“You owe me this one Nam Seung.” Sasaki-si said as he opened the door and presented me with a bonded young man in tattered fine clothing.

“Right, let’s get to business, take watch, I’ll do the talking,” I said as Sasaki-si left then left the room.

“Baron Roschestar, so glad to see you. Sorry to have our meeting in such an informal circumstance, but I’m in quite a hurry to save my friends from being raped to oblivion by your piece of shit family, so I’ll say this once. Where are the troops that were conducting humanitarian missions in your territory?” I said, taking the butt of my rifle and bashed his face in breaking his nose before removing his gag.

“I will have you hanged for this don’t you know who I am peasant?” He yelled to my face.

“Ho? Who’s having whose head now? Assess your situation then tell me.” I taunted him, after pulling the horrible mess that he called hair up to my face.

After a long and excessively violent interrogation, I finally managed to get the location of the girls and after taunted the piece of shit adult with a chance of freedom, I then pulled out my shotgun and blew his head all over the wall as Sasaki greeted me with a bag full of ammo and weapons.

“I got this from the Russians’ armoury, we’re doing this off the books so no Terran agents nor air support, we’ll be cut off and if we’re captured, no one’s gonna come.”

“Understandable, I like to roll solo anyway.”

However, as we prepared to ride our horses out of our temporary camp outside of the main FOB, a helicopter began to encircle our position and though I had thought that the branch had sent people out to apprehend us and we would be tazed or tranquillized as soon as we tried to run.

However, a familiar voice called out to us as the chopper complete its descent.

“You dumb kids planning to go on a suicide mission?” Giang asked as he walked over to give each of us a pair of headphones.

“Japanese and Korean comrades, how are you going to fight the enemies carrying heavy equipment? You need a lighter load carrier. Put these on comrades.” Phuong said, giving each of us a pair of harnesses and began to remove the contents of our duffle to be able to clip to the gear that she gave us.

“Who told you that we’re here, this safe house was supposed to be off the books?”

“And that’s the reason why I love you black ops kids, you guys are hilariously stupid thinking that ‘cuz you’re covert scouts meaning that we regular troops won’t find you out; we usually do catch on quicker than you think,” Giang said.

“We’ll brief ya on the way. Hop on.” Giang said as he began to rev up the engines.

“The rows of refugees that came in 2 days prior stated that a humanitarian outpost that we had in the lower planes got attacked by magician and sage type privateers. I immediately knew who they were talking about since your threesome of the Terran Elven princess, North and South Korean agents had just departed to provide aid for those in the contested ‘Sacred jungle’.” Phuong said.

“Since we know that you’re extremely hot-headed, you’d do anything to save them. We figured that you’d capture and kill someone from the Rochestar family to get the info on your next target.”

Giang said, handing us a map and a few pictures that the British took when they did their routine recon flights.

“The stronghold that you two planned to assault is a heavily fortified hot zone that many high officials and nobles frequented.”

“How come? Some sort of a ball hall or something?” Sasaki said as he began to load his magazines and put them into his chest pouches.

“Slave camps…”

“When privateers managed to capture prisoners from indigenous folks, they are sent here. From here, the slaves would then be bought by Rhineland traders who would sell them for a higher price in the cities or nobles looking for sex slaves and/or concubines. There are many privateers guarding this location so it’ll be quite hard to go in stealthily.”

“Ho? Who said that we’re going in stealthily?” I then pulled out an RPG from the back compartment of the helicopter, began to assemble the weapon as we close into the vicinity of the stronghold and began to take aim.

Phuong upon seeing me raising the RPG through the overhead mirror threw her body weight against the sliding door and slid it open, making an immediate opening as the back blast of the RPG round blew the window clean off.

“Woah, kid! Stabilize honey! Stabilize!” Phuong said as the helicopter violently shook from the ordeal.

“You’re dead motherfuckers.” I yelled aloud as the Rocket impacted a guard tower and Sasaki began to gun down crossbowmen and musketeers.

“LZ cleared, preparing for touch down, over,” Sasaki said as he folded the machinegun in and began to clip onto the SPIE rigs.

“Solid copy, kid. Bird’s moving to deployment now.”

Giang then commenced hovering the copter over one of the blown-up guard towers and we managed to repel down into the shaft.

“Playboy and Pokerface have entered the scene!” I shouted as we touched down much to the dismay of Sasaki and our pilots.

“Be quiet you idiot!” Sasaki-si said as he gave me a smack at the back of my head.

However, as we detached ourselves from the SPIE rigs, I noticed many silhouettes charging toward us with lancers and melee weapons.

