Chapter 1 (Part 1) "The Uneasy Alliance" [Volume/Mission 1]

Part 1

We continued pointing at each other.

Great. It’s a KGB agent. I thought I could escape from those five officers, but escaping a KGB agent, that’s a whole different story. The only way to escape such a situation is to fight it out, especially managing to survive.

…Damn it, I should have asked for help on the situation that happened a few moments ago…

But, no matter. I’m a top CIA agent. I can take down a KGB agent with ease, with my training and experience as an agent of the field. I can take down any opponent that stands in my way…especially a KGB agent. After all, I even took down a great threat in the States three days ago.

As I thought those words in mind, I prepared myself into a battle stance. With this, I can take her down easily and also get a good head start against her.

…But first, I must introduce myself. I have manners after all. 

With a smile on my face and as I stared intensely at her. I introduced myself to the KGB agent girl—

“I’m Agent Six, a top CIA agent of the States. I won’t go down so easily if you’re thinking about it.”

The KGB agent, hearing those words, introduced herself while still pointing at me with a serious look on her face…

“I’m Furious Wolf, the number one KGB agent of the Motherland. So don’t also think the same way, I can beat you down so easily. I’m surprised. After all, my superiors told me that I might face a CIA agent here. But I didn't expect it would be the top agent of the CIA, Agent Six.”

HUH?!!

I was shocked from within after hearing her introduction.

That agent's name, Furious Wolf. Furious Wolf of the KGB, is one of the top enemies in our list. That agent is currently the number one agent of the KGB, as she also fought and defeated the KGB’s top threats in the East—most notably in the Soviet Union. Well, I could also say the same. After all, I’m one of their top enemies on the KGB list. I also fought and defeated the CIA’s top threats in the West—most notably in the United States…like three days ago.

…Why me, just why…

I should have listened to Ed when I had the chance. I might not make it out of this. But, as I said with my own words, I won't give up without a fight. As a top agent of the CIA, it’s my duty! 

With that out of the way. I proclaimed a comment in a low voice that she could hear…

“Bring it on. I’ll make sure I won’t give up without a fight.”

After saying those words. She smiled briefly before going back into a serious face and got into a battle stance, and replied—

“Well then, bring it on.”

With it, she charged toward my direction… 

She charged at me with her fist flying toward me, but I managed to halt her attack by blocking it with my arm, then she lowered herself down to the ground with a turn and used her foot to try to push my legs to the side.

…But before she could, I dodged it by leaping to the left side as I grabbed her shoulder and eventually went behind her.

Phew… That was close…

I said in my thoughts in relief after avoiding that attack. And it was a good thing I didn't put on my suit jacket, this fight will surely stain it.

…Now’s my turn…

I charged in. Using my left arm as I tried to punch her in the face, but she blocked it by using her right arm and lifted her left arm, swinging it in the side toward my face. With that, I dodge it by quickly ducking down before her fist could make contact, and punched her right in the stomach.

That’s what you get!... Uh oh—

In response she jumped right out of the ground and used her left leg to swing it to my right side. Eventually, I was swung toward the trash on the ground on the side.

I quickly got back up. But, as I looked back to her, she was coming at me with her fist flying once more toward my face. I quickly dodge it by moving to the side and with the opportunity, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her right toward a brick wall.

“...damn it…”

After making her slam toward the brick wall, she mumbled under her breath. 

Maybe I might survive this…but not too long. I must take her down and escape before those or any other officers from East Germany or from the Soviet come here and eventually help her fight against me, especially soldiers from the Soviet Union.

While thinking that thought, she charged toward me and leaped from the ground with her fist from her right hand ready to deliver a blow to my head.

…Once more, I dodged it by ducking down and quickly stood up. But, she immediately lowered herself down once she hit the ground and used her leg to push my legs over to the side. I couldn't dodge it in time, and eventually fell to the ground.

With me on the ground. She quickly stood up and lifted her leg up and swung her leg with her black boots heading to my face, and I quickly rolled over back toward the side and I stood up.

…Damn it. I can’t shake her down…

I must find a way to at least take her down. But, from the looks of things, it’s really hard to get an easy opportunity.

“Hey, could we call it a day?”

“Shut your mouth! After all, you said it yourself from the beginning.”

“Damn it.”

With some few exchange of words. We charged at each other as we punched each other, blocked it by using our arms, and dodge each other's attacks. She lifted her left leg toward me and hit my side, but I punched her right in the face as I swung my right fist in time…

With that, she stepped some steps back and rubbed her mouth with her left hand.

Take that! I’m sure I can take her down now. I just need to hit her in the right spots, and I can escape back to the States by crossing the Berlin wall to go on to West Berlin, where I can get out of here safe and sound.

