AN: First of all thanks for all who clicked on this. I'm really proud of it so far and I believe this story will help me improve by a lot. It is a Jori story set in a different world. Although music and the arts are not the main points I might still incorporate it somehow. Thanks for clicking. Read on.
I don't own Victorious or the characters.
Something bad is going to happen. The world knows it and they know only one person will be able to stop it, but that person dies in an accident. The job along with an angel is transferred to Jade West. The world's most wanted thief. Jade is in for a ride of her life and she's dragging Tori with her.
Jade's POV
Yelling and a distant beeping is all I can hear. I can't bring myself to open my eyes just yet. I feel uncomfortable and in pain. I want to roll over but I feel restrained. What the hell happened to me?
-Flashback-
Here they are, right on time. I'm watching a surveillance camera on a large computer. Three people dressed alike in dark, tight pants and an ample red jacket with the letters HA on the front. Hollywood arts is a joke. The name is a cover so the general public doesn't know exactly who they are. The 'school' is both a school and a company for good guys with superpowers. It contacts kids who are starting to learn to use their powers and teaches them how to use their powers and brainwashes them to use their powers for good and other crap.
"Warning! Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" The computer finally erupted. I realize I had gotten lost in my thoughts and shoot up off the chair in the security office and head into the main room. My boss is fixing the wires on his latest project. I don't even know what we're doing, but it has something to do with birds. There is scrap metal and old computer parts around and another large computer over on one wall. Another wall has a self of books and a small couch in front of it. There is only one window.
"Jade! I finally fixed my guard robot." My boss said. He is a small man with a big brain but not much body strength. He had short, brown spiky hair that makes him look too much like a hedgehog.
"Last time you 'fixed' it, it exploded within a few minutes." I respond making air quotes around fixed.
"I installed a cooling system this time." He said pressing a button on his remote. I look to the door wondering when the HA goodies will get here as if they read my mind they burst through the door.
"Freeze!" Tori, a pretty girl with curly dark brown hair, exclaimed. She was the leader of the small pack. To her left stood a shorter girl with red hair. Yes, red velvet red hair.
"Stand back Jade. Let us see this baby in action." The doctor said pressing the go button. The robot beeped it was about 6 ft high and made out of some think metal so strong apparently even I couldn't burn it. I move out of the way as the robot beeped to life. Andre a African American boy who stood behind Tori was the first to start attacking. He moved his arm forward causing a gust of wind to literally blow me off my feet. I did a back flip and kicked off the couch landing back on the ground. I didn't raise my fists yet I wanted to see if this robot would work. Apparently so did the others. The robot charged forward on its wheels and swung a fist at our guests. They scattered away Tori charged towards me but the robot caught her and swung her backwards. She twisted herself and landed perfectly on her feet.
I know her power well. It's the opposite of mine, quiet annoying in fact. I hope that robot works because I don't want to take on all three of them myself. I curse at my boss before lighting a hand and send a ball of fire towards them. The girls end up jumping away but the edge of Andre's jacket gets singed.
"Damnit Jade! That was a new jacket!" He growled batting at the edge of it. I raised a studded eyebrow in amusement.
"What are you going to do about it?" He jerked his arm around but before he could mess with the wind pressure I lit up one of my hands and darted forward to punch him. He ducked out of the way and landed a punch at my side. I whipped around him and he adjusted the wind so it blew from behind me. I lit my hands which grew stronger with the extra oxygen and sent another ball of fire at him. Meanwhile Cat and Tori were struggling with the robot. Apparently it had a targeting system and was locked on to them. Andre jumped out of the way but before he could recover I hit him with multiple blows. He suddenly blasted me up into the air with an unexpected burst of wind. I knew he'd be tired so while twisting myself to land I attempted to aim. I didn't see that I was going to crash into the robot until I was about 2 meters away from it. Smoke erupted from the machine and I started coughing while I struggled to get up and move away.
"Malfunction. Retargeting." The robot said. It looked like a few pieces had fallen off. Andre was helping Cat up and Tori seemed to be trying to figure out what my boss was doing. Good luck with that.
"Andre." She called. "Go get Dr. Blackwood." I shook my head to clear my thoughts before I felt a slight chill. I looked down and realized Tori had frozen my combat boots to the ground. I growled and shot blasts of heat at the ice. It's hard for me to tell when she tries to freeze me. I don't feel the cold as quick as a normal person might.
"Located target." The robot said. I looked up to see it hit me under the chin. I went flying and hit the shelf with a loud thud. I let out a cry of pain as I rolled away from the falling books.
"The fa-"Before I could finish my curse the robot rolled back over to me to attack again. "Boss!" I called jumping out of the way. "Your robot's going haywire."
