Beginning of ARC 3
On a run-and-hunt session...
Three angry girls halt to catch a breath after rounds of chasing Rin. They tripped on random ropes tied to cornstalks, fell into excavated holes and got stuck in sticky traps waiting for someone to come and fall in them.
"WE'LL GET YOU AND YOU'LL BE SORRY ! ! !" All of them holler.
"Darn, she ran way ahead of us *pant ...* How can she do that to her? She knew how innocent Olivia is compared to her. I'll make her drink a WHOLE pitcher of bitter vegetable juice in one sitting when we catch her!" Lenka gasps in anger as she grows worn out from sprinting with the weight of her excess baggages.
"Ouch, my aching feet! When I get my hands on her, I'll pull every single strand of hair on her head for this!" Neru complains, full of spite and with grudge since she had to sprint using high-heeled boots.
"Uggh! You have really gone too far this time, Rin!" Miku utters with annoyance whilst holding her chest, scowling at the direction where the menacing short-haired blonde ran off to.
On another run-and-hunt session...
"WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON ALL OF YOU, I'LL BLIND AND CRIPPLE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU FOR RAPING HER IN YOUR BLASTED, FILTHY MINDS ! ! !" Four escapees trying to evade punishment lost the trail of an enraged, about-to-murder silveret. The fear-stricken and panicking boys took cover in an unused shed located somewhere in the wide open fields of the Kagamine's enormous land.
"F**k**g shit! Why do we have to run too, Len? It is Mikuo and Nero who initially stared at her! Why don't we just hand them over and get this over with?" Rinto fusses as he hurriedly barred the doorway entrance of their hiding place in the metals workshop vicinity that used to belong to the Hatsune children's grandfather which is located amongst the enormous fields.
"HEY! ! !" They both immediately protest becoming extremely pissed.
"Don't try to get your hands clean and blame it all on us. You watched it too, you know!" Nero provokes irritably.
"Yeah! And you certainly enjoyed it WAAAY even more than we did, too!" Mikuo peeves and points to the hand phone with the video camera feature still rolling in his hands.
"Holy shit!" Rinto states in shock when he had completely forgotten having possession of the strawberry blond's elder sister's gadgetry.
"What were you doing with it? Taping your junk whilst 'preoccupying' in the outhouse? Your being obsequious is just an outer appearance for you are REALLY SUCH A FRIGGING HYPOCRITE ! ! !" The mocking tealet riles, backing up his younger ally.
"THE F**K ! ! ! ? I'LL BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUTTA YOU ! ! ! YOU FREAKING RETARD ! ! !" The golden-haired boy indignantly rebukes in disgust then he angrily pounces on the insulting tealet to teach him a lesson and hurls a number of strikes at him.
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT WE'RE THE ONLY ONES AT FAULT HERE, RINTO! AND I THOUGHT YOU SAID I'M YOUR BESTFRIEND!" retorts the only 15-year-old amongst the four. He angrily kicked him off the assaulted tealet.
"I HAVE MORE THAN HALF THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THIS TOWN AS MY BEST FRIENDS UNLIKE YOU AND COMPARED TO ANY OF YOU ! ! !" Rinto resounds angrily after having lost all of his patience.
"SHUT THE F**K UP YOU SHITFORBRAINS! I'M TRYING TO THINK ! ! !" Len bellows appearing extremely agitated, rattled and vexed, all at the same time.
As he orated those anger-filled words, tiny icy shards emit off his body as the previous ominous aura that was felt earlier is felt even much stronger.
Thus, making him an even much more fearsome being than the hysterical silveret hunting them.
O_ _O...
O_ _O...
O_ _O...
Silence fills the surroundings around the four.
With eyes wide open, the three shocked and trembled boys stare at the one with light blond hair with the glowing pale blue highlights. While being completely overwhelmed, Len, himself, was extremely shocked at his own monstrous reaction.
"D-Damn i.. i-it...…W.. W-What's h-happening…t.. t-to a-all o-of u..us..."
