I don't own anything except my OC, Naomi. I would also like to thank my reviewers. They're the ones that keep me working on this. Also I would like to point this out to you guys, it's kind of like a freebie, this story will go on when the movie is supposedly over but there will be a twist at the end. So keep reading and you'll find out. Beware there is a half lemon! I had an itching for one so I decided to give it a shot.
xXx
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" went the alarms. I was with Snake when the alarms went off. The feeling in my gut that I had earlier came back five times stronger. I had warned Clayton but I knew….I knew…..I ran as fast as I could to his office. As I rounded the corner I saw Ivy's body lay at Clayton's office door. God no. When I came to the door I checked Ivy. She was dead.
"Naomi…." Came a coarse voice. I looked up to see Clayton. He had a cut running across his torso along with other cuts, "you….you must get the warheads…don't worry about me…go…" he said barely. I took of my sweater that I was wearing and placed it on his wound.
"Hang on Clayton. The others will stop them. Right now you're my priority." I said applying pressure to the wound. He grabbed a hold of my wrist with a tight grip.
"No…you need to…there's someone here that you know…..you have to help them…I'll be fine…..go…..GO!" he said and shoved me away. I didn't want to leave him but if someone here that I knew was here then they were traitors to me and the Joe's. I nodded and quickly ran out of the room towards the fighting.
"Great. No weapons and they have better guns than us. Just great." I said to myself. As I was running I heard the sounds of Duke and guns firing. Questions were forming in my head as I ran. Who was the person that I knew? How the hell did they get in the base? And why did I get the feeling that McCullen is behind this. Those questions ran in my head when I got to the fighting. I watched as Duke faced off with Anna but there was someone else with them. A man all dressed in white with two swords attached to his back…..no…..it couldn't be! I watched as Anna walked towards Duke till he had the pistol was at her head. The man dress in white reached behind his back but duke stopped him. I looked pass them and saw one of their men hold a gun to fire.
"Duke watch out!" Shouted Ripcord. He was riding a fork lift towards the man before he pinned him to the wall. I watched as our men poured into the room. I saw the man in white fight as Anna went for the case. I looked to see if I could use anything for a weapon. I saw a metal rod that was snapped in half so that there were points at the end. I quickly ran to got them and join in the fight.
I was dodging blasts of stone and bullets left and right. My only concern was to know if the man in white is the man I think he is. He was attacking a man to my right. As he was about to bring down the last blow, I stopped him.
"Not this time." I spat. He looked me in the eyes and tried to attack me with his free arm. I blocked and swung back at him. He easily blocked the attack and tried again. We were fighting each other till our blades caught, forcing us to look into each other's eyes. But when I looked into his eyes I saw something. A boy…..a little boy that I knew before he disappeared one day…his eyes held fire. The same fire that I used to watch and train with, "Storm Shadow?" I quietly asked. His eyes opened wider as I said his name.
"Naomi? Is that you?" he asked me. The man in white was Storm Shadow? The little boy that I knew was no longer but has grown up now. I dropped the broken rod and wrapped my arms around him in a hug. He took his swords away returned the hug then stood arms length away from me.
"Storm? That can't be you? What? Why? Why did you leave the temple? You left without saying anything! After Master Hiroshi died I had no one but you and Snake to depend on. He was like a father to me! And you just left! Why?" I asked but kind of shouted in his face. I didn't have to see his whole face to know that he was frowning.
"I can't explain now Naomi. It's hard to explain it to you." He said freeing one of his hands and placing it on my shoulder.
"Wait….if you're here then…..you came for the warheads…..didn't you?" I asked him. His eyes faltered and looked to the ground.
"Naomi I….."
"No! Stop! I don't want to listen!" I backed away from him, "looked me in the eyes and tell it isn't true!" I demanded.
"I'm sorry. It's true." He said looking me in the eyes. I didn't want to believe him but he was telling the truth. He was my brother. Why? "Good-bye." He said and ran off towards Anna. I watched him go. I wanted to go after him but my legs wouldn't move. Strom Shadow was the traitor…..and I can't let him get away.
