"Get your ass in gear Volf!" yelled a woman as she sprinted down a hallway.
"You're not the one holding the package Widow!" spat the man back.
The woman darted to right and enters a room with the man Volf following. They each breathe heavily as they try to catch their breath. Volf drops the package and rubs his shoulder to relive some of the pain that he was feeling. For him being a big guy standing at 6'1, he was finding himself having trouble with the package that he and the Black Widow were told to steal. Not only was it heavy, the security in the building it was kept in was tight.
"Do you think any of this is strange? Think about it, we were told to steal whatever is inside that steel container and all we have to show for it is an army of armed security guards looking around for us," questions Volf as he stares at him female comrade.
"We are not getting paid to think and besides, we wouldn't have this problem if you didn't set off the alarm," replies the Black Widow as she rearranges her mask.
"I always wonder why you wore a mask? Is your face scarred or do you hate people seeing who is behind the mask?" asked Volf as she stares at the smaller woman.
"I prefer to keep my identity a secret, it insures that I live longer. And if someone finds out who I am, then I'm going to kill them," the Black Widows answers as she opens the door slightly to check out the area.
"Is the coast clear yet?" asked Volf as he bends over to pick up the package.
"Not yet, there are about three guards coming this way. If we keep quiet, we should go unnoticed," replies the Black Widow.
"I always wanted to know why a top rate pokemon hunter like yourself take up this kind of work from time to time?" asked Volf as he eyes the beautiful mask woman from the corner of his eyes.
"The pay is good and I need the exercise. Now, if you ask me one more question, I'm going to kill you," the Black Widow threatens.
"Whatever… Let's get out of here," Volf said as he picks up their steel incased package.
The Black Widow nods as she opens the door and walks out to investigate the hallway. Volf stands still as he waits for the signal. After a few seconds, three quick knocks alerted him that the coast was clear. He heads out and spots the Black Widow leaning against the wall. Upon spotting Volf, the Black Widow begins to walk down the hallway. Volf quickly follows. As they continue to head towards the exit, the Black Widow begins to feels uneasy. She stops as she looks at the two paths they could take. The one to the left leads to the exit while the one to the right leads to an underground port. Volf quickly notices that the Widow stopped.
"What's wrong?" he quickly asked.
"Something's not right," she quietly replies as she looks around.
"Could you please elaborate missy?" Volf sarcastically asked.
"The security…" the Black Widow began but stopped as she continues to think.
"What about the security?" asked Volf as he tried to contain the anger that was slowly rising.
"They completely disappeared," replies the Black Widow.
"So there're not here, so what?"
"It's a trap… They have a trap set up for us at the exit," the Black Widow says as she stares at Volf.
"Is that so… Guess the only thing we could do now is get ready for a fight," said Volf as he cracks his neck.
Just as the Widow said, there was a group of armed security guards waiting for the intruders at the exit. There're about ten of them and they all have stun guns and batons. Each of them stared down the hallway waiting for any signs that the intruders were coming. There patience was rewarded when they heard footsteps coming towards them. They aimed their stun guns and shot. Silence was the only thing that rewarded them. The guards look at one another with questioning looks but there attention was drawn to something rolling towards them. It was a small black ball. As it got closer, their eyes widen in realization. The black ball exploded and filled the hallway with smoke. Screams of pain and sounds of fighting filled the hallway. Heavy breathing could be heard as the smoke began to filter out due to the ventilation shafts. The Black Widow and Volf stood among the defeated guards.
"They were a lot tougher than they looked," said the Black Widow as she stood in front of Volf looking down at the guards.
"You got that right Raven," Volf said as he positions himself behind the Black Widow.
The Black Widow eyes widen in fear as she heard Volf speak her name. Forming a fist with her left hand, she quickly spins around and delivers the punch. Instead of hitting Volf's face, her fist connects with the steel container. She clenches her teeth in pain but the relief is short lived as Volf uses the steel container to slap her. Raven falls to the floor and looks up at him in rage. Before she could make a move, Volf kicks her in the gut sending her to the wall. He then proceeds to dislocate her left arm causing her to scream in pain. She sits up and glares up at Volf.
"When Walter finds out about this, you're done for!" screamed Raven as she continue to glare at Volf.
"Hahaha! I don't work Walter anymore love. Besides, I killed him two days ago," Volf said as he continues to chuckle.
"Then who gave you the orders for this mission?" asked Raven as she slowly regains control of her breathing.
"They go by the name of Iris," Volf replies as he draws his knife and stabs Raven.
Raven clenches her teeth to stop herself from screaming out in pain as he lets her mind digest the information. Volf stares down at her but slowly turns around.
"I would love to see the woman behind the mask but I'm short on time as it is. Don't worry babe, I'll see you in hell when I die a long time from now," Volf said as he runs towards the exit.
Raven puts her right hand in her pocket and pulls out a poke ball. She throws it and releases a Sneasel, upon seeing his master's condition, the Sneasel freaks out.
"Calm down Slade, I'll be find. Be a dear and release Honchkrow," Raven whispers as she puts pressure on her wound with her right hand.
Slade nods his head and reaches into her other pocket and carefully removes the poke ball that contains Honchkrow. He releases Honchkrow and looks back at his master.
"Take me… to… Shaman…" Raven gets out before she passes out.
Slade and Honchkrow freak out at their master's current predicament but Slade pulls himself together as realizes whom his master wants to be taken to. He tells Honchkrow where to go and helps put Raven onto its back. In a matter of seconds, they are off to the air in the direction of a temple. A temple where the master of death and spirits resides in, the one man that Raven truly trusts, Burning Shadows personal shaman.
