You'd think a slender girl in a pink kimono should be easy to push around. But Rico finds himself unable to bring his full weight to bear on something so elusive; even as he shoves her away, she turns the movement into an elegant twirl, landing gracefully on her feet. Ramirez fires, over and over, but the constant spiral of wind-fluttering petals interferes with his sightlines. Each movement of her blade stirs the flower petals into motion. Is she controlling it? Does she have some kind of mystical power? She even cuts through the heavy urn that Rico throws at her, each half landing with a heavy thud behind her. Is she allowed to do that?

Well, when Heckler's intellectual analysis tells him to stomp real hard on one of the fans, it breaks apart, and when that happens, the wind dies down a little. Maybe not that mystical.

Over at the train, it's a goddamn bloodbath. The Yakuza probably assumed that twenty or thirty guys was a reasonable size for the final reserve backup squad to secure the train exit. Normally, it would be. But you're not normal, are you?

Live by the dodge, die by the dodge. Blackjack is struck twice, once from both sides, as she's finally caught one step behind in swordplay. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, she would have dodged at least one of these strikes. But not this time. This is that one time in a hundred. First a sharp cold stab to the back, then a sudden flash of light and agony from the front. Half her vision turns red. Then both sides go black.

She's still alive, but not for long, not with the rate blood is coming from what used to be her eye. Get someone to carry her out, if you can. If not, well, nice knowing you.

HCPD is here, by the way.

Emerging from the crowd of civilians in the rear of the train are yet another squad of assholes in suits with swords. They must have stocked the whole train with these bozos. Play rearguard, or try to stay one step ahead of them, your call.

Driving wildly in a stolen yakuza sports car, Tony narrowly swerves around a late night garbage truck as he races to catch up to the train. Wasn't he just telling himself it was time to get out of the game, that he was too old for this shit? And look at him now.

Just ahead, the train emerges from the elevated rail shelter and descends to the main streets. Tony considers his options. Great job catching up to the train and all, but he's still outside the damn train. What's he supposed to do?

Well, he could take out those yakuza drivers who just showed up, that would be a good start.

Tokumei stands in front of the cowering informant. His few remaining men take up what defensive positions they can. They're scared, but they're ready to make you pay for each step forward.

Turn 11 begins.

>>6073063
"Oh what the hell are these jokers- -gak-" That was the sound of the swordswoman being surprised. A long, 40 inch sword through her right lung made it sound messy and rough, the instinctive cough ripping even more of the lung open. Then, the sword through the eye, completely severing the optical nerve makes her scream out in pain (or at least attempt to do so), making her wound worse in the brief moment before she passes out from pain shock. The swordswoman had been wounded before- but she had never been so quite grievously destroyed like this. She collapsed in the hallway in a bloody heap, still clutching her swords with a deathgrip, but utterly unresponsive. If she could think, she would probably be reflecting on her choice of career, and how angry her partner was going to be.

But she couldn't, so she wasn't. The closest thing to thoughts that went through her mind were AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA and ithurtsithurtsithurtsithurtsithurtsithurts. So there wasn't much going on upstairs anymore.

Nishina grimaces as she rips her blade out of the neck of the shinobi imitator, catching an artery in the pull and coating the sleeve of her kimono with blood. Her eyes leap forward to the next car, where Mifune awaits. So close, but it feels like a great chasm between them.

The doors between them slide open as a body slumps into the open button, and she knows she has to speak.

"[Tokumei! You can lie to yourself, but you cannot lie to me! You have nowhere else to hide, Mifune Rosanjin! I am Nishina Kaori! You killed my brother Torio! You stole my family's home! Come forward and prepare to die!]"

"On it."
With the tank half-empty, Napps draws the pistol, throwing a shot to the air and feeling a pair of cuts rip through his vest in return. A gut feeling tells him it's useless now - a feeling that solidifies at the sight of the offending swordswoman, an arm's distance away. Hurt, bloodied, sword sheathed - but not done. Not running. Not like the other.
Hermano would probably die here.
Napps wasn't Hermano.

With the fans broken, the wind dies down and those flower petals stop whirling around. It's a lot easier to come to grips with the girl this way. Angela finally knocks her down with a solid punch to the jaw, the first really solid hit on her that collapses her frail form to the ground.

"You want her alive?" Angela asks, looking up at Rico.

"She's just a kid," Rico says. Looking down at her now, arrogance turning to pain and fear in her eyes, it seems obvious she didn't understand what she was getting into. "She talks a big game, but she's not a killer."

