I'm the best damn scout we got, this is a prime opportunity to examine Queenie up close and personal. Not everyday I see such a rare creature and I [i]hate[/i] second hand reports."[/color][/quote] Her statement, however, would instantly be overruled by the Commander. [color=a9a9a9][b]"Negative."[/b][/color] the Commander firmly ordered as her scarlet eye turned towards Yurei, [color=a9a9a9][b]"We don't have the time or units onboard for such a risky ordeal. Your top priority is to~"[/b][/color] [color=red][i]"I can look for survivors and wayward troops while I'm at it."[/i][/color] she seemed to cockily reply as she laughed towards the exit, [color=red][i]"Don't try to stop me."[/i][/color] Yashiro wouldn't take her nonchalant response lightly. She knew fully well of her being very hardheaded and one to jump into the middle of the fray, however rarely if ever did she defy her superior officer's word. So whenever it did happen - like now - it would seem to strike a nerve within her. A good chunk of her fellow units had already attempted to issue their own bold sacrifices, risking their lives against a powerful kaiju they were not currently prepared to fight. The Commander was not going to risk letting her finest unit perish in battle. [color=a9a9a9][b]"I gave you a direct order, Agent Yurei."[/b][/color] the cyborg commander coldly responded as her mechanical arm began twitching ever so slightly, [color=a9a9a9][b]"I expect you to follow it. Both for you and the safety of the MFF."[/b][/color] But Miss Yueri, being sly as ever, looked over her shoulder and grinned. [color=red][i]"It's never worked in the past nor will it ever."[/i][/color] With that, she donned her mask and proceeded to disappear into thin air, leaving her Commander back on the bridge for her to deal with this alone. With a disgruntled sigh, Commander Yashiro proceeded to take matters solely in her hands as she observed the Dragon Queen overseeing the entire city while her rescue team took off to retrieve the fallen. While the MFF began to recover their fallen units, it would appear that the Dragon Queen's presence would be short lived. Her massive wings extended outwards before launching herself into the sky, leaving as soon as she arrived. Yashiro and her team would also see that Terrorkeet had also proceeded to retreat herself, but not before launching something, or rather someone, into the sky. [b][i]"Commander."[/i][/b] one of the operators hailed, [b][i]"We have just detected another kaiju being assisted by Terrorkeet."[/i][/b] Yashiro eyed the main screen in confusion, before noting a vague outline of an unidentified kaiju traveling up within the spiraling vortex. [color=a9a9a9][b]"Enhance."[/b][/color] the commander noted as she closely analyzed the footage. However, as they enhanced in one its position, they couldn't get a secure visual on the kaiju's appearance due to the intense wind turbulence. All they could pinout in that it was a white, quadruped, creature which possibly possessed fur. But the real question was how did it remain undetected? Could it be that it simply arrived late to the party? Or was it participating since the beginning and it somehow was able to cloak itself in plain sight? Questions upon questions flooded Yashiro's mind as she tried to piece together the entire story, but almost everything seemed to defy logical reasoning. This was one of Yashiro's most humiliating defeats in her recent record and it shamed her to think about it. She turned away from the screen and found herself talking to the chief operator. [color=a9a9a9][b]"Contact all high-ranking officials to meet me at the briefing room."[/b][/color] the Commander ordered gloomily as she made her way towards the exit, [color=a9a9a9][b]"There is much that needs to be discussed."[/b][/color]
