Chapter 1: Night of the Black Dragon

"Plug-In!"

In the net, there came the sudden roaring of a huge dragon. The net was shaken up by the roar, and navis fled, in the hopes not to be deleted.

"This is too easy..." the operator laughed horsely. It was hard to see him, the area was dark. And he was faced away from what little light was coming into the area.

A huge dragon shot into the skies of the net, long, black, and majestic, but at the same time, very dangerous. The long snout extended to face the cybernetic lock, a strange security system.

The security system was for good reason. As it would happen, the operator was inside of the Scientific Research Factory of Akihara City. And stored inside...

Ah, the man smiled, thinking of it. Just what boss wanted. That brilliant peace of work. The only nuclear device to have survived intact for all these years, and in only a few moments, it would be his...

That bomb, that had been stored in the depth of the vaults, way under the Scientific Research Factory. It was supposed to have been well protected, security around it for miles. And, indeed, they should have seen this man.

"But they never see me" the man thought to himself, smiling. "Blow up the lock, and let's get out of here..."

There was another roar from the dragon. In the net, a huge blast of dark flame shot out of the mouth of the dragon, shooting along the ground.

Very quickly, it reached the strange lock system. The edges began to burn, crisping, smoke rising high into the net. But the dragon was hearing something else, a low, low, ticking sound.

"Plug-out..." the cloaked man laughed, pulling his dragonic navi back out. As he did, the security lock exploded, a deadly wave shooting in all directions. As it hit the generic navis who had been guarding it, they were deleted instantly.

The man laughed again, as the small safe swung open. And there, inside, only the size of a can of soda, it sat inside the dusty chamber.

The man grabbed it. A small ringing sounded in his ear. The man tapped the headpiece, activating it.

"I have it, sir" the man smiled.

"Excellent work, Hiei. I would expect nothing less from you. Now get out" the harsh, male, deep voice commanded. Truly the kind of voice for a harsh leader, Hiei thought. But he had commanded him. That was rare...

"Will do. Over and out" Hiei tapped the headpiece, and turned.

Hiei was somewhat short for the prime of his life, only 25. At only 5 feet tall, he was somewhat short, but it didn't bother him. In his mind, it made him a smaller target, which was good.

Hiei's body wasn't really meant for combat, it was more lithe and nimble. He was quite skinny, perhaps thinner then some supermodels. His body was incredibly flexible, he had been in places that most people had never even thought of as being usefull. To that extent, he was like a spider, finding his way around on almost any surface.

Hiei had mature features, and messy black hair that he had tried to cut short. He wasn't good at that, unfortunatly, and it turned out to look quite unruly, and quite unfitting of him.

Hiei had experience in his field of work. Assassin, Hacker, you name it, he could do it, usually with none to minimal training. So it took a lot of money to hire out this man, and only one man had the kinds of rewards that Hiei was looking for in his work. Money, the occasional cigarette, and any girl he could want.

Hiei looked around. He had a dark shirt on, which was actually hiding a bulletproof vest that was working quite well for him, he had found. Not that he had ever been seen. Also, there was a pair of rough black pants that didn't hide very much, but they were comfortable for him, as well as a normal-seeming wristwatch on his right wrist. Of course, in this buisness, something like that is almost never as normal as just 'A watch'. Just like the sunglasses he was wearing.

Hiei smiled. Ah, the alarm system would take a while before those stupid people even realized it had been down. Of course, having gassed the entire building first was going to stall them even longer. Hiei grabbed the semi- automatic pistol from it's holster at his side, and took off running, down the hallway. There was a shout.

"Hey! You! Hold it!"

Hiei looked around. He was on a bridge, over a huge area of piping and wires, that were used for power and water supplies. The Scientific Labs here also worked on the water systems here, the power plant, everything. Hiei laughed, looking and judging his position for a few moments.

There were footsteps over to one side. A few of the guards were running, taking aim. "Drop it, now!"

Hiei smirked. He extended his arm, and in an imitation of spiderman, a hookshot came out of his watch. It latched onto one of the power cords with a little claw, and Hiei jumped, swinging across.

Shots were opened up from machine guns towards Hiei. One tapped the back of his vest. It didn't bother Hiei.

As the rope ended, Hiei tapped his wristwatch, and the cable retracted itself, sending Hiei flying. He landed sternly on top of a red-hot piping.

Giving a small shout, Hiei dove for a platform just next to him, barely catching the edge.

Hiei clung to the edge, and pulled himself through the thin railings, to the surprised guards. The firing didn't stop, and one stray bullet nicked the steel by Hiei's foot.

Then Hiei heard the pipe puncture.

The constant thud of denting, then a pop as the pipe split. All of a sudden, the pressure was released, and a torrent of water cascaded to the floor, hitting power wires. A huge flash of light for a moment, then the power was totally off.

"Where'd he go?" the guards shouting, confused by the sound of the water and the sudden darkness.

"I don't know..." one of the guards swung round, as he continued to fire.

There were shouts from some of the guards, as they were hit by stray shots.

"Hold your fire, asses!" one shouted. A couple splashes, as dead bodies fell into the water below. The place was beginning to flood.

