Episode 12: In Aster Court

Jasmine told her friend about what the syndicate thug told her, and with that they will be able to venture into this park with some clues. But as everything was going well something was happening back at home, and that almost scared Jasmine to death. A telephone was rigging at the other side of the room, and Jasmine had a hunch it was her mother calling her again. Jasmine picked up the phone waiting for Angela to answer, but this time things were quite different.

Catherine: "Jasmine there you are! Thank goodness you called dear I was getting worried, but I have some terrible news to tell you." Jasmine looked a bit confused right about now. But she wasn't the only one listening Cyclone was spying on her, and what he heard next got him riled up.

Jasmine: "Catherine, where's my mother? Please tell me what happen to her?!" Catherine breathed heavily from the phone.

Catherine: "Angela your mother's been kidnapped by the Syndicate, but not just anyone dear from the boss himself. Your mother went back home in Alabama Avenue everything was find, and when she got there she spoke to me two hours ago. She told me that "Someone's following me everywhere I go, but I don't know why there doing it." I told her to get to her home quickly right away, but make sure you call me when you get there. She was doing very well at the time being, but I heard a lough bang coming from the phone. It was a man by his voice he sounded devilish, and I can tell you what he said to her. "So your daughter's been messing up my plans, but that's ok I can always ruined her happiness by taking you. Boys get her now!" I heard all of it from the phone as I was talking to her, and I heard her trying to fight them all. But they overpowered her taking her to someplace I don't know of, and I know she must be scared to death Jasmine. I'm sorry Jasmine for telling you this news, but I had to for the sake of your mother." Jasmine hung up the phone crying in her hands.

Cyclone was listening to her phone call that moment, so he told the other three what happened. Tracy didn't think it was right for him to ease-drop, but what Cyclone said was very serious.

Tracy: "Cyclone you ease-dropped on Jasmine taking on the phone, but you know it isn't right now. It isn't any of our business to listen in-" He was cut short by Cyclone speaking.

Cyclone(Jackson: "Tracy the leader has gone too far right now, and he taken Jasmine's mother to his hideout. So where just need to stand idly by and watch it? There is no time for us to wait now, and we all know her mother is in serious danger." Jasmine overheard there little conversation.

Jasmine: "I already know you were ease-dropping on me Cyclone, but thank you for checking up on me. Oh this is so terrible I cant believe he did that, and this time he's took my mother somewhere I don't know of." Cyclone nodded at her softly. Tempest knew exactly why he took her mother, and he was going to tell her softly.

Tempest((Clyde: "Jasmine he's trying to scare you into stopping your quest, and by the looks of things he doing a good job at it. With this we know he's getting scared every minute Jasmine, so if he cant fight fair he'll fight dirty. You mustn't let this guy get under your skin, and the sooner we defeat this guy the better." Jasmine nodded she didn't want to talk about it anymore. So she went to bed getting ready for tomorrow, but I tell you this she'll be on a hunting spree for her mother.

((Morning 10:30 A.M))

Jasmine was up alone at the time the others split up form her, so this made Jasmine search though the streets of Aster Street. Everything was going fine for her at the moment, but she felt like someone was followed her by now. However she didn't know about all of this until she found someone, and by the looks she was wearing something all in red. It was Blaze she normally doesn't show herself very much, but she offered to help Jasmine. But like I said before she isn't to be trusted at all, and I know well that this is a big trap. Even Jasmine knew something wasn't right by the looks, so she approached cautiously.

Blaze: "Hey nice to see you out here all alone, so what are you doing walking down these-" she was cut off short by Jasmine.

Jasmine: "Oh quit with the being nice bull crap with me, so just tell me where I can find my mother Angela. And if you don't I'm not afraid to kick your behind, but it's up to you to decide your little fate." Blaze didn't find that to nice of a response.

Blaze: "Listen honey I wouldn't talk wit that kind of tone, so if you do it again your mother might be in a lot of pain. Well it seems that I have to get back to the headquarters now, but not before I let my boys handle you nicely. Get her now!" Blazed walked off as syndicate thugs came out of the shadows. This must mean she is the bosses right hand women. Luckily someone was waiting to give Jasmine backup, and that person was our good friend Tempest. With a good attack know as the 'Tempest Strike' he pushed some back, and Jasmine was able to handle the rest of them.

Jasmine and Tempest decided to team up through the streets, but after a few blocks they managed to see someone standing in front of them. This guy must be the one block the way to the arcade, so they have to be careful of this little rat.

Stone: "Well fresh meat I was waiting for someone to fight, but I guess Blaze didn't have time to deal with you two weaklings. Don't worry I'm plenty strong to deal with you rats, and when I'm done I'll head back to the boss where his honey Blaze is." Tempest stopped him for one second.

Tempest((Clyde: "Stone before you say another word I need a question, and that is what is the name of the syndicate boss?" Stone laugh as he felt insulted being asked something from a weakling.

Stone: "You rats don't deserve to hear his name out loud, so let's end this conversation right here and now! Don't be crying when I defeat both of you easily, but it's too late to think about this now." Jasmine saw that this guy was bulky so they had to think of something. Tempest being fast could do a good bit of damage, and when he tries to get up Jasmine can attack him there. Tempest made the first move heading for Stone fast, but was Stone was about to grab him Tempest jumped up. Using the special move know as 'Tempest Strike' this did a good bit of damage, so as expected Stone was getting up from the ground. But he would fall back down again when Jasmine leg swept him, and I can tell you he wasn't the most bit pleased.

Stone had a little blood on his lip as he got up, but wiping the blood away he started to get a bit inpatient with them both.

Stone: "Oh you little rats want to play? Ok I'll give you both what your asking for, and now I'm going to give you a taste of my fist." Stone was not to be underestimated by his size. He is faster than you really think he was, and I'm afraid Jasmine was going to find that out really soon. As Jasmine looked on Stone upper-cuts her heavily, and that sent her flying into the ground hard. She was getting up slowly not being fast is really hurting her, and by the looks of things it's doing some damage. Stone then turned his attention on the pest Tempest, and he also had a surprise for him now. But Tempest knew he had to be faster than him, so when Stone charged at him he jumped into the air. What he didn't expect was Jasmine giving him a kick, and Tempest added his attack in as well.

Things were looking good so far for the two of them, but they needed to finish him off quick to leave for the arcade. So combining their special attack together they did great damage to him, and with that hit Stone was finally defeated. Before Stone could get away Tempest grabbed him, and he was going to get answers from him.

Tempest((Clyde: "Stone it's about time you did some talking buddy, and I would gladly beat you until you cry to do it. So where are my answers?" Stone didn't want to talk but he had no other choice.

Stone: "Ok you rats I'll tell you about the hideout, but you wont be getting anymore information from our leader in this area. The hideout is in Canal Avenue near the arcade where the men are, but there are even more inside the hideout you seek. However if you wish to be foolish and go there be my guest, so remember it's your funeral they will be having." Tempest let Stone go to run away.

Jasmine: "It's 4:30 now it'll take us an hour and a half to get back, so it's best if we head in Tempest. Once there will tell everyone about the information, and they will be caught up with all of the things." Tempest nodded as they headed back to his house. Cyclone and Tracy will probably come back to the house as well, so there is no need to worry about them. However something bad will come to out four fighters, but for now it's time for all of us to rest
