Little Tokyo High Offbeat - Dash's Trip to America!

[DashStPierre]

So each of the friends shook TGL's hand and they all settled down to catch the rest of the movie. Well...except Dash.

Dash: Hey huys can you excuse me for a minute?

Then he leaned over to TGL

I need you to stay with my friends right now bro, I have to call my Grandma.

[TGLucario475]

TGL: sure thing ... (TGL asked Dash's friends) ... so what film are we watching then?

Gary: The Dark Knight

TGL: oh sweet, i've heard brilliant reviews about this movie from GameSpot & IGN

Dash walks off to call his granma

[Blackcat]

Jack was at home, resting lazily is his bed, with no worries at all, and bored as heck!

Jack: Ah bore- doom!, Is like everyone is in a party and I am not invited...

And inside Jack mind...

???: Jack needs a girlfriend!

Blue eyes catgirl: I don't know who you are mysterious voice, but you are right!

Red eyes Jack: Thats not a bad idea, but... what girl thats not crazy or evil would date jack?

???: No idea...

[DashStPierre]

TGL: sure thing ... (TGL asked Dash's friends) ... so what film are we watching then?

Gary: The Dark Knight

TGL: oh sweet, i've heard brilliant reviews about this movie from GameSpot & IGN

Dash walks off to call his granma

Dash pulled out his cell phone and dialed up his grandmother's house

Grams: hello?
Dash: Hey Grams!
Grams: Good to hear from you again my boy! how are you liking CA?
Dash: Its awesome! hey have you gotten any calls from my job?
Grams: Why yes...Francine said to be on the lookout for her to call you about something important in the next couple days...
Dash: gotcha...so how are the sisters?
Grams: being girls thankfully...I havent had to tie either of them to the bed recently...they are so hyper sometimes...they are actually at a friends house for the night so I can get a little peace and quiet.
Dash: I feel ya there...hey I gotta run back into meet my friends but tell Francine she can call me anytime.
Grams: you got it...enjoy yourself
Dash: Yes Grams...bye


So Dash hung up his phone...gladthat for once he might not have to transform and be able to enjoy his vacation

(OOC: Hey Kyo, where you at?)

[TGLucario475]

As Dash walked back into the movie room, the movie was about the start

Gary: hey, good timing, the movie is about to start!

(OOC: TEYANDEE....hoilday time, no action from me for 2 weeks ... so dont make me look like a idiot Dash )

[DashStPierre]

Dash was about to sit down to enjoy the movie with his friends, when suddenly his phone vibrated off his hip...he stepped out of the theater picked it up.

Dash: Hello, Dash here.
Francine: Hey Dash, I I guess your grandmother told you I would call...hey there is a chance that one of Bg Cheese's cousins may be up to no good out your way...think you could check it out?
Dash: Are you serious???
Francine...unfortunately yes...
Dash: rrr...alright...

[DashStPierre]

So Dash slipped out of the theater and headed to an isolated area away from people and extended his umbrella

BY THE POWER OF LIGHT!

So Dash transformed into his armor and called Francine on his commlink

Dash: Alright Fran...send me the coordinates.
Francine: Sending now Dash...

(Hey anybody want to take on a character or two outside of the ones theyve created? need to get things rolling on this story and I cant carry it myself)

[KyoZaber]

Dash began moving through the city... Silently... Switfly... Just as he had done in Little Tokyo.
Francine's directions weren't too far from the theater... Unfortunately it was going to mean he'd miss the first 15 minutes of the movie... If he were lucky...
This included the trailers for new movies. Arguably one of the best reasons to go to a movie.

Far off in his site was his goal... A tall business building... It would only take 3 more minutes to get there... His mind repeated Francine's words...

-= Francine: Once you get to the Kuji Business Associates, check the office suites near the middle of the building... That's all we know at this point... =-

*** Meanwhile... Back at the Theater... ***

Gary: *Leans back, looking at the door.* Where the heck is that goober... *Looks at his watch.* The film's going to start any second now...

Ashley: *Holding a little plush anime character in her hands.* He... He's probably... well... you know...

Karlos: *Finishing up a game on his Gameboy.* She's right. He's probably taking a dump man. I heard what you dudes had tonight, I know how your mom cooks.

Gary: *Rolls his eyes.* No, you only know how my dad cooks. *Sits back, folding his arms.* Besides... You're the schmuck who didn't read what the bottle in the fridge said it was BEFORE you put it into your glass.

