Honshu, Japan, Osaka prefecture, the Chuo History Museum

Booooom~

The four round launch pads equipped on top of the small tactical vehicle launched a Black Dragon missile. The projectile had hit the Japanese light armored vehicle and tore it into pieces. The 5m high tower of flame rose up into the sky, and a tire flew toward a parked police vehicle.

Woosh~ Booom~

Then, an 8mm laser mini Vulcan gun began to spray its rounds toward the parked vehicles at the outer parking lot and the eight-lane road. Every single armored vehicle and police vehicle blocking the path had been sprayed by the laser beams.

Pew pew pew pew~ Pew pew pew pew~

The sudden attack had caused the police and soldiers to give up on trying to enter the museum and retreat to the rear. The two small tactical vehicles that had carved a path with their firepower parked themselves at the front of the building. Two armored transport vehicles had arrived as well and opened up their rear ramp. When things began to go as planned, the captain of the 503rd company attempted to contact the 2nd local force from within.

-This is the 503rd company of the Red Crows! Flying Tiger platoon, are you there?

-This is the Flying Tiger 2nd platoon! We hear you loud and clear.

-This is the Red Crows! We have secured the entrance of the building. Over.

-This is the Flying Tiger platoon! We are heading out. Over.

The eight small tactical vehicles had split in four directions and began to use their firepower to push back the police and the soldiers to the rear. Teams 1, 2, and 5 that had been pushed back to the second floor had begun to emerge, with teams 3 and 4 being escorted by them. The special forces had carried the numerous cultural artifacts and themselves into the ramp of the armored vehicle. They quickly began to load the luggage.

-Team 3 has completed hauling all of the artifacts, sir!

-Team 4 is also finished, sir!

When teams 3 and 4 had finished loading the artifacts, they started to guard themselves. The two team leaders reported to their commander.

-Teams 3 and 4 are to leave the premises based on their designated routes. See you in three days! Over!

-Yes, sir! Team 3 is heading out.

-Team 4 will see you in three days, sir!

Teams 3 and 4 finished reporting on the radio and moved toward the prepped vehicles. A couple of firefights occurred when they ran into the police or the Japanese army.

-Teams 2 and 5 will begin to move now. Over!

-Team 2 is heading out! Stay safe, sir!

-Team 5 will move out, sir.

The special forces moved swiftly away from where they had fought. Major Gwak Hyun-joon checked his men leaving the area and then carefully walked toward the 503rd company's location.

"Hello. I am Major Gwak Hyun-joon of the 2nd platoon."

When Major Gwak Hyun-joon put out his hand to shake the commander's hand and introduce himself, a man who was at least a decade older than him shook his hand.

"Great to meet you. I am Major Kang Man-do, the commander of the 503rd company. I am sorry for being late. The Osaka city roads were so packed that we were late."

Major Kang Man-do, who had been serving under the 8th special force's sniper brigade for 20 years, spoke apologetically.

"No, it's nothing. I am grateful that you have made it."

"Now! Leave the rest to us, and get moving."

"Yes, thank you."

Major Gwak Hyun-joon saluted and then moved with team 1.

-Teams 1, 2, 3, and 4 are to take down every single Japanese bastard on sight! Make sure they are dead!

The commander of the 503rd company annihilated the Osaka police, SWAT teams, and the 36th mechanized infantry regiment's 1st company after he saw the 2nd platoon making it out safely.

Some building in downtown Odintsovo, Russia

That night, team leader Kim Jin-joong was receiving information about where they would meet with the NIS agents from HQ to safely transport Yagumachi Genzo, the prime minister's cabinet secretary, back to Corea.

The smartphone issued by the NIS finally showed the encrypted information about the location of the meeting tonight. Team leader Kim Jin-joong input the password to the phone. When he did so, the smartphone showed a small dot on a map that marked a small field located at a village named Polivano 35 km away.

"So it's an hour away from us."

"Sir, have you confirmed the location?"

When Chief Park Won-ho walked up to his superior, he showed him the smartphone's screen.

"Yes, I got it. It's a small village named Polivano that is southwest of here."

"Sir."

Chief Ahn Ki-cheol, who had been keeping watch at the safe house, called for his superior in an urgent tone. Team leader Kim Jin-joong walked up to the area where numerous security monitors were at.

"What is it?"

"Unknown persons, sir."

Chief Ahn pointed to a few of the monitors from the ten they had installed.

The first monitor showed a few suspicious men getting off a vehicle and gazing at their surroundings. The second monitor showed the building's entrance.

One man was wearing a beanie, another was wearing the typical Russian fur hat, and the third was bald and black. The three men came up to the entrance and began to check the building's interior. They were holding pistols.

"They're not from the prime minister's cabinet intelligence department. Are they from the SVR (foreign intelligence agency)?"

However, team leader Kim Jin-joong immediately noticed they were not from the SVR. The Russian SVR had no black agents.

"I don't think they are Russian! I never thought I would get involved with a Western nation's intelligence agency all the way here."

Team leader Kim Jin-joong, pulled out his C5 pistol with a silencer and cocked his gun.

"Chief Park and Yoon are to take Yagumachi to the emergency exit. Chief Ahn and I are to greet our guests. Hurry up."