I took off for Storm when I spotted him and Snake eyes fighting. Old rivals clash once again. I thought. There had to be some why to stop him and Anna from leaving. I glanced around and saw that the warheads had fallen on the ramp towards the lift. I they don't have the warheads they can't leave. I started to run over to them when a man in his mid forties stepped in front of me.
"Hello Naomi. Dr. Naji sends he regards." He said his voice cold. My eyes widened at the name. He took out a dagger and tried to stab me with it. I was able to dodge his attacks when my eyes caught Anna running off with the warheads. I had to stop her. I couldn't let this get to me. I directed my eyes to the man. Killing me or stabbing me was his top priority in his list and I wasn't about to let him win. I noticed that a poll was about a foot away from me. If I could get to it then I could end this. I turned to grab it when his arms reached out and grabbed my hair. He yanked back till I was against his chest. His smelly breath, I could feel on my neck made my skin crawl, "Now that wasn't very nice." He breathes into my ear.
"Well…I don't play nice." I tried to get him to release me but the dagger he was holding came to my neck. He lightly pressed it against my neck so that if I did move it would puncture the skin, "what do you know about doctor Naji?"
"Nothing much. All she did was pay me a few grand to deliver something. And tell you something." He said. He placed kisses on the back of my neck.
"What did she tell you?" I said. I closed my eyes to ignore the fact that he was kissing me. Gross.
"This is what she said and I quote "I'm not dead experiment X. Try all you like to forget but I'm still here. And now that you know, get ready. I'm stopping this time. Now I can correct the mistake I made years ago. If you want to stop me. You know where to find Me."" he took the dagger from my neck and jabbed it into my stomach. He released the grip on my hair and shoved me to the ground. I rolled over onto my side and looked to see a spider on the handle. It was her mark.
"Her mark…her mark….." tears rolled down my face. She wasn't dead. And she wasn't going to stop this time. Oh God…
I don't know how long I stayed lying on the ground after the sounds of battle stopped. As I lay there, I couldn't help but think that if I died I wouldn't have to deal Naji. But on the other hand I didn't want to die. If I did, no one would know of 's plain. They wouldn't know how to kill her or her tricks. I wanted to live. I wanted to see her cold body lying on the ground. I wanted to know I did the right thing. I didn't want to see anyone else get hurt.
"Hey, I'm gonna check over here." said Ripcord. When I heard his voice I couldn't help but smile.
"Rip…Rip over here!"I tried my best to shout at him. The footsteps stopped and got louder as they came closer. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder, which pushed me onto my back.
"God! Naomi! Hang on girl, imma gonna get you outta here." he said. He hooked an arm around me and brought me to my feet, "Medic! Get your ass over here!" he yelled. I figured that I lost a lot of blood because my head began to feel light headed and my body grew weak.
"Naomi! What the hell happened to her?" Snake Eye's voice rang in my ears. I felt his arms lift me bridal style and held me in his arms, "Rip go get the doc. I'll stay here and make sure she doesn't fall asleep." He said. I watched Rip disappeared into a blurry hall. Snake took the dagger out, causing me to scream in pain, and applied pressure to the wound.
"Snake….Snake…." I whispered his name. My vision began to fade in and out.
"Hang on Naomi, Rip's coming. Stay awake. Please." He began to rock slowly back and forth.
"Snake…she's not dead…she's not dead…."
"Who's not dead?" he asked me.
"Doctor….Naji. Snake…we have to stop her….. She can't repeat what happened back then…..we have to stop her." I spoke. It was getting harder to breathe and my eyes became heavy.
"Hang on Naomi. The doc's coming. Hang on a little while longer." Snake said. His voice seemed far away now. It was hard to concentrate now. I could feel myself floating, like my body turned into air.
"Snake…" the only thing I could do was smile before a dark sleep took me over.
"NAOMI!" shouted someone but I forgot who it was…
xXx
The spring was warm this year. If I could remember correctly my birthday was in a few days. I was going to be seven years old….
