Chapter One
The Setting: Yellow Comet HQ, up in the Mountains
The Time: 4:27 PM
The Situation: Party!
"Are you sure this is the way?"
"Yeah, yeah, just go left."
"You sure?"
"Lady, I've taken people up here before. I haven't gotten lost for years."
"Sorry..."
"Heh, it's okay. I'm used to that kind of stuff."
The Yellow Comet Recon drove through the mountain path, heading for Yellow Comet HeadQuarters. The driver was taking Andy, Sami, Max, Nell, Hachi and Flak up.
"I wonder why the party is being held up in the mountain HQ?" Andy asked.
"Beats me," Max said. "So we can be left alone?"
"That sounds like the best one," Flak said.
Flak had joined Orange Star after Black Hole shut down. Lash had gone off, not being heard from since. Nobody knew where she was.
"Well, going all the way up here better be worth it!" Sami said. "I'm ready to relax after all that's happened..."
The recon slowly stopped by a wooden bridge.
"Sorry, guys, but you'll have to walk across this," the driver said. "Just go down the path. You can't miss the headquarters."
"Okay, thanks a lot."
They slowly stepped across the bridge.
"Damn, man, this thing feels like it'll break in a second."
"Don't rub it in," Andy said nervously.
They reached the other side.
"So, we just follow this path?" Flak asked.
"Yeah, that's what he said..."
They made slow progress down the path.
"How much longer will it take?" Andy whined.
"It's only been a few minutes," muttered Sami, getting agrivated.
"Look! There it is!"
At long last, they arrived at the side of the HeadQuarters. They slowly walked over to the front enterance.
"Wow, looks like there's nothing but woods around this place," Flak muttered.
---
"Hello! Welcome! You must be the Orange Star COs! Come in, come in!"
The waiter greeted them with much pleasure. As they walked into the lounge, greetings were exchanged.
"Andy! What's up?"
"Heya, Sonja!"
"Sensei, long time no see!"
"Has it really been that long?"
"Come, let's get you a drink!"
"Is Green Earth already here?"
"Yes, they're waiting in there."
The door opened. In came Eagle, Drake, Jess, and...
"Lash?!"
It was true. Lash had joined Green Earth.
"Is that a way of saying hello?" she said.
"Good to see ya, too," Flak said.
"Come, let's sit down," Sensei said. "We need to catch up on things!"
"How have things gone without Kanbei?" Hachi asked.
"Pretty good," Sensei said, remembering the terrible night of Kanbei's murder. "I still find it hard to believe that Blue Moon and Black Hole are... gone."
"Yeah, same here," Nell said. "I really think it's terrible of Colin and Hawke to do such things."
Flak unfolded the newspaper and began reading the main headlines. His face twisted into an expression of horror, and he gasped. Everyone looked at him.
"What the hell's with you?" Max asked.
"Erm... nothing," Flak said, folding the newspaper back up into his pocket. "Nothing at all..."
---
"Say, is it normal to walk around during the day in these woods?"
"Oh, yes. They're quite beautiful."
"I'm thinking of taking a walk."
"Actually, after dinner, we're gonna take a stroll! Wanna come along?"
"I sure as hell do!"
"Good! We're all going, actually. I was just making sure if you were gonna."
"Well, count me in."
"Awesome!"
Lash left the room and went upstairs. Jess sat down on the couch next to Sami and Sensei.
"How many rooms are there?" Sami asked.
"Plenty for everyone," Sensei said. "With around six floors, I'm sure there'll be plenty of rooms."
"Yeah, good point," Sami said, looking around. "This is a pretty nice HeadQuarter building... for a place up in the mountains."
"What does that mean?" Sonja asked, sitting down with a cup of tea.
"Erm... I don't hate it... it's just... never mind."
---
Outside, a figure stepped up to the edge of the path. He was wearing a dark trench coat, black gloves and boots, and had a black ski mask on, with holes for his eyes and his mouth. It looked like he had something under his coat...
His eyes narrowed as he saw the HQ wall. His lips turned into a strange smile. An evil smile...
Just then, the front door opened. The strange figure slowly backed off into the woods.
