CHAPTER 42: SEEING GHOSTS
“I’m supposed to trust the word of a white mask?!” Mag snaps at Ulla.
“Hey, we’re not exactly thrilled about this either, but we didn’t exactly agree to sign up with some child snatching cult!” Louette shouts back.
“Could have fooled me, the way you went around licking Sarah’s boots!” Soph retorts.
“Okay, everyone calm down!” Ulla stands in-between the sisters and the white masks to prevent any conflict.
“NO! These bitches almost killed our sister! I’m not going anywhere with them!” Mag shouts whilst clutching BB’s hand.
“Just say the word and I’ll pop them right in the face, like a zit on photo day.” Stasis says as she loads a black ball into her slingshot.
“Look I get it, you all hate each other and that’s great, it really is, but please, everyone just stop for a moment!” Ulla tries to protest.
Tina walks in front of her sisters and looks at them.
“I will NEVER forgive them for what they did to us. Now I know that we all know that they are just misguided and are starting to see the error of their ways, but this still doesn’t excuse them for what happened. They tried to kill us......They injured BB.....They were going to kill Stasis.......Believe me, every nerve in my body is screaming.....Punch them, punch them.......You are ALL my sisters and my family, so I will NEVER let anything happen to any of you.......But Blink is our friend.......The phantoms have Shannon.......The fact that the white masks actually want to help get her back is a sign that there is some good in them. I mean that’s certainly more than what the Phantoms have isn’t it? I promise you all.......I’ll protect each and every one of you and if any of these white masks step out of line, I’ll be the first to break their legs. Then after this, we never have to see them again.......Let’s just get Shannon back and put an end to these so called Phantoms.” Tina says with a soft and gentle voice.
“I’m in.” BB suddenly says.
“Do you really mean it?” Tina asks.
“I do. Now don’t get me wrong. I do NOT trust these white masks, especially Ellie.....But you’re right. Shannon is just a child a child and she’s probably scared out of her mind right now and we did make a vow to help those in need. Plus if we don’t deal the Phantoms, then we’re just going to spend the rest of our lives looking over our shoulders, and I don’t want that......I just want us all to happy and to be together.” BB replies.
“That’s all I want for us too.” Tina says now with a smile.
“Besides, I really hope you keep your word Ulla.” BB adds now looking at Ulla herself.
“A promise is a promise. So long as we’re in there, I’ll keep the white masks under close observation and if they try to do anything stupid like sell us out. I’ll peel the skin off of their still warm corpses.” Ulla pulls out one of her blades and licks the edges as if she’s just looking for an excuse to use it.
“Hey, remember our conditions as well! If you want to stand by our side in there, then remember that we have a strict NO killing rule that my sisters and I follow religiously.” Tina quickly states.
“As you wish.” Ulla spins her knife around a few times, before sliding back into her holster.
“I noticed you all went pretty quiet as well, when I said about a no killing rule.” Tina says to the white masks.
“We don’t exactly need to follow your rules....”
“Typical barbarians.” Mag interrupts.
“BUT......As I was going to say before you interrupted me. We will stick to our little treaty and we will not kill anyone, you have our word.” Louette states.
“Well, I’m glad to hear it.” Tina turns to Ulla. “Okay, our contact should be here soon and she’s going to help us get inside.” But just as Tina says this, Kheshig and Elisha appear at the outpost.
“Enemy contact, crows, light them up!” Ulla shouts grabbing her gun.
“No, wait! That’s our contact!” Tina says grabbing Ulla’s gun before she can.
“Are you sure?” Ulla replies.
“Yes, yes, I’m sure, now please have your squad stand down.” Tina calmly replies, to let Ulla know that there’s nothing to fear.
Ulla watches as Elisha and Kheshig now stand in front of them, seemingly calm and not in the mood to start a fight. “Izanagi, Crows, Stand down.” Ulla raises her hand, to which her unit lower their weapons.
“Well this is a surprise, I genuinely thought I was going to roll up and see you all trying to rip each other’s heads of.” Kheshig says as she removes her helmet. She then walks up to Ulla, but still somewhat keeps her distance. “So your her huh? You’re the siren of heartfelt cove. The one who’s been killing Phantoms left right and centre. The one who was saved by Angel herself.” Kheshig turns to Angel and smiles.
“So you know that do you?” Ulla replies.
“Of course. It’s my job to know about everything and everyone, which means I also know that you want to protect Angel and save her, just like she saved you. But here’s the good news.......I actually want to help them too as I know that they are not the women who people claim them to be.” Kheshig adds
Ellie just scoffs and mutters something under her breath.
“Got something to say to me?!” Kheshig shouts over at Ellie.
“Nothing.” Ellie says, but continues to mutter under her breath.
“Good. Right then, I think we need to have a quick chin wag don’t we.” Kheshig states as she sits down.
The respective leaders of all the groups get together, then Kheshig explains the plan to Tina, Ulla and Louette. While this is happening, Elisha hurries over and gives Blink an energy bar and an energy drink.
“Here, please eat this, you need your energy.” Elisha whispers. But of course, no food ever gets past Stasis without her knowing.
“There better be one for me in there!” Stasis says rushing over.
Elisha doesn’t reply, but instead she just puts her hand in her pocket and pulls out a chocolate energy bar and passes it to Stasis.
“Oh sweet, thanks.” Stasis says as she rips it open and takes a satisfied bite out of it. “You don’t talk very much do you?” Stasis wonders as she eats her food.
