-This is Chapter 5 of my TS story! And it is again my least reviewed story…that isn't on hiatus (I really want to work on Chapter 2 of "Conflicted Hearts", an "Oh! My Goddess" story, but without the source material for that story, I can't right now). But I'm not worried again since I know people read this story, and I am glad to update this story for them. Not to mention the joy it is for myself to write it (and really, if the readers don't review, they don't review. It isn't my place to 'demand' reviews like some people do. Though I admit, I love reading them, except maybe flames and so forth, but still…).
-Now, I have gone back, proofread and revised chapter 4. Sorry again for the grammar and spelling mistakes. Again, I am so eager to get these updates out that, I usually save the proofreading till later.
-And speaking of previous chapters, I now have to change the compowder to X-Powder since that is now the official name for that device as of Season 3. Personally, I prefer compowder to X-Powder, but since, that's what the spies are calling it now, and I want this story to be as up to date to the series as possible, I'm going to change it to X-Powder. Speaking of Season 3, while reading the spoilers of the three-part season finale (sounds very good IMO), it does give me hope that at least one character I'm using remains alive (who it is, well, you just have to find out. ;-) Preferably when the episode premieres). So, this story can possibly survive up to Season 4! As for G.L.A.D.I.S., I haven't figured out the fate of G.L.A.D.I.S. yet. I know that in the future episode "Evil G.L.A.D.I.S. Much?" (that might have aired in other countries?) she turns evil and probably has to be destroyed. But is she put back together again or not? I'm still searching for the answer on that one.
-Also, sorry about all this environmentalist stuff. Just that, well, this story needed a villain. And given that TS had a number of environmental villains, well, what's one more? I wanted to give the villain a reason to kill, and protecting the environment felt like a good one to me! Besides, it isn't as silly as making people addicted to coffee like that one episode, or making everyone a nerd. And at least it isn't the Big Butt Bandits from "Rave Master". Big Butt Bandits? Whatever respect I had for Rave Master…is gone now.
-Oh yeah, and I am a little disappointed in myself concerning Alex. I seem to push her off into the background while giving more screen time to Sam and Clover. Maybe it is because Sam and Clover are just easy to write about since their personalities are so obvious and different. Alex's, well, she seems to be in between the two. Fun and bubbly like Clover, but more down to Earth and semi-smart like Sam. I'm trying to get Alex more involved as I go along but, well, it is hard with her.
-And before I start, that thermo-optic camouflage that the Whip was wearing, as you probably have guessed it, I did get the idea from "Ghost in the Shell".
-Without further ado, on with the story!
Beverly Hills High –Auditorium5:35 PM PST
Scott was speaking at the Forest Defense Fund meeting. He was wearing a green jacket, jeans, and tennis shoes. Sam was completely focused on him. Well, his eyes at least. She seemed to be only interested in what he was saying, and only him. After Scott finished his speech about ways people can protect the environment, Sam forced herself to look away from him, and look at the group around her. Sam herself was wearing a white t-shirt, with a blue jacket over it, blue jeans, and brown boots. As she scanned the room, she noted the people dress and appearance. Most of them seemed to be nerds and neo-hippies. If they were involved in what has been happening, they certainly don't look like it. She also didn't see someone she expected to see, Mandy. 'Wonder what happened to her?' At most, there were 30 people here. Not a lot by her estimates, but certainly enough to cause trouble IF they were brainwashed into becoming on of those masked thugs.
After Scott got off the stage, Ryan got on the stage. Ryan was wearing a t-shirt with Save the Forest on it. He wore blue jeans and hiking boots. "As you all know, if we are going to provide change we must take action now!" The crowd cheered at his comments. Everyone cheered except Sam, who eyed him with suspicion. "We will start by protesting the standard oil building next week! We will be blocking the intersection in front of the building."
"But isn't that…wrong?" Someone in the audience asked.
Ryan sweat dropped. "Of course it is…" Ryan stopped himself before he said anything stupid. "Well, it isn't wrong if your cause is right. And this is a right cause, right?" The crowd cheered again. "Good! We have a week to prepare! So, I adjourn the first meeting of the Forest Defense Fund!"
Everyone cheered for the last time, and started walking out. Sam caught up to Scott. "Great speech Scott!"
