Firestarter is the twenty-sixth mission of Just Cause 4: Sakaku.
Plot[]
Day 48. December 11th, 2017.
Rico has liberated Sakanu, but now he has the daunting task of liberating Sakana, which consisted of Ausaku, Honokaku, Junaku, Sacraakaku, New Sakaku, and Sakaku City. And they were all heavily occupied by Communist Liberation Army elites, grunts, and ninjas.
But first, Rico has to destroy the remaining infinitium ballistic missiles! But how?
Fortunately, Allison discovered an underground network which could lead to any infinitium ballistic missile launch site in Sakana.
Day 48 evening. December 11th, 2017.
Rico manages to sneak into the facility containing the missile launch pad. But what's this? The alarm suddenly sounds. It seems Rico has been discovered.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! You cannot defeat me Rico Rodriguez! In fifteen minutes, these missiles will fire, and destroy the very wart on the face of the earth, America!
A countdown starts. Rico pulls out his M38 AT6 and blows up the infinitium missiles. The explosion creates a massive hole in the middle of Ausaku.
Rico speeds to Honokaku and Junaku, and destroy the missiles there.
T-minus one minute to infinitium missile launch! Repeat, one minute!
Rico boosts his Eldrith Tech ED-001 to Sacraakaku and directly slams into the APC containing the missile, disabling it, and the missiles.
However, the missiles in New Sakaku and Sakaku City still fire.
Fortunately, Allison shows up in a AF "Rex" F-88 and Rico grapples to it.
The missiles are still not too far into orbit when Rico catches up to them. There is however, one problem. Instead of one missile in Baia, now there's six missiles to catch and destroy.
Rico, in no shortage of his bravado, grapples to one of them. Adolf Vindi taunted him, stating it was impossible to break the metal containing the warhead. Rico nonetheless tears off the metal sheeting exposing the warhead. He then orders Allison to fire on it.
Rico just barely manages to grapple to the F-88 before the missile explodes mid-air, destroying the 6 missiles, and thus denied Vindi any chance of nuking America.
However, Vindi did have one final option.