…I’ll also make sure to have a bigger pay-check and a better mission once I head back safe and sound to headquarters.

After making that act. She stared at me furiously and grabbed onto a nearby trash bag, and held it onto her hand.

…I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

She tossed it toward my direction and I quickly caught it on time…but, she had other plans. As I caught the bag, she already jumped off the ground and lifted her right foot toward my way, performing a dropkick. With it, I was launched toward the brick wall and dropped right at the ground with trash around my suit.

This crazy commie bitching bastard! I just cleanly and well-ironed my suit this morning!

Damn it, my back is also aching from the impact. I really need to take her down immediately before I end up in prison or maybe end up in something horrible with the Soviets…especially from her!

As I was in the ground covered in trash she picked up something from her pocket. As she pulled it out, it was a sharply hard iron knife and she pointed it at me and said—

“Are you even the top agent of the CIA? I easily beat you up… Forget it. As long as a threat to the cause is in the way I'll be sure to eliminate it right away. And for clarification, I won’t be taking in any prisoners today. As long as you're in the Motherland's way. I’ll make sure to eliminate you.”

She said with the still serious face with the knife in hand and her pointing it toward my way.

…I really regret making that choice earlier…

I said within my thought as I gritted my teeth… But, I did something right in the end. With that realization, I stopped gritting my teeth and smiled instead. I stood right back up and said my word toward Furious Wolf…

“Go ahead, I’ll make sure to enjoy my last moments.”

Hearing those words, she charged toward my way with her hand stretched holding the knife and lunging it toward me. With that, I dodged that attack by going to her right side…and looking at her leg I saw an opportunity.

…I lowered myself to the ground and swung my leg. With it, I turned and spun around, and swung my leg toward hers. Eventually, she fell to the ground and dropped the knife.

Wait a minute, how could I possibly forget about that!!

After that action, I remembered one of my things from within. And quickly went through the trash bags…and as I got the thing I forgot somehow, I quickly stood up and pointed it toward her. She also quickly stood up as she picked up her knife.

As we stood up. I had my gun pointing toward her and with her knife pointing toward me, and we stared closely at each other.

Just like that, we are currently in a stand off—with both my hands holding my gun that is currently being pointed at her, with her holding her knife in her right hand and pointing it at me.

With that in mind and with the current situation, I broke off a smug smile toward her. Dropping my left hand, leaving the gun still pointing at her with my right hand, saying a few words…

“I think this is the end of the road for you. It was fun while it lasted… But, I can let you go, if you let me go.”

Hearing my words…she showed her teeth in anger and frustration, but after some time she covered it back up and responded to my words—

“...I must admit, such a dirty tactic. After all, having a gun against a girl who only has a knife in hand. You cappies really are a dirty scum, truly a dirty dog that is.”

What’s that supposed to mean? If it were to be the opposite situation. I wouldn't be able to say that comment, and she would likely kill me on the spot without explaining things.

…This world truly is unfair…      

But still, as long as I won this fight. It’s not a big matter…this is a life and death situation after all. And I already said my words, so I can just let her go if she lets me go first. If she really wants to play dirty, then go ahead I’ll make sure to make things quick.

I’m the top agent of the CIA after all. And I’m that kind of man too…

With my resolve, I once more spoke my word to her—

“Zip it. I’m the one who has the gun here, not you! And I already said my word to let you go, if you let me go first that is. But if you want to play dirty, then sure, why not. I’ll just make things quick with just one pull of the trigger."

“heh, you CIBastard. If you think I’ll just let you go, not a chance… After all, Agent Six. I’m the number one KGB agent of the Soviet Union—I’m the Furious Wolf. And I’ll make sure to do all of my best to eliminate a threat from the west who threatens the cause of the Motherland, that includes you, the top agent of the CIA, Agent Six.”

“Bring it on, you commie bitch. I already asked nicely and I’m done playing nice… I am Agent Six of the CIA at your service…” 

“I am Furious Wolf of the KGB at your service…”

After saying those words, we held onto our weapons even tighter and stared at each other more intensely, and prepared ourselves into a battle stance. It was clear that we won't let this encounter easily go.

I took a deep breath and closely aimed the gun at her to not miss a shot. She bent her arm and lifted the other making them into a cross‐arm with the hand holding the knife near her face. 

I’m Agent Six, and I’ll make sure to eliminate an enemy—just like the events from three days ago. Furious Wolf, the number one agent of the KGB will meet her downfall.

With that in mind. We prepare to charge at each other at the same time…

But before we could—

…

…A gunshot was heard…