"Thanks!" Scott smiled at Sam. "I hope you see that we're not those wacko that caused all those horrible things!"
"Yeah!" Sam enthusiastically replied. "It was very reassuring hearing all the speeches and the goals of this wonderful group!" 'Though to be honest, they do sound a little nutty…'
Scott then looked away, slightly embarrassed. "By the way, you wouldn't mind, a cup of coffee later?"
"I'd like to Scott." Sam smiled back at him. "But, well, I might be traveling with my friends, Clover and Alex."
"Oh." Scott looked disappointed. "Well, I guess I'll talk to you later then."
"Yeah." Sam also looked away a bit. Her X-Powder started sounding. "Oh, that must be them! I guess, so see ya later!"
"Later!" Scott waved goodbye to Sam. "Oh, and have fun in Germany!"
"I will!" Sam waved back. Then something Scott said snapped Sam backed into reality. "Wait, what makes you think I'm going to Germany?"
"Uh…" Scott looked embarrassed. "I…overheard you saying that you were going to Germany this weekend outside my house. Sorry."
"Did you happen to hear anything else?" Sam was now internally panicking. 'What else could Scott have heard?'
"Well, besides that, all I've heard was you, talking to this Jerry guy about a teddy bear and how you were teasing him about it." Scott scratched the back of the head. "I'm sorry for um…"
"Yeah! Jerry…is an old friend of mine. Emphasis on old hehehe!" 'Hopefully that's ALL he heard.' Sam looked at Scott with suspicion before smiling again. "Well, I guess I shouldn't be talking so loudly next time! Well, see ya Scott!"
"Bye!" Scott left the area. "And tell this Jerry person that's it's okay to like teddy bears."
"Will do! Heh." After Scott was away, Sam took out her X-Powder and opened it.
"Took you long enough to answer." Jerry looked at Sam with curiosity. "Something bothering you Sam?"
"No! Well…" Sam looked worried. "I do have one more name to run across you…" Sam dropped her head. "Scott Greenwood. See if there is anything suspicious about him."
"Scott…something special about him?" Jerry raised an eyebrow at Sam.
'Yeah. He's just the perfect guy, who could also be another criminal.' Sam lowered her heard. "Um, not really. Just that, he's Ryan's friend. They are also in the same group so…"
"I get your drift. I'll check up on him too." Jerry eyes widened as he remembered what he was supposed to be talking to Sam about. "Oh, speaking of Ryan, I do have information on him."
"What did you find Jerr?" Sam looked at Jerry with interest.
"For the most part…nothing." Jerry said with a straight face. "He transferred to Beverly Hill High a few weeks ago. He has no criminal record, hasn't been in contact with anyone suspicious, nothing."
Sam was a little stunned by this, and at the same time, hopeful. 'Maybe I was just being a little too paranoid.'
"However…" Jerry continued. "I became very suspicious with this report since, it was TOO perfect. The more I dug into the matter, the more problems I began to see with his file."
'Guess my suspicions where right after all.' Whatever hope Sam had that Ryan might actually be a decent guy and this group was really a benevolent organization that they claim to be, was shattered.
"First, he apparently lives alone. This alone means nothing since he could've been one of those rebellious teens who strike out on their own at an early age. However, when I searched for his parents, I was surprised that I found that he had none. Not even a death certificate if his parents were dead of course." Jerry rubbed his chin. "Also, the school that he transferred from before Beverly Hill High doesn't exist."
"This guy has more holes in his report then Swiss cheese." Sam frowned. 'And that means that I can't have a latte with Scott later…WAIT! We don't know if he is a part of this yet! I'll have to wait till Jerry has info on him. But he just could be…' "Anything else?"
"Well, that's it with Ryan." Jerry scratched the back of his head with a pen. "Now, on to Vandenburg Chemicals. Well, other then being an obvious target with whomever we are dealing with, there is another interesting fact about Vandenburg." Jerry grinned. "A former employee by the name of Doctor Root. He was a bio-geneticist that was busted by WOOHP agents for trying to alter marijuana plants to become more addicting. He originally planned to have the entire world addicted to these his marijuana and sell them at a high profit. The company subsequently fired him."
