To all readers:
- Sorry if the update was late. Been attending Anime Evolution in Vancouver for 3 days. Was cool. Well, the least thing I can do is to update my story about Wraith, the so far mysterious ex-North Korean State Security Department agent (Well, she has to be from the SSD. North Korea's counterpart of the KGB and all.). Haven't seen her face as of 2nd Raid, but I have in the novel ones. To top this all, I've got like 1218 people viewing this story! Whoa! I'd like to thank those who read my stories and to those especially who took their time off to review my story. Really appreciate it since it means a lot to my work in doing fanfiction.
Anyway, that's enough for now. Better get to work. For the meantime, hope you people like this chapter. As for the FMP AU story starting from 1st season, I'm not sure if I should start doing it since I've watched the Patlabor movies recently with Patlabor 2. That movie makes a good backdrop for a crossover with FMP, Rainbow Six (and probably Ghost Recon) and this cartoon series that I'd like to put in (HINT: One of the cartoon's VAs is in Metal Gear Solid 3. Guess who he is.). However, I'll need to change it since the Patlabor 2 doesn't have the Soviet Union any longer, but Russia instead. Hang on folks, Mizuki is next before two more chapters to go. I promise!!
Well, enjoy reading the Wraith-centric chapter!
Chapter 6: Wraith
This takes place during the last episode of Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid
Roof, Adjacent Building near Jindai High School, Chofu, Tokyo, Japan
It was only a day or so ago when I first met a particular Sergeant from MITHRIL's Tactical Division.
That particular sergeant's name was Sousuke Sagara.
I'll never forget my first meeting with him, though not face to face when I saw him babbling from the safehouse about the Whispered. When I saw that, I had the urge to face him and smack his face down on the ground for shouting out classified information that even the lowest of terrorist groups would just love to kidnap that sergeant and interrogate him.
When I spoke to him, he seemed to have this... I don't know, a dedication to his mission in protecting Kaname Chidori, the Whispered recently sighted by the Intelligence Division's Tokyo Bureau a year or so ago. I would say that he is dedicated, but just look at the way he acts whenever he's around the subject.
I've already cited those incidents in my reports sent to General Amit. Just for instance, brandishing a combat knife out of nowhere in the sidewalk with civilians about. Or what about the fact that he took out his Glock 19 and threatened the barber who tried to give him a haircut? Not to mention numerous incidents in Jindai High, especially with the EMP device on the school's roof or with numerous explosions throughout the school in the middle of one night.
After receiving the news that Sergeant Sagara had been recalled back to Merida Island, I felt a bit overjoyed that a burden was partially lifted off my shoulders in observing Ms. Chidori. Watching her from a safe distance was nothing compared to my State Security Department days when I was usually secretly deployed by the general to eye out officers from the Korean People's Army that were corrupt or were preparing to oust the great leader before my eventual defection from North Korea.
But on the day that I saw Ms. Chidori in a love hotel as part of my surveillance work, I never expected her to sneak up behind me with a tazer behind my back. I have to admit, she seems to be like the female counterpart of Sergeant Sagara. I must say that I was impressed by her sneak attack. Until that part, I had the part of observing Ms. Chidori only under my watch. However, that's when my view changed...
I remember that I was saved by the same objective that I was observing from afar. That's when I realized how much Sergeant Sagara meant to Ms. Chidori to the fact that she demanded that I immediately escort her to Hong Kong at once in order to help him. After all that fiasco in Hong Kong had ended with the death of an Amalgam agent named Gates, it was then that I realized something about Sergeant Sagara.
He was fiercely dedicated to Ms. Chidori and would even abandon a mission after being terminated from his original mission. I don't know if I should sympathize with him. He wasn't able to integrate as a civilian for 6 long months ago and yet, he wants to cherish that part as part of his Japanese legend. Guess that's what happens when you get orphaned into Soviet hands and getting yourself sent to Afghanistan, if I at least got that right in my dossier that I was given about him.
For now, I have to work with that... that Sergeant again! Sigh, I don't know if I just can't stand it due to his inability to be civilized as much as possible or due to the fact that he's solely dedicated to protecting Angel.
Speaking of protecting, my binoculars have seem to register the Sergeant entering the faculty workroom again. Who's he talking to? Ah, his History teacher. I wonder what happens if I used my laser sight on him. Okay. Steady, steady, steady now... And bingo!
I don't believe it! The sergeant was in action again, pushing the old geezer down with Angel walking in and hit him with her harisen. Oh goodness, that's so funny.
Maybe I should put leave that last part out of my report that I need to submit to General Amit...
For now.
Chapter 6 END
PS - Some of the references that you see here are from the Second Raid. But can you spot the one from FMP: Fumoffu? He he...
As to those who aren't sure about the State Security Department, it's the DPRK's equal to the KGB, said to be headed by an officer with the rank of General. They were said to be much ruthless than them. And yes, the Korean's People Army is the official name of the North Korean army. Go figure...
A legend, as I call it in this chapter, is used for spies and what not when they have a fake cover story.
