I originally had all this typed up on my laptop, but then it got ERASED, so sorry if there are some plot holes, I can't quite remember all the stuff I wrote down.
Enjoy-ness

Chapter Two: Vault A009Z
Dragonfire Headquarters; Dorm Room 1947; 19:00:30 hours
Musa barely suppressed a snort of disgust as she briefed the team on this so called 'special mission'. So much for getting her hopes up for an actually exciting op. This was a dud, a routine mission she'd performed hundreds of times. She didn't even bother to mask the annoyance at Father in her voice
Redfountain Headquarters; South Gate Garage Exit; 19:05:06 hours
Five dark, sleek shapes whooshed out of the exit in a single file line, quickly panning out into a tight horizontal 'V'. In unison, they made a sharp right turn, all moving precisely at the same moment.
Redfountain Headquarters; South Gate Security Tower; 19:05:30 hours
Security Guard Joele Reodem leaned back in his chair, gazing sleepily at the giant T.V moniters that lined the screen. Everything was so still; none of the teams seemed to be out. He languidly reached for his cup of coffee. Suddenly, he caught a movement in the corner of his eye. Turning, he watched in astonishment as a blur moved right through the South Gates on the huge plasma screen.
As Reodem shone his flashlight on the gargantuan twin gates of titanium alloy, his mouth fell open in a silent gape of astonishment and horror. A neat hole had been punched directly through the gates. I-impossible! he thought. Nothing can pierce these gates! And yet…the proof sat right in front of him. The first thing he had learned in training was that the gates were invincible; it was just his job to prevent people from climbing over it. Apparently, the instructors needed a new handbook.
Wirthron Forest; Headed South East; 19:06:10 hours
Riven smirked under his heavy-duty diamond enforced helmet, giving his engine a little rev in exhilaration.
God, this machine was beautiful. He and his elite team of agents had just been given the most technologically advanced bikes ever created. They actually hovered above the ground, using a system of anti-atom technology that was still unknown to most of the world.
One of his agents, Timmy, who'd helped with the building of the bikes, had christened them levabikes, in honor of their amazing ability to almost fly.
(A/N: Here comes the description of the bikes; if you don't want to read it, skip to the next paragraph :) )The levabikes were all jet-black in color, shaped for the most part like a motorcycle, but sleeker in build and lighter in weight. They helmets and suits that came with them were a matching black. Equipped with nerve sensors in the hands and backbone of the suit and the forehead of the helmet, the levabike could respond to extreme emotions and thoughts.
Riven, Sky, Brandon, Timmy and Helias' helmets were also interconnected through a wireless microphone system sensitive enough that Riven could hear his team's breathing.
As the gnarled trees of Wirthron Forest whizzed by, Riven grinned at the memory of crunching through the South Gates. So much for invincible, Chief.
"Hey Tim-ster, how fast can these babies go?" he asked from the head of the formation, his low rumble of a voice coolly excited.
"Approximately 450 miles per hour, Riven. But…there's a neat little gizmo that can add a tidy 100 on if we're in real trouble and…"
Riven could practically hear Timmy's patented lecture face. He laughed. Tonight was a night to celebrate. They had a too easy mission and brand new bikes that would draw the envy of the whole Redfountain organization…
S.P.A.R.X Government Headquarters; North Wall; Scene of Op. 20980; 19:30:14 hours
Musa tightened the belt of gadgets around her waist. Damnit. Couldn't they manage to make a size small? Beside her, Bloom snapped her night vision goggles into place, and Flora pulled on her special suction-cupped boots. The tiny speakers in their ears crackled to life.
"Alpha, do you read me, Alpha? This is Delta, this is Delta."
"Delta, I read you. Report." Musa said into the microphone built into her cuff. These all black standard spandex horror suits at least had some use.
"I'm here with Gamma, at the South Wall. There seems to be no guards here at the moment, Captain. We can easily rappel inside." Stella, also known as Delta, replied on the other end.
"Alright then, Delta. Rendezvous point, East hallway, Eraklyon Wing. !9:25 hours. Be there."
"Oh, and Muse?" asked Stella, dropping the business tone.
"Hm?"
"Where's that little button to turn the rappels on?"
"The handle, Stell. It's the big red button on the back that says 'on'"
They could hear Tecna snort before hastily turning it into a hacking cough.
"Don't hurt yourself now, Tec." said Flora amusedly.
"Signing off."
S.P.A.R.X Government Headquarters; East Hallway; Eraklyon Wing; 19:30:45 hours
Riven walked leisurely through the halls, occasionally passing security guards on duty. Gaining access had been simple. They'd just flashed their Redfountain badges, and the outside guard had been falling all over himself to let them in. All they had to do tonight was guard Vault A009Z.
He didn't know what the hell could be in there that could need the protection of his special team, but it must be something very friggin' important.
S.P.A.R.X Government Headquarters; East Hallway; Eraklyon Wing; 19:34:49 hours
They melted into the shadows of the darkened hallway. No guards. Huh. How interesting. Not even any bright light.
Musa wondered if Father could've gotten the vault number wrong. Vault A009Z didn't look all that important. It was a standard vault, stainless steel with four different padlocks, set in an alcove deep in the wall.
"Alpha, this is Beta, this is Beta. There are five guards coming this way, five guards. Be wary."
"Sure thing, Flo."
Flora was just out of Musa's line of vision, playing look-out on the other side of the wall.
"Team, mold the suits into S.P.A.R.X guard uniforms." Musa ordered.
"Ew, but they're so-"
"Stell, just do it." Bloom spoke up, sounding a bit exasperated.
"Oh, so you are here, B. Wondering when you were gonna speak up." Stella teased. "Just coz you actually spoke, I'll do it."
Musa heard Flora and Tecna chuckle softly, and grinned in spite of her self. It was always amusing to see just what Stella would do to get Bloom to be social.
"Ok, tease time over, change!"
Vault A009Z needed emptying.
S.P.A.R.X Government Headquarters; East Hallway; Eraklyon Wing; 19: 35: 17 hours
Riven's eyebrows rose as he saw the group of female guards clustered around Vault A009Z……
A/N: A bit boring. Just a filler chapter where I let everyone have an appearance before the really interesting stuff happens. Stay tuned.
