Cyber-Mech Ninja Clan By: Galen Muhammad Mission 4 Previously: Galen and Jennifer meet up with their evil twins Tora and Sakura. They pull through with a victory by using their mechs fusion technique. Then we venture to the south, way south to Antarctica where Elijah and Taj the brothers of the M-Ninja team are tracking down a base. Leaving their originally planned area is dangerous, but they decide it was safer to go and seek out a base hidden in the below zero temperature wasteland. After gaining entry to the base they take down two unfortunate guards. Before they could proceed to the core of the base they encounter their evil twins Hiru and Kuma. This is where our story picks up. Elijah: What do you want? (He pulls out his Laser Magnum X-5.) Hiru: What do you think we want? We want to see you pushing up daisies in the scrap yard you worthless piece of machinery. Kuma: But there's no point in fighting you now. What's the point in trying close combat with us? We'll win for sure, we prefer using our Mechs anyway. So when you finish here, we'll be waiting outside. Taj: I don't buy that bullshit. You'll probably destroy our Mechs and kill us then. Why delay the inevitable and fight now. Then we'll see who come through victorious. Plus, how did you know we were here. Hiru: That's kind of complicated. We sort of share the same mind, since we each share the same minds of one of our creators friends, we can sometimes take small glimpse of what you're thinking and where you are. We figured you were either going to the North or South Pole and we chose here. I guess our intuition was right. Don't fear brother, we'll stay true to our word, even though were so-called "evil", we're still honor bound warriors. Elijah: You have no honor; killing our creator and destroying his lab, but you didn't know he had another section where he kept the Galen we know now. Your plan was foiled because you were too stupid to think Professor Galen had a backup plan. Kuma: Watch your mouth you insolent low budget toaster oven. We made no mistake. We knew about that separate lab, but we figured life would be boring without someone at least close to our skill level. Elijah: That's it I'm tired of your smart-ass insults. You and me, one on one after this is done, I'm going to cover the floor with your synthetic ass. I've had it up to here with your I'm-above-all-others-but-I-actually-suck attitude. Hiru: Such hostility from someone who's being granted a few extra moments to live. We'll leave for now, but later...your ass is ours. (Hiru throws down a smokescreen and as the smoke clears Hiru and Kuma have vanished.) Taj: Those cowards and their special effects. Let's get this done so we can kill them. Elijah: I know how you feel, but we need to concentrate on the task at hand. Man they really know how to get under our skin. Taj: That's because somewhere in their twisted evil mind...they are us. Elijah: Sad, but true. What do you say we unleash our anger on a couple unsuspecting guards. Knowing those two they probably didn't warn the guys inside just so they can watch them die. Since when did they join the Kuro Kage anyway? Taj: I guess they needed to associate with someone almost as power hungry and evil as they are. It makes sense because as the saying goes, "Misery loves company." (They rounded the next corner and came across a steel door.) Taj: This door isn't as reinforced as the outer door; I think I can break it down. (He backed up and delivered a hard sidekick to the door. It bent in a lot but didn't fall. He then punched it full force and the steel door flew off its hinges. The door flew across the small room and flattened a guard against the wall.) Guard 2: Who the...(And that's all he got out when Taj shot him in the neck with his HV (High Velocity) Pulse gun. Now all he was doing was gargling blood, then he dropped to the floor.) Guard 3: (Draws his gun and points it at Elijah) Die! (He fires his gun; the bullet narrowly misses Elijah's head. The guy fired again, but this time Elijah caught the bullet in his hand and crushed it.) Guard 3: (Drops his guns and backs up until he ran into a wall.) What the hell are you guys? (Elijah smiled and walked forward. The guard was pressing so hard against the wall so hard he looked as if he were going to go through it.) Elijah: Your bullet nearly broke through my steel plating. For that, you pay with your life. (Elijah grabbed the screaming man's head and crushed it into a bloody ball.) Taj: Now that was uncalled for. You're nearly as twisted as your twin Kuma. Elijah: Don't you ever compare me to him. (Taj raised his hands to chest level) Taj: Hey man, chill out. I was only joking. You take things too serious. Elijah: I'm sorry I snapped at you. I just hate knowing