Crimson Blade

Chapter 4:

And they both walked inside, revealing an extremely long glass table with three men on each side and a man at the end of the table. And his deep voice boomed through the large room… "Boo Ya!"

Richard and Kori smirked. "Well alright! I take it that you finished the mission? Awesome!" Several people on the council shook their heads in response to hearing him. Couldn't he ACT like he took this seriously?

Richard and Kori Both nodded. "We also ran into an old friend," Kori said, looking at Richard. She Turned back towards Victor Stone, head commander of the JCAA. "Xavier Red," Richard finished. Victor's expression changed from excited and amused to grim and angry. "We'll get him… eventually. But now, I know where Slade is headed next. Both of you could go. Do you accept the mission?" He asked. He was desperate, for they were his best agents, so he added, "I could really use you guys…" Richard nodded because of his hate for Slade. Kori nodded because of Victor being her first friend since joining the JCAA… besides Garfield.

Victor smiled. "Well alright. You two be careful out there! We'll send you out tomorrow at 07:00. Be ready. Here are the coordinates." He got a paper airplane and threw it over to them. It came slightly to Richard's side, so he caught it. Kori smiled and wondered how the council let him be the head in command… he was a big goofball…

Richard nodded and said, "Thanks, sir. We'll be ready." Kori nodded and they walked out of the briefing room. (A/N: again, didn't know what it was called…) They met Garfield and Raven outside, who were talking about each other. Well, Garfield was telling a joke, and Raven was telling him how stupid it was. Yet, Garfield kept trying to make her laugh.

Kori smiled at the sight. He was always trying to make someone laugh or to cheer them up. "Hey Garfield!" Garfield turned around and immediately brightened when he saw Kori. "Hey, Kor! Hey, wanna go grab some pizza?" Kori smiled. "Sure, Gar!" She waved at Richard and Raven. "See you tomorrow, Richard! Raven." She smiled at Raven, and Raven smiled back. Richard stared at Raven in shock as she smiled and waved back at Kori. Kori got onto her cycle and Garfield got into his convertible silver Corvette and they drove away.

Richard turned to Raven. "Did you just… smile? Who ARE you?" He asked in a bewildered state. Raven looked at her friend. "Well, I think she is nice… and I don't think she would like you if she didn't like me…" She said grinning. "What? Raven! We just met!" Richard yelled, getting annoyed. "Yeah, same with that girl you saw last month, and the month before, and the month before, and the month before, and-" Raven was interrupted by Richard. "OK! I get it. She just doesn't… seem to be that way." Raven lifted an eyebrow. "What? Richard! You just met!" she mocked him. Richard rolled his eyes. "Well, you don't know what she is like, either," he said. "How do YOU know? I have the girls' locker room!" she said back. "So… do you know what she is like?" he asked. "Just that she had an abusive father and that every guy is after her… and that pretty much all the girls hate her out of jealousy. She's been in a FEW relationships… I forgot who with though… I heard that she once had a fling with Xavier Red. So I would say that you have a chance with ther… he has been with a few guys. Probably not NEARLY as much as you," she teased. Richard grinned.

MEANWHILE WITH KORI AND GARFIELD

Kori and Garfield sat at a table outside on the balcony of their favorite pizza place. Garfield had ordered a vegetarian pizza and Kori had gotten a combination pizza. "Soo… what was that you said about 'meeting Richard tomorrow' huh?" Garfield asked. "Well, we are going on a Slade mission. I hope we can just get him and get it over with." She said. Garfield nodded. "So… do you like him?" He asked, smirking. "Who?" Kori asked, a bit confused. "You know… Richard?" He said, wiggling his eyebrows. Kori blushed. "Well, I… he's… nice…" Garfield smirked. "I knew it! Besides, you two make a GREAT couple. There's no way he COULDN'T like you… You are PERFECT for him!" he told her. Garfield finished his pizza at the same time Kori did. "Hey, Kor, you wanna come over?" he asked. "Sure," She replied. They paid for the food and walked over to their vehicles.

When they got to Garfield's house, Garfield immediately plugged in the gamestation. "Wanna play Megamonkeys 3?" He asked. "Hmm… I have not played that game before, do you mind showing me?" she asked. Garfield grinned evilly. "Sure, but I won't go easy on you just cause you never played the game before," he replied. Kori shrugged and sat on his couch next to him. "You're toast, dude." He said to her and started explaining the buttons and what they do.

TWENTY MINUTES LATER

"Dude! You haven't even died yet!" Garfield said. "It took me a MONTH to do that!" Kori finally beat the 20th level. In about thirty minutes, Kori was on level 56, and Garfield was in the corner crying. "Man, you beat me score, and NOW you are on a level so high that I didn't even KNOW that the game had that level." He whined. "I wish to stop now, please. How do you stop?" Kori asked. Garfield stood up and unplugged the gamestation, without showing Kori how to save the game. Kori's mouth dropped open as Garfield waved the plug in her face. She picked up a pillow and hit Garfield so hard he was sent flying into a wall. "Garfield Logan you sore looser!" She yelled as he playfully hit him over the head repeatedly. Garfield laughed as he grabbed a pillow off his bed. They circled each other, searching for a weak spot. They both charged, starting the fearsome battle.