Elisha just sighs and shakes her head before walking away. Elisha knows that she effectively betrayed the sisters when she sold Tina out to the Phantoms, this guilt has burrowed in her ever since if she’s being honest, plus she’s also fearful of her own safety should she take off her helmet and reveal herself. So maybe when things die down and return to normal, she might have the courage to reveal everything, but as it where it stands right now. Elisha knows that it’s best for everyone’s safety, including hers, if she just keeps her helmet on and keeps her identity hidden.
“So that’s the plan, are we all happy with this?” Kheshig asks.
“I am, but I’m not having my sisters hide underneath the white masks legs, I don’t trust them not to kick us or stomp on us.” Tina says looking right at Louette.
“That’s fine. Izanagi, the crows and I can hide under their legs, you and your sisters can take the truck we used to get here, how does that sound?” Ulla suggests.
“That’s perfect, thank you.” Tina says as she stands up and goes back over to her sisters to explain the plan.
Louette just shakes her head and get up to join the rest of her friends and to tell them the plan too. Kheshig and Ulla just look at each other. Kheshig just shrugs and walks away.
“Uurrgghh......It’s going to be one of those days, isn’t it.” Ulla whispers to herself before she too walks back over to her group to explain the plan.
The plan itself is fairly straight forward and simple. Elisha will drive the first truck to gain entry into the Phantoms main HQ itself. In the back, Ulla, the crows and Izanagi will lie down on the floor, while the white masks sit down and hide them underneath their legs and feet. Kheshig will drive the second truck (the one that Ulla and her unit arrived in), while the sisters and Blink hide in the back using the tinted windows for cover. Once inside, much to the white masks annoyance, Tina and her sisters will go around “acquiring” uniforms for them all to wear; they are then going to use the trucks to hide all the uniform “donors”. Once they have their disguises, their first stop is to immediately reunite Shannon with Blink, and then they must confront the Prophet herself, so Kheshig can challenge her to a traditional duel for the role of the Phantoms leader. With both Kheshig and Elisha keeping watch, none of the other Phantoms should suspect a couple of their own to be traitors, let alone one of the most feared, toughest and supposed loyal members such as Kheshig, whose on par in terms of rank alongside Jetset and Falcon.
All of the women got into their respective positions before the vehicles left moment. Kheshig initially thought that the guard by the entrance would question them about the new vehicle following them inside, but much to her surprise, the guard just simple waved them through. This is because the Phantom guarding the entrance was of course Knipperen was still in her disguise and keeping up appearances.
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Once inside Elisha and Kheshig pulls the trucks around as far out of sight as they can before they park them side by side, right up against a wall. Once they switch off the engines, the white masks are the first to hop out with Ulla and her unit following a few seconds later. Then the nine sisters and Blink hop out of their own truck before ducking behind cover. The temple itself is absolutely majestic, it blends modern with traditional wonderfully, BB herself can’t help but nod in approval at the tremendous architect she is witnessing.
“Shame really that the Phantoms only exist to do harm, because their main head quarters appears to be treasure trove of historical knowledge and if I could, I’d love to study it.” BB whispers.
“Maybe when this is all over, I’ll give you some VIP privileges.” Kheshig says.
“Hey, this doesn’t make us friends you know.” Tina suddenly interrupts. “Don’t think for a second, that I’ve forgotten about all the times you and the rest of your little cult tried to kill us, so if you think I’d ever leave any of my sisters alone with you, then wow, you’ve certainly got another thing coming.” As Tina says this, Mag stands by her side to show support as she agrees with what Tina is saying.
“Of course, please forgive me, I was just trying to break bread with you.” Kheshig says honestly.
Tina sighs deeply, closes her eyes and gently shakes her head. “Look....Please understand one thing. Over these past few months we’ve had all sorts of groups, criminals and other villainesses target us for no reason. My sisters and I are very tired and we’ve just become somewhat distrusting of people at the moment, so we know that your only trying to make amends with us, but with everything that’s happened, surely you can understand why we’re so reluctant to be trustworthy of you right now.” Tina speaks honestly too.
“I know and believe me, nobody would blame you, but please allow me the time to show you that when all this is said and done, I just want peace between us.” Kheshig says placing her hand over her heart.
“That’s a good start.” Angel replies.
Just then the sound of footsteps is heard causing the sisters, Blink, Ulla and her team to duck for cover, whilst the white masks, Elisha and Kheshig use their bodies to further shields the intruders. As this happens, both Falcon and Jetset appear.
“The white masks? What the hell are you doing here, you were not given permission to leave outpost zeta!” Jetset snaps.
“It was the siren. She attacked the outpost, she killed everyone else.” Cassie frantically tried to explain.
“Then how become your still alive?” Falcon says before she turns to Louette. “And you! I thought you were the brawler of the group, yet I barely see a scratch on you, why didn’t you fight till the last woman?” Falcon quizzes.
“Well.......We.......Erm......”
“I ordered a retreat!” Kheshig suddenly interrupts, before Louette accidentally says something which could jeopardise the mission.
“You did? But why?” Jetset asks.
“Because we need as many soldiers here as we can get, especially if the siren discovers where we are and tries a full on assault. Anyway, what about you Jetset? I heard the reports of you retreating from the beach front when the siren and her soldiers attacked, so before you say anything that makes you look stupid, just remember that I was here when I ordered the retreat and believe me. If I was the one who had come face to face with the siren.......I would have broken her seven ways to Sunday.” Kheshig says as she stares down Jetset.
