[Location: Lastation Forest]

"A-Alex. I'm not sure about this."

"Jackie. Please. If we wanna make this work, we need a reunion. Becky unfortunately couldn't get today off but Weiss was able to use her break to come here today."

After the emotional confrontation last night at the beach, Alex and Weiss had agreed to meet up the next day at the forest to avoid Dekota's security.

Eventaully, sounds were heard of bushes moving so Alex and Jackie were on guard in case it was one of Dekota's handpicked guards.

Thankfully it wasn't as it was Weiss who came by still in her casual wear.

"Your, wearing that at the hosptial?" Asked Alex.

"No idiot. I just switched clothing so my nurse outfit wouldn't get ruined. Anyways." She said as she turned her head to look at her current former leader as Jackie shyly looked away.

Even after the picture and video, Jackie deep down still had a small part of her believing it was fake and just a ploy to convince her.

That immediately went away as Weiss quickly hugged Jackie as Jackie was shocked but then also hugged back.

Both girls had a much needed hug.

"Finally. Your back home." Said Weiss who was glad Jackie had agreed to come back.

"Y-Yeah. All thanks to you guys, and Alex." She responded with a small smile.

"Sorry Becky couldn't make it. Today she absolutely needed to work so she couldn't spare time to come with me to see you. Either way, Becky is also extremely happy that your gonna fight for your spot back."

"I honestly miss Becky and her, antics, but still you get what I mean."

Weiss nodded as she looked towards Alex.

"So, what's the plan? How're we gonna get Weiss face to face with Dekota? She practically knows and sees everything that's going on. It's nearly impossible to sneak Jackie in."

"We just need a simple enough distraction. One that isn't TOO obvious of a distraction."

"Glad you say that. Believably, Becky is good at distracting. Not just cause her massive melons attract all the men's eyesight, but, she's also a good talker and staller." Said Weiss.

"Alright then it's settled. We'll have Becky distract Dekota long enough to sneak to her entrance door."

Weiss nooded and Jackie also noddes though she had kept something to herself that she would say later.

After a nice little chat Alex and Jackie left the forest and Weiss went back to her shift at the hospital.

As Alex and Jackie walked back to the apartment, Jackie walked in front of and stopped Alex.

"Got something to say Jackie?"

"I agree with your plan on one condition."

"What is it?"

"Once me and you are in Dekota's office confronting her, I want you to leave the office and wait outside with Weiss."

"Y-You wanna take your job back on your own?"

Jackie nodded.

"Ever since I killed Jack, I've always been a liability. Weak. Scared. Wimpy. And afraid. And I proved it when I believe Dekota's fake rumor of an uprising. Tomorrow, is my chance to finally prove to myself that I'm a leader. The Jackie you see now is no longer the leader that the old Jackie was. I never will be the same. But, I'll be a leader again. A new type of leader that'll won't be afraid."

Alex chuckled.

"Now that's the spirit." Said Alex.

This proved Jackie was now fully prepared to fight for her spot back and she wasn't turning back now.

Alex and Jackie eventually made it back to his apartment as Jackie immediately went to her room to rest.

"She looks like she's in a good mood." Said Rita as she was cleaning dishes in the kitchen. "Did what happened last night bring back her spirit?"

"That and today. Jackie Colt Black has returned and is ready to become a new leader."

Rita smiled. "Honestly, only a week after you guys and Hyperion invaded and destroyed Schicksal's base here you immediately go and get involved in another organizations issues."

"Yeah I know. I'm not very loyal."

"Neither was I. I went against Otto. Anyways, I prefer that in a person. One who puts personal issues and relationships over brand loyalty."

Alex chuckled at that.

"Yeah that's nice. Anyways, tomorrow's the day."

"Good luck. You better come back and tell me that it succeeded. Or else it's off with your head." Rita said.

Alex hoped she was joking but with Rita he couldn't ever play it safe.

"After what happened last night, I better make it work."

"Go rest. Tomorrow's important."

Alex nodded and went to his room and gave a glance to Admin book.

"The last two weeks have been busy haven't they Alex? One week ago your invading Schicksal now this week your helping in overthrowing a tyrant leader."

"Yeah lifestyle crazy now. But it's the right thing to do. Everyone wants Jackie back. I trust Jackie. And most importantly, Jackie now trusts and believes in herself."

"Please Alex. Makse sure tomorrow goes good. It's important to Jackie."

"Understood." Said Alex as he laid down in bed, taking one final second to think over everything before finally falling asleep.

[The Next Day]

Thanks to Weiss' help, Alex and Jackie were able to get into Base Kamno.

Now, they wait on Becky to do her part.

"Where's Becky?"

"Already at the door. She starting her distraction, now! Let's go!"

Alex, Jackie, and Weiss immediately snuck into the main building where Jackie's former office, now Dekota's office, was located thanks to Weiss sneaking them in cause of her high status as one of their lead medics.

After a short elevator ride, they made it to the floor of the office which was just a short hallway with a few windows with the office door directly ahead of them.

Weiss alerted Becky to end her stalling via their ear pieces so The trio walkes forward as Becky walked out and the four meet in the middle of the hallway.

Becky immediately hugged Jackie as she also hugged back.

No words were exchanged as Dekota would've heard them but Becky gave Jackie a look that said you better get the job done.

Becky took the elevator and left as Weiss stopped in the hallway as motioned for them to enter.

Alex, still having manners knocked first.

"Enter." Said Dekota as Alex entered first on his own as he caught his first look at Dekota

"Hm? Oh. I've heard about you. Your Alex Mustang. One of the people who assisted in the takedown of Schicksal HQ."

"I'm glad you know."

"Unfortunately I do. The hell are you here for? Tryin to take over Base Kamno? Fat chance. We're far to advance for you to easily take over. We'd crush you Black Ops pests."

"Well, funny you say that. Yes, there IS a take over. BUT, it isn't from me."

Dekota immediately was curious as Alex motioned Jackie to come in and she did as she stood face to face "succesor".

Dekota merelt grew a smirk and laughed. "The pussy cat Jackie. You've returned with your tail tucked betwern your legs haven't you? Has AWOL been youe greatest mistake?"

Dekota had a smug look on her face as Jackie merely kept quiet making it obvious this was the most serious Jackie has been.

"What? Too afraid to talk? Beg you pussy cat. Beg me to bring you back Jack-."

Alex went wide eyed as Jackie immediately shut up Dekota with a hard punch to the cheek.

"Alex. Leave. Time to show someone what Military Training does."

"You think your old school training means a damn!? I can wipe the floor with you!"

Alex smiled and left the room letting Jackie do her thing as he sat down with Weiss sitting next to him.

"I missed this Jackie."

"Hm?"

"Yes. Jackie was afraid and scared but, she was very confident. No one could beat her. Now, she's back." Weiss said with a small tear.

Alex saw first hand how much this meant to not just Weiss but also Becky and all of Base Kamno.

He simply smiled and looked ahead.

'Welcome back.'

Soon the sounds of punches, grunts, and thuds were over as Alex and Weiss entered the room to the sight, of a knocked out Dekota and a proud Jackie sitting at her rightful desk.

"Welcome to Black Jacks' Base Kamno. My name's Jackie Colt Black."
