Chapter 1
First Mission…
Back at the same school that the Resistance was spying on, Uotani addressed the plan to Tohru. She was dressed in a black uniform, with a black skirt and wig.
"I feel like a mean girl…" she sobbed, "Why do I want to spy on this school, so badly?"
Uotani said, "Now, now. In order for your training to be perfect, you must infiltrate the school that Chef Hatchet was in. Remember…"
Tohru stated, "You never told me about it. I mean, how would I know if he's-?"
"Relax." Hana hugged her and said, "You'll know, soon enough. If you get in, Chef will know you as one of them. This school was a breeding ground for delinquents of ALL genders."
"How so?"
"Well, they never use teachers. They always kill them."
"What?"
Arisa nodded and said, "I'm afraid she's right, Tohru. This school is corrupt. However, it's only a front for Chef Hatchet's run, including a pay-off to Romeo. However, that man is working for another. There was a pay-off… and he paid in Canadian currency. I believe we know who would pay off, in such a manner."
"Who?" Tohru asked.
Arisa smiled, "You'll see… Now get in character, and stop Chef."
"Before I ask… Who's Chef?" Tohru smiled.
She walked in the school and tried to get into character, as a mean girl. She stepped inside the school, which was all vandalized and strewn with litter. As she was panicky, outside, the rest of the girls were concerned.
Mio huffed, "This'll never work…"
Hana said, "Patience. Tohru has got this one, under control."
However, heavy breathing was made. It was Tohru's own breathing. She was hyperventilating.
Arisa spoke on the mini-microphone, "Tohru! Tohru! Calm down! Over."
Tohru whimpered, as she replied back, "I can't do this… This is scary, like something out of a Hell… Over."
Minami laughed, "HAH! That witch is a baby! Baby Tohru Honda~!"
Arisa said, "Don't listen to her. Over."
Tohru sobbed, "I just did! What does this have to do with this mission?"
Uotani explained, "It's okay. Just meet with Chef Hatchet, report every detail, and come back. Don't wuss out, okay?"
Tohru calmed down and stepped into the classroom. She sat down and was quiet. A few of the students were staring at her. One of them asked her, "So, you new here?"
Tohru replied, "Uh… Yeah."
One student, with a black jacket and piercings, asked, "Hey, don't you usually mouth off, after you make a compliment?"
Tohru smiled, "Not really. My Mom was like that, but…"
The boy sneered, "I thought so. Not getting your genes in sync. Your mother was a hot broad, going through a bunch of badasses."
Tohru growled, "Stupid… She's not-. Wait."
She yelled, "Don't you dare say it to my mother!"
A woman in long black hair and makeup snuffed, "She's such a primadonna. Get used to it, newbie."
Tohru was nervous, as she asked, "So… When does Chef usually come?"
The woman asked, "Who? The guy that paid off Romeo? Bull-crap. He's selective, whenever he's prissy. Besides, Romeo was to get the job done, but he never returned."
Tohru asked, "Who's he? Something about him seems familiar. Chef, I mean…"
"You ever heard of Total Drama?"
"No. But I have seen such movies with someone I know of…"
"Who? Chris McLean?"
"Yeah! I heard of him, in that zombie flick that my friend… uh, I mean, some of my bitches snuck in to see."
The boy in piercings smirked, "You're getting there. You need to swear, a lot, just to be a bad ass."
Tohru nervously said, "Uh, thanks."
The boy replied, "I must say that you had some balls in you. What's your name, kid?"
She responded, "Uh… It's Toh… Toh, uh…"
She huffed, "Actually, it's T-Honey!"
She groaned to herself, "Aw, man… That was awful…"
The boy smirked, "Nice to meet you, kid. Wicked name there, T-Hon."
Tohru smirked, "Thanks…"
She thought, "Perfect! They're buying this…"
The others listened in, as Hana nodded, "She's good."
Mio groaned, "Seriously? T-Honey?"
Uotani said, "You gotta fit in…"
Minami snapped, "Shows what you know, Yankee!"
