THE TERROR OF SCHOOL NAMED GIRLS
The next morning was brought about by activity as the boys hurried to get into their school uniforms. "I don't get why we have to wear these," Jimmy complained, "Well this is a private school so they require uniforms," Quatre said and the boys grumbled to the amusement of Mart who was showing a ghost of a smile. Her golden eyes held a mischievous glint to them. "Don't you dare Mart," Charlie warned and the girl stood her ground with her hands up in an 'I am not armed look' as she turned and headed away towards the hanger to check on Howard.
"Class this is your new classmates say hello," the teacher said as the student body looked at them with awe. Thanks to Myouga's insistence that they learn Justin's power of Illusion they managed to disguise themselves as regular boys that night. Mart in the mean time is outside the class moping floors. She was disguised as a janitor she expertly moped the floor in record time. Slowly she took the rag out of her pocket and the glass cleaner and began to clean the glass. She gazed across the campus to the surrounding colony city and beyond that as it twisted upwards and around again to come back into the beginning. She smiled at the simplicity of it all and got back to cleaning the windows.
Jimmy, Justin and where blushing a deep red as the girls in their class drooled over them. Though they where nothing but children in their preteen years they could not help but drool over them. The three of them took their seats at the back of the class as the teacher then began the first lesson of the day Math. The three shot glares at the teacher at the easiness of the lesson thanks to all their training before the slaughter. They now knew how to do the math problems.
Charlie and Steven were not so lucky he was the attention grabber of the group as a number of preteen girls stared at him and he gulped as he gotten glares form the boys.
Gym Class was not the most fun thing in the world unless you where an athlete and Justin and Jimmy where about to prove that to everyone. Dressed out in rather uncomfortably high shorts and shirts that look more like mini dresses the boys where highly embarrassed. The girls giggled at them and made passes at them causing them to blush even more. Their demon hearing was not helping much either they could hear comments like, "Oh they are so cute in their uniforms," or, "I Wish he could ask me out," they said and they boys became more embarrassed.
In the farthest part of the gym Mart was trying not to laugh at the boys antics of embarrassment and the girls turn on. The coach suddenly blew the whistle and Mart resumed her work with the bathrooms. She was not the part time janitor that everyone thought but rather a volunteer from the community that everyone just loves.
Justin and Jimmy stared at the rope that went all the way up to the roof, 'I can jump as high as that rope is long,' Justin thought and remembered that he has to pass for a human. Nodding to Jimmy on a dare they both made for the rope when suddenly, "WAIT YOUR TURN!" the coach screamed and the boys backed off. Justin and Jimmy waited for their turn at the rope when the coach finally called them. It took forever because half the class was either out of shape or scared of heights. The two boys waited since they where last on the list. Being new they began to pick on the other students as they climbed especially one very fat boy who tired to get to the top but could not. "Even Mart could climb up that rope with no problems." Jimmy said to Justin and the fox nodded. They laughed at everyone till the coach blew the whistle and yelled at the two of them, "O'Campo and Naki your up and since you where laughing at the other students I suggest you both do laps after this as well." he said and the boys smiled.
The first up was Jimmy as he looked up the long rope to the top and made a cocky smirk, "No Problem," he said and leaped on to the rope and climbed like there is no tomorrow. The class was stunned at the speed this fifth grader was using to climb the rope to the top. When he was there he tapped the rope before letting himself fall to the ground and finished with a back flip before landing on his feet like a cat. Stunned the class only stared wide eyed at his antics. The coach was the first to snap out of it and blew the whistle, "Um Well done Naki," he said, "O'Campo your up," he said to Justin as the fox smirked as well and then began to climb with the same amount of ease. When he got there he too tapped the rope and flipped down to the bottom landing on his feet as well.
The rest of the class was gone in a blur with them showing off their athletic skills in running the laps without tiring. They looked more board; gymnastics was also a show off habit. The boys made quiet an impression to the amusement of a certain dog demon.