"Naomi it's time to wake up." Said a voice. My sleepy eyes opened and saw the outline of a person. When the person came closer I saw a woman with hazel hair and blue eyes. She wore a white sun dress with pale blue flowers on it along with a clear crystal necklace around her neck.
"Morning mother." I said softly. I pushed the covers off me and ran into the bathroom. I knew what to day was but something was pulling at my spine to stop and think.
"Why Naomi? What are you in such a hurry for?" my mother said. A smile lay on her face.
"Today April is going to take me butterfly catching! She was supposed to wake me up early!" I called from the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth and flattened my hair down so I would look half decent. Then I ran into my closet and grabbed my yellow sundress and boots.
"Don't forget your net Naomi." My mother said helping me into the dress. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her in a big hug.
"Love you mom." I whispered.
"I love you too Naomi. Now go. Your sister's waiting." She called. I let go of the embrace and walked out the door. But when I did this blinding light caused my eyes to close.
I opened my eyes and saw that my mother wasn't there any longer and I wasn't in the housed that I lived in. I was in a field full of flowers and butterflies. I remember this place…this was the valley that my family used to play on. The games and picnics we used to have here we so much fun.
"Hey Naomi!" someone called. I looked down to see my older siblings. There was Nora who was now married. She was the first born. Then came the twins, Jake and Mike, ages 19. Then came my best friend and older sister April. I was the youngest of five. I didn't mind though because they want their separate ways. But April stood beside me. She would play with me when she wasn't training or helping my mom.
"I'm coming! Wait for me!" I called. I ran to catch up with her. When I did she handed me a net and pointed north.
"If we go that way we'll see the rare giant white butterfly." April said. I nodded and headed off in that direction. On most days I would be in town, doing favors for the town's people. My dad always said that's how people learn to grow on you. "Do good deeds and they'll come back to you" he would say. My dad was the best. He had this orange stubble that would tickle me when he would blow on my tummy. How I loved my father.
While we looked for butterflies I couldn't help but wonder why I was here? There was something pulling me away from here. But I just brushed off the feeling. I looked at April who was deep in her work for looking the butterfly. She was always the brave one in our family. I always wished that I was that brave and that I would be like her.
"What's wrong Naomi?" April asked. I guess she found me staring at her.
"Nothing. Just thinking that all." I returned to look for it. April smiled slightly and returned to her work. As I looked over the flowers I sense of dread came over me. If I was here then….then…..wait…why can't I remember? What…..why can't I think straight?
"Because your here, Naomi." April said. My head jerked up. Did she just read my mind? "Yes I did Naomi."
"What? Where am I then? Why can't I remember?" I shouted at her. Tears stung my eyes as I tried to hold back the tears. April smiled and walked over to me.
"The reason why you can't is because you don't want to. Now that you're here you want to forget the things that have already happened. But Naomi you need to remember. Remember every detail, every pain, and every thought that has happened to you. Then confront it. That's the only way to let go." She said bringing me into a hug. She smelled like air and mists of water. How I remember that smell.
"I don't want to leave.' I choked out.
"We know you don't but you have too. If you did you'll be leaving behind friends that need you." She said. Friends…if I did have them….why can't I remember?
"I can't hear them…I can't remember their voice or what their face looks like?"
"You have to try. Remember mom's story book she used to read to us? What did the queen's daughter do when she found out who she was?" she asked me. I remember some of the story but not all of it. It had something to do with something…but what?
"She stood on the cliff where her mother died and listened. But the book didn't say for what though." I answered her. She pulled away and looked me in the eyes.
"She listened for the answer. She listened for her mother to show her the way. Your friends are like that. If you listen they will give you an answer. They'll be your guide." April disappeared and the floor began to crumble under my feet. Before I realized it I was that the cliff. In front of me was the ocean. It was blue and smelled like mist and fresh air, "listen for them….." I closed my eyes and concentrated. The wind blew my hair back and brushed against my face.