that that guy is just like me. [In the next room] Sergeant Glesar: I heard a gunshot in the other room, John, De Andre; go check it out. John and De Andre: Yes Sir! (They do the traditional salute than exited the room.) Sergeant Glesar: Private Quimby and Lieutenant Basker prepare the heavy artillery. Meet me in 10 minutes at the missile silo. (They all leave the room.) (A few seconds later Elijah and Taj walk in after their latest kills.) Taj: I thought I heard voices in here. Elijah: Well as you can see, this room is completely empty; your audio sensors must be on the blink as well. Taj: No, there's nothing wrong with me, it a little thing humans do called imagining. Elijah: Yea, that's right. Well, we need to find the missile silo and destroy it, or at least cause a lot of damage to it. (They turn down the next hallway and up some stairs; from behind they hear voices. Quickly they press themselves against the wall and wait. As the people climb to the top of the stairs Elijah and Taj turn around the corner and punch the leading person down the stairs. They run down the stairs as the guys are still falling and kick them in their stomachs, which send them flying back up the stairs where they slam against the wall. Miraculously the soldiers slowly get up to their feet and draw their weapons. Before they could shoot Elijah and Taj jump up in the air and break their necks with a jump spinning back kick.) Elijah: This is a suspicious looking sight; let's get them back with the other bodies. (They take the time to drag the two dead soldiers into the room with their other squad members. Then they go back up the stairs and there is a split passage.) Elijah: Ok, I'll go left. If you see anything or get in any trouble call me. Taj: Don't worry; just because I'm your younger brother don't mean I can't take care of myself. Elijah: Right! Good luck, and try not to get yourself killed. It'll take a long time to rebuild you. Taj: Look who's talking, mister I-got-to-blow-up-everything-I-can man. (Elijah hurries down the left passage while Taj continues forward.) [Tokyo, Japan Outside a local Anime store] Brandon: We really need to get jobs. I barely had enough money to purchase these Rurouni Kenshin DVD's. Keith: You're right. I mean, using a mech is cool and all, but we don't get paid for it. All we get is the satisfaction of watching the enemy explode and listening to their final screams of anguish. People close enough to hear the conversation were looking at them like they were terrorists or something so they decided to keep moving. Keith: You know, I always wanted to come here. Well at least the Keith I'm programmed after wanted to. Brandon: Yea, this is like a lifetime dream. Every anime ever made at our fingertips; but yet we have no money to buy it all. (He lets out a sigh of despair.) And nothing really happens here. I mean they have these conventions and all, but where's all the excitement. At least in those low budget Godzilla movies our creator's parents watched Tokyo had something going on. In real life it's like a city in the United States. Keith: Yea I hear ya. What do you say we go to the swimming park and check out the sexy ladies there? Brandon: Now that's a plan. Better than my go get something to eat, and then get some sleep plan. (Just as they were walking onto the street where the swimming park was they heard an alarm and a low drone type voice come over the IA (Important Announcement) System.) Voice: Attention all pedestrians...Attention all pedestrians. The Kuro Kage military is now attacking the city of Tokyo. I repeat the Kuro Kage military is taking over Tokyo. Surrender the pilots of the M-Ninja's and you'll be done no harm. Refuse and we will destroy your cities. (A picture of Brandon and Keith appeared on a wide screen on buildings around the city.) Brandon: Oh, Shit. Where'd they get those? Keith: I don't know, but our twins might have something to do with it. We can't be seen in public anymore. Even if the people do attack us, I don't want to hurt innocent civilians. Brandon: We have to be on the down low now. If they know we're here, they must have found our MCUs. That warehouse where we left them must be pretty heavily guarded now. (Brandon and Keith run into an alley and look around.) Brandon: Hey, look, that manhole, do you think the sewer will lead us to the warehouse. Keith: I think so, let me check. (He projects a map of the sewer system from his watch.) Yea it does; but even if we can get to our MCU's. They might try to use the people to keep us from fighting them Brandon: Well, we'll just have to cross that bridge when we get to it; but for now, this is the best plan we got. Keith: Ok, let's do this. (He slips his fingers in the holes of the manhole cover and