Time for chapter 2~ Alphard and Maria run into each other at the anti-terrorism conference. Based on scenes from episodes 6 and 7 ;)
0000000000000These mean it's a different scene ;) (sorry, I had to do something like this ^^')
'I get to take pictures! I get to take pictures! Sugoi! Sugoi!' the blonde, known as Maria, sang in her head. She happily found an open spot, and started taking pictures of the anti-terrorism conference she got invited to,
'Take a snapshot here! Take a snapshot there! Take a snapshot every-!' her thoughts stopped as she captured a picture or two of a dark haired woman staring intensely at her. Maria followed her with her camera, as she walked up the aisle. It was none other than Alphard who stopped right in front of the confused girl. Maria took a step back, saying nothing.
"It's been a while." Alphard said simply.
'…Ummm….who is this…?' Maria thought, trying to think back in her life as to when she might've met the woman standing in front of her. They both just stood there staring at each other, as the conference went on, until the crowd cheered for the President. Back to reality, Maria still only managed to say,
"Umm…" but was cut off by Alphard, before she could really say anything,
"Have you forgotten?" she asked grinning somewhat disturbingly, "Or are you simply pretending you've forgotten?" she reached up, gently cupping the blonde's face. Maria's eyes widened, still confused,
'Woah…WOAH! An extremely attractive woman is stroking my face, what do I do?' she thought, while Alphard had her own thoughts going through her head,
'Is this forgetful bitch REALLY the one causing a love triangle with Canaan and me?' The crowd and President continued to cheer "Love and Peace!" until there was an explosion, followed by multiple others around the whole room. Everyone started to panic, and the blonde fell down, being caught by the other woman. She looked up at her,
"Thank you very much."
"Yeah, sure. Whatever." Alphard replied bluntly.
"Eh?" Maria slightly raised an eyebrow, confused. She looked to the side,
"Ummm…." her mumbling turned back into thoughts, 'Okaaay…Somehow, I feel like this just got reeeally awkward…' She then felt herself get knocked down by someone rushing by. She got back up on her feet, to see the woman calmly walking away in the crowd of panicking people,
"Wait!" she yelled, only to be distracted by the animation on the big screen at the front of the room. After the animation was all like,
"Stay in here, or you'll die." Maria decided to think back to what had happened a moment ago,
'…Holy SHIT, that woman is sexy!'
Meanwhile
Canaan was running through the sewers, recalling a phone call in which Yuri had told her they lead to the International Convention Center. As she ran to get to her destination, she only thought one thing,
'I swear! What is Alphard trying to pull THIS time?'
0000000000000
Afterwards, Alphard entered the control room, back in her usual outfit, causing Liang to stop blowing things up with her red wii nunchuck. She asked Cummings how things were going, to which he replied things were going according to plan.
"Nee-sama," Liang said, as if proud of herself, "I have prepared some entertainment of the utmost quality." her grin turning sinister.
"Oh." Alphard replied, not very interested, "That's nice." One thought went through her head, 'Why did I ever have to meet this mentally unstable freak?'
0000000000000
Back in the room where the conference was held, Maria was still thinking about the woman from earlier, despite all the chaos going on,
'Hmmm…I wonder what her name is…? She acted like she knew me…Oh no! What if she does, and she knows that I still sleep with a night light, and watch kiddy shows just for fun!?'She was so caught up in her thoughts, she didn't notice two armed men were there to get her, after shooting two other ones right in front of everyone,
'Holy shit!' Maria thought, after gasping, 'I am SOO going to die!'
0000000000000
Maria walked into the control room, her hands tied behind her back. Liang got up, and ran over to her, exclaiming in an excited voice,
"Welcome, Maria Osawa! Thank you for coming!" she clasped her thands together, grinning.
"Who are you!?" Maria spoke, without thinking "You look like you're crazy! I can't deal with crazy people!" Liang's grin dropped into a frown, and she spun around dramatically, kicking the blonde straight down, onto the ground.
