In South Border Gate, the border patrol as stationed on the roof. Guarding the area. "Hey." The Field Agent says to the Operative and hands him the L118A1"There is a Beowolf in a distance. You think you can take the shot?"Operative smiles and says "You bet!" He took the rifle and put it on the bipod, held his breath and took the shot, shattering it's skull. The Field Agent says "Nice shot" and takes the replies with "Thanks." Then sighs and continues "It's nice in here. A fresh, tropical air… No more wasteland and no more radiation to fear off." Field Agent smirks. "Agreed. There is a problem with Grimm though, but once they are off the land we can take a vacation in a nearby town."

"Speaking of taking vacations…" Both O and FA turn around to find a man in a green military uniform and blue beret. He wears a patch on a shoulder that reads 'AMCS' "Epsilon says that me and the rest of a team made of 10 mercenaries are going to be visiting Kuo Kuana soon, to establish communications and maybe open trades." Operative says "Aw man! Why does the mercs get the most exiting missions while we have to sit ducks in this damn border?" Field Agent says "Hehe, relax, maybe Site Ccontrol officer will allow us to patrol outside later. And I'll make sure to tag you along." The Operative smiles "Thanks, Jeff" The merc leans on the wall and pulls out a canteen, then takes a sip.

"Uh, guys?" The Junior Operative below, looking ahead with the binoculars and asks "Is it me or there is a large group of people approaching in a distance. They are all wearing white masks… Are those bunny ears?" As he said the last sentence, the Junior Operative had took the shot in the shoulder, another Junior Operative behind him grabbed the wounded comrade and took him deeper into the walls. At the same time, the rocket is shot, and it hits the gate there is no effect on it. Jeff screams "We are being attacked, weapons hot!" The other operatives and the merc alongside them fire back on the group, the merc and Jeff are using sniper rifles to fire on enemy snipers. During the fight, a SC approaches from behind and says "I've called Masked Defence Force! Hold tight, men!" The merc reloads his sniper rifle and holsters it, then approaches Jeff and says "Cover me, I'm going down!" The Jeff gives him a thumbs up. The merc straps himself in a rope carbine, then gets down without issues.

He runs towards the large tree and pulls out AKM from the back. Then he engages the enemy raiders. They didn't expect an attack from the back, and because of this, 4 raiders were shot before they turned their attention to the merc. The merc retreated closer to the wall, and was covered by the operatives' fire. He rushed into the cliff, it blocked the view of the wall, but it did provide cover. Merc reloaded his AKM and couched, only to jump back to avoid getting hit by an axe. It was a man than has big mouse-like ears, and that same white mask. The merc fired a burst... only to find that it had no visible effect on the only, just a little red light surrounding him flashed out when the bullets hit him.

In the second, he kicked down the merc, and raised his axe. "Die, human!" The merc knew he was going to die, but there was he accepted his death, knowing that his homeland and there is pretty much nothing that was holding him back. He let peace take over him, he took a last glance towards the white masked man, and felt the pain in his chest… Only for the merc body to be surrounded by green light that blocked the strike.

The enemy was shocked and said "What!?" before a green beam shot through his chest. He fell down, revealing an MDF operative. He approached the merc and extended his hand, which the merc accepted his help and got up. The merc saw MDF gunning down the remaining raiders, and after a few minutes they decided to retreat. "You alright?", the operative asked to which the merc replied "I'm fine." He breaths out a sigh of relieve, and goes back to the gate.

Soon enough, the MDF returns with some of the raiders they captured alive and the gates opens. Merc saw ARD taking the prisoners, assuming they would be questioned later. But as soon as he entered the elevator door leading to the city, he made an encounter with man in black. He said "Hello, Bert Thresent. Please come in, we need to talk." Bert figured out that this man is AIA agent, and he nods. He entered the elevator, and it stops in the middle. The agent leads him to interrogation room, they take a seat on the chair and says "To be honest, I didn't expect that out of all people to unlock Aura… Has to me a member of AMCS." Bert makes a confused face, and things about fantasy stuff, cause it might be related to what this agent is saying. "The Aura users are the backbone in this world, Bert. They study it in other to get stronger, in the academies… I'm here to give you a mission. Though, you don't have right to refuse it."

"Go on." "The team of huntswomen was been send here. I want you excursion and make a good impression and when you see the right moment, say that you have Aura. The academies are currently only option to study Aura users, so that's why we need you to carry out that mission. You need to study and improve your Aura, Bert. Maybe even unlock a Semblance" "Alright, but I would need a better weapon before this."

"Which is?"

"DEW-3C."
