Chapter 86 - Dead End

Kai is wearing military gear with a ski mask on. Kai doesn't have his staff, but he does have a gun attached to the side of his belt. Kai walks onto the docks. He sees the members of W.A.T.K.H standing there waiting for him.

Fever: You're finally here.

Vision: Why are you even here? Do you not trust us?

Kai: Do I not trust you? Don't forget that I am the reason you're not in jail or dead.

Fever: We won't. As long as you help out Mutants we don't care who you trust.

Guru: What's the mission boss?

Kai: Yeah, what is the mission?

Fever: A new enemy has appeared. We don't know who he is. He has been very annonymous, but we know that he is with the Mutants.

Kai: The good way, or the you way.

Fever scowls.

Fever: The bad way. He has avoided our every attempt to catch him. He seems to be high in power with the Mutants.

Kai: what has he done so far?

Vision: Why does that matter? He is the target.

Kai chuckles.

Kai: It doesn't matter to you. Your not trusted so you take direct orders. I choose my targets.

Kai hears dead Air sneak up behind him. Dead Air puts a knife to Kai's throat.

Kai: Did I push your buttons too much?

Fever: Your no higher than us on the chain. You take orders from President Bordon too.

Kai: Maybe I do.

Raelynn: Are we going to fight before the mission even starts?

Guru: Kick his ass Fever!

Jackal: Yeah, beat him up Fever!

Kai: I'm not fighting you. I already beat you, and that caused enough collateral damage. Plus Dead Air hasn't removed his knife from my throat.

Dead Air backs off of Kai.

Kai: Thanks. Now, what has the target done?

Fever: Not much yet. All we know is he has been gathering the Mutants, and he has his own personal group of mutants that have attacked places for no reason. Mainly political attacks.

Kai: He plans his moves. He's dangerous.

Vision: If you were just going to say he was dangerous then why did you argue with everyone?

Kai: To see where the arguing went.

Kai claps his hands.

Kai: Arlight Fever. Lead the way.

They all run across the rooftops of buildings. They stop at an office building. Fever walks over to the edge of the roof, and crouches down. He stares off at the office building.

Fever: Dead Air, go in. You need to be stealthy.

Dead Air jumps off the building.

Kai: You're just going to send one person in?

Fever: He can take care of any problems that come his way.

Kai: Yeah, so could any member of your team. I'm going in.

Kai jumps off the building and follows Dead Air. They sneak through a window. They see a worker at his desk. Dead Air sneaks up to him, and knocks him out.

Kai: Nice.

They quietly walk to the door. Dead Air goes to open the door. Kai listens. He can hear two men walk by. Kai grabs Dead Air's arm and stops him. Dead Air looks at him, furious.

Kai: Two guards. We can move now.

Dead Air opens up the door. They see the two guards with their backs turned to them. Kai sneaks up and grabs one. Dead Air grabs the other. They both knock out their guard.

Kai: We're a great team.

Kai hears footsteps.

Kai: Behind us.

Two bullets shot off. Kai and Dead Air move out of the way, and dodge the bullets. Kai teleports behind the guard and knocks him out. Kai dusts his hands off.

Kai: Now where?

Kai follows Dead Air to a door. Dead Air puts up three fingers, then two, and finally one. Dead Air kicks the door open, and they both walk in. Two guard thrust electric batons at them. They both got hit with the batons, getting electrocuted. But the pair just stood there and shrugged. Both Dead Air and Kai grab the guard's arms and kick the guards back. The guard hit the ground. Dead Air and Kai look at a desk with nothing but a note on it. Kai picks up the note and reads it.

Kai: "Boom." Not this again.

Explosions go off. Kai puts his hand on Dead Air's shoulder. They teleport outside of the building. They climb up to the roof. Fever and the rest of the group are on.

Fever: What happened back there?

Kai: It was a trap. Things happen.

Fever: Fine, we have another building to check out anyway.

They start running across rooftops. They end up at another office building.

Fever: This time don't be so quiet.

Raelynn: Then I'll go in.

Raelynn stops at the edge of the rooftop.

Raelynn: Coming?

Kai: Why not?

Fever: Not you Kai.

Kai: I can't turn down an invitation. That'd be rude.

Kai and Raelynn teleport to the top of the office building. Raelynn puts her hand out. She dissolves a hole out of the roof. They both jump inside the building. A man is in military gear that covers his whole body. He takes out two electric batons, and runs at Kai and Raelynn. Two guards run up to Raelynn. Raelynn blasts them back with water. Then she dissolves a whole in the wall. They are blasted by water out of the whole in the wall. Then bricks reappear filling the whole in the wall. The man with batons rushes Kai. Kai dodges his attacks. Then one baton is hit against Kai. It does nothing. Kai kicks the armored man in the stomach, and then decks him in the head.

Raelynn: Time to check the room.

Kai walks inside the office. He sees another note on the desk. Kai picks it up and reads it.

Kai: "Do you trust me?"

Kai states a downtown address.

Raelynn: I expected as much. He is just wasting our time, but Fever will probably want to go anyway.

Kai: Definitely wasting time. What did Fever want you to do anyway.

Raelynn puts both her hands up in the air. The building starts to shake. Then the building sinks underground.

Raelynn: He wanted me to get rid of this useless building.

Kai: I guess it's time to go back then.

Raelynn: Before we leave. Thank you.

Kai: For?

Raelynn: You were right. My heart wasn't in taking over the city. I didn't want what the rest of the group wanted. So thank you for stopping us.

Kai: Your welcome.

Kai puts out his hand. Raelynn grabs his hand, and they teleport to the surface. Fever and the rest of the group are on the ground with them.

Fever: Where did the note say to go?

Kai tells him the address.

Fever: We're all going in this time.

They all ran to the warehouse the note told them to go to. When they stop Raelynn dissolves a gap in the wall. There are a group of guards inside. The group starts charging Fevers' team. Vision makes one of the fall asleep instantly. Dead Air punches one in the head, and then kicks out his legs. The guard falls to the ground. Jackal runs at a guard. She slices up a guard with her claws. Guru's dog runs out and becomes a wolf. The wolf bites the neck of one of the guards. Raelynn blasts two guards back with fire. Then one bulky guard walks up. Fever punches him in the stomach. He stumbles backwards. Kai teleports above him. Kai kicks his head forward and Fever uppercuts him. From above, Kai slammed him to the ground. Fever grabs the bulky guard and drags him. He then slams him onto a wall holding him up by his collar. The bulky guard laughs.

Guard: He sent a message for you.

Fever: What's the message?

Guard: "Thanks for getting the mutants together. Now I run them."

Fever throws the guard to the other side of the room.

Fever: Fuck.

The team is back at the docks.

Fever: We lost our lead.

Kai: Eh, you knew it was a dead-end anyway.

Fever: I knew, but it didn't stop me from wanting something out of it. Thanks for the help, even though we didn't need it.

Kai: You're welcome. I wanted to make sure I could trust you to take care of my city. I have to hang up the mantle for a little while. So I'm glad you guys are here to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Fever: We'll watch out.

Kai walks away.
