New story, just for fun.
I love all of you guys! Enjoy this story.
Oh, and this was beta-read by IcyNirvana. Yes, he's still around... I think.
I met my lovely master/friend quite a long time ago; well, long for you guys, short for me. Between now and then, A LOT has happened- too much actually. If I were to tell you how and what happened, it would seem incoherent, but eventually it comes together. I'll let the author tell you how this entire thing got to be...
Adira walked down the pearly white hallway of the hotel towards her room where Kaz rested in. "You know, we've only had a minor bump, but Tunut wa-" The door from her room was blasted off the hinges as a flood of black tentacles shot out the doorway, followed by a screaming man running out of the room. "Aey, spoke too soon-"
TOO FAR! Back it up by a lot! Get your shit together, man...
...Adira socked Kaz in the nose then slammed her fists on the metal interrogation table, "For the second time! What are you and where did you come from!?"...
No, back a bit. Go to when she walked in; that was a memorable moment for me.
Adira walked into the interrogation room where Kaz had been waiting for a good hour. As she walked in the room, Kaz looked at her and was about to speak but Adira grabbed him by the hair and smashed his head into the metal table. After she did that she stabbed Kaz's right hand with a knife; the blade going through his hand and into the table. "What are you and where did you come from!?"
Kaz smiled and watched the blood drip from his broken nose, "Shit, you're a rough one..." He glanced over to the knife that bound his hand to the table and gave out a low laugh that was between a grunt and a growl.
Adira wasn't amused at all, her fists clenched as Kaz merely smiled and looked down at the dented table. She looked at the one-way glass that covered half the wall and growled, telling everyone behind it that she was about to lose it. Kaz looked up at Adira and gave her a smug grin, pushing her patience. Adira socked Kaz in the nose then slammed her fists on the metal interrogation table, "For the second time! What are you and where did you come from!?"
Kaz lightly laughed and threw his head back, "Let me think back a few hours ago..." He thought of how he got 'caught' by Clearlan.
He sat in a decrepit hotel room that was mostly covered by the pulsating black things he called his mouths while eating his meal. Kaz was minding his own business and all of a sudden these schmucks kicked in the door, and one of them yelled: "Get on your knees!"
Kaz responded with, "I'm not your mother last night!" and they took exception to that. All seven heavily armored agents fired upon Kaz, ripping him to shreds as he stumbled backwards onto a wall, painting a trail of blood as he slowly slid down. They ceased fire and looked at Kaz's destroyed body that leaned against the wall. The agents all looked at each other, turned around and walked away, telling their mobile H.Q that the target was down. But they should've known how that song and dance goes. And for the next few minutes all the H.Q could hear over the radio was screaming, gun fire, and the sound of body parts hitting the ground.
Adira saw all her men get systematically killed as the blue dots that represented her men disappear off the monitor screen, but she wasn't terrified that whatever was inside was coming out- no, she was mad that whatever was inside had killed seven entire squads of her own men. She slammed open the H.Q's doors; which was a black van, and walked outside to the front doors of the hotel, waiting in front of the spotlight that came from the police cars behind her.
Kaz walked out covered in bullet holes and blood while his left hand was still regenerating; making it vaguely resembled a black, sharp and contorted hand. He smiled widely upon walking out of the hotel as all the agents and police officers that stood behind the cars aimed their guns at the monstrous looking man that the spotlights focused on. "You have some nerve to kill MY men then just walk out as if you were expecting a prize!"
Kaz turned his attention from the bright lights to the angered Blaziken that stood in front of him. He found it to be somewhat of a surprise that she would stand there, totally exposed with no weapons or armor, just her feathers and firsts. "Have I actually found someone worth my time? And this Pokémon speaks English!" Kaz walked towards her and took a good look at her, looking into her unwavering angered eyes and intricate flame patterns near her hands and feet. "No fear or hesitation of me, no matter how dangerous it could be, you just stare into my eyes." He analyzed Adira's every reaction, adoring how she hated his smug attitude.
Instead of talking to Kaz or asking for help she took thing into her own hands and punched Kaz down to the ground with such force that any other human would've died. "I'm not in the mood for your shit, I'll talk to you when I bring you in!" Adira handcuffed Kaz and dragged him into an armored truck that would bring him back to one of Clearlan's various station.
"Ah yes, I am a thing that defies all of your beliefs, I stand against all of your 'gods'." Kaz laughed as black tentacles came out from his hand and consumed the knife that was stuck in it.
