A/N : From now, I'm going to use third person POV more frequently than the first person POV...
Sorry if this taking so long, I was dissapointed first when I got my first review (which is an annoying and disturbing one) But it's all didn't matter, enjoy this chapter!
And for those who liked and supporting this story, review please! It really helps me a lot. :)
Alex's POV
After the yesterday's mission. We got another assignment to do, the job is to infiltrate the Emperor's personal castle at Paradise City and kill him personally. With Maxwell, Sophia, and Shadow Team (Alliance's special stealth team) sabotaging the electric and give us a chance to kill the Emperor.
Well, that means someone need to get inside and kill yhe Emperor. And everyone voted me and Lily to go undercover as a guest party tonight, and why did everyone chose me and Lily? Why didn't they just pick an elite spy to do it while we do the job sabotaging the electricity? Well, I'm not blaming everyone for that, at least I get a chance to kill that bastard for torturing me and made my left hand extremely wounded. Luckily it's quite healed already and I could held a two-handed weapon quite stable.
Now I was dressed in a suit and added an adjective to myself and Lily 'tall' and removed our rooster helmet so we will not going to be suspected being a scribblenaut or two thirteen years old kid trying to sneak inside a royal party. I also regrow my hair too. Moving on, I was waiting for Lily to change into a gown. Which was mom's old gown she never use again. Jeez, it's already 15 minutes and she hasn't finished yet. What took her so long?
Forget that, there she is! I turnes my to see- oh my... she's... beautiful... I shook my head, come on Alex, it's not the perfect time to think that. Well, I couldn't resist. She was quite beautiful with all that gown. She added an enchance mascara into her eyes, makeup, and since she was a tomboy type, she didn't wear those high heels shoes. Instead, she wear her normal shoes.
"How do I look?" She asked.
"Y-you're beautiful..." I replied with nervous tone.
"What?"
I shook my head, blushing a little. "I-I mean, you look pretty with that gown Lily."
"Oh... thank you." She replied, blushing and trying to cover her smile.
"C'mon, the other must've waiting for us."
...
"Sorry sir, this is a restricted VIP only." A security said to us.
I kicked his gut and slammed his head to my knee, instantly knocking him unconscious. Lily successfully knocked out the other security without any problem. Huh, Jennifer must had taught her previously. Two shadow team members quickly hid the bodies behind a dumpster.
"Quick, another VIP member will arrive at destination in less than 5 minutes. Mosquito, Rex, quick! Change to their uniform." I heard Captain Frank said.
"Roger." Mosquito and Rex replied simultaneously.
I entered the castle entrance with Lily trailing behind me, we went through the crowd of people unnoticed. Looks like they just thinking that we were a usual guest.
I heard a brief gunfire on my radio, after the gunfire died down. Maxwell's voice came into the radio.
"Alex, we're inside the castle underground power plant. We're luring the guards from the party into our location. Get ready to kill the Emperor in a few minutes." He informed. I saw a guard informing something to other guards, they walked out from the party as we entered the ball room.
"Alright, Alex out." I replied.
"Where's Maxwell and Sophia?" Lily asked.
"They're inside the castle underground power plant, within a few minutes, they'll cut the power out on my count." I whispered, "Just stick to the plan, stay calm, and act usual."
"Okay. Do you want to... dance while waiting for them?" Lily asked.
I was silent for a while, I never dance before. And now she's asking me for a dance?
"Sounds like a good idea." I answered.
Meanwhile...
"Okay, on my count." The Shadow Team leader Assault said as he readied his finger on the detonator, a breaching charge was placed on a steel door, with everyone readied themselves and their weapons.
"3, 2, 1... Breach!" Assault pressed the trigger, the door blew up and surprising the Empire soldiers inside. "Flashbang out!"
Two flashbang were thrown inside the room, when they explode, the Empire soldiers are stunned and blinded as the Shadow team took them out without any problem.
"Clear!" Sophia exclaimed.
"Good work. Archer, Toad. Take the generators apart, find the main one and be ready to cut it on Alex's count." Assault explained, "The rest of you clear the area from any Empire soldiers, I want a clean kill without alerting the whole castle."
"Yes sir!" Four members replied simultaneously. They headed out from the room to search for any Empire soldier heading to their location.
Maxwell turned on his radio, "Alex, we're on the castle power plant. Where are you?"
...
"We're inside the ball room, The Emperor is coming." Alex replied as the trumpets were blown. Signing the Emperor has come to give the guests his welcoming 'speech'.
"Alright, I heard the trumpets. The Emperor is coming in any second. We're ready to cut the power on your count." Maxwell replied, both of them shut their radio down to preveny any communication that could trigger any suspicion from the guests.
"Lily, I hate to say this but..." Alex paused.
"Why?" Lily asked.
"... The Emperor is coming and, we have to kill him now." Alex continued his sentence.
"Oh, alright." Lily replied. The two entered the crowd of guests and searching for perfect spot to shoot.
...
"Archer, Toad. Have you find the main generator?" Assault asked, Archer and Toad was taking apart the last generator from the 7 generator.
