Part 1: The Weapon Storage.

Chapter 1


It was a cold evening in the city of Vyydos City.
The sun was setting. People on the market streets were closing their stands for tonight while gamblers and prostitutes made their way to the night to earn their livings. Streetlights where slowly being lit. The music of the bars and clubs where sounding harder with lots of screams of happines and laughter by their patrons who were starting to get drunk for the night.  Humans, Hylians, Toads, Goombas, Icarians, Koopas, Shy-Guys, Droids and all other creatures walked around the streets and drived around in vehicles of both motor, electric and floating variation.

Far away from the downtown of Vyydos City, in the eastern outskirts there was a large river. It had a bridge to connect the both banks to eachothers to have the traffic continue onwards to the east.  On the bridge, two figures where standing on the sidewalk on the bridge facing the eastern bank.

They were men, on a task which lead them to the bridge, or rather to the other side of the bridge. These two men, know what they must do, for they have been working together for a long time now.
One of the men has nightvision binoculars and uses it to see to the other side of the river.

He is and average built guy, about 5'5" tall and wore a black leather jacket which reached down to his knees. He had a red shirt and black jeans and black sneaker shoes.
He was wearing dark shades eventhough it was far past sunset. He had red spikey hair and a patch of bead on his chin and wore a golden earing on his left ear and also wore dogtags from his neck.

The other man was half a head taller. He was also wearing shades with blue frames. He had his brown hair styiled in a short mohawk which ran from the top of his head down to his neck with a buzzcut on the rest of his head.
He wore lots of silver earings and a couple of piercings in his both ears.
He had a goatee complete with a moustache and compaired to the previous man, he was far slimmer. He wore a dark grey letter jacket which ran down to his ankles and more a black wool shirt witha gray square patterend scarf around his neck with its end hanging down on his chest. He had urban colored army patterned linen pants and wore black army boots.

They were both silently watching to the other side of the bank.
'Is that it?' the taller one said while braking the silence.
'Yup.' The other one replied while watcing some more through his nightvisioned binoculars.
'This sure brings back memories.' He said.
'You mean the time when we were kids and spying with my telescope on the hot girl next door?.' The taller one asked with a smirk which the shorter one replied with a small chuckle.

What the taller one was refering to earlier, was a large warehouse on the other side of the river. It was a storage of weapons by Vyydian National Guard. It was a military ground but something was diffrent with it tonight. The shorter one was looking through with the binoculars guards and patrols but they werent the usual men and women in Vyydian army uniform. Instead they were bug like creatures with the recemblence to crustoceans and mantises. They had pincers and claws instead of arms.
Among them were men that looked like gangmembers in red shirts.

Johnny Eduardo knew very well that those aliens where non other than Space Pirates. A notorius faction of a yet unidentified speacies. Earlier today Eduardo
had receaved a phone call from a annonymous caller who gave him jobs. He only called himself "Mr. Dot", as if "."
Eduardo usually dosen't work for annonymous job givers but this one payed lot of sums that Eduardo couldn't say no to.
This time Mr Dot had told that the Space Pirates where having a bargains in the local Weapons Storage with the gang known as the Plague.

The Plague was a gang of former students and college boys who caused very much troubles in a neighboring city, River City, which was known to have lots of gang revolts and the Plague was the most largest and influental of all the gangs in River City. What were they doing here? Eduardo wonered but immediatly remembered that they where here for a bargain with the Space Pirates.
Acording to Mr Dot, Kraid, one of the leaders of the Space Pirates, is here as well as Slick of the Plague is here. Better known as Simon, he was the one who founded the Plague.

  'How much was in the deal?' Russell Jyrr asked again.
  '50 000 Vyeru' Eduardo replied while still fixed on the binoculars.
  'Hmmm...' Jyrr pondered.... 'I guess that'll be enough for my next invention.'
He pondered while adding his share to the rest of his money he has saved.
Eduardo put away the binoculars and said in a ritualistic way,  
  'The usual?'
Jyrr, immidatly understanding what he meant, replied,
  'Yea. You do the action, I do the thinking and backup.'
  'Gotcha'

With that, they ran to the otherside of the bridge
