Prelude to War Hounds(CW)

[Kaori]

(This is for anybody who read's War Hound's its a short Backstory to my Fanfic)
2008 A.D A large-scale operation, known as "Operation Ragnarok", against the BETA(Beings of the Extra Terrestrial origin which is Adversary of human race) caused by Human Forces ends in success. However, in the aftermath of Operation Ragnarok, many people couldn't live their lives due to being so used to the fighting, as a result many countries are fighting each other and others find themselves out of a job , under these kinds of conditions, the Private Military Organization "War Hounds", which possesses a worldwide network, is connected to Mercenaries in every country and to supporting organizations, dedicate themselves to giving Job's to former soldiers and TSF Pilots who can't readjust to society. Yoko Tsubasa is also a Mercenary who receives requests from War Hounds. Along with her comrade Troy Parker, she goes on a mission in the american homeland…


America has piled up a large quantity of goods in Area 51, and was making preparations to attack. The mission of Yoko's group was to destroy this storehouse of goods. The method used to do this was ignored.

"However, there is one condition for Yoko from the client."

The contact a woman called Yoko by her name.

"Please thoroughly disguise the destruction of the storehouse so that it looks like an accident."

"Understood."

Yoko gave a short reply. There was no need to hear the client's identity or the reason for making that kind of condition. That was the style of the mercenary force War Hound's destruction operative, Yoko—.

Her face changed into that of a pompous-looking middle-aged man, and his clothes also changed into a suitably gaudy military uniform.

"Who do I look like?"

The woman that had been Yoko Tsubasa several seconds before looked over at Troy with a texan-like voice.

"From head to toe, like a gaudy-looking big shot of the American army."

"Correct."

The American officer grinned. Troy shrugged his shoulders.

"No matter how many times I see it, watching that always makes a chill go down my spine. Just how on earth are you able to do that?"

Yoko could freely become anyone. She perfectly copied not only a person’s appearance, but also their voice and gestures. The power of her mind, the power of a 00 Unit tricked the brains of all those who saw Yoko. However, its effective time was about 5 minutes. Since the time of the deception ended with any warning, she couldn't accurately predict the timing. If she activated it a second time, she would have to wait for at least an hour before she could activate it again. But, compared to the benefits of this ability, such conditions were only small and insignificant restrictions.

"This is an inspection of compliance inventory. Open the storehouse."

Yoko's order was accepted without any questions. Once the sentries opened the storeroom, Yoko quickly killed them, and then deactivated her ability and invited in Troy, who had been hiding. They added a trap to the explosives stabilization storage system, and then promptly headed towards the exit. However, Yoko's feet stopped.

"What’s wrong?"

"Someone's watching us."

A strange sense of danger. It was definitely the strange sensation of being watched—.

"You people over there. Wait a moment."

A young American Pilot stopped both of them. His attire showed that he was a a TSF Pilot for he was wearing a Fortified Suit. Approaching with several armed soldiers, his expression eloquently indicated that he didn't have the attitude of facing soldiers who happened to be passing by.

They couldn't be caught here. They both drew their weapons as they threw off their costumes and fired. Two of the armed soldiers were killed. Then, they threw smoke grenades, and the enemy's sight was taken away. All at once the surroundings were wrapped in yells and screams. Taking advantage of the confusion, the two of them ran towards the exit. But—.

"Stop!"

An F-22A Raptor remodeled for desert combat came rushing out from within the smoke. The voice streaming out from its speaker was that of a Woman.

"Don't let them get away, Sharon!"

The Pilot who first called out to Yoko and Troy shouted that. The F-22A piloted by the woman called Sharon fired a Shot. In front of the running Yoko and Troy, the Rapid stream of bullets got in their path. Yoko quickly slid and passed under the bullets. However, Troy was flung backwards by impact of the bullets. He rushed to stand up, but the American soldiers had already caught up with him. Several F-22A's were also headed towards him.

"Drop your weapon and surrender."

The voice from the F-22 ordered this. At that instant, the wall that surrounded the base was broken through and a huge military-use trailer rushed out. The trailer drifted using a strong braking maneuver and threw out its sturdy storage-container towards the F-22A. The F-22A barely jumped out of the way, but it plunged into a building behind it. The building crumbled and rubble rained down on the F-22A.

"Nice timing, Martin!"

"Don’t rejoice so soon. Fresh supplies of troops are joining in."

Just as Yoko said, there were four F-22's trailing them and closely approaching. Yoko and Troy rushed over to the trailer.

"Open up. I'm going out in my Type-00A!"

Once Martin opened the container, a catapult palette loaded with a white TSF came out from inside. It had an unusual headpiece that made one think of a giant beetle. This was Yoko Tsubasa's personal TSF, the Type-00A Takemikazuchi.

"Catapult opened. Type-00A Takemikazuchi, launching!"

Through a compressed magnetic field, the Type-00A was shot out from the container. While still in the air, Yoko brought out a Type-87 Assault Cannon.

"Eat this!"

The high-pitched roar characteristic of an ultra-high output assault cannon resounded multiple times. Whirling up a cloud of dust whirling from the shock wave, the sabot-type 36mm high-initial-velocity Tungsten armor-piercing ammunition's that fired were guided by the aim of the Takemikazuchi's enhanced Sensors on its head and accurately pierced through the cockpits of four American F-22's. Without knowing what had happened to their bodies, the pilots of the four F-22's had their flesh completely destroyed and they were instantly killed.

