Chapter 5

Title: Living Dangerously

[Author's notes: This basically the longest chapter I ever wrote]

When everyone left from the building late this evening, the secretary was checking things out from her desk before processing to the elevator. She presses the one of the buttons to close the door and press the other one to taking her to the top floor.

While the elevator heading up, she push the emergency button forcing it make a sudden stop. She is starting to change into skin-tight bodysuit with her weapon sai well-hidden in her boots. She is looking around seeing any security guards within the vicinity of the hallway.

She walks through the lobby about few minutes in before her wristwatch start to blinking. “Hello this Xenia,” She groans at the codename Midori has pick out for her. “I’m now on the top floor searching for the files on Project Darkness.”

“I want to know about John Smith’s plans and get a copy of them tonight, Golden Angel out.” Ahn shut off the wrist communicator and continue with the search. After about ten minutes of seeking through of the desks to find any information regarding the secret project.

Saeko was deciding to take a break from studying the vampire cells. “I need rest my eyes a bit, I’m not young I used to but medical breakthrough is worth it all,” Saeko muse. Her thoughts were interrupting when she heard something behind her in few feet away from her. Saeko starts to investigate the source of the noise.

Ahn Lu was continue to check the draws of each desk until she found a sliver round disk and slip it into a black bag that she was carrying on her.

Ahn about exit from the lobby, she senses someone within her range taking the sai out. Ahn is stealthy walking toward the person without making any sound and grabbing them.

“I don’t want to hurt you but please tell your name and I will let you go free,” Ahn spoke calmly but threaten.

“My name is Saeko Kuga and I just a scientist please don’t hurt me. I have an older daughter and I am only working on finding cures that benefit mankind,” Saeko spoke in English out of fear.

“You’re the only one up here in this floor?” Ahn is asking Saeko in English.

“I-I do not know about anything most the time. I am only taking breaks a few hours time,” Saeko values her own life and told Ahn what she knew.

Ahn relax but stay vigilant in case any guards coming around here. She’s scanning the perimeter of the office to listening for any suspicious sounds. “Ms. Kuga go back to the room you came from we have company,”

Saeko was scare and Ahn Lu is shoving her out of the way when she saw a security guard performing his usual nightly rounds. Ahn dive behind of the desks to avoid being seen to remain hidden from his sights.

Saeko is starting to panic when the guard spotted her. “Miss what you’re doing here by yourself at this time of night.” He asks Saeko.

“I left my room for some fresh air after staying the room all day without some excise to relived unwanted stress and conducting experiments constantly everyday, young man,” The guard was briefly consider for a moment dismissing her story altogether then he decides to accept her excuse.

“Be careful next time ma’am. Lately there have been break-ins around the area that the police are investigating,”

“Thank you for the warning I will be caution next time,” Saeko breathe a sigh of relief.

“Take care and oh by the way it very danger being in an office building this time at night,”

After the guard, Ahn Lu emerges from behind the desk walk toward Saeko. “Miss Saeko I advice you to forget anything tonight and including me just pretend I doesn’t exist okay?” Saeko was shaking her head in affirmative out of fear. “Good and have a pleasant evening,”

When Ahn Lu head toward the elevator, she have an uneasy feeling something note quite right. She was decide to go with her gut feeling and explore within the building. She went couple floors down and excise some caution.

The hallway was very dark with the lights blinking in and out continuously; Ahn Lu put some hi-tech glasses order using night vision. She walked a few feet from the elevator glancing around and checking anything suspicious. Ahn Lu is relaxed about a moment before going back on guard.

Everything seems normal to her then she heard something to her right. Ahn Lu was pulling out her weapon and opening the door to peek inside. The first thing she saw was horrifying; there few pale-looking if you can call human chain to the wall with various tubes attach all over their bodies with a computer monitor. Ahn Lu was starting to feel nausea after witnessing the sickening site.

