~Little Tokyo High~ : The Flaming Emerald Dance

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero:  er....ah....left what Eyah?

[Blackcat]

FG the fox girl and Jack the black cat where now close to Little Tokyo High with the container...

Jack: Why we had to make so much?

FG: I want good grades, okey?

[DashStPierre]

Dash skated up to LTHS very thankful not to have had any more crazy misadventures or run ins


Dash: Man, that was probably the craziest trip to school Ive had in a while...but at least I made it.

With that he skated to his locker, took his backpack off and set it inside (so he could keep an eye on it in case Mr Fromage or somebody tried to steal it) and took off his skates and protective gear and switched to his sneakers then he grabbed his backpack and walked to homeroom and took his usual seat

Dash (thinking): Nobody is getting fired...not on my watch...

[KyoZaber]

The day slowly began with all the students finally arriving at school.
That morning Kyo was still absent, while Camma was also not there.

Sheena : *Sitting, arms folded, and cheeks puffed out in frustration.* Hrmph! >.<

Eyah : *Slumps down into her desk next to Sheena... Exhausted from searching & explaining to Romero about the missing dish.* ... What's your story Sheena?

Sheena : Sheena doesn't want to talk about it!


*** Meanwhile... Outside the school... Out by the pool... ***

Mr. Fromage : *Pacing back and forth...* Ugg...

From the bushes, a figure emerges. A pair of shades cover his eyes, and a sly grin sits on his lips...

Mr. Fromage : *Twists around quickly, a look of shock on his face.* WHAT!? How... Why!?

The Tio : Relax tuns of fun... *Pulls out a pair of crochet sticks, and begins twiddling them in his fingers.* Just here as backup. Yer boys said they've gotten most of the stuff. Now we just got to get yer class done.

Mr. Fromage : Oh... *Wipes his brou.* Good... Wait... most?!

The Tio : *Nods* Yep... Just gotta take care of that Dash kid, and keep our eyes open for two other students.

Mr. Fromage : *Puts his hands on his hips.* And just how the heck do we take care of Dash?

The Tio : Oh... You don't wanna know... *He sleeks up to Mr. Fromage, wrapping his arm around Fromage's back.* Ya see... It's a fate so horrible... that it makes mere mortals quake in their shoes...

Mr. Fromage : Water Balloons?

The Tio : ... No... No I mean REAL evil!

Mr. Fromage : ... Frozen Water Balloons?

The Tio : *Looks down at Mr. Fromage...* ... *He releases Mr. Fromage, then pushes him into the pool as he walks off.*

[DashStPierre]

DAsh looks around and sees some dejected faces as classmates enter and take their seats

Dash: I knew it...that guy is up to something (thinking) I just hope Grams is ok...

Meanwhle back at Dash's house...

Grams: Well that was an interesting night for sure...

then she is stopped cold...
Grams: Something is troubling him...I dont know HOW I know but something is troubling Dash...

With that she immediately tore into the kitchen. pots and pans flew everywhere as Grams worked feverishly.

Grams: I just hope I have enough left over...

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero kept pounding his head on the desk worried about when class starts.

Romero: aww man....that Turkey is really going to bake us now! I can't stand to fail this class cause then my bro's going to have me move old boxes down at the Pizza Cat! oh man oh man!!!

Romero hit his head with a loud bang and looked down at the ground.

Romero: *thinking* hmm...maybe if Meowzma can do it....I can do it too...*ducks under his desk and tries to tunnel his way out of the class*

[Blackcat]

Jack and FG sat next to each other, a big container was chose to them...
 
Jack: Shouldn't we have left this like in... the kitchen?
 
FG: No way! That way they would steal it!
 
*FG the fox girl looks at Dash and smiles - Hi Dash, if you weren't able to do the dish you can take some of ours, we did the extra family pack jumbo size!"
 
Jack  has an angry face and says nothing, "why was that idiot so popular with girls?" He thinks

[DashStPierre]

Dash whispered to FG

Dash: Dont worry...Ive been guarding mine all the way here...something tells me that ol turkey butt has something planned for us because I could hear somebody talking about stealing everyone's project except mine and yours...

[DashStPierre]

paging Kyo...paging kyo Zaber...or anyone else with a character in this story...

[KyoZaber]

The day continues on.. Finally arriving at the class everyone's been dreading. Cooking.
As everyone made their way into the room, a few things became clear...

1) All the tables were arranged in a circle, with a single desk & chair in the middle.
2) The desk had a nametag with "Dash" written on it.
3) Above the desk & chair a bucket appeared to be hanging from something attached to the ceiling.

... Oh... And Mr.Fromage had a damp look as if he had a sweating problem.

Eyah : *Walks in, looking over the arrangement.* ... Huh... *She looks over at Mr.Fromage.* You know sir... I expected better from you.

