[Xura]

Amy: we're here! Don't worry. This is the fun part.
I put my laptop away, and Amy handed me a parachute.
Amy: You ready?
She smiled.
Me: I've never skydived before. I'm actually kinda scared.
Amy: No worries. It's tons of... fun. Just hold my hand, we'll go down together.
I smiled and nodded.
Me: Let's do it.
We held hands and jumped off. We sped down the sky.
Me: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Amy: ISNT THIS GREAT?!
Me: EVEN BETTER! ITS AWESOME!!!!
We pull our parachutes.
Me: ARE WE IN EGYPT?!
Amy: YOU BET! ITS ONE OF OUR TEMPORARY LOCATIONS!
We landed and took our parachutes off. Amy threw some clothes at me.
Amy: Here. Put these on, you'll need to blend in.

Amy: I don't think we look too bad.
Me: Lol. I think we look ridiculous... But if you say so.
We smiled, and I followed her into a pyramid. We went through a few entrance-ways and we came across two guards:

Amy mummered a code word to them and they let us through. We entered a large room. It was a lot like the base at the Yappicino.
After we changed back to our normal outfits, Amy sat down with me.
Amy: Are you ready for this? The boss himself is going to speak to you. He can come across... A little different than you'd expect.
Me: Okay.
Amy: I can hold onto your laptop case and that book of yours if you want.
Me: Sorry, this stuff goes with me everywhere.
I entered the room heasitantly. There was a desk and a leather chair. I could see that a dog was sitting in the chair.
???: Come in, Sit. Make yourself comfortable.
He had a thick Russian accent.
(If you've every seen the show Chuck, just imagine that it's Volkoff's voice)
I slowly walked toward a chair and sat down.
???: I'm _____
WHAT?! His name doesn't show up in my diary?! _____ ______ _____ _____ _____ ITS NOT WORKING!!!!! Oh... Wait a second. I was using invisible ink, wasn't i? Let's try that again:
???: I'm Alexander.
His chair spun around.

Alex: And I'm your new boss.
Me: Cool! .... *ahem* I mean... Great. When do we start?
Alex: Seriously? You actually want to join the organization?
Me: Yeah... Didn't Amy tell you?
Alex: ;-; Why now and not in Russia?
Me: I'm out of school next month and I want to be a spy
Alex: -_- Darn it. I was looking forward to using the break-down with torture tactic.
Me: O.o
Alex: *ahem* sorry. It's a new thing we're trying.
Me: Rightttttttt.....
Alex: So you actually agree to join?
Me: Yup.
Alex: And agree to put your life in danger everyday you're in service?
Me: Yup.
Alex: And you agree to change your name?
Me: Uh... To what exactly? I don't think this was in the job description.
Alex: Do we actually have a job description? 0.o
Me: It was a figure of speech.
Alex: *ahem* I knew that. And you won't really be changing your name. Just when your on missions and stuff.
Me: oh okay.
Alex: Welcome to Thunder.
He got up and actually went around to give me a bear hug.
Alex: I'll deal with your assignments directly. Speaking of which, there's a test assignment for you. We have a client and he'd like to speak to you in person.
Me: Okay.
I went out of the room.
Amy: How did it go? Are you in?
Me: Yup.
Amy: Great! Now let's-
Me: I have a client. I have to do a test mission
Amy: .________. I'll bring back lunch after you meet your client.
Me: Okay. Have fun with that.
Amy: Right back at you.
Me: -____-
I walked into the room, my client was sitting at the table.

Me: You look a little young.
Client: So, what if I am? You look young too.
Me: Touché. What's your name?
Client: Zark.
Me: What an exotic name.
Zark: I was told your name is Xura
Me: touché -_- What's the misson?
Zark: See, I'm a lapison... And there's a war going on between the paratoins and lapisons... I need to you to capture their leader.
Me: Hmph. Got any information on the leader?
Zark: She's a girl. And for a time, she went to my highschool and took an important USB. She probably changed her look by now.
I took a sip of the hot coaco I got magically.
Me: Do you know any part of her name?
Zark: ... No. But she travels with 3 bodyguards.
Me: Interesting.
I took another sip of the coaco.
Me: What's the reward?
Zark: A box full of Sapphire's?
Me: Done.
I pushed a contract towards him.
Me: The only condition on it is that we aren't responsible for anything that happens after the mission and payment.
Zark: Deal.
He signed without a second thought.
Me: Great!
Zark left and I got right onto my laptop. I was searching all the private flights. No doubt they took a private plane since this leader is an important person.
I found one headed to Egypt that had 4 people on it. It could be them... Of course, I'd have to break into the air-tower. Looks like I'm skipping lunch with Amy... Unless we're taking it to go.

