Lol, yes, thought I'd continue this. I think this is a guilty pleasure for me, I like this story~ :3
Yay, now for Battler and Suzaku, Dlanor and Rivalz, plus Takano *barfs* anyway...
Hope you like this one, if anyone's reading o_o
Fun Fact: Lelouch and Mion may be sorta immortal, but their not centuries years old like Logan and Victor are. Lelouch is 18 and Mion is 16. Battler is 19, Suzaku is 18, Erika's 15, Dlanor is 14, and Rivalz is 18, too.
"So where do you suppose Erika ran off to?" A young man with spiky red hair was rummaging through a refridgerator, collecting soda cans under one arm.
"She kept going on about how the boss chose her for some "special mission", or some other crap a while ago." Another young man with blue hair and brown eyes that looked replied, catching the soda that was thrown at him, as he continued playing pool with another man that was older.
The man appeared to be the same as as the man in the fridge, with brown wavy locks and sage greens. He wore a black t-shirt and khaki pants and played with a cheerful smile on his face.
"Hey, you want something?" The red-haired man called to another unknown person sitting in the corner of their hangout room with a large newspaper covering the face.
The person didn't reply, and the red-haired man sighed, "Alright then."
The door opened instantly and a woman in her late twenties emerged. The woman had pale blonde hair and droopy amber eyes, yet now they were fueled with some sort of determination and for some reason excitement.
"Boss!" The red-haired man said with surprise, "Hey...I heard you sent Erika off somewhere. Is she back yet?"
"Right here, Battler~!" A blue-haired middle schooler in a pink fluffy dress appeared out of thin air next to his shoulder, poking him playfully.
Battler jumped 10 feet high, "DAMN it, Erika! Why do you keep doing that?"
"Quiet!" The woman snapped, and Battler and Erika froze, standing up straight next to each other. Even though she just barked an order, the woman was still beaming.
"Eh?" The bluenette boy drinking his soda from the pool table looked over his shoulder, "Boss? You seem a little too happy today..."
The woman then smiled warmly at the bluenette, "That's right, Rivalz. I am very happy. You see, we have new members to our wonderful group, Team X."
Rivalz and the man he was playing with widened their eyes, then ran over to where they were, while Erika smiled proudly.
Even the one in the corner who was certaintly engrossed in the newspaper, lowered it and blinked in curiosity. She then stood up and joined the group of the others, making the number now five excluding their boss.
This was Team X, the supposedly elite group of people (or rather you could say kids) with superhuman powers and abilities. None of these people looked like they were more than they seemed.
There was Battler, the oldest, a tall and suave 19 year old with spiky red hair and blue eyes. He was always the pervy type, but he'd never go as far as to harm someone ("Only to feel and be happy is what I'm after!" is what he'd say), and besides, he was already used to the three females in the group. He was a fellow born very bright, but that was natural, not one of his powers.
Then there was Suzaku, handsome and very physically fit, with sage green eyes and brown wavy locks. He was sweet and gentle, but was rather hyper sometimes. A pair of long swords were constantly strapped to his back.
After was Rivalz, who was loud and boisterous. The lad usually gets bored easily, and likes to prank his teammates using his powers.
Already there's Furudo Erika, the girl with the ability to teleport. Extremely intelligent, but extremely cocky and selfish, she always tries to be the best under their boss, showing off, pulling off orders faster, trying to be greater than her "subordinates".
Finally, Dlanor removed her reading spectacles and blinked pure yellow eyes at their pale-haired boss, waiting for the new recruits. Only a young girl, really, the same age as Erika with silver hair in thick curls. She spoke very politely to everyone, even to her enemies. But Erika had the habit of calling her a "murder doll". Because she really did act like a doll. She never shows any emotion at any time. Only when she wants to, which is extremely random.
Their boss, Doctor Takano Miyo, changed her warm smile to that of a very sly one, as if she knew a dark secret.
She walked in the rec room farther and moved out of the way, holding her hand out, "These are your new teammates. Please treat them with as much respect and friendliness as you do for each other."
"Then they won't like Erika." Battler muttered, and Erika only snickered, but then he brought his eyes back to the doorway and widened them just a tad.
A man with hair black as a raven's feather walked in smoothly, wearing a black worn out trench coat with a black shirt and pants underneath. Suzaku cocked his head, Rivalz nodded in approval, and Erika almost drooled, even though this wasn't the first time seeing him.
