Part 17
Chapter 42
[Kuro]

'I just got a report, looks like they managed to kill all of the 70 we sent out.' Chizuro sat next to Kuro with a smile.
'Its no surprise really. Im sure that was only a warm up for them, the real battle is with us.' Kuro said with his hand on his chin. They drove past the Louvre Museum. Kuro admired the view of the pyramid shaped roof.
'You sure know how to play both sides, don't you Chizuro?' Kuro said with a stern voice while looking out the window.
'What are you on about?' Chizuro asked in a confused tone.
'Going against our given objective, letting Candice Kamui run free, evacuating the citizens of Paris to avoid casualties, dissolving your team and lastly, allowing your assistant, Merylin, to work with Candice and Shiro. Are all of these just my imagination?' Chizuro had a stunned look on his face.
'How very impressive. You are as smart as they say you are.'
'Glad to know it wasn't a hunch. So you're working for the AOA?'
'Always have.' Chizuro giggled.
'I should kill you right now. Too bad the Master finds you necessary in the grand scheme of things. You aren't my priority anyway. My priority is capturing Mei, taking those Warheads and giving them to Master, that's all.' Chizuro gave him a smirk and looked outside.

Kuro was taken in by Candice and personally trained by her. Kuro never took pride in training himself physically, his brain is what he took pride in. His physical abilities were enough to allow him to never feel threatened. Candice saw that she could train his brain even more and train Shiro's physical abilities further.
Kuro always had a neck for knowledge. His IQ exceeding those who had years of experience. At 4 years old, he solved a mystery that had been buried for years. A secret society that ran America from the shadows. He studied every part in history that they were involved in and sent the report to the CIA. The CIA responded by sending a threat. He then requested a video chat with the director's of the CIA, FBI, NSA and the president. Told them that he wouldn't leak out the info but he would be the one to destroy the society himself and if that were to happen America would soon crumble. They didn't take him seriously and he did just as he said. America began to crumble, it's economy, connections, agriculture and control began falling apart. Kuro then made a deal with them. He told them that he would restore their former glory but under Japan's rule. He saw it as revenge for WW2—as revenge for his country. He enslaved America and made it his own. Thus making Japan the Ultimate Super Power. He was kept in the dark about the secrets his Aunt had and that made him more and more curious. After proving himself  worthy of the position of second in command of the AOA he explored his power until one day when he was making his rounds over to the AOA's base in Athens he met a man in a black suit in a bar.
'I'll have a glass of cranberry juice please.' Kuro said sitting down.
'Oh c'mon. Can't you loosen up a little and drink something strong for a change?' Kuro looked at the man who took a seat next to him at the counter. Kuro could tell that he wore a holographic mask. His body build was huge and he looked fairly strong, his voice was deep with a hint of an ominous feeling and pure power, had a fake American accent and wore a suit like he was some kind of business man.
'Excuse me sir, do I know you?'
'No, but I do know you. Kuro Kamui.'
Kuro saw no need to be on defense, he could tell that this man had no intention of attacking him.
'You need something?' Kuro asked as he took a sip of his cranberry juice.
'Your skills. You have quite the reputation in the criminal underworld, I wanted to have a meeting with you in person.'
Kuro kept quiet and took another sip.
'I know you want to know more about your parents, who Candice really is and who you really are.' That caught Kuro's attention.
'What can you tell me?' They spent the whole night chatting. The truths he had been searching for were told to him in mere hours and very quickly Kuro was spellbound by this man's vision.
'Join me and we will change this world.' Kuro took the last sip of his seventh glass of cranberry juice and stood up.
'I'll contact you with my answer.'
'I will await your call.' He left without getting the man's name but he left with a new purpose.

'Sir. We're here.' The driver called out to Kuro, he looked outside the window.
'Let the final phase begin.'