"Fine by me. Some of the people we let live after we had to kick their ass, they mellowed out afterwards. So far so good, I guess."

Meanwhile, Badger has Ray on the radio calling for a medevac, but Ray doesn't seem interested. "You know that, normally, when you drive a car into a wall, the car stops working, right?" His voice is nonchalant. "My cars cost big bucks, they're not like your dime store Bravados. Don't call me for this ape-brained destruction type of thing. Ask Angela, she loves it. Me? I drive."

"You motherfucker --" Badger squeezes the radio in his hand so hard a panel snaps off and goes flying.

"Relax," Ray says. "I thought this might happen, so I planned for it. Don't count on it happening again, though. This is a one-time bonus."

Somewhere nearby, a truck engine roars.

It's hard to call someone out with an emotional speech while on two different cars of a moving train. Especially with the extra noise coming from the gunfight in the back. But the threat is pretty obvious. Everyone knows what Nishina is saying. Everyone knows what a sword means.

Tokumei's not about to charge out from behind his defensive screen of flunkies, that would be stupid and he knows it. But it's clear from the flunkies' nervous glances and restless grips that they're increasingly aware of how fucked their position is. If they can hold out until the next stop, then maybe they can escape into the crowd. But until then, there's no way out, and they know it.

"Nishina," Horace says from right behind her. "My sword told me about what kind of man this guy is."

Nishina frowns. Even as a daughter of the land of samurai, Nishina feels a little uncomfortable about how much Horace likes that sword. But she says, "Go on."

"He is a duelist. He knows the tricks to cheese a one-on-one bout, and even besides trickery he has legitimate skill from experience in many duels. He has slain many. People like your brother were lured into what they believed was a fair fight, only to be taken off guard by his skill and unexpected moves. If you try to handle him alone ... I'm afraid you'll be outmatched."

"I don't care," Nishina says, gripping her sword tightly. "I have to do this. No matter what the danger to myself."

Horace smiles. "That's why we're here, though. So you don't have to do this alone. Just rely on us, okay?" With a jaunty motion, she swings the Highlander up to rest on one shoulder. Wrath stance, it's called. "Besides. You're not the only one with a hungry sword."

[Tokumei rapidly builds up bonuses against isolated targets, or from attacking the same target repeatedly.]

Still on the subject of fated encounters.

Mizuchi deflects and counter-strikes, a perfect stroke that bypasses the guard of his more inexperienced foe. Another blood spray, another collapsed body. Life-or-death battles have forged the pretend assassin into a real one. Whatever his humble origins or imagined fantasies, Mizuchi has in truth become one of the deadliest killers of the city.

But there's always other fish in the pond, hungry for a bite.

The sudden appearance of another man in a suit makes Mizuchi raise his blade in defense, but the other guy doesn't make a move. His stance is relaxed, hands in his pockets, blade in its sheath. He's the same height as Mizuchi, same build, same attitude. Same shape of sword at his side. He doesn't say anything for a moment after the greeting, or look directly at Mizuchi, he just casually observes the situation.

"You going to throw down for this loser?" Mizuchi says, indicating the fat guy in the suit who this has all been about.

"Who, me? Nah." Orochi gives the informant a swift kick to the leg, knocking him over. The Sumi clan member shouts something, enraged, and swings his blade. A skillful strike. He doesn't stand a chance. Orochi ducks and steps underneath the path of the blade, and swipes upwards as he stands. The Sumi's neck is neatly severed, head and body tumbling separately to the ground.

"Nah," Orochi says again, as if nothing had happened. He spins the katana to flick blood off, then wipes the rest off with a cloth. Still with his back turned, he says "I'm here for you, Mizuchi. Heard a lot about you. Wanted to see for myself if you were the real deal."

Orochi turns around, and his eyes meet Mizuchi's for the first time. His killing intent slams into Mizuchi like a physical force.

Mizuchi tenses to meet an attack, but the sensation dies away before anything happens. Orochi shakes his head. "Not now. This would have no meaning. Heal your wounds, Mizuchi. Grow strong. When you're ready ..." He makes a swift movement with his arm. A throwing knife pins a note to the wooden wall near Mizuchi. "You'll know where to find me."

Orochi walks away, giving a casual wave as he does. "Seeya."

Turn 12 begins.

