Yo minna, you know the name. For those that don't, it's Kirei Ryuusei! Coming at ya with chapter 2! Now I remember why I was interested in making Johan have this double life, because he was 'absent' on the ship! Weird ne? Oh, disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh GX otherwise I would've had Judai and Johan together in it!
Chrisandersenyuki: It takes place after GX ends. As for au…well if you consider me having OCs not being alternate universe, then no.
Felina Snow: Well, I can only hope I can sate your excitement. Judai? What will he think? Hm…I'll leave that to your imagination for now.
Luvingrandomness: I'm glad that I'm making an interesting story.
Without further adieu, I give you chapter 2! (Hey that rhymed!)
~~~~~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~~~~~
Johan sighed as he settled into a eggshell-shaped chair within back of cockpit. A woman appearing no older than her late 20's unstrapped herself and walked to the chair. Her legs bent for her hazel eyes to meet Johan's sea-green spheres. "Something wrong, Johan?"
The teenager debated within his mind whether he should voice his worries. After an awkward silence settled between the two he answered, "I'm…concerned about having…a guest…at the house."
"A guest?" the lady tilted her head where strands of her purple locks strayed to her face. "Would this 'guest' be the holder of Haou, duelist that you can't ever defeat, and your boyfriend, Judai Yuki?"
A sweat drop formed on the boy's head. To him, the way Judai was addressed seemed like how medieval heroes speak of their achievements. Johan admitted, "Yeah…I want…I want…to propose to him so I want Judai to meet…you all. But, I'm nervous about him coming over, Leanne."
"You must really be concerned if you're repeat stumbling over your words like that. Invite him over, you act like we're strange." Johan gave an 'are-you-kidding?' look. The two glanced around the area of the hovercraft they were boarded. Leanne sweat dropped, "Right~~~"
From the front of the cockpit a masculine voice called, "We are at the destination."
A combination of beeping sounded before a buckle came undone. From the pilot's seat emerged a man of a dark complexion and husky build. His hair was done in a low-cut and a pair of dark-tinted sunglasses obscured his eyes.
Jazzlyn showed up from behind him, "Johan, Devi and Leanne are going to find a way to seal up the source of the disturbance. And…Devi's wants us to go after a band a ghouls that are being…troublesome. Isn't that great?"
"If you're talking about the ones that haunt some area, I'm not going." the turquoise-haired guy stated.
"Well, then," his twin smiled, "go home while I get to deal with all the human-eating ghouls all on my own!"
She dashed out the room. Johan stared dumbfounded at where his sister disappeared and to Devi and Leanne stood. Jazzlyn had gone to out do him on the mission again! When that realization struck, he sprinted down the hall. He noticed a jacket and parts of Jazzlyn's pants, enough that she's wearing shorts.
Johan wondered what made Jazz strip out of some of her clothes. Scratching his head, the duelist wracked his brain for answers. They were chasing ghouls, beings that could transform into animals while stronger ones are able to take the form of humans. Ghouls only reside within Arabic countries. Meaning…
"Dammit!" he cursed, "We're in f**king desert!"
Promptly he took off his jacket and used the buckles on the side of his pants to hold them as shorts, stopping at his knees. Devi and Leanne caught up, giving him quick words of caution. Then Johan took for the desert.
If it weren't obvious by the appearance, Johan nor Jazzlyn were Devi and Leanne's children. In truth the two weren't blood relatives to the twins. Devi and Leanne were their godparents and their real parents' former teammates. After an incident, their parents went missing and the then 'just a friend' duo took the two when they were 10.
Johan recalled how he and Jazzlyn gotten them together. A shifting of sand alerted the teen of another presence. He turned to see a girl. Her clothes appeared like tatters and her browned skin streaked with dirt yet she appeared beautiful (not that Johan noticed, Judai's the only beautiful person to him!) She stumbled into his chest. "Please…would you please…help me…"
Johan placed his hands on the girl's shoulders to stabilize her, "Tell me, just how many guys have you seduced with this form?"
The stranded girl's chestnut hair shielded her eyes, "So, you're not as gullible as the others. Congrats, human."
