and now you get to know their names. yay.
"I'll do it" black offered
"yo, Chris you sure?" yellow asked, their ship was currently hovering over the roof of their next robbery; a rare diamond that when held under extreme light, could produce a beam powerful enough to destroy a small city, they had debated for a week for who would get captured and infiltrate the GDF base.
"come on Joel," Chris said rolling his eyes at his yellow clothed companion, "what could go wrong?"
"yeah, Chris can do it," indigo said "I mean it's not like they can find out our identities"
"Thanks, char, now anyone else wants a say in this?" Chris turned towards his white-coloured companion. "Carly?"
"why not? I mean it's not like the GDF will be expecting us to break this Havoc person out anyway," Carly said adjusting her mask
"Remember, it's just the four of you, In and out." red said coming from the cockpit
"you got it, Mike," Joel said giving the leader a thumbs up
"here, I got the duplicator," blue said fiddling with a device as he entered, "Now make sure you duplicate the jewel first before you give the real one to Chris and make sure kayo sees you take it and then split up. Make sure you 'accidentally' turn into a dead-end and get captured"
"got it! thanks, Oliver" Chris said, taking the said device and putting it on his belt.
"Okay, you have roughly 10 minutes until the GDF arrive," pink said poking at a tablet, "here" she held out a small robotic spider. "once you arrive and the GDF prison, this will activate and I'll direct it to the main computer and get what we need. Then I'll shut down the power and you will break out, grab Havoc and her stuff, steal a GDF copter, go to the coordinates that we agreed to, meet the hood, get our payment, and be on our way. We'll be waiting at the dropoff zone"
"But how will you know where to go?" Charlotte asked her and pink turned the tablet around and showed them the feed from the tiny cameras inside the spider.
"Thanks, Lillie," Joel said and took the small spider and also placed it on his belt.
"Also, we'll be able to hack into their systems to deactivate the cameras and give you enough time to escape, plus it gives us a chance to change their passwords!" Joel happily and the rest of them laughed and how the GDF would react at them no longer being able to access their files.
"and we'll also disable the tracking device so the GDF and Thunderbird 5 can't track it," green said coming out of the cockpit
"good call Emma," Chris said giving her a thumbs up and she blushed, glad her mask was hiding it
"ok, we have one shot at this, and failure is not an option," Mike said and put his hand out "ready?" everyone put their hands on top of his and they all nodded
"oh, GDF and Kayo will be arriving soon" Lillie called out and soon, Joel, Chris, Charlotte, and Carly were off while Oliver, Mike, Emma, and Lillie stayed behind. They quickly cut a hole in the roof. After getting the signal that the security cameras were disabled they climbed down, silently knocking out any guards, soon they reached their destination, quickly Charlotte cut a hole in the display case and Joel quickly duplicated it. Chris quickly put the real one in a hidden pocket and Joel held onto the fake one. Soon they heard engines and lights shining through the windows and a loud voice saying; "this is the GDF, we have you surrounded" not too soon and Kayo entered along with about 20 GDF officers, they quickly ran up the stairs behind them and Kayo led the officers after them. Upstairs there were lots of hallways leading to lots of different exhibits, they split up as they agreed; forcing the GDF to split up too, Kayo suddenly saw a flash of black and chased after him, knowing that he had the jewel. The others hid until the GDF left. Eventually, Kayo managed to catch the thief at a dead end and managed to handcuff him, but as she led him away she didn't see the devious smile on his face. She gave him to the GDF and followed them in shadow to the prison to bring along the jewel. Back at the museum; Chris, Charlotte, and Carly came out of hiding a went back to their ship and flew to the meeting point.
The GDF brought Joel (they don't know his identity), still clad in mask and cape into a cell in the middle of the facility and forced him to sit on the chair in the centre of the room, as soon as he sat down, he felt the robotic spider climb down his leg and it disappeared into the vents.