'HOLY FREAK!' Maria thought, as she stayed there, trembling. A phone landed next to her, and she felt herself pulled up by her hair.
"Bitch! You're one to talk about mental problems." she heard Liang say, "I'm not so crazy, I can't dial a number correctly. Here, I'll call your friend Canaan, so she knows you've been captured, and can come try to rescue you."
Meanwhile
Canaan looked at her phone to see that she was getting a call, as she continued running,
"Oh, Maria." she mumbled to herself, "I swear, if it ends up being someone else, because she got caught…" she answered it, yelling,
"Maria!"
"This is a call for a Miss Canaan from the International Convention Center, which is currently trembling in fear at a terrorist threat."
"MOTHERFU-"
0000000000000
"Here, say something, antenna head." Liang held the phone to Maria, but she refused to speak,
'Bitch! You'll regret ever calling me-' her thoughts were cut off by being hit again. The phone landed next to her, and she heard Canaan's voice,
"Maria?! Maria, what happened?" Tears started to trickle down her face,
"Canaan…Holy crap, Canaan…I was taking pictures, until this sexy woman, who was acting like she knew me, came up to me, but I didn't know her. Then there were all these explosions, and she acted like she'd lost interest in me, and calmly walked away. Then I started to think 'What if she really does know me?' and I started to panic, because she might know how I still sleep with a night light and watch kiddy shows just for fun. Then these two men came and shot these two other guys, and now I'm here, with this crazy girl who's trying to say I have problems, when SHE'S obviously the one with problems!"
"…Uhh…" Canaan replied on the phone, "…Maria…?" Alphard just stared at the blonde girl on the ground,
'…She does realize that I'M that woman, right…?' she thought as the girl continued on about retelling what had happened,
"Canaan, I've learned a valuable lesson from all of this! Don't fall for sexy women! Because if you do, you'll be too caught up in your thoughts, that you won't realize people coming to kidnap you! Especially if they're unnaturally calm in situations like explosions everywhere! Just don't fall for them!"
'…Really?' Alphard thought, 'I can get my rival in love to fall for me, but not the girl I actually want?'
"Enough!" Liang kicked the rambling girl. She turned around to face Alphard, "Nee-sama! Please let me kill this girl! She's way crazier than I've EVER been!"
'I'm tempted to agree with her…' Alphard thought, not replying.
"Hello!" Canaan spoke again, "I'm STILL here!" Liang picked up the phone,
"Don't worry, Canaan. Honestly, I'm seriously thinking about doing you a favor right-"
"Just shut up." Canaan cut the other girl off, "This is way too much bull shit for one day. I mean, seriously! You guys have crossed the line this time! It was an ANTI-terrorism conference! Give me a break!"
"THAT'S THE POINT OF IRONY, STUPID BITCH!" Liang screamed, throwing the phone directly at the blonde's head, and kicking her again. Maria cringed,
'WTF did I do?!'
"What are you trying to do?" Alphard asked, ands Liang turned around,
"Get your love!"
"Get my love…?" Alphard repeated.
"Yes, nee-sama!" Liang answered honestly. Alphard just stared at her, thinking,
'Bitch, please. I'd rather be with that girl on the ground than you. And she's my rival in love.' Maria yelled towards the phone,
"Canaan! Don't come! If you do, they'll tie you up, and try to say that YOU have problems, when THEY'RE the ones with problems!"
'…Then again…' Alphard conituned from her previous thoughts. Liang shot near the girl, next to the phone. She pressed her foot against the blonde's shoulder,
"You think WE have problems?! At least we have basic logic! Your whole explanation to her made absolutely NO sense at all!" she aimed her gun, and Canaan heard a bullet shot,
0000000000000
"Maria!" she continued to run, "…Your explanation really DIDN'T make any sense at all!"
0000000000000
Maria turned her head to look behind her,
'Woah…Sudden awkward silence…' Alphard had her gun pointed at Liang, indicating she had shot the other girl's gun out of her hand. Maria saw that the phone was destroyed too somehow. Liang turned around, and Alphard spoke,
"If anyone's going to kill her, it's going to be me." Liang quckily cast her anger aside,
"Understood." she walked away to the side.
