Chapter Three

Nine Years later

"Make sure you don't screw up dummy,"

"Yeah Yeah, bite me,"

"I would if I could,"

"Focus you two!"

"Yadda ya/Yes sir,"

The most powerful sniper rifle on the entire planet, the Barrett M82 was currently mounted on a ledge, being operated by none other than one of the best upcoming Mercenaries, Ravager. She kind of wished her partner would screw up just so she could have an excuse to why she fired, from this devastating accurate little cannon.

She watched her partner through the high powered scope, roughly a mile away from where he actually was. She could see the young man that was her partner, running up the walls, and doing flips to reach the roof top. Once he did, he tip-toed over to the sky line window, and peeked inside, before giving the okay sign.

"There's the signal, you ready Ravage?" her commander asked, causing her to smirk as she readied the rifle.

"Always am sir," She replied and he gave a nod on the other line.

"Good watch his back. Kitsune! Keep sharp, and don't screw up like that last time. That was a mess we didn't need," the commander stated only earning an uncaring wave from the young man as he hummed in thought tapping his chin.

"Yo Ravage, the way this place is angled, it will be difficult for me to go silent all the way. So if you get the chance to take the shot, take it," the young man stated and Ravage nodded, confirming with her voice she understood. "Alright here goes nothing!"

Kitsune removed the hole he made into the glass and slipped into the building, which was an old dimly lit bar. Once inside, he stood on the old wood ceiling and stared down at the group of ten men currently having some canned food. Kitsune hummed quietly to himself as he scanned for his target, which was a crime lord named "Whisper" which was a stupid name in his opinion.

The job was to unalive whisper and what was left of his little gang seeing as some escaped his bladed fury during the first attempt. Yup, that was the screw up the commander was talking about.

Kitsune spotted his target, which was a man whose face was bandaged, which was the only tale that the young merc needed to identify. "Target set, Ravage, let em know yo,"

"Quit with the rhyming fool," Ravager responded right before three heads exploded in showers of blood. Kitsune smirked under his mask and hopped down, landing on the table in the middle between the other gang members.

"Hiya," Kitsune waved, it was silent for a moment as the gang members tried to process what was going on. "So…yeah, I'm going to take your lives now, KAFUUYE!" Kitsune yelped as he quickly unsheathed his sword and sliced three of the members heads off, then, pulling out one of his pistols and blowing off another one. "That's seven which means…"

"TAKE THIS YA STUPID FOX!" he heard from behind.

"Uh-oh," Kitsune voiced before he leapt forward, and dashed to the right to avoid the automatic machine gun that was being fired at him. The man laughed as he kept firing the gun before his head exploded as well. "A little faster would have been nice," Kitsune told Ravager with a grumble.

"Ya should be happy I shot him at all, ungrateful punk," She responded making him roll his eyes underneath his mask. "Keep focused Foxy, ya got two more, one of them being the target,"

"Aye-aye cap'n," Kitsune mock saluted, as he took notice of Whisper and his last Gang member. Kitsune put up his gun and gave them a mocking glare, "FREEZE!" however they ran out the back of the bar making him sigh. "Why do they always run?" he muttered before laughing and shooting a window, and hopping through it.

Just as he landed to the ground, Whisper and the gang member turned around the corner headed towards him. Slowly, Kitsune stood straight and glared at them, holding up his gun as he glared at them, "Stop if you want to live," he ordered in a menacing voice.

The two stopped, thinking they would but much to their surprise, or Whisper's surprise, his gang member fell dead when Kitsune shot him in the head. "Just kidding!" Kitsune laughed before he spun his gun around before pointing it at Whisper. "Oi, do you know how much trouble ya caused me since I had to chase you?" Kitsune demanded as he glared at Whisper who backed up slowly. "The commander forced me to skip lunch! Nothing haven't done before…but I still would like to have it if I get the chance!"

"Um, sorry? I'll buy ya a grilled cheese sandwich?" Whisper suggested but Kitsune glared at him, as if he was really angry.

"I don't like grilled cheese!"

BANG!

"Ya know, every time I wear this and I look at myself in the mirror, I can't help but think how bad ass I look!" Fifteen Naruto Namikaze Wilson grinned as he stood in front of a mirror and flexed.

Naruto's outfit consisted of black army pants with black tabi shoes and black shinguards. Around his waist he wears a orange sash with extra length, along with black gloves and elbow pads. Strapped to his thighs were his two custom pistols Luce and Ombra. For his shirt he wears a sleeveless black shirt over a skin tight chainmail tank top. Tied to his back was his muramasa katana, Benihime. Two pouches on the side of his sash held his shuriken, while the other held his fathers tri-pronged kunai. At the moment tied to his hip was a white fox porcelain kabuki mask with orange stripes and gold eyes.

A 19 year old Rose who laid on her brothers bed reading a magazine glanced over to him seeing him messing around in the mirror and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, a real charmer," she muttered flipping to the next page. Naruto visibly deflated as he glared grumpily at his sister through the mirror.

"Buzz kill," he grumbled as he began taking off his outfit right there. Rose's eyes glanced towards her brother as he undressed himself and she couldn't help but smile a bit as she admired his build. It was amazing how one as young as he is be so developed.

He stands at 6'2 with shoulder length messy golden blond hair and ruby red eyes. His body is cut, defined, toned, lean yet built. His biceps, triceps all defined and visible, he also sported a developing eight pack as well. And unlike most men who cared just about their top, he also cared about his lower body as well. His calf's were decent sized, yet powerful, his legs were just as defined, his thighs powerful as well.

