~Redd Starr and Chime~

~Chapter Three~

~That Stupid Gnome Thing~

Tsubaki looks to Redd, Redd looks to Chime, Chime looks to Black*Star, and Black*Star looks to tsubaki. Everyone's ready. Maybe for once in a lifetime they can actually do a good job on their mission. Maybe…

Tsubaki put Redd's lucky gold chain around her neck and walked away with Black*Star. "Tsubaki," he whispered, "new plan. Forget her plan and just go kill the guy." Tsubaki widened her eyes and shook her head, pointing to the restaurant that he was supposed to go into. Black*Star rolled his eyes and abandoned his partner to go to the restaurant. Meanwhile, Redd was giving Chime the signal to turn into katana mode. Redd climbed a tree with orange and red leaves that didn't look very stable at all. She noticed something out of the corner of her eye.

"Oh no," she said under her breath.

"What? I don't-oh no," Chime said.

Black*Star didn't go into the restaurant. He made Tsubaki go into enchanted sword mode and he was about to beat the gnome!

"Black*Star! Stop!" Chime wailed, but it was too late. He was already going after it with all his speed and strength, saying the assassin rules a bit too loudly.

"Dammit Black*Star!" Redd hollered, "I'm gonna kill you BOTH!" She then leaped out of the tree, but her hood got caught. The tree couldn't handle the weight and fell, almost crushing everybody. Redd jumped to her feet and started wailing on Black*Star with her fists while screaming, "what's your problem?! We had a plan you IDIOT and you even agreed to follow through you with it you STUPID LITTLE IGNORANT EXCUSE FOR A NINJA!"

The kishin was happy with the way everyone was acting, carrying on like angry beasts after each other's throats. It saw this as an opportunity to steal that watch Black*Star was wearing. In an instant it was crawling all over the place, trying to get to his wrist.

"Hey get off of me you twerp!" he squeaked, whipping his hand all around, trying to get the kishin to release its grasp. With one swift flick of the wrist from Redd and Chime, that gnome was on the ground, pitifully lying in a pool of blood, his disembodied nose right next to him.

"Gross," Tsubaki said.

"Cool!" Redd cheered.

"Take that you stupid midget! That's what you get for messing with a god!" Black*Star announced proudly, even though he's not the one who did it.

Chime yelled' "Go stick that thing up something else! It's not like you need a nose to tell time!"

But that gnome was quick. It summoned its balloon (God knows how) and started to float away.

"Oh, no you don't!" Redd screamed, giving Chime the signal to go into blow dart mode. She shot a dart right at the balloon, and it popped, letting the gnome kishin fall to its doom. Chime turned into a katana again and screamed her battle cry as Redd whipped her and chopped that gnome up, leaving behind its little soul. Chime turned into human form and grabbed that soul, shoving it down her throat. "Mmmm…" She hummed.

Back at the academy…

"Good job!" Lord Death said in that awkward voice of his, "now for your next assignment…"

"Our…WHAT?!" I exclaimed, "there's MORE?!"

"Well, yes. 98 more, plus a witch's, to be exact. You didn't think it was all over, did you? As I was saying, your next victim will be…The Kishin Masked in Make-Up!
