Before operation
| “ | Seeing that Bison is about to catch up with the others, Gambino incapacitates Bison with a single strike, using this as a threat to force the members of Penguin Logistics into a decisive battle. | ” |
| <Background 1> | |
|---|---|
| Exusiai | Yahoo! |
| Croissant | Eyes on the road, Exusiai! Hands on ten and two! |
| Texas | I finally caught you. |
| Sora | Texas... please... slower next time... |
| Texas | S– sorry. I was holding back as much as I could. |
| Exusiai | But at least we're all back together. Now we gotta go find the boss. Wait, why do I feel like we're missing something? |
| Texas | Huh? ...where's Bison? |
| Exusiai | What? Wasn't he with you guys? |
| Texas | ...... |
| Sora | ...We didn't leave him back there did we? |
| Texas | ...We're so used to doing things our own way, leaving him behind was kind of inevitable. |
| Sora | So then we should probably go back and get him? |
| Exusiai | Isn't Mostima here? I think he'll be okay. |
| <Background fades out and in> | |
| Bison | Hey! W- waait up! *Cough* *hack* |
| Sora | ...A bicycle? |
| Croissant | Wowee! If you'n keep up with Texas on a bicycle, yer somethin' else, Bison! |
| <Background fades out and in> | |
| Mafioso | Hey! Which alley'd he go down?! |
| Mafioso | That way! |
| Exusiai | He's got a lot of guys on his tail. |
| Texas | Let's not be too hard on the kid who shook off a crew of armed mobsters on a bicycle. ...No, it's an ambush. Exusiai! |
| Exusiai | A little late for that! |
| <Background fades out and in> | |
| Bison | Nng! I did it! I caught them! |
| Gambino | Sure did. Thanks for leading the way. |
| Bison | Who— |
| Gambino | Good night, sweet prince. |
| [Gambino knocks Bison unconscious...] | |
| Bison | Oof. |
| [...just as the Penguin Logistics crew gets to him.] | |
| Texas | Damn. A second too late. |
| Gambino | Good evening, Penguin Logistics. I am Gambino Ricci, head of the Family. And it looks like I've got a hostage. But you ain't gonna make a scene over a little thing like this, eh? |
| Exusiai | We left him behind... |
| Croissant | Ain't that the honest truth. |
| Texas | What do you want? |
| Gambino | Hmph... I'm sick of you scuttling around like cockroaches, getting into my business, makin' yourselves a real pain in my tail. That's the value of the little prince here. I got a hostage and all you can do is take me head on. And that'll save me a lotta trouble. That turns my little penguin problem into a very solvable problem. Penguin Logistics got nowhere to run. |
| Texas | Yeah, okay. Great. Just the way I like it. |
| Gambino | ...What? |
| Texas | Turns out we're thinking in the same direction. Croissant, Sora, form up. Exusiai, cover us. Let's get our Bison back. |
After operation
| “ | The enemy attacks the residents of the slums to get information about the Rat King. A passing-by Waai Fu witnesses the injustice and springs into action, only to learn that the next target is Uncle Tung, master of fishballs. | ” |
| <Background black> | |
|---|---|
| 8:52 PM \ Cloudy Lungmen Slums | |
| Mafioso A | Tell us where the Rat King is and nobody has to die! |
| Slum Dweller | Wh- what?! What's a Rat King... I don't even know what that is! |
| Mafioso A | I dare you to say "what" again...! |
| Mafioso B | Hey, Mr. Capone said not to rough up civilians... |
| Mafioso A | Does this piece of shit look like a civilian to you? I bet you're Infected, ain't you, cazzo? You still wanna play dumb?! |
| Slum Dweller | P– please! Don't hurt me! I really don't know anything! |
| Mafioso A | Cat got your tongue?! |
| Slum Dweller | Ng... gah... glehh... |
