The perfect team

Chapter 2: Mission gone bad

"Okay guys, you can go home now. Change is here!", Jaden announced as he and Alexis entered the building past the front door. The guards seemed reliefed that their shift was over and they could see the rest of the football play at home. Jaden and Alexis waved them goodbye and waited until the men rounded the corner, before they stripped their Industial Illusions uniform off, so they were wearing their owns from Duel Academy. That was for Jaden obviously a blood-red jacket, black shirt and black pants, but the problem was Alexis. She was wearing a white shirt with some blue stripes on it, nothing special so far, but instead of pants she wore blue mini skirt. How could she work with that? And how was he- or any other male Slifer- supposed to work with that, while being distracted by her long luscious legs…

"Stop thinking that way during work, Jaden!", he called himself back.

As a killer you had to always be on your guard, your mind online even when you sleep, but that was not Jaden's style. He was neither controlled by his mind, nor by his emotions, he worked only with his instincts, because they never failed him. And right now they were going nuts. Something was wrong, terribly wrong! Immediately his senses were alerted and 200 ready for everything. They got out of the elevator and rounded a corner. There they were, right infront of a steel door. Behind that door there would be, what they were searching for. Until here, no problems.

And that was the problem!

"This can't be. It's too easy!", came Bastion's voice out of his communicator. "Brace yourself for everything."

"We have to go offline now, because the systems inside that room would pick us up and then we're doomed. You'll be alone for some time…", added Hasselberry, then the communicator went off. Jaden knew they were right with everything:

No security up here?

Only some guards at the entry?

No way in hell!!!

"Alexis, I think…", Jaden began, but it was already too late.

"I'm through the security system. The door is opening."

"Fear so!", they heard a voice. Behind the door were waiting a dozen men with electric staffs and guns with anesthetic ammunition (sorry, don't know the exact expression and didn't find it in my dictionary), grinning like idiots.

"I kind of saw that coming…", Jaden exclaimed, pulling some daggers out of nowhere and throughing them directly at the men. "Alexis, get behind me."

His partner was about to do so, but was grabbed by the elbow from one of the men, who hadn't been harmed by the daggers. The Obelisk Blue struggled against his hold, but the guard was just too strong for her to take. Jaden saw that and reacted immediately. He threw one dagger right into the men's arm, with which he was holding Alexis, who automaticly ran past the Slifer Red, not to get in the fireline. In the mean time Jaden had already pulled out more daggers and was crossing his arms infront of his chest, prepared to through them the moment, someone made a move. That moment came close after, when one of the men shoot at him. The killer quickly through his daggers and then made a flip flop backwards to avoid the shot, even so it seemed a little futile, but, fortunately, it worked. Jaden knew, he had no chance against all of them, so he took two round objects from his pockets and rolled them over the floor to his oponents. Only seconds later the whole floor was filled with smoke. Hastily Jaden grabbed Alexis by her wrist. She was coughing madly and tears showed in her eyes, because of the burning smoke. He pulled her with him. The smoke had no effect on him, since he was used to it.

"If I remember correctly, there should be a window at the end of the next floor."

They turned back the way they came, rounded the corner and…

…found three more security guards!

"Damn!", Jaden thought.

However, he quickly let go of Alexis, jumped and kicked the first man. As soon as he had ground under his feet again, he made a fast circular motion and threw his shuriken the moment he took sight of the other two men.

Poor guys…

They had no chance.

Next moment, Jaden and Alexis were already running again towards the window front. Jaden grabbed his partner again and told her to hang on. With that he jumped. Glass broke and cut them both, then they were falling. The Slifer and the Obelisk had a wonderful view of the city by night, too bad it would be their last. They were in the 64th floor and falling- fast! But Jaden wasn't ready to give up live like that, besides, he never went anywhere without his parachute. So he was prepared for everything…

"May I ask you a question?", Alexis whispered, while by now they flew over the rooftops.

"Sure."

