Preze Park.

Hiruma Hebiko yawned and crawled out of her tent into another day in this strange, strange city. Her clan and the JSDF sent her here to evaluate American heroes, so far... She was confused. The city was at constant war with the Rikti, time traveling Praetorian and the forces of lord Recluse, but the average citizen didn't seem to mind.

To keep her edge, she found one of the so called hazard zones and set up camp, kept her edge sharp, reminded her of her time on the battle field, walking down to the stream, she stripped off and started washing, her bow and arrow with in arm reach as she cast her gaze around, normally her morning bath was interrupted by Hellions or Circle of Thorns, but it seemed they started avoiding this area, maybe she had driven them off finally? A shame, they where a good foe.

Finishing up, she grabbed her bow, taking aim and shooting her breakfast, a nice fait trout. She was shocked that in the middle of a city, there was not only a stream, but it was bountifully.... One of the many oddities here. Heading back to her camp, she started a fire, cooking her fish as she sat and dried.

Beedliy beep.

Sighing she tapped her ear, activating her com. "Hebiko here."

The upbeat voice of her mission support came through. "PAX here, we have another mission for you, contacts in Kings Row want you to take on the Skulls."

"Skulls huh? What's their deal?"

"They are a gang of death worshiping drug dealers, to join them you must kill some one and take their skull as a mask, be careful Hebiko, some of the higher ups even know magic!"

"Huh, magic? Better keep my eyes out."

"And Hebiko? Don't try the box routine, people are starting to catch on."

"There is nothing wrong with the box, it is the perfect but of stealth gear!"

There was a sigh from PAX. "I keep telling you, we have perfectly fine optic camoflauge here at the base for you."

Hebiko just grunts. "Heading out now, mission start."

"Good Luck Hebiko, I'm just a call away if you need anything."

PAX is a fine OTACON reference.

To be fair... I forgot the con you referenced on Discord Fox

Kings Row.

Hiruma Hebiko hammered on the door. "Utaku Tsuko, wake up, the Dojo needs us." She yelled, she had been here for ten minutes, but no response, grunting she knelt down and picked the lock, it was depressingly easy, Paragon put little thought into home safety it seemed.

As the lock clicked, she opened the door and carefully moved in, the Utaku woman's apartment smelling like a steeps yurt, she screwed her face in disgust, but then Despite being Japanese in origin, Tsuko's clan had a strong Mongolian vibe, leading to many to think them traitors to Japan.

Moving in, she panned from side to side, over yak skin rugs, past incense burners to the bedroom, sprawled out on a collection of furs was Tsuko's buff naked form and some other woman curled up with her.... Growling Hebiko walked up and slapped Tsuko's ass.

The tattooed form of Tsuko yelled and jerked awake, the woman next to her rolling away in surprise. Hebiko glared at her. "Dress and leave, I must speak with Tsuko in private." The shocked woman nodded, quickly pulling her dress on and running.

Tsuko rubbed her eyes and stretched. "Damn it snake, what is it you want?" She yawns and scratches her belly.

"You, you damn slob."

"Buy a girl a drink first." The tattooed woman smirked, only for Hebiko to smack her on the head with her bow.

"Head out of the gutter, the dojo has need of us, both of us." Hebiko snapped.

Tsuko yawned. "Yeah yeah, get that woman on your radio to order breakfast." She stands up, her body much thicker and toned than the Hiruma's.... But then the Hiruma family was a scout corp, the Utaku where warrior maidens.

Grumbling Hebiko tapped her radio. "PAX, it's me.... It seems our warrior needs food before she will do anything."

PAX sighed. "Right, sending out baised off her uber eats orders."

Hebiko leant against the wall as Tsuko slowly made her way to the bathroom. "Let me wash up, the elders do not need me smelling of last nights conquests."

Again the Hiruma scout wondered why she needed this brutes help.

[Dark Seraph]

Bricks town.

Hebiko and Tsuko sat in the car, reading the scroll the dojo elders had given them, their target was a Colonel from the Rogue Isles, one Valtin, his powers where electrical manipulation and he had infiltrated a Freak Show gang, leading them on raids on Longbow and Vanguard assets.

Tsuko chewed her breakfast burrito. "This does not look to hard, just busy in, break some skulls and leave."

Hebiko sighed. "This is a stealth mission, I am to infiltrate and assassinate the target, I assume you are here if anything goes wrong."

Tsuko laughs. "It will if you use that old box trick, everyone knows about it now little snake."

Hebiko just glares as she hops out of the car. "Just keep your coms on, you can do that?"

The stocky Utaku waved her hand, tapping her ear piece. "Your girlfriend's can call me if they need me."

