Tentacle Time
Before the year starts, Nagisa stumbles across something that will change his life: Tentacles! Will follow canon mostly, but be prepared for dark, pervy and hilarious subject matter. KayoNagi, other couples to be decided later.
This story is being co-developed by DragonReaperKing,
Chapter 1: Opportunity time
Nagisa Shiota was not an average boy by any means: he was short for his age of 13, had blue hair, a weak frame, did not seem gifted in any matter despite being in the top school in Japan…the list was a long one. If anything, the most noteworthy thing about him was his girly appearance.
It was certainly something his mother Hiromi never let him forget; making keep his hair long so she could braid and comb it however she pleased, forcing him to wear a dress and act like her pretty perfect princess…and if he ever slipped up in that act, she'd make him regret it with a terrifying lecture/growl over how he didn't know anything and should've been born a girl like she wanted.
One might ask why Nagisa didn't run away from her to live with his father. He actually had tried to the day his parents separated, but a chair to the head had ended that. An act she had somehow pinned on his father in the eyes of the neighbors and some police officers who had noticed how lovely she was for a mother.
And, like many in abusive relationships, Nagisa would give the same answer: When things were good, they were REALLY good. His mother cooked him wonderful meals, acknowledged he existed (unlike at school ever since his best/only friend was suspended) and provided he studied, allowed him to follow his interests. Heck, when she had the time she tried to help him…if only so that if he ever acted out of place, she could mix in some guilt-tripping into her rants.
It was like his father said, when she got into those moods it was best to just do as she demanded. That way, everyone won and she didn't flip out.
But that wouldn't do him much good now: On his way home from school this day, Nagisa had been jumped by Terasaka, Yoshida and Muramatsu, the class bullies. They'd made him do their homework. Then some of the students from the Main Buliding came along and mocked him from being sent to Class-E on the mountain. And THEN a perverted old man who didn't believe he was a boy had stalked him alongside some of the aforementioned students.
As was expected to anyone in this situation, the boy had done the most reasonable choice of action and run as fast and as far as he could with his pitiful frame.
It had taken a full hour to lose the crowd chasing him, and then it had occurred to Nagisa that he had run so fast he had no idea where he was. And it was getting dark.
"This day could not possibly get any worse." He sighed.
Just then, the ground shook slightly, and Nagisa spied an explosion a couple of minutes away. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something that would shake him to the core for many years to come:
The Moon suddenly went from full to a Crescent.
"I retract my previous statement." Nagisa said quietly.
How many natural disasters would be caused be this? WHAT had caused this? HOW? WHY? These and many other questions raced through the boy's brain before suddenly, the ground shook again, from the sight of the previous explosion .Nagisa turned in time to see something leave the spot and zoom up skywards. He squinted his eyes to try and get a better look, but couldn't make anything out.
Now, as hard as it may be to believe, in spite of everything the was bad in his life, Nagisa was, at the end of the day, a nice guy. Quiet and unassuming yes, but nice. He wouldn't wish horrible harm on anyone and felt a need to help out whenever he could. So when it became apparent to him he was apparently the only one who saw the explosion, he decided to make his way over
As he made his way to the spot, ignoring the shocked crowds of people seeing the moon gone, the boy pulled out his phone and dialled a number.
"Karma?"
"Yeah, Nagisa? What's up?" A normally relaxed and snarky voice asked. "Are seeing this?"
"I actually saw it. Listen, if my mom calls, lie and say I'm staying the night at your place."
"…Nagisa, did you get in trouble again?" Karma asked, with the bluenette immediately visualizing a smirk on his face.
"Um…yeah." The boy admitted.
"Bullies or pervs?"
"Both."
"Yeesh, you are hopeless without me, huh?"
"Well, just two more weeks." Nagisa pointed out. "So…can you?"
"Sure, buddy." Karma smiled. "We still up for that movie next Friday?"
"As long as 'She who must be obeyed's' schedule doesn't change."
"Hey, where are you? My dad and I can come pick you up."
