The Militant: Ave Maria
[Warning, Spoilers]
Finding out about Government Agents being sent to a small Catholic university town in Southwest Florida, the Militant decides to pay a visit to these Agents and have a "talk" with them. He finds out that the Agents are merely decoys for him, and he is framed for a supposed terrorist attack on this town, so that the New Government can legally intervene and militarize this section of the Holy Opposition.
Through the "talk" with the Agents, the Militant is able to track down Big Boss, the person who is orchestrating all of this set-up, and goes to have a "talk" with him as well. The Big Boss shows little resistance to the Militant and confesses that his plan was not to kill the Militant but to have a fight with the New Government, even though he is supposedly working under it.
Together they decide to join forces and to fight against the New Government's imminent attack on the small town, and then the Militant commands Big Boss to leave that town, and the other towns of the Holy Opposition, alone.
The New Government, learning of the defeat at that battle, devices a new plan to take over the hot spots of the Holy Opposition... Operation: Unholy Trinity.
[Further explanation:]
The Militant has had a previous "talk" (interrogation and torture) with these two Agents, so he feels that this is a set-up, but goes anyway because he really wants to find to the chain of command of the New Government in order to kill all its leaders.
In his "talk" with one of the Agents he finds that the New Government is watching the Agent's family and threatening to kill them if the Agents do not collaborate. The Militant promises to do all he can to save them and send them to safety.
He also finds out that the plot against him is also a plot for the New Government to legally take over Ave Maria town and thus crush one of the most powerful spots of the Holy Opposition by making it seem that the Militant and a team of terrorist went over to take the town hostage, and so the Salut Army (the Government's Army) would intervene and "neutralize" the terrorist, thus killing the Militant and taking over Ave Maria town.
The terrorist group was to be supplied by Alfred, aka the Big Boss, who is in high command within the New Government, but who has also at times been at odds with the Government.
The Militant finds the location of Big Boss' headquarters and goes in to find out more about this plan and other information, and to kill him, but the Big Boss shows little resistance to the Militant and proposes a new plan instead, in which Big Boss supplies the "terrorist" team to the Militant if the Militant agrees to engage in battle with the New Government, this way the Big Boss can gain more power against the New Government.
Being a question of having Ave Maria town be partly destroyed and then militarized and taken over by the Government, and of cooperating with one of his big enemies, the Militant reluctantly agrees and they head over to Ave Maria town and wait for the big showdown.
Seeing that the "terrorists" are winning, the Salut Army retreats and does not take over Ave Maria town, and then the Militant commands Big Boss to leave the town with his terrorists, and to leave the Holy Opposition out of this. Big Boss agrees and leaves. The Militant also leaves the town so that the New Government may have no more excuses to try to take it.
But the New Government already has a Plan B: Operation Unholy Trinity...
Scenes
The Militant: Ave Maria
Scene One: Intro
The Militant is in Confession and confesses that he does not plan on stopping his violent ways as long as the New Government still exists. The priest denies him absolution and gives him a blessing.
-Titles begin to appear-
Scene Two: Car Scene
The Militant is seen leaving the church and getting into a car, where he and an acquaintance talk about the Militant's next mission in a small town of the Holy Opposition, where two Government Agents have been sent. The Militant perceives this as a trap, since he has already interrogated these Agents before, but still decides to go and see what's going on.
-Title screen appears-
Scene Three: Arrival at Ave
This is a transitional scene, showing the Militant driving through Ave, and going to the offices to find the Agents. He notices some peculiar additions that the New Government has added to this town, and does some adjustments (e.g., he may see a Strip Club and blows it up).
Scene Four: Interrogations
The Militant interrogates one of the Agents but he passes out, and as he is interrogating the other Agent, the Agent reveals the sinister plan that the Government has to kill the Militant and take over Ave Maria town, as well as the Government's kidnapping of the Agents' family. The Militant agrees to do what he can in order to take their family to safety if they tell him the location of the mastermind behind this plan.
Scene Five: The Big Boss
The Militant goes to Montana where Alfred, the Big Boss, is at. He infiltrates his headquarters and when he gets to the Big Boss' floor, he finds that the Big Boss was in fact expecting him and offers a deal to the Militant. The deal would be that instead of having the Government's plan to take place, they join forces and fight against the Government's army. In interest of keeping Ave Maria town out of harms way and free from the Government's control, the Militant reluctantly agrees.
Scene Six: The Battle for Ave
Unaware of the change of plans, the Government's Army heads to Ave Maria town only to find a great resistance and battle.
Scene Seven: Resolution
After the battle, the Militant commands the Big Boss to leave the town and to leave the Holy Opposition out of his retaliation to the New Government, since his motives and aims are different and incompatible. The Militant also sees that his ways are incompatible with that of the Holy Opposition and that his presence there puts the town at risk, so he also leaves, looking for other battles to fight.
Scene Eight: Epilogue
Emperor Rone is seen discussing a new plan with the Government's leaders, a plan that will let them have full control of the hot spots of the Holy Opposition... Operation: Unholy Trinity.
Scene Nine: Credits