Jetset’s eye starts twitching and she clenches her fists.............
“Very well.” With that, Jetset and Falcon turn around and walk away.
“Thank you.” Cassie says to Kheshig when the coast is clear.
“It’s fine. We just need to avoid those two for now.” Kheshig then waits a few more seconds. “Okay, the coast is clear.” She follows up with.
“Now we’re inside, please take me to Shannon, I beg you.” Blink pleads.
“We will, we will. But first we desperately need to get you some disguises.” Kheshig replies.
“HA! I love the way your perfectly fine with the sisters attacking your fellow Phantoms for their uniforms.” Ellie smiles and rolls her eyes. “You’re just as bad as them.” Ellie then pretends to check her nails for dirt, even though she’s wearing gloves.
Kheshig walks to Ellie, grabs her by her shirt, lifts her up and slams her into the side of the truck, pinning her in place in the process.
“Now you listen me, you little ice cream dunker. We agreed that all the Phantoms be brought here, where they’ll all be left in the trucks. Yes they’ll be bound and gagged, but they’ll all be safe and when this is over, I’ll be the first one to make sure that they all get released. So don’t you give me any of that white masks bullshit......Or has Sarah’s little manipulation techniques still drilled into that thick little brain of yours.” Kheshig lets go and Ellie with a thud straight on her bum.
Ulla just looks at Ellie and shakes her head. “You really don’t know when to keep that fat mouth of yours shut do you.” She adds.
“Hey leave her alone!” Magda shouts as the white masks quickly form a protective circle around Ellie to protect their friend.
“ENOUGH!” Angel snaps as she stand in-between everyone. “Please everyone, we have a truce don’t we?” Angel adds in a calm voice, trying to defuse the situation.
Willow steps forward and nods and at the same time Ulla nods as well.
“Thank you.” Angel sighs in relief.
“Right then, my sisters and I will go and get the uniforms, Kheshig, is there anything you can tell us about the Phantoms, because we know that you have males working for you as well as females, is there any way to tell them apart?” Tina wonders.
“Well no, all of the armour has been specifically modified so you can’t tell if your fighting a male of a female, that’s how we prevent infiltrators from contemplating on impersonating us.....BUT........You’re in luck, as here in the main HQ, the Phantoms are allowed to remove their helmets so will allow to see which one are female. The other ones who are not allowed to remove their helmets inside the main HQ are the Prophet and her inner circle. Now thankfully her inner circle only consists of myself, Jetset and Falcon. So as long as you avoid them, you shouldn’t have any problems.” Kheshig explains
“That’s great, thanks for that. Come on sisters. Let’s go.” Tina says.
“Wait, before you.” Ulla gently grabs Tina’s hand. “Please take Izanagi with you. She’s a top tier sniper and she can assist you to escape if things get heated.” Ulla begs.
“I’m sorry, but you know our rule and that’s no killing, no matter what the circumstance is.” Tina replies.
“Look, I also have sleeping darts just in case I have to incapacitate a high value target for extraction, rather than killing them.” Izanagi says as she shows the sisters a couple of ammo clips filled with sleeping darts.
“In all fairness Tina, we could do with someone always watching our back.” Mag states.
Tina nods in acceptance. “Fine. But NO bullets, just sleeping darts, am I understood?” Tina says making sure that Izanagi follows the no killing rule.
“I hear you loud and clear.” Izanagi takes her ammo clip out and instead loads a clip filled with sleeping darts into her sniper rifle.
As she does this, she then rushes over and follows the sisters into the temple.
“Hi I’m Izanagi, it’s very nice to meet you.” Izanagi says as she catches up to them.
“Hi I’m Tinker, here I want to give you this.” Tinker hands Izanagi an earpiece. “With you watching our backs, you’ll be able to communicate with us and let us know if anything seems off.” Tinker continues.
“Thanks. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.” Izanagi puts her earpiece in then starts climbing up one of the walls so she can find a descent place to set up her sniper nest, so she can provide support for Tina and her sisters.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
“I don’t like this, we’re pretty much surrounded by enemies both old and new.” Mag says as they wait for Izanagi to get into position.
“I know and believe me, I don’t exactly feel comfortable about this either, which is why I wanted to get us as far away from all of them as possible.” Tina says.
“Mmmmm, she has such a cute little butt. I wonder what sort of panties a soldier like her wears under all that uniform?” Libido says as she watches Izanagi hunch over and to climb to the top.
The remaining sisters just shake their heads at Libido’s comment, but they honestly weren’t expecting anything less. Izanagi gives them a thumbs up from her nest and the nine sisters move in. In front of them, two female Phantoms, both with their helmets off are casually standing close by several stationed vehicles.
The first female is 27 years of age. She has white skin, green eyes and long shoulder length ginger hair tied back with a black ponytail. The Phantoms do not use name tags or any sorts so the sisters would not know any of their names, but the first female’s name is “Joyce”. The second female has black skin, long shoulder length frizzled hair also tied back with a black ponytail, her eye colour is brown and her name is “Luella”. Both women are wearing the standard Phantom uniforms which of course consists of, white lace up ankle high boots, thick white socks underneath, white fatigue combat trousers, white knee pads, black equipment holsters strapped around their thighs, equipment belts with their helmets dangling off of them, white fatigue military combat jackets with dark grey shirts underneath, black equipments vests over the top of it all, so they can store all their additional ammunition clips, grenades and other useful items they may need, they have white elbow pads, white fingerless gloves and our both carrying assault rifles.
