Jackal

Kai walks inside his house. Max is on the couch watching tv.

Max: Where were you?

Kai: Why are you not on your floor?

Max shrugs and keeps watching TV.

Kai: So, where's the Jackal's base?

Max: The bar.

Kai: I figured as much.

Kai picks up an apple. He tosses it up and catches it.

Max: Then why have Remi scope it out?

Kai: I wasn't sure.

Kai takes a bit out of the apple.

Kai: Evidence is always useful.

Max: You seem different.

Kai: How so?

Max: Calmer. Almost as you know what you're doing. Like you have everything under control.

Kai chuckles.

Kai: Oh yeah?

Max: Yeah. It's really weird. You're creeping me out.

Kai: Tell Remi we're attacking Jackal tonight. I'm ready.

Max: Why don't you do it?

Kai: I've got something to go check on.

Max: What are you checking on?

Kai: Nothing. Mind your business.

Max: Everything is my business.

Kai leaves the house. He drives to bibble and sips. Kai sits down. A woman sits down. She has brown skin and long brown hair.

Kai: Noxa.

Noxa: Kai.

Kai: Is what I asked for ready?

Noxa: Yes, it's already set up.

Kai: And you will be there tonight.

Noxa: Just as President Bordon said.

Noxa takes meta-cuffs out of her jacket. She passes them to Kai along the table. Kai grabs them and puts them in his pocket. Kai gets up. Noxa grabs his arm.

Noxa: Don't betray me.

Kai: I feel like I'm more inclined to say that.

Kai moves his arm. Noxa lets go of Kai's arm. Kai then leaves Bibble and Sip. When Kai gets back home Remi and Max are in the kitchen talking.

Kai: Yo.

Remi: Max, you're an idiot.

Max: All I'm saying is pineapple on pizza isn't bad.

Remi: Kai, what do you think. Pineapple on pizza is trash.

Kai sighs.

Kai: Do I care?

Max: Yes. You care enough to agree with me.

Kai grabs another apple and takes a bite.

Kai: What are you guys even talking about?

Remi: Pineapple on pizza.

Kai: Gross.

Kai walks away.

Remi: See!

Max: You're both wrong.

Kai goes into one of the rooms that are never used. The room has gym equipment in it. Kai puts a bar up on the top hinge, and starts doing pull ups. Remi and Max both stand in the doorway.

Max: How did I not know there was a gym room?!

Kai: You never leave the basement.

Max: Your right. I should go back to the basement.

Max leaves. Remi walks in the room and leans against a wall while Kai is working out.

Kai: Did you find out any useful information when you scoped out Jackals base?

Remi: I saw a lot of wolves coming from the back. There might be a secret entrance.

Kai: Is it just a back door?

Remi: No! I'm not that stupid.

Kai: I know. I scouted the building before too.

Remi: So what do you think's the entrance?

Kai: We'll wait until the wolves leave. We'll find out that way. A lot of the wolves will aslo have left. It gives us a good opportunity to strike.

Kai hops off the bar, and then he turns to Remi.

Kai: Stop looking at me creep.

Kai starts walking out the room.

Remi: I'm straight and you're working out!

Remi follows him. Hours later Kai is on a building overlooking the back of the bar with his suit on. Remi walks up from behind him. She is wearing a superhero suit. She has her long brown hair tied back. She has on a black shirt with a yellow logo on it. Then a long black jacket going down to her knees. The jacket has yellow marks on it. Then she has black pants with black and yellow shoes. She stops beside Kai. Kai is still looking at the back of the building.

Kai: Nice suit.

Remi: You didn't even look.

Kai looks her up and down then back to the building.

Kai: Why yellow?

Remi: I don't know. I just didn't want to copy you and use red.

Kai: Start thinking of a name.

Remi: Like a superhero name?

Kai: Yup. The people like names.

Remi: Maybe Bumblebee.?

Kai: Sucks.

Remi: I'll work on it.

Remi sits down.

Remi: Are you just going to stand there?

Kai almost looks as if he is disoriented for a second.

Kai: Huh?

Remi: Where did you go?

Kai: No where. What was your question?

Remi: I asked if you were just going to stand there.

Kai sits down.

Kai: Nah, even my feet get tired.

Remi: When?

Kai: After like a week of running.

Remi: Exactly. Y'know, you've been really distant.

Kai chuckles.

Kai: Max said the same thing. Don't worry about it.

Remi: It makes it hard to have a conversation with you-

Kai: Down.

Remi: What?

Kai gets low to the ground, and puts a hand on Remi's back and pushes her down. Grass comes up from the ground. It looks as if there is a latch disguised as grass. They all come up from the ground. The wolves stampede out of the latch. They start sniffing around.

Remi: Ow. A little more of a warning next time.

Kai: Sorry.

A wolf starts looking around.

Wolf2: What is it.

Wolf: Uh, nothing. Just two mutants. A girl and boy.

The two wolves run out with the rest. Soon wolves stop leaving the latch. Everything starts to calm down.

Kai: C'mon.

