The Lounge Saga: Chapter 26 – The Lounge's Plan of Attack

A week after Raizor Blaid's defeat, Jason, Melissa and Polly now know about Crystal and Amber's powers. It was Sunday morning and Crystal was in her room, playing Mario Kart Wii with her dad. Her dad finished 1st while she finished 2nd.

"Man, dad, how are you so good at this game? I'm a pro at this and you keep beating me."

"I've only played this for like five minutes."

"Dad, you're too good, you need to retire."

"But this is my first time pl-"

"You need to retire!" She yelled.

At Mads house, Mads was downstairs eating while Sonny and Shade were watching TV in his room. Mads went to his room ten minutes later.

"What you guys doing now?" He said as he entered the room.

"We're watching this anime." Sonny replied. "It's pretty good."

"What anime is it?"

"I can't say, although the main character is unbelievably stretchy and a pirate, which makes it win."

"Pfft, ninjas own pirates." Shade responded.

"Wanna have a fight about this, huh?" Sonny said as he got up.

"Gladly." Shade said as he also got up.

"Remember to wear those clothes I gave you." Mads said.

They both stood for a few seconds and then sat back down.

"Actually, there's no need to fight." Shade said.

"Yeah, what he said." Sonny responded.

At Amber's house, she was playing L.O.L on her PC when Max walked into her room.

"Hey Amber, you got any money I could borrow?"

"Why?"

"Just cause, I'm going to see a movie."

"My money is for me only, ask mom."

"I'm afraid I might get nagged."

"That's a chance you'll just have to take."

Max walked out of the room as Ryan walked in. He looked at the PC screen and then looked at Amber. Amber looked at him seconds later, they stared at each other for a few seconds and then he walked off.

At Crystal's house, she entered the kitchen where her parents and Ruby were already sitting down. She was wearing a purple version of her normal top, with a violet long skirt and white stockings. She sat down near Ruby and grabbed a box of eggo on the table.

"My eggo!" Ruby shouted.

Crystal looked over at her dad. "Dad?"

"Share your eggo, Ruby."

"Fine."

"Oh yeah, mom, could I have some money later?" Crystal asked.

"Are you going out with friends?"

"Yeah, Melissa and Polly, to the shops and stuff at the mall."

"I don't trust that Polly girl."

"You say that about a lot of people." Crystal said as she rolled her eyes.

"That girl isn't right in the head."

"Can I just have the money please?"

"I'm going to a supermarket in a bit so I'll give you money then."

"Alright, I'll have them meet me there."

At Amber's house, she walked into the kitchen where her parents, Max and Ryan were. Her dad was by the fridge, making a sandwich while Max and her mom were sitting down.

"Dad, what you doing?" Amber said as she entered.

"Making a sandwich, because I'm too lazy to have something else."

"K, pass me the soda."

Her dad threw a bottle of lemonade over his shoulder, Amber then caught it on her knee. "Thanks." She said as she took out a cup.

Max turned to her mom afterwards. "Mom, could I have some money for the cinema?"

"Just as soon as you take out the trash."

"I'm on it!" He said as he got up.

Amber walked to the door. "Bye peoples, going out with friends."

"Have a good time." Her mom said.

Meanwhile, Mads, Jason, Sonny and Shade were walking down a street towards Amber's house.

"Hey Mads, you seen any new animes lately?" Jason asked.

"Not really, you still owe me ten bucks by the way."

"I'll pay you when I have the money."

"You've had the money three times already; you even have the money now!"

"I'll have the money soon."

"So where are we going?" Sonny asked.

"The city centre." Jason responded. "A.k.a the mall."

Amber joined the four of them as the reached her house and kept walking. A little later, Crystal and her mom arrived at the supermarket and went in. SA2 walked by as they entered.

"K mom, my friends will be here shortly."

"Alright Crystal."

"I'll be waiting somewhere around here, be sure to buy the can of whoop-ass."

"They sell whoop-ass now?"

"Yeah, they put it in a can recently."

"Alright, I'll be back as soon as I can." Her mom said as she left.

Melissa and Polly came a few minutes later and met Crystal.

"Hi Crystal." Melissa greeted her. "What happened to your original outfit?"

"I thought it was time for a change."

Polly then slid across the floor while shouting, "Woooo!"

Shortly after, Crystal's mom came running up a lane nearby with a trolley. There was a display of cans up ahead shaped like a triangle. Crystal's mom stepped on the back wheels, the trolley flipped over as the groceries also flew. Crystal's mom back flipped over the cans, the trolley landed over the cans and the groceries landed in the trolley, Crystal's mom then landed near the trolley and moved past Crystal, Melissa and Polly. Melissa and Polly looked on in shock.

"Yeah, my mom has the mad skills; in fact my whole family seem to have talents." Crystal said.

