Chapter 4
On the next day, April went back to the NIB building after making her decision and wanted to join. "Back so soon?." the guy asked still seating in his chair reading newspaper. "Oh, yeah you know it. said April calling the elevator.
As the elevator doors were open, Karai was inside waiting on April as she went in as the door closed shut, and began to move. "Alright, look I have decided to join the NIB. Now, before we go any further let me give you the heads up alright?. First off don't call me kid, slick, and especially newbie. Because remember you pick me alright? I'm the best of the best and I'm skilled in my half year training at the academy."
Karai looked at April with a smile an then chuckle and said "Well, thank you for telling me that April. And, by the way rookie your police academy training can go into the garage. Because this is the super next level." said Karai as she turned around as the elevator doors behind them opened up, revealing the NIB HQ.
April was in awe, seeing the HQ for the very first time as they were going down to the ground level, and walk off the pad. In the HQ there was a section where the aliens just arrived to Earth an trying to check in or out of the planet, then on the right was the NIB lab with bunch of unique equipment, and in the middle was the work station.
"Follow me, I want to show you something cool." said Karai leading the way as April follow her, but then stopped as she saw a trashy looking gelatin alien and was getting ready to touch it, but Karai quickly stopped her and pushed her away from him.
"Don't touch him. His kinda grumpy in the morning." said Karai. "Sorry I got curious. So, does the government supplies us with the gear." asked April. Then Karai went to open the big door to the inventory, and said "They wish. The government talks too much about how we handle things and what not, an so we just leave them in the dark and get our gear from alien crash sites and weapons."
When they entered in, Karai show April so nice things that was laying around and show her the hologram whist phone. "This baby is going to put Apple and Microsoft out of business. And the mini disc are the next big thing of Dvd's." Karai said putting it up and went over to the translater device.
"What's that?." April asked not paying attention to Karai as she was looking at the glowing orb that was hovering. "Oh this is a alien translater. It's was made for rookies like yourself to learn how to speak different alien languages." said Karai, messing with the device not seeing what April was talking about.
"What? no, I'm talking about this cool energy ball thingy." as April was getting ready to poke it. Karai turn to where April was about to touch it. "April wait don't!." It was too late as April touch it causing the ball to bounce everywhere. "Oh, crap!, crap!, crap!. Everyone I'm so sorry!." said April who was looking at the super speed bounced ball.
The ball was hitting and destroying everything it hits such as the lab, computers, and people. "Don't worry I'll pay for that. I'm taking full responsibility for this." said April as the ball hit one of the NIB agents, "Don't worry bro put some ice on it." said Mikey as he and his brothers where duck and covering underneath the table.
Then the ball bounced into Zed's office as he was playing it cool, as he was doing some paper work and then tilted his head to avoid getting hit as the ball pass his head. Karai was seating their looking at the damage that was being done and just sigh, remembering the time when she too did that when she was a rookie. so she grabbed and put on the glove that will retrieve and catch the ball.
"Crap this is so going to come out of my paycheck, and this is first day at work too. Swear apples!." said April feeling mad, but the ball came back in and was caught by Karai. "That was the thing that caused the New York black out in the year 1988. And the next time if you don't know what it is or does then don't touch it." Karai said a little bit serious, as she put the ball back.
When that was settled and clam down they left the inventory, passing agent's who was very upset about the incident. "Sorry everyone. It was an accident. really." said April, apologizing and was a little embarrass. As they reached the big round screen that showing multi screens of aliens and mutants in disguise. The ones that were running it was two Krangs in there hover chairs typing away.
"April I like you to meet the brothers, Zig and Zag. What you see on the screens are actual Aliens and Mutants in disguise. There people in public but behind closed doors, well you get the idea." said Karai looking at the screens. After saying hi to the Krang brothers, April was in disbelief as she one of her favorite actors, actress, and song writers are aliens or mutants. "Wow." that's all that April can say.
"I know it's confusing and scary." said Karai. "Well, no actual this is not confusing at all. People at the academy call me crazy after I said our drill instructor has got to be from Jupiter or Saturn." said April. Then Karai said "Oh, you mean drill instructor David?. His from Planet Mars actually, guys show us David."
The brothers started pulling up a live feed of David training new recruits. "All right you maggots! I want you to hit twenty laps in five minutes!. No excuses!." Karai ask "Is he always like this?." "No, only if he doesn't get his coffee and donuts." said April. "Ms. O'Neill?. It's time to put on." said Zed who was behind them as they turned around to see him. April raised her eyebrow and ask "Put what on?."
"The last suite that you will ever wear." Zed said with a smile. As April went through the process of getting her finger prints burn off permanently, making scream. "Crap that burns!." she said sucking her fingers, while Karai was on her computer permanently deleting April's records, Social security number, birth certificate, and other things. As for April she was in the locker room going to her locker that had her first letter name initial on it, in which it said A on it.
As she open her locker she saw her ninja gear that was black and her shades, while Zed was doing the NIB oath. "You are longer a citizen. You are a thing of mystery that no one knows, you'll eat where we tell you, live where we tell you. You're no longer part of the government, you are above and beyond the system, You're a ninja warrior agent that put their life on the line, to protect the innocent. We are known as the Ninja's in Black."
When Karai finished setting up April in the NIB's computer system, the computer read Welcome Agent A. "Do you know the difference between you and me?." Karai turned around to see April, as she raised her eyebrow and ask "No. What is it?." April who was in her ninja gear with a smirk as she put on her black shades and said "I make this look good." Rolling her eyes Karai said "Keep wishing rookie."
After putting on the suite both Karai and April reported to Zed's office to get the today's mission assignments. "There's a alien weapon robbery that took place last night but don't worry about that, cause Leo and the others are going to handle that tonight. Here's your assignment, a unidentified spacecraft crash landed in a farm area and the ship was missing along with the alien that was flying it, that sounds like a party." said Zed being sarcastic.
Suddenly the alarm went off in the building alerting them. "Well, well what do we have here?." asked Zed, as Karai said to April "The alarm is telling us that a Alien or Mutant have reached there traveling limit." as all three looked at the big screen that show a male and his wife leaving New York without permission. "That's funny. Mr and Mrs Owens shouldn't be leaving New York without our say so. Why don't you take rookie here and let her get a swing of it, this will make an excellent warm up." said Zed.
Then Karai said with little bit of excitement "Let's go handle it partner." as she got up and headed, as April looked back at Zed as he said "Go get them princess." With a nod, April caught up with Karai as they walked out of the building and was getting into their car. "We have highly advanced alien technology, and we're driving in a run down black Toyota Camry." said April, getting in. "Don't this look fool you. Put on your seat belt." said Karai putting on hers.
April then said "Now, if we're going to be partners and best buds then the first thing is to be polite about it, with a please." Karai was looking at her with ignorance and said "Put on your seat belt please." With a smile and putting on her seat belt, April said "See, was that so hard?." As Karai started the car and back up, the speed of the car quick making April scared not realising the car have some kick to it.
"Rule number one April, never and I mean never press the red button." said Karai, as April looked down at her fingers that was touching the red button and remove it. "Ok, got it. What is rule number two?." she asked. Karai grin at the question and said "The second rule is to hold on." as she put her foot on the pedal as the car went quick then a normal Camry, and took off as April was holding on for dear life.
