Ryo's Story Volume 3: Deception Chapter 4

[marauder_09]

Angel’s cell location
Captain Cortez
Time-Are you actually reading this?? Its 1215

“We are taking enemy fire from a side-side-side-sas angle and we are taking heavy fire. We’ll running out of ammunition and I got five people down. Request-re-questing person-nel”

The enemy ambushed us and my men were running down with low ammo. Five men are already wounded and the medic was doing all he can to save others. My rifle is already out and I only had the dual .45 pistol with me. According to the men’s account of their rifles, another five minutes and this floor will be covered with our dead bodies.

My men were in a bunker position while the enemies are blocking the way towards Angel’s cell. The PRT’s were mixed with the SRT’s and the SOULS were fighting side by side.

“Sir, we can’t keep going on like this!” said a PRT demolition man. “Aren’t the reinforcements coming in yet?”

“If I call for them, they’ll be getting killed when they come out of the stairway” I argued.

The stairway was right behind us and Sergeant Michelle spoke in a worried voice.

“GT, you are breaking up. Confirm status. Tap the receiver twice over.”

BAM BAM BAM

The .45 pistol had a very strong accuracy and its bullet slug a bodyguard to the ground. Pressing the receiver down twice to make a loud beep, I ran toward the SRT’s. We were practically positioned in a good way but this advantage will not last long. I moved to the front barricade and I was able to take out three guys.

“Captain, we’ll die before we can even get to the girl.”

“Reinforcements!? Where are the reinforcements?” shouts a SRT man I knew as Captain Merrill.

“Negative boys, just aim carefully with shot per person.”

These guys were tough and Mithril took them in when their military of origin was just too political about the uniform. Battle and camaraderie is where we belong.

“Ground Unit, this-is-S-S-S-te-te-team”

“S-team, I copy. What’s your status?”

“We’re waiting and securing the ground floor. R-team and Three Musketeers are coming in as your reinforcements. Hang tight for zero seven over.”

“Roger S-team lead. Out.”

BOOM

The sound of a grenade launcher dominated the hearing of the battle. Ducking for cover, I look behind and saw reinforcements with black ninja gear on. I saw Michelle again.

“Cortez, stay there. We’ll be pushing them back. The rest of you who are not injured come with us” said Captain Santiago.

“Roger Captain. All men forward and cover fire!” I said.

The men went forward as ordered and began to kill the bodyguards fast like lightning.
Michelle and a lady I recognize as Sergeant Major Mao came to me as the others went forward. Looking down, I realized I was shot on my left shoulder.

“Michelle, Mao! Good to see you girls” I said happily behind the barrier.

“Cortez, I didn’t know you were in this operation” said Mao.

“Yeah, David called me before I went back to Mediterranean Fleet for my next duty. I’m just glad to see you. Mao, you look prettier than the last time I saw you.”

“Cortez, hold still for a moment. We need to bandage you” said Michelle.

Michelle, she changed a lot too.

Mao was saying something but I didn’t understand. What is she trying to say? It’s like the sounds I was hearing right now are suddenly mute. I tried hard to listen hard to what Melissa was trying to say but to no avail.

Looking at Michelle, she was getting the medic to come to me ASAP and I notice I was getting cold by the second. The light is just being so damn bright right now. Am I going blind and deaf like that young girl-what was her name again? I can’t remember anything.

My sight is failing me and yet I manage to still know what my name is. What my first name really is of course. Father, I have brought dishonor to the Cortez family. Please forgive me…
By the time I knew it, my eyes close and all I heard were the gunfire covering the yells of Sergeant Major Mao…

Angel’s cell
Lieutenant Iwamura
Time: 1218

Into the middle of the building, the GT were suffering badly until we showed up. I saw Captain Cortez being attended by Michelle and Mao as the team pressed forward to get to Angel. Souske, Kurz, David, Leon, and I were the vanguard of the force.

“Souske, Kurz” David said “Press forward while Leon and Ryo cover you. I have to call in HQ for evacuation of the wounded. Sagara, you know what you need to do. Do it and get out.”

“Yes sir” said Sagara.

Firing my weapon at the bodyguards, the vanguard broke through the enemy’s line of defense. Leon went forward while I kept myself low of the barriers.

“Ryo” said Leon “I’ll cover you and go with Sagara.”

