General Vulture was at home in the Core when the camera crew from Carari's company came to record his speech addressing the Resistance fighters and their recent attack on a Carari Incorporated TV station. Even now Revolver Ocelot was moving to Sector Four with a squad of his own to flush out the Resistance and teach the people the price for defying the Crimson Vulture. Carari herself was there by the camera and signalled the sign that they were live as General Vulture sat at his desk in his office now looking at the camera. His face live on every skyscraper and TV in the country.
"People of Isafaro, this is your General. You have seen the unauthorized message by the so called 'Resistance'. Rest assured that there is no truth to their message. They only wish to incite fear and uncertainty among the people. The Crimson Vulture knows what is best for the country. We have protected you for many years and will keep on protecting you. Even now Sector Four will undergo a cleanup to ensure that the Resistance does not go on spreading lies in the country. Remember the slogan of Isafaro. One nation, one people."
The screen went dark as the message ended and now Sector Four was about to get a cruel awakening.
"I think that went rather well," said Carari.
Vulture held out a glass of wine to the Chairwoman. "To Isafaro."

General Vulture's words echoed in the streets of Sector Four as Ocelot walked the streets with a squad of twenty armed men pulling people out of their houses to interrogate them. So far nobody knew the whereabouts of the Isafaro Resistance, or they weren't willing to tell the Crimson Vulture where they were. The soldiers became more vicious as time went on, but still they learned nothing. Ocelot went to one house in particular. The house of the well known exotic dancer, Imai Katayo, and waited for the soldiers to drag her out of her home before he could get some answers.
"Good morning, Miss Katayo. I don't suppose you can tell me the whereabouts of Commander Tori Jacobs and her squad. Anyone who aids an enemy of the state will also be tried as an enemy of the state. I trust you know what that means."
In Isafaro there were few trials, but many executions.

Imai didn't resist when the Vulture troops barged into her home and dragged her out of it and onto her knees at the feet of Revolver Ocelot. Imai was familiar with the old man from the things Kragen had told her about him. Loyal and dangerous. Imai wouldn't tell him anything. This show of force only proved their case that the current form of government needed to be overthrown. Both this show of force and General Vulture's message. She hoped people wouldn't blindly believe the lies of the Crimson Vulture.
"I don't know anything."
Imai looked Ocelot right in the eye when she said that. A lie was better believed when you could make actual eye contact with the person you were lying to.

"Is that so?"
Ocelot tilted his head and looked the woman over. There was nothing in her body language that hinted at her lying, but he knew she wasn't telling the truth either. They seemed to have forgotten all about satellite imagery. Their mistake.
"We caught wind of the three entering Riley's Place last night. Now if memory serves correctly that's your place of work. Surely you must have saw something. I'd hate to have to tear Riley's Place inside and out looking for them. You want to try this again?"

Imai only smiled up at Ocelot.
"Certainly. NOW!"
Out of the house behind them came Logan with an assault rifle so he could open fire on the Vulture troops surrounding Imai. With him were the new recruits of the Isafaro's Resistance. Armando and Made. Armando fired with the gattling gun that was his right arm and Made sent electricity from the strings of her electric guitar at the soldiers all while taking cover so the auto-targetting feature of the Vulture troops wouldn't tear right through them.
Imai then used her power over technology to jam the Vulture men's guns and took one rifle from a nearby Vulture soldier overiding the ID lock with her powers and firing at the troops at point blank range. Now aiming the rifle at Ocelot's chest.
"You want to try this again?"

Ocelot was seldom surprised, but he didn't expect the Resistance to come out guns blazing. Clearly there were more members of the revolt than just Commander Jacobs and her squad. Who knew who the leader truly was. Ocelot watched his soldiers take behind cover and fighting with their now jammed rifles as Imai took one and pointed it at him.
"Certainly."
Ocelot quickly drew his revolver and fired inside the barrel of the rifle to jam it before closing the distance between himself and Imai and grabbing her, placing the revolver to her left temple.
"Stand down or the girl dies!"

Ocelot was ridiculously fast for an old man. Not that Imai was surprised with how skilled Kragen was despite his old age. Next thing she knew she had a revolver stuck to her head, and because it was such an old weapon her powers didn't work on it. Logan, Armando, and Made just looked at each other as they lowered their weapons.
"Let them go. I'm the leader of the Resistance. It was all my idea to overthrow the government. Arrest me."
Imai didn't want to drag her friends into this mess, but she had her doubts that Ocelot would let the others go so easily.

