Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I don't ownMew Mew Power etc
A young girl of about six ran around the room excitedly waving ribbons before beginning her gymnastics performance amusing her mother, Elena, who was seated on a plush burgundy colored chair
"Yazmin I need you to listen to me carefully" she said
Yazmin looked at Elena to show that she was paying attention but still swirled the ribbons around
"I've left around 6 notes hidden around this house and around the house in Tokyo; these notes will help you when you're older and I've left some things too, can you keep this a secret?"
"Uh-huh!" Yazmin nodded excitedly and danced around the room swirling the ribbons as she went until she stopped and looked at Elena seriously "There's something wrong isn't there?"
"You are too clever for your own good" Elena commented smiling softly "But yes, yes there is"
She beckoned Yazmin forward and whispered into her ear "There is this evil…man who wants to so many terrible things but he is strong but not that strong right now but in order to get stronger he needs me"
"Oh" Yazmin said softly as Elena carried on
"He has been following me for a very long time now and I just know he'll take me away today"
Yazmin gasped in horror "I won't let the evil meanie! I'll protect you mommy!"
Elena laughed gently brushing Yazmin's fringe out of the way
"I'm afraid he's too strong for you, he'll definitely take me away today, I might not come back until you are a lot older and when you understand or might not come back at all"
"But I don't want you to go!" Yazmin cried sobbing clinging onto her mother and after Elena had soothed her and calmed her down she fastened a necklace with a tear shaped glowing blue pendant around Yazmin's neck "Take good care of this and I'll try and come back"
Yazmin looked like she was about to say something but the room unexpectedly went ablaze and through their smoky vision they saw a chimera like animal on fire snaking itself into the room making the fire burn brighter
"Yazmin get behind me!" Elena coughed as Yazmin dived behind her. Yazmin could breathe fine because of the pendant but she didn't understand what was going on but felt her arm being burned and screamed before putting it out
"Yazmin hide and keep quiet!" Elena whispered and Yazmin ducked behind the Sofa and crouched
The fire dimmed and out of nowhere a tall man with paper white skin, piercing icy blue eyes and extremely long black hair appeared smirking and Yazmin peeped of the side of the sofa to see but hid again
"Deep Blue" Elena hissed
"Elena, how nice to see you again, I presume you are well"
"No thanks to you"
"Now, now Elena, that isn't nice"
Elena just sneered and Yazmin had never heard her mother so angry
"Are you going to come peacefully or do I have to bring you by force?"
"I'll go peacefully" Elena said standing next to Deep Blue and Yazmin wanted to cry out but she knew she had to keep silent "but know this, Deep Blue, my daughter will defeat you!"
Deep Blue seemed amused "Ah yes, I've heard many things about your fiery daughter Yazmin. So full of fighting spirit, life, strength and power, yes I think I will wait until the time is right"
Elena glared and thought "He's not doing anything to my daughter!"
Elena breathed in deeply and looked at Yazmin directly and smiled before mouthing "I love you" and placing each hand on her own opposite shoulders and concentrating as tears, glowing blue, rolled down her cheeks and her body began to glow
"Elena what are you doing?!" Deep Blue hissed
Elena opened her eyes which were glowing completely blue and spoke "What I should have done before"
With a scream she flung out her arms and blue light gushed from her body and washed over everything destroying the chimera animal and when the light had cleared Elena and Deep Blue had gone
Tears welled up in Yazmin's eyes and heard the approaching sirens of an ambulance and a fire-truck as she hit the floor and fell unconscious
After she'd recovered they told her the hole room was blackened by the fire except for where she lay and her impression was still there, stark in contrast to the blackened room
Years later
Yazmin opened her eyes and looked at her cousin Estelle
"It isn't the end of the world" Estelle said in a calm voice brushing back her own dark brown fringe
"It is!"
"Look Yaz, what you need is to be your own person, don't be a people pleaser, If you keep lingering on the past you can't move on with the future, come on I'm taking you shopping"
"Ooh, for what type of books?"
"Not for book shopping, for clothes shopping"
"I don't wanna go shopping"
"Too bad, you're coming"
"I don't need anything though"
"Do you want to get cheered up or not?"
