23: Geared Up So Let's Go
Disclaimer: What am I going to say next children? (Random child raises his hand).
Child: That you don't own Beyblade.
Correct, one gold star. If children can get it so can you, I don't own Beyblade.
Kai: I never knew you could sing Kat.
Kat: Nor did I.
Emma: I just felt like writing it, your going to be doing more from now on Kat. You wanna sing Kai?
Kai: What, me sing, I barely speak so sing…What the hell are you thinking?
Emma: I was just asking. Now, Kai, weren't you planning on killing me and Kat?
Kai: I still am. (Glances up at a 1 ton block of metal above his head with the rope slowly being burned away by a candle. No one noticed it). I think I might just go get something to eat. (Walk off whistling innocently).
Kat and Emma: Ok. (The rope snaps).
Kat: (Whispers). You did see that ton weight above our head right?
Emma: Yeah, why.
Kat: I hate being an Anime character. It's just landed on my head. (Falls over in pain with weigh on top of he).
Emma: (Shrugs). She's had worse.
Thanks to Kai Phoenic (again). Wow, you read all up to 22. I salute you and thank you for your review and nerve to read it all. And yeah, half of the characters are in SS. I just use them again and again. I create new ones now and then though; I just have to put then into the story. WOTW is more dangerous and I think of SS as a little time off for Kat and the gang from this.. Thanks again.
Kat sighed before looking up at Jay.
''Ok, that's my part of the bargain, now I want my weapons. Oh, and does Elisa still live here?'' The smirk on her face made Kai feel slightly uneasy.
''Of course she does, she's my pride and joy.'' Jay said smirking. ''Now what do you want, your normal gears in the cupboard in there, clean since your used it a few weeks ago.'' He said.
''Right, I've already got my hand guns and sword, but I also would like BT mini timer bombs, more bullets for these guys and that machine gun you showed me last time with all the works, daggers if you've got any spare that you don't mind getting dirty and the Ninja set up pack, you know, smoke screens, poison gas and the mask to go with it, skeleton key and the other works. Kai can have the same but without the bombs and Ninja pack.'' Jay nodded.
''Long list this time, must really mean business.'' Kat nodded.
''I do.''
''Right-e-oh, Kitty, it'll be read in a minute.'' Kat nodded.
''I'll be back soon Kai.'' And walked off to get her stuff again.
Kai's POV.
This is stranger than watching Tyson eat. To think that a girl of my age can just pile that entire list up and to be understood as well, it amazes me. She shouldn't know stuff like that, it's unfair on her part, her life has been so hard she's had to use all that stuff for protection, for her own life to survive. But then again she's been doing this for a living since she was ten because she had to, and this time she has a reason to do it. Even so, she shouldn't be doing this.
This time though my word will do nothing to her. She's only just become a team member and can bunk out just as easily. And besides she is the one that knows all this stuff about weaponry and I think I'm out matched by far in that area. I guess I'm going to have to just live with it. I wonder who this Elisa person is, that's why Kat must have smirked when Cassy told her her friends name was Elisa. I guess I'll find out. I just wish Kat wouldn't throw her life away so easily, she doesn't even know that I…Kai get a grip, this is only the kitty Kat. She is only, ONLY, a friend.
End Kai's POV.
Kat smirked at herself in the mirror of the side room she was in. It was a small bedroom with a cupboard and set of draws and a simple bed in it but she was using it as a dressing room at the moment. She now stood in front of the full-length mirror smiling to herself. It felt good to be back in these old things.
She now wore a total black attire. Her knee high lace up black boots had no heels and had a pouch to hold a dagger on the inside of each of her legs on the inside of them. She then wore tight black trousers with her two holsters with guns intact hanging around her waist again. Her top was a tight black long sleeve shirt and her long leather jacket, that she had wore to hide her identify from the Bladebreakers weeks before, was in her hand at the moment. This was normal Black Bandit attire that the entire organisation wore.
She nodded before picking up her other clothes and sword and walking back into the main room. Kai was still standing near the door with his mug in his hand. Kat sighed. She dumped her other stuff on the sofa's back along with her black jacket and then walked up to him and took the mug from him.
''Are you just going to stand there all night?'' She asked.
''I may as well; I've got nothing else to do.'' Kat chuckled at his words as she dumped the now cold Hot Chocolate out of his mug into the sink.
''If you're going to say that they just do it for the time being, once were geared up were going.'' She said as Jay appeared from door at the back of the room with all Kat's equipment.
''Right, I have extras too. Camera.'' He said holding up a black chocker with a silver dot on the front. ''Wear that and I'll help you out when you need it. I've got the earrings to match if you want?'' He joked and threw Kat the chocker and earrings. She quickly tied it on around her neck before putting in the microphone and receiver earrings. ''Gun plate.'' He tossed a leather cross strap item with machine gun bullets strung along it and Kat quickly put it over her head and across her chest.
''Perfect fit too.'' She mused.