“Did you hear about outpost zeta getting attacked earlier?” Joyce asks.
“Yeah I did. God damn siren, the Prophet never should have chose to go to war with them, we should have just stuck to tracking down Alpha prey and her sisters.” Luella replies.
“Don’t let Jetset hear you say that! I mean yeah Falcon and Kheshig are just as loyal, but Jetset sometimes comes off as a complete psycho, I once saw her kill an infiltrator with a pencil, simply because she thought her knife was too dull.” Joyce says with fear in her voice.
“What? No way, you’re making that up.” Luella replies, calling Joyce out on a bluff.
“I’m serious, I was there, go ask any who and they’ll vouch for me.” Joyce says trying to get her friend to believe her.
“Yeah, I’ll bet.” Luella replies whilst shaking her head. But little do the two Phantoms know, Tinker has unleashed Ebony and Ivory and both spider bots are homing in on their prey.
Ebony and Ivory simultaneously leap into the air and both land right on the upper backs of both women and scurry up to the back of their necks.
“What the? Hhhuurrrkkk!” Joyce says as Ebony injects her with a fast acting knock out serum.
“Oh hell, sound the alarm we...Uuuunnnn!” Luella is too late as Ivory clamps down on the back of her neck and injects her too.
Both women attempt to walk and get help, but all they end up doing is falling sideways into each other and instead, their two bodies just slump into one another’s before both women slide down each other’s body and lamp in pile right on top of each other on the floor, fast asleep. Two pairs of hands appear from behind one of the vehicles, grab both Joyce and Luella and quickly drag them out of sight. The sisters quickly carry the two Phantoms back to the vehicles with Izanagi keeping a watch for anybody who might see them.
When they return to the truck, Magda just shakes her head, while Ellie just scoffs in disgust. Louette isn’t exactly thrilled about this either, but she understands that in this case, the Phantoms aren’t exactly innocent in all this. The sisters quickly put Joyce and Luella in the back of the main truck before they climb in and start stripping them. Once both women have been stripped of their uniforms, it is revealed that Joyce is wearing a chartreuse green T-shirt bra and a pair of marigold orange tap panties. Luella on the other hand is wearing a black padded bra and a pair of dark grey butt booster panties. With both women stripped, Tinker gets ready.
“Go get them girls.” Tinker says.
With that, both Ebony and Ivory scurry into the truck before they both using their webbing to tie up both Joyce and Luella. They tie them just like a real spider whose caught its prey, they wrap around from the tips of their shoulders, right the way down to the tips of their toes, making sure that every part of their bodies is tied up in-between. Next they quickly wrap webbing around both women’s mouths as a gag, before they both scurry back inside Tinker’s back pack. Tina then passes both of the Phantom’s uniforms to Blink and Ulla so they can get changed. Ulla gets changed into Luella’s uniform, while Blink gets changed into Joyce’s uniform. Both women then put on the helmets so nobody will recognise them.
“Hi, your Willow right?” Tinker says, although Willow just keeps her head lowered. “You know, I really appreciate your skills when it comes to gadgetry and I was wondering. Have you ever thought about using things like a rope launcher or a net cannon, or anything like that or a drone?” tinker asks.
Willow just remains silent.
“HEY! Tinker, get away from her!” Mag hurries over and pulls Tinker away from Willow.
“Mag, it’s okay, I was the one who approached her.” Tinker replies in a calm tone.
“I’m sorry Tinker, but I don’t trust these women.” Mag replies in a calm tone before turning to Willow. “Stay the hell away from my sisters!” She shouts before escorting Tinker away.
Willow still doesn’t say anything, but she does look up and watches as Tinker and Mag rejoin the rest of their sisters. The sisters regroup and set off again to find the next set of uniforms, Tina looks and notices Mag breathing heavily.
“Hey sis, are you okay?” Tina asks.
“Yeah I’m fine, I promise.” Mag nods. But Tina can see that something is bothering her, but she has no choice but to ignore it for now.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
“This is Izanagi, reporting in. I’ve got eyes on a female Phantom, operating a CCTV station, I advise taking her down, otherwise she may wonder why several Phantoms are going missy, over.” Izanagi says over her mic.
“Copy that Izanagi, many thanks for the assistance.” Tina replies. “Okay sisters, let’s move in.”
Inside a CCTV control room, a lone female Phantom sits monitoring the cameras at her work station. She’s wearing the same uniform as all the other Phantoms, yet her helmet is sitting on the table next to her. She has white skin, sapphire blue eyes and long blonde hair styled in what is known as a flat wave look. She’s 23 years of age and her name “Yasmin.”
“Sector six is all clear.” Yasmin flicks through the camera’s
“Sector nine is all clear.” Angel creeps into the room.
“Sector seven looks secure.” Angel pulls out her dart gun.
“Sector three is locked down tight.” Angel aims her dart gun.
“Sector one is......Ooooohhhhh!” This is the last thing Yasmin can say, as a dart fired from Angel’s gun, flies straight through the air and hits her right on the back of her neck.
