"Moonlight Blades:
Chapter One;
Going Down,... Hard"

We call ourselves "The Moonlight Blades."

Hi! You're probably wondering who I am, what's happening, and why, so here's your answer. My name is Kai Hiwatari, and right now, my friends; Ray, Max, Tyson, Lee, Tala, and Brian are stealing prized treasures from my grandfather, who disowned me the day I was born. There's the answer to your questions.

You see, we're all going on eighteen, but because I was disowned, I don't have the insurance I need to head up to college, that, and the fact I hate him. I was disowned, same as my cousin, and Brian, and no one knows it, but us, but he still acted as if we were still his, and sent us to a school that ruined our childhood, then, he left us to starve, and didn't even give us a penny.

Now, here are the operations. Me, I'm the guy who heads into vaults, and museums to steal said treasures, and bargaining with our 'clients.' They call me the "Night Phoenix," ha! I've been getting away with this for almost six years. This time it was a solid gold staff, embedded with diamonds.

Tala pilots the helicopter, for my entry, and helps operate the com link. On that, we call him "Talon." We still wonder how they couldn't figure it out.

Brian drives the van, for my get-away, and, like Tala, helps operate the com link. On that, we call him "Grey." You should know why.

Lee is the doctor, back at base. If anything happens, he'll be informed, head to base, and get prepared for whatever the emergency is. We call him "Eb Lion," on the com link,... short for ebony.

Ray, either helps me on the job, but only for multiple targets. But, if not, he's in the van, for emergency medical purposes. We call him "White Tiger."

Max, who we call "Yellow Serpent," gets the gear together for both vehicles. For medical, and operational supplies.

Tyson gives me directions to the target, and helps with get away plans, only by using his computer. We call him "Elec Dragon."

"You all set, Phoenix?" Tala asked. I nodded.

I was wearing black leather, mainly. The black mask, I was wearing covered my hole face; flame patterns on the neckline up to the rim of my lower lip, and over my eyes were like shades, orangish yellow. Used for two reasons; to help scope out the museum, you know, with guards, and where the object is, and the other, so that way they can't use my eye pattern to identify me. We weren't stupid.

With me, I had, my flame glider, for high up entry, and escape. A password decoder, a security blocker, to shut down the cameras, and alarms, and, in case of emergencies, knockout pellets, and a taser (or whatever they call that gun-thing that shocks you).

I jumped out out of the copter, and opened the glider, using the wind to get to the museum, where the staff was at.

--

"Talon calling Night Phoenix. How was the landing?" He asked with a somewhat sneer tone.

"Good,... as usual." I answered. "Elec Dragon, come in. How much farther until the target?" I asked.

"You're above the Eastern Corridor, so you're not far. How's it look on the inside?" He asked.

I used the tech embedded into my mask, and it showed a hallway,... no guards. "It's clear! I'm going in!" I jumped through a window, that I easily moved. "I'm in! Which way?"

"Quickest way is to your next left, but it's guarded. There should be a power box near you, get blocking!" Elec said.

I got out the security blocker, and went up to the power box, and opened it. The blocker beaped a bit, when I put it up to the box, but then, it stopped. "Success! Jam the signal from the radios."

"Way ahead of you!" Elec Dragon said. I waited a few seconds before he called back. "All set!"

With that, I threw knockout pellets down the hall, knocking out the guards. I ran through, another advantage of my mask, it's part gas mask. I got to the door, and it was password locked. "Elec, what's behind the door?"

"Nothing, but deactivated cameras, and lasers." He answered, proudly.

I got out the password decoder, and got the door open. Right there was what we came for. I ran up to it, grabbed it, and climbed one of the marble columns. Another advantage of my suit is that I don't need equipment to climb out.

I jumped out of the museum, and opened my glider. "Grey, we're home free!" I proclaimed.

"Alright, then get on over here, and let's head back home." He said.

"Rodger that!" I said. Just then, four gaping holes appeared on the left wing of my glider. "Guys, I've got a problem! The left flank of my glider's been shot through, and I'm loosing altitude, rather quickly!" I yelled.

"Phoenix, remember all those falling practices?" Yellow Serpent asked.

"Yeah."

"Time to put 'em in use." White Tiger said.

I sighed. I closed my glider, and got prepared for a crash landing.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

The landing was brutal, but there was little shock, and little pain. "Phoenix? Phoenix, come in! This is Talon! Can you read me?" I groaned, but responded.