Karlos: Hey man! It's not my fault they don't just call it “Laxitive” alright!?

*Before the fight got any worse Brock took out two hoagie sandwiches which he had snuck in, and stuck them into Gary and Brock's mouths.*

Leslie: Shhh~ It's starting!

*The lights of the theater dimmed... Then Ashley shrieked, and squeezed the nearest person... TGL ... So hard his back made a loud CRACK!*

[Blackcat]

*Meanwhile, somewhere in Little Tokyo…

Jack was in the shower,  the water was cold,  and that always made him have weird thoughts. He sang the TNMT theme while he day dreamed about being the emperor of evil, destroying Little Tokyo with an army of robotic ninja crows...

In his daydream he saw a cat girl in a red dress, with two white horns in her head, and with black fur and red stripes. The girl was cryng over a death body. That body was destroyed and had no head, but what it had where remains of what it looked like Dash armor....

Jack woke up of his daydream, shocked, and closed the water, his head hurt like hell, he touched it, it was hot, he had fever. Jack dried himselft with a towel, took an aspirin, and whent to bed... maybe he had got a cold or something?

PS: Dum dum dum!

[DashStPierre]

Dash arrived at the building in the coordinates. He knew that Francine hadnt finished the stealth modifications to his armor so he was just gonna have to be careful moving through.

He transformed out of his armor so that he would not draw security drones and went to the front desk.

Dash: Hey, can you point me to a bathroom?
Secretary: Sure, down the hall, first right, then first left by the elevators
Dash: alright thanks.

So Dash followed her directions and he slipped just inside the bathroom and waited...

[KyoZaber]

***Meanwhile... Back in Little Tokyo High... In the air conditioned faculty room...***

Ms. Anari : *Sitting at her faculty desk... Mouthing words into her desk fan.* Rawrrawrawraaarwarrrr... Frrreeeeddd... FREEEDDDDD.... Iiii aaammm youuurrrr faaaattthhhherrrr~

She'd been up most of the day... thinking heavily on what the strange grey fox from nowhere had been telling her...

Ms. Anari : So riddle me this Anari? How does a school teacher like you take a class like yours on a short trip to America with no parental slips, no forewarning, and away from all their fun summer activities? ... *Sighs... then slams her fists down onto the desk.* This sucks!

(Voice) : Did I just hear you say a free trip to America!? I LOVE AMERICA!!!

Ms. Anari : -=Oh please almighty no...=- *Slowly she turned around... A forced un-easy smile spread across her face.* Mrs. Rumiku! What're you doing here eavesdropping?

Mrs. Rumiku : *Devilishly grins, sauntering up to Mrs.Anari.* Well my dear... I happened to be in here preparing my literature books for my literature class when I heard someone talking to themselves! You really should see a doctor about that, you know~? Oh~ ho ho ho ho!

Ms. Anari : Ugg... could this get any worse?

As if on cue... approximately 24 other faculty popped out of places in the office. Each had a grin on their faces... and travel bags in their hands. Each tagged for one destination... The USA.

*** Back in America... In the Kuji Business Associates first floor bathroom...***

As Dash waited in one of the stalls... he heard the bathroom door open... then close...
Two individuals made their way past the stalls, and began using the other stalls as the far end...

(Guy 1) : So... What do ya think the boss has in mind?

(Guy 2) : Dude! Tryin to go hear... don't need commentary!

(Guy 1) : I think the plan's stupid. It ain't gonna work. Seriously... it's very... very stupid...

(Guy 2) : I'm serious dude. Shut up! Bathroom time is quiet time!

(Guy 1) : I tell ya, these bathrooms on the base floor suck. They ain't nothin like the boss's room up on the 23rd floor. Now those thrones, I swear, pure silver!

(Guy 2) : *Places his hands over his ears.* LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA~ NOT LISTENING!

(Guy 1) : *Continues rambling.*

[DashStPierre]

Dash chuckled at the silliness of the men in the neighboring stalls. Finally they finished their business and washed their hands. As they left Dash quietly slipped out of his stall and followed. He saw them step onto the elevator. he watched the numbers count up to 5 then stop. He raced for the stairs and rocketed up to the 5th floor but waited a few moments before opening the door so he could follow from a safe distance. he watched the two men from a far as they went down the hall and turned left down another hallway. Dash soon follwoed and he saw them just long enough to see them go into an office and shut the door. he crept over to the office, took his helmet off and listened in on the conversation inside...