'Gosh…' Maria thought, 'She's freaking bipolar too?! Just great!' she looked at the woman who had just saved her,
"Umm…"
"Make no mistake." Alphard said, leaning against the desk, "As much as I'd like to, I'm not going to kill you. At least not yet." The blonde girl looked to the side, then up at the monitors, one showing a man starting to die. She watched, along with many others, as his life ended. Once his body collapsed on the floor, she spoke,
"It can't be! This is…"
"As you can see…" Alphard smirked, and looked back up, towards the monitor, "…it's the Ua virus." After saying that simple explanation, her words turned back into thoughts, and her smirked fell down into a frown, 'Dammit, I didn't get to talk to Canaan on the phone…"
Meanwhile
Three armed men, working with Alphard, were standing around, when Canaan suddenly jumped down, out of the ceiling,
"Shit just got real, damn bastards!" she landed on the ground, and immediately started running. They all opened fire on her, only to either miss completely, or shoot each other instead.
'Please,' Canaan thought, 'Even if I DIDN'T have synesthesia, I'd still be able to dodge these damn things. That's how bad your aim is.' she continued running, eyes red. Using her powers, she found where Maria was, and started running that way.
0000000000000
Everyone in the control room watched as Canaan was making her way easily through all the guards.
'That's right, Canaan…' Alphard thought, staring at the girl intensely, 'Keep running…With every step you take, you get closer and closer to me…' she was pulled out of her thoughts by Liang walking towards the door,
"What do you think you're doing?" she asked, not taking her eyes off the monitors. Liang stopped, and looked at the woman sitting in the chair,
"Canaan is here." she said, "And you're not even attempting to do anything. It's almost as if you're waiting for her to get here."
"Do as you like." Alphard said.
"Do as I like?" Liang repeated.
"I can't concentrate on watching Canaan with you around anyway." The calm woman stated bluntly. Liang went into major freak mode, and shot bullets from her BB gun at a screen that had Canaan on it, until she had none left. Then she threw the gun at Cummings's head, and ran out, screaming.
'Yeah…' Maria thought, 'I have problems…'
0000000000000
Watching the President along with others, arguing with each other on the monitor, Alphard just sat there, with her arms crossed.
"You can hear us can't you, you cowardly terrorists?" the President said, assuming he could be heard by whoever was resonsible for everything, "What are your demands? If we don't know each other, we can't solve anything!"
"Hmph." Alphard smirked. Maria looked over at her, deciding to try and be brave and awesome,
"Tell me!" she demanded, "Why did you release the Ua virus?" Alphard's face turned confused for a slight second, then she glared, looking at the blonde,
"Did you really forget?" she got up from her chair.
'Oh hell!' Maria thought, 'Why'd I have to open my big mou-' Alphard kicked her harshly into the wall.
'OH SHIT!' Maria screamed in her head, 'Now SHE'S hurting me unnecessarily!' she coughed a few times before she felt a foot placed roughly on her head.
"A woman like you, brimming with deceit…" Alphard voiced, "What does Canaan see in you?" Maria glanced up at the woman, to see to her glaring down at her,
"Canaan? What do you mean…?" she asked, confused. Alphard said nothing, and walked to the desk, picking up the phone,
"Mr. President, aren't you cold?" she watched all of them on the montior, and the President gasped,
"A woman?" Alphard sat back down in the chair,
"The Under-Secretary's body must be smelling right about now. I took the liberty of turning the temperature down."
"So, you finally feel like talking?" the President asked, "Who are you?"
"Just someone trying to get the attention of a girl, who has yet to accept my feelings for her." Both rooms went silent.
0000000000000
Meanwhile, elsewhere in the building, Canaan suddenly sneezed.
0000000000000
After a moment of awkward silence, Alphard explained how a giant bomb was going to be dropped on all of them soon, and hung up the phone. Maria looked at the dark haired woman,
"…What is Canaan to you?"
