Mission 17

Previously:
	Our heroes and their ex enemies continue on through the day with Galen getting 
into all kinds of trouble. They get to forth period and see that the class is about MCUs. 
Which will be a cinch for expert MCU pilots.

[After School]

Galen: What's taking these guys so long. It doesn't take that long to get to my house.

Sakura: You can be so impatient sometimes. Just wait a little longer.

Tora: All you want to do is eat anyway. (He pushes over Neko who had just slid over to 
sleep on his shoulder.) Wake up man!

Neko: Oh, sorry. (Brandon and Keith were busy trying to see who was the best in 
"Wrestle mania XXV".)

Elijah: Its there first time in this neighborhood.

Taj: (Whispers to Elijah.) But they have been near here before. They were created right 
down the street.

Elijah: It doesn't matter anymore, the truth will be told once they get here. (The doorbell 
rings and Galen gets up to get it. He opens the door and lets Jason, Mark, Terra, Terrell, 
Shalonda, and Mikel in.)

Hiru: They finally got here.

Kuma: Can we eat now?

Jennifer: I hope that I'm missing DBZ for a good reason.

Jason: So Galen, what's this all about?

Galen: Don't ask me, this was Kuma and Elijah's idea.

(They all turned their attention to Elijah and Kuma who was looking a shade paler.)

Kuma: Well you see; this is about Jason and them. *The rest of you guys are for 
protection if they decide to kill us. *

Elijah: You say you guys have a large memory block that's kind of fuzzy. Well I, I mean 
we can explain that.
Kuma: You guys were made in our laboratories. Your friends from Galen's past life.

Galen and Tora: (Snaps their fingers.) That's why they look familiar.

Jason: You mean to tell me that were really dead.

Elijah: Actually we are all dead. We were created by the original Galen to help end this 
war.

Mark: What gives you the right to do such a thing, without our permission.

Kuma: Well, I'd feel kind of dumb going to a dead person and asks, "Hey can I use your 
DNA to bring you back to life.

Elijah: And what's better, being alive or dead. Plus your better than you were in your 
previous life, and the reason being is that your cyborgs. 

Mikel: That would explain why I can move so fast lift heavy objects. Plus I get high ass 
scores in this game called "Raven Shield".

Galen: Something told me that I knew you guys from somewhere. My memory inputted 
by my creator doesn't really go back as far as his teen years, but there's fragments of it 
still there.

Shalonda: So you two created our MCU as well?

Elijah: No not really. I made Jason's, Terra's, and Terrell's.

Kuma: And I made Mark's, Mikel's, and Shalonda's.

Terrell: So you know all of its weapons and combat skills. Let us see them.

Elijah: Fine. You sure you're not mad, because I don't want to get jumped as soon as I 
turn my back.

Terra: Were okay. I mean, how many people can get a second chance at life, and never 
grow old. So I'm stay beautiful forever.

Elijah: Good, come over here to my laptop. I brought it just in case you guys wanted to 
know more about your mechanical bodies. You guys have hidden weapons on you too. 
They're located on the side of your arms and legs. You just have to send a message from 
your brain to flip over the compartment. (They experiment and after a few tries are able 
to get their weapons out.)

Kuma: You other guys come over here. I got my Portable PC as well. (He pulled up the 
screen with all the data on Mark, Mikel, and Shalonda.)

Elijah: See now the Devil Ninja piloted by Jason has unique qualities borrowed from 
those two games he liked. Such as the ability to throw his sword and retract it back, and 
the skill to keep enemies or yourself in the air with your firearms. It has a hidden super 
mode as well where it unfolds its wings and gains a new sword. Its power then depends 
on the users V.P.C. That's your Vitality Power Core located where your heart should be. 
The Dark Angel has a unique ability to jump at extremely high heights due to its agile 
form. It has a variety of long-range weapons and a few melee weapons for close contact. 
The Battuosai X's skills relies totally on its sword, without it, its almost useless unless 
the user can find another way to fight. But wit its sword it is almost unstoppable. It is the 
fastest of the three designs and can cause quick and strong attacks on multiple enemies 
such as its Ground Dragon Flash, which sends the ground exploding in the enemy's 
direction. That's all I have really. You can review this file yourself for detailed 
explanations of your moves.

Jason: Thanks man, we appreciate what you've done. You're a smart guy to be able to 
create perfect machines.

Taj: Don't let that go to your head; we're the best team around.

Terrell: Do you want to put your sword where your mouth is?

