Scott vs The Indigo Prophecy: And Other Things Chapter 2: The Beginning, a scott pilgrim fanfic

A/N: It's recommended that you know the basic plot and game play of Indigo Prophecy before you read this story.

Everywhere Scott looked he saw people that were ripe with energy and rightfully so. They had been waiting a good two hours and probably weren't going to be able to wait much longer. Scott sat back in the audience as the light illuminated the center stage and the fans began to chant the lead singer's name.

Ramona! Ramona! Ramona!

Ramona gave the crowd a wicked smile as they all began to count down. "This is for you Scott!" She called out to him in the audience making him smile even wider.

"That's my girlfriend," he said to someone else in the audience.

"Yeah right," the guy said back to him.

"But she is," Scott said, but his voice was drowned out by the sound of the crowd.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Real Emotion: Performed by Ramona Flowers

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

What can I do for you?

Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart

I could see a place that's something like this

Every now and then I don't know what to do

Still I know that I can never go back

But the things I've seen in those hazy dreams

Can't compare to what I'm seeing now

Everything's so different

That it brings me to my knees

"SCOTT PILGRIM!" Someone shouted. Scott spun around and saw Kyle and Ken Katanyanagi standing in the audience gripping swords.

And though I know the world of real emotion has surrounded me

I won't give in to it

Now I know that forward is the only way my heart can go

I hear your voice calling out to me:

"You'll never be alone"

Scott pulled out the power of courage and leapt at the two twins. "Couldn't you have waited until after Ramona's song!" He shouted at them. They deflected his sword strike and jumped through the audience while Scott had to go through it the hard way. They threw several shuriken at Scott, but he blocked every last one of them. He leapt with all his might at the two and went on the attack. Kyle jumped over Scott landing behind him while his brother stayed in front. They attack simultaneously, but Scott stopped Kyle's attack with his sword and Ken's with his hand. Scott could feel the blood trickling down his arm, but fought through his pain. He shoved Kyle back, lifted up Ken's sword, and sliced him across the chest. Ken fell down and tumbled through the levels of the audience. Kyle leapt back at him and tried to stab Scott through the heart. Scott jumped up and landed lightly on Kyle's sword. Before he could react Scott impaled him through the head. Kyle burst into $30 worth of quarters.

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

What can I do for you?

I don't plan on looking back on my old life

I don't ever plan to rely on you

Even if by chance everything should go wrong

You'd come anyway and try to save me

Though from time to time it's an upward climb

All I know is that I must believe

'Cause the truth I'm seeking

Always was inside of me

"You can say that again," Scott said with a smirk.

That's not what she meant, Scott!

And when I find the world of real emotion has surrounded me

The many things that you taught me then

Will always be enough to get me through the pain

Because of you I am strong enough to know I'm not alone

Scott felt a shuriken pierce his shoulder and pulled it out. He looked down and saw Ken waiting for him at the edge of the balcony of the audience. Scott leapt down towards him while the audience got out of his way. Ken leapt onto the edge of the balcony keeping himself expertly balanced. Scott did the same, but almost fell off. Ken attacked Scott, who was trying more so to not fall than defend himself. Ken swung violently and the power of courage went spinning over the edge and out of sight. He tripped Scott up making him lose balance and fall back into the crowd. Ken stepped off the edge and held his sword over his head to strike.

"Hey look! It's Hikaru Utada!" Scott quickly announced to Ken.

Fun Fact: Hikaru Utada was the writer and singer of the main themes for Kingdom Hearts I and Kingdom Hearts II.

"Where! ?" He asked becoming distracted.

"Only in your dreams loser!" Scott yelled, pulled the power of self respect from his chest, and thrust it through Ken's stomach. He gasped and then exploded into $31 in quarters as opposed to his twin's $30.

Fun Fact: Ken was born approximately one minute earlier than Kyle making him older and thus worth more.

And though I know the world of real emotion has surrounded me

I won't give in to it

Now I know that forward is the only way my heart can go

I hear your voice calling out to me:

"You'll never be alone"

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

Ramona finished her song and the audience became ecstatic. Scott waved at Ramona and she stepped on a platform that carried her over to her boyfriend. She gave Scott a deep long kiss and then overlooked everyone cheering for them.