“Roger”

K-chak d-d-d-d-d-d-drah

Souske and Kurz passed the door to get to Kaname’s cell. All bodyguards die as I ran towards them shooting in blank range. Passing the door was a short and dark hallway. Souske and Kurz were waiting for me. Having the NV shades was a good thing.

“Sagara you ready?” I asked.

Souske nods and looks at Kurz for the signal to break in the door. We readied our weapons in case it was a trap.

3…2…1 Go!

The cell is dark but there’s a switch to turn the lights. Kurz turned it on and cursed.

“Shit where is the switch? What the—”

She wasn’t there. KANAME is not here at all. What the hell happened?! The only thing in this cell was a damn chair and a Motorola phone that was on speaker phone.

“Ahahahahaha, so what happen next Mallory?”

“So Ryo dated this girl name Haleigh and he didn’t know she was my granddaughter. I’m telling you Kaname, both of them really loved each other a lot. There was one time when they went on a date to Waikiki for the first time and I scared them at the zoo with a disguise I made myself. Their faces were just priceless. I thought Ryo was going to crap on his pants because right after I scared them, he fainted and landed on top of Haleigh on a 69 position” Mallory said with laughter.

“OH MY GOD!! That is so so so funny! Ahahahahaha, I can’t wait to see him and talk to him about it.”

KANAME!!

Souske dove to the phone but David went in front of him and punched him in the gut. Kurz tried to hit David but I used my baton to knock him out. I set the speaker phone off. Souske was unconscious and had to be taken away while David stayed behind with anger on his face.

The men came in and started freaking out.

“Oh my f*ckin G**, we did this shit for nothing!”

“Damn, I even broke up with my girlfriend because of this L.A. Rush.”

“Shut up and ask Iwamura what’s up” said Mao.

Everyone looked at me and David was not smiling.

“Lancer three zero to Marauder-219” spoke my earpiece. It was the Intelligence Department. SOULS heard the same thing since they were on the same channel.

“Marauder-219 to Lancer three zero, I copy”

“Switch to encryption key seven one two one nine one on D-channel over.”

Setting the encryption, the SOULS were looking away from me. Operations and Intelligence do not like each other as what I heard moments before so this is why the bandwidth had to be changed.

“S-team leader provided us info that one Mithril personnel was shot in proprietary structure Intelligence building no. 166078; acknowledge over”

“Affirmative Lancer three zero but I was not given info that 166078 is a proprietary structure” I angrily said.

WTF?!

“Marauder-219, I repeat, Intelligence building no. 166078 is a proprietary structure, own by Mabe pearl from Mike Oscar Tango, Orion Niner Echo Sierra. Gemini 16 of the constellation, Juliet’s love of the heart” said Lancer three zero.

I was silently deciphering the message given to me. Hopefully Operations Department won’t be tailing me about this during the debriefing later.

“Tell me why there is Mithril personnel here in this building” I ask.

“I can only say this was Mabe pearl doing. Echo and Brass commenced this operation to see if Sierra Oscar Uniform Lima is ready. The personnel that were shot will be taken care of. 1-5 lead request to be met at Mc Colorado Avenue.”

“I copy, Marauder-219 out”

1-5 lead was Mallory’s call sign. Only two people in the basement knew the call sign. David and myself only.

“Why you—” Michelle was about to shoot me when Mao came between her and I. I secretly pushed the recording button for everyone in Command to hear later when debrief rolls along after the mission.

“Killing me would be useless Michelle. I passed by your boy before I took the elevator. Feeling very sorry for him, he showed me your ring you gave back. You should have requested a medic for him because he could have died if I didn’t saw him” I said.

Her boyfriend was not dying because the bullet penetrated his chest armor just below his heart. I gave him morphine to put him to rest. I notified Zebra-1 to pick him up quietly when everyone was in here.

“SHUT UP!!” She yelled and kicked me to the wall, making me fall into my hands.

Everyone was in a dark mood. In a quick motion, their weapons were pointed at me.

“Killing me now not only means you would face punishment from Sir Mallory, but also from Command” I said with a smile.

Chuckles erupted because everyone knew Sir Mallory.

“Counter surveillance to Marauder-219” said Justin.

“I copy, what’s up?” I asked with a slow voice.

“Listen to me Ryo and listen very carefully. I intercepted information from the police and they got half of their police force coming in your direction hot and will reach there in fifteen minutes. Bug out of there RYO!”

“Roger, have your cars outside. We’ll escape with you” I said.

Everyone looked at each other and David said “What are you guys waiting for?! Get the hell out of here now!”

