Chapter 18
A few days later the J team and the demon sorcerers were scattered about the palace just minding their own business. While Jackie, Viper, Tohru, and Uncle while wandering around one of the halls they noticed some people they haven't seen for a while, Hak Foo and the Enforcers.
"Well, well, well, look whose still here." Chow said.
"Long time no see Chan." Ratso added.
"Hatcha, where have you all been?!" Uncle yelled.
"We were checking out the military bases in this place." Finn stated.
"How'd you even get into those? We've had people watching us ever since we got here." Viper stated.
"It wasn't that difficult; they don't really care as long as you don't steal anything." Hak Foo stated.
"It also probably help that Jade set it up for us after we asked her if there was anything cool to go see, we were expecting something like monuments but the military bases were way better" Chow said.
"Yeah, you won't believe how many weapons the army has down here." Ratso stated.
"Well, does the Devil even know that you all are here?" Tohru questioned.
"I'm sure; the guards asked us who we were, so we just told them we were with you guys." Chow said.
"So, what exactly is there to do around here?" Hak Foo questioned.
"Look around…if you've never been here before." Uncle replied.
"Alright, we're going to go check out the palace then." Finn stated.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Later
The J Team and the demon sorcerers were wandering through the parks of Hell. Jade and her friends were at work, and on occasion the J Team would see them walking around, with black bags over their shoulders.
"What do you think are in those bags they're carrying?" Paco asked.
"Why don't you answer that boy? You're all buddy-buddy with them now; I'm sure they tell you all about their jobs." Drago hissed.
"I'll have you know that they don't tell me anything about anything related to work. So fuck off." Paco replied.
"I suggest both of you be quiet before Uncle sends you to a dimension like the one the Devil mentioned when we arrived here a while ago." Uncle yelled.
"Ha, I bet you couldn't do that even if you tried old man." Daolon Wong scoffed.
"What are you people going on about now?" A familiar voice questioned.
Everyone turned to see Dante, still in his reaper uniform, and still carrying that black bag over his shoulder.
"Nothing, nothing important." Jackie replied.
"What is in that bag you're holding Dante?" Viper asked.
"Souls." Dante replied.
"Souls?" El Toro questioned.
"Yeah, part of our job as reapers is to collect the souls of the mortals who depart the world of the living." Dante stated.
"How do you know where to go though?" Viper questioned.
"You could just say that we are assigned to collect the souls when we know that a mortal is very close to death and then we go to the location where they are upon their death and take the souls and bring them to the palace." Dante continued.
"Interesting." Bai Tza commented.
"Hey Dante." Another familiar voice greeted.
Everyone turned again to see Jade and the rest of her friends walking up to them.
"Did you collect all your souls today?" Amber questioned.
"Yeah, I did." Dante replied.
"Ready to go deposit them?" Violet asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Dante replied.
So the five reapers went to the palace add down a hall where there was a chute in the wall. So they opened up their bags and dumped all the souls into the chute.
"You just dump them into a chute?" Jackie questioned.
"Yeah, they'll be sorted and decisions will be made on where they'll go." Jade stated.
"That's it?" Tohru questioned.
"Yeah, pretty much." Violet replied.
"Okay, we need to go punch out now." Mark stated.
"Paco, you want to hang out with us again tonight?" Jade asked.
"Sure." Paco replied.
"Okay, come by Dante's suite in two hours." Amber said.
"See you people around." Dante said before the reapers walked away.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Two hours later the Jade and her friends (including Paco) were sitting in Dante's suite.
"So, what should we do tonight?" Mark questioned.
"Play videogames?" Dante questioned.
"We did that last night." Amber whined.
"Well do you have a better idea?" Dante retorted.
"How about we go to The Burning Point? We haven't been there in a long time." Violet suggested.
"I'm cool with it." Jade replied.
"Me too." Violet added.
"So, everyone agrees?" Paco questioned.
"Yeah." Everyone else said.
"Ok, we need to change." Jade stated.
"Why?" Paco questioned.
"Because these are not exactly club outfits." Amber said.