“ Anyone else want anything I can keep going the rest of the day if anyone’s still going to throw down “

Because it’s like thirty seconds to midnight right? Everything hurts. There’s been so many walls. She keeps being throw into or through or at them. Kit’s had interactions with walls that she did not countenance architecture capable off. But at least it’s starting to be ove—

“ WHAT THE SH—- “

It isn’t because the walls of the hallway collapse inwards and Kit gets pelted by brick, mortar and falling dust. Coughs. Waves a hand at the dime store Katana guy. He’s got this. This is officially too much wall based internaction for one night.

Nishina breathes for a moment, staring into the smoke. She turns over her shoulder to look at Horace, her expression iron-hard. Deliberately, she unclenches her jaw, then nods. "Thank you for your support."

She's the first one through the smoke, ducking and darting, swirling her flowery kimono about herself to distort her silhouette as she closes in. "[Die!]"

Those that had already fallen either flitting through the last puffs of wind, or sticking to the stained ponds and streaks of blood on the ground. It shakes Napps from his following of Rico's plan. A plan has to be made in the moment, and acted-on in the next.

He doesn't need to glance at himself to know the difference between them: near-untouched, spry, weapon at the ready, versus a shredded armor vest, adrenaline to descend, and a gas tank sloshing half-empty.

Trust them to fend for themselves, trust them to fend for you.

"Rico." He holsters the chainsaw, bending over to toss the unconscious swordswoman over his shoulder. "Between the two of us, you've got more hutzpah and vigor to take the lead. I'll carry the girl, support where I can - you just keep us alive till the end."

He glances at Angela, before drawing his pistol and moving out. "Stay breathing, boss!"

Riptide looks at the dramatic entrance that Ray's Truck made. Doctor Ben is fulfilling his title and exfiltrating Blackjack before she's gone for good, D. Spenser is leaving with the primary objective, and Ninja Ninja sneaks out like his namesake.

Napps!

Mizuchi is absolutely dumbfounded by the sequence of events that just unfolded before him. That man looked a frightening amount like him, but he didn't have any siblings back in Toronto. The rational part of his mind, shrinking further every day, feels this might be a hallucination from the copious amounts of morphine, flashing lights, and adrenaline.

It's the coolest thing he's ever experienced.

The Ronin collects the kunai and its message, grinning. "I'll show you I'm number one, Orochi! You can count on it, eh?" Turning back to the Sumi he's been dueling, his gaze turns sharp. "But you need to get out of my face."

It's over in seconds. The cell guards don't even have time to draw their guns. The stranger flicks the blood off his katana before sliding it home into its sheath.

"Let's get you out of there," he says as he unlocks the cell door. "Oh, and you'll probably want this."

As Dokkebi exits the cell, the man hands her a familiar shape. Her face. She holds it reverently.

The exfiltration process starts. Ray's improvised escape truck holds 12. Normally you could fit more people inside the back of a semi-trailer, but there's two cars in there already. The cars are the most normal-looking sedans you can imagine, just barely big enough to squeeze in six people (someone will have to take the trunk). These are the perfect escape vehicles if your goal is to disappear anonymously into traffic. All that needs to happen is for Ray to get out of view long enough to open the back and let you all drive out. Breaking line of sight from police pursuit in a huge fucking truck might normally be impossible, but that's why they call Ray one of the best.

Four more spots inside the truck. Assuming you reserve two for Tony's goons -- you wouldn't leave Tony's goons high and dry, would you? -- that's two left.

Everyone else is going to have to fight through to the southeast corner to Ace and Molly's pickup -- or find your own way out past the police cordon closing in. You've got a clear shot for now, or at least clear-ish. But that won't last long.

The train is filled with bodies now, men in black suits clutching at their missing limbs or spurting arterial blood onto the floor. There's only two men left standing. Unfortunately for you, one of them is worth all the rest combined.

In the back, the informant nervously clutches his briefcase like a shield, as if it would protect him.

In front of him, though, there's Tokumei, impassive and unyielding as a stone wall. You're going to have to get through him to get the job done.

It took them a while, but the cops are showing up in force now. They might have already called in SWAT, and if they haven't, they definitely will once they realize once they're dealing with. HCPD already hated your asses before the safehouse incident, now they REALLY hate you. They're going to bring in the big guns, and soon. You've got one informant in the bag; as for the second one, you just have to hope the train squad does their job.

Guess that's what happens when you don't listen to your sword's advice. So long, Horace the 2nd. We'll miss your saucy attitude and destructive ruination. And your fat ass.

