Finally back at the academy after a relaxing weekend, Karai and Crystal hung out and caught up on missing out. Crystal still hasn’t informed Karai of any details regarding Fukushu and his lair and intends on keeping it that way.
Karai noticed that she and Crystal havent been as close since before June and found it odd that Crystal suddenly wants to be around her all the time. She didn’t pay much attention to it though because she admired her as a decent friend in comparison to those back home.
Months later, in October Karai was assigned her first mission. Everyone prepared their gear and headed on out. Luckily it was within the country parameters so the travelling wasn’t extent. “Right so we will be heading underground as that is where most of the child trafficking is happening. We suspect that one of the royals children are in this group. Because of this, we are sent out to be extra diligent due to the fact that if anyone screws up, these kids will be slaughtered on the spot as their organs can still be harvested and we’re trying to avoid that.
Everyone got on their own assigned bikes and followed Ryuu all the way through the tunnels. They got to a point where the tunnels split into three and Karai was to go with Ryuu whilst the other two split up. They got off their bikes and went in on foot with night vision goggles. Ryuu sent through a blueprint of the tunnel to everyone’s wrist watches so if anyone finds the children first they are to activate their locator and everyone should make their way to the kids immediately.

About ten minutes in Kashikoi hears mourning kids and deep voices yelling. He immediately activates his locator and the squad members let him know they’re on their way. Karai and Ryuu make a detour higher up in the tunnels through vents and work their way through the cramped space. Finally arriving at the location they’re divided by an old rusty vent duct. Getting through that would cause a big racket. Karai decided to take a rubber snake from her back pack which was one of the last yet most brilliant things to bring along for this trip and threw it between all the kids in the lower part of the sewer. As soon as the kids started screaming and crying she kicked through the vent and Chujitsuna caught it. They climbed down and while the kids were in a frantic state they decided to dart all the guards as they stood out like giants. Once everyone was down, they moved along and Chujitsuna as well as Kashikoi reassured the kids they are in good hands. They used the blue prints and let all the kids into the vans and drove out all the way to an orphanage. They went through every child and luckily found the royals child as the 132nd child. Authorities have been contacted and the child was dropped off home safely.
When arriving back at the academy everyone bowed before going to their rooms.