"So this is what you dream about now?" She asked keeping her hands linked around his neck.

"Everything but the Japanese twins. They kind of came out of nowhere," Scott said looking at their remains.

"As much as I'm liking it here Scott I think you should wake up," Ramona said.

"Wake up? I just went to bed a half hour ago."

"Time flies when you kicking butt," Ramona said and kissed Scott again.

Scott jerked awake and rubbed his shaggy hair. He looked at his clock and saw that it was twelve o'clock noon. He'd barely gotten any sleep.

Fun fact: anything less than 13 hours of sleep, even by a second, is only a nap as far as Scott is concerned.

Scott dragged his lazy ass out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

Gas Gauge: overflowing

Everybody hit the deck! He's gonna blow!

There was a mild explosion and then Scott ran out of the bathroom and sealed the door shut so that nothing could escape from within the room. It would filter itself out eventually…hopefully. Putting that little event behind him Scott grabbed the phone and dialed the number of Kimberly Pine.

"What is it Scott?" Kim asked not sounding exactly thrilled to hear his voice.

"There's something that I want to talk to you about. It's about Ramona," he said.

"Listen Scott, if she broke up with you," Kim started.

"No she didn't break up with me!" Scott cut off. "Can we just meet somewhere today?" He asked.

"I'm busy with band practice all today Scott. I'm free tomorrow though."

"Awesome; I'll see you then." Scott hung up and went about his afternoon wake up routine.

Scott Pilgrim

Age 24

Inspiration and hero to slackers everywhere

Scott poured himself some Cheerios and ate them while playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles. He usually had a hard time playing that game, but after being sucked into it (see Scott and Knives vs The Arcade) he found playing it now to be a breeze. After doing that for about an hour he grabbed his jacket and hat and decided to head to the comic book shop. His new favorite graphic novel series just had its 3rd installment published and he's been trying for weeks to get a copy. Yet they always seem to be out. This time though Scott was feeling confident. Absorbed by his own thoughts Scott failed to look where he was going running into…

"Knives."

Knives Chau

Now age 18

Fun fact: don't make her angry. You won't like her when she's angry (see chapter six of Scott Pilgrim and Knives Chau vs. The Arcade).

"Hi Scott," she greeted. "Where are you off to?" She asked.

"Comic book shop. I'm finally getting the third part of my favorite graphic novel series," he said in a determined tone.

"What's it called again?" Knives asked him.

"I forgot, but it's awesome," Scott said. "Where are you going?"

"Nowhere," she lied.

"Off to see your new boyfriend?" Scott guessed.

"Maybe," Knives said.

"Great. I'd like to meet him," Scott said.

"No! You can never see him!" Knives said and sprinted off in the other direction. Scott gave chase and as he did a color wheel appeared in his vision. The colors started flashing and he faltered in matching them in his mind making him crash into garbage can allowing Knives to put some distance between them. Scott was back on his feet and was sprinting even faster at the now 18 year old. Knives ran into oncoming traffic, but that didn't discourage him. He ran into the traffic while matching the color with the color wheel and effectively dodging the incoming traffic as a result. Knives leapt onto one of the cars and then leapt onto the roof of a building. Scott leapt over one of the cars, but faltered on the matching and landed on the hood of another. He rolled off it and painfully stood up. He ran and jumped as high as possible and landed on the roof of the building.

"Knives; I'm sure your new boyfriend can't be that bad," Scott said. As he did there was a quick flash of color, which he failed to match allowing Knives to pull out a smoke bomb and throw it to the ground masking her escape. Scott jumped out of the smoke coughing slightly. Sometimes he just didn't understand that girl.

Later that night

Kim exited the building she, Neil, and Stephen were using as a place to practice their music.

Kim Pine

Scott's ex girlfriend… one of them anyway

Master of the drumsticks

It was very cold now and all Kim wanted to do now was just run home and crawl into her warm bed. Suddenly she heard someone let out a whistle. Kim looked all around, but saw no sign of anyone. She then heard someone chuckling in the darkness. Kim started to walk faster; increasing her speed with every step. Something whizzed past her cheek and plowed into the ground. Kim felt something run down her cheek and rubbed her hand against it. She looked at her hand and saw it was blood. Kim looked at the ground and saw a knife with a note attached to it. The note read:

You can run, but you can't hide.