"Doctor Root huh?" Sam liked the sound of this. "Bio-geneticist, chemical plant, and fast growing killing plants. All fits to me! And now, out for a little revenge maybe? Could he be the masked villain that everyone is talking about?"
"Certainly worth checking out that's for sure." Jerry checked his watch. "And if I'm not mistaken, you girls should be heading to Germany soon."
"I'll contact Alex and Clover. They should be shopping right now." Sam took out her cell phone.
Jerry was confused. "Shopping? But with the X-Powder, they don't have to bring a lot…"
"But Jerry! Shopping is so much more fun! And besides, we can never have enough clothes!" Sam looked at Jerry frown. "It's a girl thing." She closed the X-Powder. She used her cell phone to call Alex.
Beverly Hills Shopping Mall6:10 PM PST
"Do these pants make my butt look too big?" Clover was modeling a few pants at GAP. She was wearing a red shirt along with a beige skirt. Well, beige skirt if she wasn't wearing red pants right now at the GAP. She was also wearing black-strapped shoes.
Alex shook her head. She was drinking a latte. "Nope! But…those pants so do not go with your red shirt. Maybe another outfit…"
Clover looked at her reflection in the mirror. "You have a point Alex. I need to maximize my style and these pants are so not doing it. I guess I have to keep searching to attract all those cute boys here!" Clover goes into the changing room.
Alex sighed. "You know, you probably dated most of them." She loved shopping as much as Clover, but she had to admit, Clover could get a little crazy. As for the boys, well, from the ones Alex has seen… "Speaking of the boys, too bad none of them are buff and sexy."
"You're still chasing after buff hunky men." Clover exited the changing room. "Don't you remember the last time?"
"Well, not all the hunky boys are like him." Alex has hearts in her eyes. "Besides, I always loved the feel of a strong hard body." Clover looked at Alex funny. "Above the, um…"
Clover grinned. "Speaking of strong bods, wonder if Sam found anything useful at the tree hugger meeting today."
"That reminds me, we should be heading to Germany soon!" Alex looked at her watch. "Jerry actually promised us a plane this time!" Alex's cell phone started ringing. Alex answered it. "Oh hi Sam!" There was a pause. "Mandy? Hehehe. Well…"
Starbucks"I can't believe I have to work extra hours for that stupid chair." Mandy was serving drinks. "And above all, why was that chair so expensive? We're being ripped off as taxpayers!" Mandy fumed.
"Stop stalling and work!" Her manager screamed at her.
"Yes sir." Mandy sighed.
Beverly Hills Shopping Malls"Yeah, that was pretty funny!" Alex giggled. There was another pause before Alex spoke again. "Us? Oh, we're done shopping!"
"We are not!" Clover fumed. "What am I going to wear when we get back?"
"Clover just said great! I guess we'll meet you at the mall!" Alex happily replied. However, Alex frowned when she heard Sam's response. "What do you mean you're not picking us up at the mall? How are we going to…"
The ground underneath Clover and Alex opened up. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Berlin – Germany9:24 AM GMT
"Hi, we're reporters from the Daily Spiegel!" Alex, wearing a brown jacket and some jeans, was talking to the CEO of Vandenburg Chemicals in a fake German accent. "We are very interested in your opinion about the recent events that happened in America and Brazil."
Clover was wearing a brown vest over a red shirt plus brown cargo pants. Not exactly what Clover would wear on a daily basis, which is why it was the perfect outfit for her! Clover held a WOOHP X-Ray camera and scanned the room for any clues. She was particularly interested in what was behind the CEO's wall.
"Excuse me miss?" The CEO said with a German accent. The CEO was a middle-aged man, wearing a typical three-piece suit. "If you don't mind, please keep the pictures to a minimum."
"As if!" Clover said to herself when Alex and Sam glared at her. "I mean, jya! I'm so sorry. I'm just scouting around for the perfect cover picture!"
The CEO looked at Clover suspiciously for a moment, before returning to his…stern self. "Well, I am always glad to talk to the media! Especially when we are trying to improve our image to the environmental conscious people. And speaking of them, I believe that those incidents in America and Brazil will not effect us."
Sam looked at the CEO with suspicion. She was wearing a green shirt with a red stripe in the middle. "That's very great of your company! But what makes you think these people would be looking at your company in a better light?"