Charlie and Steven are not fairing any better. After being humiliated by all this new stuff the teacher decided to give them placement exams to see where they fit and to their horror they where no better then kindergarteners and they where the laughing stock of the entire school. "Do not laugh class," said the teacher, "I am sure these boys are just in need of catching up that is all," the teacher said and dismissed the class except for the two boys for they got a crash course in education that day.
Recess was a chore for all four of them when they decided to stay together in the library. Charlie and Steven where in the books while Justin and Jimmy where reading other things pertaining to the after colony time.
The day when by slowly for the boys as they where swooned over by the girls of the class to being humiliated by the teachers and harassed by the boys. Still in the end they endured it for they have endured a lot worse in their lives. The boys could take school as a new challenge to educate themselves on this time period. As the school day ended the boys met with Mart outside of campus and made their way back to the shuttle but unknown to them they where being followed by a shadow.
"Master Naraku I have something to report," said Kagura as she entered the office and found Naraku staring back with glowing red eyes. "Speak Kagura I am listening." He said, "My spies have found the location of the shadow assassins as well as the gundam pilots," she said and Naraku raised an eyebrow, "Really?" he said, "It is true Master for there where students that came at the same time four actually and a new janitor. They have shown to have amazing athletic skills as well as not being educated in the things of today." She said, "Even a novice like a street orphan would know a bit about the mobile suits of today but it seems as if these boys do not know that much at all. They only know a bit about history and they have Preventer Badges hidden in their clothes." She said and this got Naraku's attention, "Preventer Badges?" he said, "Yes master real ones," she said, "I want to know for sure if they are on L1 before I make my way to earth." He said, "Oh and I want the gundam pilots as well. Get someone to retrieve the pilots while we give our assassin friends a distraction." He said and Kagura bowed, "It shall be done master," she said before turning and leaving.
It was weeks later when the boys finally settled into their new school and they made little to no friends. People call them strange the only one who was willing to be their friend where three boys and a girl that they all met at the arcade the same girl that Jimmy beaten pretty good and her brothers. It seems that the girls name was Jessica and the boys where Alex and Marcus. Alex was the older of the two and in middle school; Marcus the younger brother was Jessica's twin and shared the same class. The two became friends with the same boys that beat her at the arcade a few days before and she then realized how much the boys have been isolated. So here they are now sitting at the table eating lunch and talking about things at random. It was then that somehow the subject went to the war that is waging outside of the colony to the world they know and love. "It is so sad that there is another war," Jessica said, "Why you say that?" asked Alex, "Well it is simple there are so many people fighting these demons now that we don't know if we have the money to survive anymore assaults." She said and Justin only nodded from the other end of the table. "I know how you feel," he said sadly, "Why you say that?" Marcus said, "Well there are some demons that are like you wanting nothing but peace," he said, "Did you meet them?" Marcus asked, "Yea just before the Preventers found us," Justin said, "They where defending a small shelter filled with children both human and demon along side with their parents." Said Steven and the boys looked at him, "What? I saw them when we where in Tokyo," Steven said trying to calm everyone down when the humans gave their outburst. They eventually calmed down till the bell rang.
Charlie and Steven where still trying to figure out a physics problem when Jessica came to them, "You guys need help?" she asked and they nodded, "We don't understand that much about gravity at all for the colonies." Steven spoke up for them and Jessica jotted something down for them and they understood before she hurried back to her desk before the teacher could notice. What they did not notice due to their disguise and lack of smell was someone was spying on them a boy from their class. He was typing on his laptop in the farthest corner. While he was typing away he saw a message come up, 'Any reports?' It asked and the boy typed away, 'Windstorm and Desert Hyena are in this class room 593b,' he typed, 'Good,' it said before going dead and the boy smiled to himself.
