Part One
"Captain, we see a squad of Americans moving past our main line of defense. Do you need us to take them out?" A Japanese soldier whispered to his superior while they remained hidden in the jungle of Iwo Jima. The captain picked up a pair of binoculars, scanning the jungle's terrain for any invaders from their position. He saw a patch of trees rustling, past the main stand-off point against the American invasion. The captain looked back down to the soldier.
"No, you will remain here with the others. Those Americans will not take Iwo Jima. They even had the audacity to burn down my village, just to clear us out! They WILL feel the wrath of the Shirai Ryu!" With that, Captain Hanzo descended into the jungle, heading straight towards the advancing American squad.
Hanzo stopped right outside a clearing in the jungle. He hid behind a tree, watching the GIs stumble into the clearing. The clearing was also a small pond, about ankle deep in water. They spread out around the clearing.
"Keep your heads on a swivel, marines. This could be an ambush. You see a Jap, you open fire." They responded to the captain with a standard "Yes Sir!" Hanzo counted out a total of six troops. He looked down to his kunai, which was equipped with a special firing attachment. He could fire it and retract it with the push of a button. It was a gift from Germany. He slid the kunai into the contraption after tying it to the re-tractor. He held his pistol at his side, he wouldn't be able to take all of them out with his kunai. He took a step out of his hiding space, the shadows of the trees still gave him cover. He raised his arm, pointing it at the nearest American. He pushed the button on the side as the kunai soared at the man like a bullet. It impaled him in the shoulder as he started tugging on the string. Hanzo tugged back as the other soldiers started to panic.
"Get over here!" Hanzo yelled, pushing the button again. The American fell to the ground as it dragged him back towards Hanzo. He hoisted the wounded soldier up and walked him into the clearing after he disarmed him. He held his arm around the solider's neck, holding his pistol out at the other soldiers.
"Sarge, help me!" The wounded soldier begged.
"Let him go, you dirty Jap!" The soldiers started to surround Hanzo in a half-circle, aiming their rifles and machine guns at him. Hanzo was sure he was about to die for his country and clan as his options were quickly running out. Behind the leader, he could see a tiny piece of bamboo sticking out of the water. The water started to bubble where the stick was. A Japanese soldier then stood up out of the water. He held two katanas in his hands, turning towards the soldiers. His face was pale and sort of green. He also had an eerie smile as he approached the half-circle of five soldiers.
"We're not going to ask you again, Jap. Let him go or face the consequences!" Two of them started to laugh.
"I don't think he understands English." The rest of the crowd laughed as the mysterious savior stood right behind the leader. Hanzo's captive yelled out once he noticed him.
"Sarge! Behind you!" Before he could turn around, the two katanas were driven into his abdomen and then sliced out. Hanzo threw the captive to the ground, shooting the two to his left. Before the dismembered leader landed in the water, the savior threw both of his katanas at the other two soldiers, impaling them in their chests. He jumped over, gripping the handles and kicking off the dying marines. He turned back to Hanzo, swinging both of them in one circular motion. Hanzo bowed to him before asking who he was.
"Thank you. You saved my life. If you hadn't come along, I would have had to take my own." He said, checking his ammo reserves in his pack. He finally got to see that the lizard man wore pieces of a gillie suit on his normal uniform.
"Don't mention it. It's not everyday I get to come to the rescue of Scorpion himself!" Hanzo shook his head.
"That is merely the name I was given by my clan. I still go by Hanzo. What about you, stranger. What do they call you?" He laughed, sheathing his katanas onto his back.
"A lot of people call me Reptile. I forgot my real name, since I grew up without my mother or father. I do have a lot of brothers serving in the war with me. I was waiting for the perfect moment to strike. You came along and drew their attention." They both stood in silence for a few moments. Reptile yawned and pointed towards the mountain. "I saw more of them heading for that mountain. What do you propose we do, Captain?"
Part Two
Hanzo agreed with Reptile as they headed off. Reptile easily traversed through the jungle. Hanzo could get through, but not as quickly or as smoothly as Reptile. They stopped directly outside one of the main roads. Both of them got on their stomachs. The American force was larger than the one they dispatched earlier. They marched up the dirt road, heading straight for the mountain top. Hanzo elbowed Reptile while they watched them walk by.
"I think we should go a different direction. There is to many to fight on our own." Reptile looked back up to the crowd of GIs.
"You're the higher rank, Captain."
Both of them made their way away from the approaching Americans. This time, Reptile was following Hanzo through the jungle. The morning sun still shined through the trees as they trudged through the jungle. Other Japanese soldiers passed by them as they were trying to regroup.
"I hate to say this, my friend." Hanzo said. Reptile jogged to catch up with him.
"What is it?"
"Iwo Jima is lost. The American forces are just to numerous. We will all eventually be wiped out if we don't escape."
"What do you think we should do? Swim off the island like cowards?" Hanzo shook his head, laughing.
"We do the honorable thing, get our leader off the island." Reptile looked back towards the mountain.
"I thought he was stationed at the top of the mountain, along with the rest the officers?"
"It is meant to be a trick. The Americans will lead all their forces to the top of the mountain. The general is in a small bunker at the other end of the island." Reptile nodded as they kept running through the jungle.
After a couple hours of running and dodging American troops, the two finally reached the other end of the island. They stopped outside the clearing. Reptile looked over what he saw and laughed.
"Some "bunker" he decided to stay in." Hanzo shook his head.
"Alright, he is in the ruins of a palace. Not what I expected either."
"You never actually reported here?"
"I always received my orders from the radio. I spent two weeks in the jungles readying my troops for defense."
They walked out of the jungle as they approached the main gates. Two soldiers appeared behind columns in front of the gate. They immediately opened fire with their Type 100s. Hanzo and Reptile dove behind the outer walls for cover.
"Stay back you American pigs!"
"Go back to your own country!" The two assailants yelled, still shooting around Hanzo and Reptile. Hanzo peeked around one of the corners. of the outer wall. Both of the soldiers wore blue arm-bands and head-bands. Their hair was spiked up and their faces were covered by blue masks.
"Cease fire! We are not Americans!" Hanzo yelled out.
"Prove it!" One of them yelled. Hanzo looked back over at Reptile on the other side of the outer wall. He shrugged his shoulders, keeping an eye on the jungle.
"We know the general is held up in this station! It is a trick against the Americans!" The shooting finally stopped. Hanzo stood up, looking at the two standing by the columns. They appeared to be brothers. "I am Captain Hanzo Hasashi. My friend Reptile and I seek the general." Hanzo started walking towards the two other soldiers. Reptile quickly jumped up and followed him. They bowed to each other at the gates. The eldest brother spoke first.
"I am Bi-Han. This is my brother, Kuai Liang. We were both ordered to defend these gates with our lives." Hanzo nodded as he stepped forward. Bi-Han stopped him. "We were also ordered not to let anyone inside." Hanzo looked back over at Reptile. He shrugged his shoulders. Hanzo looked back at Bi-Han.
"This is an emergency. We have to get the General out of here, right now."
"What's the rush?" Kuai Liang said. Hanzo turned, pointing at the mountain that stood out over the jungle canopy.
"American forces are taking our main line of defense as we speak. It will not be long before they are down here. They will kill all of us if we do nothing." The two brothers looked at each other, then back at Hanzo.
"Alright, I guess you're right. We haven't gotten much word out here anyway." Bi-Han said, opening the gate. All four of them filed inside.