The CEO pushed a button behind him. "The only chemicals we work with are all bio-friendly! If their goal was to punish all the companies that destroy the Earth's environment, that doesn't include us now."
"But aren't you…" Alex accidentally said without her phony German accent. The CEO again looked at them suspiciously. She quickly corrected herself. "Aren't you afraid that they might come at you anyways?"
"Oh, I'm confident that we're not going to have any problems." The CEO smirked.
-Later…
Some German Restaurant12:20 PM GMT
"That guy was just creepy!" Alex was eating a French fry. "For a guy who might become plant food, he certainly doesn't seem too worried about it."
"I know!" Clover frowned with irritation. "Maybe we should let this, Doctor Root guy or that masked idiot turn him into fertilizer."
"He seems very sure of himself that he won't be targeted." Sam rubbed her chin. "He's hiding something." She turned to Clover. "Clover, got any great pictures?"
"No. I tried taking a picture of this one woman wearing this awesome outfit, but she was going way to fast…" Clover replied.
Sam face faulted. "Not that Clover, his office! Did any of the pictures you took yield any clues?"
Clover nodded, then shook her head. "Other then the fact that he has this freaky lab behind him, I can't say that I have." Clover handed Sam some of the pictures. "We could check out the lab, that might yield some clues."
"Well, we still have to keep a look for those masked weirdo. Not to mention that Ryan guy…" Alex took a sip from her smoothie.
Sam flipped through the photos Clover took. While the chemical lab behind the CEO was pretty intriguing, it wasn't until she noticed a man in one of the pictures did things get interesting. "Hey wait a second, who's that guy?"
Alex looked at the photo. "Let's use the X-Powder to blow up and analyze the face." Alex took out her X-Powder and did just that. "Hey! Isn't that the Doctor Root guy Jerry was talking about?"
Sam looked at the image on the X-Powder. "Yeah. What's he doing there?"
Clover squinted at the image. "A little sneak attack on the CEO guy?"
"Somehow, I don't think so." Sam rubbed her chin. "Let's check it out!"
Hotel Next to Vandenburg Chemicals Building7: 43 PM GMT
The three girls were all wearing their sneaking suits. Alex looked through telescope that was pointed towards Vandenburg Chemicals. So far, nothing unusual was happening. She yawned. "Maybe they did decide to skip this place after all."
"We wasted all this time that we could've used to look for German hotties!" Clover collapsed on the bed.
Sam glared at Clover before sighing. "I guess you're right. Maybe this has all been a wash."
Alex looked at Sam for a moment, before returning her attention to the building. That's when she sees something very familiar. "Hey guys! Ryan sighting." Alex looked at him more. "Too bad he is probably a bad guy since he's not that bad looking."
Clover and Sam both stared at the ground. They see Ryan enter the building.
"I wish more boys looked liked him. And, um…also were good and not crazy tree huggers." Clover sighed.
"Looks like we're on to something!" Sam looked at the window. "I'm going to check it out first. You two enter in the front. I'm going to come in from the top."
"Making sure Scott isn't there?" Clover grinned.
"Eh…" Sam blushed.
"Are you okay Sam? You're redder then Clover's sneaking suit?" Alex blinked in confusion.
Clover giggled.
Sam fumed. "I'm just fine! Now if you excuse me…" She opened the window. With her expandable bungee belt, she shot the heart shaped magnet to the Vandenburg building's ledge, and rose herself up to the top floor. She crawled on the glass ceiling as Ryan entered the building.
Vandenburg Chemical BuildingClover and Alex sneaked up to the front door.
Alex looked at where they were. They were standing on both sides of the front door. Which come to think of it… "Um, Clover, are you sure this is a good idea?"
Clover looked at the front door. "Good point. Since when is it ever a good idea to go through the front door while spying? I bet you if we entered right now, we would all caught."
Alex nodded in agreement. "Although they probably will tell us their whole plan when we are caught before they try to kill us, like, almost…every other time, let's search for another way in instead!"
"Sounds good to me!" Clover hugged the wall as she looked for an alternate entrance.
-On top of the roof…
"Well, well, well…look what the cat dragged in." Sam looked down and saw Ryan, who was standing next to Doctor Root, as well as the mysterious masked man in the top hat, were all in front of the CEO. Sam put the listening device on the window.
