BLADE'S MISSION
*****
*What could have Flash so worried?* Blade thought as he walked toward the Doc's lab.
Doctor Z, as he liked to be called, was a senile old man that showed up out of the blue several years ago. He claims to be a scientific genius. The Team figured him for a nut and tried to get him out of their secret base by stranding him in the desert but he proved to be stubborn and valuable and was kept on the team for technical support. Everyone called him "Old Man."
"Acckk!" His thoughts were interrupted when someone tackled him from behind, throwing their arms around his neck in a tight hug. He turned his head and saw two blue buns with braids. "Hey Echo." He said cheerily.
Echo grinned and nuzzled him with her cheek. "Did Blade bring Echo presents?" she squeaked in her broken little-kid speech she always spoke in.
"Wellllll. . ." he said uncertainly. Echo made puppy eyes at him. He grinned and winked. He pulled out a silver ring with a blue gemstone from a hidden pocket. He had found it lying on the control panel at the base he broke into that evening. Echo squealed and snatched the ring from Blade. She slipped it onto her finger and admired it.
"Pretty! And it's blue!" She lunged and glomped him full force. "Blade is so nice!"
"Your welcome! Now, if you'll excuse me. . ." He slipped pass Echo, who began to dote on the ring again, and headed toward the Old Man's place.
Upon entering the lab, Blade saw the Old Man and his Team leader. Lucky turned and smiled when she saw him.
"'Sup. Good haul?" she asked.
"Dunno. When Twilight's finished downloading we'll know what we have."
"Cool," Lucky jerked her head toward Dr. Z. "He says he found some nut jobs messing around with a machine that can open a portal to another planet."
Blade looked at Dr. Z with a raised eyebrow. "No kiddin?"
"You heard the lady," he answered, readjusting his small, round sunglasses on his nose. He was a little miffed that Lucky got to explain the gist of it. Dr. Z wore a white lab coat and had wild gray hair that frizzed out in all directions. "I've been keeping a close eye on this organization, and I've found that they've been experimenting with different kinds of teleportation. Apparently, they're trying to find a way to get to the planet Earth."
"Earth?" Blade's eyes widened. "You mean, the planet where humans came from?"
"That's right."
"Is the public aware of this?"
"The public doesn't have a clue," answered Lucky. "These nut jobs have a rep of doing things that aren't exactly legal."
"Huh. So why should we be interested?"
"Haven't I taught you anything?" Lucky snapped. "We may not know exactly what they're after, but if it's anything valuable then we had better be there to swipe it!"
Blade raised an eyebrow slyly. "So you want me to sneak in to find out what they're after, right?"
"You got it."
"When?"
"What's good for you?"
*****
"I've spent millions on your little project and what do have to show for it?! Reports of a strange light all across Zi and a slew of guinea pigs with severe amnesia! I should just cut off the funding while I can!"
"S-sir, please give us a chance! It's getting better with every tests, and, uhhh, the testers are getting better. . ."
"From what my associates tell me, the effected testers won't respond to anything, not even their own comrades. . ."
*Too easy* Blade thought to himself.
He and Tsume sat in rafters, watching the scared spit less scientists talking to an ominous figure on a large computer screen. Now if only one of them who let it slip as to what they were after. . .
"Even if you do find a way to the mother planet, I doubt you'll be able to find a way to harness the god-like forces monitored there."
*HEL-lo*
A sudden explosion shook the ground.
"What was that?" demanded the voice on the screen. A guard rushed in.
"Several unidentified Zoids have been spotted outside the facility! We're trying to drive them off but they're retaliating!"
Blade swore to himself. His Team was to wait for him, and to attack if there was trouble.
"Up there! An intruder!"
Blade double swore. He and Tsume jumped to the floor and began to run as guns fired behind him. Bullets ricocheted off the walls behind him. They continued running down twisting hallways, until Blade swerved into a large room that someone had left the door open to.
*Crap! Dead end!*
Something then caught his eye. A large doorframe that was hooked up to a machine stood in the middle of the room. A bright blue light shone from the doorway. Some idiot actually left the portal on. The light seemed familiar to Blade. Voices closed in from behind.
~What do you think partner?~
Tsume let Blade know that she didn't want to become scrap metal just yet. Blade looked at the portal.
~This seems to be the only way out buddy. When they don't find us I'm sure they'll figure it out. And we've got Twilight, and the Old Man. They can figure out a way to get us.~
Tsume agreed, and together they leapt through the portal. . .
*****
"Unnnthhh"
Blade groaned and rubbed his eyes. He was lying on concrete, he could tell that much. Something nudged his arm and a worried tone could be heard in his head.
"Tsume?"
Tsume confirmed that his memory was still working.
"Memory? Oh, CRAP! The amnesia! Wait. My name is Blade, Tokyo Ready, Zoids, Tsume. . . I guess I can still remember everything. . ."
Tsume was very happy about that.
~So, where are we partner?~ he asked telepathically.
Tsume let him know that they were on a planet that didn't seem like Zi at all, but had humans on it, so she concluded that they were on Earth.
~Earth? Really?~
Tsume asked if she'd ever lie to him.
~Of course not buddy! Now, you think I could fit in with the locals?~
Tsume said that the daggers would look suspicious.
~Your kidding. Well, alright. You can hold onto them for me.~
Blade took off his belts and handed them to Tsume. He looked around the corner at the pedestrians walking by. He smoothly melded into the main stream and walked down the sidewalk as if he had lived there his whole life. (Irony people, irony.) He knew that Tsume was watching his every move from the shadows, just in case he called. Blade looked around at all the signs and advertisements.
*I'm definitely NOT on Zi anymore. No Zoid ads anywhere. What do these people LIVE for?*
Something small on the street caught his eye. A small girl had apparently lost her balloon and was chasing after it as it floated out into the street. Blade then saw a speeding car that was headed right towards her, and the driver didn't seem to see her. No one seemed to see it all happening except for him.
"HEY! GET OUT OF THE WAY KID!!"
Blade dashed out into the street with the speed possible only by training and practice to become an expert thief. Just as he was about there, the car finally noticed and slammed on the brakes. Blade lunged and pushed the girl out of the way.
The last few moments he remembered was the fender hitting him, shattering several ribs and some bones in his arm, the sound of glass breaking, and several screams.
The most interesting screams were that of a few individuals shouting: "YUGI!!"
*****
Me: phew! Glad I finally updated something! Yeah, it was a little fast paced, but I really wanted to get to the main story.
Sandy: R&R! Onegai shimasu!
Me: and check out my one shot ficcie The Human Tiger! I haven't gotten any reviews for it yet! *sob*
Later!!!
Sandy: Yeah, we haven't really updated in a while. Heh, heh. . .
