A New Evil
Part 9: Preparations
By: Scizor
Curtis sat, munching on one of the last slices of hamburger pizza, watching Tiger and Hare fight over the remains of the pepperoni pizza. He chuckled at them. EvilHareGirl sat next to him, rooting Hare on.
"Still an obsessive Hare fan, aye EHG", he said.
"Of course", she said before rooting Hare on again.
While the two monsters were fighting, Suezo snuck up and grabbed the last slice. When Hare and Tiger noticed this, they began to beat on Suezo. Curtis started howling with laughter.
"The trick is to know when to walk away and know when to run Suezo", he said over the sound of the three fighting.
He turned back to EvilHareGirl.
"Well, I'm stuffed", he said happily.
"I should think so", she said.
"Okay you guys, stop fighting", he called out to the three monsters. "NOW", he roared.
The three instantly stopped.
"Good, know everyone follow me", he said.
He led the entire group back downstairs and into a locked room. Inside were all sorts of weapons, from swords and daggers to machine guns and even an anti-tank rifle.
"Know, lets get some equipment", he said.
He turned towards Holly.
"You'd probably be best with a light weapon", he said.
He grabbed a dagger of a nearby shelf and tossed it to her.
"That should do", he said.
He then turned to Genki.
"Since you seem to be pretty good with the short sword, I'll give you a regular sword", he said.
He grabbed a sword with a specially carved handle and handed it to him.
Next he turned to Colt.
"I'll give you a crossbow", he said, handing her a black crossbow and a quiver full of arrows.
He then turned to EvilHareGirl.
"You're somewhat harder, but I've got something I think you'll like this one", he said.
He pulled a long, thin katana from a shelf and handed it to her.
She pulled it from the sheath and swung it experimentally a few times before smiling and sliding it back in.
"Know, I've saved the best for me", Curtis said.
He grabbed a submachine gun from the back, along with a combat knife, which he strapped to his thigh. Suddenly a loud beeping came from the computer room.
"Uh oh", Curtis said to himself before he ran into the room.
He ran in and quickly began to type on the keyboard in front of the computer.
"We've got a Dimensional flux building up", he said.
"A what", asked Genki?
"When a Dimensional Gateway is used, it causes a hole to open at its destination", he said. "This computer is programmed to pick these up and find where they're coming out at".
A map popped up and blinking lights appeared over New York, Washington D.C., Moscow, Hong Kong, London, Berlin, Rome, Houston, and Tokyo.
"He's popping up in major cities all over the world", Curtis said. "He is setting up for a full scale invasion. All of these cities are either very important for the global economy, have some major military value, or allow him a good path for conquest".
He turned and looked at the group.
"Pack your toothbrushes, we've got some traveling to do", he said.
The group nodded and ran out of the room. Curtis looked at the computer screen and the blinking lights on it. He let out a low growl before grabbing a small CD case from the top of the computer and walking out.

Now the fun starts. Scizor has started a full-scale invasion, and now the searchers must travel all over the world and defeat his armies. Better brush up on your foreign languages folks, it's going to be a long trip. Also, I know it's short, but the chapters will get longer, just wait.
