Mission 15

Previously:
	Brandon and Keith finish off a base in Tokyo. Brandon goes off alone in search of 
any enemies. He encounters Kiyone. They battle but just like last time, Brandon beats 
her. Kiyone reveals to Brandon Kurt's assassination plot. She also reveals that she really 
isn't Kurt's wife, she hates him and wishes for Brandon to take her with him. Brandon 
reluctantly refuses with a good reason and Kiyone leaves. Brandon and Keith make their 
way to China and Brandon contacts Galen and tells him about the plot. We then go to 
Galen's crib where Jennifer and Sakura are still fighting. They both collapse from 
exhaustion and Galen carries them inside and goes to sleep. Tora contacts Hiru and 
informs him that the rivalry between his and Galen's team was over. And he tells Hiru of 
the strange new fighters he encountered. Hiru tells Kuma what Tora said. Kuma goes on 
to explain that the V.P.C. of the friends he recreated were different because no two cores 
have the same properties. He does a couple experiments on Hiru and found out that their 
cores had special abilities that were out of this world. Galen gets a rude awakening when 
he finds that his house looked as if a hurricane went threw it. And the said "hurricanes" 
started arguing about Galen. Jennifer tells Galen that he blew his chance with her. Sakura 
tried to get close to Galen but he dismissed her, leaving him to his thoughts Galen 
cleaned him house. Later Galen informed Aaron Turner that he was going to protect him 
during the meeting he was going to give. When Cortex attempted to kill Aaron, Galen 
stopped him and chased him out of the window. Cortex escaped knowing the true identity 
of the enemy he had given him his first loss in combat. We then go to Jennifer's house 
where she is talking to herself about her feelings for Galen.

[One day later]

(Everyone had returned home and was having another one of Galen's videogame parties. 
The house was completely cleaned and it took Galen the whole day to get it the way it 
was before hurricane Jennifer and Sakura blew through it. Everyone was there except 
Tora and the member of his team.)

Keith: It's been a while since we've had a break.

Brandon: Well as the saying goes, "We work hard. We play hard."

Galen: But the problem is that we don't get paid for our work. And no one is going to 
hire teenagers who didn't go to high school. So I've given it some thought, and I think 
it'll be a good idea if we go to school. (There was silence then they all started laughing.)

Elijah: (Laughing to point of almost crying.) That was a good joke. Go to school. Like I 
want to go through that hell again.

Taj: He does have a point though. The money left over from our previous selves life's is 
running short. We do need jobs.

Galen: Well, I don't need a job. I work at the Skating Park in Baltimore.

Keith: I don't know. Going to school. I'll feel like a geek because I'll know everything 
they teach.

Galen: There'll be lots of sexy girls there.

Keith: Count me in!

Galen: Good then its decided. Staring Monday we'll be attending Parkdale High School. I 
already have the applications filled out.

Taj: So you were planning to have us go there even if we didn't want to.

Galen: Uhh...well who's up for some "Zone of the Enders 3"? (Immediately everyone 
dove for the one of the six controllers. Jennifer was just standing away from everyone 
else not saying anything. Galen could tell she was still pissed off at him. As he stared at 
the solemn Jennifer the doorbell rang.) You guys wouldn't mind if I invited some more 
friends over?

Taj: What other friends do you have? (Galen opened the door and Tora, Kuma, Hiru, 
Neko, and Sakura was standing there. Instantly the room got quiet, and you could feel the 
tension rising.)

(Tora broke the silence) Tora: Well, are you just going to let us stand there and stare at us 
*or Sakura at least* and let us in Galen.

Taj: You invited them?

Galen: Damn it man. I thought I explained what happened.

Elijah: You sure you can trust what they say.

