Hello guys, I'm back with the 6th chapter of King of Thieves. I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 6:
Loyde's POV
I make my way towards a cell at the end of the room. Storm sits on the bed cradling Shade in her arms staring blankly at the wall.
"Hey," I said startling her in the process.
"Gosh, you scared me," she said looking at me, "what do you want?" she groaned.
"I came to check on you," I said in my sweetest tone. She then rolled her eyes and resumes staring at the wall.
"I don't need you checking on me," she said coldly.
"Can I come in?" I asked ignoring her negative attitude, "it's been a while since I last saw you and Shade."
Rolling her eyes, she hesitantly nodded. I slowly make my way into the cage and sit next to her, "so uh, how've you been?" I asked trying to lighten up the atmosphere.
"I've been living a stressful life," she said shifting in her seat, "but it's been worth it," she said stroking Shade's hair.
"It sure was worth it," I said leaning back, "raising her by yourself must be difficult."
"You want to hold her?" she asked turning to face me; her brown eyes showing curiosity.
"Really?" I asked in slight disbelief. She then looks to the ground, "well, you are her father after all," she said pointing out the facts.
"Sure," I said stretching out my hands. She places Shade in my arms allowing me to hold her closely. She shifts in her sleep until she makes herself comfortable by leaning against my chest, "she's beautiful," I said in awe at her bright yellow fur that was silky soft.
"I am her mom after all," Storm cockily remarked flipping her brown hair.
I roll my eyes at her statement and continue to admire my little angel "do you remember?" she asked looking out the cell window.
"Remember what?" I asked shifting my gaze to her.
She then turned to me, "the day that got us into this situation," she said stroking our daughter's hair.
"Oh, I remember," I said looking at her.
*Flash back no one's POV*
"Are you sure about this Loyde?" a younger Storm asked nervously rubbing her bright yellow furred arm. The two had decided to go for a little fun time at a night club.
"Oh come on babe, since when have I ever been wrong?" a drunken Loyde said to his girlfriend, "so come on my Queen, let's get to it," he slurred.
"I don't know, what if I became you know…" she said crossing her arms.
Loyde clasped her hands in his own, "don't worry; it's going to be okay."
*End of flash back Loyde's POV"
"I was an idiot," I chuckled.
"The biggest one," Storm said earning an eye roll from me, "but then again, it's the biggest idiot that gave me the most beautiful thing in my life," she said flashing me a smile which I returned.
"Hey buddy, visiting hours are over," Dirk said pointing towards the exit, "leave this place now," he continued.
I passed Shade over to her mom and make my way to the door, "I guess I'll see you later," I said with a wave and walked out of the cell.
I make my way into my room and find Rage fast asleep on his bed snoring like an engine. I take a quick shower and plopped onto my bed immediately falling asleep.
No one's POV
The alarm clock blasted out rock music waking the duo up.
"What kind of alarm clock plays rock music?" Rage yells covering his ears.
"The kind made by sadists like Blake," Loyde said turning the machine off.
"Get ready boys, today's when you're have your first mission," Blake's voice boomed through the speakers, "your new armor will be here in the command room," it finished.
"You're gonna need armor if you do that again Rage said going into the bathroom.
The duo made their way into the command room and met Blake who appeared to have been waiting for them, "how was your night, boys?" he said pulling a cigarette from his mouth.
"So you said something about armor," Rage said ignoring the question. Rolling his eyes, Blake pointed towards two platforms, "awesome," Rage said running towards the platform with his partner following.
The platforms covered the duo in beams of light and slowly started to reveal them.
The first to be revealed was Loyde sporting the Volcanox Armor (into the Nexus), "this is awesome!" he said admiring himself.
Rage was soon revealed sporting an Ottsel's version of the Terachnoid Armour( same game), "I love it," he said doing the same.
"Now that you guys are suited up, you should be ready for your first mission," Blake said pressing a few buttons on his computer. It then projects a hologram of a Peace keeper base, "that there, is a peace keeper base," he said turning to face the two.
"What do we do with it?" Loyde asked walking up to the Slademan, "you are going to place bombs in these points," he said displaying the marked points on the base, "the explosion should be large enough to take it down completely," he said smirking.
"Piece of cake," Rage said cracking his fingers, "I've done worse," he continued.
"Then this mission shouldn't be difficult," Blake said turning back to his computer, "you have been equipped with a variety of weapons, all being accessible from your Quick selects," he said standing up, "now follow me," he continued and walked off with the duo following.
They reached a large hanger where a ship was waiting for them, "that is the ship you will be boarding," Blake said waving at the pilot, "it will take you to Endako in the Bogon Galaxy," he continued, "there you infiltrate the base in Megapolis and destroy it," he said, allowing the two to board the ship. With the wave, the ship took off.
