Chutes and Ladders [Abbadon/Shadow][FINISHED]

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon looked at Shadow's direction as he was waiting outside the door with his hands in his pockets. If it was anyone else talking to him like that, their head would be on a pole. But the fact that his mind was already set on allowing Shadow to connect with him, along with the fact that he was told not just five minutes ago that they used to be best friends before both of their minds were altered made it somewhat acceptable.

"People get shot for less, bro!" he yelled as he entered the room. "And I don't even use a gun!"

When he saw the three necklaces before him, his face entered it's hybrid look of confusion and disgust.

"Why would I be caught wearing any of those?!" he said. "They all look like they were made in San Francisco!"

However, Abbadon accepted the fact that there was the highest possibility that he had no choice. He placed his hand on his chin, seeming to be in deep thought over the three necklaces. When he made his decision, he pointed.

"The red one," he said. "It's the less girly."

He placed his hands back in his pocket.

"So what's with all the floating keys of weirdness?" he asked.

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow cleared his throat, "I have not one single clue but that's beside the point. The point is that you will be working for the top leading organization in the world that we both live in. As the sixth seat you will have full control of the Security Force and, with reason, kick some ass. From now on, you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. You'll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You're a rumor, recognizable only as dèjá vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist, you were never even born. Anonymity is your name, silence your native tongue. You're no longer part of the System. You are above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We're 'them'. We're 'they'. We are the Devil Saints.

Any Questions?"

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon raised an eyebrow, and kept his lips clinched together to avoid laughing right in Shadow's face. After he gathered control of himself, he sighed to release some of the pressure.

"Yeah," he said. "When do I get to meet Will Smith?"

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow looked away, "He can protect himself but any way..." Shadow took the red necklace, opened it and then took the key that held it.

"This is yours. Your room is 5 doors away from mine. Your going to have to come up with a password for your key. That way no one can take it and get in here. Now come on, we need to go to the lock up so we can do this mission."

Shadow walked out of the room and down to the next door. Grabbing the knob and turning it, he went in to the room full of cars--from a green and black Lamborghini that stood in a spot light to a row Chargers that stood in the darkness--Shadow smiled.

There were also, under the dim light, guns and lots of them.

"Hey Mister Akuma," a voice let out and Shadow turn in its direction, 'Going on another mission?"

It was Maggie, the clerk that watched over the stuff in the room.

"Yeah, I guess I am. We got another person on the field with us, a new one. I'm gonna need basic gear this one."

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon sighed as he looked at the one named Maggie.

"If basic gear means guns," he said to her as he put a serious look in his eye, "then no thanks. I don't use guns. What I can use is body armor and blades. Got any of those?"

[Akuma Shadow]

Maggie gave a smile that could only matches Lust just hours earlier, "We have any basic gear for anybody. From the Geeks to the Freaks, gun nuts to preachers." She walked to the back of the room, humming a random tune as she did.

Digging through a pile of small bags, she pulled out a orange with blue strips on the side. "This is," she started "Is our Ninja pack witch consist of 14 Kunai, 36 Shuriken, 25 smoke bombs, and an assortment of other goodies. There is also a com-link that is connected to Shadow's Key and our com-center. Your key won't be online for five hours."

Shadow jumped into the Lamborghini, Maggie throwing the keys to him as he did.

"What's it gonna be Sixth?" Shadow asked as he took out a pair of sunglasses from the dashboard and placed them on.

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon looked at Shadow as he put on his sunglasses from a very cliche' setting. He laughed a bit before accepting the bag from Maggie by giving a nod and a quiet "thank you." He then walked over to the car, still laughing and shaking his head.

"First the 'Men In Black' speech," he began, "and now a Tom Cruise wanna-be. Someone's clearly overcompensating."

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow turned to Abbadon direction and laughed. "And your girl is where?' he asked as he started the car.

"I take it your not getting in. If not I'll meet you there. Some Contacts don't take our way of doing things easily, so make sure not to fly in, they won't trust you and worst we won't get the cash! Make sure you turn on your com-link, something tells me that it's going to be a long day."

Shadow then pulled the gear, stepped on the peddle and drove off, the scream of the wheels burning into the ground as he did.

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon watched as Shadow drove off, smoke from the tires burning his nose hairs in the process. He coughed a bit before looking at Maggie with a half-done smirk on his face. He pointed outside with a hitchhikers thumb.

"Does he always act like his dick is small?" he asked playfully.

[Akuma Shadow]

Maggie turned around and went back to her desk, "On off days or when he is trying to impress people. That's how I got here. So are you driving, I got a bike out in the back that even Shadow doesn't know about."

She smiled.

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon looked a bit confused when he heard that sentence.

"On off days or when he is trying to impress people."

In a way, Abbadon thought that Shadow would try to impress him would be rather odd. But instead of thinking like Tomo for a change and thinking for himself, there was a reasonable explanation for it that Abbadon could easily think of.

Not only were they best friends, but Shadow looked up to Abbadon when they were.

The thought actually made him smile. No one ever looked to Abbadon as a role model before since his apprentice DarkCloud. The fact that someone like Shadow - the leader of the Devil Saints - looked up to someone like Abbadon, was kinda weird and heart-warming at the same time.

But Abbadon immediately shook off that thought and paid attention to what Maggie was telling her. He had access to a bike that Shadow didn't know existed here.

I mean, how could he pass that up?

He smiled at Maggie. "I love bikes."

[Akuma Shadow]

Maggie went further into the back of the room and flicked the switched that was near the wall she was going to.



"The CX4290,' she started while clasping her hands together, "Is a bike that I have been working on, I'm a bit of a gear head..." she laughed but then cleared her throat.

"Has all the regular features and then some such as 2 nitro boost, 4 hidden compartments for weapons, automated gun with a push of a button up front and on the sides and a stealth feature that would make Sam Fisher cum from enjoyment...I just need you to test it out for me."

Clearing her throat again she spoke in an authentic British accent "Do we have a challege? If you say yes, it will be yours..."

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon looked at the vehicle with an eyebrow raised and a smirk on his face. The bike was absolutely beautiful. And the fact that he was asked to be it's rider made him feel somewhat special.

"As long as I don't have to get my hair styled like David Hasselhoff," he said, making a bad Knight Rider joke. He placed his right hand on his stomach and bowed a bit to amuse the lady before him. "I would be honored to drive your SuperBike."

[Akuma Shadow]

Maggie smiled and laughed as the man before him bowed in respect. She tossed the keys at the man and said

"With all the niceness, you better be able to fight as well. You might want to catch up with Shadow, knowing him he's there by now waiting on you. Make sure you turn on your com when you there so you can tell me how she runs, will ya."

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon caught the keys in his left hand and twirled them around with his index finger. He chuckled as he placed his free hand in his pocket and headed for the bike.

"I thank thee fair maiden, for my steed of wickedness," he joked. When he took out his com, he pressed a button to show a tracking device to pinpoint Shadow's location.

"Huh," he huffed. "He is waiting on me." He chuckled as he placed the com back in his pocket. "Typical."

He mounted the bike, turned on the ignition and revved the motor again. He looked at Maggie with another one of his smirks.

"And now I go forth to smite some ass!" he yelled in a battle cry.

Right before taking off on his bike like the stereotypical action hero, he howled anxiously. And he went off to his first mission as a member of the Devil Saints.
