The Truck

Kai: We need wires. Anything that could help us get proof that he isn't who he seems he is.

Max: People have been voting. What if most of the people in the city have already picked him?

Kai: I know the president. He'll reset the votes. Especially if Stone is trying to divide the mutants and humans even further.

Max: I'll get the wires, but you guys need to find out where he is.

Owen: He's at city hall.

Max: Are you sure? If I were him, I would be moving around a lot.

Kai: We'll find him. You just get the wires. Remi and I will start looking for Stone. Hopefully he is just at city hall. Owen, you stay here. Elecain won't find you here, and Max is great company.

Owen: No, I'm coming with you.

Kai: You're a human. We're fighting mutants. Do you see where it doesn't match up?

Owen: I still have my gun designed for taking down mutants. If you go off then I'll do my own detective work!

Kai: Fine, come with us. You'll be safer with us than on your own anyway. Get your gun. Remi and I need to change.

Kai and Remi walk up stairs. They change into their suits. Remi walks out into the hallway.

Kai: You haven't been very talkative.

Remi: Nothing to talk about.

Kai: Are you sure that's the reason? I would rather have Owen as a partner out there if you're off your game.

Remi: I'm fine.

Kai: Okay, then let's go.

They walk downstairs and outside. Owen is leaning against his car.

Kai: We don't drive cars when we are in our suits.

Owen walks forward.

Owen: How do you get anywhere?

Kai: Rooftop.

Kai grabs Remi and Owen's arm. He teleports them to a rooftop. Kai and Remi jump from roof to roof. Owen stops at the edge.

Owen: Hell no.

Kai: Owen, do you know how many times we have escaped from things by going onto rooftops? This is the best way to travel. You don't even have authority anymore. If you drive on the road the cops might try to take you down.

Owen sighs and takes a few steps.

Owen: Fine.

Kai: I did this when I was a kid. Don't be a chicken!

Owen runs to the edge and jumps to the other roof.

Kai: Isn't it amazing?

Remi: Your first time kind of sucks. It'll get better.

Kai: He'll get over it.

They keep running across rooftops eventually stopping because Owen got tired. Owen sits down on the rooftop.

Kai: It's a few more jumps. Remi and I will check out city hall. You catch up when you can.

Owen: Will do.

Kai and Remi end up on a building looking at city hall.

Kai: Can't see him through any of the windows. I'm going in. When Owen gets back, tell him to go ask the receptionist if he's in. I would tell you to do it, but I think they might not take kindly to your outfit.

Remi: What if you get caught walking around? Do we move in?

Kai: No, I'll just teleport out.

Remi: Okay.

Kai teleports inside city hall in one of the rooms. He sneaks up to the open door. He peeks his head out. Two people walk by. Kai quickly brings his head back into the room. Kai hears the two talking as they walk off. Kai sneaks through the hallways. Kai hears people coming. He quickly walks into an office, and shuts the door. He turns around to see President Bordon. Kai sits down in one of the chairs.

Kai: I thought you had security.

President Bordon: I have no use for something as useless as human security, but they would be terrified if I had mutant security. Anyway, why are you here?

Kai: Definitely to talk to you.

President Bordon: You snuck through city hall when you know I have a window? Do you take me for a fool Mr.Adara?

Kai: You know why I'm here. I was looking for Stone.

President Bordon: Samuel Stone? That douche bag just left.

Kai: Wait, you hate him too?

President Bordon: I know what that slimy fucker is up to. I just can't stop him. All of my resources are being stretched to their absolute limit.

Kai: I assumed Stone was the person W.A.T.K.H was after?

President Bordon: You would be correct in your assumption Mr.Adara, but then they had more important business to handle.

Kai: Like what?!

President Bordon: The only reason that the mutants haven't started trying to take over is they still believe in W.A.T.K.H. The mutants are listening to them. The mutants are just barely holding back the will to fight.

Kai: Stone will push them! We need to stop him. You said your resources are stretched to their limits. Why didn't you call me?

President Bordon: In this situation you are nothing but useless. If you attack Stone then the mutants will be outraged and fight back. Either way Stone wins.

