Hm.. Someone said that I should update faster if I already have the story in my mind.
There are good.. no just plain reasons I don't. first off. I'm lazy and don't have much motivation. Second, I like to wait for some reviews before I update.

BZZZZZZZZZSam held the Twister Scissors in her hands, watching the blinking grid on the handle of it. It was hard to concentrate on the map because of the vibrations at the end of the gadget. It was spinning extremely fast and cut the foliage around her for a better path.
Alex put a hand to Sam's shoulder and gestured them to sit down. She let out a sigh and laid back against a tree covered with soft moss. They had been walking around nonstop for an hour and a half. Her feet were killing her!
Sam turned off the spinning blades on her item and tapped the screen. "This isn't helping at all!" Sam let out a groan and shut her eyes. Light filtered though her eyelids and she put a hand over them to shield her vision.
Sam was too frustrated to think clearly. They had followed the trail towards the signals that appeared on the Twister Scissors, but they always either led to some small devise left by WOOHP agents to detect unusual movements, or somewhere near an electric wire hanging in the sky. Jerry sure gave me a useless weapon, thought Sam, but it was pretty good for cutting the flora around here, she had to admit. It might have taken us longer if the plants were in our way.
"What time is it, Sam?" Alex asked as she sat up and crawled near to Sam sitting opposite of her.
Sam opened her com-powder. There, on the screen flashed: 2:47. She showed Alex and then snapped it shut.
"It'll be sunset by the time we find both of them." Alex whined and shot her head down to look upon the earth.
"Not if we look faster." Said Sam. She stood up and dusted herself off. "C'mon," she smiled. "We have a mission to finish."
Clover slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was blurred, and all she could see was green. She felt pressured around her arms and torso. Her legs felt weightless and she could feel nothing but air underneath herself. When she opened her eyes fully, she saw no ground. Some bids flew by a few feet below. But they were hundreds of feet above the ground.
She was hung in the air by a rope. The rope was attached to a tree branch that extended out over a cliff. She was hanging about five feet over the edge of a plateau. Once she realized how high up she was she kicked her legs around madly, yelling for someone to save her.
"Aah!" Clover cried. "Where am I?! Someone get me down from here!!!"
"Oh, you're awake!" A man's voice reached her ears. "At last." Clover turned to see Tim Scam standing next to a giant metal ray gun. It was a metallic blue and had rings all around the end, which was a long needle like object.
"Yeah, what of it?" Clover spat.
Scam scowled at her, but then replaced it with a smirk. He threw his arms wide. "You wouldn't want to miss the show!" He point to his weapon. "You can be the first to watch the demise of you home." Though, I would rather watch it together with Sam, the inner depth of his heart told him. He shook his head and put his focus back on his task.
Clover gasped. "I thought you were only aiming for WOOHP H.Q!!" She thrashed in her bonds.
"But I thought it'd be more evil to aim for Beverly Hills instead." He snickered. That way, Sam can be at my side forever!
"I'll never let that happen!" Clover yelled. She tugged at her restraints, trying to free her arms.
"Quit fighting it." Scam told her. "That branch isn't as sturdy as you think it is."
Clover looked up and saw that it was an old branch. It looked almost dead. She quickly stopped moving, in hopes to avoid a quick drop to her death. She hung her head and sighed. "Please save me, you guys." She whispered. It was nothing but a mumble that couldn't be heard to Scam.
"When will you're friends come?" Scam asked as he jumped off a platform that was holding the ray gun up. "Where are they? Where's Alex… Sam?" He said with a soft voice.
"Don't say her name!" Alex retorted. Scam's eyes lit up.
"Hit a nerve, did I?" Scam chuckled. "Whose name, Alex's? Or, is it Sam?" He walked up to her until he was in front of her, but with the few feet of space between them.
"Shut up!" Clover snapped at him.
Scam smiled. "What happened between you and your friends?" Scam cooed his question out.
"Nothing happened between Sam and…" Clover quickly shut her mouth.
"Sam!? I didn't ask if it was her, but now you've got me interested." Said Scam in a light tone. He already knew that Sam and Clover would be in a fit now. He planted the evidence. He made it happen. Teenage girls were so easily tricked. How naïve they are. "Why are you upset with her? She's one of your best friends am I correct?"
