Timeskip: 9:47PM. After Leaving The Locker Room Area, Kurai Is Now Walking Down A Hallway In The Basement With Multiple Corpses Of The Gunmen She Encountered Scattered Around The Floor And Up Against The Walls, And She Stops Once She Hears A Voice And Footsteps.
Thug: Hey Daijiro!, What's Going On Ma-. The Thug Had Walked Around The Corner While Looking At All The Corpses Around And His Eyes Widened As He Spotted Kurai And Pulls And Aims His Gun At Her In Panic.
Thug: Oh Shit!. Kurai Unfazed Half-Raises Her Hands In A Harmless Manner, As Midoriko Walks Up From Behind Her And Stares At The Thug.
Midoriko: Where The Hell You Been?.
Thug: What?.
???: She's Talking To Me. The Thug Turns Around And Spots Elza Behind Him And After A Split Second, Elza Grabs And Stretches His Arm Before Stabbing Him In The Side With Her Knife And Digging It Deeper Into His Ribs Until He Fully Crumbles Onto The Floor And Loses Consciousness, To Which She Annoyedly Looks Up At Kurai And Midoriko.
Elza: I Leave You For Two Minutes.
Midoriko: Hey, Don't Look At Me, You Little Maniac, This Was Her Doing. Midoriko Points Towards Kurai Who Simply Rolls Her Eyes And Begins To Position The Thugs Body Differently As Midoriko Pulls Out Her Gun.
Midoriko: Give Me My Bullets.
Elza: I Tossed Them. Midoriko Stares At Her.
Elza: What?, You Said You'd Kill Him Otherwise If Kurai Hadn't.
Midoriko: I Told You To Hold Onto Them Elza. Kurai Stops Positioning The Thugs Body And Peaks Down The Next Hallway Towards The Basement Exit, As Midoriko Looks Down The Opposing Hallways, And Elza Starts To Position Another Gunman's Body Up Against The Wall.
Kurai: Where Have You Been Anyway?.
Elza: I Had To Make A Call, And You Get What We Need From Daijiro?. Kurai's Lack Of Response Makes The Answer Clear.
Elza: Ah, Your Kidding Me..
Midoriko: Let's Clean This Mess Up, Stop Admiring Work, Both Of You. Kurai Turns Around At Those Words From Midoriko.
Kurai: Hey, That's Cute And All, But I'm Disappointed Midoriko, I Mean, You Failed To Spot The "Nasty Intergang Drama" We're Creating Here.
Midoriko: I Don't Like Loose Ends, Let's Get Him Outta Here. Kurai Picks Up The Thugs Gun And Positions It In His Hand, Pointed At The Gunman Positioned Against The Wall.
Kurai: No, To Late, Bottom Of The Eighth, Chicago's Ahead, Games Almost Over, We Are Out Of Time. (Major American League Baseball Announced A Two-Game Series At The Tokyo Dome In 2025 Between Chicago And Los Angeles, I'm Using That As Leverage) Kurai Then Manipulates The Thugs Finger To Pull The Trigger On The Gun And Shoot The Gunman's Body, Before Kurai Lets Go And Pats The Thug On The Back.
Kurai: Nice Shot. And Once Kurai Stands Up, Elza Rubs Her Gloved Hands Together With A Grin.
Elza: Come On, Your Not Just A Littttlle Interested In My Phone Call?.
Midoriko: Alright Fine, Tell Us About Your Phone Call.
Elza: Glad You Asked, Okay, We Got A Bunch Of Dead Bodies Right?, Over 50,000 People Above Us, We Need A Distraction, I Called The Cops. Elza Gives A Wide Smile With Her Arms Crossed While Midoriko And Kurai Look At Her Deflatedly.
Midoriko: You Didn't..
Elza: Oh Yeah, True Story, So Cops Arrive, And Daijiro's Little Band Of Brothers Arrive And "Pow!-Pow!-Pow!-Pow!-Pow!".
Kurai: Elza, Tell Me Your Joking.
Elza: Oh No, I Called Them To, We Get A Little Occurrence At The End Of The Game, The Three Of Us Slip Away Undetected, You'll Appreciate The Plan Tomorrow.
Midoriko: And If One Of Us Already Having Heat From Interpol, Brings Them Here Aswell, What Then Elza?.
Elza: Then We Do What We Do. And They Hear Cops Down The Exitbound Hallway, Talking On The Radio About Armed Suspects.