The newcomer appeared to be Battler's age, they were of the same height, but the former was rather thin, whereas Battler seemed slightly built.
"Hi." The young man said, smiling, "My name's Lelouch." He looked friendly, everywhere except his violet eyes.
"Hey, nice to meet'cha, Lelouch!" Rivalz exclaimed, going over and grabbing the black-haired man's shoulder, "So you've been "specially selected", too, huh?"
Dlanor cocked her head, "May I ask the location of the second teammate, Dr. Takano?"
Takano looked behind her, and the others looked as well. Nobody was behind Lelouch or Rivalz in the doorway.
There was a clinked noise, and everyone whipped around to the fridge, which was opened and being raided by a female of around 16.
"Not fond of this brand of root beer." She muttered, pulling out a can, "At least it's not orange soda."
The girl gulped down her drink, then paused, turning to the others, "What?"
All eight except Takano, Lelouch and Erika stared at the second newcomer. She was of average height, a few inches taller than Erika and Dlanor. She had pale green hair pulled into a long and tight ponytail. There were green bangs over her face that parted in the middle.
She wore very worn out khaki pants that reached her knees, and a faded white-ish brown sleeveless t-shirt. Her hands were wrapped up in some brownish bandages with 3 inch long strands that hung from them, the right hand held the soda can while the other hung loosely on her side.
"That's Mion." Takano said in her usual sly voice, gesturing to the girl who calmly drank her beverage with no trouble, "She and Lelouch are brother and sister."
Battler's eyes widened and his mouth watered as he inched closer and closer to Mion, yet his eyes weren't on her beautiful face or mint green eyes.
They were on her breasts.
"S-S-So full...so wonderful~!" Battler held his hands out to Mion, flexing his fingers, "Compared to Erika's B's or Dlanor's A's, THESE by far have passed the sacred test!"
"Are you Battler?" Mion asked.
"Yeah..." Battler's hands were even closer to her chest, "That's me!" He didn't seem to pay attention to anything now.
"Almost there...almost there...!"
"Hiya, Mion!"
Battler was knocked back as Suzaku jumped in front of him and grabbed Mion's left bandaged hand, shaking so hard she spilled some of her root beer, "Nice to meet you! Another girl here, wow, this'll be interesting!"
"N-Nice to meet you, too..." Mion started slowly, letting go and moving over to Lelouch's side.
"I hope you all can become friends." Takano said to them all, smiling, "For now, our weapons have increased from five to seven! Wonderful, isn't it?"
"Indeed." Lelouch agreed quietly, watching his sister stare awkwardly at all the mutants, somehow confused that they were excited.
"Well, since I met Mion and Lelouch first, I thought it would be great if I showed them around as the tour guide!" Erika ran in between and grabbed onto Mion and Lelouch's arms, puffing her chest out proudly.
"WHAT?" Rivalz fumed, running in front, "Let ME show them around! All YOU'D do is talk about yourself!"
Dr. Takano clapped her hands loudly, and both kids stopped immediately. Mion thought they all acted like trained dogs.
"Dlanor shall show Mion and Lelouch around. You two along with Battler and Suzaku shall clean up the root beer you caused our new friend to spill."
She pointed to the small droplets on the floor.
"O-Oh, sorry about that." Mion turned to Takano, who only smiled back.
"Don't worry about it, Mion. Why not you and Lelouch go along with Dlanor and make yourselves at home? I shall gather information on your first mission."
With a swoosh, Takano Miyo faced the doorway and briskly walked out, leaving them there.
Mion and Lelouch sighed.
"Remember to be polite, little sister." The black-haired man looked down at her, "Dr. Takano's influence is what allowed us freedom."
"I know that." Mion crossed her arms, "I'm just hoping you'll behave."
Lelouch smirked, purple eyes growing dark and they changed slightly, "What makes you think I'd misbehave?"
"Alot of reasons." The girl walked past her brother and up to Dlanor, "You're gonna show us around?"
"Correct." Dlanor replied, folding her reading glasses, "I shall be your guide for today. There is not much to observe through, but I hope it shall fit your needs. We do not live here often, we are sent around the world many times to take care of problems that normal humans cannot."
She walked along, standing erect and walking in a straight line, with Mion and Lelouch following.
Battler had gathered up some paper towel and was dabbing up the drops of root beer, "So what'do'ya think of those two?"
"Lelouch kinda creeps me out..." Rivalz replied, "...But his sister, Mion, she's pretty cool. I wonder what their powers are."