Adira grabbed the metal chair next to her and was about flip shit, but just before she did a man came in the room and firmly grabbed her by the arm. "Your time is up, it's my turn." This extremely muscular and tall man sternly looked at Adira, grabbing her by the arm with some force. She yanked her arm out of his grip and groggily walked over to the door.
She looked at me then back at the man, '"You're gonna fucking regret this!" and slammed the door with such force that the one-way glass shook.
"Aww, but I like her better~" Kaz politely smiled and pulled his seat closer to the table. "You better be as entertaining as her." He closely watched the man take a seat on the table while getting an aggressive look from the man.
Adira kicked open the door of the observation room that looked into the other room Kaz was in, and she angrily demanded: "Where the hell is Reeds!?"
"In his office," an agent nonchalantly responded, drinking coffee.
The Blaziken growled and stomped out the room and down the halls to Reeds' office. In a true Adira fashion she slammed the door open and screamed, "REEDS!" even though he was right in front of her.
"Shut the fuck up! It's three in the morning and I have a pounding headache!" Reeds angrily scolded Adira, his head only getting worse with every second she stood in the room.
"You are SO stupid! Do you really think it's a good idea to put that dipshit in the same room with that thing! The only reason it came with us is because of me, so where in your fucking head did you think it's a good idea to take me away from it!" Adira walked towards Reeds while shouting at him. "I'm the only change we have to learn more about his species, to protect ourselves from them!"
SHUT! THE FUCK! UP!" Reeds screamed louder than Adira could ever imagine as he threw a wine bottle against the wall; the bottle shattering on contact. "I am your higher up! I make the decision around here!" He sighed and massaged his forehead, "You're my best agent, I don't want to lose you; once we know what the dangers are we can get to the information part... anyways, they're in the hot box; anything goes wrong and they all turn to ash."
Adira took deep breaths and sat down. "I'm gonna sit here and wait for the red lights to come on..." she calmly spoke.
Reeds shook his head, "it won't-"
"Wait." A second later red lights started flashing and sirens rang in every room of the building.
"Fuck."
Adira crossed her arms and smiled, putting her feet on Reeds desk. "I said so..."
They heard screaming down the hallways as heavily armored personnel ran passed the window of their door. Another guard came through the door and shouted, "Get out of here-" right before a black tentacle grabbed him by the leg and threw him down the hallway. Moments later a black flood spilled into the room; veins spreading in through the door and up the walls, sealing, and floor. A black viscous blob expanded into the room, knocking over chairs, plants, and even the door that blocked its path. Reeds screamed like a little girl when a 'face' came out. Three blue eyes and a disfigured mouth full of sharp teeth extended into what could be called a neck as two 'arms' grew from the main mass. "Where is she?!" It asked with a deep raspy growl.
Adira stood up from her chair and walked right up to its face, "You want me? I'm right here! Go ahead, make a mess of my base and kill my men!" She grabbed the monstrosity that was Kaz's true form by the neck, bringing herself face to face with it.
I didn't just kill them, I consumed them! You see, I need to keep myself working and alive." Adira felt Kaz's cold breath on her face as he chuckled. "Also, that guy tasted stale like bullshit, but it's fitting for a man that plays tough then squeals like a bitch!" Kaz looked into Adira's unfazed glare and ran his 'hand' down her cheek, "…Are you playin' tough?"
Adira gave Kaz a straightforward answer by bitch slapping him so hard that half his face tore off. "Don't ever doubt me! Turn back into a normal person and clean the mess you've made! NOW!"
Kaz recoiled at first, then smiled, "As you wish..." The main black mass kneeled and turned back into Kaz's human form while the rest of the tentacles and veins that covered the walls retreated back. While the tentacles came back all the things that they'd knocked over were placed neatly back to their original spots. "Finally, someone I can respect." Kaz looked up at Adira as the black mess of tentacles, veins, and tendrils entered his body through a black gash on his back that soon became part of his clothes. "I offer my services, but I follow your order to a certain extent. Our relationship is one of master to beast; the master respect the beast's power, and the beast respects the master's authority," he set the guidelines for his service.
Frankly, Adira was taken back by such an offer; it's not an everyday occurrence to get such an offer. "Stand. No creature like you should kneel..." Kaz stood up and anxiously waited for her answer. "I... I accept, but why me?"