"Not anymore!" Clover spat. She turned to face away from Scam.
"C'mon, she's not here right? You can tell me." Scam told her.
Clover looked at him uneasily. "Well… she stole something precious to me."
"What was it?" He asked.
"It was nothing, quit asking!" Clover yelled back at him.
"Was it jewelry?" Scam inquired. "Like a necklace with a heart and a pink crystal in crested in it?"
Clover almost couldn't breathe. How did he know that? "Wha…?" Clover looked at him with wide eyes. "H… how do you know that?" She stuttered.
"Heh heh heh, I truly am a genius." He walked away, arm crossed against his chest.
Clover watched him walk away; a tear was threatening her heart. "Does that mean… Sam was telling the truth?" She whispered to herself. She shut her eyes tight, keeping any water that might leak out. "Scam!" She yelled. He turned.
"What is it?"
"A… are you saying that… Sam is inno… innocent?" Clover spluttered. Her lips trembled. "I was mean to her for no reason?" She started to cry.
"Well, yeah." Scam sent her a smirk. He went over to the ray gun and started to turn a knob on its side. The air vibrated as the machine began to power up. I whining hum was around them. "Ha ha! Let's have some fun!"
Alex looked all around her. Every leaf was the same as every other leaf. The flowers were all the same. The air was constantly filled with moisture and the sound of birds. It was a great place for exploring; she could have spent her whole time just relaxing, if she wasn't in the middle of a mission.
"Alex…" Sam sat down. "Okay, we can rest now." She huffed.
"Finally!" Alex plopped herself down and was about to fall asleep against a fallen log when a strange sound rang through her ears. She jumped up. "Wha?"
Sam stood up and walked around the area. "Sounds like…" She looked through some short trees. She was soon through them with Alex behind her. "A Laser!" She gasped.
"And look," Alex pointed to the right. "There's Clover!"
Clover was hanging over a cliff. The rope that was tied to her was hung from a tree branch that didn't look very sturdy.
Sam narrowed her eyes in disgust over Scam. How could he be so… despicable!? That bastard, if he hurts Clover, I'll…
"Sam, take a look over there." Alex whispered in her ears.
Sam glanced around everywhere. Scam and Clover were at the edge of a mesa. It was flat all around, but higher round was scattered beside them. Small edges were higher and lower. And then Sam saw it. The tree that was supporting Clover was resting on a higher platform of the plateau. It was thickly covered with trees and bushes; great cover for them.
Scam heard some rustling behind him. Quite noisy for spies, he scowled. Bet they're trying to save their friend. They are so damn close knit! He thought about his past encounters with the girls. He was beaten each time. But that was because they were teaming up against him.
He looked at clover. Pathetic. Alone, she could do nothing to stop him. But with her friends, she could save the world. But she's tied up; she couldn't possibly do anything now. They can't save her; she's too far away from the ledge! He could handle two. Two would be fine. But what if they somehow manage to save her?
Tim grimaced and quickly turned to face Clover. He put his hand in his in his jacket pocket. He rid himself of the trench coat and now bore only normal clothes. A white shirt and black pants and jacket. He pulled out a gun and aimed it at Clover.
"I can't take the risk." He mumbled. Clover watched him with fearful eyes.
"D… don't do it!" Clover pleaded.
"Clover!!" A voice called out.
"What?" Clover looked around for the person. "Is that you Sam?" She cried. "I'm sorry Sam! Forgive me, please!"
"Damn! They're there already!?" His attention shifted to the higher platform to the right where the tree that was holding Clover stood. Two girls that were adorned with green and goldenrod appeared. One stood on a branch, the other beneath it.
"Scam! Stop this right now!" Sam yelled.
"No! No one is stopping me this time!" Scam shut one eye and aimed at Clover with the gun, watching her with his open eye. "Say goodbye."
Alex held the twister scissors in her hand. A button was protruding form the item below the screen. She pressed it and the top of the twister scissors flew towards the other side of the empty mesa top and attached itself to a risen cliff on the opposite them. "Here's goes!"
Scam pulled the trigger, but his aim was off. The bullet hit just atop Clover's head and through the rope, cutting it in half. Clover fell and screamed with all her life.
Alex had already jumped from the branch and swung her way towards Clover. She caught her in one big scoop and landed on the other side of Scam, near a wall of rock.
