The two girls were lying on the bed within the sun soaked hotel room. Nui was the one to awaken first, rubbing her eye as she sat up and looked down to her side to see Mako softly breathing as she snuggled beneath the warm Duvet. Nui smiled softly before stepping off the bed and raising her hand to her mouth as she yawned cutely. She walked over to the kitchen grabbing a glass out of one of the upper cabinets and a carton of orange juice from another before pouring the juice into the glass. She was about to start drinking when suddenly, someone kicks her door open. The glass flew out of Nui's hand as she was startled by the sudden entry, she struggles to catch it mid air although she seems to miss causing it to spill the juice all over the small kitchen floor.

"Yo" a gruff man's voice emanated from the door to the room.

Nui turned around to face that direction however she slipped on the orange juice sending her cascading down onto the floor after which she gained her bearings from the fall before replying with "Er hello?" dazed and confused.

The one standing in front of the door was Tsumugu who looked at her in disgusted irritation, "Fuck's sake clone, why haven't you switch to true Nui?"

Clone Nui acknowledged this remark before turning to her side to see true Nui floating there, "what the hell Nui! you're suppose to switch when someone breaks in!"

True Nui looked back at her in return amused, "Like hell I was gonna swap in during that, it was way too funny!" She finished her sentence with a chuckle much to clone Nui's frustration.

Tsumugu responded coldly as ever, "Never mind, Just get dressed, now."

Clone Nui looking at him rather confused as she picked herself up off the floor, "Huh? Where we heading?"

Tsumugu pulled out a cigarette as he answered, "Nudist beach HQ."

Nui checked her pyjama's for orange juice stains, "Please don't smoke in here... Also can I get some privacy?"

Tsumugu tutted as he pulled the cigarette out of his mouth, "Nah you can't."

Nui blushed as she looked at him in surprise, "wait what?!"

Tsumugu checked his watch impatiently, "Can't leave you alone, could try to escape like how you did before, jumping out the window."

Nui nervously twiddled her fingers, "I guess that makes sense, but-"

However she felt Tsumugu's gaze sharpened, "There's no but here Nui 'cept your ass out the door." Tsumugu went to lean up against the nearby wall, "I'm not satisfied with someone not having an eye on you, even if you're on the god damn toilet, not until we got you in a reinforced experimentation chamber, hell, I'm not sure I would even be satisfied then."

Nui had slunk back in fear as she nervously looked back in return, "oh... ok..."

Tsumugu scoffed in reply, "tsh, I wish I still had my finger on the trigger, I should of pulled it back then..."

Nui tentatively spoke up as she changed out of her Pyjamas into a white T shirt and a pair of baggy low hanging trousers, "I-I see... What about Mako?"

Tsumugu quickly responding with, "It's fine, she ain't got school today since y'know, weekend, and her parents probably know she's staying out."

Nui continued nervously getting dressed while Tsumugu looked out the window. "Oh right... Well could I ask what's on the agenda today?"

Tsumugu answered with frustrated sigh, "its... The other Nui's first mission today."

True Nui jumped up in blood form excitably at the mention of this supposed mission by Tsumugu as clone Nui shook uncontrollably.

"Really!?" True Nui appeared joyful to finally get to see some proper action.

Tsumugu sighed once again in his exasperation, "yeah, but if it was up to me you wouldn't be seeing the light of day let alone going on missions..."

True Nui was quick to respond looking at him with a smug look of understanding, "yeah you made that clear already, although I can somewhat understand where you're coming from."

True Nui moved back to place her blood formed elbow on clone Nui's head, casually resting as clone Nui continued to shake from the shock of a lot of her blood suddenly leaving her body.

True Nui then began question again proudly, her satisfaction coming through with every word, "So, shall we skip the rest of the getting ready part and just let me take the Nui spot for a while?"

Tsumugu sharpened his gaze in response, "No, you're the one with the powers supposedly, that makes you more difficult to control, so unless you want your head taken off and made into a trophy, you stay in that room of yours."

True Nui in return grumbled with disappointment, "ugh fine..." She then returned back into clone Nui's body.

Clone Nui recovered from the sensation almost dazed and tired out, "I hate it when she does that... Its like advanced pins and needles all over my body..."

Tsumugu ignored her complaints as he got down to business, "Get your ass ready, we haven't got time to waste."

