Mission 9

Previously:
	Keith and Brandon fight to get to their MCUs. They 
allow a couple of girls to live because they had no choice 
but to listen to the captain that Brandon killed. They 
finally make it to the hangar, but a surprise awaits them. 
Raion and Neko, the twins of Keith and Brandon were waiting 
for them as Keith predicted. After a long exchange of words 
they charge into battle. Traveling further south we go back 
to Elijah and Taj who have just awaken to prepare for their 
battle with Kuma and Hiru. The match between Galen and Tora 
are going to start soon. It's a chapter full of comedy. 
Mission accepted, commence typing of Chapter 9 of my 
longest running story yet.

[In America. Baltimore, Maryland]

Tora: You know I can skate better than you.

Galen: Oh yea, well try this. (Jumps in the air, spins and 
lands backwards, then starts skating backwards.)

Tora: Oh please. That's child's play. Watch this! (He does 
a back flip and lands backwards.) How'd you like that. It 
feels good to be superior to you in every way.

Galen: Whatever, and you better watch out...(But it was too 
late, Tora had skated to the barrier and flipped over it 
landing on his head.) ... for that wall. Oh, well. He 
deserved that. (He started smiling while Jennifer continued 
to skate like she hadn't noticed or had something more 
important on her mind, and Sakura was giggling like a giddy 
school girl. A few of the other teenagers in the ring were 
laughing; others were looking concerned.)

Tora: What the hell are you all laughing at? (The place got 
quiet suddenly. Sakura was stifling her laugh. Tora shot 
her an angry glare and she straightened up.)

Galen: You need to pay more attention to where your going, 
loser. (He placed his fingers in an "L" shape on his 
forehead. He was quickly approaching one of the walls 
surrounding the ring. But at the last second he jumped on 
the wall and started skating on it. Everyone started 
clapping.)

Tora: Fucking show off. I'll get him yet. Wait until that 
game starts.

Skating Ring Worker: Hey, young man, get off the wall 
before you hurt yourself.

Galen: Fine, fine, you fun crasher. (He gracefully did a 
cartwheel and landed forward on his skates. Which was 
followed by a bow to the other people.) Thank you, you're 
too kind.

Tora: I can't wait until later. I want to cream him now. 
(Sakura skated up to him.)

Sakura: Hey, don't get so worked up over nothing. Life 
isn't all about revenge and killing. You've got to learn to 
live and let go. (Missy Elliot's song "Work It" came on.) 
Ohhh, this is one of my favorite oldies. See ya. (She 
winked at him and skated and to do her thing on the skate 
floor.)

Tora: That girl is trouble; I can see what Hiru was saying 
though. Her body more than makes up for her annoyance 
though. But she's right, I got to learn to not let my anger 
get to me, I could probably make a whole lot of friends. 
Maybe I can patch things up with Galen and them. Nah! Were 
rivals for life, and I kind of like it better that way. 
(Just then Galen skated past.)

Galen: Hey Tora! You just going to sit on her ass all day 
or show me those moves you said you had. Where's your 
threat to skate circles around me now. Hahaha.

Tora: *It's hard to reform myself when that jerk keeps 
putting me down, well I'll show him.* (Jumps to his feet 
and skates beside Galen and the two start performing 
various maneuvers.)

(Sakura and Jennifer were just chilling by the sidewall 
watching the two embarrass them.)

Jennifer: They look like a ice skating duet that don't get 
along.

Sakura: And everyone knows were with them, because we came 
in here with them arguing continuously. The only time they 
stopped was to get a drink from the water fountain, but 
then they continued up again. Want to go get a pizza?

Jennifer: Yea why not. (They walked to the food counter and 
ordered a couple boxes of pizza. Then they sat down) Look 
I'm really sorry about calling you a bitch at our battle.

Sakura: Its ok. It was expected, you've always disliked me 
when you found out we killed our creator.

Jennifer: That's the reason I'm apologizing. I know you 
guys didn't really do it. You were trying to save him from 
the lab explosion, but Galen who had just awoken thought 
you had done it.

Sakura: (The pizza she was holding fell to her plate.) 
How...did you know that?

Jennifer: You let your mental guard down when you looked at 
Galen skating across the wall. You were thinking, "He's so 
cool, I wish he were mine." Am I not correct? You also 
thought, "It's a shame we have to keep this charade up, why 
does Tora insist we say that we killed Doctor Galen." So 
then I examined your database further and found out that 
that was true. Why have you been lying to us?