The Hiruma scout grumbles. "They are ,y support crew, not my girlfriend's." She snaps, climbing out of the car, heading to the target wearhouse, unslinging her bow as she went.

Tsuko adjusted the car seat till it was near horizontal and sighs. "I will be waiting little snake."

Inside the wearhouse.

Hebiko inched across the catwalk, looking down at a collection of Freakshows surrounding Valtin as he spoke, terms of anarchy and civil disruption coming easy to his scared lips as he rallied the gang, he looked so out of place, wearing some sort of body suit while the freaks around him had the most crude cybernetics hammered into their flesh.

Pulling back on her bow, she lined up her shot, a quick head shot and the Dojo's will be done, PAX reporting that Valtin also had quite the bounty on his head... Maybe she could make some cash off this too?

"What the fuck?" Came a voice from along the cat walk, Hebiko spinning to see a freakshow armed with an SMG walking towards her, with out a second thought she listened her arrow, the freak going down with it sticking out of his eye, spinning back she tried to line a shot back up on Valtin, but him and his goons where staring at her.

Smiling, the Colonel raised his hand, a bolt of lightning lashing out and tearing up the catwalk she was standing on, sending her plummeting onto the floor with a bone jaring thud, blinking the pain away, she watched as the freakshow surrounded her, in her ear she could hear PAX's panicked cries at the freaks started beat her.

"Hebiko? Hebiko? Heeeeeeebiiiiiiikoooooooo?"


Outside.

Tsuko was jerked awake as her come went off, irritably she tapped her ear to hear the panicked voice of PAX. "Tsuko, Hebiko's coms went dead, but before it we registered a massive electrometric disturbance, I think Valtin got her."

Tsuko cracked her knuckles as she got out of the car, walking around the back and popping the boot, pulling out and assembling her naginata. "Should of done it my way from the start." She grunted and walked up to the warehouse.

She gave it a once over before spitting on the ground, tapping her com. "Do not worry, I will save your girlfriend." She says, ignoring the stammering protests coming from the other end as she kicked in the door, sending one freak flying, the other door guard looking at her stunned as her pole arm whipped out, I paling him in the chest, she tugged it free in a spray if blood, hearing him gasp as his lung collapsed and started filling with blood, the other  freak getting to his feet, she lashed out with a disembowing blow. She was not here to play nice, killing blows where allowed.

She worked slowly and methodologically through the wearhouse, her blade slick with blood as she eventually entered the main chamber. Hebiko was stripped to the waist, hanging from some chains as Valtin punched her again and again with his electric powers, Tsuko could not quite make out what he was shouting.... Something about money? She did not care, she just needed him dead.

Pointing her naginata at him, she bellowed a challenge. "Colonel Valtin, you will face me, Utaku Tsuko of the proud Utaku family!" She stared up at him.

As if an after thought, he pointed his hand at her, lightning arcing off his fingers and through her body, gritting her teeth, Tsuko did not fall, but slowly pushed her self forward into the oncoming stream of electricity.

Valtin quicker a scared brow. "Ahhh, a fighter." He said in a thick Russian accent. "Maybe you can give me some entertainment where your ally failed to." He sneared.

Tsuko spat to one side, adjusting her grip on her pole arm. "Bring it freakshow." She said calmly, stepping up as he launched another blast of lightning at her, dodging to one side, she made a sweep for his feet, but he jumped and gave a rough kick at her knee, his thick boot connecting with a crack.

But am Utaku battle maiden did not fold so easily. Stepping into his attack, she brought the butt of her weapon in a savage blow to his scared face, sending teeth flying and he countered with a guy punch, again blasting lightning through her.

She just gave a savage grin and slammed her forehead into his nose, breaking it and sending blood spurting out and lashed out with her weapon as he staggered, cutting deeply into his thigh. He growled through the blood. "Difficult bug to swat."

Tsuko gave him a cute smile. "Oh me? I'm the distraction."

Valtin looked confused. "Distractio-" he was cut off as a katana punched through his chest, Hebiko behind him panting, she had escaped her bonds and grabbed her sword, waiting for Tsuko to give her the right moment to stroke.

Valtin coughed blood, before dropping to his knees. "You will..... Never... Get your hands... On my legacy." He says, dropping into a pool of expanding blood.

Tsuko stepped up to Hebiko. "You okay?"

The other ninja gave a weak nod before collapsing, Tsuko stepping in to grab her, her free hand tapping her ear piece. "Got her PAX,mission accomplished."

Elsewhere.

"Yes sir, it appears Valtin is dead, the ninjas did their job well... As for the embezzled Arachnos funds? Back in the right hands, our hands..... Yes, I agree, we could use a unit like the ninjas for dirty ops, I'll start the arrangements right away... Thank you sir, as always it is a pleasure to serve.... Yes, goodbye sir."