"Talents like that?" Melissa asked.

"Kinda different. My younger sister once beat up a professional boxer."

Melissa raised an eyebrow at Crystal.

"You would have had to see it to believe it."

Meanwhile, in a big orange room Jawo' and three others sat around a table. One was wearing a dark straightjacket with matching pants, he had lime green hair and light blue pupils, and he went by the name DarkxDizi.

Another one was wearing a doctor's outfit. He had curly brown hair and brown pupils. He went by the name HouseCallDoc.

The third person wore a grey suit with a Nintendo 64 logo on the top right of it. He had black spiky hair and green pupils. He went by the name Visualpun.

"What's the meaning of this?" DarkxDizi asked as he slammed his fist on the table.

"The business in the Lounge is really going down this month." Visualpun said. "We need more supplies."

"I know where we could get more." Jawo' replied.

"Where?" HouseCallDoc asked.

Jawo' leaned forward. "There's normally a sprite truck which goes by every Sunday around 2 o'clock downtown. We'll just have to steal the sprite."

"So then it's settled." Visualpun said. "We'll meet downtown in an hour."

A bit later, Sonny, Shade, Amber, Mads and Jason were in a games store inside the mall. Mads was looking around one section when Sonny walked up to him.

"Hey, what you looking for?" Sonny asked.

"Metroid Prime 3, it came out a long while ago and I have the money to buy it now."

"Cool."

After a bit of looking Mads went to the checkout where SA2 was behind the till.

"Excuse me; do you happen to have Metroid Prime 3 here?"

SA2 shook his head. "Sorry, we sold out about an hour ago."

"An hour? Son of a-"

Moving on, shortly after the five of them went to the middle of the mall, in an area with dozens of tables around and many shops nearby. They sat down at a table. Crystal, Melissa and Polly met them there five minutes later and sat at the table. Melissa had some fries in her hand.

"About time you guys got here." Shade said.

"I had to wait for my mom to finish shopping at the supermarket." Crystal said.

"Why do they call it a supermarket?" Amber asked. "It's not like the market wears a cape, or has super powers, or actually saves anyone. Just what makes it so super?"

"I just think they needed a name to stand out." Jason responded.

Amber looked over at Crystal. "And what's with the new look? Don't you know the rules? Once you have an outfit you stick to it, even if the clothes get dirty."

"Yeah, what she said." Mads commented.

"Screw your anime rules." Crystal replied.

Polly took a few of Melissa's fries. "I will take these fries…AND EAT THEM!"

"Yeah, you do that." Melissa responded.

Five minutes before 2 o'clock, they are all walking through the downtown area on the streets. Crystal, Amber and Mads are at the back while the rest are in front of them.

"So did you tell your mom you were meeting us here?" Amber asked, looking at Crystal.

"Not really, my mom thinks you're a bad influence on me."

"Weird, my mom thinks you're a good influence on me."

"Paradox, am I right?" Mads asked.

Shade turned around. "Yes, you are right."

"So you still can't read minds, huh Crystal?" Amber asked.

"Nope, not that I'm aware of anyway. Reminds me of my first day with these powers, I was pretty freaked out by them and went to see a doctor. I normally dislike flashbacks but I'll give it a shot."

In the flashback it showed HouseCallDoc in a pale orange room. HouseCallDoc was wearing a black mask and holding a chart. Crystal walked into the room moments later.

"You must be Crystal Clear." He said as she entered the room.

"Yeah, that's me." She said before sitting down.

"So what's the problem?"

"Well, it's kinda hard to say." Crystal stopped for a few seconds. "I've been going through some weird changes recently-"

"Ahh, puberty." HCD said as he nodded his head.

"No. Different changes. Like special abilities, I've recently been able to lift various things using my mind."

"I see." HCD said as he slowly stood up. "I just need you to lie down, pull down your pants and bend over."

"K…wait, what?"

"Nothing, just lay down and I'll see what's new."

When the flashback ended, Amber and Mads were both quiet.

"…So what happened?" Mads asked.

"He told me that I have a special power called telekinesis, and that I should be grateful for such a gift…and then he asked again if we could take off our shirts and kiss, so I left."

Amber cleared her throat. "When I first got my powers, I knew what was up. I just spent time in a quiet area getting used to them."

"Yeah, well me, Melissa and Polly are gonna go to the cinema now, we'll see you guys later." Crystal, Melissa and Polly walked in a different direction while the others kept walking.

"So how bout them donuts?" Sonny asked randomly.

"Donuts are good." Jason replied.

Everyone else nodded. Close to the city, Jawo' DarkxDizi, HouseCallDoc and Visualpun stopped near some trees.

"Alright, it's time to strike, are you all ready?" Visualpun asked.

The other three nodded. The four of them began to walk towards the city.
