Obsidian Mystery
Knight and Hitachi were able to sneak across the facility unseen, when Knight came across a camera he would spit his blood at it destroying it, he knew that they would come and repair the camera in a few hours blaming the lighting for it.
As they approached the armory a young man was running to it, they listen in to his conversations over the radio but when he began to hum, Knight knew that Outsider sent him. As protective as Knight was, he sent Hitachi to sneak up on this man while Knight did his own thing, distracting the man.
When Bali saw Knight, Hitachi grabbed him telling him not to scream.
- - - - - Hitachi POV
I'm not sure exactly how Knight planned on freeing Outsider and Snake, especially with her, Hitachi knew that at this moment she was to grab a man and tell him not to scream. Which she did.
Knowing any other xeno would make it easier because they are very predictable. But Knight wasn't like any other xeno, he'd take this stealthy and quietly. Which was out of the ordinary.
I haven't had to sneak around since she first met Gryph while I was running from the other part of my clan. From then on I never had to 'sneak' anywhere, I was too big, too noticeable to hide around corners or in shafts since I was real young.
What Knight was doing was a mix of brilliance and a ballet to me, a beautiful but deadly performance. I liked it. Knight was smart with where to go and what to do, to me, I had no problem following it because this is the stuff I've wanted to do for years. Knight's talent was causing me to go speechless, I was so interested in his form and motion, I have to ask someday if I get the chance, how he does it?
- - - - - End POV
Knight looked around again, he motioned Hitachi to the rear of the building where she held Bali, Knight jumped down and looks at Bali, Knight could tell that Bali wanted to piss himself. Knight cleared his throat and spoke in the human language that Outsider taught him.
"Outsider sent you, if you scream, pain will surely follow. Now speak your peace."
Hitachi left Bali go, he was terrified and nearly wetted himself. Two xenos, a Queen and a... he had no clue what Knight was, he was speachless for a few seconds.
"Umm... holy cow, y-y-y-you c-c-c-can talk. Ah... yes, s-s-s-she sent me. She escaped from Bur but sadly was caught again."
Knight looked at Hitachi who shrugged, he then smelled the air to make sure no one was near. He looked back at Bali.
"Who is this Bur?"
Bali is scared now, if he told who knows what they would do.
"He's a fifty years old experiment. He's umm... a male Triple-Breed."
This shocks both Knight and Hitachi, Knight swayed his tail in anger.
"Did they harm her?" Knight growled.
"Yes, but she killed most of them and injured some too."
Knight takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly, he needed to stay calm. Hitachi looks at Knight worried and scared, she had no clue how deadly Knight was but as long as he calmed himself she felt safe so she asks Bali a few questions...
- - - - - Hitachi POV
Sadly my mind wondered, when Knight looked at me I shrugged, I heard 'male Triple-Breed' which got me going, scared I mean, but I waited.
Knight got mad then calmed down quickly, I didn't have questions really maybe one but I think it's fairly obvious.
I wanted to see Snake. Aw hell's, I'd die to see Snake, not just hear him see with my own heat senses.
'Snake when I find you I'm giving you a big hug then your going to apologize to me and buy me a new bottom half robe.' I thought to myself of course.
My bottom half safari green robe or.. skirt I guess you could call it. Was torn and now was dirty, also was stained. He's going to either buy me a new one or make me a new one.
"Was there a Yautja, I mean, a dark green colored Yautja with red markings with her?" I asked. I'm not sure how he'd answer.
I hoped he was and wasn't, I'm not sure, if he was Outsider would protect him as much as he'd protect her. But if he wasn't he might have still been safe within the cell place. I hope.
- - - - - End POV
Bali is still scared, she was actually talking in his language as was Knight! This is just remarkable, WYC is trying to make xenos talk but this is way different.
"Um... you mean the Elder? Yes, he's okay. Bur threatened him, but all I know is that they'll be using the Elder and his comrades in part of their experiments and that they will be impregnated with..." Bali spoke to much, his words hit Hitachi like a train in a tornado. "Please don't be mad at me! I'm trying to stop this, the raid will be coming soon and I need to turn off the power to the facility, just don't kill me. I'm begging you both!"
Knight chuckled which caused Bali to shake even more in the cool rain, Knight has never met a human begging for his life from a xenomorph.
"Killing you is out of the question young one. We're here to help them too." Knight said reassuringly.
