*Warning: This may be LONG. Someone might get left behind.*


Crystal woke up the next morning, still groggy from her sleep. She didn't remember what happened last night. She was worried about the date. What happened? She shrugged to herself and walked to the contraption room. As she opened the door, she saw that her machine was on. She wondered why. It SO better not be Hitomi! she thought angrily. Wait a sec...this means SOMEONE came into this room! She swore if she saw Hitomi in there again... She turned off the machine and picked up the camera from the corner of the room. She pressed a replay button of what happened the other night. She was shocked that Hitomi wasn't in there, but Kasumi and even Ryu?! How the hell did they get in there?! That freaking German girl! She chucked the camera at the ground. It broke into pieces.

"That's it," she roughly whispered. "You're done!" She exited the room, went to her desk, and opened a drawer for something to kill Hitomi with. She found a weapon: A stapler. She grinned quite evilly. Just then, she heard chattering and footsteps in the hallways. She put her stapler away and peeked from the office door to see what's going on. Everyone was in their swimming suits. She guessed they were going to that pool outside the school. Crystal will need to blend in and kill Hitomi secretly. She went to her closet far in the office and picked out a black bikini top with matching black jean shorts. She needed to be modest for her character. Otherwise, if she chose a G-string, it would just be so weird. She changed and got the stapler. She hid the gun in her back pocket and walked out of the office.


It was Saturday! According to the school rules, during the weekends, if the weather is reasonable, you can go to the school pool. Everyone wanted that, so they went to it. Outside, they arrived at the pool. Some decide to swim, some others wanted a cool dip, and the rest just wanted to relax near the pool and chat up.

Christie found a lounge chair and sat on it. She had her sunglasses on. She was just relaxing...and relaxing...and rela-Suddenly, she heard, "KOWABANGA!" and water splashed all over her. She shot up from her chair and looked at who the hell did that. She saw Bass. She gritted her teeth at him, got one of her sandals, and threw it at Bass's head. He turned around and saw her.

"Watch what you're doing to other people, thank you very much!" she yelled as she sat on the lounge chair and began to rest again.

"Sheesh, sorry," he apologized. Tina was with him.

"I fought her before," she said. "You don't want to mess with her. It's like she's as sharp as glass." Bass understood.

"Tiiiiiinaaaaaaa!" yelled Zack from far. Tina sighed.

"Hey Daddy, can you get him off my tail for me?" she asked her father.

"Hell yeah. You can count on me!" Bass answered. Tina swam away. Bass was ready to beat the crap out of Zack for his favorite daughter.

...

Ayane hid her kunai in her jacket she tied on her waist. Her plan was to kill Kasumi in secret in a far place with no one noticing. Her plan was going to intiate, until Mei Lin asked, "Can you swim with me, Onee-san?" She got confused by her nickname.

"Onee-san?" she said.

"Please?" She shot her huge puppy-dog eyes. Ayane couldn't deny it. Still, she needs to kill Kasumi and be done with it! But...she should relax for a bit.

"Sure," she answered. Mei Lin smiled as she dragged Ayane to the pool. Ayane didn't get her "mission" off her head though.

"Onii-chan!" Mei Lin called out to Eliot.

He turned and said, "Yes, Mei Lin?"

"I brought On-Ayane here so we could play!" Ayane couldn't believe she was going to waste her time playing around, but she couldn't deny Mei Lin and her puppy-dog beg look she had. Once the playing is done, the "mission" can start.

"Okay...what are we going to play?" Eliot asked.

"Marco Polo!" she suggested. "Just like back at granddaddy's place. We play it all the time!"

"Marco Polo?" Ayane said, confused. She's never heard of the game.

"It's kind of like Hide and Seek, Ayane. Except, you close your eyes and find us when you say 'Marco' and we say 'Polo'," Eliot explained. She understood. He looked at Mei Lin. "But, the pool is kind of a little too crowded to play the game." Mei Lin frowned.

"But..." She looked like she was going to cry. Ayane cheered her up before Eliot did by saying, "But that doesn't matter! It'll make the game even more fun!" Mei Lin suddenly looked happy and smiled.

"Okay! I'll be the finder! You hide somewhere in the pool." She closed her eyes and waited for the two to hide. As Ayane and Eliot were hiding under the water, Kasumi, who was playing with Hitomi and Leifang, suddenly bumped into Ayane. The violet kunoichi's head hit the floor of the pool, causing a bloody scratch on her forehead. She got up from the water and checked who bumped her. She saw no one. Well, SOMEONE bumped into her.