Nui nodded quietly, her face reflecting the intimidation she felt oozing from Tsumugu. She finished prepping her clothes although all the long she wished she could take a shower, however Tsumugu's impatience prevented her from doing so, as She was forced out to the door, taking one last look at Mako who continued to sleep comfortably in the hotel bed. Tsumugu sat on his motorcycle seat turning the key to the bike, causing the bike to erupt into life as he waited for Nui expectantly. Nui stood there confused at what to do.

Tsumugu turned his head towards Nui glaring at her, "get on."

Nui looked surprised and flustered at the notion, "o-oh... ok..."

Nui sat on the back end of the bike behind Tsumugu, wrapping her arms around his chest fearfully. Tsumugu pushed his foot down on the peddle causing the bike to begin propelling onward as he turned the handle to the bike making them veer out of the parking space and make their way down the road towards the Nudist beach HQ.

They arrived at the base which appeared to take the form of a large skyscraper, however this was only the public area with the actual operations base residing underneath. They reached this by making their way through the large reception, plenty of agents and various other individuals made their ways across the sunlit hall, each agent gesturing a greeting to Tsumugu as he walked past. He made his way into an elevator filled with a few other agents who stood there impatiently, Nui followed along standing among them awkwardly. Tsumugu selected the operations option on the elevator control panel.

After he did this a robotic voice chimed through the elevator "Unauthorised individual detected."

Tsumugu replied to the voice professionally, "Authorisation bypass code one one two five seven."

The robotic voice responded in affirmation, "Bypass code accepted, voice identification complete, welcome Agent Tsumugu."

The elevator started rumbling as they began to descend down into the operations base, the inside of the elevator incredibly awkward as Nui found herself as the odd one out with all eyes on her, with the subtle cough every now and then permeating the awkwardness. The elevator opened up to reveal a large beach like space with an artificial sky, similar in design of their original base although it appears to be a lot larger with next to the beach being a large building made up of many metal panels windows and block shaped out reaches. Many agents made their across the beach and in and out of the building, many of which giving suspecting looks at Nui who nervously glanced back in their directions. On the beach they had testing grounds for DTRs many of which having opened panels being worked on by Nudist beach agent engineers. Tsumugu and Nui made their way inside building, passing through corridors and up stair ways before reaching a large metal double door. Tsumugu placed his hand against a screen on the wall next to the double door, the panel scanning his hand before the same robotic voice chimed from the screen saying, "entry granted." The double doors slid open revealing a dimly lit room. The room was subtly lit up by a a large screen at the back with a dark blue light that left the room in a dark blue-ish hue, In the middle of the room was a long minimalist table held up by a long block pillars stretching from end to end, the table top appeared glassy, reflecting the blue hue. All along the table sat disgruntled Nudist beach agents of both men and women shifting impatiently in their seats.

Mikisugi stood at the end of the table at the other side of the room from the entrance standing in front of the large screen, "Ah nice of you to join us, was wondering when you were gonna show."

Tsumugu was dismissive about the sentiment, "tch, don't blame me, blame the shitty traffic."

Mikisugi turned his head to to Nui, causing her to jump as he acknowledged her, "Hey clone Nui, could you let true Nui take over? Its best she hears this through her own ears."

Clone Nui nodded before being surrounded by red threads, signifying her switch over to true Nui. She was excited to be there much to the displeasure of the agents, "Helloooo everyone! Agent Nui here ready to get down to business!"

Mikisugi followed Nui's notion as he did exactly that and got down to business as Tsumugu and Nui found themselves a seat each, many of the agents keeping a fair distance away from Nui.

Mikisugi announced to the room, "Alright, now that we're all here we can get this meeting started."

The screen changed to reveal a bunch of images on the screen. The images showed things on the line of various gritty looking men, different crime scenes of broken into stores, dead bodies in various positions and scenes of heists where expensive objects were held.

"Our target today is the high Akuma in Kyoto, famed for drug and weapon smuggling, bank heists and assassinations, part of the Yakuza, they used to be a small time gig till the new chairman took over and started supporting them, now they're one of the nastiest organised crime syndicates in Japan."

Nui raised her hand like a student desperate to be heard, "ooo ooo me! me!" Mikisugi gestured in her direction awkwardly for her to speak which she did, "quick question, why are we going after some no name losers?"