"Yes" she muttered resentfully
"Then show everyone what they're missing"
"All I have is brains and strength"
"You have a lot more than brains and strength, you just need to wear different clothes and do something about your hair"
"Like?"
"I don't know, put streaks in it?"
"Good idea"
"What colour do you want?"
"Red"
"Yes, I can see it now" Estelle grinned imagining it "Now what style do you like? Punk, Goth, Skater?"
"I like all the black and the lace but-"
"Goth it is" Estelle declared twirling around the room to Yazmin where she grabbed her wrist and dragged her downstairs
"Let's go!"
Yazmin came down wearing an aqua blue tank top, black jeans and a pair of black knee high boots
"So how's your first week in Japan been?" Estelle asked
"It's been great apart from the fact that you burnt all of my clothes so I have to wear these new ones" Yazmin grumbled while Estelle just smiled sweetly
"I'm going out" she muttered grabbing her purse
"Great, don't talk to strangers, stay out of the alley ways and be back by 10" Estelle called as Yazmin left
"Yes mum" she said sarcastically as she left and began walking down the street to her favourite café: Café Mew Mew
She took a shortcut that passed through a park humming a happy melody until she saw a flash of grey and a yell of attack before she was sent spinning to the ground
In the midst of pain, Yazmin opened her eyes to see a guy with green hair and two daggers floating in mid-air with a monstrous Squirrel floating behind him
"Sorry about this Kitten" it smirked "But Deep Blue's orders must be obeyed; it's a shame that you're cute"
Yazmin could barely move but deep down she knew she had to but luckily a pair of strong warm arms ran in and scooped her up and took her to safety while more voices started yelling and huge explosions could be heard- more people had entered the scene
She felt herself being laid down on the ground very gently and a voice spoke "Yazmin, are you alright?"
She opened her eyes to see a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes leaning over her, his expression etched with concern ""
"Who are you? She asked
"Never mind that are you alright?"
"Yes I'm fine thanks"
He pressed a pendant into her hand saying "You know what to do" and with that he took of running leaving her a little bemused but she couldn't linger on her thoughts because with a roar the creature lumbered towards her
"You know what to do"
"Power Pendant activate! Mew-tamorphasis!" she yelled. She didn't know where the words came from but deep down she knew they were the right ones and was enveloped in a ball of light whilst being raised into the air and wrapped in ribbon like things that had appeared out of nowhere
When she emerged her hair was still black but it had so many white streaks that it looked striped and it was in her normal style, in other words: left loose
Her normally dark eyes had turned to a silvery white but had a darker border so that you could the difference from the rest of her eye
Her clothes had changed too, she now wore a white and black Tiger striped sleeveless top and puffy skirt that stopped an inch above her thigh with the same black and white Tiger striped pattern and same patterned knee length boots. She also had Tiger striped white and black fingerless gloves that stop just under her shoulder, she had the tail and ears of a Siberian Tiger and a Sword strapped to her back in a black case criss-crossed with white
"Who are you?" the green haired creepy seemed shocked
"I'm Mew Spice!" she yelled "And I'm gonna whoop your butt into the next century!"
"Attack!" He ordered the weird creature and it lunged at her but she back-flipped high into the air and landed on a branch in a Tree
His shock had increased when she did that and she whipped out her sword from its case yelling "Sword Slash!" and slicing it through the air
The effect was astonishing as white and black waves seemed to ripple from the air that she'd slashed and attacked the creature slicing it into bits before it disintegrated leaving a confused Squirrel and a weird Jellyfish thing and the guy seemed shocked but covered it up with a smirk
"A new Mew Mew huh? Well I guess I'll just have to defeat you too"
"In your dreams" she retorted
"I'd love to stay and chat but I can't, I'll see you around Kitty" he smirked before disappearing
Mew Spice sheathed her sword before accidentally powering down back into Yazmin as a fluffy ball of fur floated in and swallowed the Jellyfish thing whole and the Squirrel scampered off
"Okay that was weird" she commented as she turned round to see five girls standing there with a mixture of awe and shock on their face all dressed in outfits that somewhat resembled her Mew Spice outfit
"You're the sixth Mew Mew!" The red headed girl gasped
