Part 7: That Darn Kat
"Does Grant know you borrowed his car?" Rose asked doubtfully, though she already knew the answer.
Back at the mansion…
"Joey? Have you seen my car?" Grant asked
Joey only shrugged as he watched TV.
"What he doesn't know won't hurt him. Sides, I'm team leader and I've got dibs on his ride," Kat retorted with a grin.
"That's kind of twisted," Rose told her.
"I know! And besides, my bike is still in the shop and I don't think my Knightrider was built for two people," Kat smiled at her, "Isn't it sweet? Now let's see what tunes are on the radio?"
Kat was speeding along the road in an emerald green convertible with a golden bull symbol on the hood. Obviously, it belonged to Grant a.k.a Zodiac Knight ARMS. However, it didn't seem like Kat cared nor respected Grant's personal space.
Kat was dressed in a black tank top that had a red cat symbol on it. She also had on a pair of tight blue jeans and high heeled boots. In her hair was her trademark black bow ribbon. Next to her, in the passenger side, was Rose. She was in a baby blue halter top and a black miniskirt that went to just above her knees. On her legs was a pair of knee high black platform boots. Her beautiful white hair blew in the wind gracefully and Katherine couldn't help but stare.
"You should keep your eyes on the road, Kat," Rose advised.
"Why? Nothing on the road is pretty," Kat complimented, making the silver haired girl blush. "Now, where should we go? The drive in? The night club? A fancy French restaurant that specializes in fish?" Kat listed.
"Only you would like the last one, Kat," Rose giggled.
"What? I like fish!" Kat pouted.
"I know," Rose smiled. They stopped at a stoplight. At the same time, another car filled with teenage punks pulled up beside them.
"Hey sweetcheeks!" one called out!
"Aooogah!" another one howled.
"Oh, I think I'm in love," another one, a black guy, swooned mockingly.
The punks continued to do cat calls and wolf whistles at the two girls. Kat was getting annoyed. She replied, "You know, that's not the way you should speak to a lady."
"What're you gonna do? Spank us?" the jerks laughed.
Kat and Rose looked at each other and giggled.
"Yep!" Rose began.
"And here's the paddle!" Kat sent out a blast of pink energy at the car. The car slowly fell apart starting with the wheels and then the engine blew out. Finally, only the frame remained. The thugs screamed but the two girls ignored them as they sped off.
"Jinx, right?" Rose asked.
"Yep! Nice power that girl has. But she really doesn't know how to use it to her advantage!" Kat laughed. Rose laughed as well as they continued on their way. Kat suddenly stopped. There was a traffic jam. She tapped her fingers on the steering wheel.
"Why is there a traffic jam at 8 pm?" she hissed.
Rose shrugged, "Who knows."
"Well, sometimes you got to make way," Kat's eyes glowed white as she chanted, "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" the car began to glow black and levitated into the air. Rose gripped her seatbelt tightly as the car began flying.
"We're flying!" Rose exclaimed.
"Raven's power," Kat explained, "Really useful, but needs a lot of concentration." She advised Rose, "Hold on tight!"
Kat continued on their way and got to the drive in. Kat saw what was playing and stuck out her tongue, "Yuck! James Bond."
"You don't like James Bond?" Rose asked.
"His movies are all degrading to women. Women don't just drop their panties and go to bed with the first pretty man they see who's a charming flirt," Kat gritted her teeth, "So what if he's a wonder in the bed if he's an insensitive jerk!" she gripped the steering wheel tight. Rose noticed this and sweatdropped.
"You have issues with men, huh?" Rose observed.
"Not much. Just a few. My ex-boyfriend especially," Kat told her.
"Who?"
"Don't wanna talk about it," Kat replied coldly.
"Sorry," Rose looked hurt.
Kat sighed, "Sorry. I just don't wanna talk about it, kay Rose?'" she drove in and bought two tickets, "Let's watch the movie."
"I thought you didn't like James Bond," Rose stared at her.
"I don't," Kat shrugged, "But while we're here, might as well." She parked into an empty space, "Want anything? Candy? Soda? Popcorn?"
"I'll have anything you'll be having," Rose told her, "We'll share."
"Okay," Kat got out of the car, "Be right back."
Rose smiled as she saw Kat's retreating form, "She's so sweet," she sighed, "In a crazy cat kind of way."
Kat was at the refreshments stands to see someone standing in line. He looks familiar… she thought. Of course, his back was facing her. She went over and tapped him on the shoulder.
"What?" he said, not bothering to turn around to face her.
"Listen, could you hurry up? My friend and I want to get some refreshments and I don't have all day!" Kat told him, feeling a familiar vibe coming from him.
"Well, just wait," he shot back.
"That's no way to talk to a lady!" Kat snapped. The guy finally turned.
"Why can't you just be-"
The two finally got a good look at one another.
"YOU!"
To Be Continued…
Uh-oh. This could be trouble. Now who else is at the drive-in? You know who I mean, right? Well, it's gonna be cats and dogs. Now, let's end the chapter with a card review.
FUSION VENT
Known User/Owner: Zodiac Knight Shadowcobra.
Function: Fuses two or more monsters together to form a more powerful creature.
Review: This card has been used on several occasions by Shadow since he joined the team. The first was when the Titans were facing Cinderblock, Overload and Plasmus, who then combined to form Ternion. Shadow used this card to combine Dragonzer, Cerberus and Genosnaker to even things out. The second time was when Shadow combined his three monsters, Genosnaker, Metalceros and Stingdiver, to form Genocide. This card is very rare and Shadow is the only known holder of this card at this time. This card is very powerful with its effect as the monster created has the combined power of all the monsters used to create it.