---

After an on the go lunch, I arrived at the airport for private flights. Luckily, there were only 5 people working there. I hid my track gun in my jacket pocket and went inside. A flight lady came up to me.
Lady: Can I help you?
Me: Yeah. I'm expecting a flight... Can I speak to your manager?
Lady: Sure.
She typed the code to the door and I shot her with a tranq gun.
I grabbed her outfit and walked down the hall. After successfully knocking everyone out, I went to the Plane communicator.
Me: Hello? Is this plane 22204?
Someone picked up.
???: It depends... What's the codeword?
Me: .... Uh.....
???: That's right! Okay, what's up broski?
Me: I was just going to tell you the landing is clear and your safe to land whenever you need to. We also have a change of clothes for you so you can fit in as tourists.
???: Cool beans.
I saw their plane come to a landing. I rushed out of the building. I went over to them and handed them the clothes.
Black-rainbow dog: Ughh. Kanji, did you get the USB?
Kanji: Yeah I got it and shtuff.

A dog with brown hair: I have to go to the bathroom.
Black rainbow dog: I should probably go with you.
Brown haired dog: Stop following me, I can go to the bathroom myself.
Me: If it makes you all feel better, I can escort her there. It's right inside.
They reluctantly agreed. I walked the dog in.
Me: What's your name?
Dog: Ca- Kerr- Krystal. Yeah, I'm Krystal.
Me: Nice to meet you. I'm Xura.
Krystal: Xura... I have a friend named Xura.
Me: You do?
Krystal: Yeah. Haven't seen her in a while though.
As soon as we were out of sight of the window, I pointed the track gun at her back.
Me: My apologies, Krystal. But your my first job. I have a lapison client awaiting your arrival. So you'll have to come with me.
I shot her with the tranquil dart and carried her to my getaway car. I drove away to the base and she started snoring out of control. Lol it was hilarious.
I called Zark.
Zark: What is it? Do you have questions or something? I'm on a pyramid tour.
Me: Nope. I already got the package.
Zark: Seriously?
Me: Yeahhh. She snores really loudly though.
Zark: Can you hold her for 2 hours? I have to finish this tour.
Me: Alrighttt. Just meet me here at 6:00
I hung up and took out a marker. I drew a mustache on Krystal's face. I didn't like it so I took out a squirt gun and sprayed it off her face.
She woke up when the mustache was gone.
Krystal: Ughhhh where am I?
She tried to get up but I had handcuffed her to the chair.
Me: Ya know, you really have to work on your snoring.
Krystal: Who are you?
Me: Your worst nightmare.
There was an intense moment of fear in her eyes as I said that.
Me: eh... I'm just kidding. The name is Xura.
Krystal: Your the flight lady!
Me: No. I'm the spy that's hired to sell you over to a lapison client, aren't i?
Krystal: If I say no, that means your aren't whatever you just said, right?
Me: Nice try. Your humor is slightly amusing.
Krystal: .-. Darn it.
Me: Want to play cards? Poker, Blackjack, crazy 8's or whatever you suggest is good.

