"Logan, why do I have to keep doing these no magic challenges," cried Jaivva.
Motioning his hands to mock monks, Logan answered, "Thus is the way of the ninja. For they do not need magic to get the job done".
She read through the scroll once more, "Well we need to infiltrate a compound and kill some general".
"f**k him," said Mimi drinking a bottle of water, "Hey Logan, did Dani or Kiki tell you the news"?
"What news?" asked Logan with a suspicious look on his face.
He tried to focus on their loadout, bringing short swords and small bows for weapons. The smile on Kiki's face frightened him just a bit. No matter how much he focused on getting the right equipment from Oaka, the thought of what those two could possibly have to tell him caught his attention.
"Don't worry Logan. I'll let you focus," said Mimi smiling, "But it may involve Vanessa as well".
"Me?" asked Vanessa, completely lost on what they were talking about.
Logan, now ready to go, snapped his fingers towards Mimi, "Don't mess with my tickets".
Jaivva stared at Vanessa, shrugging her shoulders. Both were lost to what was going on. Only Jaivva was able to piece together that something was going on at that damn trailer park.
"Oh, by the way, I'll be taking a weekend off to got to a safari," said Jaivva.
Logan shrugged his shoulders, "Cool, let us know which weekend and make sure you get limit breaks with the entire team".
Vanessa reminded her that it couldn't be next week due to some plan they had with The Paragon Sisters. Nobody knew why, but Logan was completely fine with Jaivva being gone for a weekend.

Everybody watched from the screen as Logan and Jaivva stood further into the forest. Logan was wiping his entire face and head from the stress on his mind. Thankfully Jaivva warmed him back into the mission.
The night sky worked wonders for them. They weren't easily seen, enabling them to move about safely. The compound walls were in sight. Guards patrolled the grounds. Logan finished his ice pop while Jaivva downed a piece of chocolate as they looked around the compound for intel.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Vanessa looked up at the screen squinting her eyes, "They rarely take the game seriously".
"Dani is like that too," added Kiki, "She'll sacrifice her own dead mother's soul to win. Meanwhile sleep for half the mission".
"Leave Dani alone. That's my little sister," said Mimi.
"Oh my God, the thought of you two together is driving me crazy," said Kiki.

A guard stepped into the woods with two others behind him. The one in the rear fell dead.
When the middle one looked back, Jaivva jumped on top, placing him in a death choke. A kunai was thrown in the first one's neck before he could react.
Logan rushed to keep blood from pouring on the first man's uniform. The struggle was easy. Nearly as easy as the few seconds it to for Jaivva to snap her victim's neck. The guard stopped struggling, allowing Logan to strip away his clothing as did Jaivva.
Once they were dressed, the two danced through the forest. Was there doubt or urgency in their body? Nope. Nada. This was feeling pretty easy given what the two have accomplished in the past.
Hell, Jaivva remembered trying to sneak around in the desert back in September. God, she was horrible. She had always alerted the aliens. It took a lot of training and patience from Logan. He and Dani were great mentors for her. Jaivva owed a lot to those two for expanding her game skills and fattening her wallet. The best part... it never stopped.
Walking into the entrance, Logan and Jaivva reported in. They overheard a few guards checking in earlier to know the proper checking in procedures and the designated areas of the wall to be patrolled.
It was an easy task alone. Guards and patrollers were typically low ranking and inexperienced. Stepping into the compound, the two quickly began mapping out the area in their head. The walls were stone with metal at the bases. But everything inside was wooden like those old Japanese houses in anime.
Neither was starstruck. They merely enjoyed themselves as they supposedly went to the bathroom. If only it wasn't for that guard behind them. Slowly pacing behind them by a good ten feet. His steps were heard walking to their pace. What a lousy creep. Didn't he realize there was barely anybody walking around?
To make it worse, Logan was now walking at a faster pace. The man wanted to keep up since he was deemed a higher threat. But the motioning of Jaivva's body indicated otherwise.
For that brief moment, no eyes were on them. Logan hit a corner, watching out for her. The man rotated his body towards Jaivva. But before his pec could see her, Jaivva threw a kunai into his throat.
She pulled him in by the arm and dug the same kunai across his neck. He gargled as Jaivva lifted him by his crotch and threw him into a deep fire pit.
"What's that?" yelled a fellow guard walking over. The sound of the bursting flames alarmed him.
"Just trash," answered Jaivva as she closed the pit.
Logan waited by the corner, yawning as though bored with life. Perhaps that's why he was trying to get into the pro leagues so bad. He needed a new high of thrill. Something to keep him interested. The current fights and themes were a little too easy.
The guard that spoke to Jaivva walked by, leaving her to join Logan's side.
"How much did we make so far?" asked Logan looking about the compound.
"About 4k in points," answered Jaivva.
"This seems pretty easy," said Logan, "Wanna run around and make some money for your trip"?
"I do want a leopard outfit for the trip," answered Jaivva.
Logan grinned looking about the compound for their next move.
A commanding officer walked out of his room. He had a concubine waiting. But when he saw a mocha-colored woman in a uniform wink, he had to approach.
Logan came from around the corner and walked inside the room unnoticed. The concubine laid there under the covers. It was easier than how Jaivva played. While simultaneously covering the concubine's face with a blanket, Logan stabbed his sword into her lungs.
The commanding officer couldn't take his eyes off Jaivva. Walking right back into the room, she closed the door behind them. His disgusting smile looked better when Logan jabbed his blade into his lungs as well.
After pulling out the blade, Logan jumped choked the CO to the ground. Jaivva on the other hand prepped the bed. Once the CO was out of air, Logan dragged him to the bed and stripped him of his clothing. Both the CO and his concubine laid dead together. It didn't matter. Logan covered them with a blanket while Jaivva locked the door.
Fairly easy they thought. Jaivva searched through a little wooden dresser in the room. A map of the compound was found. Logan fixing his uniform looked over her shoulder.
"Any money"?
She landed her finger right on the treasury room. It was kinda far. Much further than the target. They didn't care. Logan boosted Jaivva up to the ceiling.