"Well," Alphard answered, "to me, she is a beautiful, amazing girl, who I love. However she seems to not exactly return my feelings, and it's all because of you." she turned to look at the other girl. Maria's eyes widened,
'Oh. My. Gosh.' she thought, 'I just now realized she's that sexy woman!'
Meanwhile
'Holy freak!' Canaan thought, hiding behind the corner of a wall for cover, while people shot at her, 'I try! And I try! If I can't get by with avoiding harming them, then I'M FREAKING HARMING THEM!' she ran around the corner, shooting her gun.
0000000000000
Back in the control room, Alphard grinned, watching the white haired girl,
"Yes, Canaan, that's right…Keep getting frustrated and pissed off…I love it when you're frustrated and pissed off…"
"uhh…" Maria murmured more to herself, uncomfortably.
"Honored Alphard," Cummings walked up to her desk, "it is time."
"All right." Alphard stood up, and walked towards the door with the man.
'Oh, HELL NO!' Maria thought, then using her voice, "Wait!" Alphard turned back to look at her, grinning,
"It pains me to leave, when my Canaan is nearly here, but in order for me to live and see her another day, I have to go now. But personally, I don't really care what happens to you." She walked out, leaving the blonde alone. Maria just stared at the now closed door,
"…That bitch." Another door opened, and a man stumbled in backwards, getting shot. His gun went off and shot the lights out, as he fell dead to the ground. Maria looked over at the door to see Canaan walking in, clearly pissed off, and eyes glowing red,
"WHERE. THE. FREAK. IS. THAT. BITCH." Canaan demanded more than asked. Maria smiled, her eyes filling with tears.
0000000000000
Alphard walked by two of her men,
"We're going." she said simply. They followed, asking no questions.
"Honored Alphard," Cummings asked, "What of Liang-Chi?"
"There's no time." the woman responded bluntly.
"We just leave her?" the man asked in disbelief.
"No. We get rid of her." Alphard's words turned into thoughts, 'Finally…'
Meanwhile
"DAMMIT ALL, YURI!" Canaan screamed into her phone, typing frantically on the keyboard, "YOU'RE NO HELP AT ALL!" She suddenly looked up, red eyes wide, "They dropped it…THEY'VE ACTUALLY DROPPED IT!" Yuri replied on the phone, typing on the keyboard where she was,
"We should have about forty seconds to impact. Concentrate."
"THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!" Canaan continued screaming into her phone, "YOU'RE NOT ABOUT TO BE BLOWN UP BY A HUGE BOMB! Tch. Screw this." Her eyes started glowing even more, "I'll fix it myself…" she focused on the computers, looking for an opening, and when she found one, she took it,
"THERE MOTHERF-"
0000000000000
Outside, the bomb changed course, and missed it's target.
0000000000000
Back in the control room, Maria was hugging Canaan, saying how awesome she was. Canaan just smiled, and accpeted the series of hugs. Maria then ruined the moment, without even thinking about it,
"Oh, Canaan! Remember that sexy woman I told you about? Well, I think she seems to really like you. I think her name was…Alphard?" Canaan stood straight up, pulling Maria by her arm,
"We are going back outside for fresh air!" she said a bit angrily, "And NEVER mention her again."
0000000000000
Once they got outside, the blonde girl started dancing around,
"We are alive!" she exclaimed up towards the sky. Canaan suddenly felt weak, and covered one of her eyes.
"Oh…shit…" she grunted, "…Is this what colors really look like…Why?" she fell to her knees, "…Why are they so…so...ugly?" and with that, she passed out.
This took so long to write…But I actually had fun writing it XD A lot longer than I thought it would be, but I guess that's what happens when you base it on two episodes rather than only one. Hope you enjoyed it~ Please review if you did :D Sorry, I didn't mean to make Maria seem like such an idiot XD I just wrote what I thought would be random and funny XD And I don't know about you, but I personally liked all of the meanwhiles with Canaan XD