"Naomi…." That was Duke's voice!
"Naomi!" Scarlet!
"Naomi…wake up girl!" that was Ripcord!
"Now's not the time to die Naomi."That was Breaker's!
"You're stronger than this!' Heavy Duty!
"Naomi please! Wake up….don't leave!" Snake Eyes! I could remember them now! Their voices were so clear and so close! It was like they were right next to me. My heart sped and my mind began to spin.
"Don't forget us Naomi. We're right there with you. Good luck." Said April. A tear escaped my eyes as my body began to feel lighter and lighter till I couldn't tell if I was floating or not. Never will I forget my goal…..never again will I want to die…..I won't leave my new family…..I will stop Doctor Naji and make sure no child will go through what I had to endure…never again….
xXx
A blinding white light made my eyes hurt with enduring pain. My breath hitched as a crushing force wrapped around me and squeezed.
"Snake let the girl breath!" shouted a person. From what I could tell it was the doc's voice. The crushing force stopped and I could breathe again. I tried to open my eyes again but the light was too much for me.
"Can…..someone turn down…..the lights." My voice croaked. It was weak and dry and was causing my head too hurt.
"Someone hit the damn lights." Rip's voice echoed in my ears. The lights dimmed down and I was able to open them. Around me stood Scarlet, to my right, and then came Ripcord. Next to him was Duke, Breaker, and Heavy Duty. As for Snake…..
"Naomi?" I looked to my left to see Snake Eyes. He was the closest to me. His hand held mine in his hand.
"Hey guys. Did we win?" I asked them.
"They got the weapons case but at least you still here." Rip joked. Scarlet shot him a look and returned to me.
"How are you?" she asked me.
"Tried, nothing to worry about." I smiled at her. But Scarlet didn't smile back. She looked sadder than ever, "what's the matter?" I looked at everyone. Their faces were sad.
"What's the matter? What are you guys not telling me?" I asked them. Duke walked over to where the doc was and asked for something. The doc then handed him something and returned to me.
"Naomi…..what is this?" Duke held up what he was holding. A knife. Along the hilt was a black spider with a red ruby in the center of his body. My breath catched and I squeezed Snake's hand.
"It's a knife Duke. What did you think it was?' I tried to smile but I couldn't.
"No…what I meant was….what is this to you. When the doc was pulling it out you kept saying "her mark." Who's mark? And why does it scare you so much?" Duke asked me. That's why they're so sad. What was bothering me is now bothering them too. I didn't want to get them involved but it looks like I have to.
"When I get out of this bed I will answer all your questions. As for now….I need to think." I said. Their faces didn't change but they respected my answer. They patted me on the back and left the room. I watched as Snake gave my hand a squeeze and began to leave, "Snake!" I grabbed his hand before he could leave. He turned and looked at me, 'can you stay for a bit longer?" he nodded and moved to sit with me on the bed.
"Are you feeling alright?" he asked me. Snake sat behind me. I leaned against his to relax as he wrapped his arms around me, "I'm worried. You scared me for a moment when Rip was carrying you." He said tightening his grip around me.
"Actually Snake, no. She's back and there's no running from her. Not this time.' I said. Snake placed a hand on my chin and forced my head back to look at him.
"You won't be alone this time. You have others who care. Don't forget that." He said. I nodded and lightly placed a kiss on his masked lips. His grip tightened and I fell back into his arms, "sleep. You need your rest." He said. Again I nodded but this time my body lost the fight to sleep. I was so tired but I didn't want to dream. If I did, then I would dream of them…..or her. But as of now they didn't come. Even my mind wanted to sleep for a while.
xXx
When I woke up a few hours later, the doc had given me the ok to leave. He handed me my clothes and I headed for the bathroom. Once I got myself cleaned up and dressed I headed for Clayton's room. I stood in the door way and watched as his heart monitor went. I couldn't help but think that it was my fault that it was my fault that he got wounded. My feeling was right and many people paid the price for it.