"Gotta move..." Hiei smiled. He tapped the edge of his sunglasses, and instantly, the mix of infra-red and sonar technology that Hiei loves was active. Far to the side, were the red bodies of the arguing officers.

And below, in Hiei's vision, like magma, was the boiling-hot water. Hiei smiled.

"Well, they'll never find a trace if this place is up in smoke!" Hiei laughed, raising his wristwatch again, and clamping onto the cieling, just above the pathway that lead to the elevator. Well, it was down... He could find another way.

Hiei was pulled up by the grappling hook, and landed square on the path, walking over to the elevator. He plugged his PET in.

The net was totally black, and the dragon didn't even show up.

"Turn the power on here" Hiei instructed.

The dragon emitted a blast of yellow breath. It was transferring out energy. The whirr and hum of the elevator resumed.

The elevator started to come down. A couple moments, later, the door swung open. Two armed guards walked out.

"Where is he? What's going on?" the man looked around, but he couldn't see.

Suddenly, Hiei pulled himself over the railing again, kicking one of the two soliders flat in the chest. The force sent him flailing over the railing, causing him to fall over the railing. He barely caught hold with one hand. The gun dropped way down.

"Who's there?" the other guard caught the bare sight of Hiei in the light from the elevator, before he found a rough hand at his throat, then he was flipped right over the edge, right next to his partner.

Hiei grabbed the partner's hand, and put his wristwatch band, on the inside of Hiei's wrist, up against the man's knuckles. Tapping a button, spikes shot out, and he dragged it along the man's knuckles.

The man shouted, his hand bloody, and he fell. As he began his fall, his partner hit the water.

Screams echoed throughout the chamber. The boiling water and the electrocution would kill anybody who touched it for more then a few moments, never mind being submerged in it! Hiei laughed, before grabbing the elevator, and hitting the up button.

As the elevator rose, Hiei heard the sounds of footsteps on the roof. The lock on the door of the roof jingled.

Hiei smiled, and tapped his wristwatch agian, taking aim. A red-hot laser shot out, melting the lock to the steel.

The pounding on the elevator's roof became urgent. Hiei smiled. There'd be no chance of them getting off! The elevator shaft's roof was at the main floor.

There was a scream, as Hiei saw the meter indicating that he was nearing the destination.

"I can't open it... Oh my god!" a voice shouted from above.

There was a sickening crunch, and the elevator stopped, still humming. It wouldn't be able to get up any further.

Blood dripped down the cracks of the access portal, one landing on Hiei's forehead as he looked up. He moved himself a bit, and caught a drip on his tounge.

Hiei smiled, as the blood almost became as constant as a rain. He grabbed his wristwatch again, and pointed the laser to the door, cutting a wide hole in it. As the rim was red hot, Hiei pulled a small, glass tube from the inside of his pants, pulled the safety release in the same movement, and kicked down the hole, throwing the tube inside, before ducking into a corner, and covering his eyes.

There was a brilliant flash, even through Hiei's arms and eyes. That level of brightness was like a miniature sun, they would never see again.

A couple moments later, Hiei uncovered his eyes, and took off again, down a corridor. He could see the guards around him, but they were too busy with their own eyes to notice him.

Hiei kicked down the front door, his sensors instantly picking up the enemy signatures. Hiei laughed at the small silencer on his gun, and fired, with almost perfect accuracy, dropping the two in his sight.

Carefully, almost not making a sound, he crept through the door. It was dark in the main foyer, and a few citizens were screaming. Oh well. They had better run, Hiei figured, because this catastrophe is going to cost the government millions. Billions. Trillions of Zenny.

Hiei looked. Ah, yes, nobody had thought to pull up the curtains ye...

As if on cue with that, the huge drapes that covered the front windows of the building were pulled back. Sunlight flooded into the building, and the people looked madly around. There was no sign of Hiei.

Hiei was hiding among the girders at the top of the building. He walked stealthily along them, until he reached one point, near the front. He grabbed at one of the panels of the roof, and, discovered, quite as he had been expecting, that it was loose. As the people panicked around below, Hiei pulled off the panel just slightly, pulled himself through, and covered it up.

Hiei now stood on the roof of the building. The wind was choppy, whirrling, because of an active helicopter beside Hiei. A police helicopter. It was empty.

Hiei ran over, plugging in his navi to the system, and shutting the door.

The dragon appeared again. A generic navi covered.

"What do you want?" the navi asked.

"Give me control of this thing!" Hiei answered.

"I can't do that, si... ARGH!" the navi was chomped down by the dragon, gone in one piece.

"Well, yes you can..." Hiei laughed, grabbing at the control stick. Turning a key, the helicopter's blades whirred faster, and it lifted off the ground. Hiei held onto the control stick, and pushed it forwards.

Another ringing in Hiei's ear. He tapped the headpeace.

"Mission accomplished. Excellent work, Hiei. What you've done here is much more then expected. I commend you, a rare thing indeed. Return to base" the voice commanded.

"Thank you, sir!" Hiei smiled, before the communication ended. He turned the helicopter in the general direction of Akihara, and the helicopter shot through the air.

"Mission accomplished" Hiei repeated to himself.
