The night sky beamed its first stars. Everyone and thing was asleep, even the ghosts were asleep nowadays. But seven people remained awake. Two neko men, a bunny girl, a blind woman, a bird lady, a fingerless and toeless woman and a skeleton man, look down at a giant prison while standing on one of its walls, wearing 3D Maneuver Gear and dark, night blending clothes.
Then the blonde cat spoke. "This is the place." and they jumped down the wall.
FLASHBACK:
People moved slowly through chambers, metal cuffs on their ankles and wrists attached by heavy chains and iron collars draped on their necks. All of the slaves were weak with hunger and the children became ill with unnamed or unknown sicknesses. A few had even died from a body fluid contagious Human sickness, Ebola. But, a certain group of children had their own problems to worry about besides cuffs and collars and fevers. For they had dreamed they'd escape their prison some day and become great people.
Their names were Raiji (Rah-ee-jee), Takashiro (tah-kah-shee-roh), Shugo (shoo-goh), Ushizimo (oo-shee-zoo-moh) and Ryouichi (roh-ee-chee). They were born in the jail at different years, but Ushizumo was the second oldest but born last to Takashiro, who was born a few months before and blind like his mother, Shugo was one year older than Raiji and Ryouichi is three years older than Ushizumo. Apparently, this small stretch land was of a weird place called the Satonic Empire. They were only in the jail known as "Hell's Holocaust". In the past, the Empire was ruled by a female dictator called Demonica, but had been sent to a Mantel Prison in the center of the "Earth". (Later on in Fairy Hills)
"Don't be afraid, Raiji," her mother would say. "… We will be free again one day. It'll come soon." Raiji looked up at her mother with big golden eyes. "You promise mommy?" she squeaked. Raiji wore a torn shirt with multiple holes partially revealing her breasts she was only 9 and her chest reached a size of average 'B'. "Of course I promise," she said. "And God will light your path." Who is God? Why does He calm my mother so? He was Satan's enemy. Doesn't that make Him our enemy too?
On the quart, surrounded by Curse energy powered walls, Raiji sat alone, drawing strength markings of Hindu and Indian kanjis in the dirt with a pencil like structure of a stick, secretly letting a strand of her hair control its movements. She mumbled prayers to herself. The stick swerved and formed a circle, over lapping the first one with the kanji "love on the inside and its synonyms on the left, overlapping into the antonyms such as hate, suffering , loss and other kanjis on the outside.
"Hey! Boob Beast!" Raiji sighed in annoyance looked up from her thinking and frowned. The exact people she didn't want to see: Izeah, Bicsa and Jeegal. They had always bullied and abused her only because it was against Underworld laws to grow up having a bust more than 'B'. Small children were supposed to be flat chested, but she had already been an 'A' when she was born, just like her mother and her mother's auntie and that auntie's grandmother. Raiji thought of it as a special gene. Bicsa sneered and kicked her while her hands were in the pockets of her poor conditioned shorts. The dust flew and the kanjis vanished Oh well Raiji thought to herself. I already scribbled it on my cell wall. "Get up, slum! We're gonna play a game called Mark The Beast." she said and grinned maliciously.
"Are you're the beast. Grab her Jeegal!" she ordered to the tall boy. He grabs her arm with bone-crushing strength and Raiji whimpered in pain eyes burning from fighting back tears. She tried to pull away, but Jeegal was too strong. They drug her away from her previous spot and took her into a corner to where no one could see them, not even the Lacrima cameras floating around. Raiji yelled. "NO! Please! I don't want to play your games! They hurt me too much!" she she was shaking with fear.
"Well, if you were less deformed like your messed up "Godifull Mom"," Bicsa spat in a sarcastic distasteful tone, "… then you actually might've eared some equality."
"Time to teach you a lesson." Izeah grinned psychotically. Jeegal held both of her arms behind her back, locking them into a cuff-like hold. Bicsa pulled out a small shiny pocketknife from inside her shirt and handed it to Izeah. "You mark first." she said.
"My pleasure." the dark brown haired boy took the knife and slowly slid it down Raiji's cheek and down her neck. He didn't draw any blood but the Raiji began to cry. Why me. How are nightmares mysteries, Mama? Someone, help! Then, he rested the tip of the pocketknife on the right side of Raiji's forehead and raked it across her face like a tiny sword. Raji gave out a shriek as blood started to flow from the wound and drip on the ground. Bicsa took the knife. Raiji's head sank. Please… Shugo-sempai, Ushizumo-chan… Raiji's thoughts pleaded to her friends. Bicsa grabbed a handful of her hair and forcefully yanked her head up and out of the clouds. Raiji's mouth went into an AH shaped yell of pain. "You're pretty tough for a nine-year-old, Boob Beast. And there's so much blood!"