| Mafioso B | C'mon, forget about this one. It ain't worth it. Checking our list, looks like the next lucky contestant is some poor finball hawker. Lives right around here. |
| Mafioso A | Sounds like a waste of time. |
| Slum Dweller | Gah... aaagh! They broke... my arm... those sons of... I have to... tell them... |
| <Background 2> | |
| Mafioso A | That's him. Over there. |
| [The mafiosi approaches Fillet and Waai Fu.] | |
| Fillet | ...... |
| Waai Fu | ...Can I help you? |
| Mafioso B | (Hold up. Check the mug over there. I got a bad feeling about him.) |
| Mafioso A | (Some Lungmen triad? Mr. Capone says they're a bunch of pushovers.) I got a question for ya. We don't want any trouble, right? Just give us a clean answer and we'll be on our way. |
| Fillet | ...There's blood on your knuckles. |
| Mafioso A | Oh, pardon me. I was cleaning out the trash earlier. But a couple of upright citizens like yourselves, you ain't trash, are you? |
| Waai Fu | Is that a threat? |
| Mafioso A | You're a smart girl, you can figure it out. |
| Waai Fu | Then I refuse to help you. |
| Mafioso B | ...refuse? I think that came out wrong, girly. It sounded like you said you were dumpster garbage eager to get beaten half to death in that alleyway over there? |
| Fillet | Waai Fu, I'm pretty sure that scream I just heard was... |
| Waai Fu | Was "garbage," the word you just used? Because one must be thorough and prepared for all eventualities, I will ask one more question: is that how you refer to the people here? |
| Mafioso A | I don't got time to waste talkin' shit with you, start talk— |
| [Waai Fu attacks the mafioso...] | |
| Mafioso A | Wh- what was that?! You better— |
| [...with her martial arts...] | |
| Mafioso A | Gah?! |
| [...knocking him out cold.] | |
| Waai Fu | Next. You know what, the kind of scum you are, I'll take you all on at once. Not once in recorded history has evil triumphed over justice, and you evildoers who indiscriminately prey on the weak are not even worth a mention. |
| [Waai fu attacks the rest of the mafiosi.] | |
| Mafioso B | What is this?! How does she move like that? |
| Mafioso A | Just shoot her alrea— |
| Fillet | ...not so fast. |
| Mafioso A | Gah! Hey! Let go of me! |
| Fillet | You know what you remind me of? A rotten finfish three days after the freezer lost power. |
| Mafioso A | What are you talking about? |
| Fillet | ...nothing. I shouldn't try to copy Waai Fu's battle banter. I'll take the direct approach. Heh. |
| Mafioso A | S– so strong! Agh! Y– you're gonna break my arm! Stop! |
| Fillet | Drop your weapon. And get out of my sight. |
| Mafioso A | Al– alright already! Just let me go! |
| Fillet | ...I should probably break a bone or two just to be safe. You've got a real dangerous weapon there, after all. |
| [Fillet breaks the arm of the mafioso he is grabbing.] | |
| Mafioso A | Aaagh! P– please stop! |
| Mafioso B | Wh– what's the deal with these two? Nobody warned us about any targets around here! |
| Mafioso A | Just get the hell outta here first. We'll talk later. I don't care what crew you guys are with, next time ain't gonna go your way. Damned Lungmenites. |
| [The mafiosi flees the scene.] | |
| Fillet | Come on, we're not triads. Why do they always have to judge a book by its cover...? |
| Waai Fu | Forget it, there's people to save. Over there! |
| Fillet | Oh, right. |
| [Fillet and Waai Fu comes to the side of the person being tortured by the mafiosi earlier.] | |
| Fillet | Don't move! We're here to help! |
| Slum Dweller | Ah Fil? |
| Fillet | You're fine. It's just a flesh wound. Sit still and I'll go get a doctor. I won't be long. |
| Slum Dweller | Ah Fil! Don't worry about me. You have to go find Uncle Tung! That's where they're going next! |