"Miss Hunt." Spoke the Doc's voice. I turned my head to the side to see him stand beside me, "he's a tough bastard, I'll give him that. How are you holding?" he asked me.
"I could've stopped this." I spoke in a slight hiss.
"No you couldn't Naomi. Something else would've happened and where would that put us? Don't blame yourself." He said. I turned my gaze to the floor when I felt a hand on my shoulder, 'hit those bastards extra hard for me when you face them." I smiled and nodded my head in agreement. I took one last look at Clayton and decided to do him a favor. I walked over and bent down so I could whisper in his ear.
"Dream of that dream house that you've been wishing for and let your mind wonder. You deserve the rest." I whispered and left the room.
As I exited the med room I saw Duke, Scarlet, Ripcord, and Heavy Duty walking towards the command room. I decided to follow and listen.
"With their weaponry, financing and Intel, these guys are high lined pro. That limits the possibilities." Heavy Duty spoke. I quietly walked behind them and made sure I wasn't heard.
"Hey, the weapon case." Rip spoke up. They stopped and looked at him.
"What?" Duke answered.
"Remember, McCullen had us open the weapon case?" Rip explained.
"What about it?" Scarlet asked.
"I bet you they gave us a code that reactivated the tracking beacon." Rip said. He's right!
"Your right. McCullen, the son of a bitch." Duke said. I couldn't agree more.
"So, McCullen uses NATO to fund hid R&D and he steals the war heads back." I spoke up. Rip jumped and they turned to me.
"What are you doing here?" Scarlet asked me.
"I just got out. When I saw you guys I decided to listen in and it looks like we've got a job to do."I said.
"And who said you're not a thinker." Duke pointed to Rip. Both me and Scarlet rolled our eyes at the comment.
"Hey, I found her!' breaker yelled at us down the hall. We them followed him to the command room where pictures of Ana and a man where standing. Ana was wearing a wedding dress next to the man. Looks like she got hitched, "her name is Ana de Cobray. Baroness, if you're feeling formal.'
"Baroness? Wow, she really traded up huh?' Rip stated which in return, Duke shot him a glance, "financially, of course."
"Who's he?" Duke asked. Wait a minute? I know this man!
"His name is Daniel de Cobray. A very big scientist in France. Runs a lab in Paris." I said. They turned to me like I was crazy. I just shrugged my shoulders at them. But as I stood there I felt hand slip around mt waist and fold neatly on my stomach. I smiled as I felt a hard body pressed against me, "hello Snake."
"Feeling better?" he asked me. I nodded and returned to the screen.
"How do you know him?" Scarlet asked me.
"He is a friend of mind. In my story, he houses one of my friends who lives with him. If we're looking for him I could call her. I keep tabs on everybody from my past." I said. The mood in the room got better, knowing that we've gained a foothold in this battle.
"You said lab? What kind?" Scarlet asked.
"Particle accelerator.' I answered.
"Oh my God. They're going to use him to weaponize the war heads.' Scarlet said.
'Well, that's where she's going.' Duke said. I reached into my pocket and took out my cell phone. I made Snake let go of me so I could make my call.
"I like croissants.' Heavy Duty said. I chuckled at what he just said. As I dialed the numbers I couldn't help but feel joy growing in my stomach.
(Phone Call)
"Hello?" said the voice on the phone.
"Hey Sam, its Naomi. How are you?" I asked her.
"Naomi? Oh my, God! It really is you! I'm doing well, how are you?" Sam asked me. From what I could tell from her voice, she was surprised to hear from me.
"Good. Hey listen; do you still live in Paris right? With Daniel de Cobray?" I asked her.
"Of course! Why wouldn't I? You placed me here and let me tell you, I love it!" she told me. When I was figuring where to put us I decided to place Sam and a few others in Europe.
"That good to hear. Listen I need you to do me a favor."
"What do you need?" she asked me.
"Me and my team are heading to Paris to for a mission. I have a bad felling something might happen so I was wondering if you could come along with me. You can still bend metal right?' I whispered into my cell.
