Kage's Story

Meryl looked over the files and records in front of her. "We need to hunt these people down and get them together right now." Johnny just nodded and pointing at the file codenamed "Desert Fox should be easiest to find she's still blowing up those pmc gekkos over in Africa right now." As Johnny said this a man rushed into the room with a shocked look on his face. "You guys need to see this some crazy chick just challenged the PMC Thunderbird in a armed crop duster."

Three Hours Earlier
"This is Tania Monlono at the scene where a PMC flying fortress is leveling whole cities in a attempt to rule Africa, Several other poor third world nations are featuring similar attacks however the U.S has gotten the worst of it by far when the Unidentified PMC dropped a atom bomb onto a U.S base here in Bamako square, Together we mourn the loss of the heroes who died defending our freedom."

The room was filled with cigar smoke as the TV blared. "God dammit they just crossed the line there." A voice yelled the bartender looked at the woman. "That's right I knew you'd get mad at that." The woman dropped a few bucks on the counter and walked out so the sun could hit her face. The woman walked outside to see three PMC troops aiming at her. "Kept you waiting huh?" They looked at each other then at her one advanced towards her slowly with one hand out ready to pat her down for weapons. She put her hands on her head and as the first guy got to her she leans to the right and looks at the gun then him. "Safety's on you idiot." She says causing the soldier to look she punches him so he turns slightly and she grabs him as a hostage taking his pistol. "Never take your eyes off the enemy rookie." She whispered aiming at the other two PMC troops who seemed to act like her having a hostage changed nothing and it didn't. "Fire!" One of the troops said and they did killing their buddy as the woman fired two rounds back hitting both men in the face she dived as the gekko tried to jump on her. There was a loud squishing noise as the gekko landed on the dead soldier then a sheath noise. The woman stood holding a High frequency sword which could easily kill the gekko at close range. she ran foward and sliced it's leg bringing it down she then turned and sliced the Gekko in half. A Humvee pulled up. "Natalie we need you at the airstrip to help us crash that thing." Natalie looked at the sky. "Well I dunno I'm awfully busy as you can see." Natalie said giving a joking grin as she shrugged. "Stop jerking around and get in already." The guy said so Natalie got in and off they went.

Location - Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan
Time - 2200

The vaulting sky above the Earth, was relatively dark. The blackness of the nighttime sky was adjoined by coruscating bloom of the city below. Kage was perched cross-legged on the concrete terrace. The roof was a garden, utilized to cultivate vegetation. It had seemed Kage was meditating in deep thought. This was practically training for him in a way. However, his esoteric contemplation was abruptly obstructed, by the sounding off of his PDA, which was laying in his lap.

"Dammit. Of course now." He picked up the PDA device, and looked at the incoming message.

"Ready for pick up? And watch out, PMC soldiers in the lobby, waiting for you."

Kage put away the device and ran down the stairwell, to his apartment to pack his items in a suitcase and suit up, ready to go. When the elevator door opened, there were two men clothed in military attire waiting on him. Kage, without a word, stepped out of the elevator passing the two men up. They followed him, holding their assault rifles. As he walked towards the lobby exit, he noticed people lying on the ground and sitting against the walls, it seems they were taken hostage.

"Well, gentlemen. Where might you be taking me tonight?" Kage said. Neither of them answered. One of them just nudged him forward with the butt of his rifle as he opened the door. Kage sniggered, and turned around, swiftly, halfway through the door, grabbing one of them by the head, and slamming the door closed on it, several times. The man fell, forestalling the door from closing, while the companion that accompanied him opened fire. Cage ducked down behind, the glass door. He could hear the hostage screams over the gun fire and shattering glass. He opened the door with all his might; it hit the troop, who didn't seem to back away from it before he opened fire and staggered him. Kage took the opportunity to charge at him, swinging the hard, heavy suitcase across his face, knocking him to the floor.

"You all have a good night" Kage said to the hostages, kicking the soldier in the side while he was down, and running out of the door, jumping into the black van that was waiting on him the entire time. But he wasn't in the clear yet. While they were driving off, he looked back to see a couple of PMC Humvee's chasing after them

"Look in the chest in the back, should be a little something to take care of our followers" The driver said. Kage did so. He pulled out a bazooka from the chest, grabbing one of the two rounds, and loading it into the heavy artillery. He opened the van back doors, aiming it at one of the Humvee's that began to open fire.

Meryl was in the helicopter that was closing in on Kage they followed above the bus. "Hold it steady I'm going in for extraction of the target!" Meryl yelled over the sound of the engine as she repelled down landing on the van. She grabbed her scoped magnum and shot the driver of the second Humvee making it lose control and roll. Meryl looked at Kage with a grin as she put her hand out. "Need a faster ride?" Meryl asked.