Kai and Remi hop off the building. They climb down a ladder. Kai goes first. Once Kai sees the bottom he slides down the ladder. Kai wipes his hands together wiping off dirt. Remi soon gets off the ladder too, and walks up to Kai.

Kai: Nice butt.

Remi punches Kai in the arm and Kai laughs.

Kai: You were staring at me earlier. I thought I would return the favor.

Remi: I didn't think it would bite me in the ass later.

Remi starts walking away.

Kai: Nice pun.

Kai walks with her. They walk through an old lab. Remi starts to have a weird expression on her face.

Kai: Is this the lab they gave you the "cure" in?

Remi: Y-yeah.

Kai: I figured as much. Don't worry, we're together. You won't get locked up again.

Remi: I know. I'm just a little shaken up.

Kai: Then lets move onto the next room.

Remi starts opening the door.

Kai: Shit.

The door opens and three wolves are in front of Remi.

Wolf: A pretty girl!

Wolf2: No, a beautiful woman. Respect her!

Wolf: What do you mean respect her?! We're going to attack her!

The third wolf slices at Remi. Remi jumps back. A wolf pounces at Remi. Kai grabs the wolf's arm, and throws it into the wall. One wolf jumps at Kai and the other jumps at Remi. Kai punches the wolf in the jaw, then the stomach, and finally uppercuts it into the roof. The wolf hits the roof and falls to the floor. Remi kicks out her wolf's leg. The wolf drops to one knee. Remi punches the wolf in the head. As the wolf is falling back Remi kicks it in the stomach.

Kai: See, easy. Nothing to be worried about.

Remi: I could have done without the jump scare though.

Kai: But would it have been as fun?

Remi: I guess not.

They walk through the door. They go up the stairs they take out wolf after wolf that they see easily. Then they make it to a big room. It looks like the room that all the wolves gather in. There is a throne, and Jackal is sitting on it. Two wolves with spears stand beside her.

Jackal: Get them.

The two wolves charge Kai and Remi. The wolf tries to jab at Kai. Kai steps his foot on the spear. The spear goes to the ground, and Kai kicks the wolf in the head. The wolf drops to the ground unconscious. The other wolf jabs at Remi. Remi hits the spear away. She kicks the wolf in the stomach, and then starts punching the wolf over and over again. Then Remi uppercuts the wolf, and it falls to the ground.

Jackal: Why have you come to my territory?

Kai: We kind of want Manhattan back.

Jackal takes out two batons.

Jackal: You should have stayed in prison. Now your going to die.

Jackal runs at Kai and Remi. Jackal slides on the ground. Her baton hits Remi in the stomach. She gets up quickly, and roundhouse kicks. Kai deflects the kick, and punches her in the jaw. Jackal stumbles back. Then Remi throws sparks at her. The sparks blast Jackal back. Jackal hits a wall, and pulls herself up.

Kai: You know you're going to lose. Why are you even still trying?

Jackal: What else am I supposed to do? I wasn't born a wolf! I was born a regular human. I was captured and experimented on. Now I have no choice but to fight against humanity. That's why I'll beat you no matter what it takes!

The roof starts to crumble. A few pieces of rock come off the roof. They float above the ground and Jackals eyes have become a pink color.

Kai: Stop! You'll take the whole building down if you keep doing that!

Jackal: It's worth it!

Jackal throws the rocks at Kai and Remi. Remi throws sparks and explodes the rocks coming their way. The explosion only makes the roof more unstable.

Kai: She's insane! Stay back here so she's distracted by you. I'll run up to her and take her down.

Remni nods her head. Kai starts running to Jackal with the cover of the rocks. Jackal keeps throwing rocks at Remi. Remi dodges the rocks. Then Kai appears out of nowhere. He punches Jackal in the temple. Jackal flies back. She hits the ground, and drags until she comes to a stop. Then she pulls herself back up again.

Kai: Just stay down!

Jackal: W.A.T.K.H. is my family! I will stop you from getting to them.

Remi and Kai run at her. Jackal hits Kai in the stomach. Kai stumbles back, and kicks Jackal. Jackal is pushed back by the kick. Remi then kicks Jackal forward, and Kai close lines her. Jackal hits the ground hard. Kai stomps a foot on her. Jackal cuts down Kai's leg with her claws, and bites his foot through his shoe. Kai jumps back. His leg and shoe are covered in blood.

Kai: Remi, watch out! Her claws and teeth are razor blades!

Jackal gets back up. She starts slashing her claws at Remi. She slices one claw across Remi's stomach. Kai then blasts Jackal with energy. Jackal hits a wall, and Kai teleports to her. Kai slams her head in with his staff. Jackal hits the ground, and Kai cuffs her.

Kai: Remi, are you okay?

Remi: I'm fine. It was one claw. What about you? Your whole leg is covered in blood!

Kai: Oh, that, I'm fine.

Soldiers come through a door. They have military gear on and badges that say B.L.A.D.E. Nova walks up to Kai.

Nova: You didn't betray me. Good.

Kai: I asked you to do it. Why would I betray you?

Remi: Who's this?

Kai: I'll explain later. It's time to go.

Remi: Uh, okay.

The soldiers pick up Jackal and carry her body away as Kai and Remi travel back home.
