Behind Eyes of Red

Chapter 23: Track'em Find'em Kill'em

The two shook hands and Katsuki walked away to join his partners. Katsuki went outside and saw his partners with the crates.

Deags: Bro can you help me with this?
VulGar: I could..
Deags: I hate you
VulGar: Come on it's not fun when you don't play along
Deags: It's never fun for me
VulGar: ......
Deags: ......*heavy sigh*
Deags: But you're not going to-
VulGar: But I'm not going to *helps him*
Katsuki: Hey guys, need a hand?
Deags: Yea-
VulGar: Nah, Deags has it
Deags: You fucker
VulGar: Andale! *smacks Deags on the ass*
Deags: *neighs*
Katsuki: Normal people would be very uncomfortable right now, thankfully I know better but I am a little jealous of them

As Katsuki helps his partners bring in the heavy supply crates, he can't help wonder what's inside, so they decide to take a peek at what they were sent, six crates in total, 3 of them were labeled with symbols that represent each individual, the other three were marked with a Phoenix along with their respective names, they each began opening the crates marked for them

VulGar: Oh fuck yeah! These are fucking sweet, I don't know about that armor tho, doesn't match my style, plus I don't really need it since you know, Dragon skin
Deags: Oh just use it, she flew it all the way here, plus it looks awesome
Katsuki: I mean I do agree, it looks pretty awesome
VulGar: Fuck it, why not
Deags: Sweet! New optics! What are these things?... OHHHHHOHOHOHO Queen you naughty girl, I see what you did there, Bet *looking at his new gloves with the middle and index finger cut off*
Katsuki: Nice gloves, those must be the final product
Deags: Best believe I'm going full fucking Thor with these bitches, YEET!
VulGar: Alright GZ let's check out your loadout
Katsuki: Right *opens his crate*
VulGar: Dude....
Deags: I have such an erection right now
Katsuki: Looks like she upgraded the capacity, finally I won't have to reload so much
Deags: Yooo you got some gloves too
VulGar: Bit of an odd shape though
Katsuki: *runs his hand over one of the gauntlets* ....... Just like old times
VulGar: Can't wait to test this stuff out
Deags: Same bro, they don't call her the Queen of tech for nothing
VulGar/Katsuki: Agreed
VulGar: GZ, you uh... wanna take a look?

VulGar motions to the crate labeled "Katsuki" with a Phoenix above it

Katsuki: Couldn't hurt

Katsuki then proceeded to unlock the crate by placing his hand on the scanner, the many moving parts clicked and clacked as it began to unlock before opening completely, the trio peered inside

Katsuki: Jesus....
VulGar: Freaky huh?
Katsuki: This thing is scary realistic
Deags: I wonder how accurate it is *begins to reach forward*
Katsuki: *slaps his hand* Don't you fucking dare, I don't even wanna know!
VulGar: Alright that's enough, time for lights out

After VulGar, Deags and Ground Zero Finished Geeking out over their new shiny gear they decided it was best to start heading to bed. VulGar went into his room, closed the door and put a towel at the base of the door. A faint but distinctive earthy smell came from his room and the others knew that he was having a smoke which wasn't unusual as he always did before a mission. Deags on the other hand went to his room and immediately the sound of a pc and Ps5 booting up was heard followed by the sound of aggressive button mashing and the yelling of "sentence enhancers". Ground Zero was the last one in the living room of their guest house so he went around locking up the windows and doors as well as turning off the lights. While walking back to his room he heard a knock coming from the front door so he quietly grabbed his mask, putting it on, and unclipped his knife and unfolded it as he wasn't expecting any visitors. Slowly he made his way to the front door and in one swift motion he swung it open preparing to attack until he noticed a purple head of hair shaking in fear.