"Bend metal yes. As for the mission…why the hell not. I've been wanting to get some action for a while." She said.
"Thanks Sam. We'll pick you up sometime tomorrow around _. Is that ok?" I asked her.
"Perfect. Come by the mansion and I'll be ready. See ya soon." She said and hung up the phone. I too closed my cell to face everyone. We decided that it would be best to go to Paris and find Daniel before McCullen did. We are leaving the next morning at 0500 hours. Just enough time to get some sleep.
(LIME! Skip if you don't want to read!)
As walked down to my room I didn't feel tired at all. I reached into my back pocket for the sleeping pills…..not there? Oh, that's right. Snake took them. Great. When I reached my door I turned around to face another. Snake's room. Snake hasn't returned from the command room so maybe I could go in and get them before he notices? If I got caught…well its worth the risk.
When I entered Snake's room I couldn't help but laugh. It looked like the temple in Japan. He certainly loved that place, let me tell you. I looked through the places where I thought he would place them but they weren't there. Great. I turned around from his dresser to look somewhere else when I ran into something hard. I looked up and saw Snake without his mask on. He held up a orange bottle with pills and shook it.
"Looking for this?" he asked me. I gave a smirk then knocked the bottle away from him. As it rolled I ran after it only to be knocked down by Snake Eyes.
"Snake I need those." I told him getting up.
"No you don't." said and pushed me back down onto his bed.
"Why don't I? They help me sleep and not dream. I need them." I told him. I watched as he closer to me. He knelt down to my eye leave and whispered in my ear.
"Because…..I need you.' He said and returned to my face. He closed the space in between us as he kissed me. I wrapped my arms his neck as our kiss became deeper and deeper. He slowly pushed me back onto his bed and set himself on top of me. We then came for air and looked at each other. Lust was in his eyes as well as love. He kissed me again slowly but then moved to my neck. I moaned as he left light butterfly kisses down my neck. When he came to my spot I couldn't help but moan again. He kissed the spot again and lightly sucked on it. I shivered beneath him as he left his mark on my neck and then continued with his low torture. When he came to my shirt he grabbed the ends of it and lifted it above my head. He stopped and pulled back to get a good look at me.
"Snake….don't stare at me like that." I said and went to cover myself up but he caught me.
"Your beautiful." He said and kissed the top of my breasts. I moaned at the feeling of his lips on me. But something was bothering me. I pushed him back to look at me again, "what's wrong?" he asked.
'Not fair. Yours still dressed.' I said pulling at his body suite. He gave a shot chuckle and took off his top half of his body suite. I smiled and placed my hands on his chest. His skin shivered underneath my touch as I moved my hands up and down his chest. I leaned forward and lightly kissed his dark color nipple. He gasped as it grew hard. I again lightly kissed it and took it into my mouth. I rolled it over my tough and bit it softly. He groaned and took a hold of my shoulders for support. I switched to the other one and gave it the same treatment. Snake pulled me from his chest and looked me in the eyes. His hands ran from my shoulders down to my back for my bra clasp. He then unhooked it and tossed it across the room. His hands went immediately to my breast and lightly squeezed them. I half gasped and moaned at the feeling. Never before had Snake touched me like this. I closed my eyes as I allowed his hands to roam over them. He squeezed, pinched, and massaged them but my eyes shot open as I felt something wet and hot cover one of them. I fell back onto the bed as he tasted my skin. The feeling of his tongue was too much for me to handle. I moaned loudly as he sucked and bit them. He switched to the next one and gave it the same treatment. When he was done he moved back to my mouth and kissed me hard. His hands went from my face slowly down my body to my pant buckle ready to…, "stop!' I pushed Snake off me so I could think and look at him.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" he asked me.
"No…..you did great, it's just that….it's too fast. We're going too fast." I told him. His face grew a bit sad from my rejection but then slightly turned to a bit more relived.