Sakura: You know how scarce it is to find good competition 
in this day and age. Tora wanted to strike up a rivalry 
between our two groups and he knew that saying we killed 
the creator would strike a burning hatred toward us. But as 
you can see, it's getting out of hand. Raion and Neko are 
as we speaking battling Keith and Brandon. And Hiru and 
Kuma went out to pick a fight with Taj and Elijah. Soon, 
we'll all be destroyed by falsehood. I've tried to convince 
Tora to come out with the truth, but he insist that things 
remain the way it is. And please don't tell anyone I told 
you, because I don't know what Tora would do if he found 
out.

Jennifer: So you think he'll hurt you? If he does, you can 
call on me. There's no power greater than girl power. So 
what do you say we end this trifle bitterness between us, 
friend.

Sakura: You mean it. This is so cool. This is a milestone 
in this ridiculous scheme made up by Tora. Besides, us 
girls have to stick to together, who else is going to keep 
the guys in check when they get out of line.

Jennifer: Right! Now what do you say we stop those two 
fools from embarrassing us any further. I got an idea. Hey 
boys! You want some food?

(Galen and Tora suddenly stop skating in their weird 
looking dance of out staging the other.) Galen and Tora: 
Food?! (Suddenly all of the skaters were knocked down by a 
sonic boom as Galen and Tora rocketed by leaving a smoky 
silhouette and deep marks on the floor. Within seconds they 
were gobbling down pizza.)

Jennifer: See, I told you I knew how to get them to stop.

Galen: Hey, I bet I can eat more than you can!

Tora: You're on!

(Jennifer and Sakura hang their heads in disgust.) Sakura: 
You two just don't quit do you. (Pretty soon Tora started 
choking and Sakura had to dislodged the piece of pizza 
stuck in his throat with a good punch to the stomach.)

Galen: Ha ha! I win! You are once again, the LOSER!

Jennifer: Why do you keep embarrassing me?

Galen: I'm sorry, but I'm a bit competitive.

Jennifer: Save it for the game, you trying to kill somebody 
or something.

Tora: Can you just get me something to drink; I'm totally 
parched over here.

Galen: Yea, Jennifer can you be oh so kind enough to get me 
something as well. Thank you

Jennifer: I'm not your maid, but ok. But you owe me for 
this and that skating fee you stuck me with. Money don't 
grow on trees you know, and it's hard to counterfeit these 
new bills.

Sakura: I'll be right back Tora. (She winked at Galen, 
which made him a bit uncomfortable.)

Jennifer: I saw that Sakura.

Sakura: I'm sorry, but like I said before; he's free and if 
he weren't always isolated by battles and was around people 
a lot more it would be some other girls.

Jennifer: But you've been with three other members of your 
team.

Sakura: Sure I went out with them. But I never fucked them.

Jennifer: That's not what I heard Tora say earlier to 
Galen.

Sakura: I'll kill him. That must be just guy talk. You know 
how they do. They claim things to make them look superior 
to their peers. I'm still a virgin like you; so don't 
worry. I'm not the slut that they portray me to be.

Jennifer: I guess I was wrong about you then. But Galen 
still has a broken heart from our breakup, so right now 
would just not be a good time to approach him. Besides I'm 
kind of having second thoughts about...never mind. Excuse me 
can we get some service down here.

Food Stand Worker: Oh, I'm sorry. How can I help you?

P.A. System: Would the contestants for the Roller Ball 
event please proceed to the second floor. I repeat; would 
the contestants for the Roller Ball event please proceed to 
the second floor.

Galen: That'll be us my friend, you ready for an ass 
beating.

Tora: We haven't even heard the rules yet, and besides, 
what makes you think you'll beat me. (Jennifer and Sakura 
came back with the drinks and Tora and Galen downed them 
fast then walked to the stairway with Jennifer and Sakura 
following close behind. They saw Nicole coming down the 
stairs she pointed out Tora and Galen to a girl behind her 
that looked exactly like her.)

Nicole's Twin: My name's Natasha, we're going to have fun 
tonight. (They continued on down the stairs.)

Galen: Dawg, she got a twin sister!

Tora: So it seems. At least they'll be no fight between us 
two now that there's two of them.

Galen: Let's get this over with. (They start slapping each 
other high fives.) Hey did it suddenly get hot in here.

Tora: Not to my knowledge. Unless...uh oh. (They turn around 
slowly and behold the anger of two pissed off black 
sisters.)

Sakura: You two are such pigs!

Jennifer: I can't believe we even know you!