He looked around again, he heard something, something like a loud shriek.
"Hitachi, did you hear that?" Knight asked in the xenomorph language.
- - - - - - Hitachi POV
"I think so..." Hitachi wasn't sure.
I was so scared for Snake, their using him for an experiment? Oh dear Mother... I would go find him, rescue him, get him out and to safety, if I had to get hurt or worse, I don't give a damn. Snake's my only friend around here anymore. Rajah's gone, lost somewhere, any from me, Maril died years ago, of course, humans can only live so long. Gryph is still alive but he's an Elder too now, I don't want to bother him or his clan.
I really want to help, but I still didn't know what to do, I hated having things to question, especially in situations such as this.
I wanted Outsider out, Snake out, Knight out and anyone with them out. Just so I could relax from a long journey.
"Knight, I want to get to Snake and Outsider. Now, please." I asked, I wanted him to lead me to them, my senses are dying out for I am older now, I am a queen now myself, so I have lost my enhanced senses.
- - - - - End POV
Knight knew Hitachi wanted to go and get them but they had to think of their chances. If spotted now, the Marines and soldiers will warn others and put the facility in lock down at the same time will be shooting at them.
"Bali, can we trust you to place some explosives at the generator and other parts of the facility?" Knight asked.
"Sure I can but I don't have the level two key-card."
"I do."
Knight hands the card over and looks at Hitachi, he pats on of her four arms.
"Hitachi can you help him? I need to plan for a few minutes. I've been studying this place and might know how we can get them out." Knight asked and said in the xeno language.
Knight looks out at the rain.
'I swear I heard another queen here.' Knight thought to himself.
"Bali, when will your friends be here?" Knight asked.
"I think in a few minutes."
"Good."
Knight walked to the sewer entrance as Hitachi and Bali gathered explosives from the armory. Knight studied the hole and closed off his senses, he could see the system and where it's connected at.
'Queen...'
'Knight...'
Knight opened his senses and looked around, Bali and Hitachi were already at the generator. They set the timer for one hour thirty minutes. That should take their back up power but they need to destroy the transformer. Knight will take care of that, Hitachi came back with Bali.
"That's taken care of. What now?" Bali asked shaking the rain off only to have more get on him.
"Stay here and watch Hitachi, I'll be right back."
Before Hitachi or Bali could say another word, Knight disappeared in the rain.
"Well, I guess I have to get you in." Bali said looking up at Hitachi, her great size scared him from the stories he heard about queens. "By your size, I'm guessing you're a queen and the only place you can go in at is the docking area or the sewer system. Tell you one thing, I'm glad I don't work down there, to many workers go missing down there." Bali said with a light smile, he still can't trust her.
Hitachi was more worried about Snake-Eater but she figured Snake-Eater will put up a fight before they ever get their dirty hands on him!
- - - - - -Hitachi POV
"Sewer? Eww!" I shivered. "Docking area? Is there anyone over there... wait, no, I should go down through the sewers, the docking area is to risky, could be camera's or some kind of security system, I don't want to ruin this, lead me to it... please." I said.
As much as I hated those smelly sewers and how long I have tried to become a civilized individual, I guess I have to do this.
Oh Mother! This will smell like Q'uiu's lair when he leaves his kills or dead food out. Actually, this will smell even worse...
Well, he was leading me to it, as quiet and slowly to not alarm anyone. Fast isn't a good thing for now, only slow and steady will work, if I move too fast I begin stomping and making loud banging sounds whenever I run or walk very fast. Vibrations would alarm many, many people. Again, for all that already know, that is the worse possible thing I could do right now.
I hope Snake isn't hurt... well, probably got a few bruises but I hope not to bad. If these WYC could take down Outsider, a Triple-Breed, only dearest Mother would know what they could do to a High Elder Yautja. Even if he is one great fighter, I bet Outsider is much tougher, how he explained it, she's like a goddess, powerful yet calm. Know's her enemy, know's her way. She sounds great to me, from what I have heard, to my senses, she is a goddess.
- - - - End POV
"Well this is it." Bali said activating the opener, the opening to the sewer opening got wider and wider till it was big enough for Hitachi to fit, he then programs it to close part way so Knight could get in but also to leave it look like one of the repair men went down there. "Don't worry, it's not that bad down here but a few rats. They send robots down there to clean but even they don't come back. I don't know where your friend ran off to but I do know that he'll be back. Take this key-card, there will be doors that will be needing unlocking, I'll be waiting for the others, I'll also check on your elder friend too. Take this too, my radio will keep us in touch. I'll update you if something changes and when I find your friend. Stay safe and be alert there are a lot of experimentations going on here so you'll never know what you'll find. Oh, another thing, there are no cameras down there, just robot's. Later, Queen."
