My Ninja Girl 4 Gideon Caldwell (motivational books for students .TXT) 📖

there is set with Julia. Her channel is open, and once you’re ready, I can connect the two of you. I’ll act as your liaison, of course…”

“Thanks,” Micah said. “Does she know where you are?”

“I’m using an encrypted channel to contact her, and even if she could figure it out, she wouldn’t believe it. She did seem more open than I thought she would have been with what we are trying to do, although I didn’t go into great detail so that could change. So maybe some good will come out of this. Good luck today.”

“Thanks. And… tell my grandmother I love her.”

“Ha! Will do.”

“And remind her to behave.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Once they were ready, Micah and the ladies left the Monks of Repose’s weapons cache. They piled into their stolen vehicle, Micah in the backseat between Soraya and Yuri, Liza in the driver’s seat, and Bunni next to her.

“Here we go,” Bobi announced through the vehicle’s speaker. The craft slowly lifted into the air, buzzing for a moment as it did so. It started to move forward, and then its trajectory tilted toward upward, aimed at Uyanga.

A terrible sound met Micah’s ears as the vehicle rumbled, an alarm going off. Gravity dropped all around them.

“We’ve been hit!” Bobi announced as the vehicle started to gain speed again. “I’m going to have to take the craft down unless… unless…” Micah turned to look out the window and spotted a pair of incoming monk vehicles, both with carriage-mounted laser weapons trained on their craft.

From there, his eyes dropped to the monks and nuns on the ground waiting for their inevitable crash landing, more filing out of one of the transport vehicles.

It was an ambush.

The ground came fast, even with the maneuvers Bobi attempted to slow their dissent.

“Shit!” Liza shouted as they touched down, their craft sliding toward the outer gate of her former nunnery. Their vehicle smashed through the gate and twisted its way into the courtyard before finally coming to a full stop.

“Is everyone all right?” Micah asked. He ignored the smoke and the sound of Bobi’s voice as it short-circuited, one of the speakers in front punctured by Bunni’s glaive, which had been parked between her legs.

“We fight, and then we split up,” Yuri said quickly. “We meet in Uyanga. Keep your disguises on, and try not to hit one another.”

She shouldered out of the back door, Soraya doing the same on the other side. This left Micah seated in the middle, still fumbling in his sidepack to equip his prosthetic gatling gun while simultaneously swallowing the nerves twisting his stomach from their crash landing. Once his weapon was set, and it synced up with his headset, he slipped out of the vehicle as well and ducked behind it, taking a place next to Liza.

“Looks like it’s just you and me,” she said, the ninjas already engaging several opponents on the other side of their craft by this point.

“I can send mechas!” Bobi said in Micah’s bucket.

“No, not yet, not unless they do. Have yours on standby. It looks like we’re going to split up and try to get to Uyanga. Make sure that we are able to communicate with one another, and put out a message to all of us to meet in Uyanga once again. I repeat, everyone, we’re meeting at the shrine in Uyanga.”

“Got it, will amplify now!” Bobi said.

Micah shifted his focus to an incoming monk vehicle, which looked like it was about to land in an open space before the giant nun statue, the water in the fountains around it rippling.

“That’s our ticket,” he said, an idea coming to him.

“We try to take it?” Liza asked.

Micah nodded. “Commandeer it. Let’s do this!” Summoning all the guts he could, the adrenaline certainly helping, Micah ran forward, and as he did the ground in front of them was incinerated by more blasts from the sky. Another vehicle, he thought as he dove out of the way, Liza joining him once again.

The vehicle swooped above them, turned around, and came back to fire for the second time. It was a ballsy move, but Micah aimed his gatling gun at the incoming vehicle, hoping to hit the driver. He began firing on it, and once the flying vehicle got too close, just about to unleash a wave of searing hot lasers, Micah once again went for cover, this time activating the energy shield on his wrist and crouching behind it.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

He clenched his eyes shut as it passed again, Micah immediately returning his focus to the undercarriage and firing on it again. He had no idea if this would do the trick, and he was pleasantly surprised when an explosion happened in the air above them, a portion of the craft careening to the side, a whoosh, followed by an explosion that signaled Micah had actually brought it down on the outer walls of the nunnery.

“I… didn’t expect that,” he told Liza, who had paused, her shoulders frozen for a moment as she processed that Micah had just shot a vehicle out of the air. The fight came to a complete stop as the nuns and monks and ninjas all observed the crash and the explosions that followed.

Using the distraction to her advantage, Soraya reared up onto the ball of her foot and struck one of the monks across his helmeted face, the man going down immediately, the fight back on. The three ninjas worked overtime to take down their opponents, Micah noticing that Yuri utilized the power she had learned back in Heian.

The leader of the Royal Star Ninjas swept one of her opponents away by simply gesturing with her hand, the man flying into the large transport vehicle they had arrived in. Bunni got in on the action and quickly
