[Exterior shot of the school's track and field. We go to a close-up of Raven in her gym uniform, pole vaulting over a bar. When she lands, a crowd of students cheers, causing her to blush and bashfully rub the back of her head. Cut to Mr. Ryu, who is dressed as a gym teacher and standing in front of a whiteboard.] 	[Exterior shot of the school's track and field.

Mr. Ryu 	Yes, very good, Raven!

Berrycream 	Wow! Raven has gotten so popular after beating up Ryan Sasuke last week!
Dark Shi 	Oh, was that his name?
[We see a montage of Raven playing different sports: hurdling, volleyball, and billiards. Finally, she prepares to slam dunk a basketball, yelling as she does so, but she gets interrupted by the basketball hoop being sliced in two. Raven crashes into the ground; her stray basketball hits Ryan Sasuke, who is playing tetherball with Strawberry. Raven rubs her head in pain as she sits up.] 	[We see a montage of Raven playing different sports: hurdling, volleyball, and billiards.

Raven 	Oww! What... what happened to the basketball hoop?
[Intimidating music plays as a mysterious kimono-clad figure stands on the remains of the basketball hoop, wielding a sword. It turns out to be a scruffy-looking boy with brown hair and stubble on his face.] 	[Intimidating music plays as a mysterious kimono-clad figure stands on the remains of the basketball hoop, wielding a sword.

Slash 	Sorry to cut in! My name is Slash!
Raven 	Who are you?
Slash 	...My name is Slash! Knife to meet you!
Berrycream 	Isn't that Isaiah Gonzales?
Slash 	[angrily] My name is Slash!
Raven 	Okay, "Slash." What's the big idea of cutting down our hoop when I was about to hit a nasty dunk?!
Slash 	Heh... wouldn't you like to know, Little Miss Popular? You'll be seeing a lot more of me this year!
[Slash jumps away, landing in the nearby forest.] 	[Slash jumps away, landing in the nearby forest.]
Raven 	...What was that guy's name again?
[Raven is hit by a dodgeball. It bounces back into the hands of DrillGirl.] 	[Raven is hit by a dodgeball. It bounces back into the hands of DrillGirl.]
DrillGirl 	Looks like another out for DrillGirl.
[DrillGirl jumps into the air and spins around like a drill before tossing her dodgeball at blinding speed. Cut to Omen, doing nothing in particular.] 	[DrillGirl jumps into the air and spins around like a drill before tossing her dodgeball at blinding speed. Cut to Omen, doing nothing in particular.]
Omen 	I am more excited than ever to-
[Omen gets hit by the dodgeball DrillGirl threw, which bounces away and collides with the school, causing part of it to explode. The crowd begins cheering as Raven looks on, dumbfounded.] 	[Omen gets hit by the dodgeball DrillGirl threw, which bounces away and collides with the school, causing part of it to explode.

DrillGirl 	[in the distance] I love this school! I want to live here!
[Whip pan to the next scene; a montage where Slash keeps interrupting Raven during her day. First, he cuts her desk in two while she is writing a paper. After a second, the paper gets cut in two as well. In the next scene, Raven is about to drink milk when Slash cuts the carton, causing the milk to splash in Raven's face. Next, Raven is cutting a plank of wood with a buzzsaw; Slash cuts it in the wrong direction. After that, Raven helps an old lady cross the street, and nothing happens to either of them. Then, Raven is attempting to defuse a bomb when Slash cuts it in half and causes it to explode, destroying part of the school again. Lastly, Raven is in line at the cafeteria when Slash cuts in line and takes the last hot dog. This is the last straw; we see Raven, enraged, in front of a fiery background while a train whistle blows.]	[Whip pan to the next scene; a montage where Slash keeps interrupting Raven during her day.

Raven 	THAT'S IT!