[Blackcat]

So... lets see what is happening in Little Tokyo High airtport… at the Check-in counters

Low wage  employee1: Why are a all those people dressed like High school students? And why is the “suposed” Teacher they have looks so angry?

Low wage  employee2: No idea, but they dont pay me enough to care...

[DashStPierre]

ms Anari was not happy about this impromptu class trip to America (especailly since it was coming out of her salary for the next year) and she made sure to make her displeasure very apparent on her face (although she kept very careful to not let it come out of her mouth)

(since Kyo controls the teacher characters for the most part I'll let him pick it up from there)

[KyoZaber]

It truly was a ... "interesting" sight to behold. Most of the teachers looked like they'd either been held back for ages, or has severe hormonal problems. The only teacher that “almost” blended in was Mrs. Efields... however it was due to a more ... "interesting" reason... Earlier that day, she'd tried to convince the faculty to use one of her inventions... However... it only had 1 setting... 12-years-old... and it blew up after she used it on herself.

Mrs. Efields : *Sighs...* What's so hard to believe about a young 12-year old girl in a freshman's High School class?

Ms. Anari : I couldn't tell ya. Maybe you should ask all the child prodigies in your class.

Mrs. Efields : ... Good point.

After much hustle, and bustle, everyone finally boarded the plane. All of the teachers were excited... ready to go.

Pilot : *Clicks on the intercom... Talking in a gruff voice...* Attention passengers! This is your Captain speaking... We're gonna be flyin over the blue ocean towards the USA here in a bit. However, before we go there's a few things you should know.

One! - No loud noises!
Two! - No soft noises!
Three! - No complainin about the food!
Four! - No sayin “Bomb” on the airplane!
Five! - In case of an emergency, don't dive into the blue ocean! It's evil!
Six! - My navigator Griff is stupid. So we may be up in the air a while.
Seven! - If you hear English spoken over the intercom don't panic. It's just my faithful robot, Robot, talking to ya. Unfortunately all he can speak is English... *Grumbles* Lousy microprocessors...
Eight! - No one try to guess my secret password.
Nine! - No teachers allowed on my flight!
And number ten... Enjoy the flight!

Ms. Anari : ... Wow... *Looks over at Mrs. Efields, smiling brightly.* I've got to buy bargain bin tickets more often! This is going to be a fun flight!

Mrs. Efields : Oh dear...

While everyone was worried... Mrs. Rumiku made her joy apparent as the plane sped off the runway into the air...

Mrs. Rumiku : Hold on to your hats boys an girls... We're going up up and away!

*** Back in time... Back in America... In the Kuji Business Associates first floor offices... ***

?? : Where in the world were you nitwits!?

(Guy 1) : *Holding an ice-pack to his jaw.* Well... we were using the bathroom...

(Guy 2) : *Holding an ice-pack to his right-hand.* ... Please don't ask Boss...

(Boss) : Ok whatever... I need you two to get over here and help me. I lost the secret key somewhere in my desk and I can't find it.

(Guy 1) : Aww boss, not again! How're we going to get into the secret passage in your special bathroom without it!?

(Boss) : *Quickly stands up, hissing at guy 1.* Quiet! Keep your voice down you ninny!

From behind Dash... a tall dark figure looms out of nowhere...
A large hand plops down onto Dash's shoulder...

??-2 : Hey, I don't remember seeing you around here before...

??-2 : Hey, I don't remember seeing you around here before...

Dash perked up then said with a smirk on his face

Dash: No...you havent, and you wont see much else in a second.

With that he dropped into a horse stance, pulled out his umbrella and transformed:

BY THE POWER OF LIGHT!

The henchmen was blinded by the bright light that flashed as Dash turned into his battle armor and quickly raced down the hall, the henchmen groping around trying to get his bearings.

Dash: phew...that was close. But Im gonna have to find out about this secret passage thing they were talking about...maybe I can find out more of what this guy is up to. I just hope the others are enjoying the movie... (I'll let Kyo take the next sequence involving Dash's friends)

[KyoZaber]

*** Back at the Theater... ***

The movie had since gone past the introductions and the beginning credits...

Leslie : *On her 5th extra-large bucket of popcorn.* Hmm... I've gotta say guys... *Munch munch munch...* I think this flick's headed for a plot twist pretty soon.