"Mion's is awesome." Erika said, popping around the kitchen several times spraying room perfume around, "I can't wait for you guys to see!"
Suzaku raised an eyebrow, "Erika, you're not gonna tell us?"
Erika only grinned, "Sorry, Suzaku, but I'm not spoiling the fun. Why not you wait, hm?"
They finished the mess before Erika collapsed on the sofa with a grin on her face.
"Ah, isn't this fun? Now I can show off my amazing-ness to our new friends!"
Battler only rolled his eyes as he stood up, "I bet the..." He stopped and looked at Erika, who watched him maliciously, "...Never mind."
Erika smiled, and jumped off to watch Rivalz and Suzaku duke it out with the pool game they returned to.
"I bet the boss used blackmail to get them to join." Battler finished in his mind. There was no bad-mouthing about the boss in front of Erika. It wasn't Erika being entirely devoted, she was just so cruel she liked to immaturely tell on them to Dr. Takano, for laughs.
Dlanor's tour was over. The place they lived consisted of a bathroom and bedroom that all the females share, and the same for the boys. Then there was the rec room, which had a mini kitchen, a pool table, a tv, just a place for them to take a break.
Lelouch decided to leave, and Mion didn't stop him. Lelouch always went out on his own. He simply opened the door and left the hang-out room.
Mion walked over slowly to the pool table and watched Rivalz and Suzaku play. They just seemed like normal kids and young adults. Rivalz wore a dark orange shirt and khaki pants, Battler wore a very wrinkled dark red dress shirt and casual pants, like he was going to a party but decided to go and get drunk instead.
Erika and Dlanor looked the most unusual, Erika had that puffy pink and ivory dress with a rose hat thingy, Dlanor had a sleeveless blue turtleneck that was short enough to reveal her naval, but hanging from her neck was a white cravat, and finally, little gold buttons adorned her shirt and short blue pants.
They looked like they were having so much fun, Rivalz yelled at Suzaku for managing to get his last two pool balls into one corner, Erika bust a gut laughing at Rivalz failing, and Dlanor clapped slowly and quietly.
"Hey, Mion!"
Mion jerked a tad, blinking and looking at Battler, who was holding Rivalz and Suzaku's pool sticks.
"Wanna play?" He tossed her one, in which she caught quickly, "I'd like to see you lose."
"...Ditto." Mion replied, the corners of her lips tugging upwards.
"Let's see if you're better than Rivalz."
"That isn't hard." Erika murmured to Dlanor, and Rivalz exploded.
"I WASN'T THAT BAD! I COULD BEAT YOU ALL AT SOMETHING ELSE! JUST NOT POOL!" He pointed at Erika, when suddenly a crash above Mion's head went off.
Mion looked up to find the lightbulb above her exploded, she instantly flung her arm over her face as shards of glass cut into her skin.
"...Whoops." Rivalz murmured.
"Rivalz..." Suzaku growled quietly, going over to Mion quickly with a paper towel.
But Mion's arms already healed, the blood that was flowing had vanished and the glass fell from her skin and clanked on the floor.
Rivalz was already sweeping up the glass, "Erm...sorry about that, Mion. I kinda got carried away. It happens sometimes."
"Don't worry about it." Mion shook her bandaged hands at him, "It's fine."
"Oh, Rivalz, you clutz!" Erika warped to a box on the mini kitchen counter and picked up a light bulb, instantly warping back to where they were, holding it up to Battler, who was tall enough to reach up and replace the broken bulb.
Battler took it without speaking to the child with blue pigtails, but instead looked at Mion as he now struggled getting the broken bulb out, "Did the glass hurt you?"
"Not really." Suzaku pointed to Mion's arm, and Rivalz and Battler stared in amazement, "Wow, you're like Dlanor! She can get NUKED and not even get a single scratch! You just healed really quickly!"
Mion forced a smile, Dlanor walked to her side, and Mion said, "So...nothing can injure you?"
Dlanor's yellow eyes studied Mion's face, "That is correct. But I do not feel much pain. Bullets feel like little twigs against my body."
Mion went quiet, only shrugging.
"Why do you have those bandages?" Suzaku asked, looking at her hands, "You wield knives or something?"
Mion eyed the two twin swords strapped to Suzaku's back, "...They just hide stuff. But it makes me look cool."
Everyone blinked. Dlanor then spoke up,
"Are you weary, Miss Mion? I can escort you back to the girl's room where you can rest."
