Outsider: My Apathy

Second Chapter! Tell me if the story fits with the title and summary! :)

Reveiw, even if you think it sucks! :P


The cold wind buffeted her face, as the 'Coyote' gained more speed. Her legs were bent in an offense stance, while his were in a squatting position. He pointed up and then stuck his hand out to the side, she paid close attention as the hand swayed slightly.

'How is that possible?', her mind tried to wrap around the whole concept. A while ago, Roadblock had signaled them that the wind was 70 MPH, and Snake eyes's hand showed that there was barely a breeze.

Snake eyes stomped his foot, to get her attention, "Uh-yes sensei." He showed her his palms and then began to 'whiegh' them.

"You want me to balance?", he nodded and pointed at her blade. She looked down at it, "With my sword?"

When she stood, the wind almost knocked her off the 'Coyote' completely, but she remained standing. Sensei was staring at her, obviously wanting her to start already. She swallowed, and threw her hand to her side. The wind viciously caught her hand, and dragged her back. She quickly grabbed the sword from it's holstor, and alligned it with her left fore arm in front of her body. Her lungs desprately took in air, as her right side dangeled with the wind current. Her right knee stuck out, trying to anchor her body, while the left foot struggeled to find a hold.

'Damn.', she grit her teeth, the current was really strong. Her vision was blurring from the wind stinging her eyes. She looked up and saw a figure, "Sensei?"

The figure reached a hand for her and leaned down, "Not quite."

Her eyes widened ,"What have you done to sensei?" The answer was a foot to her chest. Her right leg lost balance and she began to slide off the back. Her arms tried to pull her up, and she clawed at the metal trying to get a hold. Then the figure reached for her only anchor, the blade.

"No!", she screamed trying to fight the hand away, but kept her body kept slipping. The hand grabbed the blade, and pulled it away from her hands. She watched helplessly as the figure walked away, throwing her blade off the side. Suprisingly she was still holding on, but then the current pounded her face and arms, dragging her away.


"Uh, we need some help, Snake eyes.", Duke spoke into the communicator. But no answer "Snake eyes do you read me? Snake eyes!"

"Any luck?" Scarlett called as she held her Plasma Pulse Crossbow, at the bioviper's neck.

"No, dead signal.", Duke punched a viper in the stomach, only to be thrown across the room.

"Tunnel Rat, take the high grounds!", Scarlett yelled, when she shot the viper in the face.

"OK! I'm on it!", he quickly scurried into the secret room and was lifted to the manual, plasma cannon, "Al'ight , you sick sons of a b-" He began to shoot, at an approaching viper.

"RoadBlock!"

"Red, not to be rude but, I'm kinda in the middle of somthing!" He began throwing punch furies when his amo ran out.

"Good, I'm gonna check the roof so cover here.", she began climbing out the window.

Roadblock mumbled an okay, when Scarlett's head popped back inside.

"Oh and Duke is kinda passed out.", she said eyeing the body under the pile of weapons. Then she was gone.


"Snake eyes? Jinx?", Scarlett was walking cautiously around the roof. "When did all this fog get here?", she tried to make out anything in the fog, but her eyes narrowed when she saw movement allitle ways in front of her.

"Who are you?", she yelled, quickly running to where the movement was. She shot into the fog, trying to clear it. Her eyes diverted to a black suited body laying on the edge.

"Snake eyes!", she dropped her weapon, and kneeled down beside him. She checked his pulse, and was relieved when she found one.

She was pulled away from his body, "What the h-". A noose was tightening around her throat, she thrashed around struggiling to breathe, but the perpetraitor wasn't letting up. Her hand reached up and clawed at the eyes, the attacker tried to fight her off, but loosened the noose. Released, Scarlett threw a high kick at the stumbiling attacker but missed.

She lifted her fists ready to fight. The attacker stopped and stood tall. Scarlett could tell it was a woman, 'Baroness!' Then they charged at her, fists clenched tightly. She braced herself, it seemed to go in slow motion: She moved right, straight out of the attack, but was suprised when a foot shot a her jaw, and made her twist back, then the enemy began a fury of punches. Scarlett couldn't escape the atacks, so she kicked, punched, headbutted, but each either missed or were countered.

Pain shot up her back, when she was kicked, her body shooting far back. Her body arched in both pain, and wanting to stand, but the enemy stepped on her hand, twisting the flesh. She held back a scream of pain.

"I knew it! You are not to be trusted!", she yelled.

"Jinx?", Scarlett looked at the young girl, confused.

"What do you think your doing? I thought we had a truce!", fury began to boil in her, she thought that Jinx would no longer attack her.

"I didn't promise anything with you! So say your last words 'cause I'm going to end you right here, right now, bitch!", a dagger slid from her forearm cover. She raised it, ready to mutilate Shana. Scarlett's eyes widened, she was going to die and she couldn't anything to stop it: her body was heavy.


Jinx stood over the person who hurt sensei, she had seen the whole thing and she was gonna wipe her exsistance fom this earth. She raised her dagger, eyes blazing with fire. She heard a scuffiling and turn slightly, then she felt a swift force tackel her.