Yasmin’s eyes roll around and her body starts to sway left and right as the fast acting knock out serum rapidly takes hold over her body, then finally she falls down slumped straight over her work desk with her head resting on her own keyboard and her arms sprawled out across the table. Angel quickly holsters her dart gun away. BB then hurries in and lifts Yasmin off of her work chair and hurls her over her shoulder before carrying her out of the room.
“I can already tell that certain people are going to enjoy the way certain women get knocked out on this adventure.” Stasis says out loud, although nobody hears it at all.
With Izanagi’s guidance, the sisters hurry back with Yasmin. When they arrive, they quickly strip her of her uniform. Underneath it is revealed that Yasmin is wearing a crimson red push up bra and a pair of dusky pink bikini panties. Tina then opens up one of their bags and pulls out several strands of rope and a cloth to which she quickly ties up Yasmin’s ankles, calves, thighs, wrists, elbows and secures her arms to her sides by ties rope around her shoulders and upper body. Tina then wraps the cloth around Yasmin’s mouth and ties it up so the gag is complete. Then both Tina and Libido both lift up Yasmin and leave her in the truck with her two colleagues.
“I can’t wait to see this truck filled with loads of bound and gagged women, all wriggling around in their underwear, all rolling on top of each other.......God that is SO HOT!” Libido starts to fantasise.
“Come on sister. Save it for the shower later.” Tina says with a wink.
“I know, I know. I’m just saying that I can’t wait to see how many women we can squeeze into there.” Libido says rather excitedly.
“Neither can the readers.” Stasis whispers.
The sisters pass the uniform to Crow 1, who starts to get changed.
“Hey uuhh......I eerr......Never got a chance to say thanks you know.” Louette says to Soph and Marie.
“Don’t mention it. I wouldn’t exactly be classified as a good medic now would I, if I just sat back and let you suffer.” Marie replies.
“Yeah, but why? I mean, I had every intention of killing you. Why did you then help me?” Louette asks.
“It’s simple really.” Soph then looks Louette straight in the eyes. “Because we’re not like you.” She adds.
“I guess not.” Louette adds.
But before Soph and Marie can say anything else, Mag grabs both of her sisters by their hands and escorts them back to the group.
“Hey Mag, are you okay?” Marie asks.
“Yes, I’m fine, I just don’t think we should be all chummy with them, because I haven’t forgotten everything they put us through.” Mag states.
“The white masks could prove to be really useful allies to us in the future, so why don’t we at least hear them out, all she wanted to do was thank us for healing her.” Soph comments.
“I’m sorry but no. We must never put our lives into the hands of those savages.” Mag replies as she lets go of Marie and Soph’s hands.
Tina saw what Mag just did and she now knows why Mag is doing it. Tina knows that she needs to try and find a few minutes where she can just be alone with her, just so Mag can vent out anything that’s on her mind, because Tina will only ever be the one of whom Mag talks to and opens up to. With that though, the sisters make their way back out, searching for more uniforms.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Izanagi spots a group of four female Phantoms leaving the cafeteria........
“I got eyes on four enemy combatants heading your way; recommend that you proceed with caution. Will maintain over watch and provide covering fire if necessary.” Izanagi reports in.
“Great, thanks again.” Tina replies.
“But let’s not forget that she’s only a temp as I’M the one who provides over watch for all of you.” Tinker quickly says defending her role.
“Of course sis, no one can ever replace you on that.” Soph says putting her arm around Tinker, to which Tinker just blushes and bows her head in embarrassment.
The four females heading their way are naturally all wearing the exact same uniforms as all the other Phantoms. The first female is 29 years of age, she has lightly tanned skin, long sparkling amber hair styled in a blunt bang look, she has hazel brown eyes and her name is “Marceline”. The second female is 25 years old, she has white skin, medium length blonde hair styled in a pixie cut look, soft blue eyes and is named “Ayleen”. The third female is 32 years of age, she also has white skin, yet she has long pure diamond blonde hair styled in what is known as the rebel hairdo look, she has cobalt blue eyes and is named “Zoie”. The fourth and final female is 26 years of age, she has almond brown skin, long leather black hair styled in French twist look, she has serene green eyes and her name is “Queen”.
“Hey ladies, hold up a second will ya, I want to quickly have a smoke before our next patrol shift.” Marceline says as she reaches into one of her pockets and pulls out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes.
“Fine, but make it quick and don’t let Jetset catch you smoking around here, you know how pedantic she is.” Zoie replies.
“Alright, alright.” Marceline says as she pops her cigarette in her mouth and walks off round the corner.
Marceline flicks on her lighter, but before she ignite her cigarette and enjoy her first puff, Mag is already behind and quickly wraps one hand around Marceline’s mouth and one hand around Marceline’s waist.
“Hhhhheeeellllllmmmmm!” Marceline tries to scream for help but Mag quickly yanks her behind a secluded area. “Ooofff......Eeeekkk......Gggaahh.....Oooww!” Marceline muffled cries are heard as Mag gives her a swift, but efficient beat down, knocking her out with a few well place punches.
“Hey Marceline, what’s taking so long, you said it would be a quick smoke break.” Queen calls out.
After a moment of waiting, Queen rolls her eyes and walks over to where Marceline was standing. But as she walks over, she turns the corner, only to find her colleague slumped back against a wall, completely knocked out with Mag standing over her triumphantly.
“Behind you.” Mag says with a smile.
“INFILTRA – hhhhuuummmppphh!” Queen’s sentence is cut short as BB grabs her with both hands, taking her by complete surprise.