Meanwhile in Africa
The Plane was labeled Fox Fighter and moved at a normal speed. But had two 50 cal guns stashed in the wings as she neared the PMC Thunderbird she opened fire blowing up one of the engines and disabling another. this large Plane was the size of a skyscraper and was filled to the brim with weapons. The little plane had to dodge bullets until it was above the other one. "Sorry old friend but I'll have to leave you." Natalie was flying extremely close to the big plane and jumped onto it as hers went up then back down behind the Thunderbird. Natalie landed on a Vent and fell through the vent landing on the ground of a hallway. a guard looked at her but was immediately knocked out by the stun knife and moved into a empty room. she then started towards the cockpit in her cardboard box stopping every time she heard anyone. She got to the cockpit and saw a Cyborg in front of the door with a Sword at the ready. She tried to creep by using the box as a distraction. "hey!" The Cyborg sliced the box then saw a bunch of melons. "Wait that was supposed to be in the cargo bay?" he said as Natalie aimed around the corner and then. Bam the fight begun when she fired one round and the cyborg blocked it.

Kage dropped the weapon, looking up to see the helicopter fast en rout atop the van. He tapped the shoulder of the driver and gave him a quick salute, grabbing his suit case.

"Thanks for the ride." He said to the chauffeur
"Aye, cap'n." The driver said. He turned around to see Meryl, just in time.

"Need a faster ride?" Meryl said to him.

"Don't mind if I do, thank you much." Kage responded, reaching out his hand to grab hers. It seemed they'd caused quite a bit of trouble already, being able to hear sirens from afar.

Natalie was thrown back as the Plane turned she watched the cyborg run at her. Natalie rolled to the side as the cyborg tried to stab her. Natalie rolled forwards as the cyborg slashed and she landed on her feet. she kicked at the Cyborg and it blocked both but then she did a side flip to hit it hit the head with both of her knees. The cyborg stumbled backwards as Natalie ran at him. "Kiss my boot!" She yelled jumping over a startled swing she drop kicked the cyborg sending it rolling down a hall as the plane shifted again. She ran and did a baseball slide as the plane climbed causing her to gain speed as she slid at him. The cyborg saw her coming and tried to put it's sword out to impale her but she hopped up and landed on the cyborg's face with her foot and whole weight crushing it's head as she jumped into the vent. The plane went vertical as she grabbed a ledge in the ducks the dented vent cap fell into a fan where it was broken into multiple pieces upon impact. "Damn pilot is dead meat now." Natalie climbed back into the hallway and jumped onto what had been a wall and kept moving grabbing her pistol she had dropped near the cockpit door. Natalie opened the door to see the Pilot. "No way you! I'm ending this joy ride right now." Natalie fired at the pilot but the bullets just went through and damaged the controls. Natalie grabbed the flight controls and sat where the hologram was supposed to be then pushed the plane into a dive causing gravity to act strange. Natalie broke the controls and then started floating towards the exit she forced her way through a vent as five PMC troops tumbled down the hall past her. Once outside Natalie opened her parachute as the plane flew to the ground like a rock then blew up on impact.


News Channels.
This just in the Thunderbird is down and one parachute is visible It has a emblem on it. here's it now.

In Japan airspace.

"Listen Kage the only reason I picked you up is because we need you on the team Johnny is grabbing another member of the team as we speak." Meryl said handing Kage a briefing.

In [Classified Location]

Johnny road up to Drake on a Humvee turret. "Drake Flint get in before we get caught in some deep shit." Johnny aimed at a gekko and Fired tripping it up.

A mysterious woman with silver hair remained out of sight and out of range as she followed the Humvee. She whispered seemingly to herself, but was actually using an earpiece to talk to her master.

"Target acquired.... I'll report the details soon Master."

----Back with Nat----

A small group of 5 men where parachuting down near a box disposal area. They weren't like the PMC at all. Everything from their uniforms to their weapons, all of it was different. They seemed....skillful as well compared to the PMCs. As they touched down and discarded their parachutes, an even stranger looking man who seemed more like a civilian than anything else, walked up to the group.



"There you 5 are. sheesh....I called you guys about 45 seconds ago! Quit being so damn slow...."

The man spoke with authority to the men and they seemed to be rather scared of him in turn. they simply replied with a salute and armed themselves by discarding the straps on their guns.

The man who had complained about the timing grabbed a cell phone from his pocket and made a call, "This is Sats... Inaba has reached my location. Waiting for your signa- Huh? Just stay where I'm at and wait? How the hell is that going to help anything Red?..... Ugh... fine I'll stay... Yes yes.... I'll trash the phone... sheesh... You said I'd have a good fight with this... what was it that you called her again? Dingo? Raccoon?... Oh! The Desert Fox eh? Well whatever, You'd better be right boss....The lunacy will prevail, don't you worry." With that he turned off the phone, threw it on the ground and shot it a few times with one of his pistols.

"Alright... Let's see if this fox shows up."