"Knives! Is that you! ?" Kim called out into the dark, but no one answered her. Kim's breathing started to rapidly increase. She reached into her bag and pulled out her gloves. She put them on and the pulled out her drumsticks. She then cautiously started to walk away trying to keep her wits about her. Suddenly another knife flew past her cheek cutting into it.

"Now they match," the voice said referencing the other mark on her cheek.

"Show yourself you coward!" Kim ordered him.

"Up here!" Kim followed the voice to the roof of a building. She saw a man wearing a dark hooded jacket with a bull's eye on his chest. Kim knew she wouldn't get far unless she took care of this guy now. She ran up to a ladder and climbed it to the top of the three story building. Bullseye grinned at Kim and took a fighting stance. "Let's see what you've got," he taunted. Kim twirled he drumsticks and charged him. She aimed to slit his throat, but he dodged and punched her in the nose. Kim stumbled back, but got herself together. She did a sweep kick knocking him onto his back. Kim went down to stab him, but he rolled out of the way. He kicked Kim in the chin knocking her off the air duct they were on top of and on to the hard surface of the building. Kim sprang up as he reached her again and landed a slice on his chest. He gasped for a second, but quickly dismissed the mark. Kim ducked his kick, but he stopped her next slice and punched her in the wrist making her drop her first drumstick. He quickly stopped the other and knocked that weapon out of that hand as well. He head butted her and hit her in the throat, but she blocked his next punch and kneed him in the gut and then punched him hard in his nose. Bullseye staggered back and could feel that his nose was broken.

"Well if that's the way you want it," he said and did a quick jump kick hitting the off guard Kim in the side of the head. She fell down and he grabbed her by the jacket tossing her into another duct. Kim dodged his next kick making him kick the duct and tried to counterattack, but he elbowed her in the heart and then slammed his head into her's again. Kim felt everything spin for her as she fell down. She heard bull's eye chuckle and then he started to say something else. "You're good girl. I'll give you that, but me," he pulled a card out of his jacket sleeve; "I'm magic." He tossed the card at Kim and it cut slightly into her neck. Kim gasped from the feeling of it cutting into her flesh and then felt Bullseye's hand grip her neck. He hoisted her up and brandished one of his knives. "And now for my next trick," he said and was about to stab her when Kim lashed out and cut into his wrist. He groaned and dropped his knife.

"You're not the only one who's 'magic'," She said spinning around her drumstick that managed to recollect during the fight. She saw her other sick out of the corner of her eye and made a dive for it getting it before Bullseye could knock it away from her.

"Do you really think two silly sticks can help you fight me?" He asked. Kim noticed he was standing close to the edge of the building. She narrowed her eyes and chucked her first stick at him. He smirked at the pathetic effort and lifted up his hand to catch it. However, the stick cut right into his hand making him howl out in pain. "My hand! Look what you did!" He shouted, but was cut off as Kim tackled him over the edge of the building. They fell over and made a hard landing on a dumpster in an alleyway.

Kim could feel her bones rattling as she raised up her head. She was lying on top of Bullseye with her other drumstick still lodged into where his heart was. She yanked it out of him and rolled off the dumpster. She heard him explode and then a plethora of quarters rained down next to her. Kim saw her other drumstick and grabbed it.

Fun Fact: To make sure that no one ever tries to steal her special drumsticks, which she has been using ever since she learned how to play the drum, Kim made a few modifications to them. If you so much as try to grab it the stick will cut into your skin unless you're wearing a special type of glove, which only Kim knows how to create.

Not wanting to hang around for any more of these weirdoes should they show up Kim sprinted off into the darkness. She was completely unaware that she was being watched from another tall building.

"Hmmm. She survived," another hooded man thought. "Perhaps it's time I get a little more elaborate with my plan."

To be continued…

A/N: FYI Bullseye is a Marvel Comics villain for those of you who didn't know. Scott's entire dream sequence was based off the opening of Final Fantasy X-2. So anyway, who could've orchestrated the attack on Kim? Why does Scott want to talk to her? And just who could possibly be Knives boyfriend? More importantly why does she want to keep him a secret from Scott? Keep reading to discover the answers.
