Train Pirates

"It's best to be careful around openings, when we are moving this fast there is a slight possibility you will be thrown off the train if you are not careful." The big guy in a black spacesuit-like Armor chuckled as he nudged his smaller teammate towards the edge of the railing.

"Can you stop doing that?" The girl fumed as she stabilized herself.

Both were wearing special suits designed by the Leading Weapon's and Armor Tech Company, LWATC (Yes, they knew they will be successful so they chose that name). The suits were somewhat bullet proof, had good shock absorption and cut resistance along with toughness to not easily break, with a self recovering nano metal.

The two were not friends, they didn't know each other, they were not aware of each other's intentions, but the big guy was quite intent on having as much fun teasing her as he could. Afterall, she was no match to him, he was 7'3" in height with a great build backed by the extra strength from his suit, while she was a 5'1" dainty girl.

He went on to nudge her again, a bit harder this time. As he stepped forward he realised too late there was nothing where he aimed, his body lost balance and he stumbled ahead. Just as he did he felt something hit his ankle, propelling him forward, towards, and over the railing. But as he fell he saw, what hit ankle was the very girl he was teasing, and the color of her hair as she removed her helmet ascertaining his doubts. Time seemed slowed to him due to the suits abilities, but it didn't really slow, he attempted to scream but his breath caught in his throat and he fell down to his death without so much as a yelp.

"Phew, with the nuisance having been taken care of, time to get this raid underway." Reese smiled as she put threw off the helmet, her blue-pink wavy hair unfurling itself.

"You sure you don't want to keep that? Looks like a pretty sick suit." Blac complimented from inside the dark hallway, his dark hair and dark eyes blending in with the environment of the dark hallway. He still wore the entire suit and planned to from the looks of it.

"Nope, not my style, you can wear it if you like but I will suffocate if I wear this thing for more than an hour." Reese replied with a raise of her hands.

She quickly removed the suit and threw it off, due to it being nano metal it simply needed a button to be pressed to remove, and it had easily fit over her normal clothes. Slinging her transformable gun over shoulder and checking her pistols in her pockets she signalled to blac who had gone ahead for scouting. Her usual outfit was a brightly colored hoodie open in the front with similarly bright colored shirt and jeans. A pair of headphones over ears and a locket around her neck.

"Where is the guard you stole your suit from?" Blac inquired.

"Heaven, or no actually I think hell." Reese grinned.

"Oh dear, be prepared for another scolding once we get to base." Blac sighed.

"Oh yea about that, I totally didn't forget to tell you this." Reese began but stopped.

"What?" Blac questioned.

"Nevermind I forgot again."

"You little." Blac rolled his eyes as Reese smiled cheekily.

"So what's the plan?" Reese asked, fired up and ready to let loose. Blac thoughtfully put his hand on his chin. "We storm in, shoot out everyone and take everything we need?" Reese asked.

"No, we must not be caught." Blac reminded. "

We are not caught if there are no witnesses." Reese smiled waving her pistol in his face.

An upgrade to the original Desert Eagle pistol her pistol had incredible firepower with 10 shots each mag. She carried two everywhere, ready to let loose at anytime. It was certain the suits these people wore won't stand a chance against her pistols.

"Reese, we don't need to kill." Blac reminded putting his hand on her shoulder.

Reese slightly turned, enough for Blac to see her face. "You don't need to kill, I do, we are not the same Blac, I don't work for your organisation I simply help you worthless fools." She spat before shoving his hand away. "So, you are helping or not."

"No, I will let it be as you wish then, I will focus on my work, you focus on yours." Blac replied coldly and moved away.

Taking in a deep breath, Reese kicked the door open taking less than a second to analyse the environment in the room. There were a total of thirteen guards there, two were lying down half asleep at the back left corner, five were sitting on a roundtable playing cards at the front right, three were standing and armed, one in the center and one in each corner, while other three were sitting and eating, close to the center.

Reese jumped into the room rolling on the floor and slammed her elbow at the armed guy's crotch as she shot the two other armed ones in the corners, one bullet to the head each. Everyone instantly got up and she paused for a split second, taking a look around to figure out who was the most dangerous.

With another deep breath she jumped back into action. Hopping onto the roundtable she kicked two glasses of cold drink on the face of two guards there as she shot one who sat there, a pistol close to him, along with one who had slept with a rifle on the upper bed. The body fell on the guy of the lower bed who just got up, immobilizing him for a while. The two guards one the round table who were still fine grabbed her legs to toss her away, but she shot them in the head before they could succeed. Rolling back off the table she flipped over the guy she elbowed earlier and shot him to finish him.

There were still 6 left, and one from those who were eating got his hands on an energy pistol. He shot a blast of energy towards Reese but she ducked under it and shot him and the guard beside him, smiling wryly on how fluently it was going. The remaining one of those who were eating tossed his chair towards her, ducking under it she shot a bullet at him and one at the two whose suits were malfunctioning due to the cold drink. While she hit the guard who tossed a chair at her, her bullet went perfectly between the other two, causing her to click her tongue.

However, the last 3 were immobilized so she easily finished them off with a knife then reloaded her pistols as Blac found a map of the entire train. Surprisingly cold drinks worked quite well on even those suits if they found a space through gaps.

"3 vaults, we steal from 2 and then we leave." Blac declared.

"Why just 2?" Reese asked.

"Not worth it to go after the 3rd." Blac shrugged and led the way.
