Chapter one: stepbrother vs. stepsister

Torrington academy-Sherbrooke-Quebec

It was a normal, sunny day at Torrington academy; the birds were chirping, the sky was blue, the school bustled with students; and as always… a certain blond ruined it all.

"Hoo-hah!" a voice shouted down the hallway, a blond teenager skateboarded through the halls, dodging people and other things…

Martin Mystery. A fairly happy-go-lucky type that chased after pretty girls at whatever chance he got with his poor charms and was ever so often rejected by them; he wasn't a good student in Torrington, always getting into trouble by breaking the rules almost all the time and loved annoying (and scaring) the heck out of his step-sister; he was very good in sports and anything that involved action or paranormal things. He always wore his trademark attire that consisted of a fiery yellow and red shirt and khaki pants with red sneakers, his yellowish blonde hair always combed straight up like a flame itself.

As he skateboarded down the hall, he noticed a certain strawberry blonde in a black dress walking by and his amber eyes immediately sparkled, "Jenny! Hi!" he waved, trying to get her attention as he passed her by, the girl turned around to give a retort but her eyes widened.

"Martin look out!" she shouted, "Huh?" he turned around to look in front of him "Whoa!" he yelped and before he could stop, he ran into the thing Jenny warned him about.

CRASH!

A loud crash was heard in the hallway as two teens collided with each other, papers and books flew up in the air and a skateboard along with them, soon falling down on top of Martin and the other student.

"MARTIN!" a roar of rage was heard across the school, probably the whole country as a very angry face came into his line of vision. The blond boy looked up and grinned nervously at none other than Diana Lombard herself.

Diana Lombard. A very smart student, straight A's in all of her classes and Martin's stepsister, she often scolds her stepbrother for being immature and tries to take care and look out for him as best as she could and is also the reason why he isn't kicked out of the school yet. She doesn't chase guys, but swoons when she sees a rather handsome young man; she is serious about everything and always tries to solve the problem with logic when strange things happen, she isn't much into sports like her brother but likes to have fun once in a while. Her trademark attire consisted of a plain purple and pink shirt with light jeans and purple sneakers; her chocolate brown hair always down, only two hair clips always in her hair to keep her bangs out of her face.

"Martin Mystery, look what you've done! I've been up all night sorting these papers out! Now you ruined them!" The brown haired girl yelled and smacked her stupid step-brother and then tried to grab all of her things that were sprawled all over the hallway.

Another girl soon ran up to the two teens "Diana are you okay?" the strawberry blonde asked in concern as she kneeled down to help pick up the papers.

Martin rubbed his sore cheek, mumbling, but his frown turned upside-down when he saw Jenny and decided to help too by picking up the papers, "Sorry Diana, the beauty of Jenny blinded me and I couldn't see where I was going" the blond boy winked at the girl named Jenny in an attempt to flirt with her.

Diana rolled her eyes while Jenny scrunched up her nose in disgust, "Nice try Martin! Now if only you could stay blinded so I won't have to worry about you spotting me and follow me around!" she shot back.

Jenny got up and handed the papers to the brunette, "Here Diana, see you later when this freak you call a brother isn't around" she said and turned around, her high heels clicking on the marble floors as she walked away.

Ouch, that stung Martin's ego.

"Will do!" the brunette waved and turned to scowl at her step-brother, snatching the remaining papers from Martin's grasp, "Can't you get anymore immature? You know it's against the rules to skateboard in the school halls! The reason that rule was made just so things like this wouldn't happen!" she scolded and put a hand on her hip in an annoyed gesture, making Martin's eye twitch, annoyed with her constant scolds lately these past few days.

"Well, if you actually looked who was coming your way then maybe we wouldn't have run into each other!" he shot back, crossing his arms, a scowl present on his face.

"Me? You were the one who should have looked where you were going! You were the one on the skateboard!" the brunette shouted, sizzling in anger as Martin got in her face; you could almost see the raging fire burning in the background as the two growled at each other like rabid dogs.

"Well, that is why other people have eyes D. so they could move out of the way if I don't see them! If you were looking then maybe I wouldn't have accidentally hit you!" he yelled back.