Mion shook her head, "No thanks, I'm fine. I wanna fight with my new friend Battler."
She twirled the pool stick many times around her fingers, slamming the point onto the green pool table, "You in?"
Everyone immediately ducked from the spinning stick, and Battler jumped straight back up, "Oh yeah! Let's see how my new friend Mion can play this..."
Without taking their eyes off each other, the red-headed man and the green-haired girl collected all the pool balls and set them up, getting ready for something so epic even though it only appeared to be a mere game.
"Your brother must prefer to spend his time in isolation, does he not?" Dlanor asked as she combed her silver-white thick curls on the bed across from Mion's.
The girl's bedroom was larger in width than it was in length. Erika slept in one corner on one side, whilst Dlanor's bed was in a corner on the other. The empty bed in the corner next to Dlanor's was finally now being occupied.
"Huh?" Mion was laying on her back with her elbows up, "Uh, yeah. Lelouch and I are usually inseperable, but he and I like to be alone every once in a while." She brought her eyes back to the window where the stars shone.
Dlanor was quiet for a few seconds, then spoke once more, "You are staring at the night sky, like you have not seen it in a long time."
"...That part's true." Mion shrugged, then looked over at Erika, who was humming to herself and playing with a deck of cards.
Dlanor shut off their lamp, but her yellow eyes still seemed to glow in the darkness, "You were imprisoned? That is what Miss Erika says."
"Mm hm. I'd never would've taken this job if it didn't let me see the light of day." Mion paused, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend-"
"Do not worry." The silver haired girl slipped under the covers and stared at the ceiling, "You did not offend me. We all have had a rough past, even Miss Erika, Mr. Suzaku, and Mr. Rivalz...even though they always seem to be happy."
"You don't have to tell me twice. We're all different. Due to that, we can't be accepted in normal society. But hey, I've gotten used to it."
Erika suddenly warped to the foot of Mion's bed, "That's why me and Dlanor joined Team X, you know. Dr. Takano offered us a chance to make a change, to make ourselves useful, you know?"
The girl beamed, "And I-well, I guess the others too-have done a brilliant job of doing that! Many lives were saved because of us!"
"But just as many lives were stolen because of us as well." Dlanor murmured quietly.
The silver-haired young woman turned over, away from Erika and Mion, and grew still, as if already asleep.
"Oh, don't listen to that murder doll!" Erika waved her hand, then leaning in over Mion, said, "I'm sure you'll love it here! And Lelouch will, too!"
"Of course he will." Mion replied, growing serious, "...This is Lelouch's dream job, he was so giddy the way here."
She was being sarcastic, but yes, Lelouch was excited, he just never showed it. The siblings could easily tell each other's emotions without looking at each other. Their shared blood and mutant powers contributed to that. And Lelouch was happy for this new job. Not only does he not have to be locked up anymore, but he also gets the chance to actually murder someone.
When he takes a life, the black-haired man only does it with a smile on his face and a song in evil heart, hejust likes to kill, and he's nothing but a sadist.
Mion only kills when nessasary, and that's quite often. She hates seeing their blood, hates seeing their shocked expressions of pain...she just hates it.
But her other side...is just like Lelouch. And she also hates herself for it.
It sucked, not having control. Mion often dreamed about when she was younger, only 9, when her powers didn't awaken. It seemed so long ago...
Erika's blue eyes scanned Mion's face that was lost in thought, then she smiled, "Dlanor and Battler got used to it. So did Suzaku and Rivalz."
She poked Mion's shoulder, "And I'm sure you shall get used to it, too."
She giggled, disappeared, and reappeared on the bed way across the room.
The young woman with the bandaged hands only sighed irritably, turning over like Dlanor did, and stared at the sky from the window.
"Welcome..." Dr. Takano smiled slowly to everyone standing in a straight line.
Erika stood at the very left, up straight and proud, making sure her blue hair was nice. Next to her was Dlanor, then it went Suzaku, Rivalz and Battler. Finally Lelouch and Mion were on the very right.
Takano Miyo walked around them all, slowly, like a collector admiring her collection. Mion thought of her to be the weirdest woman she's ever met. Lelouch was neutral, but Erika stared at Takano with a large welling respect, whilst Dlanor looked as if her mind was elsewhere. The other men stood like regular soldiers.
"As you can tell, we have two new members of Team X. I'm glad, I figured we would need two more for this mission..."
