The King of Fighters '94 Rebirth

Chapter 9: Guns

Ralf and Clark were running to not attract any type of enemies after Ralf made a noise even without using a gun to get rid of the wild animals. The two stopped on the middle of the way, already far away from any type of problem. "Ralf, look at that." Clark pointed upward showing to Ralf two choppers that started to overfly the place. "Are they allies?" Ralf asked running a little more forward and laying on the ground, Clark did the same. "Apparently yes, they came from the village's way." When Clark finished talking a machine gun was triggered from the chopper to the tents and some members from the gang fell dead, the most of them took shelter armed to the war and started to retaliate against the chopper. "They came much faster than I thought, and in two choppers?!" Ralf spoke dragging by the bush and finding a way to the tents. "Ready to invade the enemy base?" That was Clark's question which was by his side just waiting his answer. "Now are you cheerful?" Ralf asked him in reply. "Now we can complete the mission, we have more men. Besides, we can even gain their trust in our abilities If we contribute very well." Clark highlighted that beyond his mission, his reputation also would be on game. Ralf pulled a pack of cigarettes from the pocket and took one more of his cigarettes to smoke, lightning it with a lighter that he pulled from the pants pocket. "Is this time to do this?" Clark was asking knowing that he was about to hear the same answer as always. "During a war, cigarettes are the least to kill you." Ralf was an addicted to tobacco and alcoholic beverages, he just used to avoid when he knew it could disturb or bother someone. Ralf soon got up and took cover behind one of the tents unlocking the rifle, after that, Clark rolled to the other side of the tent to cover the other area, both behind the tent. "I don't think we will need this anymore." Clark said doing the same Ralf did with his radio communicator. Behind the two and a little far away from the enemy base, from the choppers started to down a hope for their men to go into combat, and even so, the enemies didn't notice Ralf and Clark's presence and because of that they left a gap by starting to shoot towards the chopper. "One less." Ralf said excited after killing one of the dealers without being notice. "Where did it come from?!" one of the enemies saw his partner falling down with two shots on the chest and soon had the same ending by Clark's hands, but that ended up warning everybody from the base about Ralf and Clark's presence which were killing by the ground. "Are them the mercenaries?" one of the enemies left the tent turning around towards Clark and seeing him, then after he took cover on the entrance. "Too late." Said Clark knowing that if he would let him live it would be his life on the risk, he threw a knife which passed near the enemy's foot and planted on the ground. "Get out of there Clark!" Ralf threw a smoking grenade after seeing Clark's try even without knowing if he had success on the middle of the battlefield, the two then agreed and Ralf took alone the enemy's way from Clark which saw Ralf quickly aiming with a rifle near him to shoot, Ralf then left his gun stuck in the body and went to hand-to-hand combat raising his opponent's gun with his left hand making him to shoot to the sky and using the right hand to stab him, after that the smoke started to went away and Ralf took advantage from it to take Clark's knife on the ground and hide himself in the middle of the bush searching for him, but before his arrive, another enemy went out the tent and was ready to shoot Ralf on the back until he got shot. "It worked." Ralf said looking behind and seeing his enemy dead on the ground, Clark touched his shoulder. "Give me back the knife, I told you that giving cover one to another they would think it was just one of us." Ralf smiled handling the knife. "We will have time to talk later." Ralf was speaking to Clark like if Clark would talk so much like himself and proceeded trying to enter in that tent. "Don't rush." Was his partner's advice and even so he proceeded. "Did you hear anything that I said?" Clark asked running to Ralf and the two backs to one another, this way they covered their blind spots from each other. "Inside here there's just guns." Ralf said entering the tent that they were skirting, Clark resolved to enter and search for something that could help them. "Gun traffic..." Ralf opened one of the boxes that were full and found a Rifle Sniper M24 with scope. "This is looking too much easy, if they were rookies, we would find our team alive." Clark claimed taking the Sniper Rifle. "Are you saying that everybody is dead except us?" Ralf asked already knowing the answer. "Okay, maybe we got some luck to infiltrate so easily." He tried to give a good explanation and, in the end, he didn't take no gun to himself, continued to check the stock that was there ready to leave that place, a noise from propellers could be heard. "That chopper is different from the other two." Clark was warning at the tent's exit, without moving and looking up.

The two choppers from Ikari Village already landed, there was just one different that was from the gang that took over the place, their boss was coming down alongside one of the dealers with a RPG on hands, thing that could be a problem in the mission. "Land here, maybe would not be a bad idea, continue to overfly the area." A tall man with long hair and a diagonal scar on the left face was giving the orders, he was wearing an animal fur coat and suddenly he threw a hope. "Give me cover If I need to, I'm going to crush those insects." He said getting down quickly by the hope falling face to face with Clark, which his uniform already denounced him. "Damn!" Clark tried to shoot at the man on his front, but ended up missing the shots when the same turned his gun at a frightening speed, he knew martial arts and managed to overbear Clark quickly on the same form that Ralf managed to overbear the previously armed enemy. Ralf just heard shots, when he looked to the exit it was already too late, Clark was unarmed and with a Taurus pistol aimed to his head.