Bali ran off, he best leave all that info for Hitachi and head back to get another radio, lighting and thunder made him run faster. Hitachi felt a bit wired ...
- - - - - Hitachi POV:
I was rather worried about impressions when I got to see Snake again but... Oh well, according to this, I'm going to smell so bad Snake's going to get a hose and wash me off himself. I hate bad smells, drives what's left of my senses wild.
I climbed down the sewer, remembering what human said. 'Queen' I like that, I really, really like that. I smacked the top of my head, "No! Think not such thoughts! They only lead to the beginning!" I demanded to myself to not think about becoming a queen and ruling others like my Mother did.
"So... let's see... left." I climbed down talking to myself aloud.
Already the smells were getting to me, a robot buzzed by but thankfully didn't see me, I just stuck my tail through it and moved on, this would drive me to insanity if I don't get out of this rotten sewer. Mother! It smells bad!
- - - - End POV
Knight found the main transformer and waited for the lighting, as soon as it flashed he tore the transformer and the power lines down, giving him quite a shock! He jumped down and lost his balance, he coughed a few times before standing hissing loudly in pain. He quickly looked around as sparks fell around him. He quickly ducks into the shadows knowing that a guard would look this way.
'So that's what it's like being zapped. I hope Queen is okay...' Knight thought to himself.
Knight limped and sneaked across the facility to the sewer entrance, Bali and Hitachi's sent lead him to it, he hurt so badly it was causing him to tense his hands. He shook them hoping the numbness would go away. He looks down the dark hole, the smell was strong and sick, he got used to it fast and jumped down into the sewer landing on top of a robot, again he was zapped. He held in his moan and climbed off, so many zaps and so much pain. He looked around the sewer, which way? The lights in the sewer flicker, he slowly made his way through the sewer and soon spotted Hitachi, she was complaining about the smell and gunk.
Knight heard something, he looked above Hitachi to see a gun cipher coming down a shaft. He knew that these gun cipher's carry cameras on them but it's only for the computer to see, plus it had a gun installed on it making it worst for Knight and Hitachi. The gun cipher turns and spots Hitachi, Knight ran and leapt to it. It fires hurting Knight and scaring Hitachi, Knight took the hit and fell off as the gun tries to locate him.
- - - - - Hitachi POV
I was worried that damn machine was going to hurt Knight even more, granted I just met him, but he seemed to have a good heart. I wanted to help so badly it drove me past my common senses, heat vision just looked for every last person who would threaten him or Outsider, I'm sure I don't have to mention Snake, I think by now some random xeno on the other side on the world knows I'd die for him now.
"Are you okay?!" I yelled at him as I ran up to him, as silent as possible.
I looked up at the cursed machine, the camera on it was looking around. I growled, nothing, not even the best Yautja hunter in the galaxy could stop me from reaching Snake before I die. I leapt at it, grabbing onto it, I stabbed my tail through it at least ten times before it fell and I landed on the ground harshly. My spine spikes dug themselves into the ground causing my back to bend forwards, I'm not built to bend like that.
Hurt like hell.
But I did it, I'm alive, Knight's alive and I'm going to get to see Snake.
- - - - - - End POV
"Ugh, didn't expect that to happen. Sorry." Knight hissed gently.
Knight slowly stood up and he supports Hitachi till she could get herself comfy. He shook his head and looked at his bleeding gut, his blood seeped from it and it hurt like hell. He grabs some slug that caked the sewer wall and rubs it on the wound screaming and hissing in his mind. To Hitachi this was gross, he smiles up at her kindly.
"I have thick armor but those bullets were armor piercing rounds."
Knight took a few steps and stops, he was still numb from the zaps he took and it left a scar on his back. He smelled the air and looked to the left, he sensed something, he rubs his wound.
"Wait here Hitachi, I'll check what's up ahead you rest your back. If I find anything that's connected to Snake-Eater I will holler for you. Now rest up."
He took off down the sewer and Hitachi rested. The radio she was carrying came on startling her for a second, this was bad timing.
