A/N: It seems 'Garth' did a pretty good job with the last chapter. This is me giving 'Garth' a second go at my story while I work on Chapter 2. (Letting friends write in the place of the original author is a really terrible idea for more than two reasons)
(Me) Hahaha, I'm not gonna lie, Blitz was right about that last part. I unconsciously made this chapter a lot longer than I meant it to be (and accidentally beat his record in the process), so there'll definitely be a lot of grammatical (and plot) errors throughout.
Blazin' Blitz: Dread him, run from him... Blazin' Blitz still arrives.
Kate: Yay! Our lord and savior has returned!
Humphrey: Okay so anyway... I want the rank of writer.
Blazin' Blitz: Your time will come my apprentice...
Lilly: I want to write too, y'know.
Blazin' Blitz: Damn then get your own writing licenses (FFN accounts).
Humphrey: But Garth doesn't have one. Why is he writing in your place, you lazy ass! Let us write too!
Blazin' Blitz: You are on this council but I do not grant you the rank of writer.
Humphrey: This is outrageous, it's unfair!How can you be put on the Council Of Blitz and not be granted the rank of writer?
Garth: Take a seat, young Humphrey. (This is me indirectly telling you: sit down, boy)
Kate: Why does there always have to be some kind of reference when Blitz is here?
Blazin' Blitz: It's simple really: it's because I'm the energy and soul of this lounge. Hell, I'm the one who made it so this place is pretty much dead without me! I read how boring the last session was without me and I apologize for not being there.
Garth: He's right you know.
Blazin' Blitz: You're goddamn right, I'm right!
An Extraordinary Friday
Jasper High
Friday 07:45
Humphrey's P.O.V.
Today is supposed to be a free Friday for the rowers and tennis players after school ends early today. Garth thinks we should all have an outing with the entire rowing team and Shakey says it should be just the six us. I didn't really care though.
We walked around the hallways around the block then an educator called us out.
"I need help moving my science equipment, are you gentlemen free?" The teacher asked us. We nodded then walked into the lab.
My jaw dropped after spotting two burnt tables in the corner of the lab. It seemed that there was an experiment that went horribly wrong some time ago.
"Katherine Quinn caused that a week ago." The educator told us as he shook his head at the burnt mess.
"Look at all this damage!" I stated humorously. I managed to get the professor to crack at this reference.
Shakey tried holding back a laugh then Garth nudged him hard into the ribs. "Ow! It's funny though!" Shakey said in his self-defense.
The professor then walked into the back room and brought out a box full of apparatus equipment not long after. "Is that all?" Garth asked him. "Of course not, there are 5 more boxes to to go." The science tutor told us.
My back started to hurt at the thought of carrying all those large boxes. Garth stacked two other boxes on top of the first then easily lifted his tower of boxes. 'Well that's three down... show off.' I thought as Shakey and I watched Garth carry half the boxes out of the room.
I took 2 boxes leaving Shakey to carry just one. "We should probably hurry, school is gonna start soon." He told us as he started making his way to the door.
"Yeah but where are we taking this stuff anyway?" I asked Sam and Garth. The science tutor facepalmed then walked ahead of us.
"My mistake, we'll be taking these to my new lab, west of the school in the J-Block." He said, still resting his head on his palm.
"Is switching classrooms really necessary?" Shakey asked the tutor as we walked down the stairs.
"Of course. I can't have my students working in a ruined lab like this. After all, the ash left in the room is still flammable. I wouldn't want another student to accidentally ignite it." He explained. 'Oh, so that's why Lilly quit on this class. I guess I can't blame her.'
5 Minutes Later
Iris's P.O.V.
'Jay might be more of a Zephyr than me. What is that supposed to mean?' That thought has been plaguing my head ever since Tuesday night.
Jay isn't at school today, giving me one more reason to feel paranoid about what my grandfather.
The bell had just rang for class but I still didn't feel sane about it. I walked up to my locker and grabbed my history books for class. 'Humphrey and I share this history class, maybe he can...' I quickly erased the thought from my head recalling the real reason why I came to this school in the first place. 'No, I can't... that's not my mission.'
I began walking off to my class then unconsciously bumped into Humphrey along the way. "Ow." I said as I literally collided with his back. It was a lot tougher than I thought. "Iris?" He asked as he turned around and faced me.
"Sorry, my head's not where it's supposed to be today." I said as I rubbed my forehead. I was about to walk around him then he shook his head at me. "I can tell, that something's bothering you. You're quite obvious to read." Humphrey said then then put his hand on my shoulder. My heart started beating rapidly after he told me this. "You've got friends here who'll always have your back Iris, don't you forget it." My face was utterly flushed.
'Friends, huh? These wolves keep filling me with curiosity. Is this what having a real friend is like?' My eyes started tearing up. I wrapped my arms tightly around Humphrey and wept into his shoulder.
"If Lilly sees this, she's gonna get the wrong idea." Humphrey told me then hugged me back. "I've never really felt any true friendship before, I'm sorry." I told him softly as I wiped off my tears.
"Don't be. Wasn't Jay the closest wolf you had to a friend?" Humphrey asked me as we approached the class.
"He's more of a brother but... I don't really know anymore..." I told him as we entered the classroom. We walked in to see a very disappointed History teacher. "Williams and Fischer, you're late." He stated.
"There's no excuse ma'am, I held her up." Humphrey told the teacher then walked to his seat. I was baffled by Humphrey taking the heat like that. I just sighed then walked up to my desk and pulled out my books from my bag. His dive was unnecessary, he didn't have to do that for me. Maybe this was one of those friendship things. I don't really know how it works, maybe that was something else.
Jasper CBD
CSE Business Lodge
Marcus's P.O.V.
This is taking much longer than I expected. Iris still doesn't seem like she's going to get rid of that Williams boy any time soon. I tapped my pen on my desk, waiting impatiently for my assets to arrive.
The door to my office opened then 4 wolves entered the room. Each of them wore masks over the faces to conceal their identities. This hardly mattered to me.
"Do you know why you are here?" I asked them. "We believe that we do, sir. You need us professional soldiers to have a controlled extraction of the targets then eliminate, no?" The Firefox squad leader called "Fennec" explained.
"Yes, but in this case there are 6 targets. They're students in Jasper High and they-"
"Students? Have we really stooped so low that we would take out teenagers in high school?" The Delta Romeo squad captain interrupted me. I had very little patience for being interrupted and much less for wolves that had no balls. I rested my chin on my hands and stared the mercenary in the eyes. The mercenary team
"The rules of engagement have changed, bruv. Anyone and literally anyone can be an enemy whether they're the youngest kid or the oldest geezer. If you can't identify the target, you are the target." He said before pulling out a pistol and executed him.