Mei Lin tries to help out, and eats shit for her trouble. Tokumei's blade seems to nullify the electrified gadget in her gloves that she blocks with. He sweeps her defenses aside and goes for the kill, a piercing thrust that would kill a woman less indomitable.

You might have him cornered and outnumbered, but this could easily go real bad, real fast. In fact, that's already happening.

Mizuchi makes like a bat out of hell, using his superior parkour skills to absolutely haul ass through the burning building. He presses himself up against the crashed truck in the lobby, trying as best he can to catch his breath through the rapidly spreading smoke and flame. He needed every ounce of stamina he had for this last run. This was tight even for him. He could only pray his friends had it in them to escape too.

As Heckler swiftly removes a rolled up duffle bag from his Tac Vest, a thought struck him Mizuchi had seen Orochi walking off towards the backrooms, and had somehow escaped the building. After quickly stuffing his bag full of loot, he shuffles into the only open door that hadn't been called out over the team communications. With a quick shift of his rifle, Heckler gets to work trying to figure out how to escape along the same passageway shouting, "Aye wait up. I got a few questions first."

Everyone who's taking the truck piles in. Kitt and Spenser slap some improvised restraints on the informant, a pudgy white guy in a tailored suit that, despite its quality, can't hide his girth. He's yapping at top speed while squirming, swapping rapidly between threats, pleas, and bribe attempts in an effort to weasel out of this somehow. He even demands to see his lawyer once. Eventually Badger gets tired of listening and thumps him in his big gut, not enough to do any damage but enough to shut him up for a while.

Almost everyone else heads to the pickup vans. There's a handful of yakuza and cops in your way, but nothing you can't handle. Angela is back out there on the streets, running interference on anyone else trying to come this way in particular. So you've got a straight shot at escaping for another few minutes.

Alejandro already took off in a Zero he stole from the yakuza; unfortunately a handful of the police noticed his departure in a car covered with blood and broken glass, and turned off to pursue him. Alejandro is [Chased], using a Zero's driving stats.

Heckler has his own ideas. Going after an infamous assassin on his own might not be the wisest idea, but Heckler is hardly known for being the sane and reasonable one of the gang.

"[You killed my brother!]" Nishina shouts as she clashes swords with Tokumei. "[You took my home! My family! You took everything from me!]"

Tokumei smiles at Nishina over the crossed blades, his single eye glinting as the streetlights outside rush past, a repeating pattern of light and darkness. "[How many have you killed to pursue me? How many brothers and fathers have you turned into ash? Do you think there's a girl out there right now, just like you, a sister who's swearing revenge against her brother's killer, preparing to devote her life to hunting you down?]"

"[That's--]" Nishina's grip tightens on her sword handle as she strives to push forward. "[It's different! I'm not like you!]"

Tokumei laughs as he catches Nishina's blade on his. He shoves hard, sending her reeling backwards. "[You have no moral high ground to stand on. You lost that right when you stepped onto the road to revenge, giving up human feelings to walk the demon's path. I at least have my ambitions. You have nothing but hatred."]

An explosion, deafening in the close quarters, as the impact grenade goes off. Glass shatters, steel breaks and bends. Ears ringing with a high-pitched whine and with the scream of the wind forcing its way in through the impact hole, a stunned and exhausted Nishina sees Tobias, ever the efficient hitman, shove Tokumei, forcing him backwards towards the gap.

For a moment, Tokumei tries to regain his balance. Just as it seems he will, Jackal's bullets tear into him. Losing control, he falls from the train.

Nishina leans out just in time to briefly catch a glimpse of his bloodied body, lying still in the middle of the street.

The truck and vans take off, leaving a blasted and burning building. There's almost nothing left of the Ura-Yakuza, or of the Sakura Garden commercial complex itself. The flames begin to rise high, framing the drifting pink petals of the trees, the fallen arcade machines still displaying glitched images on broken screens. Blood, severed digits, and strewn guts are found painted on walls, across floors and furniture, even on the ceiling.

Ms. Yamada will be happy.

The one place in the building left relatively unscathed is Toshiro's Sushi. Tony briefly considers if he could swing back and drop off a bomb before the HCPD notices him. Better to play it safe, he decides ... for now.

One man who didn't escape with the rest of the group is Heckler. He has the idea to grill the escaping assassin, Orochi, and maybe hype up his friend Mizuchi in the process.

However, Heckler's exhausted and wounded after a long battle. He's pursuing a man adept in stealth and urban traversal. And he's in enemy territory.

