A week had passed since Oliver's reunion with Katarina and his introduction to the Resistance. Under the watchful eyes of Katarina and Asuka, Oliver underwent intensive training in the art of fighting, a fusion of Kazama Martial Arts and Savate. Despite the challenging physical demands, Oliver was grateful for the skills he possessed as an actor, which allowed him to convincingly portray a member of the Resistance while maintaining his true mission of finding Satoko.

The days were filled with rigorous training sessions and bonding moments with his newfound family. Oliver felt a sense of belonging he had never experienced before. Katarina and Asuka treated him like a long-lost son, and Baek was like the caring uncle he had always wished for.

One evening, as the sun set over the Resistance hideout, a visitor arrived. It was Hwoarang, the renowned fighter and Katarina's long-time ally. He had come to check on the team's progress and discuss matters concerning the Resistance.

Katarina welcomed Hwoarang warmly and shared the news of their new member, Oliver. She was proud to introduce Oliver, whom she had searched for tirelessly, to the man she respected and admired.

Hwoarang's eyes sparkled with amusement as he looked at Oliver. "So, you're the newest addition to our little family," he said with a chuckle.

Oliver couldn't help but feel a bit starstruck in the presence of the legendary fighter. "Yes, I'm Oliver. It's an honor to meet you," he replied with a respectful nod.

Hwoarang's smile widened, pleased by Oliver's respectful demeanor. "Likewise, kid. Looks like you got some fight in you," he remarked.

Asuka, who had always admired Hwoarang's skill and charisma, couldn't resist asking him a question. "Hwoarang, do you think it's time for Oliver to have his own mission? He's been training hard."

Hwoarang pondered the idea for a moment before sighing. "I had something in mind, but I need to make sure he's ready. This isn't child's play," he explained, taking his role as a mentor seriously.

Oliver's curiosity piqued as he asked, "What would the mission be?"

Hwoarang leaned back, crossing his arms. "First things first, you need to understand that the Resistance is affiliated with the Yggdrasil Forces, Archers Of Sirius, and Violet Systems. We act as one, and our actions must be synchronized," he stated firmly.

Oliver nodded, absorbing the gravity of the responsibility. He was determined to prove himself and contribute to the team.

Hwoarang then revealed his initial mission for Oliver—to infiltrate a group called "The Rats" to gather valuable information. Katarina's expression turned concerned upon hearing the name. "The Rats are dangerous, and their actions could attract unwanted attention," she warned.

Asuka chimed in, suggesting that Hwoarang give Oliver a different task. However, Oliver interjected calmly, surprising everyone. "I'll do it," he said with conviction.

Katarina's worry grew, but Oliver reassured her with a confident smile. "I'm stronger than you think, and I want to prove it. Besides, it's the perfect opportunity to gather information," he explained.

Hwoarang admired Oliver's determination. "Alright then, kid. We'll be together in this act until we get all the details we need," he said, nodding at Oliver.

Katarina couldn't help but issue a playful warning to Hwoarang, "Remember, if anything happens to him, I'll kick your ass."

Asuka giggled at the playful threat, and Hwoarang grinned. "I promise to take care of him," he assured Katarina.

The atmosphere lightened, and Hwoarang turned to Asuka, expressing his pride in her progress. "I've heard about the past weeks, and I'm proud of you, Asuka. Keep up the good work," he praised.

Asuka blushed, feeling a sense of validation from Hwoarang's words. "Thank you, Hwoarang. I won't let you down," she replied with determination.

With the mission set for tomorrow, Hwoarang bid them farewell and left the hideout, leaving Oliver and the others to prepare for the upcoming task.

As the night settled in, Oliver couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves. He was eager to prove himself and contribute to the Resistance, but he also knew the risks that lay ahead. However, with Katarina, Asuka, and Hwoarang by his side, he felt stronger and more determined than ever to face whatever challenges awaited him on this mission.

With the evening sky above them, the group huddled together, discussing strategies and finalizing their plan. Little did they know that this mission would lead them down a path filled with danger, secrets, and unexpected revelations that would change their lives forever. The journey was only beginning, and Oliver was ready to embrace it wholeheartedly.

As the days passed, Oliver immersed himself in his undercover role as a member of "The Rats." The group was known for its illicit activities, and gaining their trust was not an easy task. Oliver had to blend in, adapting to their ways and earning their confidence without raising suspicion.

He had to learn how to navigate through their criminal activities, all the while reporting back to Hwoarang and the Resistance. The days were long, and the nights were even longer as he stayed vigilant, making sure not to slip up and jeopardize the mission.

The more time Oliver spent with "The Rats," the more he realized the depth of their sinister plans. They were involved in illegal trades, smuggling, and other nefarious activities that put innocent lives at risk. Oliver's heart ached for the victims of their deeds, but he knew he had to remain focused on his objective.

Back at the Resistance hideout, Katarina and Asuka anxiously awaited Oliver's reports. Their concern for him grew with each passing day, but they knew they had to trust him to see the mission through.

One night, after a particularly grueling day, Oliver met with Hwoarang in a dimly lit alley. The tension was palpable as they exchanged vital information. "They're planning something big," Oliver whispered, his voice barely audible.

Hwoarang's eyes narrowed, his instincts as a fighter on high alert. "What is it?" he asked, trying to contain his urgency.

"They're smuggling illegal weapons. Big shipment arriving next week," Oliver revealed, his heart pounding in his chest.

Hwoarang's jaw tightened. "We can't let that happen. We need to stop them," he stated firmly, his mind already strategizing.

Oliver nodded, determined to help bring down the dangerous operation. "I'll find out more details and report back," he pledged.

As the days turned into weeks, Oliver continued to gather valuable intel on "The Rats." With each report he sent, the Resistance grew more determined to put an end to their criminal activities. The danger escalated, but Oliver was steadfast in his commitment to the mission and his newfound family.

The journey was far from over, but in that moment, Oliver knew that he had found his place in this world—a place where he was loved, respected, and valued for who he truly was.

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Oliver continued to grow as a member of the Resistance. He faced more challenges, fought in countless battles, and found strength and courage he never knew he had.

In the midst of it all, he never forgot his true mission—to find Satoko and reunite with her. He knew that with the support of his new family, he would never give up until she was found.

Oliver's journey with the Resistance was one of growth, friendship, and love. It was a journey that shaped him into the person he was meant to be—a fighter, an actor, and above all, a son.
