About five minutes after departing Dr. Earnhardt's house, Touko parked the technical that had become their primary mode of transportation around the island in front of a small makeshift gas station in Amanaki, little more than a shack with a couple of hand-operated pumps next to it.
Touko and the others walked over around the gas station, to the village of Amanaki proper, making their way to the general store and walking inside.
"Hello", the woman at the counter said, "You're the kids who crash landed on the island, right. Is there anything in particular you are looking for?"
"Yes", Ann said, getting out the large wad of cash they now carried- between the 400 dollars Taro found in the shack that first night and the money they took off that pirate in the outpost, they had almost $4500, "Do you have suppressors that will work with these guns?".
Touko and Kazuki both drew the SiG Sauer P220 pistols they found of the dead helicopter pilot and copilot, as well as Touko's Agram 2000 SMG and placed them on the counter.
"Yes, I have the suppressors for all three of those in stock", the store owner replied, "Is there anything else I can get you?"
"There is", Ann said, "Do you have a suppressor for an SVD Dragunov?"
"I am afraid not", the shopkeeper said, "If you want silent, long-range firepower, however, I might recommend this M40, I can sell it to you with a suppressor and a standard five times scope for 600 dollars, but for 800, I'll include this 2.5-10 times adjustable scope."
Ann translated with the woman in the store had said, and then asked, "What do you think, Touko?"
"Depends, ask her how much it is with the other suppressors and a third handgun, and ammunition.", Touko replied.
"How much would the total be for the rifle with all the attachments, as well as the three pistols and another suppressed handgun?", Ann asked.
"With this Makarov 9mm and a suppressor, as well as the other items, it comes to a total of $1250.", The shop owner replied.
Ann reported this to Touko, "It's a lot of money, but knowing how easily we found that, we can probably get more rather easily. I say we have ourselves a deal".
"All right", Ann said as she counted out 13 hundred-dollar notes from the large wad of money, "We'll take it".
The store owner gave them a fifty dollar bill in change, and then handed over the supressors to Touko, who passed them to their owners along with their handguns. Ann then took the M40 rifle and Makarov, as well as a couple boxes of 7.62mm subsonic ammo for use with suppressors and a box of 9mm Makarov.
After a few minutes, all four of them were armed up, having attached the suppressors to their weapons.
"Wait a sec", Kazuki said, "Where are we going to keep our other weapons, the AKs and stuff?"
"We can keep them in that old shack Dennis said we could use and pick them up on the way back.", Touko replied.
After storing their equipment away in the shack, Touko, Kazuki, and Ann drove north for a couple kilometers in the technical, before Touko parked the vehicle.
"According to the map, we should be close to the wreck of the Medusa", Touko said, "We'll take it one foot from here. Keep your eyes open".
Touko led the other two through the jungle for a few hundred meters, treading as lightly as possible. Suddenly, Touko raised her hand, making "stop" signal.
Touko then held up two fingers, indicating two hostiles. The two enemies were relatively close, one, about 60 meters away, the other, only 30.
"Take 'em out", Touko whispered.
Kazuki drew his suppressed SiG Sauer pistol and took aim at the nearer pirate's head, while Ann aimed her rifle at the further enemy. Touko counted now with her fingers… "Three… Two… One…"
As Touko lowered her last finger, the two suppressed weapons made a muffled popping noise, as both pirates fell down, dead from a gunshot the head. Touko made a motion with her hand- move forward.
At the edge of the forest was a large cliff, about a hundred meters tall, with a large shipwreck at the bottom. That had to be the Medusa. The only route down was an old concrete staircase leading to a series of bunkers, dating back to the Japanese presence on the island in World War II.
"We're going down", Touko said, "Be careful, there could be hostiles in the bunker."
Touko led the way down the staircase, entering the first bunker, a short, cylindrical concrete structure with a firing slit on one end. Just enough light was coming in through the firing slit to make a flashlight unnecessary.
Ann slung her sniper rifle over her shoulder, it being little use in the dark corridor, as Kazuki whispered, "Check this out".