'Having a conscience is a very dangerous thing.' I thought as I sat in my seat and and stared at the dead wolf laying on the floor with a hole through his skull.
"Inform Delta Romeo's second division that they're under new command." The head wolf told the other remaining squad leaders then walked up to my desk. "Look sir, I'm not directly sayin' that guy had a point. I'm just asking if you sure about this?" Hound asked me, causing me to raise an eyebrow at him.
"Absolutely. One of the six had a father who worked so closely with me but I had to cut him loose. His son still remembers that day were I had to kill both his parents. Then there's another wolf from the six, she's a special case. Her father also worked for me but like Victor Williams, he too was having second thoughts on our business. I sent three hitmen to take him out but one them shot the mother aswell, leaving the little girl orphaned aswell. Now not too long ago I met face to face with this young girl. I talked to her after touring the lodge then I learned she'd been living with a family who also had ties to CSE. I offered to let her into CSE and the Zephyr family but she knew too much for her own good. She jumped out of the window and somehow survived the fall." I told the wolf.
"Damn, Marcus that's crazy but I don't remember asking about who they are and what their parents have to do with this." He told me as he scratched the back of his head. 'How disrespectful.'
"Do you want the job or not?" I asked him, now running out of patience.
"Yes, it's what you pay me for but one. Should the team put down civilians when necessary or focus on removing the targets as our main objective before terminating them?"
"If the situation doesn't go as planned and escalates out of your control, then you may execute a hostage or two." I told the wolf. He nodded then walked towards the door.
"One more thing, I have a mole in that school so you'll receive rough information of the six wolves whereabouts in the school." I told him. The leader then left the room, leaving me to stare at the city from my office. I tapped on the intercom then requested a cleaning crew to get rid of the mess on my floor.
Jasper High
Mechanical Engineering Class
Friday 13:20
Garth's P.O.V.
Goddamn, today is such a cluster-fuck. Almost literally. Omega classed students were sent to alpha classes to collaborate on some practical assignments. Here I am dealing with one right now with Shakey.
"No, no, no, no! You're fitting it wrong, man." I said as I removed the makeshift piston from a model engine. "I'm still learning." Shakey laughed as he tried again. I held the mechanism in my hands then measured two of the cardboard pistons.
"Nice measurements dude." I told him after noticing that both of the rotating shafts were 4cm off. I sighed then wrote down the mistaken measurements in my notebook. "I should probably write down that these big-brain measurements were yours."
"Yes. No... wait. Did you hear that?" Shakey said as he replaced the shafts. "What? If you haven't noticed, we're in a mechanical engineering class where everyone is banging pieces of metal together. " I told him. "No, not that." He said then walked over to the window on the left side of the class. I tilted my head to the side then I heard a loud crash just in front of the school gate. 'I definitely heard that one...'
Narrative P.O.V.
A black van speeding at 210mp/h rammed through the school gate, followed by a second and third van. The intruding vehicles came to a stop on the school field, ruining the freshly cut grass. The rear doors of the vans were kicked open as the driver and passenger seated wolves stepped out of the vehicles. A total of 21 wolves exited from the black vans.
"We exactly 50 minutes to clock this before cops, that wasn't exactly the subtlest of entrances so we gotta hope best case scenario that the cops aren't called yet.." The leading wolf told the rest of the pack as he grabbed his gear from the back.
"Split up into squads of two minimum, we need to have everyone at the main classes to extract the targets and watching on the others." A Beta Romeo squad member stated.
"One's in a French class, top floor in the main building. There's another two in an engineering class in the west wing of the school and two more in a physics class in the same building. The last one's with a V.I.P in a History class up the main building aswell." The new Beta Romeo squad captain told the team as he read out the info in the target files.
"I'll take Fennec and Locke. We'll cover the last one." The leader said.
"Roger that chief. We still have to make this as quick as possible. We can't take them out in the school then cover up in time." The Omega Indigo squad captain informed the team. The rest of the wolves acknowledged this then split into groups before running into the school building, hunting for the six target students.
Princess's P.O.V.
I heard heavy boots marching up the stairs as the class hid under their desks. I peeked over my own and saw three armed wolves searching the classes
"Any guess on who they might be looking for?" Pete asked while most of the class shook in fear. I had a very strong feeling that they're looking for me on this floor and the others were probably looking for Sam and the rest. I wasn't totally sure of how they knew which floors we were on but I know for a fact that the shady, old wolf was behind this.
Shakey's P.O.V.
"Well this just got interesting." Garth said after the teacher locked the doors and told us all to remain calm as we hid under our tables. I could point out at three other times where what was happening right now is nowhere near calling it 'interesting'.
"Haha, you call this interesting, dude? Need I remind you that we jumped out a fucking building just two weeks ago?" I said to him while trying to get a peek through the window. Nothing from out there made me change my mind, even if those guys were carrying guns.
Garth pulled me down just before one of the terrorist wolves saw me. I mean, well... they looked like terrorists to me. They got the masks, AK's and everything except a bomb. Thank God for that.
"Good news is, there's only two on this floor." I told everyone in the class. They all looked at me as if I was mad, it was just facts. "What? We can take 'em."
"Chill dude. How many games have you been playing lately?" Garth quietly asked me. I raised an eyebrow and shrugged my shoulders. He facepalmed and crouched back under the desk.
I peeked through the window again and saw Seymour, my old nemesis, walking out of the boys restroom with three of his friends. 'Suspicious much?' I thought as I watched the four students walking around.
"What's going on here?" He asked as he saw the two wolves entering other classes. I kinda hoped the terrorist wolves would kill him but that'd be too dark. The wolves then aimed their weapons at Seymour and his friends so I guess my darker side called it. "Hands up! Get on the ground, now kid!" One of the wolves ordered
"Uh... guys?" I said as the terrorists approached the group of boys. "If we're gonna do something, the time is now."
Meanwhile in Lilly's P.O.V...
"Well this just got interesting." Kate said as three wolves marched across the corridor looking for... us most likely. I swear that Garth could be saying the same thing as Kate in whichever class he's in now. Today sure is about to turn into one hell of a day, that's for sure.
'Why can't I just live a normal life in high school?' I thought as I put my head between my knees while I hid underneath a desk in the lab.
"Don't tell me this is all it takes to do you in, sister." Kate told me. I reacted by quickly lifting up my head to face her.
