Hello readers. Sorry for taking ages to update but I'm back with chapter 9 of King of Thieves and I really hope you guys are going to enjoy it it. And here we go.

Chapter 9: The breakout

"Wake up," Loyde said shaking his partner, "dude, why so early?" he groaned. Loyde then shoved him to the ground.

"Go get ready, we're leaving soon," he said walking away, "ugh fine," he said walking off to the bathroom.

"Are you able to do a scan on the prison area?" Loyde asked approaching his partner.

"Can a proton Nero Ship Hack jump through hyperspace?" Rage asked grinning.

"That doesn't exist Rage," Loyde said dryly.

Rage's grin dropped, "forget it," he muttered turning to a computer.

"There are no guards patrolling the area but there are security cameras in the area," he said typing something in the computer, "so what's the plan Loyde?" he said turning to his partner.

"We're just going to sneak in, grab who we need and get out," Loyde said blankly, "it can't be that hard."

The duo slowly made their way down the hall to the cells, "looks like there's no one here," Rage said walking into the room.

"I'll go get Storm and Shade, you go get Ryan," Loyde said running off Rage did the same.

Rage's POV

I quickly made my way down the hall and found Ryan fast asleep in his cell. I opened the door and slowly made my way to him.

"Bro, wake up," I said tapping him, "mmm Chip, what are you doing here?" he asked half awake, "breaking us out," I said shaking him.

"Okay I'm awake, stop shaking me," he said sitting up, "so how are we gonna get out?" he yawned.

"Loyde is breaking out his family too," I said looking out the cell, "when he gets them free he'll meet us here and we'll bust out together," I said joining him on his bed, "so how was your night?"

Loyde's POV

I walked up to Storm's cell. She was fast asleep cradling Shade in her arms. I slowly entered the cell and walked up to her and gently tapped her, "Hey Storm wa-" SMACK!

"Get away from me you per"- she blushed in embarrassment when she realized what she had done, "Loyde I am so sorry," she said sitting up.

"It's okay though that doesn't usually happen when I wake a girl up," I said rubbing my cheek. She then gave me a weird look.

"Well I guess you're wondering what I'm doing here?" I asked changing the subject.

"Yeah, why are you here?" she asked.

"I'm breaking us out," I said stroking Shade's hair, "Rage and his brother will be waiting for us down the hall and when we meet we'll get out of here," I said looking at my communicator, "speaking of which, they are waiting for us," I said walking to the door.

Storm stood up and walked up to me, "well, let's get going, "she said walking out of the cage.

We slowly walked down the hall. Shade still fast asleep in her mother's arms, "Storm, keep going down that direction and you'll see them," I said facing her.

"What about you?" she asked confused.

"I've got something I need to check out," I said walking in another direction.

I searched the cells until I found what I was looking for. I slowly entered the room and approached the sleeping being and gently shook her, "hey wake up."
"What the…" she said opening her eyes and narrowed them at me, "what do you want?" she spat.

"To break you out," I said with annoyance in my tone.

She then swatted my hand off her and stood up, "but why are you breaking me out?" she asked facing me.

"Well I was breaking some people out and I couldn't just leave you," I said taking out my hand, "so are you in?" I asked casually.

"Fine, but I'm going to arrest you once we're out," she said taking it, "so where do we go?" she asked looking around, "follow me," I said with her following suit.

No one's POV

The two beings silently made their way through the halls and to their destination, "took you long enough and who's this?" Rage asked yawning.

"I'm Calvary, you're friend here kidnapped me from the base destroyed back in Megapolis," the Marazian said.

"Now that we're all set, let's get out of here," Loyde said walking further down the hall.

The group left the prison Area and walked through the main building's hall leading to the door, "I can't believe sneaking out was that easy," Rage said walking ahead of everyone, "I thought we were gonna have to fight our way out."

"Careful Chip, you might step on a tra-" Ryan said but was cut off by the sound of alarms.

"Oops," Rage nervously chuckled as he had stepped on a light sensor.

Everyone glared at him daggers before various robots began entering the area.

"Rage, get everyone to safety," Loyde said summoning his Vipers, "I'll hold em off," he continued.

"I can't just leave you here," Rage said summoning his Larcerator, "you're gonna need some help fighting off those guys."

"Fine, the rest of you should get to safety," Loyde said loading his guns, "come one Rage, let's deal with these guys."

Loyde's POV

As the others ran off, I shot down a few robots and progressed down one of the halls, "Rage, have they found a safe place yet?" I asked shooting a few droids in the process.

"Yep, they are waiting for at your ship," he replied tossing a grenade. Boom! A group of droids were destroyed.

"Hey furball, where do you think you're going?" spat Dirk who managed to find us, "I have killed many creatures before and I can't wait to add a Lombax to my collection."

