Part 13: Shall we Dance?
Pluto's wings spread out and he flew like a rocket, following after the drone and Blackfire.
Meanwhile, in the Mirror Dimension, Copycat was having her own problems.
"Ugh!" she grunted as she was slammed into a wall. She shook her head to get her bearings back and focused her sights on her opponent. She snarled, "You have officially ticked me off!" the Shieldaphant trumpeted loudly before grinding its feet on the asphalt. "And quit with that trumpeting!" she drew a card and slid it into her whip. "Strike Vent!" her giant clawed gauntlets materialized and she leapt off the wall and straight at the monster with both her claws straight out. "BANZAI!" she shrieked as she slashed at the monster. Unfortunately, her slashes were no good as the thing was blocking her with its shield. "Aww…fish sticks!" she groaned before a well placed fists slammed into her face and sent her flying into a water fountain. She stood up, her armor completely soaked, and none too pleased. "I HATE WATER!" she leapt out of the fountain and lunged at the Shieldaphant. The elephant monster merely lifted its shield up and at that moment, Copycat slammed into it, (KLANG!), and slid off almost comically. Her eyes turned into swirls and tiny Roses were circling her head.
"Ow…" she groaned, holding her aching head. That was when she noticed that the Shieldaphant had its foot up, ready to stomp her into submission. She froze. She was gonna die.
Of course, that would've happened if not for some assistance.
"DRAGON COMBUSTION KICK!" A flaming red blur roared as it slammed right into the Shieldaphant, knocking it into the water fountain. The monster blew up, destroyed, and its energy ball was absorbed by Dragonzer. Draco landed on his feet and said cockily, "Need some help, sis?" he extended his hand but she slapped it away. He shook his hand. "Geez, you're a touch crabby."
"I didn't need your help!" she scowled, "And that monster was mine!"
"Well, you have a date to get back to, remember?" he reminded. She froze.
"How…how," she glared, "Were you spying on me?"
"Maybe…" Draco said innocently, "…Maybe not. Who knows?"
Copycat sighed and muttered, "Thanks," before walking off and into a nearby mirror. Draco shook his head and smiled under his faceplate. He looked to the skies, "Now it's your turn, Shadow."
Pluto was still going after the drone. Unfortunately, the drone was flying fast and into space. Pluto frowned. Now how am I supposed to breathe out there? He then remembered something and mentally slapped himself. The helmet! Doi! I almost forgot that it helps me breathe in none breathable environments. He then picked up his speed and flapped his wings faster. He was beginning to gain on that thing. Almost there…
"Let me go you stupid mollusk!" Blackfire screamed as she struggled against her bonds. She tried to use her eyebeams but they did little damage. She groaned, "Great, they've had upgrades."
"BLACKFIRE!" Pluto yelled out. Blackfire heard this and saw Pluto quickly getting closer. "Take my hand!"
"Um, Pluto?" Blackfire began, "I'm a little tied up at the moment!"
"Oh!" he drew his sword, "Don't move!" he slashed his weapon down, severing the tentacles and catching Blackfire in his arms. She smiled and would've given him a kiss if not for the pesky helmet.
The drone then turned back around and was joined by 3 other drones. They then charged. Blackfire and Pluto looked at each other, grinning before letting lose Blackbolts, eyebeams and lightning bolts at the drones, completely reducing them to ashes.
Meanwhile, on the Centauri Police Ship, the captain was anything but pleased. He shouted, "Send out the rest of the drones! I want that Tamaranian wench captured, dead or alive!"
"I don't think that is necessary, Captain," hissed a voice. The captain turned.
"Who is that? Show yourself, intruder!" The captain demanded. The intruder then walked into the light, revealing him to be no other than Shadowcobra, fully armored. The Captain snarled, "State your business!"
"You are to cease all attempts to recapture the criminal, Blackfire of Tamaran, immediately," Shadowcobra said firmly.
"And what makes you think we will?" The crab man asked.
Shadowcobra reached into his pocket and pulled out a badge, "Because by order of the treaty between the Centauris and Deathtrons, Blackfire is now under my custody, Commander Shadowcobra of the Deathtron Secret Police!"
The Captain was taken aback by this, "Never!"
"My dear Captain," Shadowcobra hissed, "You do know that as stated in the treaty regarding the alliance of the Deathtrons and the Centauris, a Deathtron officer is allowed full custody of a wanted criminal and since I am a representative of the Deathtrons and I outrank you…well, you know what this means. You have to honor this treaty and allow me to take full custody of the fugitive."
The Captain shook, outraged. "Very well. I'll cease all attempts to recapture the prisoner," he obeyed, reluctantly. "And call off the drones."
"Thank you," Shadowcobra smirked under his helmet. "It's been a pleasure doing business with you, Captain. We will meet again." Shadowcobra formed a shadow portal under his feet and phased through. The Centauri Police Captain slammed his arms onto the console.
"Oh, we will meet again…Deathtron…" he snarled.
Pluto and Blckfire were back on the roof of the warehouse, tired from their adventure. Pluto changed out of his armor and breathed out deeply. "That…was…intense," he admitted.
"I'll say…" Blackfire blushed, "Thanks for…rescuing me."
"A Knight's job is to rescue a damsel-in-distress," Takada winked. He then heard the music again. "Hey, a slow song." He grinned, "You know what that means, right?"
"You betcha!" she laughed, grabbing his wrist. "Let's go!" she zoomed the two of them back in through the skylight and landed on the dance floor. All of the couples were dancing, embracing each other, all, but one.
Rose was sitting at the bar, completely depressed. Kat had not returned and she was afraid something bad had happened to her. She leaned against the counter and sighed.
Several guys had asked if she wanted to dance and she said no. She had been left alone for quite awhile until this one guy forced her to dance with him, grabbing her arm.
"Hey!" Rose shouted, "Let go! I'm not dancing with you!" she struggled.
"Oh, c'mon babe! You know you want me!" the guy grinned lecherously. He then felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned, angered, "WHAT?"
"Hey, meat-sack!" Kat called him, "She's with ME!" Her knuckles then made contact with his face, knocking him completely out. Rose was glad to see her.
"Kat!" she hugged her and Kat hugged her back. "Did you get it?"
"Um…" Kat hesitated, "More or less…"
Rose beamed, "Tell me later. Come on! Let's dance!" she ran onto the dance floor with Kat in tow. Kat had no choice but to follow after her.
Now, Takada was dancing with Blackfire, his hands on her hips and her hands on his shoulders. It was the prefect moment
Later, after the rave/party, Kat and Rose returned to the Wilson Mansion with an angry Zodiac Knight ARMS waiting for them.
"You took my car…" he growled threateningly.
"Yeah," Kat smirked, "What about it?"
"THAT'S IT!" ARMS reached his gun, "I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF YOU DISRESPECTING ME! PREPARE FOR TARGET PRACTICE!" He then noticed something peculiar. His gun was gone, "Hey, where's my gun?" he then saw that Kat had it in her hands with a malicious grin on her face. "Uh oh."
"DANCE FOR ME! DANCE FOR ME!" Kat cackled as she rapidly shot at ARMS' feet. He had no choice but to jump and skip to avoid his feet from getting shot. Rose sweatdropped and shook her head.
To Be Continued…
ZK Chromedragozoid: Well, that's a wrap! Takada and Kat finally had the dates they've dreamed of with very little interruptions. Will Pluto ever found out that the bet is off since Draco had taken out the monster? Knowing him, guess not. Oh well…you win some, you lose some.