"Yeah, if not me then you would have hit someone else that could have reported you for the damage you could have caused on their stuff and possibly on themselves as well! Luckily we weren't seriously hurt!"

"What are you, my mom? You're not the boss of me!" Martin growled.

"Oh no? Well you certainly need someone to look out for your immature self, don't forget who keeps your head above water when the exams hit!" Diana yelled, her face red as her temper flared, her blonde stepbrother not far behind, "Oh yeah? Well who says I need you anyway? I never asked for your help!"

The two teens paused when they heard someone clear his throat; they looked to their right and saw their friend the caveman.

Java the caveman. Despite his size and his freakishly inhuman strength, the hairy caveman was a gentle giant with a big heart; he loved all people but wasn't very social because of his poor speech; he loved food and especially raw meat. His attire consisted of a plain yellow shirt with black pants and shoes.

"Why Martin and Diana fight?" the black haired man asked, behind him were other people staring at the arguing stepsiblings.

The two teens blushed in embarrassment when they realized that everyone had been staring at them the whole time.

"Oh nothing, it's fine!" Diana chuckled nervously, waving at the crowd to tell them that there was nothing to see here; pretty soon the small group of students scattered.

When fewer people were in the hallway, it was then that Diana decided to speak, "Great job Martin, you just embarrassed us in front of everyone!" she scowled, "Me? You were the one who started it with your 'Ooh!-I'm-such-a-goody-two-shoes-and-I'm-smarter-that-you-because-I-follow-the-rules-unlike-you' kind of lecture!" Martin mocked in return.

"Why you-! Ugh! You're such a pain!" she yelled, stomping her foot on the ground, her hands balling into fists.

"Well that makes two of us! It's hard enjoying a day with you always whining and yelling in my ear every second since we've met!" he shot back, crossing his arms and scrunched up his nose.

"You ungrateful little troll!" she painted a red hand-shaped print on his face and stomped away after smacking him, smoke steaming out of her ears.

Martin rubbed his stinging cheek and glared at her retrieving form "Ungrateful? What should I be grateful for? Grateful to have a whiny dork like Diana? As if! Right Java?" he scoffed, picking up his skateboard, "But Martin, I think Diana only want to help you" his hairy friend replied, scratching the back of his head nervously.

"Not you too Java! How can she possibly help me with her yelling in my ear all day? Help me become deaf?" the blond teen huffed and the black haired man next to him frowned, "But-"

"Humph! Great! She just made my day turn sour! And I was looking for more free time!" Martin growled, "See ya later Java, I guess we'll have to hang out later" he sighed and hopped on his skateboard, rolling away and leaving his confused friend behind.

.

Martin opened and slammed his door shut when he entered his messy room and plopped down on his unmade bed, "Ungrateful? Hah! She's the one that's ungrateful! She should be grateful to have someone like me to protect her and save her in our missions all the time!" Martin snorted, staring at his ceiling.

"I wish she would stop pestering me and leave me alone for once!" he said to himself, really annoyed with the brunette nerd he called his stepsister.

…

Unknowingly to him, green eyes watched him as a shadow sat near the widow, looking inside.

…

Martin looked down at his U-watch when a loud beeping noise snapped him out of his thoughts. The Center was calling.

He got up, grumbling that he will have to see his sister's ugly face as he walked out of his room.

While he was searching for the hidden passage, he met Java, and unfortunately, his stepsister Diana along the way; the blonde boy and the brunette glared at each other and then quickly turned away from one another stubbornly with crossed arms, "Humph!"

Java sweat-dropped as he opened a locker, making sure nobody was around and surely enough the Center was in full view on the other side.

They entered the rippling blue substance and soon enough they had stepped on the floating platform that lead them to M.O.M.

The scanner came up and a thin red laser line scanned them from head to toe.

Martin Mystery, clear.

Diana Lombard, clear.

Java the Caveman, clear.

The three were greeted by Billy a few seconds later. "Hey guys! What's up?"

Billy. A cute, little green alien from another planet that worked at the Center 24/7 and always hovered around in a little floating machine, with the exception when he wore his human suit; he saw Martin as his Idol and loved popping out of nowhere in front of the three in missions, scaring them most of the time. He always wore a white jumpsuit.