Mikisugi looked irritated in her direction, "Did you hear anything I just said?"

However Mikisugi was surprised was to hear Tsumugu interject, "Actually, for once, I agree with Nui." The surprise unveiling itself on everyone's faces including Nui's as Tsumugu continued, "We should be going after those servant ass holes who killed our guys, not these dick heads, leave them for the police."

Mikisugi went on to explain, "We're going after them because we received a tip from the Kyoto police department that they managed to get their hands on DTR and other anti life fiber technology."

Nui appeared amusingly curious about this while the surprise filled the room with one of the agents throwing out a shocked "for real?!" While the other agents worriedly chattered in the background amongst themselves.

Mikisugi attempted to get a hold of the meeting and their attention, "alright settle down, settle down!"

One of the agents spoke up questioning Mikisugi, "Do we know how they got a hold of our tech?"

Mikisugi shook his head in response, "not as of yet, but its under investigation. This group has an informant for the Kyoto police, which is how they found out about the tech currently under control by the group."

Tsumugu nodded contemplatively, "And the police isn't equipped to deal with that kinda tech so they want us to deal with it using the gear as a bargaining chip for us to clean up their rodent issue."

Mikisugi replied with an affirmative tone, "Correctamundo, and so their informant managed to obtain the whereabouts of where they are keeping this tech, so the mission today is a raid to retrieve said tech."

Nui groaned with disappointment, "ugh sounds booooring, why can't we do something more fun?"

Mikisugi complained in return to her disappointed demeanour, "Come on its not boring, we're gonna be taking on highly wanted criminals in another city! And we're gonna be taking a helicopter to get there."

Nui was suddenly interested again, "ooooo a helicopter? Now that is my style!"

Tsumugu calmly asked for more info about the mission trying to get the meeting back on track, "what time will the raid be taking place?"

Mikisugi responded just as calmly with a professional attitude, "According to the intel from the police there's gonna be a group meet up at the 21st district at 4pm, which is where they're apparently stashing the gear."

Tsumugu responded with "so we're going during a group meet up to take down as many of the bastards as possible."

Mikisugi nodded as he began to command the group, "Right, so anyone else got any more questions?" This was met with silence all around the room while Nui casually shook her head, "No? alright time to gear up, we're heading out in thirty minutes."

Mikisugi's final command signified the completion of the meeting as the agents got up from their seats and leave the room with Nui jumping up gracefully, happily skipping out of the room.

The agents acquired their weapons, checking their ammunition, their sights, their safeties and so on with Nui curiously moving about the agents taking quick inquisitive peeps on what they were doing. The agents then made their way towards a large hall. The hall held a Large double rotor black helicopter on a massive "H" surrounded by a white circle. The roof began opening up revealing a long metal elevator shaft the size of the hall. As the back of the helicopter compartment and the agents began to board the helicopter, the floor of the hall started rising up the massive elevator shaft till it reached the outside of the surface building. The rotas began spinning and the helicopter was cleared for take off as it began to rise off the helipad into the open air. Inside the helicopter sat the agents who fiddled with their gear preparing for the mission ahead, Mikisugi and Tsumugu sat next to one another, Mikisugi seemingly relaxed as usual while Tsumugu had his as usual cold composure.

"You sure this is a good idea?" Tsumugu was the first to speak up voicing his concerns.

"yeah getting this gear back is necessary for establishing balance, you know that." Mikisugi's responded with his chilled swagger.

However this answer seemed to had left Tsumugu dissatisfied, "Not what I'm saying, I mean Nui."

Mikisugi replied with an irritated sigh, "Gotta give her something to do or she might go insane, well at least more insane than she already is."

Tsumugu responded with derision, "I don't see why you're placating this monster in the first place... wait..." he started looking around the helicopter, "Where is Nui?"

Suddenly the helicopter started spinning around at a ridiculously high speed. Back in Nudist beach HQ, the pilot for the helicopter was tied up and shoved in a locker in his underwear before he was found by other nudist beach agents.

Back in the helicopter' cockpit, Nui wearing the pilot's uniform was spinning the control stick around as she laughed playfully, "Hahaha this NEVER gets old!"

