Meiriona: That is the general idea
Disclaimer: I don't own the character Ghost. Also this is a remake of my original 7th chapter (I thought that I could do better)
Ghost
David was packing for a vacation. He was planning to go to Las Vegas.
And he was planning to get there via motorcycle. So, thus he had to pack lightly.
He was wearing the Red X suit under his clothes with the cape unattached and in a suit case along with the mask and gloves.
Well technically it wasn't a suit case it was more of a back pack.
Anyway, when he got all of his stuff packed up he put it all in the motorcycle.
This motorcycle is also known as the X-cycle. He had installed a second color scheme into the bike, so now it could be the X-cycle, an invisible bike, and a red and blue bike.
He loved his bike.
David was now outside the Jump city limits.
In all honesty he thought that riding a motorcycle is much better then driving a car.
After several hours of driving (and several rest stops) he could finally see Las Vegas.
I suppose it's time to come clean. David had two reasons for coming here. He first planned to gamble, see some shows, and other stuff. but his original intentions for coming here was so that he could rob some of the casinos. After all he was a thief.
He quickly found himself a hotel and began to walk out. When he was out of the lobby he was witness to a thief taking a purse from an old woman. The thief was almost right in front of him.
David couldn't help it. He stuck his foot out.
As planned the thief tripped and fell onto the ground. On his descent David grabbed the purse from him.
The woman finally got to them. David handed the old woman her purse which she replied "Thank you" she then turned and beat the thief with her cane "Asshole"
David then turned and continued on his way to the casino.
About five hours and gaining 500 dollars later, David was ready to steal.
This time, however, it was all about him. He planned on stealing money from a local casino, and he was going to keep every cent of it.
Red X stood atop the hotel. He could visibly see his target. It was kind of hard to miss.
It was a tall building that had green and red lights shining up onto it, you'd have to be blind not to see it.
He used a grappling hook to climb about half way, then another to get to the top.
From there, he climbed into the vents to get to the main room of the casino.
He then proceeded to rob them blind.
He had about half a bag full when he noticed something. A little red dot moved around over the desk he was working near.
It disappeared from sight. Instinctively X ducked, that was a good thing too, because a bullet was shot at the exact place he would have been.
X ran behind a slot machine as he heard several shots being fired.
Using the angle of the shots he figured that the shooter was just near one of the card tables.
He fired a smoke x and tried to fume him out.
He heard a cough.
'He's there!' X thought as he jumped from the safety of the slot machine to face down the shooter head on.
X flipped over the card table and tried to punch the shooter. The shooter dodged the shot and proceeded to fire a machine gun at Red X.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Elisa Cameron (aka Ghost) stood on a roof top overlooking a casino where shots had been fired. She had been listening to the police radio so she knew that the infamous Red X had been sited there.
She was a regular sized woman. She had tan skin and brown eyes. Her uniform consisted of skin tight, tan, clothing and a hood. She had a belt that had weapons and other goodies in it.
She looked over at the casino and jumped off the building. She did a flip in the air just for kicks and disappeared with a pop.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Red X used an x to cut the gun in half.
The Shooter rolled away and pulled out a syringe. He then proceeded to inject himself with it. His muscles bulged and got bigger.
"Oh, shit" Red X muttered.
The Shooter merely smiled.
"So why are you attacking me?" X asked.
"I was hired to kill you." The Shooter answered without missing a beet.
"Who hired you?"
"I'm not telling you."
X frowned. So they were going to have to do it the hard way…
The Shooter charged at X. He his fist to punch X but X slipped under him.
The Shooter quickly ducked the electric x that X sent at him. He quickly rounded on X and delivered a punch to X's stomach.
X literally flew back and into a slot machine. The slot machine proceeded to spit out little gold coins.
X got up. He felt pain. Ohh there was a lot of pain.
Now, a little while ago, during Red X's and the Shooter's discussion, neither of them heard the small pop that signaled that there was one more person in the room.
Ghost watched the fight intently. She was going to through both of them in jail.
Red X got up just in time for the Shooter to grab X by the neck. He then squeezed.
X formed a razor sharp x in his hand and slashed the Shooter's arm with it.
The Shooter howled in pain and backed up. That was when Ghost decided to strike.
She teleported in front of him and kicked him right in the face.
He fell back and landed with a thud.
Ghost turned to Red X "Hello there, who wouldn't happen to have been robbing this place a little while ago were you?"
X's head turned downward from her face "Nice rack"
Ghost blushed. That was uncalled for. "Hey, my face is up here"
"Oh sorry, I didn't notice, but to answer your question: yes I was. Why, do you intend on arresting me or something?"
"Actually yes, that's exactly what I am going to do."
"Wrong, that's what you're going to try to do and end up failing miserably" Red X said.
"I have a better idea" Ghost said "I'll kick your ass and drag you to jail."
"Is that a challenge?" Red X asked getting into a fighting stance.
"I believe it is." Ghost said suddenly disappearing and then reappearing in the air with a kick to X's face.
After the kick she teleported above him to dropkick him in the stomach while he was in the air.
X hit the ground with a thud.
Ghost smiled. 'That was easy' she thought.
Unfortunately she had just jinxed herself.
X jumped up quickly and slashed at her with a razor-x.
She jumped out of the way and tried to kick him again, but X grabbed her leg and threw her across the room.
While this was taking place the Shooter was coming around. He looked up at the fight. He then jumped to his feet and charged at Ghost (who had not recovered from being thrown across the room).
He grabbed her by the neck and proceeded to squeeze.
X, who had seen him charge her, jumped at him. X landed on his back and shocked him again. Unfortunately he also shocked Ghost in the process but he wasn't caring to much about that.
X looked over at the Shooter. He would be waking soon. X shot an x that morphed into a giant sticky glue at him. It was the very same stuff he used on Beastboy.
X looked over at Ghost. He could just leave her here. But then again the cops might think that she was a thief, and he didn't particularly want an innocent person going to jail. That was just wrong.
He picked her up and teleported to the roof. There he shot up another firework-x and left her there. He then teleported back to his room in the hotel.
Ghost awoke about five minutes later. "Fuck!" she said to herself. That was the first thief she hadn't caught. She looked over the side of the building at the cops.
They had the gunman in custody.
And she had a thief to catch.
X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Meanwhile in Gotham city…
Two men were digging up a casket in a graveyard.
One of them hit a coffin in the dirt.
They then pulled the coffin out and onto a truck that they had driven here.
The headstone behind the hole said the following words:
In Loving Memory
