Infiltration

The Mission

At this time, a big private military group called the Ptolemaic Army has control over the whole continent of Asia. This group is known for their violent religion, and they force civilians to work under them. Women and children are also forced into slavery, making them believe that they are contributing to the future of world peace.

Due to the growing power of the Ptolemaic Army, there are local powers who took interest in this. Situated near the borders of the Ptolemaic Army's territory, Shizuka was contacted to assassinate the leaders as well as steal some of their exquisite technology.

"We heard you're one of the best assassins in the world. We will pay you a big sum for this work we're about to give you." complimented the broker.

"I need numbers." the stern Shizuka replied, seemingly not to care at all until she hears the exact amount of money she will receive for this work.

She was playing with one of her explosive knives as she let the knife playfully dance around her fingers.

"A hundred million US Dollars."

Even Shizuka did not expect such an amount. Just what do these people want me to do, Shizuka thought. She placed the knife into the hilt, and directly faced the broker.

"I'm listening." asked Shizuka curiously.

The broker told her directly the objectives of her mission. It was too simple for the price, but she is dealing with a big military group after all.

"Get the blueprints of their technology, and assassinate the big two. Is that all?"

The broker agreed.

"We're willing to pay extra if you sabotage their facilities. Basically, all the extra work that will benefit us will not go unnoticed."

"I see. Leave it to me."

Once the broker nodded, Shizuka exited and prepared for her task. She went straight back to her home. Her home is decorated with the usual cute stuff. It is generally painted with different shades of pink with faded yellow in some parts. Her house stands out, and one will never ever think the most deadly assassin lived here.

Behind her house is a backyard, an actual garden filled with different flowers. There is a hatch on the far end, and through this Shizuka entered.

This is a way towards her secret base where her deadly weapons are displayed. This is also where she does her personal research for innovative assassinations. So far, she has managed to equip and wire her knives with explosive content.

From here, all her equipment and a wide array of tools exhibit themselves in front of her. She decided to at least wear light armor for this mission. She might need to fight an army if things went wrong.

"I wonder... I still need to bake later." she thought to herself.

At the very moment of deciding her equipment for the mission, she was quickly reminded that she needs to bake cupcakes for her friends. She grabbed her phone and texted them that she will make them later, then visit them at the nearest park available to them.

"Where was I? O-Oh... How forgetful of me." she said with a smile, actually more excited with hanging out with her friends than the mission.

As she remembered, she removed her usual business outfit: a dark business suit along with a tight skirt and black low heel pumps. She got herself naked and wore an old body-to-hip chainmail, then she grabbed the armored ninja garb left to her by an old master.

She became nostalgic for a bit, but then snapped out of it quickly. She wore a ninja mask and swiftly geared her weapons, placing them in all over her body. The armored ninja garb is designed to be heavily equipped with a lot of materials for a mission. While agility is sacrificed, she knows she will still be able to move swiftly.

Lastly, she glanced over to a short katana. She moved closely to, and gently held the hilt. She would grab it instantly and then swing the sword more than three times in a blink of an eye.

"I never wanted to dirty this sword with blood, but whatever..."
