Mission 10

Previously:
	Galen and Tora try out staging each other on at the 
skating place and succeed in embarrassing Jennifer and 
Sakura. They stopped to eat, but still continued to compete 
in that. Galen and Tora were summoned to the second floor 
to begin their match. On the way they encountered Nicole 
again, but this time she had her twin sister with her. This 
didn't go too well with Jennifer and Sakura and they 
smashed Galen and Tora to the second floor Akane (Character 
from Ranma 1/2)style. The announcer explained the rules and 
released them onto the court. After five minutes of play 
time they score was tied 1-1.

Announcer: And now were back to our game. We are now going 
to interview our two contestants. Please tell me your name 
and something about yourselves.

Tora: My name's Tora Tygeru. I'm talented and handsome. And 
there's no stopping me from getting what I want.

Announcer: That's an interesting name you have there.

Tora: Well my creator had a weird sense of humor. (This got 
a laugh from everybody except Galen, Jennifer, and Sakura 
who just hung their heads.)

Announcer: Oookay. Now how about you young man.

Galen: My name's Galen Muhammad. And anything he say's I'm 
twice that.

Announcer: I'm pretty sure I heard that name from somewhere 
before. But now it's time to continue on with our game. And 
as you can see we've changed the arena and the rules.

Galen: You've done what?

Announcer: Well, we've never really made it to the second 
quarter before. The players usually give up after 
sustaining damage. But you guys are like the energizer 
bunny, you just keep going and going and...

Tora: That's enough of that. You still didn't answer our 
question.

Announcer: Well seeing as this is the first time we've ever 
made it this far, I thought it would be fun to change 
things up a bit.

Tora: Well you thought wrong, now I have the right mind to 
report you to the manager.

Announcer: I am the manager, and I can have you escorted 
from my building by the police.

Galen: There won't be a need for that. What exactly are 
these new rules.

Announcer: I'm glad you asked. This time you'll be wearing 
roller blades and instead of basketball hoops there will be 
small goals. Were going to finish this with another new 
match, which I just created. You'll be equipped with 
standard Gladiator sticks to pummel your opponent with and 
hit the ball into the goal. So it's kind of like a 
baseball, soccer, roller skate conversion

Galen and Tora: Roller blades! Baseball! We don't know how 
to play that shit. Especially on roller blades.

Announcer: Well you can either try or the other option.

Galen: Which is?

Announcer: You can leave empty handed and lose twenty 
dollars.

Galen: *He must know about the discount we got. But ten 
dollars is still a lot of money to just throw away.* Can I 
request one thing?

Announcer: Yes. What is it?

Tora: Do you think you can have someone else demonstrate it 
to us.

Announcer: Sure! (He snapped his fingers and two guys came 
out on roller blades. And started playing out the game. All 
the while Galen and Tora were watching their every movement 
recording and analyzing information. Soon one of the guys 
scored and they left. The audience applauded them.) Is that 
all of your demands.

Galen: Yea, we cool now. Lets get this started. (They went 
to the counter to get their skates changed then came back 
on opposite sides of a circle around the soccer ball. A 
cute girl came by and gave them the gladiator sticks, which 
looked like giant Q-tips.

Sakura: They can't roller blade. What are they thinking? Is 
their rivalry so immense that they'll embarrass themselves 
to win.

Jennifer: Well Galen never usually makes a fool of himself 
on purpose; he must have a plan.

Announcer: Contestants ready?

Galen: (Spins the stick around like a staff and strikes a 
pose.) Readier than we'll ever be.