"This bites!" Jimmy said as he and Justin stood outside holding buckets after accidentally blowing up the science lab or better yet their mice that they where suppose to test a certain gas on. "Aw come on it is not that bad," Justin said holding the buckets in his hands. Sighing the both of them stood outside, "You know I kind of miss school," Jimmy admitted, "Me too," said Justin, "It is a pain to catch up to the rest of the world but it is worth it," nodding they stood outside in the hall in silence. "May I ask what are you two doing out here," said a stern voice and the two of them turned to find Mart with a mop in her hand, "Well we accidentally blew up the science lab," Justin said and Mart had to chuckle at that, "And how did you do it?" she said, "We where testing a few gasses on rats harmless gasses to see which will effect a rat in space when we put the wrong thing inside.." "It is not like that at all!" Jimmy hissed, "Justin accidentally shocked the rat and the lab blew up because we forgot to check the burner for leaks and the desk with the rats blew up and spilled guts all over the teacher's dress." He said and Justin blushed at that comment. "Looks like someone has to learn to control his powers," Mart said and Justin backed away till something came up and her head perked up, "It looks as if I have to get going," she said before continuing to mop the floor. The boys looked at each other and shrugged but unknown to them they where being watched by a shadowy figure. The figure watched the other two shadow assassins as they held their buckets in the hallway without a care in the world.
While Jimmy and Justin where holding buckets Charlie and Steven where taking a biology exam. Both whizzed the test and now stood waiting for the class to finish. Charlie drawing the teacher as a demon and Steven counting his cards when both their noses went up.
Howard along with Duo and Hilde where fixing the gundams which proved to be quiet a handful. Due to the massive amount of damage done to them by the last attack with the demons in Tokyo they had to be completely overhauled and redone again because the damage was so extensive. Howard had to order parts from other Sweepers including spare parts for the gundams. "There is just no way in hell that we are going to finish them before the next attack." Duo grumbled as he now Trowa where doing repairs to one of the gundams. "True the next attack could happen at any time but we have no defense against some of the acid that the demons possess." Trowa said, "Oh really?" said another voice and both turned to look at Heero who stood in the hallway. "What do you mean?" Duo replied, "I have a solution to that," he said holding up a vile, "This is some venom from Mart whose poison is the most potent anyone could find." He said smirking and handing the vile to Howard he then explained further, "Wufei is a master at Chemistry he was able to come up with an alloy that is immune to Mart's poison all we have to do is spray it onto the gundams and wait a few days for it to create the alloy." He said, "How do we do that," Howard grumbled, "Simple," Wufei said as he entered the hanger floating down from high above,
"We spray the anti venom on the gundanium before we put it on the gundams it will then mix with the chemical makeup of the alloy becoming one with it and making it acid proof." Wufei said and Howard scratched his head, "I hope it works or else all else is gone," he said and it was then that something happened the alarms went off. "What the fuck?" Duo said as he and the others heard Quatre's voice over the comm., "Enemies sighted in sections seventeen through one forty five and closing in," he said and the others hurried to battle positions the sweepers heading towards shelter and safety. Quatre's voice was cut off from the comm. When acid began to pour from the roof and onto the floor. From the acid several soldiers leaped down from ropes and made their way down armed and fired shots at some of the mechanics as they ran for cover. Those that can fight back began to fire back at them only to be surprised by the demons. Several demons came from out of the shadows and attacked the humans forcing them into a tight circle. Catherine, Relena, Sally, Quatre and now Une and Marimaia where in the circle of prisoners.
"It seems that the spider has finally caught the flies." Said a seductive voice and Kagura entered into the light. "YOU!" Quatre yelled at her and she turned her red eyes at him before swiping her claws into his face leaving deep red marks that slowly bleed down his cheek. "I remember you two Gundam Pilot," she said as she surveyed the room, "Interesting having all the gundams here in one place but too damaged to fight," she said, "Too bad," she laughed as she led the others way leaving a certain formula on the ground.
The scream was all that Justin and Jimmy heard as they raced into the classroom to find one of the boys in the mouth of a spider demon. "Not another one," Jimmy cursed as he threw a chair at the demon spitting out the boy and Justin made a grab for him and both ran out the door.
Other students as well ran out the door as more demons came out after them. Students and teachers began to panic as the demons tore into the school killing many and injuring others. The boys ran into each other as they gathered out in the main lawn with the others of the student body. "What the hell is going on in there?" Steven asked and the boys shrugged, "I have no clue that is until they heard a scream from inside. "OH god that was Jessica!" Charlie cried as he and the other boys ran into the building against the teacher's orders to stay out.