It also didn't help that his body had a few tattoo's but not too much to go over the top, only adding more sexy to himself. On his entire left pec was a paragraph written in beautiful cursive. Tattooed at his core, right below his pecks yet right above his abs, was an upside down triangle. As he took off his pants tossing them to the side, he faced her a bit and she couldn't help but lick her lips a bit. He also has a defined V that pointed to the last appendage that was just as developed as his body, that only blessed grown men were able to wield.

As he fully faced her, she quickly turned her eyes back to the magazine but her cheeks started to heat up as he approached her. She gave a grunt of annoyance as he hopped onto the bed, moving her a bit. "Asshole," she grumbled and he gave a chuckle before snatching the magazine from her hand, "Hey I was reading that!" she barked but he ignored as he quickly read what was on the page.

"Ten ways to make your partner love you in bed?" Naruto read off with a confused expression and she blushed snatching it from him. "Who the hell are you boinking with at night?" he demanded and she flicked him in the head.

"None of your damn business," she returned. Making her way to get off the bed, she was stopped as her brother was suddenly on top of her, tossing away the magazine. "What the hell is wrong with you? Get off me!"

"Not until you tell me who you're having sex with, is it that Harvey Dent guy? Or maybe Superman?!" he interrogated and she glared at him with a blank look.

"You're an idiot," she stated blandly, but she sputtered a bit as he got closer to her face, his lips nearing hers. "Why are you so damn close?!"

"Come on Rosy? Just tell me who you have in your bed, please? I promise I won't kill them," he smiled but she simply rolled her eyes.

"Why would you kill them in the first place? If I allow them to sleep with me, doesn't that mean you should be cool with it? I mean I'm cool with who you allow to sleep with you," she pointed out and snorted in amusement.

"Ha! That's a lie. Remember Mindy? You gave her a black eye when you found out she gave me head in the girls bathroom," he reminded and she glared at him.

"That bitch was a slut! I didn't need her giving my precious little brother herpes!" she countered and he smirked getting closer to her, making her face heat up.

"Just like I don't need no assholes giving you something. Besides, you are mine Rosy, and only mine, right?" he asked slowly as their lips slowly came closer. She slowly nodded her head as they were about to finally meet lips.

But before they could as they were a mere centimeter away from the other, the mission light in the room went off, flashing red. "Naruto, Rose, stop goofing off like I know you are and meet me in the briefing room in three," they heard their father state. Naruto and Rose gave a sigh before, the blond rolled off his sister, and found a pair of shorts.

"C'mon Rosy, we don't want commander dad grilling our asses," he muttered and she nodded her head, getting off the bed. As she followed her younger brother she couldn't help but think back to how close she was to finally kissing him. And she would have too, if her stupid dad didn't interrupt. Now she will just have to wait until Naruto starts getting into her personal space again, or simply find the courage to kiss him herself…that was never going to happen.

The entered the brief room, and Naruto sat down in a chair a glass of rum in his hands. Rose walked passed him and sat in the chair next to him, while their father stood in front a decent sized screen. Once they were settled Slade nodded his head and began speaking.

"Alright, we are nearing the location of our next mission. While the last one was somewhat of a success, it could have been done quicker," Slade stated as he gave Naruto a pointed look who simply gave him an uncaring wave. "Now, this mission is a bit more serious, and deals with government issues so to speak," Slade muttered.

"How so?" Rose wondered and Slade gave a tired sigh as he pressed a button and a picture of a hispanic man wearing a white suit with a large scar and burn mark on his right eye came up. "Pretty nasty scar," she muttered causing Naruto to whistle a bit in appreciation.

"This is Pablo Jimenez," Slade stated. "He is a Nicaraguan political activist, and the leader of a terrorist organization named Judicium. From the information that has been given to me, Jimenez has hacked into multiple automated US military drones and has pointed them to attack major domestic cities throughout china, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Honkong," Slade explained causing Rose and Naruto to glance at each other.

"The US believes once he is done using the drones he will destroy them. But by doing this, he will cripple the US defenses, leaving the US military vulnerable in an attempt to ignite a worldwide uprising," Slade paused as he let them digest this information.

It was silent for a few moments before Naruto spoke up, "Let me get this straight. You are telling me, that this ugly asshole plans on destroying one of the cities that is responsible for the making of the food of the gods?" Naruto demanded with narrowed eyes. Rose's eye twitched at her brothers foolery while Slade bit back a sigh.

"Yes Naruto, if he succeeds, there will be a limit on Ramen," Slade said in an tired annoyed tone. Naruto stared at him for a single moment before leaning back in his chair.

"Let's kill this fucker, where is he and when do we start?" he questioned, making Rose chuckle a bit before looking towards her father who frowned as he looked at Jimenez' picture.

"That is the problem, he is very elusive. The US has sent most of their best men in finding this man and killing him. But it always seems he is a two steps ahead of them," Slade stated causing Rose to cross her arms.

"So they thought it was a good idea to call us. Lets say we do participate in their problem, what do we get out of this?" she wondered and Slade smirked before pressing another button revealing a check that made Naruto and Rose both drool, their eyes replaced with dollar signs. "That's a lot of zeroes,"

"I could buy ten yachts and still have money left over!" Naruto exclaimed before he cleared his throat and leaned back into the chair with a blank expression, trying to look cool. "Continue,"

"Thank you," Slade muttered before he clicked the button and the picture of Pablo came back. "Jimenez is apparently extremely charismatic, and influential to a number of people; he is nicknamed "The Messiah of the 99% and has a subscriber count on his Judicium YouTube channel in the millions and views in the hundreds of millions,"

"So he is YouTube famous? Big whoop," Naruto waved him off. "People will watch anything these days. One time I made a video myself pissing in a cup and…"

"Naruto," Both Slade and Rose snapped at him.