''For the boy, hand guns, daggers, Bullet/Ammo Plate and the older V1 Flame Fire machine gun.'' He said walking up to Kai and dumping all the gear into his arms. He then walked over to Kat.
''And for you the new and improved Ninja Pack.'' He handed Kat a black leather waist bag that she tied so it was around her waist but on her back, two thinner straps then attached around her thighs so it wouldn't bounce so much when running and set one of the bomb within it off. ''There's two masks in that so just remember to toss your boyfriend one quick.'' He dug back into the pile in his arms. ''5 pack of BT mini timer bombs.'' He handed Kat a clip on pack that she attached to the chest plate.
''And for both of you, body armour. Bullet proof, shock absorbent and light weigh, all an assassin and her boy will need.'' He smirked in Kat's direction as he pointed to the two black body armour sets near the sofa. Kat nodded. And quickly took off her Bullet plate and then put on the body armour. She then put the plate back on.
''Not so perfect fit.'' She said getting the air squeezed out of her. She quickly righting it by loosening the buckle in the centre of the plate. She looked across at Kai.
''You want me to put that stuff on you or something? It's simple. Body armour over head and then strap on your sides and shoulders, bullet plate over head and then tighten with this buckle on the…''
''I know.'' Kai spat and quickly did it himself.
''Oh, and Mr sourpuss.'' Jay said and grabbed another leather jacket from on the back of the chair near the desk.
''Your own Coat, now I don't want this ripped, torn or in the worse case, if you die, take the coat off before you do, bloods hell to get out of the inside of it.'' He joked and flung the coat at Kai who growled as he caught it.
''Jay, quit annoying him, I wont be holding him back if he attacks you.'' Kat said and she flung her coat on as well. Then picked up her sword again and put it on over the top across her chest so it fell to the left.
''Now, the gun you said you'd give me.'' She asked smirking.
''Oh yeah, almost forgot.'' Jay said and walked quickly back into the room he had just been in at the back of the main room.
''How do you put up with him?'' Kai growled now equipped with all the items, he had now tied the dagger cases around his legs near the knees as well and everything was in place.
''I learn to laugh with him.'' Kat said putting her daggers in the slits inside her boots. Standing up right again she looked over at Kai. ''At least he still laughs.'' She said quietly.
''What do you mean?''
''He's had hard times, I'll tell you though, I can trust you. '' Kat said quietly. She began Jay's story. ''When he was even younger than he is now, he still seems to think he's only 18; he got married to a beautiful woman called Suzu, they had a kid a few years later. Then Suzu caught cancer, she didn't live through it. Jay was heartbroken, he couldn't take it, and then his uncle took him into this bandit nation, he couldn't let a kid go through it. The kid now lives with her grandfather somewhere in the world. I don't know her name or even what she looks like. Jay's got no pictures and he doesn't say any more than that to anyone, even me. I think he kinda thinks of me as a second daughter that it doesn't matter what his occupation is, I still stay here.'' Kat sighed. ''Don't tell anyone that I told you that.'' Kai nodded. Kat paused before continuing in a quiet tone.
''You sure you want to do this?'' Kai simply nodded, still partly taking in what she had just said.
''I will if it means that afterward you'll stay out of trouble.''
''My life is trouble, Kai; I can't stay out of it, if my middle name wasn't Amber it would be Trouble.'' Kat said smiling. Jay then came back in with a Machine gun slung over his shoulder. Kat smirked.
''So we meet again.'' She said directing her statement to the gun, happy to change the subject at hand.
''This ones upgraded Kat; it's the v10 Flare Fire. I hope you have fun, and please don't go crazy like before when you were sent on that other mission.'' He tossed the gun at Kat who caught it and looked it over.
''Oh, and if you want to do some long range target practise have this.'' He sad walking over to one of the walls and lifting a rifle from its hooks. Kat slung the machine gun over her back along with her sword before looking up.
''The Black Lightening. Nice.'' Kat said taking the rifle from Jay's hands. She lined it up and aimed for a spot on the wall. Her eye only a centimetre from the rifle barrel. The rifle was totally black like the Machine gun but this time, on the single barrel, it was engraved with gold lightening bolts.
''You've only got about 20 ammo with that so use it wisely, which generally means for you, I'd give it to your boy to look after.'' Jay smirked. Kai just glared at him.
''Fine.'' Kat groaned. ''Kai take this, you won't have to use it I assure you.'' She handed the rifle to Kai who took it and slung it over his shoulder by its strap.
''Right. So Elisa is in the garage and are the Black Phantoms still where they normally are?'' Kat asked.
''Yep, set up and ready to run.'' Jay said. Kat nodded.
''Jay, were heading for Mountain H.Q, west of the city. You'll find it on my old maps that you should have kept. Track us and be ready to grab Black Pearl and collect us.'' Jay nodded knowing every word she said although Kai was still confused with all the names. ''Were off then. Come on Kai, I'll see you tomorrow Jay.''
