This is Blaze. Blaze is a teenage mutant ninja criminal.* At the moment, Blaze is concentrating very hard on a task of truly epic proportions.

*Well, he wishes he was a ninja. The rest is true though.

You're going to have to go back to the dark ages. This means maps and/or atlases. Is the car still in the garage? Do you know where the local library is?

Also, introduce us to your coworkers (assuming they have plot significance). They might have useful skills to aid you. Unless you're just going to leave them shortly, in which case screw them.

No car. The boss took it after the last big job. Took almost everything else useful, too, and left instructions to be good, stay put, don't call, and don't open the box.

Okay, coworkers. Both of them are weird mutants too, that's why they're working together. First, there's Grim. He's creepy and boring, but good with a sword, and pretty imposing under the right circumstances. To other people.

He's also good at sneaking around, mostly because of constantly being surrounded by some kind of dark hazy somethingorother. Harder to see that way, at least at night.

Then there's Jaws. Jaws is some kind of werewolf thing. But not the normal full moon silver bullet bite you and turn you into another one werewolf, he's special. Not retarded-special, just always big and furry and doesn't actually try to bite people.

Well, maybe that kind of special too. He never talks or anything, but at least he's toilet trained and wears pants. Follows directions, too, and he's like some kind of tank when he does. Took a shotgun blast to the chest once and hardly even flinched.

They might as well come along. They make good meatshields, if nothing else.

And yes, Blaze is well aware that he's the only one with any personality. It's a heavy burden to bear, but he manages.

"Hey, furball, gothboy. We're going out! See if we can do something about this bl-"

"Blackout. Yes, I assumed as much. I also assumed that you would take your usual measures, countermanding Psych's orders, in order to assure the continued operation of your precious electronics. Jaws and I are packing the usual supplies."

"Uh. Right. Well, you'd better-"

"I further assumed that, as you ARE countermanding Psych's orders to remain stationary, you would at the very least take some effort to ensure the security of the item which was placed under our care."

"What, the-?"

"The item which was, reportedly, the most important find of our last mission. The item which we are, at a later date, to be paid handsomely for if it is intact, and hunted down and gutted if it is not. The item which we are not, it appears, privy to information regarding. The item which our employer placed specifically under your care, disregarding the fact that you have an attention span approximately the length and volume of a gunshot. That item."

"..Yeah, I KNOW. I'm just telling you two to be ready."

Blaze really hates that creepy goth kid.

Blaze returns to the other room, and retrieves the box for Jaws's duffel bag. While he's there, he tries once again to determine if he's recently developed a latent power to make things explode with his mind.

He has not.

Blaze finds this acceptable.

"Alright, guys. We gotta take care of this. To the library."

"Blaze. There is what appears to be an enormous machine causing massive property damage. Why would you go to the library?"

"See, Grim, a library is like your mom. Completely open to the public."

"Has people going in and out at all hours."

"..."

"There's extra parking in the rear."

As stupid as he is, Grim raises a point. Blaze tries to recall why he had decided to go the librar-

"Halt, citizens!"

Blaze now recalls that he usually travels at night, to avoid MIB patrols. Oops. Well, at least they're not reaching for their guns yet. Now what?

BANG

"So I gotta know where they are, or I'm just threating random people. That's just stupid. Library probably has maps or something."

The other agent seems to be too shocked to do anything like avenging his now-dead partner. Should Blaze be doing anything about that one too?

Right! No big deal. This guy's such a pansy, too, getting freaked out over a little shooting. Although, now that the adrenaline's worn off, Blaze can sort of see his point. It is pretty gross. Large-caliber bullet and all. You can even see that guy's ribcage and.. maybe his pancreas or something?

Sure is a lot of blood, too.

...

In an unrelated matter, Blaze suddenly realizes that he's feeling somewhat ill. Probably food poisoning, he shouldn't have had that pizza that got left out a couple days ago for breakfast.

>>47536
"Hey, gothboy. Take care of this. I think I saw.. something... over behind that house there."

Grim complies, although the MIB has a difference of opinion on the matter.

"Hey, now, look, I didn't see nothing, let's not be hasty about this I just-"

Done and done. Although Blaze is still pretty sure that pang's just the pizza. Why should he feel sorry for them, right? He's totally a hardened criminal, and the fact that that was his first kill is completely beside the point.

Finally, the library! Blaze feels like he's been on his way here for forever. But now he's here, and he takes a moment to gather his thoughts. People are already starting to look at them funny. Based on previous experience, they've got about ten or fifteen minutes until the MIB show up and start waving guns around.

Blaze definitely intends to pick up a map to the nearest power plant, but he wonders if there's anything else he should look for or do while he's here.

>>47646
That damn furball is always hungry. As a consequence, Blaze ignores him until he starts making pathetic noises, and has the location and number of every pizza place in a twenty mile radius memorized.

>>47644
A GIANT orange magical crystal? Blaze doesn't even want to think about that. The palm-sized one he has is enough trouble by itself. He's been made of metal ever since he touched the damn thing, and can't get rid of it for the life of him. And since he's made of metal, he can't function in normal society, was forced to steal to make a living, blah blah blah ruined his life blah blah really pissed.
His two friends here have similar stories, probably. He's never pressed them for details, because they're boring and/or don't talk.

The one upside to being made of metal, besides being bulletproof, is that his hair sticks up without any product whatsoever. So there's that.

"Hey, Grim. While we're here, see if you can find anything about these magical rock things. I'll check out the maps. And Jaws, you... try not to eat anything that's not food. Should be some jerky in the bag, munch on that."

Blaze hates maps. Once they're unfolded, it's impossible to put them back. He's pretty sure they're made this way on purpose, and adds mapmakers to his list of people he's pissed off at. Speaking of...

"Gothboy. Find anything interesting?"

"A few things. According to fliers found on the back wall, both Ignometics and Paraply are companies interested in magical artifacts of all kinds. Paraply, as you know, has power backed by the MIB, and Ignometics offers a financial reward and mentions orange crystals specifically in their offering."

"Yeah that's great. Did you find anything USEFUL?"

"Possibly. This book may be tangentially related to the crystals, although its lack of internal organization would make it difficult to be certain at first glance."

"Yeah? What's it called?"

"'The Manual.' Second edition. Not the most descriptive title, but I hope it to at least be apt."

"That's... really, really boring, Grim. Well, tell me if you find anything interes-"

"This is the MIB! Come out of the building with your hands up!"

Oh come on! That was barely more than five minutes!

Sounds like a great plan. Couple small complications though. This is Blaze's boss, back from wherever she's been recently. Also, Blaze is not entirely certain that this place has a back door.

"Oh! Hey Psych. Thanks for the assist, we were just on our way out now, we're gonna go see if this place has a back door, so we can avoid the... bodies and such..."

"What, that's it? I've been gone all week, and no hug, no 'It's great to see you Psych,' no 'we sure missed you Psych'? And after all I've done for you. I'm hurt, Blaze. Really I am. I just don't know what I'm going to do with you three."
