Chapter 13:
A Devil's Mercenary
The darkness only secluded Kazi more as she waited in the silent darkness. Kazi wore black, black leather that was stretched slightly to her skin. She waited in the hall for about two more long minutes and was finally told that he was ready. Kazi walked into the dark room, the only light was the streetlights below and the city lights. A large desk sat at the opposite end of the door. A tall dark man stood facing the floor to ceiling windows. He didn't speak. Kazi closed the door behind her and lifted her hood down. She walked a few paces and the stopped.
"You're here." the man said. Kazi nodded,
"Down to business if you don't mind." The man chuckled and turned, looking Kazi dead in the face.
"If you insist." he walked to the desk and stood there.
"Mission, Mr. Mishima?"
"Kazuya. Just Kazuya." he said starring through her eyes, a bright red glowing through the darkness. "Your mission, Get into the X-Gene Facility and find the file labeled 'Devil gene'." Kazi listened intently, fiddling with her butterfly knife. Kazuya continued, "Secure the file and bring it back." Kazi knew something else was up, that couldn't be it.
"X-Gene Facility, huh? Never heard of it. It's probably guarded like Fort Knox." Kazuya remained silent. Kazi shook her head.
"So you think it's impossible?" Kazuya cocked.
"Nothing is impossible." Kazi smirked.
"Now what kind of name is 'Hell Hawk'?" Kazuya half grinned.
"I could say the same for you." Kazi kept her little smile.
"I don't usually like people, but in your case," he paused, "I'll make an exception." Kazuya turned back to the window and left Kazi to her job.

The darkness crawled over the cobblestone streets as Kazi made her way quietly to nowhere in particular.... at that moment. The winding cobblestones of Germany led Kazi to meet some people she hadn't seen in about four or five years. A lady waved.
"Guten tag. Good day. " Kazi said waving back. It didn't take her long to find the X-Gene Facility at all. The sun had died around an hour ago as Kazi waited in the forest watching and waiting until near midnight. Kazi pulled the butterfly knife and started to clean her fingernails with it, waiting impatiently.

The window creaked open and Kazi slid through. She slumped to the floor avoiding all light. It was midnight, in the middle of nowhere near Frankfurt, Germany. Kazi quickly made her way through the shadows and to a small room. She used the butterfly knife to pry open the vent caging and climbed up into the vent closing it behind her. With the knife between her teeth, Kazi crawled silently twisting and turning through the winding vents, looking through each caging to find what she was looking for. 'To easy.' She thought as she pried open a certain vent cage and slipped into the room. She rumpled through the files finding nothing on 'Devil Gene' as it was so called. She searched another cabinet. After a while of searching, Kazi found the folder, 'It's about damn time.' She thought.
Kazi suddenly sensed another presence within the room. She gathered her self a little and whipped around aiming a punch. The person blocked it and brought down a sword. Kazi caught it with both hands and looked the person straight in the eyes. The person brought an identical slightly curved sword from the side. As it came, Kazi jumped up and landed on it, still holding the other. The person yanked then away slicing Kazi's hand open. She flipped backwards and got in stance. The person suddenly lunged forward and straight at Kazi. She deflected the blades made of a type of titanium alloy, that she know had seen some where before. One edge of the blade was a golden-dipped jagged line and the other edge was probably an imitation of red metallic flames. She caught glimpse of the person's face. 'A girl.' She thought. Kazi and the girl heard a noise and turned to the door. The door burst open and flew off of its hinges. Lei and Denise stood within the doorway, guns in hand ready to fire at will. The two girls stopped dead.
"Heh heh heh." Lei laughed, "You really think you'll get away this time?"
"But of course." Kazi smirked, "Don't I always?" The girl looked at Kazi and Kazi winked and nodded her head to the side.
"Ok, come now and there won't be any damage." Denise said. Kazi grinned.
"One..... Two..... Three......" Kazi whispered, "RUN!" She yelled. The girl understood and they both split out the windows and ran. Kazi and the girl stuck together and ran as Lei and Denise ran after them, firing a line of bullets and shooting Kazi in the shoulder in the meantime. 'Luck.... Come on all I need is your Luck Dark Angel....'