Kurai: Great, Punctual Cops, I'm Gonna Handle These Guys, You Grab Daijiro, Get Him Outta Here.
Elza: Daijiro?, What Do We Look Like?, Cheuffers?.
Kurai: He's The Shooter, I'm Certain The Other Sisters Would Want A Piece Of Him. Kurai Then Walks Off Down The Hallway, As Midoriko Taps Elza On The Shoulder To Follow Her To The Locker Room Where Daijiro Is.
Midoriko: Come On. Elza Looks Back Down The Hallway Before Following Midoriko.
Elza: Ugh, Bitch. Kurai Is Now Very Close To The Cops.
Police Officer: Tokyo Metropolitan Police!, If Anyone Is In Here, Identity Yourself!. Kurai Goes Into Stealth Mode And Stealth Sprints Behind A Equipment Cart As Police Officers Survey Gunman Corpses.
Police Officer: Got A Corpse Here, Definitely A Tokuryū, Here's The Weapon, Gunshot Wounds.
Police Officer: I Got Another Corpse, Another Tokuryū.
Police Officer: Heh, Victimless Crime Then. Kurai Waits For Her Chance And The Moment The Cops Aren't Paying Attention, Stealth Sprints Past Them And Up To The Next Door, But Finds It Locked Upon Trying To Open And Kneels Behind The Railing.
Kurai: Control?.
SLT Analyst: (Comms) Hm, Looks Like It's Unlocked From The Other Side, Hold On.
Police Officer: (Comms) Central, We Have A Known Tokuryū In The VIP Lounge, We'll Moving On Him Momentarily. That's When Kurai Hears The Door Unlock, And She Slips Through The Doors And Kneels Behind A Counter In Time To See The Officers Go Through The Door To The VIP Lounge, With One Remaining And Looking In The Direction That He Would See Her And Unmoving.
Kurai: (Thoughts) He's Not Moving Unless I Give Him A Reason. Kurai Uses Her Instinct And Detects A Microwave Above Her And Spots Some Electronic Parts On The Countertop And Quickly Grabs Them Without The Cop Noticing And Begins To Craft A Sort Of Device As The Cop Looks Around, Not Even Noticing As She Longthrows A Device From Her Position And It Sticks To The Wall, And Kurai Reaches For A Button On Her Belt And Presses It, That's When The Device Starts Playing Music Loudly.
Kurai: Come On, Take The Bait. And As The Cop Walks Towards The Device, Kurai Stealth Sprints Past Him And Up The Stairs And Goes Through The Doors To The VIP Lounge And Quickly Gets Out Of Sight Behind The Bar And Spots That The Cops Are Already Interrogating The Known Tokuryū They Were Talking About Over Comms In Front Of Everyone, Thus Distracting Everyone, And This Allows Kurai Sneak Out Of The VIP Lounge With Ease, But Soon Encounters An Issue When She Spots Two Cops Blocking The Door To The Award Room, The Final Room Before The Sports Bar Where The Targeted Exit To The Tokyo Dome Is.
Kurai: Control, Police Are About To Lock This Whole Place Down, I'm Stuck Unless We Create A Major Distraction, I Wanna Cut The Power And Slip Past Them.
SLT Analyst: (Comms) To The Whole Arena?, The Aim Was To Keep This Op, Off Of Interpol's Radar, Causing A Blackout Would Lead Them Right To Us.
Kurai: Right Now, I Need To Get Out Of The Dome, Have You Found The Nearest Access Point?.
SLT Analyst: (Comms) In The Next Room, But We Need You To Find Someone With Security Clearance.
Kurai: Security Guard Should Have Access, With All These Cops, There's Gotta Be One Around. Kurai Peaks Into The Room Through The Glass Doors And Spots A Security Guard Talking To A Police Commissioner.
Kurai: Well, Ce'La'Vie.
SLT Analyst: Scan Him With Your Phone. Kurai Opens The Glass Door Slowly And Quietly In Order To Not Be Noticed By Anyone, And Pulls Out Her Phone And Uses The Camera To Scan The Guard For The System Key.
SLT Analyst: (Comms) You Listen In On Their Conversation While We Corrupt The System. And Kurai Begins Getting Audio Through From The Comms Of Both The Police Commissioner And The Security Guard.
Police Commissioner: (Comms) Hey, You Asahi?.
Security Guard: (Comms) Yeah I Am.
Police Commissioner: (Comms) You Got An Evacuation Plan Right?.
