Squirrel Tails Chapter 2: Infiltration
The warm golden sun slowly raised from the horizon, bringing forth its warm rays of light to gently touch Makoto's bare skin, calmly wakening her from her slumber.
Makoto rubbed her eyes and yawned, before turning over to her side that was facing away from the bright sun. Gradually she began to open her eyes, seeing a blurish object in front of her. She stared at it curiously until her eyes came into full focus. Once they did she noticed two military styled boots standing a few center meters away from her nose.
Her eyes then trailed up the boots, seeing some army cargo pants and then the tight black muscle shirt, then finally her eyes came to the face, where her hazel brown eyes met with the gold and silver eyes of the beastkin who was towering over her. He wore a disgruntled look on his handsome face.
"It's about time you finally awoken." Hyousuke growled, while giving her a vicious glare.
"Gezz, we don't have to wake up at the crack of dawn you know!" Makoto snarled as she rose to her feet with returning the dark look to Hyousuke.
"Hmph! I'm surprised that Sector Seven even recruited a child in the first place..." He mumbled under his breath as he turned away from her, walking away from her.
"HAY! Who are you calling a child?!" Makoto snapped as she stormed after the soldier.
"Oh? No one... No one at all." Hyousuke smirked as he continued to walk off, ignoring the girl's rants and complaints.
After about half an hour of complaining Makoto had finally calmed down. Although she was off in her own little world as she continued to trail behind Hyousuke's steps, her thoughts going to her friends Tsubaki and Noel. 'I hope those two are okay...' She thought to herself. 'I know Noel is back at Kagura's with Kokonoe and Hibiki, but if Kagura is there as well...' Makoto tightened her fist. 'He'd better not touch MY Noel!' She told herself in a furious tone, before taking a deep breath to clam her nerves. 'But Noel aside, I hope Tsubaki is okay... last I saw her was before she went on her hunt to find Ragna. I hope she doesn't find him... I don't want to lose either of my beloved friends.'
"Hay squirrel, are you even listening?!" Hyousuke growled as he flicked a finger against Makoto's nose to grab her attention.
"Ah?! HAY! What was that for?" Makoto growled, before being dragged by Hyousuke behind a rock. "Ow...ow...ow!" Makoto whined in pain before being pulled behind the rock and her mouth covered by one of Hyousuke's hand's.
"Shhh, quiet fluffy squirrel." Hyousuke ordered in a whisper.
"FLUFFY SQUIR-" Makoto realized her mouth from Hyousuke's hand, only to be covered by it more tightly.
"Shhh! We're here!" Hyousuke quietly said as he poked his head over the rock, catching a glance of no one in sight. Just a small lake and a couple of tree's around it. Although he did spot the small tiny detail hidden away in one of the tree's branches with a few leaves covering it. "A camera... I guess we'll just take care of that." He mumbled as he grabbed out a small metal object that looked like a grenade.
Makoto then immediately spotting what Hyousuke had in his hand, she freaked out. Quickly releasing herself from his grip as she gasp. "W-what are you doing with that!" She asked in a panicked tone as she pointed at the object in Hyousuke's hand.
Hyousuke, ignoring Makoto's rants, threw the object towards the camera. Once it had landed in front of the camera, it burst out a golden powder that caused the green light on the camera to turn red as it began to spin uncontrollably.
"Come on, Makoto!" Hyousuke ordered as he jumped out and over the rock, running towards the edge of the lake.
"Hay, wait!" Makoto squawked as she bolted after him, almost ramming into him as she reached him.
"Grab my hand!" He once again ordered her as he latched his hand around her wrist as he walked to the edge of the lake.
"Hay wait!"
"Hold your breath!"
"Huh?!" Makoto was confused and was about to ask him what on earth was he doing, only to be interrupted as he jumped off the ledge, pulling her after him. She let out a gasp before hitting the water, then holding her breathe as Hyousuke swam forward, holding Makoto's hand as he did. The two beastkins swam down quiet a bit, before swimming forward.
After a few minutes of swimming Makoto was beginning to lose her breath, luckily Hyousuke finally swam her up to the surface. Once they reached the top Makoto breathed heavily, taking deep breathes in and out before complaining.
"God damn it, Hyousuke! Give me more of a warming next time!" She whined.
"Sorry, but we didn't have much time. Those things only last a few minutes or so..." Hyousuke grumbled.
"What the hell was that thing you used?" Makoto asked.
"It was a chaff grenade. It's built with tiny micro particles that goes into the technology near by and jams their systems, causing them to not function properly for a couple of minutes. Although be careful whenever you use one. If you have any electrical device of your own and need to use it, it will jam as well as long as the grenade is in a effect." Hyousuke explained to Makoto, who... didn't seem to pay that much attention.
"The thingy does what to the stuff?"
Hyousuke then proceeded to faceplam himself as he mumbled, "Idiot!"
"So anyways... where are we?" She asked as she looked around, she knew for sure if their were in the forest still they'd be surrounded by trees, but all she could see was a metal enclosed doom shape around them, with a near by dock several meters in front of them.
"We're in Sector Seven's underground loading docks." He replied, "This the way we're going to sneak into the base."
"Oh, so that's why do dragged me and got me so wet~" Makoto teased in a suggestive tone, which made Hyousuke give her a look cross between disgusted and pissed off.
"Seriously, don't ever joke like that again!" He grumbled before swimming towards the loading dock.
"Aww, come on. I was trying to lighten the mood!" Makoto mumbled back, before swimming after him.
Once the two reached the edge of the metal platform, Hyousuke stopped. Poking head up, spotting a single guard near by on his patrol. Hyousuke was about to quietly climb up onto the platform, until Makoto accidentally slammed into him as she swam up to him.
"Jesus Makoto!" Hyousuke quietly growled.
"S-sorry!" Makoto whispered back.
Hyousuke then quietly climbed up while the guard was walking in the opposite direction of them, he then reached a hand for Makoto to grab on. She latched a hand onto his, allowing him to pull her up. Both of the beastkins then hid behind one of the creates, poking their heads out from behind it as they saw the guard far off into the distance.
They both then quickly and as quietly as they could, crept to the next shipping create. Thankfully not being spotted by the guard who had just turned around.
They then crept around the container, opposite side of the guard as they headed towards the elevator. "Almost there!" Hyousuke quietly chimed, only to see the elevator activate. "Crap, Makoto hide!" He whispered as he ran behind a yellow forklift that was very close to the elevator. While Makoto managed to squeeze herself under a create that had a wooden pallet holding up off the ground.
After a minute or so, the elevator door open as another gaurd dressed in a grey uniform came out. Looking left then right, before he began to walk. Walking straight past Makoto and down along the else of creates and storage containers.
Once Hyousuke saw that the coast was clear he jumped out from behind the forklift, heading towards the elevator. "Come Makoto, this might be our-"
"I'm stuck.." Makoto whined, causing Hyousuke to sigh as he ran back for her. Pulling her by the arm as he helped her wriggle free of the tight space. " Thanks." Makoto said as she was freed.
"No problem!" Hyousuke replied as the two ran forward, heading to the elavator. Hitting the button quickly to open the door then hitting it once more once they were inside. Hyousuke then pressed the level 1 button, before the elavator began to move upwards, taking them up to where their goals were located.
