Summary: They're at the forbidden area, but there's a couple of things they have to do first.
Rating: K
Notes: Set in 178.
I was going to wait until the next chapter to find out what RN stood for before writing this fic. Except the plotbunny then tripled in size and ate my foot. ;____; It then threatened to eat my other leg so…
I think Tao is my second favourite character in this series now. XD He's so much fun to write!
Expect another fic in a couple of hours. Yeah. There's a reason why my 'Working on' post now has 'Any Noblesse plotbunny that bites my face'. Can't stop writing at the moment. @____@
Genre: General

"Heh. Following the Central Order guys worked," Tao said quietly, sounding pleased with himself, as the three of them hid in the shadows a little distance behind the group they'd tailed from the hospital. The group of four had never checked their surroundings once, their entire focus on their destination. Considering the other Central Order people they'd had contact with, M-21 shouldn't have expected anything else.
He could hear the sounds of fighting the further into the forest they went. It wasn't a heated, drawn-out battle, but quick scuffles before the next batch of fighting started. M-21 frowned. That wasn't Frankenstein's or Rai's style, but he hadn't been able to see how Regis properly fought so maybe...
They stopped at the edge of the clearing, where they were able to get an unobstructed view of what was happening.
"Is that Regis?" Takio murmured, frowning slightly at the sight of Regis battling against the Central Order members by himself. There were a number of unconscious bodies spread across the clearing as well, their dark coats standing out against the grass.
Not that M-21 knew, but he didn't think the white uniform was normal here, not when it was paired with the white hair with black streaks. The handkerchief tied around Regis' face was surprising though - if he wanted to be unidentifiable, shouldn't he have done something about his hair? Or did he only have the one handkerchief?
They watched as Regis took down another person with a quick jab and dodged the spears of two more opponents with ease.
He'd be fine for the time being, but the Central Order wasn't sending everyone in at once, forming a larger group out of Regis' sight.
"Hey, Takio," Tao said, shaking his hair away from his eyes. "I'm going to need your bag again."
"What else did you put in there?" Takio asked incredulously as he set his bag down as quietly as he could.
"Important stuff," came the instantly reply. M-21 kept his eyes and ears open for anyone coming their way as the bag was unzipped and Tao began to rifle through it.
There was a snort, and M-21 could see Takio cross his arms from the corner of his eyes. "Speakers are important?"
"Yep! They're needed for this exact situation!"
M-21 turned to see the look of disbelief on Takio's face, as well as Tao pulling out bags of cables and other assorted technology.
"Why?"
"We need to make a good entrance, you know?" Tao started to unpack the smaller bags, unfurling the cables with a well-practiced flick.
M-21 raised an eyebrow, glancing back at Regis. He was still fighting well; his ability was higher than his opponents, and it looked like the Central Order was trying to tire him out first before sending in the bigger group.
"This better not take long," M-21 said, looking at Tao.
Tao grinned, humming. "It won't, it won't." He started creating three distinct piles, each one holding the same amount of items.
"So I was thinking we need some different code names while we're here."
Tao got blank stares from both M-21 and Takio. He continued on, unheeding (or not noticing) their looks.
"Numbers is easiest, and it'll be a good way to confuse them for a while." He pulled out a smaller bag compared to the previous ones and shook out three earpieces. Tao threw one each to M-21 and Takio.
"So I'll be number one-"
"What?" Takio interrupted, his hands stilling from brushing his hair away from his ear. "Why are you number one?"
"Because I thought of the idea," Tao said loftily, his earpiece already in place.
"Ugh," Takio said, shaking his head. "M-21?"
M-21 raised both his eyebrows at their antics. "I don't care what number I am." Or what number they were either.
"Great – you can be number four."
Number... four?
Tao leaned back to watch the fighting for a few seconds. "Regis obviously wants to be anonymous here, so we'll help him with that."
Hm. Made sense.
"Now," Tao said, a manic grin spreading on his face, "after we've set the speakers up, just roll with what I say, all right?"
…What exactly was he going to do?

Date: Mar. 31st, 2011 03:33 am (UTC)M-21 shares our thoughts about Regis? XD
Takio's bag can now be called the bag of awesomeness. Or almost awesomeness, if only his rifle had fit in there too.
Haha, making an entrance is important, or else why do the good guys and the bad guys all have to do that? (I immediately thought of Sailor Moon when Tao started announcing them...)
Ahhh, I love how M-21 said he didn't care what number he was and didn't care what number they were either, and then he got assigned "#4" just like that. XD; Hehe~, makes sense that Tao wants to help Regis with his anonymity. It tickled me so much to see them include him just like that.
no subject
Date: Mar. 31st, 2011 06:36 am (UTC)Regis' hair is very...obvious. And recognisable. XD
The sheer size of Takio's bag in 178... o____o;; I think it's doubled.(I think if Frankenstein had more time, he'd've probably made a smaller rifle as well. Or five. XDD)
I was laughing so hard when I saw Tao announcing them like that! Eeeee! I think this is one of my favourite chapters because of the trio.
:3 ♥

Date: Apr. 1st, 2011 10:46 am (UTC)I wonder how many nice streets Takio has broken just by setting his bag down. *g*
Tao is just so much fun. Good thing he joined the crew. XD
no subject
Date: Apr. 5th, 2011 05:21 am (UTC)*snerk* It breaks - well, whatever their hospital flooring is made of, just by setting it down. XDD Just how strong is Takio?
XD He iiiis!
no subject
Date: Apr. 7th, 2011 01:38 am (UTC)Pft, now, if Takio has ever broken any of Frankenstein's floors with his bag... but I guess Frankenstein's floors must be ridiculous(ly strong) just like him.
no subject
Date: Apr. 11th, 2011 12:43 pm (UTC)...Frankenstein's floors are hopefully sturdy enough to handle Takio's bag. If not, maybe he keeps it in the lab? (*laughs* The floor might be strong enough, but Rai broke the window handle when he wasn't sure how to operate doors yet! Though, that could just be Rai being ridiculously strong too. XDD)
no subject
Date: Apr. 12th, 2011 07:21 am (UTC)Ahahaha, I do want to see the bag breaking the floor though. *wants to see Frankenstein's reaction* XD; The window handle was probably nothing to Rai's strength. XDD
no subject
Date: Apr. 12th, 2011 01:18 pm (UTC)The house is probably big enough to be a proper boarding house. XDDPfffthahaha!
Takio: *walks in the front door with the bag*
Floor: *crumples under the weight*
Takio: *is now in the floor below*
Frankenstein: ...
Frankenstein: You can clean that up. :) :)
Takio: o________o;;;
no subject
Date: Apr. 13th, 2011 06:32 am (UTC)LOL! On the floor below! And Frankenstein is smiling. XD;;