"Yeah…" Raiji huffed. "Because my mother passed her bravery down to me." Raiji smiled at the memory of her wonderful mother. "Tch!" Bicsa sneered. The mini sword was traveled to the opposite side of her forehead and sliced it down, Raiji shrieked in agony. The knife's two marks created a large X on the gold-eyed girl's face. She yelled louder, but another high pitched war scream sounded above hers. "RAI-TARAAAAA!" Raiji widened her eyes in pain-filled happiness as a girl and boy both with orange hair and blue eyes came sprinting. The girl was the tiny one and the other… Shugo and Ushizumo! A smoky black haired boy and a taller dark haired boy came in behind. The shirt black haired boy had closed eyes, due to handicap blind eyes; he even wore only shorts since boys didn't usually wear shirts. The orange haired girl fly- kicked Bicsa with a dusty barefoot in the rib, making her fly into a wall. She fell through the wall as Ushizumo skidded to a halt like a ninja. She wore a pink torn dirty dress. Jeegal created an Iron Dragon's Club out of his arm and it flew toward Raiji with immense speed. The dark haired boy pushed her out of the way. His arm shifted into that of a bear's and punched the club in motion, causing it to crack rapidly and break to many pieces. The boy punched him across the face and fell to the side with a large THUD. "Guys… you came…" Raiji coughed up blood. The oldest boy, Shugo, ran over to her and kneeled beside her. "I'm so sorry, we came late Raiji. We couldn't tell where your screams were coming from!" Shugo said. The dark haired boy called Ryouichi heaved her up bridal style with a bear's strong paws and they sped away, leaving Jeegal and Bicsa behind. Izeah had already escaped to snitch.
Suddenly, when they had come around the corner, they were met by a large group of jail guards. They yanked the group of five apart. Shugo was ripped away by a Flame Feral, nearly dropping Raiji on her injured face. Ushizimo was yanked by a Sky Feral. Raiji was a pulled onto her feet by an Ice Devil. Ryouichi by a Lightning Feral and Takashiro was grabbed by a King Dragon Feral.
"No!" Shugo tried to reach for Raiji, but she was out of his hand's reach.
"Let go of me you creep!" Ushizimi banged her little fists on Flame Feral. He glared down at her. She stopped hitting him and sobbed the whole way. "I'm so weak against the glare of a Feral…" she whimpered.
They were brought back inside the giant prison. They passed by the cafeteria that was hardly ever used and walked down a white hall of castle-like bricks and the group of guards and kicking and punching children stopped in front of a door. The sound of growls were heard on the other side. The double doors opened. "You plan raid on suspect, punishment." the Feral growled and tossed Shugo's little sister into the black room. The other four were brought around the corner and in front of a mirror that separated the others from the dark space Ushizimo was tossed into. Sky Feral pressed a button and a roar was heard. The walls on the left and right sides of the room lifted like mechanical cages. Slimy blue Tentacles from both sides of the room darted out of the opened cellars snatched a hold of Ushizimo's legs wrists, neck, and stomach. Two more flew out and tore her clothes apart. Ushizimi screamed. "Nooo! What are you gonna DO'dah me?" she yelled.
"Stop it you monsters! Let my sister go!" Shugo screamed. Raiji was barely conscious from so much blood lost. She was lost in space staring at the floor. Takashiro nodded in her direction and stared at nothing with closed eyes. I see… their thoughts are blank. Takashiro whispered in Raiji's head. The tentacle slid up her leg, coming closer to "that place". Ushizimo obtained a "please-don't" look of terror as the slimy tentacle thrust into her, tearing her walls. "UHAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" she shrieked in pain as blood trickled down her legs. It began pulling itself in and out of her (censored). Shugo shed so many tears it would have be enough to make a new pond. "Ushizimo…" Ryouichi began to cry too. Takashi could only hear, taste, smell, and feel his way around. He winced at the noise while staring straight ahead, on clue in the world on what was going on. One Ushizimo's exposed smoothed back was a Japanese kanji that read 6,999,999,013. Every prisoner had a number starting from one and ending at 7,000,000,000. Raiji found consciousness again and looked up, still crying through the drying blood. No… mom, we had a promise…
"You promise we'll leave escape with Taka, Shugo, Ushi and Ryou too?" little Raiji looked up at her mother. He had bandages around her I sized breasts and a long dress skirt. She had lighter and longer green hair and yellow eyes.
"Of course dear…" then the memory faded. "We will."
"No… Ushizimo!" Raiji yelled. Ushizimo lifted her head weakly turned it to the other four and the Feral watching with satisfaction for her "punishment". She had widened eyes, a large brave smile on her face, almost looking deranged. "Raiji… your nightmares of harsh loneliness… symbolize our freedom, my mystery…" Her eyes slowly looked down. "… My dreams of peace and love are your freedom… your solution…" She smiled warmly. The tentacle thrust into her anus and leaked more blood. She screamed again through ears and Shugo yelled NO in unison.
