Princess-Korriandre: Hello again! I am now here with another member of the Teen Titans, Starfire! I really don't find it fun seeing Robin getting his butt whooped by Red X AND Slade… So I ordered Starfire! She should be here… any minute now… THAT'S YOU QUE!
(Doorbell rings and Robin, Red X and Slade look up at the door)
Princess-Korriandre: I'll get it! (walks over to the door and a man gives her a large box, about the size of Starfire)
Postman: I have a package for Princess-Korriandre from Titan's Tower.
Princess-Korriandre: Oh Yeah! It is finally here! (Signs for package)
Postman: Uhh… how old are you?
Princess-Korriandre: ………23?
Postman: WOW! You look REALLY young! Do you use that L'Oreal Anti-Aging whatever-it-is?
Princess-Korriandre: No, you idiot! I look this way NATURALLY! NOW GO AWAY! (Slams door) (mumbling) A person always making fun of me… just because I'm 23 doesn't mean I can't LOOK like I'm 13… Oh wait, I AM 13! Hehe… (sweat drop)
Robin: Who was at the door?
Red X: It was a postman… I think…
Slade: No dip, Dumbo! WOAH! Look at that! (Slade runs over to a piece of glass on the floor) IT'S SOOO SHINY! OOH! OUCH! I CUT MYSELF! GRR!
Princess-Korriandre: (rolls eyes) OK, then… I WILL NOW OPEN THE BOX!
Red X: NOT SO LOUD!
Robin: JUST OPEN THE BOX ALREADY!
Princess-Korriandre: Wow, you guys are really loud… ouch… OK, her I go…
(The box just rips open itself)
Starfire: Who put me in there? It was very cramped…
Robin: Starfire! WOW! I am so glad you are here! I was stuck here all by myself with these LUNATICS!
Starfire: (looks around) Eep! Why is Slade running around crying?
Slade: AHH! I CUT MYSELF! AHHHHHH!
Starfire: And why is HE here?
Red X: I am being held against my will…
Robin: Idiot…
Princess-Korriandre: You are not being held against your will! You are the one who came back after being released!
Red X: Whatever
Princess-Korriandre: Shut up or I will make you listen to Hilary Duff! Wait! Why do I even have a Hilary Duff CD? She is such a POSER! Oh yeah, I buy them sometimes so I can set them on fire and watch them go up in a pleasant little light display… just as good as watching fireworks!
Robin: Whatever:
Princess-Korriandre: It's true! You either put them into a microwave or oven and set them on fire, and then you just watch! It's pretty awesome... Now the disclaimer. Starfire?
Starfire: Alright… Princess-Korriandre does not own the Teen Titans. If she did, she would make Robin and I-
Robin: (blushing) Don't finish that sentence!
Princess-Korriandre: Well it's quite true… anyways, I will read the claimer! Ahem… I DO own my own character, Crystal. Well of course I do, she is my own character! Hehe!
Slade: Stupid…
Princess-Korriandre: Why don't you read the authoress note?
Slade: Cause I'm not the authoress? I am not even a girl, for crying out loud!
Princess-Korriandre: Well read it anyway. You haven't been getting mush action anyways…
Slade: (growls) Princess-Korriandre does not know Aqualad's person-name, so she went ahead and named him Adam Aqueous.
Princess-Korriandre: Now that wasn't so bad, was it? Bumble Bee will also be entering the story in this chapter and I decided to name her Brianna Lewis. Her nickname will be Bee. ON WITH THE STORY!
Crimson Blade
Chapter 5:
She just hoped that Richard and Kori both came back in one piece…
CRYSTAL
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEE-
06:00. Crystal groaned and crawled over to her bed and slapped her hand on her alarm clock, causing it to crack a little. I'll get that fixed later… She thought to herself. Why was she even sleeping on the floor? She shook it off and reluctantly got up.
She wobbled over to her bathroom and turned the hot knob in her bathtub. She slipped out of her clothes and turned the cold knob slightly before getting in. She sighed and closed her eyes as the warm water caressed her skin.
When she was finished with her shower, she dried off and stepped out of the shower. She wrapped the fluffy white towel around herself and started blow-drying her hair.
She turned off her hair dryer and stepped out of the bathroom. She dressed herself in a navy blue halter top and navy blue camouflage cargo pants. She Slipped on a pair of black ankle-boots.
She finished dressing herself and decided to eat breakfast. She looked into her pantry and found some frosted flakes. Well, that'll just have to do for now… She decided.
She poured herself some cereal and milk in a bowl and started eating. She looked at the clock. It was 06:20. Only 40 more minutes… She assured herself…
RICHARD
06:00. Richard was awake since 05:00 training at the gym. He had just come home from a 20 minute jog from the gym to his apartment.
Richard stepped into his bathroom and took a quick shower. When he was done he stepped out of the shower booth and clothed himself in the bathroom.
He was wearing a tight black T-shirt and black cargo pants. She walked over to the kitchen and put some bread in the toaster. He went to get his weapons ready.
He heard the toaster pop and finished adjusting the sheath for his sword and went to get his toast.
He got his toast out and lightly buttered it and ate it. He looked at the clock. It was 06:20. Only 40 more minutes… He assured himself…
KORI
06:00. Kori had been out of bed since 05:30 and had been soaking in her bathtub. She looked up at her kitty-cat clock in her bathroom for the hundredth time. 06:00. She sighed and unplugged the bathtub plug and turned on the shower to rinse off her bath bubbles. When she was done, she dried herself off and wrapped the purple towel around her as she stepped out. She blow-dried herself and stepped out to dress herself.