"I've lived for millions of years on this planet, but everyone I've met either ran away, or tried to kill me in fear. You are the first to stand face-to-face with me and treat me as if I was an equal. After freely running around for that long just consuming and destroying things I got bored... I wanted a master, to remember the good days of the past, but I found no one I could respect." Kaz smiled with delight while explaining his motives.
"C-can I, come out...?" Reeds interrupted, whimpering under his desk where he hid the entire time.
"Yea..." Adira sighed and watched him crawl out from under his desk.
Reeds cleared his throat and straightened his suit, gaining back his composure. "So is this the man that took out seven squads, the monster that kills for life?" Reeds looked at the casually dressed nappy-haired man that wore a black T-shirt, faded blue jeans, and light blue hoodie. He felt underwhelmed; Kaz wasn't tall, muscular, ragged, or mean looking... he looked too normal. "What will you do with that... thing?"
Adira looked at Kaz for a second and thought of what to do with the beast. "At any rate, I'll teach him how to act and feel human, which includes not killing people if they bore him. But for now I want a pizza; I'll be up 'till six writing a report of what happened today…" she groaned and walked out the doorway, stepping over the door. "And no killing!" she shouted from the hallway.
"I'm on it! Be back in a couple of minutes... and Reeds, nice choice of wine." Kaz walked out of Reeds office and jumped through a window, falling a good four stories.
Reeds sat back in his leather chair, kicked his feet up onto his desk, and gave a strained groan. He picked up a radio and spoke on all channels, "Code alpha: all personnel are to report back to their posts. Allow C-073 full access to the base; he is property of Adira. I repeat, do not interfere with C-073; he is property of the Blaziken bitch."…
Ah yes, I remember that day! Adira got really pissed when I told her I stole the pizza from the delivery guy, but I got the pizza without killing or hurting people, so I did exactly as she asked. Now that the important things are out of the way, I'll let the author write the rest of the story without my interruptions... well mostly. Continue, please...
It's been seven years since Kaz and Adira met on that fateful night. Since then, a lot has changed between them, but not as much has changed for them.
Kaz's phone rang, playing 'It's Showtime' from Undertale. "Yello!" He placed it on speaker, answering with a stuffed mouth.
"Is the target down- and what are you eating?" Adira spoked through the phone from her office.
"Yup, just having an after mission snack and playtime." Kaz casually mentioned, waving a disembodied arm while eating.
"Are you eating the fucking body?!" she shouted, making everyone out in the hallway look over into her office.
"What?! No! I'm eating a hot dog the guy had while playing with his arm. I don't do mouth to skin, only life." Kaz threw the arm up and caught it with his left hand, eating a hot dog with the other hand while sitting on an old leather recliner.
"Oh..." Adira gave a sigh of relief, sitting back on her office chair. She cleared her throat and fixed her feathers. "We have a few new missions- these ones are optional, come back to my office and we'll talk."
"Optional?" Questioned Kaz, being skeptical of the word 'optional' coming from Reeds.
"It's from me, Reeds let me choose a few cases to do." She pulled out a binder that had secondary written on it. "Reeds has been neglecting us..."
"True, we haven't gotten something big in a while." Kaz caught the arm and kept tossing it up and down, getting blood all over the floor and recliner. "But it depends... I'm not hungry or in need of life. I guess I could do some for fun." He stopped for a second and looked at the sealing, thinking of a most likely stupid question, "Hey... um, I know I was with you for like seven years, but what are we? I mean, what does Clearlan do exactly?" Kaz threw the arm backwards into the kitchen sink of the small apartment.
"Wha- what- I... really?" Adira tried to process such a common, but strange question. "Do you really not know?!"
"Nope."
Kaz heard a sigh through the phone, "We are global peacekeeping and defense organization that deals with anything from enemies of a region to the supernatural. We don't work like the military; we drive the people by jobs and skill groups. We are a high-class hybrid between an infiltrator and an assassin, even though it would normally be a squad of four or five highly trained operatives, I have you." Adira patiently explained the basics or their organization; things that Kaz should've known for a long time.
"Oh, so that's why everyone I killed tasted bitter and salty… Eh, never cared to ask, or even to pay much attention." He turned onto the news and placed a pillow behind his head. "I'll be back there in an hour, I'm going to relax for a bit." Kaz hung up and laid back on the recliner.
This was actually fun, I know this won't get any views, but that doesn't matter, I do this for fun and stress relief.
Hope you guys enjoy your holiday and have a happy new year. SEE YA!