Announcer: Then Get Set! Go! (That annoying bouncy ball 
flew out from the floor in between them. Galen quickly 
delivered an uppercut to Tora jaw and knocked the ball 
across the huge court and started skating.) *They said they 
couldn't roller blade. I was expecting them to injure 
themselves like everyone else. They may actually win the 
million-dollar cash prize. I'll be ruined. I made this 
event to gain money, now it seems that my plan will 
backfire. I should have quit while I was ahead, but no. 
Nicole just had to book two more people for the contest 
after I told her to stop. I swear she's is just so dense. 
Only reason I hired her and her sister was because she has 
a hot body and I had wonderful fantasies about being in bed 
with both of them. But no, they want the younger guys who 
are barely out of high school, but then again Nicole and 
Natasha are only twenty-one. The only way this will work 
out for me is if they tie.* (Just then Galen scored into 
Tora's goal.) I'm doomed.

Tora: Hey what's up with that announcer. I looks like he 
just lost a million dollars or something.

Galen: Who cares. The only losing you should be worrying 
about is yours. (The ball was launched once again with 
Galen gaining possession again. But Tora gave him a 
clothesline from hell with the stick and flew down the 
court the ball then smacked it in for a score.)

Tora: Where's all your talk now.

Galen: That's it I've had it up to here with you. (He jumps 
up in a fighting stance, but was having a hard time 
maintaining balance.)

Announcer: *Yes, beat the shit out of him, then you'll have 
to forfeit and I'll keep my money.*

Tora: ell if that's how you want it. Bring it on! (Just 
then Sakura and Jennifer jumped onto the court and pulled 
the two away from each other.)

Jennifer: You two are ridiculous. This is nothing to fight 
over,

Sakura: Yea this is just a game. If you fight now, you 
won't win the million-dollar prize. Then how are you going 
to buy all I've asked for.

Galen and Tora: A million dollars?

Sakura: Your telling me you didn't read the rest of the 
poster, and your just doing this cause you wanted to?

Tora: Basically.

Galen: Let's put our differences aside for now. That 
million dollars sounds intriguing.

Tora: Too bad you won't be winning it. (Jennifer and Sakura 
exited the court. As they passed the announcer he gave them 
the evil eye.)

Jennifer: What's his malfunction? (Sakura just shrugged her 
shoulders.)

Announcer: *No! No! No! No! NO! Those stupid girls, they 
ruined it. But the score is tied again. And there's a 
minute to go.

(Galen and Tora picked back up their sticks and were racing 
side by side after the launched ball.)

Galen: You know. Competing for money is much more fun than 
competing for the sole purpose of beating you.

Tora: You got that right, I have so much plans for that 
money. (Ludicris's song "Roll Out" came on. There was 
thirty seconds left on the clock and the Announcer was 
biting his nails. Tora gained control of the ball and 
turned to go towards his goal, which was five meters away, 
but Galen tripped him and the ball bounced away. With ten 
seconds left Galen tracked down the ball's pattern and 
waited. He spun his stick around multiple times and landed 
a critical hit on the ball. It went into the net at the 
buzzer.)

(Galen approached the announcer who was talking to his self 
about some horrible kids, but it didn't matter to Galen.

Galen: Ok, so where's my money?

Announcer: Well see what happened was...(Galen crossed his 
arms, because when someone starts a sentence with that, 
there's bound to be something wrong.) ... well, I really 
don't have the money.

Galen: You know that's false advertising, I can sue you for 
that.

Announcer: No, please. Please don't sue me, my life savings 
went into this place, I'll be finished. I'd have to shut 
down this place.

Galen: Yea, that would be a bad thing. Tell you what. I'll 
forget about the lawsuit if you grant me co-management.

Announcer: No way, now how. There's no way I'll work with a 
child.

Galen: Fine then. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Announcer: No wait! You don't have to do that...p-partner.

Galen: Great! And my first order of business will be to 
give Nicole a raise. Speaking of which. It's about time 
Tora and I get the address to her house. (He looked around 
for Tora, but he was nowhere in sight.) That bastard, he's 
going without me. (Sakura stepped in front of him.)

Sakura: And where do you think your going? Jennifer go drag 
Tora back here. (Jennifer exited the arena in search of 
Tora.)

Galen: What do you want?

Sakura: Nothing but to stare in your beautiful brown eyes.