Mr. Fromage : *Grumbles.* Take your seat Ms. Osaka.

As all the students continue walking in, Tio can be seen over in the far corner. Keeping count of all the students, yet at the same time not paying much attention.

[DashStPierre]

Everyone files into class and takes their seat. Dash walked in, and looked over the arrangement, noting his desk in the middle, and then he shook his head

Dash (thinking): you know...for an evil genius bent on getting Principal Tio fired, you could have come up with something more original...

Dash squeezed past two of the desks and took his seat.

Meanwhile, back at the house, Amy, who was sick in bed that day, came downstairs because Grams hadnt brought her some orange juice

Amy: Grams, *cough cough* I was wondering when you would...HOLY MOLEY! What are you doing?!?
Grams: Something bad is going to happen to Dash at school...I can feel it...so Im trying to make him an extra set of that dish we spent yesterday working on
Amy: Grams...sometimes I wonder about you...
Grams: Oh and here is that juice you wanted...and some soup...oh and the remote to the TV...
Amy: Gee thanks!

[Blackcat]

-Yeah that was pretty lame, even my article titled "Superheroes, why they have to ruin our lives?" for the school newspaper was better than this- says Jack-. And only Eyah seemed to have read it...
 
FG: (whispering) Don't worry black kitty, I will help ya with that newspaper...-
 
Jack: (whispering) Yeah sure, you are just going to use the job as an excuse to interview Dash... but I need help, so you are hired...
 
FG: (whispering) Thanks Kuroneko-chan!

"Man... I miss the times when I was atacked by ninjas in my other school... at least the place didnt end being blow up to pieces regulary like this one. What? Fighting ninjas? That must have been a dream, I am not one of those stupid wannabe-heroes" thinks Jack. Then his eyes go blank for two seconds and he forgets the whole thing.

"Oh, I knew they had brainwashed this guy, but now he is more of a yerk than before, he goes after Dash like JJ goes after spiderman, or at least he tries" thinks FG

[KyoZaber]

Mr. Fromage : *Takes a deep breath, sighing.* Ok kids… Let's have it~

Tio : *Holds his hand up.* Just a moment Mr. Fromage. I'd like to first address your class. *His eyes gaze over all of the students, then focus upon Dash.*

Slowly, Tio walks out into the center, resting his hand on Dash's shoulder.

Tio : Everyone… You should be proud of your achievements you've done today. Each of you have spent the past couple of days cooking a dish so hard to make, that many wallow before it's awesome might.

He squeezes Dash's shoulder slightly, then lets go, continuing forward.

Tio : However, special recognition needs to go towards one student in here today…  As I hear, without this young man's help, most of you wouldn't have completed such a hard dish. *He turns around, gesturing to Dash.* Let's all give the young saint a hand shall we?

Tio enthusiastically begins clapping, gesturing towards all the other students to do the same.

Sheena : *Pouting, slowly clapping.* -=Sheena blames poor management on this decision…=-

Eyah : *Clapping… uneasily.* -= Something feels familiar….=-

Tio : *Quickly stops clapping, snapping back around facing Dash.* That being said young man… I have a little something for all of your hard work… *He reaches into his jacket… and pulls out a remote with a single red button on it.* … AN F for TRAP!

As Dash was about to leap into action, the button was pressed.
Restraints popped out of the chairs everyone was sitting in, holding them all down, including Dash.
Finally, the bucket suspended over head released, falling down & over Dash's head, blinding him as he began tossing his head around trying to get it off.

Tio : *Puts the remote back into his suit coat, then pulls out what looks like an odd caulking gun.* It's no use young man… I've lined the inside of that bucket with something that you cannot un-glue… *He reaches down, and takes Dash's backpack.* PURE EVIL!!!

Eyah : *Smiling brightly.* So that's what felt familiar!

[DashStPierre]

Dash thrashed around knowing the predicament he was in. He was in way over his head this time.

Dash: GRAHHH!!!!!! Principal Tio, how could you?!?

Then a voice unfamiliar to anyone in the room was heard...

???: Yes...how could you...no one messes with my grandson...
???: Or my best friend...
???: No...OUR...best friend...

Dash still wasnt sure what was going on, but his grandmother appeared at the door of the classroom...and with her were Dash's American friends...Gary, Karlos, Ashley and Brock...in full battle armor...Dash's grandmother even was dressed for battle...something Dash had never seen before...

[Romero Anchovy]

Romero: Principle Tio is a Spy?? I'll help Dash!

Romero jumped ontop of his desk and lunged towards Principle Tio

Romero: *yelling* For great Justtice!!!

[Blackcat]

FG: Pure evil? Oh no...
 