Raven 	Berrycream, can I ask you something?
[Berrycream has her mouth full with her lunch, some kind of pink goop.] 	[Berrycream has her mouth full with her lunch, some kind of pink goop.]
Berrycream 	What is it, Raven?
Raven 	I've been having some run-ins with that guy from basketball — whatever his name was. He's been a real jerk to me for no reason. [indignantly] And we never even met!
[Berrycream takes out a butterfly knife.] 	[Berrycream takes out a butterfly knife.]
Berrycream 	Do you need someone to take care of it?
Raven 	No, no, not like that! I just... want him to leave me alone. Or maybe just figure out why he's been such a bully.
[In one motion, Berrycream fluidly opens and brandishes the butterfly knife.] 	[In one motion, Berrycream fluidly opens and brandishes the butterfly knife.]
Berrycream 	I mean, because, I could make him leave you alone.
Raven 	Thank you, Berrycream. But... I think I should bring this up with an adult.
[Cut to the guidance counselor's office. Raven peeks her head in the doorway, and the guidance counselor swivels their chair around to reveal that they are Gentlemen Broncos on Blu-ray.] 	[Cut to the guidance counselor's office.

Gentlemen Broncos Blu-ray 	Ah, greetings and salutations, Raven! It's such an honor to be in the midst of so many juvenescent, ripe minds.
Raven 	[pensive] Hello, Guidance Counselor Gentlemen Broncos on Blu-ray.
Gentlemen Broncos Blu-ray 	What brings you into my office today?
Raven 	Well...
[Clock wipe to Raven sitting on a therapy couch.] 	[Clock wipe to Raven sitting on a therapy couch.]
Raven 	...and ever since then, he's been following me around and messing with me! I don't know what to do!
Gentlemen Broncos Blu-ray 	I see... Well, have you considered just talking to them?
Raven 	What do you mean?
Gentlemen Broncos Blu-ray 	It's possible there is more than meets the eye. You should see why they're being so confrontational.
Raven 	You mean like, I should fight him?
Gentlemen Broncos Blu-ray 	[nonplussed] Okay.
Raven 	Okay, great! Thank you, Guidance Counselor Gentlemen Broncos on Blu-ray! You're the best!
Gentlemen Broncos Blu-ray 	Remember who you are and what you stand for!
[Bubble transition to the school courtyard at sundown, where Slash is cutting apart a trash can. It eventually splits in half, revealing Raven standing behind it.] 	[Bubble transition to the school courtyard at sundown, where Slash is cutting apart a trash can.

Slash 	Ah, Raven! What brings you to my neck of the woods?
Raven 	I've come to talk. You've been a big bully to me lately, and now, I know how to deal with bullies.
Slash 	Heh. Your charismatic guise is no match for my edge-wielding prowess.
[Raven points in Slash's face, surprising him.] 	[Raven points in Slash's face, surprising him.]
Raven 	I'm going to beat the shit out of you!
Slash 	Oh. Okay.
[Raven transforms into her magical girl attire and superpowers in a transformation sequence.] 	[Raven transforms into her magical girl attire and superpowers in a transformation sequence.]
Slash 	Ah, so the rumors were true! You are a magical girl!
Raven 	That's right. And I'm not afraid to use it!
[Raven and Slash stare at each other in silence for a moment. Slash flings off his kimono, revealing that he wears cargo shorts and a T-shirt that reads "KILL SLASHER". He grips his blade, and then strikes, ending up behind Raven. She blinks in confusion and turns around to face him; he missed his mark. He attempts to strike her repeatedly, but she dodges each time.] 	[Raven and Slash stare at each other in silence for a moment.