Galen: What's wrong with you, you've been acting strange 
since we got here. (The room is empty except for the 
manager who seems to be crying.)

Sakura: *Man is this boy totally clueless or what, can't he 
tell when a girl is coming on to him.* Well it's just that 
I kind of like you. *Kind of, ha that's an understatement.*

Galen: But you know that I really want to get back with 
Jennifer. And you two are like friends now for some reason, 
and now your going behind her back. I can't tolerate that. 
(She steps closer giving him a full view of her massive 
cleavage.)

Sakura: You were saying. (She raises her head to kiss him, 
and Galen is just zoned out; but Jennifer slams open the 
door and Sakura jumps back away from Galen.

Jennifer: Tora's gone, and Galen is your car insured. 
(Galen breaks out of the trance Sakura put him in and he 
races outside of the building. As he approaching the 
parking lot he can plainly see his black Lamborghini in 
ruins.)

Galen: TORA TYGERU!!! (He hits the car causing more 
damage.)

[Across town]

(A chill was sent down Tora's spine as he reached for 
Nicole's doorbell.) Tora: Why do I feel like someone just 
walked over my grave. Oh well, it's just my imagination. 
(He pressed the button and soon Nicole and Natasha were 
standing in the doorway inviting him in.)

Natasha: Where's your friend?

Tora: Oh, he decided not to come, had car trouble so he 
decided to stay home, you know how it is with guys and the 
condition of their cars.

Nicole: Aww, I was looking forward for him to come as well.

Tora: Oh well. He'll just have to miss out. (For the first 
time he noticed that they were wearing tight leather thongs 
and brandishing whips.) *Oh shit! What have I gotten my 
self into?*


Nicole: Now let the fun begin. (She smiled evilly at Tora 
who was afraid for the first time in his life.)

[At Galen's House]

Galen: Thanks for the ride Sakura, see ya later. (She drove 
off.)
That was nice of her to drive me home. Jennifer was still 
pissed off at me about wanting to go to Nicole's house. (He 
approached his door and found that he lost his key. He 
grazed the top of his door and pulled out the hidden key.) 
Always got to keep a spare. (He unlocked his door, dropped 
his bag, and kicked off his shoes.) I need a bath, but 
first I have to know if Tora's at Nicole's yet. (He ran 
upstairs and dialed the number on the paper. Then line was 
busy or unplugged. He tried reading his mind but forgot 
that he coated his house with a metal that blocks mind 
probing.) Well if Tora's doing what I know he's doing he 
shouldn't be able to keep his mind block up.

[At Nicole's]

Tora: *Why can't that idiot sense my cry for help. These 
girls are crazy. I mean sure they've given me the best head 
I've ever gotten but do they need to hurt me to get me to 
do what they want. If Galen were here, he'd probably be 
able to think of something. Where the hell is he when you 
need him!*

Nicole: Hey I didn't ask you to stop. (She hits him with 
her whip and laughs maniacally.)

Tora: *This is some bullshit!*

[Back at Galen's House]

Galen: That damn Sakura! That damn sexy Sakura. Man I need 
to get my mind off of her. (He ran some nice hot bath water 
and got in.) There's nothing like a hot bath to ease the 
mind. But this is too damn hot. (He turned on he cold water 
for a minute. While he was turning it off he thought he 
heard the door.) Must be my imagination, only my key can 
get in here. And there's only two copies of my key. (He got 
back in the water and sat in it for a while.

[Ten minutes later]

Galen: Man, I feel so relaxed now. But now I'm hungry. (He 
wrapped a towel around him and made his way to the 
kitchen.) Let's see what we got here. (Inside the 
refrigerator was just a liter of fruit punch, whipped cream 
and chocolate syrup.) I keep forgetting to go to the store. 
(He checked the cabinet and went into his supply of instant 
noodles and fixed one.) I feel silly walking around in this 
towel, no one else lives here, but this makes me feel much 
more comfortable. (He went upstairs while scarfing down 
noodles. As he opened his door to his room he dropped his 
food with his fork not too far behind. Because on his bed 
lay Sakura in all her naked glory. Galen was too stunned to 
speak to the Goddess that was before him, but he soon 
snapped out of it.) W-w-w-what are you doing in my house? 
*What am I saying, this is like a dream come true.*

Sakura: Is that all you can say to me? I went through all 
the trouble of getting your key out of your pocket just so 
I could make up for making you miss out on your arrangement 
with those girls. So what do you say, I know you want me.

