Grey Wolf and Bullseye
Author: Yay, first chapter up. Grey, Bullseye, Iron Claw & Estrella are mine. All other characters, weapons, etc... belong to Hasbro. My character's weapons kinda belong to them too because they're copies of Spirit & Long Range's weapons. Enjoy, r&r.
Snake Eyes brought his ninja bike to a stop and looked off into the distance. A howl echoed in the air. Even for being in the deserts of Arizona, that was odd because not even coyotes traveled alone very often. But it was no coyote howl, he realized, but that of a wolf; that was even stranger. A flicker of silver caught his attention. Long Range was leaning againest the wall beside the garage staring in the direction of the howling. The ninja watched him carefully and the other man met his gaze. Snake Eyes walked his bike into the garage where he was met by Komakura and Jynx.
Billy the falcon screeched as Long Range walked past. "Not hunting amigo. Just target practice out back." he told the bird. He took flight and headed off to Spirit. The marksman heard howling again just as he had a moment ago. "That's a wolf howling." he said.
"Hey Long Range, give me hand here." Hi-Tech said. The older man walked inside to go see what the resident electronic wizard needed. "Hold this up for a second." he said, tapping the back portion of the ninja bike's body. Long Range glanced over at Jynx, Snake Eyes and Komakura.
"What'd you do amigo?" he asked. Komakura pulled out an arrow.
"Someone got a hold of Spirit's bow and used the bike for target practice." Jynx muttered. There was a loud bark and Hi-Tech jumped almost ten feet into the air.
"What's gotten into you?" Duke asked as he appeared in the doorway that lead into the main building. Everyone looked up as three figures appeared in the entry to the garage.
"The arrow is mine." a voice said.
"Go get the rest of the team." Duke told Snake Eyes.
One of the figures was a young woman. The other was a young man who was a bit older. And the last was a very large wolf. The man clicked his tongue towards the wolf, which rushed forward and snatched the arrow from Komakura. "Sit Iron Claw." the young woman said. Scarlett, Heavy Duty, Tunnel Rat and Spirit all appeared behind Duke. Billy screeched and puffed his feathers angerly.
"Stay calm my friend." Spirit said. The wolf snarled through the arrow that it still held as the young man set his hand on it's neck to calm it.
"Who are you?" Tunnel Rat asked.
"Cobra destroyed my people's homes. I want to make sure it doesn't happen again." he said. Iron Claw whined.
"Easy boy." the woman told it.
"Uh hu. Still doesn't tell us much." Heavy Duty said. They all stepped into the light of the garage. The young man was very dark, with black hair and blue eyes. Below his eyes, he wore two grey streaks. He was about average height, well built and probably in his mid-twentys. The young woman was a little lighter with sandy brown hair and gold-brown eyes. She came up to his shoulder, mediumly built and in her early twentys. The wolf in between them was standing up though the top of it's ears came halfway up the young woman's chest and was jet black with dark brown eyes.
"My name is Grey Wolf." the young man told them, looking at Spirit.
"This is Iron Claw. I'm Bullseye." she said, scratching the over-sized wolf's ears. Duke motioned them into the main room.
"When you say Cobra destroyed your people's homes, what do you mean?" Jynx asked him.
"My people would not fall to Cobra's threats." Grey Wolf said.
"His family and others lived on a reservation. Cobra came in and attempted to run them off, claiming they were after some sort of stone, but they wouldn't leave. They trashed everything they had. I meet Grey and Iron Claw afterwards and he told me what happened. I said I'd help him." Bullseye told them.
"Sounds like a power stone Duke." Hi-Tech muttered. Iron Claw nuzzled up to Grey's side. The young indian man petted him.
"What happened to your family?" Scarlett asked.
"A woman working for Cobra killed them." he said. Bullseye watched him as he continued to pet the wolf.
"Sounds like the Baroness." Jynx said. Snake Eyes set a hand on her shoulder. The computer beeped and Hi-Tech looked at it.
"We've got a communication from.. Cobra!" he half shouted. Everyone turned to the screen.
"Well, hello Duke."
"Baroness." Scarlett hissed.