"I'm not scared, I just... don't like living like this." I explained. I hoped that she got the picture. She sighed then shook her head at me. "Come on, we don't even know if the Zephry guy is really the one behind this." Kate told me as she knelt down under the table. Just as she said this, students were heard screaming as the invading wolves exited a class not far from here.
"There's supposed an auburn wolf and a white furred wolf on this floor. Find them!" One of the scary-looking soldiers ordered as they searched the hallways.
"You were saying?" I sarcastically asked Kate as the wolves approached the class. Those guys were definitely hired assassins since they're out for just our blood on this side of the school.
'Sometimes I wonder what my life could've been if my real parents weren't involved with CSE or if we hadn't went to that stupid restaurant...' I thought before one of the wolves smashed down the door to our class.
Meanwhile in Humphrey's P.O.V...
I sat quietly in my seat as everyone else was panicking in the classroom. Iris gently slapped her tail across my face.
"Aren't you scared or worried?" She asked me as I rubbed my left cheek. It was kind of ironic of her to say that since she was doing the exact thing as I was, just sitting quietly and minding our own business.
"I admit, I am worried about my friends but we're no stranger to this kinda stuff." I told her and instantly regretted it. I expected her to be shocked and asking me a bunch of questions but she just... frowned at me.
"You aren't suprised?" I asked her. "Not really." Iris's ears drooped as she said this. 'That's odd.' I thought then an idea popped into my head. 'Hahaha, Lilly said I was unconventional and she was right. Time to do something these guys will least expect. If I can get a few of them chasing me around the school, assuming it's me they're looking for, that'll probably give everybody the distraction they need to get out of here. Time to play the odds...'
"If those guys come in here and ask where I am, tell the truth and say I'm on the the roof." I told Iris as I got up from my seat and ran for the window.
"Williams! What are you-" Mr Allen said but I ignored the history teacher and climbed out of the window anyway. "You know what, do whatever. I'm not getting blamed for this." I heard him say as I started climbing up the ladder on the side of the building. Once I got to the top, I pulled out a pair of scissors and a pen that I managed to sneak into my pocket then camped on the edge of the roof.
Never in my life have I thought that I might have to rely on the worst in-game tactic in real life to save myself and others. 'High school is so wild.' I mentally said to myself as I waited for the wolves to reach the roof.
Iris's P.O.V.
Whatever Humphrey's plan is, I hope it works. Three of the mercenaries broke into the class room and began searching for him. They started aggressively flipping over the desks just to find Humphrey.
One of the wolves peeked under my desk and found me relaxing on the side of the legs. "V.I.P identified." The female said as she pulled me out from under the desk.
"Now, where is your friend?" She asked me. I was hesitant on answering her even though I knew that Humphrey had a plan. "Iris, answer me." She said.
"Humphrey's hiding on the roof." One of the students blurted out from the back of the class. I felt a really strong urge to pull out my scissors and throw them at that guy's forehead but I didn't have them on me.
"Locke, take the girl to the van. If she tries anything, you know what to do." The wolf that I assumed was leader, told the female wolf before he climbed out of the window with another mercenary.
"Rog'." She said then pulled me by the arm as we exited the classroom. 'My grandfather is so fucking desperate it's almost amusing...' I thought while the wolf escorted me down the hallway. As she rushed me down the stairs, I heard gunshots from across the school. I hoped none of the students were injured but it was very unlikely.
Back To Shakey's P.O.V...
The wolves aimed their weapons at Seymour and his friends as they put their hands behind their heads and knelt down.
"If we're gonna do something, the time is now man." I told Garth then grabbed a socket wrench. Garth chuckled and raised his fists. All the students behind us grabbed some piece of equipment and readied themselves.
"On three..." Garth started. "One, two..." I counted then Garth yelled "Three!" before the entire class lost their shit.
I smashed open the window with the small wrench and quickly climbed out of it, ignoring all the cuts, scratches and damage to my hoodie. Garth charged at the wolves with only his two fists while the entire class followed behind us.
"This... is... SPARTA!!!" I exclaimed before kicking down one of the terrorists and beating him senseless with the socket wrench. The other students went to the other classes to check if there were anymore enemy wolves on this side of the school block. Garth and I picked up the terrorist's weapons and their tactical vests.
"Now this is what I'm talking about." I said as I strapped on the vest. It felt kinda heavy and weird on the back. Garth just stared at me in a weird way. "What?" I asked then he burst out in laughter.
"Ass." I said to him. He was probably laughing at me because I looked small in the vest. I was about to follow the others then Seymour bowed down to me. "I'm sorry about the prank I pulled that other day, please forgive me!" He begged in front of me.
"Okay man, you are forgiven." I told him. 'This... this what power feels like...' I thought as I walked around my former bully. This is slowly turning out to be a good day for me.
As I approached the stairs, several wolves that went up to check on the other classes came running back down to us. 'I know where this is going...' I sighed then turned towards Garth who still had no fucking clue on how to hold the assault rifle.
"You ready for a gun fight?" I asked him. "You know it man, let's get evil." Garth replied then we rushed up the stairs where everyone else came down from. I started struggling after going up the first flight of stairs because of the weight of this vest.
"Shit, can we... take a break... dude?" I asked between breaths. "This thing is heavy as fuck!"
"Think of this as fitness training." Garth said as he continued running up the stairs. I groaned then continued the climb up the stairs. Once I reached the top, I found Garth sitting on the side of the railing and waiting for me.
"How did you make it through the trials?" Garth laughed as he asked me this. "I have no idea." I replied then pulled out the AK-103.
"I'm not gonna lie... I'm starting to wonder where these guys get their guns from." I said as I inspected the rifle.
"Marcus has connections, Shakey." Garth told me as he checked the corridor. 'Good point...' I thought. I then saw one of the hired terrorists around the corner.
I aimed the gun at his legs then pulled the trigger. The kick on the rifle was powerful, that the AK nearly flew out of my arms. I tried controlling the recoil but accidentally shot the wolf in the head.
"Fuck!" I exclaimed after seeing the body of the dead wolf and blood splattered on the walls. "Nice shooting..." Garth complimented me. "No, dude! I just wanted to knock the guy down." I told him.
"It doesn't matter, it's still one less guy to worry about." Garth said before leading the way. 'High school's wild. Somehow I'm happy I'm living like this but on the other hand, scared shitless.' I thought as I checked the next hallway.
Humphrey's P.O.V.
I was crouched at the top of the school building, waiting for the first guy to show his hands. I readied my (not really) scissors as I heard boots stepping on each bar on the ladder.
