Ninja Gaiden III – Kasumi's Tale

Me: Hello! This is my first fanfic, so … yeah. It's all about Kasumi coming into Ninja Gaiden! And frankly, I was really inspired by Kasumi's trailer for Razor's Edge, so yeah!Hope you like it!

After Ayane had completed her mission for the CIA (and that goddamn Irene … ugh!), she was lucky enough to receive helicopter ride back to Japan. But something else lay in store for her ...

As per usual, the helicopter was loud, boring, grey, and being stuck with Irene didn't exactly help Ayane's mood.

"How is it that every time I go out for one of your stupid missions, it's permanently raining?" asked an annoyed Ayane. Clearly bored, she began playing around with one of her kunai.

"Well, I guess you'll just have to get used to it. I mean, we might call you up again for some more work," replied a cool Irene. She wasn't fazed at all.

"Hey, can I take a quick look at your kunai?"

"No. More like, why?"

"Oh, nothing – just thinking it might be useful for the use of the CIA."

"Whatever."

Irene coolly reacted, and took the kunai. However, whilst Ayane began wiping blood off her hair … Irene sneakily put another GPS transmitter onto the kunai … a very tiny one. Just as a … you know, a joke.

She couldn't wait to see Ayane's reaction. Ayane then took back her kunai, and slid it into her holster.

"Ugh … so when's my paycheck going to come?"

"Trust me kid, the CIA isn't a part time outlet – you'll get it when you get it."

"Oh, that's great. God, I seriously need to wipe off all this stinking blood – it's making my skin go retarded."

"We don't supply free showers either, Ayane."

"Shuddup."

And then, it came. Everything burst into light, heat, and flames, and the world began tumbling into a chaotic spiral. Ayane and Irene were flung about the helicopter, and it began falling. This was not expected.

They were hit. Black figures danced around the helicopter, like mosquitoes to a light, but only deadlier – they were hacking and slashing, and even propelling ninpo powered projectiles.

The helicopter began falling out of the pitch black sky, and Irene was the first to fall out of the blazing vehicle, and into murky waters beneath.

Seconds later, the helicopter made impact to the water, with Ayane still inside. Irene, still dazed and in a mix of shock, confusion, and absolute horror, managed to realise that Ayane was either dead … or now likely captured. Knowing the girl, she wasn't the type to die in crashes. She'd be too stubborn and pissed off at the helicopter operator for that. And probably at Irene too.

Barely afloat, Irene managed to climb back onto the docks of the area. The black figures began racing towards the helicopter … probably going in and capturing Ayane.

Irene pulled out her emergency communication device, and managed to contact the CIA. She then quickly found a hiding spot in some of the dock's cargo holds – the figures likely wouldn't pursue.

Hours later, Irene climbed aboard another helicopter. Using the inbuilt communication technology, she sent out a message to Joe Hayabusa, the only other link she could find.

"Ayane has been captured."
