Um… This was inspired by Seven of Seven, which I don't own… Some shounen ai-ness later… uh…OOC-ness? I don't own Shaman King either… HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAUST! APRIL 8TH ALL THE WAY! XD
Eight Fausts!
Chapter one
Damn that witch. DAMN HER! If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be in this mess… Though having eight of me is rather interesting…
FLASHBACK
Faust was just walking through town, minding his own business when suddenly, an old woman jumped in his path. He would have run the short woman over, if he weren't so used to looking out for Manta.
"…"
"Here, come into my shop… I can sense… Something about you…"
Well, it seemed harmless enough, so he followed (more like dragged). It was an old dusty shop, with lots of worthless trinkets and old crumbling books.
"Now, you are like me, I too, have Power."
She placed a hand over a mouse's skeleton and it walked over the table before collapsing into a useless heap.
"See! It lives! Alas, that is the extent of my Power… just petty reanimations that last but a few seconds…" She paused. "But you, you have the Power, but no Will… I can help…"
Faust finally spoke up.
"Help? I don't need your help…"
"Ah! But your Will, your Will!"
She clung to him like the burrs used to on Frankie's fur. Quite disturbing really, she reeked of… Garlic? Odd.
She began muttering in… Latin?
"Convoco sacrae verbae muto Germania Viri in multi!"1
"…?"
Suddenly he passed out.
When he awoke, he was back in his room, staring at seven other, identical Fausts.
END FLASHBACK
Needless to say that was a surprise.
"What?"
"What the Hell?"
"Huh?"
"Um…"
"Oh dear…"
Then the door burst open.
There was silence. Then,
"WHAT!"
"HOW?"
"Wha-?"
"Eep!"
It seemed everybody had come in at once. Now isn't that sweet? They do care! However, it didn't appear like all of 'him' felt the same way.
"Eek! Wahhhhhhhhh! They hate me now! WAHHHHHHHHH!"
"We can't them see us! WE CAN'T! WECANTWECANTWECANT!
"Hallo! Teehee!"
"You people make me sick…"
"Now, was that anyway to treat someone? To just barge into their room?"
"ARGH! JUST LEAVE ALREADY!"
THWACK, THUMP
"Ow!"
The group retreated.
"That was odd…"
The Fausts all looked at each other.
"I hate that hag…"
They all nodded.
"So…"
"Hi! I'm your happy and hyper side!"
"I'm the doctor in you…"
"Heh, and the worrywart, and the 'matronly' you…"
"That's 'evil' Faust…I guess you can call me sexy Faust…"
"I'm your sort of 'obsessive' side as people usually put it…Why? I'm mean is it just me? Or do they just hate everyone? WHICH IS IT! I NEEEEEEEDDDDDDDD TOOOOOOOO KNOWWWWWWWWWWW!"
"Er…"
"JUST SHUT UP! You aren't helping anything!"
"That's your mean side."
The original Faust took this all in dazedly.
"So… Why am I here?"
"No idea…"
1. I call together the sacred words to change the German man into many! XD It sucks, but it's the best I could do with the Latin I know… Wheeee!
