W00T!!! DOUBLE DIGITS!!! 8D FINALLY!!!! Sorry it took so long for me to update, My older brother has been hogging the computer for homework and there's been some testing going on at my school. Once Summer vacation starts (June 4th) I'll try to update more often.

In the last chapter, Near and Natasha were in the Vice Principal's office. Will General Shortcake call Chad? If he does, will Natasha survive? Let's find out!

10

Natasha's eyes grew wide when the General spoke.

"No! Please, don't call Chad! You can't!" She pleaded.

"He'll kill her!" Near screamed, but the Cyborg shook his head.

"It's school policy. I have to call the parent or legal guardian of the student in trouble. If you didn't want your brother to know, you shouldn't have gotten involved in a fight." Tears started to well up in Natasha's eyes as he dialed the number. I hope you're happy; you just signed her death warrant!

Rester was halfway through eating his meatball marinara when the manager approached Chad and said that there was a phone call for him. Rester eyed him suspiciously as the teenager walked over to the phone. About a minute later, Chad talked to the manager again and left. Rester quickly followed—but ran back in to get his meatball marinara.

Chad mounted his motorcycle and drove off with Rester following closely behind. Chad drove South and right over a small bridge. Just seconds after he crossed it, the bridge randomly exploded and a girder started swinging wildly over the gap.

What the …? How the hell did that happen? Rester stepped out of the car to see the damage. The gap was at least fifty feet wide and the only way across was to drive over the metal beam that the girder was swinging. If he turned around and went another route, he would lose Chad. So, the choice basically was either life and disobey Near, or death and follow Near's orders. However, even though he didn't believe it, things could get disastrous if Chad really was a criminal. Plus, if Near really wanted to, he could send an embarrassing video of him doing the hula while on a unicycle and reciting the fart song via spam. After a moment of thought, Rester headed back to the car and started driving towards the gap.

He had only one shot at this, it had to be timed perfectly or else he'd most likely die. The metal bar was only thirty feet away…twenty feet…ten feet…NOW!!!

Rester slammed the gas and sped off the ramp. He was airborne for about five seconds before a bumpy landing on the girder. Almost as if on cue, the bar swung upward and the car started to roll backwards. He shifted gears and slammed the gas so that the car climbed upward and the girder started to balance itself out. He was now in the middle of the girder now. Rester then sped forward and flew off of the girder. That seemed like that was it….but it wasn't.

A really big business building suddenly appeared out of nowhere right in front of Rester's oncoming car.

"…And so I said 'Cheer up! It's not like there's a drive-by going on!'" Just as soon as the man finished up his story, Rester's car came crashing through the window. He had no choice but to keep driving. The trash and junk that he had to drive over made it sound and seem like and actual drive-by shooting, except inside a building. He crashed through the opposite window to find that his problems had just started.

What the F---? His obstacle this time was a random, flaming hoop that they have in circuses. Rester just kept his foot on the gas and prayed that he would make it through. Out of some miracle, he did make it, but now a random flock of ducks decided to fly right in front of his windshield! And if that wasn't enough, A GIANT GODZILLA LIKE MONSTER APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AND ATTEMPTED TO GRAB THE CAR!!!!! Rester landed back onto the gravel and sped off, hoping that nothing was following him. He let out a sigh of relief when he looked over his shoulder to find that nobody paid any attention to him as he drove off.

Chad was just somewhere up ahead; he just had to catch up to him…

The two teenagers were once again sitting in ominous silence, but this time, it was in the Vice Principal's office. Natasha was close to tears, but she and Near couldn't comfort each other this time, for the Cyborg eyed them with an evil glare. However, with this possibly being Natasha's last day alive, she needed some comfort, and Near didn't really care at the moment if he was ridiculed; Natasha needed comfort. He was about to get up when The Secretary called the General.

"Sir, Mrs. Ravinath is here to see you." Without looking away, the General responded.

