Chapter 10: Demonic Challenge
	
The next morning was a beautiful day. Ash woke up and opened his 
window to the sounds of birds chirping and the whistling of a light breeze. He had 
to fight to pull himself from the window since he knew it might be his last. He 
finally got away and jumped in the shower. He took longer than usual, he was 
thinking about his days as a young teenager with Misty and Brock or Tracey. 
When he finally finished taking his shower he got dressed in his favorite black 
shirt and blue jeans. He ran his fingers through his hair to spike it up. He looked 
himself over in the mirror before walking out of his room and into the kitchen 
where he saw Jesse, James, Tracey, his mom, Lilly, Daisy, and Violet all looking 
outside the dining room window and out to the backyard.

	"Hey, What's everyone looking at?" he asked
	"Melody is giving Misty a warm up to fight Matrix." Said Jesse
	
	Ash ran over to the window to see Misty and Melody fight like anyone had 
only seen in movies. Tracey was noticing that a lot of the moves that Misty used 
were that of Shawn Michaels. 
	
	Misty was wearing her black HBK ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE t-shirt 
with her black leather pants. She was also wearing a black HBK THE SOURCE 
OF STRENGTH baseball cap. Melody was only wearing a pink tank top with the 
same pair of pants as Misty. Neither of the girls was wearing shoes, so that they 
wouldn't hurt each other when they had such a match up. 

	All of the people that were watching this fight noticed that Misty was 
mainly on the offensive but every once and a while Misty would go on the 
defensive. One move in particular that Misty used was the back flip kick. Melody 
was really put on the defensive for that move but was still hit right in the jaw. 

	After everyone watched for ten minutes, the two came inside to get 
something to eat before they left for their mission.  They came inside holding 
each other up. They were both wobbling from side to side. James and Tracey 
helped them to eh dining chairs before they fell and broke something. Mrs. 
Ketchum ran some eggs and bacon over to the two. 

	"You girls need to eat up. You need your strength, especially you Misty." 
	"Thanks Mrs. Ketchum." They both said as they started stuffing their 
faces.
	"I still can't believe out little sister is going on a like covert operator." Said 
Daisy
	"No Daisy, it's a covert operation." Said Misty correctively
	"Whatever, Misty."
	"Misty, I was just thinking. What are you driving?" asked Tracey
	"I'm not driving, and you shouldn't either until you get the chip. Everything 
else should be on foot. Besides, I have a surprise for Matrix. I still have a friend 
on the island that won't let me down." Misty said as she brought her plate to the 
sink.
	"Ok, it's time to go. We have to be at the agency in twenty minutes for 
gadget and mission briefing." James said looking at his gold Rolex.  
	Before leaving, Ash went and kissed his mom good-bye. Misty hugged 
Mrs. Ketchum and hugged each of her sisters while promising them that she 
would kill Matrix. Misty picked up her pistols and followed everyone walk to their 
cars. Misty got in the Ford GT40and followed Melody and Ash to IEA.

	When they arrived at IEA they didn't drive into the garage like they had in 
the past. They drove around to another garage. They stopped in front of a large 
steel door. Melody got out to open the door since she was the first one in line. 
She slid her ID card to unlock the door. A row of green lights flashed, the door 
made a loud thud and then opened. They drove the cars into a large indoor 
garage where dozens of men were working. They turned off their cars and got 
out. They walked out of the room and through another door, a smaller door. They 
walked through a hallway and up to a green tinted glass door. Through the door 
was the briefing where they walked into.

	"Good morning everyone. Good morning Misty. How are you feeling?" 
asked Richard
	"I'm feeling like playing some sweet chin music for Matrix."
	"Sweet chin music always hit the spot with Matrix. Now let's get to the 
briefing shall we?"
	
	The six agents sat around the large glass table. They were discussing the 
plan for how to get the chip and where they would meet up if Misty survived. 
Many of the agents still objected to the fact of Misty fighting to the death in a 
hardcore last man standing match alone against Matrix. She told them how only 
she could end battle between her family and Matrix.

