Take Back The Crown
M'Baku was kind enough to let us borrow some cloaks to disguise us when we snuck back into the palace. I pulled one over my head as I looked at T'Challa.
"You know there's no guarantee this'll work," I said. He looked at me and nodded.
"I know."
"It won't be easy." He nodded again.
"Did you expect it to be?" I scoffed.
"Hell no. Just making sure you knew that." With that, I ran off to join Shuri, Nakia, and Ross as we went to the palace. Shuri nodded in acknowledgement as I ran up, and we pulled our cloaks tighter around us as we made our way through the corridors, not drawing attention to ourselves. We kept our heads down until T'Challa spoke up through the Kimoyos.
"Shuri, now!" he instructed. She nodded.
"Copy that," she replied. We quickly ducked around a corner, avoiding detection by a group of Border Tribesmen running outside, most likely to fight T'Challa. "Go! Go go go go go!" I paused at the corner and looked back as Ross caught up.
"Come on, Ross!" I whisper-yelled. The four of us ran down the ramp, and Shuri waved her hand over the sand table as I threw off my cloak. I grinned as new tech and armor rose from the table. Shuri grabbed one of the remote-control Kimoyos and held it up for Ross to see.
"Nakia, Chris, and I will get control of the Royal Talon with this," she told him. He nodded.
"Ok," he said, "so what do I do?" I grabbed a Kimoyo bead bracelet and slipped it onto Ross' arm.
"You will have to fly it," I said. His eyes widened.
"What?!" Shuri rushed over.
"You were a great pilot," she said. "Don't worry, I'll guide you through it. It's just like riding a hoverbike."
"You guys have hoverbikes?" I smiled.
"Hell yeah. Greatest thing I've ever done." Shuri raised another sand table, hurrying back to the first table and grabbing the gauntlets as she pointed out some Dora armor.
"Nakia," she said, "take that." The spy rolled her eyes.
"I'm not a Dora."
"Just put it on, it's armor!" I double tapped my bracelet, feeling instantly looser as my suit formed around me, and followed Shuri up the ramp with Nakia following begrudgingly behind.
"Good luck, Agent Ross!" Shuri shouted behind us.
"Yeah," he said, "I don't know what I'm doing-"
"We're counting on you!" Nakia shouted. I chuckled and rolled my eyes as we ran out of the palace. We snuck out to the deck, and Shuri tossed the remote Kimoyo onto the Royal Talon.
"I made it American style for you," she told Ross. "Get in!" I held back a laugh. Barely. The RTF clumsily took off, its thrusters blowing back two Kingsguard pilots. I grinned.
"Yes!" Shuri nodded.
"Go!" she said quickly. "We can't let those weapons get beyond Wakanda."
"Alright , I'm on it." The RTF started in one direction, did a u-turn, and took off after the other ships. I reached over and gripped Shuri's hand tightly. She looked over at me and nodded.
"We're going to do this," she said. I smiled and nodded.
"We're gonna do this."
