Angell watches the training room (hmm they all fight and talk
differently. i memorize all their moves and i come up with a
counter in case i see these moves used against me. Maby ill spar
with Anubis after hes done to see if my strategy works) Angell
thinks to himself
"So I've been told," Makau replied, "the last person to say that
ended up with a knife lodged in her throat. Lets see how you fair."
With that, she turned silent again, her eyes hardening with
determination. This is a dance, Makau. One you've done with
dozens before. Do not lose your footing, or skimp out on a turn.
Confidence is key. You are small, but you are trained. You are
graceful.
"Hahaha! Tough words for a kid! I've killed thousands for fun and
many more for work... injuring you would be a piece of cake!"
Anubis says as he takes his sword and stabs it into the floor.
"No killing. Or injuring for that matter. Use the sparring stuff,"
Clover called, motioning to a wall of weapons. "Normally I'd say go
for it, but we're low on medical supplies, too."
"Boo! Fine!" Anubis ran over and picked up a sparring weapon...
"It's too light... and the reach is off. I could fix these weapons
up if you want? I know A LOT about weapons since I have a stock of
them in an underground bunker I have... Don't know if anyone has
found it." Anubis shrugs.
Makau didn't budge. Weapons are useless if you can't learn to
defend yourself alone. Besides, weapons are for kills, not
sparring. She reminded herself. If he wanted to fight with
something to aid him, fine. She could fix that.
"If you can learn to fight with a crappy weapon, you're even better
with a real one," Clover replied simply, shaking her head at
Anubis' offer. At least... That's what my training agent told
me. She added silently.
"Eh... I know... I had to kill a man with a spoon when he had a gun
before... It was so funny how he wiggled around... How about that
stock of weapons though?... Its only a mile away..."
"What are you talking about? We've got real weapons. That stock is
surrounded by at least fifty enemies on either side. That's
hopeless," Clover frowned.
Makau had to agree with Rylie. They were almost operating on the
same logic, although Makau's was a bit more extreme. Hmm, she
certainly doesn't seem to bad. And neither does the techie betting
on my success. Even the quiet girl with the notebook. It would have
been intriguing to find one, but to find three? Maybe leaving the
streets... no, don't go there. Focus on the task at hand.
Louis starts working on a different project, he pulls from his
pocket a small case containing a bunch of screwdrivers that he used
for fixing phones and other things. He then pulls another item from
his pocket, a gamebody that looked like it had been deconstructed
and reconstructed hundreds of times beyond recognition. He pops the
cover off with ease, and looks for the last tracking device he had
installed to the motherboard. He finds it, takes it out, and puts
it on a tray with the cap. He then grabs a part from a drawer, a
bomb detonator switch. Carefully, he attaches one end to the power
button, and then the other to the motherboard. He quickly puts the
cover back on to conceal the change, and then places a shell over
the power button before stowing the gameboy away, and continuing to
work on his revolutionary WiFi gun.
"The entrance has to be covered in snow, its almost 50 feet down,
and I made tunnels all around the city from down there and to the
outskirts...It took me a year overall... Do you want me to have
wasted all that time...If we can get there... that's almost 10,000
weapons of various sizes, types, etc. with plenty of ammunition."
Anubis said to reassure her. "I know the exact location..."
(Before he took over the world I was an assassin and a gun
collector... I raised the number from 1000 to 10,000 cause I wanted
to persuade you more)
"Like I said... It took me a year to dig tunnels around the city
with the help of my closest friends... and know they are all dead
so it should be secure."
Louis hears people talking about getting past guards and stuff, and
almost instantly starts working on extremely accurate
invisible camouflage suit designs, just in case.
