Mina watched from the darkened limo as Prisma was dropped off, the first one to go. Almost immediately,
a black car drove up to the street corner, and a tall individual with dark auburn hair got out of the car. A
moment later, a shard of glass came in contact with the head of the huge thug who had escorted Prisma,
and the man fell to the ground, the implement imbedded in his temple, dead. Before Prisma could scream,
Nicholas Steller, also known as Agent Nephrite, had clapped a hand over her mouth and led her into the
car, then driving off.
~
Prisma had been escorted by Fluorite to her usual corner, and they had not been there for three minutes
before a black car pulled up, and a tall, broad-shouldered man with long waves of mahogany hair stepped
out. He stooped for a moment to pick up something from the ground, and then approached them. Fluorite
had shoved her forward, and suddenly, the mahogany-haired man gave a flick of his wrist, and sent what
he had picked up from the ground flying into Fluorite's head. The thug had died a minute later, a shard of
broken glass sticking out most gruesomely from his temple. Prisma, speechless, was about to scream, but
the man realized her intention, and had gently clapped a hand over her mouth and led her into the car.
He had scanned a strange-looking machine over her body, and then, without warning, he yanked a button
off her jacket, and tossed it out the window.
"Hey!" Prisma glared at him. "What the hell is going on?!" The man gave her a smile. "I am Agent Nephrite,
at your service, Ms. Robinson. I'm helping my fellow agents Kunzite and Venus track down Esmeraude, to
make her pay for all the wrongs she has done to the likes of you. I apologize for that button, but it was a
bug. That's how Esmeraude's assassins keep track of you ladies." Nephrite proceeded to patiently explain
everything to the bewildered Prisma. Finally, she nodded slowly.
"So, who gave you all this information about us?" She asked him.
"Agent Venus, she found out all this information through extensive reconnaissance."
"Who's Agent Venus?"
"Oh, you would know her better as Angela Minton." Nephrite gave her a smile. Prisma gasped, "ANGELA?!"
Nephrite nodded. "She, like me, is one of eight elite crime-fighting agents who work on the toughest of
criminal cases. Her real name is Mina Angell."
Prisma slowly exhaled. "I...I think I need to take a nap. This is too much information to absorb right now."
She said faintly. Nephrite gave her a gentlemanly smile. "Very well. I will bring you back to the temporary
convening headquarters. You may rest when we get there."
~ ~ ~
After Prisma, Avery was dropped at her corner with an escort. Once again, in moments, a car pulled up. A
silver car. Then, a white-haired man, tall and commanding, whose appearance brought a smile to Mina's
face, got out. Without a word, he led Avery into his car, and then, almost as if it were an afterthought,
just as he was pulling away from the curb, he whipped out a gun fast as lightning and the thug who had
been Avery's escort fell dead on the ground.
~
Avery had just arrived at her spot. Precisely five minutes later, a silver car pulled up, and a stern-looking
but handsome man, tall, gray-eyed and white-haired, stepped out, and opened the door for her to go in.
He then shut the door, and got in himself. He turned towards her for just a moment, and put a finger to
his lips, gesturing for her to stay quiet no matter what. Then, before she could even figure out what was
going on, a lone gunshot rang out and Adventurine fell dead. Avery's eyes got really wide.
The white-haired man turned back to her, scanning her clothing very carefully. Suddenly, he took out a
penknife and quickly cut off the crystal button at the top of her shirt. Then, he threw it as hard as he
could against a nearby stop sign. It smashed. Giving a sigh of satisfaction, he introduced himself.
"Agent Kunzite at your service, Ms. Stuart. My partner and I are tracking down Esmeraude."
"P-partner?" Avery was thoroughly confused.
"Yes. Both Agent Venus and I are elite agents. We are working together on this case. You may know her
better as Angela Minton, that was her cover story." Kevin stated. "Now, I must get you to a place where
you can stay, and then go back to finish this case."
~ ~ ~
After Avery, Catsy. A red car was waiting close to Catsy's street corner when she arrived. As soon as
she was there, it drove towards her and the assassin Hematite, who was there to guard her. A blond
man with seraphic features got out, and stepped up not towards her, but towards Hematite instead. In a
short moment, he had his hands around his neck. In another second, she saw that Hematite was dead,
collapsed in a most unusual position on the ground, his neck snapped.
~
Catsy watched the blond man kill Hematite with a mixture of astonishment and horror from the passenger
seat of the car.
"Oh...my...GOD..." Catsy's eyes bugged out of her head. The blond man re-entered the car, and handed
her a complicated-looking gadget.
"Hold this." Wordlessly, Catsy obeyed. The man started to type rapidly into a laptop by his side. Catsy,
peering at the monitor, saw a picture of herself, with a glowing spot at the brooch on her bodice. The
man typed some more, and the glowing spot extinguished. He turned back to Catsy and held out a hand.
"Agent Jadeite. My fellow agents and I are cracking a case against Esmeraude. Now, I must get you to a
safe location because the agents actually responsible for this case are going to confront Esmeraude, and
that might get a little ugly."
