A/N: Last time, Jordan overhears a high-school party that Lena will throw and gets an idea about it. How will this turn out to the others? Let's go to Part 2 to find out!
It's Her Party and I'll Crash If I Want To: Part 2
At Southdale, at night, in front of WOOHP's Southdale building, a masked and cloaked man peeks out from a manhole cover in the street. Seeing it clear, he emerges from the manhole, and began to run down the street. However, unknown to him, a dark figure on the rooftops, had spotted him and chased after him.
The man ducked into an alley. He then takes a box out from his cloak.
"Well, the superiors are gonna love this," he said to himself. Suddenly the dark figure dropped down from the rooftops.
"And I'm gonna love kicking your butt, thief," he snarled.
"So you're the mystery vigilante that everyone's been talking about."
"That's right, and I'm giving you you're only warning. Return what you've stolen, or feel the wrath of me, the Dark Reaper."
"Oh, I'm so scared," the cloaked man said. Suddenly he pulled out a blaster and shot at the figure, who blocked the shots. The man then ran out of the alley and down the street. The figure, regaining his composure, hopped back on the roof and started pursuing him. The man continued to run several blocks, all the while noticing the figure above him.
Deciding to make his escape right then, he rolled up his sleeve to reveal a familiar black bracer. He then aimed ahead and a black beam of energy shot out of it and opened a portal ahead. As the figure watched, the man jumped into the portal. The figure quickly jumped down from the roof and into the portal just as it closes.
Moments later, the figure stepped out of the portal in a new location. He looked around and saw he was in an alley. He peeked out the alley and saw he was in a new city in the afternoon, with people walking up and do tall buildings and billboards, one of which said, "Get the best in Los Angeles."
"Los Angeles?!" he said. He looked at his surroundings, but couldn't see the cloaked man. "Well, this is gonna be harder than she thought."
Back in Fils-Aimes Moffitt School, Jordan has just laid out her plan to Zeus and Kani. Zeus thought it was a good idea, but Kani wasn't so sure.
"Are you nuts?" she said. "The high schoolers don't want us at that party. They hate our guts."
"She has a point," Andre said as he walked into the room with his head stuck in a drum.
"Look guys," Jordan said as she took the drum off Andre's head. "This is Lena's party, and therefore our chance to show her that we middle-schoolers belong at this school."
"Yeah, we just need to make ourselves look a little older and sophisticated," Zeus explained.
That night at Jordan's house Andre showed up, in an old black gentleman's tuxedo, complete with a cane, monocle and, top hat. Jordan and Zeus, who was already there, looked astonished.
"What? You said to look older," Andre said.
"You look even more ridiculous, than when my brother tried to go as the Wolfman on Halloween once," Jordan said.
"Hey, hey," said Kani, as she showed up in a red dress with a stuffed chest.
"And she looks more ridiculous than you mom in that rainbow-colored wedding dress you mentioned," Zeus said to Jordan.
"So do we look like high-school kids or what?"
"I'll take the 'or what' for 500, Alex," Jordan said sarcastically.
As the two try to get used to their friends' weird outfits, Ricky came in the house to see Jordan.
"Hey, Jordan."
Seeing her dad, Jordan is a little surprised to see him as Andre asks, "Hey! You didn't tell me your dad is a mall cop!"
Annoyed by this, Ricky then says, "I'm a highly-decorated member of the California police department. You see this medal? Clean as a cop car."
Confused at his appearance, Jordan asks, "Dad, I thought you said you have a meeting tonight."
"Oh yeah, chief had to cancel it," Ricky answers as he giggles, "His car got stolen."
The kids are confused about that reason, wondering why a stolen car have to cancel a meeting.
"So, who are your friends?" Ricky asked when he saw the other kids.
"Oh, uh Dad. This is Zeus, Kani, and Andre. Runs here to... do homework," Jordan answers.
Ricky then glares at Zeus for a second, which he was uncomfortable at his glare, until he notices Kani and Andre's outfits and asks, "Then why those two look like the game pieces from Clue?"
Realizing that they still wearing those ridiculous outfits, Jordan quickly answers, "Yeah, because... We're studying Pygmylion!"
