On the morning of the same day as the attack, clone Nui slept soundly in her sunlight filled hotel room. The light turning the sight of the room into an almost heavenly vision, with her stark white bed sheets and pale blue coloured walls. Nui yawned as she sat up within her bed while stretching out her arms with satisfaction, her voice comparable to a kitten nudged awake by her mother. She looked about the room, clothes strewn around her bed room, while across the open plan space she could see the kotatsu in front of the TV kept in a semi tidy condition. She smiled warmly before looking out the window the bask in the beautiful day.
"NUI!" Suddenly, her gaze was met with Gamagōri's stern face intensely staring at her from outside the window.
Of course, clone Nui started screaming. She switched over to true Nui who seemed to wake up for a moment with an expression of confusion before the crimson fibers surrounded her as clone Nui switched back into the room.
"Oh its just you Gamagōri..." Nui sighed, her voice a mix of relief and exasperation. However she perked up as the realisation hit her, "Wait why and how are you outside my window!? we're five stories up!"
Suddenly a foot kicks open her hotel door, causing Nui to scream once again. This time the people approaching was the others of the elite four, Inumuta, Uzu and even Nonon, with Uzu being the one who kicked open the door. They were all wearing casual clothing, Nonon in a reddish pink dress along with a dark pink poofy hat. Inumuta wore his usual style of dark blue turtle neck and Uzu had jeans with a green jacket over a dark green T shirt.
"He's on a window cleaner's lift" Uzu spoke up to answer Nui's question before turning to Gamagōri, "I told you it was a stupid idea!"
Gamagōri replied, his bellowing voice distorted from trying to get through the window, "She needs to be prepared for any scenario and any point attack Sanageyama!"
Nui ignored the strange interactions to get to the more pressing matters, her surprise settling into confusion, "Why are you guys here anyway?"
Nonon answered as she began to rummage around Nui's possessions, casually throwing around in random directions items that didn't interest her, "The reason for that new girl is that you've been invited to a trip."
Nui shot a look of concern for her items at Nonon before turning back to the group as a whole, "A trip?"
This time it was Inumuta who responded as he continued to tap at a furious speed into his phone, "Indeed, to Akihabara no less which was a suggestion of Mankanshoku, although the trip as a whole was conceived by lady Satsuki." Inumuta looked up from his phone before pushing up his glasses unveiling the slightest hint of irritation, "Now while I am usually opposed to going to crowded areas for luxury reasons, I can't exactly refuse Satsuki's desire for me to accompany them and well since you're coming along, I can get plenty of data..."
Uzu suddenly threw his arm over Inumuta's shoulder, chuckling with his usual buddy buddy attitude, "Ah bullshit! You're just too proud to admit that you want to come with to have fun."
"What have I told you about personal space Sanageyama..." Inumuta closed his eyes with his annoyed expression growing more intense causing Uzu to slowly back off cautiously.
Nui seemed to understand the situation now, however what confusion she had then turned to worry, "huh... But wait what about Nudist beach? Are they alright with me coming along?"
Nonon continued to look through the various objects littered by Nui's bed, "Actually it was Mikisugi who suggested that you come along, something about assigning the team watching you to act as the security detail for the trip." She then seems to grow proudly smug, "Heh as if we will need a security detail with the elite four around." After she finished speaking, she seemed to blush as she picked up a pair of pink frilly panties.
Nui appeared to react similarly, becoming flushed before quickly grabbing the panties out of Nonon's hands. She then took a second to calm down as the awkwardness settled into the scene before she finally answered, "Well... I guess I can come along, although I'm gonna need a little time to get ready..."
The room went quiet again as the information processed through each of the minds of the elite four, in particular for the male members. The moment passed and the realisation hit.
"O-oh! Right yeah come on guys lets er, wait down stairs..." Uzu would be the first to speak up. He then proceeded to push Inumuta out the door who continued to tap into his phone uncaringly letting his feet drag across the floor.
"Very well, but don't take too long, lady Satsuki is waiting." Gamagōri ordered, his voice again faded by attempting to reach through the glass of the window. He started to slowly lower as the mechanical buzz of the lift he stood in was audible within the room.
As soon as Gamagōri was gone, Nui turned to Nonon who didn't seem to be in any hurry to leave, "Erm... Nonon?"
"Oh relax Nui, we're both girls aren't we?" Nonon replied as she casually flung another one of Nui's articles of clothing across the room.