So it was Imai herself who was the leader of this growing Resistance. Tori and all relevant party members reported to her. Surprising considering Imai was just an exotic dancer for a strip joint, but revolutions came in all kinds.
"A noble gesture, but fruitless. That's not how this works. Take them away!"
The soldiers went over to the three who stood down and cuffed them while Ocelot cuffed Imai and pushed her over to one of the Vulture troops.
"Take them to the nearest Isafaro outpost for holding. There we can begin questioning."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldiers began taking Imai's comrades away, but before the Vulture troop with Imai could carry her off Ocelot motioned for him to halt.
"I'm not done interrogating her just yet."
The soldier nodded and brought Imai back down to her knees for Ocelot.
"Where is Commander Jacobs and her squad?"

Imai was back down on her knees thanks to the Vulture troop who had her held by the neck now. She watched as her comrades were taken away, and now only Tori and the others could save them. But they would've been in Sector Twelve meeting the Hallows with no idea what was going on in Sector Four except for the broadcast made by General Vulture. Imai looked up at Ocelot and shook her head.
"I'm not telling you shit."
Imai may have been a stripper, which some considered low life and sluts, but she wasn't going to rat on her own people. That would've been unforgivable.

Ocelot wasn't surprised by Imai's defiance. She had to be talked to in just the right way to get her to spill the beans. He had an idea on how to do just that.
"I'd hate for anything to happen to your friends on their way to the Isafaro outpost. Are you sure you don't know where they are?"
If Imai was the leader of the Resistance then she had to of known where they were. She was the one giving the orders after all. Of course she wouldn't want to talk unless given incentive. His hint should do just that.

What Ocelot didn't know is that there was one more person affiliated with the Resistance on the rooftop of the buildings at the front of where Ocelot and Imai were standing. His eye looking through the scope of his rifle as he aimed at the skull of the Vulture soldier holding Imai in place and fired. The bullet penetrated his skull and he dropped to the ground as Imai stood up and held her arms up for Snake to shoot the cuffs off. She then grabbed the fallen soldier's rifle and unjammed it and fired on Ocelot at point blank range as Snake gave cover fire with his sniper rifle.

Ocelot watched as the soldier was fired upon and fell to his death. Since he was hit in the skull where the brain was he wouldn't come back as an undead soldier following orders. The bullets then came flying at Ocelot himself, but as they neared his position they were forced around him by an invisible barrier and he was unharmed. Ocelot then fired another shot from his revolver at Imai's chest as he quickly took behind cover and got his radio.
"There's a sniper in the area. Send the helicopter!"
A few minutes later a Vulture chopper came into the area and started circling around the rooftops in search for the sniper in place. Finding the man who fired the shot at the Vulture soldier and open firing with its main gun as the remaining Vulture troops left the area with the other three Resistance members.

Snake wasn't surprised to see the bullets speed pass Ocelot. What he knew about the man was that he would have a piece of tech with him to make bullets useless towards him. He knew the man who also went by Snake in the Vulture's crew was a dangerous man as well. He had to be careful when approaching either one. Snake went behind cover when the chopper started firing upon him and he switched to his stinger missile. He came out of hiding and fired a single missile towards the nose of the helicopter looking to take it down.
Meanwhile, Imai barely missed the revolver round by falling out of the way and firing more rounds at the place he was hiding behind to keep him pinned down, even though he didn't need to stay pin down with his protection against rounds, it was the only thing she could think of doing as she stood up and watched as the Vulture troops took off with her comrades. She ran after the vehicle and fired at the wheels looking to take it down.

Two shots down, four shots left before he had to reload. Which was his favorite time in a battle. He came out of cover and fired at the back of Imai as she was busy trying to take down the truck that had her comrades on it. Meanwhile, the chopper took the missile right on the nose and began to waver in the air. Smoke rising out of it as the chopper came back around to the man's rear and fired a missile of its own at the man's position.

There was enough space on the rooftop to escape the missile as he jumped out of the way of the blast that took off a small chunk of the rooftop. He turned around and fired another stinger missile at the damaged chopper.
Imai took the bullet to the back and fell down face first on the ground dropping the rifle in her hands. She was injured now and could barely move as the bullet made its mark on her back. All she could do was watch her comrades get taken away by Vulture soldiers.