Grey Wolf, Iron Claw and Bullseye came up to the screen. "You murdered my family." he said. Iron Claw snarled at her, hackles raised. Baroness' eyes flickered to Bullseye.
"Recruiting I see. Why not get someone a bit more skilled Duke. Unless this little girl is all you could find, other than the boy and his wolf." she said.
Her eyes narrowed and she growled, "Baroness, you will find out why people don't cross me. And you and the rest of Cobra won't like the consequences when you do." The Baroness threw her head back and laughed evilly. Iron Claw barked at her. The screen went black.
Hi-Tech typed and said, "She jammed our tracking signal Duke." Bullseye put her back to the screen, staring Grey Wolf in the eye.
"You still want to avenge what happened to your people?" she asked. He nodded. She nodded to the rest of the team. Iron Claw tilted his head and nipped at her glove. Grey looked at them.
"The Baroness seems to believe that you've recruited us. It would be wrong to let her believe something that isn't true." he said. Iron Claw snarled and Tunnel Rat slipped away.
"I don't see why we couldn't keep you three on the team if you wanted to stay." Duke said. They nodded and Iron Claw barked his approval.
Half an hour later, Bullseye, Grey Wolf and Iron Claw were on the team. "We'll put you guys in gear in the morning and give you the grand tour. We'll fit you for gauntlets and everything afterwards." Duke told them.
"Right now what they need are places to sleep." Komakura said. Both of them were steadily dozing off, but the wolf was still awake.
"We could put them in a couple of spare rooms." Scarlett said. Duke nodded as Iron Claw gave Bullseye's jacket a tug.
"What?" she muttered. He nipped her hand and went over to Grey Wolf. The black wolf closed his teeth around his bow and pulled it slowly away from his master. Grey shook his head and looked down the wolf.
"We're gonna put you two in seperate rooms. He can stay with one of you." Duke said.
"Stay with Bullseye. This is a strange place, keep her safe." Grey Wolf whispered to Iron Claw, who growled back.
"When you guys get back, I need to talk to everybody." Hi-Tech said.
Scarlett and Spirit returned a few minutes later. "Yo, Spirit what's up wit' those two and the w'lf?" Tunnel Rat asked.
"He is their friend. As Billy is mine." Spirit said.
"A really big friend." he muttered.
"Scared of the big bad wolf T-Rat?" Heavy Duty asked.
He looked over his shoulder and said, "Had a not nice meetin' with a pack of 'em at one point and time."
"Before you joined the team?" Jynx asked.
"Long b'fore that." he said. A sharp whistle cut through the room. Snake Eyes turned his head.
"What was that for amigo?" Long Range asked.
Hi-Tech turned to the screen and said, "When I scanned their DNA, I found that they both looked kinda familiar. So I got to looking and found out that they are each related to another member on the team."
"I know already that Grey Wolf's DNA is similar to my own. He is my sister's child." Spirit told him.
"It figures." Jynx agreed.
"That clears that up," he said, "But there's still the matter of Bullseye." They all watched as a picture of her came on screen. "I went through the military's files on every-one that's come into the U.S. And I found that she came into the states about six months ago, as a part of a military training group with recruits from all over the world. But, she lived in Spain prior to that with her mother, Estrella Ajedrez. Her father's identity's been unknown, because he's part of the military somewhere in the country. And they can't search through their files for the father without some DNA from her, which they didn't have. Now we do and I think I finally solved that little mystery. Turns out he's been a lot closer than I thought." Hi-Tech said, his eyes flickering over to Long Range.
"You've got a kid?" Heavy Duty asked.
"I did. There was an attack in Madrid years ago. I thought the explosions had killed both her and her mother. And then I joined the military in Spain." he muttered, brushing his hair back.
"After that you came to the states, remained with the military and now you know that your daughter is still alive. And in the base." Scarlett reminded him. He nodded and walked out. Snake Eyes watched his friend leave silently.
Author: Please don't flame me. I tried to get Tunnel Rat's voice right, but it's not very easy so forgive. I always found him hard to understand anyways. If you notice similarities between my chaps & the eps, it's because when I was working on this I was also watching the first season. I didn't like the second season much, so no Firefly or Stone.