"Yeah! In English class, I choose the project by myself and we decided it's easier if we acted out," Zeus added, "You see, he's Professor Higgins and she's Eliza Doolittle. Eliza, do a little!"
Not wanting to blow their excuse, Kani tries her best Eliza impression, but not her best as she recites, "HOWDEDO, GOVERNOR! I'M JUST A SIMPLE FLOWER GIRL, I AM!"
Seeing her bad impression of a character, Ricky pulls Jordan away from her in weirded out look.
In Jordan's bedroom, she closed the door in dismay as her friends sat on her bed and her computer chair.
"We need to find a way to get to that party," Jordan said to her friends.
"Well, why can't we just climb through the window?" Kani asked.
"Because when my Dad checks on us and I'm not here, he'll freak," Jordan explained in dismay. "Man, I wish he'll just mind his own beeswax."
But when she mentions the last word, Andre realizes something and says, "Beeswax! That's it!"
After a few minutes, the kids sitting on the bed and desk are now replaced with 4 similar statues. The three are shocked by this while Andre looks impressed by them.
"Andre, these are so realistic!" Jordan says in an impressed tone as she stares at her duplicate. She then looks at Kani's duplicate statue and says, "But the eyes creeped me out."
Suddenly, the "statue" stands up and says in annoyance, "Well, I hate you nose!"
Jordan was shocked at first, until she realized that she was staring at the real Kani.
"Uh, where did you get these wax figures anyway?" Zeus asked in disbelief.
"From MimicWax website. They can instantly send wax figures with a touch of a button," Andre explained. "And with some full-body pictures of you guys, of course."
"Okay, I think I understand. But why did you pictured Kani two times?"
Andre became frozen in shock when he mentioned that as he tries to hide some kind of scrapbook involving Kani in embarrassment. "No reason."
"Are you sure these would fool your parents?" Kani asked in worry.
"Oh well, my mom is out because she's working on her fashion collection. And my dad, he's out to watching a marathon of his favorite TV show, Criminal Minds, which'll keep him busy for at least several hours." Jordan quips. "They won't know especially if we dim the lights."
After she dims her lamp, she then shouts in glee, "Now let's go get our party on!"
As the three climbed through the window, Andre sheepishly approaches Kani's wax figure and said, "Hey, beautiful."
However, his flirting practice was interrupted when Jordan pops up from her window and shouts out to him, "Let's go!"
"Nothing!" he said in panic as he follows his friends. Unknown to him, he accidentally kicks Jordan's figure too close to the lamp, causing it to melt as it's melted wax drops onto the Pygmylion book.
Meanwhile, the dark figure hopped on the rooftops of a suburban neighborhood, still looking for the criminal from before.
"Man, I can sense him around here somewhere," he said, frustrated. "Where could he be?"
Suddenly, he heard music going on and stopped running and jumping, stopping right across the street from a brightly lit house, where the music was coming from.
"Cool, a house party," he said as he watches kids walk up to the house. "I'll bet the parents aren't even-"
Suddenly, the figure stopped as he saw four kids going towards the house. Noting that two of them looked familiar, he pulled a telescope out and glanced at the four with it. Sure enough, he quickly recognized Jordan and Zeus from the picture from before.
"It's them. This must be their world."
As they entered the house, the figure jumped down from the roof of house he was on onto it's front lawn.
"Well, maybe now I can finally get some answers."
As the four middle-schoolers arrived, they saw some teenagers jamming into the music from the sterio as some are enjoying their punch and food at the catering table.
"Well we did it, we made it to a high school, party," Kani said.
"Yeah, good times, good memories. Now let's go," he said as he and Kani started to walk off.
"Whoa, whoa, not so fast," Jordan said as she blocked them. "We'll be fine you guys."
"We just need to make sure we don't draw the wrong kind of attention to ourselves," Zeus concluded.
Suddenly, Bren appears as he says in disbelief, "Jordan?!"
"Bren?!" Jordan gasped in return.
"What are you doing in this party?"
"Look, please don't tell my Dad you saw me in here!" Jordan pleas in a desperate tone, until she realizes something. "Wait a minute. What are YOU doing here? I thought Uncle Kelo grounded you for that first day prank on Principal Roenick."
