Azure Morrow hung his head, a blindfold over his eyes, and blood running from his nose and mouth. He was suspended upright by chains around his wrists that were attached to the ceiling, he hung just inches off the ground. The 17 year old's shirt had been removed, deep gash wounds were on his back and chest. He had been captured and interrogated, but he refused to give any information.

A man stood against the wall across from Azure, watching the teenager. "You've been trained quite well Agent. Konoga would be proud" The man spoke with a slight smirk on his face. Azure's fists tightened ever so slightly at the mention of his mentor, Drew Konoga. It was true, his master would have been proud, the teen had managed to not speak at all.

He was in the middle of a war, a war that had gone unnoticed by the public for several years. A group of highly skilled military veterans had defected from the U.S. and joined up with a powerful group from another country. It was supposed to be him and his partner's job to infiltrate their base and not only discover who the U.S. group, ARTIC, had allied with but also rescue two military weapon engineers that had been kidnapped. Azure had been captured only because he had to be the distraction so his partner could rescue the engineers. But his partner would soon find that they were both now dead, and in almost no time at all, Azure would be too.

Trish had come to a cell to find two dead bodies lieing cold on the floor. "Shit." She said cursing her luck. "Azure!" She was on running back before another second was wasted.

The snow was deep outside and the agile woman wasn't wearing much for warmth. She felt the fabric would just get in the way and a little cold wouldn't hurt you as much as a bullet if you couldn't dodge it. The lights from the watch towers were scanning the perimeter well a little too well. It was one of the reasons she had let her partner go when he insisted on playing the role of a distraction. She didn't think it was a good plan but they didn't have many options either. If she would have known the engineers were dead she would have never let him risk it. But if she had known that they wouldn't be here in the first place.

"No time to waste thinking things over. Time to move Trish." She crawled across the ground up a ditch when she saw a soldier walking towards her position. She crawled back out of view as he turned flicking off his mates. "Пошел на хуй, я собираюсь пойти отлить." Fuck you, I'm going to go take a piss.

He never made it. By the time his zipper dropped Trish stood up and stabbed him in the throat with her knife. She took the pistol from his side and lowered him into the ditch without a sound. She quickly made her way to a near by building where she tucked herself against the corner. "Вы слышали о человеке, они обнаружили, проникал в базы?" "Did you hear about the man they found sneaking into the base?" One of the men said. "Рихтгофен будет иметь немного развлечься с ним, а?" "Richtofen is going to have a little fun with him eh?"

'Damn it!" She cursed her luck. 'I got to go save him.' She whistled and turned around the corner out into the open. "Have some fun with this." She said firing three times and the three soldiers fell with their thoughts blown out of their skulls.

He exhaled slowly, his breath coming out in a cold puff of air. "I'll give you one last chance" The silver haired man pulled out a revolver and spun it skillfully in one hand. Before he could point his gun at the teenager a young woman in formal wear entered the top security level cell. "There is another intruder..." She spoke in a quiet voice, but it wasn't timid. He looked at her with a frown but raised an eyebrow when she stared at Azure. "I see, I figured she would reveal herself to us in a matter of time. Hm, Misturu, you're always worried about proving yourself." He flipped the gun and held it out to her. "Take it, deal with him" The young woman, Mitsuru, took the gun. "Yes, of course." Mitsuru said. With his eyes covered, Azure could hear every little sound, feel the cold much more intensely; his 4 others senses were intensified. Trish, where are you...? He inhaled and coughed a deep stuttering breath. All the teen could do now was await either his demise, or his rescue.

Trish needed to make it inside but the front door wasn't going to be a good option. She took the clips from the two soldiers using similar side arms. With that she ducked down by a side rail on the other side of the building. The purpose of which was to let out the steam of the machines on the floor below. 'Things are going to get a bit hot.' She thought to her self rolling in the snow freezing her body until she felt numb. Then she took out a small packet from one of her pockets and poured the powder across two of the bars. The chemical reaction was fast the metal turned black and sizzled falling apart with her touch.

Into the drain she went. Quickly she felt the sting like needles in her skin. The numbness didn't help much with the searing pain of the heat. She ducked and crawled through the narrow passage trying not to touch the sides with her bare skin. The rubber of her heels began to stick.

She found an exit luckily it was open as a man was working on the screws. She slid out with her feet on his face knocking him on his back before he knew what was going on. There was a lot of hot machinery around her but it wasn't as bad as the condensed heat in the tunnel. Another man who was working in the steam room looked at her shocked. He lifted a radio to his mouth. "We have an intruder. жающей Сигнал тревоги." She donkey punched him and he fell flat on the ground. "Damn so much for sneaking in." She took off her black tank top and ran a liquid over it soaking the cloth.

