Inner Core (Book 2) (Completed)

Chapter 8 *Battle of the Genders*

(Kage was sitting in front of his tv. He was watching the news. It was talking about all the crime that was going on. That's why he needed the throwaways. He had hired these guys to go out and do whatever, as long as it was considered a crime. They did, and now even more people are doing it. People he didn't even hire. It's all going perfect. Z walked over and sat next to him.)

Z: "I've hired some more people to go out and do stuff for you."

Kage: "And?"

Z: "I got a few. Card master, Diego, Lust Lady, and..."

Kage: "Names don't matter to me. Only one does. Cloak."

Z: "We did not get him."

Kage: "Why's that?"

Z: "Can't find him. He seems to be invisible. Plus, I don't know if he just wants mayhem. He probably wants something more."

Kage: "Like?"

Z; "I don't know. I haven't met him."

Kage: "Well then."

(Kage stood up.)

Kage: "We have work to do."

(Kage started to walk away. Z stood up, but stayed where he stood.)

Z: "And that is."

(Kage kept walking and didn't turn around.)

Kage: "Work. Do something. I got my stuff to do."

(Then Kage went into his office and closed the door.)

(Yui runs right at Diego fist up. She doesn't know his core, but she'll find out in battle. Diego didn't even flinch at her running. He just stood there with a big grin on his face. Yui jump forward then punched, but Diego moved out of the way just in time.)

Diego: "Nice try little girl, but speed is a man's game."

(Diego then grabbed her arm and threw her in the air. She went flying through the sky. While she was in mid air though, it looked like the orange glow around him seemed to have grown. It has to be something to do with his core. Yui caught herself when she hit the ground. She stood at her feet and got into a position to fight. She let her anger take over, she needs to be smarter then him to be able to beat him.)

Yui: " Ruri. I need your help with this fight."

Ruri: "Alright. What do you need?"

Diego: "Stop the talking and fight me damn it!"

(Diego charged at Yui, but she jumped out of the way. She needs to be able to dodge his attacks or she'll go flying again like she did before.)

Yui: "Ruri, gimme some flight."

(Yui ran at Diego and jumped. Ruri made some wind carry Yui through the sky over Diego. Diego looked up and stared at Yui.)

Diego: "Am I supposed to be scared?"

Yui: "Ruri, slam me!"

Ruri: "What?"

Yui: "Just do it!"

(Ruri made a bunch of wind slam Yui down onto Diego. Yui stood on top of Diego with her fist resting on his chest.)

Yui: "Haha, it worked."

Ruri: "Nice."

Yui: "Now who's weak, Dieg-"

(Diego threw her off of him and jumped up fast.)