Unable to find his target, Heckler is just deciding to call off the hunt, when he hears a voice coming from behind him. "What do you want?"

Heckler slowly turns to see Orochi standing there, eyes hidden behind sunglasses. One hand rests casually at his side, the other holds his sheathed katana near the top, one thumb on the sword guard. He opens his mouth to respond, but Orochi raises his free hand. "Actually, never mind. I don't care."

A lightning-fast motion. The hilt of the sword drives forward, striking upwards with precision to jam into Heckler's solar plexus. His diaphragm paralyzed, Heckler coughs and wheezes, trying to catch his breath back and keep his lunch down at the same time. He manages to stay standing, but just barely, only staggering back a few steps. He tries to talk, but nothing's coming out.

In a flash of light, the sword is drawn. Heckler forces himself to dodge back, but Orochi wasn't actually aiming for him. The straps of both his gun and the duffel bag of cash are severed. Orochi kicks the gun away, the metal shape spinning into the shadows of the alleyway. He sheathes the sword, then bends over to pick up the bag. "Give Mizuchi a message for me. Tell him this is between me and him alone. Tell him that if he sends any more of his punk bitch friends after me, I won't just rob them. I'll kill them."

Taking the duffel bag, Orochi vanishes into the shadows. Heckler gasps as his lungs start functioning again with a sudden jolt; he draws his pistol and fires, aiming into the darkness, but hits nothing.

The train slows to a stop. The harsh glare of police car headlights beams into the blasted train car.

There's dozens of the bastards out there, waiting for you.

If there's a god up there, he's probably not on your side. The best you can hope for here is a deal with the devil.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

The helicoper zooms in. A familiar figure in a mask stands at the side gunner door, behind a gigantic mounted machine gun. The gun opens up in a devastating barrage on the crowd of police, a swarm of bullets like deadly hornets that sting and chew through flesh and armor and metal alike. Spent ammo casings cascade like a waterfall of brass and smoke.

In the brief window of chaos and blood, an opportunity to escape is seized.

The machine gun's ammo belt clicks empty, The helicopter flies away. By the time the police have recovered from the onslaught and gotten organized, their quarry is already gone.

Epilogue 1

A trail of blood leads from the street to the alley, a dark hole hidden between splashes of neon glare. Tokumei drags a broken leg behind him as he limps to this shelter, collapsing once within the welcome embrace of the shadows. He puts his back up against the wall, breathing heavily, dizzy with blood loss, soaring on adrenaline above the pain. Somehow alive.

"Impressive." A voice speaks from the shadows. "You might say nobody could have survived all that, and yet here you are."

"They're monsters," Tokumei whispers. "I heard the stories, but I didn't believe ..."

"You really should have," the voice says. "They're monsters we created. And we did the job right."

Tokumei groans as the pain wells up like an ocean. "I need to get to the hospital, fast. Please."

A burst of genuine laughter. "You thought I was here to help you? I didn't think you were so naive."

"But--" Tokumei's single eye stares wildly. "I did everything you asked. I was loyal--"

"A dog is loyal," the voice says. "But sometimes they need to be put down. You're a loose end, Mifune. Time to tie you up."

One last gunshot rings out through the night streets.

Epilogue 2

Ramirez isn't sure where Heckler went to, but that's normal. The two might be war buddies who would die for each other in a heartbeat, but that's different from being friends. Neither of them really "do" friends. There's the job, and the money, and the gang. There's surviving, one day at a time. And that's it.

Having almost died (again), Ramirez needs to rest up some before he goes anywhere else. He arrives at his hole-in-the-wall apartment in Princeton. The floor is shaking with loud music, as it often does at this hour. Ramirez collapses into an armchair. He'll dig out the bullets in a minute, but for now he just wants to sit here in peace.

That's when the phone rings.

Ramirez is tempted to ignore it. But there's a very small group of people he's given out this phone number to, and all of them are important. He winces as he gets up from the chair and limps over to the kitchen, where the phone is, and picks it up. "What do you want?" he grunts.

"Hey, is that any way to greet an old friend?" An unfamiliar male voice replies.

Ramirez takes a moment to place the voice's owner, then it clicks. His eyes narrow. "It's you."

"It's me!" the voice agrees. Ramirez has never learned the man's real name, only a string of aliases. But their acquaintance dates back to his days in the military. He was some kind of spook, often interacting with the higher-ups as a liaison between the armed forces and one of the three-letter agencies. Ramirez was never able to nail down exactly which organization he worked for. "How did you get this number?"

