To Be Alive Again

Usually, the idea of fighting monsters with awesome powers would be pretty cool. That is if you have nothing to lose. Being in the line of service for your country in the most dangerous job you could ever have, you're betting on everything you have in exchange for victory. Once you're too deep in, the only way to get out of this job is to drag your enemies down with you to hell.

Black Van

Not far from the borders that separates Frezha and Vartia, Is an old abandoned facility.

Man 1: "Cain, sir. We've got word from Team 1, the bomb is in position"

Cain: "Good, get the men ready to deactivate the barriers in Bervin City's district 5 to 7"

Man 1: "Roger that"

Dalie is in her office reading over some paperwork for future missions. A man comes in frantically, almost as if he was about to be out of breath. It's a staff member?

Dalie: "You? What are you-"

Staff: "Excuse me! I'm Higher-up 1's driver. He asked me to fetch you. He said he needs to tell you something about your new member. Please follow me quick"

Dalie quickly bolts out of her chair and leaves the Team room. While speeding their way through the halls, She asks-

Dalie: "What's this about my new member sir?"

Staff: "He didn't tell me. But he said it's urgent"

Dalie: "..."

They use the elevator and go down to the first floor.

Staff: "Right this way! He's in his ride"

They go straight to the underground parking lot right after leaving the building. There, a van is parked right in the middle.

Dalie: "..."

It's not visible by the dim lights of the parking lot and the dark tinted glass of the black van but that van has multiple men inside with guns in their hands, ready to shoot at any moment.

Dalie: "It's my first time seeing Higher-up 1's vehicle. I didn't know he had a van"

Staff: "He said he's got a heavy package he wanted to hand over to someone personally"

Dalie: "Huh... And what may that be?..."

Staff: "Your corpse"

The "staff" pulls out a gun and immediately aims to shoot at Dalie's head. He misses as she kicks him at his knee pit (the back of his knee) and he stumbles. She swifts behind him on a choke hold and grabs his hand holding the gun. She points it under his chin and--BANG!

Terrorist 1: "Gh! What the hell.. Did you see that! Juke's dead! She killed him!"

Terrorist 2: "Shut up! She'll hear us asshole!"

Terrorist 3: "There's no way we can kill that chick man! I don't wanna die here!!"

Terrorist 2: "I told you to shut up damn it!! How many times do I have to tell you!?"

Terrorist 1: "Hey guys... Where is she..."

As they got a bit distracted from the bantering. Dalie seems to be out of their sights...

She opens the van's door.

Dalie: "You know, you Vartians made one big mistake. Higher-up 1 rides his own car and it isn't a van"

...

Irene: "This is the house"

Evelyn: "So this is what the suburbs looks like. The breeze is refreshing"

Irene rings the door bell. A man opens the door and Irene seems to know him quite well.

Irene: "Hey Liam"

Liam: "Irene! Nice to finally meet you again! It's been so long and-- HOLY SHIT YOU'RE MISSING AN ARM!? "

Irene: "Don't worry it'll grow back"

Liam: "It'll what??"

Irene: "Haha! I'll explain it to you and mama soon. And speaking of which, where is she?"

Helen: "Irene? Is that you?"

Not too far from the door is a woman on a wheelchair. It's Helen Vale, Irene's mother.
