Chspter 81Kage helping Camille

At KINGS QUAY DOCKS, PORT AU PRINCE, HAITI, Camille's car comes to a stop outside a wire fence gate and getting out of the car she storms through the gate and past the Dockside Valet. Nearby Elvis is speaking on his cell phone in German. The dockside valet calls out to his comrades in the Haitian Creole language as Camille strides down the dockside, "Let her through."

Kage by then had already parked the bike away from the spot and and tap the Arashikage symbol on his biceps, as suit begins assemble itself over his body in seconds. This is shown as nanobots flowing out of the Arshikage symbol and forming the suit's structure. It materializes over his body almost instantaneously, emanating from the Arashikage symbol and covering him in a sleek, black armored suit.

He jumped over on of buildings and watched everything from a distance.

The helmet's HUD flickered to life, overlaying Kage's vision with an array of digital readouts and data streams.

A very angry Camille is walking towards Elvis who finishes his German phone call and then tries to block Camille's path. Elvis holding out his hands,"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

Camille forcefully slaps away Elvis' arm and said,"Touch me and I'll break your wrist!"

A surprised Elvis follows the fast walking Camille into the dock side warehouse.

Dominic Greene sat at a table testing fake government ink stamps. Elvis tries to warn Greene in French. "Dominic, we have a visitor."

Greene frowned and replied,"Not now, I'm busy."

Camille walks right up to Greene who hides his surprise.

As he observed through the augmented display, Dominic Greene's sharp features came into focus on the screen, his eyes cold and calculating as he addressed Camille.

Greene continued,"Camille. How nice to see you."Greene's voice crackled through the helmet's speakers, his tone a mix of curiosity and menace.

Kage's HUD adjusted, zooming in on Camille's face, which appeared in a smaller window on the display.

Camille in anger questioned,"Alive, you mean?"

Greene replied,"I knew we shouldn't have slept together." he laughs and continues,"I think I'm starting to like you."

Camille questioned,"So, you did just try and have me killed."

GREENE And that made me very sad thinking I would never see you again. But, here you are.

CAMILLE Damn it Dominic, I was trying to help you. I was trying to uncover a leak. And you, you sent someone to kill me?

GREENE Please don't talk to me like I'm stupid! It's unattractive. (beat) Come, I want to show you something. Greene steps away to exit the warehouse, Camille is concerned and does not move. GREENE (CONT'D) Come.

EXT. KINGS QUAY DOCKS,GREENE leading Camille by the hand and said,"There's nothing that makes me more uncomfortable than friends talking behind my back. It feels like ants under my skin. It's been that way forever. I remember when I was 15. I had a crush on one of my mother's piano students. Somehow I overheard her saying very nasty things about me. I got so angry. I took an iron. They reach the edge of the dock and the pea green waters of the Caribbean sea.Is that him?"

Under the water, below where Greene and Camille are standing, the dead body of a white man. Camille seeing the dead body did not react much and replied,"I, we only spoke on the phone."

Greene sighed and said,"It's such a shame because he's one of my best geologists. He said you asked to buy information."

Camille shook her head and replied,"No. He called me and offered to sell me information. Why would I come back here if I was lying?"

Greene with a fake smile said,"Because you love me. "

Camille starts to embrace Greene and said,"I was doing it for you. To stop him from betraying you."

Greene In the embrace replied,"You know what burns more than all your bullshit? It's that I always got the feeling that you were only sleeping with me to get to General Medrano."

A luxury speedboat races across the marina towards the dock. Camille looks out to it, enthralled and questioned,"Is that him?"

Greene answers,"You know how these deposed dictators are, jealous of their safety. Stick around. I'll introduce you."

Kage easily watched everything analyzing the data and pinpointing specific markers associated with Unknown individual.

Kage's attention shifted as a new figure entered his field of vision. The HUD instantly locked onto the man, a scanning beam sweeping across his face. Within seconds, the display identified him: General Medrano. A smaller window popped up, filled with detailed information.

In the docks a laughing General Medrano walks along with Greene."And you can do all this for me?"

Greene replied,"Well, look at what we did to this country. The Haitians elect a priest who decides to raise the minimum wage from 38 cents to $1 a day. It's not a lot, but it's enough to upset the corporations who were here making T-shirts and running shoes. So they called us, and we facilitated a change."

Medrano said,"The difference is, my country's not some flyspeck in the middle of the Caribbean."

Greene replied,"But we've already begun destabilizing the government. We'll supply the private security. We'll pay off the right officials, and we have 26 countries ready to officially recognize your new Bolivian government. You want your country back. My organization can give it to you within the week."

Medrano grinned and said,"You've been busy. And in return you want what?"

Greene answers, "A desert."Elvis brings Greene a map. Merci. holding up the map and pointing out a part and continues,"This part."

Medrano shook his head and replied,"This land is worthless."

Greene didn't care and said,"So you're getting a great deal."

Medrano studied Greene and replied,"You won't find oil there. Everyone has tried."

Greene shrugged and said,"Maybe, maybe not. But, we own whatever we find."

Medrano nods in agreement. Both of them walk towards Camille's direction, while Greene continued," Do you know Ernesto Montes?"

Medrano nodded and replied,"A very powerful man in his day. He had a beautiful Russian wife. A dancer."

Greene looking towards Camille added,"His daughter works for me. Or did."