"We've produced enough of the spores to last a lifetime Phantom." CEO proudly smiled at him. "Nothing is going to stop us!"
"Perfect!" Phantom said in a highly digitized voice.
Realization hit Sam. "They're not here to take down this company. They're working with this company!" Suddenly, she hears her X-Powder ring. She took it out and opened it. "I'm a little busy Jerry."
Jerry looked back with an apologetic expression. "Sorry Sam but, I did find information about Scott. And the good news, everything checked out!"
Sam was internally elated, but she tried to keep cool, expecting Jerry to say something more. "But?"
"No but." Jerry grinned. "Everything seems to check out. The schools he been to, friends, family, and so on, nothing out of the ordinary except his connections to Ryan." Jerry frowned slightly though. "However, his concern for the environment seems a little extreme in my opinion…"
"Oh that! I can help him get over that!" Sam sweat dropped as she said this. "Oh, um…I mean…" Sam then noticed something to the side. "Wait what do we have here?"
Inside Vandenburg Building – Top Floor"You know if you want my opinion…" The CEO stared at Phantom. "Phantom of Nature? You really need to work on coming up with better names."
"I agree." Ryan grinned. "I mean, I think you are a great leader, but Phantom of Nature?"
Phantom sweat dropped. "I didn't ask for your opinion…" He sighed in his digitized voice. "Whatever. It's the name I choose and I'm sticking to it!" He turned to Ryan. "Speaking of bad names, Forest Defense Fund? I thought we agreed we were expanding?"
"Sorry boss. Spur of the moment thing." Ryan lowered his head in shame.
"Whatever. As long as…" Phantom hears something to the side. "What do we have here?"
Outside Vandenburg Building"There in the loading dock!" Clover pointed to the door. "Our ticket in."
Alex sees a few guards standing around. "I think we can handle them."
Clover's X-Powder started to ring. "What'sup Sam?"
"Guys!" Sam panicked. "The masked men in a top hot, Doctor Root, and Ryan aren't the only ones here! The Whip is here!"
"The Whip?" Alex and Clover yelled back.
"Yes! And if you don't hurry…" The image started to jolt, and static appeared before the image went out.
"Sam! Come back Sam!" Alex yelled at her X-Powder. "We have to hurry! We must save…" She looked around her.
"Okay…maybe it wasn't such a good idea to yell all that out." Clover replied as armed guards surrounded them.
Inside Vandenburg Building – Top Floor
The door next to the CEO's office shattered. The Whip, wearing her black mask, arm guards, leather corset, black leather pants and boots, plus her trademark whip, daggers, and shuriken, walks towards the CEO, Ryan, Phantom, and Doctor Root. She throws two guards at them. "I believe these are yours." Both guards have badly twisted arms and legs. They were shaking in pain.
"The Whip I suppose." Phantom spoke in his digitized voice.
The CEO eyes widen in fear. He backed up and tried running towards the exit.
"Going some where?" The Whip threw a number of shuriken at the CEO. The shuriken stick the CEO to the wall. "Now for you…" She stared at Phantom. "I don't believe we have met."
The Phantom grinned under his mask. "It is nice to meet you. You can call me the Phantom of Nature!"
The Whip eyes widen in amusement. She tried to contain her laughter. "Phantom of Nature…hehehe." She held her side, as she could no longer contain her laughing. "BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! What kind of stupid name is that?"
The Phantom sweat dropped. "It's a good name!"
"See? What did I tell you?" Ryan elbowed the Phantom.
"SILENCE!" Phantom knocked Ryan back.
The Whip stopped laughing for a while. "Enough chitchat! Time to end this now!" The Whip took out her whip cracked it in front of them.
"Don't be so cocky little girl." Phantom took a step forward. "I have been mighty impressed with your skills. But they will not be enough to stop me."
"We'll see about that." The Whip again cracked the whip at Phantom; the spike at the end of her whip slices a piece of Phantom before he disappeared from her view. Before she knew it, he was in the air with his foot targeting right at her. The Whip rolled out of the way and took out two daggers.
With this Whip person distracted, Ryan saw this as a needed opportunity to get away. "Come dad! He can take care of himself!" Ryan led Doctor Root a hidden door that led to the roof. On the roof was a waiting helicopter. That helicopter was original meant for the CEO.
