Chapter 6

"So what can we do about it? We're not the grain police, we're thieves," Ivy says.

"So we steal the superspores. Bellum doesn't get her bioweapon toy, Indonesia doesn't go kaboom!!!" You say, mimicking and explosion with your hands. Carmen nods and Ivy smiles.

"I like itt. But how are we supposed to find teeny, tiny spores in a great big rainforest?" Ivy groans, pressing her fingers together to show the size of the spores.

"Hey, check it out. Truck tracks." Zack says, staring at the mud in front of him. Carmen and Ivy go to where he was standing, you running behind them to catch up. Carmen crouches down and touches the tracks with her gloved hand.

"Now we know they just left."

----------------------------------------------

Zack speeds off, following the tracks of the V.I.L.E truck. 

"One thing still doesn't click. What's in it for V.I.L.E.? Why would they go through all the trouble of engineering some crazy food shortage crisis?"

"Well, a hungry population equals V.I.L.E being their knight in shining armour. V.I.L.E has their own 'V.I.L.E. brand instant imitation rice' which they would sell, at inflated prices, no doubt," you say, looking out the cars window.

"They tried to feed it to us back on the island, but "vile" doesn't even begin to describe how bad it was," Carmen continues. You gag, remembering the taste of the horrid food they tried feeding you as a child. "If Dr. Bellum thinks I'll stand by while she risks people starving so V.I.L.E. can make a quick buck..." Carmen says, trailing off, laughing sarcastically.

"She has quite the surprise incoming," You say, smirking. You look down to see the truck close to the car. You smirk,

"Go time gals." You get up and, cling onto Carmen.

"We'll take the shortcut," she says, smiling and putting an arm around your waist, securing you tightly next to her. She jumps off the car and, uses her hang-glider to slowly approach the truck. You jump off, landing on the top of the truck, Carmen right behind you. Tigress jumps out from in the passenger side of the truck and lands a few feet in front of the two of you.

"Tigress... Haven't seen you since..." Carmen trails off. You snicker and look at tigress, reminiscing the time when you and Carmen snuck onto their first mission.

"Morocco. The pit. You broke my glasses," Tigress growls.

"Well, someone didn't protect their stupid little face," you murmur.

"Huh, someone may want to protect their face before I rearrange it!" Tigress yells. She extends her claws and runs at you both. You jump over her and watch as she swings at Carmen. You run at her, kicking her to the ground, her nails scratching the truck. She scoffs and lunges at you, tackling you to the ground. You use your ring to pull out a staff, holding it against Tigress. You stand up, Tigress still trying to claw you. Carmen swipes her leg at tigress' feet, knocking her over.

The truck drives through a durian forest. You grab one and fling it at Tigress, her claws smoothly slicing it in half. You hear yelling and look over to the side of the truck. Your eyes widen when you see Ivy hanging from the wide open door of the truck. You rush to her, about to extend you staff to her but, before you could, Tigress yanks you by your shoulder, kicking you to the ground. You signal to Carmen to help Ivy while you took care of Tigress. You got off the ground before swinging your staff at Tigress, knocking her over. You jab at her between her arms as she dodges, kicking herself off the ground. You look over to Carmen and, she nods. Tigress looks over to where you were looking at sees Carmen bent over the edge of the truck, peeking into it. She runs to her, kicking her off. You yell, rushing towards Carmen, you watch her shoot her line at the cars' wheel, puncturing it. You look darkly at Tigress before hitting her with your staff, her going tumbling towards the front of the truck. You flip Tigress off and scoff before jumping off the truck, still looking at her and rolling down smoothly onto the dust below.