Uotani whispered, "Quiet, you fatheads… You want to blow our cover? We now know who Chef was working for… and I was right. Chris McLean… the Newfoundland Numbnut."
Hanajima exclaimed, "He's the devil in this alternate world exposure…"
Mai said, "I'm surprised that she snuck into a movie, just to know him."
They stared at Gotou, as they continued to listen.
Tohru asked, "Tell me more about him? Chris, I mean…"
The boy smiled, and said, "Well, the guy is such a tool. He humiliated boys and girls we know, only for the sake of ratings. We should be the ones, doing so, but lately, the whole mind fucks we get… It's not fun, anymore."
Tohru asked, "So… What did Chris the Loser do?"
He explained everything, "He once did a show, in a small island, engulfed in toxic waste. He even buried a corpse of a hot girl, all while shooting the newest season. Luckily, the Mounties came and took him away. He was bailed out, after that."
Tohru gasped, "How terrible…"
Hanajima asked, "Rei Tachibana?"
Mio nodded, "Yes. Died of possible poison consumption. Was buried in Wawanakwa, but her corpse mysteriously disappeared."
The boy continued, "It gets worse… He escaped, wanting to host his own show, without use of his regulars. Notable is that he uses temps and interns to take his bullets. Now, they were out of guinea pigs. However, the body of that sexy piece of ass was mysteriously disappeared."
Tohru nodded, "I see… Fool must've got what he deserved."
The woman laughed, "Please. Anybody would love to have their hands on killing Chris, after all the bullshit he has done."
Tohru laughed, "Oh, that would be an honor. Besides, his movie was atrocious. It's not good-minton or great-mintion; and they ain't even vocab words. One day, I'd slaughter that guy on his huge cleft…"
She smiled, as she blushed, "I'm getting the hang of this."
The woman smiled, "You're cool. You got some wicked ideas, sister."
Tohru winked, "Ah, whatever!"
Arisa whispered, "She's got it going…"
Minami smiled, "You know, I think we had Tohru all wrong… and here we thought she'd mess things up."
Mio replied, "How'd ya figure? She hung around with that Yankee and Electric Girl, just to know the bad girl street cred."
Hanajima thought, "I don't think that's it…"
Tohru relaxed, as she was offered a cigarette. She promptly refused, as the boy huffed, "Eh. Your loss. But it's better, anyway."
Tohru smiled, but then asked, "Uh… One question… What do you do here?"
A huge boy in a male school uniform called, "ONE SIDE!"
He sat down in front of Tohru and said, "Pay attention, kid. Class is starting…"
Tohru snapped, "How'd ya figure? There's no teacher!"
"Oh, good one, new bitch! You don't recall anything, since you were in a school of dumbasses. I would teach you a lesson, but I couldn't. But I never bother beating you up, on account they always cower away, before the fight. That's why I am called Masa (of Default Victories)."
Masa asked Tohru, "Never seen you here, kid."
The boy responded, "Masa… This is T-Honey."
"T-Honey, huh?" Masa stared, as Tohru gulped.
"Uh… You, uh, have a problem with me?"
"No. I see you as a timid girl, than a juvie."
"No, what are you talking about? I, uh, once…"
"Snuck into a movie theater? Hah! I bet you shoplifted some bras and panties in Coconut Mall…"
"NO! I, uh…" She thought, "Focus, Tohru…"
She slammed her fists and shouted, "I once evaded the cops, after my recent money stealing project!"
They all gasped, as Masa smiled, "Big deal."
"And… I even threw rice and sushi all over a clean hallway and blamed it on some nerds. Got expelled, but I don't care!"
Tohru was overconfident. The Resistance Girls were puzzled, along with confusion.
Minami huffed, "I take back what I said about Tohru…"
Arisa gasped, "Rice in the halls, and blamed it on nerds? That's stupid!"
Mio said, "On the plus side, she's getting into her inner bitch."
