The Hartman Chronicles Season 2 Chapter 4
I nodded and headed back to the stands, the other girls followed me. The track and field event soon went underway and for the rest of the time I smiled. I then reassured myself that Abbie would be a great choice and I went back to watching the track meet. The track meet proceeded as normal and was soon over. As we began to walk exit the stands Abbie ran up to us.
"Oh yeah" I smiled "Come on Abbie let's get back to the café. Ryou's probably waiting for us"
The girls nodded and we soon went to the café. When we got there and opened the door Ryou stood holding an earthen brown French maid outfit. It also had various white shamanistic marks on it. Ryou then gave it to Abbie.
"How does it look?" Ryou asked
Abbie smiled as she looked at it "It looks great!"
"Alright then back to work" Ryou said "Abbie get dressed and start serving tables"
Abbie nodded and went to the dressing room. I then headed to the kitchen and began to make treats. Pretty soon my stomach began to growl.
"Man I need something to eat" I said "Hey…maybe the Mew Mews and I could go out to eat! Yeah I'll have to ask them though"
I then headed outside and called to the café.
"Hey guys!" I exclaimed "Do any of you want to go out to eat when work is over?"
"Sure!" They all yelled back
"Great!" I shot back "I know of an American restaurant nearby!"
"Cool!" Kyoto said "I can't wait to try American food!"
Lisa sighed "In all its fat-filled glory…"
"Hey" I yelled back "You're from Texas you should be used to it by now!"
"Very Funny!" Lisa yelled, angrily and in her southern twang.
"Anyways I'll meet you guys in the café room floor when work is over!" I said as I retreated to the kitchen of solitude
After more hours and thousands of treats made it was finally time for work to be over. I walked outside and met the girls.
"You all ready?" I smiled
The girls nodded and we headed out for the restaurant. After our long walk we arrived at our destination. We went inside and got a seat. The restaurant was a like the sports bars in Brooklyn: Smoke-filled, noisy, and had skimpy dressed waitresses. My group took a seat at a table and a waitress soon came up to us.
"What do you want to drink?" She asked
"We'll just have water" I said, the waitress nodded and went back to get the water"
I then heard some commotion in the sports bar. There two twenty-six year old men were harassing a 14 year old girl. The girl had dark green eyes and blonde hair that went to her shoulders, as well as bangs. The girl was also wearing a black T-Shirt over a white long sleeved shirt; she had only black slacks as well as black and white shoes.
"Listen girly" The first man said "You're coming home with us tonight, like it or not."
The second man smiled "Now be a good girl before we have to take you out back"
"Get away from me you perverts!" The girl yelled
I looked at the others "Listen I got to go take care of something"
I then got up and headed toward the two males. I then tapped them on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, what are you doing to this girl?" I asked
"None of your businesses" The first man said
"Oh really?" I chuckled, I then threw my fist into the first man's face "Leave her alone!"
The first man hit the ground but the second man turn around and landed a punch to my stomach. The girl took advantage of this moment and landed a blow to the man's spine. She then tripped him and proceeded to kick him several times in the rib cage. The two men then slinked away.
"Thanks" The girl smiled "I need to let some of my frustration loose"
"No problem" I then looked at her pants, they had several holes in them "What happened?"
"I've been wearing these jeans for several years now" She said
"Just those jeans?" I said
"I am a street rat" The girl snapped. I then looked at one of the holes of her pants. The hole was located near the upper right thigh. There a Mew mark was, it was a hammer with wings.
"Well you might be another animal" I said "Seeing as you're a Mew Mew"
The girl laughed "And what are you the king of France?"
"Listen me and some of my friends are here, you want to sit with us?" I said, kindly
The girl shrugged "As long as you don't try to rape me I'm fine"
I nodded "Fair deal"
The girl and I took a seat at the table.
"So what is your name?" I asked
"Nashi Anki" The girl said "Yours?"