As soon as I saw the first pair of hands reach the top, I stabbed both hands then pulled the wolf up to finish him. I rolled him over into a choke hold before a second wolf joined the party. I pulled out a pistol from the injured wolf's holster and aimed it at the second mercenary. I felt like such a badass after pulling that off.
"Who are you guys and why are you here at my school?" I asked him while I still had the first one in a choke hold.
"Just come with us kid, we'll explain everything in the van." He told me then pointed to the three vans on the school field.
"Bullshit! I know you were hired to take me out." I said to him then tightened my hold on the other wolf.
"If you know that much already than why did you ask the damn question? It doesn't matter, we still have a job to do." The mercenary said then walked up to me prompting me to aim the gun at his head.
"Pointing a gun at me doesn't mean a damn thing if you don't have the balls-" He said but I cut him off when I lowered the pistol and shot both of the wolf's kneecaps. We howled in pain before falling onto his back.
"Fuck you mate, you got a lotta guts..." He said as he groaned on the floor. "You talk to much." I told him before knocking out his partner with the pistol butt then leaving him on the roof top.
I walked over to the crippled wolf then pointed the gun at him. "Who is your leader?" I asked him then he laughed at me humorously while also in pain.
"You're staring at him, dumbass..." He said to me. "But that doesn't mean you've saved the day yet..." He continued then pulled out something from his pocket. I thought it was a weapon so I shot him twice in the arm. He became unresponsive after the last two shots so I thought he lost consciousness from the bloodloss (or died).
I dropped the gun when I noticed that what was in his hands wasn't a pistol but a remote trigger. "Damn! These guys weren't messing about!" I said then kicked the thing away from him.
I walked to the the ladder then started making my decent down to the history classroom. I grabbed onto the window ledge and started climbing into the classroom.
"What happened, Humphrey?!" One of the students asked me. 'Oh sure, forget I exist in class then all of a sudden you all care when something big happens.' I thought. I ignored the questions then started looking for Iris.
"What happened to Iris?" I asked the class. "The new girl? One of the military kinda wolves took her. She looks hot by the way." One of students replied.
I rolled my eyes then walked out of the classroom. Atleast I now know that she was taken by a female but first things first, I need to know if me friends are okay. I turned left up the stairs to find Princess's class.
Lilly's P.O.V.
I sighed as one of the soldiers grabbed Kate and I from the table. I lifted a pistol from the merc's holster and aimed it at him.'This is something I'm getting used to now.' I thought as I released the safety lock on the gun.
"That's my Lilly" Kate told me before knocking down the wolf with her own two hands. She then took the assault rifle he had on him.
'I'm never gonna forget this day.' I thought then we walked out of the class room with our new toys.
As we checked through several classrooms and dashed down several hallways, we bumped into Humphrey who was surprised to see us.
"Damn, Humphrey. What happened? You look like you've seen a ghost." I said to him. "I'm just glad that you guys are okay." He told us as he wiped the sweat from his face.
"Where is everyone else?" Kate asked him. "I don't know, I heard Iris was taken then I started looking for you guys before finding her." He told us. 'Oh boy, this day can't get any worse...'
"Well, I guess we don't have time to waste." I said then we hurried down to the bottom of the main building.
Shakey's P.O.V.
We reached the top floor then I spotted three terrorists in one classroom and four more in separate classes. "Shit, that's Christina's French class." I said then sat against the wall. "We can take 'em." Garth told me. I took a deep sigh then gave him my response. "Dude, there are 4 others here. We can't do this alone."
"Who says you're alone?" A voice said from behind us. I turned around and saw one of Garth's friends behind us. I recognized him from that assembly on Tuesday.
"Hey Walter, you're still alive bro." Garth joked as he shook hands with the wolf. "You two look like you're training for the military. Now I know what happened to the wolf on the 5th floor." Walter chuckled as he said this.
"I have a guilty conscience, you don't have to rub it in." I laughed nervously then remembered the day on the bus when we riddled an SUV with bullets. If only this was easier.
"It's still just the three of us against the seven of them." I said then looked back at the French class. "Think of this as one of your video games but only this time it's on the hardest, most realistic difficulty and if you die you get no resets or restarts plus you're leading a small team of three who are counting on you. No pressure." Garth told me. I deadpanned at his advice.
"Thanks for the support." I said to Garth then stood back up to my feet. 'What would I do if this was a mission that required stealth and as little hostage deaths as possible... or preferably no hostage deaths at all?' I thought on this then closed my eyes.
"What is he doing?" Walter asked. "Shhh, let the wizard work his magic." Garth told him as I concentrated on a mixture of games at once."Air vents, no weapons, always hiding, tactical grenades and gear, stealth takedowns plus a lot of diversions and distractions equals a guaranteed win at this." I said then opened my eyes again to see the confused faces.
"You know I could pretend that you said things that actually made sense but I can't because there's no way of translating that to normal English." Garth told me. I just sighed and shook my head at him.
"Anyone picked up any flash grenades or any piece of helpful tactical equipment?" I asked the two. They both shook they're heads. "Fine then we're gonna have to do this the hard way. Who wants to cause a distraction?" Just as I said this, students from below the building started throwing rocks through the windows in an attempt to distract the terrorists. 'How convenient.'
Three of the four wolves left their hostages now making it a total of four terrorists left on the floor. Yep, it was that easy.
Walter, Garth and I quietly made our way to the class furthest on the floor to take out the guard in the room. Walter decided to take a risk for for the team and entered the class.
"Oops, this isn't my class. I think I must've made a wrong turn somewhere." He faked then the terrorist grabbed him and put him with the group of students in the front of the class. "Classic hostage setup." I said to myself quietly while thinking about a really old movie I forgot the name of.
While the wolf was facing away from the door, Garth quickly entered the classroom then shot the wolf in the head with the AK, alerting the others in the process. Unlike me, he intentionally executed the terrorist. "Nice kill Garth but you overlooked one, tiny little detail... we were supposed to be QUIET!" I told him. The three wolves in Princess's class definitely knew we were here now, making things a bit more difficult for us.
I searched the body of the dead wolf and found a flash grenade on him. "This, my friends... is where the real fun begins." I said as I held the grenade in my hand.
Garth lifted me up to the ceiling so I could climb into an air vent to sneak into the next class. I'm glad that I could move around comfortably in the vents due to my size. I quietly crawled around until I could directly see the next class beneath me. I stealthily removed the cover then took out the flash grenade.
"If anyone's epileptic, I apologize in advance!" I exclaimed in the vents before pulling the pin and dropping the grenade into the class.
