Inner Core (Book 2) (Completed)

Chapter 24 *Kazo v.s. Reo...or not*

(Kage was watching the tv, but now everyone was wanting to leave .)

Zazz: "Come on, we've been here forever."

Cho: "Yeah, I wanna kill someone."

Kage: "You'll get the chance to, don't worry."

Z: "You keep saying that, but how do we know you're not lying."

Kage: "Why would I lie about something I wanna do too?"

Z: "I don't know what goes on in your head."

Smoke: "I'm ready to kill."

(Smoke was talking dark and bruiting. Another changed personality.)

Card Master: "I must fight and show the world my skills. If I do not show them, how will people know. Tell me that Kage and then I will listen."

Kage: "I don't know what you're saying. I try not to listen too much to you, but the rest of you I understand loud and clear."

(Kage stood up and turned to everyone. He started to walk slowly past them all while talking.)

Kage: "If you think you want to go there more than me. You are wrong. If you think you want to punish more than me. You are wrong. If you think you want to kill more than me. You are wrong. I made this team, so I will lead this team. If you think you can do a better job then..."

(Kage thought stopped after passing them all. He turned to them again and stared into all of their souls at once.)

Kage: "You. Are. Wrong."

(They all stood around in silence for a little bit.)

Kage: "Can I get back to the show now? It's getting good."

Demon: "Yes sir."

Kage: "Thank you."

(Kage walked back to his seat and sat down.)

Kage: "Ha, it's gonna be Hell v.s. Lion next. Oh they started. Oh! Haha, Lion's on fire. Oh, he ran off. Loser! Haha."

(Z quietly whispered to Smoke.)

Z: "Sometimes I wonder how he's our leader."

(He then walked off to his closet thinking only Smoke heard his remark, but Kage heard it. Kage hears all.)

Kai: "Well Lion lost that match, so our winner is Hell."

(A big muscular man covered in fire raised his fist in the air as he walked off the arena.)

Kai: "Next will be, Portaru V.S. Reo."

Kazu: "Oh, already?"

Reo: "Heh heh, finally I can beat you in front of everyone."

Kazu: "Haha, we'll see bud."

(They walked onto the arena. They stood across from each other ready to fight.)

Kai: "Ok, we know their cores, so let's go ahead and..."

Kiriena: "Wait!"

(Everyone stopped and stared at her.)

Kai: *sigh* "What?"

Kiriena: "Uhh, we can't start yet."

Kai: "And why not?"

Kiriena: "Uh, I need to talk with one of your students."

Kai: "Hmm, and you couldn't wait to ask that?"

Kiriena: "Uh, not really."

Kai: "Well well well."

Reo: "Hey, are we doing this or what?"
