"There seems to be some mistake." Needle said as he was trying to catch his breath with his hands held up high.
"Nope. None at all." Viper said as she pointed her gun behind his head the moment he got out of the underground staircase. "Drop those weapons down on the ground and any sudden movements we will shoot."
"Heh. I suggest you listen to our dear missy, right there." Moth was bleeding through his right arm but it was not something he could not handle especially when he was still able to hold a shotgun steady and facing it point blank at Needle's chest.
As Needle attempted to process the situation at hand, he noticed that on his right, the huge faceless goblin its guts blasted off probably with the shotgun that Moth was currently holding onto.
"Here I thought, you guys had trouble killing your own prey that you all needed my help. Did not expect that this is a trap set to lure me even though I am on your side." Needle said as he continued to have his hands held up high as he dropped the rapier and pistol.
"I would be as surprised as you but looks like Muramasa planned otherwise." Viper said as she prodded Needle to move slowly away from the weapons. Once within her reach, she used her heels to kick the rapier behind her while performing a rather surprising act of gymnastic movement with her heels to get the second pistol into her other bare hand.
Moth whistled as that performance while they continued to prod Needle to the corner of the carpark so there there was no way to run for him and be gunned down if necessary. "Looks like you guys trust this Muramasa a lot. Won't he do the same to you in the future as well?"
"Shut up and talk." Viper hissed and Needle shouted back.
"Talk about what?! I am the one that was being pointed at gunpoint instead of-"
"Enough. MI6 Agent Julian 'Needle' St. Clair. Performed high-risk operations in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Well known after being awarded accolades in Operation Heart Stopper." Muramasa said through their intercoms and the Viper instantly shot Needle at his thighs. However, as much as she wished to fire more at him, the pistol she confiscated from Julian only had that one bullet in it. she threw the pistol away and held her pre-existing one with both hands.
"Heh. To think that you are even able to find my records even after the fact they should be blemished and cleared off the database. Looks like we are not thorough enough." Needle took continuous deep breaths instead of crying in pain after the shot.
"If the MI6 wished to annihilate their defence minister, then it seems like this current shitstorm that we are in is enormous." Moth said as the weapon he used to aim Needle's stomach slowly shifted towards Julian's head instead.
"Fuck. Does that mean we are being surrounded by military and police the moment that magical barrier comes down?" Viper questioned and Julian started to giggle.
"So what about a deal, Muramasa? It seems your skills in hacking and operation is unparallel and we need your expertise even more after learning that you are able to deal with this... unique situation of goblins." Julian said as he continued to leave himself defenceless to show that he is being sincere.
"...You are not in the MI6 anymore." Gen said as he leaned back and sighed.
"Looks like sound deduction could also be part of your repertoire." Julian smiled. "Yes. Join us. The Monster-Individual Liberation Front (MILF). We have the ability to create these magical barriers and with your help. we coordinate and take down the rest of the society. I will even grant these two of your companions positions to aid you and get your companions out of this sticky assassination situation too."
"Shit that means this runs deep..." Gen thought to himself. "And here I thought this man is selfless, wanting to protect the humans. I never expect this was all an act." Gen suddenly felt tremendously lucky that he was felt suspicious enough to use a thought point to unveil the information that he wanted to know about Needle. But he had never expect Needle to be a part of such a group. "Does this mean that if Needle had not been exposed, he will want to use this situation as a leverage to pull me in?" Gen sighed once again but before he talked, Julian commented further.
"You do not have much time left. The magical barriers should be waning now that all the goblins had been killed." Julian said but he had forgotten that the two agents right in front of him were assassins as well as they did not wait for Muramasa's answer to his proposal to take action.
Bullets and slugs decorated his body multiple times that all that was left is an artwork for the cleaners to clear.
"Oops. my hand slipped." Moth smiled. "Must be the injury."
"Sorry, mine too. I was too startled that I pushed the trigger." Viper said with an accompanying smile to Moth.
"Sometimes, I got to take my hat off to the agents on the field." the agents could hear Muramasa smirk through the intercoms.
"I might be a bad person for murdering people but I am not going to join some monster front and kill humans for fun with some monsters."
"Seriously? That is your excuse?" Moth queried. "I just thought killing monsters would be more fun. Might be a career worth looking into. Like some monster hunter."
"Please. we are already killing monsters of a regular basis with Muramasa." Viper said as she looked afar to see the magical barrier indeed waning away. There were muffled sounds of sirens going throughout the entire area. "Gah, can we rely on you to get us out?" Viper asked.
"Heh. I thought we are going out guns blazing." Moth said as he wanted to tear his sleeve so he could torniquet the wound inflicted from the large faceless goblin they face previously.
"I might actually have something better..." Muramasa said as he requested the both of them to hold hands.
