The Scooby Gang - Sort of

JP with Jaxx, Trustno1, mdman, Redsword and Cindy

Sung and Choi pulled up to where the Blue team was staying, pulling up to the Halliwell mansion. After parking Sung paused looking into his rearview mirror for a minute it was clear none drove by or paused looking in. He pulled out his phone and sent a text to Alyssa.

SungText: We have arrived at the Halliwell mansion The area looks clear."

"OK, it is Clare Choi. We can head in unless you want to stay here," said Sung, picking up his sword and getting out.

Alyssa heard the buzz of her phone and looked at the message. Texting back a thumbs up. "The Dragons are here." She finished the last of her sandwich and OJ and went towards the front door.

Agent Powers continued to eat quietly as he listened to Alyssa speaking from the other room. He was ready for fight anytime but he had no intention of messing up any teamwork they managed to make in the process.

As Sung’s Suburban roled to a stop at the mansion, Choi unbuckled his seatbelt. Getting out, he replaced the sword bag over his shoulder. It didn’t reveal the hilt, so some people, especially law enforcement, might take it as pool cues on the inside.

He waited for Sung to exit and do the same. Then together, they walked to the front door. Knowing others were on the inside, Yeong simply knocked instead of forcing his way.

"You going to be wearing your hoodie today Alyssa?” Peter asked.

"Probably, why?" Alyssa responded to Sam.

She then opened the door. Greeting the two Dragons with a, "Mornin" then stepping aside to let the two men in.

"You look like the perfect hacker in that hoody with those shades.” Peter said.

Choi nodded then bowed to greet those in the house. “My favorite Illuminati!” he enthusiastically stated as he rose with a wink at Alyssa the Hacker. “I’m glad you are still okay. We believe we have a difficult battle ahead. Glimpsing at the big guy, Yeong inquired, “Agent Powers, you have a song for us today?”

He then saw Sartre. Choi didn’t know how to take the man. He had mixed feelings from him at times. But then, he wasn’t with him as long as he was Alyssa and Powers.

Alyssa nodded at Peter's compliment. "Really? Well, then I might have to keep the look."

She smiled at Choi, "Yup, all good and I'm glad you are still alright as well. Both of you." Alyssa paused, listening to Choi talk about a difficult battle ahead she could only nod.

Choi was chipper for being on guard all night. The tactical breathing he did gave his body all the rest he needed.

“So, why are we back here? We didn’t find everything the first time?” Yeong asked. “No way I’m opening that book again.”

"We were asked to come back here last night, when Prue Halliwell showed up at our hotel." Alyssa paused. "And yes she was dead but isn't any longer. Anyway the sisters are here, upstairs. Something happened last night but overall I think they're going to help us.”

Agent Powers merely smiled at Choi and he gave a smolder before he replied, "You never know. Oh and take her words with a grain of salt. That Prue girl can be harsh.”

Alyssa sighed, "I didn't know we were that loud. Prue doesn't particularly like me but whatever." She shrugged. The feelings were pretty mutual.

Choi raised his brows at those last two comments. He shook his head and asked, “How could anyone not like Alyssa the Hacker.”

He gazed upstairs. He never knew an undead person, let alone one that seemed to be good. Choi had thought those entities were all evil. Maybe that was why she didn’t like Alyssa. That was all conjecture, so he could wait to meet the third sister. The first two didn't go so well. They had been uncooperative. Why the cooperation now?

Agent Powers shrugged as he replied, "Who knows why people do what they do.”

Sung had just been in the background and not saying anything. He bowed to them when he entered but was quiet, opting more to sense the Anima in the area and house.

"I love the look, Alyssa, especially when you're at your computer.” Peter interjected.

Choi’s lips tightened. What was up with Agent Sartre? He wrinkled a brow some more. He began to think the guy was a creeper himself, making these types of comments to a young girl. Admittedly, she was cute, but Sartre was older. Much older.

Changing the subject, Choi asked, “So, what do the sisters have in store for us?”

Alyssa didn't know why Peter was going on about how she looked in a hoodie in front of everyone when there were more important things to discuss so out loud she didn't respond but in the chip said to Peter, "Remember when you said to tell you if you were making me uncomfortable well that would be now."

"Don't know." Alyssa responded, outloud. "Maybe we should talk in the living room." She started leading the group into the living room, so everyone could sit down. Once everyone was in the living room, she said. "The plan was to go to Charles Duane's church. Were the sisters coming with us?" That question was more targeted at Peter because he should be the one who knew that answer.

In the chip, Peter responded, "I was trying to lighten things up, I feel we should be as relaxed as possible.”

Peter then spoke out loud about the sisters, "They want to stay here and discuss things themselves. For some reason Charles Duane wants only the factions to come. Alyssa, are you armed? Everyone else? The sisters want us back here tonight."

