A few days passed, and Pai had stayed locked up in his lab. Everytime Koitsuzi asked Kisshu or Taruto about him, they just said they shouldn't bother him, but Sato was persistant on trying to get the eldest alien to come out of his lab and take a break.
"Sato, you need to leave Pai alone." Kisshu scolded the alien, who had been pounding on Pai's door for nearly an hour, demanding he come out and see them.
"But whyyy Ki-Chan? He's been in there for almost a WEEK now!"
"It hasn't been a week, it's only been two days, now come on before Pai gets mad at you. He needs to be left alone, otherwise we'll never get our team of Mews made."
"But.. Ki-Chan!" Sato whines, looking up at Kisshu, with the most innocent and begging expression he could muster.
"No, don't give me that look, Sato. We can't bother him, now c'mon." Kisshu picks up Sato, slinging him over his shoulder and walking away from Pai's door.
Kisshu takes him to the front of the ship where the three aliens have been hanging out with Koitsuzi since Pai became a recluse in his lab two days ago. Kisshu hands Sato to Koitsuzi, who just awkwardly wraps her arms around the young alien.
"Koi-Chan! Ki-Chan won't let me get Pai-Chan out of his room!" Sato whines, looking at Koitsuzi.
"I'm sorry, Sato-Sama, Kisshu-Sama and Taru-Sama said we can't bother him." Koitsuzi explains, shortening Taruto's name as she had begun doing yesterday as it was much simpler that way.
"No, Koi-Chan, not you too!"
"What do you mean, not me too?"
"You're being boring like Ki-Chan and Taru-Kun..."
"Hey..! I'm only following orders, Sato-Sama, it isn't my fault!"
Sato looks away, crossing his arms, cheeks puffed out and tears in his eyes.
"Oh, come on. Sato-Sama, that's not fair! Please don't cry."
Teleportation catches their attention, and they look over to see Pai holding something.
"PAI-CHAN! YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ROOM!" Sato screeches, scrambling away from Koitsuzi and launching himself at Pai.
Pai steps to the side, raising the object in his hand. Now that it's in the air, it's clear it's a needle filled with a red-brown substance.
Sato lands on the ground, head bumping against the wall.
"Ow! Pai-Chan..."
"Sato, I would have been done already had you not been banging on my door all night." Pai mumbles, walking up to Koitsuzi.
"Pai-Sama, it's good to see you again. I'm sorry, we did our best to keep Sato-Sama under control..." Koitsuzi explains, looking at the taller, older, alien.
Pai shrugs, flicking the needle in his hand, and then says, "Let me see your arm, Kawamara-Chan. This will turn you into a Mew."
Koitsuzi hesitantly holds her arm out, watching as Pai pokes the needle into a vein on the inner part of her elbow where nurses generally take the blood.
Pai puts the substance into Koitsuzi's blood stream, and pulls the needle out.
"Feel any different, Koi-Chan?" Sato asks, his eyes wide and his voice full of wonder as he walks over.
"No, not really..." Koitsuzi replies, as she begins feeling a bit weak and fuzzy.
Pai holds his arm out behind her in time to catch her as she passes out.
In Koitsuzi's subconscious...
Koitsuzi looks at the strange dark and pastel world she finds herself in.
"Where am I?" She asks, when a small yelp reaches her ears.
She looks to see a small fluffy, white possum staring at her from a few feet away.
"Aw, it's so cute!" she kneals down and holds her hand out to the small animal, who walks up, sniffing her hand.
It climbs up onto her lap, and nuzzles her stomach. A dark shining light appears there, and suddenly the possum goes inside her.
"...What.. Just happened?" Koitsuzi questions, looking down at her stomach. The light gets brighter, and a weird wind seems to come from it.
Koitsuzi opens her eyes to find she's laying on a couch. She yawns, sitting up.
"What.. Happened?" She looks around, seeing Pai on the chair beside the couch.
"I infused you with the Greater Gliding Possum, and you passed out. From my research, that happened with the original five Mews as well, so you'll be fine. Feel any different?"
"No, not really..."
"Hmm.."
"How long was I out, anyway, Pai-Sama? Where IS everybody?"
"A few hours. It's night, now. They all went to bed. We should do the same."
"Right.. Night, Pai-Sama."
"Good night, Kawamara-Chan."
Pai teleports away, leaving Koitsuzi to walk to her room.
When she gets there, she plops down onto the bed, but finds herself unable to fall asleep. Morning eventually comes, and she finds herself yawning, but a knock on the door means she has to get up.
"Koitsuzi-Chan, Pai has a job for us."
