The Devil's Moon (Finished)

Chapter 66

I was sitting on the roof of an old building overlooking the dock yard with two blind men hoping that Stick was wrong. That they really were not smuggling in a Black Sky. If they where I would have to stop them. But that meant that I would have to go up against The Hand, and that was something I did not want to do. Now or never, I have spent to much time hiding from them, and now there was no more avoiding them. They where here, I would have to face them.

"How many do you read?" Stick asked Matt after a while of silence.  

"I'm picking up a dozen heartbeats. Slow, steady, not even a flutter." He answered as a car pulled up, and a few men got out of it.

"There well dressed too," I added in trying to lighten the mood.

"There's one more. Stronger, different." Matt told us.

"How?" I asked as I tried to figure out who he was talking about.

"Nobu," Stick answered as he turned to face me slightly and now I was convinced that he knew exactly who I was.

"They're armed, MP7s with suppressors. Somebody wants things quiet." Matt told us not catching on to Sticks attention on me.

"We'll be quiet. Right, Luna?" Stick asked me.

"You don't need to worry about me," I responded not liking being questioned.

"You remember how to use these?" Stick askedMatt as he handed him a set of nunchucks.

"I won't need them," Matt answered not even taking them from him.

"Yeah, you will. Thin out the herd. What about you?" He asked me.

"I have a whip," I answered not willing to tell him exactly what I was capable of.

"Of course you do. I'll take care of the Black Sky." Stick told the two of us.

"How?" Matt asked.

"Just do your job, I'll do mine. Move." Stick told the two of us.

Matt quickly ran off, and I followed after him wanting, no need to watch over him.

We both stopped on top of a shipping container overlooking three men who were standing nearby. We dropped down, and Matt quickly grabbed one of them. I used my whip and wrapped it around another neck pulling him back and slamming him into the third man. They both fell over, and I quickly brought my boot down on the face of the man with my whip around his neck. I then brought my first down on the other man knocking them both out. Another man with a gu was walking around the corner, so Matt and I quickly grabbed the three men and dragged them in-between two containers leaving them hidden in the shadows.

We waited there until the man came into view then Matt jumped out and grabbed onto him pulling him into the shadows with the others. I pulled the gun out of his hands and knees him in the gut then Matt punched him a few times until he passed out.

Our attention now turned to the eight men who were Matt threw one of his nunchucks, and it hit the man in the head. He instantly fell unconscious. No one noticed they were too focused on dropping the container they were taking off the ship. It landed with a loud thud covering the sound of the falling man that I was now dragging out of view to throw on our pile of knocked out men.

The men all walked up and started to open the container. Matt rushed up behind the men standing out of view. He took a few steps forward and put one man in a headlock. I used my whip to grab a different man causing him to fall onto his chest with a loud thud. His face hit the pavement I then pulled him under the car towards me. Once he was next to me, I jumped up and stomped on the back of his head hitting it into the concrete again. I looked up to see Matt had frozen and he seemed to be listening to something.

"What?" I asked him.

"It's a kid." He said, and we moved around so I could see inside to see he was right.

It was a little boy looked about eleven, but I knew looks could be deceiving and if he was a Black Sky his age did not matter. He needed to be stopped, now before he hurts others. He was defenseless. He was chained up and dirty I could quickly kill him and save so many.

The people in the container unchained him and started to walk him out of the container. Matt looked back to where Stick stood on a roof with his bow aimed at the boy.

"Matt no," I told him knowing exactly what he was thinking.

He did not listen he ran out in the view of everyone and kicked the arrow off its course, so it missed The Black Sky.

"Shit," I said before gunfire rang out into the night.

I looked back to Stick who was on the move, then back to the fight when I heard Nobu yelling out at his men.

Matt ran out and grabbed one of the guns out of the thug's hands then hit him in the face with his nunchucks the ducked under his stumbling body to wipe out the feet of the man coming up behind him. SAs he falls Matt punched him in the face before hitting him in the back, leaving him lying there in pain.

Both of us turned when we heard the car speeding away with The Black Sky inside.

"He's gone!" I yelled, and I almost started running after it, but Matt put his arm out to stop me.

I looked back at him, and he looked defeated. He did not say anything he just turned and walked away. I followed after him knowing he was heading back to his place and I hoped Stick would not be there.