"I don't have any clothes except for the ones I came here in." Paco stated.
"You can borrow some of mine Paco." Dante offered.
"Yeah, just borrow some of Dante's tonight and we'll take you to get some new clothes tomorrow." Jade stated.
"Okay, well, I'll be back, I need to go to my suite to change." Mark said before walking out.
"Yeah, we'll be back too." Violet said before the girls left too.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A few minutes later there was a knock on Dante's door.
"Are you guys ready yet?" Mark's voice asked.
"Yeah, come in." Dante said.
The girls came in their outfits. Jade was wearing an ice blue tank top, and pair of black skinny jeans, and a pair of black knee-high boots. Amber was wearing a mauve strapless shirt, a pair of gray shorts, and a pair of silver gladiator sandals. Violet was wearing a black and white tank top with a green lacey bandeau top underneath it, a pair of blue jeggings black lace up ankle boots. Mark walked in wearing a short-sleeved white button down shirt, a black tie, a pair of black jeans, and a pair of black and white sneakers. Dante was wearing a white v-neck t-shirt over a black leather jacket, a pair of blue jeans, and pair of red and gray sneakers. Paco was wearing a dark blue button down shirt that was opened with a white t-shirt under it, a pair of blue jeans, and white sneakers.
"Alright, let's head to the club." Jade said.
And so the six friends went off.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
One hour later
The group was at The Burning Point sitting at a table with some drinks, with the exception of Amber, Violet, and Dante, who were all on the dance floor.
"So Paco, how do you like it here in Hell?" Mark said trying to start a conversation.
"It's actually pretty nice here, it's just like earth." Paco stated.
"I know that's why I hate it when people think is nothing but fire and lava." Jade said.
"So, is this club a popular spot for reapers?" Paco asked.
"Yeah, a lot of reapers come here once they're 18, since that's the age when it's legal for you to drink here. It's not just reapers though, a lot of teenagers and young adults come here just to dance and hang out." Mark declared.
"I actually like it here besides the fact that I have to share a room with demons who obviously hate me." Paco stated.
"Yeah, well who gives a fuck about them anyway? You guys have been here for a long time though. Maybe I'll talk to my dad about giving you guys your own rooms…I mean it's not like the palace lacks rooms." Jade said.
"Really? Thanks Yade, I'd really appreciate that." Paco said.
"Sure, I mean, we are friends after all." Jade replied.
"Hey guys." Amber greeted as she, Violet, and Dante came back to the table.
"Yo, you get bored with dancing?" Jade asked.
"Yeah kind of, you guys want to go into the reaper section and chill?" Dante suggested.
"Sure why not?" Jade replied.
"Yeah I'm in." Mark added.
"What about me? I'm not a reaper." Paco confirmed.
"Please, with all of us here, they're just going to have to forget the rule and make an exception." Jade declared.
So the six friends went over the entrance to the reapers' section of the club. The guards immediately noticed that Paco was with the group.
"Lady Jade, why is that boy with you? He is not a reaper." One of the guards questioned.
"Yeah I know, but we all want him to hang out with us. So I'd appreciate if you'd just let him come in with us." Jade stated.
The guards paused for a minute.
"Very well then." The other guard said.
So the friends made their way past the red velvet rope separating them from the reapers' section.
Suddenly Jade felt Mamoru appear behind her and say something to another presence.
"Stay away from her." He said.
Jade turned to see who he was talking to and saw another Shadow Khan holding a piece of parchment with a blood red ribbon around it.
"What do you want?" Jade questioned.
"I bring you an important message from Tarakudo my lady." The Shadow Khan said holding out the parchment.
"Thank you; tell him I will read it at once" Jade lied.
The Shadow Khan nodded before disappearing into the ground.
"Are you really going to open that?" Mamoru questioned.
"Like Hell." Jade said before ripping up the parchment.
"Why'd you rip it though?" Amber asked.
"Because, for all I know that damn tattoo could have been on there."
"Good point." Mamoru said.