She dressed herself in a dark purple halter top and black cargo pants. (A/N: Sorry about them all having the same type of pants… I just think it is better for them in the athletic circumstances that they are in, with them running around doing stuff, and all.)
She went into her kitchen and opened her refrigerator and took out an apple and decided that was good enough for breakfast. She bit into her apple and lazily leaned onto her kitchen island. She looked up at her clock and sighed. It was 06:00. Only 40 more minutes… she assured herself…
(A/N: Sorry if that was a bit boring for you to read; heck, it was a bit boring for me to write! I just wanted to clarify how they started off their morning… K now BACK TO THE STORY! YAY!)
CRYSTAL
Crystal Put on her utility belt and hooked her grappling hook onto it. He also put her ninja stars in the small pocket on her belt. She put her pocket knife into her back pocket and her gun in the side of her boot.
There. She said to herself. Now for my swords… She looked at her two samurai swords that were in their sheaths. One was made to be clipped on her belt while the other was to be carried across her back. The handles had navy blue cloth wrapped around it for a better grip. Her hands and wrists were also wrapped in navy blue cloth.
She looked at her clock. 06:50. She picked up her swords and put them on the back of her navy blue motorcycle. (Navy blue this, navy blue that, don't complain. Shut up and deal with it.) She drove off to the park. She parked her cycle in the park's parking lot (lol) and picked up her swords. She fastened one onto her utility belt and put the other one's strap around her shoulder and adjusted it. "I will be on the west side on a bench reading a newspaper and I will be wearing a whit T-shirt and a pair of slacks." That is what another part of the letter said. How… original… PSH. Right.
She made it to the west side of the park and saw a man reading a newspaper and he had a white T-shirt and a pair of slacks. She saw about nine more people from different directions walking up to him. They all made it up to him at the same time and he lowered the newspaper low enough that you could just see his sunglasses. He folded up the newspaper and spoke.
"Ah. Welcome. I am Victor Stone, head in command of the JCAA. All of you have been chosen to compete against each other to enter the Association. Here is how it will work: Each of you will be chosen a sparring partner. You will fight until the judge decides one or the other have lost, and the remaining five will fight against each other. The judges will pick the three that have been chosen. The rest of you will be brainwashed. You go that?" He asked.
They all nodded.
"OK. Here are the sparring partners: (1) Brianna Lewis and Arielle Pippin, (2) Kiarra Ricket and Yea Chan Kim, (3) Laterious Jones and Adam Aqueous, (4) Katerina Reyes and Ashleigh Rushing, (5) and Crystal Summers and Cody Navarro. Are you all ready?"
They nodded once more.
"OK then, Get on your vehicles and follow the black Hummer H2. Good luck." He walked over to his vehicle, and the rest of them did the same.
This is a bit nerve wracking… Kori thought.
MEANWHILE
Richard and Kori both got to the JCAA building at ABOUT the same time. They got there to check in, but Kori's friends, Amber Hermance and Regina Martin showed up and told her that they would be getting new agents. Why they thought she cared, she would probably never know.
"Oh, well, nice talking to you! See you later guys!" Kori said.
Amber and Regina waved at her and continued their conversation.
Richard and Kori silently walked over to their parked vehicles and got on. They wished each other luck and drove to their destination: Pier 21.
AT THE AUDITIONS
The group of people soon made it to the JCAA building. When Crystal parked her motorcycle, she thought she saw someone who looked like Kori driving what looked like Kori's motorcycle away from the building. But she told herself that she was imagining and walked into the building with the others.
Victor Stone led them to a large room With cement floors, walls, and ceiling. There were a few windows toward the top of the room, and there were mats on the walls and on the floor next to the wall. Otherwise, the room was empty. The only light was from the windows, and a few dim lights at the top of the ceiling. There were boards not high above the ground; probably for aerial stunts.
Victor quickly began to explain the rules. Don't kill or deeply injure you opponent and yadadadadada… like they didn't already know…
"Please partner up and get ready to begin. You may go anywhere in the room," he pointed to various cameras in the room. "and do not touch or damage those." He then pointed to a speaker box. "I will give instructions through those." With that, he walked out.
"Get ready," a voice came out of the speaker box. "Begin."
That was when it all began…
Princess-Korriandre: BUAHAHAHAHA! Cliffy! Sorta… I still need to know if you want a BBxRAE pairing in this story… and I would like to know if you all liked it and all the improvements! I will even accept flames, but not on the pairings, please!
Red X: Why can't anyone flame the pairig?
Starfire and Robin: WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PAIRING!
Slade: I KNEW it! You DO like each other! I will use this to my advantage when I escape from this DAMNED place…
Princess-Korriandre: Watch your language!
(Starfire and Robin blush)
Red X: (mumbles)
Princess-Korriandre: Please review! I really could use the reviews, and constructive criticism, and COMPLIMENTS wouldn't hurt none… hint… hint… Stay tuned! By the way, I may not update as much as usual because of School (EEEEEVIL!) all the Damn algebra, English, US History, Science, AND AVID! I am in all Pre AP classes so it takes a bit more work… But I will try to update every other day or something around that area… Thank you! Huggles! Stay tooned!
