The Mission, Part II

Dupree pulled out his watch and spoke into it. "This is General Dupree, I've taken care of things here, what's the situation elsewhere?"

Dupree stared at his wrist. He frowned. "No answer...?"

A beep sounded. "This is Moss. All available forces are on the lookout for Akasan the intruder, and the children of Don Viper."

Dupree put his arm down. "Viper's kids... those guys are troublesome."

The sound of snow shuffling around alerted Dupree. He turned around. "Why didn't you stay down?"

Ren was on her feet, using her sword as a crutch. Blood covered her entire face. She managed to smirk. "I'm so pathetic... losing like this. I'm too weak to be around Akasan... I'm just in the way."

Dupree chuckled. "Blind courage? Or are you defending your pride? Either way it goes, you've already lost. Rumble!"

A yellow sphere appeared in Dupree's hand. "Any last words?"

Ren's eyes were halfway open. "Not really... go ahead, do your worst."
