Welcome back to King of Thieves. I'm here with chapter 5 and I hope you guys enjoy.
Chapter 5: Let's see what you got.
A figure snuck into the room making sure not a sound was made. He slowly made his way towards the beds of the sleepy duo. The figure then pulled out a megaphone from its jacket, "wake up sleepy heads, resting time is up!"
Startled by the sound, the duo fell onto the ground rubbing their sore heads, "what the heck is wrong with you?" Rage asked eyes opened weakly.
"It's time for your training, don't be late," The figure who turned out to be Dirk walked out of the room.
"I'll make him late," Loyde said going into the bathroom to freshen up.
"Man I can't wait to get out of here," Rage said walking into the bathroom as well.
The two made their way to a training ground outside. It was filled with various equipment such as: weapons, dummies, gadgets, etc.
"Hello boys," Blake said approaching the two.
"What's going on Blake?" Rage replied, ignoring the greeting
Rolling his eyes, Blake Threw two devices into the duo's hands, "that was rude."
"That was the point," Rage said inspecting the device, "what is this anyway?" he asked still fondling with the device.
Growling, Blake typed in a code on a remote. The arena setting changed to fit that of a military base, "I brought you here to test you guys in various skills," he said placing the remote in its storage, "those devices are your quick select watches, you are only equipped with one weapon each because this is just an exercise," he said walking away from the duo leaving them at the base's entrance.
"So what's our objective Blake?" Loyde asked, observing the surroundings.
"This is an emulation of a peace keeper base," said Blake through a speaker, "you two are supposed to obtain a rare file located deep in the base."
"That shouldn't be hard," Rage said crossing his arms.
"Oh it will," said Blake's voice, "the file is heavily guarded by Peace keeper forces that are very capable of blowing you to smithereens if you're not careful," he warned, "so you may begin now," his voice said for the final time.
"Well here goes nothing," Rage said, going towards the entrance only to be pulled back by Loyde.
"You're going get us killed, idiot" Loyde said observing the entrance.
"What do you mean?" Rage asked startled by Loyde's sudden action.
"This is a peace keeper base," Loyde said pointing out the obvious, "they wouldn't just let us waltz in there," Loyde picked up a rock, "it's a trap," he said tossing the rock at the door causing it to shoot a large laser at the door step.
"Never realized that," Rage said rubbing his head.
"Come on," Loyde said running off in another direction with Rage following suit.
Rage's POV
I finally catch up to Loyde and join him in hiding behind a rock, "so what's the plan?" I asked looking beyond the rock seeing two peace bots guarding a door.
"Those guys are waiting for a transport truck," Loyde said turning to face me, "I want you to hide in the truck and when it's in, you find a way to access the air vents," he said turning back to the guards.
"What do I have to do after that?" I asked somewhat excited.
"From there you let me in and we get our little package," he said with a smile forming on his face.
"Okay, when's the truck getting here?" I said cracking my knuckles.
"Soon," Loyde said pointing towards a truck coming in the distance.
I give him a nod and ran towards the incoming vehicle, "okay, I've got to time this just right," I said waiting for it to approach, "okay, here goes," I said jumping and grabbing on to the edge of the truck's bed .I pull myself up and hide in one of the crates.
The truck stops and guards begin to inspect it. I heard the guard opening crates and finally approached the one I was in. luckily, the crate contained an engine and I managed to squeeze myself into it.
The guard opened the crate and felt inside. Fortunately, he didn't sense me and closed the crate. The truck then moves and eventually parks near a door. The driver then exits the truck and goes through the door leaving me alone in the parking space.
I come out of the crate and inspect the area for any peace keepers, "there's nothing here, great," I said hopping off of the truck.
I go through the door and find myself in a room with a robot that seemed to be staring at a computer screen. I quickly dive behind a box which catches the robot's attention, "who's there?" it asked startled by the sudden movement, "I must have used too much oil," it said turning back to its computer. I slowly make my way behind the robot and examine him.
Robot had an opening on his back which gave me an advantage, "I hope I still have it," I quietly said and my breath as I dig through my pants pocket.
I pull out a small device and place it into the robot's back instantly disabling it, "excellent, now let's check out the air vent system. It shows the coordinates and I install them on my communicator.
"Now let's check out the coordinates for the file," I said inputting a code onto the computer. It then displays the coordinates and I install them as well.
I got back on the ground and made my passed through a door that led me further inside.
"This place is not that bad," I said walking down a hallway. Suddenly two guards are heading in my direction. I hide behind a wall and wait for them to come closer.