He stammers regretfully and mutters very silently whilst his eyes dampen and moisten with the sudden obtained shock.
He bites his lower lip as hard as he can to halt the tears from plummeting.
He did so with a great amount of fortitude but a single sniffle still escapes and is heard amongst the silence.
Upon hearing, the other three boys came back to their senses when they notice him quivering and struggling desperately to recover from the shock.
They forgot their earlier hatred towards one another and approach the grief-stricken boy to try making amends for their previous misdeeds and shortcomings.
"Hey bro... we..." Rinto mutters shamefully whilst patting him gently on the back.
The golden-haired boy pities and at the same time, feels so much concern over his trembling cousin.
"We're not... we didn't meant to..." Nero apologetically utters to say something helpful to make him become calm but finds himself quite out of speeches.
He glances at Rinto, who glances back, and find the same worried look he believes he has on himself.
Then unexpectedly, the overwhelmed feels his elderly brother-like figure wrap his arms around him, carefully uttering, "It's ok bro... It's ok. Heck! We're not scared by that all. And, we know you didn't really mean it. We're sorry too." the tealet consoles him gently. He closes his eyes in tranquility.
Then after saying those words and a 3-second pause, he instantly breaks the embrace with a twitch of a finger when he felt it became awkward.
"*~Ahem~* So be alright now! Ok? You're the only one who can match the hysterical one out there who is also in need to be reminded to return back to his senses. Understand?" The oldest in the group adds in support.
Rubbing his eyes with his marked arm which covered them, the light blond with the glowing pale blue highlights nods in silence.
Whilst the three are busy consoling their agonized friend, a silveret in stealth most silently withdraws his fourteen blades until they all disappear.
Remembering what Len mentioned about his abilities earlier, he avoids hiding in the shadows since he can see in them and conceals in a well-lit room next to a wall where they were having their argument.
"So this is...
'the immense ominous aura that makes one sense a suffocating feeling of boundless danger'
...…
Len is seriously someone not to be taken lightly when opposed." He fiercely utters to himself quoting Miku's previous words.
He is previously there before they are, anticipating to attack but is touched when he discreetly spies on them and listen to their conversation unintentionally. He, then, resolves to lend a helping hand and help them out. He devices a method to make Len feel better.
'According to Len, he needs to use his abilities from time to time like normal people need air to breathe. Well then, all he needs to do is ward off some steam and use those abilities without he did, he shall feel much complacent afterwards and be himself again.' He grins mischievously.
He then sneaks back outside the workshop silently through a hole in the wall that he severed earlier.
With a smirk, fourteen tiny orbs materialize around him. The orbs lengthen and all his blades appear again whilst he stands outside at the metals workshop building.
Staring, his heterochromia iridum eyes gleam upon excitement.
Back in the flower farm... ._ _.
. . . . . . . . .
*Blink*
*blink*
"Umm...
Hello!?" Olivia utters
as she stands there,
left all alone
and approximately starkers.
...
Nothing but dead silence replies
not even crickets.
._ _. "
Thoughtfully, "Oh well, I guess it can't be helped. Let's just wait a bit for everyone to come back then. Snakey and SP babies, here! Eat some yummy treats!" she offers them the cookies that Rin baked.
She sits Athrylith beside the other four SP progenies that were left behind by their mothers along with their journals on the picnic mat.
She takes some cookies which she picks from the tray that Rin has left behind. And then, she places a piece each in front of the pet and the SP progenies.
"Hm? What's this?" She catches sight of Rin's smartphone with the video camera activated. She giggles and waves to it innocently.
"Oh Rin, you and your pranks." She remarks smiling. She leaves it alone to where it is standing then turns to the picnic mat.
"Huh? Why Snakey, Sp babies?" She queries in disappointment when she discovers that the cookies aren't touched.
The pet and four of the SP progenies seem to look unhappy.
Olivia also notices that Athrylith, Joyance, Prince, Veilchenblau and Snakey shiver and turn somewhat pale.
