“Well that was a complete waste of time.” Prince said from the 52 inch plasma TV he was now inhabiting. “They are both still alive and still capable of being an impediment to us!”

“It was not a waste of time Mr Prince. I was able to gather data that will be very valuable to us in the future. While the young Master immediately avoided the explosive, your nemesis did not show any concern for it and rightly so. It did not affect him at all.”

“I know that! They are both still walking around without a care in the world.” Prince said.

“Consider this Mr Prince, the fact that the young master avoided the blast means that he can be killed or injured by a bomb. That gives us an option for future reference. We also know now that we must look for another option to get rid of them both. Any failure is a learning experience and provides us with data.”

“Well here’s another option. For some reason Kai was not able to save Stanley Tweedle from drowning on Water.”

“We will test water as a solution to our problem.” Mr Gordons replied.

***

“It is quite simple Kai, I will demonstrate. The key is to step lightly and not break the surface of the water.” Chuin was explaining. The old man leapt onto the bow of the boat and stepped down onto the surface of the lake. He ran two quick laps around the boat before leaping back on board.

“Now you try it.”

“I should tell you Master Chuin that I am decarbonized. My body is twice as dense as a living human and lacks buoyancy. I do not float, I sink.” Kai replied. “Walking on water is impossible for me, but with an ample supply of protoblood I can walk along the bed of the lake. I do not breathe so I do not need Oxygen.”

Chuin stroked the fine whiskers of his chin deep in thought. “So you could approach a target that was on an island completely undetected?”

“As long as they are not looking at the spot I emerged from, yes. But it would be a moot point if I was seen. I possess the ability to kill from a distance before any alarm could be raised.”

Remo, Chuin and Kai all looked down at the sudden whirring sound coming from beneath their feet. The boat began to rapidly fill with water. Remo and Chuin dived over the side into the lake. Kai stepped off of the stern and sank like a stone.

Chuin and Remo headed to shore, and some minutes later the top of a bun broke the surface of the water. In a matter of minutes Kai had joined them on the shore. I his hands he held some sort of device.

***

“This is a prototype. An underwater ROV, Remote Operated Vehicle. There are several of these being tested right now in marine environments. They are mostly used for freeing marine life accidentally caught in fishing nets or collecting samples from the seabed.” Smitty had been closely examining the ROV. “This particular one is produced by Fire Industries. Oddly enough one of the members of Fire Industries Board of Directors is the missing Isambard Prince.”

“So Prince is involved.” Remo noted.

“Yes, he is also a major stockholder in Fire Industries along with President Priest and the First Lady. So perhaps you would care to tell us what became of Mr Prince now Kai?” Smitty questioned.

“I believe that similar to me Prince cannot die. His body is dead but he somehow managed to inhabit a viewscreen, television. I dumped that television onto your moon. He must have found a way to get off of it.”

“Gordons.” Said Remo and Smitty together.

“Chuin and I got him to interface with a test shuttle over 20 years ago. It was headed for the moon. He should have been stuck there.”

“Gordons also likes his booms.” Chuin added. “Remo and I have been defeating him for years. Kai is unknown to him. He may possibly be trying to figure out how to kill you.”

“That is impossible, I am already dead. The only thing that I know of that can ‘kill’ me is a Divine Executioner. One was here on Earth, Vlad. She was the inspiration for your vampire myth. Stanley destroyed her a few months ago.

“Stanley as in Stanley Tweedle?”

“Yes, Stanley does possess courage. It just hides most of the time.” Kai said.

“Well at least we now know that the two of them are working together. There is a lot of information for me to sift though in the computer to see if we can find something that we can use.” Smith said.

“If you need to process a large volume of data, 790 could be of some assistance.”

“The head?” Remo asked. “Both Stanley and Xev have warned me that he is psychotically obsessed with you.”

“Yes but he also obeys me. If I ask him to assist Harold Smith he will. He can process the information much faster than Smith can and identify anything that may help us.

