Chapter 1: Something goes wrong
Date: October 13th, 2041.
Four people walked past the glimmering light, the group of unknown individuals took more steps forward and they stopped at the edge of an unoccupied building, They stood there as a helicopter came flying from a distance, it had an image of a star and two planes around it as its symbol. Under it was the name: The SF Protection Force, which was the name of the organization it came from. the helicopter moved to the distant city known as San Francisco.
"This is a problem," the third one with the dual knifes replied, "They have the Artifact."
"And now all he needs is the last piece of his puzzle." The one with the big gun said. "This will be harder than I thought it will be."
"Should we get some backup?"
"I'm not sure, all we have to do now is hope." The group wasn't expecting this to go downhill, but of course these things have to happen. "We have to go." Right next to him, the girl with purplish hair nodded, and threw a object one feet away, it opened up and it became a portal, which the group instantly jumped in.
Date: July 5th, 2009.
Today was a bright sunny day, that meant that bad things were destined to happen, in fact that happened almost everyday, and now it's going to hit on our heroes, the S.E.E.S.
"For the last time, I don't want to go here!" Complained Ken, Koromaru barked an agreement.
"Oh shut up already!" Mitsuru said, "I had enough of you two whining!" She seemed anxious and tired of hearing them, the group was heading to the best festival in town, The Japanese Party festival (warning: this is not a real festival, this is it's first day.) "aren't you guys excited!" She replied again, turning to her teammates.
"One word; No." Akihiko said. Shinjiro, Junpei, and Yukari shook their heads. The others who didn't answered were the ones who already didn't want to go, except for Minato, who didn't really mind.
"Too bad, you're gonna be excited for this!" the red haired girl turned again and they kept walking through the sidewalk, the sight of balloons meant the sign of the festival, they were almost there.
Yukari looked at Minato, who was busy listening to his music from his MP3, she noticed that he selected his grey scarf as his clothing, even though it was clearly summer time. She, for whatever reason, liked that, it was matching his cool image.
'Oh Minato, you look so good today, and I loved the way you pay attention to random things.' She thought in her mind, 'If only I could have the courage to say something to you.' She smiled, and kept her eyes on him, but she bumbed right behind Fukka.
"Hey, watch it." She instantly replied, yukari snapped back into reality.
"Oh, sorry Fukka-san, I didn't noticed." She apologized, and noticed that the group stopped at the entrance.
"Ladies and Gentlemen," Mitsuru announced, "I welcome you to... The Japanese Vegas Festival!" She put her hands in the air, in a cheery mood. She was behind the gate that separated them and the festival, there was a big top tent, and a bunch if shacks far away from it, and the tent was making balloons appear from inside, and they were sent into space. She clapped and hoped that the rest would do so, unfortunately, Only Fukka did.
"Oh come on, where's the excitement?" She said.
"We don't have any excitement left in our system, they all died." Junpei commented, his complement only mad Mitsuru mad. it looks like it was going to take a long while for them to get excited.
The gates automatically opened, and a guy dressed as a clown came to the group.
He greeted them by saying "Welcome to the the Japansee Vegas festival." In a bored mood, he was thinking the same thing as the other S.E.E.S members. "Where all the excitement happens here!" Mitsuru clapped, she was already enjoying this.
"Come on turtles, move." She excitedly replied, and walked to the town square, the others didn't move an inch.
"This is total bullcrap!" Junpei sighed, "I didn't came here just to watch these clowns make fools of themselves!"
"She was forcing us into doing this," Ken said, "and clowns are supposed to make fools of themselves, that's the first rule of clowns."
"It's totally true." The clown guy nod his head.
Junpei decided to get out of this situation, "I'm leaving you guys!" He turned around and ran right in front of Mitsuru (What the?)
"Oh no you are not buddy!" She angrily shouted, and pushed Junpei to the town, leaving him and the others confused of how she got here, she turned around to them and gave them the evil glare. Not wanting her to get angry, they followed her.
"Look at this place, it's a dump." Yukari commented on her surroundings, the festival was packed with people, but the background was not really good, even for festival standards. The first flaw they could see was the fact that there was water spilling all over the ground, the sinks were left on, so they were going all over the place. Another problem was that the tents had holes in them, even the big top.
The snack shack was selling broccoli on ice cream, and the billboards advertising it said; Eat it or you will die! Yukari was not having fun already, she had to thank Mitsuru for that, because that was the only thing she was talking about for two weeks straight.
