To Break the Chain
Kohari: Ya know what? This is sad. This story is my favorite of all the ones I've been writing, and yet, it has the least reviews. With the exception of "Max and Tyson's 4th July Adventure," "Note on Your Doorstep", and "Dream I Had 1 Nite," which were all one-shots and the last of which was the inspiration for this. I feel bad. And stupid. I feel like Kuwabara (sorry, Kuwabara fans). Those of you who are reading this and not reviewing...you're really messing up my self-esteem. --mood swing-- YOU BETTER REVIEW THIS TIME OR I SWEAR I'LL -
Hiei: --clamps hand over her mouth-- Shut...up...
Kohari: Okay.
Yusuke: Haha! Hiei likes being the one to dole out the death threats. Kohari wasn't even serious.
Kurama: She doesn't own YYH, either...
Kohari: Let's just get this thing going, shall we?
Chapter 5
Construction had begun on the new base. They had decided instead of just remodeling the mall, they would demolish it and build their super-cool, high-tech, bad-ass base over the remains.
With Hiei's death threats (Yusuke: Told Ya!) ringing in their ears, the soldiers went to work immediately. Amazingly, they had to finish the job within twenty-four hours. Luckily for them, there were a whole lot of traitors in Hiei's force.
20,000 beige jumpsuit uniforms with burgundy flames imprinted on the back worked in unison to put the iron bars, wires, restrooms, and pipes in place. Hiei hadn't approved of the uniforms, saying they were tacky, hideous, and reminded him of "Kuwabaka" in their lack of style. However, they were cheap, and nobody was going to argue. True, the uniforms were ugly, but not nearly as repulsive as Hiei's attitude toward them. But none of them were brave enough, or that moronic, to tell the apparition that to his face. They all wanted to live, thank you, even if it was in a sort of Hell on Earth.
They succeeded in their deed, defying time calculations and all else. Interestingly enough, you can accomplish miracles when your life is on the line, huh?
The safey-glass doors slid open automatically, allowing the new world leader in, cape flapping around behind him in the wind, and two bodyguards at his side. Not that he'd need them. It just looked more intimidating to rebellious peasants.
His boots echoed through the halls as he passed, the workers scattering to hide behind various objects, praying that Hiei liked the job. If not, then Hiei would be furious. And when Hiei became mad, he took it out on the nearest object. In any way possible. His preference was destruction. Complete and total destruction.
He slowly made his way around the base. It was made to be like...imagine a bubble wand (A/n: No, I didn't steal that from Harry Potter, which I do not own. It was just the first thing that came to mind to help you see it in your mind.). That was similar in shape and design from an aerial point of view, only the straight portion was probably a mile in width, and the rest to similar proportions. As to how long it was from the entrance to the circle, where all the computers were (and yes, there was a big hole in the middle of the non-cornered shape, looking at it from the sky), let's just say, it's a lot of walking.
Soldiers peered behind glass windows, corners of walls, and everything else. But they couldn't see past Hiei's usual expression: a scowl. Was it a good thing? Had they done wrong, or was it perfect? Not that Hiei would ever admit that they had ever done anything to perfection.
Hiei's inspection went without casualties, and nothing was destroyed. The physical appearance to the base was tolerable, according to his words. As for the purpose, it would suit it well enough.
A probe had tracked every step the apparition had taken, recording his every movement, every breath. The Blitz and Team Urameshi were getting every detail on this new base, with plans to infiltrate it as soon as possible and wipe it off the map. As annihilate the thing. The mini-camera remained long after the former member of the team had left. Somehow, Todd and the rest knew that Hiei had been well aware of their probe's presence.
It mattered not. The team took this opportunity to scope out the place. It was built exquisitely, and some of them awed at the excellent quality that had been achieved even with the short amount of time they had been given.
The camera zoomed into the control room, transmitting its findings to the Urameshi crew. Buttons, computers, and the like lined the room, serving for decoration and working purposes. Nothing was labeled, so they didn't know what any of the many levers, buttons, and files would do. It had been too much to hope for...the probe being able to switch on the self-destruct activators. But they hadn't really thought they'd find anything like that anyway. All things they needed to find, the humans would need to go in an seek for themselves.
The probe returned to its headquarters. The members of the Urameshi team complimented its size and abilities. It was high-quality stuff. Certainly up-to-date technology.
"So who made this thing?" Yusuke asked, holding the little-bigger-than-a-speck-sized camera in the palm of his hand, rolling it over in his hand, and looking at the huge screen nearby to see all that it had captured.
"An important member of our team," Todd answered. Kohari nodded.
"Don't know what we'd do without him," she agreed.
"Who?" Kuwabara pressed.
"I admit, I am curious as well," Kurama remarked. Some feeling made them all then turn toward the door at that moment.
Their stares were met with blood-red eyes, glaring from the shadows of the doorway. A boy stepped into the light of the room.
"I am," he said plainly and mysteriously. Was there an evil tone to his voice? Or were they mistaken?
Kohari: Ooooh. Scary! Not. Yes, we have a new character, thanks to Bar-Ohki! You rule! Thank you for this awesome character. You get a cookie! --gives cookie--. Review for me! Next chapter coming soon!