A mouth comparable to that of a shark extended towards the green-eyed guy. Johan kicked the girl's chest before flipping back to avoid being bitten. His hand slipped to one of the holsters strapped on both sides of his legs. Johan laughed, " 'Human'! 'Human'! it's like a horror movie! Are you going to try and eat my brains next?"
The creature didn't share his sentiments as claws appeared and the ghoul lunged forward. Johan crouched for the humanoid rush right above him. Then he grabbed its arm and a leg to flip the ghoul onto the ground. Dazed, the ghoul absently rubbed it's head before readying to attack once more. This time Johan used the momentum to force it under himself while he grasped the disguised creature's waist. Lifting tit in the air wasn't difficult for him and neither was dropping it since Johan slammed the razor-toothed ghoul into the ground (1).
Johan's boot stepped onto it's chest. A sleek silver and black gun cocked at the ghoul's head. A stony expression replaced Johan's jovial face. In a tight, agitated tone became his voice, "I really do not have all day. I'm giving you a choice, either stop devouring living humans or die."
"You think you're so strong, I'll kill you human!" it struggled as it struggled under Johan's hold. "Kill you! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
KA-BLAM!
Screaming ceased as the ghouls fell limp. A casing plummeted onto the sandy ground. The corpse then seemed to decay and disappear in wisps of smoke. Johan sighed before placing his gun in it's holster. He checked his wrist WATCH (2) to find the location of Jazz. Though it wasn't necessary as he heard sounds in the distance.
"Ah, come on! And you're the band that's been so much trouble? I could be you with one hand tied!"
Johan sweat dropped. Unfortunately, that was his sibling. He crossed rows of dunes, heading towards the sounds. The teen ducked in order to avoid a ghoul in the form of a hyena. Johan peered above a mound of windswept sand in time to watch his sister roundhouse an older male-bodied ghoul in the face. He readied his gun and aimed for the fallen shape-shifters at Jazzlyn's feet. All the shots reached the center of the head.
Like the previous ghoul he dealt with, they became decrepit before black smoke carried them off. Jazzlyn looked at him and pouted, "I could've done that myself you know."
Johan scratched his head with the edge of the gun. "I know. Just felt like ruining your fun."
Their WATCH beeped. The girl held out her arm. A screen was projected and they saw Devi. He asked. "Have you finished up yet?"
"Yep, those guys were eager for a 'little girl'." Jazzlyn giggled.
"Return back to the ship, we'll be heading back in oh…5 minutes." Devi ordered before the screen disappeared.
Johan faced a mirror of himself. They only mimicked each others movements as they glanced at their WATCH, a smile gracing their faces, "Does he honestly think we'll go back?"
Johan only shrugged before they started following the trackers that pinpointed their surrogate parents' location., but not before stopping by the ship to pick something up. A haggard building came into their sights. Bricks of rocks constructed the edifice. There were words written in Arabic meaning 'mortuary'. Inside cobwebs decorated the walls while coffins lie cracked open. Stenches of the dead came to Johan and Jazzlyn's noses.
Grunts and crashing sounded from a corner where a spiraling staircase led downwards. Both twins descended as silently as the rickety stairs would allow. The dim lighting of torches came into their view. Below them were the other PAD attempting to fend off the swarm of ghouls.
Jazzlyn turned to her brother. He gave a curt nod before unhooking the 'something' he picked up and placing the edge of it over the railing. Jazzlyn crawled further down and tossed pellets that created a smoke screen. A roar of confusion and surprise overwhelmed the mass trapped in the smoke. That only made Johan's job easier. His eyes peered through the telescopic sight. A bullet flew into the cover before a scream rang. The casing fell, only to remain floating in mid-air. This repetition continued, until footsteps joined them on the stairwell.
"Let's get out of here, we set the detonators for 20 seconds." Leanne informed.
Jazzlyn and Johan nodded. The girl released her psychic hold on the casings, letting them fall on the rusty metal of the stairs. The boy placed the strap to the sniper rifle on his back. They raced up the stairs and out the mortuary before a dull BOOM was heard. The outside structure hadn't been damaged. Only the escape way had been destroyed, leaving the ghouls trapped inside.
What they just did was a typical mission. Usually they were dispatched dealt with 'occurrences' that harmed others, like the ghouls. The mortuary was barely a mile from a major city. Another team was sent to the city since ghouls have escaped there. If left unchecked, they would've only continued going around devouring humans.