Kori and Garfield looked over the feather-covered battlefield. They both sighed and started cleaning it up. When they were finished, Kori was laying on Garfield's bed and Garfield was sitting on the floor, leaning on the side of his bed. He looked at Kori, who's eyes where closed. This reminded him of her gruesome past…

FLASHBACK

"Oh God…" Kori looked at her watch. "I'm sorry, Garfield, but I gotta go." Kori rushed out the door. Garfield looked at his clock. It was only 5:00. Kori had been helping him with algebra. They were both juniors in high school. Kori was never allowed to go anywhere and Garfield was curious. He had had enough, he was gonna find out why she was always home so early.

Garfield followed Kori to her house and watched what he could from the windows. What he saw shocked him. He heard it, too:

"Where the HELL have you been?" The voice of her angry father filled the house. "I'm sorry, sir, I've been with a friend doing homework…" she said it quietly; looking at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world. Her father slapped her and she stumbled back but bore it in silence, as always.

Garfield's eyes widened as he saw Kori's father take a large steak knife out of the sink and charge at Kori. To his relief, Kori dodged in time jut to get slashed in the arm… but it was still a pretty deep cut. It went on with her father trying to kill her, until she passed out due to fatigue. Luckily, her father didn't feel like killing her, so he put the crimson-stained knife in the sink and went upstairs to do Lord knows what.

Garfield went to the front door hoping it wasn't locked… it wasn't. Garfield went in and saw that Kori was still alive. He picked her up in his arms and took her to his house. He put her on the bed, and her eyes were closed…

END FLASHBACK

Garfield frowned. Kori did not deserve that life… she thought that that was how all parents treated their children, until she met his parents in the fourth grade. He shook out of his thoughts. She was really young… it really was sad.

Kori opened her eyes and looked at the clock and said, "Well Gar, thanks for inviting me over, but I think I'll go and get ready for tomorrow. It's 7:00. See you around!" Gar stood up and led her to the door. "Yep, later, I guess," He said, exhausted. He waved and she smiled. "Go to sleep, Gar. You don't look to good." Garfield nodded. "I won't argue with that, dude," He said. Kori giggled and left. Garfield changed and went to bed hoping that he would be able to see Kori again after tomorrow.

MEANWHILE WITH RICHARD

Richard didn't know who Slade was, but he knew he could do some REAL damage with all the xinothium he is planning to steal. He just hoped that Kori was as good as everyone said she was. If is was just him and her, she had to be good or everyone might as well call them both road kill. He went over to his utility closet, which was more filled with lethal weapons than cleaning supplies. I took out the weapons that he would bring: a retractable bow-staff, a grappling hook, smoke pellets, a small 22 caliber handgun, and a long sword. He hoped that Kori would bring more than a tiny pocket knife, although she was quite good…

NOW BACK WITH KORI

She parked her motorcycle in her apartment parking lot and got off. She took off her helmet and her long scarlet her fell down her back. In response, she got a whistle from a passerby. "Hey Hottie!" He yelled out to her. She gave him an intimidating glare and said "Hey Moron!" Then she turned around to go to her apartment but her neighbor stopped her at the door. "Hey Kor! Where have YOU been?" She asked? Kori smiled. "Hey Crystal!"

Crystal had long brown hair almost the length of Kori's. She had natural pink lips, and she had clear, shiny lip gloss on. When people saw her, the one thing they usually see first are her light brown eyes. Nobody had ever imagined more beautiful eyes, and that was the think she and Kori had in common. In general, Crystal an Kori looked a bit alike. Separated at birth? Possibly. Right now she was wearing navy blue tube top showing her midriff and her bellybutton and baggy white cargo pants. She wore white tennis shoes with her outfit.

Crystal smiled and hugged Kori. "Did you have fun in New York?" Kori asked. Crystal's smile broadened. "It was so awesome. I wish you were there. It was so fun!" she said. She yawned. "Hey, Kor, I think I'll hit the hay… I'm bushed…" She and Kori walked to the elevator and went up their floor and walked into their separate apartments. "Night Kori," Crystal said sleepily. "Goodnight, Crystal," Kori said, also quite tired. But, she still had to get ready for tomorrow.

Kori walked over to her utility closet and pulled out a few of the weapons: a small 22 caliber gun, 2 samurai swords, a grappling hook, and a pocket knife.

WITH THE MISTERIOUS CRYSTAL

"OK, tomorrow, you audition for the JCAA, you need some sleep, girl!" Crystal told herself. "Just GO TO SLEEP!" She muttered. She couldn't help tossing and turning in her bed; she was nervous. She went to her utility closet to check her weapons. "Bring your own weapons so you are comfortable." That is what the letter said. She was to meet the man named Victor Stone at the park… Ah. Here they are. Her weapons: a few ninja stars, a pair of samurai swords, a grappling hook, a tiny 22 caliber gun, and a pocket knife. She sighed. She would never get to sleep… She walked back to her bed, but collapsed before she got there, asleep.

WEANWHILE WITH RAVEN (A/N: You didn't think I would leave her out, did you?)

Raven sat on her bed, thinking about tomorrow. Would she ever see Richard again? Slade was one to show no mercy… unless he had a plan for you. How he made everything work the way he wanted it? Nobody knew… She sighed. She just hoped that Richard and Kori both came back in one piece…