BB had already activated the chloroform setting on her gloves prior to her grabbing Queen. BB lifts Queen up and off her feet while holding onto her tightly. Queen kicks around and tries her best to wriggle free but this is to no avail. The chloroform starts to kick in as Queen starts to feel drowsy, due to her training she does still have enough energy and momentum to keep squirming for a little while longer, but at the end of the day, chloroform is still chloroform and it has the same effect on everyone, regardless on how well you’ve training. So eventually Queen stops moaning and wriggling and she has no choice but succumb to the chloroforms grasps. Moments later, she gently falls asleep in BB’s arms. Back out front Zoie and Ayleen are still oblivious to what’s happened to their colleagues.
“Hey, did you hear about Falcon screwing up the shipment collection?” Zoie asks.
“Yeah, the Prophet was not happy was she?” Ayleen says.
“Can you blame her though, first Jetset fails to stop the sirens advances, and now Falcon fails a job to? I don’t know, it just seems like Kheshig is the only descent one left in the inner circle.” Zoie says unaware of what Kheshig is really up to.
“Speaking of which, where is Kheshig anyway? I haven’t seen her in days.” Ayleen ponders.
As the two woman talk, Tina has managed to get into position and she’s ready to make her move. Tina gets within range, then before either of her targets are any the wiser, Tina grabs both of the blondes by their hair. “Hey what the .....Oooff!” The sound of bonk is hear, as Tina bonks both of the young blondes heads together. Needless to say both ladies out like lights before they even fully know what’s going on. Tina catches Zoie in her left arm and catches Ayleen in her right arm, so neither women hit the floor. Soph and Marie rush out of hiding and help Tina lift up the two knocked out blondes.
The sisters carry their burdens back to their hiding spot, once again following Izanagi’s guidance so they don’t bump into anyone on the way. Once they get back, the sisters lift all four of their knocked out captives into the back of the truck before they climb in and start stripping them, needless to say that four women being stripped at once, the trucks starts to rock back and forth.
“Hey, if that trucks a rocking, then don’t come a knocking.” Stasis can’t help but joke. The white masks just sigh and scoff in distain, although it’s hard to tell what disgusted them more, the fact that more women are being stripped of their uniforms, or Stasis’ terrible joke.
Once all four women have been stripped it is revealed that Zoie is wearing a pair of pineapple yellow hipster panties and a banana yellow halter bra, Marceline is wearing a pair of basil green bikini panties and a charcoal black sports bra, Ayleen is wearing a pair of orchid purple boy shorts and a magenta pink soft padded bra and Queen is wearing a crow black thong and an umber brown strapless bra. With them stripped, the nine sisters then help one another by getting out several loads of zip ties before they zip tie all four of the women’s ankles, legs, wrists and arms together before they pull out a roll of Tinker’s homemade tape and tear of several strips before sticking it over their mouths as gags. With them secure and out of the way, the sisters give three of the uniforms to the rest of the crows. So crow 2 gets changed into Ayleen’s uniform, crow 3 gets changed into Zoie’s uniform and Crow 4 gets changed into Marceline’s uniform.
“Izanagi, fall back and come get your disguise.” Ulla reports.
“Copy that captain.” Moments later Izanagi appears and she gets changed into Queen’s uniform.
“With us is our disguises, we can go and recover Shannon, while you acquire some uniforms for yourselves, but don’t worry Izanagi will be staying with you.” Ulla suggests.
“Sounds like a good idea.” Tina replies.
“The white masks are coming with us.” Ulla adds.
“What, NO, there’s no way you should let them anywhere near Blink’s daughter!” Tina snaps.
“Hey, we’re right here and we’re NOT monsters.”
“Could have fooled me.” Mag interrupts Magda.
“WE’RE NOT! We agreed to come here to help rescue a child and that’s what we’re going to do!” Louette now states.
“Don’t worry, the crows and I will be watch them the whole time, but I really want to show them something.” Ulla tries to make Tina feel better.
“I don’t suppose, you want to tell us what this...Something....Is now, do you?” Tina asks suspiciously.
“I’m afraid I can’t, but just trust me, next time you see the white masks, I believe I may have actually helped you and them for the future.” Ulla leans in and whispers into Tina’s ear.
“Fine, but know this. I’m holding you personally responsible should anything happen to either Blink or Shannon and I mean this too!” Tina makes it clear to Ulla the consequences should anything happen to either Blink or Shannon.
“As you wish........Squad on me, Izanagi, you stay here and provide assistance for the sisters.” Ulla instructs.
“Copy that!” The Crows and Izanagi all say acknowledging their captain before they get ready to leave.
“My colleague will escort you to her.” Kheshig nudges Elisha, to which Elisha steps forward and nods, still hiding her voice and identity from the sisters. “I’ll stay here, just in case anyone comes snooping around the trucks, then we will all regroup afters.” Kheshig adds.
“Okay, whatever, now come on! I hate the idea being here for a second longer than she needs to be!” blink says trying to hurry things along.
“Bring her straight back here Blink.....Please.” Tina nearly begs.
“I will.” Blink nods under her Phantom helmet.
Moments later, Elisha leads Ulla, the Crows, Blink and the white masks away, while Kheshig, Izanagi and the nine sisters stay behind. When they all disappear, Tina sees her opportunity.
“Hey sis, can you give me a hand with this?” Tina says to Mag.
“Yeah sure.” Mag follows Tina behind one of the temple walls. When they are alone, Tina turns to Mag and very gently takes her hands with both of her hands.