"So," Leanne piped when they returned to their ship, "who's up for Moroccan?"
It was also a typical Andersen 'family night'.
~~~~~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~~~~~
Night descended as the hovercraft drifted on autopilot. The Andersen family gathered in the lounge. The room, unlike most of the room in the ship, was furbished like a normal room.
They sat on the floor or on cushions around their low table. On the table sat tagine and sfenj (3-4) along with empty and half-full plates. Everyone was laughing about the events of the mission. Jazzlyn suddenly brought up, "So~ Johan, when do I get to meet my future in-law?"
Devi spat out his green mint tea, "I-I-In-law? When did this happen?"
The hazel-eyed woman patted his back, trying not only to keep him from choking but calm her husband down. "He hasn't proposed yet, Dev. He wants Judai to meet us and him meet his parents before that happens…Besides, he's turning 20 this year."
"He's too young." the dark-skinned man argued.
Johan interjected, "I don't even know if he'll want to." his twin hid her giggling while he talked. "And if he does, I…I won't marry Judai until I'm certain that I can support us."
Leanne glomped her adoptive son, "Did you listen to that Dev? He's certain in what he's gonna do! Ah, my boy's all grown up!"
Her husband and daughter sweat dropped. The woman tended to have this glomping streak whenever either twin proclaimed or did some action that was mature. Johan would've sweat dropped too if his breath wasn't being strangled by her grip.
Devi stuttered, "L-Leanne?"
"Hm?"
He pointed out at Johan's face turning the color of his hair. "You're suffocating him."
The teal-haired duelist huffed to regain his breath before clearing his throat, "Anyway…I planned for Judai to come next week. I'm not asking for us to hide our job but…please, don't freak him out to soon. Because, I want to be the one to tell him about Echo, PAD, and us."
~~~~~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~AllHailEccentricness~~~~~
That's the end of chapter 2! Sorry if it seems random or something but it's to familiarize you with my characters! I don't know how often I'll be updating since I'm going to Oklahoma this week and going to Hawaii in another couple weeks….
Oh yeah, I have notes. Those are the things in ( ):
1) The move I described is called the 'fire thunder power bomb'. It's a wrestling move (Don't misunderstand, I don't like wrestling, I just saw it used in a manga)
2) W.A.T.C.H: It appears like a futuristic looking watch but it's so much more than that. W.A.T.C.H stands for Weapon And Tool Compression Holder. It's a standard device used by Echo agents. It can perform a multitude of purposing. Some uses:
a) GPS of other agents and ships.
b) container for residues, clothing, etc. left by phenomenon.
c) storage for agents smaller weapons (that's why Johan had to get his sniper rifle, it can't hold it)
d) Echo Database, it provides information on creatures, myths, facts, and incidents that have been written.
e) A laser beam, for when agents get into sticky situations.
3) Tagine is a Moroccan dish, that is basically meat and vegetables simmered into a bowl to tenderness.
4) Sfenj is a Moroccan dessert that is a doughnut that's eaten with either sugar or honey.
Oh, yeah, I'm doing profiles for characters so you can understand them. For actual characters, since I don't know their personal info, I'm making it up, okay? I'm starting with Johan:
Birth date: April 23rd
Age: 19 (soon to be 20)
Blood Type: Type B
Occupation: PAD
Hobbies: Hunting, Dueling, Video Games, Fighting
Likes: Judai, Dueling, Any Spicy Cuisine, Sleeping In
Dislikes: Losing, Ghosts, The Alarm Signal
Dominant Hand: Right-handed
Specializes: Marksmanship, Martial Arts
Weapons: Sniper rifle, Pistol, Kusari-gama (sickle and chain)
Comments: Johan carries that happy-go-lucky personality with him on missions. However, if something does pose a threat to innocent people, he tends to be more serious and cold-hearted. Johan has a fierce sibling rivalry with his twin. Typically this leads to them trying to take down the most opponents. Johan also has an eyesight that's about twice as better than normal vision, making him able to aim even without a telescopic sight (why that is? Not known). When he uses his guns, they're equipped with especially made bullets that are infused with magic and purification properties that disperse, not kill, most targets.
That's all I got, till next time, ja ne!