Somehow, Yeong couldn’t see Alyssa with a weapon. Her weapon of choice seemed to be behind the scenes. Covert, online tactics.

Reaching up and over his head, Choi opened up the bag and slid the sword up slightly. “Thanks to Master Sung, I left the nunchucks behind. This should do the trick.”

He turned to Agent Powers. “How about you, Agent Powers? Anything besides those two huge guns?” He pointed at Powers’ biceps as he asked.

Sung sat cradling his sword bag so all could see the ornate leather bag folded over on the top and tied. "I am a master swordsman and do not use firearms but can attack at range if I Need to," added Sung, his tone professional and not boasting more reserved.

Alyssa lifted her jean leg slightly to reveal an ankle holster and a small pistol, "That's all I've got weapon wise." She had a feeling whatever they might run across was unlikely to be bothered much by her little pistol.

Agent Powers gave a smolder smirk as he replied, "Funny you should ask. I have a pistol and knife in my boots and a lot of ball bearings in my pocket. But with these two guns (pointing at his arms) I can turn anything into a weapon like a desk, tree or a car." He smiled at the others as he felt confident.

Choi smirked back. “Good for you, Powers. Well, what do you suppose will come out of this church thing?”

Choi had never experienced a Western church. He didn’t expect it to be anything like the monastery.

Sartre retrieved his bag, "Alyssa this is my Anima Charged MP5, can you use it?" He showed her the rifle.

Agent Powers rubbed his chin as he pondered the answer to Choi's question. He then replied, "Well from my experience churches can be old and boring with normal people arguing over what fundraiser to go with. However on the other hand there are churches that run as a front for drugs running, slave trafficking, kidnapping, occult practices, money laundering, military bases and political support." Agent Powers nodded his head a bit before the smolder came and he replied, "At least that is what I learned when I crushed a bunch of them in the past.”

"I know how to use an MP5, the IIlumanti kind of insisted I had training with all kinds of guns but I've not used one since then." Alyssa responded to Peter's offer for the rifle.

That was the most Choi had heard from Agent Powers. He was impressed.

Hearing Alyssa, Yeong responded, “You’ll be fine. Just aim and pull the trigger. When are we heading for the show?”

Choi looked to Sung. “Master? Perhaps we should alert Eun-Ji.”

Alyssa nodded to Yeong's response. "Well, I'm ready if everyone else is. We'll have to take two vehicles, with Max there won't be enough room in the back of my van for everyone.”

Agent Powers shrugged as he replied, "Sorry for being a big guy.”

"One thing I would like Alyssa, Make sure we are not in front of you when you shoot," added Sung. Turning to Choi I know you have a phone, use it" Sung now sounding annoyed. "I am not your secretary or in charge of you yet," replied Sung. Letting out a sigh. "Sorry, I know I am the more experienced Dragon here. When Eun-Ji completes her task she will join us," said Sung looking a bit uncomfortable.

Alyssa rolled her eyes at Sung, "I thought you said I was Velma - the smart one. Velma is certainly smart enough to not shoot the people on her side, as am I." She paused, "Are we ready? Oh, do we want to mix up the groups in case there's problems on the way there?”

Agent Powers was confused by the odd comments and asked, "Who is this Velma you keep mentioning? Is she some legendary person I should know about?”

Choi wasn’t sure who Velma was either. He didn’t see much TV at the monastery, and only used the internet on smart TVs when on a mission. He did watch a movie here and there, but it wasn’t his main focus.

“I wouldn’t know,” Choi responded, “but she must be intelligent.”

"She's an animated character. Old animation, like way before my time." Expressing the word "way" to indicate how old Sung must be. "Scooby-Doo. It came back several different times but Sung's probably referencing the original. Everyone in the group had their niches, Velma was the intelligent one.”

Choi smirked as he said, “See? I told you so. Intelligent, just like Alyssa.”

"Take the Rifle. I'll use the pistol. Everyone ready?" said Sartre

Choi felt a vibration in his pocket. “Hold on,” he said, pulling his phone from it. “Well, what do you know?” he said with a grin. “Eun-Ji has beat us to the punch. Let’s go!”

Alyssa smiled at Yeong’s compliment. She nodded at Peter, "Alright, I'll get it from you when we get there."

Alyssa led whoever was riding with her to the van and opened it. She got into the driver's side, buckled in and waited on the others.

Choi looked to Sung. He saw the man as being wiser than he. He would allow Sung to decide on whether he would go with the Illuminati or remain with him.

Sung looked around the room. "Choi, you can go with them, it will make communication easier. If one of you with a gun would like to come with me that would be appreciated. I don't know if your van is heavy so I will take the lead and deal with any trouble if needed." said Sung with a grin. "Scooby-Doo" added Sung walking out of the house.