---

Krystal: Do you have a ten of diamonds?
Me: Go fish.
Krystal: Who knew I'd be playing go fish to my doom?
Me: Well... It's not totally your doom. I mean All they're gonna do is probably lock you up and torture you.
Krystal: Oh yeah, that sounds SOOOO much better.
Me: Don't push it. Now do you have an Ace in spades?
Krystal: Go fish.
My phone started ringing and I picked it up.
Me: Hello?
Zark: My tour is finished and I've got the box of sapphires. I'm heading over now.
Me: Okay. That's good because I was losing to Go fish anyway.
I hung up.
Krystal: So you are losing!
Me: Hey. Don't push it. What's your name anyway?
Krystal: Krystal.
Me: No. Your real name.
Krystal: I'm not supposed to tell.
Me: I'm never gonna see you again and if anyone interrogates me I want to give them the right info.
Krystal: That's a really strange reason.
Me: I'm a strange person.
Krystal hesitated. And looked closer at me. There was a small lock of hair that wasn't dyed on my head. It was all rainbow-ey.
Krystal: Your...
She picked up an old lumpy potato she had In her pocket and put it next to a potato chip. I only knew one person who carried around potatoes like that.
Me: ... Cassandra? Your the leader of the paratoins?
Cassie: It's a long story...
I heard a knock on the door.
Me: Oh no.
Cassie: It's okay... Just don't sell me off.
Me: Cassie... This is Thunder! And this mission is my ticket to getting into it!
Cassie: Oh. I can see where your coming from now.
There was another knock.
Me: Change with me.
Cassie: What? Xura, no-
Me: Do it.
We changed quickly and I sat in her chair.
Me: Answer the door, Xura!

Cassie: ?? Oh wait. I get it. I'm Xura, aren't I?
Cassie went and answered the door.
Zark: I see you brought the package.
Cassie: Yup.
She pointed to me.
Cassie: That's her.
Zark: Great. Here's your box of Sapphires.
He handed her the box. Cassie's eyes widened.
Cassie: WOAHHHH I didn't now I- I mean she was this valuable.
Facepalm.
Zark: Yeah... She's like the leader of the Paratoins
Cassie: *ahem* right, sorry. First day.
Facepalm.
Zark: Rightttt.
He looked at me and grabbed my chin.
Zark: Not so tough without your bodyguards now, are you?
I bit his fingers.
Zark: Ow! *mumbles* feisty.
He grabbed me harshly and put my hands in handcuffs. I wanted to use telekinesis to loosen them, but it wasn't working.
Zark: Ha. You can't use any powers no matter what you have. These handcuffs will prevent any powers.
I bit my lip. I might actually be in more trouble than I thought. Zark pushed me through the doors and we took a car to his private jet. He loaded me on and sat me down in one of the chairs.
Zark: After all this time... Our leaders will be pleased.
Oh no! I'm in some deep trouble. I'm all out of tricks! What will I do now, diary?

[Xura]

