Tokyo Mew Mew
The Shadow Demons
Chapter one: An Old Friend Returns
Zoey Hanson stood outside the train station with her Boyfriend Mark Aoyama while waiting for her train to arrive. She didn't really want to leave Mark but he told her that he still had some research to do and she had to head back to Tokyo for the rest of the summer. He promised that he would be back before the school year started so they would be able to hang out again before the summer break was over, but Zoey wasn't sure. Mark had seemed distracted a lot recently which was one of the reasons she was going back home.
She wasn't sure but she had been feeling like there was something wrong, despite the fact that Berry, who was the leader of the Mew Mews when she was gone, kept telling her that there wasn't anything going on.
"Zoey are you sure about this?" asked Mark as they waited. "I mean what if you're attacked while on the train? The others won't be there to help you and neither will I."
"That's true Mark but there isn't anything you can really do now that you don't have the Blue Knight's power anymore." said Zoey
"Yeah I hate that."
"So do I Aoyama-kun." said Zoey as the train pulled in "So do I."
"This is it. I'll see you soon." said Mark as his girlfriend walked onto the train. "I love you."
"I love you too."
Berry walked down the street with her boyfriend Tasuku and her other four friends to the train station where they were going to meet Zoey. She had to admit that she was glad the Zoey was finally coming back to the city. Berry didn't really like leading the Mew Mews. That was Zoey's thing since she was the first Mew Mew. However the feeling that she had been getting all summer since Zoey left to visit some friends in another district, started to get worse and worse as they walked closer to the train station.
"Hey Berry you okay?" asked Tasuku.
"Yeah I'm just worried." said Berry
"I wouldn't worry about it." said Renee. "Zoey has been keeping look out in Juban district where she went and didn't see anything. It's the same as us."
"Yeah I know but I'm still worried. I can't really explain it." said Berry.
"I know the feeling." said Renee as they continued to walk
Suddenly there was a blast at the train station and the girls all saw Mew Ichigo standing there with someone that looked very familiar. The problem was that the guy wasn't moving and Mew Ichigo was trying to protect him and herself at the same time.
"Girls let's go!" shouted Berry and the five of them transformed into their Mew Mew forms.
"I'll check the trains." said Tasuku as they jumped up to where Ichigo was.
"Need a hand Ichigo?" asked Zakuro
"Zakuro guys! I'm glad you're here."
"Ichigo is that-?" Mint started
"Yeah it is he was fighting this thing when he crashed into the train." said Ichigo.
"What is he here for?" asked Pudding.
"Why don't we save the Q&A for later?" asked Berry
"Right." said the other five and they continued the battle. Suddenly there was a shrill laugh and the six Mew Mews saw who was really behind the attack.
"Who are you?!" asked Ichigo
"I am Hanuone." said the man and Ichigo gasped as if she knew of him. "And I am the one who will destroy you."
"It can't be." said Ichigo. "You were destroyed. She said they destroyed you."
"Yes well it seems the Starlights don't know much do they. I knew that I couldn't destroy the Juban sector of Tokyo however here was another story. That was until you brats came along."
"Well you have the Cyniclons to thank for that." said Mint.
"Yes I have already kindly paid my respects to them." he said as he pointed to the boy that was with Ichigo.
"What did you do to Dren and the others of his kind?!" asked Ichigo angrily.
"Ask him if he ever wakes up." said Hanuone. "Cyclone lets go."
"Hey Zoey what did you mean when you said he was supposed to have been destroyed?" asked Bridget once they had all got to the café and put Dren in the recovery room.
"Well a while back I got a call from my cousins who live in the Juban district. They said that they had seen the time when we were all on air after Renee joined us and they knew who it was about."
"How come?" asked Berry
"Because like us they're fighters." said Zoey. "It's a long story and one I promised I wouldn't say anything about."
"So what do we do now? What are these things that's been attacking?" asked Corina.
"I do know that they're called the Sahado Demons but that's it. Mark stayed behind to do some additional research on the matter." said Zoey. "But if what Hanuone said is true then Dren and his friends coming back maybe the least of our worries."
