Code Red Storytelling

"Once upon a time, there was a girl named Joker. Well, of course my real name isn't Joker. She was abandoned in the woods at age nine, adopted by a criminal organization at age 13, and a proficient killer at age 15. Of course, as you all know, my specialty is knives. I just love knives, you know? They're my best friends! And they just look so..." Then she paused. "I might get terminated for saying this, so never mind. Anyway, she love to cut up her victims so that it look like they were smiling! How thoughtful, letting them smile at their death bed. Anyway, one day, on a mission, I failed and the public came to know of our organization because of me. The head decided to kill me so I was strapped to a bomb and thrown off a cliff. And then 'boom' I died." Joker started giggling. "If I ever reincarnate, I'm going to..." She smiled. "I don't want to get terminated, so never mind."

"How good are your knife skills? Probably as bad as your mentality, LOL." Quinn opened her lipstick again. She had opened the cap and was screwing the stick up, when suddenly a knife cut right through the pigmented wax and disappeared into the darkness of the room. The red wax had been cut neatly into halves. A wide-eyed Quinn, still holding the lipstick, glanced from Joker to the lipstick.

"Well...They're just so and so." Joker smiled, her scars next to her mouth lifting higher than usual. "Next?" With a raised eyebrow and a smirk, she lifted a hand toward Quinn's direction. Huffing, Quinn put away her make-up and calmed herself, starting on her story.

"I joined a underground gang after being orphaned at 16. I'm great at assassinations, especially private ones. I have a lipstick taser, poisoned face powder to dust at stuff, dagger mascara, and more. I died after being found out by one of my targets. They stabbed me to death." Quinn kept a very calm face after telling her story.

After 2 hours of carefree storytelling, Team Yellow Submarine, consisting of Jinxed, Amay, Kako, and Nocens, excused themselves, saying they had to prepare for their mission.

"Since we can't get to the point fast enough, we need to quickly hear Gumiho's story. So spill the beans." Annie and Kill'im spoke, alternating.

"Fine, but don't bother me after this." Gumiho cleared his throat. "I'm the nine-tailed fox. I killed half of the population in Ancient Korea. I died because of a curse. The end. Okay, I'm going, bye."

"Wait, what was that? You can't leave yet! What kind of bull--" Just then, a mechanical voice that was too familiar to all of them spoke.

"Code Red. Team Yellow Submarine's Amay has been terminated for killing an innocent. All Teams are to depart for this mission immediately."

There was a silence. Then they all started talking.

"It hasn't been that long since the last one, and Amay's been pretty stable..."

"What kind of threat is it to have triggered Code Red?"

"Take extra knives, ammunition, lipstick, whatever, guys. Code Red means this target is going to be way harder than usual." Gumiho went to his room to get his magic talismans, fox beads, and his mask. Everyone else started to pack extras of everything.

"Everyone ready for departure?" Annie, sucking on a lollipop and holding her bear, opened the portal.

"All Villains, stay on guard!" Gumiho shouted. "Through the portal!" The League of Just Villains marched through the portal, all tense and ready to fight.

***

[Kako has been eliminated by the target. Only two members of Team Yellow Submarine have survived.]

The League of Just Villains arrived in the dimension of the target. There lay a destroyed building, with 2 people standing over a corpse. The League recognized Team Yellow Submarine and immediately ran over.

"What happened?" Gumiho asked Nocens. He wore his black operational mask and tinted sunglasses. He frowned.

"Our target fooled us all. It's...a god." Nocens pointed at the sky. "Amatsumikaboshi. He consumed the god of all stars and they've become one evil god. They hypnotized Amay to kill an innocent bystander and killed Kako. Only Jinxed and I are left." Nocens had been a notorious mercenary in the past. He knew many strategies and was the most experienced and mature. It was the first time see him...unnerved.

"Seems the gods have come to know of the System. And how are we supposed to kill a god?" Hawkie, one of the Just Villains, asked.

"Well, we're all supposed to be dead, right? The System is keeping us alive for a reason, so they'll give us good stuff," Joker said, reassuringly. Just then a crack in the sky appeared.

"Who dares come into my property?!" A handsome man appeared out of the sky, holding a star in one hand. He started laughing hysterically upon seeing the group. "You think you can beat me just because you brought more people? I tell you, this Star of Calamity will--"

BAAM! Mirage shot a rocket at the man, and he dodged it just in time.

"What was tha--AGH!" the man dodged a second rocket from Mirage just in time.

"Villain cliche number: they talk way too much. Honestly you get too distracted while describing what you do; that's why us villains always get killed, hmph." Mirage reloaded her rocket launcher.

Ignoring Mirage, Amatsumikaboshi continued talking.

"Hmph, way to treat the Star of Calamity that will kill you a--AGGGHHH!" Amatsumikaboshi barely dodged another rocket. He was infuriated at this point.

"Honestly, when the two gods merged, I think only half a brain came through." Joker shook her head. "I feel bad for Kako, who got killed by such a moron."

"Seems you people still don't know. Once I drop my Star of Calamity, the whole earth will be wiped out--" Another rocket came whistling by.

"Just attack him." Gumiho spread his nine-tails out, a rune in each hand. Amatsumikaboshi smirked. He shot a ball of energy near their destination. A crater appeared, it's depth immeasurable. Amatsumikaboshi laughed a signature villain's evil laugh.

"Prepare to be annihilated."