"Alright, let's go in already." Jade said.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The reapers' section of the club was very nice. The walls were all mirrored, there was a big dance floor in the center of the room, and black lights were all over the ceiling. The room alone had like three or four bars, and probably about a dozen black leather couches, and with a few fire pits between some of them (It is Hell after all).
"Wow, this is the reapers' section?" Paco asked.
"Yeah, pretty sweet isn't it?" Mark asked.
"Yeah, so what do you guys do in here?" Paco questioned.
"We just hang out, dance, and get a few drinks." Violet replied.
"Speaking of which, Mark can you go order us a round?" Jade asked.
"Yeah, I'm on it." Mark said walking over to the bar.
"Uh…exactly how much do you guys drink?" Paco asked.
"Well, Jade has a really high tolerance so she pretty much can't get drunk, the guys can hold their liquor down after maybe four drinks, Violet and I are pretty good too, but after like four we're gone." Amber declared. "So what about you Paco, have you ever had any alcohol before?" Amber asked.
"Well, the legal drinking age in Mexico is 18, so I've had tequila before, but as a luchador I try not to drink a lot."
"Well, it's a carefree night tonight, so how about we alter that for a change." Amber stated.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A few hours later
When the gang was on their way back to the palace thankfully none of them were drunk, probably a little buzzed though.
"So, what should we do now?" Amber questioned.
"Whatever it is I think it shouldn't have anything to do with alcohol." Paco suggested.
The others chuckled a little bit.
"I got an idea, why don't we got to one of our suites and have a movie marathon." Dante suggested.
"I'm not opposed to that. What about you guys?" Jade asked.
"No." Mark replied.
"I'm cool with it." Violet said.
"Ditto." Amber said.
"I'm fine with it." Paco said.
"Alright let's go pick out some movies." Jade stated.
"How about before we get back home we make a stop at a convenience store to get drinks and junk food?" Violet offered.
"Junk food does sound nice" Mark said while everyone else nodded in agreement.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo At the convenience store after picking out all the food and drinks they wanted Violet and Amber got online and the boys waited outside, while Jade was looking at the fireworks.
"These things are so cool" she said to herself.
"You just like the boom" a voice suddenly said behind her.
"Like you don't Mamoru?" Jade responded without looking back.
"True, very true" Mamoru said as they left the fireworks to fallow Violet and Amber out of the store.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The six friends began to make their way towards the reapers' suites when a voice stopped them.
"Hey, wait up you guys." Chow said.
"What do you want?" Dante asked.
"Can we come and watch movies with you all?" Ratso asked.
"Sure." Jade replied as the group continued on.
"Gee thanks." Finn said as the Enforcers followed the six friends.
The J Team, the demon sorcerers and Daolon Wong just watched in slight confusion.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
A few hours later
Everyone was watching movies in Violet's suite. So far they had watched The Avengers, The Mummy, and The Mummy II. They were currently watching Grown Ups and practically laughing their asses off, well, most of them anyway.
Once the movie ended they removed the DVD.
"So, what do we watch next?" Paco asked.
"Oh, I know, let's watch Mean Girls. It's really funny." Amber said holding the DVD case out in front of her.
"No." Jade and her friends practically yelled.
"Oh come on you guys please?" Amber practically begged.
"No way, that movie is way too girly!" Dante exclaimed.
"I agree with muscle guy, I ain't watching no girly movie." Chow stated.
"Me either." Finn commented.
At this point Amber was really upset and she was throwing somewhat of a tantrum.
"Oh come on you guys that so isn't fair! I watched everything you guys wanted to watch and now I want to watch something and you all say no?! Tell me on what world is that fair. You guys are being so mean!" Amber rambled.
While she was doing this Mamoru appeared next to Jade.
"She's at it again?" He asked.
"Yeah." Jade replied.
"Over the same movie?" He questioned again.
"Over the same movie." Jade confirmed.
"What is this, the tenth time now?" Mamoru asked.
"Yup, it is." Jade stated. "We have to get that DVD away from her."
"And how are you going to do that?" Mamoru probed.
"What makes you think I have an idea?" Jade asked with a wicked smile.
