Chapter One
2 Weeks Earlier
Ring Ring, wake up Teal. Ring Ring, wake up Teal.
Teal's alarm had suddenly taken her out of her infernal slumber, and she sat up quick. She had recorded the custom alarm on her cell phone, which was actually her mothers voice, because she knew that it would wake her up. She wiped her eyes and moved her arms apart, opening her bedroom curtains to bring in the early morning light. She got out of her bed slowly and made her way to the bathroom. Another day of hell, she thought as she washed her face, and took a quick shower. She was out in a matter of minutes, and changed into her school uniform. The smell of bacon hit her nose when she walked downstairs, and met her mom in the kitchen, who was cooking breakfast.
"Oh mumuse, you're up." Asai Yakima said, smiling at her.
"Morning mommy." Teal said, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"You brushed your teeth? I don't want you kissing me with a smelly breath." Asai joked.
"Yes mommy, I brushed my teeth." Teal said and rolled her eyes playfully. "What's for breakfast?"
"Something simple, just some bacon and eggs. Did you finish your essay last night?"
"Yup. Took me forever, but I did it."
Asai finished making the breakfast and put some on a plate for Teal, handing it to her. She quickly ate her food, grabbed her bag, gave her mom a kiss, and was on her way to school. She took out her phone from her uniform pocket and plugged in her headphones, putting them in her ears. Music had definitely taken her into her own zone, and she basically tuned everything around her out. While she was listening to her music, she suddenly stopped. She held her head and closed her eyes, a vision creeping up inside of her mind.
The vision was simple, just a little kitten stuck in a high tree about a couple of blocks away from where she was at. She opened her eyes again and looked at the time on her phone.
"8:45...I got 15 minutes. I'll make it to school on time." She said to herself.
She began running towards where her vision was, and sure enough there was the kitten she had seen in the high tree.
"Aww...kitty." Teal said. "Here kitty."
The kitten looked down at her and meowed. Teal began climbing the tree, and made her way to the top.
"Come on kitty. Come on." She said again, inching closer towards the kitten.
It moved away again and Teal groaned, trying her best to get as close to the kitten as possible, without falling. She looked down and seen that she was a long way from the ground, then looked back at the kitten. When she was finally close enough, she held out her arms and said, "Come on kitty." again. This time, the little kitten ran up to her, and she picked it up with ease.
"Okay kitty, time to get down." She said, before sliding down the tree again.
When she was on the ground, she let the kitten go, and it ran back towards an elderly woman, who was crying with joy. That must be it's owner, Teal thought. She smiled to the woman, who mouthed "thanks you" in return. She finally looked at her phone again and realized that it was 5 minutes to nine.
"Shit! I'm gonna be late!" She practically yelled. "Okay Teal. Time to put your fast, track star abilities to work."
She began running as fast as she could, casually dodging oncoming pedestrians and cars (when she crossed the streets), while she was running, she looked at her phone again.
"3 mins left. I got this."
She was about a block away from the school, when she started picking up the pace even more. 2 minutes...1 minute...she thought as she saw the school rapidly approaching. When she got up to the school, she immediately ran inside and made her way to her first class.
"30 seconds. Come on!" She told herself.
She quickly ran up the stairs and down the hall, where her AP Chemistry classroom was. She made it, opened the door and quickly sat down in her seat, just as the first bell began to ring.
"Ah, Ms. Yakima. You finally made it on time to my class." Her teacher, Mr. Achoa said. "Barely."
Teal sighed with relief, and took out her chemistry book from her bag.
The class began as usual, very boring. She would tune in and out every couple of minutes, and look over to see the rest of her classmates sleeping, or nodding off to sleep. She was beginning to fall asleep herself when her mind starting running again. Another vision. She turned to a blank page in her notebook and began drawing the vision that she was seeing. This was another simple vision, and it was something she had drew thousands of times before. Just a picture of her, in the principals office, with the assistant principal, sporting a far too familiar frown on his face. She was still confused, because the principals chair was turned around, and she couldn't see him.
Suddenly, the classroom phone began ringing, and Mr. Achoa picked it up.