After a long flight, the ship finally landed in the city of Megapolis, "Rage, wake up," Loyde said nudging his partner.
"Not now, I'm sleeping" he said, turning to his side. Loyde rolled his eyes, "wake up dude," he said now shaking him. Rage simply swatted his hands away.
Loyde then kicked him off of his seat making him hit the ground, head first, "that really hurt, why didn't you shake me?" he said rubbing his head.
"We're here," was all Loyde said before leaving the room.
"Jerk."
The two were now hiding outside the base, "how do we do this?" Loyde asked, still admiring his armor.
Rage projected a hologram of the base. It showed it in its entirety not leaving a single detail, "this base has a few unguarded entry points," he said typing something, "if we manage to get in from these points, we can plant the bombs in their designated places and escape undetected," he continued, "that is if we have sharp stealth," he finished.
"Obviously that's not a problem for the King of Thieves," Loyde said cockily said, "but for the Dork of Doom, I don't know if he'll make it," he smirked.
"Since you are skilled for this mission, lead the way," Rage said, rolling his eyes.
Loyde looked completely dumbfounded and lowered his head in defeat, "shut up and lead the way," he said crossing his arms to which Rage smirked and took the lead.
The two were standing outside a door disguised as peace keeper soldiers with the use of the Holo-guises Blake installed in their quick selects, "when we get in, you'll plant the bombs in the West side of the base, and I'll take the East," Rage said before running in his chosen direction while his partner ran off in his assigned one.
Loyde placed a bomb on in one of the control panels when a guard walked towards him, "hey, what are you doing here soldier?" she asked him, "I was just passing by and I noticed that the bolts on the panels were not tight enough," he said as casually. The soldier simply raised an eyebrow.
"Are you new here?" she asked as her blue eyes scanned him carefully, "we've never had a Lombax working here before," she said putting a hand on her chin.
"I'm sort of new to this galaxy," he said making eye contact with the female before him. She was a Markazian looking to be in her late twenties and had short blue hair styled into a bob suiting her curvy body.
"Well newbie, you should know that no soldier is to be around here," she said placing a hand on her hip.
Loyde decided to work up his charm. If he was going to get rid of her, he would need a bit of technique.
Biting his lip, Loyde looked the Markazian up and down and spoke in a seductive tone, "okay but before I go, can I ask you a question?" he said, getting closer to the female.
"Sure, go ahead," she said, blushing lightly.
Loyde got a bit closer, "are you seeing anyone?" he asked with the same tone.
"No, why?" she asked.
"Well, I wouldn't expect a beautiful woman like you to be all alone in this base full of ruthless men," he said with his signature purr.
"Actually the men around here act like feral kittens but since you've managed to impress me…" she said blushing hard, "you can do whatever it was that you were doing but just don't take too long," she said walking away.
Loyde let out a sigh of relief, "still got it," he praised. He then went off to plant the next bomb.
Rage walked through the engine room of the base looking for his next bomb target, "hey man, do you know where the launch vault is?" he asked using his most casual tone.
"Um actually, I'm not supposed to tell unauthorized soldiers about that," a mechanic said screwing up the ship's engine.
"Well I actually am an authorized pilot from another base," he said hoping the guy would buy it.
"Which base are you from?" he asked still suspicious.
"I am from…" he said thinking hard, "from the base in Metropolis," he nervously said
The mechanic gave him a suspicious look but then smiled, "well what are you doing here anyway?" he asked.
"I was visiting this base and I left my ship in the vault," Rage said less nervous than before, "I wanted to go check on it," he said.
"Why didn't you say so," the mechanic said laughing, "it behind that door, just type in 3890 on the keypad and it will open," he said walking off to another ship.
Rage walked to the door and typed in the code. The door revealed a room full of ships entering and exiting the base. He quickly placed the bomb on a ship monitor and rushed out of the room.
"Did you find your ship?" asked the guy from earlier.
"yeah I did, thanks man," Rage said walking out.
Loyde was now walking around the soldiers' quarters. He then entered a particular room and slowly made his way to the bathroom door. He then heard a yawn coming from the bed.
He quick lowered himself onto one knee and looked closely at the bed. It was the female Markazian from before sleeping of her bed wearing nothing but a T shirt and short shorts.
Loyde couldn't help but stare at her figure, 'maybe I could..,' Loyde drifted into thought, 'no, stick to the plan Loyde,' he snapped out of the thought and proceeded into the bathroom and planted the bomb.
He slowly made his way to the room's exit, "what are you doing in my room?" asked the Markazian pointing a blaster at him.
"I was looking for my room and must have stumbled here by accident," he said, knowing that his answer was pathetic.