"Sorry,"

"As I was saying. He is the most dangerous terrorist, with Osama Bin Laden being right behind him. People in America…idolize him," Slade muttered as he showed a clip of Pablo simply waving to the American people below and a ruffled thong was thrown up at him, causing Naruto to laugh and Rose to sigh in annoyance. "Despite him being the one responsible for the blood spilled on US soil,"

"Eh people have bad tastes. I mean c'mon, people are starting to like that new guy..what's his name…Kent boy? No, Power-boy? No no…" Naruto muttered to himself as he kept listing names, after a while the two simply stopped paying attention and continued on with the briefing. And even though he kept on listing wrong names, they both could tell he was still listening closely.

"The result of our mission is simple," Slade stated with a shrug as he clicked a button and a cancel sign appeared on Pablo's face. "Kill Pablo Jimenez," Rose nodded so he continued on. "However, like I said Pablo here is quite elusive. While our goal is to kill him, our mission is to sabotage him. But keep in mind everything is off the books. If we get caught,"

"Which we won't," Rose cut in and he gave a small smile with a nod.

"The US will not come to the rescue. They don't want anymore attention turned on them because they secretly hired some expertly skilled mercenaries to kill a man who the American people see as a hero," Slade stated and Rose nodded once again.

"Alright, our mission now," clicking the button, another page came up. "Our mission takes place at Hkababo Razi Mountains, Myanmar," Slade started. "The mission is too obtain some information on Jimenez, which is stored into some kind of drive. We find this drive, we get out,"

"Sounds simple," Rose hummed.

"It should be, but it probably won't," Slade frowned as he glared at the screen. "We don't have a full team, it is just us three. Usually I don't mind, but this is serious and I don't want-"

"Daddy," Rose called, causing him to turn to her to see she was directing a smile at him. "We will be fine, you trained us to be mercenaries because we wanted to be. You trained us so we could take on missions like these. I believe we are ready, but how are we ever going to truly know if you keep us bogged down with minor contracts like killing drug dealers?"

"Yeah! When we going to get hired to rescue a princess or something?" Naruto followed with curiosity in his tone. Slade and Rose looked at him with raised brows and he gave a slight pout, "What?"

Slade sighed before he gave a nod, "You're right Rose. I did train you two to take on missions such as these. But, even though I watch you two grow up working side by side to complete the mission and I'm proud…I'm also worried, not as Deathstroke, but as your father," Slade stated.

"Well you have nothing to really worry about," Naruto spoke up, surprising Slade and Rose a bit from how serious his tone sounded at the moment. "I'm simply to awesome to die, and damn sure won't Rosy die either," Naruto declared as he grabbed his sisters hand, interlacing their fingers and squeezed it.

Rose blinked before she looked away from her brother with a blush, trying to not make eye contact with him or her father who took note of this but said nothing. "I believe you son," Slade admitted and Naruto gave a cheer causing him to chuckle and Rose to groan lightly.

"Alright," Slade said as he took a deep breath. "We don't have a full team, but I guess we don't need one. I will be monitoring the two of you from above, remaining on stand by. You two will infiltrate the remote temple and track down the drive and retrieve. Find the drive, get out," Slade told them seriously and they both nodded.

"Naruto, no fucking around; Rose keep sharp and keep him in line," Slade ordered and the two nodded once more. "Good, we arrive at the location in an hour and a half. Be ready by then, dismissed." Naruto and Rose stood up and headed for the door, "Rose, you stay,"

Blinking in a bit of surprise, she turned around while Naruto continued on, pinching her arm as he walked passed making her wince a bit and glare at him. Once the blond was gone, and Slade knew he was out of ear shot he turned to his daughter before walking to grab his glass of whisky. "You know you have my blessing, correct?"

"Eh?" Rose voiced, confusion clearly on her face. "Blessing for what?" She asked causing Slade to give a light snort of amusement. "I'm really clueless right here dad," she grumbled.

"My blessing for you to be with Naruto," he informed smoothly and almost immediately her face turned red before she laughed at him. As she laughed at him, he merely stared at her with a blank expression as he drank his whisky. Once he was done, and she seemed to quite down a bit, he spoke, "What's so funny? I was serious,"

"Dad, we may not be blood related; but Naruto is my brother and I am his sister," she stated with crossed arms. "And that's how it's going to stay," she said quietly and he hummed before shrugging.

"It doesn't have too," he told her and she looked a bit confused. "Look, I clearly see the feelings you have for him that are not very sisterly. Do you remember how furious you were when you caught Diane having sex with him a couple of months back?" he reminded and her visage turned into a glare as she remembered that day. "You still don't see her in the same light,"

"Well she's not supposed to be fucking her boss," she muttered. "Plus she's too old for him anyway,"

"Rose, first of all, Naruto seduced her, and second she's had feeling for him for a while. And that wasn't the first time they had sex either," Slade muttered and she looked at him with surprise. "Don't give me that look, you know every since Naruto turned twelve he's been trying to stick his dick into any pussy that looks good to him,"

"But why? Is it because he is a boy?"

"Maybe," Slade shrugged, however he was thinking it had something to do with that serum. After that, Naruto was the same, but wasn't the same either. He was more…violent, psychotic, he was just different. "But we're getting off subject,"

"Listen dad, I don't have feelings for Naruto alright? He is my brother, and that is the only thing I see him as," Rose declared with a huff. Slade shrugged before he turned around and set his glass down.

"Look Rosy, I know you are confused about this. He's been your brother for a long time, so why are you having feelings for him? I think it's because he is the only male around your age that has shown you any kind of proper affection, that was brotherly, but not so brotherly," Slade explained. "I just want you to know, it's alright for you to be with him, and that maybe perhaps you should think about it a bit more,"

With that said, Slade left the room, leaving a confused and irritated Rose.

"Suits secure?"

"Yup," Kitsune and Ravager responded as they stood by the door, with Slade in front of them.

