     We arrive back at Hereford. I get my gun and hop off of the chopper. I give my gun to Ace and he holds onto it. I walk into the building and give Harry a quick report. The other 4 have gone to their dorms. I walk into Mira and I's. She's not here at the moment, so I decide to play some Zombies. I manage to get through Revelations solo, flawlessly. She walks in at the moment I finish off the Shadowman and the cutscene starts. I get up and walk over to greet her. We hug for a bit then she throws me onto the couch. I yell as I fall onto the couch. She sits on top of me and we start to make out. After about 5 minutes, we peel apart. I wipe my lips off. She does the same. She starts to take off her clothes, then there's a knock at the door. She stops and gets off of me. I get the door as she fixes her clothes. I'm suddenly attacked by every single female operator there is. I fall to the floor amidst this attack. Mira tries to get them to go away. They don't stop. They all want to kiss me or hug me or something along those lines. One of them, I can't tell who, is trying to take off her clothes. I take out Ace. "Ace of Spades! The World!" I say. Time doesn't stop. "Fuck, I managed to get that to work a little while ago. Oh well." I use Ace to punch all of the girls off of me. I pull out a 9 of Hearts and heal all of the girls. Almost like Crazy Diamond, I think to myself. I manage to get them all out of the door and shut it. "What was that about?" Mira asks angrily. "I have no clue, love," I say. I think she picked up the bit of panic in my voice, and she started yelling at me. "If you don't know, why are you panicking?" She yells. "Because Ace couldn't use The World! If he could, we could have been out of this mess way easier." I say. "Who's Ace and what's The World?" She asks annoyed. I bring Ace out and explain everything I did to the other 4 who went on the mission. I also tell her the tale of Jotaro Kujo, Joseph Joestar, Noriaki Kakyoin, Mohammad Avdol, Jean Pierre Polnareff, Iggy, DIO, and I. The other girls break the door down. I manage to stop time for a bit. I put the door back up and bring the girls in, and hop on top of a cabinet. Time begins to move again. The girls are in the room and I'm on a cabinet, out of reach. "Alright, what do you all want with me?" I ask them. I get no response. They manage to knock the cabinet down. I leap off of it as it falls and I fly through the door. I catch the wall and slide down. I run toward the cafe. Once I do, I push the doors open and wait to the side of the door. I sneak away and go up a ladder onto the roof. I text Mira and she comes up to meet me. "Damn. That was crazy. What do they want?" I ask. I hear Ela respond. "Those girls aren't our operators. They got kidnapped. The only reason we haven't been called out to find them is that they're 'here' and we don't know where they might be. Ash appears behind us. The rest of the fakes do as well. "Oh, fuck. Well, now that I know you're fake, prepare to die." I say. They all rush me. I chuckle. "Ace!" I say. He comes out. I can hear my theme playing (Above.) The fakes hesitate a little bit. They shake it off and continue their rush. Once they're within 2 feet, I call it. "The World!" I say and time stops again. I get my knife and start going through the crowd and slashing the fakes.  Once I slash the last one, time starts to move again. I walk back to the front of the crowd. "Well, that took only 5 seconds?" I say. They fall apart. (Stop song if you wish.) "Robots." Ela says. I pick up an arm off of the Ash. I peel off the paint and clothes. I read a serial number. I look at it a little closer. "England, about 5 miles away from here." I say. "How many kilometers?" Mira and Ela both say. "Uh, I think 8 kilometers." I say. They nod and we hop in Ela's car. I see that it's a Thunderbird. "Damn! That's a nice car, Ela." I tell her. "Thanks, now, let's go." She says. Ela and Mira are in the front. I sit in the back. Ela and Mira have their guns. "Fuck. I don't have a gun." I say. "Do we need to go back?" Ela says. "No, I have an Ace up my sleeve. Two, actually." I say. "Alright, here we go." Ela says. We're gone and we arrive at where the parts came from in 3 minutes. We jump out and make a plan. I go through the top while Mira goes from behind and Ela in front. I rappel up and go through a hatch on the roof. I see some terrorists and take them out with my playing cards. I retrieve the cards and I move on. I investigate the entire top floor. Ela says the front half of the bottom floor is clear. All we hear from Mira is static. I listen closely and hear a gunshot and a scream. "ACE! ZA WARUDO!" I say. Time stops and I run to the back half of the bottom floor. I make it in time, and I see Mira has been shot in the leg. I pull one of Ace's cards. Time moves again"An Ace of Spades!" I yell. (Play the song again.) Ace goes berserk and starts beating the guy. "SUKA! SUKA! SUKA! SUKA! SUKA! BLYAT!" I say as Ace beats the guy into nothing. Using the 2 remaining seconds, Ace heals Mira. Once the 9 seconds have passed, Ace disappears and I go over to Mira. (You can stop the song.) "Are you alright?" I ask her. She grabs onto me and pulls me into a hug. I pick her up. She seems to not be able to talk. She points to a white sheet. I peek behind it. "Yare yare," I say. The real female ops are fully naked behind the sheet. I stop peeking it. "Well, now what?" I say as Ela appears. "How the? Oh well. Now, what's the situation?" She asks. I tell her. "Oh, fuck." She says. She seems to get sick. She goes over to a corner and throws up. "Well, it's just me again." I say. I put Mira down and Ace gives me my Argus. I open the curtain and kill any terrorists. I have my eyes closed, so Ace helps me see them. As I kill them, the girls escape. Once I kill the last one, I help the females get dressed in some clothes. "Yare yare daze." I say. Once the last one gets some clothes on, I radio Delta and Jager. Jager flies a chopper over and Delta helps some of the ladies on. I stay and keep watch for any other terrorists. Mira and Ela are questioning the other ops as to what happened. None of them are talking. Well, fuck. Once the last op is on board, I hop on and hang out and lean out. Why is that place so damn familiar? Oh well. Let's just get back to base and figure all of this out. Today's already been a headache as it is. I get into the chopper and doze off, my hat over my face.


     I wake up when the chopper lands. I'm getting really good at that. I help the girls off of the chopper and into the building. "Son of a bitch," I say. Mira walks up and puts her arms around me. "Thanks for saving me." She says. "No problem. What kind of a husband would I be if I didn't? I actually stopped time in order to save you. I guess if I use The World, it has to be a moment of extreme stress, almost like Bites the Dust." I explain. She seems to be understanding more about Stands. "I think there was an animation made about Jotaro's journey to Egypt," I say. We walk to our room. I look it up. "Well, I'll be damned. I found it." I say to Mira. She makes a bowl of popcorn and we sit together and watch the show.