"I'm kind of busy." He said back. He was trying to get Andre away from him and was calling in his reinforcements. I growled and cursed at him while I continued to jump out of the way of a laser emitting from the robot's eye.
"Oh come on a laser?!" I yell.
"Of course there is a laser!" Dr. Blackwood says as if it's the most obvious thing in the world. "How else am I going to destroy my enemies?"
Cat went over to disable the computer while Tori was still trying to cuff me. I sent a ball of fire at the robot but it seemed to be able to take the heat. I didn't stop though I kept hitting it with the heat. I was getting tired out. I won't be able to keep this up. I thought jumping out of the way as another metal fist moved to hit me. The robot slowed down again as it wheels freeze to the ground. The sound of gears creaking fills the room. I jumped over and to attack Tori. A fiery fist goes flying at her. I'm only aware of Cat yelling something from behind me. Tori suddenly jumped out of the way and I feel something hit my aching back and I fly and crash into the back of the computer. I see darkness and a flash of bright red before I black out.
-End Flashback-
I open my eyes and look around. I'm in a hospital room my arms are restrained to both sides of the bed and I'm connected to a few different machines. Two chairs are sitting empty at the side of the bed and a table with a tray of food just out of my reach. Groaning I shake my head and pull at the ties on my arm. I push myself so I'm sitting up. Looking out I see its light already. How long was I unconscious? I light up one hand sending the ties on my arm to burn off. A machine to my right starts to beep wildly. The pain in my back and rib hasn't stopped. A nurse comes into the room and tries to inject something into me. I slap her hand away.
"Please ms, rest. All will be fine." She says in a heavy accented voice. I glare at her while she messes with some of the machines and stops the beeping. I push myself off the bed and rip off everything connected to my arms.
"What happened to me?"
"You have a fractured rib, ms and many bruises and cuts." She answers me. I look out the window on the door to see someone was sitting outside waiting for me.
"Who is that?" I growl.
"Not sure miss, but he's been waiting for a while." I wonder briefly if she knows who I am. "Please be calm. All will be fine." I curse under my breath before pushing the door open. There are two armed guards on either side of the door but they don't react to my appearance.
"Well well Ms West you're up earlier then we thought you'd be." The man who was sitting but now standing says. He has a dark suit with the letters HA on the arm. I lift my head slightly.
"You here to arrest me? You'll need more than two guards."
"You will not be arrest," I scoff at this not believing him, "you will be meeting the supervisor." Without a pause one of the two men kick me behind my knee causing me to fall over and land on the other knee. A third man who must have come from one of the doors grabs my shoulders and pulls them backwards. I light up my hands and kick one of them in the shin. He groaned but didn't loosen his grip. I light up my hands before they can cuff me but they don't. They do however tie what feels like a robe around me elbows pulling them back. I'm shoved on my feet. My feet meet one of the guards face and I'm trying to break open the ropes. My hands are a ablaze but are useless. One of the guards tries and hit me with the butt of his weapon but I'm too fast for him and instead he gets kicked and sent falling and breaking a chair.
"Stop!" A loud voice behind me yells. The men put down their weapons and salute. I glance back and see it's Tori Vega, great. "What is going on here?" She demands. I'm still struggling to loosen the rope and get it down to my wrist so I can burn it. I can only make fire from my hands and I don't want to accidently set my hair or shirt on fire.
"We're transporting a criminal to the supervisor. He has gotten direct orders on how to deal with her." I chuckle darkly.
"He is inviting her as a guest and she will not be harmed." Vega says before turning to me. "This way." She starts walking off the men following her leaving me to be shoved after.
"Watch it." I snap at the man whose nose is bleeding. I smile deviously at him when he frowns at me. "Right through here." Tori says stopping at large double door. I look through the door to see it leads to another set of doors. I glance at my arch enemy once before going through the doors. The men seem to stop halfway down the hall and take up position while the other two wait at the door.
"If I'm your guest you could at least untie me." I grumble. She pushes open the door and enters with me. Surprisingly after she closes the door she does untie my arms but then locks the door. They had not tied me back with a rope like I had guessed but with some sort of wire. I'll have to ask about it later. The room is small there is a desk where the supervisor of HA sits there are two chairs in front of him and a locked cupboard to the right and left. There is a window behind him letting in light.
"Dr. Casam." Tori greeted bowing slightly then gesturing for me to do the same. I do not.
"Ms West." Dr Casam says. I perk an eyebrow and move over to one of the chairs but I don't sit instead I lean on the back of it. Truth be told my rib is killing me so much I could die. Whatever pain killers they gave me completely wore off. "I'm sure you're wondering what you're doing here and not in a cell." He pauses expecting me to speak but I don't. "You're an exceptional fighter, better than some of our own and we have a proposal for you."
"Get to the point." I snap. He pauses crossing his fingers in front of him.
"We want you to join Hollywood Arts."