"Agreed." said Elliot walking up to them. "Zoey Wesley just went to check on Dren and he's awake. Since you and he know each other better than we do why do you talk to him about it?"
"Sure." said Zoey which surprised everyone there except for Elliot who for some reason was expecting something like that to happen.
"What's with her?" asked Corina after Zoey walked up to Dren's room. "I mean she's been acting different since she got back."
"Not to mention the reaction she had when Hanuone said that he paid his respects to Dren and his people." said Kiki.
"I have a feeling that she's hiding something." said Elliot. "And it has to do with Dren."
As Zoey walked up the stairs to where Dren was staying she thought about the shock she received on the train when he walked up to her and sat down beside her. She was reading a book when he reached across her book and laid something on top of it. It was part of a Blue Aqua that Elliot had given him to bring back their world. She looked up shocked but she just saw a regular guy until the demon attacked them. It was then that whatever Dren was doing to hide his true form melted away and revealed his true form. Yelling at the monster he attacked it but was soon out matched. Zoey knew that she had to help so she ran to the restroom and transformed.
As she jumped out on top of the train she sawn that Dren had been knocked out and that they were about to pull into the station. She also saw her five fellow Mew Mews and Berry's boyfriend walking to meet up with her. She knew she had to get their attention so she made a shield around Dren and herself as the monster attacked. Then she leaped onto the building that was when she was joined by the other Mew Mews and they found out the about Hanuone and the other demons.
Zoey pushed the door to Dren's room open and found that he was indeed awake. She smiled at him and he started to blush. She instantly felt guilty because it was widely known by both sides that Dren had once had a huge crush on Zoey. But after he realized how much she loved Mark he told her all he wanted was for her to be happy.
"Hey how are you feeling?" asked Zoey.
"Really lousy." said Dren "But I've had worse."
"I remember." said Zoey and she did she remembered the fight where Dren and Mark as the Blue Knight fought at the Christmas tree in Odaiba two Years ago. "Dren I need to know-"
"Why I'm here and why I was fighting Hanuone?"
"Yes."
"Because Hanuone destroyed what Sardon Tarb and I worked hard to restore on our planet and the rest of our people." said Dren and Zoey nodded. She had a feeling it was something like that.
"How many survived?" asked Zoey.
"Only five. Myself Sardon Tarb Asshur and Koah." said Dren. "The others are at an old building where we used to stay while looking for the Blue Aqua when we were here." then he tried to get up and would have fell had a guy that looked a lot like Mark when he was the Blue Knight but also someone else that she didn't want to think about flashed in and steadied him
"You need to rest Dren." said the stranger.
"Koah, this is Zoey, one of the Mew Mews." said Dren as Koah put him back on the bed.
"I see he found you." said Koah
"H-hai."
"Zoey Koah is Deep Blue's twin." said Dren as he sensed her confusion. "When he first told us that we didn't believe him either but there are things that Koah knows about Deep Blue that we didn't. believe me if we knew how evil he was the three of us wouldn't have fought for him."
"I believe you Dren. As a matter of fact that's why you're here. If we didn't trust you, we wouldn't have brought you back with us." said Zoey
"Thanks Zoey." said Dren.
"Anyway I need to let the others know that you're alright Dren." said Koah. Then he turned to Zoey "You know we're not all bad and maybe that one you're thinking about will come back."
"Uh…"
"You should bring your friends in here so that Dren can explain what's going on." said Koah then he flashed out of the room.
"Jerk. He's just like Deep Blue in some ways." said Dren "Mysterious and powerful. But he's right you should bring your friends up here."
"Alright. But I doubt he wants anything said about him." said Zoey.
"Yeah let's leave him out of it."
Zoey walked back to the café with her mind full of questions. Who was Koah really and why did he say that about the Blue Knight? Zoey did want Mark to have his powers again so that they could fight together and not have her boyfriend worry about her but she had also learned from experience that even without his power Mark would still try to protect her and that was what she was afraid of most.
