Reaper's POV
I touched the paint and it was dry.
"It's been here for hours." I said
My dad sighed but then I saw something.
"Dad, your drawer." I pointed out
He looked at it and he also seemed to notice it. He opened the drawer and his eyes widened, he frantically started searching through the drawers as if he lost something.
"Dad, what's wrong?" I asked
"My dog tags, I mean Keegan's dog tag, everyone's dog tag." he replied
He ran out of the room and I followed him down the hallway but he skid to a stop right in front of Keegan's room. He turned and looked at the door, he looked at the doorknob and slowly opened the door. He entered the room and his eyes widened so I entered the room after him and my eyes widened as well. On the wall, there were a bunch of knives stuck on the wall, each of them had a dog tag hanging from the blade and on the wall was another writing.
"I'll do what you couldn't do. Kill the ones who killed your loved ones." I read it
"He's after Tessa..." whispered my dad
Recon's POV
I just finished showering when I got a phone call.
"Hello?" I answered
"Tessa?" I heard Ajax's voice
"What?" I asked
"Are you okay? Did anything happen?" he asked
"No. What's going on." I asked as I got dressed
"It's Prophet, I think he's after you." he replied
"What do you mean after me?" I asked
Before I could respond I felt someone come up from behind me. I turned around just in time to duck a swing.
'Shit, how did he get in here?'
I swiped his legs but he caught himself with one hand and kicked me but I rolled back just in time.
"Tessa?" asked Ajax
"He is here." I said
I ended the call and tossed the phone on the bed. Prophet pulled out a knife and began swinging his knife at me. I leaned back and kicked his stomach as hard as I could and I heard his ribs break. He stumbled back a bit so I ran up to him and pushed kicked his stomach and with that same leg I jumped off of him and did a backflip kick hitting his chin.
His back hit the wall but he lunged at me and spun his knife around his hand and held it in an invertible position. He swung his knife but I was able to grab it, roundhouse kick the back of his head and with the same leg I did a hook kick hitting his gas mask. I jumped onto him and twirled myself around him and threw him across the room with my legs.
"I give you props, you're not half bad." I said
He suddenly pulled out his pistol and my eyes widened. But before he pulled the trigger Malvik came in and sliced his arm. Prophet grunted in pain and jumped back avoiding Malvik's second swing. Prophet was about to attack him but a bunch of secret service agents entered the room. Colt came in and shot his gas mask but it deflected off.
"Surrender, you're surrounded." said Colt
"You forgot one thing." whispered Prophet
He showed us his amputated arm and I realized what he meant.
"You're all in the blast radius." said Prophet
At the corner of my eye I saw Colt pull out a mag with bolt rounds.
"I'm not the one-"
In less than a second, Cold reloaded his gun and shot Prophet's gas mask. It broke the gas mask but it didn't penetrate. Prophet stumbled back and I saw a hole in Prophet's mask. He looked up and I saw his eye, they were brown, proving that he wasn't Eren.
"Wrong-"
All the agents began firing at him, emptying their mag. Once they all stopped firing, Prophet stumbled back and wheezed, blood dripping out but he was regenerating.
"Who are you?" asked Malvik
"Sir stay behind us." said an agent
"I'm fine." replied Malvik
Prophet sighed and his arm regrew and he stood up.
"Someone." he whispered
But then I heard something in the distance.
'Is that... a chopper?'
Just as I expected, a chopper flew down and there was a gunner.
"Get down!" yelled Colt
I took cover just in time as the chopper opened fire, killing most of the agents in the room. Prophet jumped out of the window and entered the helicopter and they flew away. Colt checked the dead agents and shook his head.
"Tessa are you hurt?" asked Malvik
"I'm fine, thanks to you." I sighed
"Who were they?" questioned Mavlik
I got a phone call so I picked up my phone from the bed and it was from Ajax.
"You knew about this." I said after I answered my phone
"Yes I did cause Riku was attacked by Prophet." he replied
My eyes slightly widened and I put it on speaker.
"Riku was hurt?" questioned Malvik
"She's stable but Prophet attacked her. Not only that, he came into my house." sighed Ajax
"But how did you know he was coming for me?" I asked
He stayed silent then he sent me a text message.
"Two photos?" I questioned
I tapped on the text and it was a photo of a wall that was spray painted.
"TMO and the NHEO are back?" gasped Malvik
"I don't know." replied Ajax
I checked the other picture and it was also a wall that was spray painted.
"I'll do what you couldn't do. Kill the ones who killed your loved ones." I read
"That's how you knew?" asked Malvik
"Yea." replied Ajax
"I see." I sighed
I didn't know how to feel about this, was I supposed to feel guilty or something else?
"Anyways he was here but he was extracted by a black hawk. I think he's part of some military organization." said Malvik
"I see." said Ajax, "Keep me updated if you get anything."
"I will." replied Malvik
Ajax ended the call.
"How many are dead?" asked Malvik
"3 agents." replied Colt
I saw him close an agent's eyes before getting up.
"Did you see his eyes?" I asked
"Yea, it's not green which means it's not Eren." said Malvik
"Even if it's not Eren, he still ate Eren in order to gain his titan power." implied Colt, "Which means he has Eren's memories."
"His intentions must be the same as Eren's." said Malvik
"But why does he need nuclear silos?" questioned Colt
"What do you mean by nuclear silo?" I asked
"He's trying to get the US nuclear silo codes." said Malvik, "That's why he attacked Riku."
I got another call but this time it was from Conor.
"Conor?" I questioned
"Mom, I heard what happened. Nothing bad happened to you and dad right?" he asked
Malvik smiled and I smiled.