Seemingly rather troubled by the situation, Nui could only eke out a quiet "Oh... ok..."
What proceeded was an awkward trial for Nui. She got out of her PJs, an act that seemed to aggravate Nonon who observed Nui's figure with envy. Then what came was a quick shower and practically a fashion show where Nonon instructed clone Nui on what to wear, with perhaps surprisingly true Nui commending Nonon on her choices of clothing. After what must had felt like an hour later clone Nui and Nonon finally made their way into the plaza. Nui ended up wearing a pink summer dress with white poke dots and a sun hat with a pink velvet strip.
Uzu spoke up in response to the two girl's arrival with an exasperated expression, "Jesus what took you so long?!"
Nonon pouted with irritated smug superiority, "Hmph! I didn't expect you to have class but you should at least know to never rush a woman getting ready."
This only seemed to frustrate Uzu, "Huh?!-"
"It's alright Sanageyama." However he was suddenly interrupted by Gamagōri, who was partially collapsed and looked like he was on the verge of a heart attack. He then gathered himself to continue, "Satsuki took this possibility into account and are waiting at a café."
Uzu seemed to become confused with a noticeable sweat on his head but he appeared to accept this, "O-oh alright..." Inumuta was standing close behind him, watching Gamagōri, a glimmer in his glasses and a smug smile of understanding on his face.
Outside the hotel the world was filled with the summer sun's light, making every colour vibrant and filled with life as people made their way through park walk ways and across the city streets for various reasons. many of said reasons being luxury, with many preteens and adults alike out shopping while others visited arcades and loitered about on the streets, while others made their way to work or are currently at work, serving customers, on a lunch break and various other activities.
"Jeez why the hell ain't they here yet?!" Ryūko shouted out sitting at a café situated across the city from the hotel.
She was sitting outside across from Satsuki who calmly sipped on a cup of hot chocolate and Mako who casually chowed down on a multitude of croissants and various other sweet treats. Ryūko was wearing her classic casual clothing with jeans and her skull baring jacket, while Satsuki went for a more more stylish look which served to surprise Ryūko as she wore what would usually be seen in a night club, that being tight black pants, a white jacket and a dark blue crop top revealing their belly just beneath. To add further surprise Satsuki had her hair done up into a pony tail, something Ryūko thought Satsuki always disliked. Mako was more relaxed with her choice of style, light pink shorts and a light yellow T shirt which depicted two sumo wrestlers playing patty cake at a tea party, it is Mako after all.
"Calm yourself Ryūko, we did spring this on her quite suddenly and we are pretty far from the hotel." Satsuki spoke trying to relax her rowdy sister before taking a sip of her hot chocolate, she then sighed with satisfaction as she placed her cup back onto the table.
Ryūko stared at Satsuki with a relaxed glare filled with irritation, "I still can't believe we went all the way across the city just so you can have that drink..."
Satsuki shrugged with a smug expression, "Well I've taken quite a liking to it after all."
Ryūko excused the half-assed answer as other things were on her mind, "Also... what's with those clothes?"
Satsuki seemed somewhat taken aback by Ryūko's sudden question, "Oh do you not like it? I was thinking that it would be fitting to wear to Akihabara..."
"what Akihabara you've been to?" Ryūko replied with a bemused expression, much to Satsuki's flushed embarrassment.
Mako suddenly interjected still chewing on a croissant, "Who cares!? That outfit is SUPER sexy!" Mako's eyes suddenly lit up as she grew incredibly energetic, "Sugar rush!" However she immediately grabbed her head in pain, "Sugar crash..."
"Well you all look like you're having a fun time." Uzu spoke up as he and the others of the elite 4 and clone Nui approached the Café seeing the three sitting at the table.
Satsuki stood up with a relaxed joyful expression in response to their arrival, "Ah you've arrived."
Ryūko added on in exasperation, "Well about time..."
Gamagōri bowed to the three sitting at the table eyes closed, "My apologies about our late arrival."
"Hey Gamagōriiiiiiii!" Mako proceeded to jump up from her seat and was all of a sudden sitting on Gamagōri's shoulder hugging his face.
The sudden pouncing of course provoked an embarrassed blush from the towering Gamagōri "Mankanshoku!? I've told you to stop doing that!"