"We've found it!" Archer exclaimed.
"Good, ready the pliers on the main wire. Get ready to cut it on Alex's count." Assault told them.
"Yes sir." Toad replied flatly, the two began searching for the wire.
...
Alex manage to found a spot next to a table and the stairs that leads to the Emperor's throne room. He stood there with Lily beside him. After the trumpets sound died down, the Emperor came with two royal bodyguards. Their dress are similar to a regular Empire soldier. But their uniforms are in red, a short cape on their backs, their helmet only covered their mouth and hair, and they were equipped with long swords sheathed on their belt and advanced looking assault rifles.
"Attention my citizen, in an order to celebrate my 50th birthday. I held this party to-"
"Alex! We're ready to cut the power. Is the Emperor there?" Maxwell asked from the radio.
"Yeah, he's here." Alex answered, "I'm ready to kill him now. Prepare to cut the power at my count."
"Roger." Maxwell replied. He turned the radio off shortly after that.
...
"Prepare to cut the power!" Maxwell said to Archer and Toad. The two readied the pliers on a wire.
...
"... This may not my best birthday. You may asking why. As you can see, the Alliance has made another move. And they were unbeatable in the last few battles and my elite soldiers suffered defeat in many locations. Those pests think they could overthrown my Empire-"
"Alex! We're ready! Just give us your cue and we'll cut the power!" Maxwell's voice crackled on Alex's radio.
"Alright, I'll give my cue shortly." Alex replied. Pulling out his pistol from the belt hidden by his suit ans hid it on his back. His other free hand pulled out a night vision goggles from his pocket and did the same thing to it.
"Okay, stand by."
Meanwhile with Frank, Gary, Dunne, Felix, and Jennifer...
A guard was patrolling in a dark hallway, everything is barely visible in this condition. Well, he's not gonna complain to the Emperor for not giving him and the others night vision goggles. All the electrical powers are being used at the ball room and some other hallways that closer to the party. And probably the Emperor is too busy to think about that.
He heard footsteps from distance, he turned his head and scanned his surroundings. Nothing. Maybe it's just another guard patrolling, it's dark and everything is barely visible anyway. He thought to himself, but he got a bad feeling about that. He continied his patrol and walked away from his previous location. A sound was heard. But he didn't really care about it, only for a fresh bullet hole on his head to appear. He fell to his knees numbly and fell to the ground. Dead.
"Nice one Jennifer. Gonna have to promote you to First Lieutenant some time later." Frank admired.
"Thank you sir." Jennifer replied.
"Where's Kyle and Harris?" Gary asked.
"They are disguising themselves as one of the body guards." Felix answered, "Hopefully Harris didn't blew up his cover this time."
"Huh, that kid still needs a lot to learn." Frank commented.
Jennifer decided to change the subject, "Alex, you there?" She said to her radio.
"I'm here, ready to kill the Emperor. Just breach the floor after I killed him." Alex reaponded
"Roger." Jennifer turned to the mens, "Alright, breach the floor, help Alex and Lily clear out the guards, and escape with them. Is that clear?"
"Yes ma'm." The mens replied.
"Wait a minute, is it you or me giving orders?" Frank asked.
"I'm your second in command Captain. I have rights to orders and telling plans sir." Jennifer answered.
"Alright, whatever."
...
"Alright Maxwell, you ready?" Alex asked Maxwell through the radio.
"I'm ready when you are Alex." Maxwell replied.
"Good, cut the power on my count." Alex said.
...
Jennifer, Frank, Gary, Felix, and Dunne are forming a belt of C4 into a large circle where they will breach it and kill every guard they see.
"I can't believe we're breaching floors now." Felix muttered.
"Well, now we're doing it Felix." Frank replied. "Now put your night vision goggles on first."
...
"Ready Maxwell? Cut the power..." Alex paused, looking at the Emperor again. "Now!"
The lights suddenly out, turning the room into a pitch blacm where you can only see with flashlight or night vision goggles. Alex and Lily put the goggles on, allowing them to see the dark surrounding. The guests were either confused or complaining about the light.
"Citizens of Paradise City, I am very sorry about this, because this never happened before." The Emperor apologized.
Alex pulled out his pistol, "This time, you're going down bastard." He said quitely. He aimed at the Emperor's head, and he pulled the trigger.
BAM!
...
"Hear that? It's the sign!" Frank said to the others, "Breaching now!" He pushed the button, detonating the C4 and making the floor under them fell to the bottom. Everything went to slow motion as the floor fell to the first floor. Guests were running for their safety, the Emperor's dead body starting to bleed and forming a small puddle under himself, the royal guards were stumbled over the stairs and Alex and Lily flipped over a table for cover. The group easily bringing down the royal guards. The rubble of floor they were standing on landed next to the stairs. With the group landed safely on the ground.
"Nice work team." Frank said to the group.
"So, now what do we do Captain?" Alex asked from below.
"Find an exit with separate ways and confuse the soldiers, with that we could escape safely."