"I understand. I was rushing you." He said. I smiled and kissed him softly, "but, can you stay?" he asked me. I reached over and grabbed my shirt from the floor and out it on. I grabbed Snakes hand and led him back to bed. I rested my head on his chest as I feel asleep in Snakes arms. As I did I didn't worry about the world or about Doctor Naji's plains. I felt at peace…..like nothing could harm me here….finally safe….
xXx
I woke up the next morning around 4 in the morning to get dressed. When I did Snake wasn't there. I figured he had already gone to breakfast so no one could see his face. So the only thing to do was to get dressed too. Since we're going to Paris undercover, we decided to dress in everyday clothes. I walked over to my room and took a quick shower so I wouldn't stink before we took off. After I was done I went to my dresser and grabbed a pair of faded jeans and a plain white tee-shirt. I grabbed my hair brush and walked over to the mirror that hung on the wall. As I brushed my hair I noticed the faded numbers that were marked on the side of my neck. X was the name that they gave me. They continued till they reached XXX50. They gave those to us so they could tell what happened to whom. Lora was called subject 0. I had never seen someone so crazy for blood before. It was…..horrifying.
"Knock, knock." Came a voice. I turned around to see Snake Eyes in the door way. He was back to wearing his mask along with a black coat with a hood to hide his mask.
"Hey." I said and walked over to him to plant a kiss on his masked lips. He placed a hand on my lower back and led me out the door. As we walked we said nothing to each other about last night, seeing it was awkward to talk about it.
When we reached the hanger, we boarded the plain that would take us to Paris. I sat next to Snake in the back while Rip took a seat next to Scarlet who had the same iPod as him. Funny. Duke sat near the front while Heavy Duty paced. Breaker was tinkering with one of his devices. I was fiddling with my phone while the plane it took off. The ride was quiet except for the sound of Snake sharpening his swords along with mind. I told him I could do it but he insisted that he do them. Ripcord and Scarlet smiled at each other every time they met face to face. If they don't quit that I am going to tell them to admit that they like each other! Duke smiled at them for their acting as well. We both found it funny that their like this when people are around.
When we landed there were two white vans waiting for us. Snake, Duke, Ripcord, Heavy, Scarlet, and Breaker loading into the one while I got in the other.
"Naomi where are you going?" Snake asked me over the commlink.
"I need to go pick up a friend. I can hear you if you need anything. I'll meet up with you later. Good luck." I said and my van took off in the other direction.
"Be careful." He said back to me. I smiled at his concern. He wouldn't let anything happen to me.
Paris was beautiful! The city its self was so amazing. No wonder I put a few kids here. A perfect place to grow up in. When we pulled into Daniel de Cobray's mansion Sam we waiting for us. Sam is now a middle-aged woman with cherry color hair and light brown eyes. After I had placed her here, her skin came back to its natural tan color and her weight was back to normal. She looks better now.
"Naomi!" she ran over to me as I stepped out of the van. She embraced me in a hug then held me an arms length, "God, It's been ages!" she told me. I noted to the driver to take off while Sam showed me inside.
"You still have those hover boards right?" I asked her. She smiled and led me to a garage that held at least 4 cars and a truck. Inside a small room was a work bench that held every piece of technology that you can possible think of. On the rack on the wall were two oval shaped surf boards with tech patterns running through the base of it.
"Right here. I haven't tested them out yet but they should work." She said handing me one. Once we got outside, I activated mine so that it hovered above ground for a few feet.
"Looks fine." I jumped on mine and took it for a spin. I swerved around plants, fountains; patio chairs and tables, and then returned back to Sam, "their perfect! Remind me to get you a job at the Joe's. We could use you on the team." I said. Sam shook her head and activated her board. There we took off and headed for Daniel's lab. As we rode in the air I couldn't help but do tricks. Loop de loops, along with skateboarding moves. I never felt so free before!
"Take it easy! I'm still working out the kinks!" Sam shouted over to me.
"Alright, alright!" I said.
When we reached the lab we watched as a black hummer took off. Snake jumped out of the white van and went after it. Next went Duke in his suite. He jumped and barely missed an oncoming car. Ripcord was next but he fell out of the van…..then got hit by a car…ouch.
