 (ja. チップちゃんキック×シャンティ- SF任務部隊！！), known in USA as Chieftain Fusion is a one-shot audio drama released by Terminal Voltage as a collaboration between WayForward and Epic/Sony (who owns MetroVG in period between 2007 and 2012). This is a spinoff from the main series despite the audio drama takes place in time period between Shantae and Shantae: Risky's Revenge plot events as a compensation measure for those who's been waiting for Shantae Advance. 
==Plot==
Malice and Stacey finally resurrected Sylvester Marciano and asked him to find new coleader to their gang named Changan. Suddenly some pirate girl named Risky Boots, the menace of Scuttle-Town and "of All-Persia", has been appeared. In meantime NORAD extension office in San-Fran being attacked by some group of soldiers in black. Comms Officer Warrington urged Youska to immideately engage herself inside operation. In meantime, accidentally or in purpose, girl named Shantae and her friends shown up in San-Fran looking for someone.
Sylvester called all his henchmen and henchwomen together even those who are destroyed (he relived all his henchwomen) and asked them to engage each district of San-Fran. Shantae and Youska tried to stop each of them, but first they had to get information about each capo on the district.
Youska and Shantae in the middle of the plot beloved each other, even more than just friendly love, but they had to hold their love till the end of the trip, although each of girls did some things one to another (and even kissed).
After taking down Risky Boots, Youska suddenly found that she realized destroying Malice, Stacey, Risky Boots and Marciano didn't made Seika to return back to her. After Youska spilled the beans to Shantae it came to light she urged to leave CIA and must join NORAD because of Shantae and Sopha. She said Seika was just a flashback and Youska didn't made her back. Youska asked Shantae to leave San-Fran.

===Main characters===
* Youska Chieftain is black asian mulatto girl who is really fond in dancing. She is working in NORAD due to Sophia's convincing request to the higher-ups, so she is actually a kind of secret agent. 
* Shantae is a half-genie girl who still looking for Risky Boots "...who is DOING... CHAOS!!!" as she said. When met Youska, she nearly rumbled with her, then realised she was a good friend and possibly her lover. Shantae gave her an ability that allows Youska became half-genie too and transform herself to animal, vehicle or even weather phenomenon. She called it "Genie Henshin" (ja. ジーニー変心).
* Risky Boots is a menacing pirate girl who is literately doing chaos. Declared as a "The Main Threat of-All-Persia" by Shantae's "old man" uncle Mimic.
* Rottytops and Sky - these two girls are not here to stay without action any longer.
===Supporting characters===
* NORAD Comms Officer and NORAD Supply Officer - like Enclave officers in Fallout 2, they played exact same roles in the audio drama.
* Seika Chaplygina is Youska's sister and NORAD executive officer in San-Fran. In this audio drama, it's Future Seika, as it came to light, she didn't returned to Youska after the battle.
===Mentioned===
* Mimic - Shantae's "old-man" uncle. He produces precise copies of every artifact and device he discovers. Mentioned by Shantae while she got flashback.
* Bolo - Shantae mentioned him as a friend, not her lover. Clumsy and heavy person who prefers to fight on fists over thinking hard.
* Kirika - possibly reference to first voice actor of Shantae named Kirika Wei when it's planned to develop Risky Revolution. Shantae accidentally said "And Kirika, she's..." but she couldn't continue the sentence. Youska asked her to continue after that getting "Screw it!" from Shantae's mouth.

==Difference with Shantae series==
* Bolo seems to not to be shown up in audio drama being replaced by Youska Chieftain as Shantae should be her sidekick, meaning Bolo is just a friend, not her lover.
* Scuttle-town is a city in Persia (instead of Sequin Land), just like Empire Bay, it doesn't existed and is based on real existing villages in ancient Iran.
* Risky Boots is more human than demon or genie.
* Youska's eyes in audio drama poster prints are blue, not brown like in prints in earlier franchise products. However, posters supplied with CD revealed Youska with brown eyes as it should be.
==Dubbing problems==
===Arabic countries===
Due of the offensive hints on sexual behaviour of heroines, this audio drama has been banned in entire Arabian segment.
===Europe===
Shantae's been aged up to 21 y.o. along with Youska due to strict policy of Child-Protection-Act.
===Russia and CIS===
Due to Russia's zero tolerancy policy against LGBTQ the audio drama was released in shortened variacy under the name "SHANTAE & CHIEFTAIN: Path of the Ruler" (rus. Шантай и Чифтен: Путь Вождя). Though some moments such as offensive swears and suggestive homosexuality content were replaced or removed, the audio drama was releaced in Russia with official dub of Straight-Pro.
===United States===
As the audio drama still hasn't been officially approved by Matt Bozon, the director of franchise, the "Shantae" callsign has been removed from the title, but Shantae itself existed under her "factory name". However, WayForward officially approved releasing this audio novel in USA without mentioning "Shantae" in title.
==Trivia==
* This audio drama is developed in same studio as Mega Man Zero audio drama. 
* San-Fran Tag Team is considered as lost media ydlmzSound: It's only a rehearsal edit scraps found. I'm gonna restore all the sequence of audio drama from the retail CD version so it will took much time: YouTube post on his channel
* Sequin Land was renamed to Persia to avoid copyright claims from Classic Media who owned Turok game series (Sequin nation in Turok Evolution).
