Saitonia's Retribution The Final Arc: Episode 5: Top Secret Intel
(Next morning, at the twins' safehouse, Sai is curled up on the couch, wrapped in large black covers with a faint light blue glow. Beeping comes from his cator, placed on a nightstand to his right. He grabs it and answers.)
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Hmp?
[b]The Director:[/b] *from the cator* Is this Saitonia? Is this the correct contact code?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Director? Yes it's me.
[b]The Director:[/b] Great. Though looking up your address, your information seems...questioning, like there's sections completely missing, but it shouldn't be too bad. We've located a Purple Cloaks base that we believe might carry extremely useful intel.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] *sarcastic* What Purple Cloaks base doesn't carry useful intel?
[b]The Director:[/b] Good point. This one is different, mainly because it's way more isolated, way more hidden than other bases we've located. There's bound to be something exceptionally confidential, right up in our lane. Atticus is also on this mission, alongside a few of my agents. You willing to join?
[b]Saitonia:[/b] There's nothing else going on. If there is some useful intel, it might pertain to me and this "Saitorealm" that keeps popping up. We'll take our chances on what we could find. When does this mission start?
[b]The Director:[/b] Today, in the next couple of hours.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Okay. Best not be late. It'll be a great learning experience to see how the utmost elite intelligence agency carries out operations.
[b]The Director:[/b] Concur. While the SIU's history with the Purple Cloaks isn't intense, we've discovered enough about them to know that they're...quite a scam. Over the decades, the [b]zepiks[/b] that were donated to them, they used for fancy housing and protection, barely anything that contributed in giving you [b]Erazeskas[/b] rights you already have. Anything else they protested about, they're just asking for partiality.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Seems like they're close to being the very types of people they've claimed [b]Liomage[/b] and other [b]Euchrons[/b] to be.
[b]The Director:[/b] Mhm. Our intel will be delivered to him and the High Council, or basically anyone obligated to the Ruler's Palace, specifically, the throne. Anyways, don't be late, Saitonia. This mission will be crucial in regards to not only [b]Saitranovia[/b]'s future, but yours as well. *hangs up*
*Sai lightly throws his cator onto the couch, then walks up to Aino's room.*
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Sis, I'll be taking part in a mission with the SIU, where we'll possibly uncover some really scorching info the Purple Cloaks keep classified.
[b]Ainotias:[/b] *unseen* Don't the SIU think I'm dead?!
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Some of their agents might believe that, considering that future me and my organization has arrived not too long ago.
[b]Ainotias:[/b] Ehhhh, go on. Let's have them believe it for now. I'll take a look at some of these [b]Enygma[/b] forms.
*Sai turns and exits the safehouse.*

(An hour later, at the S.S. HQ. Inside the General's office, a new character is seen, but it's an old friend of the General and the Delta Trio's. With a cheerful welcome, the General pats the woman on her right shoulder while the Delta Trio is seated by the walls where various tech and gadgets are held.)
[b]General:[/b] *relieved sigh* [b]Rione Riuvera[/b], my [b]Arckyve[/b], you're still doing fine. I sent you the message that we finally took out those 5, especially that samurai, shogun scum. You got it, right?
*[b]Rione[/b] stands slightly shorter than the General. Hispanic/Latina-[b]Terranovian[/b] with light brown skin with an orange undertone and gray eyes. Dark brown, wavy hair with white streaks going a little past her shoulders and covering her left eye. She wears a small, black racer jacket under a dual color sweatshirt with long collars. The sweatshirt is black at the upper half and white at the lower half, with some red details on the upper half. Slim black jeans with parallel white lines at the sides, going all the way down, and high-top, white shoes with black and red details. Her extra accessories consist of a gadget belt hung over the right side of her jeans, and an S.S-themed armband on her left arm, custom-made for her in honor of her older sister; [b]Atiada[/b].*
[b]Rione:[/b] *reluctant speech* Yeah....I did. I wanted to reply, I wanted to finally come out of hiding, knowing that the trauma has mitigated, but it was too abundantly heavy of a burden to carry. Even since the death of [b]Atiada[/b], I had to vanish and try to rediscover myself. A tedious, yet rewarding adventure I had been on all these years.
[b]Ashe:[/b] Yep, and you're back. Thought we'd never see you again, [b]Rione[/b].
[b]Tony:[/b] Nearly had us set out a search and rescue type of mission for you, but the General canceled it last minute just to- y'know? Give you some privacy; a time to recover mentally.
[b]Rione:[/b] I appreciate it. *lightening up her tone* So what has the S.S. been up to since?