"How can girly smile? Is painful no?" Sky Feral said to King Feral. "Listen… all of you… we will escape, together… that's my only wish." Ushizimo closed her eye, and opened it again. To their horror, her right eye was fusing small red and orange flares, like flaps were overlapping itself in her eye, like flames and was si-board red. Her back glowed red and the Self-Destruction Spell formed itself on her back and stomach. The kanjis for destruction formed in backwards reading on her feet and "kill" formed on her small chest. Ushizumo's hair fused neon and turned pink.
"If feel no pain." They gasped. Shugo's eyes shadowed and he burst into green flames. The Feral holding the four of them burned and faded to ashes. Ushizimo's skin began to turn lava red. She yelled like she was transforming and threw her head to the ceiling, a red-ish orange laser shot out of her eyes and mouth. The whole room exploded. The explosion was covered a wall made by Ryouichi's Earth Beast and they all made a run for it "TOGETHER". Ushizumo stumbled from the back and body pain and Shugo carried her. They ran left, then right, right again and Shugo kicked the door down that they met.
On the other side were more prisoners. They all up shot from their sleeping places. The men were first to stand to protect the old and weak. Bicsa, Izeah and Jeegal included. Ryouichi shoved past Shugo.
"EVERYBODY OUT! WE'RE GONNA RIOT THIS JOINT!" Bicsa glanced horrified at Raiji's condition and ignored it with a huff. Everyone ran out, all following Ushizimo's scent trail. (Demons have a strong sense of smell)
"They ran around a corner and were confronted by guards. Since some of the prisoners had Curse powers (like the Nine Demon Gates), they began to fight and lock themselves in combat with the enemies. The others passed around, under, or through the hustle and continued on, the fighters already won and following. Then six people jumped down from a wall as they came into the quart yard. Over a thousand Demons of all races was out there. The six 3D Maneuver-wielding ninjas jumped through busted windows onto the lowest top of the building, people began panicking as if they were another enemy. The fire from the previous room spread. Ushizumo grabbed her navy blue rabbit from her cell and followed behind Jeegal. Jeegal snorted at the 6-year-old and a woman with gray short cut hair and Survey Corps like clothing waved her sword in the air. "SILENCE TO ALL!" The blind woman with the unseeing mask yelled. Everyone quieted down and watery sand showered down on the scorching flames. ("Oh my gosh" Juvia exclaimed. That was the Curse Keith had!") "We have come to help, "the cat man said. He had on a black shirt that stuck to his muscles and a dark colored bandana. "We are the Night Fairies! We come with peace and gratitude." The white haired cat man landed on top of fallen debris and stared down at the people.
"Doesn't he mean peace and love?" a white haired child with a deformed left hand said to a boy and girl with the same colored hair. The on who spoke looked like Mirajane while the other two looked like little Lisanna and Elfman as kids.
"We have hacked into the security and have released the seal of the Curse walls. You can all now escape to any location you chose, while one of my zombie comrades will escort you. (The Zombie is a rare and dangerous race of demon that survives by wearing dark colors on hot sunny days and eating an Underworld plant called Hutensya.)" They did as they were told and split into groups aiming for Fioretitou (Fiore), False Line City (True Cross Town), Jupecorcesoid (Japan) and other unnamed places. Ushizimo, who was supported by Takashi and Shugo, along with Raiji and Ryouichi chose the group going to a distant village called Loner Tribe. The others with them were Bicsa, a woman with a child who looked just like her and her husband, and three girls who were like triplets, known as Nicolas, Hephestia and Cathedra. The seven members split up, but the finger/toeless woman was mentally disabled and was supported by the skeleton man. They combined the False Line (True Cross) and Tuwailite Ogërr (Tu-wah-ee-lee-the Oh-ehrr)(Twilight Ogre). The locations were all connected into many huge lands in their world. The Underworld only had sunlight every 75-years and odd enough, Humans in this realm are VERY rare, like an endangered race. The building disappeared over the horizon as they slowly limped or walked away from it. It seems that the fire had started again and had burned to the ground right about now.
"I'm very happy you pulled through." Raiji hugged her injured friend. "Hey, we both have injuries, so I guess that means were Injured Buddies, Rai-tara." Ushizimo hugged Raiji back.
"I'm glad were altogether." Takashiro was being carried by a girl with white boy cut hair and rabbit ears. She had oven shaped eyes that were pink overlapped by another ring of a darker pink. She smiled at the blind kid and Takashiro hugged her head. They all laughed.
Eleven Years later, when all of them were grown up, they had now lived in the Loner Tribe Village, where people still harassed insulted Raiji, now that her but went from B to a mind blowing K! But she was glad, because she and her friends were still together.