The scratch on her forehead stung, so she got out of the water as soon as possible. She looked for something to cover her head with. Suddenly, she herd Eliot coming out of the water too. "Are you okay?" he asked. She turned to him and covered her bleeding spot.

"What about Mei Lin?" she asked him.

"She'll be pretty busy looking for us at that pool." Eliot leaned closer to her, making her blush.

"Wh-what?!" she asked.

"What happened?" he asked.

"N-nothing! Now go back into the water!" Eliot grabbed Ayane's hand and made it reveal Ayane's bloody scratch on his forehead.

"Oh god. You need to go to the clinic," he suggested.

"No I don't! And let go of me!" Eliot released Ayane's hand.

"'Oh sure. I'm just going to get a disease since I don't need to treat this.'" Ayane was getting furious.

"Fine, you asshole! I'll go to the freaking clinic!" she admitted.

"I'm just saving you from trouble, you know." Eliot went back to the pool to find Mei Lin finding him. Ayane growled as she found a napkin to cover her wound with and headed to the clinic. Suddenly, she saw Crystal coming in.

"Oh, Ms. Lake!" she said.

Crystal saw the bloody napkin on her forehead. "Aww, going to the clinic are you?" Ayane nodded. "Go ahead." Ayane went into the school to find the clinic. Crystal thought, I think I should rest up.

...

Kasumi was playing a ball game with Hitomi and Leifang. They just need to keep the ball in the air for the longest time. It was Leifang's turn to keep the ball in the air. When she was doing that, she suddenly bumped into someone and to make it even worse, the ball hit the back of their head. Leifang sweat-dropped. Crud, she thought. "Uh...sorry," she apologized. The person turned. It turned out to be Jann Lee. He stared daggers at her eyes. Double crud!

Hitomi and Kasumi got the ball and apologized to Jann Lee. He said it was alright. Leifang apologized as well. He told her it was fine. They went back to playing. Jann Lee rolled his eyes and got out of the pool. He laid on a lounge chair and started to take a nap. He suddenly splashed by water. For the love of- he thought. He opened his eyes and saw Leifang popping out of the pool.

Freaking hell! Jann Lee started to sleep again. Then...

"I brought food and drinks!" yelled an injured Zack. Jann Lee couldn't take it anymore. Oh well. He was a bit hungry, so he woke up and got to Zack's food and drinks.

...

Crystal was resting up so she could have enough energy to kill Hitomi. She tried to act not-so-out-of-character. Meanwhile, Hitomi can't stop thinking about Crystal's plans. Ayane didn't seem to believe it though...and she doesn't know if Kasumi and Ryu went into the room or not. She should probably stop stressing about it and play her game with Kasumi and Leifang. Just then, she missed the ball and it hovered out of the pool.

"I got it!" the karate girl called out. The ball hit Crystal's leg. Hitomi got out of the pool and got the ball. "Sorry, Ms. Lake."

"It's okay, Hitomi," she said. She tried not to got out the stapler.

"So, uh, you're out here too?"

I don't want to kill you in front of everyone! Crystal thought. "Yes, I am."

"Okay! Aren't you going into the pool?"

This stupid... "No thank you. I'm fine here."

"Alright. We could hang out-" Crystal shot up from her seat so quickly, it scared Hitomi a little.

"Shouldn't you go play with your friends?" she asked, very annoyed. Yes, she'll kill Hitomi, but not in public. That would be very stupid of her to do so.

"Oh, right! I'll see ya later, Ms. Lake!" Hitomi ran to her friends. Crystal looked to see if everybody was busy and let out a small evil smirk as she reached out for her stapler.

...

Hayate was talking to Ryu in the pool. Ryu told him what Hitomi said was true for real. He told him everything. Hayate couldn't believe this. No one here is safe then. Including all the ninja here.

"We're going to need to get everyone out of here then." Like Hitomi said, there shouldn't be another catastrophe.

"Alright. When you do that, I will assassinate her." Ryu and Hayate both felt something was going wrong. Just now, they felt it. They were ninja after all. Hayate was the first to notice Crystal...with an open stapler aiming at Hitomi's head. Ryu then noticed.

"No..." Hayate ran to Hitomi as Crystal shot a stapler at her. Hayate blocked her way. Hitomi noticed.

