Toxins

Mission 23- Fire

    "Yeah, we don't even know who it is". Our conversation was interrupted by a call from Professor Light. I answered, "Hello Blitz". "What do you need sir"? "There's an oxygen toxin I want you to recruit. She only lives a few hours away in St.Louis". "Okay, fine. I'll tell you when we get there", I said, hanging up. I turned to everyone else. "Sorry to cut this short, but we have to recruit a toxin down in St.Louis". "Oh, that's fine. I'll still be here when you get back. See you guys soon", Marceline said, leaving. As I started to pack my bags I said, "I'm really happy to see Marceline is doing better". "I know, I'm happy she's moving on", Clover added. 

    After packing our bags we got on a flight. When we got there we booked a hotel and called the Professor. He told us where she worked so that we could find her the next day. "You know, now that I think about it. What can an Oxygen toxin even do", I asked, getting in the car. "Don't know, but if we're recruiting them, they're obviously strong enough". I looked in the back. "Okay Freyaj, no fighting unless we have to". "Geez, why are you telling me. It's not like I'm a violent person", she smiled.I laughed as we pulled off from the hotel. The destination we got to was a funeral parlor. "This is where she works... nice". "I hate being around dead people", Clover shivered. "Great, we'll make you stand in the front".

    When we got inside she was standing at the door. I couldn't exactly smell her, but the air smelled full. There was an excess amount of Oxygen close by. "Hi, how can I help you", she smiled. Her hair was mid length and so blonde it was almost white. She had on a pastel yellow dress with a white cardigan. I looked down at white white pumps and socks. "Hi, nice to meet you. My grandma should be here, they said we could come and look at her". She reached out to shake my hand. I shook it and felt a jerk through my body. My nose started bleeding. I looked up at her and saw her smiling.

    "Look, we aren't here to fight you", Freyaj said. "Oh, really? So why is the most notorious toxin group lying to me right now", she asked. "We're here to recruit you, dumb-ass", I said, wiping my nose. "You're here... to recruit me", she smiled. "Yeah, the Professor wants you to join him", Clover said. "So I'm gonna be a part of the best toxin group ever". "Hell no", Freyaj shouted. "You're just gonna be in the same company as us". "Oh... that's fine too", she laughed. "Well, what're we waiting for, let's go"! As we began to walk out she stopped us. "Wait"! We turned around. "My best friend... she got into a bad fight some months ago and can't be on her own".

    "She said some bad people are looking for her. I can't leave her". "Fine, she can come too", I sighed. I said a head peak from behind a wall. A girl with pale skin and short black hair stepped out. Her black tube top went well with her red jacket, grey shorts, and brown boots. She looked like she was a cool person. But when I got a whiff of her smell. "Carbon... that's carbon". As she looked at the three of us I could tell she remembered our faces. "Is something wrong", Oxygen asked. "You...you're the reason he's dead"! "I'm not the one who pulled that trigger", she shouted back. "If it wasn't for you he would've never been at the fight", I said, pulling out my gun. 

    I shot three bullets and she dodged them all. She slid her hand across Oxygen's and it made a spark. "Wait", Oxygen shouted. A fire started and was cutting us off from getting to them. "Oxygen and Carbon make fire", Clover sighed. "Dammit... wait". Everyone but me and Freyaj started to cough. "Chlorine becomes more toxic when heated", I laughed. WE grabbed everyone and got them outside of the building. "Thank you", Carbon coughed while on the ground. "Don't thank me. I only saved you so I could kill you myself".