“I can’t believe it Searrs going such lengths to extract some blood from humans!” Ahn Lu was musing how Searrs performing inhuman experiments. She needs to steel her resolve to continue by closing the door and checking on other rooms for evidences of Searrs’ atrocities. She search room after room finding more horror and disgusting each passing moment where the victims either look beyond recognizable or looking mostly dead than alive.

Ahn turn on her wrist communicator to talk. “This is Xenia I found an important piece to aid our cause but I saw some things making me questioning humanity, showing the depths how will Searrs can go far to archive their goals. There were people or consider what left of them having tubes and IV sticking over their bodies and hooking up to machines,” Ahn needs to control her emotions. “I’m sorry being scare and disgust by Searrs Foundation,”

“It understandable Ahn that Searrs use a sort method to further their plans and the reason John Smith must be stop at all cost. He perverted my father’s intention of researching effects of regeneration cells and to using for his own agenda that why we have prevent him to reaching his goal,”

“Thanks Ms. Searrs that one of the reasons I join you for your cause, Xenia over and out.” Ahn Lu shut off her wrist communicator. She resume her search, unknowingly trigger a silent alarm when touch an invisible laser.

In main security room a couple of security guards looking bored while watching the monitors and burning the midnight oil. The older one was checking one of the monitors on lower right hand side. At first he didn’t found everything unusual it just another floor to him. The younger guard next to him looks very tired and hearing the silent alarm woke from his stupor and spotted Ahn Lu when she past one of the cameras in the hallway.

“Senpai there a woman on the eleventh floor wandering around for no apparent reason sir,” The young guard trying get the older one’s attention by shaking him thus causing to spill his coffee.

“Minami-san what do you want!” The other guard sound irritably and the younger guard was pointing at the monitor. The older guard’s eyes widen. “Our employer will fired us if we can’t act quickly and stopping her,” They left from the monitor room.

Somewhere outside of the building a grey van park across from a European-style restaurant. There some people inside of the van as if they were in a stakeout. “Rosalie please quit elbowing me, you blonde-haired bimbo!” Complain one of the occupants. “This van is too crowded for me and your information you’re in my personal space,”

Mahya want to kill the bickering girls but as the second-in-commend of the operation she was in charge to looking out for any suspicious activities and Searrs private little army. “Ahn is late leaving from the building and I’m getting worry for her. What if they had capture her?”

Mahya was watching through the window finding any signs of Ahn. Then she hears a helicopter overhead and seeing land on top of the building.

“Guys we have company so be prepare for anything also I think Ahn is in trouble since Searrs sent their personal welcoming committee,” Both Rosalie and Sakura stop fighting.

“Oh I see going to be fun and I haven’t used my whip for while,” Said Rosalie with hint of ecstasy.

“Since I getting paid for fighting plus I am restless and aggravate so busting a few skulls won’t hurt,” Said Sakura enthusiastically. They left and headed toward the building.

Midori is sleeping peacefully in her truck dub Gattenou and having a dream that involving Youko, can of cheese whiz and a smile. Before got to the best part, her communicator interrupted her dream.

“Sailor Moon this Kamen Rider with Sailor Venus and Yam head we’re headed to the office building to find Ahn and it seems they cut off the electricity in the area to prevent any escapes and outside interference,” Mahya really hate those codenames that Midori gave them.

“Kamen Rider what the situation? Please tell me what happened to Xena? I need a status update,” Midori was starting to worry for her friend and occasion drinking partner. “Kamen Rider just stay there and don’t do anything foolish you understand?” Spoke Midori in Leader Mode. She is starting her truck her and having her labrys by her side.

Mahya realize they’ll probably run reckless into a trap but Ahn was in danger. “We need a plan until Midori arrive here. We’re outnumber and they have some hi-tech equipment at their disposal plus Midori don’t want us to engage the enemy,”

“I want to kick some ass tonight and Ms. I’m seventeen years old won’t let us our hands getting dirty,” Sakura starts to complain loudly.