"Hey, you there?" Bali asked.
- - - - - Hitachi POV
I looked down to the radio. I cleared my throat to try one trick I've been working on.
"Yeah, right here." I said into the radio, making the voice of a male human, Rajah had taught me a few things about radio's and how to fool the person on the other end.
I waited a few minutes for a response.
That robot was pretty tough, shot Knight down, but he got back up, in a very strange way with some bugs. Gross in my mind, but necessary... I guess. This place was either really long or really big, narrow or wide, not sure, place is like a maze to me, amazed Knight knows his way around.
It just seems there's more obstacles the farther we go. Vents, armed humans, robots, sewers. Which still sent a shiver of disgust through me.
I was hoping this human on the other end was going to answer soon, I'm not sure if he'll help us like Bali or he'll try to kill us like the robot.
- - - - - - End POV
"Yes, sir! This is Bali, doing my routine check on the Yautja. Sir, the Elder is doing fine as are the others. No harm has come to them."
Hitachi could hear xeno's and hybrid's in the background hissing and growling along with Yautja's clicking.
"Sir, how things on your end?"
Hitachi could hear something else in the background.
"Who are you talking to Bali?" Said a gruff voice.
"Oh! Um, Bur, ah, hi. Just filling in um... Josh. He wants to know how the Yautja are doing."
"They are none of your concern Bali nor Josh's. Get back to feeding them."
"Sir, where is Outsider?"
"Safe, their cleaning her up right now. That's all you need to know."
"Sir! Sorry Josh, I got to get back to work. I'll talk to A.S.A.P."
Hitachi heard Bali say Bur before...
- - - - - - Hitachi POV
Bur... Bur, who is Bur?
I looked around, seeing no one else I figured it was alright to talk to myself, it helps me figure things out sometimes.
"Great, you talked into a machine where the other humans could hear you... how embarrassing.." I looked around again, my nervous and paranoid self kicked in. "Who is Bur? That name reminds me of someone Bali said... oh what was it..?" Soon, like a spark in my head, I remembered Bali said Bur threatened Snake. "How many humans, Bad Bloods or rogues do I have to go through to tell Snake to stop getting into trouble!?" I said to myself angrily. "Oh, he's mine." I growled looking around again.
If I could find a robot I could follow it out I think... I could only hope nothing too bad has happened to them. Outsider seems like a capable woman, Snake is a very capable hunter. They can handle themselves, right? Apparently, on Snake's part, wrong. Outsider can, Snake can't.
Oh, I don't care how long it's been I'm going to screech at him so loud it'll be like throwing him to another planet. Trouble maker is what he should've been called. But he's my trouble maker, my friend.
"Bur is mine, they can have anyone else, but no one threatens my friends, they don't even get to lay a hand on them." I pounded my fist against my other fist. "Time to put this great size to work."
- - - - - - End POV
Knight could still hear Hitachi, he chuckles to himself.
'She does talk very loud.' Knight thought.
He looked around the new part of the sewer he entered, more robots were cleaning and three gun ciphers. Knight growls in anger as his gut ached again.
'These humans are well prepared for xenos, but why?'
Just then he saw a small xeno appear at the far end of the new sewer part, the gun ciphers saw it a shot it down, it shrieked out as it died.
'So, there seems to be a nest down here. No wonder no one returns.'
Knight watched the gun ciphers, they patrolled the area well before going up into the vent or drainage system or shaft, Knight wasn't sure. He could feel Outsider was near, he could feel her heartbeat. The robots rolled past him to the next area to clean which gave him the chance to scout further but he had to get Hitachi or she'll get lost and end up dead like that xeno.
Knight turned around and headed back to Hitachi only to be tackled by a Great Warrior Xenomorph.
'Crap!' Knight hissed.
Knight was caught by surprised, this xeno was almost as tall as him. He was able to throw it off and leapt backwards into the murky water. He hissed angrily at the G.W.X. Why didn't he smell it? It hissed and growled loudly, enough that Hitachi heard it. Knight hissed and growled back as loudly as the G.W.X.
Knight and the G.W.X. circled each other in the cold murky water, G.W.X. charges at Knight. Knight leapt out of the way and grabs G.W.X. by the tail. He roars as he threw it against the wall, it slid down into the water. It stood up and shrieked out.
More appear out of the water and the connectors, eleven at least. They surround Knight, hissing and growling at him. Knight swipes at the ones that got close trying to scare them back, only a few leapt back.
