AN: I don't own MI High, or anything else you recognise. I just own Demi, Jamie, David and Patterson. So, we are on chapter 50! That's awesome, I've never written something this long before! Thank you all for your continued support of this story, by commenting, reading and following. I dedicate this chapter to all of you guys!

Demi's POV.

I was sat in my English class listening to Mr F read us a book. Well in all fairness, I wasn't really listening. I was trying to think about what had happened. If that wasn't AJ, does that mean I still have a half-sister out there? Someone who has no idea who they are? As I continued to stare out the window, I felt someone kick the back of my chair. I turned and saw Jamie looking at me with concern on her face. "You OK?" She mouthed at me. I nodded, and she raised her eyebrow. "You sure?" She mouthed again.

"Yes." I whispered. As she went to whisper something back, McNab began talking,

"Headmaster, don't you think it would be better for the pupils to learn the classics?"

"That's precisely the point Mr McNab. Blade Quest is a classic." Mr Flatley replied. Oh that's what we were reading? Great. I had seen Jai read it once, I think. She said it was good, so I'd taken her word for it. Will we have to do a test on this? As I looked around the room, only Tom and Roly seemed to be paying attention. Guess there wasn't going to be a test then. "The story of good versus evil is a tale old as time itself. And Luke Blade sets a wonderful example to the youth of today." Mr Flatley said, beginning to walk to the back of the class. "You can put me in chains, but you can never take my spirit." He recited, as I nodded. I have no idea what he's talking about. I looked behind me to see that both Jamie and David looked as confused as me. As Mr F continued to speak nonsense, Tom and Roly stood up and spoke with him. Was that a quote from the book? Once they'd finished, the bell rang, and David, Jamie and I left class together. We stopped at Jamie's locker, and David spoke. "So, you going to Blade Con?"

"Oh yes, totally." Jamie sarcastically said, putting her maths book in her locker. David rolled his eyes, and looked at me.

"What about you Dems?"

"Tom will probably make me go. Why?" I asked, leaning against the wall.

"I was wondering if you wanted to come out with me instead. You know, we could go bowling or something." David said, running his hand through his hair.

"Sure. Why not?" I said, smiling. Jamie smirked.

"Aww, how cute. Sorry, I can't go, wouldn't want to interrupt the date now would I?" She joked, as I stuttered out,

"I-I-It's not a date!" She smiled.

"Yeah sure, whatever you say Dems." David rolled his eyes again, before wrapping his arms around me from behind.

"It can be a date if Dems wants it to be." He whispered, as I sighed.

"Whatever guys." As Jamie went to speak, I saw Tom approach us. He glared at David, causing him to let go of me.

"Hi Demi. We're needed." He said, showing me a flashing pencil. I put my hand in my pocket and pulled out my communicator. It was indeed flashing. I nodded, and said bye to Jai and David. "So are you two together now?" Tom asked. I shook my head.

"Nah. We're just friends." I said. Things were really awkward between us. We arrived at the cupboard, joining Dan, Aneisha and Zoe. Once we entered the base, my father began to explain our mission. "There's been a series of thefts of highly advanced scientific equipment from laboratories around the world." He said, showing us a series of about 12 pictures of scientific equipment. "Dan that's what I want for my birthday." Aneisha said, looking at a red crystal on the board.

"An Amplification crystal?" Zoe asked.

"So that's what it's called! I prefer big red crystal myself, but each to their own." I remarked, causing Dan to laugh.

"Whatever goes in one side comes out the other more powerful." He said.

"Well I know what Jamie would do with that." I said.

"Is this an old case?" Tom asked. "It seems familiar."

"All the robberies are the work of a single thief. We believe she's stealing the items on behalf of the usual suspects, enemy governments, terrorists and of course mad scientists." Frank said, zooming in on a logo on the thief's arm. "The Order of the Red Claw! That's why it's so familiar!" Tom said.

"Who the hell are The Order of The Red Claw?" I asked.

"It's a storyline from Blade Quest." Tom said.

"Now there's a surprise. Let me guess, the Dark Wizard's secretly behind it, and Luke Sword is going to save the day and the magical princess?" I joked.

"His name is Luke Blade!" Tom snapped, and I shrugged.

"Close enough."

"Quiet Demi. The Order of The Red Claw are this group of mercenaries. In one story, they stole this red jewel called The Eye of Namsworth." Tom said.

"Story time is over Tom." Dan replied.

"MI9 finally caught a lead after the last theft, we received this transmission which we believe is from the thief's boss." My dad said, playing us a message of a man's voice congratulating someone on a successful mission and saying that they'd meet them at Blade Con, telling them to bring the Crystal. "Looks like you're going to Blade Con after all." Aneisha said. "Yeah, I can't. I have plans with David. I think I deserve some time off after everything that's happened." I said. I really didn't want to go to this thing.

"We'll need you all there. Even you Demi." My dad said. I sighed.

"Please? I really don't wanna go." I complained.

"I'm sorry, you need to be there." I stamped my foot in frustration and stomped out. I knew I was acting like a child, but it wasn't fair! I found David and Jamie by David's locker. "Hey Dems, what's up?" Jai said, seeing my anger.

"I can't go bowling with you because I have to go to freaking Blade Con!" I shouted. I hit the locker, and began to kick it, resulting in Jamie pulling me back.

"Calm down! It's just freaking bowling! We can go some other time. Now, count backwards from 20. Do it." Jamie calmly said, putting her hands on my shoulders. I complied, as she looked at the small crowd that had gathered. "What are staring at? Don't you have somewhere to be?" She yelled at them. David sighed, and said,

"I have an idea. We can go to Blade Con with you! Who knows, it might be fun. What do you say Jai?" Jamie sighed.

"Fine." She said, through gritted teeth. David smiled.

"Yay! This is going to be a brilliant weekend!" He said, hugging both of us. Oh if only we had known how bad it was going to be.

AN: And I'm going to leave it here! Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for reading!