“Mag, I’m your sister, which means I can tell when something is wrong, now please. Talk to me, what’s on your mind.” Tina says in a calm and reassuring tone.
Mag frowns and bows her head slightly, but she squeezes Tina’s hands with her own, she then looks around to make sure nobody else can hear them.
“I’m just very uncomfortable right now. I mean look us, we’re completely surrounded by Phantoms, we have Ulla and the crows, who we don’t really know all that well and to top it all off, we have the white masks standing right next to us too and I’m sorry to say this, but I don’t care what those white masks tell us. I just don’t trust them at all......Not after anything they put us through......They injured BB and they tried to kill us.......I hate them.......I hate the Phantoms, I hate the white masks........I just want to protect all of you.” Mag now admits.
Tina leans in and presses her forehead right up against Mag’s forehead to symbolise love and togetherness.
“I know you do, and believe me all I want to do is protect all of you as well. Your all my sisters and we are a family, which means I’d never let anything bad ever happen to any of you.” Tina whispers to Mag.
“I just don’t like us being surrounded by this many people who’ve tried to hurt us.” Mag replies with a whisper too.
“Try not to worry sis. We have each other’s backs. I won’t let anything happen to any of you.” Tina replies with a smile.
“If any of them try to hurt you or any of our sisters, I’ll burn this whole damn temple to the ground.” Mag insists.
“I know you will. But don’t worry, it won’t come to that.” Tina now wraps her arms around Mag and gives her a massive hug.
Mag does the same and wraps her arms around Tina to give her a massive hug too.
“Do you feel better now?” Tina asks politely.
“I do yeah......Thanks sis.” Mag now says with a smile.
“Come on then, let’s go and put an end to this whole fiasco.” Tina says as the two sisters hug.
Mag and Tina go back around and regroup with the rest of their sisters, before they set off again. Izanagi has already run on ahead and has positioned herself back in her snipers nest, and is observing the area.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Izanagi spots two female Phantoms leaving the toilet area and making their way down a corridor.
“I got eyes on two targets, heading your way.” Izanagi reports in.
“Copy that, we’ve got them.” Tina replies.
The two Phantoms make their way down towards their work stations. Both Phantoms are of course still wearing the exact same uniforms as all the others have before them. The first female is a 34 year old Asian woman by the name of “Song”. She has brown eyes and medium length black hair tied up in twin tails. The second female is 23 years old, she has porcelain white skin, vale green eyes, long light brown hair styled in a super straight look and her name is “Vanessa”.
“I guess that’ll teach you to have three cappuccinos with your meal.” Song says, clearly annoyed that her colleague took a long time in the bathroom.
“It’s not my fault. We’ve been running around ragged trying to find where Alpha prey and her sisters have fled to for days, I’m exhausted.” Vanessa says as she stretches her arms out.
“Ha. I’ve been operating for days now and I don’t feel tired at all.” Song boasts.
“Pfft, well we normal people require this thing called sleep. Maybe you’ve heard of it?” Vanessa says as she yawns.
“I get plenty of sleep, thank you very much.” Song protests.
Just then though, the cracking of a whip is heard and both women look at each other in confusion. This proves to be a big mistake for them, as Libido’s whip wraps around both women and forces their bodies to squeeze up nice and tight against each other, and because they were both looking at each other when the whip around them, both women now finding themselves locking lips and sharing an unwanted, yet a passionate kiss amongst themselves. Both Song and Vanessa turn bright red and their eyes widen when they realize that their lips are locked together having a very sweet tender kiss.......But alas, before their confusion subsides, Libido has already flicked the switch and a spray of knock out gas leaves the whip and catches both women right in the face. Moments later, both Song and Vanessa moan through their kiss and both fall down on top of each other, fast asleep and with a thud on the floor.
“Match made!” Libido shouts with excitement when she realizes that her whip caused the two women to share a tender kiss together.
Libido rushes over and unwraps her whip from the two knocked out and still bright red women. BB then joins her and hurls both women over shoulders, before they quickly disappear back into the shadows. The sisters carry the two women back to the trucks before they lay them down and start stripping them.
“I expected the Phantoms to be more a challenge at this point if I’m being honest.” Tina says to Kheshig as her sister’s strip the two women.
“It’s because their hasn’t been a single infiltration here in centuries, so it seems that the Phantoms have become too relaxed and clearly don’t ever suspect an attack, But then again, after hundreds of years without an incident, I can see why they’ve become quite complacent.” Kheshig admits as she leans back against the truck with her arms folded.
“That makes sense.” Tina nods in agreement.
“Yep, looks like you really are living up to the phrase.....Wolves in sheep’s clothes today aren’t you.” Kheshig can’t help but add.
“That’s not really a fair analogy is it, considering that for this entire time, you’ve been the one’s hunting us........So I guess it’s more like a hunted becomes the hunter scenario.” Tina says with a confident tone.
“Hhhhmmm, maybe.” Kheshig shrugs.
The sisters finishing stripping the two Phantoms and the following is revealed. Song is wearing a pair of shadow grey tanga panties and a ruby red lace bra, not only that but it also seems that she is wearing a pair of cherry red netted stocking under her trousers.
“Ooooohhh, had a hot date after your shift today did we?” Libido says with sheer delight upon seeing Song’s underwear choice.
Vanessa on the other hand is wearing a sage green stick on bra and an ink black G-string.