"Good, remember I got my eye on both of you from above, our com links should be ready. I scanned the entire area before a few minutes ago, so the map should be in your watch pads," Slade told them and they nodded, checking just to make sure. "I will guide you, when you need to be guided. If you need any sort of help, such as medical attention, keep in mind that I am seven to ten minutes away, understood?"

"Yadda ya/ Yes sir,"

"Alright, good luck, be safe, be smart and keep sharp," Slade ordered as he opened the door. Kitsune gave a mock salute to the man before he jumped out the door with Ravager following after him.

"Yippe!" Kitsune cheered as he did flips and twists in the air, while Ravager simply maintained a dive position. "Alrighty! We're nearing landing point, parachute on!" the fox masked merc shouted as he pulled on his parachute just as he was 20 meters away from the ground.

Ravager followed his lead, and pulled on her parachute as well. Once they were close, the two cut the lines of the parachute and landed on the snowy mountain with skids and thuds. Once the two were landed, Kitsune looked over the cliff before he turned to his partner and made hand motions to which she understood. Kitsune jumped off the cliff and Ravager watched after him, measuring how far he was dropping. She then heard a crack noise, and realized that he had stabbed the cliff wall.

That was her cue and she jumped after him, she noticed his kunai approaching and she pulled out her own combat knives and stabbed the wall as well. "It's one more jump, land in those bushes," Kitsune told her and she nodded her head. He leapt off the wall, taking his kunai with him and landed on the ground with a roll. She once again followed his lead, landing in the bushes like he said.

"Landing point reached," Ravager signaled back to base. Slade confirmed the message, and she turned her attention to Kitsune who was looking through a pair of binoculars. He handed them to her while he muttered quietly.

"Seems like Scarface has a private army," he said and she nodded in agreement. "I counted ten," he added.

"Ten," she agreed, and double checked to make sure they were both right. Once she found out they were, she put the binoculars away. "How do you want to do this?" she asked turning to him to see he was already gone. "Asshole," she grumbled before she heart a pained grunt along with a slicing sound.

Turning her head forward she watched as Kitsune quickly, silently and efficiently killed all ten people without a single bullet being fired. Making sure she was in the clear, she rose from the bushes and quickly joined his side. "Next time you do that, I'm going to put a bullet in your foot,"

"No promises," Kitsune responded with as he wiped the blood off his sword. She rolled her eyes under her mask and followed after him as he took off silently in the night. "Left right," he ordered and she nodded heading to the right side while headed to the left.

As she quietly trotted through the forest, she jumped up, landing on top of a tree. Narrowing her eyes, she spotted four men with assault rifles patrolling around; she then also saw a bright light up a head in the trail, probably where she was supposed to be headed.

She took out her combat knives and leapt into action, literally. As soon as she neared her first victim a single round was let out in the area Naruto was in. This alerted her batch of enemies, but it was too late as she had already landed on her first victim. He grunted as she sat on top of him, but before he could make any more noise, he had two knives in his throat.

Glancing to her left, she threw her left knife at one of the men nearby, stabbing him in the head. He fell with a thud, which earned the attention of the last two. They readied their rifles and looked around with their attached flashlights, taking careful steps around. One of them spotted their teammates dead body and was about to call for help when he heard a rustle and turned his attention.

The last thing he saw was a person wearing an orange and black mask covering the upper half of their face, jump at them. Ravager slit his throat, covering his mouth as he made gurgling sounds. Once she was sure he was dead, she stood and silently walked towards her last victim who was starting to fire bullets as he had noticed he was alone. His shooting was suddenly halted as Ravager came up from behind him, cloaked by the shadows of the night and twisted his neck.

He too fell with a thud and she retrieved her knife. Sheathing them both, she kept running till she reached the bright light. When she did she heard more ranges of gun fire, turning the corner she saw Kitsune slice a gun in half with his katana before kicking the merc in the face so hard that he broke his neck.

From behind someone was shooting at him, but the bullets that came close he deflected them with his sword before he disappeared and reappeared before the last merc, running his blade through his heart. Removing it he flicked the blood off and looked towards Ravager. "Hiya Ravage!" he greeted waving at her cheerfully.

She simply gave a light chuckle before meeting up with him since things were all clear. The two looked around before realizing they were currently at a base, which ticked Kitsune off a bit. He looked around a bit before noticing a hill, figuring he found the trail, he gestured for Ravager to follow. As they ran up the trail, the two heard the sound of a chopper.

Picking up their speed they found a spot they could use for cover and observed a little bit to what was going on. "Kitsune, Ravager, access point nearby," Slade informed and the two nodded, checking their watch pads. Ravager tapped Kitsune's arm and pointed to the tent, however it was covered by his future victims.

"There is a ledge up there as well with stairs," Ravager pointed out, "I count about five victims over there and maybe four by the tent," she stated. Kitsune nodded, gesturing he will take the ledge. "Alright, lets move!"

The two took off headed to their destinations, and as they did so they were spotted which led to them being shot at. Ravage unsheathed one of her double edged swords and attacked the closest man to her, while Naruto unhooked Luce and Ombra and began shooting rapid bullets at his victims.

The men on the ledge quickly began to fall while Ravager was deflecting bullets from her last two men. She dashed towards one and slashed at his chest before kicking him the face. The last man shot at her, but she pulled out her hand gun and fired at him too, blasting off his face. Once he fell dead, she walked to the tent, reaching the access point.

"AH!" she heard behind her before there was a resounding thud. She didn't bother glancing, knowing it was her partner who was the cause. She heard him holstering his guns as he now stood beside her, while keeping look out.

"What are we looking for?" he asked and before she could answer he spoke up as he spotted two trucks filled with men drive up. "Never mind, you got this handled?" she gave a nod and he smirked walking out of the tent. He pulled down the cloth, giving her some minor protection.