"So does that mean you were going to place a bomb in your room?" she asked still aiming for him.
"Well you see um,"- he kicked the blaster out of her hand and pinned her down-"okay you got me, I wasn't looking for my room" he said pointing the blaster at her head.
"Why are you here then?" she asked.
"I am here to destroy this place," he said shifting a bit.
"If you want to survive, you better not tell anyone about this," he said in a rather threatening tone. The woman sighed in defeat, "fine," she said.
Loyde got off of her and handed her back her blaster. She then began to change into her uniform but stopped when she noticed that he was still looking at her, "um do you mind?"
Loyde quickly turned around and closed his eyes, "okay I'm done," she said. Loyde turned to face her and handcuffed her, "so what will you do with me?" she asked .
"I'm going to teleport you to the ship," he said typing in a code and she vanished.
Rage walked into a peace keeper bot room. It was filled with various bot that were shut down for the night, "hey you," said a voice from behind him, "why didn't you come earlier?" it asked revealing itself to be Land shark.
"I um was doing a night check on the bots," he said casually.
The Land shark gave him a smile, "I like your commitment kid but you should leave soon, I'm going to be locking up soon," he said walking off.
Rage then proceeded to plant the bomb on the server and ran off to the base's core.
He entered a large room filled with a lot of bots patrolling. He then noticed his partner hiding in a corner.
"Did you manage to plant all the bombs?" he asked joining him in his hiding spot.
"If I didn't would I be here?" he replied sarcastically.
Rage rolled his eyes, "do you think we'll be able to sneak past those guys?" Rage asked observing the robots. Loyde simply continued to stare.
"I would like an answer now," Rage said crossing his arms.
"We are not going to sneak past them," Loyde said summoning his Vipers, "we are going to fight them," he said loading them.
Rage sighed but did the same, "get me close to the system and I'll do the rest," he said getting ready.
The duo ran into the robots and began firing. A few robots were taken down Rage blasted the head of one. Loyde threw a grenade that destroyed the robots guarding the core.
"Cover me," Rage said as he began planting the bombs. Loyde proceeded to shoot at the robots taking down a number of them in the process. He finally managed to take down the largest one leaving a few of them standing.
Suddenly tear gas is sprayed into Loyde's eyes blinding him, "I've planted the bombs, now we should,"- Rage notices Loyde's state-"hold on I've got your back," he said running up to his blind partner and jumped onto his shoulder.
"What's going on?" Loyde asked trying to shake off the weight on his shoulder.
"Calm down man, it's me," Rage said reassuring his partner.
"What are you doing?" Loyde asked shooting in a random direction.
"I'll tell you the directions, just shoot."
"Left," Rage said, Loyde shooting in said direction taking out a robot, "right," Loyde shot in the right direction taking out two of them, "duck!" Loyde ducked out of the way of an incoming missile, "throw a grenade ahead of you now!," Loyde threw the grenade destroying the last of the robots.
"The robots are done Loyde," Rage said hopping off his shoulder, "I'm teleporting us to the ship now."
The two spawned in the ship readying for takeoff, "dude, you should thank me," Rage said Loyde to his seat.
"For what?" he said sitting down.
"For saving your butt, "Rage cockily remarked.
Loyde gave out a sigh, "thanks man, I don't know what would have happened without you," he said closing his eyes.
"This will help you with your eyes," Rage said, handing his partner nanotech, "just pour it into your eyes," he said returning to his seat.
The ship finally arrived at Blake's base, "I can see, thanks man," Loyde said fist bumping his partner, "anytime pal," he said returning the bump.
The Duo walked to the control room where Blake walked towards them rather pleased, "well I can see you fulfilled the mission," he said with a smile, "how was it anyway?" he asked.
"It was okay," Rage said coolly crossing his arms.
"We also have a prisoner," Loyde said as the Markazian was brought into the room still hand cuffed.
"There was a chick on our ship the whole time!" Rage exclaimed, "the trip back would have been fun," he said with an evil smile on his face earning him weird looks from everyone in the room.
"Anyway…" Blake said breaking the silence, "the prisoner will be taken to a cell and you two can call it a night," Blake said walking back to his computer. The Duo then went to their room.
Rage lay quietly on his bed reading a Holo-magazine, "Dude, what the heck were you thinking when you said that in the control room?" Loyde asked coming from the bathroom.
"A guy has his needs man," he said flipping the page on his mag.
"You are sick," Loyde said plopping on to his bed.
"Why do you say that?" he asked shifting his gaze to his partner.
"Just look at what you're reading," he said shutting off the lights, "okay fine, I'm guilty" he said turning off the magazine.
"Night man," Loyde yawned.
"Night."