"Send her in." Within moments, Lidner entered the room. The General pulled out a third seat and Lidner sat down. Near did his best to avoid her gaze, like a normal child would. Lidner was doing a good job acting like a parent who was upset that their child had got sent to the office on the first day of school—except she really was mad. Near had actually volunteered to go to school! Most students would trade in their game boys and Xboxes to just so that they could stay at home and catch bad guys like Kira (if they weren't supporting him). She and the rest of the SPK didn't hack into the school system, come up with fake documents, have her and Rester pose as fake parents, and come up with a fake (and pretty ridiculously sounding) last name just so that Near could get into fights!

The Cyborg spoke. "Mrs. Ravinath, your son got involved in a fight today during second period. We have a strict policy about this sort of thing, especially on the first day of school." As the cyborg rambled on, Natasha looked out the window to notice that her brother had pulled up. A lump had caught in her throat, then she saw the strangest sight; even stranger than Near eating his toy.

A car drove up several feet away from Chad's bike. The interesting thing about the car was that it was on fire…and was being chased by a fire-breathing robotic T-rex, an army of UFO's, and an army of angry hobos barking like dogs asking for money! Rester jumped out of the car and did a somersault to get away from the car as it exploded and sent all of the things chasing him to kingdom come! Trees and bushes and even a giant gangster potato nearby were caught on fire! When the smoke cleared, Natasha looked back through the window to see Rester kissing the ground. It was hard to tell, but it seemed like he was screaming something that sounded like, "I MADE IT!!! I'M ALIVE!!!"

"Miss Peterson, what are you looking at?" Natasha looked away from the window and towards the Cyborg who addressed her. It was obvious that no one would believe what she saw, so maybe it would be best to make something up.

"I…uh…I saw a squirrel. He was going like this!" Natasha did her best squirrel impression and her face turned a shade of red when Chad walked in on her act.

"Do I really want to know why you're doing a dog paddle in the Vice Principal's office?" he said. Chad was wearing his Subway uniform and was holding his bike helmet. "In fact, why are you even in the Vice Principal's office in the first place?" The General faced him.

"As I was just explaining to Mrs. Ravinath here, Natasha got involved in a fight. I know she's a good kid. It seems that this is more linked to Near—" Lidner stood up and did her best "how dare you accuse my child" impression that a lot of mothers usually do at this point.

"How can you accuse my son of starting a fight at school? He is a great kid! You don't even know the whole story! In fact, where are all the other kids that were involved in this fight as well!?!"

"The third kid is in the nurse's office. And he's my son."

This guy is married? Natasha thought. He doesn't even look like someone that a dog would be willing to get close to!

"I don't know about you, but I want to know the Whole story before jumping to conclusions." Chad stated. He glared at Near as if saying, "This is your fault." But to Near, it translated as "Once I'm done with Natasha, I'm coming after you." This sent a shiver down the teenager's spine.

"Near, what's your side of the story?" Near looked at the General.

"What basically happened was that Natasha and I were in Spanish class. The teacher had left the room and some random kid with green hair threw a ninja shuriken at her." Lidner looked at Near strangely.

"Where would a kid get a ninja shuriken?" She asked. The general didn't seem even half as surprised.

"I'm assuming you have Mr. Hong?" he asked. Near nodded. Lidner still looked confused. "Mr. Hong has an issue with ninja gear." He explained, then he turned back to Near. "please continue."

"Anyways, the kid threw a ninja shuriken and it cut her hand." This was the first time that anyone else really noticed that Natasha's hand was covered in blood. Lidner's face went pale and everyone was suddenly silent as The General opened a drawer and pulled out a bandage. He handed it to her.

"Once I give the verdict, go see the nurse about that hand." She nodded and the General turned back to Near. "So, what did you do after that?"

"I…sorta…kicked him…"

"So you did start the fight?"

"He hurt Natasha! What did you expect me to do, just sit there?"

"You could've told a teacher." But I've never even been to a real school before! How the heck was I supposed to know that?

Gevanni crawled through the air vents of the school. He had dropped off the supplies that he picked up at the janitor's closet. So far, the only rooms that had anything useful so far were the art room, the band room, and cooking class. Next stop was woodshop.