"Haya-" she said before the staple stabbed his chest. He grunted. Everyone stopped doing what they're doing and looked at Hayate's bleeding chest and Crystal with a stapler.

"F*ck..." she swore. She looked around. Every pair of eyes that were there was looking at her now. "Damn it!"

Hayate removed the straight staple from his chest and threw it into the pool, dying it with his blood. "You...you were going to kill...Hitomi...weren't you?" Hitomi was horrified. She knows? How? Was there a- She didn't even finish her thought. What she was going to think WAS the reason she knew. Hitomi felt so stupid.

F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! Look what you've done Carrie! Look at what the hell you've done! Crystal thought angrily. Damn ninja!

Maybe it's about time I told the truth, Hitomi thought. She spoke up. "I know why she was going to kill me."

"You do?!" Leifang asked, very shocked about the situation.

"This school is a trap, everybody! Crystal only wants all your strength!"

"Shut up!" Crystal yelled.

"She's right," added Kasumi. "Me and Ryu saw it ourselves!"

"There was a machine, so that's no doubt," added Ryu.

Hitomi nodded. "Right!"

Crystal hissed, "They're all lying! That's bullsh*t!"

"Oh yeah? And I think it's bullsh*t that you swear!" Bass yelled.

"Yeah!" finished Tina. "You've never swore! Not evah!"

Crystal gritted her teeth. "Fine! I got Ayane in the building anyway! I'll get her strength!"

"No, you're not!" Eliot yelled out as he got out of the water. "Someone look over Mei Lin for me!" Christie did the job as Eliot ran into the school. He doubted that he'll leave Mei Lin to that woman, but it's for the good! Crystal laughed insanely as she ran into the school with the stapler.

"Onii-san!" Mei Lin cried. "ONII-SAAAAAN!"

"Your brother will be back, I promise," Chrsitie said to comfort the girl. That WAS unlike her, but Mei Lin kind of reminded her when she was the girl's age. Her mother would calm her down with that voice, so why not?

"What are we gonna do then?!" Tina asked, kind of in a horrified tone. "All my stuff is in the school!"

"Yeah! Mine too!" added Kokoro. Suddenly, everyone got out of the pool area and went into the school.

"Wait!" Ryu yelled out. Everyone but Ryu, Kasumi, Hitomi, and Hayate left. "That's just great."

"What are we going to do?!" asked Hitomi frightened. "We need to save them all, but Hayate's hurt!" Hayate tried to get out of the pool, but cringed at the pain in his chest. Hitomi supported him.

"I'll go guide them out of the building. Hopefully, Kasumi must've learned healing ninjutsu by now, right?" She nodded. "Get Hayate out of the pool and heal him. When you're done, get out of here as fast as you can." Everyone nodded as the super ninja disappeared.

"I'll be fine..." muttered Hayate. "It's just a stab." Kasumi used healing ninjutsu on his bloody spot. It was healed.

"I know all my stuff is in the school," said Hitomi as she looked back at the school. "But we need to get out of here right now."

"What about Ryu?!" asked Kasumi. "I...I don't want to leave him!"

"I know him well. He'll be okay," said Hayate. The three climbed out of the pool. "Hitomi, cling on to me."

"Why?" she asked.

"I'm going to transport far from here. Kasumi, can you do that on your own?"

"Yes," Kasumi answered. Hitomi held onto Hayate. In a second, the three disappeared far away from the school.


Eliot outran Crystal and arrived at the clinic. She hoped Ayane was still there. He opened the door and saw Ayane laying on a cot, sleeping. He went to the cot and shook her awake.

"Ugh! What?!" she yelled as she noticed Eliot. "What are you doing-" Suddenly, he grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the clinic. "Hey! What the hell?!"

"We need to get out of here!" said Eliot. "Crystal's gone mad!"

"What?! That's-"

"Got you, Ninja!" yelled the crazed "principal". Ayane turned and saw her with a opened stapler. What the hell?! she thought.

"Told you!" Ayane had no clue what's happening.

"I need your power! Your strength! Ninja!" Yep, still no clue. Still, Crystal looks like the enemy, so they must be away from her from all cost. Ayane used her teleporting ninja skill with her and Eliot and they appeared outside the school. Eliot was panting, probably tired of running.

"Thanks..." he managed to say.

"You're welcome," she said. It's rare for her to use her manners unless she was talking to someone she respects, but hey.