Following the Takemikazuchi, Troy launched in his personal TSF as well. It was an F-22A Raptor that he had gotten during Operation Ragnarok, but it was a custom model that had been given a radical tune up according to Troy's preferences. Its weapons were a pair of customized 36mm AMWS-21 Combat System Assault Cannons. Its power was inferior to the power of Takemikazuchi's Rounds, but with a rapid fire rate of over 2000 rounds per minute that disregards the lifespan of the gun barrel, it blew away the approaching enemies literal side blows.

"Martin, get the truck out of here!"

The trailer rushed out of the base. Yoko changed her Assault Cannon's shells to a 120mm shot and destroyed a building on the roadside in order to block the pursuers path.

"Make it look like an accident, huh. That was some diversionary tactic."

Martin raised his voice to speak with a pleasant-sounding laugh.
______________________________
Just when the three of them started to think that they succeeded in losing their pursuers, a swallow-like shadow appeared in their path.

It was a black TSF that possessed a silhouette clearly different from the other TSF's. It even had an ominous elegance that hung in the air from the Miniguns fitted onto both its shoulders. Yoko had only laid eyes on a frame similar to this in a data file he had seen once. The TSF that it was rumoured that the American army was using in Europe, the A-10 Thunderbolt II. This TSF was likely a derivative frame of the same type as that one.

(This guy!)

Yoko had an instinctive hunch. The uneasy feeling that she had felt in Area 51 was being emitted from this TSF. It was possible to read writing on an emblem stenciled onto the crimson frame that seemed to be its squad emblem, which read as "Infinities". Yoko had noticed that the F-22 that first appeared in the base had also worn the same squad emblem.

The Infinities TSF's Miniguns pointed forward.

"What the heck are those!?"

It wasn’t unreasonable for Troy to cry out unconsciously like that. It took a fighting stance with two unsheathed Melee Halberds in both hands and advanced forward.

Yoko held back Troy and went out with the Takemikazuchi. Her instincts told her that only she could be this person's opponent.

She drew out her assault cannon. She fired a 36mm armor piercing bullet.

However, the enemy skillfully manipulated its Jump units and continued advancing while avoiding the bullet’s path. This wasn't average TSF piloting skill.

The Takemikazuchi returned its assault cannon.

At that instant, the enemy's slash came. The Takemikazuchi caught it with its right arm. Sparks flew brilliantly.

"Yoko!"

Troy cried out. As good as the Takemikazuchi was, he couldn't safely feel at ease if she directly received a slash like that. But—.

Having stored away and replaced the assault cannon, the Takemikazuchi had drawn out a Type-74 PB Blade and had stopped the enemy's Melee Halberd with it.

"Troy! Return the Raptor to the trailer."

The enemy was equal to Yoko in both skill and the performance of its TSF. Moreover, it was clear that the enemy's goal was to keep Yoko and the others here. If the fight was dragged on, reinforcements would arrive and escape would become difficult.

"Martin! I'm using "that". Switch over to the back-up power."

Yoko reversed towards the trailer and faced towards the enemy. Perhaps sensing something from that stance, the Black TSF got a suitable distance away.

"Charge complete, safety released. Reaching diffusion critical point—Ameterasu, activate!"

An impulse of electricity gushed out from the Type-00A. It interfered with energy sources, and stopped the movement of energy. The Infinities TSF lost the power to move and stalled in place on its knees. Of course, the Takemikazuchi was the same as well.

Yoko opened the cockpit and stood on top of the Takemikazuchi. The enemy pilot also came out at the same time. Yoko strained her eyes to stare.

"…A woman, huh."

She seemed to be about the same age as her? Of course, a female Pilot wasn't strange. However—.

"—Impossible!"

She unintentionally let her voice leak out.

The girl standing on top of the Black TSF had the exact same face as Yoko. It was like looking into a mirror. The girl was also openly shocked and glared at Yoko.

"Who… Are you?"

The words, spoken at the same time by the two women that had the same face, flowed into the wind.

[Kaori]

"Who…are you?"

Those words flowed into the dusk evening. The girl’s voice, which sounded the same as hers, seemed to overlap and speak in unison with her voice. This stimulated the deepest recesses Yoko's mind, and a distant memory was stirred.

"You're—"

Without even being conscious of it, Yoko's mouth tried to issue the name of the girl, when—a flash occurred on the horizon far away. Slightly delayed, the sound of an explosion and the shock wave arrived and seized them.

"!"

Yoko came back to her sense. The explosion just now was at the goods stockpile at Area 51.

"You ****!"

The girl seemed to snap and rushed over towards her. Her expression of fury and the knife she held in her hand demonstrated that she had realized the truth of the explosion at Area 51. Yoko also reflexively prepared to use the knife she had on her. But, before their blades could cross, a black silhouette gently alighted down between them.

"This isn’t the time for you two to fight. Put away your blades."

The black silhouette was an familiar-looking TSF. It was an Su-47 Berkut. A man had appeared from the cockpit and gave that order to Yoko and the girl. His face looked asian but his hair was a light brown.

"Go, Yoko Tsubasa. The pursuit forces will arrive here at any moment."

While the man restrained the girl, Yoko housed the Takemikazuchi in the trailer and retreated from there. The man also seemed to follow suit afterwards and disappeared. The girl was left alone in the dessert.