Galen: But didn't I just explain to you at the Skating ring 
what I  thought. (Just then, his towel fell down, he 
scrambled to picked it up and was turning redder than the 
color of freshly drawn blood.)

Sakura: Well at least part of you is happy to see me. Come 
on. Don't think about what Jennifer may say. She's over you 
anyway.

Galen: She told you that.

Sakura: Yep, she said that you need somebody to mend your 
broken heart. Well, here I am.

Galen: *Well should I do it?*

Good conscience: No, just convince her to leave. You know 
you want to get Jennifer back.

Bad conscience: But she doesn't want you back, think about 
it. You know this is a chance you can't pass up.

Good C.: Don't listen to him, do what you think is right.

Bad C.: And you know the right thing to do is smash this 
girl, I mean look at her. You don't want to make her leave 
brokenhearted do you.

Good C. I guess he's right. Keeping others from going 
through the same thing you went through is good.

Good and Bad Conscience: Do it!

Galen: *The voices in my head have never led me astray 
before, why dismiss their opinion now.* Ok Sakura, I'm all 
yours.

Sakura: Yah! It's time to receive something you should have 
gotten a long time ago.

Good Conscience: You know, on second thought...

Bad Conscience: Your too late...look at his eyes, they're 
completely glazed over, he's gone. Man am I a good 
persuasioner or what.

[In Antarctica]

(Elijah, Taj, Kuma, and Hiru have all mobilized their MCU.)

Kuma: Ok, the rules are simple. The first one to say that 
they surrender to the greater man lose. There shall be no 
interference and my robot ref shall see to it. He can 
paralyze a MCU instantly if he sees any cheating.

Elijah: You probably programmed it to work only against us.

Hiru: We'd never do anything like that. We have given our 
word to play fair, and a warrior's word is his bond.

Taj: Let's just get this over with. It's getting really 
cold.

Kuma: Fine. Then you and I shall go first. You may only tag 
your partner when five minutes has passed, then there has 
to be another five-minute wait until another can be made. 
And loaning your partner a weapon is allowed.

Taj: Sounds reasonable to me.

Elijah: Taj, do we really have to go through with this.

Taj: Yes we do. We promised them a match and we can't go 
back on it and a real warrior never runs from a challenge.

Elijah: I guess your right. Well I'm all set.

Hiru: Oh yea. We forgot one thing. There's to be no use of 
the MHF mode installed in your system.

Elijah: How'd you know about that?

Kuma: Because you invented it and from your mind I created 
my own variation to it.

Taj: Ok, so the same goes for you right. There is to be no 
unfair advantages. (He pulls out his double bladed staff.) 
I'm ready for you.

Kuma: Right, robo ref, start the match. (Kuma outstretches 
his Kurai Kitsune's (Dark Fox) claws. The robo ref sounded 
a loud bell would set off an avalanche if there were 
mountains nearby.)

(Taj charged at Kuma who in turn was charging at Taj. 
Sparks flew as their weapons made contact. Taj pushed 
Kuma's K. Kitsune of him and slashed at him multiple times 
with his blades, but Kuma parried them all. Kuma dashed 
forward and stabbed his claws toward Taj's  cockpit. Taj 
dodged to the side but it still grazed him. In the process 
of saving his life Taj did a back flip and landed a kick 
right in Kuma's mid section. He flew backwards, flipped, 
and landed on his feet.)

