That weekend, the Legionaries and the girls (minus Gretchen) were sitting in Kelso's enjoying their day off and filling Lawson in on what was going on, since he had been sick with the flu when the whole ordeal went down.
"Showdown?" Lawson asked uncertainly. "I mean, I want to get back at the alarm clock wearing assholes as much as the next guy, but are you sure this is the best way to do it? I mean, those guys are rumored to have weapons. I really don't want to be involved in a fight that could potentially end up in someone getting hurt or dying."
"Yeah, Lawson has a point," Vicki agreed, smiling at him. "You guys are our friends, and in some cases boyfriends," she said, looking over at where Jenn and King Bob were quietly talking to each other. "And we love you all, so we don't want to see any of you get hurt."
"We won't get hurt, and even if we do, it's a risk worth fighting for if it means fighting for justice," KJ pointed out. "We can't let Marshal's Black Skullz keep terrorizing us and the school. It just isn't right."
The group sat in silence for awhile, letting KJ's words sink in. was it really worth the risk? And if it was, did they have enough strength, skill and protection to defend themselves?
"I can get us a good deal on weapons and whatnot," Hustler Kid reminded them, breaking the silence. "My buddy Fingers and his buddies can give us a good deal, as well as some training on the use of the weapons, I am not comfortable with the use of weapons, or even fighting this battle, but this is like a fighting in a war, something unpleasant, but something that has to be done to help out others."
The gang looked at him, and as much as they wanted to disagree with him, they all knew that he was right.
"OK, so you want to do this, but is it legal? I mean if you get these weapons undercover and they aren't registered, you could all end up in jail," Sammi pointed out, pushing her blonde hair out of her eyes.
"It's legit, Fingers will make sure of it. You don't have anything to worry about," Hustler Kid assured her, putting his arm around her. "You worry too much and your legal mind is taking over,"
"I know, but I feel the same way as Vicki, I don't want any of you to get hurt,"
"OK enough with the mushy love dramas, this isn't Dawson's Creek," TJ complained.
"Come on, Teej, it's cute," Spinelli argued, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"That may be, but we have a job to do, a job that makes everything else, love and school included, come second," TJ shot back.
"OK, no need to yell at me!" Spinelli snapped, moving away from him.
"Sorry Spin, I didn't mean to snap at you," he apologized, regretting hurting her. "I just am sick of all this bullshit, so I want all of this to go perfectly. Shit, I need a cigarette, you coming, KJ?"
"No, I'm good for now," KJ answered watching TJ walk outside and light up.
"I wish he would quit, I mean doesn't he know it will kill him?" Spinelli asked to no one in particular.
"He's stressed," KJ defended him. "As are the rest of us, but we all have different ways of handling it. Maybe he and I can make a bet on who can go without a cigarette the longest, and he will eventually quit."
"Maybe, but I have an idea of my own." Spinelli told him, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "But if it doesn't work, I'll let you know and you can do your bet."
"OK, now can we please get back to business?" Skeenz asked, getting impatient with all the drama and lack of planning.
"OK, so Hustler Kid has the weapons connection, KJ has the training in martial arts and using some of those samurai weapons, King Bob and I have the muscle, and Lawson and Skeenz are the brains behind the operation. All of that along with TJ's infamous pranking, it looks like we are set to get this showdown in action," King Freddie proclaimed. "What else can we possibly need?"
"A miracle, because the Marshal's Black Numbskulls are extremely violent and have access to guns," Jessie answered, her eyes narrowed. "I mean, y'all are strong and all, but it don't mean you got the power to deal with them."
"Are you sure the show down is the way to go?" Kellie asked them, concerned for her friends' safety. "There's got to be another way."
"There isn't." King Freddie told her. "But nothing bad is going to happen, trust me hun, the worst, we get a black eye or two, no big deal." He smiled at her and gave her a hug.
"And if Jessie is right and they have weapons, what are you going to do then?" Jenn asked.
"We risk it and hope for the best, but I promise you, there is nothing to worry about. I know you girls are worried and we are flattered and love you for caring, but you have to understand that this is something that needs to be done. This is for the justice of the school, not for shits and giggles." King Bob answered.
"Bob's right, so what did we decide?" TJ asked walking back to the group and sliding next to Spinelli.
"Ugh, Teej, must you chain smoke?" she whined, backing away slightly.
"Sorry, Spin, but it's habit," he said defensively. "But if it means that much to you, I will try a little harder to quit."
"Good boy," Spinelli hugged him and grinned, setting off a chorus of 'awwws' from the girls.
"Come on, you love birds, enough of that," Lawson warned with a laugh. "Now I think we need a backup plan. You know, just in case."
As they all sat around trying to come up with a back up plan, they didn't know that someone was listening to them and making a desperate call to someone with a plan that would have a devastating effect on all of Washington High.

A/N: I know, I know, I was going to post this last night, but I ended up falling asleep, plus I have been buried under so much work it isn't even funny.
