#haha port thought for once he had someone who would make him their priority

[sorvete-de-pacoca]

Once again I come to deliver independence drama™ and instead of a calm and collected Portugal he throws a tantrum and looks so miserable saying "Why I'm always left behind? Why my love is never enough?"

And Brazil coldly replies "your love was enough, until you decided mine wasn't. So I too wanted something more"

Chapter 1: The Encounter

Written by:

Alexa Kurdelak

Time:9:00 p.m Cairo, Egypt, Location: Outskirts of Talon base.

“There are one, two, ten ,twenty talon soldiers, maybe even more on that base” said an unknown voice. “Relax Jackson, it’s nothing I haven’t dealt with before,” said an unknown female with binoculars in her hand. “Yeah but Luna do we even know if “he will actually be there,” he said. Luna sighed, putting away her binoculars and gearing up. “I trust the intel that Zoe found and besides this is the best lead I’ve got right now,” Luna said putting the mask over her mouth and pulling her hood up. A moment of silence and then Jackson spoke “I know just please be careful Lu”. Luna laughed a little, “I will and I trust you will be my eyes in the sky” she said as she released a robotic beetle. “Always” Jackson answered.

Luna hopped the fence to the base and used her blowgun with sleep darts to knock out a couple of guards. “Looks like there’s an entrance just up ahead, but you’re going to need a keycard,'' said Jackson. “A keycard huh” said Luna hiding behind a wall. “I take it those two guards might have the keycard we need”? “Yeah.. I mean it’s possi-”, before Jackson could finish his sentence Luna ran out and wrapped her forearm around one of the guards throat with the blade of a dagger resting on his neck. “Ahh, Ahh Ah. If I were you I would put that gun down, unless you want your buddy here to die” she said to the guard pointing the gun at her.  “Not that you care but the blade against your skin is coated in the toxins from poison dart frogs and I’ve never seen it’s effects on a person before though I’m down for anything really” said Luna in a sadistic tone. Luna felt the guard shift when he heard what might happen to him. 

Luna realizing the guards shift she changed her tone “Of course that all depends on your friend pointing the gun at me”.  “The way I see it is you have two options: option 1: your buddy holding the gun hands me the key card and you both live or option two: I kill you then I kill your buddy and take the key card for myself”. “It’s your choice,'' Luna said. The talon guard seeing no other option pulls the keycard out of his pocket and walks over to Luna, “here” said the guard.  “Now you will keep your word, that we will live”, said the guard that Luna is holding hostage. Luna taking the key and answering “of course you have my word”. Without the guards seeing Luna grabbed two of her sleep darts and used one on the guard she had as a hostage, then before the other guard realized what had happened she already threw the other dart and put him to sleep too. “Goodnight boys,” said Luna walking over them and towards the keypad. “I’m always impressed on how you take people down so fast,'' said Jackson. “Well I did have great teachers” Luna replied with a smile. Luna placed the keycard in the slot and the door opened.

“I won’t be able to communicate with you once you enter so you will be going in blind,'' said Jackson. “However I will be able to hack into their cameras so your movements will go unnoticed”.  Luna smiled, “Sounds good, see you on the other side”. 

Moving through the base as quietly as she can to find her target. She suddenly hears some voices coming from the room down the hallway, and so now crouching Luna inches herself to where the voices are coming from. Luna leans up against the wall and realizes the voices are coming from just around the corner, judging by the voices she could tell that someone with a raspy weird sounding voice was giving somebody (possibly a talon soldier) orders. Luna then heard footsteps walking away from her location and with a sigh, she peeked her head around the wall to see that the two who were speaking left. Still moving down the corridor Luna comes up to an interface and takes out the flashdrive Jackson gave her and puts it in the usb port. “It’s up to you now Jackson” Luna whispered to herself.  Jackson on the other side of the world hacked passed the firewall and began downloading data from the Talon base. “Wait, no, no, No” Jackson said as the connection has been stopped and the data frozen. An alarm startled Luna “what’s going on, she thought to herself. “Luna, Luna can you hear me, you have to get out of there Now!” said Jackson.

