Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Shadow Clovers. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Totally spies, Vincent, David Michel and a few others do.
Ray and his friends felt the air rip at their armored faces, jumping out of an old cargo plane Luke had provided.
"This is insane." Came the voice of Damien, a man with a samurai like suit and a giant hammer over his back. his high-tech armor also had a kabuki mask like helmet.
"I don't hear Amy and Emma saying that, or Oliva. You can back out anytime." Ray stated before leaping out of the back hatch and into the wind.
Why dive from a plane in the sky that wasn't going to last the trip and only had a device from Luke that would take it home… Ray needed something with Luke to tinker with.
The CCC plane they targeted was carrying parts for an attack satellite according to Amy.
"Drones!" Damien yelled as they activated their thrusters, something that took Lucas, Oliva and Ray months to install and design.
"Damien, Emma, Amy! I want you taking them out, Oliva, cargo hatch, Lucas, deal with the engines… I got the plane." Ray spun around a jet sized drone before barreling towards another.
He drew his sword and slashed the drone in half, its mechanical eye blinking out and exploding into fireworks.
Ray landed on the hull of the plane, fire cloaking him and debris cloaking him. he powered up the laser cutters within his fingers as he cut through the side of the plane.
(With Clover and the others)
The second Clover, Sam, and Alex saw what Ray and his group had done? Clover had started thinking Ray was a lot more capable then the shy nerd looked.
"What's he looking for?" Clover asked, Umbra moved through dozens of crates.
The lenses of the armor glowed as he picked his way through the tech.
"Um. You good on your end?" She heard from the communicator within his armor, it was so quiet she had to be almost next to him to hear him talk.
"Fine, you busy on…" That was before the bright sliver of light was seen.
More to the point, the sliver of light that cut through the crate and part of the floor… along with almost decapitating Umbra.
"So, Mantis was right… naughty brats where they don't belong." Clover blinked seeing the figure.
The woman wore a purple catsuit that had terrible fake fur around her neck along with a furry collar which looked similar to a parka. The talon like nails and high boots really didn't help her look.
"Oh, hi Backlash, nice to see you too." Umbra watched a pair of CCC soldiers behind her.
"Hello brat… Take him, I'll deal with the other." Umbra laughed in amusement.
"Great logic." The soldiers raised their weapons and unleashed a stream of gunfire.
Umbra quickly dodged it, Clover barely so considering she didn't wear armor able to dodge bullets.
Clover opened her eyes to see Umbra glance at her and tilt his armored head in confusion before being forced to dodge 3 more lashes of Backlash's weapon. He knew her arm mounted whips would cut through the suits.
"Clover, what are you doing?!" Sam whispered from the shadows as Clover watched the fight.
Umbra wrapped an arm around the rifle barrel, forcing it away from him as the young warrior roundhouse kicked the man to the side. He then knocked out the other soldier by hurling the weapon into her forehead.
"You're going to need a lot more then garbage soldiers." Umbra glanced a look back at Clover who was still awestruck.
He was stunned enough for Backlash to wrap her whips around his arm and throwing him into a shelf. Umbra grunted as technology rained down upon him.
"Um!" Amy pulled a new weapon off her back: The Burning Bow.
She fired an arrow at Backlash, the object whistled through the air and slammed into her chest, throwing her out of the hull. She'd be fine. Umbra knew
"Thanks Zeon… We need to go; this plane is going to be scuttled anyway." He pointed out, knowing CCC wouldn't allow their men to live.
Still, he gathered up the men under his arms as Amy waved a computer in her hands.
"I got some intel anyway…" Umbra nodded and risked another glance back only to see nothing.
"Yeah, lets go." Umbra sighed and activated the back thrusters, carrying him out of the plane. He didn't notice the small click on his armor.
"So… I guess we're going to have to go with plan B?" Sam looked at the heart shaped tracker. Jerry would help them take care of the rest.
"I guess he does know Clover." Clover said nothing for once.
She'd go and meet Umbra, she really had to know why he was carrying this fight out.
"Yeah. He does… What did Ray and them want." They retreated from the destruction.
Clover would meet Umbra tonight… but not in the way they wanted.
Umbra looked back.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out Clover doesn't think Ray is a nerd. Next chapter is going to end up being in 2 weeks or so will end up showing Clover as a spy talking to Umbra and them learning about their secret identities. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
