"They...could be...chasing after us...right now." Rick said groggily while holding onto Ryker's shoulder. "We need a plan of escape." the icy agent said as they stopped at a dead end with a single window too small for them to break through and considering the view outside, their too high up to destroy the wall and jump out.
"Crap. Now what?" Leo asked. It's then they heard a sound in the distance, the Quinjet. "That's our ticket out." Konsuke said as he looked out of the one window. "But we need to buy ourselves some time."
"Their around the corner to a dead end." Imu said as the other Hebijo elites (excluding Miyabi) chased after the S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees. They turned around a corner and were immediately greeted with a fireball flying towards them. "Get back!" Imu stopped the others as the ball of fire exploded upon contact with the wall near them. Smoke went everywhere for a moment, Imu checked again, seeing another fireball came right at her. And another one, another one, it was non-stop. "Such a tight defense." She grimaced.
Where the males were, an ice wall with the Arctic Shield in the middle with it's bearer holding the shield behind, under him the floorboards under his feet were covered in ice. Leo standing up top with the Tri-blade Dragon Rapier at both of his hands, firing a constant barrage of burning spheres. "Keep it up, we have to hold them off." Konsuke said while suppressing fire with his pistol.
The Hebijo elites kept their back against the wall as ball of flames fly past them and energy bullets bouncing off before dispersing.
"How much longer do we have to do this?!" Leo yelled through the whistle of flames blasting out of his rapier. "The barrier isn't going to hold long." the icy agent said. "Keep it up." He repeated while ducking from shurikens, kunais and bullet fire, courtesy of the twins.
The situation didn't look good, Leo was getting exhausted since the constant firing of fireballs was taking a chunk of his energy and the ice wall was falling apart bit by bit.
"Secret Ninja Art," Ryōbi shoots at the wall which didn't hit but summoned spiked mines floating above the ground, "Ricochet Prelude!" she shot at the mines and it exploded, bringing the wall down and the three fighting agents were knocked back from the blast. "Bloody hell. If we weren't in a pickle right now, I would've said that was cool." Leo mused to himself while getting up from the floorboards. "Of course you would." his elemental opposite teammate said.
"So this is what a Shinobi is capable of." Konsuke said to himself while applying pressure to the bleeding wound on his left arm. The Elites closed in slowly because they were wary of another flash bang trick like before and any other distractions. "That was only a small portion of what we're capable of." the brunette shinobi said.
"Your going to pay for what you did to Miyabi." Imu snarled at the metallic haired male. He look back at his teammates from the corner of his eyes, then back in front.
"Oh yeah? Well you haven't seen what a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent can do." as he said that before ducking down, confusing the shinobis. Then, purple energy projectiles rained on the Elites with no warning. "What the? I'm...feeling tired." Ryōbi bent down a bit, she felt like her strength was fading. "Moouu~ It only stung a little~" Ryōna said. The female shinobis look over the male in front and saw that the Qing Dynasty styled one, Ku Ro, with his Anti-Matter SMGs was pointed at them. "Did I miss anything?" he said rhetorically and dropping his arms down, his face pale as a sheet of paper and sweating bullets.
"Now!" Konsuke yelled while running towards the others. "Gotcha!" Leo responded with his gauntlet roaring flames. He winds up his arm and punched the wall, and it exploded with smoke quickly filling the room and debris flew everywhere. The shinobis were coughing out the smoke in their throats and had their eyes closed. As the smoke cleared up, they were gone, and a large hole where the wall was.
Imu slowly walked towards the wreckage, but there was no sign of them anywhere. She gritted her teeth in frustration. "Let's head back for Miyabi." the honey blond says while walking back where they came from. "Okay..." Murasaki agreed quietly like her usual self. "And I thought we had them." Ryōbi cursed to herself. "Are you angry?~ You can take out your anger on me~" her twin blond pleaded. "God damnit."
Unknown to them, a camoflauged Quinjet was hovering a few feet below the hole in the wall. It then slowly revs up the silent flight turbines and it went up high into the clouds before the thrusters blasted it off.
Quinjet
Ryker was flying the aircraft while Konsuke was wrapping his arm with bandages. Leo was in between Ku Ro and Rick, who were strapped in med blankets with their injuries being treated.
"Well, Sensei did say no casualties, and we're still alive." Leo tried to lighten up the mood. "Yeah, I guess." the shield bearer agreed. "But those shinobis were something else." the metallic haired male says before the blonde of the team woke up. "They were definitely full of 'life', ya know what I'm saying?" he said weakly. "Bían Taí (Pervert)." the Chinese male muttered with a deadpan look. "Hey!"
Hebijo
The four shinobis were checking up on their leader, Miyabi in the medical room. "She's coming to." Imu informed the others who were waiting around in the room, they quickly went up to their leader who was slowly lifting up her eyelids.
"Wha-what happened?" she asked. "We chased them down but they put up a fight before they escaped." Ryōbi explained. The tomboy kept her cool. "I see." she simply said.