Kai: So I just do nothing?

President Bordon: Since you aren't going to do nothing you might as well try to break apart Stones campaign. You should probably go now. He left in an armored truck. He knew you were after him.

Kai gets up and goes to leave.

Kai: What are you doing? It seems like you can't keep anything under control.

President Bordon: Control is easily breakable. It is far harder to keep it together than for it to break apart. Almost like a house of cards. When you have millions of mutants, each more powerful than a hundred humans. You have a power balance. Now make it so they hate mutants. You have chaos. A civil war must happen. Whether we want it to or not. It needs to happen to then keep the peace for later years.

Kai: Then why stall it?

President Bordon: I am waiting for special forces to come into play.

Kai: Of course you have something up your sleeve. Where is Stone?

President Bordon sends Kai a text with ever changing coordinates.

Kai: Alright.

Kai leaves through the window and teleports to Remi. Owen is standing next to her.

Owen: He isn't there.

Kai: Nope, but I know where he is.

Kai turns on his com.

Kai: Max!

Max: Not so fucking loud! What do you get for me?

Kai: I'm sending you coordinates. Tell us where to go.

Max: I thought you were a soldier. You don't know how to figure out coordinates?

Kai: Not without a map, idiot.

Max: Oh.

There is silence for a second.

Max: He's on Spring Street.

Kai turns off his com.

Kai: You guys heard him. Lets go.

They run across the rooftops faster than last time. Owen starts to trail behind farther and farther. Kai teleports to him, grabs him, and then teleports him back to where they are running. By the time they make it to spring street Max tells them another street to go to. They make it to that street and see the armored truck turning off it. The run up to the armored truck. Remi throws sparks at the truck. The sparks explode and blast the truck on it's side. Remi, Kai, and Owen all jump off the building and walk up to the car. The back door to the armored truck is kicked open. A man in a dark suit comes out from the truck. He lifts the truck up back on to it's wheels. The truck drives off. The back door quickly shuts. Remi starts running after the truck. The man in the dark suit shoots the ground in front of her with a yellow bullet. Remi stops.

Kai: Hunter.

Hunter: Let's go for round three, break the tie.

Kai: Your win was unfinished. It didn't even count.

Owen shoots at the hunter. The bullet dissolves when it hits his suit.

Kai: You two follow the truck. I'll take care of Hunter.

Owen and Remi run off.

Hunter: Let's see if you're still a fun fight.

Kai: You won't be.

Hunter shoots at Kai. Kai teleports to Hunter. Hunter grabs Kai's arm and throws Kai straight up. Then Hunter shoots him a few times. Kai hits the ground, and Hunter goes to shoot him again. Kai grabs Hunter's arm and moves it to the side. Kai elbows Hunter in the stomach. Kai grabs Hunter's gun, and kicks him back. Kai breaks the gun in half and throws it. Hunter runs at Kai. He kicks and Kai blocks the kick. Kai punches Hunter in the head. Hunter stumbles back. Kai roundhouse kicks at Hunter's head. Hunter ducks under the roundhouse kick. Then as Kai gets back on both feet Hunter kicks Kai in the back. Kai turns around and gets punched in the nose. Kai falls to the ground. Hunter goes to step on Kai. Kai rolls to the side and hops back to his feet. Kai starts running at Hunter. Then he teleports in front of Hunter. Kai punches Hunter in the stomach. Kai then teleports behind Hunter, and elbows him in the back. Hunter hits the ground. He turns to Kai as Kai is looking down on him.

Kai: I think it's time to end this.

Kai grabs Hunter by his collar. Kai teleports into the air. Then he spins Hunter around and throws him. Kai teleports back to the ground and starts running after the truck. At the truck is Owen and Remi. Remi is just about to throw sparks, but the truck stops. A man in red and black walks out of the driver's seat. He is completely silent. He walks up to them and almost brings a weight on their shoulders. They start to hear a loud inhuman screech. It blocks out all other noise. They both drop to their knees. The man knocks them both out and gets back in the truck. Soon the truck is gone and Kai shows up.