Galen: Based on the situation we were in when he told me, yes I do believe him. Come 
on in. Make yourselves at home, but don't get too comfortable. (Tora came in followed 
by Kuma and Neko carrying an extra T.V.; Hiru was holding some games and some 
refreshments. Sakura came in and her and Jennifer's eyes met for a second they just 
stared at each other. The others didn't know what was going on. Tora knew and Galen 
was afraid that his house was about to be met with another disaster. But Sakura started 
walking again and went to help hook up the other Game Box Station 2.)

Tora: I see your idea is working well, for now at least. I notice a lot of tension between 
Jennifer and Sakura. Have you done anything about them yet.

Galen: No. They dealt with it themselves. And don't try probing my mind for more 
information because Elijah developed a mind block. So no one can get into our heads 
without us wants them to.

Tora: That's funny. Kuma did the same thing. Those two are geniuses.

Galen: Well our geniuses are duking it out in "Armored Core 10". And by the looks on 
their faces, they're both getting creamed.

Tora: Feel like playing me in a classic "Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3".

Galen: You know I'm a pro at that game.

Tora: And you know that so am I.

Galen: Don't think for a second that because we have the same mind that our game skills 
are equal.

Keith: Hey Tora. Where's Raion?

Neko: Unfortunately, Raion doesn't agree with a peace treaty with you guys. He left our 
group this morning.

Keith: Some people just don't change do they. Now he's an enemy to you too.

Tora: Maybe. But what can he do against the five of us. He's only one man, though a 
formidable opponent, he's nothing by himself. Now what do you say we get this party 
started.

(The party went on without a hitch until Elijah and Kuma had a disagreement over the 
construction of the great pyramids of Egypt. Which everyone else thought was a dumb 
argument. Afterwards everyone helped clean up and Tora and his group left.)

Keith: I don't like those guys.

Galen: Don't bullshit me. You know you had fun, and you can't say anything different.

Elijah: I'd have to say that they're not that bad when your having fun with them and not 
yelling at them.

Taj: We've been wrong about them. It just goes to show that you can't judge a cyborg by 
its outer shell.

Brandon: I have to be going now, if we are going to start school tomorrow then I'm going 
to need all the sleep I need. (He left and was followed by Elijah, Taj, and Keith.)

Galen: Umm...Jennifer, don't you have to be going as well.

Jennifer: Not until Sakura leaves.

Galen: Huh?

Jennifer: You didn't noticed that she was the only one who didn't leave, you need to 
learn to be more aware to your surroundings. She's in the Reading room behind the door.

Sakura: Damn you. How'd you know I was here.

Jennifer: I was watching you all night, nothing you did slipped by my ever watchful eyes. 
Like when you slipped that twenty out of Kuma's jacket.

Sakura: Soooooo...you guys are going to school huh. That sounds like a good plan. That 
way we blend in with the rest of the others teenagers.

Jennifer: Your not included.

Sakura: Too bad. Tora already signed us up. Were going to some loser school name 
Parkdale.

Galen: That's where were going. This'll be so cool. (A dark glare from Jennifer made 
him be quiet.)

Jennifer: Galen, can you excuse Sakura and I. We need to talk.

Galen: Ok, but that better be all that happens, because I ain't fixing shit. The next clean 
up will be coming out of your pockets. (He leaves the room.)

Sakura: So should I put up my guard and wait for your onslaught?

Jennifer: No. I meant what I said. Were going to talk.

Sakura: About this situation with Galen?

Jennifer: How'd you know? Is Elijah's mind blocker not working.

Sakura: It's a twin thing I guess. Look, I know you don't want me to be with Galen. But 
unlike you I know how I feel.

Jennifer: I respect that, which is why I decided. (She inhaled and exhaled sharply.) That 
I'm going to allow you to see him, he's all yours. Don't get all happy yet. If you break his 
heart I shall never forgive you, and I will kill you, do you understand.

Sakura: (Scared by Jennifer's sudden change of tone.) Yea sure. He'll be very happy with 
me.

Jennifer: Good. Galen you can stop eavesdropping now.

