Chapter 1: The Jewel and the Carrot
Outside the palace of the Dead, four figures separated from the shadows. Two went up the wall, one to a tunnel that led underneath the castle, and the fourth was forced to "Keep watch." Over the groups walkie talkies the watcher complained, "Guys why does Battery get stuck with watching."
"Why are you talking about yourself in the third person," asked a male voice over the walkie talkie.
"Will you all be quiet, we are breaking in here. Keep your mouths shut, especially you Letcher and Battery."
The walkie talkies silenced and all of the people continued on their separate missions.
+++
A boy and girl sneak through the main entrance of the palace. The normally busy office space of the palace was quiet for the moment. All of the ogres had gone home hours ago to have some sleep. The Urameshi Team had just completed a successful mission, so they had a few moments of rest until the next crisis. That made breaking in even easier.
The boy held a rope that was tied to a girl climbing into the air duke. The girl in the air duke crawled through the maze, trying to find the correct opening. 'Five more to the right, then three to the left, and then I'm there.' The girl couldn't help her heart from pounding; this was the best part of the robbery. It would definitely be hilarious. Reaching her destination, she pried open the door.
"Letcher I'm here get ready," she said into her headphone.
Static answered until a boys voice came over it, a lot louder than needed, "Okay Rouge, I'm ready for you," there was a pause. "By the way what does Letcher mean anyways?"
Removing the speaker from her ear she braced herself, and then jumped through the opening. Her descent was quickly stopped by the rope attached to her waist; she slowly began to descend again. As she began to descend to her destination a strange tune came its way into her mind. Quietly she started to hum the theme to "Mission Impossible." Finally, she reached her destination, slowly and quietly she un-hooked herself form the rope that had held her up. Her eyes came to rest on a small crib that held her prize. Rouge walked towards the crib like a wolf, stalking its prey and the smirk never left her face. She looked into the crib to see a toddler sleeping soundly. Rouge reached into the crib with one hand and the other was reaching towards her belt.
"Finally, I'll get that annoying pacifier from you," Rouge whispered aloud.
She grasped her hands lightly on the pacifier and slowly moving the object in her hand to the child's face. Pausing for a moment longer she finally grabbed the pacifier, holding her breath, she expected him to make a noise, but it never came. Rogue crawled silently back to the rope and ascended back into the ceiling, humming a certain them all of the way. The child shifted in its crib, sucking on a carrot instead of his precious pacifier.
+++
Using the shadows as her friend, Fox Child, a graceful, cunning girl descended to the most precious vault in all of the worlds. Opening the vault she could see all of the lasers along the floor, deciding to go up the wall, Fox Child began the long process. Finally reaching the center of the room, where the treasure lay, she slowly descended using the rope as security. Her long hair nearly toughed a laser, but she was quick to catch it. She was within reaching distance of the treasure, she was about to grab it when CRASH. Fox Child nearly fell into the lasers as she saw Battery tumble down the stairs and pass through the maze of laser without touching any.
Battery stood up and brushed herself off, "Hey, Fox Child, why are you hanging from the ceiling?"
She couldn't answer; she just looked in shock and wonder as to why the girl in front of her had survived so long. Battery quickly got distracted by the jewel that Fox Child was above. Picking it up and holding it up triumphantly she asked, "Is this what you wanted?"
Fox Child's desire to yell at Battery was cut off, when Battery took a step too close to a laser. In lighting speed, Fox Child pushed Battery out of the way, but couldn't stop herself from hitting the lasers herself. Alarms sounded throughout the palace, giving away their location.
"Ooh. Look what you did."
"Shut up and run Battery," said Fox Child as she grabbed her arm, struggling to dodge all of the new obstacles in her way.
Ten stories up and several now unconscious ogres later, Fox Child and Battery made it to the forest. Rogue and Letcher were waiting for them.
"What happened," asked Letcher?
"Fox set off the alarms," answered Battery. "What, you, be glad that you are needed or you would be dead."
"Why are you blaming me, all I did was take a step back, then you freaked out."
Rogue had to hold Fox Child back as they all made their way, not so quietly, to escape to the human world.