Sakura and Jennifer: DIE! (They reel their feet back and 
boot Galen and Tora up the stairs and through the roof. 
They fall back down and into the roller ball arena.)

Galen: Owwwww!

Tora: Man, what's their problem?

Announcer: And here they are. Making a dramatic entrance.

(Galen and Tora jump up to their feet and bow to the small 
crowd. Jennifer and Sakura make it upstairs and their eyes 
were glowing red.)

Galen: Uh, please point us to the changing room.

Announcer: But...

Tora: Now!

Announcer: Fine, but we need to explain to you the rules of 
the game.

Galen: Fine, just do it in the locker room where it's safe.

(The announcer led Galen and Tora to the locker room where 
they change into their uniforms issued by the contest 
givers.)

Announcer: Ok, the objective of this game is the same as 
basketball except there are ramps and fouls are allowed. On 
each side of the court are baskets that are color-coded to 
the uniform your wearing. You are to skate to that basket 
with the ball in your possession, shoot up the ramp and 
score. But the hard part is catching the ball, see the ball 
is very bouncy and will bounce of the walls of the enclosed 
area. You must catch the ball and then get past the various 
traps in the court then score. It's not as easy as it 
seems.

Galen: Sounds like fun to me, how about you Tora.

Tora: I'm all revved up and ready to go!

Announcer: Good! Now lets not hold the audience waiting any 
longer.

Galen: There's only like ten people out there and two of 
them are probably going to kill us.

Announcer: Yea, sure. You can leave and waste your money if 
you want.

Tora: Hell no! I paid a full twenty dollars to cream this 
guy and I'm going to do it. (He laces up his skates and 
skates out onto the court and was followed by Galen. The 
audience cheered, except two people who just gave them 
death glares that made them fear for their life.)

Tora: Hey Galen, let's make a bet.

Galen: What kind of bet?

Tora: Well, whomever makes it out of here alive gets to get 
the sexy twins Nicole and Natasha. And of course those two 
twins up will massacre the person that gets stuck behind 
there.

Galen: What if we both make it out?

Tora: Then we both end this day happily.

Galen: Deal.

Tora: Great. And I forgot to say, may the best man win.

Galen: Don't worry I will.

Announcer: Contestants Ready! (Galen and Tora nodded their 
heads.) Ready! Set! Go!

(A ball launches out of a hole in the floor and flies off 
at a high speed. They took off in that direction, but the 
ball was already bouncing back their way.)

Galen: I got it!

Tora: No, I got it!

(They both dived for it and bashed heads as the ball flew 
past them. Laughter could be heard in the stands from two 
cute teenage girls who still happen to be very angry with 
Galen and Tora.)

Galen: Man that thing is fast. (He gets up and skates off 
in the bouncing balls direction.) Now all I need to do is 
time it right and know where it'll go next by judging the 
angle of contact. (The ball bounced off the next wall at an 
angle and turned to go past Galen.) Now! (He jumped and 
grabbed the ball in mid air and skated off toward his black 
and red goal. Tora was already on his feet and storming in 
Galen's direction. Galen kicked it into high gear but Tora 
was still gaining on him.)

Tora: Where do you think your going with that? (He jumped 
at Galen who simply ducked under Tora's assault and skated 
up his ramp and dunked the ball in.

Announcer: And in record time the Shadow Team has made a 
point, will the Super Sonic Team make a comeback?

(Another ball shot out of the ground right under Tora and 
it took him into the sky and he smashed into the ceiling, 
but he landed on his feet and skated off to his goal.)

Tora: Catch me if you can.

Galen: Believe me I will. (As Galen approached Tora a hole 
opened up in the floor and he was dropped inside. Tora 
scored just as Galen climbed out.)

Announcer: It seems that the Shadow Team member has fallen 
into one of the randomly placed traps.

Galen: This is ludicrous. It opened when I went over it.

Tora: Don't be such a bitch about it.

Galen: Oh I got your bitch, motherfucker.

Announcer: And now for the first time today we have a tie. 
Everyone give a hand to our talented contestants. There's 
five minutes remaining the game can go either way. We're 
now going to have a short intermission so please be back 
here in a minute. (About half of the audience left toward 
the food court while the others went to the bathroom. Galen 
and Tora skated up to the wall.)

Sakura: You guys took some pretty hard hits; you don't seem 
to be in any pain though.

Galen: Yea, we're men. We can take anything.

Jennifer: Oh really. (Sakura and Jennifer poked Galen and 
Tora in their sides and they screamed in pain.)

Sakura and Jennifer: Oh brother.
