Chapter 10- BEACH TRIP
Once at the beach, they all had a party. As usual, Katon and Asaka had Saki, Jack was laying on a towel with Karen and them talking. Johnny was cooking some ribs with his flames. Bobby was suntanning, Gearhead was collecting seashells, and Jodake was playing beachball with Bo while everyone else was swimming. It seemed all was okay and it was. They were celebrating. They'd all come a long way from just wandering around in some bus. They were heroes, guardians, good people, all those in one. It was a nice day, and just them there. Jack rented the beach out from the city. "I don't think that's how it went. I told you how my girlfriends back home were all cute, but not like you." Katon said, drunk. "Is that so?! I got a warhammer and I'm intimidating, so back off handsome!!!" Asaka replied also drunk. "That's not even a standard custom Japanese weapon!!" Katon said. "And you said I'm handsome, you gotta like me!" Katon said. "I don't know, what should we do now Karen? All that we've been asked of, we've done. Is it just life now, or what do you think?" Jack asked. "I don't know. Cities, especially big ones like this, will always have threats on them,, and I think it'd do us good if we help people, and I get to kill some," she replied. "Well, maybe it'll do you good to get the kills, but the killing haunts me," Jack said. "I ask myself sometimes, is it better to live with killing people to save others? Well, what am I saying, yes, it undoubtedly is." Jack said. "Karen?" Jack said. "Yes?" She asked. "Don't leave me, ever." Jack said. "I won't. Ever," she replied. "That's good to know." He said kissing her. "No, I win that point Bo, fair and square!!" Jodake said.
"No, it went past me and I hit it back!" Bo said.
"Yes! But-" pfffffff!!!! Jodake heard. Bo had thrown his knife into it, deflating it. "Well, that's that then." "Hey, you can't take the fire off of the knife before Christmas." Bo said haughty. Then Jodake just walked away. "Here guys, I'll fix it." Jack said getting up. "How?" Bo and Jodake asked. "Metal." Jack replied as he picked up the deflated ball and pulled Bo's knife from it, then using his new metal ability his stitched up the ball with a set of aluminum stitches then reinflated the ball. "Good as new, and Bo, that was Jodake's point." He said tossing it back to them. "50, 52, 55, 57, 59." Gearhead said, counting the seashells he collected.
"Hey Jodake, I wanna have a shooting contest with you, NO red-eye okay?" Tommy yelled coming out of the water. "Okay, what're we shooting at?" Jodake asked.
"Here, I'll make ya'll a skeet thrower," Jack said making one with metal. A little while later Jodake and Tommy had finished up their game and everyone else was out of the water. "YOOHOO JODAKE!" A voice called, Jodake turned around and cried "Amy it's so nice to see you!" Sure enough Amy was strolling up the beach in the cutest bikini. Jodake almost immediately ran over and hugged her and then said "Why you don't join us for barbeque? Johnny made it himself." "Sure I'd love to." She replied. "You guys wanna try making sandcastles?" Jack suggested. "I'll make one with you sweetheart," Karen replied.
"We'll make one together," Jodake and Amy said. "I guess me and Asaka could make one together." Katon said. "Alright fine." She replied with her nose in the air. A little while later everyone had finished and Johnny had promised to turn them into glass sculptures with Jack's help to take home. "ALRIGHT, barbeque is ready!" Sera called serving it up. "My god, this is delicious!" Everyone replied. "Hey Jack, check out the morning's print." Bobby said. The headlines said, Jack, leader of the crazies: Hero, Menace, or both? "I don't know, we'll have to see." he said smirking. "After all we're all crazy, right?" Jack said with a yell. "AND PROUD OF IT!" Everyone cried with a passion. For it was their passion, all of theirs.