I turned away right before the loud bang and bright light lit up the entire class and parts of the air vents. Garth and Walter kicked the door open from outside and quickly took down the stunned terrorists.
I climbed down from the ceiling and crashed onto a table in front of the blinded language tutor.
"Looks like your gaming skills are paying off." Garth told me then we fist bumped eachother.
"I told you not to play too many video games, Sam!" Princess giggled as she tried walking up to the front of the class but stumbled onto me.
"It's the effects of the stun grenade. I'm really, really sorry about that." I apologised to her as I pulled her back on her feet.
"You're on detention." The French teacher said to us not long after she regained her vision. Garth opened his mouth to say something but the tutor cut him off.
"That's what I would've said if you three hadn't saved us. But it still seems like you're probably going to jail since you're not legally permitted to be holding and using firearms." She said, pointing at the AK's Garth and I were carrying.
"Oh come on, we're saving the school! Cops can't arrest good guys just because they're barely underage." I groaned then walked out of the classroom with the slightly dizzy Princess.
Iris's P.O.V
I sat in one of the vans as the hired mercenary known as 'Locke' waited for the rest of the team to return.
"Looks like Humphrey and his friends are managing to win the fight against your whole team of spec ops mercs." I said as I played with my tail out of boredom. "Shut up, we came here to do the one thing you couldn't." Locke snapped at me aggressively.
"Oh excuse me, however, it still doesn't seem like you're doing any better than I was." I smirked at the wolf as I said this, earning a malicious growl from her.
"I'm so scared, oh please spare me." I said without any emotion, almost milking the sarcasm of the sentence just to piss off the tempered mercenary for fun.
"I've just about had it with you, you little bitch!" Locke said to me then unsheathed her combat SOG knives.
"This isn't gonna be a fair fight." I told her, lifting my fists at her. She stopped in her tracks then smirked at me. "I'm not authorized to kill you but I will put you down like a rabid dog if you try something stupid." Locke told me as she put away her knives again.
'Tsk, if I can get one opening to take one of Locke's knives...' I thought as I stared at the plastic sheaths strapped around her thighs. Hopefully it didn't look suspicious... or weird in any way. Locke tried contacting her squad that went after Humphrey and never returned.
"Hound, Fennec, I'm standing by in the van. Have you captured the target or eliminated him?" Locke asked and got no response. I slowly shook my head at her as she started panicking.
"Aww don't tell me you're spooked by a high school student." I laughed as I said this. We both knew that the six wolves had probably already taken down just over three quarters of the entire merc team. Humphrey and his friends definitely aren't the typical, ordinary group of high school friends anymore.
Locke stood up then opened the side door, giving the opportunity I so desperately needed. I tackled her out of the van and managed to swipe one of her knives off of her in the action. We landed on the grassy field then quickly rolled back to our feet to face eachother.
"Are you really going to do this, Iris?" Locke asked me as she pulled out her one combat knife.
"It depends if you let me go and leave this school alone. I'll take out the group in my own time." I said with my eyes set on the merc's masked face.
"Don't lie to yourself. We both know you can't and won't do it." Locke said as she slowly approached me.
I cautiously approached her as well before attempting to deliver a high kick to the side of her neck. She blocked off my kick using her forearm then tried slashing at my head violently. I dodged left and right as Locke swung the knife at me from different angles.
She cut though my shirt a few times before pulling back to take a jab at my chest. I had almost no time to think so I just dropped to a limbo position to evade the attack. The knife ripped right through the top half of my black shirt, revealing a bit of my red bra. "For fuck's sake..." I said to myself.
With Locke being such an aggressive fighter, it was calculated that she would try and finish me off while I was on the ground. I grabbed her hands just as the knife was about to be rammed through my skull. "I used to be one of the youngest assassins hired for contract agencies just like you." Locke told me as I struggled against her as she was holding down the Bowie.
I barely managed to shift her hands away from my face but Locke still cut my ear. I felt the blood trickling down the side of my head then got back to my feet.
"Ouch..." I said as I touched my left ear. The merc ran at me once more. I ducked then leg swept her onto her back and stepped on her hand (crushing a finger or two) that carried the second SOG Super Bowie.
"Well played, kid. You really know your shit..." She told me then reversed the move onto me. Locke grabbed her Bowie and stabbed me in my left arm. "... but not well enough." She said then pulled the knife from my arm. I bit my lower lip as I held in the pain then rolled away from her before she could attack again. 'There goes my chances of winning tomorrow's race I guess.' I thought while clenching onto my left arm.
Locke slowly approached me once more then I realized that I wasn't going anywhere if I was always on the defensive side of this. Locke went for a high kick but instead of blocking it I rolled towards the left of her and slashed at her abdomen once I slid back to my feet. It was a pretty deep cut so I don't expect her to last very long if she continues to fight.
"So... do you want to keep going or do you want to call it a draw. I'm feeling a bit fatigued and you don't really look like you're good to go for another round." I told her and pointed at the large wound.
"I'm not... finished... yet..." She said between slow breaths. 'Who am I to judge? If she dies, she dies.' I thought to myself as I readied for another fight.
Locke slowly limped over towards me then fell flat on her face. 'Wow. I barely cut her once then this happens.' I thought as I stared at the unconscious mercenary. I walked over to her and removed her glove to check the pulse on her wrist. Locke was still alive unfortunately.
I started to walk back to the class but I felt way too tired to do that. I then walked back to the van and sat on the side of the the rear wheel. I looked at the unconscious Locke then smiled at my victory before falling asleep next to the van.
Humphrey's P.O.V.
All this running around the school made me so damn tired. Kate and Lilly had to take several stops to drink water after we confronted two more groups of the mercenary soldiers.
We reached the bottom floor then met up with Garth, Shakey Christina and... Walter, I think that's what his name was.
"Boy are we glad to see you guys." Shakey told us then we celebrated our survival with a fist bump.
"I'm suprised that I'm still alive too. I went head on with the leader and some other guy." I told Shakey. "What?!" Lilly shouted, throwing up her arms in exasperation. "You didn't tell me you went up against their leader. Doesn't it mean they should all leave or something?" She asked me. I shook my head in response.
"I don't think it's that simple, it's not like this is an alien invasion after all. When I shot down the main wolf he pulled out some kind of remote trigger even though he knew I beat him. Luckily I plugged two bullets into his arm before he pushed any buttons." I told everyone then Shakey widened his eyes. "A remote trigger? A fucking bomb?! I knew these wolves were terrorists!" He exclaimed, sounding excited in a weird way.