Hanajima said, "I don't think she is. He electric waves show NO signs of black. Besides, she's too nice for all of us."
Arisa said, "Maybe so, but what difference does it make? We'll meet up with Chris McLean, when this is over… after we shut this hideout down."
They continued to listen in, as Tohru was still in a combination of confidence and cowardice.
Say THAT three times fast: "Combination of Confidence and Cowardice"
She panicked, "How long before Chef knows me?"
Masa smirked, "He's picky, whenever he is ordered around. To be honest, Hatchet doesn't want to be messed around. The guy's a fudgin' freak. But his records checked out."
Tohru asked, "How so?"
The boy replied, "Guy was a drill sergeant."
"DRILL SERGEANT?!" She gasped, as she was nervous, "That guy was an army soldier?"
Masa laughed, "You get freaked out, a lot, don't you?"
Tohru pouted, "Sorry. Mother usually… I mean, I have been soft, but I've learned how to be bad, unlike a One-Hit Wonder."
She barked, "I'll have you know, I wanted to be bad, since I did many bad stuff. But I never want to be intimidated by such a loserly army sergeant! He can push us around, but he's no pussy!"
Arisa cringed, "Tohru… You moron…"
Tohru then snapped, "Don't tell me to become a freaked-out spaz, you spaz!"
The girl smirked, "T-Honey's got balls."
Masa grinned, "You convinced me… but you're still a spaz-wit."
Tohru sat down and huffed, "Hmph! Next time, do some research about me! Freaked-out, my butt!"
Masa thought, "She hardly swears… Something about her seems odd."
Tohru asked, "So, uh, does Chef come around?"
Masa thought hard, as the thugs continued to chat, while 'befriending' Tohru.

Meanwhile, in his private office, Chef Hatchet, a huge dark-skinned man in a chef's hat and apron, got the phone call from an undercover guy that worked for McLean.
"Get this kid, over here, Hatchet," he spoke, on the phone, "Kid's name is T-Honey, which could be an alias."
Chef nodded, as he learned of something else about Tohru, "I looked up at her credentials. Get this: expelled after trashing the school with rice and sushi, shoplifting in Pianta Village, and sneaking into a movie theater. She is so badass, and also, very stupid. I have records of this girl, and there is no T-Honey. However, she could be for real. Get close to this newbie of a bitch."
Chef smiled evilly, as he left.

Meanwhile, Tohru was completely in confidence… all while she's being in scared feelings.
"This is too much," she thought, "Already, I meet such nice people. With a shady past… and Chef is not here, yet."
She nervously asked the boy, "Uh, why do you always hang here? Is it your home away from home, or something?"
He responded to her, "Well, no. I live close-by, after school. I may be a juvenile thug, but I do have a home. Sadly, it's not much, since the universe is all fucked up."
He stammered, "I'm sorry. You're too gentle for our barbed-wire verbs."
Tohru smiled, "Oh, I, uh… No! No! I'm just used to it… Whenever I meet new people, I grow very nervous."
She sighed, as the girl huffed, "You need to grow a set and start doing shit that is ballsy. Of course, you have women parts, literally, but you have the spine of a chicken."
Tohru snarled, "I don't… I just don't act mean, all the time… If you're done berating me, as a fuck-up, you try to grow a set of your own!"
She gasped, "Oh, sorry! I… uh…"
Masa smiled, "She's close."
Tohru sighed in relief, as Chef stepped in.
"Listen up, you dirty kids!" He called out, "Today, you maggots are going to help out the big man! I want you guys to take these spray cans and vandalize the Town of Citysville!"
They all cheered, as Chef added, "Except for one person. Which one of you privates is T-Honey?"
Tohru was nervous, "So… He's Chef?"
Arisa said to Tohru, "That's Chef Hatchet. He's Chris McLean's right-hand man. I want you to-."
Static was made, as Tohru stared at him. She whispered, "Uo… Uo!"
The Resistance lost the reception. Arisa cried, "TOHRU! HEY!"