"WHAT?!" Catsy seemed to finally have gotten her spirit back.
"Look, the girl you know as Angela Minton is actually one of eight elite agents who crack the toughest
crime cases in the country. Her real name is Mina Angell, and she's known as Agent Venus. Do you watch
the news?"
"Yeah.."
"You know the recent death of the notorious drug lord from South America, and the consequent bust of
the huge drug ring? Mina was the one who did that. That was her last case." Jadeite explained to Catsy.
"Oh my God...I never would have thought...Angela..er..Mina, didn't let on anything at all....none of us had
any idea..." Catsy murmured softly.
"Of course she didn't." Jadeite smiled. "Otherwise she would have blown her cover and gotten killed before
she could save you girls. Now, let's get out of here."
~ ~ ~
Finally, Birdy was dropped off at her corner. A white limo pulled up at the street corner, and a handsome,
debonair man with long dark blond hair tied back in a ponytail exited the vehicle. Gallantly, he held out an
arm for Birdy, and just as he turned to lead her into the car, he gave the wrist of his free arm a small flick
towards the assassin Zircon. A silvery blur escaped from his sleeve, and before he could react, Zircon was
lying on the ground, dead, with a knife in his heart.
~
Birdy watched the man kill Zircon quietly. Seeing the skill and ease with which he did it, she figured that
if she screamed, she would get killed as well. But then, the man turned towards her, and his smile was a
kind one. "Take off your necklace." He instructed. Scared, Birdy obeyed. He took the silver chain with the
round pendant hanging from the center, and crushed the pendant under his boot. Then, he spoke.
"I am Agent Zoisite, one of the nation's eight elite crime-fighter agents. A friend and fellow agent of mine,
Agent Kunzite, is working with his partner Agent Venus on this case against Esmeraude. Suffice it to say
that they're going to get rid of her, and I'm just helping them by transporting you to safety before they
go to confront her."
Birdy nodded slowly, deep in thought. "Wait! What about the other girls? And Angela...she's new to this
whole thing."
Zoisite smiled at her, "The girl you know as Angela is none other than Agent Venus. She's the one who is
responsible for this case, and the one who, together with Agent Kunzite, figured out this plan. Now, let's
get out of here." He turned to give directions to the limo driver. "Temporary headquarters."
Birdy had one last question. "Why did you crush that necklace?"
"It was bugged. That's how they kept track of you." He answered.
~ ~ ~
Mina glanced at her watch. It was 1:15. The guys would have secured the girls by now. It was time. She
tore off the button at the top of her vest, and stomped one high stiletto heel on it. It broke.
"You bitch!" The assassin Sardonyx, who had escorted her, lunged at her. "How dare you ruin the vest!"
Mina calmly sidestepped him. Then, as he turned back, she spun around, and jabbed her long index fingers
with deadly accuracy at the sides of his Adam's apple. The assassin choked as his jugular was punctured
from within. He fell to the ground, weak with internal bleeding, just as a motorcycle pulled up in front of
them. The last thing he was aware of before he died was that the motorcycle rider pulled off a helmet to
reveal a smiling man with long, pale hair and green eyes.
"Hey Mina!" He greeted.
"Hey Art!" Mina grabbed the helmet at the back of the motorcycle and hopped on behind Artemis. They
rode off into the night.
~ ~ ~
In fifteen minutes, everyone had convened in the hotel room that Kevin had stayed in. The four women,
Priscilla, Ava, Catherine and Bertha gathered around Mina immediately.
"Angela-girl, you suck!" Was the first thing Priscilla said, although she was smiling.
Mina smirked right back at her. "I know, but hey it's all for your own good, you know."
"Yeah, we know, and thanks." Ava smiled at her.
"You're welcome." Mina said. "Well, I'd love to chat, but Kevin and I have to go now to dispatch Estrellita
Noir once and for all." She went to the bathroom of the hotel, and changed from the tight red dress and
feather boa she had been wearing into a sleek, stream-lined outfit for combat: a pair of black linen pants,
and a fine black silk shirt with long sleeves and gold piping. On her feet, she wore a pair of snug-fitting,
butter-smooth zippered black leather boots with slight heels. Around her waist, she had a golden chain
with a long handle at the end, that she could whip out immediately. At her back, she had a quiverful of
arrows and a longbow. Kevin was dressed in a white outfit similar to hers: white pants and a mandarin
style white shirt with the top button unbuttoned, trimmed with ice-blue piping. He had two handguns
strapped at his belt.
Each of the girls went up to give Mina a hug in turn. "Good luck!" They called out.
"Thanks. Take care, you four. If you need anything, ask the guys." Mina said, gesturing towards Jadeite,
Zoisite, Nephrite and Artemis. "Bye!" She took Kevin's hand, and the two headed out. They got onto the
motorcycle that Mina came on, and rode off. Birdy watched them from the window.
"I think they like each other." She remarked to the others in the room.