Taruto.
Koitsuzi yawns, sitting up.
"Okay, be there in a minute, Taru-Sama..." she tells him, forcing herself to get up.
"Are you okay, Koitsuzi? You sound.. Really tired."
"I didn't sleep." She mumbles as she presses the button for the door to slide open.
She walks down the corridor to the main room with Taruto, who tells her he thinks it's time for another attack, or to find her second teammate now that Pai knows how to create Mews.
As the door to the room scans them and opens, Koitsuzi finds herself feeling really shy, and she can hear Sato speaking on the other side of the door before it even opens.
"Kawamara-Chan, how're you feeling this morning?" Pai asks her as the door opens and Taruto walks in.
Koitsuzi stands there for a minute before walking in, shrugging with a yawn.
"I'm tired... I didn't get any sleep and wasn't even tired until the sun rose... And either that door is really thin or my hearing magically got better in my sleepless state overnight because I could have sworn I heard Sato-Sama apologizing for making you mad yesterday, Pai-Sama.." Koitsuzi explains, yawning as she walks over to the couch and plops down.
"Ah, excellent. You must've been succesfully infused with the possum, then. They are nocturnal and have excellent hearing, as most animals do." Pai explains, standing up.
"So, Pai, what's the plan for today?" Taruto asks, looking at his older brother.
"Today, Kawamara-Chan is causing some mischeif in the city with Sato, while the three of us search for one of our Mews." Pai says, tossing a small object to Koitsuzi.
She catches it, and looks down at the object. The relatively small faded white-tinted object fits perfectly in her hand. It appears to be some form of crystal, but she can't see through it.
"What's this, Pai-Sama..?" Koitsuzi asks him, looking at it with tired, confused eyes.
"That is how you transform. According to the files you stole for me, the words should come to you. You'll feel like something's calling out to you, or something like that. When I infused you with the possum, I also had a bit of cynaclon DNA mixed in, so you will have our basic powers. Flying, teleportation, and the ability to use the parasites to create chimera animas, even if you're not transformed." Pai watches the tired human as he explains.
"Okay.. I THINK I got that."
"Good. To teleport, just picture in your mind where you want to be, and imagine yourself there. Good luck, Kawamara-Chan." He nods slightly to Koitsuzi before teleporting away with Kisshu and Taruto.
Sato looks at Koitsuzi, grinning.
"Well? Are you ready, Koi-Chan? Where do you want to go? I think we should attack different spots, so they have to split up, that way you don't get attacked by too many on your first time out fighting them! Or we can work together. Whichever! Which do you want to do?" Sato tilts his head, ears twitching as he waits for an answer.
"We can attack the same area, Sato-Sama. The park on the other end of the city sounds good to me. Can you teleport us there, though? I don't want to try without some practice first.."
"Sure, Koi-Chan!" Sato grins and takes Koitsuzi's hand. The air ripples and they find themselves in the park, under a tree.
"Have the words come to you yet, Koi-Chan? I wanna see what you look like!" Sato exclaims, looking up at Koitsuzi, ears twitching.
"Why do your ears twitch like that, Sato-Sama..? I'll transform after you answer, promise."
"Oh, my ears? They do that when I'm excited! And I'm excited! So transform! Pleeeeasssse?" Sato begs, puckering his lip out a bit.
Koitsuzi stares at the crystaline object in her hand, thinking.
After a few moments, and Sato jumping around her excitedly A LOT, finally Koitsuzi feels something.
Without even thinking of the words first, she holds the crystal tight in her fist and holds it up, shouting, "Mew Mew Koitsuzi! Metamorph-A-SIS!"
A white light envelops her, and shines brightly for a few moments. When it finally disappears, she looks at herself in shock.
"Koi-Chan you look so cute! I love your ears! And your tail is so bushy!" Sato jumps excitedly, inspecting Koitsuzi's new form.
She has fluffy, white possum ears poking out where her human ears once were, and black hair styled the same as before. Koitsuzi's eyes had gone from green to red, the pupils resembling a Cynaclon's. Her outfit looked like what he remembered Mew Ichigo's to look like, but the main color on the dress was black instead of light pink, and the dark pink from Mew Ichigo's dress was white on Mew Koitsuzi's, as were the boots. The gloves, unlike Mew Ichigo's, were fingerless and white, and a bushy white and grey tail swished back and forth behind her.
"Where'd the crystal go, Sato-Sama? I can't see it.." Mew Koitsuzi looks in her palm, feels her throat to see if maybe it was on a choker around her neck, like the Mew Mews' pendents.