Nonon ignored the interactions from the others as she was immediately drawn to Satsuki. Her eyes lit up and a slight blush appeared on her cheeks from viewing Satsuki's clothing, "Lady Satsuki t-that's quite the outfit."
Clone Nui also reacted in a similar way as Nonon to the appearance of Satsuki, merely staring with a flushed expression. While true Nui floated in her ghostly form above, spectating with a bemused yet sultry gaze.
Satsuki sighed almost in fatigue from her own embarrassment, "Lets just say that it was a wardrobe malfunction..."
Ryūko bared a wickedly sly smile as she added to Satsuki's statement "More like wardrobe misconception." Much to the older sister's irritation.
Nui stepped forward grabbing the attention of the rest of the group, "Sorry to interrupt but what's the planned transport to Akihabara? We taking a train? Or are we gonna be escorted by Nudist beach agents?"
Inumuta would be the next to step forth as he continued to look into this phone, "Actually according to this, the answer to your question should be arriving right... Now."
Almost in response, A large black limo pulled up by the side of the road. Nui stared in awe as she had never seen such a fancy vehicle.
However before Nui had a chance to wonder who would be driving, door at the front of the limo opened and Rei Hōōmaru stepped out. She was wearing the same attire of blue and white striped theme suit jacket and tight dress with a matching tie and white knee socks.
As soon as she stepped out her stern gaze was focused on Nui before she quickly turned to Satsuki giving her a calm short bow, "I apologise for being late lady Satsuki, traffic appears to be quite heavy today."
Satsuki nodded respectfully, "No worries, in fact, by luck you are just in time."
"I see..." Rei stood upright before turning her gaze once again to Nui.
Nui noticed this time wondering what was on Rei's mind. However Rei upon making eye contact with clone Nui suddenly turned away.
Hōōmaru walked to the back end of the Limo on the side facing the Café before opening the side door, "Please make your way inside in a calm and orderly manner, and this is a lease, so do try to avoid making mess."
The group made their way inside, Mako and Nui looking amazed as they entered. Gamagōri in his immense size struggled to fit through the door, with him only getting inside via a swift kick to the back from Uzu, who gave a little salute with two fingers to Rei as he entered. Next was Inumuta who didn't raise his head from his phone except to give a swift Nod in Rei's direction. And next was Nonon and Ryūko who appeared to be trading snide comments playfully each other. Last was Satsuki who gave a respectful bow, which was returned by Hōōmaru before Satsuki gently stepped inside. Rei then shut the door and made her way back up to the front of the limo, opening and stepping inside the drivers seat. And with the limo turning out of the parking spot, the group were on their way to Akihabara.
It was a long journey with an unusually high amount of traffic. Many of of the group becoming frustrated enough that some were considering getting out and walking to Akihabara.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT TURN!? Can't you see I'm indicating here?!" Suddenly Rei shouted angrily from the drivers seat, however her face froze with regret as she realised the window at the back of the drivers compartment was rolling down.
"Er... Rei? Is everything alright?" Satsuki peered through, almost intimidated but mostly concerned. The others of the group shared similar looks of awkward worry due to Rei's sudden outburst.
Rei collected herself building back to her calm and stone cold demeanour as she continued to look onward through the front of the vehicle, continuing to drive, "Yes I apologise about the commotion, things are... difficult at the moment."
A drop sweat roles down Satsuki's forehead as she continued shooting an awkward look towards Hōōmaru, "I see... Well do try not to stress yourself out, we should still have plenty of time to get to Akihabara for us to enjoy our visit."
Eventually after another agonising hour, the group did arrive in Akihabara. They found a parking spot before stepping out onto the bustling streets. Countless civilians made their way through, these ranging from men and women in business suits many of which speaking hurriedly into their phones, trendy dressed youngsters typing into their own phones casually while some just walked whisk-fully wearing headphones, and many other kinds of people you would expect to see in such a part of Tokyo. With the exception of the large open spaces filled with people, streets were mostly running through grids of large block shaped buildings and sky scrapers which is about par for the course in these kind of areas of course. These buildings was plastered with various images all of which advertisements of some kind, either for electronics, anime or food and sometimes bizarrely enough a combination of all of the above.
Mako was the one to make it out of the limo first, running out open mouthed as she took in her surroundings in awe, "WOOOOOOAH this is even cooler than I expected!"
Ryūko followed suit, watching Mako in bemusement, "I don't know why you're so excited about this Mako, I mean it's just another part of Tokyo."