[b]Yaoni:[/b] Working more alongside the SIU. You heard about this new faction from the future called the Saitorealm?
[b]Rione:[/b] A little. Their leader is this [b]eraser[/b] guy named Saitonia?
[b]Yaoni:[/b] Exactly, BUT...it's Saitonia from the future, not the Saitonia here, well technically he's from the Ancient [b]Arckyve[/b] Era.
[b]Rione:[/b] 2 different Saitonias?
[b]Yaoni:[/b] Mhm. He's a bit of a long story. He's quite the enigma, I'll tell you the rest.

(North [b]Sakrisen[/b], on a busy junction within a city center, a miniscule group of protesters are holding up electronic placards, mainly saying things that are along the concept of getting rid of the SIU, such as: "Expunge the SIU!" "SIU are the underlings of [b]Exomordia[/b]." "Expose the SIU.")
*This small group continues to yell out stuff pertaining to an anti-SIU narrative in order to attract the attention of civilians, who are just trying to go on with their lives. They then however catch the attention of a strange woman. Her face isn't seen, but she has long, spiky white hair, wearing a gunmetal gray, hooded blazer, black pants, and silver, thigh-high boots with white detailing. The woman nods at the signs.*
[b]Female Anti-SIU Protester:[/b] *grateful sigh* Finally, someone who actually sees the true SIU.
[b]Strange Woman:[/b] The SIU mercilessly killed my parents when I was 5. I should know. Holding up signs and yelling won't change a damn thing. If there's anything history taught me, going to extreme measures makes the most changes.
____________________
(Around 1 P.M, Sai has met up with Atticus and a group of random SIU agents.)
[b]Atticus:[/b] Ahhh, the "Tyrantslaya". Director told me you was joining us.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] Indeed, Atticus. Very likely we'll find some really confidential stuff on the Purple Cloaks, what they could be planning, source of income, the personal info on every member, etc. So where is this specific Purple Cloaks base located?
[b]Male SIU Agent:[/b] *pulling up a map on his tablet* Damn near the outskirts, around 45 miles away from its nearest town; [b]Nororevdon[/b], and some secret facility. And we've scouted every other Purple Cloaks base locations, and this is the furthest one.
[b]Female SIU Agent:[/b] Unless there are more, but we would've caught them already. We're not gonna be second-guessing ourselves, putting us at an unwanted risk, we're storming this base, we're collecting the intel, and we're out. *to Sai* Director [b]Taxtisako[/b] has good things to say about you, Saitonia, is it? I like to see you prove her right.
[b]Atticus:[/b] *adding to the female SIU agent's statement* Exactly. Don't turn it into a "HAD good things to say about you" Sai mans.
[b]Saitonia:[/b] I'll do my best not to disappoint. The trekking begins.
____________________
(Several minutes pass, at the mansion with Aino, the [b]annihilator[/b] twins, Cat, Kav, Van, Kyo, Anna, [b]Kaburo[/b], [b]Maviko[/b], Alexa, and [b]Aguiro[/b], grouped together in the lobby, looking at [b]Maviko[/b]'s tablet, displaying sections of various [b]Enygma[/b] forms.)
[b]Maviko:[/b] So, fellow [b]Arckyvines[/b], you're interested in acquiring a new [b]Enygma[/b] form to your superpowered arsenal?
[b]Ainotias:[/b] Correct. Brother is off helping the SIU, and I wasn't going to just sit at home the entire day. My productivity has to return somehow.
[b]Sage:[/b] *sympathetic* Being the proxy of [b]Terranova[/b] for several months really put you in some sort of depression. Horrible. You used to be the more adventurous twin while Sai was the more reserved, now it's swapped.
[b]Ainotias:[/b] Who wouldn't be depressed being an [b]a[/b]ss-kisser to [b]Terranova[/b]?
[b]Cathera:[/b] That'd be the last thing I'd want to be.
[b]Kavita:[/b] True.
[b]Aguiro:[/b] *straightforwardly* Alright already, my apologies. *looking at Mav* [b]Maviko[/b], care to explain?
[b]Vandren:[/b] *referring to [b]Aguiro[/b]* Speaking of being an [b]a[/b]ss-kisser.