"Well, I snuck out and left a dummy in my bed to make my dad think I'm there," Bren explained. "Plus, he's working late in his office."
"Well what are you doing here?"
"To make an impression on the high schoolers, of course. And get the ladies before your friend Zeus does. So far then I got two cheerleaders, a French foreign exchange student, and a church-going girl," Bren told them as she showed the numbers in his phone.
"Oh, look you got a text from Satan himself: I'll be waiting," Zeus snarked, much to Jordan's dismay.
Suddenly, Lena and one of her posse approached the kids after Bren left. "Isn't it a little late for you, middle-schoolers?" she said before she taunts them in a baby tone, "Shouldn't you be in your little footie pajamas by now?"
"I have you know that our bedtime is not until 8:30," Kani said to Lena.
"9 o'clock on weekends," Andre added, which they do a high-five after that.
Lena then walked away. Jordan turned towards Andre and Kani.
"Pretty impressive, huh Jordan?" Kani asked.
"Yeah, you sure told her off," Jordan said with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Ooh, are those Oreos?"
Jordan, Zeus and Kani walked off to enjoy the snack table, leaving Andre by himself. Sierra then approached him.
"You must be the entertainment," Sierra giggled. "Are you a magician?"
"Actually, no…" he started to say.
"Cause I think magicians are totally hot."
Now enticed, Andre pulls a deck of cards from his pocket and said, "Pick a card, any card."
As everyone is partying and dancing to the music, an 11-year old boy steps into a scene as he saw the high-schoolers in the party in a serious mood. The black-haired boy has purple eyes and wears a shirt with a navy blue infinity logo, black wristband on his left, a black winged-shaped watch on his right, black pants, and black sneakers with blue laces.
As he silently walks around the party, Jordan turns around and saw the boy, which she suddenly froze in place as she imagines that he approached her and grabbed and gently kissed her hand with a tender smile.
As she stares at the boy in love struck, she unknowingly pours punch near Zeus.
"Aah! Jordan!" Zeus snapped. "Watch what you're doing!"
Jordan continued to stare lovestruck at the boy, while completely ignoring Zeus.
"Yo, Jordan! JORDAN!"
Zeus snapped his fingers in front of her face. This caused Jordan to finally snapped out of her trance and turned to see the mess she'd caused on Zeus.
"Oh, geez. Sorry, Z," She said as she grabbed some napkins and started helping Zeus clean the punch stain on his shirt.
"No problem," Zeus said. "But why'd you just space out like that?"
"I think I know why," a voice said. A girl with short bleach blonde hair and yellowish eyes, wears a yellow no-sleeves camisole, a white and gold skirt with a winged belt buckle, and white Mary-Jane shoes walked up to them.
"Hey, Calla," Kani said to the girl.
"She a friend of yours, Kani?" Zeus asked.
"Yep. Everyone, this is my older cousin, Calla Gale. Calla, these are my friends, Jordan, Zeus and Andre."
"Pleased to meet you all," Calla said with a courtesy.
"Pleased to meet you too, Calla," Jordan said. But then she soon recognized her from somewhere. "Hey, wait. I think I've seen you before. You were part of Lena's posse that I saw when me and Zeus first came into Room 222, weren't you."
"Yeah, I am," Calla said with regret.
"But she's not like the other popular kids here," Kani explained. "She's kind, generous, understanding, basically everything that Lena isn't."
"Yeah, when it comes to them, picking on the middle-schoolers, I tend to stay in the background and not get involved, since I'm a middle-schooler myself."
"I see," Andre said.
"Well, what were you saying about you knowing why I spaced out?" Jordan asked Calla.
"Well, because I saw the way you looked at that dark-looking boy," Calla explained. "And I'd know that look anywhere. You have a crush."
Jordan then sheepishly laughs and said, "What?! That's ridiculous! I don't have a crush! I'm a gamer! I have more important- Yes, I do have a crush."
She points at the black-haired boy in embarrassment. "He's the one. The boy with purple eyes."
Calla then takes a closer look at the mentioned boy and says, "Well, he is cute and mysterious for a small kid like him. And I'm guessing you want to talk to him to make your first impression, right?"
Jordan nods in embarrassment.
