Urie POV

On the table the briefcases were placed. I count three of them, being Mutsuki's, Shirazu's, and mine. The others were in their rooms getting ready for the raid.

We were told that we would be part of Mado's squad that assaults from one of the sides of the mansion. I heard that Juuzou and his squad are moving in from the end of the mansion, and others around the side and of course there will be a force in front of the mansion.

The extermination of the Tsukiyama family, who have been found out to be ghouls. And the heir of their family is apparently said to be Gourmet, an S rate ghoul.

The mission of our squad is to find and eliminate the father of Gourmet, Mirumo Tsukiyama. If he is head of the house he will obviously be very strong.

Juuzou is on the team that will be hunting Gourmet, while the other side squad will try to diverse their attention by using the most force.

The front squad only has to blockade them from leaving that way.

I grab my suitcase and take a deep breath. This is my first operation in awhile. I was captured and tortured awhile ago, nearly to the point where I was about to give up. But then that Crow guy got me out of there.

Crow is an SS rated ghoul, that is said that he has enough power to rival the One Eyed Owl. Thinking about that is frightening, Akira and Mutsuki apparently saw the One Eyed Owl at the Lab Raid, though I was still missing at that point.

That girl named Eto... she was the one that gave me to that psycho with the long white hair, another half ghoul. I can't let my guard down like that again and get captured, I won't allow it. I have to take care of them, Sasaki... no, Kaneki is counting on me.

The door opens and Mutsuki walks in, his eye patch being put on as he walks in. I stare for a moment, then look down at my suitcase. It has always been a bit awkward when I'm alone with him.

I know that he is actually a woman, but he told me to treat him like a man, so that I will do. This too, is part of taking care of them.
"Ready?" I asked, heading to the door.

Mutsuki nodded, grabbing his case as well. Outside Shirazu rushes past us, grabs his quinque and meets with us in a short moment. "Almost late, hehe." He mumbled.

"Alright, let's get going." I said, pulling my gloves on as we stepped into the car. The raid starts in an hour.

Nashiro POV

"We'll split up, they've already started to surround the mansion." Kaneki instructed, ordering us to certain positions.

He turned to me and pointed to the back of the building. "Yasu, you and Levin will take the back, Touka and Yomo the left side of the building, me and Tsukiyama will take the right." He turned to Ayato and the rest of Levin's followers.

"Ayato, you and them will distract them in the front." He said, and for a moment, him and Ayato stared a one another with a small hatred, then they both turned away, heading to their respective spots for the plan.

We were on the roof of the mansion, we had to move and get the jump on them before a helicopter came and spotted us with its lights.

The plans was to create an opening on one of the sides, then get Tsukiyama's father and as much of the others as possible out. Worst case, we head to plan B, which involves using the sewers, but it's much too obvious to head through there for a first plan, so we're keeping it as a plan B.

Levin rushes across the roof and jumps down in the back lawn, I land next to him, and we both get under the outside path, to make sure that the helicopter that's arriving soon won't see us.

"They'll most likely put a strong force on the back, so be careful." Levin warned, keeping his sight in front of us and not looking over at me. With our masks covering our faces, I can't see what his expression is, but I can tell it's calm, and blank.

I should be calm too, I have to fight soon. I take a deep breath and look on ahead. Just then, we hear a loud speaker get turned on, the squeak noise that emits from it makes me cringe a bit.

"We know your in there, Mirumo, come out with your hands up and you will be sparred." Said the voice on the loud speaker. Mirumo was inside ready to fight if some got past us, not to mention the whole house is filled with maids and butlers that could be rank B to S in strength wise.

The CCG is in over its head.

From the looks of it, with the silence as a response, the CCG speaker turns the speaker back on after a few moments. "Very well." Was all he said, then it was switched off.

Just then we hear the helicopter we anticipated coming in the distance. "Lets hope it isn't armed with firearms, otherwise we can't fight out here." Levin said.

If they did have guns in that thing then we can't fight out in the open with them having the sky advantage. I nod and look through the outside hall, we would have to fight them undercover or inside where the other ghouls are.

"... Shiro." Levin's said, getting my attention. "Are you ready?"

At first I think he's asking in general if I'm ready to fight, but then I see that he's looking dead at me, the blank eyes on his mask empty. He wasn't asking me if I'm ready to fight-

- he's asking me if I'm ready to see the new him fight. Will it change my vision of him? It probably scares him a bit, to think that I'll hate him. I already heard how he treated the CCG back in the Lab Raid, how brutally he killed them and with what attitude he did so.

There's a moment of silence, then...

"Yes." I answer shortly. Levin gives me a slow nod, as if he didn't expect me to say that, then turned back towards the way they were coming.

I see figures jumping over the estates walls, and they start for the building. Levin walks out of the shadows, and I get a shiver down my spine when he makes eye contact with the Squad.

There's a long silence as the Squad freezes in place.

Then, a figure with black hair and pale skin walks through them. "Well well~! I haven't seen you in a long time, Crow-kun~!" Said a playful voice.

Levin's hands clenched, then unclenched them. "Long time no see, Juuzou." He said, his voice devoid of emotion.

I bite my lip, as Juuzou smirks and clicks his suitcase, making his scythe come out. "You spilled my insides out last time..." he mumbled, then ran forward, straight at Levin.

"So can I spill yours?!"

(The Raid finally begins and the next chapters are gonna be filled with fighting and death! Clench your butts. Nonetheless I hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful day!) - MnMs171