Raven 	He's not as accurate as I imagined... but I still can't get close to him without getting sliced up.
Slash 	Grrrrrr... stop moving so I can slash you!
[Berrycream and Dark Shi run around the corner, panting for breath. They both look concerned.] 	[Berrycream and Dark Shi run around the corner, panting for breath. They both look concerned.]
Berrycream 	Here's where she went!
Dark Shi 	And she's fighting Slash!
Berrycream and Dark Shi 	Raven! Be careful! You're in a sword fight!
Raven 	A sword fight... Oh, yeah! A sword fight!
[In another transformation sequence, Raven changes her magic wand into a flaming sword.] 	[In another transformation sequence, Raven changes her magic wand into a flaming sword.]
Raven 	Now it's even!
Slash 	Fighting fire with fire, eh? Well, let's see you dodge... thiiiiiiis!
[Slash teleports into the air and lunges at Raven. They lock blades.] 	[Slash teleports into the air and lunges at Raven. They lock blades.]
Slash 	Ha! Looks like you couldn't dodge this time!
Raven 	Wasn't planning on it.
[Raven musters up all of her strength and Slash gasps in surprise. In silhouette, we see Raven slice Slash's sword in half, causing it to spew blood. Both Slash and his sword land on the ground, battered and beaten.] 	[Raven musters up all of her strength and Slash gasps in surprise.

Berrycream and Dark Shi 	Yay, woohoo! Yeah! Let's go, Raven! Yes! Yeah!
Slash 	[groans] Looks like you've defeated me... Little Miss Popular... I suppose you're wondering why I was bullying you...
Raven 	Honestly not really-
[Slash cuts her off. As he talks, we see a flashback illustrating his explanation.] 	[Slash cuts her off. As he talks, we see a flashback illustrating his explanation.]
Slash 	It all started when I created the Afterschool Blades Club, a place for students to hone their skill in different types of blade-based attacks and combat. However, it seemed that kids these days have no interest in the way of the bwade. I was all alone.
[In his flashback, Slash spots a flyer reading "424".] 	[In his flashback, Slash spots a flyer reading "424".]
Slash 	I decided, in order to fill my empty heart, I joined another club of individuals who have seemed to guide me down the wrong path.
[End flashback. Slash is bowing in apology to Raven.] 	[End flashback. Slash is bowing in apology to Raven.]
Slash 	I suppose I must have seemed pretty mean. I apologize. Gomen nasai. [Note: "Gomen nasai" is an informal "I'm sorry" in Japanese.]
Raven 	Ohhhh... so you were just lonely?
Slash 	Yes...
Raven 	All alone?
Slash 	[embarrassed] Yes...
Raven 	...No friends?
Slash 	[curtly] Yes.
[Raven thinks it over for a moment.] 	[Raven thinks it over for a moment.]
Raven 	...How about I join the Afterschool Blades Club?
Slash 	[surprised] What? Even after all those mean things I did to you?
Raven 	Sure! I could tell you didn't mean all those things. Besides, the sword-fighting thing is pretty fun.
Slash 	Wait, you mean to tell me you've never clashed blades before?
[Raven, Berrycream, and Dark Shi all laugh at Slash's question. The scene fades to black, and then fades back in to a door that reads "Room 424". Slash cuts down the top half of the door, then climbs over the bottom half. We see the club leader, shrouded in silhouette except for his glinting glasses.] 	[Raven, Berrycream, and Dark Shi all laugh at Slash's question.

Club Leader 	Well, Isaiah? Did you manage to defeat her?
Slash 	No, I didn't. And I don't plan on doing so. I quit this stupid club! I blade you... forewell.
[Slash drops his sword and turns to exit the room.] 	[Slash drops his sword and turns to exit the room.]
Club Leader 	As expected, Isaiah "Slash" Gonzales could not live up to his promise. No matter. There are... others who can fulfill my wish.
[Close-up on the club leader's glasses. As he speaks, the camera pulls back to the doorway.] 	[Close-up on the club leader's glasses. As he speaks, the camera pulls back to the doorway.]
Club Leader 	We will become the most popular club in the school, and ensure the perfect, perfect school year for the Room 424 World Domination Club.
[The door closes. Fade to black, and the credits begin. During the credits sequence, additional scenes are shown: Slash mourns his sword and holds a funeral for it, but he is overjoyed when it wakes up from its deathbed. The two of them hug and dance with each other.] 	[The door closes. Fade to black, and the credits begin.