And that’s exactly what we did.

Outside Mission Region
Justin Kim
Time: 1227

Justin Kim is my name and I am one of many friends to Ryo Iwamura. As a freelance person to Mithril, a transporter, and a street racer leader, things can be hectic at times. Outside out of the car with an AK47, I had the other drivers driving to go towards the bodyguard building.
Something didn’t feel right.

“Scanners picked up something” said my sister.

Listening to the scanner in my car, I heard the dispatcher say “AT-20, SW-29, SO-5, we got a shoot-out in progress in area 612093, respond over”

“Oh shit”

Getting into the Skyline, I drove fast to the building. Picking up the radio, I had to contact Ryo fast. Call signs AT-20, SW-29, and SO-5 were the names of the police units notorious used for big operations that handled dangerous missions.

Shifting into fourth gear, I was one block away from the mission region. I already saw my cars parked outside with the men holding onto their weapons waiting for Mithril. Seeing me, they wave at the car that they had the place covered.

“Listen to me Ryo and listen very carefully. I intercepted information from the police and they got half of their police force coming in your direction hot and will reach there in fifteen minutes. Bug out of there RYO!”

“Roger, have the cars out now.”

Hearing shouts and footsteps in the radio, that was not the problem we were having.

DOOM DOOM DOOM

“ECS cancel!” said a voice near my car.

I looked up and holy mother of Jesus, I saw a M9 canceling its ECS for the first time in my life. It was a black one and it had a mole cutter knife on its hand.

“Transporters listen to me” said the M9 on its loud speakers “When everyone goes into the cars, go the McDonalds at Mc Colorado Avenue. Whatever you do, do not stray from the convoy because my men won’t be able to help you.”

Five AS’s appeared out of nowhere and was the same type of M9 that was speaking to us. All of them were holding muffled machine guns.

“I understand M9” I said. That’s when the party came out of the building rappelling out from the windows.


Outside no 166078
Captain Santiago

“Insane SOB” I yelled while going towards the window.

Hearing that the police are coming to capture us are not good because this can jeopardize the discovery of a classified mission by Mithril. Luckily, we got five AS’s on standby waiting and the transporters were also outside. I told all personnel to fire at the windows and rappel into ground zero. We had no time to use the elevators.

“Ryo, Souske! Hurry” I yelled.

Both men were putting on their gear and were one of the last to get out.
“Sir, go ahead. We’ll meet you there” said Souske.

“I agree too sir” replied Ryo.

That imbecile…

“I’ll see you guys later then” I grunted.

Belts and chains were lock tight. The rope is secured around my body and I went outside of the window. Rappelling from the eighteenth floor to the bottom will be the best thing I ever experience.

“R-team Lead to Zebra-1, extraction point at Charlie-067. ECS cancel when we arrive over” I said.

“Roger that”

Breathing the cold air to my lungs, I look at the captivating view of the night. It was marvelous but surprising to me as I rappel down every three stories. The stars are out tonight and I kept my head up in case while my hands did its work to get back on the ground.

Chatter in my earpiece just didn’t go away as I wanted it to.

“Urzu 6 to all units, rendezvous at point Charlie-067”

“PRT’s and SRT’s prepare to move and execute final phase of L.A. Rush” replied Lieutenant Iwamura.

“Urzu 7 to 3M, hurry up!”

“There’s too much chatter on this freakin band” Cranston said “SRT’s and PRT’s, switch to H-band now!”

“Just three more stories to go…” I murmur and suddenly, a dude appeared at the broken window where my rope was attached to.

He appeared to be shot and has his hand grasping his wound. The dude was familiar and it came back to me. He was Michelle’s boyfriend.

“Zebra-1, extraction of Mithril personnel is hot, I repeat, eighteenth window of 166708 has a Mithril personnel. Request immediate extraction of friendly”

“R-team lead, negative of sights of Mithril personnel. Thermal sights are on and I don’t see anyone that matches your description” the pilot replies.

“What are you talking about” I blurted while I got down to the ground. I look up and I could still see him there. Wait a second, that dude is gonna-

“Zebra-1! Zebra-1! Mithril personnel is jumping towards the ground, hurry up and use your wire gun to catch him!!”

“What are you talking about?! Negative of Mithril personnel, I repeat, negative on Mithril personnel!”

I look around and someone knocked me unconscious, causing me to fall to the ground. The man was falling, falling down towards me. His blood just seems to be floating in midair and there was nothing I could do for him…
