Mekato wakes up, looking around in his office. Everything lays on the ground. He quickly dresses up and holsters his guns, Noticing how quiet it is.

"Hello? Anyone awake?" Mekato asked, looking around.

He saw Tumotu eating chips while watching TV, Shimona was cooking in the kitchen. But Fudo was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Fudo?" Mekato asked.

Shimona looked around. "Probably sleeping." Shimona then replied, as she continued with cooking.

"Fine, guess I'll have to check it out- " Just as Mekato was walking back and talking at the same time, he bumps into Fudo, hitting his nose.

Fudo falls on the ground and held his nose.

"Ouch! Watch out, you hit my nose." Fudo said, as he was holding his nose.

"Ah, sorry. I just wanted to come to your room and wake you up." Mekato said, as suddenly his radio started beeping from the other side of the living room.

"Who is it?" Shimona asked.

"Probably the commander." Mekato replied, as he grabbed the radio.

"Commander?..." Mekato asked while holding the radio.

The radio was still static as it later on connected.

"Is this Squad B-16?" A man said through the radio.

"Yeah, commander-"

"Eh, not the commander, but A-17." The radio replied.

Mekato's eyes lightened up "Squad A-17?!" He said in shock.

That was Mekato's old squad, who he had been working with before starting his own.

"Yep, that's us! We are coming by for a mission, you wouldn't mind, right?" The radio replied.

"We'll to be honest-" "Got it! We'll be there soon!" Mekato got interrupted by the man on the radio.

"Wait no, that is not what I meant- !" Just as Mekato wanted to explain the radio went static.

Mekato let out a sigh, as Fudo walked to him.

"Squad A-17, eh?" Fudo said.

"Are they coming or not?" Fudo followed up, asking Mekato.

Mekato was looking down, as Fudo slammed his hand on his shoulder.

"Don't get bummed! It'll be fine to see your old squad again!" Fudo replied excited.

"Old squad? So you know the squad, Mekato?" Tumotu asked.

"Not only Mekato, but me too." Fudo said, proudly.

"What was it like, working with your old squadmates?" Tumotu asked.

"Not that great, at the time there was a war, but we made it because of our teamwork." Mekato explained.

"What kind of weapon did you guys use then?" Tumotu asked.

"Me and Fudo still use the same weapon, but the other two used a Sniper Rifle and a Dagger." Mekato said.

Later on the door rings, as Shimona walks to the door. She opens the door to see two people, a man with a bandana and the other with glasses.

"Yamato, Kimari, come in!" Shimona greeted them happily, as they both walked in.

"Yo." Yamato said, waving to the others in the living room.

"Hey, A-17. Good memories, eh?" Fudo said, happily.

"Yes it was, but we have no time to look at the past. We got a big problem." Kimari said.

"Explain." Mekato replied, as they all walked to a table.

"Looks like the Fallen Vex planted giant drill's all around the place, and they aren't that small either." Yamato explained, showing a picture of a giant drill, filled with guards.

"Well, what do you want to do about it?" Fudo asked.

"Destroy it of course, we got our hands to a Hydraulic Bomb." Kimari replied.

"Yeah, that would be enough to destroy the drill, but you said multiple." Mekato replied back.

"Yeah we know, but those are either too far or other squads are sabotaging them." Yamato replied.

"So, we're doing like some kind of stealth mission?" Shimona asked.

"I guess so, but, aren't we with six? Isn't that too much?" Tumotu asked.

"Good question, that is why Shimona, Fudo, you and me are going to guard the place. We will make sure no one necessary gets inside while Mekato and Kimari plant the bomb." Yamato explained.

"Sounds like a plan, when are we going?" Fudo asked.

"Today, when the sun sets down, then we will strike." Yamato replied. Mekato looks at his watch, it's still 8:00 in the morning, they'll have to wait for a while.

"Mekato, can we talk for a minute?" Yamato asks.

"Oh- Sure..." Mekato replies, as they both walk into the hallway.

"What is it that you want to talk about?" Mekato asked.

Yamato shows the bomb.

"It's about the bomb, it has a really short fuse… So if anything happens..." Yamato said, looking down.

"W- What? It's fine. Nothing bad is gonna happen, trust me." Mekato said, cheering him up.

"But what if-"

"I said it's fine, it's my responsibility to make sure everything goes better than perfect." Mekato interrupted Yamato.

