Nukid and Maria had taken a ship from Enies Lobby to Tutsuga. It was night time by the time they got there but it was perfect for the plan

Upon landing the two CP9 agents were greeted by about a hundred soldiers. All carrying rifles and look ready for a battle

'What the hell are all you doing here? This is a CP9 mission' Nukid barked at the soldiers

'Sorry sir but we have been ordered to help you two on your mission. It seems as though the Archaeologists have taken up arms and are prepared to fight us' The officer of the Marines explained

'Nothing we can't handle. I alone have the strength of 300 soldiers' Nukid boasted. He had gotten a lot stronger over the year

'That maybe so but Spandam is worried about a certain members mental status at the moment and would like us to watch over you during the mission' he replied while Maria grew angry

'That cock bite! How dare he do this to me! When I get back I'm gonna…' Maria was cut off by Nukid

'I understand captain. We will carry on with the mission with your supervision' the officer nodded and walked off followed by the 99 soldiers

'It's time we got this over with Maria. You ready?' Nukid could see she wasn't

'I can deal with killing some but all of them. Can't we just take out the leaders?' Maria pleaded but Nukid shook his head

'There is nearly always a replacement. We need to take all the criminals out in order to bring peace o.k.?' Nukid said comfortably. She nodded faintly

'Good. Soru!' they both then ran at full speed away to the town filled with rebels…

Two men patrolled the streets at night watching out for any enemies from the government

As they turned the corner they were shocked to see Nukid standing there looking at them

'People who disrupt the peace of this world must be eliminated for the good. I've got no choice' Nukid said drarkly

'Shit a government bastard! OPEN FIRE!!' the two patrolman then fired with their guns right at Nukid

'Tekkai' Nukid tensed his muscles and the bullets practically hit hard steel doing no damage. The two patrolman were shocked and tried to run but Nukid was ready

'Soru' Nukid ran and caught up to them in seconds 'Shigan' Nukid then stabbed both members with his first finger into their skulls killing them both

'That's this part done. I hope Maria's doing o.k. though. I best check on her. Geppou' Nukid then jumped into the air searching for her

Meanwhile….

Maria was cornered by three men with guns but she knew what to do

'Rankyaku' Maria fired a blade at one man slicing down on his chest. The other two charged rifles up but Maria jumped over there heads and punched them both into the walls

'You three are done. Onto the next street' Maria said as she ran down the street leading to the town square, however she was shocked at what she saw

A group of a hundred woman, children and elderly were walking down a long street carrying bags and had scared looks on there faces at the sight of Maria

'What…what is all this?' Maria said to herself. From the air Nukid suddenly dropped down from the sky and was just as surprised as Maria was

'These people…they must be the civilians in this town' Nukid said

'So they're not the enemy, then we don't need to kill them' Maria proposed

'I'm afraid you wrong miss' Nukid and Maria turned to see the officer from before and the 99 men walking to them guns raised

'These peasants have socialised with the Archaeologists in this town, polluting their minds. Heck there are probably some hidden in their. They are beyond saving and must be terminated' the officer said which scared the evacuees. Nukid and Maria both looked shocked at this

'But they're innocent! Aren't we supposed to protect the innocent? I thought the World Government cared about it's people' Maria protested

'She's right. This isn't necessary captain. We'll deal with the criminals without hurting the innocent. Why do you think innocent people have to be harmed

'Stupid children. There must be sacrifices if we are to gain peace. This is just a small one. Now kill them all' the Officer ordered

'No' Maria said boldly not afraid. She was not gonna do this horrendous act. Nukid was going to try and be peace keeper again until….

BANG

Nukid jumped at the sound of a gunshot. He looked around to see where it had came from. It sounded like it had came from the group of soldiers, but what did they shoot

It was then Nukid heard a gurgling like noise, like someone was being choked. He turned around to see what was causing the noise, but Nukid soon went pale and his whole body began to shake

Maria stood there eyes wide open half in shock half in pain. Her neck was slowly spilling with blood and she looked like she was about to fall down. She had been shot in the neck

'…Nukid…' Maria whispered as she fell to the ground. Nukid quickly jump forward and grabbed her before she fell. He held her in his arms still shock from what had happened

'Maria! MARIA!!' Nukid shouted but he got no reply from her. She laid in his arms motionless. Dead

By now Nukids eyes was filled with tears. He wanted to do something, anything that might save her, but Nukid was so good at killing people, he didn't have the first clue as to how to save one

'Good job private. An excellent shot' the officer patted a soldier who's gun was realeasing smoke from his barrel. He was the one who shot her

'…….You killed her……YOU KILLED HER!!' Nukid shouted as he got up his eyes drowned with tears

'And a good thing too. Spandam was right about her' the Officer said bluntly

'What are you talking about?'

'Spandam had sent me a letter, warning me of her, and how she was become rebellious. He ordered me to have her killed if she openly went against the government orders' the Officer explained

That statement almost shook me as much as Maria's death. Even though it wasn't directed at me, I felt betrayed. I had grown to know everyone in the CP9,to me they were my family, and that meant Spandam as well, but he was the one who ordered her death. Things were finally clear to me then…

'Spandam has ordered that you live, he said you're far too valuable. Now do your job and kill those infidels' the Officer ordered.

Nukid got up face lowered. He wiped the tears from his face and then whispered 'Soru'

In a second Nukid appeared right next to the Officer. He turned to see Nukid who had stabbed the soldier who killed Maria with his finger into his neck

'Wh..what are you doing?' the Officer said in fear

'The right thing' Nukid then took out his finger and punched the officer right in the face. He then turned and ran into the many soldiers

All my life I believed in the Government……

Nukid punched in every direction sending many soldiers flying

I believed they knew best and if we followed them we would have peace…

Nukid kicked Rankyaku at a group of soldiers so hard their bodies were sliced in half

I wanted to play my part in creating peace, so I joined the CP9……

Nukid used Tekkai as two blades hit his body but did no effect

For a time, I had a happy life and I felt I would create peace……

Several bullets were sent flying at Nukid. Nukid dodged many but a few hit him but did not stop him

It took the death of my girlfriend to see the truth. Had I been wiser, more independent, this would not have happened……

Nukid knelt beside Maria's body, behind him the corpses of all one hundred dead soldiers. During the madness the evacuees had escaped and were long gone.

Nukid picked Maria body up and slowly walked away from the town. There was no way he was going to leave her body to rot with everyone else dead

I did not see the truth. That is my sin……

And so ends my back story. Stay tuned for the actual plot