The sound of fire fighters outside and the sound of both Preventers and police where enough to let the boys know that this was just the beginning. The screaming continued to get louder as they approached the gym. The shouts and roars of other students filled the hallways as they ran into the gym. There several students including the boys new friends where surrounded by Avenger's soldiers armed with guns and looking up they could see Jessica wrapped in spider's silk and a spider hanging over here. Growling Jimmy pulled out his bow and arrows and shot one at the spider releasing the girl who fell and was nabbed by Steven. Landing on their feet the group was confronted by the Avengers. "So it is true that the Shadow Assassins where attending this school." One said as he came out of the circle. It was a little girl with shinning blond hair stained in blood with sapphire blue eyes and glasses on her face. "The master will be pleased to know that we have the shadow assassins here right now," she giggled, "Shadow Assassins?" Jessica said staring at the boys who already put on defensive stances. "What are they talking about?" she said and she turned to find Marcus and Alexander in the group as well looking just as confused. "It seems that we owe you an explanation," said a new voice and they turned to see Mart joining the group. Her eyes flashing a different color that caught Jessica off guard, 'Her eyes! Am I dreaming this or did that janitor's eyes just turn yellow,' she thought as she tried to decide just what is she.
"Would someone notice us as well as the pretty woman there?" Marcus yelled at the boys and it was then that his throat was grabbed by the girl who spoke, "Well now it looks as if you made some friends eh boys." She said through her now large fangs. Mart could hear the boys growl their displeasure at the demon. Slowly she let her power build as her eyes flashed gold. The others where doing the same. "Let them go now," growled Justin as his hair flashed red under the black. Mart then let her eyes return to normal as well as her nails. The boys picking up her scent also followed suit as they saw the smirk on Mart's face. "Ah finally surrendering I see," said the girl, "Good now we can get rid of these humans and take you back to Master Ellison." She said but before she finished she went flying in the back releasing her hold on Marcus's throat and flying into the wall. Marcus coughed as air was returning to his lungs. Marcus landed hard on the ground as he witnessed a glowing whip return to Mart. "Now then are you going to just stand there or are you going to attack us," she said smoothly. The students who where caught where surprised by the confidence that this woman was giving. "What are you waiting for ATTACK!" she yelled and a horde of soldiers ran at them shooting. "Shadow Assassins fight!" Mart said charging and the others only joined suit.
Leaping into the air Charlie did a summersault before bringing out his Kodachi that where hidden under his disguise as he released it into his true wolf form. Running with blinding speed he slashed through a whole lot knocking them down. "Remember this is a school so no blood!" Charlie yelled and the result was a shock from Justin as he let loose a thunderbolt.
Cocking his string back Jimmy let loose a fire arrow right at the heart of the soldiers and watched as it exploded before leaping away from a rocket that exploded where he landed. Steven let loose one of his wind attacks blinding the opposition as Mart moved in with the Tensaiga and slashed her way through. On her back was Jessica as she was filled with fear at the speed that Mart was traveling. Leaping out of the way Mart flew up towards the roof of the building. "Where are we going?" Jessica asked, "Up and out," Mart replied as the roof shattered under them.
The crowds gathered when the explosion happened and a single form leaped from the roof doing a summersault before landing. Then after dropping her off again it leaped off into the building again.
Charlie was having a grand old time with his opposition as he slashed again with his Kodachi and caused a snow storm to hit the gym. Finally clearing a path he called to his fellow students. "Come on are you just going to sit there and cry or are you coming with Me." he said taking this opportunity to follow they obliged. Racing after the wolf they had a clear path as Charlie released another wind attack at the main school doors letting them escape. He covered when a group of soldiers came at them again. "Now it is time to go all out," he said transforming into his true wolf form he charged them claws unsheathed as he attacked.
Justin saw this as a signal to as he turned into his real form and smiled when he saw his tail swinging behind him as he too attacked. Leaping he began to spark, "LIGHTING STRIKE!" He yelled as he swung the now showing lightning glaive and lightning poured from it shocking a good number of people. Steven and Jimmy also transformed slashed their way through the soldiers, "It is as if everywhere we go we have to fight!" Jimmy complained as he slashed through a group of demons.
