Prologue

 

"Enemy convoy spotted, ETA twenty minutes."

"Roger that, do a close follow on the convoy, mark all drivers as targets."

"Understood."

A few moments afterwards.

"Targets marked, pulling out."

"Ten-four, commencing attack."

Silenced sniper shots could be heard nearby, each round silently crashing through the front windshield of the vehicles.

"Targets eliminated, get the package."

A man jumped down from the top of a nearby building, taking out the confused guards quickly. He reached into the cab of one of the Jeeps and grabbed a metal suitcase, got into another jeep, and speed off.

"I've got the package, heading to evac point, ETA thirty-min - GAH!" He swerved and crashed into the cliff on the left side of the road after he had gotten shot. A man walked up to the totaled  Jeep and grabbed the suitcase.

"Kaizuma, you're making a big mistake, you'll kill millions!"

"My invention will end wars, not start them, Arima!"...

..."Agent zero-zero-two-one-six, do you copy?"

Chapter 1

 

"I've got eyes on the enemy outpost, activating cloak." Snow tampered with the interface on his exo-armor, activating his cloak before he jumped down. 

Snow Kazuki is an anthro fox with white fur and sapphire-blue eyes. He was the division's best field agent and had taken over Arima Kagaki's role after he was assumed dead.

"Roger that. Remember, ghost kills only if and when necessary."

"Affirmative, over and out." Snow began walking after looking around the area. He quickly brushed past two guards and leaned on the cold, steel wall. 

"C'mon, any minute now." He whispered to himself, gripping a smooth metal ball. A third guard came walking out of the door and Snow threw the ball in between the three of them once the third one joined the others. He ducked inside before the door closed as the three guards lay on the ground from paralysis. 

"Alright, I'm in, what am I looking for?" 

"Not what, who. Kaizuma and his men had captured doctor Narzu Kosagi and taken him hostage. We need you to get him out of there before he gives off some very sensitive intel."

"Grab Dr. Kosagi and leave, understood." Snow hacked the camera systems using his interface and displayed them on his visor. Eventually, he found Dr. Kosagi in a secure room with four enemies.

"I've located the hostage, sending the location." He pulled out his SK-9, which is a nine-millimeter pistol, and headed through the steel hallways. He turned a corner and quickly ducked back behind it after seeing a patrol heading his way.

"I can't wait until we move out of here, these steel walls make this place really cold at night." said one of the guards.

"Yeah, not only that, we won't have to stay up all night patrolling like this." the other one continued.

Snow let the two of them pass and continued on his mission. Once he found the room, he placed four bombs on the door, one on each corner, and detonated a mute charge. The bombs blew the door of with no sound and Snow charged in.

Five seconds left, two guards down.

Three seconds left, the other two guards were shot dead.

Two seconds, Snow grabbed Dr. Kosagi and ran out the door. He was already down the metal hallway when the mute charge timed-out. A loud explosion finally split the air as Snow Kazuki turned a corner, running for the exit with Dr. Kosagi close behind. Two men jumped out in front of the exit and Snow pushed Dr. Kosagi past them before they could stop him. He then spun around, kicking the one on the right square in the stomach and sending him into the steel wall behind him. The other guard swung at him, but Snow grabbed his wrist, lifting him up and twisting it before he threw the man back on the ground with a spine-splitting crack sound.

Snow hurried out and ran to the nearby cliff, turning to Dr. Kosagi. 

"Trust me," is all he said before he grabbed the doctor and jumped. The two of them were free falling and just as the doctor thought he was sure he was going to die, a Havoc showed up through the misty fog. It opened its bay door and the pair was inside in a hurry. 

"Need a lift?" the pilot joked.

"Always right on time, Kosei."

"Only for you brother!" They both laughed next to a terrified Dr. Kosagi.

Kosai Kazuki is Snow's younger brother. He has a gray-ish tint to his fur and emerald-green eyes. He is a member of Snow's team, usually seen driving them to and from places.

After a little while of flying, Kosei spoke through the radio, "This is Kosei Kazuki, Pilot one-one-two-four, requesting a landing. Again, Pilot one-one-two-four to HQ, requesting a landing."

"You are in the clear soldier, you know you don't need to do that, right Kazuki?"

"I know, just keeping with protocol, sir."

"As usual, Kosei Kazuki always with protocol," they laughed.

Snow, Kosei, and Dr. Kosagi walked out of the bay door, Kosagi still shaking. Both Snow and Kosei quickly rendered a salute as Corporal Sanders came walking up. 

"And that's why we send these guys for the job!" he hollered, "at ease agents."

Suddenly, Dr. Kosagi spoke up with a stutter, "M-my sister is in danger."

"Not any more, look." Sanders said as another Havoc landed next to theirs and the other half of Snow's team came walking out with Mary Kosagi. They joined Snow and Kosei and the team had a small celebration  while Mary and Narzu hugged. 

"You all are on the Elite for a damn good reason. Mary, Narzu, you will be staying here for a while, so make yourself at home." Cpl. Sanders spoke up.