I sat on the plane, Zark went to the front. I saw Cassandra run on the plane.
Cassie: I'm here to save you!
Me: Get out of here. I'll save myself. Your the leader of the paratoins, I'll endure a punishment if it means saving you.
Cassie: I can't leave you like this though!
I heasitated.
Me: Go to Amy. Tell her that I'm in trouble... And tell her this: sciocco stringa
Cassie repeated it a couple times. I saw Zark starting to come back.
Me: Now get out of here!
Cassie left quickly and hopped into her car.
The plane lifted off.
Zark: Finally.
He smiled, he had a toothy grin... Almost like wolf teeth. Oh no duh... He is a wolf!
Me: Ugh.. Brush your teeth and take a breath mint.
Zark: ;-;
Zark threw a pair of clothes at my face.
Zark: Put these on and let your hair down.
Me: No.
Zark: Excuse me?
Me: I said no.
Zark: You stubborn little-
He put his hands in his hair.
Zark: Then you can freeze in Russia.
I rolled my eyes.
Me: Your really bad at threats. At least it's a leather jacket.
I put it on and let my hair down.
Zark: Now be silent for the rest of the ride.
Me: No. LALALALALALALALALALALALALLALALLALALALALALALALALLAALLALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALLLAALLAALALLALALALALALALA!!!!!!
Zark shoved a donut in my mouth. I ate it...
Ugh. What is this?
Zark: Food. Be quiet and eat it.
He gave me a cheese platter.
Me: Wow! This is awesome.
I started stuffing my face with cheese.
Zark: Doesn't a Paratoin leader have to be a strict diet?
I stuffed my face.
Me: *mouth full* What gave you that idea?
Zark: ;-; Nothing...
Me: Do you have a knife? I need to cut the cheese.
Zark: Yuck!
Me: ;-; haha. Can I have my cheese knife now?
Zark went and got the knife. He gave me it and I started eating all the cheese. He walked away, discusted. It was almost night time. I hid the knife In my jacket pocket. Zark came back after I was done eating.
Me: I'm exhausted. Do you have bedrooms on this jail-plane?
Zark: Yeahhh. But you have to sleep in the seat because your a prisoner. I get to sleep in the bedroom.
Me: .-. You dare deny the Paratoin leader?
I watched him walk off to his room with a toothy grin. As soon as he shut the door, I took the knife out of my jacket pocket and undid the handcuffs. I grabbed a parachute when suddenly,
CRASHHHHHH
Zark came out of his room right away.
Zark: You were going to escape!
Me: Well... Yeah. Why would I stay here?
Another missile was launched. Zark grabbed a parachute and held a gun to my neck.
Zark: Your going as my prisoner.
Me: of course.
Zark jumped off still pointed the gun at my head. It took me a minute while free falling to figure out he hadn't loaded the gun. There was a chance that he wouldn't be able to shoot it. I pulled out my knife and stuck it in his thigh.
Zark: AGH!!
He let his gun fall. We were literally free falling through the sky rolling to get on top of each other. I tried to grab his parachute. He pulled the string and I almost fell off. Suddenly, the plane that had shot our plane down landed. Zark pulled the knife out of him and tried to stab me with it. We fought over it desperately. He got the upper hand and stabbed my side.
Me: AHHHhh!!!!
I let go. I felt my life flash before my eyes. I fell slowly. Was this it? The end... All I could think about was Jenette and Jake. Instead of me and him, it would be her and him. The thought made me angry and jealous.
Suddenly, an inch from the ground, I used my telekinesis to stop myself. I fell onto the ground, weak from the knife in my side. I was coughing out blood. I heard Cassie and I think... Amy.
Everything became a blur.

???: ...Is she awake?
Me: Ughhhh... Where am I?
I opened my eyes and tried to sit up.
Cassandra: Hey you can't sit you need to lay down, you have hardly been treated. OMIGLOB! You should of seen it!
Me: ...Seen what?
Cassie: you were all like fighting in the sky, and you used telekinesis to stop yourself from hitting the ground and as soon as you blacked out, your telekinesis released a huge wave of power that moved all of us. We took you on the plane and then Amy started treating your wound a little. You were lifting everything in the room, even me!
Me: Wow.
Amy: Cassie, you should let her rest.
Cassie: Aww... Alright.
Amy: Besides, your bodyguardssaqqq want to see you.
Cassie sighed and left.
Amy: ... Xura. I was examining your blood and something's not right.
Me: What do you mean?
Amy: Did you eat anything on the plane?
Me: Yeah... Why?
Amy: I think you might've been poisoned. A strange material entered your bloodstream. It looked like it was meant to target powers.
Me: What does it do?
Amy: Time will tell. But for now, stay here.
She left the room. It was quiet for a while. I tried to sleep but I couldn't stop thinking about the poison. What could it be?
I tried getting up again. Ugh. It was too much effort. The lights blinked. I could feel a headache coming on, it was very slight for a second and then suddenly it came on full force.
Me: AGHHHHHHHHH!!
I held my head and rolled onto the floor. I curled into a ball.
The pain increased.
Me: ACKKKKKKKK!!!!
I saw Amy running towards my room.
Amy: Xura are you okay?!
I was going to call out to her but the migraine was even more painful by the second, I couldn't even speak. Amy heasitated and she hooked me up to a machiene.
Amy: It looks like the poison is spreading through your brain.
She clicked through a few pictures.
Everything started spinning. The room was getting darker and darker and darker...