pulls it off, then places it aside. They jump inside then pull the top back on.) Brandon: Damn, it's dark as hell down here. We'll have to switch to night vision. Keith: Right. Switching now. (A green lens expands over their normally brown colored eyes and shows a greenish field of vision in front of them.) Man, our creator thought of almost everything. Except for maybe x-ray vision. Brandon: Oh, he knew about x-ray vision, but he also knew what we'd do with x-ray vision, if you know what I'm saying. Keith: (laughs) Yea, I get you. Maybe he was a genius after all. Too bad we never got to get to know him personally. Brandon: Yea, but right now we don't have time to dwell on things that can never be changed. We have a city that needs be saved. Bring up that map again. Keith: (Keith projects the map in front of them and it acts as a small flashlight, but it isn't enough to illuminate the dank and gloomy tunnel with its green colored water and putrid smell.) Ok, let's go this way. (They run forward in the direction of their MCU's hiding place, which isn't hidden anymore.) [At the abandoned warehouse] Capt. Lautriv: Have you found them yet lieutenant Ihsoy. Lt. Ihsoy: No sir! Our forces have yet to see them in the streets. We haven't found any co-conspirators that may be hiding them. Our ground air radar hasn't picked up any aircraft other than our own. We hope to catch them before 1500 hours. (Another soldier runs up.) Soldier Michelle: Sir! Two of our new recruits think they know where they are. They believe their underground, in the sewers. (Capt. Lautriv smiled) Capt. Lautriv: Good work soldier. Get some men to the sewage system, I want you to flush them out; and have men at every main exit to welcome our Mech-less friends. (A look of triumph came over his face. *Now we can collect two of these guys and find out what their made of, then we can create our own super soldiers. * [Back in the sewers] (Still following the map, Keith and Brandon get closer to their destination) Keith: We should be getting closer, and arrive in about two minutes. Brandon: Hold on... (He remained motionless for a few seconds)... Keith: What is it? Brandon: Raion is nearby. I don't know how I know. I just feel that he's here. Keith: I knew I felt Neko's energy signal. It seems we're linked to our twin's brain in a psychic way. Brandon: There's something else. There was another vision while I blanked out. It was... (A look of horror came across his face.) we got to go now. Keith: (Starts running with Brandon...always act then ask questions later.) (Soon, off in the distance, a noise is heard like a far off waterfall, you can barely hear it, but know that it's powerful. They started to run faster, but not even their powerful mechanical legs could let them escape the onslaught of the raging water.) Keith: Look, up ahead. (He pointed to a ladder about ten feet up ahead. The water was nearly on their heels.) Keith was the first to reach the ladder. He barreled up the rungs and pushed on the lid.) Brandon: Hey, what's wrong hurry up man? (By now the water was ten feet and closing...fast.) Keith: The lid is stuck shut. I think there's something on it I think. (He pushed harder and the lid budged a little bit, but by then the water was upon them. Keith held on to the rungs of the ladder and swayed a bit in the raging rapids, but Brandon wasn't as lucky. He was washed down the next corner and out of sight.) Keith: No! I'll come in and get you. Brandon: (Off in the distance.) No, go get your MCU and get me before the Kuro Kage military forces attack me. Keith: Ok. I'll find a way to help you. (By then Brandon was out of hearing range. Keith turned back to try the manhole top again, but he was meet with a 200,000 watt Shocker. His circuits shorted out and he slumped over.) Soldier: Now its time to see what makes you tick. (The soldier carried him back to the camp for mechanical analysis. [Further down the Sewer tunnel] (Brandon: was banged against the wall and he heard Keith say something.) Brandon: No, go get your MCU and get me before the Kuro Kage military forces attack me. (Keith said somethin else, but he couldn't hear it. As he was washed away at an alarmingly fast rate he came up to an exit. Outside he could hear soldiers from the Kuro Kage talking idly. Brandon: Oh, shit. I can't get caught out there alone. It sounds like a whole army, and not even my steel-plated armor can stop rockets and high velocity bullets. (He came upon the exit and was dumped out into the air, his arms flailed helplessly to fall one-hundred feet towards the rocks below.) Brandon: So this is how it ends for me. I become a mechanical pizza on the grounds of Japan. Not really the way I intended to go, but what can I do now. END OF MISSION 4
