"Lieutenant Obsidia, here's your new assignment."
"Yes, Ma'am." I said, nodding and holding out my hand.
The Commander handed my an envelope. Opening it up, I noticed that there were only two papers inside. The first was a report describing the target's crimes. 43 assualts, 22 reports of thievery, and 12 murders, one of which was an ambassador from Lurensia. I see why I was the one assigned to this. This was a high priority mission.
Despite that, it was the second paper that I found interesting. It was a sketch of the target based on eyewitness reports.
"This is the infamous Bloody Marionette?" I asked. The sketch was of a small, innocent-looking girl with short hair in a gothic-style dress holding a small case and a rabbit doll.
The captain nodded. "Don't let her looks fool you, she's an extremely dangerous foe. You're being put in charge of Epsilon squad as usual. Set out to Hamel as soon as everyone's ready." She said.
As I turned to leave, she put one hand on my shoulder. "May the wheels of fate turn in your favor, Lieutenant. I feel this will be one of your biggest missions yet..."
Three days later, my squad and I arrived in Hamel.
"Where should we search first?" Shiro, Epsilon's rookie member, asked while looking around. As soon as I opened my mouth to speak, a scream came from an alley.
"Come on, that might be a victim of the target!" I said, pulling out my double-scythe and running over, the others following behind.
When we arrived, we saw a woman on the ground, unconscious, with the target standing above her grinning.
"There's the Bloody Marionette!" I shouted, rushing in to attack. The target giggled and back-stepped my attack.
"Heehee, blue-hair missed Mari!" She laughed, hitting me on the head with her case. She was surprisingly strong and caused me to make a crater in the ground.
"Nyte!" Shiro's arm became encased in ice, and he ran in to punch the girl. Before he could, a small doll leapt from behind her and slashed him.
"Mari can't play with strangers. Papa says so. So Mari's gonna go bye-bye!" The target giggled and put her rabbit doll on the ground. "Lapin Musical!" She said, covering her ears and ducking down. A loud noise emitted from the doll, causing everyone to collapse and hold their heads.
When the noise faded, she was gone.
"She got away!?" I growled and punched the wall. "We need to find her, and quick! Everyone, spread out!"
The others hurried off to search, but I lingered a bit and noticed that her rabbit was still there. "Hm... This may prove useful..." I reached down and picked it up. After ensuring there weren't any bombs or anything on it, I tossed it in my bag and began my search.
