1Chapter Eight
Fight for Your Life
Mimi woke up feeling a 100 better than yesterday. She hopped out of bed and put on a teal colored shirt with a dark teal flower on the front, blue jeans, and black boots. She flipped her hair, as usual, and smiled at herself in her mirror. She grabbed her book bag and skipped out of her room.
"Well someone is in a happy mood today,"
Bruce said as he looked over his cards. Mimi was surprised to see
that Mark, Rachel, and Angel where all sitting on the couch watching
TV.
"Go fish," Bruce said as he rearranged his
cards.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GO FISH! I SAW A STINKIN' TWO IN
YOUR HAND AND YOU KNOW IT!" Bit yelled as he stood up. Bruce
smiled up at him and handed Bit a faced down card. Bit stuck his
tongue at him.
"Go fish my foot," Bit mumbled as he
took the card. He flipped it over and smiled.
"HA! I BEAT
YOUR BUTT! SEE HERE! A TWO! YOU HANDED ME A WINNING CARD! AND YOU
CALL YOUR SELF A CHAMPION AT GO FISH!" Bit said as he danced
around the card table.
"Come on kids, you don't want to be
late for school, Mimi your coming too," Bruce said getting up
and grabbing his jacket.
"Ha, you can't even admitted that I
whooped your butt. Come on! You're not leaving 'till you admit that I
whipped your butt," Bit said as he moved in front of
Bruce.
"Goodbye Bit. Come on kids, let's go," Bruce said
as he stepped around Bit.
Mark sat in his seat worried.
Thoughts where squirming in his mind. Mimi looked at him confused.
She thought that it was something to do with school, but she didn't
know what. Mimi sat back in her seat and let the wind fly against her
face. Bruce pulled up to the front of Panther Hill Elementary school
and put the jeep in neutral.
"Ok kids, see you guys at
3:30,"
"Rachel, why is your cousin taking us to school,"
Mimi said as she closed the car door.
"I told him I hated the
bus, which I do, so he said he would take us to school," Rachel
said as she waved her cousin good-bye.
"Well, hello Mimi! It's good to see you again. We missed you," Mrs. Ryosan said as she beamed a smile at Mimi. She smiled back and took her seat next to Rachel. Denise sneered over to Mimi and barked, "I didn't miss you,"
"I didn't miss you either, spoiled little brat," Mimi spat as she stuck out her tongue. Denise's face tightened up, and then she turned around in her seat furiously. Rachel giggled and unloaded her book bag.
"What's the statues on the blue blade liger?"
Zuni said as she looked over her brother's shoulder.
"Well
all I got is that it can reach speeds over 190 mph and its blades can
slice through diamonds. It also has moves like strike laser claw and
its teeth can bust a zoids computer. It also has laser guns, but
there not all that good," Roy said as he showed 3D images of
Mimi's blade liger on his laptop. Mark stood off to the side, having
second thoughts of why he joined this group in the first place. He
didn't want to steal zoids, he just wanted to learn how to improve
them.
"Well, at least one thing about it is good," Zuni
said as she rubbed her forehead, "That blade liger is the best
one I have ever seen,"
"Well the only way to get the
liger zero is..."
"I know, two minds think alike,"
Zuni said with an evil smile.
"Hey Mark, You still comin'
with the shrimp or are you backing out," Austin Stocks said as
he pounded his fist into his hand. Austin Stocks was a fifth grader
that had failed the fifth grade three times, so he out beat anyone in
a fight.
"Come on, give her a break. Why do you want to take
it out on Mimi any way," Mark said as his fists tighten.
"My
team is battling them tomorrow, I don't want the kid in the battle. I
don't want to end up like you who can't do anything but whine and cry
in his room," Mark jumped at him, but Austin's friends held him
back. Austin smiled evil like at him and said, "Be there, or I'm
gonna hurt the kid more,"
"Why is Mark so tense
these days?" Mimi asked Rachel as she painted the color green on
her white rose picture.
"I have no clue. I may live with him,
but I don't know what he thinks in his head," Rachel said as she
added black to her "super hero's costume".
"Whose
that supposed to be?"
"Batman, but I couldn't draw the
bat sign on the front of his costume, so I drew a kitty instead,"
The bell went off in the hallway and all the students in Mrs.
Ryosan's class stared at her.
"Recess, have a good one," Mrs. Ryosan said as she opened the door. The kindergartners rushed out the door. Mimi and Rachel walked over to the swing set and sat down. Mark walked over slowly, looking back behind him every now and then. He swallowed and put on what looked like a smile, "Um Mimi, can you come over here with me?" Mimi blinked in confusion. She nodded and walked with Mark behind the school, where the teachers didn't watch. Standing in the corner was Austin and his gang. Austin smiled and punched his fist into his hand. He walked up to Mimi and pulled her up by her shirt.
"So, your Mimi
Cloud, Bit Cloud's little sister," Austin said as his hand moved
quickly to Mimi's shirt to her neck. Mimi couldn't talk, nor breathe.
She tried to move Austin's fingers, but they where to tight around
her neck. Mark was held back by Austin's gang, trying with all his
might to be let free.
"My team is up against you tomorrow,
and I don't want to be beaten by a stupid little seven year old,"
Austin said as he lifted Mimi higher. Mimi's eyes began to glow a
reddish color and a weird sign appeared on her forehead. Austin's
hand that held Mimi grew hot and he threw Mimi on he ground. With the
other he punched her in the stomach and the eye. Mimi with her eyes
still glowing screamed with all her might and curled up into a ball.
Austin picked Mimi up and threw her at the wall. As Mimi bounced of
the wall and landed on the ground, a load bang was followed behind
Austin and his gang. Mark stood next to Brad and Bruce, who put his
gun in its holder. Brad picked up Austin by the shirt and punched him
in the face.
"NOW WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HURT A SEVEN YEAR OLD! NO ONE DID!" Brad said as he swung another one at the 5th grader. Mimi laid dead like on the ground. Mark knew as he sat beside her that she had blacked out.
"I'm sorry, Mimi. But every thing is going to be ok Mimi...it's going to be..." Mark said crying as he clenched up holding the wound that was created at his side. Mark blacked out over top of Mimi.