Java greeted in return but Martin and Diana didn't reply, they remained with crossed arms and backs turned to each other, eyes closed stubbornly and noses in the air. The caveman sighed when Billy looked at them in confusion, "Martin and Diana fight." The raven haired man simply said.

Their green friend blinked, "Fight? But why?" he asked as the four entered through the sliding doors that lead to M.O.M's office, the elevator going up.

"Because Billy, my stepbrother is being ignorant as always!" the brunette answered; before the alien could reply, Martin cut him off "Billy, tell my dorky stepsister that she's being nosy" he huffed as the blond and the brunette turned and glared at each other, a lightning bolt clashing in between them.

"Billy, tell Martin that he's being selfish and over-egoistical!"

"Billy, tell Diana that she's being a goody-two-shoes again and is annoying with her constant whining!"

"Billy, tell Martin he's getting on my nerves!"

The little green alien and the large caveman looked left and right in between the two as each shot words back and forth at each other, soon the two getting in each others faces, snarling and shouting; not realizing that they had entered M.O.M.'s office.

"I'm getting on your nerves? You're going all rodeo on mine!"

"At least I don't try to get myself kicked out of school!"

"At least I know how to live and have fun!"

"What! Don't tell me I don't know how to have fun you little-"

"QUIET!"

The two teens immediately froze when a loud yell cut them off, "Martin Mystery and Diana Lombard, if you don't stop fighting right now, I'll make sure you will both be cleaning the Center cages for a week!"

The two stepsiblings shut their mouths and straightened up before their raven haired boss got any angrier "Sorry M.O.M" they chorused.

M.O.M. A very strict woman that is always serious and calm no matter how bad a situation is, with the exception of Martin and his butter fingers that often destroyed anything they touched. She can be a real party animal at night clubs, is the Center's top agent and respected by all. Her attire consisted of a white dress with matching white boots that ended at her upper thigh that was covered by the dress.

"Hm. Anyway, I have summoned you here to tell you that your missions will be temporarily on hold for the rest of the month because we need to test out our new agents here in the Center; if trouble occurs, make sure you are on standby."

"What!" the blond boy yelled, a chibi, teary eyed Martin appearing in front of the woman "But- but M.O.M! It's not fair!" he whined; Diana crossed her arms "Well, if it means no mission, then it means no Martin to deal with and that means that I'm fine with it" she stated, making the blond sizzle.

"Hey! You're not the one who has to rescue your banshee of a stepsister on every single mission!" he shot back, as the two got in a glaring contest yet again.

"What! I could take care of myself just fine! Who ever said I needed your help?" Diana yelled, shaking a fist in his direction, ready to punch him at any second out of anger; Martin snorted in return, "Uh… you did! You're the one always screaming your head off for me to help you when some creature comes and tries to get you! 'Oh Martin! HELP!" he mocked and pointed at her face, "And FYI you can't take care of yourself!" he added, causing a vein to pop in the brunette's forehead.

"Oh! And you're telling me you could?" she fake-laughed, Martin lifted a brow at that, "Duh! Who always ends up saving the day unscratched? Oh… that's right, me! You always need me to protect you!" he shot back and jabbed a thumb on his chest, "And you always need me to look out for you so you don't get yourself into trouble!" She yelled; her fists balled up in fury.

"Yeah right! You're the one who needs looking out for! We both know I'm your 'hero' no matter how much you deny it!" the blond teen smirked, enjoying pushing her buttons no matter how annoying he thought she was; he loved seeing her so pissed off and especially now, because she and himself both knew he was right "Oh that's it!" Diana screeched and attacked Martin, causing both of them to fall down as she tried to strangle him.

Java covered his eyes, peeking through his fingers as the two teenagers wrestled around, rolling on the floor, trying to overpower one another; grunts, yelps and shouts were heard in the office as Martin and Diana fought by biting, pulling hair, scratching and kicking. Billy gulped when he saw the look on M.O.M.'s face; she was indeed losing her patience.