Kazuki had found a dead body clad in what was only barely recognizable as a World War II-era Japanese uniform in the bunker, and next to it, a sheathed tanto- a traditional Japanese dagger.
"Nice find", Touko said, "That could be of some use in close combat."
Ann looked out the firing slit, catching a glimpse of the interior of the next bunker, which was about half-way down the cliff, connected to the first by a second staircase.
"Careful", Ann said, "There's a hostile in the next bunker, but I can't get a clear shot at him at this angle"
"We'll take him out quietly then", Touko said.
The three of them crept forward through the bunker, and along the staircase. Kazuki took the lead, creeping into the bunker. Before Touko could stop him, however, he had drawn his tanto, and entered the bunker.
Kazuki lunged at the pirate from behind, who, by the time he had noticed Kazuki, already had a tanto blade protruding through his chest. Kazuki put his hand over the man's throat and pulled the body downwards, lowering it to the ground as quietly as possible.
"Are you crazy?", Touko asked, "You could have got us all killed!"
"Says the girl who knifed two pirates yesterday", Kazuki retorted.
"That was…", Touko said.
"You two should both be quiet", Ann said, reminding them that their argument could indeed alert nearby enemies.
"I guess your right", Touko said, "But no more unnecessary risks".
"I got it, OK", Kazuki said, as her wiped off the tanto on the pirate's clothing, then sheathed the blade and raised his suppressed MP5 again.
After the next bunker, staircase continued down, winding twice, before finally ending on the beach at the bottom of the cliff. Touko and the others crouched, low enough to hide behind the chest-high concrete wall at the edge of the staircase.
At the bottom of the stairs, Touko peeked around, spotting an old, rusting shipping container concealing them for the view of the ship. Also behind the container were two pirates conversing with one another. Thankfully, they did not appear to have noticed Touko.
"Two hostiles", Touko whispered, "Ann, take 'em out."
Ann nodded, and a raised unslung her rifle. It was only a distance of about ten meters to the pirates, but they were facing each other, perfect position for a large-caliber round like the one fired by the M40 to shoot straight through one and into the other.
Ann took aim, her scope at its minimum zoom, only 2.5 times, placing the crosshair over the pirate's head. The silencer let out a dull pop as a 7.62mm NATO round flew entered the head of the first pirate, and exited, practically exploding his face. The round then kept going, scoring a fatal shot on the second pirate as well.
"Two tangos down", Ann said quietly.
Touko got up from behind the wall, and hid behind the shipping container, quickly followed by Kazuki and Ann.
Kazuki peeked out this time, stating, "Three hostiles, one of em's near half an upturned boat, the other is behind some kind of rusted engine or something, distance 20 meters. The third is on the ship about 50 meters beyond the other two", he whispered.
"Then were going to have to take them out at the same time.", Touko said, readying her Agram 2000.
"I'll go around the left side of the container and take the one by the upturned boat", Kazuki said.
"Ann, take the guy on the boat", Touko said, "I'll go right and take the guy near the engine…. On 3… 2… 1… go!"
Touko turned the corner around the right side of the container and fired her Agram 2000, the silenced SMG spitting out a burst of three rounds, hitting the pirate in the center mass, killing him.
On the other side of the container, Kazuki fired his MP5 at the pirate next to the boat, dropping him to sand to join his fellow in death. Finally, Ann's M40 fired off a single round, a headshot, eliminating the pirate on the top deck of the Medusa.
"On me!", Touko said, as she led the three of them, weaving between debris strewn between the container and the wreck of the Medusa, making their way towards a huge hole in the hull near bow of the ship. The three of them stacked up briefly against the hill on the right side of the hole.
After checking that the area was clear, Touko gave the hand signal to follow her. Touko walked up the stairs to the top deck of the vessel, pausing briefly to fire a short burst from her Agram, eliminating a pirate on the deck.
From their vantage point on the other side of the ship, they could see that, in addition to the Medusa, two other ships had run aground in the general area.