In the back the agents including Tsumugu and Mikisugi were struggling to stay on their seats many of them collapsed on the floor while others struggled to put on their buckles. Mikisugi screamed towards the front of the helicopter, "NUI STOOOOP!"

In the cockpit true Nui continued without a care in the world only for clone Nui to appear, "Er Nui we should probably stop..."

True Nui responded obliviously, "why?"

Clone Nui pointed to the back, a worried expression on her face, "It seems like they're gonna puke and if they do, they're probably gonna get you to clear it up..."

True Nui seemed to come to a shocked realisation, "Oh crap you're right!"

She immediately stopped spinning and grabbed the mic to the speakers in the back talking like how a pilot would notify their passengers, "Attention all passengers, please do not puke in the helicopter, I do not want to clear that up."

In the back of the helicopter, Nui had clones Waltzing around in flight attendee uniforms handing out brown paper bags to the many agents who had collapsed all around the helicopter Struggling to recover from her stunt.

Tsumugu struggled to get out the words "too late..." before he grabbed a paper back and vomited into it.

The helicopter landed on a helicopter pad close to the Kyoto police precinct, the back of the helicopter opening up as a ramp for the agents to exit. Each agent that stepped down the ramp were drained of their energy, their faces filled with nausea.

Tsumugu stepped out before collapsing onto the floor, "Thank god... sweet concrete..."

Nui came out not too long after, "Ah what a pleasant ride~"

Tsumugu snapped in her direction, "Pleasant ride?! You're the worst pilot I've ever seen! Fuck I still feel dizzy..."

Nui seemed to be insulted by the remark, "I'll have you know I am an excellent pilot."

Mikisugi then stepped out the helicopter looking strangely refreshed, "You gotta admit Tsumugu, while the spinning was... questionable, the rest of the ride over was pretty damn smooth."

Nui turned to Mikisugi, happily accepting the compliment, "Aw thank you!"

Meanwhile Tsumugu was on his knees gripping his stomach, as he grimaced looking down at the ground, "This has gotta be some kinda nightmare..."

Mikisugi shifted into his professional mode, "Alright I'm gonna greet the police captain, Nui you go with the other agents as they get the vehicles prepped for the raid."

Nui seemed a bit disappointed, however she had abide by the request, "Ugh sounds boring, but fiiiiiine." She waltzed off following the agents.

Tsumugu stood up speaking out angrily to Mikisugi who's back was facing Tsumugu, "the hell are you doing?! She could of killed us all!"

Mikisugi replied casually, "She wasn't trying to, it was just one of her playful antics."

Tsumugu narrowed his gaze, "You call THAT a playful antic?! What is happening to you? Ever since this Nui showed up, you've been getting more and more soft."

Mikisugi uttered in a rather out-of-it reply, "Call it a... change in perspective..."

Tsumugu spoke a bit more softly in reply, "This is about Junichi Isn't it?"

Mikisugi was silent at the mention.

Tsumugu continued, "After all these years and now of all times you are letting this haunt you..."

Mikisugi scoffed angrily, "Hm, you're the last person I want to get a lecture from about the past haunting me..."

Tsumugu Had no reply as there was none as Mikisugi had pointed out his hypocrisy. Mikisugi made his way into the police department. The captain stood close to the entrance to greet Mikisugi, he was in full police uniform had short brown hair, a scruffy moustache and a wrinkled face, "Sir Mikisugi, good to have you."

Mikisugi shook the captains hand maintaining a professional outset, "Police captain Hiroyuki, its good to be here."

The captain gestured towards two plain black vans parked outside the police station, "As requested we've prepared the inconspicuous vehicles for you and your team, if you require anything else, please feel free to let me know."

Mikisugi gave the captain a quick nod with a "Thanks" before turning and moving towards the two large black agent filled vans as Tsumugu entered one of them himself.

"Oh and Sir?" The captain spoke up grabbing Mikisugi's attention causing him to turn his head towards the captain who continued, "good luck."

Mikisugi gave the captain a short salute before turning back and entering one of the vans. Nui was relaxing in said van messing with many of the agents playfully, such as poking them to grab their attention and attempting to sneak peeks underneath their revealing uniforms, especially the female agent that sat next to her. Mikisugi approached the front of the van, Knocking on the wall that separated the front of the car and the back compartment. The van erupted to life as they team of Nudist beach had head out for their mission.