'Oh great. More of these warriors, why didn't I smell them? Wait a minute.'
Knight just noticed that these xenos had strong human smell on them as well as xeno. Their bodies were built a bit different.
'Should of known, they were altered. Looks like they were trying to create Knight Xenomorphs. They're about as strong as me, I will need help.'
Knight dodges them when they leapt toward him and smacked them away with his tail injuring a few. Mostly cutting off a leg or arm or even their tails.
"Knaknook!" Knight roared.
His voice echoed through out the sewer to Hitachi, she could tell by his voice he needed help. She came running down the sewer scaring the G.W.X.'s away from Knight but they did not flee completely, they surround them again.
- - - - - - Hitachi POV
"Knight!" I shouted rushing up to him. "What in Mother's name?!" I questioned looking upon the other xeno's.
One pounced at me along with another, one landed right on my back and the other on my side. One immediately bit into my side, I screeched out in pain and I swiped the beast back. No damage to it though, which worried me. Knight took on different ones while I fought off the two that seemed bent on eating me away.
"Away beasts!" I hissed.
I lashed my tail at one but it dodged it and lunged itself to my head, digging its claws into my crown, the large bone on the back of my head, and bit the end of it. Which caused much pain on my part. Again I attacked, to my knowledge these were just normal xenomorph's with very good reflexes, but I was wrong. Even Knight had a problem with contacting his tail with the body of the other xeno.
I had a tougher time trying to swipe them fast. I was large and strong, not small and quick.
- - - - - - - End POV
Knight was getting agitated with these mimic xenos, he grabbed one by the tail and swung it around it a circle hitting the others and he left it lose, he learned this from Outsider and he knew that others of his kind would never do what he does which makes him unique. It crashed in the new sewer part, he watched it stand only to be shot down by a gun cipher.
'Oh no!'
Knight looked up at Hitachi to see that one xeno that would not fall off, Knight wrapped his tail around three xenos and threw them in the direction of the gun ciphers, he quickly climbed up the wall and leapt toward the one on Hitachi. He and the xeno crashed to the ground spraying water all over the place and on Hitachi, Knight thrusts his tail into the xeno and ripped off its tail, he uses the xeno like a shield.
"Knaknook, take cover on the other side of the connector and get out of the water. Hurry!"
Hitachi looked at it, it was half deep with smelly slimly water, she hated the idea but she did as she was told. Knight leapt over the other xenos and used the one on his tail to lure the gun ciphers. As they begin to shoot at him and the xeno on his tail, he threw the dead xeno at the gun ciphers and leapt to it landing on top. Three more gun ciphers appeared and aim at Knight, he hissed loudly at them.
Hitachi could hear roars and growls very loud on this side of the connector but what she saw next frightened her. The water lights up as electricity flowed through, then everything fell silent and the water became steady with no signs of electricity as if it died off. She inched her way to the edge and looked into the water, Knight suddenly bursts out of the water and lands beside her. He shakes the water and slim off and sits on the ground letting Hitachi look at him.
- - - - - - - Hitachi POV
'Knight!" I said, yes I have only known him for a moment, but I liked him. I lightly and briefly hugged him. "Scared the hell out of me!" I said, looking all over him for injuries or cuts. "What happened?" I asked as Knight simply sighed.
I smirked, "Why were those Xenomorph's stronger? Usually at my height and strength I'd have no problem with fighting them off, those ones were bigger and different" I said, continuing my unnecessary worry for him, I sat next him. "I thought that blast might've killed you..." I said, then I would become very worried.
- - - - - End POV
"Well, they're..."
Knight still couldn't believe it either, they were as strong as him. He looked up at Hitachi and grinned slightly and stood up.
"... they're knights. Altered ones, it seems that WYC has a xeno nest here and are experimenting to created a xeno like me. I knew that the only way to kill them all was to electrocute them, it worked as planned. Being killed is not part of my plan." He said with a laugh, he points down the sewer Hitachi looks. "This part of the sewer will lead us close to where they are holding Snake-Eater and the others."
Pain hit Knight like a knife to the spine, he taps his tail on the ground. Hitachi could tell that Knight was in pain but from what, Knight was holding his right arm.
"Damn that Bur! He must of done something to Queen. We feel each others pain, Bur is doing something to her, causing her arm to hurt like hell. Damn!"
