Chapter 14

The next morning, Lex walked into school with an unexplainable feeling of giddiness. Whether it was from Randy kissing her or what, Lex felt in a good mood. Even when Mordea and her group started making fun of her in the halls, she just smiled and kept walking.

"Gee, what's got you all happy today?" Howard asked when Lex sat down in her usual spot next to Randy at lunch.

"I have no clue!" Lex chuckled.

"At least your happy. I would hate to see you sad." Randy said. His eyes widened at the realization of what he said and he began stuttering uncontrollably.

"I-I-I m-mean…um, what I meant t-to say was…!"

"Calm down, Cunningham." Lex laughed and set a hand on his shoulder.

"Seriously though, that's sweet. Don't expect me to get all mushy and emotional about it, though, alright?" Randy nodded in reply, managing a tiny smile.

"Good. So, what've you derps been doing?"

"Not much, just chatting. Your sister came around not long ago searching for you."

"Did she now?"

"Yeah. She seemed a bit upset."

"Understatement. Mordea is never a bit upset. Anyway, I'd say its cause I ignored her earlier today. Even as a bully, she loves attention and hates being ignored."

"Really?"

"Yep."

"How come she's like that?"

"I don't know. For as long as I can remember it's been like that."

*Mordea*

"Okay! BRB!" Mordea laughed, waving to her friends as she left the cafeteria. Once in the hall, she scowled and stomped over to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, she saw her own angered reflection staring back at her.

"Ugh, I need to stop looking like my sister." She mumbled, fiddling in her bag for her eyeliner. Just as she grabbed the pencil, she heard an odd sound. It wasn't really a sound, more like a voice. A deep, evil voice. Mordea stopped and listened, wondering who the heck it was. Cautiously stepping out of the restroom, Mordea looked for the source of the voice. She knew for a fact it wasn't a student or teacher, so she need to know who was speaking. She followed the voice until it led her to the boiler room.

"Are you serious?" She scoffed when she opened the door to reveal nothing. Right when she was about to close the door, Mordea clearly saw a hole in the wall that glowed a bright green from the other side.

"Interesting." Not noticing any danger whatsoever, Mordea stepped insdie the room, shut the door, and crawled through the hole. She found herself now at the top of a steep set of steps with huge rocks curved around the edges. The voice became more prominent the farther she walked.

"I knew I shouldn't have worn heels today." Mordea muttered, though she silenced when she heard the booming voice.

"How am I to catch that dreaded ninja?! Not a single person in this school is feeling any sort of humiliation or dread!" The voice yelled. Mordea yelped slightly and hid behind a larger rock and listened as the voice continued its rant.

"Think, how can I fill these people with fear? Maybe that useless McFist can do something. Viceroy's experiments should provoke something out of them." Peeking around the edge of the rock, Mordea was able to see the person yelling. He was immensely tall, with dark green skin, white eyes, and wore a shattered brown shawl. Around his waist was an odd belt made up of green spheres.

"And to think, now I've been sensing ANOTHER ninja! What am I supposed to do?!"

"Who is this guy?" Mordea tried to get a closer look, but slipped and sent a few pebbles scattering loudly down the steps. The person turned around and saw Mordea immediately. He glared at her and waved a hand at her, enveloping her in a red bubble.

"Who are you and what are you doing in the Sorcerer's dungeon?" He asked loudly, brining the girl closer to his face.

"Why should I announce myself to the guy in the tattered remains of a bed sheet?" Mordea shouted back, not showing fear in the presence of this "Sorcerer".

"You dare speak to the most chaotic and powerful being in Norrisville with such disrespect?!"

"Yes. May I ask what you're doing exactly?"

"Attempting to take over the world, stop the ninja, generally create chaos. The usual." He raised an eyebrow at Mordea in curiosity.

"How do yo not show fear at the sight of me? I would expect disgust, at the very least."

"I've seen my sister. You're nothing compared to her." Mordea said in repulse.

"This sister, you hate her?"

"With all my heart."

"And find her more hideous and evil than I?"

"Definitely." The Sorcerer looked at her and began to laugh. "No one is more terrifying and wicked then me! You must have terrible sibling problems!" He laughed, setting Mordea down on the lone cliff he was on.

"You don't know the half of it! She's an absolute beast! I hate her! If I had it my way, she'd be gone and I'd be the biggest thing since McFist."

"Such trivial matters!"

"What, are you telling me you've never hated someone so much that you just wanted them destroyed? Eliminated so that you could rule?" The Sorcerer stopped his laugher and looked at the girl in front of him.

"I knew I got you there." Mordea chuckled evilly. The Sorcerer saw darkness and hate in her heart and suddenly thought of the perfect plan.

"Quite clever of you. If only both our enemies could be vanquished."

"What are you implying?"

"An alliance. You help me, I help you. We both lose our greatest nuisances and rule Norrisville."

"Sounds tempting."

"What do you think?" The Sorcerer held out a bony hand to Mordea with a smirk.

"I think you have yourself a deal. Just don't dare betray me." She shook his hand and grinned maniacally.

"I wouldn't dream of it." They laughed down there in the darkness, knowing this was the start of a beautifully diabolical friendship.
