28 "Stealth" mission

Once changed into the silly looking ninja costume Zach returns to the room, Kido is standing by a big table with a blueprint draped over it.

Looking at it more closely it appears to be a layout of Navel school, Kido has drawn a big red line from a few possible entrances, possible camera locations, security and locks.

.How long have you been planning this?.

"When i first heard of the Principals dealings i started noting down everything i saw at school, this is the combined knowledge of my short time there."

.So what's the plan?.

Kido approaches the map and starts pointing while talking,

"We will enter through the north side window, you will disable the cameras with the pad temporarily while we are inside. I don't know how heavily guarded the office is but i suspect that we may have to knock out someone. Lastly, it may take a while to hack the computer and look for physical files so you will have to keep them away from the office. Do this any way you can, running in circles, beating them or just distracting them. Cool?."

.So just follow you around, take out the cameras and beat people up...

Kido sighs are Zachs simplistic approach but relents,

"Yes."

.What do we do until then? We still have a couple hours until nightfall.

"I want to test your strength and train you with a few weapons while we have the time."

.Ok.

"Come."

Kido leads Zach to a large room that looks sort of like a dojo, tatami mat floor with weapons on stands close to the paper-like walls.

Kido stands there in his Ninja costume and flicks his fingers telling Zach to attack him.

He wearily approaches and while minding his strength sends a kick towards Kido stomach, He side steps the kick and sends one of his own towards Zachs knee knocking him over instantly.

"Is this all?"

.Nope! Haaai!.

Zach gets up and starts throwing unorganised punches left and right, Kido deflects them all with finesse and moves in.

He grabs Zachs arm and performs a beautiful shoulder throw launching him a few metres away.

BANG,

Zach lands on his back feeling rather pathetic, all the advantage from the system seems like a joke to Kido...

"You don't have any formal training do you?"

.No just experience.

"No experience with a martial artist though, huh."

.One more time, ill show you!.

"No, let me show you the weapon you will be using during the raid."

Kido walks towards the Katanas hung on the wall, Zachs excitement grows as he anticipates holding one. Kido walks past them and into a storage closet, wading deep into it brooms and other cleaning utensils fall out as he looks for something.

"Got it!"

He hears a celebratory cheer from deep inside the closet, Zachs excitement died a long time ago...

Kido comes out holding a black rod with a button on it,

"Here, to use it press this button and to tune the strength turn this button."

He shows Zach the use and jabs it into him.

Click,

BZZZ

Zach falls the to floor while twitching,

.Whahahatt the fuauauak waasss that for!.

Kido laughs,

"Just testing that it works."

Zach grumbles under his voice and gets up, he gets handed the weapon and starts swinging it around trying to get the hang of it.

"It's an easy weapon, just press the button and poke... On max it should knock a grown man unconscious."

.Got it.

After giving Zach a weapon Kido decides to do a basic crash course on defending, deflecting, dodging, kicks and punching. They do this until it's night and prepare to leave.

"Do you have everything? Bag, Rod, Pad?"

.Yep, you got everything? Pick, pick, Lock and lock....

"Ha,Ha... I do have this but you will find out whats it's used for when we get there."

He holds up a flash drive and puts it back in his pocket.

.What do we do if we accidentally kill someone...

"Keep your hands off the corpse, and DO. NOT, leave any evidence..."

.Gotcha.

They head out of the Decrepit mansion and towards the school, the time is approximately 11PM so the only people still out on a Monday night are teenagers. Although some people find the Ninja costumes funny they try to keep away from busy streets.

When they get to the outskirts of the school they climb a tree and spy through the windows to check on the guards locations,

.Why is the school allowed so many guards anyway?.

"Do you remember the old break ins that happened a while ago?"

.Yeah...

"They staged those and use them as a reason to hire so many."

.That's kinda excessive...

"Yeah, well... So is selling children but they seem to be fine doing that."

Zach shuts his mouth at Kido's irritation.

A few moments later he perks up,

"Now, cut the camera and we will go."

Zach was already prepared and presses the mini game like Pad disabling the camera.

.Wouldn't they notice the camera being turned off in the recording?.

"No, the pad loops the last 10 seconds so that it seems natural..."

.IMMPOSIBUR!.

"Enough joking lets go!"

They sprint while sticking to the shadows and approach the window, they peak inside and don't see anything in the pitch black room. Kido picks out a few tools from his bag and starts fiddling with the window lock.

Clunk,

"It's done, go!"

Zach climbs in first while Kido repacks all the tools, the room the enter appears to be class 3B. The class is pretty far from the office but doesn't have any immediate cameras.

They get in but stop at they hear voices on the other side of the door at the end of the room...