The Whip slashes at Phantom. However, each attack was blocked by the Phantom. He too, seemed to wear arm guards. The Phantom found an opening and kicked The Whip on the side.
Bottom Floor"That should take care of them for a while." Alex closed the dumpster full of baddies.
"Now we have to get to the top floor! Sam's in trouble!" Clover ran to the elevator and pressed it. "Come on! Don't tell me it isn't just the movies where the elevator doesn't show up!"
Alex looked at her backpack. "Why not just use our jet back packs to get to the top floor?"
"Because…" Clover gave Alex a blank expression as she realized that her plan wasn't that bad. Still... "Well, we already spent all this time down here. Might as well go up this way."
Alex sweat dropped.
The elevator finally arrived. Clover was the first to enter. "Time to get up there and kick that freak's butt!" Alex entered after her. She pushed the top floor button. The doors closed as the elevator began its assent. Clover and Alex frowned at the speed. "Okay, maybe the jet pack backpack thing was a better idea."
"Great going Clover." Alex sighed.
Clover looked up. A smile formed on her face. She pushed the emergency stop button.
Alex was confused with this move. "Clover! What are you doing? Are you just going to leave Sam up there?"
Clover pushed the top panel open. "Of course not Alex! But I found a faster way to the top!"
Alex frowned with resignation. "I have a bad feeling about this." She followed Clover to the top of the elevator.
"Okay! You know that Matrix movie where they needed to get to the roof?" Clover grinned.
Alex sighed. "I'll hold on tightly."
"Goody!" Clover held on tightly to the elevator, took out her boomerang buzz saw beret, and sliced the cable. "This should do the TRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!" Clover and Alex were sent flying to the top floor.
Inside Vandenburg Bulding – Top Floor"We seem to be equals." The Whip grinned. "I don't like equals." The Whip kicked the Phantom in the groin. To her surprise, he didn't seem to feel any groin.
"That was a cheap move." The Phantom kicked the Whip in the head.
The Whip back flipped away from the Phantom. She prepared to strike again. "Some man you are. Wearing a cup!"
Phantom shook his head in an amusement. "Did you really think I wouldn't have prepared for everything?"
POW! The doors behind the Whip were busted open.
"More WOOHP agents!" The Whip grinned at them.
"Hey! It's that freaky SM woman!" Clover pointed at her.
The Whip sweat dropped. "I'm not into…"
"And that bad looking top hat guy!" Alex pointed at the Phantom.
The Phantom grinned. "So, we finally meet." He bowed his head. "I am, PHANTOM OF NATURE!"
Clover and Alex stood there and blinked at the Phantom, before both of them busted out laughing. "Phantom of Nature? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Phantom sweat dropped.
"And I thought the Whip was bad." Clover was holding her knees as her stomach started to hurt from all the laughing. "But the Phantom of Nature?"
"Hahahahaha!" Alex wiped a tear away. "Man you need a better agent!"
Whip grinned. "I'm not the only one who thought your name was stupid!"
Phantom whacked himself in the head. "It is a good name!" He sighed as Clover and Alex continued laughing. "Very well…" He snapped his fingers. More guards surrounded them. This immediately stopped Clover and Alex's laughing. "While I like to stay and fight…I have better things to do." He started running towards the window.
"He's getting away!" The Whip tried to follow him, but a group of guards blocked her path.
"Well, we got done with a group of guards down there. Guess I shouldn't worry about a few more!" Clover got into a fighting stance.
Alex followed.
The Whip narrowed her eyes in frustration. "Get out of the way!" She took out a short sword, and decapitated the first guard. The guard's expression was frozen in pure horror as his head fell to the ground.
Clover and Alex stood there with their mouths wide open. The other guards did the same as they saw one of their own, dead.
The guards that were blocking the Whip all stood in fear.
"Prepare to join your friend!" The Whip took out her whip and swung it at the group. The top spiky part of the whip grabbed a hold of a few guards, and ripped their flesh. She approached another group and shattered their limbs.
The Phantom crashed through the window and caught a hold of the ladder. He climbed up the ladder and into the cockpit of the helicopter. As they were speeding away in the helicopter, his thoughts rested on one woman. "This is going to be more fun then I thought."
Clover and Alex just stood there in the carnage. Alex's eyes started to twitch.