[b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]*Continued Below*[/i][/b] *Mav opens her mouth slightly, but then has a second thought, turning the tablet around and sliding it closer to the rest of the group, mainly Aino and the [b]annihilator[/b] twins.* [b]Maviko:[/b] I'll let you take a look, see what incarnations interest you. *Excluding Mav and [b]Aguiro[/b], the others take a look at the variants of [b]Enygma[/b] forms.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] *placing her finger on one form* This one looks....very barbaric. *Aino's finger is on a form with sleek leg and knee armor, spiky shoulder and elbow armor. A mask with menacing eyes and a wide set of sharp, jagged teeth. The most standout feature is its massive gauntlets with gloved claws, really long claws.* [b]Maviko:[/b] *leaning forward to see the form Aino described* Yep! That is Berserker [b]Enygma[/b]. I call that form the lovechild of the [b]Exomordia Enygma[/b] and Beast [b]Enygma[/b], the lite version of both. While not as tanky as the Beast [b]Enygma[/b], it has a higher, more in the middle when it comes to energy capacity. Here's the kicker; you'll need high levels of willpower to control its savage combat expertise, much like the [b]Exomordia Enygma[/b], though unlike that form, your body won't break down after 8 uses of Berserker [b]Enygma[/b], unless you're a [b]Exomordus[/b] Fiend, who don't have to worry about more than 8 uses of [b]Exomordia Enygma[/b]. [b]Saffyre:[/b] Aino, you're quite fierce in battle. This form will be a great fit. [b]Ainotias:[/b] *doubtful sigh* Maybe a year ago, but not so much now. [b]Kyokia:[/b] I'd say get it. It's a great chance to unlock that savagery you once had in your battles. [b]Maviko:[/b] *to Aino* I'm with your friends on this one. [b]Alexa:[/b] *pointing to another form* Hey what's that knightly looking one? *The form Alexa mentions is a form known as [b]Tempulara Enygma[/b], also known as Paladin or [b]Nobularis Enygma[/b]. It's exactly as Alexa described it; knightly, decked out in thick shoulder armor, clawed gauntlets, chestplate, and greaves, all over slimmer body armor. The helmet has a long, glowing plume, and extra accessories are a long, wide cape. In the diagram, the form is also wielding a sci-fi greatsword; 2, large, glowing blades, and a long hilt.* [b]Maviko:[/b] [b]Saitranovians[/b] call this one Paladin [b]Enygma[/b], the other mainlands call it [b]Tempulara Enygma[/b], excluding [b]Antevoux[/b], -blam!- to this one as "[b]Nobularis[/b]". It was created by an archdivine known by his signature knight-like appearance, intended use for those who want to invoke nobility on the battlefield; hence why this is a go-to [b]Enygma[/b] form for [b]Arckyvines[/b] in noblemen hunter organizations. [b]Kaburo:[/b] "[b]Enygma[/b] form intended to invoke nobility". Now, if one were to do the opposite, maybe the effects from using the [b]Exomordia Enygma[/b], with the body breaking down part, should apply to the Paladin [b]Enygma[/b]. [b]Anna:[/b] *nodding as a sign of agreement* It's fair. *sarcastic* Perhaps this archdivine should update the form. [b]Ainotias:[/b] For now, I'll look to get Berserker [b]Enygma[/b]. [b]Maviko:[/b] Now there's a very special method to acquire it; entering Stage 3 Standard form and concentrating on unleashing an enormous influx of energy until it fluctuates. *Aino accidentally swipes right, leading to a single slide dedicated to the most powerful [b]Enygma[/b] form; the Beyonder [b]Enygma[/b], catching hers and everyone else's attention.* [b]Ainotias:[/b] Oh, this is Beyonder [b]Enygma[/b]. [b]Maviko:[/b] *alerted by Aino's accidental discovery, sliding the tablet back to herself* Ohhhh....yeeaahhh. About this one....I'm sure most of you know about this one...at least some.. _____________________ (Sai, Atticus, and the crew of random SIU agents have arrived at a good enough distance from the outlying, standoffish Purple Cloaks base, where PC guards surrounding the perimeter won't detect anything suspicious.) [b]Atticus:[/b] Aight now, I think I got an idea on how I'm sneakin' in. What y'all got? [b]Saitonia:[/b] It's quite public that the SIU and the Purple Cloaks are rivaling. Whatever way we do it; whether it's all of us going in or just me and Atticus, they will know the SIU is behind this mission. [b]Male SIU Agent:[/b] Why not let them? When they see camera footage of us storming in, taking out their minions, and taking the intel, the PC and even this [b]CYOKONA[/b] itself will know who they're messing with. *A call is coming from the headpieces of the SIU agents, answering itself to reveal [b]Segoma[/b]'s voice.* [b]Segoma:[/b] *on comms* Agents, Sai, Atticus, it's me, [b]Segoma[/b]. Director requested that I'll watch over. The drone is coming in. To start, I'll activate its cloaking device, then drop a blackout grenade to disable the technology within the base. *The SIU drone arrives surprisingly fast, appearing right behind the squad. Another male SIU agent hands Sai and Atticus spare headpieces, informing them: [i]"Put these on. Agent [b]Segoma[/b] is on the communications feed."