I woke up with cold water on my face.
Me: Agh!
I was in a weird room. 2 people were standing in front of me.
???: Dude. You have got to stop having stuff like this happen to you.
???: Well... It's not her fault. It's the author's fault.
I got up and scratched my head. I couldn't remember anything.
Me: Who are you?
The two people looked at each other with an anxious glance.
Me: What is it?
???: You don't remember anything?
Me: well... I remember kissing someone but seems like a long time ago. Who are you people again?
They looked at each other again.
???: I'm Cassandra, your best friend.
???: I'm Amy... You really can't remember?
Me: I'm sorry, not a thing. Now... What's my name?
Cassie: It's Amber!
Amy: No it's not!
Cassie: Well I always wanted a friend named Amber.
Amy: I don't care.
She turned and looked at me.
Amy: Your name is Xura Stryker.
At that name I got an instant headache.
Me: Agh!
Amy got on the computer in front of her.
Amy: It's in her chip! We have to go to it.
Cassie: Yeah! Wait. What?
Amy: We have to go in her head... Or her dreams. That could be a physchological link to the chip in her head.
Cassie: O.o So... Do we get to see what she thinks about?
Amy: Yup. Kinda.
Cassie: Awesome! Let's do it.
Me: What if I'm not in agreement with this....?
Amy: Hrmm... Let's see. You don't have a choice.
Me: .-. Fine. Just take some papers. I want to read what happens in my brain.
Amy: What are you talking about? Your going with us.
Me: How can I go in my brain?

TWO MINUTES LATER....

We were all hooked up to a machieney thingy-dingy.
Amy: Go to sleep.
She turned off the light. We all sat there for like thirty minutes.
Cassie: PSSSSTTTT.... XURA ARE YOU AWAKE?!
Amy: This clearly isn't working.
She turned the light back on and took out a track gun.
Me: What's-
She shot me with it.
Cassie: Oh no-
She shot her with it, then she shot herself.

I opened my eyes. Cassie and Amy were next to me. It looked like they were starting to come to their senses too.
Me: Where are we?
Amy: In your head.
Cassandra: LOOK! There's donuts in here!!!
Amy: Don't eat those!
Cassandra: Why?!!!!
Amy walked over to the donuts and grabbed one. She broke it in half and green stuff swirled out of it.
Cassandra: WHAT THE POTATO... CHIP?!
Amy: Her brain is infected. We have to be careful here.
We looked around. The whole place was very rainbow-ey. There was food on every bush and tree. The grass was sky blue and the sky was beautiful colors. We saw a hill.
Me: We should probably get to that hill....
We walked to the top of the hill.
Cassie: Woah. What is wrong with her head?
The weather was chaos but there was a clear path in front of us. We slid down the hill and walked down. On both our sides, the weather was crazy, but the path somehow stayed clear. We followed the path and took a turn to a crazy looking castle. It was surrounded by stars and thorns were starting to grow into it.
We approached the castle but the gates were locked.
Cassie: Great. Now what?
Xura: We could go home...
Amy threw a pebble at the door.
Cassie: Oh yeah like that's gonna do anything.
The gate disappeared and a magic rainbow bridge formed.
Cassie: .-.
We crossed the bridge and went into the courtyard. One guard stood at the gate. I kinda wandered away. The flowers were made of glass here! It was totes cool.

Lizzy, the guard: Who are you jellybeans?
Cassie: Jellybeans?
Lizzy: You must be foreigners to Xura's mind. All dogs are known as Jellybeans. I'm a jellybean, and your a jellybean.
Cassie: I think Xura's mind must be even weirder than mine.
Lizzy: How dare you insult the great Xura's mind.
Amy: Don't worry... She meant that as a compliment.
I walked over to them.
Lizzy: Queen Xura! How did you escape the poison?
Me: Uh... What?
Lizzy: ... You are Queen Xura, right?
Me: I'm not even sure if Xura is my name >_<
Lizzy: Where are you strangers from?
Amy: The real world.
Lizzy almost freaked out.
Lizzy: You must come with me.
She led us into the castle. To a big room with a desk and a leather chair at the end of it. Lizzy ran ahead and did jazz hands to the queen.
Amy: *whispers* is that how they bow?
I magically got a bowl of potato chips.
Xura: *mouth full* idk but this place is weird.
Amy: Do you get whatever you think of in this world?
Xura: Idk. I guess so.
Cassandra: I want ice cream!
I imagined Cassie with ice cream and it magically appeared in her hands.
Cassie: Awesome! Now... I want a limousine, a million piles of money, my own private island-
Amy: Can you focus?!
Cassie: .-. fineeeeeeee.
We looked back at Lizzy.
Lizzy: My Queen. I bring with me foreigner jellybeans... They're here from the real world.
The dog... I mean, Jellybean spun around in her leather chair.