"Hello?...Yes she is...okay...okay, I'll tell her right away...okay, bye." He said, hanging up the phone. "Teal, I don't know what you did this time, but you are wanted in the principals office."
When she got to the principal's office, she was greeted with the familiar frown on her assistant principal Mr. Chang, just as she visioned.
"What?" Teal said. "I wasn't late today!"
"I know that, but you're due for a student evaluation. Did you forget?"
"I was trying to." Teal smirked.
"Watch your mouth, young lady." Mr. Chang said. "Now go into Mr. Havana's office, he's going to evaluate you."
Teal waved him off and walked into the office. The principal's chair was facing away from her, like in her vision,and she sat down on one of the other chairs.
"Teal Yakima?" A female voice said from the chair said.
"Yes?" She said. Something wasn't right. The voice definitely did not sound like Mr. Havana's. She visited the principal's office so much that she could automatically detect his voice from a mile away.
"You are Teal Yakima, right?" The voice said again.
"Yeah I am, but who the hell are you?" She said.
The chair suddenly turned around and Teal saw a woman sitting in it. The woman smiled, but Teal just got her a glare in return.
"You're definitely not Mr. Havana." Teal said.
"You're right, I'm not." The woman said. "I'm Helena Kovac, and I work for Jubilee Corporation. You've heard of JCo, right?"
Jubilee Corp was one of the major worldwide corporations, besides the Mishima Zaibatsu and G Corporation. They weren't as big as the other two businesses, but they surely was getting there.
"Yes." Teal said. "But why are you here?"
"I'm pretty sure you know about the war we are having with those other two companies." Helena said. "And we have pretty good hunch that the Zaibatsu is planning something. Something huge, and possibly destructive."
"And you're telling me this because..." Teal started.
"We need someone to get inside of there, and tell us exactly what they are planning. G Corp has the same hunch, but we're not letting them find out before us."
"So you want me to go inside and find out?" Teal asked. "Thanks, but no thanks. I seriously think you have the wrong girl. I'm just a normal 18 year old high school senior."
"Ha, see. I knew asking wasn't going to work." Helena said, shaking her head. "So I'll go to my original plan, which is forcing you."
"What are you talking about?"
"We know all about you, Teal. You are the daughter of a native Japanese woman, and an African American former United States Army Ranger who was based here in Tokyo. Your father was killed in action 3 years ago, and now it's just you and your mother. You are an 18 year old high school senior, but your far from normal. You are what we at Jubilee like to call, a Sorceress. You practice a certain type of special, but dangerous powers. Powers that have been in your family for generations. You are the perfect candidate for this type of job, and you will carry it out."
"And if I don't?"
Helena smiled and held out a video camera, which show a picture of Teal's house. "This is where you live, is it not?"
"Yeah."
"Now we wouldn't want your precious mom to 'accidently' get blown up while we blow up your house also, would we?" Helena said, as she pulled out a small detonator from the drawer. "I press this button, and boom. She's gone."
"You wouldn't."
"Oh? Would you like a quick demonstration of it? I doubt you'd have a house or a parent left, though."
Teal sighed and shook her head. "No ma'am."
"That's what I like to hear." Helena said, handing her a folder containing papers. "That's a little bit more about what we want you to do. Who you should look out for, and so on."
Teal opened the folder and began looking inside. It was way too much to read at the moment, but one picture caught her eyes.
"You wanna know why else we chose you, besides your powers?" Helena said. "We know that you have sort of a history with the head of the Zaibatsu."
"Jin..." Teal said quietly, while looking at his picture.
"Exactly, you two are pretty good friends, are you not?"
"We were, years ago..." Teal said.
"Then it should be sort of a bittersweet reunion for the two of you, right?" Helena said. "I'm done here. You can go back to class, but you are to be at our headquarters as soon as your get out of school, do you understand?"
"...Okay."
Teal walked out of the office, and bumped into Mr. Chang again.
"You could've told me what was going on." She sneered at him.
"Well, that would have taken the fun out of the surprise, wouldn't it?" He said.
"Whatever." She said, walking away.
