The One Who Sold The World - Part One

Reborn

Somewhere in the Philippine sea, more precisely, in the new Green Unicorn base, Erkan was waiting at the helipad, the plane from the Seychelles landed in the base, Ahab went off, then they went to each other and then hugged each other, "Good to see you my friend!". Said Ahab.

"How long have you been sleeping?!".

"It's been a long time I guess".

"Let's have a seat at your office and gather some old times!".

While they were walking toward the office, Ahab was enjoying his moment. He was completely surprised of his new base, but at the same time, he felt sad for what happened two years ago. Ahab sat at his desk, "Chief!" said Erkan. "There was some operation we had two years ago, right? We've lost it all that day, but now, you're not sleeping and we're not junkyard hounds, we're going to make them give back our past, you saw this base? It's our new home, they said that the unicorn can travel fast and so we are, we are going to rebuild our base, make it bigger and bigger, better than before!".

"Erkan... what should I do?".

"Do like the true leader does, in any case chief, I need to discuss with you a few things, it concerns the running of the new mother base".

"Mother base?".

"Yeah, we're going to change our policy. You know? In the battlefield, the one who has more information has the upper hand and maybe wins the battle at the end, we will expand our field of vision all around the world, we'll start gathering intel from Asia".

"But how?".

"Have you ever realized that we don't know virtually nothing about our enemy? And how did they manage to knock on the door of our base in Turkey in the first place? You know, our big mistake was relying on the country too much, they knew everything they needed to know about us, what we were doing, even who we really are, we completely forgot the underworld".

"The real underworld you mean, it's true we dealt with few things beneath, but we were pirates, maybe we thought that the pirates nowadays don't belong to this underworld, but we were a little bit careless, we made ourselves believing that we know much, but actually we didn't, as you said, we couldn't know anything about what is this new enemy really, what's his name, what's he doing, what does he wants from us, but I think we've learned our lesson well".

"That's it, chief! So, in this new world order, you're going to need something too strong to stay behind you, but when one of the kings stands behind you, it's another story".

"Hm?".

"Everyone knows that there are only two kings in the world, each one has an important role to play and even the world government itself won't dare to get close to them, I guess you already met one of them, right?".

"The Wings of Heaven, huh? Well, thanks to them, we're still alive".

"There's another, you know them too, The Silver Swords, when their leader retired, the sight was getting more on Wings of Heaven, but before, everyone was knowing the Silent Blade Ken, some were calling him in the underworld as the Silent Ripper, you remember when the whole world was terrified when they hear the both names, Scarlet and Samurai Ken $, it was like one holding the front and the other holding behind, it's only then when the world government knew its defeat, but unfortunately, that control didn't last long, Scarlet died and right after, Ken disappeared, rumors were saying that he died after, the world government thought that they cleared the mess, but looks like winds blow counter to what ships desire, this has caused the new era of pirates in the twenty first century, by the way, things at the Silver Swords are being held by the second man, I mean the new leader Julius Letholdus".

"How did you know all that?".

"Thanks to them, we were able to build a mother base this far, they have offered me a forwarding operating base in the Philippine sea, it was a golden opportunity not to be missed and with the support of their allies in Japan, we managed to make it bigger a little bit".

"Nice!".

"But apart from that, we need to dig a little about what actually happened two years ago, we need to find out who was behind the attack".

"I've already known who was behind the attack, someone with the codename The Fallen, he's well known in the underworld".

"What? The Fallen was behind the attack?".

"You knew about him?".

"I heard that name when we went beneath before, as you said, he's pretty famous in the underworld, according to some people, he's the chain commander of the majority of the bad guys in the world, but the question is, what did he want from us?".

"He didn't want anything from us, he wanted something else, I mean something and someone".

"I get it, you mean our Skywalker project, but who is this someone?".

"Pretty obvious, his target was Vuslat, I don't know if he's been taken from him or he escaped during the attack".

"I see, while I was working on our new base, I was looking for any survivors from the attack and I wasn't able to find any trace of Vuslat, is he captured by the Fallen? Speaking of survivors, where's Ebru, why didn't she come with you?".

"She's dead...".

"What?! You were both alive when I left the hospital!" said surprisingly.

"She was saved from death once and did it again but the third was different, on the day we were supposed to leave, she died".

"God... what a loss..." he felt so sad.

"Things were too strange, no, it stills, on that day, I was being pursued by an unknown unit, thanks to that girl who came and rescued me, she was a member of Wings of Heaven".

"They came after you in Cyprus? Is it the Fallen?".

"I thought the same way too, but I have some kind of intuition that the person who attacked us two years ago and who came after us in Dhekelia are different".

"Someone else besides the Fallen? I'm pretty sure that even the other pirates who were the same as us realize that we were wiped out from the map, so who could be after us? By the way, how did you escape from them?".

"I told you, I was rescued by Wings of Heaven, but the strange thing, the unit went away after, I mean they didn't come after us along the way to the Seychelles, I felt like they were just trying to gain some time".

"Are you trying to say that it was just an act to hide something else?".

"Yes, but I'm not sure".

"Hm... anyway chief! I've prepared some missions for you to handle, here they are'', the screen showed up, "Which one you accept is your call, once you made the decision, you can access to all the details of the mission on your Intelzilla, besides, the Green Unicorn has to get bigger, like any organization we need good people, why don't you try to bring some people from your missions to our base and then we can see if they have the necessary skills to join the ranks of The Green Unicorn, I'll leave the method up to you, also, maybe there will be a coincidence where you find one of the survivors two years ago, the more people we have, the more strength we gain".

"Got it!".

"When you are ready, you can call the chopper from your Intelzilla". Erkan left the office.

Moments later, Ahab made a decision and called the chopper, then he went towards the mission's destination.