Martin was without a doubt stronger than Diana, but she did put up a good fight until he managed to pin her down, "You troll! I'll send you to China flying first class!" the girl yelled as she kicked and squirmed with her heavy brother who sat on her stomach, pinning her arms; the blond grinned in victory, "Ha-ha-ha-HA! Who's better? I am!" he laughed evilly in her face, enjoying the burning fire raging inside her green hues.

The raven haired woman known as M.O.M. sighed, placing an elbow on her desk to rub her temples; she picked up a mug that sat on the large table near her and took a sip of coffee to calm her nerves.

"You idiot! Let me go or I'll clobber you!" The brunette screeched, still struggling, "You'll clobber me? Not a very good line for your situation! You need to be taught a lesson!" the blonde boy grinned, gathering saliva in his mouth and snorting to let her know what he's doing, making Diana's eyes widen.

"Oh no! No! No! Don't you dare! No! EW!" she yelped as her stepbrother parted his lips slightly as a clear, gooey substance slowly slid down his bottom lip and like a string, painfully slow descending down towards the panicky and disgusted girl's face.

"Java…" M.O.M. sighed and the caveman nodded, walking over to the teens.

"Martin Mystery you'll pay for this!" she whined in disgust, shutting her eyes and bracing for Martin's saliva to seep onto her face that was now just hanging an inch away.

Martin grinned at her scrunched up face but yelped when he was abruptly pulled off by the collar of his shirt and before he knew it, he was caught in a headlock, his spit falling on the ground next to Diana's head.

"Whew!" she sighed in relief and got up, "Thank you Java, now to finish you off!" she yelled at Martin and went to attack again but was also grabbed in a headlock by Java's other arm, "Java! What was that for?" the brunette complained.

"I inform you Martin Mystery and Diana Lombard, that THIS IS NOT A PLAYGROUND!" M.O.M. shouted, getting up abruptly and slammed her fists on the table, causing the two teens to gulp.

"Well she started it!" The blond boy pointed at the girl, "Oh, real mature Martin!" Diana retorted sarcastically, "Aw! You were just angry because I'm the better one! Baby D. should respect her older brother!" Martin mocked, cooing and making his spitfire stepsister growl, "What! Our age difference is only a few months!"

M.O.M. sat back down a gave a long sigh, resuming with rubbing her temples, tired of all of this, "Jeez, I haven't seen these two so riled up before, they're like this for quite a while even if I don't know why… talk about sibling rivalry!" Billy hovered over to the woman, giving an impressed whistle, "Yes, and what's worse is that they're stepsiblings" M.O.M. replied.

"Which makes me older!" the blond stated; Diana's temper flared as she reached for him to choke him to death, clawing and waving her hands around to get to him but Java's chokehold was preventing her from doing so. Martin did the same as the two stepsiblings tried to fight each other, grunting and squirming.

The black haired caveman grew annoyed and knocked their heads together, causing them to grunt in pain, "OW!"

"Java!" the two whined, rubbing their sore heads, "Java say quiet down!" his deep voice rumbled, clearly showing irritation.

"Martin and Diana, I'll let this slip for now because I'm tired… Both of you are highly skilled agents from the Center! I expected you to act more mature and not wrestle around like 10 year olds! From Martin, I expected as much… but I never thought I would see such immature acts from you Diana, I'm disappointed!" their boss said, crossing her arms, "I expect you two to get along by the time I call you up again, or I'll personally make your lives much harder! Got it?"

The two teens nodded sourly and Java let them go, they glared at each other as Billy opened a portal for them to go back to Torrington; Martin stuck his tongue out at her as the two stood just in front of the portal that left the Center "You're gross, troll!" the brunette growled "fire-breathing Nerd!" her partner shot back.

"Keep walking!" M.O.M. yelled as the caveman pushed them both out, soon following behind.

…

When the portal closed, the raven haired woman slumped in her chair, "Ugh… teenagers!" She exclaimed and ran a hand over her eyes, rims under them from the lack of sleep, "Don't worry M.O.M. they'll work it out" the green alien encouraged, "Let's hope so" she sighed.

…

Raven: next chapter will come soon! And yes, a soul-breaker creature does not exist (I think); those two words just popped up in my head, soul-breaker… if there is such a thing then please send me the link!

As I always say (and do): the more reviews I get, the faster I write. It's true! XD
