Leo Goes Wacko

Wesley watches as Persia leaps through the rainbow portal, which dissolves immediately afterward. "Yes!" TrailBlaiser cries out triumphantly. "A magical signature! Woo!" She quickly scans the magic residue, and her face falls. "What? What do you mean it's not identical to Persia's original?!" she screams at the computer. The other agents watch her bemusedly. "It has to be! I'm Agent freakin' TrailBlaiser! I'm in charge and I say it's identical!" The test runs negative again. "Son of a-!" she's cut off by an amused RiverFlyte, who puts his hand on her shoulder. 
"Let it go, TrailBlaiser. You have a realm signature, that's all we need. Now it's on database and you can stop spazzing out about it." he reasons. She clenches her fist tightly, activating her magic and melting the controls. Liquid metal drips to the floor in a shiny puddle. "Was that necessary?" TrailBlaiser storms off.
"I'm Agent TrailBlaiser! Everything I do is necessary!" She slams the door to the Elemental Commons. RiverFlyte hangs his head. 
"What was Aslan thinking? He picked her to be leader? She can't even keep her temper let alone be in charge of everyone else!" Sapphire remarks. 
"Yeah. But, as much as she talks and acts like she can take on the world, she can't bring herself to do it. She can hurl threats all day, but she never makes good on them. She's the leader because she's incorruptible. Aslan blessed her to always know right from wrong, even in the toughest situations. Whether she always listens is another thing." RiverFlyte explains. A loud crash resounds from the Commons, and a burst of red light follows. Shortly afterward, the fire alarm goes off and the sprinklers start, resulting in a few choice words from TrailBlaiser.
"Wow." Terrance observes. "She is mad." Wesleys smacks him over the head.
"Great observation, Sherlock." he groans. RiverFlyte opens the door, only to have a vase and a blast of fire shot at his head. He quickly shuts it, the tips of his hair singed.
"Um, Rabbitleap? I think you should go. Girl to girl?" he suggests. Rabbitleap nods, trying to hide a smile. As she enters, another crash follows.
"What?!" TrailBlaiser screeches from behind the door. They hear Rabbitleap say something inaudible. "I am not! I'm being completely rational!" Another crash. "You can just shut your face before I break it!" They hear a loud thud and RiverFlyte rushes in, throwing the doors open. TailBlaiser's lying on the floor, tied up in a blanket, struggling to free herself, her fire amulet tossed across the room. "Gimme that! It's mine!" she screeches. Her eyes blaze furiously, every trace of her sea-green eyes wiped out by flames. RiverFlyte picks the artifact up and puts it on a high shelf, just out of her reach. She struggles more, desperately trying to get it. "Mine! Mine! Septimus, as your superior officer, I command you to give me that amulet!" RiverFlyte watches her struggle.
"Sorry, but, according to Article Two in the Realm Traveler Code, 'any officer exhibiting malicious and/or detrimental behavior due to artifact exposure is to be separated from the artifact until the effects ware off.'" he quotes. "And for you, that might take a while."