Sato looks around Mew Koitsuzi, and pauses when he looks behind her.
"Found it! It's on your back! I think it's part of your skin, now, Koi-Chan! You'll never have to worry about losing it, now!" Sato floats in front of her, grinning.
"..I'm going to talk to Pai-Sama about this later. Alright, Sato-Sama, what are we doing?"
"We have to cause some commotion, Koi-Chan," Sato replies, a parasite appearing in his hand, "Imagine one of these appearing, Koi-Chan!"
Mew Koitsuzi obeys and holds her hand out, imagining a parasite appearing there.
It takes a moment of concentration, but soon the parasite appears.
"Good job, Koi-Chan! It took me FOREVER to get that one! Okay, now throw it at what you want it to go into and picture it going into it, okay?" Sato throws his parasite at a passing dog to demonstrate.
Mew Koitsuzi watches as the small dog growls, growing 3x it's size as it's owner shreaks and runs off. It's fur becomes wild and matted, drool dripping from it's mouth as it's teeth become sharper and it's claws become longer. A dark purple marking appears on the dog's chest that looks like two circles and a ~ on each side.
"Your turn, Koi-Chan!" Sato grins at her, waiting.
"Okay, here goes nothing..." Mew Koitsuzi mutters, throwing the parasite at a bird that was flying away, being sure to picture the parasite becoming one with the bird like Sato instructed.
The bird lets out a deafening screach, growing to the size one would imagine a pterodactyl being. It's beak gets bigger, and rows of sharp teeth grow and poke out of the creature's beak. It's talons get bigger, and it flies over to Mew Koitsuzi.
Now that it's closer, Mew Koitsuzi can see that it's left eye has a dark purple fox tail shape in it.
"Nice, Koi-Chan! Let's destroy some stuff!" Sato throws his fist in the air, and the two chimera animas nod, turning around to begin causing havoc.
Mew Koitsuzi grins at the sight, nodding.
"Alright, let's do this," Mew Koitsuzi exclaims, as words come to her, "Hone No Sutaffu!"
A large staff her height appears, clearly a bone from the shape. It had a black ribbon on each end.
She shrugs and follows Sato, who had begun creating energy balls and blasting things away with them.
"Ribon Lettuce RUSH!"
Mew Koitsuzi watches as a blast of water connects with Sato's chimera anima.
"Ichigo-Oneechan, look, another Mew Mew, na no da!"
Mew Koitsuzi looks to the source of the voice to see a young girl dressed in yellow with monkey ears and tail.
"Ribon Hone Ga Natta Jozan!" Mew Koitsuzi flings the bone at the Mews as she shouts the words, although she has no idea where the words came from, because she'd never thought them prior to actually saying them.
She hears the surprise as the bone flies towards them, suddenly multiplying.
They scream as they scramble to get out of the way of the onset of bones flying towards them, but no matter which way they went, the bones would hit them.
Not realizing this, the bones collide with the mews and the ground around them and explode, sending them flying back. One bone bounces off the ground and comes flying back to Mew Koitsuzi, and she catches it with ease.
"Why are you attacking us? We're like you!" the green mew forces herself to stand, and talk to Mew Koitsuzi, who glares at her.
"You're nothing like her, Le-Chan! Koi-Chan is with me!" Sato flies over, grinning from ear to ear as he talks to the Mew.
"A Cyniclon?! What are you doing here? Kisshu, Pai, and Taruto took the Mew Aqua to heal your planet!" the pink one, Ichigo, the yellow one called her, exclaims, staring at the young alien with clear surprise.
"Sato-Sama, maybe we shouldn't bother with them. I thought they were smarter than this..." Mew Koitsuzi mumbles, looking at Sato, who's ears were twitching.
"They might be fun to mess with, Koi-Chan! C'mon, let's mess with them like Ki-Chan and the others told us to!" Sato grins and a small bubble blower-like object appears in his hand.
"What's that, na no da?" the monkey girl asked, curious. She probably couldn't see it very well from where she was.
"Baburu no shogeki o ataeru!" Sato holds the bubble blower out and a bright light shines directly at the five mews.
The cover their eyes quickly, momentarily blinded by the bright light.
"Ribon Hone Ga Natta Jozan!" Mew Koitsuzi flings the bone at the stunned Mews, watching as it multiplies and sends them flying on contact again. She holds her hand out as the original bone comes flying back, and catches it with ease.
"Do you wanna deal with them, Koi-Chan? Or do you want some help? I can help if you want help!"
"I think I can handle them, Sato-Sama. You were right, this may be fun." Mew Koitsuzi smirks, walking over to the Mews.