“That direct order from her so please don’t disregard that or suffer the consequence you little brat,” In rare moment of anger, Mahya was shouting at Sakura. In first time of her life Sakura was afraid.

Rosalie was laughing at the scene and Sakura’s misfortune. Whatever tension left was evaporating and nervousness of everything dispel.

Ahn on her way out until she heard some footsteps behind her and searching a way to conceal herself. She hid around the corner and saw two security guards with flashlights searching for her. Ahn curse her luck she didn’t counting for triggering a silent alarm and now she probably have to kill the guards to avoid being discovered.

When Midori arrives at the site of the building she was devising a plan with the others. “Since we need to know about the enemy’s strength and their numbers before we could act. Searrs is a very dangerous group with a mercenary army and deep pockets to pay off everyone,” Mahya somberly spoke.

Sakura was impatiently fidgeting and starting to get annoyed with all the talking and planning. Rosalie was noticing this and decides to irritate Japanese girl.

“Well since this a mission I willingly making a bet with you who will kill the most, the loser have be the winner’s maid for a week you’re interest?” Rosalie smirks cocky hoping to provoke her rival.

Sakura’s ears perk up to hearing this. “So Miss little busty blonde want to humiliating herself uh?” Sakura was taunting her.

“Oh you do you’re accept this little challenge of mine? You look very good in fillies and stockings,” Rosalie was grinning confidently.

“I bet you going be a hit at the maid cafes with your oversized boobs of yours.” Sakura was smiling. The two girls radiant with malice toward the other…

Saeko currently lay in the makeshift bed resting her eyes after meeting Ahn. As a scientist finding cures and conducting experiments to order help the medicinal community. Even she consider herself a very rational person Saeko have foreboding sense of doom within pit of her stomach.

Saeko decided to leave from her room and venture into darkness. In couple of steps she saw about four soldiers moving around with standard military weapons and some unidentified equipment. Saeko withheld a scream avoiding unnecessary attention and quietly tip-toe away from them but unfortunely for her she tripped over the leg of the desk next to her. One of the soldiers heard the commotion and found Saeko on the floor.

“Ma’am please tells me your name and who you work for,” The young look soldier spoke through English. Saeko put both her arms up in surrender.

Midori, Mahya, Rosalie and Sakura sneak through the entrance without being spotted. Mahya was estimating on how many soldiers in vicinity of the high-rise.

“Midori is about between twenty and thirty inside and outside the building also we don’t know which floors they’re on,” Midori is start smiling at the probabilities.

“Think as the heroes fighting the big bad and saving the world from evil.” Mahya, Rosalie, and Sakura thinking Midori was crazy but they used to the eccentric leader anime inspire speeches.

“Thank you the inspiration I need to kick butt,” Sakura sarcastically comment. Midori got into her face and smile cheerfully.

“Thanks for the compliment, Sakura-chan,” Sakura felt a dangerous aura from Midori and decide not to piss off the red-hair woman. The foursome start headed toward the elevator.

Ahn using stealth evade her would be capturers after being spotted and now on the fifth floor with six soldiers chasing her. Everything went downhill for her after the two guards found her through sheer dumb luck and witnessing Saeko get capture by Searrs. Ahn was deciding to assist the woman with her escape and chaos causing the guards being injury.

At course she was being hunted by Searrs to silence anyone uncovering their little experiments to the world. Ahn went around the corner and found couple more of them with walky-talkies and communication devices. “They never give until I die well I going getting the satisfaction for them trying,” Ahn thought a canny plan.

She took a sharp turn to her left begging the Searrs soldiers to following her until she hit a dead end. “Come to me pretend I’m hapless,”

“State your name and we probably be merciful.” Said the soldier in threaten tone.

“Ahn Lu and remember it,” While they prepare to take her back to their headquarter and having a gun on her back Ahn is smiling and hitting the man on his nose with a elbow causing him to stagger and dropping his weapon.

