"Whew, that was very boring," I admitted, as soon as I got off of the Overwatch helicopter. Soldier: 76 followed suit. We were officially in Japan, where one of the first original robots were created. We got here via the Overwatch helicopter, piloted by Pilot.

When I realised that, I asked when did he get a new one.

"Well, Overwatch has good funds, that's all," was the only reply he gave to me.

"Okay, don't engage with the enemy unless it is necessary," Soldier: 76 told me.

"Gotcha," I replied.

"Pilot, you hear me?" 76 asked via the wrist watch Winston made. Not just to tell the time of the world, but to also act as a walkie-talkie.

"I hear ya," was Pilot's reply.

"Good. Get us as soon as I said so."

"Understood, old man."

Before 76 could pull his rifle out, Pilot had gotten the helicopter away from us. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"What's so funny, Xiura?" 76 asked.

"Sorry, 7-6. Let's focus on the mission, shall we?" I asked, smiling.

"Fine."

"So do you know where the Shimadas live?" I asked, looking at him.

"Amélie gave us coordinates which might lead to them as she was there before," 76 replied.

"Well, whaddya know? She is Talon's best sniper, so she probably was assigned to kill someone of the Shimada Crime Family."

"Actually, she did."

"What the hell?! That was a guess! I didn't expect that to be correct."

Boy, was I shocked. 76 chuckled this time.

"You sure are an interesting person," he told me.

"Aw shucks. When will we move?" I asked.

"Right. Let's go."

We both began to walk, and I honestly began to wonder.

"Hey, 7-6. How about your rifle? isn't it illegal for you to bring a rifle to a country?" I asked.

"I think it'll be fine," he replied quickly. I then heard a rustle, and I looked behind. Nothing. Must be a cat going into a bush or something.

"Something in your mind?" 76 asked.

"No-"

I was cut off as my vision turned black.
