodies littered the ground. But only one was kept alive, and that's the one she would get answers from as she grabbed him by his shirt and pointed her blade at his face.

Akimi:"Where are you talking him? Where, damnit!"

Yakuza:"I don't talk, b**ch. I never talk."

This made Akimi stab him in the shoulder, making him yell in pain as she looked him in the eye, seeing how afraid he was getting.

Akimi:"Who's your leader?"

Later, Lincoln was taken to Tanaka's base of operations. The boy was present to the Mistress of the Yakuza, keeping silent as she takes a look at him.

Tanaka:"Don't be afraid, boy. I won't harm you...yet."

Lincoln said nothing, but simply stared at her, expressionless.

Tanaka:"...Not while you're still useful."

But then, her phone rings again, ruining her threatening moment as she impatiently answers it.

Tanaka:"Yes? What is it?"

?:"I told you to kill them both."

Tanaka:"I have the boy in my grasp, and Nagamaki is bound to be history soon enough. If you wish to see him dead, you will answer to my demands. 3...billion, and a place at the table of your operations. I heard...making monsters is all a range these days."

?:"You overstep your bounds, Tanaka."

Tanaka:"Well then, if you prefer not the negotiate-"

?:"This isn't a negotiation. I am ordering you to execute the boy...or you might just get your comeuppance."

Tanaka:"Hmph. Plan to come out of the shadows and hunt me down?"

?:"Fair warning...Nagamaki is not the one to become 'history' tonight."

And with that, they hung up, leaving the Mistress a little confused about what they meant.

Speeding through the roads of Tokyo on a high tech motorcycle, wearing a skintight cyber-battle suit was Akimi, who, underneath a tactical battle visor, was enraged by the turn of events that take place. She was going to murder anyone who got in her way, all just to get him back. He was the closest thing left to family that she has left, and she with him. That was more than enough ambition for her to go out and face and entire criminal organization, just for him.

Two armed guards stood watch by the door, talking to themselves as they looked around in search of anyone who was foolish enough to come in and threaten them. What they weren't prepared for though, was for someone on a motorcycle to come rolling in at high speed. They fired at her frantically, but she sends her bike straight at their faces, sending them crashing through the entrance as she flips right past them. Akimi launches a device straight a security camera, which not only makes it short circuit, but also sends an EMP to the rest of the cameras, making them useless. As she progresses, soldiers come in and try to stop her, some with even a few guns in hand. But as she takes one of them out, the rest begin to drop like flies when she uses a gun she had taken from one of them. Specifically, an MP7A1 which she shots with such precision and accuracy that those would be gangsters didn't get a chance to fire back.

Back in the top of the place, Tanaka was pondering on what she should do. Never before has she been so scared, as a single woman has managed to work through her lower level security and is mostly likely coming for her.

Goon:"愛人！ロビーのすべてのカメラがダウンしており、誰も応答していません。"

Tanaka:"... この階は強化したほうがいい。"

Back to Akimi, she was in an elevator that was bound for the top floor as she loaded up two submachine guns she stole from some guards. When the doors opened, all the Yakuza who were meant to stand guard were immediately gunned down by one angry female samurai. Dropping the guns, she brought out her sword, seeing a charging coming her way, she slashes him quickly. And one that was not dead yet quickly tried to thrust a sword at her, only for Akimi to easily dodge the attack and knock him back before taking the sword he used and stab him with it. Then, she moved on, navigating the halls as worked over any goons that were foolish enough to attack her. Just when more gunners were about to shoot at her, she pressed a button and the lights suddenly went off. They fired, but the bullets only landed at the wall as when the emergency lights came on, she was no where to be found. They moved cautiously, only for their heads to be separated from their bodies as the last thing they saw was a sword passing by their necks.

The place was like a maze, as Akimi found herself in training room filled with weapons and body armor...or so it simply looked like. They were actually some more guards dressed in armor in an attempt to get Akimi from behind. They almost had her, managing to knock the sword of her hand and leaving a cut in her armor, but it wasn't enough as she got one, impaling them on the wall with a naginata and knocking another one into a fan of blades when they seemingly got the upper hand. They were all cowards trying to get her from behind as they tried to shoot her from the paper walls that aligned. Good thing her armor was bulletproof as she cut them all down. And with every single goon taken care of, Akimi found herself chasing after their scared leader. There she was at the end, Tanaka, holding Lincoln in her arms with a blade near his head.

Tanaka:"You've caused me enough trouble, Nagamaki."

Akimi:"Put the boy down, and I'll make your death an honorable one."

Tanaka:"Tempting, but I do not plan on dying here."

And surprise, surprise. Tanaka still had one more challenge for Akimi as a kunoichi came from behind and attempt to kill her. But Akimi managed to block the attack before throwing the ninja into another room. Tanaka could only hope that mercenary of hers could finish her off. It wasn't a fair fight, since Akimi's sword was knocked away, while the ninja a knife in hand. It was in CQC as the two of them tried to get the advantage over the other. Akimi seemed to be prevailing as she tosses the kunoichi into another room, knocking her out. She was about to finish up with Tanaka, only for the mercenary to rise up and throw the knife at her leg, piercing the armor.

Akimi:"Gah!"

When the ninja tried to attack again, Akimi had her hands at her throat as she was pinned against the wall. Only for the assassin to bring out more blades to caught at the samurai's wrist. She seemed to have blades just about everywhere, with her trying to stab Akimi, but then losing the blade in hand, but then her feet reveal some hidden blades that cut at Akimi's visor as the kunoichi rolled to get out of her grasp. She was forced to rip it off as the ninja tried to kick her again, only to grab at her foot and spin her around, grabbing her at a headlock before snapping the kunoichi's neck. Now with that out of the way, Akimi turns her attention back towards Tanaka, who still had Lincoln in her grasp and the knife close when she saw the samurai come her again.

Akimi:"...How much was it worth? Coming after us?"

Tanaka:"...Two billion. That's certainly not enough."

Akimi:"I'd say that's more than enough to rebuild your organization."

Tanaka:"I lost everything, thanks to you. But I'll make sure you suffer as I have."

Akimi:"You can't win here. You've got nothing left."

Tanaka:"And you're not even armed. Seems as if I have all the advantage I need."

Unknown to the Yakuza Mistress, Akimi pressed a button on her wrist and the sword that she discard had a light that began to blink as it suddenly began to move on its own.

Akimi:"I wouldn't be so sure about that...Lincoln?"

Tanaka wasn't sure what she meant until she heard a noise coming her way. The boy suddenly made a move as he elbowed the woman and ripped himself from her grasp. And just as she was dazed her head turned to see where it was coming from, and all she saw was a spinning sword that came flying and landing straight in the middle of her head. Lincoln was caught by Akimi who held him close as he wrapped his around her in a hug.

Akimi:"It's over now...It's over."

Lincoln:"(crying)...I thought they killed you."

Akimi:"You can't put a samurai down so easily...let's go home."

?:"...So, Tanaka is dead. Doesn't matter though, as she would've been no use to us after if she simply did as we told her to. We'll just have to resort to the other ways of getting rid of those two, and newest batch is bound to be prepared..."