"Wait a sec...where's Mei Lin?" They both looked back at the school. "Crap...we have to get her!" He cling onto Ayane. "We need to get back at the school."

Ayane was blushing again. Why was she doing that? "Wh-what are you hanging onto me for?!"

"Get us back in the school! Please!" Eliot begged.

"But I thought it's dangerous!"

"Ayane! Mei Lin is a little sister to me! I don't want to leave her in there to die! She's that important to me! Please Ayane!" He sounded serious. Ayane can be heartless sometimes, but after what Eliot said... They disappeared and reappeared at the school. They both find Mei Lin together.

...

Ryu was showing the rest of the school where the exit was. Suddenly, the exit was locked. All of them were. Damn it, Ryu thought. And I didn't bring any weapon here. Great.

"We're stuck here?!" yelled Lisa.

"Even if you all run, I'll find you!" shouted Crystal's voice from far.

Suddenly, Bass and Leon both charged to the door and it surprisingly opened. Ryu thanked them. Everyone escaped...but Bass, Leon, Ayane, and Eliot. Ayane and Eliot JUST found the exit.

"Hey, do you see a little Chinese girl come by?" asked Ayane.

"She just left with everyone else," answered Leon. Eliot sighed in relief.

"Okay, let g-" Ayane was saying until she felt something sharp pierce her shoulder. She let out a scream. She took out the straight staple and threw it to the ground. She saw Crystal. She was holding the stapler like a gun. Ayane winced at the pain of her wounded shoulder. She covered it with her hand.

"And just where the hell are you all going?" Crystal asked. Her hair was messy and so were her clothes. "School isn't over yet."

"To hell with your 'school'!" Leon yelled. He got into fighting position. "I'll slow ya down."

Crystal chuckled. "Try!" She threw the stapler away and got into fighting position.

"Go!" Leon ordered Eliot, Ayane, and Bass. "Go and flee while you can!"

"But we can't just leave ya behind!" Bass said.

"I don't want a b*tch like her to rule the damn world or whatever the hell she wants. Now go!" Eliot and Ayane fled out of the school. Bass hesitated for a bit, but fled as well. Leon smirked at Crystal. "You'll fight like a girl anyway."

Crystal also smirked. "Bring it on, bastard!" The two began fighting.


Everyone else was outside the school, at last! Ayane and Eliot arrived at the crowd. Mei Lin stood next to Christie.

"Onii-san!" she cried as she ran and hugged Eliot. "I missed you so much!" Eliot hugged her back.

"It's alright, don't worry," Eliot said to comfort her. Ayane smiled at the sight. She felt like she did the right thing.

"Everyone, follow me," ordered Ryu. "We need to find somewhere to hide." Everyone agreed as they all followed Ryu.

"Master?" Ayane asked Ryu. Ryu saw her wound and used healing ninjutsu to heal the wound. The wound disappeared. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it," he said. He was thinking about Kasumi, Hayate, and Hitomi. I hope you are all safe, he thought.


Crystal staggered from Leon's blow. Damn, he's strong as hell, she thought. I can't lose! What could I use? Just then, Leon punched her in the face. She crashed into a wall. His blow was that tough. She stood up and spit out some blood. "Is that all you got?!" she asked in a madwoman manner.

"I was about to ask the same question!" Leon laughed. "You really do fight like a girl!" Crystal took off one lace from her bikini top. "Yeah, like I'd fall for you like that."

"I just needed to feel comfortable fighting." With better speed, she managed to distract Leon with a punch. He blocked it, but then, she kicked him where every man doesn't want to be kicked at. She punched him, sending him to the ground. She kicked him several times at the stomach, then at the head. She looked at him as he lost consciousness when she kicked his head. She sighed in relief and headed to her office. Obviously, thanks to Hitomi, she has to find the rest of the school and get all their power. Crystal knew how to do that. What's not so obvious?

She looked at her closet and found a ring. It was her wedding ring. She picked it up and evilly grinned. Perfect! she thought. She went to the contraption room and used a cord to transport the technology in. She laughed evilly. "You're all mine...MINE! MINE!"


Phew! Sorry. This was rushed. What do you think of it?

I don't hate Leon. In fact, he's awesome! I just needed him to be left behind because I'll possibly forget about him after. And sorry to make you read Leon getting the crap beaten out of. Crystal's advantage is speed, something Leon can't handle, right?

R&R! F&F! I'll see you all later! :D Oh, and tell me if there's any typos or anything!