"Adrian Hartman" I smiled, I then introduced her to the others
"You all look like nice folk" She smiled "You mind if I stay at one of your houses for the night?"
"Well you can stay with me at the café" I said
"Sounds good" Nashi nodded
The waitress came with our drinks and we soon ordered are food.
"So what were those two men talking about, you know the bringing you home thing" I said
Nashi rolled her eyes "If you MUST know, I'm a street rat, I have no mom, no dad, or if I do I never found them. I grew up on the streets my entire life. Well I some how got into school…but that is besides the point. Those two guys were probably horny and I was the nearest person available. A LOT of guys around here tend to think I'm an easy target"
"Ah" I said, our food soon came, we dug in, after we finished I paid for the meal and our group soon walked out of the restaurant. Nashi decided to come along too.
"So Adrian" She said "Why do you think I'm a Mew Mew?"
"The mark on your thigh" I said
"THAT mark? The one I've been teased about so much?" Nashi said
"Yeah that one" I said
Nashi sighed "Well if I am a Mew Mew, I guess it would be better than the street life"
"Yeah" I said
"Maybe I could actually find a place to live" Nashi said
I nodded, we soon came to the café.
"Let me guess the name of the guy who owns this place is Ken" Nashi laughed
"No his name is Ryou" Kyoto said
"It's called sarcasm" Nashi said "Learn about it"
We then entered the face and Ryou looked at Nashi.
"Another Mew Mew?" He sighed and then eyed Nashi up and down, he soon found the mark and nodded "Follow me please"
Ryou then walked down the hall, Nashi then grabbed my arm.
"You're coming with me to make sure this guy doesn't try to make any stupid moves on me" She said
We soon came to the back room and the machine.
"What is that?" Nashi asked
"You'll find out shortly" Ryou said, he then pointed to a spot in front of the machine "Stand there"
Nashi nodded and stood where Ryou and had told her to stand. I walked next to Ryou and he pulled a lever. A red beam shot out and hit Nashi. I soon started to black out. The next thing I knew I was in a mountain range. Nashi was sitting down near a nest of rabbits.
"I always have liked these animals" Nashi smiled "I wonder what it would be like if I was a rabbit"
A rabbit then hopped over to her and looked at her.
"Hello there" Nashi smiled "And what is your name? You probably can't tell me but I wonder what it is"
The bunny then looked at her.
"Sweet Jesus!" She exclaimed in shock "Did you just talk!"
The rabbit looked at her again
"So why can I understand you?" Nashi asked
The rabbit kept looking at her
"What do you mean I'm a Mew Mew?" Nashi said in a mix of excitement and shock
The rabbit looked at her
"That's all it'll take, well then, hop on in" Nashi smiled
The rabbit nodded and hopped into her stomach. I soon woke up in the real world. Nashi shook her head and then check her pants.
"Good, nothing's been unzipped" She smiled "Well it looks as if you were right, I am a Mew Mew"
I looked at Ryou "You mind if she stays here?"
"Does she have a home?" Ryou asked
"I'm a street rat" Nashi smiled
Ryou sighed "Alright, she can stay, but she's sharing a room with you Adrian"
"Oh this is going to be fun" Nashi smirked
All of a sudden the Chimera alarm went off. Nashi covered her ears as Ryou took out a PDA.
"Looks like there is an attack at an old, abandoned temple" Ryou said
"Why would anyone attack a place like that?" Nashi asked
"I don't know but since you're a Mew Mew now you're going to have to stop it" Ryou said
I looked at Nashi and smiled "Let's go then"
Nashi nodded and we soon ran to the main room of the café.
"We've got a Chimera attack people" I said "Let's get going!"
