AUTHOR'S NOTE: All right! Keep the reviews coming!

I'm keeping track of who reviewed and who didn't... make sure you reviewed.


"Where to now, fearless leader?" Liz mocked Tsubaki.

"We're leaving this dump and heading to the Star*Clan's main HQ."

"Do you even know where that is?"

"I've got a pretty good idea."

Tsubaki took out a clipping from a newspaper article with every second letter underlined. Liz didn't get it until she looked closer.

"The address for the base."

"Those sneaky b*****ds used some sort of code. It wasn't hard once I noticed a pattern with the letters."

"I guess that explains some of the spelling errors."

"Let's get a move on. It isn't too far from here." Tsubaki stuffed the clipping in her pocket. Then she, Liz, and Patty headed outside the prison to a nearby SWAT vehicle. Liz got behind the steering wheel while Tsubaki took shotgun. Patty sat in the back.

As they began to drive away, cops ran out of the prison firing at them.

Tsubaki clenched her fist. "Guess we missed a few."

Liz smirked. "Good." She twisted the steering wheel and turned so that the cops were in front of her.

Slamming on the gas pedal and going at 70 MPH seemed to do the trick.

Tsubaki was surprised. "Didn't think you'd actually kill them. Back there, I made all the kill shots."

"Yeah, but I did kill that one guy, from my record."

"That was an accident."

"Was it?"

"Drive. Now."

Liz drove at 70 MPH, with over a dozen NYPD in hot pursuit.

Liz grimaced. "Damn!"

She made a quick U-turn and rammed through all of the cars.

Patty stuck her head out the window and yelled, "Yeah! That's what you get for messing with the Thompsons, b***h!"

Liz turned her head. "Sis, get your head back in the car."

"Okay!"

Tsubaki pointed at an abandoned warehouse. "Head over there. That's it."

"An abandoned warehouse?"

"The address matches."

Liz parked the SWAT truck and got out. Tsubaki and Patty did the same.

Patty turned into a pistol and ended up in Liz's hand. The three entered the warehouse to find...

It was empty. Except for a box.

Liz raised an eyebrow. "Wow. What a big base."

Tsubaki growled, "Shut up for a second."

She walked over to the box and opened it, finding a sword.

As she tried to pick it up, it emitted a blinding flash of light. Tsubaki stumbled back.

When the light died, all that was left was some sort of... thing. It resembled a penguin, but it had a pointy snout, wore a top hat and shirt, and held a cane.

Tsubaki chuckled. "What are you?"

The penguin-thing talked. "What am I? I am the Holy Sword, Excalibur! Who are you?"

"I am Tsubaki Na-"

"My legend goes back to the 12th Century. FOOL!" Excalibur pointed his cane in her face.

"Cane out of my face, now."

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Death C-"

"I knew that. Do you want to hear my heroic legend?" Again with the cane.

"Quit it with the cane!"

"FOOL! Do you want to hear my heroic legend or not?"

"Not."

"FOOL! You don't know what you're missing." Again with the cane.

"GET THAT GODDAMN CANE OUT OF MY FACE!"

"What is your favorite number from 1 to 12?"

"4. For the members of my family, including me."

"FOOL! What right do you have to pick a number? My legend dates back to the 12th Century."

At that moment, Tsubaki turned her arm into a sword blade and cut Excalibur's head off, while Liz and Patty stood there in shock.

"What? He had it coming."


AUTHOR'S NOTE: Yup, I did Excalibur.

Oh, after reading this, go review Bad Mistake by Welnakia. If you don't, I'll put you on Tsubaki's Hit List, regardless of whether you reviewed or not.