I must return to my home now. Stanley and Xev went with 790 to obtain the moon rock samples this morning. We do not yet know if protoblood can be reproduced synthetically. Until then I must conserve my supply. I should go into cryostasis for now.” Kai said.

“We will go with you. I wish to see this transformation into a frozen pup.” Chuin said.

“Freezer pop, Little Father and it’s just a figure of speech.” Remo said.

“Either way I wish to see it. I must record it in the scrolls to be handed down the line of Masters.” Chuin said.

“I’ll be sure to put your writings in a place of honor Chuin, right next to the poetry of Master Ung!”

The three assassins exited the building to Chuin and Remo’s bickering over the merits of Ung poetry. The two men hidden in the bushes watched as they got into a Humvee and headed out of the parking lot. They radioed the information to the rest of their team.

“Are you sure they are they ones? The old man doesn’t look like he has the strength to swat a fly.”

“It’s them alright. Don’t let looks deceive you. They have been positively identified as members of one of the largest sleeper terrorist cells in North America.” The other ATF agent replied.

***

“We’ve got company.” Remo remarked.

“Yes, we were being watched when we left the sanitarium. However I believe these men are simply following orders that they have received.” Kai advised.

“Well, we certainly don’t want them following us to your house.” Remo said making a sharp right turn onto a dirt road.

Several vehicles followed in their wake. Kai had turned to glance out of the rear window. He now faced forward and announced “They are ATF.”

“Now why doesn’t that surprise me?” Remo said. He stopped the car and hopped out while Chuin and Kai followed at a more dignified pace. The three of them stood at the back of the car as the ATF vehicles came to a halt surrounding the Hummer.

“Hands up! No sudden moves!” A voice yelled at them though a bullhorn.

“These guys are just dupes. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing here” He said quietly to Chuin and Kai. “Or perhaps Gordons is running another experiment to find out Kai’s capabilities?”

“Yes Gordons would attempt to learn his enemy. Let us not teach him anything.” Chuin agreed.

I think we can get out of this without killing anyone or allowing Gordons to learn anything. Here’s the plan.” Remo said.

***

“Who is in charge of this Circus?” Remo questioned with authority as he stepped forward. “You had better have a damned good reason for following us. You are interfering with an official joint FBI/Interpol investigation here boys.” Remo held up a badge that identified him as Special Agent Remo Garza of the International Crimes Division of the FBI.

“You’re FBI?” one of the ATF agents questioned. “What about the others. Our intel says you are a part of a terrorist sleeper cell.”

“Mr Chuin is a consultant on loan to us from the Korean Government. Kai is a deep cover agent we just extracted from that cell. He’s been poisoned, we are en route to a safe house to debrief him. We need to get there quickly before we lose him and the information that he has for us. If we can get him there in time we can give him the antedote.”

“The guy is white as a sheet. Obviously our intel was wrong. Do you need an escort?” The ATF man asked.

“No we can manage but we don’t need any tailgaters. If you could make sure that we aren’t followed.” Remo said.

“Done, and sorry for the mix up.” The agent apologized. “You better hurry, I think your boy is sinking fast.”

Remo looked over at Kai who was sinking slowly down to the ground. Chuin had a grip on his arm and was frantically trying to keep him from completely collapsing. Remo hurried over and grabbed Kai’s other arm.

“Let us hurry, he does not have much time left.”Chuin said loudly as he and Remo unceremoniously dumped Kai headfirst in the back seat. Remo quickly started the vehicle and eased forward through the parting ATF vehicles. Kai was face down on the rear seat half on the seat and half in the floor.

After a few miles had passed Chuin chuckled. “You may rise now.”

“Sorry about stuffing you in on your head like that. Not exactly the most dignified way to get placed in a vehicle.” Remo apologized.

“The dead do not concern themselves with dignity.” Kai replied as he sat up.

“The dead do play sick very well.” Remo laughed.

“We are even better at playing dead.” Kai said seriously, causing Chuin and Remo to howl with laughter.