"Hey Josh, you know how Hyena's are always laughing right?" Asked one guard.
"Yeah," replied the other.
"Well then tell me, what is a hyena's favorite fruit?" asked the first guard. The second guard simply shrugged, "a punana!" said the first guard causing them both to burst into a fit of laughter.
I rolled my eyes at the pun and checked my quick select for a weapon. I pressed the button and a Constructo Pistol materialized in my hands, "excellent," I said and readied my weapon.
The robots came into range of my weapon and I blasted them instantly. I then quickly rushed towards an air vent and screwed it open.
"Took you long enough," Loyde said, hopping out of the vent, "did you get any information on the file?" he asked looking around.
"Yeah, I have it on my communicator," I said projecting a hologram of the File's location from my communicator.
"Let's get going then," Loyde said running down the hall leaving me behind, "he has got to stop ditching me like that," I said following suit.
I find Loyde hiding behind a machine watching a door that seemed to be guarded by several robots, "how do we get past those guys?" I asked joining him in his hiding place.
"We take them on," he said summoning a pair of Dual Vipers from his quick select.
I give him a nod of approval and summon my Pistol.
I walk towards the robots causing them to aim their weapons at me, "this is a restricted area," said the largest one said, "you will be incinerated," it continued.
I smirked at the robot's statement, "I don't think so," I said blasting its head off. The other robots looked intimidated but kept their stances, "who's next?" I asked looking at them.
The robots began firing at me. I managed to take cover behind a metal crate, "um Loyde, a little help here!" I shouted through my communicator.
Loyde's POV
I jump out of my hiding spot and begin shooting the robots taken them out one by one. Rage then jumps out from behind a crate and begins to shoot as well, "what were you doing?" I asked, shooting down three bots.
"I was just taking cover in order to not get shot by the angry robots!" he shouts while shooting down two bots.
We finally take out all the robots and walk towards the door, "Rage, do you think you can unlock the door?" I asked noticing the keypad.
"I'll give it a try," Rage said typing something onto the Keypad.
After a few tries the door finally opened revealing a file on a podium in the center of the room.
"That was easier than I thought," Rage said walking into the room.
"I know right," I said walking in as well, "a little too easy if you ask me," I said again.
Rage approached the podium and grabbed the file, "now let's get out of here," he said approaching me.
We walked towards the door when suddenly the door slammed shut, "it's locked!" I said trying to open the door.
"Uh Loyde, that's the least of our problems," said Rage who appeared to be terrified of something.
I turn to look at what ever made him stare so much only to lock eyes with a Blargian Snagglebeast, "oh crap!" I said staring in fear.
The creature charged at us with full speed. Luckily, we dodged it just in time.
"How do you suggest we beat it?" I asked regaining my breath
"Judging by its size, it must need to gain momentum to move as fast as it did when it charged at us," he said observing the creature.
"So what do you suggest we do?" I said summoning my Vipers.
"We must tire him out," he said summoning his Pistol. I shoot at the beast barely leaving a mark.
"We should get him to charge into the walls and when he's finally exhausted, we shoot him," he said running off in another direction with me doing the same.
I got in front of the beast to get its attention, "hey dog breath, think you can take me out!" I shouted whilst aiming my gun at it. It gave out a loud roar and charged right at me.
I quickly dived out its way leaving it crashing into the wall. It rose to its feet and staggered a bit.
"Hey buddy your momma so hairy that when she took a photo on a camping trip, it was recorded as a bigfoot sighting," Rage said making faces at the creature.
It let out another roar and started charging even faster. If I didn't know better, the creature looked like it shed a tear.
It then crashed into the wall again, "looks like he took a lot of damage," I said lowering my weapons.
The creature rose again, this time shakily, "one more hit and he's down," Rage said from across the room. I looked at the creature and got in front of it.
"Hey Fido, come and get me," I said waving my arms in front of it.
With a loud roar, the creature charged towards me at full speed. I quickly dodge it and throw my Omniwrench at its feet. The creature lost its footing and flew into the wall, knocking it out upon impact.
"That's what you get Snagglebeast," Rage said, kicking its foot.
Our surroundings then change back into its arena form, "well done boys," Blake said approaching the Duo, "you guys are ready for your first mission," he continued.
"That's great," Rage said stretching his back, "but I need to catch some Zs," he said walking off to our room.
"Um Blake," I said scratching the back of my head, "what is it Loyde?" he asked giving me his attention, "Can I go see Storm and Shade?" I asked looking down.
"Of course you can," he said with a smile, "uh thanks Blake, it means a lot," I said returning a slight smile, "anytime," he said walking away.