Kitsune raised a brow as he heard the men with guns yell at him in a language he did not understand. Well he did, he just didn't care to decipher at the moment. "Man, it's no fun talking to people that can't understand you…oh well, bet they understand the language of death!" Kitsune grinned madly as he unsheathed his katana and rushed at them.

Suddenly bullets from all over began firing, heading towards his direction. With great speed and skill, Kitsune was able to deflect each and every single bullet that was going to hit him as he rushed towards the first jeep. He suddenly became a blur with an orange tint, appearing on top of the jeep.

The men were too surprised, but it didn't matter as Kitsune had already slashed at them with one wave. He then stabbed through the window killing the driver. The passenger got out of the car and began running but Kitsune threw a shuriken at him. The blond smirked as the shuriken whizzed towards the target, landing in the back of his head. "Bingo! I win! What's my prize?!"

His answer was more bullets being shot at him, which he skillfully dodged and deflected. As he flipped off the car, he grabbed a rifle from one of his victims. "Say ello to my wittle frwend!" the young merc shouted as he fired the rifle while he was still in the air, and in mid flip. He successfully killed three of his enemies before landing on the other jeep and firing at the front window, killing the driver and the passenger. Bringing up his arm, he ducked under a swing before backhanding his attacker with the rifle. The second merc pulled out a knife and lunged at him, but he missed; then received a bullet to the head for his troubles.

"Game over," Kitsune said as all of his attackers were dead. He hopped off the jeep just as Ravager came out from the tent. "So what's the plan toots?" he asked and she pointed north. "Gotcha," he nodded before they took off in that direction.

"I'm picking up some boogies up ahead," Ravager stated, glancing at her watch pad. Kitsune nodded his head, un-strapping his pistols while she unsheathed one of her swords. "Three fifteen!" She stated and, Kitsune turned to his right and fired at the assailant hiding in the trees. "Ten forty five!" she added and he shot at the next target before skidding to the left, while Ravager leapt forward to slash at an oncoming attacker.

Once he was dead she deflected a bullet before running forward and slashing at the incoming enemies. She ducked under a bullet that was fired before kicking the man in the face, as he stumbled back she grabbed him, and threw him to the side at one of his comrades. The man landed on the other man, and Ravager ran both of them through with her sword before being forced to abandon it as she was being shot at once more.

She ran around the man, darkness being her friend. As she neared him, he began cursing in his native language before he spun around and began firing in the direction she was in. she gave a grunt as a bullet whizzed past her left ear. She then leapt at her target but before she could even get her hands on him, a bullet burst through his head.

"Bang," she heard while she blinked, her target falling on the ground. She then looked towards Kitsune who put his gun back into the holster. She stood straight and gave him a nasty glare then grabbed her sword and sheathing it. Feeling her anger towards him, he looked confused, "What?"

"Asshole," she grumbled, bumping into him on purpose as she walked past him. Kitsune began following her, but he was still confused.

"What I do?"

"Kitsune, Ravager do you copy?" Slade spoke into their links and they gave a verbal response. "Good, you two are going to come up to the entrance of the temple. However, once you get there, there will no doubt be maybe thirty bogies minimum in that area,"

"Sweet, permission to go loud?" Kitsune asked as he readied his sword. He heard Slade give an annoyed sigh then gave a verbal response.

"I don't even know why you ask me that,"

"Roger Roger!" Kitsune replied as he cut off the verbal connection. He looked towards Ravager who was readying her weapons, deciding to use both of her swords. "You ready to dance?"

She gave a nod, smirking, "Let's Tango,"

The two mercenaries broke out into a run, heading towards the entrance of the temple. As they neared it, Kitsune went left while she went right. Kitsune ran up a hill, trying to find a good height to fall from while Ravager snuck through the bushes, trying to get a good luck of her victims.

Kitsune found his height and gave a whistle of appreciation, as he looked down below, gazing at the many soon to be victims that were keeping guard. "Whatever this Jimenez guy has in that drive must be pretty important if he has this many guards," he muttered to himself. He hummed before sheathing his sword, and unhooking his pistols. "Luce, Ombra; lets light em up," he grinned under his mask before he turned around and let his body fall, his back facing the ground.

He spun around, going into a diving position. As he neared the ground, he set his sights on his first five targets and shot a total of ten bullets, two bullets hitting their targets dead on, either striking their neck, head, heart or eye. They all fell with simultaneous thuds, bring the attention of some of the others.

However before they could investigate any further, Ravager began her onslaught, bringing about screams of pain followed by gun shots. One of the men was going to run to check out what was going on when he was suddenly slammed to the ground due to Kitsune landing on him. "SAFE!" he announced as if he was an umpire. Glancing down at his groaning pillow, he smirked and pointed Luce and the man's head, "But not for you," he said before pulling the trigger.

A moment later, gun fire was heard and bullets were flying towards him. "Yuh-oh," he voiced as he back flipped away while firing bullets at his attackers, hitting them almost perfectly. He heard a yell from behind and saw a large muscular man charge at him. He quickly avoided the tackle before pointing his gun at the man's head and shot him from behind.

More bullets were fired at him and he began running around, trying to find the right angle to fire back and kill them. And while he dealt with that, Ravager was slashing through her enemies with ease. She felt no remorse as she sliced off a man's arm with one sword, stabbed his heart with the other, flipped around him so she was behind him, grabbed his neck and then threw him over her head to another guard. She then spun around in a full circle firing the assault rifle the victim had, killing anyone who were trying to close in on her.

Once she ran out of the clip she then threw the gun at someone's face before ripping out her sword from the body and ran towards the dazed person. Once he got his vision back, the next thing he saw was the bottom of a boot, as her foot kicked his face in, crunching his nose etc. He gave a grunt falling to the ground, but was picked back up by Ravage and was repeatedly shot since he was being used by her as a shield.