"Once I figure that out, I'll let you know." Nagisa sighed as he began struggling up a hill that brought him closer to the explosion site. "Talk to you later."
"Later, buddy."
The call ended and Nagisa let out a sigh at the distance he still had to go.
"And suddenly, having classes on a mountain pays off."
AC
It took Nagisa half an hour to reach the sight of the explosion. The once tall building, which he'd never seen before, was now little more than an outline with destruction and rubble within.
There were papers scattered everywhere, and none of them filled Nagisa with a sense of calm:
Human body charts, some with lines pointing to veins or showing unnaturally long body parts, complex equations and formulas….some of the papers were stained in blood. Luckily, Nagisa did not find any bodies.
"Well, at least I checked." He mused before he felt and heard something roll nearby him. Looking down, he saw a vial of some fluid. Giving the area a quick look around, he picked it up to have a better look.
Nagisa wasn't sure why, but the fluid inside both intrigued him and made him wary. Far more than whenever his mother was around.
The glint of a computer screen next grabbed his attention, and Nagisa then glanced over to the computer and quickly scanned the contents:
From the notes of Kotarō Yanagisawa:
As part of our project to develop a new source of energy with Anti-Matter within humans, therefore hopefully creating stronger and smarter beings, we used the subject G.O.D as the guinea pig of our tests to see if the human body can even hold and harness the energy.
For the sake of anyone reading this who may not be as intellectual gifted as myself and my colleges, or whoever is taking over, allow a brief explanation/ reminder:
Antimatter is formed of antiparticles which have the same mass as particles but with opposite charge. For example while a proton has a positive charge, an antiproton has a negative charge, and while an electron has a negative charge, a positron (antiparticle of electron) has a positive charge.
Like how an electron and a proton form a Hydrogen atom, an antiproton and a positron can form an Antihydrogen atom. Antimatter in form of anti-atoms is extremely difficult to produce, but anti-particles can be produced by particles accelerators. If antimatter and matter encounter each other, both will be annihilated and there will be energy given out during the process in accord with the equation E = mc2.
Now for what we learnt:
Anti-Matter injected into the human body has yielded extraordinary results: increased elasticity with the human cells and the development of tentacles. These tentacles are impossibly strong and nearly indestructible, granting the wielder a potentially impenetrable defense. Test results show that only one material, not unlike rubber, can damage them, although in the case of the subject, regeneration from remaining cells is possible.
The Anti-Matter also seems to boost strength both mentally and physically, and give incredible speed. Had things gone better, we would've done a before and after analysis of the subject before and after the injection.
However, in mass doses the anti-matter proves to be too volatile for an orbital body to contain for more than a year at the most, as the destruction of the moon via mouse with anti-matter in its body shows. This is also due to the cell division eventually stopping after a certain duration.
For the sake of the world, subject G.O.D will be eliminated, lest he destroy the earth.
Nagisa took another look at the fluid and went over what he'd read.
If what this Kotarō Yanagisawa wrote was true, there was a good chance this little vial could help him out. He'd be smarter, stronger, faster…
But what about the planet? He mused. Then he realized that this was only one vial, the subjects had had far more in their bodies! And it obviously didn't kill them getting Anti-Matter in.
It was almost like a sci-fi movie or manga…..and this was real life. He couldn't….
But then again, what did he have to loose?
"I don't know about this G.O.D…" Nagisa said to himself. "But…maybe just a little bit…."
He couldn't see any other samples of this stuff; or any needles that he knew could be safe. It went against his better judgement, but Nagisa took off the top of the vial and took a tiny sip of what was inside.
It tasted awful, and he slipped the vial into his jacket and dashed away before anyone else saw him. He'd make his way back into town, call Karma and then spend the night with the Akabane's.
The blue haired boy had been in such a hurry to leave, he had failed to notice three sets eyes watching him….
Read and Review, would ye kindly?
Please offer suggestions on where to take the story from here, but know this; for at least until Assassination Island, I plan on having Nagisa trying to keep his tentacles a secret from the majority of the cast.
Have a good one and happy holidays!