''Oh and Kat.'' Jay asked as Kat was halfway through the back door.
''You called.'' Kat replied. Her fiend looked slightly desperate.
''Pleeease, don't scratch the paint.'' Kat just rolled her eyes.
''I'll try my best not to.'' And led Kai into the darkened room beyond. This one seemed only to be a corridor at the moment. To the side was another door that was locked twice.
''That's gun storage.'' Kat explained nodding at the door as Kai followed her. ''And this, this is my place.'' She smirked going into a darkened room beyond. She shut the door behind Kai and they stood in total darkness.
''You'll love this Kai.'' Kat said before flicking a light switch to reveal the room. In front of them now was a garage. It was the size of a big shop floor and the walls were still at the brick stage and a white concrete floor. The walls held a few weapons and guns on them but not as much as the room they had just left behind with Jay sitting in it. In front on the back wall there were three garage doors that were open by switches in the sides. But what immediately grabbed Kai's attention were the Cars. At least ten of them! (Doesn't sound much, yet) Most top of the range sports cars, which could top at the least 200mph.
Kat started walking again, leaving the black Ferrari near the door untouched. Next there was a jet black Lamborghini and then a red Honda S2000. In front of them now as they walked along, Kat paying no attention to the worth of the cars next to her, she'd see it all before, was a jet shiny black TVR, with the soft top down letting you see the leather seats. Then before them as they walked was a 4x4 of some sort but this time a dark blue and behind that were three Motorbikes all in black, a Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki, all high powered and fast racers. Next was another car, a Dodge Viper GTS-R in total black and then Kat stopped.
''This is our force, and for future reference, Black Pearl is the TVR. The rest are get to or get away cars. But this, this is my baby.'' She turned to a jet black Lotus Elise with the soft top down. She took off her sword and gun and threw them in the back compartment behind the seats before getting into the drivers seat and checking for the key. Kai too took the Black Lightening Rifle from his back, placing it more carefully in the back, knowing his luck he'd take the safety off and then it would blow soon after, and then got into the passenger seat. Kat quickly flipped the switch to make the soft top cover them and as it did she introduced the car.
''Kai, this is my joy in this world, not Jay Jay's, mine. I'd like you to meet the Black Elisa.'' She said proudly.
''This car is yours!'' Kai asked amazed.
''Not exactly, but I'm the only one who uses it apart from Jay and he stays at home watching peoples backs on the monitor mostly. That reminds me.'' She pressed flipped the dangly earring on the left ear up and then pressed the newly formed earpiece into her left ear.
''Jay, you hear me?'' From inside the main room Jay replied.
''Loud and clear Black Elisa, time to rock and roll.'' With that the garage door in front of them opened at his touch of a button and Kat revved up the engine to start.
''Hang on, you must have only just gone 16 and you already have a car.'' Kai asked.
''I've been driving since I was 13, ever heard of a fake I.D or driver's licence. That's something.'' She leaned across to Kai's side and flipped open the glove compartment. There was another gun held by a Velcro strap on the draw and then a pile of cash and a fake I.D with the person on it looking like Kat.
''That's it.'' She grabbed it before closing the compartment up again and put the card in her jackets inside pocket.
''Are you taking me into World War Three?'' Kai asked suddenly, indicating the large amount of guns they both had. Kat paused before nodding.
''Bandit World War maybe, but it might just start off a real World War.'' Kai was shocked.
''How?'' Kat smirked.
''An over protective Jay, that's how.'' Kai now looked confused. Kat sighed. ''If the Black Bandits hurt me then Jay will take the Thunderbirds to War against them. If any of the neighbouring countries Bandit gangs find out then they'll come and help whichever side they are closest too in partnership. We've got Italian guys in the Thunderbirds linked with the Mafia, guys from Russian who would quiet happily call home, a few guys from all over Asian, and you don't want the Asian Assassins in here really, there's too many of them. And if it gets to America too then…'' Kat shrugged. ''It's complicated. Let's just say that we all have different connections that will back both sides up. But all of these battles wont go unnoticed, soon the governments will find out and then the army will come in. It pretty much will be World War three.'' She turned to him. ''So we've got to be careful.'' Kai nodded, amazed by what could happen. Another world war, just because of the girl that sat next to him, ready to drive him right to the centre of it.
Kat nodded to herself and then sat back in the leather seats and did up her seatbelt quickly before revving the engine again and then moving out of the garage at a quickening pace.
''I'll see you tomorrow Jay and if you're watching my back then speed up the cameras because I'm am slowing down for no-one.''
(Sorry, Lotus's are my absolute favourite car and then Dodge Vipers GTS-R's they are all lush. This is what my bandit association or spy organisation would look like. Well, if I had a lot of money my garage would look like that. Anyway, it never will, but it doesn't hurt a girl to dream. Cya next chap, expect action and a few unwanted arrivals to come soon, this story is about to be turned up to boiling point and beyond).