The group was then forced to the middle and with Mart not transformed they knew they where in trouble that is until she glowed. Her eyes glowed red as she changed and allowed the marks to appear and her ears change into their true form. She then attacked at lightning speed. "IORN REAVER!" She called as the slashed with her claws letting loose a barrage of air blades at her opponents. Mart then rose again and attacked her enemy a very large bear demon who came down on her as she unleashed the full power of the Tensaiga on her enemy. The bear came back down and Mart stood with blood all over her body. The rest of the demons or humans have long since fled. "That was too easy," said Charlie as he ran up to her, "I agree," she said, "Something about this was not right it did not feel right." She said to herself as they decided to put back on their disguises and return to the outside.
Being cut up had its advantages when they exited it allowed them to lie to the cops telling them that they had gotten lost from the main group and only now managed to get out along with Jessica, Marco and Alex providing additional witnesses. The cops let then go as firefighters continued to fight the blaze that had gotten started from the panic and had rescued two children who where caught in the blaze. Walking home the group decided to do something about their ordeal by telling the others the truth.
"Wow you are really the Shadow Assassins that was mentioned in history?" Alex said excitedly to the dismay of the boys. "Yes we are," replied Mart, "But we are not here for autographs." She said with good humor and the others laughed as they turned right towards the spaceport. "Wow you live here?" he asked, "Yes we are in the company of some Preventers." Said Jimmy as they entered the large transport and found no sounds of repairs being put down. "That is funny," said Steven as he turned on the lights to find the place empty except for tools and holes in some of the barrels. "Something bad happened here," said Charlie and the three humans shrank behind the boys. Mart sniffed the air and found something she did not like, "They where taken," she said, "How do you know," they said, "I can smell better then you," she said and the others crept into the place better. It was then that Justin yelled from above them, "There is a message," he said and began to read,
Shadow Assassins,
I have Relena Peacecraft along with General Une and her daughter and your friends as well. If you want them alive surrender yourselves to me now. I have already got the entire earth sphere under my control now and will not stop till all of human kind bows to me. I wanted you dead at first but thanks to incompetence I have to do it myself so surrender and bring me your weapons. I will not harm your friends for now,
Naraku
"That majorly sucks," said Jessica as she examined the letter, "The where waiting for us the entire time," said Mart growling, "But first thing is first," she said and the others turned to her, "I think we need to prepare for the upcoming battle." She said.

Howard along with Duo and Hilde where fixing the gundams which proved to be quiet a handful. Due to the massive amount of damage done to them by the last attack with the demons in Tokyo they had to be completely overhauled and redone again because the damage was so extensive. Howard had to order parts from other Sweepers including spare parts for the gundams. "There is just no way in hell that we are going to finish them before the next attack." Duo grumbled as he now Trowa where doing repairs to one of the gundams. "True the next attack could happen at any time but we have no defense against some of the acid that the demons possess." Trowa said, "Oh really?" said another voice and both turned to look at Heero who stood in the hallway. "What do you mean?" Duo replied, "I have a solution to that," he said holding up a vile, "This is some venom from Mart whose poison is the most potent anyone could find." He said smirking and handing the vile to Howard he then explained further, "Wufei is a master at Chemistry he was able to come up with an alloy that is immune to Mart's poison all we have to do is spray it onto the gundams and wait a few days for it to create the alloy." He said, "How do we do that," Howard grumbled, "Simple," Wufei said as he entered the hanger floating down from high above,
"We spray the anti venom on the gundanium before we put it on the gundams it will then mix with the chemical makeup of the alloy becoming one with it and making it acid proof." Wufei said and Howard scratched his head, "I hope it works or else all else is gone," he said and it was then that something happened the alarms went off. "What the fuck?" Duo said as he and the others heard Quatre's voice over the comm., "Enemies sighted in sections seventeen through one forty five and closing in," he said and the others hurried to battle positions the sweepers heading towards shelter and safety. Quatre's voice was cut off from the comm. When acid began to pour from the roof and onto the floor. From the acid several soldiers leaped down from ropes and made their way down armed and fired shots at some of the mechanics as they ran for cover. Those that can fight back began to fire back at them only to be surprised by the demons. Several demons came from out of the shadows and attacked the humans forcing them into a tight circle. Catherine, Relena, Sally, Quatre and now Une and Marimaia where in the circle of prisoners.