"There's no time to be excited about... whatever it is you're excited about, we still have to get Iris." Kate told Shakey. We nodded then ran for the front doors. As we approached the exit, the doors flew open and three of the mercenary wolves were thrown into the corridors.
"Nice job guys, those were the last three reported terrorists in the school building." Shakey said to the group of boys and girls at the front door. Some of them were rowers aswell.
"No problem Sam. If it wasn't for you and Garth, who knows what would have happened on the top floor and the west block of the school." Salty said to him
"Goddamn, we're popular already." Shakey whispered into my ear. "Who thought we of all wolves would end up saving the school from some hired assassins?" Lilly asked us.
"High school is wild." Garth, Shakey and I responded in unison. I heard sirens in the distance then facepalmed at the thought of their lateness. "Oh so now the cops come." Princess said as she crossed her arms. 'Wait, we still have to get Iris...'
I ran past the group at the door who were still praising us for defending the school (even though it sounded like they were praising Shakey and Garth more). We ran down to the school fields and saw three vans parked in the middle of the main field.
"Anyone else wondering how the school's security didn't see see ANY of this madness happening throughout the school?" Shakey said as we approached the vehicles and saw the smashed gate. He was definitely right about that. 'Come to think of it, I haven't seen any guards today...' I thought as I looked around van.
I saw a mercenary bleeding out on the ground then when I looked to the left, I found Iris laying against the side of the van.
"Shit! Guys, I found Iris!" I said as I quickly ran to her. I grabbed her by her arms and shook her by the arms and didn't respond. I gripped tighter and shook her more violently.
"...ow." Iris said as she slowly opened her eyes. "Iris! You're alive." Lilly exclaimed as she leaped onto Iris for an embrace. Wait hold on a minute...
"Ow! My shoulder..." Iris said as Lilly grabbed onto her tighter. "Woops, sorry." Lilly apologized to Iris. Yep, apologized to Iris.
"So... remember how you and Iris acted salty towards eachother that Tuesday morning..." Kate said with a wide grin on her face. My tail starts hurting at that memory. Lilly shrugged her shoulders even though she obviously remembered that day.
"Is Locke dead?" Iris asked as she got up to her feet. "Who?" Shakey asked her. Iris pointed at the wolf behind us. We looked at her closely and saw that her body was still rising quickly but dropping slowly. 'She must be in a lot of pain...'
"What happened to her?" Princess asked Iris as she checked on the wolf.
"An old fashioned 1v1 knife fight." Iris said humorously. I laughed at the joke but not too much because Iris looked like she was hit pretty hard.
"Are you even coming with us to tomorrow's Regetta?" Garth asked her.
"Of course I am. I know I'm definitely gonna lose but there's no reason for quitting if I can still atleast try to win." Iris told him.
"Great words to live by." I said to her then walked to the fatally injured wolf then lifted her up to my shoulders. "Is 'Locke' her real name, 'coz I feel like grabbing a wolf called 'Key' to see what would happen." Shakey said as he looked at the mercenary aswell.
"EW!" We all said in response. "What? I never meant it that way. Ah-ha, who's the perverted bunch now?" He said to us then tapped his forehead in a comical fashion. I facepalmed at the reply.
"What does that name even mean though? Is it 'Locke' as in something else or is it 'Lock' as in 'lock-lock'?" Princess asked Iris. She blinked at Princess for a moment before answering. "Don't look at me, it's just a call sign that I heard the others call her by." Iris said. We laughed this off then waited in the vans for the cops to arrive on the field.
Luckily an ambulance arrived just in case anyone was injured which in this specific case, helped Iris and the unknown wolf.
A few officers walked up to us and began taking down notes on what happened.
"Was this a gang attack or a standard school shooting?" One of the detective officers asked us.
"Neither, it was an assassination attempt." Lilly told the cop. I didn't want to answer to just any police officer while I'm still sceptical about the last encounter I had with corrupt cops. You'll never know who's crooked and who's a legitimate officer.
The detective raised an eyebrow at Lilly's statement then took down the notes. "Do you have any idea of who might want you dead and why?"
We thought on this for a bit then turned to Iris. "Uh Iris, we gotta discuss something private and really, really important-" Garth told her but she cut in.
"No problem, I'll wait." She told us then walked over to an ambulance to tend to her injuries.
Princess, Shakey, Garth, Lilly and I huddled up to discuss whether or not to tell the officer that the wolf so desperately trying to get rid of us was the leading entrepreneurial, multi-billionaire, Marcus freaking Zephyr.
"What do we do? We can't just tell him that it's some old, fancy, rich businessman! He won't believe a fucking word!" Garth told the group. He wasn't wrong about that, I had the same thing on my mind.
"I say let's just tell him we aren't sure of who it is. I know it's a stupid call but it's better than having the cops think we're a bunch of crazy high school kids messing around." Princess gave in her idea.
"I'm not sure this detective will take us seriously either way." I said as I took a peek behind us. The cop still had his brow raised at us the whole time.
"I may be able to assist you with that..." A wolf said from the left side of us. We quickly lifted our heads and saw a guy in a sharp looking suit. It definitely wasn't CSE because of how generic it looked.
"I'm with Central Intelligence and you six seem like the only students here who know what's really going on." The wolf told us as he showed us his badge. Now this just got interesting.
We couldn't say a word as we simply stared at this mysterious wolf. 'This guy? From the CIA? Talking to us?' I thought as I looked at his suit again.It looked a lot like the one I wore to the triple date.
"Look man, I know I've downloaded a couple a hundred movies off the internet but who hasn't? Please don't throw me in a cell for something so minor!" Shakey begged the agent. I held back a snicker as he started to look worried as if he was actually going to jail.
"That's not why I'm here and that's supposed to be the FBI's responsibility. We'll still talk about that piracy later though." The wolf said to Shakey.
"Then why are you here?" Kate questioned the wolf. "I already told you, I'm here for you six wolves." He told everyone then looked at me. "Humphrey. I've read the reports of a bombing in the city not too long ago..." And with that, I already knew where this was going. "Oh for fuck's sakes, it wasn't me!" I snapped at the wolf.
"Calm down, we know. The agency already looked into it and questioned the witnesses that attended the event... after the two police officers illegally arrested you of course." He said to me. I was about to tell him about Marcus but he stopped.
"Sorry but ee don't have any more time to chat. You will all have to tell me what you all know about what happened here and at the JCC once we get to my station here in Jasper-"
"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! I'm sorry to interrupt you sir but this is all just a bit too sudden to take in. We still have a school race tomorrow and we haven't exactly gotten our stuff in order yet." Garth told the agent. He managed to turn what's actually the truth into a really lame excuse.
