Gun Operation Shot Down
Sun and Mei are sneaking around inside the gun making factory that is within the fortress of Shady D. Mann as they try to find the main computer for the whole operation, they also notice some guards around meaning Shady is trying to play safe to keep his business afloat. Sun took out one guard near the conveyor belt as Mei quietly ran past her master to get a little further and hid behind a large machine pillar as she spotted another guard patrolling around and made her move swiftly to knock him out with a karate chop to the neck. They quickly threw the two unconscious guards into the janitor door that was in a small hallway, Sun notices a metal staircase leading to a platform above the factory.
"This way." Sun whispered.
The two quietly went up making sure not to make any noise as they are climbing up the stairs as they got a higher view of the bullets making factory, then Sun spotted something on the right side, and it appears to be a vault.
"I think that vault might hold something important." Sun pointed at the vault with his staff.
"Could be something for this factory." Mei theorized.
"Then let's get going." Sun smirked.
Sun and Mei made their way to the vault though they spotted a guard standing about 10-15 feet away from the vault, Sun decided to use the sound distraction skill to make the sound coming from behind the guard making him turned around for a moment which is enough time for him and Mei to sneak attack on the attack. Sun swings his staff up to knock the gun off the guard's hands and strike at the head a few times before Mei jumps in with an axe-kick that knocks him out.
"Oh yeah, we are good." Sun said proudly.
"I am so please that we can take the guards out without raising an alarm." Mei smiled.
"Master, do you read me?" Hazuki contacted Sun through the binocu-talkie.
"What's up, Hazuki?" Sun asked.
"I just talked with a couple of guards that came by to check out the small post. I learned that Shady's main room which is at the top floor can only be open if you got three keycards from three of his best guards." Hazuki informed.
"Keycards, sounds like those guys could use a break from carrying them around." Sun joked.
"Not to mention going up for the top head himself, thank you for the info, Hazuki." Mei thanked.
"No problem, I'll keep you posted if I learn anything new." Hazuki said before hanging up.
"Okay, now to see what this baby has in its diaper." Sun rubbed his hands together and just realize something.
"Okay, that was just about the stupidest thing I have ever said." Sun cursed himself for saying that out loud.
"Worry about it later, open the vault before any more guards show up." Mei said while she is on lookout.
Sun careful place his right hand close to the combination dial and waited for a second to hear from Oscar about the code.
"Okay, this code had a bit of a tongue twister. Dial in 1-4-7." Oscar said.
Sun dial in the three code numbers and open the vault revealing two pieces of paper as he took them out.
"Hey, this one is another page the Wukong Tricks of Thieves." Sun excited.
"Wonderful, Master." Mei clapped her hands.
"This contains the information on Lady Sabrina Wukong. She created her own illusion that makes her teleported from one spot to another which can also help sneak around tight places." Oscar read the page.
"Teleport from one spot, huh? That's very interesting." Sun said looking forward to trying this skill out soon.
"Master, what about the other paper?" Mei asked.
"Uh, I think this is something we definitely need." Sun believed.
"Right in the bullseye, big brother! That sheet contains all the plans of Shady's guns and bullets operation. I can analyze this into my computer, and we'll know what we want to know." Oscar explained.
"That's great, can you tell us where the main computer for the factory is?" Sun asked.
"Give me a sec." Oscar said and literally three seconds later.
"Got it, the main computer is in one room about 40 feet away in a hallway to the east side." Oscar informed his adoptive big brother and Mei.
"Alright, we'll get there right away." Sun said.
"Let's not forget about three guards with the keycard if we want to go see Shady." Mei reminded of the other task.
"Got it, now let's go." Sun nodded before he placed the calling card into the vault.
Sun and Mei made their way through the high platform finding another staircase leading back down to the floor level where they saw a couple of muscle men standing guard of the east hallway, Mei said that they should attack them from both sides taking two guards out at the same time. This gave the Golden Monkey Thief the chance to use the new skill he just learned from the page and concentrate on how the move is done, he jumps up for a few feet and he is instantly right next to one guard without him even realizing it. Once they're in position, Sun and Mei each took down one guard knocking them into each other then store them inside an empty wooden and closing it up.