Team leader Kim Jin Joong handed the phone to Chief Park Won-ho.

"The final contact point is on here, so use this."

"Yes, sir!"

"I am staying behind to fight too, sir," Agent Yoon Ho-hyun, the youngest among them, answered while pulling out his own C5 pistol.

Team leader Kim changed his shield glasses into inverter mode and answered in a firm tone, "What's important is bringing that bastard Genzo back to Corea. Chief Park will not be able to handle it by himself. Okay?"

"Yes, sir."

"Then go help Chief Park and take Genzo with you."

Agent Yoon Ho-hyun took Yagumachi Genzo by the arm, while Chief Park grabbed him by the other arm.

"Sir, be careful. We will wait for your arrival after we get there," Chief Park spoke to his superior and glanced at his cohort Chief Ahn.

He smiled slightly and answered back, "Don't worry about me! Just wait for me when you get there."

"All right. Be careful."

When Chief Park Won-ho and his entourage had taken Yagumachi Genzo and disappeared into the emergency exit, Chief Ahn closed the doorway and headed toward the corridor leading to the building's entrance.

Team leader Kim Jin-joong quietly gave the order. "Set the glasses to inverter vision mode, and we start firing at the count of three. Okay?"

Chief Park grasped his C5 pistol tighter and answered, "Yes, sir."

He lamented the fact that they were not equipped with the CS5 laser pistols.

Team leader Kim Jin-joong and Chief Park Won-ho had set their glasses to the inverter vision mode and glanced through the wall. The scene through the glasses showed the three men moving up the stairs and slowly moving up the corridor. Judging by their movements, they seemed to be aware of which room team leader Kim Jin-joong was staying in.

"Chief Ahn, we're moving in at one, two, three."

With the count of three, team leader Kim Jin-joong and Chief Ahn opened the door and fired their pistols. The three men walking up from the corridor responded immediately and retaliated with their own guns.

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew!

Numerous sounds of gunshots had filled the corridor, and the men wearing the beanie and the Russian fur hat managed to stop the blow with their bulletproof vests. However, the other bullets hit them on the neck and face and made them fall. The black man standing behind them broke down the other door and fled to the other house.

The unbelievable thing was that he had managed to hit team leader Kim and Chief Ahn square on the chest and thigh. However, the protective suits that the NIS agents were wearing had only given them a few bruises. They both rolled into the other room.

"These guys are pretty good, eh?"

"Right? They are pros. Be careful."

If they were not wearing protective suits, then they would have been taken out by the foreign agent.

They glanced over to the other house where the survivor was at. He seemed to be using a sofa as a cover while communicating on the radio. It seemed like he was calling for backup from the men that were at the parking lot. Their instincts were right. Six men armed with assault rifles had come up to the second floor.

Bang bang bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang bang!

The men arrived on the third floor and began to fire their silenced rifles. Some of the rounds made it past the wall and began to reach where team leader Kim Jin-joong and Chief Ahn Ki-cheol were.

"These guys are just going at it."

Bullet marks had clearly marked the spot where team leader Kim and Chief Ahn were hiding at.

"Chief Ahn, how many clips do you have left?"

"Excluding the one I have in my gun right now, two."

"That should be enough. Let's dance."

"Yes, sir."

February 11, 2021, 23:00 (Russian Standard Time 17:00)

The vicinity of Polivanova village, Russia

Chief Park and Agent Yoon had used the emergency exit to leave to the other side of the building. They put Yagumachi Genzo aboard and left the safehouse and the gunshots behind them. The van sped through road A100 and sped out of downtown Odintsovo. Then, they got back on the highway to go on the A101 road and finally to their destination.

Chief Park had left Yagumachi Genzo at the hands of Agent Yoon Ho-hyun before he got off from the car with his C5 pistol in hand and shield glasses on. Luckily, he didn't see any suspicious activity.

"There's no one around." Chief Park sighed in relief and glanced at his wristwatch. The time was 22:00 in Russian Standard Time. They were still five hours away from the pickup.

"It's getting darker, so I guess we should hide the car somewhere deep in the forest and wait until the promised time arrives," he thought.

When he got back on the van, Agent Yoon asked him a question, "Chief Park, are we on the clear?"

"Luckily everything is quiet. Let's wait at the forest over there."

"Yes, sir."

Agent Yoon, who was sitting at the driver's seat, drove the van to the forest Chief Park pointed to. Chief Park glanced at Yagumachi Genzo who was drooling and sleeping.

"This bastard is sound asleep like a baby."

Smack!

Chief Park must have been frustrated by the situation and smacked Genzo's forehead. However, he did not even move an inch. The drugs he had been injected with would make him unconscious for another 10 hours.

Four hours later, Chief Park and Agent Yoon had spent the entire time waiting in anxiety as they worried about team leader Kim and Chief Ahn. Since they could have their calls traced, they could not even make a phone call.

At that moment, a vehicle with its lights off had begun to approach them. Agent Yoon activated the night vision mode on his glasses and looked at the area. He immediately called Chief Park over.

"Chief."

"Yeah?"

"A car is approaching us without any lights on, sir."

If a vehicle was approaching them without any headlights on, it meant one of two things.. It was either the enemy or HQ.
