Mission I

Within a large airplane, flying first class, two youths were sitting in their seats with loads of snacks before them.

The first was a youth with pure white wings behind his back. A golden halo shone over his head and his long hair shone with a slightly pinkish glow.

His normal expressionless face shone with a hint of boredom, as he munched on a chocolate bar and drank from a can of soda.

Meanwhile sitting beside him was another handsome silver haired youth with a blindfold on who had his feet currently in steamy water, enjoying the warmth of the water massaging his feet.

In his hand was a bunch of chocolate bars and a can of sodas on which he feasted to his own happiness.

"Sigh. This is the life..." He downed his soda in one shot, flicked the can away with his finger and reclined in his seat.

"Oi. Angel, tell me about yourself..who are you and what can you do.." He looked towards the expressionless youth and moved closer to him.

The expressionless youth became uneasy seeing him move that close to him and shifted himself away.

"Sigh. I already told you, my name is Angel. I'm a devil hunter, and my ability allows me to steal life force..." He said while looking away, as the silver haired youth leaned on even further.

"You can steal life force? That's interesting and cool as well..." Satoru smiled and looked at him once again.

"So how does your ability work exactly?" He picked up a bag of hot chips and began munching on them while keeping his glance on Angel.

"It works through touching, and if I may ask, why are you eating so much, and where is all that food going?" Angel spoke with his normal bored tone, while his eyes glanced at Satoru who was drinking another can of soda which was like his third since the plane took off.

"Oh...don't mind me..My technique has a lot to do with my brain, and as such, I need stimulants, and since I don't do drugs, I can only depend on things with enough sugar, though they taste really good as well.." Satoru smiled and said.

"You have a technique?...You're not a devil...are you?" Angel asked casting an examining look at his partner. "Definitely not...but it's kinda a long story..blah blah blah..." Satoru reclined in his seat and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Anyway, it seems we're about to land, so fill me in on the mission specifics..."

Satoru finally turned serious and looked at Angel.

"I don't remember." Angel spoke and turned away as Satoru raised an eyebrow. "The mission folder is with the luggage, I never read through..." Angel added, as Satoru sighed.

"I'm only here to supervise you, so no fighting for me, make sure you don't die..." Angel said in his usual monotone voice.

"Dealing with you is going to be even more exhausting than dealing with those devils.." Satoru shook his head and continued feasting.

.

The plane soon landed at the airport, as the two youths walked out holding onto bag packs.

"We're finally here...I was starting to get bored already.." Satoru smiled and walked down and the next moment he stopped for a bit.

'The average negative energy in this country is leagues higher than Japan's. This mission might be even more complicated than I thought.' Standing on the stairs of the plane, Angel who was also lost in thought crashed into him and took a step back in panic.

However, seeing as Satoru was evidently fine even though he had clearly touched him he sighed and walked down after him. They then walked outside the airport and saw a man in a black suit waiting for them in front of a black SUV.

"Welcome to North Korea. My name is Lee, and I've been assigned as your designated driver. I'll gladly answer all questions you have about the country as well as the mission, so please make yourself comfortable.."

Lee, a handsome thirty something year old man with short dark hair gestured to the car as Satoru nodded with a smile and sat in the front, with Angel having no choice but to go to the back.

.

"So how was your flight? I trust it was okay.." The SUV drove along a highway, as Lee tried to strike up a conversation between himself and the two devil hunters.

"Oh, it was not bad at all.." Satoru nodded after getting rid of distracting thoughts.

"Anyway, tell me something Lee, are you a devil hunter?" Satoru asked with a questioning gaze. "Oh no, but I worked for the Devil Hunters association a few years, now, I work for the state.." Lee flashed them a small smile.

"Since you were a devil hunter, then tell me something Lee, why is the amount of negative energy in this country exponentially more compared to my state?" Satoru asked with his hands on his chin.

"Good question. Our country could be considered one of the leading countries in the productions of weapons such as missiles, guns, nuclear bombs among others, hence the fear of these weapons have managed to grip the very souls of our citizens, making this place a utopia for devils due to the immense negative energies..."

He explained, while Satoru and even Angel listened attentively.

"And what about our mission. I haven't intentionally read through the file thoroughly, but can you give us a gist on what we're supposed to do?" Satoru asked another question.

"Well, although, our country is infested with devils, there are particular places that are infested with so much devils that it is unfit for human settlement. However, your mission is to destroy the main base of operation of the devils, which is in Ryanggang.....

We believe that Ryanggang is the base of the devil operations, since it is the most overpopulated with devils and also housed some incredibly powerful devils."

Lee explained, and Satoru couldn't help but sigh.

"Pfft. Makima, Makima, Makima...after all the ideas you could've come up with to kill me, a suicide mission..really?" Satoru laughed and mumbled to himself.

'She's probably trying to use this mission as a means to truly ascertain how much of a threat I am or how dangerous I truly am, and how much opposition I might pose to her..' He thought for a moment.

"Anyway, it ain't like I didn't suspect this from the get go..Let's just get this over with and get out of this place.." Satoru rubbed the back of his neck with slight annoyance and said.

"You're really confident. I pray luck is on your side, because trust me, you'll need it my friends.." Lee sighed melancholically.

"What sort of encouragement is that. It's like you're sending us off to die.." Satoru chuckled.

"Oi Angel, I know you decided not to fight. I also like doing things on my own, but with a devil horde on this level, you'll need to participate to ensure none of them manage to escape.." Satoru spoke with a smile, and even Lee couldn't help but be shocked at his words.

Even Angel was dumbfounded after hearing him. He could be considered one of the strongest devil Hunters after all, but after hearing Lee's description of the mission, he felt like the chances of survival were minuscule even for him. This was a suicide mission in all of its glory, but it seemed like Satoru didn't share his opinion.

"Fine, but I do hope you're as powerful as your words. Or we'll just be going to our deaths." Angel sighed, and Satoru laughed cheekily.

.

After a few minutes, they arrived at a hotel, and made their way into one of its many rooms with their stuff.

"You guys should settle in for today, I'll be here to pick you up for the mission premier tomorrow. The room service isn't bad here.." Lee spoke with a smile and walked out leaving the two youths alone in the big room.

"This place isn't bad.." Satoru looked around, and jumped onto the bed and relaxed. After that he rushed to check out other parts of the room with a large smile on his face.

"I'm not usually good at talking to people, but you don't seem to be depressed or sad about the the fact that we've been sentenced to death, literally."

Angel suddenly spoke and looked at Satoru who was back on the bed and bouncing himself up and down on the bouncy bed.

"Why should I be? I didn't come here with the intention to die so why should I be sad. In fact the probability of me dying on this mission is less than 10 percent unless something unexpected happens of course." Satoru smiled and said.

"Your ego knows no bounds..." Angel couldn't help but frown. He didn't know if Satoru was delusional, crazy or he actually meant what he was talking about.

"Besides, the mission is the least of our worries now." He smiled and sat up on the bed. "Why do you say that?" Angel asked with a blink. "Because we're going to be assassinated." Satoru spoke and lied back down, and Angel couldn't help but shake his head.

A/N: I just want to say that, this is just a work of fiction and all the counties and scenarios being used a just a figment of imagination. But if I have unintentionally insulted your culture or country, then I deeply apologize.