Security Guard: (Comms) Of Course We Do.
Police Commissioner: (Comms) Good, We Need To Get Moving On It.
Security Guard: (Comms) We're Not Gonna Evacuate 50,000 Plus People So We Can Play Cowboys And Indians, But You Got An Isolated Incident In The Basement, We Can Close The Basement, I Got No Problem With That.
Police Commissioner: (Comms) This Whole Place Is About To Fill Up With Tokyo PD, That's Gonna Cause A Panic, We Need To Shut The Game Down And Get People Outta Here Safely.
Security Guard: (Comms) Shut It Down?, I Can't Make That Call.
Police Commissioner: (Comms) Then Get Me Someone Who Can.
SLT Analyst: (Comms) Hope Your Ready For This. Kurai Then Hears A Bunch Of A Electrical Short Circuits In The Walls, Before All Of The Lights Go Out Simultaneously As A Few Arc Lights Are Destroyed With Electrical Explosions And Other Electronics Around The Stadium Short Out And/Or Explode As People In The Crowd Scream Out In Reaction.
Police Pilot: (Comms) This Is PH-2, Things Are Starting To Look Real Ugly From Up Here, Blackout Destroyed A Couple Arc Lights, We May Have Injured, We Got People Filing Onto The Field.
Police Dispatch: (Comms) PH-2, We're Coordinating Now With TEPCO Ops To Get The System Back Online, Bear With Us. And With The Lights Out, The Cops Are Now On High Alert, But It Makes Them Wander, Which Allows Kurai To Slip Through The Doors And Into The Award Room And She Sneaks Behind A Trophy Case And Waits For A Cop To Look The Other Direction, And Once He Does, She Stealth Sprints Down The Stairs And Towards The Door To The Utility Room And Quickly Closes It And Seals The Doors With A Baseball Bat, Before She Walks Through The Door And Into The Sports Bar And Calls Elza On Her Phone.
Kurai: Where Are You Elza?.
Elza: (Phone) What?, Gone, I'm Allergic To Cops, So's Daijiro, But Don't Worry, I Left You A Present, Friend Of A Friend, Deals In Pre-Owned Cars, Got A Real Beauty Waiting For You In The Garage Across The Street, Take It Or Leave It, I Don't Care, Gotta Go.
And A Bunch Of Sirens Blare Outside Of The Sports Bar About A Kilometer Away.
Woman: There's A Whole Bunch Of Cops Flying By Out There!.
Man: That's A Lot Of Sirens For A Blackout, Shit, Something Ain't Right. And Once Kurai Exits The Sports Bar And Is Finally Outside.
Interpol Agent: (Comms) We Have A Lead On The Previous Suspect!, At The Tokyo Dome!.
Interpol Agent: (Comms) Squad, Let's See If We Pick Her Off. And Kurai Immediately Starts Running At That Comms Message And Vaults Over The Railing And Lands With A Skill Roll As The Sound Of A Generator Powering Up Comes About And All The Lights Come Back On, Signaling The End Of The Blackout And She Runs Across The Street As She Hears The Sirens Blaring, Probably From Interpol And Into An Alleyway And Spots An Open Door That Leads To The Garage That Elza Talked About And Spots A Red Aston Martin Vantage.
SLT Analyst: (Comms) We Happy?.
Kurai: We Happy. And She Looks In The Usual Place Of The Left Rear Tire And Grabs The Keys From There And Hits The Switch On The Garage Door And Gets Into The Aston Martin And Starts The Engine Before Pulling Out Of The Garage And Onto The Street.
Interpol Agent: (Comms) This Brats Trying To Give Us The Slip. Kurai Begins To Take Multiple Different Streets, Keeping An Eye On Her Radar In Order To Avoid Any Interpol Units.
Interpol Agent: (Comms) Ah, Still No Sign Of Suspect, We'll Keep Looking. Kurai Then Starts To Take Sidestreets To Avoid Them, Adapting To The Situation Accordingly.
Interpol Agent: (Comms) Search For Her Down The Sidestreets. And Kurai Begins Pulling The Stealth Game Of Car Hiding Whenever She Needs To And After Five Minutes, She's Out Of Range.
Interpol Agent: (Comms) Ah, Squad, Suspect Is Gone At This Point, Head Back. And The Interpol Communication Channel Goes Dead.