Mako turned back to her friend almost offended, "Just another part of Tokyo?! Akihabara is the peak of modern Japanese consumerism! It has fancy cafés with cute girls in maid outfits. amazing electronic stores, manga and even stores entirely devoted to plastic models! At least I think there is, since I only heard about it from other people and even if I did get to go I probably wouldn't be able buy anything..."
Satsuki approached the two with the others of the group following close behind, Satsuki staring up at the soaring heights of the builds surrounding them, "Well you don't have to worry about money today, I'll be taking care of that."
Ryūko seemed to react to this with cautious worry, "Sis' are you sure that's a good-"
However she was suddenly cut off by Mako running up joyfully and wrapping her arms around Satsuki, "Oh my gosh! Thank you Satsuki!"
Satsuki returned the hug with closed eyed satisfaction, "you're very welcome Mako." She then turned her head to the group behind her, "Gamagōri? I don't wish to burden you too much, but as the strongest of the group could you assist in holding some of our heavier bags?"
Gamagōri nodded respectfully, "Of course lady Satsuki."
Uzu looked at Gamagōri with a sly smile, "Heh looks like you got a real trial ahead of you Ira."
Gamagōri seemed to ignore this as he instead turned to Nui, "Harime?"
Clone Nui was looking about curiously before anxiety hit her when she realised she was being spoken to, "Y-yes?!"
Gamagōri disregarded her reaction, responding calmly, "Would you like my assistance with holding your bags as well?"
Nui waved her hands out worriedly, "O-oh its ok I don't plan to be buying much anyway..."
The elite four stared at Nui in confusion with Nonon being the first to speak up, her voice filled with disappointment. "Really?"
Uzu added on as he quickly moved behind Nui to clasp his hands on her shoulders, "Yeah Nui! You don't wanna waste an opportunity like this!"
Nui panicked as she looked around at the group, "Oh no please, I don't wanna be a burden..."
Her pleading was met with shrugs from Uzu and Gamagōri, while Nonon continued looking at Nui with confusion and Inumuta's attention had already returned to his phone.
The elite four moved to join the others. Clone Nui was going to follow before true Nui appeared by her shoulder, lounging in the air comfortably, "You know this might be the one time I agree with the Elite three..."
Clone Nui looked at her doppelganger with first irritation but then intrigue, "Its elite four, and what do you mean?"
True Nui rolled her eye with derision, "Jeez how dense are you? This offer of helping you buy stuff is your "in!"
Clone Nui stared back with confusion, "My in?"
True Nui's frustration intensified, "Your in on the group's social circle! damn not even I'm this socially inept..."
Clone Nui turned her head to look at the others of the group, her eye filled a cocktail of emotions from longing to guilt. She contemplated for a short moment before responding, "I haven't earned it... I haven't proven I deserve it, at least... not to myself."
True Nui looked to the side and sighed, "Ugh that's so dreadfully idealistic..." She then disappeared leaving clone Nui, who ignoring true Nui's last remark, walked onward to join the rest of the group.
The visit to Akihabara began, the group traversing the populated area as their sights were filled with the colours of the various advertisements and colourful individuals. They walked passed nerdy guys carrying several bags filled with various tech and anime merchandise, A group of young energetic girls running into arcades, one dropping their ice cream on the way inside and many men and women in business suits which made the nudist beach squad tailing the group exceedingly weary.
Their first stop was at a tech store. Finally Inumuta's attention was swiftly grabbed away from his phone, however he soon showed immense disappointment at the selection of the store. Satsuki stuck by Ryūko who marvelled in confusion at the specs listed of a laptop.
Ryūko turned her head to locate Inumuta among the narrow isles of the tech shop, "Hey er... Inumuta? Is this good?"
Satsuki narrowed her eyes, peering inquisitively into the specs herself as Inumuta made his way over, squeezing past uzu who was browsing the shop's music player selection.
Inumuta took a quick look at the specs himself before replying, "Hm, its... alright I guess however for that price I would expect at least a terabyte of storage, 3.7 MHZ and much better resolution."
Ryūko now stared at Inumuta in a deeper confusion.
Seemingly in response, Nonon walked up to Inumuta's side, "Hey nerd! you may want to dumb it down a bit for her."
Inumuta sighed deeply, his irritation incredibly apparent, "Its... fine."