She drops on the floor and using a sweep knockdown her capturer. The others were too stunned to reaction. Ahn found this advantageous for her as they recover from initial shock and regaining their poise. Ahn hitting the first one with a snap kick causing his neck be broken. The remaining four avenge their fallen comrade to attack in earnest as Ahn nimbly dodging the bullets as look she was in the Matrix movies.

Midori, Sakura, Mahya, and Rosalie were in elevator on way to save Ahn until the elevator suddenly stop. “I guess they cut off the power in the building order to stop us,” Mahya observe the situation.

“Well seems they’re intend to stop us but never fear justice will prevail at the end always,” Midori is passionately quoting as she was in a shounen action show.

“Why, why that woman thinks she some overgrown magical girl,” Sakura was probably thought Midori was beyond crazy. Rosalie was looking at Midori funny and agreeing with purple-haired teenager. Mahya was sighing and decide to tell them a plan she had thought of in her head.

“Somebody need climb from the elevator and find some way to opening it for us,” They are staring at Sakura and Rosalie was smiling evilly.

“Sakura you’re small enough to climb through the elevator shaft and oh by the way don’t let your backside getting hit where the sun doesn’t shine,” Rosalie was starting making kissing noises at her rival.

“I go to kill you-“Sakura was held back by Mahya before she does anything. “Please stop you two we’re on a mission you could at least acting civilized once in your lives,” Midori is sternly chastise Sakura for her behavior. She starts to grump about this plan, Rosalie shoving her upward and ignoring string of curses from Sakura.

She slowly was climbing on the cords about a hundred feet until she felt they moving and saw the elevator coming down in the opposite direction. “It got be Searrs little private army looking for us,” Sakura thought while smiling cocky.

After climbing about five floors up she was found the emergency exit and slip through undetected. As Sakura walk she spotted couple of Searrs soldiers strolling in the corridor with their weapons and walky-talkies with them. “Geez only couple of easy targets that very insulting toward my ego,” Sakura decides to play the lost innocent little girl act.

“Please don’t shoot! I am lost and I can’t find my father he’s working here tonight,” She spoke with perfect English.

They shine their flashlights on her and looking her suspiciously. They were approaching Sakura and the tall and lanky one was on the walky-talky calling for back-up.

“Explain to me how you ending up by yourself in the building late at night?” The soldier was questioning her.

“My father working as a janitor at the night shift and he doesn’t want leave me alone at our place by myself so he taking me at his work and I was wandering off because I was bored,” She explains to them.

They found her story inconsistent. “We don’t believe you since who let their children walking around a close building late at night,”

“Come now miss we won’t hurt we just to interrogate you in one of our trucks and putting you in jail. The two soldiers were approaching Sakura, she shrugged and decides go with plan B.

She took out her yo-yo and attacking the first man by swinging it in an arc hitting him so hard his bone from his nose ending piercing his brain. The second soldier was realizing the situation and start firing order making cover for him.

Sakura was dodging and weaving to avoid being shot at. In mad scramble Sakura desperately looking for opening to counterattack. Even with being highly trained mercenary the soldier can’t hit Sakura but she making herself a moving target.

They play game of cat and mouse where Sakura got her yo-yo even she isn’t a match someone with a gun. Sakura thought a crazy gambit maybe suicidal it the only chance to her survive this.

She ran the other side counter clockwise making harder the soldier hitting her. With hope and prayer she jump from the wall and land on his back and Sakura was strangling him.

He was grasping for air as he struggling to throw Sakura off of him. She hangs on tighter and fought harder not be throw off. The large soldier was thrashing Sakura with his fists try to make her let go then she shift her own weight down brought to his knees before finish his life by breaking his neck. “He isn’t a pushover as I thought,” Sakura was breathing hard and catching her breath.