"Okay, the computer should be in this hallway." Mei whispered.
They arrive at the door where the computer should be there and as expected it is lock from the inside, that wasn't a problem for Sun once he starts picking the lock and they enter the room where the computer is.
"Okay Mei, get to work." Sun ordered.
"On it, Master." Mei started typing on the computer and plunged in a hard drive that connects to Oscar's computer so he can help with the hacking.
"Huh, Shady should have at least hired a guy who knows how to build a firewall because breaking into this system is child's play." Oscar insulted Shady's lack of computer security.
"This won't take long, right?" Sun asked.
"Fear not, Master. The hacking will be finished any minute now." Mei said as she continues typing on the computer.
And just one minute later, Mei pressed one button for the last time with the Wukong symbol appearing on the screen.
"Okay, the system has been hacked and Shady's operation will be shut down right about now." Oscar said with a smirk.
Back at the bullet making factory room, all the machines have just down as most were in the middle of making new bullets, then some of circuits in the machines started blowing up though not enough to cause a fire, but the smoke made the water sprinklers active.
"Hey! What the fuck is going on down there?!" Shady's voice yelled through the speaker boxes.
"The bullet products has suddenly stop all at once, if this is a prank then you won't find me laughing at this. Fix the operation now or else you guys will be finding yourselves hanging from a tree with the rope around your necks, you all fucking got that!" Shady threatened his men before turning off the speaker boxes.
"Man, that guy sure has a 'shooting' tempter." Sun punned.
"No doubt security will increase because of what we did to the factory, but that also means Shady won't be far to reach now." Mei grinned.
"Great, now all that's left are those keycards and is up to the boss fight." Sun excited.
Before they leave the computer room, Sun left behind the Wukong calling card on the keyboard just the make the guards feel like idiots, and then they quickly leave to find the three top guards.
They made their way to through a long hallway until they reach a room where they found one guard though he appears to be more serious looking than the others, Sun and Mei enter the room and gently closes the door.
The guard's instinct kicks in warning him about something has just enter the room and turns around aiming its pointy hammer at the door but found no one there wondering if it just his imagination. Unknown to him, Sun and Mei are hiding under the furniture being very quiet as they are cautious of the guard being on high alert and knew this won't be easy as Sun use the sound skill to distract the guard at the door.
Sun sneaks out from under a table and quietly make his way to the tough guard to smack it on the back with his staff which the guard quickly respond by swinging his hammer around, Sun jumps above it and swing down his staff on the head. Mei quickly enters the fray as she threw some strong kicks of her own on the stomach and side, but the guard didn't seem to feel mostly of those strikes and threw a punch at her though she dodges them.
The guard quickly took out his walkie-talkie to call about the intruders, but Sun swing his staff knocking the walkie-talkie away breaking it into pieces when it crashes onto a wall.
"Sorry pal, but this is a private party." Sun said.
The guard became angry and swing his hammer at Sun which he parries it away with his staff keeping the big guy on him for Mei to strike at the kneecap on the right leg forcing the guard down on one knee, this pain of distraction gave Sun the chance to barrage strike him with his taff on the shoulders and head. The guard tries to endure the attacks as much as he can and swing his hammer again, but Mei didn't let that happen as she hand strike the wrist forcing him to let the hammer drop to the floor as Sun landed another strike.
"Fuck… you idiots are going to pay for that!" The guard angered and threw a punch at Mei.
"The only one who is an idiot is…" Mei countered the punch by grabbing the arm and judo throw him hard onto the floor. "Is you."
Sun landed the final blow with a strong punch to the head fully knocking the guard out cold.
"And for the moment of truth." Sun searched through the guard's pockets and found one keycard.
"One keycard acquired." Sun smirked.
"And only two more to go, let's go." Mei said and she notice something on the guard.
"Wait, Master. I think he has something else." Mei reached into the other pocket taking out a piece of paper.
"It looks like another code for another vault. Perhaps this might be the last one for the heist." Mei said.
"Then we better go find it along with the third keycard." Sun suggested.
The two sat the guard down on the couch with his arms cross to make it look like he is falling asleep on the job.
They continue exploring the fortress until they found another guard standing in front of one room and glaring at the hallways scary.