Yamato lets out a sigh, then looks at Mekato. "No bad feeling about this, got it?" Mekato said, cheering him up once more. Yamato, who was still unsure about it, nods. "Good, let's go back." Mekato said, as they walked back to the rest…

23:00

At the border of Object: Drill.

Finally, back together Mekato thought, following the rest from behind as they ran into the border closest to the drill. With the combination of squad A-17 and B-16, nothing could go wrong, right? Mekato thought once again, as they stopped running and started scouting the place. The place was heavily armed, but it wasn't impossible.

"I can snipe the persons in the way from this distance, Tumotu, Fudo and Shimona stay here. While Kirami and Mekato go in." Yamato whispered, as he put a suppressor on his rifle.

"Ahww, what? I wanted to plant the bomb." Fudo whispered unhappy.

"Nope, not happening." Mekato whispered back.

"Just stop bragging and go." Tumotu interrupted them both, as Kimari and Mekato headed closer to the place.

"Kimari, this way." Mekato whispered, as they walked around the place, doding the guards.

Mekato grabs both his pistols, putting a suppressor on both of them.

"Just like old times, eh?" Mekato whispered to Kimari.

"Just like old time it is." Kimari whispered happily back.

They walk into the Main Building of the drill, while Yamato snipes out some of the guards in the way.

"Plant the bomb in here, it will cause a meltdown and the drill will be useless." Kimari explained.

"Got it." Mekato replies, as Mekato grabs his bomb and plants it.

He notices the fuse has 3 minutes. Mekato pulls out the safety, and pulls the trigger.

The bombs starts counting down.

"Let's go back qui- !?" Just as mekato turns back a table flies his way.

"Mekato!" Kimari shouts, as she notices Mekato barely dodged it.

They look at the group of guards at the gate. One of them is a muscled man, he looked like the guard officer, as he charged with a spiked bat at Mekato. The man swings his bat, but Mekato dodges it. Mekato then tackles the man, making him fall to the ground, the other guards charge too, as Mekato fires his pistols at them.

"If we don't get out of here fast, we're gonna get cooked." Kimari shouted, as she was dodging the attacks of other guards.

"Thanks for reminding me!" Mekato shouts back, as suddenly the officer grabs Mekato's leg, slamming him into the ground.

Mekato drops both his pistols as the officer grabs one, he aims at Mekato. Mekato grabs the pistol, pulling it away from his face. Mekato's grip loosened and his hand slipped. The man then was about to pull the trigger, until suddenly a knife hit his back. The man fell on Mekato, Mekato then noticed Kimari threw the knife.

"Let's go, no time to waste!" She shouted, as she defeated the last guards.

Mekato pulls the body away, as Kimari looked at her. Mekato's eyes widened up, as one of the guards had standed up aiming his rifle to Kimari. Mekato pushed Kimari away, but fell too. At that time Mekato grabbed a knife from Kimari's belt and threw it at the guards face with his right hand.

"Woah… That was a close one- !!" While Mekato was talking he noticed Kimari was blushing.

Mekato slowly looked down, noticing his left hand was on her chest.

"Oh- Ehh-"

"PERVERT!!"

Smack!

- - - - -

"What is taking them so long?" Yamato thought, as he looked around.

He was getting nervous but then he saw Mekato and Kimari run outside. But his eyes widened up as he saw a wounded officer with a knife on his back, who was carrying the bomb they dropped. Yamato laid his finger on his earpiece.

"Behind you guys!" He shouted.

Mekato looked behind him.

"Oh, god dang it!" He shouted as they both started running faster. But Kimari stopped.

"I… I'm too tired." Kimari mumbled.

Mekato suddenly grabbed Kimari, as he continued running.

"Y- You pervert!" Kimari shouted.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Mekato shouted.

As they were running a bullet flied next to them, hitting the bomb in the hands of the guard. The bomb explodes, the blast radius then flings Mekato and Kimari further away. Everything is white and Mekato only hears a beep in his ear. Moments pass by, as he slowly opens his eyes. He notices the rest is fine, even Kimari.

"Wait what? Why aren't you in a bed? Weren't you wounded too?" Mekato asked.

Kimari smirked "I can regenerate, remember?" Kimari said proudly.

"Oh yeah… Am I glad." Mekato said, letting out a sigh.

"...P- Pervert..." Kimari mumbled.

"T- That was to save your life!" Mekato quickly replied.

"Well, I didn't need your help, Hmpf!" Kimari replied, crossing her arms and looking the other way.

The others started to laugh, Mekato and Kimari ended up laughing too...
