Paddle Ball Master

"What the heck is wrong with him today?" Duke whispered as Snake Eyes stalked angrily from the room.

So far today Snake Eyes had been amazingly grumpy. Anyone who got on his nerves today had better run. So far six people had visited the infirmary today with ninja induced unconsciousness.....or they were awake and screaming. He hadn't killed anyone yet thank heavens but with the way he was going.....well.....we won't go there.

"Ripcord's been tormenting him a lot." Scarlet answered.

"With what? He's still alive? He must run pretty fast."

"Yes actually he does. He can, and I quote, "Run like a scared rabbit"."

Duke sighed tiredly. You would think that Ripcord would have learned, since the last incident, to leave Snake Eyes out of his mischief. Last time he had been in the infirmary for three days and still twitching for five more. What was he doing now?

Last time he had pulled the classic water bucket over the door frame, but the bucket was filled with water about the same temperature as the ocean near Antarctica and, unfortunately, Snake Eyes had been outside in the hundred plus degree weather, over-working himself. I had caught him and ordered him to his quarters for some rest or else I would go and get Doc so he could threaten Snake Eyes into submission. Well he was pretty close to a heat stroke and pretty tired so after ordering him about seven times, instead of the usual twenty, he agreed and walked back inside. He opened the door, he was very tired and thus did not see or expect the bucket of ice water. It fell, soaked him, and Snakes went into shock from how cold it was. He was forced to stay in the infirmary for the rest of the day. Needless to say he was not a happy ninja when he got out and Ripcord payed the price. But not without managing to coat Snake Eyes from head to foot in pink paint.

Ripcord had payed for that too and for three days the ninja was not seen due to him washing and scraping all of the pink paint from his uniform and armour.

The rest of us had, secretively, had a good long laugh on that one. After all it's not ofter you see the resident ninja walk by in lovely rosy shade of bright pink. I swear that man is Gothic or something, you could almost see the steam rising from his head as he walked past. It was pretty funny.

Then there was the time he placed a special glue on Snake Eyes throwing stars that only dried when it was heated. The stuff was about as strong as super glue and when Snakes was training he had launched one of his shruiken at his target only to find that it was stuck rather firmly to his fingers.

That was funny too.

We were all in the gym when that happened. He was doing his usual training junk, you know leaping off the walls, triple back flips, very fancy and impossible stuff. When suddenly he just stops and stares at his hand tilting his head to the side. The rest of us watch as he flicked his hand trying to get something off and when he couldn't huffed angrily. We looked closer to see one of his finely polished shruiken in his hand. He attempted to pry his fingers away from it and that was about the time we realized that it was glued there firmly.

Ripcord probably would have gotten away with that one if he hadn't burst out laughing and said it was a stroke of genius and could't wait to see how it would work out. Snake Eyes had walked to him and stood over the hysterical man with murder written clearly in his body language. The rest is inappropriate for me repeat. It ended with Hawk having to intervene and more ninja induced unconsciousness.

"What is he doing now?" I sighed.

"Well let's just say that he found out that Snake has not yet mastered everything."

"What?"

At that moment Ripcord walked over to Snake Eyes playing with two paddle ball paddles, one in each hand. The repetitive thunk, thunk, thunk causing Snake Eyes to glance up from his meditation and stiffen.

"Hey Snakes look, two hands!!!" He shouted.

There were a few tense seconds before Ripcord turned and ran, narrowly dodging a chair flung at him courtesy of a ticked off ninja.

I shook my head and groaned. Would those two ever get along? I was getting tired of having to clam Snake Eyes down and haul Rip to the infirmary twice a month.

The rest of the day consisted of Ripcord barely avoiding a severe pummeling from Snake Eyes who was inching steadily closer to becoming a psychopath. There were a few moments in the day when I debated whether it would be a good idea to call Doc to put Snakes in restraints until this thing blew over. He was starting to twitch. Ripcord must have a death wish or something.

It was the end of the day and if this this thing wasn't over by tomorrow I was getting Snakes in restraints, medication, and therapy while I had a long talk with Ripcord about our resident ninja and laid down some new rules from him.

Said annoyance was currently sitting next to me, still going at it with the paddle ball but now only had one due to Snakes breaking one in half. The steady thunking was beginning to grate on my nerves as well.

"I think I just made a new record." He grinned at me.

"Rip you have to stop this." I told him with a sigh.

"Why? This is ridiculously fun."

"Because Snake Eyes is this close to killing you and losing his sanity forever." I responded gesturing with my fingers.

"But I finally found something I'm better at than him!"

"Ripcord please I'm not in the mood for any more of you're pranks is that under-" I stopped as I realized that the steady thunking had ceased.

As Ripcord noticed this he turned and held up his paddle with a confused expression on his face. The elastic string hung without its little rubber ball.

I heard a noise behind and we both turned to see Snake Eyes leaning against the wall smugly, twirling a pair of kitchen scissors on his fingers and holding the red rubber ball between his fingers and a tiny bit of string dangling from it.

"Oh that's just cheating." Ripcord blurted out. "This was my last one man!"

Snake Eyes simply nodded and walked off.

Oh yeah those two would just fine. That is until Ripcord thought of some other way to torture Snake Eyes.