"Well, first off, don't pretend anything stupid in front of him. Try to be yourself and if you get a stage of panic and nervous moment, try to calm down before you start to say something stupid."
"Did it work on you?" Jordan asks in curiosity.
"Yes, but it didn't work out," Calla explained.
"I thought it work on you!"
"It did. Turns out he's into monster trucks, rock music, and weird role-playing stuff."
"Ouch."
"Don't worry, be yourself and have confidence. I'm sure you will able to talk to him without a problem."
"Okay," Jordan said in a worried tone as she slowly approaches the boy.
"Um, hi," she said with nervousness in her voice. The boy turned around, and saw Jordan. Apparently recognizing her, he suddenly became just as nervous as her.
"Hi," he said.
"Well I, uh saw you come in and, well, I guess, I felt, um, drawn to you," Jordan said nervously hoping she didn't screw up her first impression.
"Really?" he asked. Jordan, nodded shyly while looking down. The boy just smiled. "Well, you know I'm kinda feeling drawn to you too right now."
"Really?" Jordan said as she looked up in surprise.
"Yeah. By the way, my name's Itzal. Itzal Kurosawa."
"I'm Jordan Waters, and I'm from New York City, originally."
"Well, I come from, uh, Tokyo, Japan."
"Japan? As in the anime, manga, video game capital country of the world?!"
"Yep. And gaming is literally my life."
"No way! That's my life too!"
"Do you have a GX Portable, a BTMega, and games like Magic Quest, Card Strikers, and Demon Fighters?"
"All of those and more."
"Sweet! And seeing that watch you have there, I'm guessing you play Universal Legends Online."
"You know it! It's my favorite! If you play, then you might know me as the 'Quest Queen'."
"No way! You're the 'Quest Queen'! Wow, who would have thought we'd have so much in common."
"I know, right?"
As she enjoys her chat with Itzal, she noticed someone outside the window, which is a black cloaked man with a familiar black bracer.
"Black Tundra? In here?!" she thought in panic, realizing that her time with Itzal will wait for a moment. "Sorry, Itzal. I need to, uh, go to the bathroom."
She then left him to find Zeus when Itzal noticed the same man that Jordan saw earlier.
"So, you're here," he whispered as he stands up and also left.
Meanwhile, Zeus was enjoying his time with the high-schoolers as he cheered on two dancing students when Jordan quickly pulls him out of the crowd.
"Wha?! Jordan, what the heck?" Zeus exclaimed.
"Sorry, Z. But Black Tundra is back and this time, one of them is outside of this house," Jordan whispered to her friend.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I saw them out of that window."
Jordan pointed to the window. Zeus saw nobody there
"I don't see anyone," Zeus said. "But better safe than sorry."
The two of them walked up to and looked out of the window. As they scan around outside the window, Jordan notices something and gasped in shock.
"ITZAL?!"
"Huh?" Zeus became confused at Jordan's shock until he notices what she saw: Itzal trying to pursue the cloaked man. "Wha? Is he nuts?!"
"I don't know, but we better get out there and spring into action," Jordan suggested.
"You're right. But what about everyone in the party? They might notice outside the house and see us," Zeus said.
"Well let's get out there and find somewhere private to transform and go after them." Jordan suggested Itzal will probably chase that guy away from the party."
"Right let's go," Jordan said as she and Zeus quickly ran out the house and into an empty alley nearby. After making sure there was nobody around, they chose a secret app on their RunComs, waved their hands to them and shouted out "Run Convertion! Log In!" Instantly they transformed into their Runner forms.
"Let's go," Jordan said as they chased after Itzal and the unknown man.
Meanwhile, Itzal is busy chasing the cloaked man with a serious expression, seeing that he knew the guys from before.
"You may escaped me once, but that will never happen again," he thought as he continues to chase the man.
When he notices Itzal pursuing him, the cloaked man became annoyed by this and pulls out something from his pocket.
"Hey, kid! Hope you like confetti!" he said as he throws a metal ball to Itzal, much to his shock.
Before it can even explode, a blurred figure catches the ball and shouts out, "Freeze Touch!"
The ball then suddenly freezes in ice as the figure drops it on the ground, shattering it. It revealed that Jordan is the one who froze it as Zeus jumps down from the roof to her side as they try to protect Itzal, which shocks him more.
