~Private Jet~
Meanwhile, up in the sky, a Crimson Elite platoon, along with Akane and Nazuna, is making their way to Kambezi right now.
Akane: *Reading an article* Well, our job has already gotten difficult.
Nazuna: What do you mean?
Akane: There's an article about a Scandinavian scout program visiting Kambezi today.
Nazuna: So?
Akane: So, there'll be more people visiting the reserves, which means it'll be easy for poachers to get caught in the act. Including our guys.
Nazuna: Won't make much of a difference. We're armed, they're not.
Female: Unless you count... "you-know-who".
Akane: ... You mean... Kid Zap?
Female: Of course. He's not one to carry a gun, but he does have those powers of his.
Nazuna: He wears a cowboy hat and he doesn't carry a gun? *Scoffs* And he calls himself a "cowboy".
Female: Regardless, he still needs to be taken seriously, especially considering how he took on and defeated three of the platoons. Kiyotaka in Universal City; Arisu in San Francisco; and Kakeru in the Phillipines.
Akane: There's also the fact that three of our own defected to his side.
Female: Oh, I know, Akane. Maya wanted out of our shenanigans; Masumi was working undercover under her orders; and somehow, Torres got into Shiho's head. Heh. That one in particular has been an... inspiration for me. He got into our heads. So, I suggest that...
*Camera pans to reveal...*
Honami: ...we return the favor.
Nazuna: How?
Honami: We're going to kidnap someone close to him. And when he tries to rescue them... *Pulls out a combat knife* ...we'll gut them.
Akane & Nazuna: ... *Gulp*
Honami: As of right now, we're the Crimson Elite's only hope in finishing off that rascal and his band of do-whatever-the-hell-you-want. And it should be easy to lure him in. He's always a supporter of wildlife. So, our poaching trade should catch his eye.
Akane: But he only supports from afar. And he's been trying to avoid us after the last few conflicts. How could he come all the way to Africa?
Honami: Trust me. There's no way he could resist this opportunity.
Pilot (Over the speakers): Attention, we are now making our descent to Kambezi. Please remain seated and fasten your seatbelts.
*Everyone does so*
Honami: He may be the type to "just help out", but when animal lives are on the line, he just can't pass that up either.