Snapping off the ring to a grenade on his person she threw him towards her four attackers, and in a bloody mess, they all exploded. She then moved on, running towards the entrance of a temple. As she did so, she realized she was being shot at by a couple of people that were hiding.

As she ran, she spotted Kitsune running as well, though he was a level above her as he too was being shot at. "Switch!" the two said in unison. Ravager suddenly went the way he had come, while he jumped down to the level Ravager was, and fired at one of the hiders, before dodging a bullet and returning shots, killing him with a bullet to the head and the throat.

Ravager had deflected the bullets shot at her, by Kitsune's attackers before she leapt towards them. As she fell from the air, they continued to fire, but was too late as she had already landed on top of him, slicing his throat. She then stood up, at the ready, but realized, there was no more gunfire.

"Clear!" she voiced.

"Me too!" Kitsune returned. She gave a nod and sheathed her swords before jogging over to the closed door of the temple. As she inspected it, Kitsune arrived and gazed at it as well while waiting on her call. "So, should we blow it up or…"

"Yeah, you got any C4?" She asked and he shook his head. Humming in thought, she noticed a dead body and walked over to it. Bending down, she found what she was looking for and pulled off the belt of grenades he had on him. "Help me with these rings," she ordered.

Kitsune yanked them all off and Ravager tossed the grenades at the door, the two of them took a few steps back and watched the door exploded/ once the dust settled, the two walked forward and into the temple. "Ravager to base, moving into the second location,"

"Roger," Slade replied. As the two walked in, they noticed it looked like an underground tunnel a bit. "Watch your step, floodwaters may have weakened the structure," Slade advised them. Kitsune looked down to see that that were currently standing on a metal vent of sorts, and it looked quite moist as well.

The two moved on, going down the tunnel till they reached the entrance of a cave of sorts. However they noticed how half of it looked like a temple, while the other half looked really modern as there was even a metal sliding door that needed a passcode.

"Kitsune, look at this," Ravager stated and he turned to her before looking up and around the walls. "It was just a front, these walls are several meters thick; the comms won't work once we're inside," she informed and he gave a mutter before turning towards the door.

"Roger that Ravager, just keep sharp," Slade told them and they gave nods while Ravager gave a verbal response before cutting the connection. She then gave a sigh and walked towards the control panel.

"Besides shooting it and slashing it, any ideas on how to get this door to open?" she asked as she inspected the panel. Kitsune was about to suggest something but she cut him off before he could, "And no, we are not going to blow it up." This caused him to deflate as he gave grumbles.

"Oh!" Kitsune voiced, before pressing on his watch pad while walking over to the panel. "A few days ago, I got this cool new code breaker app," he stated and she rolled her eyes. "Maybe it could work," he shrugged as he linked the panel and his watch pad together.

"Idiot, I don't think an app will…" she was silenced as the door suddenly began to open while the panel flashed green. She glanced to Kitsune who was giving her a victory sign and she punched him in the face, "Asshole,"

Kitsune merely grunted as he stood back up and followed his sister inside, both of them on alert somewhat. The two walked in and down a hallway, which looked modern and technical, not to mention clean. "I wonder how much they pay the janitor," Kitsune muttered but Ravager ignored him, as they stopped at the end of the hallway. In front of them were locked doors, with another panel and Kitsune used his code breaker app again. However this time it took a little longer, but once he had it, the doors opened.

Ravager was about to walk forward but she was stopped by Kitsune, as he held his hand out. She could tell he was now a bit serious which put her on edge a bit, and began too look around. He pulled out Luce and cocked it, ready to be fired and she pulled out her pistols as well.

Slowly, the two continued walking. But Kitsune grabbed her and jumped back just as the path in front of them exploded. Once they had gained their bearings a bit, shots were fired at them, but they stuck to the walls avoiding the bullets. Kitsune poked his head out before tucking it back in and glancing towards Ravager. "ASD," he told her and she nodded.

He then rolled across the floor, firing bullets at the moving gun machine, distracting it while Ravager, took another route. As he did his best to avoid being shot, Ravager snuck up behind the machine and stabbed it with her sword. "Quack!" Kitsune voiced and she immediately ducked down and he fired a bullet, hitting a soldier in the head as he tried sneaking up behind Ravager. "Moo!" He yelled and she rolled to the side, avoiding more bullets from attackers that showed up and started shooting.

As he pulled the Luce's trigger, shooting soldiers left and right, he then pulled out Ombra and his accuracy and rate increased as he began delivering fatal bullets to each and every soldier in the room. "We need to keep moving, we're about to be swarmed," Kitsune declared as he began running forward, shooting more soldiers that arrived from either side of the doors.

Ravager stood up and sheathed one of her swords and pulled out her pistol and followed her brother into the hallway on the right. She watched him tuck and roll to the side for cover, allowing her to shoot a soldier multiple in the times in the chest. As he fell, another came and before he could even get a bullet out, blood splattered onto the wall behind him as Kitsune shot at his head. The soldier fell down, as the two young mercs stepped over his body, moving into the next hall.

But as soon as they did they were forced to dive for cover as three men with heavy assault rifles entered the hallway and simply started spraying the place. Kitsune and Ravager sat beside each other switching clips, calm as day. They glanced to each other before nodding; Kitsune stood up and shot at a window, breaking the glass gathering their attention. He immediately ducked back down, and went the way he had came while Ravager had already gone the other way.

Kitsune then stood up and shot twice at the third man, killing him instantly. The last two men then turned to where Kitsune was facing and was about light him up when suddenly one's head was blown off and the other was shortly decapitated. Blowing away the smoke from the barrel of her pistol and flicking off the blood of her blade, Ravager ignored the growing pool of blood and kept walking, Kitsune following after her.