Kurai: (Thoughts) We Needed This Bad, We Finally Got The Goddamn Triggerman, We Need To Push Through, But How?, I Pushed Daijiro Hard, Tortures Not Gonna Work On This Guy, So We Need To Get Inside His Head, That Fear Is Eating Him Up, I'll Tell Them To Give Him A Couple Of Days, I Bet He'll Start Reaching Out. And Kurai Sets A Route On Her Radar And Drives To One Of Many Of SLT's Safehouses, Spread Throughout The City, And Pulled Up To The Garage Door And Held Her Phone Out Of The Window Towards A Camera Overhead And Then, There Was A "Beep!" And The Garage Door Opened And Kurai Drove Inside The Safehouse As The Garage Door Closes And Went Upstairs And Past The Main Area, Where A Bar, Conference Area And Lounging Area Resides, There Are A Few Other SLT Lycoris Around Aswell, And They All Seem To Acknowledge Her As She Walks Past With Small Waves, To Which Kurai Gives Small Waves Back, But Doesn't Say Anything, And To Which She Catches A Glimpse Of How The SLT Lycoris Uniform Actually Is, She Had Sorta Forgotten How Different They Were In Some Aspects, For One, The Uniform Is Black, The Buttons On The Shoulders And The Front Of The Uniform Would Be Gold On DA Lycoris Uniforms, But On The SLT Uniform, They Are Silver, And Instead Of The Blue Ribbon Tie, The SLT Uniform Contains An Actual Black Suit Tie, The Shoes Wore By SLT Lycoris Are Black Instead Of Brown, And They Also Stretch More Past The Ankle And Contain Straps Instead Of Laces, Plus, SLT Lycoris Wear Black Arm Length Gloves And Black Tights, Plus, Instead Of Distinguishing Rank Through Different Uniform Colors Like The DA Does, SLT Distinguishs Rank Through Pins On The Left Chest Area Of The Uniform, There Are Three Ranks Just Like In DA, Like How In DA, 3rds Wear Beige Uniforms, 2nds Wear Navy Blue Uniforms And 1sts Wear Red Uniforms, The First SLT Rank Is "MP", They Are The SLT Pacifists, Resort To Non-Lethal Means, They Have A Gold Eagle Pin On Their Uniform, Then, There Are "Soldiers" (Kurai And Elza's Rank) They Are The Defense Line In Lethal Combat, They Take The Big Risks, They Have A Dual Pistols Pin On Their Uniform, And Finally, There's The "Dons" (Midoriko's Rank), They Are The Ones That Command The MP's And Soldiers In Missions, They Are The Guides, They Have Crown Torch Pin On Their Uniform, And Kurai Walks Into The Personal Quarters Hallway, And As She Uses Her Instinct Walking Down The Hallway, She Can Hear Other SLT Lycoris Inside, Some Are Already Resting, Others Are On The Computer Terminal Setups That Are Standard To Every Quarters At Every SLT Safehouse, Doing Some Sort Of Work Activities, And She Can Also Sometimes Hear Two SLT Lycoris In The Same Quarters A Few Times Performing The Activity That Can Only Be Appropriately Described As "Domination" (If You Catch My Drift~), And Kurai Finally Finds An Unoccupied Quarters, And Switches The Green Light To The Red Light On The Inside Switch, And Walks Over To The Computer Terminal And Inserts Her Phone Into The Containment Drive And The Terminal Loads Up And Confirms Kurais Identity Before Unlocking It's Systems, And Kurai Begins Tying Away And Plays The Audio Recording Of Daijiro.
"Recording Start"
Daijiro: These Guys.., I Heard Stories, They're Like Nothing You've Ever Seen Before..., You Gotta Walk Away From This!.
"Recording End" And Then, For The Next 20 Minutes, Kurai Types Away On The Terminal, Before She Breaches A Camera Inside Of Ms. Saori Shinohara's Place, To Check On Saori, Saori's Boyfriend, Chisato And Takina, And To Which She Just Finds Them Talking Among Each Other, And Upon Looking At Other Cameras Around The Area, There Are No Enemies Around, And So, Kurai Looks At The Time, It's 10:33PM, And So, Kurai Decides To Call It A Night And Rest Until The Heat From Interpol Dies Off, And Extracts Her Phone From The Containment Drive, To Which The Terminal Shuts Down, And Kurai Sits On The Bed And Sets Her Phone Alarm To 6:00AM, And Lays Down The Bed And Stares Up At The Ceiling For A Few Minutes, Before Falling Asleep.
