The Rex Affair: Chapter 4
A/N Yep, this has been long overdue for an update....
"So like... Where do you think they'd keep that jewel thingy any way?" Finn asked for about the fiftieth time.
"I don't know," Harrier hissed for about the fiftieth time.
They were wandering in the twisted corridors of Cyclonia, not really getting anywhere. Then again, they didn't really know where they were supposed to be going...
"Dude... How do they get anywhere around here? It's like a maze down here!"
"I don't know," the sky knight replied tensely.
"... You don't know a whole lot, dude."
"Shut up."
"Sorry..." Although, Finn had to admit, he wasn't really sorry in the least. He suddenly froze. "Dude!"
"What?" demanded a very agitated Harrier.
"Don't you hear those footsteps?"
This made the sky knight pale. "I... I do..."
"Whatdowedo?" Finn asked, panicked. "There's no where to hide!"
"Just act natural!"
The two stood there, trying to look nonchalant as the footsteps grew louder. The Dark Ace appeared from around the corner. Finn froze, eyes wide what was natural? What should he do?
"Hey," Finn said in an unnaturally high pitched voice. He winked at Dark Ace flirtatiously.
Dark Ace stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him. "Another one?"
The blond blinked, tipping his head to the side. "Another what?"
"Another stupid fangirl! I swear, they're everywhere! You're almost as bad a the fanboys! They keep stealing my clothes! I'm warning you! If you or your creepy little friends go near my chambers, you're dead! I don't care that Master Cyclonis ordered me not to hurt my fanclub! She just likes to see me suffer!" After that little rant, Dark Ace turned and stomped away, muttering under his breath angrily.
Harrier and Finn both sweat dropped.
"That was... weird," Harrier decided.
"... The Dark Ace has a fanclub?" Finn asked.
"That's not so weird," he replied. "You know, back on Terra Rex, I have a huge following of fans."
"Ah, but are they in club form?"
"Does it matter?" the sky knight asked.
"Of course!: Finn exclaimed. "They don't count unless they're in a club!"
"And who made you the overlord of fans?" Harrier demanded. "You know, the Code states-"
"Wow, that's a new record. You've just gone a whole fifteen minutes without mentioning the Code. Let's see if you can break this record, okay?"
He glowered at him. "The Code is an important part of being a sky knight! It details honor! Justice! Everything a sky knight must fight for!"
"Do you really need a code to tell you what to fight for?"
Harrier stared at him a few moments, realizing that he had no reply to that. Did the kid just take smart pills or something?
More footsteps echoed down the hallway and Finn poked his head around the corner to look. "It's Ravess again..."
The sky knight sighed in annoyance. "Why must everyone walk around that one corner today?"
"They totally do it just to annoy you."
"I wouldn't be surprised..." Harrier tensed as Ravess passed by him. His eyes snapped to her chest as he noticed the necklace she wore. That was it! Embedded into that necklace was the Jewel of Rex! Wait... They stole it just to make a piece of jewelry?
She seemed to notice him staring, and she stopped, putting her hands on her hips, her eyes narrowed. "Can I help you?"
The sky knight flushed. "Oh... Uh... I was just examining that fine necklace you're wearing. Wherever did you get it? Perhaps I could get my sister one similar to it..."
"Oh, this was what you were looking at?" She put a hand to the golden necklace with the maroon stone set in the center, but arched her eyebrows disbelievingly.
Harrier nodded. "Of course... What did you think I was looking at?" He tried his hardest not to glare at Finn, who was laughing in the background.
"... You're rather naive, aren't you?" She asked before turning and walking away.
"... Why me?" he hissed to himself. "Why do these things always happen to me?"
"... This has happened to you before?" Finn asked.
"Um... Yeah," he admitted.
"Ookay then Harrier. That's totally not creepy or anything..."
"Just shut up... That Ravess woman has the stone we're looking for... We're going to have to get it back before she realizes its true power."
"Its true power? You mean besides matching her hair?" he asked innocently.
"....." If looks could kill, Finn would have been dead approximately 72 times by now.