Once again, Gevanni lowered himself into the room. This time, though, he didn't attempt to lower himself spidey-style. He just lowered himself normally…until a flock of ducks randomly flew in through an open window and started annoying him. In an attempt to swat them away, Gevanni let go of the rope and plummeted to the floor anyways.

He merely picked himself up, but the ducks still wouldn't leave him alone. One of them even stole his left shoe! Normally, he wouldn't do this, but he started throwing saws at the birds and yelling at them. When they finally left, Gevanni scanned the room for anything useful. The room was somewhat dark, so he flipped a switch to turn the lights on. But that wasn't a light switch; that specific switch turned on every saw and sander in the room! One of the saws that he threw was on the floor right behind him. It snuck up behind him in all the confusion and traveled all the way up to knee-level on his right pant leg before Gevanni turned the switch off.

It was then that he noticed the saw stuck on his pants. Being careful not to injure himself, he removed the saw and checked the damage. Luckily, his pants suffered most of the damage and his leg only had a few scratches. Deciding that it was too dangerous to stick around for too long, Gevanni merely grabbed a few coping saws, a few files, and headed back to the vents to plot his vengeance on the hall monitors…

The Vice Principal eyed both Natasha and Near; his hands lay folded on top of his desk. His bionic eye seemed especially focused on Lidner for some reason. She took note of this and did her best to hold back an appearance of both fear and irritation. The General glared at the two students for another minute before speaking.

"I have heard the story from both of you. It seems to me that Near started the fight, but you, Natasha, should've known better than to get involved in a fight. Near Ravinath, Natasha Peterson, I sentence you to—" at that moment, his brain started to short out again. When he faced them again, he had that goofy smile on from earlier. "FREE TAQUITOS!!!"

The two teenagers were relieved that they weren't suspended, but one look from Lidner showed that Near wasn't getting away from this Scot free.

"Don't think you got let off the hook, young man. We're still discussing this later." She got up to leave the room when the General, whose brain was still short-circuited, made a big mistake.

"BYE COW!!!" was what he said. As if to put the icing on the cake for pretending to be a mom, Lidner pulled a tazer from her purse.

"What did you just call me!!?!" This didn't look like it would end well.

"Li—…I mean, Mom, calm down!" It then occurred to Lidner that if she tried to solve this with a fight, it would set a bad example and possibly get him expelled…but she didn't care.

Lidner started towards the Cyborg with the brain of a four year-old when his secretary came in.

"Here are the free taquitos you ordered." Taquitos were passed out to everyone. Figuring that nothing bad could really happen everyone ate them, they ate the taquitos.

"Don't think you're getting off easy, young man." Lidner said. "Your father and I will still talk about this when you come home." Rester was supposed to pretend to be Near's dad during this whole plan. Chad pointed a taquito at Natasha.

"Natasha, you're not getting let off easy either." Natasha trembled and Near was terrified. Lidner noticed this.

"What's wrong?" She whispered.

"The wolf hunts the angel," He whispered back, "He strikes at midnight." Translation: Chad is going to kill Natasha tonight. Near followed Natasha out of the room and Lidner soon left. She exited the building and entered her car. As soon as she was in the car she dialed a number.

"Hello?"

"Rester, I need you to keep a very close eye on Chad."

"Why, what's wrong?"

"Near says that Chad is going to kill Natasha."

"You honestly believe him?"

"I don't know, but I don't want to take any chances."

"Fine…" Rester hung up. Lidner was hoping that somehow Near was wrong (and there was a very good chance that he was), but she didn't want to take any chances. As ridiculous as it sounded, Chad could very well be a criminal.

There's chapter 10!!! Yes, the flock of ducks that attacked Rester were the same ones that attacked Gevanni!
(Don't worry, Gevanni won't end up naked, He's still going to have some clothes on!)

Coming up in chapter 11;

Will the ducks strike again?

Will Chad kill Natasha?

How far is the savage-turning Gevanni willing to go on his quest for vengeance?

Will Near survive the rest of the day?

Will Lidner get over the "cow" comment, or will she plot revenge?

And WHY is that one kid's head so big!?!
(Thatonekid: MY HEAD'S NOT BIG!!!)

Find Out in Chapter 11!!!
Please Review!