Karlos : *Slurping down his first slushie.* Nah... It's startin out too slow. We're light years away from anything remotely happening in this flick. *Looks over at Brock, noticing that Brock's eating a steak.* ... Dude... Aren't you freaked out that you're a Bull... and you're eating steak?

Ashley : *Screams, squeezing TGL super-tightly for the 12th time this evening... this time causing his feet to resound with a loud “CRACK!”* EEEEKKK! No! Not steak!!!

Brock : *Begins to open his mouth to say something...*

Gary : *Interrupts Brock before he can say anything.* K-Dog, not everyone is allergic to steak like you are.

Karlos : *Slaps his forehead with the palm of his hand.* That's not the point dude! Brock, the bull, is eating STEAK! Where do you think STEAK comes fro~

A loud scream echoes through the theater... this time it wasn't from Ashley... it was from Leslie.

Leslie : *Tears streaming out of her eyes...* I'M OUT OF POPCORN!!!!

Brock : *Reaches into his baggy pants, and pulls out another extra-large tub of popcorn. Then hands it over to Leslie. Nodding, and smiling.*

Leslie : Thanks Brock! *Pecks him on the cheek.*

*** Back in the Kuji Business Associates first floor hallway... A distance away from the Office Dash was at... ***

Blinded Guard : Ugg... Stupid blinding light... Boss! Boss! I'm blind! *Begins banging on the door.*

The door opens up, however the guard keeps banging the head of a shadowy-cloaked figure.

(Boss) : Ouch! Ooff! *Raises his hands up.* Hey! Knock! *Ducks, yet still is getting hit.* Dag-gum-it! *Kicks the Blinded Guard in the shin.* KNOCK IT OFF YOU NINNY!

Blinded Guard : OUCHIES! *Begins hopping around on one foot.* What'd ya do that for Boss!?

(Boss) : Silence you boob! Get in here and help these two out with the project... *Grabs him by the shirt and pulls him in. The door slams shut behind them, audibly locking with multiple locks.*

[DashStPierre]

TGL thought to himself...


TGL: Man Im gonna need to see a doctor when I get back to Little Tokyo...this girl is cracking every part of my body..."


Meanwhile, Dash had gotten away from the guard and while hiding out in a bathroom just down teh hall from the office he has snooped called Francine

Dash: Hey Fran, I couldnt get much info when I eavesdropped but it sounds like there is a secret passage in the office I found that might lead to more information. Any chance you could get a hold of Sundance and the NYPC?

[KyoZaber]

*** In Little Tokyo... ***

Francine : *Clicking a few buttons on the computer, trying to raise the NYPC.* ... Sorry Dash. They're not answering. They're probably in a dead zone somewhere out there.

From out in the restaurant, loud shouts can be heard over the microphone...

“One-two-three-four! Who says we don't want more... PIZ-ZA! PIZ-ZA!”

Francine : *Sighs.* Listen Dash, it's the lunch rush now in Little Tokyo. I can't help you much right now. If you're stuck, just do what you do when you're studying for a test while on the job! Gotta go! *Clicks off the communicator, then dashes out to the cash register.*

*** Back In the Office... ***

(Now-Not-Blinded Guard) : *Hauling a large container.* But boss! I swear there was someone out there!

(Boss) : And I swear that I won the lottery once... Now keep hauling! This surprise isn't going to assemble itself!

The guard begins walking out in the halway towards the elevator...

(Boss) : And be careful with that! Without it, the surprise is ruined!

The elevator dings open, then dings shut as it begins moving upwards...

The elevator dings open, then dings shut as it begins moving upwards...

Dash: Alright Fran...(to self) Well, looks like Im on my own for now. Fran said she didnt finish those stealth mods to my suit, but I dont have much of a choice now...

So Dash put his battle visor down and said, "stealth mode activate!" and he slowly disappeared. "Wow! well I guess its better than nothing...like I said, Fran didnt finish the mods so hopefully I can get a little information before this deactivates..."

So Dash slipped out of the bathroom and saw one of the henchmen carrying a box toward the elevator. He walked alongside the box and read the side...

Dash: Oh MAN! this isnt good...(back on Commlink to Fran) Hey Fran, I know youre in the lunch rush and all but I think I know what we may be dealing with here...and its definitely not like the robot of the day that Big Cheese has back in Little Tokyo...