"Please. I'm insulted you would ask."

"... fine. What do I call you now?"

"I'm Dave Smith these days." The man whose name was definitely not Dave Smith said, "You should sound happy to hear from me. I'm calling to help you out!"

"By help me out, do you mean send me on a wild goose chase that almost gets me killed, like that time in Cambodia?"

"No, no, nothing like that. In fact, it's the opposite, I'm paying my debts. A lot of guys in my line of work would just leave you twisting in the wind, but I like to help out my old friends where I can."

"That's bullshit. You have some ulterior motive, I just don't know what it is yet."

"Could be," the man says. "But this is too good for you to pass up. I happen to know that the little outfit you're running with these days has run into some trouble. Lost your HQ, to be specific. Now you're drifting. Could be that I can help you with that. Help you fulfill a dream of yours at the same time, as it happens."

"How would you know about my dreams, 'Dave'?"

"Don't you remember that one time we shared drinks at the beachside bar? You got hammered and spilled your guts to me about the kind of base you wanted to build someday. That "soldier's paradise" you talked about. As it turns out, I've got just the right property for you to make it come true."

Ramirez straightens up. "You mean ...?"

"Ramirez, my old friend, how would you like to buy an oil rig?"

Epilogue 3

Noon the next day.

At the same time, all across the city, television screens flicker and change. Every channel tunes to the emergency broadcast station.

The mayor of Heat City, John Harland, stands in front of a podium draped in the American flag. Behind him are the towering skyscrapers of central downtown. The man stands with a commanding presence, his impressive physique detailed by his tailored suit. His jaw is set, and his eyes burn with intensity.

"My fellow citizens of this great city. For too long, we have cowered in fear under the shadow of crime. For too long, we have allowed ourselves to be held hostage by thugs, by scum, by low-life villains who make a mockery of justice. These criminals believe they own Heat City. They believe they can take what they want with impunity, ruling with fear and violence, terrorizing the people into submission. You, the people, whose hard work and dedication has built this fair city, only to have it burn down around you."

Footage taken from news helicopter cameras plays, multiple angles of all too familiar scenes. The bank robbery. The safehouse defense. And now, the Sakura Garden.

"These gangs have reduced our city to a state of chaos. Our homes and neighborhoods have become war zones. Our brave men and women of the HCPD, undermined by politicians and paper pushers, no longer have the power to stand between us and this senseless violence. Look at these scenes of carnage from recent events. Will we stand by and watch this happen, sending our brave police into the line of fire, only to be cut down by superior firepower?"

"No more!" Harland slams a heavy fist down on the podium, and leans into the microphone to speak in a voice booming with righteous fury. "I will not allow these parasites to feast on our city any longer! I will do whatever it takes to keep our people safe, and to bring justice to all who deserve it."

The mayor stands and straightens his tie. He looks directly into the camera. His eyes dare anyone to challenge him.

"As of today, I am declaring a state of emergency in Heat City."

>>6105513

The camera slowly zooms in as the mayor continues. His voice is resolute, filled with fiery determination.

"This special state of emergency act grants me all the powers and responsibilities necessary to return safety and justice to our streets. To the good and honest citizens of our city watching this right now, I hear you. I see your fear. And I promise you this: starting tonight, these streets will be ours again! And anyone -- ANYONE -- who stands in the way of law and order will be crushed like the vermin they are!"

"Citizens of Heat City, you know me. I expect the best, and I pay for the best. And today is no exception. To do a dirty job, you need professionals, and I've brought in the best in the business. They don't play by the rules for soft men, rules made by chicken-shit bureaucrats and limp-dick lawyers. These are warriors. They will restore the peace our city deserves. They will hunt down every last criminal, every last dirtbag, every last coward hiding in the shadows. And they will show no mercy."

Footage plays of private mercenary groups arriving at Heat City. Black Talon. Iron Shield. Vanguard.

"And to those criminals who are watching this right now. You think you can run wild in my city? Think again." The view returns to Harland, who points directly at the camera. "Heat City does not kneel to thugs and killers. We are the city of freedom, a city that stands proud, strong, and united. And we will take it back from you, by any means necessary."

A grim smile spreads across the mayor's face.

"So listen up, scum. You can run, or hide, or fight back. You can try anything you want, but it won't matter. Because you can't do shit! Our warriors of the law will find you. They will root you out of your rat holes. And they will bring you to justice.

"Thank you, and may God bless America."