Mahya, Midori, and Rosalie while stuck in the elevator were thinking ways to escape. “Seems they cut off the power within the place to stop anybody invading their business,” Mahya comment.

Midori was forming an idea in her head and decide to tell the others about it. “Hey guys maybe a little risky and probably killing us in proceed but we need to save Ahn at all cost,” Midori was sound worry. “The information is very crucial to Alyssa and Ahn has it.” She closed her eyes and continues. “Searrs outmanned and outgunned us and we never see tomorrow thinking as our last stand.” Midori stared at both Mahya and Rosalie. “Anyway we have to climb from the elevator and finding some safe way get around them but inevitable we facing some resistance,”

Mahya is nodding understandingly and Rosalie was surprise by Midori’s seriousness and revised her opinion of the woman.

“Midori we figure out a way avoiding unnecessary battles but you’re right they going to kill us not matter what.”

“Right boss Searrs willing terminate anyone pose a threat and lengths to hush everybody,” Rosalie sound both serious and respectful toward Midori. Suddenly the elevator starts moving it own.

“I guess solving one problem this dilemma,” Midori was laughing sheepishly.

Ahn was running up the stairs evading shoots from the Searrs soldiers from behind and seeking some room within the tight confine between the floors to fight. With military training they have, they used suppress fire to covering their tracks and simultaneous impede her movement.

Ahn ran up to the next floor above her before meeting couple of soldiers coming down from previous floor and Ahn found herself facing six against one and the odds isn’t good for her so she made a tactical retreat and kick the door next to her and entering the ninth floor. “They’re very annoying I can’t shake them off,” Ahn thought as she escaping from her pursuers.

Midori, Rosalie and Mahya ran into trouble when they found about eight Searrs’ soldiers on the seventh floor and currently fighting them. Rosalie curse both in English and French using her throwing knives at them as three soldiers use the table as a shield protecting themselves and returning fire as Rosalie duck under a desk, Mahya was planting some C4 explosive around the room and quickly dodging gun fire surrounding her, Midori was having trouble against two baton wielding assailants in close quarter combat where her labrys would be almost useless and force be defensive.

“Damn it! They’re very relentless I can’t even land a hit on them!” Midori was mentally airing her frustration. Rosalie using a chair as weapon and the three Searrs soldiers using their knives after ran out of bullets against her. The first one tried to sever her jaguar artery by stuffing her life out but she parry the attempt and roundhouse kick the guy. The short one using the opportunity stab her through the eye but Rosalie smack him away with the chair and hitting the third one behind her before he grabbing Rosalie and slit her throat.

Mahya planted all the explosives around the room and preparing to denote. “Midori I had set up the explosives so you need to take cover now!” Mahya was screaming at Midori.

“I kind busy right now, Mahya please be patient with me,” Midori said while struggling with her fight.

Rosalie was now holding the knife and currently slashing aggressively against her opponents. The tall man has hold his injury left leg after Rosalie cut him, the others hoping finding a way penetrate her defenses wildly slashing in panic and adding adrenaline to the mix fueling despair attempt. Rosalie sidesteps the knife swipe and stabbed the guy in the throat causing him to fall and dies before hitting the floor.

The two realize their partner was dead in attempt of retaliation they blindly charging at her, Rosalie took her whip from her hip and smacking them in the face causing them to stop. Before either one of them recovers, Rosalie using her whip and pick the knife with it and in circle motion cutting across the tall Searrs soldiers slash his eyes making his blind. “You fucking bitch! I can’t see!” He was flaring around blinding, the last one of the trio witnessing his partner in crime stumble around and keep hit in the office surround by tables and chairs. Rosalie then exploits the situation by use the knife and throwing and hitting the last soldier in the forehead before he react. “Bye, Bye my darling,” Rosalie blow a kiss and head toward Midori order to help her.