An intrigued Medrano sees the loitering Camille and with pust filled eyes said,"She's lovely, but I don't see the resemblance."

Greene replied,"Why don't you consider her as something to sweeten the deal?"

Greene motions to Camille to come over to the two of them and told Medrano, "Just promise me to drop her over the side when you're done." he then turned to Camille and added,"Cammee, General Medrano."

Camille giving fake smile said,"General, Mucho Gusto."

"Mucho Gusto, señorita." Medrano, pleased at meeting his new prey, kisses Camille's enticing outstretched hand. Her smile hides her hatred.

Medrano giving fake sympathy replied,"I knew your family. Sadly, I believe I was the last one to see them alive.

Greene smiled at Camille and said,"Be careful what you wish for, my dear." The head of Medrano's praetorian guard, Lieutenant Orso, a bear of a man, grabs Camille's arm. Camille is not concerned, she knows her target is almost in her grasp. Medrano, Orso and Camille step down into the luxury speedboat. Greene smiled and said,"Have fun."

Kage sees the developing situation on the dockside with Camille getting into Medrano's launch.

Kage runs towards the direction of the boat

and leaps into the ocean stretching out before him, a vast, undulating expanse of blue.

Mid-air, Kage activated Scuba mode. His suit responded instantly, transforming. Plates shifted and merged, a helmet encased his head, retaining the signature blue V-shaped visor that gleamed with a fierce light. A yellow vertical fin emerged from the center of his helmet, and the lower part morphed into a design reminiscent of a scuba diver's breather apparatus. Spiky protrusions jutted out around his neck, adding a menacing edge.

His descent continued, the wind whipping past him. Yellow markings appeared on his chest, accentuating the Arashikage logo, while blue and yellow streaks flared to life along his lower and mid-torso, interspersed with white armored sections. His shoulders were protected by white pads, each adorned with a blue vertical fin. Yellow streaks highlighted his biceps, and his forearms were encased in white armor with large blue fins extending outward. Black gloves with yellow details and webbed fingers completed the transformation, giving him an aquatic edge.

His thighs were now covered in white and yellow armor, with blue fins protruding from his calves. A blue streak traced down to his blue flippers, seamlessly blending into a yellow band around the back of his feet.

As he hit the water, the transition from air to sea was seamless.

He dove effortlessly beneath the waves, his suit adapting to the pressure and temperature instantly. Kage's movements were fluid, graceful, a stark contrast to the chaotic world above.

The suit's integrated jetpack roared to life, propelling him through the water with astonishing speed. He glided through the ocean, it can go 90 miles an hour, the world around him a blur of motion.

Kage swims at high speeds towards Medrano's launch.

Having reached it, Kage jumps into Medrano's launch with his suit changing back to base form, Kage appearance shocked everyone in boat, but they quickly run down to stop him.

Before Medrano's bodyguards could react. Kage in his palm, a single shuriken abruptly fans into many like a deck of cards. Suddenly his arm whips around as the shurikens like storm of jagged steel racing for the bodyguards's flesh.

The shuriken strike muscles, tendons, flesh.

During the commotion Camille pulls a gun from a thigh holster to shoot Medrano.

But Kage knocks the gun out of her hand and pulls Camille with him onto a heavy wooden boat nearby.

Kage with a swift, practiced motion, he retrieves a sticky bomb from his utility belt.

The bomb is sleek, cylindrical, with a magnetic base and a glowing LED countdown system. Kage activates the bomb, the LEDs lighting up in a menacing red.

Kage hurls the sticky bomb with precision to Medrano's boat. It sails through the air in a graceful arc and landing with a metallic clink on the side of Medrano's boat.

The magnetic base clings firmly to the boat's hull. The LED countdown system begins its ominous sequence, the red lights flashing rhythmically.

He then shoves forward the boat's throttle and instantly accelerates away. A livid Medrano shouts angrily for help from his men.The surviving ones are jumping into their RIBs and arming themselves. As Medrano yells,"Rapido! Vamoose!"

In Kage's boat Camille was wary of Kage, who simply deactivated his visor, recognizing him she questioned,"What the hell are you doing?!"

Kage ignored her and looking back answered,"You're welcome."

Camille wa angry and said,"You idiot. Take me back."

Kage seeing RIB coming close replied,"You know, maybe I'll do that later."

An angry Camille hits Kage and they grapple for control of the boat, as Camille said,"You're not one of Greene's."

Kage simply replied,"No."

Medrano's thugs are firing on Kage and Camille from their RIBs.

Kage yelled,"Get down!"

Unfortunately Camille got knocked out.

As Sticky bombs LED countdown reach its final seconds. The final LED blinks rapidly, signaling the imminent detonation.

BOOM!

A powerful explosion erupts from the side of the boat, sending a shockwave through the water. Flames burst forth, illuminating the night and causing chaos among Medrano's men.As there boat's start sinking,Medrano yelled,"Get back here."RIB bodyguards had to stop there chase to get there boss.

Kage motors safely away, Camille still unconscious in the boat.

Further down the Haitian coast, Kage deactivate his suit and finds a jetty and speeds into a berth, cutting the engine.

Kage abandons his boat, carrying the unconscious Camille off it and called out,"Excuse me."

Kage dumps Camille's unconscious body into the arms of an unsuspecting jetty attendant."Thank you. She's seasick."