The girls nodded
"Where exactly?" Momo asked
"At some abandoned temple" I said
"I know of one in the mountains nearby" Momo said
"Let's head there then" I said
The girls all nodded and we took off. We soon came to the old temple, we walked inside and came to the main room. It looked like an arena with four pillars in the corners. Targets and training dummies were littered about, as if someone had been practicing here. We heard a low growling and we looked at the huge hallways. In one of them was a pair of green cat eyes. I then slammed my fists together
"Get Ready!" I said as I went into my mew form. The other girls did the same. That was except for Nashi.
The eyes soon came out of the front hallway came a tiger cataur. Now a cataur is like a centaur only the thing is all cat. The cataur then walked to the center of the room and slammed something down. It looked like Nightwolf.
"He's dead" The cataur laughed "And soon you all will be meeting him in the afterlife!"
The cataur then conjured a bow and arrow. It then placed the arrow onto the bow and drew back. As it fire the arrow Lavender used her attack.
"Ribbon Lavender shot!" She exclaimed as she shot a pink, heart shaped pellet at the arrow. The two attacks hit each other and both the arrow and the pellet fell to the ground.
"Sour Lemon Howl!" Lisa exclaimed as she howled into her microphone. The sound traveled out and shot past the cataur. The cataur covered his ears and winced in pain Kyoto took this moment to dash forward.
"Ribbon" She said as she twirled her bamboo staff around, hitting the cataur several times
"Apple" Kyoto said as she smack the cataur upside the head
"Strike!" She said as she jumped into the air, her staff them slammed into the head of the cataur, casing it to roar in pain.
I looked at Abbie "You're next"
Abbie nodded and drew a wolf fang from her neckale "Ribbon Truffle Strike!"
The wolf fang Abbie held then turn into a spear and she threw it at the cataur. It hit the beast right in the chest. The spear the dislodged itself and went back to Abbie. I looked at Momo and nodded. I then sent out my Siberian Cannon and Momo sent out her Peach Blossom. Our attacks then combined into a fireball with half orange fire and half blue fire. The attack hit the cataur but he looked nearly beat. He then tried to grab one of us, but we all dodged. Well everyone except Nashi, as she was held the cataur looked at her.
"Why havn't you transformed weakling?" The cataur laughed
Nashi looked at the cataur with anger in her eyes "I'll make you regret saying that!"
She then wiggled out of the cataur's grip and yelled
"Mew Nashi Metamorphosis!" Nashi yelled
Nashi's hair became a dirty blonde and her eyes turned amber, black bunny ears then shot out from her head. Her attire then became mud brown and turned into a dress similar to Aki's. Her shoes became dark brown boots that went up to the middle of her knees. Then a hammer appear, and when I saw hammer I mean a freaking huge hammer! It was almost the size of me! It had a huge hammer head that was flat on both sides. And on those flat sides was a big pink heart. Nashi grasped the hammer.
"Ribbon Nashi" She said as she smacked the cataur into the air, as the cataur fell down she hit him in the spine with her hammer "Slam!"
The cataur went flying into the air and smashed against the temple wall. It then hit the ground.
"That is what you get for underestimating me" Nashi laughed
The cataur then began to glow white. It soon turned into a lion cub and a seventeen year old human male. I rushed over to Nightwolf's "corpse" and shook it.
"Nightwolf! Dude! Are you alive!" I yelled
Nightwolf stirred "The wonders of knowing how to play dead"
"Thank god you're alright!" I exclaimed
"Just barley" Nightwolf said "I think I'm going to need treatment"
"For what?" I asked
"Oh nothing major" Nightwolf said. He then stumbled up, get grabbed his thigh and howled in pain.
"Listen Nightwolf" I said "Why don't you come home with us, we'll help you get better"
Nightwolf nodded "I guess, seeing as this temple lacks proper medical equipment"
"And seeing as Ryou is a scientific genius" I smiled, I then put Nightwolf's hand over my shoulder, just then Nightwolf demorphed I looked at him in shock.
"You're…You're…" I said, the shock overwhelmed me for little bit, there was no way that Nightwolf could have been him…no way at all!