Kuma: Pretty impressive move. You're the first to ever 
damage my K. Kitsune. For that you shall pay. (Kuma 
advanced again, but this time Taj was ready. He jumped up 
over Kuma and used his left hand to release a whip that 
bound Kuma's K. Kitsune. He repeatedly slammed it into the 
ground then held him up above his head.)

Taj: Unless you want me to start slicing up your precious 
MCU, you'd better surrender.

Kuma: Fine. I couldn't bear to see my MCU take any more 
damage. Hiru, it's all up to you now. (Taj released Kuma 
and Kuma walked over to his brother.)

Taj: I think I'm going to tag out for a while.

Elijah: Finally, some action.

Hiru: I will not let you defeat me. K. Hiru (Dark Bird) its 
time to spread your wings, take flight. (Hiru's K. Hiru 
spread it's massive wings that looked like an angel's wings 
and started to fly by the many boosters on the wings. But 
to Elijah, it was more like the angel of death.

Elijah: I'm going to pluck your feathers and fry your 
pathetic turkey. (He got into a fighting stance.)

Hiru: You dare mock me by fighting bare handed. You'll 
regret this. (He soared down with the talons on his K. 
Hiru's feet outstretched. Elijah jumped up to meet him and 
threw various punches, they all made contact but did no 
damage.)

Hiru: Ha! What was that, your attack didn't even damage my 
MCU. (He grabbed Elijah with the claws and flew high into 
the air. Elijah pulled his beam sword out of his forearm 
and tried to strike Hiru to the head, but his attack was 
blocked by Hiru's beam scythe. Hiru knocked the sword out 
of his hands and started to pummel Elijah's MCU with many 
punch combinations. Then he released Elijah and let him 
drop to the ground. With his boosters crushed he will smash 
into the ground and sustain heavy damage. As he neared the 
ground Taj ran up and caught him.)

Hiru: Hey your cheating! (Hiru landed on the ground and 
folded his wings.)

Taj: No, five minutes is up. Now it's my turn.

Hiru: Fine, I've been waiting to fight you the entire time.

Taj: Then bring it on! (He spun his staff over his head and 
jumped into the air.)

Hiru: Your dare attack me from the air, you'll regret that 
mistake. (He tried to fly but sparks started flying out of 
his MCU.) Hey my controls won't respond. Wait did Elijah 
hit my MCU in its most sensitive spots, that's the only 
thing that would make my controls not work.

Elijah: (Talking to Hiru through private comlink.) You let 
Taj beat you pretty fast Kuma, what happened. You should 
have moped the floor with him.

Kuma: I felt that my brother always in my shadow, and I 
felt that he deserved his time to shine. That's the same 
reason you put a delayed reaction into your pressure point 
smash attack.

Elijah: Yes, I have to admit I lost on purpose. But it 
seems that this battle is over.

Kuma: Yea, I guess your right. But next time. It'll be you 
and me, and no holding back.

Elijah: Sure, what ever you say.

(Taj's strike totally finished off the immobilized MCU of 
Hiru.)

Hiru: I'll get you next time Taj. If my controls hadn't 
shorted out, you'd been toast. (They loaded their MCU onto 
the transporter.) Until next time. (They shot of in the 
transporter to head home.)

(Elijah and Taj were also packing up their equipment.)

Taj: Thanks Elijah.

Elijah: For what?

Taj: I know it was you that made Hiru's MCU screw up. But 
next time, don't do me any favors. I can handle my own I 
battle.

Elijah: I know you can. So shall we head home.

Taj: Home? I thought we were going to Africa next, you said 
you destroyed the forces there.

Elijah: Yea, but I'm feeling a little home sick. Plus 
there's some things I must take care of while I still can.

Taj: Don't talk crazy like that. Your not going anywhere.

Elijah: (He just stared at his brother, then he hugged 
him.) Your right. I'm not going anywhere. Nowhere at all.

Taj: Elijah, your scaring me. (Elijah responded by 
laughing.)

Elijah: Let's get going, I wonder how Galen's doing. He 
must be lonely without all his friends around.