The pain soon passed and Knight relaxed.
'Knight...'
'Queen, are you okay?'
'No, Bur just did something to my arm. I can't move it anymore, they knocked me out with some kind of gas. I'm strapped to a table, Bur is the one who did this. Oh, hell...'
'Queen? Queen!'
"Damn it!" Knight hissed.
Knight leapt to the wall and climbed to a drainage vent and looked down it. To small for him, Hitachi is wondering what the hell is wrong with him, Knight looks at her.
"They are doing something to her! I know she is close but this drain is too small, we have to get the others and find Queen before it's too late!"
Knight leapt to the ground and they both made their way further into the sewer till Knight stopped Hitachi again, he smells the air and hissed. The sound of electricity played in the sewer, Knight pushes Hitachi against the sewer wall just as a ball of electricity went fling by, Knight looks up the ramp leading up to the facility.
"You missed them!" Yelled a Marine.
"Shut up, they're trying to get inside the facility!" Yelled another.
"Fuck, there's a Queen down there! Bring out the big guns!"
Knight growled at the Marines, WYC obviously employed them to terminate the xeno problem. Hitachi and Knight hear gas canisters being rolled down toward them.
"Fire in the hole!"
- - - - - Hitachi POV
I was pushed back by Knight just as an electro-ball flew right by us.
"What in the hell's!?" I shrieked.
Earlier Knight was in some kind of pain, which I didn't like, also said they were doing something to Outsider, which I hated even more. Knowing she's a Triple-Breed I was quite skeptic about what could possibly even effect her?
"Knight, I can handle a shock of electricity, maybe this is where I can come in handy." I said, I've been electrocuted before, that small electric ball that flew by was enough to hurt me, but not enough to kill me. "I can distract them, make them aim for me, which I am a very big target and one they will probably aim before recognizing you, take them out, I'll take the hit." I smiled.
I'd do anything for them, I'm not picky.
- - - - - End POV
Knight wasn't sure, as the gas canisters got closer he nod his head and Hitachi took off. She rammed the canisters knocking them back at the Marines which surprised them. They fire electro-balls at Hitachi only to make her hiss.
"What the fuck!?"
"She's not going down! Fuck!"
Knight climbed on the ceiling right above Hitachi as she took all the hits, he then climbed even faster up the ceiling as Hitachi made her way up the ramp. One Marine notices Knight but by the time he aimed his weapon Knight had already leapt on top of him. He screamed out just before Knight ripped off the Marines head and dodged another Marine armed with an Assault Rifle. Hitachi was having fun making the Marines yell profanities at her and they even threw their empty magazines at her.
Knight flipped backwards landing behind some containers. He quickly reads the label: FLAMMABLE GAS.
"Knaknook, get ready to move out of the way!" Knight said in their language.
Hitachi charged head first at the Marines knocking them back and off balance for a split second, Knight tips the canisters over rolling them toward the Assault Rifle Marine.
"Woah!" He yelled.
He ran to the others figuring Knight might chase after him, they all collide but soon got back up and ran down the ramp into the sewer as the gas containers followed. Knight runs over and picks up one of the electric guns, he aims at the containers and fires!
BOOM!
Hitachi lost hearing for a good moment, the explosion caused the power to go out then on again. She looks at Knight as he held the gun firm in his hands, smoke was coming off of him. He looks at her and smiles, which reminded her of a child's smile.
"That was fun, wouldn't you agree?"
- - - - - Hitachi POV
I tried to hold it in, but I couldn't. I laughed, not even if my sides hurt with extreme pain. The electricity didn't kill me, but it did hurt like hell.
"That was the best display of aerobatic's I've seen since Rajah and Snake worked together!" I laughed. Snake usually found some way to use Rajah's flexible body to fight some unwanted Bad Bloods back in Africa. "I have to say it Knight, you are the greatest fighter I've ever seen!" I walked up to him putting a hand on his shoulder which made him purr. "Just don't tell Snake I told you that, he might get jealous." I laughed.
His smile was, seemed so playful.
"Well, we best get moving, we want to get Outsid- I mean your Queen.. wait, you told me already, Outsider out." I stumbled over my words, apparently that electricity had gotten to my speech somewhat. "But before we continue on, you can call me Hitachi, Tachi for short, I'll tell you why some other time when we're not fighting to save someone's life-long secret and life." I smiled. "Now then, which way?"
