CHARACTER EPISODE #4: Lars Alexandersson
"You think you can stop me?"
Lars finds himself among the rest of the Zaibatsu against the United Nations after fending off several of their soldiers and rescuing Jin in the Middle East. He is set to travel through Russia as a means to get support from the doctor who created Alisa and help the Zaibatsu brace for further invasions.
However, the interference of a silent bruiser, with his own independent intentions involving his homeland, threatens to halt the advances of the Zaibatsu. Halted in his tracks in the midst of the mission, Lars has to prepare for battle, with the objective, and perhaps his life, on the line.
INTRO
Lars blocked some incoming blows from his newfound opponent, and made an evading backflip to keep distance.
"I don't know what the hell you want... but you're going to have to step aside; we have a mission to complete!"
Sergei Dragunov did not respond with words, as was the standard for the silent fighter. Instead, he sneered as he settled into his battle stance. It was clear that Lars had to fight through him in order to complete the mission, and there was no other option.
"Then you leave me no choice." The uniquely-haired soldier realized this, and prepared to engage in battle. "Let's go!"
OUTRO
It was rare to see Dragunov on the losing end of a fight – the White Angel of Death's Commando Sambo style was a powerful and effective fighting style indeed, but it seemed to be no match to Lars' much faster method of combat.
Lars stood over the Spetsnaz operative. "We have a mission, and we're not going to fail the Zaibatsu; not now, not ever."
The Swedish soldier walked past, intending to reunite with his partner in the path ahead. However, what he didn't catch was Dragunov's snicker of sinister confidence; the silent Russian had something up his sleeve despite the loss, as he made the signal clear, gesturing towards the opponent that beat him.
Following this, Lars soon took notice to something at his right – a military tanker slowly rolling in his direction, armed with missiles at the ready.
Lars partially considered this as Dragunov's way to showing he was a bit of a sore loser, but he also considered this as a fairly clever counter-action, as he realized he needed to evade the missiles firing towards him.
He enacted several evasive rolls, making several close calls as the missiles missed, but still emitted fairly strong explosions with each one that dropped.
"Lars!"
Alisa glided across the air to reach her partner before things had the potential to get worse.
The timing could not be any better for a quick escape from the increasingly destructive battleground. Lars spoke as he was being helped up by his android partner, "Alisa; let's get the hell out of here!"
She nodded. "Agreed!"
Making a mad dash ahead to their destination, the two Zaibatsu-aligned fighters escaped, quickly getting out of the range of the tankers and leaving the missiles with zero casualties resulted.
Dragunov's bombardment of explosive weaponry did not turn out the way he expected, his scorn towards the plan's outcome clear as he smashed against the snowy ground with his fist.