Galen: Damn, nothing gets past you does it. Well you obviously know that I heard 
everything. Now Jennifer, I've also decided that I'm going to go with Sakura. Not 
because she reminds me of you, but because you approve of her. Are you ok with that?

Jennifer: Yes I am. All I want is for you to be happy.

Galen: Thank you Jennifer, you're a good friend.

Sakura: Yea. (She gives Jennifer a hug then comes and gives me one pressing her 
massive breast onto my chest.) I'm going to be everything you ever wanted.

Jennifer: At least wait until I leave. (She smiles and leaves.)

Galen: So, you going to stay here tonight?

Sakura: No. Now that your mine, I have eternity to do with you as I please.

Galen: I like the sound of that. (I smile at her as she leaves.) Life throws weird curves at 
me. One minute they hate me, another they adore me. I'm getting tired as well. Got a big 
day a head of me. My first day of school in at least eighty something years or more.

[In Australia]

Raion: What is wrong with those guys, how can they just side with those bitches over me. 
I'll show them all. But I don't have the man power to do so.

(Suddenly a man from the shadows emerges.)

Raion: Who's there?

Cortex: You're a member of Tora's group. There's a bounty on his head and yours.

Raion: So you think you can take me. You and what army?

(Cortex snaps his fingers and red lights appear all over his body from Kuro Kage 
member's guns.)

Cortex: Now I have a proposition for you. And I think you'll find that it'll be hard to 
refuse.

[In America]

(Our heroes are all sleeping getting ready to wake up to get to their first day of school on 
time. Too bad they set their clocks for 9 o' clock)

Galen, Tora, Elijah, Kuma, Taj, Hiru, Brandon, Neko, Jennifer, Sakura, and Keith: Oh 
shit! I'm late!

[At Galen's house]

This is crazy. How are you going to be late for school on your first day. Talk about bad 
impression. (He throws on his shoes and goes out the door. On his way out the door he 
sees Jennifer.)

Jennifer: Hurry hop in! (He jumps into the car and they speed off.

[At Parkdale High School]

Principal: Young man, young lady. Where's your I.D.?

Galen: My what?

Jennifer: We're new here, this is our first day.

Principal: Oh well I'm Doctor Horrigan Jr., and welcome to Parkdale High school. Go to 
the Attendance office and get your pass, schedule, and I.D.

Galen: Uh where is that? (But the principal had already turned to harass some other 
students about their I.D.'s.)

Jennifer: What's up with that guy and I.D's.

Galen: Maybe he has a weird I.D. fetish.

Jennifer: (She smacked him in his head.) You need help.

Galen: What'd I say.

(They eventually found the Attendance office and got the stuff they needed.)

Jennifer: Well, I have to go to Rm. 142 for English, what class you got now?

Galen: I have to go to Rm. 112 for web page design. (He looked across the hall and saw 
his classroom.) Looks like you got some time before you find your class. (Jennifer started 
walking the long ass hallway not knowing where the hell Rm. 142 was. Galen entered his 
classroom. The teacher greeted him and showed him where to sit. He was seated next to 
Jason, the same guy who had helped him out in the battle.)

Jason: Long time no see.

Galen: What are you doing here? I thought you were out roaming the Earth for 
spectacular battles.

Jason: Well we were, but decided to come here. And I must say, the girls in this school 
are phat as shit son. Dawg I'm telling you, this was the best decision I made.

Galen: Your telling me.

Teacher: Mr. Muhammad and Mr. Wong, no talking while I'm giving instructions, you 
want to fail this class?

Galen and Jason: No Ms. Brown.

Galen: If I thought the teachers were this bitchy, I'd just kept destroying things.

Ms. Brown: I heard that Mr. Muhammad. I'm calling the main office and ask them bring 
an administrator to take care of you.

Galen: This is some bullshit. (He sunk lower in his seat when he realized she heard him 
say that.)