Only the cookie in front of the SP progeny Winner is gone. A shade of light pink shines from her, signifying that she's feeling proud.
"I guess Rin is right when she told me that not everyone likes them." She mumbles to herself.
She checks the time on the wristwatch that is fastened on the large basket's handle and then writes an entry in her journal. She also writes and sticks post-it notes on each of the other pairs' journals of the occurrence. She takes the cookies away and places them back on the tray beside the basket. After that, she takes 6 small cups out of the basket and a thermos of warm milk. She pours and offers them to the unhappy bunch. Winner drinks all the contents of the cup faster than the rest and glows even rosier.
"That's a good girl. You're just like your mommy, so playfully competitive." Olivia compliments her. ^_ _^
She takes notice of the buttons that used to be on the mangled and ripped vest that that she is wearing. They are scattered on the ground a few paces away. Olivia then decides to collect them. Whilst she stands to do so
and after just taking a few steps,
the crumbled and torn shirt & vest
that covered her falls to the ground.
[~*~wow~*~ (sound effect)]
._ _. ?
"Huh?" She mutters upon noticing. Olivia looks down and picks them up naturally.
As she lifts the poor-conditioned shirt up, she notices a stray strand of black string originating from it. Following the thread, it leads her back to the picnic mat. It ends upright under and behind the SP child of the menacing pair.
"Just like your parents, quite a prankster too!" She chuckles, not offended by the innocent antic.
Athrylith springs furiously and glints a seemingly angry shade of red then he visibly shoves Winner off the picnic mat.
"Athrylith! Don't do that! You're bigger than Winner. And you should be kind and gentle to girls." Olivia scolds her SP son.
She picks Winner up from her landing place, dusts the dirt of her and places her back on the mat with the other SP progenies. When Olivia is away from the picnic mat and gathering buttons, "Pfffffft!" the sound of someone who just stick out her tongue with the comic sound effect is heard.
It is Winner who appears to be taunting Athrylith.
Olivia didn't hear it since she is busy and a little bit far from them.
Enraged, Athrylith bounces up and once again shoves Winner off the picnic mat. Winner is thrown flying three meters away from the mat.
"I saw that! And just for that, no dessert for you tonight!" Olivia scolds Athrylith again and then hurriedly picks the thrown SP progeny and places her gently on the opposite side of the mat.
"I'm sorry about that, sweetie. I shall give you his dessert tonight for doing that to you. There, there, don't cry." She cheers her up, gently patting and wiping the appearing moisture off her. The moisture that appears from thin air seem to resemble tears. When Olivia looks away, Winner looks as if she is snickering.
Appearing to have turned even redder, Athrylith hops and hops in rage in front of Olivia until it annoyed her.
"What's the matter with you?" Frowning at his misbehavior, she asks him with a stern tone.
Then she notices Athrylith springs towards the massively torn, wretched-conditioned shirt and scraps of the ripped vest which he pushes in front of her. Olivia looks at it closely then a sad expression appears on her face as she slowly lifts the shreds of cloth up.
"Oh I see... I understand now." She says unhappily whilst staring at the black shirt in her hands examining it very sadly. Slowly, she presses it against her chest, embracing it. Whilst her emotions move and stir her, a tear drops on the black shirt.
Suddenly, an idea pops in her mind. Not giving in to depression, Olivia suddenly thought of a brilliant solution. She joyfully lifts Athrylith up in her arms and gives him a loving hug and kiss. Then she places him back with the other SP progenies.
She takes out a thick blanket out of Rin's basket and places it on the mat. Then she gently sits each bundle of joy on it so that they will be comfortable.
"Snakey, please guard Athrylith and his friends since no one else will be around. I need to go somewhere at the moment. Ok?" She instructs the pet to look after them whilst she is planning to be away for at least half an hour.
The pet nods and follows her command obediently then it positions itself coiling around the mat guarding the little ones on it.
With that said, Olivia heads to the Hatsugamine residences bringing with her the torn black shirt, tattered vest with its buttons and a few pieces of her own torn ensemble.