"Looks like you've lost, Scam!" Sam yelled from under the tree. All three of the girls watched him as he trembled, with his fists clutched tightly in balls.
"Not yet I haven't!" Scam turned towards the ray gun and began mashing on the buttons. It didn't matter what he pressed, as long as it activated the ray gun.
"Sam! Go stop him! He's aiming at Beverly Hills!" Clover shouted across the open space. Once Alex untied her she leapt forward and pointed towards Scam. "Stop him now!!"
"Beverly Hills…" Sam stood frozen for mere seconds. The wind flew past her and brought back reality. "He can't do that…"
"If you don't hurry up, he will!" Clover shouted back. "Now hurry up! You're the closest!"
Sam blinked. She then quickly jumped off the ridge and ran towards Scam. "Stop right there!" She jumped into the air and round-housed him in the face, sending Scam flying off the platform connected to the ray gun.
She stared at the panels and concentrated. How do I stop this? A deep hum was growing in the air. Sam shifted her attention at the cannon pointing towards the sky in a 30-degree angle. A light was starting to illuminate the metal around it. "Time's running out!" Sam turned back to the panel and started to press the button. "Got to stop this now or… ak!"
Sam's head was tilted back and a strain was at her head. Scam was behind her, pulling on her hair. "Get… away… from there!!!!" He roared. Scam wrapped his arm around her neck and tried to pull her off the platform.
Sam's knees went past the top of the railing on the platform. "Ak!" Gonna suffocate! She put her feet up on the railing and jumped into the air, releasing Scam's hold on her. She placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed him down as she descended to the ground. Scam fell on his back and winced as pain ran along his shoulders.
Scam growled and he brought a fist up to the side of Sam's face, knocking her to the ground. Sam leaned on her hands and knees and felt her face. "Ow." She said.
"Sam's hurt!" Alex shrieked. "We have to help her!" Both girls ran towards Sam's direction.
Scam was sending wave after wave of punches towards Sam, which she easily dodged. She back flipped away from his attack range and took a fighting stance. She saw Clover and Alex running towards her. "Go stop the machine!" She yelled at them. "I'll take care of Scam!" Clover nodded and pulled Alex towards the platform.
"Oh no you don't!" Scam turned sharply to head towards the machine when he fell flat on his face. "What?" He turned around. A heart shaped object was wrapped around his leg. Attached to it was a string that lead into Sam's hands.
"It's not over yet Scam!" Sam hollered. She tugged on the string. Scam let out a breath of air and dug into his jacket. He pulled out a large ring of silver red and yellow. He then threw it at Sam. It zoomed in the air and was heading right for Sam. She quickly turned to the right. "Yaah! A chakram!" The blade went past her and placed itself in the trunk of a tree with a loud thwack. Sam put a hand to her cheek. The weapon had nipped her flesh and a trail of blood was slowly trickling down her face.
"What do we do?" Alex asked Clover as she studied the panel. "What buttons do we press?"
"How should I know?" Clover quipped. "Sam's the technical one!" She began randomly pressing buttons.
The hum became louder and the cannon grew brighter.
"It's not working, Clover!" Alex yelled.
"…" Clover stared at the buttons in front of her. If only she could figure it out…
"Hold on." Alex stepped back and few paces. She then ran towards the machines, jumping up onto the railing, and drop kicked the panel. Electricity buzzed around them. Alex fell to the ground and Clover went to her side.
"Why'd you do that!?" She asked, blocking herself from the electricity.
"There was nothing else to do!" Alex explained.
"Well, let's get out of here!" Clover shouted as a boom was heard near the end of the machine. They ran five meters away from the machine before it exploded behind them, sending them sprawling to the floor.
Clover slowly picked herself up off the floor. "Ugh…" She winced and rubbed her forehead. Alex was rolling onto her back and shut her eyes.
"We saved Beverly Hills…" She sighed.
"Yeah, well, we need to save Sam now!" Clover said as she pointed to a high ridge to the right.
Sam and Scam had been fighting all the way until they reached the top of the ridge. They were starting to look tired. Scam sent in a cheap shot and Sam fell to the ground.
"C'mon! She needs us!" Clover yelled and pulled Alex to follow her. A rain was dust was upon them.
