"Man, it's really pouring hard out here.. hope I don't catch anything," Diana stated as she looked around and observed the streets of Tokyo, Japan. The 18-year-old sat by her lonesome for the time being and had already ordered a cup of oolong tea to warm her up a bit. She was clad in a jet black trench coat with an all-black, leather catsuit that zipped up in the front and knee-high leather boots to compliment the whole look. A great way to blend in with the darkness of night, especially for a reason as deadly as this one. Diana Bardot, a trained assassin that works for Murk Incorporated, has been assigned yet another assignment to eradicate a group of rivals that were going to get in the way of her boss's plans. Digging in her trench pocket, she pulls out a pair of black sunglasses and unfolds them before sliding them onto her smooth, toffee-colored face. As Diana takes another sip from her tea, a voice could be heard through the dark grey earpiece she was wearing. "Hey, boo thang~ what' cha drinking?" A bubbly voice from the other end asked. This mission required more than one person to take down at least twenty people, so they had Isis come along with her. Her brains and skills with a sniper rifle were very much needed on this assignment. "Hm?~ oh, just enjoying a nice, warm cup of oolong. I would order you a cup, but you seem..occupied~" Diana smirked before pushing her glasses down just enough for her hazel-brown eyes to peek over the rim. Looking up, she sees her partner up on a rooftop clad in the same clothing and colors as her. "Aww, what? Man, I would kill for a cup of oolong. No pun intended~.." Isis snickered at her own joke. "Nah, but that's not why I contacted you. I have the location and approximate time the vans should be showing up. Remember, two jet black vans with tinted windows and silver rims." The blue-haired female mentioned while checking her laptop to see where the vans were right now. She checks in with the boss then reloads her sniper rifle. "When this shit starts and if I get caught up, you better be ready to bust in with guns-a-slinging, alright?" Diana inquired with some nervousness in her voice. With every mission she's on, fear is the main factor on her mind with the thought of not coming back alive, but she never shows it. "Of course babe, what kind of best friend would I be if I let you die?" They both share a chuckle and Diana sighs with relief. "Hold up.." Isis ceases her chuckling and checks her computer again. "Two jet black Ram ProMasters coming in hot. You ready for this?" She asked the curly-haired woman on the other end. Finishing up her tea, she leaves a tip on the table for the waiter. Her eyes scan the streets and spot two vans pulling up next to an old warehouse a few blocks down. "Ready as I'll ever be~.." Diana replied as she adjusted her coat and started walking down the street towards the warehouse, making sure she wasn't noticed."𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘱."

This was it, here and now the job was going to be done without any hesitation. Isis repositioned her rifle and equipment as she watched Diana walk up to the abandoned building that looked run down and decrepit. The vans slowly pulled up in front of the building as the pitter-patter of rain hit the roofs of the vehicles. Diana was hiding around the corner and would momentarily peek her head out to see how many guys there were. Groups of five came out of each van, adding up to ten men to take out. Of course, it couldn't be that easy, there were probably more inside the building. After the vans were cleared out and no one else was outside, Diana creeps along the wall and peeps through one of the nearby windows. There stood the ten men including the five that were already in there. The men conversate amongst themselves while various documents and important-looking files were being passed back and forth. "Here, I got more information on this 'Hachiman' person. The sooner we get these files back to Mr. Agony, the better." One of the men sneered to the other. This could be valuable information to Metrix. Diana buzzed in on her earpiece and whispered the news to Isis. "They have some sort of dirt to bring down that guy Metrix has been complaining about. I'll snag those after we deal with these assholes." Isis replied back with a grunt of agreement before looking through her scope. "Adam, you and Ron guard the front doors, make sure no one comes in." A tall, lean man demands and two buffer looking guys nod their heads before heading back out the front. "Get ready to snipe, you got two coming out your way." Diana quietly warns Isis. "Wait for my signal.." The men, not knowing their fates, step back outside and block the doorway, looking around to see if any suspicious activity was going on. Removing her sunglasses and trench coat, Diana raises her hand up in the air and nods her head up at Isis to give her the 'ok'. Nodding, the skilled sniper aims right between one of the men's eyes and focuses on her target. Then, after pulling the trigger, his now lifeless body drops to the ground and the body of the other one soon followed closely behind. "Right on~.." Isis praised herself as she quickly reloaded. "Now, these files have little information on Hachiman, but that doesn't mean we can't work off of that. We still don't know what he looks like without the suit on, so right now that's our priority." The man explains to the other men with as they take note. "Hey, go out to the van and get the rest of the documents, would you?" He said as he took out a cigar and a lighter that wouldn't light. "And for god's sake, bring me back a working lighter!" The scrawny man nods his head and ambles towards the entrance to retrieve what was asked. "The hell?! We've got dead men out here!!" The startled male exclaimed as he backed away from the bodies. They were both shot in the head, right between the eyes. Before Isis could have another chance at ending