Kohari: Okay, this is the sequel to "To Break the Chain." If you haven't read it, it's okay. Anyways, this story isn't supposed to be like its predecessor. This one's SUPPOSED to be funny, but...Oh, well. Hope you enjoy it. And I apologize in advance if I'm copying anyone's numbers with this. It just popped into my head in Civics class.
We all know the disclaimer by now. If you don't, build a bridge and get over it.

Objective: Retrieve the prankster responsible for minor accidents in the human world.
Danger Level: 2. (snort)
--Begin Transmission--
The Blitz had had quite some trouble with a mischievous little devil called a sprite. This one was risking the exposure of the Spirit World, even though, being a minor problem, it was playfully pranking humans. Of course, since it was a smaller problem, the Blitz had been recruited for this mission. They currently were pursuing it in a deserted park.
"Bastard! Come back here, runt!" Todd shouted at it, annoying with its disturbing giggling, and his heart pumping from having to run so fast to keep up with it. The others were waiting in a large circle for him to chase the deranged creature to them to pounce on. (Where does this sound familiar from?)
"I said get back here, ya little -!" Todd didn't get to finish his command. Just as he was about to catch up with the nuisance, it took a sharp turn to its right. Todd, realizing what had happened at the last second couldn't stop in time to avoid a tree that was conveniently placed directly in front of it. The others' faces screwed up into a wince as their teammate collided with the tree and knocked him out immediately.
Kohari stepped up. "You're not escaping me, ya rotten weasel!" she threatened and took off to accomplish what her friend could not. 'Man, this thing's fast!' she thought to herself. 'But I can do better.' She sped up, accidentally tripping over a rock. As she was launched into the air, she made a grab for the pest. But before she could snag it, however, it increased its velocity, out of her grasp. She landed flat on her face, the menace they were after laughing his head off at the girl's blunder. Her face turned red with embarrassment and she laid her forehead on the ground. "Nobody saw that!"
Mal sighed. This was ridiculous. Dmitri decided to try his hand. He made rude faces at it, using its own annoying techniques against it. This mocking, in turn, angered the troublemaker and he began to chase the gang leader around the park, flames spewing from its mouth. It acted like it was trying to fry the detective's ass...literally.
Mal shook his head, feeling his teammates were hopeless. 'Always making something so simple so complicated,' he thought. Dmitri ran by him, hollering like a wildcat, the sprite hot on his tail. As he passed by, Mal gripped the ugly little demon by the back of its neck, catching it just like that, as though it were nothing, despite the struggle it was putting up.
Dmitri stared at him in disbelief. Todd, who had revived in time to see the capture, leaned back against the tree in a manner that told them he was thinking, 'All that work for nothing!' Kohari, still laying on the ground and had watched the whole scene, propped herself up on her elbows in a slight pout that she had been so easily topped.
"Remind me again how you did that?" Dmitri was in shock, and Kohari burst into spontaneous laughter. Who knew what went through that woman's head? Todd used the tree as a prop to pick himself up.
Koenma's voice came over the communicator as Mal relayed that they had the sprite in custody. "Good work, team. You finished just in time. I want you to head over to the hospital; it seems that there's a loony psychic who refuses to cooperate for the vaccinations. Random objects are levitating and flying everywhere. Get there ASAP."
Todd grunted wearily and fell back to the ground. The sprite was transported back to headquarters, disappearing with a pop! Kohari stopped laughing instantly as her eyes widened before she let her head drop back onto the dirt. Dmitri sighed and shook his head, while Mal banged his lightly against a few trees. NOT...be happening.