"I already know about your Wolf Games Regetta tomorrow." The intelligence agent told us. I stopped myself from asking how he knew that since it was in his rank: intelligence.
"Fine... how long will this take? If it's going to take too much of our time, we're gonna have to meet at another time." Princess said. The wolf thought about this for a moment and didn't seem too happy about this statement. "Fine but understand that it's my responsibility if anything happens to you or around you wolves."
"So does that mean you're our personal agent?" Shakey asked him. "Temporarily, but you already had one the whole time." The agent told us before giving me a piece of paper with an address on it.'This day keeps getting better and better...'
I looked up then the wolf wolf was already gone. "So this is how Commissioner Gordon feels every time Batman bolts away." Shakey said, earning a quick fist bump from me. Sam has always been the jokester of the group, I kinda wondered what kind of jokes he was cracking while the school was under siege.
The six of us walked over to a nearby ambulance where medics were patching up Iris's arm.
"Anyone else noticed that Iris wears high quality bra's?" Kate asked, pointing at Iris's chest through the top half of her shirt that's been cut open during the knife fight.
Lilly and Princess slowly turned their heads towards Kate. "What? I wear the same brand." She defended herself, flustering the two girls.
"Understandable but kinda awkward to point out." Garth said to Kate.
A random thought crossed my mind then I started chuckling. "What's so funny, 'coz I hope we're laughing at the same thing." Shakey asked as he started laughing at the girls arguing about their undergarments for no damn reason.
"Can you imagine what Marcus must be thinking after finding out that his whole mercenary team was taken down?" I told Shakey then he started laughing even harder.
"Damn! You're right, I would be freaking the hell out if I was told that my team of assassins failed to take out a small bunch of kids in high school."

Veronica's P.O.V.
"How?!" Marcus Zephyr exclaimed on the phone as I waited outside his office. I'm guessing his team of private mercenaries didn't get their complete their mission.
"You had one job! You had a decent amount of soldiers and yet you couldn't kill atleast one of the six! You're all FUCKING useless!" I heard Zephyr lash out on the phone before slamming it back onto the desk.
I knocked on the door and waited for him to calmly allow me in. "Enter." He told me then I slowly opened the door and walked into his office.
"Veronica, I would consider even you to be better than those pathetic excuses for mercenaries." Marcus said as I sat down across him. "Thank you sir." I said while nervously tapping my heel on the floor.
"I'm sure that by now you know that my enterprise doesn't mess around. We aren't limited to bending and even breaking the rules, my girl." He said to me. 'I figured that much already.'
"Yes." I answered responded to the statement. He smiled at me then handed me some pages regarding tomorrow's Junior Games Regetta.
"That's your new assignment. My granddaughter has failed me for the last time so I want you to monitor her tomorrow. If she doesn't advance, report this to me immediately." Zephyr told me. Something felt wrong about this, I could feel it in my gut. He was literally asking me to spy on his grand daughter.
I sighed then took the pages and pamphlets from the table. I nodded to him then stood up from my seat. "You may leave." Marcus told me then I exited the office with info.
"This is getting a little out of my control now. All I wanted was to stay alive and earn some money from this guy..." I quietly said to myself as I made my way to the elevator. 'How did I end up doing this?'

Jay's P.O.V.
I sat in my armory, disassembling and polishing individual parts of my sniper rifles as my father walked into the room. "Hey dad..." I greeted him after refitting the bolt slide for the AX-50 rifle.
"Son, we need to talk..." I read the expression on my dad's face as he's said this. There was something serious going on and he doesn't want to go along with it.
"Mr. Zephyr has a task for you later tomorrow after you complete your race. I know that this is something you're used to but I just want to tell you to reconsider this."
"Reconsider what? If this is about Humphrey Williams, I don't have a problem with doing what I have to do. He isn't really my friend, I told you that."
"I know but you've heard about what happened today. Not a single wolf of Zephyr's private mercenary team made it back unharmed by the six." Dad said to me. He sounded as if he was worried about me. I widened my eyes at my father then quickly stood up from the floor.
"You think I can't handle those guys? I'm not afraid of them, dad!" I snapped at my father, earning a cold glare from him. I apologised then sat back on the floor. Dad sighed then knelt beside me.
"It's not that I think you're incapable, my son... it's because I fear Iris has grown a bit too attached to them and you know how dangerous she can be." He told me. Deep down I knew that Iris would've done this sooner or later.
"Even if it's Iris... I still have a job to do." I said to him then went back to cleaning my rifles. "Just be careful tomorrow." Dad said before standing up and leaving the armory in my room.
I groaned in anger then finished rebuilding the AX-50. I picked out thermo imaging scopes and a suppressor for the rifle then set them aside for tomorrow.
Moments later while I was clearing the room, my dad walked back in with a case to put my gear in for tomorrow. "Thanks dad." I thanked him then closed the door to the armory. 'I still have a job to do...' I thought as I left my room and headed down stairs. 'What's so special about that Humphrey guy if Iris willing turned against Marcus's mercs?' I wondered. I assumed I was going to find the answers I was looking for tomorrow.
Jasper Park
Friday 17:56
Humphrey's P.O.V.
I can't believe everyone still agreed to go on an outing, despite all the trouble that happened today. Shakey somehow convinced us to go out and relax in the park. It was Lilly, Kate, Christina, Garth, Shakey, myself... and Iris this time. It was kinda awkward now that it was seven of us so pairing up for certain activities didn't really work out.
"You're awfully quiet, what's up your bum?" Kate asked Iris as we walked down a hill. It seemed that our new friend also felt that this little outing was awkward for herself aswell.
"Well nothing really. I just feel a bit tired, that's all." Iris smiled as she said this.
"I don't blame you. We all had one helluva day, especially you." Garth stated pointing at Iris's arm.
"It's just a small flesh wound. It didn't run too deep." Iris stated. 'Very poor choice of words when you're around someone like Sam...'
"That's what she said." Shakey said then Princess smacked him on the side of his head. "Ow! I thought you liked my that's what she said jokes!" Shakey said as he rubbed his head.
"To a point! Only when the mood is right for those kind of jokes." Princess said then crossed her arms.
"You two don't seem to be getting along aswell as you used to..." Lilly said to the two wolves. "We aren't?" The pair said at the same time. I chuckled as I shook my head at the two.
"Hey, what are you laughing at it? I haven't seen you get any closer to your own GF." Shakey said to me. "Ouch, low blow dude." I told him then playfully knocked him on the shoulder. Just as Shakey was about to get payback and punch my shoulder, Lilly recieved a message on her phone then we did in less than a second aswell.
