KHR: Children of the Sky

Target 3: Mission Start

It was midnight and all five teens were together. Koe, Natsuki, and Rin were wearing all-black outfits while Kiyomi and Eichi were wearing formal clothes. They were at the Vongola base, discussing the plan.

"Okay, the plan is simple," Eichi spoke up as he sat in Kiyomi's desk chair. "Kiyomi has to attend this party as a Vongola representative and I'll go as her date. Then I'll have Rin and Natsuki escort Miura-san to their base and sneak into the main office to get into their computers. We need to get their files and see where they have the children hidden so that we can rescue them."

"And why are you going to the party with Kiyomi?" Koe asked, smirking.

"Hey! Don't question him!" Natsuki growled.

"I can't ask questions?" The Storm glared at the girl, making her flinch. "Also, I know that I'm going to be escorted but I think if we have too many people it would cause us to gain attention."

"He's right." Kiyomi nodded, shocking everyone but Koe. "It's best if Rin and Natsuki distract the guards so that Koe can enter and hack."

"That's what I was thinking." Koe sighed. "Seeing that Kiyomi and I can hack, I'm kind of confused why you have us separated when we could work together."

"I need Kiyomi to help me stall for time if needed," Eichi spoke up. "I agree that having you all separate is a good idea, but Rin and Natsuki can't stall for too long or they might get captured, or even worse, the enemy can call for backup. I know the risk of having a big group but I'm sure you can hide all three of you with your flames, Miura-san."

Koe smirked at the boy. /He's thinking of the safety of his friends. Too bad he only has Storm flames./ He then looked at Kiyomi. "So if the enemy calls for back-up, which are at the party, Kiyomi alone will fight them off?"

"Sounds like a big job for one girl." Kiyomi giggled.

"I will help as well." Eichi pointed out. "I have permission to use all of my flames for today's mission."

/Ah, good boy is a killjoy./ Koe smirked. "Gotcha. Then, what are the details of the mission? I need to know what I'm looking for while I hack."

Eiichi glared at Koe and nodded. "The Umberto Family are kidnapping potential children that have a high Lighting attribute. Most of the missing children are orphans so no one has done anything but recently an orphan with a high lighting attribute that Hibari-san was going to begin in was taken the day before. While looking for those kids, they noticed a pattern that had been going on for five years in that area."

"Lighting?" Natsuki blinked. "Why those flames?"

"Hardness," Rin commented, gaining attention. "Lighting flames are the toughest flame since they can be used defensively. Protecting one's safety by putting up shields or even using it as lighting. It's tough and unpredictable."

"Sounds like you have experience." Koe raised an eyebrow.

"Lambo-san would spar with me when he was in town," Rin told him. "I know a thing or two about these flames so trust me."

"Okay." Koe extended his knuckle and chuckled when Rin used his own knuckle to fist bump Koe. "However, why would they need those children but not have them on the front lines?"

"To train them to be their slaves, duh!" Natsuki slapped the fist bump away and glared at Rin and then Koe. "What else do they want those kids for but a body shield?"

Eichi looked at the ground. "That's true, but I don't think I've seen them push kids on the field. The youngest record we have is a twenty year old who joined at age eighteen."