"We're both okay." I replied
"Oh thank goodness." Conor sighed in relief
"I heard that you had to fight Valmet." said Malvik
"What?!" I snapped
Malvik jumped back a bit.
"Conor, you fought her? Why?" I asked
"Oh, well Lieutenant Colonel Kit told me to. If they killed me then they would be set free." replied Conor
I looked at Malvik and I gave his my death stare and Malvik slightly backed up while smiling a bit awkwardly.
"But I won, luckily." said Conor, "I did exactly what you taught me."
My anger cooled and I cracked a small smile.
"I used the kusarigama just like you and uncle Kan taught me." said Conor
"I'm proud of you." I said
"Yea me too, I'm glad you won." added Malvik
"You and I need to talk after this." I hissed
"Okay okay." he replied without fighting back
"Hey mom, I'm going on another mission I'll talk to you later." said Conor
"Okay stay safe." I said
And with that I ended the call.
"Now where was I?" I sighed as I looked at Malvik
"Oh no." he whispered
Doc's POV
"Undercover mission?" I questioned
"Yes, undercover. You and Reaper will be spying on this anonymous hacker named Mask." replied Lieutenant Colonel Kit, "The rest of you will be on surveillance."
"What's his real name sir?" I asked
"William Jones." said Kit, "Patching his information through your hud."
I saw the information on my watch.
"You'll both be heading out right now." said Kit
"Yes sir." I said
I left with Reaper and the others.
"He's going to be in a club later today." I commented
"A club? That sounds fun." said Astra
"It's really not. I don't do well with people dancing." I replied, "Especially if it's a you know..."
Dynamite nudged me with his elbow.
"Come on man, enjoy life while you still can." said Dynamite, "Right Tower?"
Tower grunted and nodded.
"Plus you're going with Reaper." teased Specter
"You guys have to stop." I said all flustered
Astra laughed and Specter just smiled.
"We'll stop teasing you when we feel like it." said Specter
"Fine geez." I mocked
I entered this mercedes-benz van where there were a bunch of computers.
"Everyone get changed." said Reaper who was already inside and done changing
She was wearing a black hoodie and black jeans with a pair of high heels.
"Are you wearing anything underneath?" asked Specter
"Yea I crop top." replied Reaper, "I just need to do the makeup."
She got out of the van so the boys went first.
"Uhh what should I wear?" I questioned
"Here." said Astra
Astra took out a bunch of outfits for me and I stared at them with confusion.
"You're joking, I'm not some kind of rich guy on the streets." I implied
"Well now you are cause you're going to a club." said Astra
I sighed and just began changing into a blue button down shirt with black khakis pants and the ankles were rolled up with some white shoes. I looked at myself and I felt a bit off so Astra and Bullseye began to help me. Bullseye fixed my hair while Astra unbuttoned the first button and rolled up my sleeves.
"Now here." said Bullseye
He gives me a rolex watch and some black sunglasses.
"Look at you all fancy." awed Dynamite
I chuckled a bit and got off the van once we were done. Reaper's dad and mom were outside talking to Reaper.
"A club? That's a bit... you know." said Aunt Emily
"I know but it's a mission." replied Reaper, "Dad are you okay with this?"
Uncle Ajax nodded and he patted her head.
"You'll do well." he said
Uncle Ajax looked at me and he raised an eyebrow. Aunt Emily looked at me and she too looked confused.
"I'm sorry but I'm supposed to be with her inside the club." I said all embarrassed
"Oh I see." said Aunt Emily
"Take care of her." said Uncle Ajax as he pat my head
"Yes sir." I replied
"I don't need protection dad." sighed Reaper
"I'm just saying." replied Uncle Ajax, "We'll be heading home now."
"Be careful." said Aunt Emily before leaving
Once they left Reaper looked at me and eyed me up and down.
"Let me guess, Astra picked out that outfit." said Reaper
"Y-yea." I replied
"You look good." complimented Reaper
I blushed madly so I quickly hid my cheeks.
"Reaper Kit!" called out Lieutenant Colonel Kit
We approached him and he pointed at something down the road. I turned to see what it was and my eyes widened and my mouth dropped open.
A BMW i8 pulled up on the street and stopped in front of us. Kraken got out of the car and he was also changed but looked like he was under surveillance.
"You two will be driving that. And here." said Kit
He gave us fake ID cards.
"Henry Bernard? 20 years old..." I whispered
I looked at Reaper's ID card and her fake name was Olivia Kim.
"The GPS is set to that club." said Kraken, "We'll follow close by."
"Yes sir." I replied
"Get going it'll take a 8 hours to get there." said Kraken
"8 hours? Where exactly are we going?" I asked
"Kansas City." replied Kraken
"Why can't we fly there?" asked Reaper
"We're more focused on the President and Prophet so most of our assets are busy." replied Kit
I nodded and I scratched the back of my neck.
"Uhh we'll get going then." I said
I got in the driver's seat and I couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you smiling so much?" asked Reaper
"Oh cause I always wanted to drive this car." I replied
"I see, well get going." said Reaper
I nodded and drove off towards Kansas City.

3 hours later
Prophet's POV
We landed the chopper inside the mountain and I got off. I walked off the helipad and took off my gas mask.
"You failed again." I heard a sinister voice
"I'm sorry sir." I replied while kneeling down on one knee
"There is no need to apologize." said my master
"I should have been more careful." I mumbled
"Don't worry..." said my master, "We are a step closer to our goal."
I looked up at him.
"You and I shall watch the world burn. Just like how everyone else watched others burn." said my master