Midori now have the upper hand against her two opponents with Mahya fighting off the three other Searrs employ soldiers and Rosalie headed to the rescue. Midori using the butt of her labrys hitting one of them in the stomach causing them double over in pain. The female soldier realizing her buddy was in pain; pull a hidden knife from her belt and decide to deploy a sneak attack. Midori is sensing it and severing her right forearm with her labrys. The woman cried from the pain and Midori finish her off with a decapitation. Midori was enjoying her victory; the medium built man took his gun from his wristband and trying to shoot an unsuspecting Midori. He got caught by Rosalie’s whip; drag to the floor and pull toward her. She steps on his throat and crushing his windpipe.

“Midori you should paid attention before celebrating your victory.” Rosalie gave Midori an ironic smile.

“Don’t spoil my fun mommy,” Midori was pouting childishly. Rosalie was rolling her eyes in plain annoyance.

“Sorry spoiling the mood but we still need get the hell out of here so I can blow up the damn room,” Mahya sound very irritate.

Both Midori and Rosalie look at each other in some private joke. Mahya won’t leave the room and using a large desk as a barrier trap the three remaining soldiers in there. They ran off toward the elevator with detonator in Mahya’s hand she set off the explosives in the room killing the Searrs soldiers.

Sakura was in hallway at the sixth floor running around before spotted Ahn fighting off about couple of soldiers and pinning against the corner. Sakura about to assist Ahn against her fight, she was grab from behind and slam against the wall. She was stun and disorientate as her attacker repeatedly slamming her against wall before body slam her on ground. The big burly soldier was looking at her lustfully.

“Well, well look here what sexy little jailbait we have here,” The soldier was undressing Sakura with his eyes.

“Fuck off you damn pervert!” Sakura poor attempt being defiant cut off by would be rapist as he picks her up from the floor and once more slamming her against the wall knocking her off.

“I like being part of Searrs private army because they overlook me being a pedophile and my criminal record. They paid good shit erase my crimes and bribe public officials especially the warden in the prison I was leave for good behavior.” He laughs sinisterly

He is lifting her up and about to kiss Sakura he felt something metallic in his mouth it was blood and Sakura bit his bottom lip. She was playing possum and head butting the guy. “Die you bastard!” That was her battle cry as she was free after he loosens his grip.


“I like you more than ever. For your reward I’m going to torturing you, raping you and finally kill you,” He was smiling sadistically.

Sakura in a battle stance with her yo-yo in her hand fight against the deprive soldier. “Come on big man you want me that badly just fight me,” Sakura taunted.

“Be a good girl and go come quietly so I have the pleasure enjoying myself,” The burly soldier tried to provoke Sakura.

They have a stare down and waiting the other make the first move before the large soldier made the move by charging at her. Sakura drop to the ground and perform a sweep knocking him down. Before he recovers, Sakura kick him in jaw with a hard kick causing the muscular man seeing stars. Sakura positioning herself in defensive stance as the Searrs soldier got back up.

“You almost knock couple of my teeth out and felt sore too but thanks for hitting me,” He dared her to hit him again.

Sakura took couple steps back when her opponent slowly advancing toward her. She used her yo-yo to attack but he caught it before it reaches him, Sakura in desperation start kicking him at the shins hoping halt his advances and buying herself some time. Having a height advantage he backhand her and knocking her few feet away. Sakura was frantically scrambling to escape from him and found a large pot using it as a weapon against her assaulter.

“It doesn’t hurt a bit little girl. You need a tank to hurt me,” The soldier said with hint of anger. He picks Sakura up in bear bug attempting crushing her life.

Sakura found herself in a predicament feeling the life slipping from her. Out of instinct she bit part of his left ear off. He screams and that help her free from his grip, Sakura slip under his legs and retrieve her yo-yo. Sakura realize she need to permanently stopping him.

Ahn was fighting against two enemies with body armor making hard her to dent their defense on top she receiving wounds and added fatigue settling in. Ahn reverse grip of her sai tried to stab one on her right in the eye but he was protected by plastic shield on his helmet.

