Chapter 3

Squad mates forever!

Here's Chapter 3, folks! You might find some more references to Naruto or Kingdom Hearts. If so, I apologize. Just so we're clear, I don't own AATC or any other references to anything other than my OCs. Enjoy Chapter 3!

(When everybody returned home to Dave's house, Dave and Mrs. Miller were standing outside, side by side, arms folded, looking kinda pissed. Alvin was the first to notice this and he waited for the right moment to speak.)

Alvin: Okay, in our defense, we were out training for a "very special event".

Dave: (exasperated) Why didn't you tell us where you were going?

Mrs. Miller: (with equal exasperation) Where were you exactly?

Brittany: in Japan. We were training for a war that can only be stopped by us. We have…

Mrs. Miller: Save it, Brittany! Please just get in the car!

Brittany: Yes ma'am…

(Alvin looked at Brittany and the girls and then at Mrs. Miller, who was looking at him with a lot of hatred in her eyes, like he was the one who started all this. Alvin immediately realized that she was going to blame him for this. He wasn't gonna stand for that, so he decided that he would speak his mind.)

Alvin: (calmly, but inwardly pissed off) If you think this is my fault, it's not! I guess it all started in Tokyo when we met up with a squirrel named Jake. He saved us from some kind creatures that were trying to attack us. He got us to the airport and he said that they were called Shadow Druids, creatures that lurk in the shadows of people with dark feelings. He told us that we are the only ones that can stop them from spreading to LA, so he told we would need to train to get the skills needed to defeat them. We were in the forest where we were born, training. We later find out that what we were doing was actually the exam. We are now Special Jonin, a rank that means that's equivalent to Master Sergeant in the Army. He said that we would have to take this journey as a squad of six and take on this legendary Sanin, known as Sayla Kusinara. We swear that we didn't know that this would happen. Things happen for a reason, you know? And the world needs us. (Looks at the Chipettes) All of us. Don't let them suffer the punishment, if need be, because of what the world desperately needs us….

Dave: (angry) ALVIN! WHAT THIS WORLD NEEDS ISN'T YOU! IT'S SOMEONE ELSE! IF JAKE SAVED YOU FROM THESE "SHADOW DRUIDS", HE CLEARLY HAS THINGS UNDER CONTROL! JAKE IS PROBABLY JUST PULLING YOU GUYS INTO SOMETHING HE KNOWS YOU'LL GET KILLED DOING!

Alvin: (calmly) I don't know why you think that way, Dave, but Jake is different from Ian. He hasn't, thrown us into something deadly. If it was deadly, we would have said no. Wanna know why we said yes? LA IS OUR HOME AND, DAMMIT, WE WANT TO PROTECT IT! No matter what happens, you can't stop these creatures from spreading from Tokyo to LA, we're not that far away. You have to let us go, Dave. You two, Mrs. Miller. You can't keep the girls away from destiny when it has given them a quest. It's impractical and illogical.

(Mrs. Miller looked at Alvin with an icy stare that would've made you shudder if you saw it. That icy stare. Alvin thought to himself. There's always someone. Everywhere we go, there's always someone who wants to give me the icy stare. I'm sick of it.)

Brittany: (grabs Alvin's hand, to everybody's surprise) You can't keep us from this. No matter what you do, we're still going to do this, one way or another.

Jean and Si: Yeah.

Theo and Elle: They're right.

(Dave and Mrs. Miller are clearly still pissed, but admire their charges' resolve. So they figure they have no other choice. They have to let them go.)

Dave: Alright. You guys can go. BUT! You must come back home alive so you can serve out your grounding. All three of you. Also, try to bring this Jake character to me when you return. I want to tell him something.

Mrs. Miller: (to Alvin, icy anger in her voice) Alvin, For your sake, you had better bring Brittany and the girls back in one piece. If you don't, you're going to wish that you were never born.

(What she said next was Jinchuriki, but Alvin didn't hear it. He was too busy celebrating and leaving the house as Mrs. Miller finished her statement.)

Well, that concludes Chapter 3. Hope you enjoyed it! Plz review and include any ideas you might have.