Elijah: That sounds like a challenge.

Terra: Our team versus your. Piece of cake, you'll regret making our MCU once we're 
done.

Tora: Hey, you're going to have to wait in line. We've been waiting for a chance to do 
combat with them.

Galen: Why is everybody after us all the time.

Sakura: Because your always starting something with us. (She winked at me and smiled.)

Mark: Why don't we have an all out battle to decide which of us three is the better group 
of MCU fighters?

Shalonda: Sounds like a good idea to me.

Mikel: Then it's decided. Why don't we go now? I know the perfect place. There's a 
large abandoned industrial plant near here. Not a civilian in range of my sniper scope.

Brandon: So lets get going. (He had just finished beating Keith who was taking his anger 
out on the CPU opponents.) Come on Keith, practice won't help you. You need a prayer 
to be able to beat me.

Neko: So we'll meet you guys there in thirty minutes, that'll give all of us time to get our 
MCU.

Jennifer: But where is it?

Mark: I know where it. (He sends a map display out of a projector in his wrist. It show 
the location of the battle site and how to get there.) See I learn quickly. Its good to be a 
cyborg.

Jason: Shouldn't our children be alive, that is, if we had any. I really can't remember if I 
had any though.

Galen: I don't think it's a good idea to just show up at their house when you're supposed 
to be dead. You'll give them a heart attack or something, or at least give them nightmares 
about people coming back from the dead.

Jason: I guess your right. I'll check for any other Wongs in the phone book to make sure.

Brandon: I have a younger sister who's still alive. But of course I can't go see her.

Galen: I know how you feel. I got three younger brothers and a little sister. They're all 
successful business people. They remind me of myself. Well anyway, lets get moving. 
We have a battle to get to. (They all leave Galen's house to get their MCU.)

[At Battle Site]

Galen: So how's this going to go? We all just fight at once and the last person on a 
certain team is declared the victor for his team.

Jason: Except this isn't a death match. This is a one hit kill type thing. Once you're hit 
with a close range attack your eliminated, so no long-range weaponry.

Mikel: Damn it! That's all I have really, except this heat army knife, and it's so fuckin 
short that it's useless.

Neko: So you're already at a disadvantage.

Terrell: Don't worry. My skill will more than make up for it.

Jennifer: But how will we know if somebody gets hit. They're bound to lie to keep 
themselves in the game.

Tora: I say we take someone off of our team to keep watch of the game. That way it'll be 
an unbiased decision.

Galen: That's a good idea. Keith you keep watch for us ok. Your MCU is kind of bulky 
and would hinder your movement. You'd probably be eliminated quickly.

Keith: Yea, I understand. *Of the six of us, he chooses me to be watchdog, this some 
bullshit! * (The other two leaders chose a member to leave the group as well, except 
Tora's team who was already short one member of their team.)

Sakura: So when do we start?

Elijah: When we pair off with the people were going to fight first and what reason we 
have for that match up.

Jason: Well, of course the leaders got to go at it.

Elijah: Fine, then Kuma, Terra, and I shall duke it out. Seeing as were the second in 
commands.

Sakura: Jennifer, Shalonda, and myself will fight.

Shalonda: The reason being?

Sakura: Well, during one point in time of Galen's life, he's had a crush on us.

Shalonda: Ok, now that makes sense.

Terrell: Taj, Hiru shall face me in combat. Seeing as we are the fastest it's only fair.

Brandon: That leaves Me, Mark and, Neko, because Uhh...there's no one else, that's 
why. Can we get to fighting already. I got a ton of homework to get done.

Galen: Okay then. Then lets get too it. (We separated into our three groups with enough 
space to fight without bumping into another group.)

Jason: Set your weapons to a low intensity if your using beam weapons. Oh and one more 
thing. No double weapons, some of us don't have but one close range weapon.

Galen: Well that sucks. (Galen puts away his other beam saber away.) Now if that's all 
that needs to be said, lets' get started. (He charges at Tora to take him out first.)

Tora: I figured he'd go for me. He's so typical. Jason's just sitting there. Is he waiting for 
a good opportunity to attack? I can't allow that. (He lunges in Jason's direction just as 
Galen reaches his previous location.)

Galen: Hey, get back here you coward!

Jason: Wouldn't you guys want to settle your dispute before you come to lose to me? 
Very well then, let me end this fight for you. (He strikes at Tora who dodges, but doesn't 
see the attack from Galen and he is hit and eliminated.)

Tora: Damn you Galen. I was double-teamed. Not fair at all.