She looked at Minato again, he was done searching through his MP3 Player, and he was looking at the background as well, he didn't like it, but he didn't show that reaction.
The group stopped at the middle of the site, "Alright everyone, you all know the rules." Mitsuru said, "everyone must head inside the big top for the epic prefornance at 4:00, if anyone is late," she stopped and did her impression in her evil voice, "I will kill you!" The S.E.E.S gang backed away and quickly nodded their heads. She smiled, "good," then she grabbed Jumpei's arm.
"Hey, I'm not gonna run away again lady."
"Of course you're not, I'm taking you with me, whether you like it or not!" She pulled him to the far side of the festival, and everyone else walked away from each other. Yukari was left with Fukka. Takeba looked at the right path, where Minato and Aigis was walking.
"You're looking at him again, aren't you?" Fukka replied, her friend shook her head.
"No, no I wasn't." She lied, and blushed a bit. "I was just noticing how tiring the workers must be."
"Liar."
"I'm not lying, I swear." Fukka knew about takeba's problem, but she wanted to help her out on her situation. She said "let's just get going, we're not gonna have fun just standing here." She dragged her friend to where Minato and Aigis was.
"This is gonna be fun." Minato said, half smiling.
"No, it's not, this is gonna be lame." Yukari replied, "Did you see the other billboard we just past?"
"The one where it says 'Worst carnival ever'? yes, and I don't believe it." For whatever reason, Arisato was interested in these sort of things. "Where should we go?"
Aigis answered, "The most visited attraction so far is the haunted barn." Her finger was on the map, and it pointed to the place that looked like a mansion, but when they looked, it was a real mansion, unfortunately it wasn't decorated in spooky accessories.
"Yep, this is gonna be bad." Fukka commented. they heading to the front steps, she came to the door and rung the bell. But the bell acrually sounded like an alarm for a tornado.
"AHHH!" yukari covered her ears, and so did fukka, luckily the alarm lasted for about two seconds. "What the hell?!" she already hated this place, and just before she can go storm out, the door opened up automatically.
"Ladies first." Minato replied, and step aside. Aigis, Fukka, and Yukari entered and he came last. The door closed right behind them. They turned around to see that, and the room suddenly turned pitch black.
"Oh no, the lights went out!" Fukka shouted, and started to panic.
Yukari, who was not really interested in this "Haunted house" exposition, sighed, "Fukka-San, it's just a stupid trick, there's no way this thing is scary." She was also gonna say Plus we have Aigis with us to tell us when to avoid these stupid jump scare moments, but she was told earlier not to do anything that involved cheating.
"That's what you said when we went to the Halloween party, don't you remember when we got attacked by a wrestling giraffe?"
"I remember that!"
"Can you both stop talking please?" Minato politely replied to the argument. He started walking a few steps towards the door that said "Warning, do not go in there".
He opened it up and walked inside, the rest followed suit, and yet again, they went into the darkness that completely blinded them. The door also closed behind them, Fukka started to shiver, and grabbed yukari's arm, they were stuck here for now, and none of the had a watch, and they were not allowed to use Aigis' abilities, or else mitsuru will come and attack them.
"Uh, what are we supposed to do now?" Takeba-San asked Minato, he shrugged and looked at his feet. But he decided to move on, "hey wait, get back here." Yukari followed him and so did the others.
Unfortunately, the group was walking around for about three minutes, Aigis remained quiet, Minato kept wandering around, Fukka was afraid, and Yukari was bored of this, she would rather do something than walking into empty space.
"That's it, I hate this place!" She shouted, her voice echoed through the room. "I'm getting out of here!"
"Guys, you might want to look at this." She heard Minato shout out, and they ran to him, he was standing a few feet from a glowing object, it was floating in midair, it was in the shape of a cube and it was glowing red. "What is that?"
"Uh, no idea." That was all Yukari said, "Aigis, can you verify this object?"
The android said, "I can not, Mitsuru will attack me with her rapier." Yukari did a face palm, and didn't notice Minato walking to the object.
M-M-Minato-San, stay away from that thing!" Fukka instantly replied. "You don't know what it can do!" Minato didn't listened. He took alone step closer, and held out his hand. Something about it caught his attention. He nearly reached for it, when he felt his hand twitch, then he forcefully grabbed the cube, the other three gasped, Minato had the cube in his grasp, and he sighed of relief.
Then all of a sudden, he felt his arm twitch again, and the glow from the cube brighten the entire room. "What the he-!"