	"But how are you going to get on the island?" asked Richard
	"I was thinking that we could get Melody in a speed boat. I remember how 
great of a driver she is. Also if the boat happened to be a stealth than we could 
get through even easier." Misty said
	"But where would we land?" asked Melody
	"There's an abandoned underground dock we can harbor at."
	"Why is it abandoned?" asked James
	"Because a naval strike got through the main exterior defenses. All of the 
men at the dock we killed and the ship was sunk. Matrix didn't want another fleet 
coming through and killing his men because he had no defenses in that area. So 
he sealed it up, but on my last mission with him, I noticed that there was a crack 
or rather a hole. We could go through that to get into the base. The dock is really 
close to the missile room and to the training room where I know Matrix will be."
	"Melody, it's up to you." Said Richard
	"I'll do it."
	"Great, but how will we get the cars there."
"Well, go see the Quartermaster for your gadgets. If I don't see you before 
you leave I just want to say that it has been an honor and a privilege to have 
such fine agents on my team. Good luck to all of you."

	"Have fun getting your ass kicked Waterman." Said a sneer voice from 
behind Misty. She turned around to see a very mean looking Karen Ross. "I just 
wanted to say that it wasn't nice knowing you, and I hope Matrix beats you."
	"Well he won't, because I'm making this match because that's how Shawn 
Michaels had it."
	"If I'm not mistaken, Tracey always said Shawn Michaels lost."
	"Only because he got screwed out of the match."
	"Well don't worry, that won't happen to you. You'll just lose because you're 
a terrible fighter, just like your friend Jena."
	"You mean Jade."
	"Whatever. All terrorists deserve to lose."
	"Karen tell me, do you music?" asked Misty with a grin growing on her 
face.
	"I love music."
	"Really?" 
	"Oh yes."
	"Do you like Sweet Chin Music?" 
	"I don't think I know what that…" she was cut off as Misty kicked her in the 
face. Her head cocked back and her body crashed to the floor with a thud.
	"Now you know what it is."
	"Good kick Misty." Said Richard
	"Thanks Mr. Carrington."
	"Excuse me?"
	"Thanks dad." Misty said as she hugged him.
	"Now go beat Matrix, and give him one of those Super Kicks for me."
	"I will."

	By the time Misty had caught up to the others they were already with the 
Quartermaster. Misty looked at the man, expecting an old Desmond Llewlyn look 
alike. But this man was tall. He had long brown hair. (You know what, instead of 
explaining what he looks like to you here is who he really is-Shawn Michaels 
WWE wrestler)
	
	He was holding up a boot with a knife coming from the front.

	"This here is the new standard issue boot for all IEA agents. It holds a 
knife underneath the toes and is pushed out and locked or it is fired out. An air 
tube runs through the sole of the boot connected to a pump in the back. You 
simply apply pressure to the heel of the boot. Now you must apply a good 
amount to even get it to come out enough to lock. I you don't give it enough 
pressure to come out and lock, it will only fall out. Next, your standard issue black 
military fatigue. We've added another layer of body armor to all areas of the suit. 
You each have a built in holster on each side of your ribs. You have three 
grenade pouches and fifteen ammunition clip pouches that have all been filled 
with your selected weapons. Your transportation. We reloaded all weapon ports; 
rockets, bullets, boosts, and charges. We also took the liberty of filling the gas 
tanks. And finally, the speedboat Misty requested. Designed specifically Melody, 
since we assumed she would be using it during the missions. There are four 
engines in the back that are covered with a layer of bulletproof armor. Each of 
the engines produces 150hp to give this boat a total of 600hp. The last thing on 
this boat, which I am particularly proud of is that it's a stealth boat. Cannot be 
picked up by radar, which is perfect for the designated mission you're going on. 
Good luck guys." 
	"Wait, can this boat pull six cars on a deck?"
	"Of course it can."
	"Great."

	The six went and put on their military fatigue. They went through each 
pouch and made sure they all had a grenade or a clip. They took apart all of their 
guns and cleaned out the barrel and the slide. They put the guns back together 
and loaded them in their holsters. Misty and Melody went and warmed up for ten 
minutes while the other spent ten minutes on target practice. After their time was 
up they met near the speedboat. They loaded their pistols and than put them 
back in the holsters. They drove their cars onto the deck behind the boat. The 
agents than got in the boat to go take on their mission.