Meanwhile Mako seemed to bounce around the store at a ferocious speed, staring in marvel at each of the displays, "I want this one and I want this one and I want this one and this one and this one!"
Gamagōri, who struggled to fit his massive stature in the shop's tight area, shouting over to Mako in a commanding and even slightly concerned tone, "Stop it right now Mankanshoku! There's not enough room in the shop to move around like that!" However his efforts were in vain as Mako continued bouncing around the shop.
Back at the entrance to the store, Clone Nui stood looking curiously around the chaotic scene. True Nui appeared by her side floating in the air also looking about although she had a look of disdain.
Clone Nui turned to her right to see a camera on display, her eye brightened as she had an idea and picked up the camera before pointing it towards true Nui, however she was soon disappointed as nothing appeared in the feed. She then turned back to use the camera to peer through the glass door entrance of the shop to see Rei standing outside.
Clone Nui stared at her for a couple of seconds before suddenly being interrupted by an exasperated sigh from true Nui, "Ugh... this is such a waste of time..."
Clone Nui questioned with her own level of exasperation as she placed the camera back in the display, "What? You not into this kind of stuff?"
True Nui rolled her eye as she continued to float in the air, her elbow placed on one knee up as she propped her head on her hand, "Something like that I suppose..."
Clone Nui smiled sombrely, "You know, you might enjoy this a bit more if you relaxed and let loose a bit."
True Nui watched on at the group within the store only to see the displays collapse upon each other from Mako's bouncing creating an even more chaotic scene, "hm... I'll pass."
The group, after assisting with the cleaning up of the shop, made their way to their next destination, this time a Maid café, the pink stylings of the store front and a sign featuring two cat girl maids playing with a ball of string made it ever apparent what was instore for the group.
"You sure you wanna go here Mako? I hear there's a convention goin' on down the street, maybe we could go there instead?" Ryūko questioned awkwardly as she looked at the café in nervous anticipation.
Mako turned to Ryūko in her usual over the top excitement, "Are you kidding me?! you can't visit Akihabara without going to at least one maid café!"
Ryūko sighed with exasperation, "Alright fine..."
Satsuki placed her arm around Ryūko's shoulder attempting to console her sister, "Don't worry I'm sure it won't be too bad."
Upon entering and asking for a table, they were guided by a girl with short blonde hair wearing a black and white styled frilly outfit and a hair band with cat ears, she bore a stern look like she looked down on everyone around her, "Sit yourselves down you pigs!" She gestured towards a large pink heart shaped tabled surrounded by dozens of chairs with heart shaped seats and back rests.
The awkwardness set in as the group sat together, Nonon being the first to speak up as she picked up a menu from the table, the menu baring several depictions of cat girl maids making heart shaped symbols with their hands, "Jeez I like pink and all but this is starting to hurt my eyes..."
This remark wasn't without reason either, as the walls, the other furnishings and even the floor was various shades of pink, the saturation of these colours making the black and white outfits stand out from throughout the café.
"You sure Nonon?" Uzu smiled with smug playfulness "I bet you would make a great tsundere maid, maybe you should make an application!" As expected a Menu came flying in to Uzu's face.
Conversation began to flourish among the group, Mako of course attempting to order everything on the menu while Satsuki attempted to dissuade her and Ryūko watched in bemusement. Arguments continued between Uzu and Nonon while Gamagōri sat between them attempting to disrupt the two's banter. Inumuta simply sat beside them tapping into his phone at furious speeds while showing mild irritation to the ruckus beside him. Clone Nui sat in between the elite 4 a few paces away from Inumuta and next to Satsuki, Mako and Ryūko. Her position at the table leaving her feeling rather out of place as she simply sat and smiled awkwardly.
Meanwhile True Nui looking about casually in her ghostly form noticed a rather timid looking brunette maid about to walk past. True Nui's face quickly twisted into a mischievous smile. She waited for the maid to just reach past where clone Nui was sitting before suddenly becoming a blood form and snatching the hair band off the maid's head, clone Nui of course shivering convulsing at the blood suddenly leaving her body.
it took a moment for the maid to realise she was missing her hair band to the point she had already just passed Inumuta. She began panicking looking about worriedly for her head band when she stepped on the menu that was thrown which was now on the floor.
She quickly slipped on the menu and began tumbling towards the ground. Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Inumuta rushed out of his seat catching the maid wrapping his arm around her waist. The scene went silent as the group around the table stared in shock at Inumuta holding the maid to prevent her from falling.
