"FUCK!" Valentine smashed what remained of Alex's face with his free hand. His rage was accompanied by a powerful radiating magnetic field, repelling any loose metallic objects around him.
"She got away, all hands, return to the front of the restaurant, we have cleanup duty." Tobias spoke into the radio as he holstered The Twins and approached Valentine. "Let's go, we're done here."
"I will find her, and I will end her..." Valentine snarled as he fell into step with his father and returned to the rest of his family, where they were already being interrogated by the London police. Seras was nowhere to be seen, for good reason, having agreed beforehand to vanish back to Hellsing Manor - where they'd initially come from to do the mission - before the police became the wiser.
"Enter."
Sir Integra, seated at her desk with an unlit cigar in her teeth, glanced up to see Walter holding the door open for Tobias and Seras, who'd arranged the report on the Syndicate skirmish in the city.
"So, how'd it go?" Sir Integra asked, leaning back in her chair and staring her one remaining eye at Tobias in particular.
"It was all going according to plan until myself and Valentine captured Alex Wesker... She was using a remote prosthetic body, the whole meeting was done by proxy, she was never there."
"Seems she outsmarted you, Captain..." Sir Integra smiled slightly. "An... Ace up her sleeve, if you will."
"Valentine's quick action delayed her digital suicide within the body, and in those precious few seconds, we were able to isolate her relay signal's source." Tobias explained. "Source signal came from the German embassy here in London."
"Meaning she's using diplomatic immunity to her advantage. Clearly Germany is her country of origin, otherwise these details would be illogical." Sir Integra lit her cigar as she spoke. "Now then... Do you have any further plans here in England, Captain, or shall I arrange for the plane back to Los Angeles?"
"The plane, sadly. Our mission was a failure." Tobias lit his own cigar as well. "If Seras could continue to be your house representative, that would be most excellent, Sir Integra."
"Of course, I shall inform the airfield immediately." Sir Integra picked up her desk phone as Tobias gave his wave before turning to leave.
"I want the ship airborne within the week."
"Sir, that's not possible!"
Valentine put his feet up onto the table with two powerful thuds, crossing his arms and glaring at the holograms of his workers. "Six days..."
"Sir!"
"Five."
"Fuck... Sir, what happened in London that warranted this sudden rush to complete the ship?" The man in charge of the ship's weaponry asked, much more calmly than the rest.
"We have a major security breach, the Nightfall's design has been copied by a certain organization you're not privy to knowing. They've pissed me off, so get your doubts the fuck out of my project. Get my ship in the air by Friday, otherwise I will use the ship on you!"
"Understood... Mr. Darkwood."
"... And the dude just exploded, it was fuckin' badass!" Yuuki recounted the events to Stella and Motoko in person, having amassed six kills for herself with Lucky Lady. Rachael also had six kills, but Piers... He killed eleven men, and their dad had a rather surprising seven kills. All 30 of Alex Wesker's guards had been killed by the four of them, and of course, Alex took herself with Valentine's Colt.
"Seriously diggin' the new outfit babe!" Stella was caressing Yuuki's combat outfit with both hands from behind, her eyes twinkling mischievously.
Aside from her pouches and holsters, Yuuki's outfit consisted of a black tank top under a Kevlar armoured tactical corset laden with her mag pouches and several throwing knives. Her belt was covered with more ammo for her guns, but left her stomach slightly bared, hinting her tattoos on her lower back and hips - plus left room for her Kagune to form - and she likewise wore black cargo pants with Tarantula on her right leg and sturdy knee pads with sturdy combat boots, one of which had her kukri knife strapped to the side. On her head she wore a custom black BSAA beret - the standard one was green - with a fitted black half mask emblazoned with a partial rendition of her signature spider logo over the mouth and nose. Hers was red, and Rachael - who had the same outfit, mask and beret - had a blue one. The only difference between their outfits was their ammo's types and layouts.
"I was camping my tits off on a roof, didn't get to have as much fun as I'd have liked." Yuuki knew she was in for some sex, given the way Stella was feeling her up and Motoko was silently staring at them with a very shrewdly amused expression. "Calyptica's getting a bit dusty, I wish the Syndicate would grow a pair and bum rush us at some point. At least Neo-Umbrella kept things interesting..." She grumbled as Motoko suddenly stood up with a sly smirk on her face.
"Well, I can tell you need to relax, so shall we get started by peeling you out of all your gear?" Motoko teased, placing on hand on the side of Yuuki's masked face. "I'm sure Rachael wouldn't mind if we got first dibs... This time."
"Sherry kinda... Doesn't really care anymore about which twin she fucks..." Yuuki chuckled as she accepted the first of Motoko's teasing kisses on her neck.
"But we do." Stella didn't even hesitate before joining in with her usual mockery of a smile.
Back in London...
The real Alex Wesker sat at the head of a boardroom table, surrounded by her twelve most trusted subordinates within the entire Syndicate.
"Has the Family made it back home yet?" Wesker asked suddenly, breaking the silence among them since their mole in the London police reported they'd left from London International less than three hours after their assault on the meeting with the decoy for Ship 4's manpower.
"Their flight arrived at LAX two hours ago, ma'am. Local assets reported safe return home, with house guests, the Kusanagi's." Her second-in-command, Vigo Terasov, reported after taking a sip of his coffee. "Latest report was thirty minutes ago."
"Have we located their local assets involved in the assault?" Wesker glanced at him briefly as she spoke.
"Nyet, nothing so far. Police reports only the Family was present for the assault. The BSAA personnel seen on-site were from Tobias' own team in America."
"And the snipers?"
"His twin daughters, and one of the BSAA soldiers from his team." Vigo continued. "Only Family member not confirmed to have been present was Kaneki."
"Why is that?" Alex Wesker wondered aloud, then remembered that it was mid-August, so the man was preparing for the school year to begin again. "Oh, he's a teacher..."
"What do you plan to do, Mother? The destroyed your good remote body decoy, and got away scott free." Another member of her inner circle, her own son Zenith, leaned his arms on the boardroom table, staring at his mother with narrowed eyes.
"Send an assault team to the Nightfall's shipyard, tell them to bring heavy weaponry. Their target... Is the younger daughter, Sheva. She's known to be there on a regular basis." Alex Wesker glanced over at Zenith as she gave the order to the woman in charge of organizing such things, Carla Wong.
"Just confirming details, ma'am... The adopted daughter, Valentine's girlfriend?" Carla asked, knowing the very hefty risks of such an attack on the gender fluid boy's dearest loved one.
"Yeah, the Nigerian cyborg girl." Vigo nodded. "I know for a fact that she doesn't have a cyberbrain, just that arm of hers."
"Shall I attend the assault personally, ma'am?" Carla asked, rising to her feet.
"No. Organize from the shadows." Wesker shook her head. "Scheduling is up to you and your personnel."
"Yes ma'am." Carla left the boardroom, already considering the men she'd use for the attack on the girl.
"Oh, before you leave Carla..." Wesker called the Asian woman back, and she stood in the doorway. "Bring the girls from Section Four as a backup plan, just in case things don't go well."
"Understood, ma'am."