Minami whimpered, "No… We lost her…"
Chef called, "Come on, you maggots! Which one of you is T-Honey?"
Masa said, pointing at her, "That's her, behind me. She's the air-head with the criminal sheet… and a brain of a blob."
Chef went to Tohru and stared her down, "So… You're the T-Honey that got Juvie for Rice Ball Hall…"
Tohru nervously asked, "Uh… Me?"
"I like thugs like you, because they always make me in a fierce mood."
"Uh… I am not scared of you…"
"Oh, yeah? Almost every thug is scared of me. I love intimidation, and I dish it out, on the thugs like you. But, I don't see you as a thug… I see you… as a puppet on a string."
He bellowed, "What's your name, before you were T-Honey?"
Tohru responded, "UH… Uh… Toh… Toh… Toooooh…"
She stammered, as Chef yelled, "WHAT WAS THAT?"
She sobbed, "Uh… Tohru Honda… sir…"
The boy snickered, "Tohru Honda? What a wussy name… But I guess T-Honey was perfect… Honda, however, has some thrust."
Chef snickered, "So… I think you must be very good for someone who is a delinquent. Allow me to give you a private lesson. Meet me in the hallway, three o'clock, in the Teacher's Lounge…"
They gasped, as Tohru was chosen.
The girl cried, "Lucky bitch! She gets the chosen mission from Chef!"
The boy whispered, "Give 'em hell, T-Honey. Excuse me… Honda."
Tohru nodded, but thought, "I better say it loud, in front of the Drill Sergeant man…"
She smirked, "Big d-deal, Chef Assface… You think someone l-l-like you can give me a challenging mission? I rather slam my head in a car door… you b-b-brick headed fucker."
She shook in fear, as Chef smiled evilly, "Good… You have some class. Meet me at three. 3 o'clock – the Teacher's Lounge – today… and DON'T BE LATE!"
He left the class, calling to the others, "The rest of you, get to the gymnasium, and PRONTO!"
They stormed off, as he shouted, "DOUBLE TIME! HUP-TWO! HUP-TWO!"
The girl whispered to the boy, "That T-Honey has a real mouth."
The boy smiled, "I like her… Let's hope she succeeds."
Tohru was trapped in a brick wall, in the form of a chef.
"I'm dead…"
It was one in the afternoon. Tohru contacted Uotani, even though the reception was fading.
"Rice Ball to Yankee," she called, "Rice Ball to Yankee… Come in… Do you copy? Over."
Arisa responded, "Tohru. Thank god. Did you meet Chef?"
"Yeah, I did. The big guy was simply into me, out of evil retort. He wants me to meet him, in the lounge, at three."
"Excellent work, Tohru."
"Sorry. Remind me, when we finish, to feed some edible soap in my mouth. I am so bad… saying all those bad words."
"No, don't be so bad. You have a chance. We just need to learn more, from Chris McLean. Hopefully, we can have this bad world mess-up fixed."
"I'll call you back. I must be on-time, for the meeting. He said it'll be at 3. Right now, it's 1:20."
"All right, Tohru. But, one thing first… Make sure that NO ONE knows who you work for…"
The boy, from earlier, appeared, and spotted Tohru, speaking in the corner. He called to her, "Hey, T-Honey!"
Tohru whispered, "Hang on. That's one person I know of. I gotta go. Over and out."
She said, "Yo, wassup, bro?"
"Who were you talking to? We know that you're a unique bitch, but…"
"I, uh… Oh, it was not-. HEY!"
He snatched her microphone, from inside her shirt, and shouted, "A-HA! I KNEW IT!"
Tohru cringed, "Uh… You know me… but… Oh, man. I'm busted."
The boy smirked, "So, you're a spy, huh? You were wearing a wire, just to get close to Chef Hatchet, huh?"
Tohru was backed, behind the wall, in tears, pleading to the boy.
The nightmare continues…
Next chapter, we learn of Chef's job. But how will Tohru handle the job, without reporting to her friends?