"How are your injuries, Miyabi?" the purple haired woman, Suzune entered the room without her students noticing, but they're used to it. "Fine, Suzune Sensei." she answered formally. "As for apprehending the intruders, I am dissapointed yet impressed, since no mere human or seasoned shinobi can escape Hebijo so easily."
"If only we knew who they work for." Imu gripped her knuckles tightly. "Will this help?~" Ryōna held up a torn black fabric that had the S.H.I.E.L.D. symbol on it. "What the? How did you..." the honey blonde asks but was interrupted. "I think...I've seen that...somewhere." Murasaki says quietly.
"Let me see that." Ryōbi asked. "You'll have to pry it out of my hands to do that~ Break them, snap them, don't hold back~ " she taunted her twin sister, who did just that.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier
The two injured trainees woke up to see that they were facing a white panel ceiling with LED light panels illuminating the room. Each lifted their upper bodies up from the pillows of their own beds to view the room their in. There were a number of beds that are currently empty, a line of cabinets on the wall, and medical equipment everywhere. "When did we got back, Rick?" Ku Ro asked the blonde, who simply shrugs.
The door opens to reveal their instructor, Minamoto Yoshitsune. "Ah, your both up." his two students nodded. "We're sorry, Minamoto Sensei. We failed our mission, and we were carelessly injured." the second year brunette said with his head bowed down a bit in shame. "It's fine. What matters is that you guys made it back." he says with a little laughter escaped from his mouth, which confused the two.
"This mission wasn't a total failure though." both looked confused, he pulls out a scroll from behind him. "Leonardo was able to grab a scroll and hid it in his utility belt." and now their just absolutely shocked. "No way." Rick was just as speechless as Ku Ro was. "That's right. Mission Complete." the instructor said proudly.
"This calls for a party...!" Rick tried to jump out of his bed but he cringed at the pain his nervous system was feeling. "I highly illadvise that since both of you are still injured. Get some rest." Yoshitsune said and walks out of the room. "Oh come on! The hype will be over!" the blonde yelled before the automatic door closed before he finished his sentence for his instructor to hear.
A few days later
Ku Ro and Rick were getting better and rested well. They already left the medical bay and joined the rest of the team in the Briefing Room with their instructor. "So what does the scroll say?" Konsuke asks the demonic looking samurai.
"It appears to be a map of another school for shinobis." this new information they received peaked their interest. "Really?!" Leo bent forward to get a closer look at the map, Yoshitsune pulled the scroll closer to him till a screen on the table was under it. A projector lights up and the image of the map was shown on the screen.
"This is the map of a school named Hanzo National Academy. Look at the landscapes." He paused for a moment for the agents to analyze it. Then the image transits to a part of Asakusa in Japan. "The location of the school has been built over by the current Hanzo National Academy." he then killed the projector. "I believe that this hidden school is in the grounds of the campus. Assuming it's still there considering how old the scroll dates back the school." Yoshitsune wrapped up the scroll.
Rick got out of his seat and looked at the side of the map, there were old Japanese kanjis on it. It was a bit faded, but still readable. " 'Nest of the light shinobis'." he read aloud the texts. "So...what? It's a good versus evil kinda thing that went down?" Leo asked. "If the school exists today, it means their fight is still on going." Konsuke had his arms crossed at the thought of a secret war that went on for centuries.
"Hmm..." Yoshitsune closed his eyes and tried to work out a long term plan for them. To enter the shinobi world and train amongst them. Not only they can learn about this secret society that blends in with the world of today but it'll also help his students become stronger in more ways S.H.I.E.L.D. can ever teach them.
"Sensei?" the voice of his students snapped him out of thought. He spaced out for a bit before going along with his idea. "Everyone! Your next mission, join Hanzo's shinobi school and train in the arts of shinobi." his statement made the others not respond for a moment before, "What?!"
The next day
On one of the ferry that was on course to Asakusa, all five of the S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees hung out at the dock of the boat in their normal clothes.
Rickardo had a white blue striped baseball shirt and blue trousers and black running shoes, the shirt had 'New York 25' in front and 'Storm 25' at the back. Ryker wore a camo dark green polo tee and black jeans with dark brown shoes. Leo had a black T-shirt with a red 'Explosion!' with a mushroom cloud on it, torn jeans and black shoes with orange soles. Ku Ro had a white button up shirt with a black vest over it, a pair of grey jeans and purple slacks. Finally, Konsuke with an unzipped indigo hoodie with a white T-shirt with a red sniper crosshair underneath, greyish brown pants and training sneakers.
(If anyone dislikes my fashion sense, I'm terribly sorry.)
"I don't get it. Why can't we take the Quinjet and land it in the forest or something?" the British male asks. "There's too much risk if we leave it there. Who knows how long we'll be here." the metallic haired senior answers. "We're nearly at the docks." Rick informs them as the ferry slows down along the riverside.
