He looked up at her, unable to stand on his feet. Her dark hair swaying back in the wind, her green eyes dancing with a sarcastic glint and the dagger in her hand shimmering dangerously in the reflection of the sunlight. He looked around to see his five men already on the floor.
It all began with him laughing and understimating a girl and now the tables have turned.

He watched her turn on her heels and walk away,
"Wait, Who are you? And you didn't kill my men or me?"

She looked over her shoulder and said,
"This is just a warning, next time you plan on stepping in front of me, dig your own graves too.
Oh, I'm Alaska......Alaska Grey. That's all you need to know."

He knew she wasn't an ordinary person. The dagger in her hand had a black hilt with silver carvings on the steel as though something is engraved.

"Alaska....I'll remember you."
*********************************
She threw open the heavy iron bound door and entered the room.
"Captain, I'm back."
The man sitting on his chair looked up at her from the papers his eyes were scanning. His white hair showed signs of aging but his eyes always held power and authority.

"Take a seat. And tell me."
"Well, I got the documents you wanted however it didn't match the code that we decrypted from the system."
He looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
"But, the logo and the number at the begining square are the same. Someone is playing dirty."

The Captain thought for a while and got up. He paced around the room and then said,
"It will be chaos if we don't get our hands on that information. And a bigger problem is if it falls into the wrong hands."

"What do we do?" Alaska whispered, lost in her own thoughts.

"There is only one place that has the direct connection to the head quarter of Zethlin and I need you to go there."

She raised her eyebrow in question and Captain let out a sigh,
"Aledera."

The very name brought back dreadful memories. But she has to do this. She cannot let Captain down due to some past of hers.

" I'll go. You can count on me."
"However, Alaska, going alone is risking just as much as going with too many people. You should stay as an undercover and therefore there is one more person I am sending along with you. Some one that is equal to your caliber."

"Who?" asked Alaska with a quizzical expression

"Zack Lear.....the top undercover at this agency. Just like you."

She has heard quite a lot about him but never met him in person.

" You have to meet the commander of Aledera and he will tell you the rest."

"Alright. I have some training to do. I'll keep that in mind."
Saying this she swiftly left the room

Captain turned back to his table and whispered to himself,
"I want to see how strong you have become Alaska. This time Aledera will  not see Scarlet, but Alaska."
***********************************
She lay on her bed, a hundered thoughts in her head.
She wondered how Aledera would have changed. She wondered if the people she knew are still there and if they would remember her.

"No.....Scarlet is dead. I am Alaska....Alaska Grey and no one will tell me what to do. It been 8 Years and I'm back, Aledera."