The two silently walked down the hall, taking note of the few more soldiers that were searching for them. Once the soldiers crossed his vision, Kitsune raised his arms and blasted them all with rapid fire while Ravager kept walking towards the elevator. Once he was done, Kitsune joined her in the elevator and she pressed the floor they were supposed to go while he reloaded.

"Fifty-nine," Kitsune stated and Ravager smirked in response.

"Sixty-three," she returned in a slightly smug tone.

"Bitch,"

"You know you love me,"

"More than you know," he responded with making her glance at him but she decided to store it away for later as they reached their floor. But they had to find cover, because as soon they reached the floor, there was another ASD waiting for them, firing rapidly, breaking the glass and such to the elevator. "My turn," Kitsune said quietly as he hooked his pistols and unsheathed his katana.

He then ran towards the ASD, his arms moving rapidly as he deflected every bullet the machine shot at him. As he reached it, he brought up his arm and brought down in a diagonal slash, slicing it through completely. But it wasn't over as bullets were being fired from soldiers hiding behind a box of crates. He deflected the bullets before pulling out Ombra and firing several shots at the crates to get the soldiers attention. He then paused and waited for the soldier to poke his head out, and when he did, blood splattered from it as bullet tore straight through his skull.

"Keep moving!" She ordered, running past him. He followed after her, watching as she went left, avoiding the bullets that were being shot at her from a soldier at the door on the right. The man was so focused on Ravager he didn't see when the barrel of a pistol was pointed at his head to it was too late.

"Bang," Kitsune stated before he fired it, then moved on. As he ran down the halls, he could hear screams and gun fire on the other side. Once he reached the hall, he blinked when he saw a man flying through the air before slamming into the wall, a bullet already in his chest.

Ravager came out of the hallway a moment after and she suddenly rolled out of the way as bullets were shot at her from above. Kitsune too had to move around as bullets were flying. The two looked up to see there were three ceiling turrets firing at them. Kitsune fired at them, but his bullets bounced off of them. "Well since you want to be assholes," Kitsune grumbled as he stood under one, and jumped up, stabbing it with his Katana, causing it to malfunction. Ravager followed his lead and did the same to another while he destroyed the last one.

Sheathing his sword and putting away his gun, he walked out of the room with Ravager walking beside him. They entered another room which had doors closed with another panel. She waited for Kitsune to do his thing, but he was standing there. "What? No Wifi?"

"No, someone is here," he muttered as he unhooked Luce and sniffed around. Ravager took out her pistols as well, looking around. Kitsune stopped in front of a crate and narrowed his eyes at hit before he pressed a few buttons to get it to open. Once it did, a man came out, already holding his hands up.

"Please! Don't hurt me!" he pleaded. Kitsune grabbed on to him and slammed him against a wall, holding his pistol to the man's temple.

"Finally, someone who speaks English! Now, where I can I find the nearest taco stand?"

"Kitsune!"

"Sorry, um…oh yeah!" Kitsune remembered as he pressed the barrel to the man's temple. "This lab is linked to a known terrorist, you start talking, or ya little friend here is going to go bye bye," the blond stated as he pointed at the man's crotch.

The man began sweating profusely and spoke, "My name is Erik Breighner, I'm a magnetometrist," he stated and Kitsune raised a brow, and sounded confused.

"Magneto? He doesn't live in this universe, you're thinking of Marvel bud," Kitsune corrected and Ravager sighed shaking her head.

"No fool, he's saying he's a…oh never mind," She shook her head before glaring at Erik. "So what is Jimenez's interest in you then?"

"Look they brought me here to process a new rare earth element, Celerium. If processed correctly it can render all existing microchip technology obsolete," Erik explained and the two merc glanced at each other. Suddenly the entire room shook, the sound of an explosion taking place. "They're coming! Get me out of here alive, and I'll give you everything!"

"Sounds like a plan," Kitsune smirked, before he played paper rock scissors with Ravager Ravager won beating him with paper; they went again and he won beating her with scissors. The two went at it again, pulling a draw, then again and again, pulling draw about three more times. Then they went one last time and Kitsune cheered as he one with rock. "I win! Loser!" he taunted her, making her roll her eyes.

Kitsune stepped away from Erik who was forced to stay beside Ravager since she lost. "Stay down," she ordered him and he did so, before turning to see her brother laugh manaically as he holstered his gun and pulled out his tri-pronged kunai. The teenage mercenary then ran ahead towards the opening door, laughing all the way.

Once he reached the door, he patiently waited for the door to open. And it did the soldiers were surprised to see Kitsune there waiting for them. "Hi! How are all of you doing? My name is Kitsune, and I will be taking your lives today," he said cheerfully. "So please, remain seated, buckle in, and enjoy the ride,"

A soldier stepped forward and shot at Kitsune but the bullet was avoided with a head movement. That was the fox wearing merc's cue to attack and he did so, going in for the kill. He threw himself into the crowd and began his slaughter.

With one wave of his arm, two soldiers fell as he slashed open their throats. He avoided a tackle from another, before slamming him into the wall. Once he was slammed two more fired their guns at him, but he quickly side stepped and rushed at them, slashing at their stomachs before smashing their heads together. The one he slammed into the wall tried it again, but this time he received a knee to the stomach then an elbow to the head, knocking him down to the ground.

Kitsune picked up the body and used it as a shield, killing the man as he was being shot repeatedly. He dropped the corpse and lunged at his attackers, breaking one's neck with a strong round kick then throwing his kunai at another soldiers forehead. Before the man fell however, Kitsune retrieved his kunai and moved onto his next victim.