"Naomi do you read?' shouted Heavy Duty in my ear piece.
"What's the word Heavy D?" I asked.
"The weapons are activated and are on the move. Where the hell are you?" he answered.
"Right above you. Listen is Daniel alright?" I asked him.
"No…sorry girl. But now's not the time to grive. We got to move." He said. I hung my head in silence then turned into my warrior mode. We followed the white van as it took off after them.
"Right. Listen, me and Sam will stay up here and make sure that no one gets hurt. You guys make sure you get those assholes. It's payback time." I said and we took off after them. I looked over at Sam, "give me your powers. I need to get in this fight.' She reached over and grabbed me by the hand. I absorbed her powers till I got enough of it. As we were flying in the air we bended people's car out of the way and helped any that were flipped over. I watched as Snake held on to the bottom of the hummer, 'Snake you better hang on to that hummer or so help I will personally kill you if, you get hurt." He heard me and chuckled into the comm.
"Heavy it's getting pretty thick out here." Scarlet said as she dodged a flying car that me and Sam caught. The people watched as everyone who got flipped over was safe when they were placed right side again.
"Their driving into the heaviest traffic. What kind of escape route is that?" Heavy answered her.
"Maybe they're not trying to escape. Maybe their heading somewhere?" Breaker chimed in.
"Possible target?" I asked.
"Yes, some place with a lot of metal." He said. I looked up the see the Eiffel Tower straight head. Shit!
"They're going to blow it up." Heavy said, "All units!"
"Guys we have to stop them!" Breaker said frantic.
"Sam kick it into over drive! We have to go!" I said and bolted forward, "Heavy me and Sam are on it! If they come near this thing we'll be ready. Try to stop them in time!" I said.
"Roger girl. Good luck." He said. Me and Sam raced ahead of them and were able to reach the tower. We turned around in time so that I watched as the black hummer was hit by the train. My heart stopped….,"SNAKE!" I shouted into my comm.…..but no answer came, 'No! Snake answer me!" I tried again but no answer. I then watched as Storm and Ana got out of the hummer wreckage and run in different directions.
"Duke! Ana's carrying the detonator while Storm Shadow has the warhead! Guys stop them." Scarlet said.
"Duke and me will get Ana. Rip head for Storm." I said and turned to Sam, "if the warhead comes catch it! Take my power. Create a force field and wait till their detonated. It's all up to you now." I said and went after Ana and Duke. Sam nodded and waited for the warhead.
By the time I reached Duke he was half way up the building.
"Duke jump on!" I shouted and he did. When we reached the roof top we watched as the warhead was heading towards the tower, "come on Sam catch it." Then a blast of blue surrounded the warhead and was brought down to the ground, 'Duke the switch! Hurry!" Ana aimed her gun at us and fired. We were able to jump off in time but went free falling towards the building. We gained our footing and charged towards Ana who again fired at us. The glass below us shattered as we were hit by the blast. Cuts lined across my face as I hung to one of the metal bars, "Duke we got to hurry! Sam can't hold on much longer!" He nodded and again we charged for Ana who got into her craft. My body hurt like hell and warm blood covered my hands and face as we ran for her. AS we came to the end we jumped forward and landed inside the craft. I slid to the wall hitting my head as I watched as Duke hit the kill switch.
"Congratulations Duke, you just saved Paris." She said before Storm knocked him out. Ana turned to me, see that I was still awake and raised her fist to knock me out but was stopped.
"Harm her and I'll kill you." Storm's voice was cold. I watched as Storm lifted me up in his arms to cradle me, "Naomi, can you hear me." he reached for the back of my hand to see that I was cut, "get me the first aid kit. Hurry!" he ordered Ana. I tried to listen to what she was saying but her voice grew quiet. My body then lost its feel as my vision blurred. I tried to stay awake but it was so hard. Storm yelled at me but I couldn't hear him as I gave into the dark once again…