A swift kick in the gut got Ahn separate from her weapons and knocking the wind from her. One of armored-cover men with a steel rod attempting to crack her head open, Ahn perform a handspring to counter and ducking under a hard strike. “I’m getting tired and they’ve land some good hits on me but I need return the evidence to Alyssa and ending the horrors from Searrs,” Ahn tried to will herself to continue.

Midori, Mahya, and Rosalie were searching for Ahn and Sakura since they didn’t heard from either one of them for a while. Midori is starting to get worry about her comrades especially Sakura in spite being annoying and acting cocky she consider her as a kid sister. “We should found them right now. They could be in danger…” Mahya was interrupt by Midori.

“We’ve company and look like they have a woman with them maybe a hostage? She need be rescue pronto,”

“What about Ahn and Sakura? They’re our top priority and we need to secure the disk from them.” Mahya was sounding frustrated.

“We can still finding them but right now the woman being held by two guards and look they escort her out of the building,” Midori observe the situation.

“How we rescue the woman and find both Ahn and Sakura?” Rosalie starts to question Midori.

“There a will, there a way.” Midori was quoting something she heard once.

Rosalie was exasperated. “Midori please be serious and stop joking around they are in danger and stop thinking it a game to play hero,” Midori is hitting Rosalie back of her head.

“What the hell that! The leaders don’t hit their supports because they not agreeing with the orders.” Rosalie stares into Midori’s eyes and she never saw from the older woman: anger.

“Rosalie you know it to disobey an order isn’t good thing you know,” Midori was starting to lecture Rosalie. “Besides you ruined the mood I try to build,”

Rosalie was dumbstruck and wanting find the nearness wall so banging her head against it.

Mahya felt they’re wasting time by fooling around. “Midori and Rosalie let go help the woman before they take her from the building,” With silent understanding both Midori and Rosalie with Mahya follow them.

Saeko wonders what they going to do with her since now she left with her capturers and headed for military van. She’s thinking about her daughter Natsuki and her life as a scientist until she felt the two military men slump on the ground and seeing her savior with toothy grin.

“Ma’am you are safe now because justice prevail over evil,” Say Midori with enthusiasm. Rosalie is biting her tongue to not provoking Midori.

“Thank you saving me but my stuffs in building on last floor and there a woman somewhere in the office,” Saeko explains everything to the trio. Midori, Mahya and Rosalie realize that Ahn was there before they start searching for her. “Tell me what last time you saw her?” Midori feel anxiety and dread through her voice.

“About half-hour ago after seeing her,” Saeko was omitting the part Ahn told her pretend she never saw her.

“Thanks for the information miss now stay behind things might be dangerous around here,” Midori sound serious for first time long while.

In few times Mahya and Rosalie seeing Midori being a leader and not self-proclaimed seventeen old. “Okay guys let’s go,”

Ahn took awhile to dispatch her armored-clad enemies through sheer willpower and couple lucky breaks involving an axe. She was exhausted from her fight and found Sakura in worse shape than her. Sakura still have a hard time against her mammoth opponent and down on one knee breathing hard consider varied plans she had in her mind. “That bastard should stay down as if he was a terminator,” The large soldier was grinning is spite having a wound on his back from the axe Sakura used to have

“Sweet girl you turn on me even further than you ever have,” He spoke his satisfaction. Ahn was trying use stealth have advantage over the man was paying attention to Sakura.

“No, no miss I don’t want you to spoil our little fun together beside I can smell you,” He backhanded Ahn away from himself and Sakura before she attempts an attack.

Sakura experience something she never experience before unadulterated terror as she needing to be strong fighting against form of an unstoppable monster.