"I think he's done," Ravager muttered as she heard no more gunshots after a minute or so. Erik looked worried, not really believing her.

"Alright! They're all dead!" Kitsune informed. She nodded her head and stood with Erik before forcing him to run over to Kitsune who was covered in the blood of his victims. Erik looked like he wanted to puke but Ravager got his attention.

"Now where is the Celerium?" she demanded, Erik nodded and began to take them to it, explaining how to get it, but neither cared about that. Once the doors opened, Erik ran to a pillar like tube and began pressing buttons on the panel while Ravager watched and Kitsune wiped himself off.

Once the code was accessed, the glass around the small cylinder like object disappeared and Erik grabbed it, holding it out to Ravager. "Quantum entanglement; This single device has more processing power than your entire military infrastructure," Erik informed as she took it from him. "Rumor around the base is, Jimenez plans to use it for a massive cyber attack,"

"If Jimenez uses a celerium worm to initiate an attack, there is nothing anyone can do to stop it; I wouldn't even be able to stop it," Erik declared seriously. Ravager however turned her attention to Kitsune who began firing bullets, to see he was shooting soldiers that were entering the room. As they began to fire at him, a stray bullet shot through Erik's throat, ultimately killing him.

"Dammit!" Ravager cursed as she saw Kitsune throw three shuriken at the soldiers, killing each on of them. "We need to get the fuck out of here," She stated and began running out with Kitsune right beside her.

"Agreed," He stated, as he sliced through soldiers that dared tried to stop them. "Commander! We need an extraction point, we have the package," he told Slade through the comm link. He wasn't sure if he could hear his father, or if his father could even hear him, but he would like to hope that Slade was smart enough to put up an extraction point on their watch pads, which Ravager started to check.

"Nothing is coming up," she informed and he gave an annoyed grunt before kicking a soldier in the face before slicing his throat then throwing the kunai at another soldier, grabbing his guns and extending them, firing two bullets each hitting two more targets. Putting away his guns, he ran forward and grabbed his kunai from the soldiers eye and continued on down the hallway.

"We'll make our way out then," he stated. The two made a sharp left then a right. As they ran down the hall, they entered another room and skidded to a stop as they were surrounded by about ten men using assault rifles, wearing U.S military uniform.

"Stand down mercs," they heard. The two turned their heads to see a hefty bald black man wearing an admiral outfit. "Admiral Nolan, we are the extraction team," Nolan stated with a gruff tone.

"Oh yeah?" Kitsune raised a brow, before he threw the kunai at a soldiers knee, making him yell out in pain and fall to it. Ravage suddenly grabbed another soldier pinning him to the ground with her pistol pointed to the back of his head. Kitsune had already had another soldier on the ground in pain from breaking his nose with a punch then putting another in a choke hold, ready to snap his neck. "Prove it,"

"We were not notified of any extraction team," Ravage stated as she cocked her pistol. "How do we know you are not working for Jimenez?" she raised a brow. Nolan glared at both of them, however he couldn't help but admit the two had skill as they had taken down four of his men within a two maybe three seconds before a trigger was even pulled.

"Stand down Kitsune, Ravager," they heard come from a familiar voice. Both mercs turned their attention to their commander, Deathstroke as he walked up from behind Nolan in his full gear. "Nolan offered an extraction team half an hour ago, and I accepted considering I did not know when you two would have made it out,"

"Oh," Kitsune muttered before he released the soldier as did Ravager. "Well ya should have just said that," the teen shrugged. "Anyway, we have the package," Kitsune stated as he nodded to Ravager who pulled out the celerium. Nolan held out his hand, gesturing for her to give it to him. The two mercs looked towards Deathstroke, a bit unsure. He gave a nod and Ravager sighed before hand it to the admiral.

"Whatever your boy Jimenez is planning, Celerium is the key to it," Ravage stated. "We thought we were looking for a hard drive with information, but we found that instead," she informed and Nolan nodded as he smiled at it.

"We are finally one step ahead of that cocksucker," Nolan cursed and Kitsune frowned raising a brow.

"You got something against gays admiral? They are pretty cool people, when they're not all flamboyant and shit," he grumbled and Nolan gave him an annoyed look. "I'm just saying,"

Nolan glanced to Deathstroke who simply shook his head slowly, telling him to just ignore him. The admiral then glanced to Kitsune before deciding to do as Deathstroke suggested and move. "Alright, we're done here good work soldiers,"

"Hold up!" Ravager spoke, earning his attention. "What's next? We're still tracking down Jimenez, right?" she asked and Nolan glanced to Deathstroke before turning to Ravager.

"Listen, you two did a good job here. A portion of the money has been given to your…"

"Fuck the money, I want to kill Jimenez," Kitsune spoke up. "Now, this can go two ways, maybe three. One, you can either supply us with the information of where we can find Jimenez, so we can go kill him for you…or," Kitsune then crossed his arms with a shrug. "We go find Jimenez anyway and kill anyone and everyone that has a gun pointed at us, including your men…and we still kill him,"

"And the third way?" Nolan asked and Kitsune simply chuckled, menacingly. "I see," Nolan narrowed his eyes at the merc before glancing around to his still recovering men. "Very well then, your work with us will continue,"

"And, we still get paid the original amount that was owed to us," Ravager added and he ticked his teeth before nodding. "Good, we'll be in our quarters, I'm sure boss here will give us the details?"

Deathstroke gave an impressed smirk under his helmet and nodded his head. The two mercenaries walked off with Nolan looking after them as well was Slade. "Those two are quite something, where'd you pick them up?"

"From a good family," Deathstroke answered, as he had a smile on his face as he gazed at his two children who were messing around by nudging each other. He raised a brow however when Kitsune stopped and pumped his fist with a cheer.

"I remember the name! It's Super-man!"