They went for their weapons, which are stored in cases and bags, the larger ones like the Rapier and the Shield were wrapped in cloth. Oddly, no one around suspected them, expect that they were just staring at them. "I feel like people think we're hauling cosplay props." Ryker deadpans. "It's better that way." Rick responds.
Hanzo National Academy
Inside one of the abandoned building blocks on the school grounds, held a secret classroom for shinobis to train and hone their skills in ninja arts. An adult male with silver hair, wearing an all black suit was in the classroom with 10 students, all females. They wore the school's uniform, consists of a white button-up shirt, a dark blue tie and skirt, brown slacks with white socks. "All right, roll call is done. Now for the lesson today." the teacher puts down the clipboard he was holding.
"Maaaan, another lesson. The boredom is going to kill me." a blonde girl groans, she had blue ribbons tied on each side of her head, her shirt wasn't fully buttoned up, showing her ample bust. "Katsuragi-san, please pay attention to the lesson like the others." a black long haired girl with blue eyes said, who sat formally on her legs. "But Ikaruga, I can feel myself blacking out any minute." the girl named Katsuragi replies to the brunette, Ikaruga with a non-energetic tone.
"Katsu-nee will always be like that, won't she?" said another brunette with beautiful brown eyes, her hair tied to a ponytail held with a large thin white ribbon, a red scarf worn around her neck. "She's eternally lazy." chimed a white twin tail girl with red eyes (or eye, visually speaking) and an eye patch on her right. Her tails were held with shuriken bands. "Because she's our Katsu-nee." came a pink haired girl with pigtails, she had ribbons tied on her pigtails and her front bangs, her eyes were pink with four leaf flowers on each iris.
"Will you be able to catch up, freshmen?" the teacher asks another group of 5 girls. One had long black fluffy hair and red eyes, red ribbons tied similarly to Katsuragi. A sleepy looking blue short haired one with two cowlicks and matching eyes, a orange short haired one with a bun tied with a thin white ribbon and brown eyes, a brown ponytail brunette with blue eyes. And finally, a blonde with her hair behind her split into two tails with black ribbons tied to it, red eye on her right and purple on her left with mechanical looking linings, a pair of mechanical cat ears and her limb joints had a mannequin like appearance.
"Yes, Kiriya Sensei." Ayame, Seimei, Fuuma, Hijikata and Muramasa answer the teacher now known as Kiriya. "Alright then, open your books to..."
Outside the premises of the school
The S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees made their way to the entrance of the school. It was empty due to class in session so no bystanders saw them. "Holy hell. How are we suppose to find this secret classroom in such a big campus?" Rick asks while mixing in a bit of English. "They might have a hidden entrance or something." Leo says with excitement. "I still doubt a school for shinobis would be inside another school the world is aware of." Ryker says.
"It's called hidden in plain sight. Kunoichis, female shinobis, do instead of the male variants." the blonde responds, the others are looking at him. "Yes, I research history. So?" he says with his hands on his hips. "Let's just go and find it." Konsuke says and walks through the school gates, the others follow suit.
Team Hanzo
"...and so, this is how..." Kiriya was teaching the class how harnessing chi is essential for ninja arts, then a lantern on the wall starts flashing red, loud alarms that sounded like war horns roars throughout the room. A few were panicking while the rest stayed calm. "What's with...the alarms?" Seimei says groggily while rubbing her eyes. "The intruder alarm? Is someone going to attack the school?" Hijikata asks. "Let them come! I'll gladly take them on!" Fuuma punches her palm with a fired up expression.
"What is it, Kiriya Sensei?!" Ikaruga yells through the alarm so her teacher can hear her. He quickly turns off the alarms, then pulls out a periscope from the ceiling and peers through it.
"How is it, Sensei?" Asuka asks her teacher. "It appears to be a group of males. Their wearing normal clothes, they could be touring the school and came to look at the old building." he answers before folding the handles on the periscope and it returns into the ceiling on it's own. "They're boys? Are they cute or handsome? Let me see!" Katsuragi springs out but was pulled back by Ikaruga with a disappointed look.
"Boys?" Hibari said curiously. "They better not get their hands on Hibari." Yagyuu says with a cold tone. "Muramasa will protect Hibari too!" the smaller blonde says while standing beside Hibari. "Will they be able to get in, Kiriya Sensei?" Ayame asks. "Unless their shinobis, I highly doubt that they even know..." he was then interrupted when a part of the wall flips around and three of the males, Leo, Rickardo and Ryker fell on top of each other.
"Ha! I told you there's a secret entrance!" Leo snaps at the white haired male. "Yeah yeah, that's great. Now get off of me!" he yells back. "You guys...are crushing...my...everything..." Rick groans with his face on the floor boards and the wrapped shield on top of him. Then the seniors, Konsuke and Ku Ro lands on their feet as they entered the classroom.
"Um...juniors." the Chinese male called out his underclassmen. "We're not alone." the metallic haired male said as the shinobis stood in front of them. 'God help us if we're going to die.'