“Too late for that!” I said, wittingly pulled out my shotgun and began slamming slugs downrange.

“Where are my girls you mother fucking old farts?” I yelled aloud, aiming mostly for kneecaps and their feet, leaving many of them incapacitated as they rushed toward our position.

After a long and violent battle leaving many dead and even more in a state of crippled and bleeding out.

“Sasaki-si, do you mind unlocking the cages? I’ll stay here and have some fun with these old farts.” I said, holstering my weapon and began to step on the wounds of the still partially alive soldiers.

“Excuse me, have you seen these girls?” I jumped on one of the still partially alive soldiers and showed him a group picture of the girls and me.

I didn’t really get much out of him since the guy went into shock as soon as I stomped on his wound and thus I had to move on. No luck, however, as many of them died soon after the battle due to many of my shots hitting their arteries and vitals, thus I had to wrap up to then interrogate some of the nobles hiding in their safe rooms.

“Knock knock! You sons of bitches!” I yelled, breaching their large doors with my shotgun.

The bang startled many of the cowering fat sacks as I began to introduce myself.

“Good evening everyone, my name is Kim Nam Seung of the International Cooperative Coalition, I am here in search of my comrades who was doing humanitarian work in Baron Rochestar’s territory before their capture by his men,” I said, reaching into my butt pack to pull out a few pictures that I had taken of the freshly massacred corpse of Baron Rochestar whose head had been blown clean off by the buckshot of my shell.

“This fucker right here is Rochestar, I suggest that if you wanna have an open casket, better answer my questions or I’ll feed you some lead.” I then went around asking many of them of where my friends were, even asking many of the slaves that Sasaki-si brought up to the room.

Many of them were elven folk coming from “The Sacred jungle” that we had made contacts with prior back before the cunt Rochestar came and annexed parts of the Jungle into his territory. Many were acquainted with the humanitarian workers whom I was addressing but stated that they had not met any of the girls ever since the privateers attacked.

“Moshi Moshi? Yeah, we cleared out the stronghold. Yeah, and three chinooks for the HVIs and hostages too, oh about 190 in total but many of them are children so three should be enough…”

“God damn mother fucking pieces of shit!” I said, continuously butting the stock of my shotgun at the old farts.

“Oh and do it quick before Play… I mean Nam Seung kill all the HVIs, he has been beating them with the stock of his weapon for the last 15 minutes now. Yeah… Alright over and out.” Sasaki-si then began to hurdle the girls into a group to keep warm as the evening settled and night came.

“Stop harassing those HVIs man, the branch ain't gonna like the amount of casualties that you left behind, so don’t make it worse by harassing those trash, they aint worth it.”

“These lecherous old fucks have probably screwed my women before transferring them all away, haven’t ya? Say yes mother fuckers, say yes. I’d be so fucking glad if you say yes.” I then shoved the barrel of my shotgun through his gag.

“Stand down Nam Seung, I don’t really wanna taze you but I will,” Sasaki-si said as he pulled the taser on me.

Since Revenants were mostly kids and teenagers, the damage generated from a taser would leave me writhing on the ground and probably passed out, thus I backed off and waited patiently for our exfil’s arrival.

Sasaki-si and I took shifts guarding our prisoners and took care of the hostages like stoking fires and cooking a small pot of food from the nobles’ and guards’ food cellar and even preparing for some of them a place to sleep with the drapes and beddings that we took from the Nobles’ room. To keep their spirits up, the hostages began to sing songs and hum melodies; this reminded me of that time, the time when foes became friends and the two Koreas joined each other in a night-long symphony of love and friendship.

Do you remember the song that we sang when I sat facing you?

Do you miss the season when our feet walked side by side?

My days felt complete when I hear you sing, you laugh,

You smiled and whispered by my side

The scents scattered away the shy moonlight when I hold you in my arms

Do you miss a lot and are you listening?

You are the stars that landed in my little hands,

The petals of the season that stayed for a while

I long for the song that we sang when I sat facing you

Remember the season when our feet walked side by side.

Do you miss the seasons?

One day, I’ll walk hand in hand with you

I’ll smile quietly over the hill of memories.

You and our songs are in your memories

I call over the hill of longing

Do you miss a lot and are you listening?”

As I ended my humming, I noticed all eyes were set on me and for the first time during my cooperation with this Japanese boy that I managed to see him bled a tear.

“That was very good singing sire!” One of the elven girls said as others soon followed with compliments and also began clapping.

Even the Robot shed a tear for me, today certainly was a great day as even though I hadn’t managed to find Ria-si, Seoyoung-ga and Eunji-noona; I believed that I had taken a step closer and will soon be able to reunite with them.