"Why don't you use guns like all the others?", she asked. "I mean, in a world as fast as ours it would be…easier for someone with your job."

"Ah, I knew you wondered."

"So?"

"Oh, well, it has to do with my idol: Yugi Muto. He the most feared killer in the world- even so, of course, he could also work as an Ra Yellow or an Obelisk…"

"He doesn't work for the Kaiba Corporation at all!", Alexis interrupted.

"Yeah, I know- just saying…", Jaden answered. "However, he never used a gun in his lifetime and for a while I wondered why. I knew, it would be more simple to use one and he must knew too. So I asked myself why and one day I came to an answer…"

"That would be?"

"Well, of course I'm not sure, if that's his point, but… You know, everyone can pull a trigger, even a littlekid, that's no big deal. But fighting with the old methods, fighting with a sword or daggers or a bow… that's an art, because you really need skill with those."

"I see. That's kind of…deep."

"Thank you."

Then they landed. Jaden hastily dropped the parachute under a rubbish heap in a dark alley and then they headed towards a main street.

"Taxi!", Jaden shouted. "16th avenue, please. And fast!"

"Yes, sir!", the driver responded.

"We are not going back to the hotel?", Alexis wanted to know.

"No. If Pegasus knew, we would come tonight, then he most certainly knows, were we lived by now…", Jaden whispered back.

"But that would mean…"

"Yeah. We have a traitor in the organization."

"And Bastion and Hasselberry?"

"Well, if they are not already dead or captured…"

"They are our friends, Jaden, how can you think…"

"What do we know about them, Lex. We don't even know their names."

"And what do we know about each other. We're suspicious too, then."

"Yeah, but, you know how love makes blind, right?", Jaden grinned. "And besides, we can keep each other in check, while we're together, don't you agree?"

Alexis nodded, sighing. This mission hads become a complete disaster.

"At least now we know about the double agent. But who is he or she?"

Quickly paying they got out of the car. Jaden led Alexis to one of the first houses in the street and took out some keys. They entered and took the elevator. Here Jaden would use another key to get to the 25th floor. When the elevator's door opened, the apartment was right behind them, there was no other door. And since you can only accsess this floor with the right key, they were safe for a while.

"This is my apartment. I prepared it for the situation, that I would have to run and hide."

"Not very secret, considering the place!", Alexis pointed out.

"That's the trick. No one would seek me here, I mean, it would be kind of obvious. And you know the old saying: Keep your friends close, but your enemies even closer."

Alexis nodded again. Jaden had already thrown his jacket on the couch and was now going to his bedroom for a change. He also searched for some closes, Alexis could wear, because she had to get out of her uniform. However, the killer soon noticed, he would have to go shopping tommorow…

(Scene change)

Back at Industrial Illusions there were two persons in the dark, watching the video tapes of the attack. One of the two had long, white hair, which covered one of his brown eyes. In one hand he hold a glass of wine. The other person in the room hoever, waited in the dark. Suddenly Pegasus had to chuckle.

"What do we have here. Two lovebirds, how sweet."

As the other one frowned, Pegasus began to gigle.

"Instead of killing the Obelisk Blue, because she got captured and safe himself, this boy did everything he could to bring them both to safety. If that's not a sign oftrue love, than what else could it be?"

The door opened.

"We couldn't get the Ra Yellow agents. When we arrived at the hotel, they were already gone, Mister Pegasus!", Croquet (sp?) reported.

"What?! You incompetend fool! It was an easy task and you…", the woman yelled, but never finished her sentence, because Pegasus interrupted.

"That's fine, Croquet. I didn't expect them to wait for their friends, while they knew, that these two had been ambushed. They surely counted 2 plus 2 and got to 4 and ran for their lives. I'll phone Kaiba for this and maybe I should get Yugi- boy to hunt them down. I mean, he always had his problems with Kaiba and his tricks…", Pegasus mused.

A/N: Oh well, that could get nasty… We'll see! Hope, you liked it!