She went over to the wall and pushed a button on a remote she suddenly had in her hand. The side of the wall suddenly moved away like a secret passage and revealed a wide TV/Computer screen.
"There is a town deep in the jungles of Nigeria, located here." She pointed at a part of the map of Africa that had appeared, "It had been filled with Nigerian military forces for no apparant reason. That reason had just been deducted."
She titled her head, her pale blonde strands elegantly gliding over her shoulders and her droopy amber eyes blinked, "They are mining for a mineral known as adamantium, which may have come from a meteorite that had crashed around the area."
"Adamantium? Never heard of it." Battler spoke up, now crossing his arms.
"I know you haven't, Battler-kun." Takano smirked, "But I need it. And the CIA would like to examine it themselves a bit, as well. That is our mission."
"Overcome the military forces and steal the adamantium?" Erika held her fists to her chin in excitement, "Sounds fun!"
"Well, yeah, I guess new minerals are good for your science studies, boss." Rivalz laughed, shrugging and scratching the back of his head.
Suzaku and Dlanor said nothing.
"This will be very interesting..." Lelouch murmured almost seductively, and that made Mion cringe.
Unfortunately Takano had noticed this, "Mion? Something wrong?"
Mion forced a blush to not appear on her cheeks. She stared Takano hard in the face and replied, "Nothing. Continue, Doctor."
Takano smiled, "Thank you..." She turned back to the map, "..It may not be as easy as I expected to infiltrate. Their numbers are high, and there have been rumors of an electric fence surrounding the base. They keep close watch 24/7, but..."
Looking over her shoulder, she said in a low voice, "I'm 100% positive us eight can get in."
Mion stared at the map from where she stood. A town in the jungles of Nigeria? Military forces?
"Is there an idea of how many there are?" She asked, and everyone looked at her, so now she was suddenly making sure the bandages on her left hand were tight enough, "It may be difficult to subdue them-"
"Oh, we don't "subdue" as you say, Mion-chan..." Takano's smile grew wider, "...There's no need to take prisoners or anything else...We just exterminate."
Mion grit her teeth, as the blonde added, "I suggest you watch over what you say next, Mion-chan...that prison cell won't be empty much longer if you keep this up."
Bandaged fists clenched, green eyes narrowed with absolute fury. Suddenly Mion was shaking like no other, her breathing grew very heavy.
Lelouch grabbed her right shoulder and squeezed hard, reminding her of her place and the girl managed to calm down. She looked up at Takano.
"Tell me when we leave." And she turned and stormed out of the room.
Erika gasped, "Dr. Takano! No one has ever left without your permission before! Should I bring her back..?"
"No, Erika." Takano only seemed amused, "I believe Mion-chan just needs time to adjust to her surroundings. She must get used to being able to wander in the open, no?"
Erika giggled and Lelouch barely hid his smile. Battler and Suzaku looked at each other, and Dlanor closed her eyes.
"Leave...me...alone." Mion breathed each word with ill-contained anger as she stood on the roof of the Team X small building.
"Oh, my poor little sister is in a bad mood..." Lelouch went over to her side, hands in his pockets, "You're really abusing Dr. Takano's generosity, you know that?"
"Shut up!" Mion snapped, mint eyes practically glowing with intensity, "I don't care about what Dr. Takano did for us! I actually don't even mind going back to prison if it means I won't have to kill someone!"
"Look at this..." Lelouch commented slyly, his expression growing darker, "...You're now much different than you were when we were young. You're several times more stubborn now."
The wind picked up, blowing Mion and Lelouch's bangs across their face as they now silently watched the moon together. They looked much different, but yes, they were related. They shared the same father, but not their mother. The two were both the spitting images of their mothers, actually, but only their mothers. They half-shared many things, but appearances they did not.
"I like being stubborn." Mion said after a while, "Girls nowadays are so dependant on others. They always act like they need a boy in their life 24/7. They're so weird."
"You don't have to worry about that, little sister. You already have a man in your life, don't you?"
Lelouch smirked as Mion raked her fingers through her bangs in frustration.
"I don't have to deal with you, "big brother". I'll play along with this little game, alright? Now leave me alone."
"With pleasure." The black-haired man responded with a smile, turning away and disappearing in an instant.
Mion mumbled an insult under her breath, before sitting cross-legged and unbandaging her hands, giving her scarred skin a little air.
Thinking about it, Mion and Lelouch's personality seem to be switched sometimes. I don't mean for it to happen, but it kinda does? XD
Review? :D