"Umm, I think that room might be important." Mei believed.
"Then let see what he is hiding." Sun said before using the illusion teleport skill to appear next to the guard.
"What the fuck?" That was all the guard could say before Sun slammed one end of his staff against the guard's stomach making him stumble backward.
Mei comes up from behind jumping up and leg lock the guard's head as he struggles to get the woman off because Sun keeps smacking his staff on his arms so the guard wouldn't try reaching for Mei to get her off, the thief helper in red squeezes her legs together tighter on the neck until the guard is blue in the face and fell unconscious for the lack of air.
"Man, I think Hazuki would be better doing these kinds of wrestling holds." Mei panted a bit.
"You did great and that's what counts." Sun said and got the keycard from the guard.
"Okay, one last keycard and Shady will be having a bad day in the woods." Sun determined.
"I believe the last guard with the keycard should be close to where the path to Shady's floor." Mei believed.
"Then let's go find him." Sun said.
Soon, they found the third and final guard that need to beat down as they see him marching back and forth about ten feet to stand guard in front of a crow statue made of gold.
"Guess this guy must be a bird lover to have that guy guarding it." Sun commented.
"Shady must like crows because of how some say are the kinds of birds that just go and take anything they can get their little talons on without a care." Mei stated.
"Well, that crow is your ticket to Shady himself. My x-ray scanner has revealed to him that behind the crow statue is the elevator that leads straight to Shady's personal floor." Oscar informed.
"Best news I have ever heard, little bro." Sun smiled.
Sun took a small ball from his back pocket and threw it at the guard right on the face as it explodes into powder when it made impact on the guard.
"Huh, who did that?" The guard demanded as he wipe the powder off his eyes.
"Nothing you need to worry about, dude." Sun charged at the guard and swipe him off his feet.
The guard quickly got back up swinging his pointy hammer at the monkey thief as his staff has the longer reach advantage for Sun to swing his staff fiercely at the guard, Mei jumps in for a swing kick across the face. Mei ran around and behind the guard to use his unbalance momentum to throw him over herself making the guard fall on his head, he groans in pain from the impact and tries to get back up, but Sun slammed his staff on the stomach before he could move a finger and Mei knocking him out for a stomp on the head.
"Okay, that should be the last guard to deal with." Mei hoped.
"And the prize is… a keycard." Sun said playfully while holding up the keycard in his hand.
"Oh, and what do we have here?" Sun looked at one hallway seeing a vault at the end.
"Looks like we got two things from this." Sun walked to the vault with Mei behind.
So far, there aren't any security traps going off meaning Shady must have some confident that no one would try to steal from him would make it this far, no one except the Golden Monkey Thief who managed to take down his gun selling operation along the way.
"Okay Oscar found the vault. Did you hack that code?" Sun asked.
"Please, I could figure out this one in my sleep. Dial in 3-0-8." Oscar said.
Sun dials the numbers of the code and open the vault revealing to be another page from the Wukong Tricks of Thieves.
"Awesome! Another page from my family's book." Sun thrilled.
"Amazing, this page speaks about Jacky Pow Wukong. He developed a very fast sidestep technique that allows him to move fast like his feet were sliding on a slippery floor and can do it between left and right too." Oscar amazed as he read the page.
"Nice, can't wait to try this out." Sun excited as he places the page in his backpack along with the other pages he found and placed the calling card inside the vault.
Sun and Mei quickly made their way to the golden crow statue, they use all three keycards on the three scanner pads which causes the statue's head to raise up and open the wings revealing the elevator inside just like Oscar said.
"This is it, Master. We're about to face one of the Sacred Darkness Five." Mei said.
"I know, I waited ten long years for this and I'm not backing down from it now." Sun clutched onto his family's staff hard.
"Now, it's finally time for the first step of avenging my father and restore my family's thieving honor." Sun determined.
The elevator arrived and they enter inside, Mei pressed the button, and the door closes as it takes them up to face Shady face to face.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Sun and Mei managed to find more of the Wukong Tricks of Thieving pages while taking down Shady's firepower operation with the bullets no longer being made, and now they are finally going to face Shady himself to fight the Sacred Darkness Five and Sun will need the new skills he learned to survive this battle.