Cassie: who in the potato chip is that?
Amy: Why would she be the Queen?
I walked up to her... Desk.
Me: Hey, me.
Ashlee: AGHHHHH! Your not supposed to be here!
Cassie: >_< I'm so confused.
Me: why...? Isn't this my world? Btw *whispers* I think those two think that I lost my memory.
Ashlee: You did lose your memory. Dream Xura has been kidnapped.
Me: I don't understand who this "Xura" person is. Everyone says I'm her but... I'm so confused.
Ashlee sighed.
Ashlee: Did you consider reading your diary?
Me: ... No.
I opened my diary while they talked. I managed to multi-task and write down what they said.
Amy: So... Who are you exactly?
Ashlee: I am the first Queen of Xura's dreamworld-
Amy: No... In Xura's life. Who are you?
Ashlee: She never told you? *mumbles* she's already forgetting me...
She shifted positions in the chair.
Ashlee: My name is Ashlee, but I am Xura. Or... I was her. She lived a normal life until she became a sophomore and learned her true identity. She looked like me.
Cassie: Exactly like you?
Ashlee: No... Different. I had a braid, white sweater, purple jeans...
Cassie: Hey Xura! Can you whip me up a chocolate Oreo Shake?
I imagined Cassie with the shake and it appeared in her hands.
Ashlee: Don't mess with that!
Cassie: Why? It's free food! Some fries now, Xura!
Without looking up, I made her some fries.
Ashlee: Your messing with the laws of the dream world. As long as her brain is messed up, anything she imagines can be dangerous.
Cassie: oh please. I know exactly what I'm doing.
Cassie lifted a French fry.
French fry: HEY! PUT ME DOWN!
Cassie: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! TALKING FOOD!!!
All the French fries grew legs and ran away. Wow... Read that outloud, I bet you never thought you'd say that sentence!
Ashlee: See?
Cassie: This proves nothing.
Her shake started growing rapidly.
Cassie: AGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Ashlee: Now do you see?
Cassie: FINE FINE! Your right.
Ashlee used magic to stop the shake. She slouched into her chair, exhausted.
Amy: You have magic?
Ashlee: It's very limited. See, there are certain limitations to my power. Dream Xura has the strongest power of the land, but she's been kidnapped by the strange force that has been haunting the dream world. See, my magic is running low because of the magical barriers I put over the castle and the pathways that lead to it.
Amy: Interesting. So... If we get Dream Xura back, the land will go back to normal?
Ashlee: Not exactly...
Cassie: UGHHHHH THIS NEVER ENDS!!!
Amy: Ignore her
Cassie: I WILL NOT BE IGNOREDDDDDDD!!!!
Ashlee: Okay.... The problem is, is that you need to tame all 4 Weather-crazy land peices. Each one has important memories or people inside them. They should be the key to getting Dream Xura.
Amy: Where is Dream Xura exactly?
Ashlee: She's being held prisoner in depths of the infected dream pool. We've tried to save her, but being dreams ourselves, we can't. However, you are real people. Real people in this world have more power. But each land patch you save from the infection will be your key to saving dream Xura.
I closed my diary.
Me: Aha!!! I read it. Well... Half of it. You guys talked a lot.
I walked over to them.
Me: If we rescue dream Xura... Will she be able to restore dreamworld and my memories?
Ashlee: Yes. But you must work quickly and leave as soon as you can. Once my magical barrier that guards the castle breaks, then her brain will reset and she will have no chance of remembering anything.
Cassie: Well then... let's go on an adventure!
Me: Sounds good to me.
The Queen gave us a bunch of weapons and we skipped out onto one of the dangerous patches of land. To be continued...