"It seems that the spider has finally caught the flies." Said a seductive voice and Kagura entered into the light. "YOU!" Quatre yelled at her and she turned her red eyes at him before swiping her claws into his face leaving deep red marks that slowly bleed down his cheek. "I remember you two Gundam Pilot," she said as she surveyed the room, "Interesting having all the gundams here in one place but too damaged to fight," she said, "Too bad," she laughed as she led the others way leaving a certain formula on the ground.
The scream was all that Justin and Jimmy heard as they raced into the classroom to find one of the boys in the mouth of a spider demon. "Not another one," Jimmy cursed as he threw a chair at the demon spitting out the boy and Justin made a grab for him and both ran out the door.
Other students as well ran out the door as more demons came out after them. Students and teachers began to panic as the demons tore into the school killing many and injuring others. The boys ran into each other as they gathered out in the main lawn with the others of the student body. "What the hell is going on in there?" Steven asked and the boys shrugged, "I have no clue that is until they heard a scream from inside. "OH god that was Jessica!" Charlie cried as he and the other boys ran into the building against the teacher's orders to stay out.
The sound of fire fighters outside and the sound of both Preventers and police where enough to let the boys know that this was just the beginning. The screaming continued to get louder as they approached the gym. The shouts and roars of other students filled the hallways as they ran into the gym. There several students including the boys new friends where surrounded by Avenger's soldiers armed with guns and looking up they could see Jessica wrapped in spider's silk and a spider hanging over here. Growling Jimmy pulled out his bow and arrows and shot one at the spider releasing the girl who fell and was nabbed by Steven. Landing on their feet the group was confronted by the Avengers. "So it is true that the Shadow Assassins where attending this school." One said as he came out of the circle. It was a little girl with shinning blond hair stained in blood with sapphire blue eyes and glasses on her face. "The master will be pleased to know that we have the shadow assassins here right now," she giggled, "Shadow Assassins?" Jessica said staring at the boys who already put on defensive stances. "What are they talking about?" she said and she turned to find Marcus and Alexander in the group as well looking just as confused. "It seems that we owe you an explanation," said a new voice and they turned to see Mart joining the group. Her eyes flashing a different color that caught Jessica off guard, 'Her eyes! Am I dreaming this or did that janitor's eyes just turn yellow,' she thought as she tried to decide just what is she.
"Would someone notice us as well as the pretty woman there?" Marcus yelled at the boys and it was then that his throat was grabbed by the girl who spoke, "Well now it looks as if you made some friends eh boys." She said through her now large fangs. Mart could hear the boys growl their displeasure at the demon. Slowly she let her power build as her eyes flashed gold. The others where doing the same. "Let them go now," growled Justin as his hair flashed red under the black. Mart then let her eyes return to normal as well as her nails. The boys picking up her scent also followed suit as they saw the smirk on Mart's face. "Ah finally surrendering I see," said the girl, "Good now we can get rid of these humans and take you back to Master Ellison." She said but before she finished she went flying in the back releasing her hold on Marcus's throat and flying into the wall. Marcus coughed as air was returning to his lungs. Marcus landed hard on the ground as he witnessed a glowing whip return to Mart. "Now then are you going to just stand there or are you going to attack us," she said smoothly. The students who where caught where surprised by the confidence that this woman was giving. "What are you waiting for ATTACK!" she yelled and a horde of soldiers ran at them shooting. "Shadow Assassins fight!" Mart said charging and the others only joined suit.
