Hey ya'll! If this chapter is really weird, then please, no flames. You
must understand. I'm high on Pixi Stix, and (you know the 'Hamster Dance
guys?) I've been listening to that music for three hours strait. So I'm
basicly stoned, just in a totally different way. For one, my way's legal. I
need not list further. On with the story!
**Krystal's living room that night**
Krystal was tired. After meeting with all of her teammates, moving them in, and breaking the news to them of their free shopping spree, she was dang exhausted. Not really, but she enjoyed acting like it. It was 11 at night, and there were sleeping bags just strewn everywhere. The fireplace was lit, and marshmallows where being cooked by her team. They were all gathered around it's light, and it's warmth. The party had just started about an hour ago, because Alex lived a ways away.
Cyrus flicked her Lavender hair in Alex's face. Alex reached over, put his arm around her neck, and then grabbed her in a headlock.
"Help! Help! He's trying to kill me!"
Krystal just nonchalantly reached over, grabbed Alex's arm, and gripped.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH! Owowowowowowowow!! That really hurts!" he let his grip on Cyrus drop. Krystal let go of his arm. There were red finger marks where her hand had been.
"I don't put up with fighting on my team."
"Your team?" Reigan looked over at where Krystal was around the fire. Reigan had just kind of sat back in the shadows, watching, observing.
"Well, it is my base, I'm the one who hired you, I think that makes me the leader, don't you?"
"I could take you. If you want, I challenge you to a little fight. Winner gets ultimate power over the team."
Krystal looked at her other teammates. Cyrus looked a bit doubtful, but at the same time, she looked like she didn't care. Alex looked at Krystal, and then nodded his approval, still rubbing his arm where she had gripped him. Then Krystal turned her eyes onto Irvine. He had that solemn look on his face again. He looked into Krystal's eyes, and the nodded towards Reigan. Krystal took another minute to think about the pros and the cons.
"All right. We'll do it. Right now. I'll meet you in the entertainment section right now. Ask one of the servants where we'll be battling. You have ten minutes to be ready."
Reigan got up, walked out of the room, and headed towards her floor to prepare.
"Krystal, are you sure you want to gamble all this? We really like you, and we trust you, but do you really think that you can beat her? Did you see the look of determination that she had in her eyes?"
"I saw it alright. That's what made me decide to do it."
"But, why?"
"There are many different reasons. A few of which I shall name to you. For one, I'll be able to prove my position as leader. Second, although I know her not, I do know that she challenged me as a test. I will show her the meaning of power. By the time I'm through with her, she will know who the leader is. You see, I have mastered many skills, one of which is my body. I know my balance, I can run and stop on a dime. In swords, there is no one better than I. Not only that, but I'm the smartest of the smart. I know how to outwit a fox, and psych out the psychic. Trust me, I can beat her."
The rest of the team just stopped in their tracks and looked at Krystal after her little speech, in awe of who they had the luck to be on a team with. "We have faith in you, Krystal." Irvine said, while placing his hand firmly on her shoulder.
"Come with me. I will show you how I intend to battle."
Krystal led them to an empty room, in the entertainment area of the base.
"So, we're here, why?" Alex asked.
"Patience, my friend. Just watch." Krystal walked over to a small section of the left wall, placed her hand on it, and opened the wall to a small control panel. "Let's see, how about medieval times, hmm? In an old, deserted castle, with booby traps, creatures of the dark, such as orcs, goblins, a few draconians, (I don't own Lord of the Rings, DragonLance, or anything else that I pull these things off of, ok?) maybe an enchanted, moving armor or something like that. Yes, yes, this will do quite nicely. If she wants to fight, we'll fight on my terms!"
All for now folks! See ya soon!
