Mission 01: Synthetia (Synthesis) . Part A
He strolled into the usual hall of his workplace; face stone cold and steps calculated and menacing. Some heard rumours of the blond being a big shot heir to one of the leading hunter clans yet, most knew him by his codename. Jin, category Alpha, section SC - subunit REW. He was a man of great importance, an alpha whom held a great title at the Association of Supernatural Agency and Security Facility or ASASF.
The hunter was ordered to report to headquarters in exactly 0200 hours.
Jin entered the Director’s office, his unit already at the area. He scanned the room at first, taking in the fact that Rui was sitting by the side couch fiddling with his phone whilst Reita and Mitsuru were tinkering with a weapon at the other corner of the room. All eyes fell upon Jin the moment he had opened the double doors; he walked coolly to the front desk as the others followed in his suite.
“What’s the news Hyde-san?” Jin asked.
The brunet director had his elbows rested on his desk, chin placed on top of his intertwined fingers as caramel hues stared at the men in front of him “The Masahito pack.” he stated simply before one finger tapped at the screen on his desk and a hologram of their assignment appeared.
“There have been leads of ongoing werewolf massacres circling around this pack. In my opinion it’s premature to assume they’re the ones responsible yet, we can’t let this kind of havoc run about longer.” Hyde continued off as he pressed another button on his screen and numerous files of members of the pack, pictures of their wolf forms-other pictures of the massacred clans and reports spawned on the hologram “I need your unit to investigate the pack. If you find yourselves on a thin thread, your last option is to capture the leader for further interrogations by all means necessary.” he ended off, glaring at his men with much emphasis on his words.
“I don’t think the files downloaded on my phone were updated of the recent ones here.” Mitsuru interjected after their director had finished his words. The brunet had his phone out and was moving his eyes from the hologram in front of them to his phone, checking in all of the newer tweaks that were gathered from the pack.
“There seemed to be something wrong with the information center recently,” Rui sufficed this time, one hand brushing along his nape as he gave more focus on his phone with his other hand “System shut downs had been made the other night. I heard some unknown crypt files got in, staff is still trying to fix the bug though.”
They could all hear Hyde audibly sigh in irritation, the brunet’s hands rubbing along his face before they settled down to press at his temples “Ko-ki will help with the information that was gathered, just give him your phones. A hard copy folder will be given as well just in case.”
“So our main objective for now is to lay low and observe.” Jin questioned yet, it sounded more of a statement of reviewing their assignment “Would infiltrating the pack and joining be against mission protocol?”
“I don’t think any of us are wolf material to actually infiltrate Jin.” Reita countered the idea.
The blond turned his attention to the mare, one brow arching up before he set his gaze on Mitsuru “Mitsuru can probably use his kitsune form. It’d be no problem at all to press on illusions.”
Their kitsune hummed in reply, still reading a few files at the hologram Hyde had presented “Tricking them to thinking I’m a wolf would be easy.” Mitsuru answered “But, we don’t know if they have a member that’s dealt with illusions before. Much less, since our files have been corrupted recently we can’t be too sure.” he continued off before looking back at Reita and Jin “I’ll try out that plan if you guys want though.”
“I think it’s a little too risky.” Rui offered an opinion.
“I don’t care what your unit does to get information. Do whatever it takes to comprehend this problem; I can’t have the mortality rate of werewolfs increasing. This will cause chaos on the underworld.” Hyde cut them all off before they started throwing any more ideas at him “Find out what you can and report it to me by 23300 hours the next day on how you started.” he lifted a hand before waving at his men in a shooing manner “You are dismissed.”
The four men bowed at their director before quietly leaving the vicinity.
As they left with Jin leading in front' they walked the halls to the information center of HQ, before Jin started “Rui I need a scan of the entire area once the location is given, I need good spots for base.” He started off, giving orders to the others “Mitsuru I want a thorough study on every member, see if there’s someone who’s had a past with illusions.”