"I see two pirates on the beach, about fifty meters away, and a sniper on the top deck of the second ship", Ann said.
"Smoke 'em", Touko said, "Then come with us, we need you to read the comms records"
"Roger", Ann said, setting up her sniper rifle and firing off three shots, for three kills. Ann then reloaded her M40 as Kazuki grabbed onto a wheel for opening the door to the bridge.
There was only one man in the bridge as Touko, Ann, and Kazuki entered, a radio operator. Kazuki immediately got out his tanto and thrust it into the operator's back, causing him to cough up blood and fall to the floor, dead.
"Nice one, Kazuki", Touko said, "The comms records should be somewhere in here. Look for a tape recorder or something".
The records, however, proved to be quite unnecessary, as the radio crackled to life.
"Vaas is recording ransom videos at PC", a voice on the radio said.
"He's ransoming them?!", another voice said, "I was told to line up buyers."
"Do it", the first man they hear said, "After the money from the parents shows up, the kids go on the black market and we deliver them to the buyers."
"Double the money. Daddy likes", the first pirate said.
"It sounds like they're holding them somewhere called PC.", Ann whispered, "They plan to demand ransom money, and then, after they get the money, sell them into slavery anyway!"
Suddenly, a third voice shouted on the radio. "Hey, can the chatter! Someone triggered an alarm on the Medusa, you morons."
"We're closest. We've got two boats full of men, heading there now", a voice said on the radio.
"They're sending in reinforcements", Ann said, "We have to go now!"
Ann exited the bridge, followed by Touko and Kazuki. Already, two armed rigid inflatable boats could be seen on the waters off of the wreck.
"Ann, take one with your sniper rifle", Touko said, "I saw a machine gun on the bow, I'm going for it."
Ann took aim at further of the RIBs, picking off first the gunner on the mounted machine gun, then the driver, and finally the two other pirates. The now unmanned boat came to a stop about 20 meters from shore.
Touko, meanwhile, opened fired with a DShK machine gun mounted on the bow of the Medusa. Touko held down the trigger, placing the sight slightly ahead of the moving boat. After about two dozen rounds had impacted the boat, the vessel's engine caught fire, and, second later, exploded.
"All right, lets move, before more of them show up".
Touko and the others ran back down the stairs to the lower deck and out of the hole in the ship, back up the stairs up the bunker from where they came. Thankfully, they met no more pirates on the way. They did not stop running until they were several hundred meters into the jungle on top of the cliff, breathing heavily as they walked to the place where they parked the technical.
After making it to the vehicle, they drove back to Dr. Earnhardt's mansion on the west end of the island. After Touko paused briefly to ensure no pirates were paying the doctor a visit for their drug fix, they made their way around the back, into the cave.
As they entered, they heard a familiar male voice yell "Kamiya!"
"Demon", Touko replied.
"Welcome back", Taro said as they walked into the room, "Glad to see you're all OK".
"Anything happen while you were away?", Taro asked.
"Nothing much", Nanami said, "Dr. Earnhardt came by, offering us some food… and some of his little red pills"
"We declined the latter", Taro added, "You guys find anything?".
"We found some info on where they're holding the others", Touko said, "Somewhere called PC"
"Hold on a sec", Ann said, "I'm gonna give that Dennis guy a call, see if he knows anything about this".
Ann pulled out the cell phone and called the first only numbers saved in the phone- Dennis and Dr. Earnhardt's.
"Hey Dennis", Ann said, "You know anyth…."
"Ann", Dennis said, "There is no time to talk. The pirate's leader, Vaas, he wants us dead. We need your help over at Amanaki village. Please, come quickly." At that, Dennis hung up.
"What?!", Ann asked.
"What happened?", Touko asked.
"Dennis just said there's no time to talk- he needs help at Amanaki, told us to come quickly", Ann replied.
"What do we do?", Kazuki asked.
After a few moments, Touko replied, "Taro, Kazuki, come with me, we're going the find out what the hell is going on."
