=== RHODES ISLAND ===


"Skadi, you're taking point."

She ran to the head of the group. In reality, she was holding back to keep pace with everyone. Her special physique would've been too much for them to keep up with.

"Blaze, you're going to act as support for her."

Blaze didn't take well to that.

"Why do I have to be the support?!" She complained on the mic while running behind Skadi.

"You know Skadi can't fight at full strength with someone near her."

"I'm just as capable..." Blaze grumbled. Just because Skadi was stronger than basically everyone at Rhodes Island didn't mean she was any more effective than the rest of them. In fact, the girl was known for making lots of collateral damage.

"It's also because you can trap the enemy commander. If he tries to escape, you can set the street on fire."

Blaze hummed. Amiya was right. With her around, the enemy would have significantly less options available to them.

"Ace, can you lead Skadi and Blaze against the enemy commander? I will be coordinating the other teams."

"Of course. I'll do my best, Amiya." The last member of their group accepted the responsibility. Out of the three, Ace had the most seniority and experience on the battlefield. Amiya couldn't always keep watch over them while she and the Doctor led the others.

The plan was simple. Isolate the commander from reinforcements, then Skadi and Blaze would initiate contact and take him down.

Simple enough. Especially when the enemy commander was only a kid.

Seriously, why is the Reunion putting children this young into these positions?

Blaze saw how young he was. The teen was older than Rosmontis and a tad bit over Amiya. Then again, Rhodes Island also put an adolescent in charge of the organization...

"So what's the plan? We're just going in? Anything we know about this commander?"

"He's always surrounded by these weird guards with crystals on them. He showed up with a small group at the start but they've been steadily increasing in number. Some of them have LGD uniforms, so we're assuming that this is some form of Arts that takes over the host."

"Mutants? He's creating mutants?!" Blaze didn't like the sound of that. It was like a scene out of a horror movie.

"That's most likely the case. We don't know much about their combat ability. Use precaution when engaging him in combat."

Well that was reassuring. Amiya just sent them to deal with an enemy they had little info on.

Not that it was the first time they went in blind.

Blaze's lip curled. If Skadi couldn't deal with the problem, then she'd just let all hell loose.

"Amiya, we're allowed to go all out right?" Rhodes Island had protocols. As long as the mission did not require them to kill, then the operators preferred not to. Normal circumstances applied, if they were under threat, then killing in self-defense was allowed.

"Use all means possible to capture the commander. We need the information."

They were fine as long as they didn't land critical injuries on the commander.