Her eyes finally opened. Yukari was lying on her back, looking at the gray sky, she sat up and looked at the background, she was lying on dirt, and she noticed Minato, he was lying face first on the dirt, and he seemed unconscious.
"Minato-san!" she shouted and rushed to him, she touched his back and tried to flip him over. She succeeded, and she had full view of his face, it wasn't covered in soil, and he seemed to be breathing. "Are you okay?" She replied, he didn't answer.
"Yukari!" she turned around and saw Akihiko, Fukka, Aigis, and Shinjiro rushed to the two. Akihiko said, "What happened?"
"I don't know." She got on her feet, and wipe the mess off her shirt, "I don't even know how this happened!"
"Ugh, my head hurts." Minato woke up and touched his face in pain, and got back up. Yukari sighed, it was lucky Minato was okay. "What happened?"
"We were blinded by a bright light, and we ended up on the ground several feet away from the house." Fukka replied, "I didn't know what was going in at the time, so when I woke up, I was extremely confused."
Aigis replied, "So was I." She looked at the dazed Minato, he was still confused.
"Run, we're gonna be late!" They all heard a group of adults run past them, "we're gonna be late!"
Shinjiro said, "man, I wonder what's the hurry." He noticed that he adults were running past a sign that said; Big Top. "Oh shoot." He then started dashing past the others, then they thought the same thing.
"The Epic performance!" They all (except for Minato) shouted, and they all hurried to the tent, Yukari grabbed Minato and started to bring him to the tent, luckily they all managed to get there on time.
"Hey, over here!" They heard Mitsuru shouted out to them, she still had her grip on Junpei's wrist, and he was begging for her to let go. The S.E.E.S. Managed to sit down, and were ready to watch the amazing performance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the awesome performance you'll never forget!" The ringleader appeared and started to speak into the microphone. "I will present to you...the epic tightrope maneuver!" He expected a heck load of claps, but only nine people clapped, that included Mitsuru, and a few bored citizens.
The epic tightrope maneuver was just a wooden bridge attached to two poles which made the bridge up two feet in the air. That wasn't much good. It was worse when the ringleader said, "All we need is two volunteers to get started." Not much people raised their hands, Mitsuru was doing it though, but the ringleader barely showed any attention for her. The ringleader decided the best way to pick people was to point at them, "I pick this couple!" He had his finger pointed out at Yukari, and Minato.
"Huh?" Yukari stuttered.
"NOOOO!" Mitsuru screamed, she started crying right on Jumpei's jacket. He tried to get away from her, but he was stuck. "WHHHHYYYY?!" Takeba dragged Minato to the ladder at the second pole, he grabbed the ladder, and tried to climb up the steps. She went to the first pole and climbed it up, once she made it to the top, she asked "what am I supposed to do?"
The ringleader shouted, "You and your boyfriend have to do some random things on the bridge, and kiss or something."
"Seriously!?" She shouted back at him, "I'm supposed to do that?"
"Yeah, that's what they do on TV." Yukari sighed and tried to walk the bridge, Minato wasn't making progress, he went on it, but he didn't held his ground much.
"You can do it!" Mitsuru shouted, she was whistling out for joy, Yukari didn't find that amusing. She finally reached the middle of the bridge, and so did Minato.
"Ugh, hey Takeba." He studdered as well. "Now what?"
"I don't know, we're supposed to kiss or something..."
"Ugh, that's great."
mitsuru, again, shouted "Do something cool or else!" She put on her death glare again. Yukari turned to Minato, he wasn't feeling good, his face looked pale.
Takeba replied, "Are you alright?"
"maybe." He coughed a bit and his hand started twitching. "Maybe not actually." Then all of a sudden his right hand started to glow red.
"Oh my-" Takeba was speechless. The red hand started glowing and it spreader throughout the tent, he grunted hard and fell right in his knees. Then the bridge started falling apart, a piece of wood fell on the floor, and broke apart. Minato screamed in pain, and all of those boring people started panicking, even the ringleader.
"We got to run!" Akihiko shouted to Mitsuru, he already was on the move, but he tripped on a pebble and fell on his face. The other S.E.E.S. Just stood there in shock and awe.
The red light from Minato's hand grew and consumed the members, then the light faded and the place stopped the madness, however the S.E.E.S. Group had vanished.
A/N: Alright, I guess this is good enough, i'll come back soon, and hopefully this story can be great just like my first one. Bye.