Leaping into the air Charlie did a summersault before bringing out his Kodachi that where hidden under his disguise as he released it into his true wolf form. Running with blinding speed he slashed through a whole lot knocking them down. "Remember this is a school so no blood!" Charlie yelled and the result was a shock from Justin as he let loose a thunderbolt.
Cocking his string back Jimmy let loose a fire arrow right at the heart of the soldiers and watched as it exploded before leaping away from a rocket that exploded where he landed. Steven let loose one of his wind attacks blinding the opposition as Mart moved in with the Tensaiga and slashed her way through. On her back was Jessica as she was filled with fear at the speed that Mart was traveling. Leaping out of the way Mart flew up towards the roof of the building. "Where are we going?" Jessica asked, "Up and out," Mart replied as the roof shattered under them.
The crowds gathered when the explosion happened and a single form leaped from the roof doing a summersault before landing. Then after dropping her off again it leaped off into the building again.
Charlie was having a grand old time with his opposition as he slashed again with his Kodachi and caused a snow storm to hit the gym. Finally clearing a path he called to his fellow students. "Come on are you just going to sit there and cry or are you coming with Me." he said taking this opportunity to follow they obliged. Racing after the wolf they had a clear path as Charlie released another wind attack at the main school doors letting them escape. He covered when a group of soldiers came at them again. "Now it is time to go all out," he said transforming into his true wolf form he charged them claws unsheathed as he attacked.
Justin saw this as a signal to as he turned into his real form and smiled when he saw his tail swinging behind him as he too attacked. Leaping he began to spark, "LIGHTING STRIKE!" He yelled as he swung the now showing lightning glaive and lightning poured from it shocking a good number of people. Steven and Jimmy also transformed slashed their way through the soldiers, "It is as if everywhere we go we have to fight!" Jimmy complained as he slashed through a group of demons.
The group was then forced to the middle and with Mart not transformed they knew they where in trouble that is until she glowed. Her eyes glowed red as she changed and allowed the marks to appear and her ears change into their true form. She then attacked at lightning speed. "IORN REAVER!" She called as the slashed with her claws letting loose a barrage of air blades at her opponents. Mart then rose again and attacked her enemy a very large bear demon who came down on her as she unleashed the full power of the Tensaiga on her enemy. The bear came back down and Mart stood with blood all over her body. The rest of the demons or humans have long since fled. "That was too easy," said Charlie as he ran up to her, "I agree," she said, "Something about this was not right it did not feel right." She said to herself as they decided to put back on their disguises and return to the outside.
Being cut up had its advantages when they exited it allowed them to lie to the cops telling them that they had gotten lost from the main group and only now managed to get out along with Jessica, Marco and Alex providing additional witnesses. The cops let then go as firefighters continued to fight the blaze that had gotten started from the panic and had rescued two children who where caught in the blaze. Walking home the group decided to do something about their ordeal by telling the others the truth.
"Wow you are really the Shadow Assassins that was mentioned in history?" Alex said excitedly to the dismay of the boys. "Yes we are," replied Mart, "But we are not here for autographs." She said with good humor and the others laughed as they turned right towards the spaceport. "Wow you live here?" he asked, "Yes we are in the company of some Preventers." Said Jimmy as they entered the large transport and found no sounds of repairs being put down. "That is funny," said Steven as he turned on the lights to find the place empty except for tools and holes in some of the barrels. "Something bad happened here," said Charlie and the three humans shrank behind the boys. Mart sniffed the air and found something she did not like, "They where taken," she said, "How do you know," they said, "I can smell better then you," she said and the others crept into the place better. It was then that Justin yelled from above them, "There is a message," he said and began to read,
Shadow Assassins,
I have Relena Peacecraft along with General Une and her daughter and your friends as well. If you want them alive surrender yourselves to me now. I have already got the entire earth sphere under my control now and will not stop till all of human kind bows to me. I wanted you dead at first but thanks to incompetence I have to do it myself so surrender and bring me your weapons. I will not harm your friends for now,
Naraku
"That majorly sucks," said Jessica as she examined the letter, "The where waiting for us the entire time," said Mart growling, "But first thing is first," she said and the others turned to her, "I think we need to prepare for the upcoming battle." She said.
