Ch. 135: Operation D.I.N.O, first mission

One day, in the Russian countryside, a small secret laboratory, strong-arming the government for funding, was having a usual day of tests, creations, experiments, and so forth. After gaining the research and materials for recreating dinosaurs, they set to work on making a deal with the government to provide them with funding, and they'll provide them with bioweapons in the civil war. But that was a lie, as they had made the same deal with both sides and planned to backstab both sides before taking control of the whole country.

Just then, a small supply truck came near the front entrance and parked, waiting to be inspected before allowing entry. However, the moment the people doing the inspection crowded around the truck, it exploded into a burst of fire and metal, destroying the security stop and blowing off the defense gate clean from its hinges. Suddenly, a plethora of heavily armored trucks appeared out of thin air as if invisible.

The trucks drove into the open gate and mowed down any people dumb enough to try and shoot at them. When they all entered and parked, several soldiers flooded out with weapons at the ready. However, several dozens of small drones detached from the trucks and began to shoot the soldiers down. When the coast was clear, the upgraded Wild Geese ran out of the tracks and charged at the doors, where they placed explosive charges. They stood back, and the huge metal door was busted open and rushed in, gunning down anyone in their way.

The first to enter was Seras, and she ran like the wind with a huge gun at her side that she honestly didnt need as she tore through the heavily armed soldiers like they were made of tinfoil! Meanwhile, two scientists were watching the chaos unfold in the security room. One was older than the other and held a stern yet contemptuous expression, while the other was younger and much more nervous about seeing their base of operations go bust!

The older scientist sighed with stress and said coldly, "It seems as though we have been compromised."

"Should we salvage what we can?" the younger scientist asks, looking at the computer nearby.

The older scientist stopped him, shaking his head, and said definitively, "No, all is lost, I'm afraid. The best thing we can do is escape. Send out the twins to cause a distraction."

The young scientist nods and quickly types something into the nearby computer. When he finishes, he nods to the older one, and they both walk off to the exit door that leads to the emergency escape helicopter on the building's roof.

However, once the door opened fully, a man in a full gas mask stood there with his gun ready and said, "I'm afraid that won't be happening, mon ami."

Before either of them could react, Pip pulled the trigger five times, shooting both scientists. The younger one was hit three times in vital areas and died before he hit the ground, and the older one was hit twice in non-lethal areas, so he managed to cling to life long enough to speak as he lay on the floor.

Looking up at the masked man, the old scientist asked, "Who…are…you? What…do you want?"

The man took off his mask, revealing himself as Pip, and told the man while aiming his gun at his head, "Ze people, you stole the technology to make zes dinosaurs. They sent their calling card to you." Just before he pulled the trigger, Pip's phone rang, and he looked at the caller ID while saying, "Ah, speak of the devil. Allo?"

"Pip, how is the mission going?" Otto's voice asked from the other end.

Pip chuckled, casually waving his gun and telling him, "You are too high-strung, monsieur calamari; it's going without a hitch."

"Excellent to hear, and remember what I said?" Otto inquired.

At this point, the old scientist attempted to crawl away, but Pip stamped on his hand, and he looked up to see Pip as he answered, "Of course, of course. No loose ends." with that, he emptied the clip, making sure the man was dead.


About an hour had passed since Operation DINO took control of the laboratory, taking stock of its items and taking away only what they could. As the men meandered around or collected things, Pip and Seras took a break with one another on a large crate. Pip looked satisfied, but Seras looked bored.

As she flopped on her back with a groan, she complained, "Gotta say that was quite the boring first mission. Went even easier than I thought."

Pip smiled at her and stated, "Let us not look a gift horse in the mouth, Cherie. An easy first mission is a good first mission."

Seras pouted but replied, "Suppose you're right. More excitement will come later."

Just then, one of the men approached Pip and reported, "Sir, we've secured the computer and are downloading all the data. We've also accounted for several splinters, a dozen eggs, and one hatchling."

"Any adults?" Pip asked.

"A few." the man replied.

"You know za rules, kill them, and then burn the rest to the ground," Pip told him while lighting a cigarette.

"Yes, sir," the man replied, nodding as he ran off to give the orders.

As silence fell upon them once more, Pip took an extra-long draw from his smoke and threw the rest away while exhaling hard. Seras noticed this and inquired, "What's wrong, Pip?"

After looking like his head was clear, Pip told her, "Oh, nothing, just something one of these scientists said before. Something about twins?"

Suddenly, the building was rocked by an explosion and the sounds of many screams. Seras and Pip jumped from the box and ran to the commotion. They ran through the busted door and found a shocking sight! All of the Wild Geese were splayed on the ground in differing states of injury or consciousness.

Pip saw Gambit, who was barely awake and clinging to the wall, where he demanded, "What ze hell happened here?!"

Gambit coughed before telling him as he passed out, "We tried…to stop them. They're too…strong."

Suddenly, a red energy ball was thrown at Pip, but Seras managed to slap it away alongside something that moved fast. Then they saw the cause of all this chaos: two children around Izuku's age. One was a boy; the other was a girl. The girl was dressed in red with red flowing hair, and the boy was dressed in green with short silver hair. Both had dead looks in their eyes and didnt say a word.

Pip clicked his tongue and stated while pulling out his gun, "So ze are the twins. Sorry about this, kids, nothing personal." Before he could pull the trigger, the girl used her power to pull the man's arm and cause him to miss. Then the boy zoomed in, punched him in the gut several times, and snatched the gun before throwing it off to the side. Pip was shocked, and he could only say in observation while coughing, "I see they have some strange quirks."

Before Pip could get up and try to fight them again, Sera stopped him and said, "Step aside, Pip, and let a professional handle it."

Seras approached the twins, who continued to stare at her with their dead fish eyes. She smiled wryly at them and proclaimed, "So, one of you is super fast, and the other is super weird. You kids want to see how fast and weird I can be?"

She took an aggressive stance, and the boy zoomed off to blindside her, but Seras went after him. Even though he was far faster than Seras, she was far more agile and looked far more like a predator hunting its prey! The boy's dead fish eyes quickly became flush with fear. Instead of trying to attack her with quick blows, he ran away, and Seras gave chase! Eventually, she managed to juke him and sweep his legs. Just before he fell, Seras grabbed his leg and slammed him against the ground so hard he bounced!

She turned her attention to the girl, who began to throw energy projectiles one after the other, but Sera dodged or blocked them with her shadow arm. Eventually, she dashed up to the girl who tried and failed to hold her back with some form of telekinesis. Seras got right in her face, grinning with all her sharp teeth, and enveloped her in her shadow arm! Before the girl's eyes, a sea of black that cast darkness over shadows itself swirled and churned in an endless tide of infinite nothingness. Before her, a mass of eyes and teeth glared and snarled at her! The girl screamed in terror before falling to the ground, unmoving!

Sears gave a small huff of exhaustion as Pip came to her side and exclaimed in shock, "Oh mine god! Did you-?"

But Seras cut him off and shot back, "You were literally gonna shoot 'em, ya bellend. And no, they're just unconscious. Besides, I think this has something to do with it." Seras then lifted the girl and yanked something off the back of her neck. A small device with a few lights beeped silently before finally going dead. Pip checked the boy and saw the same device on him and, after pulling it off, noticed some needles that penetrated his head and also went dead. The two people looked at one another and knew this wasn't something they could leave behind. The strange technology or the kids.