	They drove for hours. The boat reached up to a speed of. 160 mph. Every 
two hours, someone would trade with the current driver. Finally, after driving for 
twenty hours, Misty saw an island in the distance. She handed the binoculars to 
everyone so they could see it. 
	"That's it, Ondlae. We should be there in fifteen minutes, and 
Melody…punch it through here."
	Melody took the wheel for the remainder of the time. She took the boat up 
to 180mph, which was the top speed since they had the cars on the back. When 
just a half a mile away from the underground dock, Tracey saw turrets rising from 
the rock walls.
	"Misty! Matrix put up some defenses!"
	"Don't worry. Matrix only has automated turrets. They can't see us."
	Melody continued speeding through and into the underground dock. She 
pulled up slowly to the edge. Tracey and Ash pulled the boat in and tied it to the 
dock. James jumped to the car dock and tied that to the dock. The five got into 
their cars and were about to start them up.
	"What are you doing?" asked Misty
	"Taking our cars." Said Jesse
	"No, you're on foot until after you get the chip. I know you have remotes 
you can call them with, than you can have them blast this seal and than you can 
use them. Now come on."

	Misty led the group up the steep wall of broken and cracked stone. She 
crawled up to the hole and stuck her head up to make sure no one was there.
	"Clear." Misty said as she pulled herself out of the hole. She helped the 
others up. "The missile room is down that hall. It has a large ten-foot steel door. 
You can't miss it. But just incase you guys decide to follow Ash…" she took out a 
piece of paper and drew the basic layout, "here, just follow the hall, it never splits 
into two or more, it only leads you to rooms, except for the last turn but from 
there you can see the room. Now all you have to do is rip it out, its about two 
inches high and is gold. Rip it out and go. Get your cars to pick you up and if I'm 
not at the boat than leave. Don't wait even thirty seconds, just go."
	"Bye Misty, good luck." Melody hugged Misty and said good-bye.
	"Mist, it was really great seeing you again, even though you kicked my 
knocked me unconscious. But I'm really going to miss you because now, there is 
no way I'll see you again," Ash kissed on the cheek and hugged her, "I'll never 
forget you."
	"I'm going to miss you too Ash. But, complete the mission and go have a 
great life. Get married to that slut if you want to, have kids, grow old together."
	"I don't want to marry her. She really is a slut, everyone was right."
	"Bye Ash." Misty said, than she kissed him on the lips. But Ash felt 
something against his leg. She was handing him something. "Use it at the door 
and than again when you're in trouble. Good luck Ash, I love you." She 
whispered after she kissed him. (No one heard.)
	Misty turned away and started walking away.
	"Misty. I brought you something." Ash took out a black hat and necklace 
and gave it to Misty. "You forgot these."
	"Thanks Ash." She saw that they were her Shawn Michaels hat and 
necklace.
	
	Misty turned around and waved to Ash as she went around the corner and 
down the hall towards Matrix.

	"Al right, lets go." Tracey said.
	They started walking down the hall with their silenced pistols out. Each 
corner, one of them would check around to see if there were any guards. They 
followed the hallway to the end where Misty said it would split. They looked down 
to there left and saw more another continuing hallway, than they looked to the left 
and saw the tall steel door.
	"That's it."
	They walked down to the door but saw that it was a voice-activated lock.
	"How do we get in, Misty never told us about any locks." Said Jesse.
	"She gave me something and told me to use it." Ash said pulling up the 
small gadget she gave him. She put it up to the speaker and pushed the red 
button on the device, "Misty Waterman, Weapons Designer."
	"Weapons Designer? Did she make this missile?" asked Tracey
	A green bar above the door lit up. The door slowly lifted up and they all got 
their pistols ready. The door had completely opened and locked open with a 
thud. Ash went in first. No one was in the room. They followed Ash over to a 
large Missile that was locked into a metal transport. James examined the missile 
to find where the chip would be. He found a hatch on the bottom. He opened it 
and saw a gold card, just like Misty had said. H ripped it our and put it in his 
chest pocket. He closed up the hatch and they turned around to see ten guards 
with AK47s.
	"Throw down your weapons. Do it now."
	Ash pushed the button on the device again, "Sector One Defenses." Two 
turrets pulled down and faced the guards. The men were shot back as the turrets 
shot them with what looked like shotgun rounds from the shells. The turrets 
twisted around to see if anyone else was there than they rose up slowly and shut 
down.