"Dude! First, stalking someone's house, then now you're trying to hurt this poor, defenseless boy? Geez, for a lame villain like you who joined Black Tundra, you sure are playing dirty," Jordan said.
"I rather eliminate you slowly than to let you talk fast," the cloaked man said.
"Sorry, Black Tundra. We rather fight fast," Zeus said. "Now time to you to surrender before we make you!"
"Rather not. I have a schedule to keep, you know. Time flies by fast when you're falling behind."
The cloaked man try to escape again until Zeus runs to him and shouts out as his katana charged up, "Lightspeed Stri-"
Before he can finished shouting out his attack, the cloaked man then kicks Zeus in the stomach, incapacitating him.
"You little brat! You really need to learn to slow down! I hate speedy people," he said in disgust.
"Zeus!" Jordan shouts in worry before she become angry at what he did to him. "That's it! Nobody hurts him and gets away with it!"
Jordan then draws her Ice Crystal Blade and charges at the figure.
"Frost Slash!" she shouted, but before she could reach him, he drew a ray gun and blasted her, causing her to slow down immensely. The man then kicked her away causing her to fall down next to Zeus.
"Too slow for me, sweetie," the man cackled.
"Well how about me?" Itzal said as he stepped up.
"Itzal, what are you doing? Get outta here," Jordan said.
"No way. I've been after this guy for quite sometime. I'm not gonna let him slip past me again."
"What do mean you've been after him for sometime?" Zeus asked.
"Let's just say," Itzal said as he rolled up his sleeve to reveal his watch with the black-wing design. "I'm the same as the two of you."
"A RunCom," Jordan gasped.
"Could he be…?" Zeus wondered.
"Please, you've seen what I can do," the cloaked man said. "What make you think you'll do any better then them."
"Because I know everything about you, and more," Itzal said "Now face the wrath of the Dark Reaper."
Jordan and Zeus gasped as Itzal chose a secret app on his RunComs, waved his hands to them and shouted out "Run Convertion! Log In!". In a flash of purple light, he had transformed into his black coat, a t-shirt with Tron-like curcuit line on it under his coat, black pants, and black boots with armor plates on each boots and now wields some sort of black scythe with a purple diamond gem on the blade.
"Wow, the Dark Reaper," Jordan gasped. She soon became even more love-stricken than before as she said, "He's even darker than I ever would have imagined."
"Well, let's see what you got Reaper," the cloaked man said. He then drew two ray guns and fired at Itzal, who quickly deflected them with his scythe's blade. Itzal then charged and slashed at the man, destroying the ray guns.
"Shadow Rush!" Itzal shouted as he suddenly glowed with dark aura. He then turned charged the man again, but this time the man threw a grappling rope around his ankles, tripping him up and making him fall.
"Well I guess I'll see you next fall," the man cackled.
"It's not over yet," Itzal growled as he cried, "Blackout Push!" with a wave of his hand the man was sent flying hard into a nearby tree. Itzal untied his ankles, and walked over to the man. He began charging for another -Shadow Rush-, but before he could attack, the man pulled out a third ray gun and blasted Itzal, this time hitting him and causing him to scream in pain, to Jordan and Zeus's shock. He then used the ray guns beam to lift Itzal into the air.
"I'd say it's over now," the man sneered as he cut the beam. Without a warning, Itzal quickly falls down to the dumpster in the alley, shocking Jordan and Itzal.
"If you excuse me, I need to get to my destination," the cloaked man said evilly before he left the battlefield.
Worried about Itzal, Jordan and Zeus rushed to his aid as they shout out his name. When they found him, they noticed something strage about Itzal as his avatar form starts to spark up with purple electricity around his body.
"What's going on?" Jordan asked. Itzal then changed to his regular form. As Jordan and Zeus, looked on his RunCom glowed purple and suddenly, Itzal suddenly shifted into…
"TONY CLARK FROM THE AMAZING SPIEZ? TONY IS ITZAL?!"
A/N: Whoa, talk about a twist! Tony Clark as the Dark Reaper?! Why is he the Dark Reaper? And will they ever stop the cloaked man before the party's over? Review, and see ya for the last part!