“I can’t believe we’re going on observation mode.” Reita whined out as he took a kit kat out of his pocket jeans once they had entered the information center.
“I was actually thinking of having you infiltrate at night; your shadow abilities would be really useful for this.” Jin said as he took out his phone and all four went to Ko-ki’s desk “But, you might feed off and give them nightmares. That’s just a disaster waiting to happen.” he continued with a smirk as Reita scowled at Jin “Yo, Ko-ki you have our assignment there?”
As Jin called out a red head poked out from under the desk as turned to look at the four hunters waiting at him. Ko-ki gave a cheeky smile, sitting back up on his chair and typing away on his computer “Just leave your phones here; I’ll have the hard copies printed out in a jiffy.”
They left their phones for the files to be downloaded, moving to one side of the place to discuss their new mission in private.
“So what’s our set-up?” Rui asked, back resting against a wall behind him.
“Once the files are studied we’ll see if we can do the infiltration plan. Reita, when the location's given I want you to scan the pack’s area. Tell me what kind of fears they’re going through at the moment.” Jin ordered whilst one hand shuffled to his pants pocket to grab a pack of cigarettes.
“It’ll probably take me all night or two days to fully study their members.” Mitsuru hummed out “We should give a week’s study on them before giving that plan a go-isn’t smoking here not allowed?” the brunet finished off with a question, brows arching up at Jin.
“Yeah, if you’re going to smoke at least share.” Reita added with a smirk, as he took his palm out to get one from the blond.
Jin shrugged, easily handing one smoke to Reita “I like not to keep in tabs with the rules at times,” he said smugly.
Mitsuru’s nose crinkled at the scent of their smokes “I really can’t deal with your alpha smokes. Why do you guys even like this brand? It makes alpha scents louder.” he complained whilst waving one hand in front of him to misdirect the smoke.
“Your smokes stink.” Rui agreed as he pinched his nose; the beta was never amused with Reita and Jin’s choice of cigarettes.
“Just smell the fresh air!” Reita countered with a laugh as he blew his smoke to Rui’s face.
Mitsuru groaned as Jin and Reita laughed at the beta “I’m going to check on the files.” He said before walking off from his unit. Jin’s attention averted and he quickly got rid of his cigarettes, smothering the burning tip on another small cigar case he uses to trash his smokes. He followed the kitsune to the front desk again, seeing Ko-ki typing up whatever computer codes the hacker was told to do.
“How’s the files?” Mitsuru asked as he leaned down to rest his elbows on the desk.
“Phones finished downloading; hard copies are out in a minute.” Ko-ki replied, eyes not straying away from his computer screen.
Mitsuru nodded at his words, taking his own phone to his hands as he checked the new information placed in it. He put his phone on hologram mode, letting Jin see the files as well. The kitsune clicked on the locations their informants found the Masahito pack; it seemed that the pack was rather oblivious to the fact that they’re now becoming prey as it was reported that the pack had never left their original base as of yet.
“That’s weird,” Mitsuru commented as he read the hectares and area description of the pack’s home.
“They’re in the Koushi province, located in the Zwuawei streets.” Jin read out loud.
Rui and Reita had come to his back, reading the files on Mitsuru’s phone hologram “That’s probably a three day drive.” Reita offered, not bothering to get rid of his smoke “Should we take the plane?” he asked whilst looking over to Jin.
“Hyde said we should report to him our progress by tomorrow 23300, so I’m guessing he’ll be pissed off if we decided to road trip this.” Rui explained off as he took his phone from the desk “I’ll have our plane checked, we’ll probably arrive at Koushi by daybreak tomorrow or earlier.” he continued off before his eyes went back to his team “That is if no problem comes with the staff on a hasty plane reservation.”
“Get me that plane. I want everyone to be geared up and ready by 3 hours.” Jin said to Rui as he took the file folder Ko-ki had placed on the desk “Rui, you keep this safe. Mitsuru give me a bullet background on the pack’s leader. We’ll have plenty of time to study the pack on our trip.” He said before walking away “3 hours guys,” Jin stated off finally with his back to his unit and three fingers up to remind them of their meeting later.