Galen: All's fair in love and war. (Jason goes to attack Galen with speedy slices; Galen 
narrowly escapes the assault and throws his sword at Jason. Jason deflects it, but Galen 
strikes him with another sword and Jason is eliminated.)

Jason: Hey I thought I said no using two weapons at a time!

Galen: Well as you can see there is only one weapon in my hands. Therefore I have not 
broken your rule.

Jason: You big cheat. That was a fluke match. Wait until next time.

(By then Mark had beaten Terrell who had and Jennifer had finished off Kuma.)

Jennifer: So it's down to the three of us huh?

Mark: *I think they're going to come after me; they're on the same team. I better keep on 
my toes and wait for a good chance to get a quick hit in.*

Galen: So Jennifer, how about we end this. (He jumps in the air toward Jennifer.)

Jennifer: I'll show you not to underestimate me you jerk.

Mark: *Now's my chance. Galen's in the air so he's vulnerable to a ground attack, and 
Jennifer is concentrating on him. * (He jumps forward quickly and strikes at Jennifer 
with his weapon. Jennifer simply ducks and raises her staff knocking Mark into the 
stomach and sending him flying. Then she turns in time to block Galen's attack. *

Jason: Hey guys its over. Your team has won.

Galen: No. It's not over until there is one left. (He presses his sword down harder against 
Jennifer's weapon.)

Jennifer: Yea, your right. And I will be the one. (She jumps up over Galen's arm with her 
leg and grabs the swords out of his hand. She kicks him in the head with the other leg 
making Galen fall to the ground. With one quick motion she lightly taps him in the head 
with her staff and drops Galen's sword on his body.) I win.

Galen: Nice move. That flexible MCU of yours allows you to do extraordinary things. 

Jennifer: My MCU's not the only thing flexible.

Sakura: Hey, stop hitting on my man.

Jason: The winner is Jennifer. The M-ninjas are the best MCU group of all.

[Back at Galen's house]

Jennifer: That victory was for all of us. A toast to us girls. We rule. (Jennifer, Sakura, 
Terra, and Shalonda clink their glasses of fruit punch together.)

Tora: Nice going Galen. How could you let her beat you? After all my attempts at beating 
you. You allow her to cream you like that.

Elijah: Yea, now they'll be gloating for days on end.

Galen: I don't know how it happened. I guess I wasn't paying attention. *At least she's 
smiling again. I guess what I did was for the better. *

Jennifer: Hey losers. You going to eat or mope around all day.

Galen: *Or maybe I should have beaten the living daylights out of her, it might have been 
less embarrassing than this. * Yea, yea. Keep your shirt on. Unless you don't want to. 
(He stopped smiling when he saw he was receiving death glares from Sakura.) I was just 
playing. No sense of humor what so ever.

Sakura: It seems that I've been neglecting you so much that your attention is wavering 
away from me. I'll change that later.

Galen: *Why'd she have to say that in front us everybody. I can sense the guys behind 
me laughing and I can see the girls in front of me smiling. * (Turning away from the 
groups embarrassed.) I got homework to do. You guys clean up this mess you made and 
excuse yourselves from my house when you're done. (He goes upstairs to his room.)

Terra: Sakura, you know you want to follow him.

Sakura: Not right now. When he's embarrassed nothing will get his attention till he get 
over it.

Taj: I didn't know you and he... (He fumbled around in his mind for the right words then 
gave up.)

Kuma: Wow. Go Galen.

Jennifer: Could you guys please change the subject? There are better things to discuss 
than those two's business.


Neko: You wouldn't happen to be jealous now would you? (Jennifer suddenly grabbed 
Neko's collar and lifted him up against the wall.)

Jennifer: I dare you to say that again.

Neko: Your...choking...me...

Galen: Hey, what's going on down there?

Jennifer: (Drops Neko to the ground and he gasps for air.) Nothing, were just leaving.

(Kuma picks up Neko and helps him out of the door.) Kuma: That wasn't a smart move 
man. You know girls get crazy when they get mad.

Neko: Looks like I have a lot to learn about women.

Hiru: Yea, when they're happy with you, you're on top of the world. But when they're 
mad, you're just as important as gum on a shoe.

Elijah: You got that right.

(They all leave Galen's house. Then Jennifer came back to drag Sakura who was hiding 
out in the kitchen.)

Jennifer: Your going to work that boy to death.

Sakura: Why can't you just leave us aloooooone! (She folded her arms and pouted.
