Movement Two: Night Fire
Location: Somewhere in Japan.
Suburb in winter, no insects buzzing, no branches being blown by wind, entire world in silence, only occasionally passing cars disturb this peaceful surrounding. Silver moonlight shines upon dense vegetation tries to covert everything into its color.
Eleven elite commandos in black combat suits, forming a task force, move soundlessly across forest and bush, with two as vanguards and two as rearguards. They take the arrow formation, approaches a nearby hill like a hunting party of mongoliensis.
"Waypoint arrived, fall in!" They quickly switch into circle formation, who stands in center is the head, Colonel Price. The meaning of so-called "war machine" is "fusing all people's strength into one single person", Colonel Price himself is the brain of this "one single person".
"We execute the operation as planned. Minimize causalities of both sides. Understand?"
"Minimize causalities of both sides" is the decision made by Kotonoha's father and Colonel Price. Compare with corrupted government, those policemen have little guilt to be blamed for since they merely obey their duties. If Kotonoha's father complies with government's demand to exchange his daughter, everything will be simple. But he will not do so, he will definitely save his beloved daughter, but via a different way, a way of vanquishing evil by justice.
Commandos: "Roger." Price: "Move!" Everyone systematically enters combat mode. They release safety switches of their toys, man their designated positions.
Captain Duke, climbs on a big tree, hides himself, as well as his M24 Anti-Personnel Sniper Rifle into bushy crown. Pulls bolt, loads bullet, he switches eyes between every window, corridor, lookout post of the bridewell 1000 meters away via scope, he's thought and action are totally integrated with the toy in hands, and is ready to dispose anyone in sight by order.
Beside him, Lieutenant Plasma Snake is hiding himself along with night-vision device into leaves and branches. His duty is demonstrate targets for companions—an ideal choice for someone dislikes killing. Night-vision device is started up, positions of friends and foes are revealed—by bright dots on scope.
A WZ-6 UAV is hovering 2000 meters above, observes and records everything by its cameras and other sensors, transmits all data synchronously to dozens kilometers away, to the frontier command disguised into a cargo ship. On the ship, operator of UAV, Commander Matrix, is observing and analyzing entire region via this flying toy, and with a female's exclusive exquisiteness. As she reports useful information back to task force, a new comer, Ensign Betruger is working on files beside her.
Commander Matrix: "Okay fellas, guards of targeted bridewell normal, surrounding environments normal. You can proceed as planned." In front of her there's a large Full-High-Definition screen, showing a 3-dimension map of mission area, nine blue dots are moving to a building with fast, a dozen of red dots are guarding that building, but totally unaware of what they are going to deal with.
A specialized arrow, with anaesthetic capable of subduing an elephant, pierces the window of a watch-tower, almost instantly puts a guard into deep-sleep. Major Deuterium quickly reloads his crossbow, aims on next target. He is born with an exceptionally high level of night-vision ability, needs no specialized equipments in this kind of dark.
Another guard is taken care of, easy as Call of Duty. Major Deuterium has 8 years of actual combat experience and never gets a scratch, even to a well-trained GI, he's still the equivalent of Thanatos. However this mission needs him to suppress his specialty of "accelerating the meeting between human and God", which gives him a feeling of using a howitzer to dismantle a telephone box. Anyway, he does his part perfectly as usual.
The nine "blue dots" rendezvous outside the wall, beyond this enclosure is the structure contains the extreme valuable hostage-primary objective of rescue. Commandos even can look through bricks and concretes to see the helpless girl.