He started walking back to the halls and to the HQ’s safe room. The safe room was where employees could store items of theirs when in a hurry. It could be where you could store your usual necessities since some couldn’t make it back home after work when given another assignment or it could be a weapons locker room for you. Whichever a person would choose, Jin decided that his locker would be a good combination for both.
The blond entered one of the many safe room’s of their HQ, one of the staff bowing his head in greeting and Jin doing the same. He walked up to his room, the door gilded by a gold placate on top with his name Jin carved on it. The hunter took out his key and opened the room; lights automatically illuminated the said room. Jin took a bag from from the nearby desk and started stuffing down necessities. A few clothes and underwear were placed, though he mostly gave space for weapons. 4 guns, 6 butterfly knives, 2 detonators, a GPS tracker for just in case they would get lost.
“I need a map of Koushi.” Jin mumbled out as he walked to one side of his room to the drawers. He opened one on top, and showed a myriad of maps. The blond had always found it easier to work by paper than, holograms since that’s where he was first trained. Traditional hunters were his family; never leaving the old ways as they still progressed on to learn new hunting strategies. It was how their clan had survived for years.
“Koushi… Koushi…” the blond mumbled out as he had in his hands maps of the neighboring provinces of the said place instead. Jin grumbled in annoyance, his patience wearing thin on finding the map. He had just finished hunting down a rogue of Sirens on the other end of the country, got sidetracked going home since he read in reports of ghouls terrorizing the streets of Fleur in Joponggi, the city he was stuck in after his Siren assignment.
And now, as soon as Jin got home to Tokyo he was told to report back to HQ since Hyde was going to give him another assignment. If anyone were to ask, Jin would automatically answer that he’s fine but, the blond was drop dead tired-weary to the bone as he may add.
His phone started to ring all of a sudden, making Jin groan out in frustration as he took the device out of his pockets and answered “What is it?”
“You sound like shit,” Mao’s voice could be heard.
“What do you want Tsukushi?” Jin answered unamused.
“No more calling me Onee-chan? I feel hurt Kunihiko-chan.” His sister chuckled from the other line.
Jin winced at the name; it had been a long time since he was called by his real name “Can you please just tell me what you want. I have another assignment to go to in three hours and have no time to waste.” He exasperated.
“Another assignment?” His sister suddenly said in worry “Did you just get back a few hours ago?”
“Yes I did.” he answered dryly whilst taking out bathroom materials such as shampoo, scent hiders and soap hiders then, stuffing them down to his bag “But, Hyde gave me a new one as soon as I got back.”
“Well don’t go; I’ll just cover that one for you then.” Tsukushi ordered in her alpha tone, though it had almost little to no affect at all through the phone.
“I don’t need you to baby me.” Jin said harshly over the phone, eyes narrowing as he felt offended by his sister’s offer “Now, what did you initially call for. Mao-onee-san.” he said in a gravely serious voice, using his sister’s real name to get his point across.
He could hear the other sigh, she’s probably shaking her head in dismay-Jin could picture it in his head “I wanted you to check up on Jun to see if he’s fine. I’m currently in Shilla City finishing a job and I couldn’t contact him earlier since his phone's dead.” she admitted.
“Jun? You mean Tsukasa?” Jin said with an arched brow, stuffing a few more bombs and a couple of ropes inside his bag. He should probably take two bags with him to this trip.
“Yes Jin, Tsukasa.”
A grin formed on the blond’s lips, his tone suddenly going to a teasing one “Why do you wanna know what’s up with that omega?”
Tsukushi’s voice growled “Just do it. His omega scent will be good for you anyways.”
Jin laughed “Fine fine, I’ll message you later. Bye,”
“Thanks bro, good luck on the assignment. Take care.” with that, Jin hung up on the call.
