Reach, New Kobol city, 1302 hours day 2
Ranger and TSS pushed into a gun stop store. Inside the store was well lighted but the walls were covered in old used guns. Behind the counter was a store clerk in a red uniform held a plasma pistol.
"Welcome to gun stop, would you like a subscription to gun informer?" He greeted and asked.
"No," both Ranger and TSS said flatly. Ranger walked up to the counter and placed a piece of paper on the counter.
"We need this order filled pronto." He said darkly.
"Pwsah! Good luck with that. Do you have a preorder?" The store clerk replied.
"Preorder?" TSS muttered but Ranger cut him off.
"No," Ranger answered pulling out his M6C and jamming it under the clerks guns. "But you'll fill that order or well go to gun fly."
"NOT GUN FLY!!" The store clerk shouted grabbing the piece of paper and tossing the weapons listed it on the table; a silenced colonial service pistol, a UNSC rocket launcher, a pair of sawed-off shot gun's, and plenty of ammo for them all and the guns the two owned. Ranger smiled passing over a few twenties.
"Pleasure doing business with you," Ranger said as he and TSS picked up the guns. They strode out of the shop and sat down on a bench. Ranger slung one of the shot guns on his back and pocketed extra shells for it along with three extra clips for his pistols. TSS hefted everything else and pocketed ammo for his MP5.
"So let me get this straight. You want me to find Kanton while you go with the others and hunt down Shade?" TSS said slapping in a fresh magazine to his MP5. Ranger nodded replacing his empty pistol clips. "Yeah, most likely candidates would be Shade, or you're Anti. So even if your Anti isn't responsible you can shot stuff up a lot."
TSS sighed. "You know I do wish I was going after Shade. I want to get a little payback for what he did to my old crowbar."
"Boy you really hold a grudge," Ranger muttered cocking his weapons. TSS smirked. "It's what I do."
Suddenly Ranger pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to TSS. "Here, he said. TSS frowned and took it from Ranger.
"What is it?" He asked.
Ranger turned on his heel and began to make his way up the street. "The number of the man who taught me how to fight again, the only other who might be able to beat Shade, the sultan of guns and swords, none other than!!" He spun around pulling out his M6C and firing off a shot.
"The half devil son of Sparda himself! The dark knight devil hunter, Dante!" TSS blinked in shock at hearing the name of the famous devil hunter. Then he shrugged. "Eh makes sense."
Ranger blinked in surprise. "What?"
"Well now that I look at it makes sense. Dante's a badass with two guns and a huge sword. You like guns and swords." Then he smirked. "Also explains the attitude."
Ranger returned the smirk and he shrugged. "What can I say, you pick up stuff."
??, Shade, 1337 hours day 2
Shade stood silent his soul eater swords tip stabbing into the marble stone beneath his feet. About him were fourteen stone statue's that rose to the ceiling. Three of the carved figures held tall spears, three more had tall swords, three had massive stone bows, and the last three held horns and scrolls. He stood silent until the Bronze Centipede walked over to him, the Twilight bow in hand.
"Report," Shade hissed. Shade's right hand man gave quick bow. "We've search the surrounding area, it's confirmed. There is no way through the great gate unless the person attempting to pass it is a Twilight warrior and knows the secret seal."
Shade nodded. "How goes Hama's progress?"
"Why don't you ask that question to me?" Said a woman's voice in the dark. Out of the Shadow's emerged a woman in a black robe, her hair was black and her eyes sparkled with an evil light. Shade smiled.
"Ah Hama the blood bender. You look lovely." Hama smirked. "It's amazing what one of those rebirth tanks can do to a woman. I haven't looked this good since I was forty five." Shade and Bronze almost
Winced. "Thanks for the mental image." Shade muttered. "So how have our hostages done?"
Hama laughed evilly. "Take a look," she said motioning to the door. Through the archway came Thirty two Darkside dukes all armed and ready. Shade grinned wickedly. "How fortunate to find a village full of people with the darkside gene." Bronze laughed. "Those fools won't know what hit them!"
"Just to be sure though, alert Sarge to have the reds and the Lopez bots ready to go." Shade said. Bronze nodded. "I'll alert him ASAP."
Shade turned to gaze upon the massive door behind them. "I must prepare myself for the show, bring me the coffin." Bronze nodded and whistled. Grif and Simmons dragged in a large wooden box with paper tags all over it. Shade then pulled out a pill from his pocket as the two opened the coffin. Shade smirked at his minions.
"See you when I wake up." He said before popping the pill into his mouth. For about a second there was nothing, then Shade convulsed and fell to his knees coughing up a storm! He convulsed as his pulse raced.
Reach, Kobol city outskirts, 1338 hours day 2
The authors and Belinda were gathered at the edge of the city. Ranger looked bored as a couple of troop transport warthog's were brought up. Belinda was talking with DM. Ranger personally didn't like the feel of this Archeologist. It seemed way to convenient that she would show up when they needed someone with her connections fast.
"We should reach the northern mountain range by tomorrow." She said tossing a bag into the back of a warthog then climbing in herself.
"Well that's good to know." DM replied hopping in himself. Ranger saw Hikari give Belinda a glare before climbing into the hog. 'Looks like someone is not to happy,' he mused. Then Ranger sighed and began to pull himself into the jeep.
Suddenly pain more terrible than any he'd ever felt hit him! He gave a cry of pain and fell to the ground clutching at his stomach! The curse mark on his neck burned like a wild fire! The authors in alarm gathered about him trying to hold him down as he thrashed in the dirt.
"What's… happening to me?" Ranger hissed through clenched teeth. Then his head swam and he passed out.
Ranger24: Ugh. Read and review.