Inumuta looked the maid in the eyes with his usual cold distant glare, "Are you alright?"
The maid blushed slightly as she looked back in amazed reverence, "u-uh yeah..."
Inumuta offered the maid his hand which she tentatively grabbed as Inumuta helped her back to her feet. The maid quickly tried to compose herself before walking away her face a bright red. Inumuta meanwhile quietly and calmly sitting back down in his seat.
Uzu looked at Inumuta with the same awkward surprise as before, a bead sweat dropping down one side of his forehead, "y-yo you good dude...?"
Un-phased, Inumuta returned his own look towards Uzu, "Yes I'm fine, by the way are we going to order soon? If so I would like a slice of strawberry cheese cake."
Looked back towards the table attempting to move past what had occurred, "O-oh alright..."
Ryūko spectated the interactions casually, however her attention was drawn away as she realised a cat ear maid hair band on her head which filled her with mild confusion.
Beyond the café, amidst the steel jungle of Akihabara's towering buildings, an individual sat within the heights of an unfinished sky scraper. It was a male figure wearing a dark purple suit jacket over a white shirt and black tie along with matching purple suit trousers. Perhaps bizarrely the individual had a hood the same colour of his suit attached to the jacket, this hood hid his head, leaving his face obscured within a void of darkness. As the individual sat he appeared to be playing a game on a retro handheld console repeatedly flicking the analogue sticks and pressing the console's buttons sending sounds of the game echoing throughout the empty construction zone.
"I see you've made yourself at home Reaper." A cold, stoic yet familiar voice called out to the individual who seemed to go by the name "Reaper."
"Yeah well gotta do that when my partner is taking fucking forever to get 'ere..." The Reaper continued playing his retro game as he spoke with a casual tone of a fairly young man as well as frequently using swearing, slang and shortening his words playfully.
"I apologise about that, just needed to conduct some preparations." The origin of the voice stepped forward to reveal the Operator. He wore a similar uniform as his first appearance, however this outfit now seemed to be entirely filled with various shades of a dark green.
This actually caught the Reapers attention as he looked up from his game, "Oh shit! is that the prototype?" The Reaper was met with a short nod from the operator before he returned to his game, "'bout time, why the hell did they send ya on the first mission before they finished it?"
The Operator joined the Reaper's side, looking out across the city skyline, "You shouldn't reveal the ace up your sleeve at the start of the game, we lost nothing from the mission's failure and planted the seed of fear within the enemy's heart."
"Yeah yeah whatever..." The Reaper responded dismissively before raising his head slightly so his void for a face was then facing the operator, "By the way... What's with the green?"
The operator had a mild chuckle before replying, "Lets just say that I wanted a look more befitting of a man that's been forced to change..."
The scene was met with an awkward silence as the Reaper tried to process what the Operator was trying to say, "Is that a reference to something that I'm not getting?"
The Operator seemed to grow frustrated by this response, "God damn it did you not pay any attention at all to the briefing of the events at Honnōji Academy? The researcher worked hard to get the necessary individuals for that information you know?"
The Reaper did a casual, dismissive hand waving motion, "Aw relax dude you know I'm not the kinda guy for taking in briefings, lectures and all that crap, just point me in the enemy's direction and Ill make 'em squirm!"
The operator gave a quick, "Hm." Before suddenly receiving feedback through his radio causing him to pull said radio out of his jacket and hold it up to his face.
"Sir, its Alpha one, the targets are leaving the café what are your orders?" It was a servant speaking through expectantly to the Operator as his commanding officer.
"Looks like the party is about to start." The operator turned his head to the Reaper before pressing the button on the side of the radio to respond, "Roger that Alpha one, you and Beta squad are to leave your specialist with the barrier generators and get into position while Charlie squad is to move in to quietly take out the tailing nudist agents."
The servant on the other end of the line gave a quick "Roger that." Before the operator put back the radio within his jacket.
"Alright." The Operator turned around and began to walk through the building before stopping and turning back to the Reaper, "We should be hearing about the beginning of the Executioner's assault on the American nudist beach facility from HQ any moment now, you ready?"
The Reaper jumped up onto his feet, "Of course!" Despite not being visible, his giddy smile was audible in his voice as he walked past the Operator, "Let's fuck 'em up!"