"Unfortunately for you, that isn't gonna happen anytime soon," I smirked, "but fortunately for me, you're gonna be scrap metal."

Dirk lunged at me gripping me by the tail and throwing me across the room. I stumble up and dodge a right hook. I then counter him with my wrench and bash him in the head.

"You know, maybe I could trade your parts for new ones and I can upgrade the ship's trash compacter," I said waving my wrench at him.

He snarled and tackled me, punching me like there was no tomorrow, "die!" he growled eyes glowing red.

Suddenly he fell to his side, a gaping hole in the side of his head. I look to my left and saw Rage holding his gun, "not so tough are you, tin can!" he smirked.

Dirk suddenly rose to his feet and angrily marched towards him. Rage began shooting him but his blasts seemed to have no effect.

Dirk grabbed the gun and effortlessly crushed it in his grip, "Time to die rat," he growled raised his fist at him.

Mustering up all the strength I could, I hopped to my feet and ran up to him bashing his head with my wrench. He roared as oil splattered out of his head. He lunched at me and tackled me to the ground.

I weakly lay on my back as Dirk stood right above me. Laughing maniacally he rose his foot above my head, "prepare to di-" he was suddenly thrown across the room.

I glance around the room looking for whoever could have saved my life and my eyes land on Storm who was donning her black assassins' hoodie glaring at the droid.

Storm's POV

I look and the bot before me as it rose to its feet. It charged at me reaching its full speed. I charged at him as well and slid right under him.

I turned to face him and his damaged head happened to look surprised but it turned back to anger. He readied himself and right as he was about to charge me. KLUNK! His arm fell to the ground.

"Might wanna rethink charging at me," I smirked, holding my wrench in my hands. The droid let out a roar and charged at me.

I sprinted at him and side stepped allowing him to crash into the wall, "hey perv, do you think you can distract him for me?" I asked the Rage who simply nodded at me.

He looked at his communicator and then at the droid, "you're being beaten by a girl Dirk, no wonder Courtney left you!" he smirked at the droid who charged at him in response.

I quickly stepped on the droid and with my wrench; I tore off his other arm. The droid roared and turned to face me; "now you'll pay!" he roared and charged at me.

I quickly stepped out of his path leading him into crashing into a wall once again. I jumped onto his chest and placed my wrench around his neck and tightened it, "this ends now," I said and ripped off the droids head.

Sighing, I walked up to Loyde who weakly grinned at me, "even after four years of being apart I still have to save your butt," I said offering him a hand which he took instantaneously.

"Hey, if I've got a badass assassin with me, why should I worry about getting killed," he said and I playfully punched his arm, "stop it, you're flattering me," I said blushing lightly, "hey, I'm only telling the truth," he said gazing into my eyes and of course I gazed back.

"Loyde are you okay?" Rage said running up to us causing our gazes to break, "dude Storm, you were so sick out there," he said gleefully.

When he realized the current situation he glared at Loyde, "back off man, she's mine," he said glaring at his teammate, "you broke up with her."

"Awe, that is so cute," Blake said with sarcasm looming in his tone, "but I'm supposed to be killing you now," he glared at the three, "get em boys."

No one's POV

The droids charged at the trio shooting wildly. Loyde managed to summon his Vipers and shoot some of them whilst Storm took some of the in melee combat and Rage went for Blake.

"Hey Blake, why don't you get rid of me right here right now," Rage taunted whilst aiming his blaster at him.

"Listen rat, you're simply more of a nuisance than a threat so get out of my way," he snarled shoving the Ottsel away.

"Well you asked for it," Rage said as he shot Blake's leg forcing him to the ground.

"You'll pay for that runt," he growled handing his bleeding foot, "Droids, kill him!"

Three droids that appeared to less threatening than Dirk suddenly surrounded the Ottsel, "Hey fellas, let's not get crazy in here am I right," Rage nervously asked. Earning himself glares from the droids.

Rage quickly evaded a punch that was thrown at him and aimed his gun at the droid but was suddenly pulled away, "Loyde, what are you doing?" he asked hopping to his feet.

"Getting out of here now come on," he said running off as his partner followed him suit.

The trio then reached the outside and began panting heavily, "Okay I think we lost em," Storm said regaining her composure, "now we have to find the others," Loyde said copying the former.

"I'll send the message to Ryan on my communicator," Rage said typing onto his device.

As if on cue, Calvary, Ryan and Shade came out from behind a dumpster, "well that was creative," Loyde sarcastically remarked.

"Not my fault our hiding spot was written uncreatively," Ryan shrugged earning himself weird looks from anyone.

"Anyway, let's get going," Loyde said as his ship landed in front of the group.

"Okay everybody, buckle up, this might be a bumpy ride," Loyde said sitting in the driver's seat.