Luna surprised answered “Jackson what’s going on”? “How are you able to hack into their frequency?”  “I tell you about that later but right now my priority is getting you out of here, so I will guide you to the best of my ability,'' Jackson answered. “Okay, I trust you,” said Luna as she starts running to try to escape. “Okay so down this hall and to the right there is an exit,” said Jackson looking at the base blueprints. “Okay” said Luna already at the coordinates Jackson told her, “but we have one little problem and I’m not doubting you at all, it’s just this is a dead end”. No, you’re in the right area your exit is right next to you, the air duct”, Jackson said. Luna sighed, “Great, what’s a mission without crawling threw an air duct”. “Yep well you better hurry, company’s coming from both sides,” said Jackson. Without a moment to lose Luna removed the air vent, climbed inside the air duct and tried to put back the air vent so no one would get suspicious. “So how is it going”?, asked Jackson in a teasing way. Luna still struggling to get through the air duct “Oh, you know it’s a little difficult when you have a bunch of gear on you plus not having to waste my oxygen since there’s barely any in here,'' said Luna annoyingly. Jackson laughed, “So anyway how much farther do I have to go to find the exit,'' asked Luna. “Not to far, just ahead of you actually is the outside world,'' said Jackson. Once Luna reached the exit she situated herself to kick the air vent lose, once the air vent hit the ground she jumped down to the ground. 

Catching her breath, Luna leaned up against the wall to rest before she escapes the base. “Once these guards pass you, it’s a clear shot to kick off the wall near the fence and jump over it, then you’re home free,” said Jackson. Once the talon soldiers pass her she sticks her head out to make sure the exit is clear. *Bang* a gunshot was fired just above her and miraculously the bullet just grazed her arm. “Argh” said Luna as she grabs her arm and runs out into the open to find the person that shot her. Luna drew her crossbow and looked up at the roof to see “him”, the one they call Reaper. Reaper had jumped down from the building and once he hit the ground he turned into this black smoke and turned back to his human form. Luna realizing that if she doesn’t take care of her arm soon she is going to lose a lot of blood. Thinking fast on her feet she fires a trick crossbolt from her crossbow at the ground which creates a smoke bomb. Once she created the diversion she ran and hid behind a wall “Well this is just great,” said Luna as she touches her bleeding arm. She ripped off a piece of her outfit and wrapped it around her arm to help stop the bleeding. “What I am going to do now? It’s not like I can wall hop and jump over the fence with an injured arm” she said to herself. Before she could think on it more she heard another gunshot and this time she dodged it! “You don’t give up, do you?” Luna said drawing and pointing her crossbow.

She fired the crossbow hoping to hit her target but Reaper doged every one of the crossbolts. Before Luna could fire off more Reaper did a move that only she would know because her father taught her. She had no time to react before she landed on the ground and the crossbow flying out of her hand “No” Luna whispered. Turning over she comes face to face with Reaper’s gun pointing at her. Trying to crawl and get her crossbow, Reaper prevents her from reaching it by stepping on her injured arm. *Argh* Looking at the gun and no means of escape Luna thought to herself “This is it, I’m going to die here.'' As Luna is about to pass out from the amount of pain in her arm she hears Jackson say “Luna close your eyes!” as a miniature stun grenade is fired next to her and Reaper. “Jackson,thank-” Luna started to say, “Thank me later Lu, now run,'' interrupted Jackson. Listening to Jackson’s words she grabbed her crossbow and ran as fast as she could. Reaching her exit she kicked off the wall as hard as she could  and hopped over the barbed fence and continued running.

At a hotel somewhere in Cairo,Egypt Time: 11:30 p.m

In Luna’s hotel room she is webcamming with Jackson, to talk about tonight's events. “You know you should really go to a hospital,''said Jackson while he’s watching Luna clean and sterilize her wound. *Pain Grunt* “Yeah well I rather not have the nurses and doctors question what I was doing to have gotten this injury,'' said Luna. “So anyway, were you able to get any information from that flashdrive before you were cut off” asked Luna while wrapping gauze around her wound. “Yeah, and looks like your next destination is in Venice,'' said Jackson. Luna standing up and putting on one of her father’s hoodies “Good” she said. Jackson smiling “Hm, I thought you’ve given up on your wearing your dad’s hoodie?” said Jackson. “Ha, yeah well it’s the only thing that keeps the nightmares away and it keeps me safe” said Luna. Jackson realizing he might have hurt Luna, “Listen Lu, I’m sorry I didn't mean..” before he could finish Luna interrupted him “I know Jack”. “Well I better get going, the others wanted to go out for lunch,” said Jackson. “Okay, well say hi to everyone for me” said Luna not wanting to say goodbye. “You should get some rest Lulu, I will get you a plane ticket to Italy so please just rest,'' said Jackson. “Hmm, haha alright Jackson, Goodnight” said Luna smiling. “Goodnight”, said Jackson. After saying goodnight to each other, Luna turned off her laptop and put her laptop in her suitcase. Still rummaging through her suitcase Luna found a picture of her and her dad, taking a breath she placed it on the nightstand next to her bed. Luna pretty beat from tonight’s events layed down on her soft pillow and stared at the picture of her and her dad. “Goodnight, Dad” said Luna softly. She leaned over to turn off the light and with her mind still swimming about coming face to face with Reaper, she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