	Misty walked the hallways seeing no one. She quickly made her way to 
the training room, but around the corner, she heard footsteps. She stood herself 
against the wall and waited for the guard to walk by. As soon as she saw his face 
she punched him. He stumbled to the wall and used his hands to stop himself. 
Misty ran up from behind him and jump kicked him, knocking his face against the 
hard wall. She continued following the halls to find Matrix. Ay last she found the 
door she was looking for. It was a bulletproof glass door that was surrounded by 
a large bulletproof window. Inside she saw Matrix training in the ring. Above him 
hung the steel cage. She walked away from the door with a grin on her face and 
walked into the women's locker room that was to her left. Inside there was not 
one person, so she walked to her old locker, hoping that Matrix had not cleaned it 
out. She spun in her code and pulled the lock out of the hole. She opened up her 
locker to find her work out clothes and the last fighting outfit she may ever wear. 
She unzipped her military fatigue. She pulled off her pants and boots. She pulled 
out of her locker her wrestling vest, pants, boots, and took out her work out cd.

	Matrix was in the wrestling ring practicing all sorts of moves on one of his 
men. He was performing a match against him and was beating him senseless. At 
last he pinned him, one…two…three. The man rolled out of the ring and held 
onto his chest as he walked to the locker room.
	"He was to easy Jen. I want someone better. And I want him now…"
	
	Suddenly, Shawn Michaels' intro music 'Sexy Boy' started playing through 
the room. Matrix looked around and than saw Misty come from the women's 
locker room. She was the black HBK tights, with the leather pants that HBK 
wears over his pants (he wears them to the ring and than takes them off, yeah 
those.) She was wearing her black HBK ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE t-shirt, 
and her boots that were an exact replica of HBK's, and over that was the mirror 
covered leather vest (he also wears that to the ring and than takes that off too.) 
She was wearing the HBK cross pediment and her black HBK THE SOURCE OF 
STRENGTH hat. And finally she had her hair hanging down (at least three 
quarters of it.) She had that hanging from underneath her hat, and than she had 
then remainder of her hair in a pony tail and coming out of the hole in the back of 
her hat. She was coming down to the ring the same way Shawn Michaels does. 
She did the dance and everything, exactly correct. She made no mistake in the 
delivery. As Misty went into the ring she looked at Matrix and saw his face was 
showing some fear. She ended her performance by doing the Heartbreak Pose.
	"Hey Matrix."
	"What are you doing here?" 
	"I'm here to end this."
	"What do you mean?"
	"You killed Jade's dad. You ruined my life, Jade's, and Crystal's life. You 
killed my best friend. And I'm going to kill YOU now."
	"How do you expect to do that?" he asked with a grin on his face
	"Well, you ruined my life so I decided to end it with a wrestling match. 
Hardcore to be precise." She said with a grin on her face
	"Hardcore?" the grin slowly disappeared from Matrix.
	"But then, you killed my friends, so I figured to end it with a Last Man 
Standing match." A bigger grin came across her face
	"Last Man Standing?" the grin was almost gone from his face
	"But then, Richard told me that you killed my dad. You set him up to be 
humiliated because you alone could not beat him. You took me to embarrass my 
dad even more by showing all the agencies of the country that you turned Robert 
Waterman's daughter into one of the most dangerous terrorists in the world. Well 
now I'm going to embarrass you, by showing all the agencies of the country that 
Robert Waterman's daughter beat the most dangerous terrorist in the world." She 
yelled angrily
	"How do you expect to do that?" he asked with a grin coming back
	"I'll challenge you to the most demonic structure known to man!"
	"No." the grin instantly left his face as he looked up to the cage above.
	"I challenge you to a Last Man Standing…"
	"No!" he yelled as his face turned white with terror
	", Hell In a Cell!"
