AUTHOR POV

"Cadet Lisa reporting, roger"Lisa whispers over the small microphone tucked in her front shirt, she can't use the military radio for it will produce sounds that will alert enemy, all her moves was monitored by Jisoo and Jackson, she used a mini earphone to hear what's on the other but its been minutes she didn't hear anything.

"Cadet Jisoo?"

"Cadet Wang?, over"

Another two minutes still silence. She's slowly getting nervous knowing she's not familiar with this place.

"Cadet Lisa, reporting, over"She said again and still continues to walk going to her spot.

"Stop messing around Cadet Wang and Kim"She heard on other line probably Lieutenant Padilla scolding her best friends. She scoff knowing exactly this two bastards antics.

"Report received Cadet Lisa, what's the update there, how far are you?, over"Padilla inquired

"500 meters away from the camp Sir, no unusual movements around, Cadet Kim can work on the intel and locate me, she's good at that, I have the mini chip she invented, over"She said quietly still on alert mode

"Thats so fucking genius"Jisoo said not realizing. She thought she lost that thing when they got drunk but only to find it with Lisa. She's going to scold the latter for that.

"Mouth Cadet Jisoo"General Matteo interrupted, he just woke up from a short nap and he can't wait to witness how this Cadet Lisa works, he kinda feel pressured too but when he heard what Lisa said about the chip thing is enough reason for him to believe. This is the Manoban blood after all, his idol, General Hyun Bin Manoban.

"Sorry Sir"Jisoo apologized but realized something

"Cadet Lisa, it won't work unless you implanted the chip inside your body, and you are far away from us, we can't send you someone over there"Jisoo said awkwardly addressing Lisa.

"Trained enough to put it inside me, check it online, I already did it a while ago"And with that said Jisoo gets her laptop and saw the red alarm means that chip is inserted in someone. This is the only chip she made and she can't believe its really working. She do her coding and there she saw whole body Lisa and the surface are all blue, its not really visible but that's enough for them to help Lisa alert when the enemy is near.

"All good Cadet Lis, I am monitoring you now and recorded everything, and please put some cover in your arms for godsake its bleeding"Jisoo said in concern but made a peace sign to General. Doc Jennie who's eavesdropping since earlier is feeling nervous and the same time concern knowing it's probably hard for Lisa to operate herself just for that chip to work.

"She's fine, far to her liver"Rosè whispered to her supporting even Jimin will probably get mad about it. They shared a knowing look and look around. She smirks and Jennie can only roll her eyes, too obvious if she says something out loud.

"I'll look around to all the places I can get, record everything, I'll be staying here for two weeks, that atleast enough to get all necessary things we need before striking them at all one"Lisa said that made the doctor nervous again. Two weeks out is not sure safe. Some of the people they sent overtime in that place was back dead, missing or even injured.

"Don't walk too far, just go enough to our plotted area, also stay lowkey, the monitor says there's a people nearby, the chip can't detect much but somehow its helping me see upcoming movements"Jisoo said strong but deep inside nervous too. This is her first time, as well as her friend in the ground, the mistakes is just there and they need to avoid that as much as possible.

"Cadet Lisa, don't walk to near them, stay put and always listen to my command"Padilla said

"Copy that, Sir"Lisa responded

It's been 10 days that Lisa is on ground. Kai and Mino was back in the camp since the two were injured. From the seventy armies of Padilla's troops in the ground, only 30 left, Major Anderson troops was sent as support.

"Why is she's slow?"Major Anderson asked annoyingly. He kinda mad from Lisa since the latter have the chip and means Padilla will take advances and he can't afford that.

"What are you talking about Major? She's doing well find if that's what you are going to ask us, its so far compared the last time we got"Padilla mocked him not surprised of the latter's jealousy.

"Cadet Lisa, movements detected, 45 degrees south, 7 coming, 8 at west, more than 20 at front, abort mission, roger"Lisa heard it and of course she tried to be back away and but was noticed by a young armed Maute fighters. He then fired Lisa and the latter tries avoiding it.

Firing echoed the whole town, fire there, fire that. Lisa was slightly hit but only in her skin. She fired back not giving up. She wants to go back alive.

She's 150 meters far away the camp that was protected by walls and armed securities. Passing by the broken stones and crushed different materials that blocking her way is a very hard thing to do, she runs as fast as she can when a bullet whizzes shooting Lisa's leg, she grunts in pain, blood purring out from her mouth.

She pulls her body out, slowly resting her body from a big stone where she can hide from the excessive non stop firing at her front.

Lisa refilled her empty riffle, taking a deep breaths and coughing from the excessive pain coming from her wounds. The pain isn't the pain that people can imagine, she can be dead on the spot and actually her eyes is getting foggy vision and about to sleep when a flashbacks comes to her mind.

Those hurtful, degrading and insults from her own father comes in, those broken smiles she give from all the people, the grandma who she adorn but actually didn't mind her at all but saw her smile when she done something, and that one last moment she have before she go numb and broken.

'You're a sick rapist'
'I only love her'

That woke her up, woke her up to prove that she's isn't Lisa as before because she'll be Lisa who gets the respect.

And with that thought in mind, she tirelessly stood up and fire back the enemies aggressively while making her way to the camp leaving those Maute fighters dead on the ground.

Not far away from her is the crying and worried Doctor Jennie with her team and the rank in officials who were so proud of her for pulling all the efforts to get that far and put her life in line. And now that they have the pictures of someone's important to Maute leaders is enough to used it up for making agreement and as well as to inform everyone to put high on alert with this people.

Not even getting a few meter away from the gate, Lisa collapsed completely in her blank world imagination.

While in the operation tent, where all was present, Major Anderson was beaten up by General Matteo as for he made a single mistake that almost cost them lives.

"You are so big headed, if its not of your orders, Cadet Lisa can get more of what she only had plus all the injured troops that tries to protect our base"Another punched

"Sorry... sorry sir"He apologized realizing his mistakes

"One more mistake and you're done, are we clear?"

"Yes Sir"he said but still envious of what Lisa reached in just 10 days of being in field when in fact he was there for almost 2 months in total but he had none.

'You better watch out, Lisa Manoban'He directly told himself that plotted a lot of things for the young Cadet who's peacefully being cured from all the gun wounds she got a while ago.