I pulled out my phone and read that the message was from Scar. 'Playtime's over, get your asses back here ASAP. You need to get yourselves sorted for tomorrow, remember?
We groaned simultaneously as we each finished reading the message. "Aw shit... we gotta head back home. Why can't we ever have a decent outing?"
"You have a curfew?" Iris laughed at us as she asked this question. "Not really, we aren't 'sorted' for tomorrow's event." Princess told her. "Oh, well thanks anyway for today." Iris said.
"No problem, we're all friends here." I told her as the seven of us reached the car park. Iris walked over to her Corvette with the weird-ass plate then said goodbye. I stopped just as she was about to get in the car.
"We all have the whole day to ourselves tomorrow, if you'd like then we can continue where this group outing left off." I told her. She thought on it for a really long time then nodded.
"Where should we meet?" She asked. I looked at everyone behind us then they all shrugged their shoulders. "How about... at our place?" I suggested without putting thought on it. "You six all live there?" Iris questioned as she raised an eyebrow at us. I felt everyone staring holes into the back of my skull. It would've been easier if they helped me out a little.
"N-no but actually yes. It's a mansion." I blurted out nervously. Lilly grabbed me by the collar, slightly choking me then threw me into the centre of the group.
"Humphrey! What've you done?!" Shakey 'quietly shouted' at me. "I don't know! Nothing was in my head at the time!" I told the group in self-defense.
"Nothing is ever in your head, silly!" Lilly humorously said to me then flicked her finger against my forehead. "Ow!" I exclaimed just a bit too loudly."We gotta find another place to meet up, dumbass, not where we live." Garth told me.Iris poked her head in between Kate and Garth, suprising the two wolves.
"Goddamn! You're sneaky." Garth told her. "It's a skill." Iris smiled as she said this. "So where exactly do you want us to meet?" She asked after obviously hearing what we were talking about.
The group remained quiet until Lilly spoke first. "Fine, the mansion in the Idaho Valley will do fine." She said making the group including myself widen our eyes. "Sure... goodbye I guess." Iris said then got into her car. "See ya." Lilly said to her. Iris then closed the door and started her Corvette Grand Sport. Quickly drove away not long after. "Damn, that girl's got great taste." Garth stated.
Now it was Lilly's turn to get dragged by the collar. She yelped as Kate pulled her off to my car. "You two are really messed up in your heads to think what you did was okay! Claw and Scar will be so pissed at us if they find out that we told someone where we live!" Kate snapped at us. "Sorry but we can atleast trust Iris now. I'm not as sceptical as I was the first time we met her." Lilly told her sister.
Kate face palmed then walked over to Garth's car. As I got in the Mercedes with Lilly, Shakey and Princess entered their car.
"Last one home gets to tell Claw that they're the ones who screwed up!" I said I closed the door. Garth rolled down his window then smirked at us.
"Is that a challenge?" He asked as he revved his 2015 Camaro Z28. I immediately pulled out of the parking spot and sped away from two cars left in their parking.
"Ah, that's a cheap move, Humphrey." Lilly said to me. "Street rules. Without a countdown you can start a race any time." I told her while I drove us out of the park.
I think I've capped on what I can write for one chapter so I have to end this here. I don't think I'll be able to write the next chapter so Blitz will likely return for the next one. I hope everyone reading this enjoyed my two contributed chapters :)
Garth's Discussion Lounge
No wait...
Blitz's Comedy Shorts And Recaps:
Episode IV: A New Writer
Garth: That ending is supposed to make Blitz feel bad about not updating the Need For Speed story. You and E.A. have a lot in common...
Blazin' Blitz: ...
Lilly: This chapter was... definitely something.
Garth: Something good or bad?
Humphrey: Eh... I don't know what to say really.
Lilly: Your writing is somewhat better than Blitz's but... kinda lacking in keeping a few scenes within the plot consistent (same as Blitz) but overall you did good.
Garth: What do you think, Kate?
Kate: Well for one you achieved something in 1 month that Blitz couldn't in 7 months so...
Blazin' Blitz: Wait a minute...
Humphrey: You don't get a say in this.
Blazin' Blitz: Listen here you little shit..
Garth: Fine, what did you think of this chapter?
Blazin' Blitz: I'll express this in a meme: Look how you've massacred my boy.
Kate: Really? I think Garth put the emphasis on 'Extraordinary Life In High School' for this chapter. You massacred you own story.
Blazin' Blitz: I'm serious though. I had a really good plot set out and the school assault thing wasn't even supposed to happen this early into the story, let alone the friggin' CIA agent! Now TMELIHS will be A LOT shorter than I planned. Humphrey, remember the time I showed you the entire plotline for all three stories?
Humphrey: Well yeah but TMELIHS won't be shortened too much, maybe by like
30 chapters.
Garth: It isn't that bad. I mean, I'm just a substitute writer so...
Blazin' Blitz: You've forfeited your writing privileges.
Garth: Are you butthurt that I made the longest chapter for this story?
Blazin' Blitz: Yes, absolutely, 100%. But I respect the fact though. Let's change the subject...
Lilly: How can you say something so controversial yet so brave?
Blazin' Blitz: What? That meme doesn't fit in at all. I am the one and only meme lord of this lounge, take it from me.
Humphrey: (Coughs aggressively)
Blazin' Blitz: General Grievous! You are a bold one. Your presence isn't welcome here in the time of a global pandemic.
Humphrey: How the hell did no one ever think of a reversed General Kenobi meme like that?
Garth: I like the reference though.
Blazin' Blitz: My memeing has doubled since we last met, Garth.
Garth: Good. Double the jokes, twice the humiliation. (OOF SIZE MAX)
Blazin' Blitz: Damnit Garth! You don't have to rub it in like that!
Kate: For God's sake, lay off the laser sword references.
Humphrey: Laser sword... that's just disrespectful.
Blazin' Blitz: She can't say that! Shoot her or something!
Kate: Just make memes of something else.
Blazin' Blitz: Oh that reminds me, I created a new lounge for us to showcase our memes for each chapter.
Humphrey: I already have one...
Memes Of Chapter 25
Princess: "What does that name even mean? Is it 'Locke' as in something else or is it 'Lock' as in 'lock-lock'?"
Iris: [Visible Confusion]
-(Humphrey)-
Blazin' Blitz: Eh... it's okay I guess.
Lilly: Where's the funny?
Garth: It's kinda funny.
Humphrey: Meme is meme!