"Yeah, Talon. I can read you." I said, not getting up from the position I was in.

"That's a relief." I heard Elec saying.

"You okay?" I heard Tiger ask.

"Yeah,..." I said, starting to get up. "I think...Aah!" I screamed, feeling crushing pain out of my right ribs, and forearm. "Guys, I think something's broken."

"Can you walk?" Serpant asked.

"Barely."

"Stay calm! Talon, Elec, get back to base!" Tiger called.

"Pulling out!" Talon said.

"Phoenix! Where are you?" Serpent asked.

"Central park."

"Okay. Meet us at the end of Carder Avenue."

"Alright!" I began to run as fast as I could.

I got half way through the park, but stopped, and collapsed, at the feeling of something bursting into the lower left area of my back. I looked back, to see someone wearing a bullet proof vest, and a cap that read FBI. 'Oh crap!' I thought.

I got up as quickly as I could, and ran. Bad idea. Because as soon as I did, I got shot in my right shoulder blade. I ran quicker, and was able to escape to the trees. "Guys! I've been hit! Twice!"

"Where are you?" Grey asked.

"Heading to the Eastern end of Callously Boulevard."

"We're near you. Hang tight, Phoenix!" Serpent said.

"I'll try." I said. I continued to run, until I saw the van; black, and no license plate. I saw Tiger open the door, and I hoped in, face to the floor.

xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

"Drive!" I yelled. Ray shut the door, and Brian moved us, quickly.

"Activating Teenage Drive Camouflage Mode." Max said. The van turned white with a pizzeria logo on it, and showed a license plate, after which, he got up from his seat. Brian put on a cap that went with the logo, and Ray, and Max, crowded me. "You okay?" Max asked.

"I've been better." I groaned out. Ray unzipped my jacket, and took it off, not all that carefully, if I may add. I let out a light scream.

"Sorry!" He said, as Max took my mask off.

"Eb Lion calling White Tiger. Come in!" I heard out of Ray's com link.

"Kinda busy, Lion." Ray told his older brother.

"What's happening?"

"Phoenix is down! Two gunshot wounds, and some broken bones."

"Did you check his head?"

Ray paused, and slid his hand towards the back of my head. I screamed again. Ray pulled up his hand, and stared at it. Wait for it. "It looks like a concussion."

"Alright! How long until you get home, Grey?"

"About another hour."

I groaned, loudly, as I felt my eyelids begin to hang over. "Phoenix won't be able to stay conscious for another hour." Max told Lee.

"Tiger, cover up the flesh wounds, and ice the broken ones!"

"Way ahead of you, bro." Ray got some gauze, and wrapped them around my head, shoulder, and lower back. He tightened it a bit too much, though. How did I know? I was the one screaming about it. "Hang in there, Kai!" Ray told me, getting ice packs on my forearm, and ribs. I shuddered at the sudden coolness.

"We're reaching the thruway." Brian said. Max went back to the front seat.

"Activating Spring Travel Camouflage Mode." I already knew that the van was turning light blue, and a new license plate, by that point, Brian took the cap off.

He headed into the E-Z Pass section, and we were officially on the thruway, but going slower than usual. "Brian." I muttered out. Brian adjusted his mirror, so he could see me in the back. He shuddered. I guess it wasn't even close to easy, to look at. "Lee would want us there as soon as possible, and going slower isn't going to get us there." I told him.

"I know, but in your condition, I don't wanna over due it, ya know?" Brian said.

"I know, but it won't get better by getting slower. Besides, there are guys in priesses passing us." I said. He laughed.

"You sure?" He asked. I nodded. "Alright." With that, his foot went down on the gas pedal, and we sped up.

--

We arrived at the house we lived in. Since we stay bound together, we have a big house. Almost a mansion.

We drove along the driveway, to the garage, which was in back, connected to the main part of our house. When the door opened, I was blinded by an impact of light, but it cleared up.

Right in the doorway of the van was Lee, and right behind him, holding a gernie to the spot, was Tyson, and Tala. "Oh, god!" Tyson said, looking at me, but I only rolled my eyes.

"Ray, help me with him." Lee told him. They lifted me up, and put me on the gernie. As I groaned, they began to move me back into the house.

"You'll be all right." I heard Brian say. But that was the last thing I heard, for I could no longer keep my eyes opened.

I hope you liked it! Plz R&R.