"What the hell! Let me go!", Her wrists were held down, and someone used their body to stop her from moving. She tried to get a clear veiw but the fog, didn't let her, her nose scrunched in disqust, who dared to stop her? She flexed her fingers, gripping the dagger ready to cut something, even if it wasn't Scarlett.

She then remebered a way out: she thrashed around, distracting the person, and she slowly pulled her legs into a bent position, when that was accomplished, she slid them under the person's stomach, and pushed with all the force she had. The person's body, landed two feet away on their back, Jinx stood and walked over to the body, completely ignoring Scarlett. She kneeled next to it and grasped the thick neck. 'Hmm, Sensei was always astounded with my strength', she pulled the body up and held the dagger at the neck.

Then her wrist was forcibly grabbed, and they tightened even more making her drop the dagger. It pulled her hand off it's neck. She fell on her knees as her hand was being twisted, her face scrunched in complete pain. Then she was forced to look up and see a black and gray body suit.

"Sensei!", her pupils shrunk, and her gaze fell to the metal underneath. The fog had finally cleared, reaviling the rest of the Joes. Their gazes burned into her, and when she looked closely she saw Scarlett one arm around Duke for support. No one said a word, but a new guy named Ripcord, came out and put cuffs on her wrists. When she was being walked/jumped off the roof, the Joes just stared at her. Water slipped from her eyes when she caught a glimpse of Snake eyes helping Scarlett.


"Did we really have to put her in cuffs? 'Cause she's just a kid.", Ripcord said, watching her through the survelliance camera they'd just instaled.

"She attacked Scarlett and Snake eyes.", Duke sternley answered.

Ripcord turned to see Snakes putting some stuff on Scarlett's face, "Hey Red, you okay?"

"Yeah, it's just a few cuts and bruises", she said reasuringly, "and a couple of broken bones." Just as she had said that Snake eyes took hold of her upper arm and pushed it back into place. Ripcord curled his lip at hearing the bone pop into place.

"So are we gonna ask her questions or som'in?", he asked, but everybody's face hardened. "Okay..."

Three Days Later

Jinx sat in the place where they'd store the weapons, but they moved those out, just so they could move her in. They had also installed a surveilance unit, to keep an eye on her. She felt like a child who was in time out, but above all she regretted even coming, she was just a big screw up. Even Scarlett was a better apprentice than her, and she was the 5th one Snake eyes trained. But she was the first, so she should've been the best 'accomplishment', but she wasn't.

She sighed, not wanting to compare herself to anyone else. She rested her head on the wall, when the door leading to the seats and everything, opened Duke came in holding some clothes in his hand.

He threw them to her, "Here, change into these." She caught them and began to evaluate them.

"Why?"

"It's been days, and you haven't changed, so there you are.", he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned on the wall.

"I have to change in here?", she argued.

He turned around, reached for the camera and put a black lid on it, "There." He turned around and leaned on the wall again.

"Do you have to be in here, while I do it?"

"I covered up the surveilence, so yes, I need to be here."

"Well?", she stood up looking at him.

"Well what?", he said getting annoyed with this prissy girl.

"Turn around!", she pointed at the wall, he was leaning on.

He grumbled, as he turned around. When she gave him the 'clear', he turned to her. She was wearing a black tank top, a black leather jacket with tight black jeans, he swallowed, but shook his head when inappropriate thoughts came to mind. His right hand grabbed his left jaw and squeezed.

"Wait", he suddenley thought of something.

"What?", she said

"How did you change your clothes, if you had cuffs?", his eyes went to where she sat and sure enough there were the cuffs. He grabbed her arm tightly, "How did you get out of those?"

"I used a bobby pin.", she said flatly.

"That's it!", he reached in his back pockets, and pulled out something, "I thought, I'd EVER have to use this."

"Hey, wait- What are you doing?", she said as he loomed over her.

He took off the lid, and left. Jinx then really felt stupid, now instead of having cuffs, she had a shock collar. She sat in misery, her plan was now in the shithole. Everything she wanted to start, or be ended in complete failure: being a loving daughter, being Snake eyes's aprentice, and being a good Arashikage master.

She sighed and closed her eyes...


"Snake eyes...", Scarlett softly said, putting a hand on his shoulder for comfort.

His eyes stayed on the screen, Jinx was sleeping. Underneath his mask a smirk appeared on his lips, Scarlett had chosen the clothes well. But the smirk didn't last long, he turned to Scarlett.

"I don't know why she attacked me or you.", she sighed turning away.

He pointed at Jinx on the screen and shook his head.

"Your apprentices, don't fight like that? What do ya mean?"

He made a fist with his hand, and shook it.

"Coldly?", he nodded at her interupetation.

"You didn't teach her to fight so coldly, so then why would she fight in a way you didn't teach her? She would never do or use something you didn't teach her.", He looked at her woundering the same thing, but had a guess...

"Who attacked you?", Scarlett and Snake eyes turned to the screen, Jinx was talking in her sleep.

"I know it was her, so why do you insist on trusting her sensei? She's a poison, and she's flooded your veins with her poison. You of all people shouldn't be doing this, you were the one who told me to not get close to anyone! And here you are, falling in love with her!", Snake eyes stiffened, when he heard her say that, it stung to know that's what she thought of him.

"Snake eyes?", Scarlett asked.