"DAMN IT!" The Whip slammed her fist at a column. "I have to go you to. I'll let WOOHP clean up from here. Say hi to Jerry for me!" The Whip waved goodbye to Clover and Alex and jumped away.
Clover and Alex continue to just stand there as the room was filled with groins of fallen guards and severed limbs.
"Don't tell me I just saw that." Clover stood there wide-eyed.
"Is she really a friend?" Alex right eye continued to twitch.
"Friend?" Clover was snapped to the side door. "Sam!"
Alex snapped to the same door as Clover voice hit her ears. "Sam!"
Both ran in and saw a tied up Sam. Sam was struggling to break free of her bonds.
"Hey guys! Glad you could all make it." Sam weakly smiled as blood tricked down her forehead.
"Oh no!" Alex screamed in fear. "You're hurt. Did that psycho woman do that to you?"
"The Whip?" Sam looked at Alex and shook her head in embarrassment. "Um, not really. While I tried to break free of her bonds, I…sort of hit my head on the desk. Heheh."
"Well, we're glad that you're okay Sam!" Clover used her laser lipstick to cut Sam's restraints. "That Whip person really needs to see a shrink! I mean, look what she did to the guards!"
"Speaking of needing a shrink, what happened to that Phantom guy?" Sam rubbed her hands as she slowly got up.
"Him? That weirdo with a stupid name got away too." Clover looked back at the office room. "Sam, better prepare yourself."
"What do you mean Clover?" After she picked up her X-Powder, she entered the office. She contacted Jerry as she entered. "Jerry! Send your…" She stared at the room in shock. "Whoa."
Alex looked at the room again for a moment, before she looked away. "This was all the Whip's doing."
"Yeah okay…" Clover began to speak again. "She really needs a little anger management."
"At least she kept the CEO alive and well." Sam went up to him. He was shaking in fear. "Guess you can say he was one of the lucky ones." She again turned to the severely injured and dead guards.
A WOOHP helicopter began hovering in front of the shattered window. WOOHP agents entered and took the surviving guards and placed them on stretchers. Jerry looked inside. "Looks like the handiwork of The Whip I presume."
"I guess we need to keep an eye on her too." Alex raised her nose in the air as she tried not to look at the guards.
Clover frowned until she looked at the shuriken on the wall. "Hey wait a second…" She looked closer at the shuriken. They had a flower decoration on them. "These aren't just any ninja stars, their WOOHP ninja stars!"
"Really?" Sam looked at them again. "You're right. They are WOOHP ninja stars."
"This could be bad." Clover said gloomily.
-End of Chapter 5
Have you noticed I'm not good with names? Hehehe. And yes, it is another long chapter. Seems the chapters just keep getting longer as we go along. All well. I hope to keep the chapters short but, well, they are not turning out that way. Oh, and I am supposed to be studying for, two midterms, and three quizzes this week. Um, oops? Well, don't worry about me. I think I can make it! Especially now with this chapter away and done with. Anyways, this chapter is out of the way. On to the next one!
Well, before that, I will probably work on my "Two Birds…Part 2" update. Then my Eva fic. Or maybe my TT:SAC fic. Well, I am now glad that I got DLA out of the way.
Next Chapter, what will happen to the protest the Forest Defense Fund organize? Who is the Phantom? Will the Whip strike again? And are Scott and Sam becoming an item? What about Mandy? And is that Brittany I see? Until then, later!
OMAKE!
Clover: Okay! When I signed up, I didn't intend to have flying body parts flying around! And who is this Whip person?
Alex: Well, you've seen Sim's other work, what did you expect?
Sam: Yeah! Besides, you should've seen some of the other TS stories here.
Clover: (thinking about a few) Don't remind me.
Alex: Maybe we can ask Sim to tone it down a bit?
Sam: Sure thing! Hey Sim…(enters my trailer. Quickly exits it). Umm…
Clover: What Sam? He wasn't naked in there was he? (Clover things about that) Ew! Nasty!
Sam: Not exactly. But…
Sailor Mercury: (exits SimmyC's trailer) Bye SimmyC!
Spies: (staring at Sailor Mercury)
SimmyC: Bye Amy! (Sees girls) Sup?
Spies: Uhhhhhhh…
