Moving throughout the Japanese territory, Jaune stared outside the window, watching the crowds of people moving from place to place, wondering how simple their lives must be even though under the regime of the Japanese empire with puppet officials watching their every move. A while passed by as the interior of the limousine grew quiet with the Obergruppenfuher falling asleep, quietly snoring as not to be heard by Jaune and Sofia. Suddenly the limousine stopped, breaking the silent tension inside. The general turned his head around, catching the driver's attention.
"Hey! Why did we stop?" Angerly said the general as he sounded grumpy, looking at the man annoyed and confused. The driver moved his helmet a bit, and calmly said, "The armor in front of us is experiencing some engine issues. Sorry for that sir." Pleasing the general's concerns as the both of them broke eyesight and started to wait.
The general attempted to go back to sleep with his arms crossed, but found no success in his attempt. Jaune simply continued to stare outside the window, holding his chin with his left arm and his mind put to ease as he also started to fall asleep. A while passed and the engine of the armor in front of them was quickly fixed until, an RPG shot the car, killing the passengers inside with the debris flying at every direction, hitting nearby pedestrians and immediately waking up the general and Jaune.
The three took out their pistols and quickly exited the car, including the driver, taking cover behind the doors of the limo. They received heavy fire from assailants wearing boiler suits using Thompson submachine guns, the bullets had a hard time piercing through the doors thanks to it being bullet proof. Two of them appeared to be faunus while three of them were humans. The armor behind the limo retaliated by shooting them with its machine gun turret killing a few who were out in the open, forcing the rest to take cover behind the destroyed armor or nearby cars. As they were pinned, Jaune took this advantage to quietly flank their rear, concealing himself while the enemy was distracted by the turret. Nearing the destroyed armor, Jaune quickly changed cover and shot two assailants who were near him.
Grabbing a Thompson from a nearby dead body, Jaune began to shoot three assailants who took cover behind nearby cars. Two fell dead on the ground while one was wounded in the arm, screaming in unbearable pain as he slowly crawled in agony, looking for a nearby weapon to defend himself from the now nearby Jaune who was walking up towards him. An M1911 pistol could be seen nearby as the attacker attempted to crawl towards it, and retrieve the weapon only to be stopped by Jaune as he stepped on the pistol while aiming his Thompson towards his head.
"Who sent you to attack us, and how did you know where we were?" Jaune authoritatively asked the man, appearing as an angel of death towards the weakened, bleeding man who stared at him without a hint of fear. The man coughed up blood before mockingly stating, "What makes you think I'll answer your question." Agitating Jaune as he prepared his trigger finger, ready to kill.
"How about I learn who you are and kill your loved ones?" Threatened Jaune as the man appeared surprised by his question. He then laughed with blood leaking out of his mouth, catching Jaune by surprise as he spat blood at the ground, defying his expectations. The man replied with a smug on his face while looking at Jaune with no regrets.
"What loved ones? The ones killed by your Reich? I have no one... and I don't give a damn if I die, at least I'll be able to see my family again." Jaune simply looked at the man with pity, lowering his Thompson and replaced his trigger finger back to its original position. He felt a sense of remorse for the man, although he did not show it.
He simply walked away from the man, picking up the M1911 while feeling a sense of remorse, leaving him to bleed out to death in pain as he held the looted Thompson in his hands and the M1911 in his pocket, placing his finger away from the trigger. Walking towards the Obergruppenfuher, he simply patted Jaune on the back using his right hand, and responding with a smile on his cheerful face while Sofia admirably looked at him with both of her hands clenched, up in the air while her eyes filled with stars.
As time passed on, Japanese authorities arrived at the scene of the attack with some cleaning up the mess the attack caused. Some attached the destroyed armor to a towing truck, while others went to injured pedestrians, tending to their injuries before the ambulance arrived to take them to a nearby hospital. Jaune tiredly sighed as he was about to enter the limousine to catch some sleep, until he was interrupted by a Japanese man in his late twenties, wearing a tuxedo with a fedora.
"Gruppenfuher, my name is Inspector Okami. May I ask what happened here?" He curiously asked towards the exhausted Jaune in a thick, Japanese accent. Jaune simply begged for rest in his mind as he exhaustedly sighed in a tired tone, and slowly spoke as he crossed his arms while looking towards the inspector, leaning against the limo.
"We were simply on our way from a diplomatic meeting from Yume until, we were attacked by unknown assailants, and that's pretty much it." Clearly said Jaune, as he stared at the inspector who took out a notepad and started to write on it. Finished writing, the inspector prepared to ask another question as he held his notepad on his left hand and a pencil with an eraser on top on his right hand.
"Do you know who sent these assailants? And were you able to figure out who ordered this attack?" The inspector closely observed Jaune as he finished his sentence. He responded with a simple nod, moving sideways, then tiredly looked down in complete, mental exhaustion. "I see, well thank you for your time Gruppenfuher." Politely said the man in a calm manner, he then left Jaune behind to leave him to his rest, but not before bowing down in respect for the young SS officer.
Jaune then entered the limousine, seeing his fellow assistant and the general occupied by Japanese reporters, he then took a nap. Resting his now mentally exhausted mind, and his worn-out body as the day went on.
