Chapter 18: The Growing Storm
Previous Chapter Next ChapterLurker 4-1
I gathered my thoughts as I stood in the growing darkness, which was not unfamiliar to me, I stood an thought about the mission that Emperor Renko gave me. Why did he not give me any more information than the target wasn't like the ponies that roamed around the town? My team spotted two equines that were larger than the others, and at first we believed that the dark-blue one was our target because all the others had lighter coats of hair, but then what walked up to the two took us completely by surprise...
Emperor Renko walked up to the two of them, as soon as the large white one got on the chariot and left I immediately radioed Emperor Renko for an explanation. The thing that caught me off was that when the transmission was picked up by the emperor, the Renko in front of me was not the one talking. Upon asking about the "other Renko" the Emperor's response was a laugh, he told me that this other man was my target.
I knew that my team could handle the guards in between us and the other Renko, but it was the man himself that posed the most problem... It was when I saw the dark-blue pony separate from Renko's group with her own guards that I hatched a plan, I would only need a distraction and I could capture the Dark blue female. The strange thing is that I could see, even from a distance, that the emotions expressed in the female's eyes were emotions that could be seen in a one-sided love. Did this Renko get one of these... Animals... to fall in love with him?! If he had, he certainly did not show that he shared the same emotion, this could make it easier to lure this Renko to the Emperor.

I let the emperor know that he can send a few more Reverts out as a distraction, when he questioned my intentions for using the reverts I answered simply.
"Whether the Other Renko stops them or not, it will give me the opening I need to capture a very important hostage." He agreed with an evil smile on his face and commenced to summon up several reverts and a group of phase ticks. He turned to me as he sent the monsters to do their job.
"You have ten minutes before they reach the town, get your men in position and mae the capture as quickly as possible. the fact that they have a TMD an several E99 guns on their side means that the length of the battle may be short." I left with a bow and quickly re-grouped with my men, it was far too easy to get into position and wait for the bullets to call us into action, we could see the Dark-Blue pony's location from where we stood in the shadows of the military outpost.
