Launch a stealthy extraction mission to rescue Nami and Nojiko first, then deal with Arlong afterward.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You stand on the command bridge, reviewing the tactical display of Arlong Park with your inner circle gathered around you. As Maxine mentions the extraction chambers again, you raise your hand to interrupt her.
"Deactivate the extraction chambers," you command. "We use those for summoning beings from fictional universes, not for transforming people already in this world. Prepare the portable transformation devices instead."
Maxine bows deeply, her enormous breasts straining against her lab coat. "As you wish, Divine Mother. I'll have them ready immediately."
"One more thing," you continue, addressing the team. "Spare Hachi, the octopus fishman. His connection to Silvers Rayleigh will prove valuable later. Ensure he understands his life is spared solely due to that connection."
Bellemere's lips tighten into a thin line. "That creature participated in enslaving my daughters, Divine Mother."
You stroke her cheek possessively. "And he'll carry that shame forever, knowing his continued existence stems from a relationship he barely comprehends, not any inherent worth."
She lowers her eyes. "I live to serve your vision, Divine Mother."
"For the rescue operation," you announce, "Naruko, Satsuki, Hinata—extract Nami and Nojiko with absolute stealth. No one should realize they're gone until we're ready for the second phase."
The three kunoichi kneel before you, their enhanced bodies accentuated by their form-fitting tactical gear.
Ten minutes later, they depart the Helicarrier. Rather than swimming, they sprint across the water's surface, their chakra-controlled steps creating barely perceptible ripples. When they reach shore, they scale the walls of Arlong Park vertically, defying gravity with perfect chakra control.
"Satsuki, surveillance report," Naruko whispers through their comm system.
"Sharingan confirms twenty-three targets," Satsuki responds, her enhanced eyes spinning slowly. "Primary target Arlong in the central courtyard. Secondary targets distributed throughout the compound. Target Nami isolated in northeast tower. Target Nojiko in underground holding cell."
Hinata's byakugan activates, veins bulging around her eyes as her vision penetrates walls. "I can see their chakra networks clearly. Nami's is depleted—she hasn't slept in days. Nojiko's is fluctuating with fear but otherwise strong."
The kunoichi separate, moving with preternatural speed. Naruko creates three shadow clones that position themselves as lookouts while she coordinates the extraction.
Satsuki reaches the cartography room first, walking horizontally along the exterior wall before slipping through an open window. Inside, Nami hunches over a large parchment, her orange hair lank with sweat and tears staining the ink.
"Sleep now," Satsuki whispers, her Sharingan spinning hypnotically as she appears before Nami. The young cartographer's eyes widen briefly before her consciousness fades, her body collapsing into Satsuki's waiting arms.
Simultaneously, Hinata descends headfirst down a vertical shaft, her chakra-coated feet adhered to the stone as she moves like a spider toward the cells. Using her Byakugan, she identifies the weakest point in the ceiling above Nojiko's cell and silently phases through it.
Nojiko looks up in shock at the purple-haired kunoichi descending from above. "Who the hell—"
"Gentle Fist: Sleep Point," Hinata murmurs, her fingertip pressing a precise chakra point at the base of Nojiko's neck. The blue-haired woman instantly loses consciousness.
"Targets secured," Naruko confirms through the comm link. "Withdrawing now."
The three kunoichi exit as they entered, running vertically down walls and horizontally across water, each carrying a precious cargo. Within minutes, they return to the Helicarrier without raising a single alarm.
"Extraction phase complete, Divine Mother," Naruko reports as they lay the unconscious sisters in the medical bay. "No witnesses, no evidence, no pursuit."
You smile coldly, activating your command console. "Combat team, you have clearance to engage. Remember your objectives."
As Yamato, Wonder Woman, Power Girl, Supergirl, and Divine prepare to launch, you turn to Bellemere. "Watch over your daughters. When they wake, they'll need their mother's guidance to understand their new reality."