Ken just wants a normal life where him go to work through the daily grind with his senior and be back home by sunrise. Add being an expecting father and wife with an expensive taste is tough to sustain with his fix income. But today turn anything but ordinary when a woman walking the hallways at this time night. His partner Kyoutaru being the security guard for tech firm over fifteen years now investigate the source of the disturbance (Adding for the fact if the superiors got wind of this allowing someone wandering around the building stealing corporate secrets they are royally fuck a potential scandal could leak out to the media.)

Anything seems fine at first but they heard an explosion on the eighth floor they head up to check on. Immediately after exiting from the elevator they found the conference room got blow up and seeing few human remains laying about (Ken have to keep his stomach from puking up his lunch.) His partner was stoic and not reacting to the carnage that happened past mere seconds.

After he recovers seeing the past battle gore, Ken and Kyoutaru decide which floor to search the mystery woman. After a game of rock, paper, and scissor Ken won. He made his decision to check the sixth floor with Kyoutaru following him.

When they finally arrive on the sixth floor unexpected chaos erupts as they heard sounds of fighting down in the hallway involving several combatants. Three woman were fighting against a large man who could tank he way to victory took their best shots smiling in glee. (Something disturbing about the man Ken thought.) On corner of his eye he saw a purple-haired teenager charging with a fire extinguisher toward the man in rage.

Ken the first thing he notice the red-hair woman holding a weapon and probably too realistic be use as cosplayer prop. The blond look she came from a foreign country and well-endow (They said look but no touch.) The third one is black since not many black people living in Japan. “Senpai we can help them since the guy look tough?” Ken was asking a question.

“Minami-san forget it not our fight to interfere with beside with have find that woman or we’ll losing our jobs over this,” Kyoutaru refute Ken sternly.

Ken watch hopeless as the Searrs solider effortless thrashing them around even Midori score direct hits from her labrys on him. Deep inside Kyoutaru felt sorry for his kouhei but they can’t help them and thinking something special going to happened sort a gut feeling.

Ahn recovers from being knocked out and witnessing her comrades struggling against the deviant solider. She found one of her sai and starting to drag her body toward the melee painfully. His slap was powerful causing her get the wind knocks from her. Determine to finish him off for good Ahn was crawling toward the solider slowly before ending at his genital area. Then she stabs him on his left testicle and he utter painful cry.

When he was in agony, Midori slice off his left arm at the shoulder. Fountain of blood came from the sever arm as he was dying from blood lost. In triumph they celebrate their hard fought victory.

Ken was happy for them (Even felt sick after watching Midori completely slashing his arm off and wince Ahn stabbed him down there as a guy he unconsciously covering his family jewels.)

“Ahn you got we search for?” Midori asks her friend. Ahn hands Midori a disk containing Project Darkness. “That we need and Alyssa should digest the content,” Midori sound wary after a long night.

“We need a shower to wash off the sweat and blood,” Mahya sound she now have wash her favorite jacket.

“Thanks to Searrs I can’t get my beauty rest and my hair is mess up.” Rosalie was grumbling.

Sakura was unusually quiet and thoughts of dying after facing a very dangerous opponent. “What wrong Sakura-chan?” Midori was asking the teenager.

“Nothing bothering me just we kick ass and Searrs shouldn’t messing with us,” Midori can tell that Sakura use a defensive mechanism to cover her true feelings.

The morning sun rise there several news vans arriving with a limo parking few feet away from the building. John Smith was at the scene talking to his cell phone. “I figure the CEO having hand in this with last night raid. Ms. Searrs shouldn’t be underestimate she have inherent her father’s brilliant mind that she onto my little side project Mr. Homura now we have to move the bodies from the building to prevent everyone finding out and expunge the records from the computers that Ms. Searrs have the data,” Smith sound supremely confidence. “We bribe the local media to suppress the truth going out and Searrs disguise ambulance carried the dead soldiers back to many secret bases we have throughout Japan and compensated Ms. Kuga due interruption of her experiments since she never know the true content.” He pushes the end button and took out his blackberry out. “I’ll make an appointment to see the cunning CEO,” He smiles devilishly.