"Alright, now let's get, started," Captain Rigby said sitting across from him and Kayo leading against the wall behind him, unfortunately for the GDF, they weren't going to get many answers.
'This should be interesting' Joel thought as he sat back in his chair
"why did you blow up a GDF base?" Rigby asked but was answered with silence
"Rigby, maybe we should find out his identity first," Kayo said and Joel panicked, Kayo walked over and reached for his mask, he turned his head away trying to escape but he couldn't. Kayo ripped off his mask to find...he was still wearing his mask. "what?" she questioned and looked at the mask in her hand and saw the detail on the mask. It was midnight black and was embroidered with little moons. She looked down from the mask to the one on his face and back. She tossed the other mask away and tried again only to have the same result.
"oh, I'm sorry were you trying to find out my identity?" Joel said in a mocking voice "you can only remove our masks once you know our identities"
"who makes your technology?" Rigby questioned, Joel didn't answer so Rigby continued to ask questions but only got silence as his answer so they decided to leave, they had just shut the door when the lights suddenly went off.
"what the?" he said looking around before turning to the closest officers "find out what's going on" he demanded and they ran off, suddenly the door flew open and Joel pushed past his captors who were too surprised to stop him, he then launched his grapple line and swung down to the lower floor.
"I'll go after him," Kayo said launching at her grapple line and following him, her eyes widened as she realized that he was heading towards Havoc's cell.
'so they do work for my uncle' she thought bitterly speeding up but the black figure had already unlocked her cell and led her out the door. "Rigby, the black guy has released Havoc, tell your men to stand guard over her stuff, that's probably where they're headed to next". She continued to chase after the figures when suddenly a heavy titanium door blocked her path. "Rigby, can you open the doors on level 3?"
"sorry Kayo, but these guys have hacked our systems. we can't do anything" Rigby yelled as he stared at the computers in the control room, all baring the star. "we're going to have to reboot them"
"then hurry up, in the meantime, I'll find another way," she said before turning around and going up a set of stairs. meanwhile, Joel and Havoc had managed to get her stuff and were now on their way to a GDF copter, they disabled the tracking device and flew off.
"ok, why'd you help me escape?" Havoc questioned her companion as he entered the coordinates and put the plane on autopilot.
"The Hood told us too and we agreed," Joel said, "we agreed to get you out of prison and drop you off and get paid. Plus we get to mess with the GDF thinking we're working for the Hood. which we're not". The pair sat in comfortable silence for the next 2 hrs, they soon arrived at the meetup point and Joel saw Mike dressed in his red clothing next to the Hood waiting for him, as he landed the wind from the plane caused his cape to flap wildly and made him hold onto his hat so it would go flying away, soon they exited the plane and walked towards them.
"ok Hood, we got Havoc out of jail. Where's our payment?" Mike demanded holding out his gloved hand and the Hood took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to him, Mike opened it and carefully counted the money "pleasure doing business with you" giving him a mock salute and turned around and walked away with Joel following him, "any problems?"
"Nah, like you said; in and out" they looked up when they heard the sound of engines and saw the Hood's ship flying off.
"we're clear," Mike said into his earpiece and suddenly their ship appeared above them and a hatch opened and two ropes dropped down. Mike and Joel grabbed one and the ropes slowly pulled them up and they were soon back on their ship.
"Welcome back guys!" Charlotte greeted them as the doors closed and the ship turned invisible again.
"did you guys get the information from the GDF?" Joel questioned taking off his mask
"yeah, tons! The others are looking through it right now" Charlotte said "we're on our way to our other client to deliver the diamond"
"cool, I'll join you soon, going to grab a snack" Mike and Charlotte nodded and walked to the main section of their ship while Joel wandered to the kitchen.
so, I actually had this chapter finished before chapter 4 and with the mask thing that was inspired by an episode of 'teen titans go' when I used to watch it.
Anyways hoped you enjoyed the chapter and remember to stay safe