*Jack eyes went blank, then turned all red, and he was trying as hard as he could to get free, it seems the evil in that bucket was causing a strange reaction in Jack...
 
-He is evil, must destroy evil, I told you he was evil, must destroy evil...- said Jack, normally FG would have knocked him out, but she was also trapped...
 
FG: Do you have any idea of what you have done Mr Tio? The school insurance doesn't cover this tipe of disaster if the principal itself causes it, he is goona get free, he will fight Dash, and no matter who wins, THE SCHOOL WILL BE DESTROYED AND YOU WILL BE FIRED!!! 

[DashStPierre]

Dash continued to thrash about as the evil poured down his face. Then all of a sudden...something strange happened.

Romero suddenly began to glow...so did Camma...and Sheena...and Amy...and Kia...and Gary and Karlos and Brock and Ashley...and even Jack, despite the reaction he was having...

Principal Tio: What's going on?
Grams: What's going on is something that you never factored into your little plan Principal...the light of good that we all carry...not just Dash...

Suddenly the light that glowed around everyone in the room, shot straight at Dash like a host of ultra powerful lasers...it was a power that had never been seen anywhere, much less Little Tokyo High School. There was an ultra-bright flash...and when the light has gone away...all of the chairs that had held the students came undone as if by some strange force, and the evil that had nearly possessed Dash had been burned away by the combined power of the entire rest of the class, leaving Principal Tio unconscious on the floor.

[KyoZaber]

The dust settled in the room. Most of the students felt touched, others felt confused, while others just wanted to know what their final grade was going to be.

Sheena : Huh... Sheena is confused... *She looks over at Camma.* When did Camma get here!?!

Camma : *Her school cloths look messy, torn, and dirty. Various grease stains cover the skirt, and parts of her shirt.* I walked in while the light show was happening... *Her eyes continued looking around the room...*

Kyo : *Hiding behind a few of the tables in the back room.* -= Why did everything have to get so bright & loud when I entered the room!? I needed them to save me from that crazy girl! Now she's in here and looking for me!=-


Eyah was the first student to walk up to Tio, and nudge him with her foot.


Eyah : Huh... *Smerks, reaching down into his suit, pulling out the odd caulking gun, and his wallet.* I'll take those... *She flips open the wallet, reading it over, absentmindedly twirling the gun.* Oh~ This is the jack pot. ^_^

Mr. Fromage : *Speechless, clears his throat.* Eerrr… Well… Yes! Be it as it may… *Looks at the student body.* Despite evil plots and plans you students still need to submit at least one Flaming Emerald dance. So… Whom here would like to go first?

[DashStPierre]

After a long pause, Grams stepped forward with a lighter and Dash's container as well as one she had brought.

Grams: My grandson would go first but I had his sisters take him to the hospital and get his eyes checked out and make sure he wasnt too badly hurt.

Grams pulled out a plate and carefully laid the "emeralds" on it and glazed them with the sauce from the recipe. She then pulled out the lighter and had everyone back away and carefully lit the lighter and all of them lit immediately. as they were burning they emitted a faint green glow...

Mr Fromage looked at it with some degree of shock, some of confusion (mostly because he figured that no one would be able to make this particular dish so he could take over the school because then he'd fail everyone)...after the flames died down,  Grams smiled and said "wanna try it Mr Fromage?" He carefully took one, bracing himself for one of the worst things he had ever had, but after popping one in his mouth and chewing for a minute, a smile slowly crept on his face...not a devious smile mind you like you would have expected...but the kind of smile you get when you try something for the first time and you know its good... "Well Mrs St Pierre, I must say, I am impressed. When I first gave out this assignment I wanted to make it so absolutely impossible that I would have no choice but to fail the students in this class...but after what Ive seen today, you can rest assured that I will have quite a glowing (the class groaned at his horrific attempt at humor) recommendation to the board." The class cheered.

[Blackcat]

*Jack has fainted after what had happened, while FG had checked his pulse and made sure he was still breathing...
 
"That was so weird, like a Deux Ex Machidna" she thought, she had no idea of what the hell had just happened, but was glad that the school wasn't destroyed.
 
Then she heard Mr Fromage do the bad joke, and was happy to now her grades would go up. FG was going to go to the hospital to check on Dash after school was over, after all she had already lost too many classes.
 
*Then  the door opened and a strange looking Nurse entered the class, she was a tall and cute red fox  who was wearing glasses
 
-Okey, sorry to bug you all, but we just had a very strange thing happen here, so I am going to ask to all the people that where inside this room when that happened to go to my office after classes, I know all of you had plans and all, but last time something like this happened, I think it was back in 1987 or something, the persons involved had some strange side-effects. Besides the school budget cant take on mode demands, okey?-
 
*Everyone sighs, this was going to be a very long day...