She made her way carefully out into the hall and down to the right away from the guards who were coming from the left. She saw one guard still standing place outside one of the doors. 'That must be where they're keeping him.' She whistled and the guard turned. "кто там?" He flipped the switch on his walkie talkie so that if there was a gunshot everyone would hear. But when he turned down the hall all he saw was a woman with large breast and a training bra. "Like what you see?" She said before putting her shirt to his mouth and a hand behind his head. He fell cold.

Mitsuru moved one hand down to straighten her skirt. She took a few steps so that she stood directly in front of the wounded and bleeding prisoner. Nearly a hundred things were going through her mind, but she maintained her composure quite well. The 'young' woman was older than she looked, and had had a lot of training in the past. "Come on, get on with it Mitsuru, or can you not kill one who was once one of your own?" The man urged her to go on and shoot the agent. After a moment of silence she pointed the gun at the teenager, aiming at his head. It was obvious the man who had originally wounded Azure was losing his patience, he wrapped one arm around her waist and placed his free hand on hers. "Do it." He commanded. "Why you... impatient..." Her eyes narrowed and she turned quickly trying to shake him off, but he held fast. By now their backs were facing Azure and in that split second the young agent gripped the chains holding his wrists and after pulling himself up a bit, kicked the man square in the back.

There was a gunshot. Trish ran into the room a man had fallen to his knees and a girl held a pistol aimed towards the ceiling. She began to aim it at Azure who was hanging by chains. Trish didn't give her time to take the shot she shot the pistol in the girl's hands and ran forward putting another bullet in the leg of the man trying to stand up. Everything went by fast. Trish slammed her knee between the legs of the girl right up her skirt and then pinned her on the wall by her jaw. With her other hand she aimed the pistol at the man on the ground. "Thanks for looking after my friend but it's time for him to come home."

(I apologize for taking over the girl)

"Trish...?" Azure was swinging slightly from his last action and it made his head spin. It frustrated him that he couldn't see, not that there was anything but metal walls to see in that room. "You ....." His head dropped and his body went limp. Mitsuru winced a little at the pain Trish had caused her. Her eyes narrowed a bit, she didn't know who this young woman was, and she was a definite threat to her cover. Mitsuru was thought to be one of the ones who defected, but in truth she was a double agent, no one but the secretary of defense and probably 1 or 2 others knew anything about her special black op mission. Trish and Azure were no exceptions, they weren't supposed to know. And though Azure was her student before he was Konoga's and she cared for him, she wouldn't have hesitated to shoot him to continue her mission. She needed to keep the defected mens' trust, and that was getting harder to do with these kids around.

Trish looked to Azure, "It's time to go home buddy." With that she hit the woman on the head with the butt of the gun and let her body hit the floor. With a quick kick her foot met the man's face before he could stand and with a little more work from her satchel the chains were loose.

By the time all that happened the guards were on their way. Trish fired what was left in her gun but soon she was out. She grabbed an ak-74 off of one of the soldiers and kept firing with her free hand as the other held her friend. She couldn't do this much longer before they started acting more tactical and took her down. She did something she didn't want to do. She made a call.

The phone only had one number on speed dial. She had named it death in her contacts. It didn't ring she just spoke, "We have a situation, the engineers are dead and I've seen whose involved here but I'm surrounded. So either pick me and my partner up or bomb the place. Make it quick." She hung up the phone. "It's been nice Azure." She stepped out the building into the snow and cold. A dozen men with assault rifles aimed with red dot sights at her chest.

[Xikari chan]

The young man was unconscious, unaware of the chaos that was going on around them both. And unaware that their deaths would be upon them. Trish made a call. The sound of a helicopter roaring above them was the perfect interference. All of the enemy soldiers looked up at the chopper, attempting to shoot it down with their assault rifles, which was pretty much useless. In the midst of the gun shots Azure slowly opened his eyes, without a word he pulled Trish down and crouched over her like a shield or a turtle shell. He had no sense of awkwardness and only did what he had to to protect his partner. A bit of his blood from his chest dripped onto her. Though his mind was a bit clouded, he knew what he wanted, he wanted to get the hell out of there and wished the chopper would hurry the hell up.

[Storyboy]

Trish didn't mind the warmth that her partner provided but the act was useless. If they were going to be killed by they wouldn't have sent in the chopper. The guns on it opened fire on the soldiers and they all fell shortly after. "Get off of me you big bum." Trish said lifting her partner off. "Let's get you on that bird."

Moments later they were flying away. An agent in a suit and shades sat across from them. Azure was laying down in the back, "He needs the rest." Trish said to the man. She was wearing a wool jacket over her now. It was uncomfortable but warm and she needed that. No need to worry about being held down now.

"I'm sure he does." The man said.

"Thanks for saving us."

He looked back through dark glasses, "We weren't supposed to. The planes were being held back by a blizzard. We came in because we couldn't allow two agents to be captured."

She smiled looking at the ground, "I figured that was the case. Seems luck was on our side." She stood up and walked to the back sitting beside Azure. She ran a hand softly acorss his head. "How you holding up doll?"