yet another life, the man runs back in to tell the others what he saw. "Sir! Sir, they're both dead! The guys that were supposed to guard the front doors are dead on the ground with bullet holes in their skulls!" Quickly, Diana looks around for something to break the window and sees a wooden chair with three of its chair legs still attached to it. She grabs the chair and swiftly throws it through the window, shattering the glass and alerting the rest of the men inside. They all had their guns out and ready. "It's a fucking ambush! Watch your backs, everyone!" One of the men crept towards the broken window to inspect what exactly happened only to witness a small, round ball being thrown through the window. Before he could react, the ball exploded and grey smoke emitted from the explosion. "Smoke bomb! Goddamnit!" The men began to cough and waved their hands in the air to get rid of the smoke faster. "I'm going in, wish me luck.." Diana grunted. Taking out her mask and sliding it on her face so that she wouldn't be recognized, she gracefully jumps through the window and rolled, quickly balancing back on her feet and with a quickness, taking out her dual handguns before firing three shots in the first three guys she sees. "One of them's inside, keep your guards up, men!" The smoke starts to clear up and everyone had their vision back, but it was a little blurry. As soon as they could see again, they began to shoot. Flipping over a table for cover, she dives behind it and waits for them to reload. Diana grips her two guns and pops out to get a few more shots in, a bullet hitting one right in the chest and one right in the face. She goes back down for cover and buzzes into Isis. "I have 8 more in here, come help me with this!" Barked Diana as she dodged a bullet that was too close to her head. "Be right there, hold out as best you can until then." The blue-haired female replied back before quickly opening up a suitcase that had two mini machine guns and more than enough ammo. The 8 men that still stood alive continued to empty clip after clip and made sure Diana didn't have a chance to come up. A little while later, the gunfire stops and one of the 8 men carefully and cautiously walks forward towards the flipped table. Diana had her fingers ready on the triggers, but before she could do anything, the front doors burst open and there stood Isis, dripping wet from the rain with her trench still on. All eyes were on her and the man that was inching closer to the table made the rookie mistake of turning his back. Reaching into her coat, she smirks at the 8 men. "What's...." she trails off with a raspy voice. At this time, she slowly began to take her guns out. "Poppin'?" A gust of wind blew in through the doors, two men both aimed their guns at Isis, but she reacts much quicker and gives them both a bullet in the kneecap. They both scream out in pain and drop on their asses. While everyone had their attention drawn to her, Diana made her move and slid her gun back in its holster around her thigh. She then pulls out her combat knife and hoists herself over the table and in an instant, slits the man's throat. Blood gushed out as he cupped his neck and gargled up blood trying to speak, but nothing came out. The man drops to his knees and as he was dying Isis finishes off the two she shot in the knees, leaving 5 left in the room with them. The women looked at each other then, as if it were an instinct, Diana picks up the table and slams it against two men, making them both stumble and fall underneath it. One of the taller and buffer looking men aim his pistol directly at Isis, but when he pulls the trigger all he could hear was a click. He wasted the rest of his bullets on Diana earlier. Smirking, Isis fires three shots into the unlucky man: a bullet on the abdomen, a bullet in the stomach, and a bullet in his skull. Diana places the gauge of the gun against the underside of the table and fires two shots, killing the men that were stuck on the other side of it. Two were left and they were dry on ammo. "Shit, we're not gonna make it. I'll call backup and-" he was interrupted with a bullet through his throat and dropped to the floor, choking on his own blood. The last man had a look of terror on his face now and made the mistake of reaching for his radio to call for more backup. Immediately, Isis throws another smoke bomb in his face to discombobulate him then follows with two gunshots to his chest. The grey smoke from the bomb soon vanishes and the room was quiet again. "See? Told you I had your back~" Isis marveled as she put her weapons away. She makes her way over to Diana, stepping over all the dead bodies on the floor, and holds her hand out for her to take in which she takes willingly. "Well, I never really doubted you. You got my back and I got yours, right?" Diana says with a toothy smile. Isis playfully nudges her friend's side while she takes her mask off. The porcelain Kitsune mask was a gift from the boss, but she only wore it to hide her identity whenever she went on missions like this. Hooking it back on her hip, she looks down and notices the documents that were being passed around earlier. "That's right! Now that the mission is completed, how about that oolong tea? Maybe on the way back to H.Q we can get some food too." Isis looks back at Diana and sees her looking through the documents after picking them up. "I'll meet you outside then after you're done catching up on your reading." She gives her a nerdy bow before exiting through the front doors. Flipping the pages with her thumb, Diana stops at a certain page that had a picture of Hachiman, or at least, his suit. It kind of reminded her of some futuristic type battle suit she's seen before on tv. "Not a bad design..." she says with slight admiration. "What an honor it would be to meet this guy.." Diana chimed before closing the document and hurried out of the warehouse to meet up with her blue-haired friend.