[/i], watching the 2 put on the headpiece.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] So an aerial guardian? Cool. [b]Male SIU Agent 2:[/b] Wait for the drone to cloak itself and drop a blackout grenade into the base before making your moves. [b]Atticus:[/b] Gotcha. *[b]Segoma[/b] takes control of the drone, positioning itself to ensure the blackout grenade is launched directly at the base. A midnight blue glow emits from within the drone, charging for 3 seconds before firing the grenade from many meters away. A PC guard tries to shoot the grenade out of the air, but misses the shot, the grenade successfully disabling all technology from within the base.* [b]PC Guard:[/b] Sh[b]i[/b]t! We're being infiltrated! Guard the vault, I think they want our intel! *Several PC guards fire off some shots from their guns before running inside the base.* [b]Segoma:[/b] *from the comms* Yes. Sai, Atticus, clean house. [b]Atticus:[/b] *to Sai* Let's get to it, mans. *Sai leaps into the air before teleporting, getting ahead of Atticus, who camouflages within the gray, grainy plains, running towards the base.* *Sai appears on top of the base, vaulting inside through an open hatch. On the top floor, he's met with 5 armed PC guards, firing rifles at him, but Sai blocks by summoning a barrier around his body, then teleporting and flawlessly taking out the 5 guards with his [b]Erazerframe[/b]. Sai looks up to see a malfunctioning camera, destroying it with a simple energy blast before descending onto the lower floors.* *Atticus sneaks in through an open window, onto a wide hallway. His body then shifts to match the colors of the base interiors; purple and dark gray. While the guard in front of Atticus is on alert, he is unaware that Atticus is behind him, finding out too late as Atticus turns off his camouflage, then stealthily executes the guard with his special combat knife, which is a long, silver blade with burgundy glow, and a camo green hilt. 3 guards turn the corner, seeing that Atticus has taken out one of them, firing SMGs at him.* [b]Atticus:[/b] *as he takes cover behind a wall* Sh[b]i[/b]t. *looking down at his hands as he says lowly* Gotta put this [b]Terranovian[/b] magic to use. *Atticus exits cover, summoning a modified, black, red, and camo green, sawed-off/pump action shotgun, holding the trigger to charge up an upcoming shot, quickly pressing the trigger as a thick shell is driven into a guard's chest, causing an explosion that sends the other 2 nearby guards flying.* (Back outside the base, the SIU agents are held up, scouting for any guards.) [b]Female SIU Agent 2:[/b] Damn. They're making us look useless. [b]Female SIU Agent:[/b] Don't see it in that perspective, just look at it as a faster way of getting this mission done. Director was right about this Saitonia. C'mon team, should be getting cleared up. (Inside, Atticus guns down 4 PC guards down a flight of stairs. As he proceeds, he's met with an automatic door, sliding open to reveal Sai absolutely demolishing 10 PC guards inside a long hallway. Sai turns to Atticus, who is astonished by Sai's strength.) [b]Atticus:[/b]...Daaamn. This a cakewalk to you. Nah'mean, ya did kill a god, so I shouldn't be surprised. [b]Saitonia:[/b] The secret room should be down that hall. *pointing behind him* *The 2 traverse forward, walking through an automatic door to reveal a vault, filled with an arsenal, a gadget storage, and sitting in the middle is a large computer with a purple screen, with a wide, black and purple drawer under it, containing the proclaimed confidential information. The 2 slowly look around, observing the PC base's collection of resources as the SIU agents finally meet up with Sai and Atticus inside the vault.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] And here it is. Let's search the drawers, see where specifically the confidential intel is. *Sai and Atticus search through the drawers, starting from top to bottom. A shiny, gray file folder with text displaying in purple lighting: [CLASSIFIED], located on one of the bottom drawers, catches Sai's attention, prompting him to grab it and show Atticus.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] A nice display of intuition from the Director. *opening the folder* Let's see what the PC could be up to. *The SIU agents join the 2 to inspect the document. Upon reading a file, a concerned expression appears on Sai, turning to Atticus, wondering if he has the same thoughts.* [b]Saitonia:[/b] *sighs* The Purple Cloaks stay persistent when it comes to [b]Liomage[/b]. [b]Atticus:[/b] For real. "[b]Grigon Liomage[/b] Assassination Attempt Part lll"? _______________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b]