“YES! Finally, a sexy G-string!” Libido is almost salivating at the sight of Vanessa’s G-string.
“Oh god, we have a code G, I repeat, we have a code G!” Stasis shouts.
Suddenly Soph and BB grab hold of Libido and hold her back as clearly code G is a term used when Libido notices a woman is wearing G-string underwear.
“Oh come on, just one little peek, I just need some additional memories for tonight when I’m in the shower!” Libido protests.
While BB and Soph hold Libido back, the rest of the sisters quickly tie up Vanessa and Song. They use rope and quickly tie up their ankles, calves, thighs, wrists and arms before peeling off some more of Tinker’s homemade tape and sticking it over the two women’s mouths as gags. They then place the two women alongside the rest of their half naked colleagues, when they will remain hidden.
“Okay we’ve secured them!” Stasis shouts to BB and Soph.
Soph and BB stand to one side, yet Libido is still smiling. “That’s fine. I finally got to see a woman in a G-string, which means, nobody better think on using the shower when they get back, because that’s going to be all mine tonight!” Libido announces in delight.
“How are you so horny all the time?” Soph asks.
“Eeerr, how are you NOT so horny all the time, I mean come on, these women may be Phantoms, but they are still super sexy in their undies.” Libido replies as she bites her bottom lip.
Soph just rolls her eyes and shakes her head before she goes back over to the rest of her sisters. Now that they are out of the way, Soph gets changed into Song’s uniform, while Angel gets changed into Vanessa’s uniform. Both Angel and Soph put on their helmets to hide their identities then they head off out into the open with the rest of the sisters and Izanagi staying in cover. The hunt continues.
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Jetset and Falcon march into the cathedral where the Prophet is staring at several statues of various previous Phantom leaders. Prophet turns and witnesses both Falcon and Jetset bend the knee to their noble leader.
“Speak.” Prophet declares.
“My noble Prophet, it seems that some of our soldiers are refusing to answer their radios and for some reason Kheshig seems to be acting rather strangely, even for her.” Jetset replies with her head bowed.
“I see, what makes you say this about Kheshig, because after all, she is a member of the inner circle, just like you two.” Prophet replies.
“It’s just......She been disappearing quite a lot as of late and now she’s refusing to leave the vehicle staging area, every time I walk by there, she’s just leaning on one of the trucks.” Falcon adds.
“So what’s wrong with her doing that?” The Prophet wonders.
“Nothing really my noble Prophet. I just find it weird as we all know that Kheshig is usually in the main control room, scanning high and low for more infiltrators. Plus ever since she got back, that’s when some of our soldiers stopped reporting in.......And to make it worse........It seems like it’s only female soldiers that are not responding at the moment.” Jetset states.
“Are you seriously trying to convince me that infiltrators have actually managed to infiltrate our temple?” Prophet almost scoffs.
“I beg you to forgive me for speaking so openly here my noble one, but I really do believe that something is wrong here and I truly believe that if infiltrators have gotten inside, then they are clearly looking for you.” Falcon says with her head lowered too.
“Plus, things have been strange ever since outpost zeta went silent, and I also find it strange that Kheshig would just order a retreat without trying to put a fight, besides, she always stated of how she wanted to fight the siren.....So why didn’t she?” Jetset adds.
“Hhhhmmmm.” Prophet taps her fingers on the cathedrals alter. “Maybe there is some truth to this.”
“What is thy bidding my noble prophet?” Both Jetset and Falcon say at the same time.
“Let us see if your theory is correct, because if infiltrators have indeed gotten inside, then they obviously think that they have the element of surprise.” Prophet turns and signals for her two followers to rise, to which they both do. “You two are some of my most loyal and bravest Phantoms, so we will hold our position here for just a couple of hours and see if anyone comes in through those doors. If not then that’s fine, but if so. Then we will have to teach them a lesson won’t we.” Prophet says with joy in her voice.
“But my noble Prophet, what if it’s Alpha prey and her sisters?” Jetset asks.
“Then that’s perfect isn’t it, as I think she won’t believe her eyes when she gets a good look at me.” The Prophet states.
The Prophet clicks a button on the back of her helmet which unclips the locking mechanism, she then removes her helmet and allows both Jetset and Falcon to view her face for the time in their lives...........The woman underneath the helmet has......White skin, brown eyes and dark hair spilled slightly over her face.
“My...My.....Noble Prophet......You reveal to us your face.” Falcon says somewhat shocked.
“Oh please, if you want, you can call me by my real name now.” Prophet says with a massive smile.
“But what is your real name?” Jetset wonders too.
“My name is........ASHLEY.” The Prophet, reveals what her real name is. “Get ready Tina......You won’t know or remember me at all, but I assure you......I remember YOU!” A fire of hatred burns in Ashley’s eyes.
Ashley then picks up her sword from the alter and examines it closely, at the same time, Jetset and Falcon stand by her side before all three women turn and stare at the cathedral main doors, just waiting for it to open and see who walks through. A big but vicious smile goes across Ashley’s face as she is nearly salivating at the idea of Tina being the one who walks through that door. Indeed, the stage is being set.

Such cruelty! 
I guess that's one of the down sides about messaging, you can't reveal the tone of voice you are using, because I promise you, I did have a jokey tone in my voice when I wrote that, as I hope everyone knows me by now. I'm some one who just likes to have a laugh and provide you all with good stories.
