Chapter 3: the move

At sigma r.o.c.c:

"These two are the murder couple," Scarlett said. "The female is Black Cat, but the weird thing is that the male is from Snake Eye's clan; Ian Arashikage."

Snake Eyes was amazed by the revelation. Black Cat and Black Flame… they looked familiar to him, but he could not remember...

"Sensei, is something wrong?" asked Kamakura, not taking his eyes off Snake Eyes.

"Sensei, they're…" said Jinx, "oh no, this can't be!"

Snake Eyes nodded in agreement.

"How come you know them but we don't?" Kamakura asked, pouting.

"Because you weren't with us before, Kamakura. This was a long time ago," replied Jinx sadly.

Snake Eyes put his hand on her shoulder and signed 'its okay; we must focus on Cobra for now, not the past'.

"Yes Sensei, you're right about this," replied Jinx.

Suddenly, High-Tech rushed in "Duke, Duke! Cobra! Power Stone!"

Wow, take a big breath, High-Tech," laughed Tunnel Rat.

High-Tech took a long breath. "I found a new power stone, and we must hurry before Cobra gets their dirty hands on it."

"What are the coordinates of the stone?" asked Scarlett.

"Yeah; right. It's in Japan, in Kyoto. In a hotel's garden not far away from the Arashikage," answered High-Tech.

"Okay team, here is the plan," said Duke in a commanding voice.

Meanwhile, at the Cobra base:

"As you see Commander, the Cobra troopers have found a new power stone in Japan," said Destro.

"We must hurry before the Joes get their hands on it," commented the Baroness.

"Yes, and that's why I'm sending Storm Shadow and the murder couple to deal with that," Cobra Commander declared.

Storm Shadow nodded and ordered Black Flame and Black Cat to follow him.

Black Flame's point of view:

I was happy when we started down the hallway; I would be visiting the Arashikage home again. I really missed the old days when I was with uncle Snake Eyes and Father. My happiness didn't last, however, as I suddenly got the bad feeling that something bad would happen there. I'd just have to hope these feelings were wrong.

This is all for today, next chapter will be up soon. I hope you liked it, bye!
