Operation "Inferno"

Metro Phoenix. A metropolis divided into five, technologically advanced, artificial floating cities. With a total population of 20 million, this megacity is the center of the empire. The five cities, of which Metro Phoenix is made out, are connected by seaports, harbors, and underwater metro stations.

For years, the government allowed three of the five cities, (Pearl City, Emerald City, and City of Crystalia), to be under the hands of both the mafia and the Yakuzas. the empire allowed it, believing that it was the best way to maintain order within Metro Phoenix. Only the two main cities, Falcon City and the City of Phoenix, were truly under the government's rule, and free from organized crime. Now, that is all about to change.

November 13, 2095-

[Time: 2:00 am ]

Trapiche District- Emerald City

*Bang Bang!*

"Shit! We're completely outnumbered and outgunned! What do we do now!?"

"Damn It! Why is the Falcon coming after us all of a sudden?!"

The leader of the Ikeda clan yells out in the middle of a crossfire against the 'Crystal Falcon', a private intelligence organization under the Imperial government.

The notorious Yakuza boss, Shinobu Ikeda, was feared and respected by his underlings and had successfully eluded the Crystal Falcon for years.

But all of that is about to change. The tides have finally turned against the feared Oyabun. A sting operation, code named "Operation Inferno," was sent out to eradicate all crime organizations within the city or Emaralds. The Falcon agents immediately acted on this and surrounded the building where Ikeda and his men are hiding.

"Boom!" The sound of grenades being thrown at the Ikeda headquarters echoed all across the lower dristrict.

"Sir!" One of Ikeda's men yelled out. "I've just received words from the 'High Phoenix!"

"What?! What the hell did they say?!" Aren't they supposed to prevent this from happening to us-"

"Sir, we are the last clan standing in Emerald City!"

"What?..." Ikeda froze in disbelief.

"Sir! The government ordered the removal of all clans in Metro Phoenix! The rest of the clans had already been annihilated by the Falcon"

"FUUUCK!!"

"Sir, we should get out while we still-"

*Bang Bang Bang!*

Ikeda's guard dropped face-first after getting shot. One by one, his men fell to the Falcon.

Ikeda has been cornered within his territory, surrounded by a team of heavily armed SWAT officers. He knew that this was it - there was no way out. The only thing left to do was to fight

Ikeda knew that his time had come. He never expected it to happen so soon. He quickly ordered his men to prepare for a fierce battle, but deep down he knew that it was a lost cause.

Crystal Falcon agents had already surrounded the building, and there was no escape.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the door.

Ikeda drew his gun and prepared for battle. The SWAT team, along with a number of Crystal Falcon agents kicked in the door and stormed into the building. The sound of gunfire filled the air as the two sides engaged in a fierce gunfight.

The SWAT team burst into the room, their guns drawn. Ikeda was a skilled marksman, and he managed to take down several of the SWAT officers before they could even get close to him. He dodged bullets and weaved through the maze-like building, using his knowledge of the layout to his advantage.

The SWAT team was relentless, and they kept pushing forward, inch by inch. They were well-trained and well-equipped, but Ikeda was cunning and quick.

The two sides exchanged fire for what felt like an eternity. Ikeda's gun was running low on ammunition, and he knew that he had to make a move soon. He spotted an opening and took a chance, diving out of cover and charging towards the nearest SWAT officer.

The officer was caught off-guard, and Ikeda managed to disarm him and knock him to the ground. He used the officer's gun to take out a few more SWAT officers, but it wasn't enough.

In the end, Ikeda was outnumbered and outgunned. He fought until the bitter end, but he was eventually brought down by a hail of gunfire.

The SWAT team secured the building and apprehended the remaining members of Ikeda's clan. Ikeda stood up, slowly raising his hands in surrender. He looked around the room, taking in the faces of his men, who were being handcuffed one by one. It was a hard-won victory, but they had finally taken down one of the most notorious Yakuza bosses in the city.

"Haru Ikeda, in honor of 'Operation Inferno', you are under arrest in the name of the Empire."

"Huh, 'Operation Inferno. I see." Ikeda responded with a sarcastic tone.

"Please, try not to resist further."

"Why? Why did this happen? All clans... After being used, after obeying every command, and playing along with your silly games, we are removed, like trash?.. WHY!?"

Furious, Ikeda asked the agent.

"I guess you can blame your comrades from Pearl City."

"The Yoshima clan? Why them?!"

"Well... Let's just say they crossed the line. And the rest of the clans must pay the price."

"And besides," the agent added. "The Yakuza is becoming a burden recently. Your friend, the Yoshima clan, just handed us the excuse we've been waiting for to remove you, people."

"This isn't the end. The triangle will not stand for this." Ikeda told the agent with a strong glare.

...

"Try us."
