Hopefully I won't take so long 2 review next time!
Anyway on with the next chapter…
The black goop slowly oozed into the building as it creeped over the barracked doors and open cracks in the walls.
Ichigo and Zakuro quickly took out their weapons as the goop soon began to form a puddle and soon the same dark creatures began to immerge from the inky black substance.
"Ichigo, be ready." Zakuro whispered.
"Hai!" Ichigo said as she took out her bell.
No sooner had the girls prepared themselves the goop then began to come forward at an alarming rate.
"Ribbon Strawberry, CHECK!" Ichigo cried.
The beam of energy shot at the creature and soon made a whole right through the middle!
"We did it!" Ichigo cheered.
But the girls victory was cut short as the creature soon regenerated itself and lunged for another attack.
"Ribbon Zakuro Spear!"
The girls continued their attacks with the same continuing results; attack, direct aim, the creatures regenerate, another attack, and so on.
The pattern seemed to continue for the longest time until both Ichigo and Zakuro were forced back-to-back, having no where else to go as the creatures now flooded the room like crazy now coming from the ceilings and walls.
"It looks like this is the end!" Ichigo cried out.
Zakuro then saw perhaps there only way to escape.
"No it's not, Ichigo hold onto me tied!"
Zakuro then launced her whip and aimed for the hole in the ceiling, once she got a good hold, she and Ichigo flewinto the opening.
The creatures soon began to follow the girls as they ran.
"Where to now?"
"The roof-if we make there we have a better chance of escape and maybe we can find a way to at least weaken these things."
"Master, I sence the wolf mew coming and our 'leader' is with her." the evil Mint (get it? LOL!) told her new master.
"Yes, I can sence it too, or at least my creatures can."
"What shall we do my lord?" Lettuce asked as she grinned.
"Like I told you before my minion, you are to kill the wolf mew and bring this Ichigo to me, I at least want to see her face before I kill her too." Dark smirked.
"Gotcha sir!" Pudding saluted.
"But what of the chance Ichigo is the one you are looking for master?" Lettuce asked.
Dark looked at her curiously for a moment before directing his attention back to the buiding all of his creatures were flooding into. "If she is the one, then I suppose her fate will be stalled until my ceremony, after that she will hold no value to me."
"As you wish my king." The three said before they jumped off the building.
Dark looked over the building the other two mews were in and his smile grew very wicked. Before the night was over he knew the other two girls would die and once they were gone he would get rid of his 'current' minions, then no one would ever dare to stand in his way.
Zakuro and Ichigo at last arrived at the very top of the building, both panting and gasping for precious oxygen.
"Okay, now we need to think of a plan for if those creatures come up here!" Ichigo said.
"Oh, why bother looking for them?" a familiar voice rang. "When you have to deal with us!"
Ichigo and Zakuro looked up and they saw Mint, Lettuce, and Pudding all flying down to the rooftop.
"Guys…" Ichigo breathed out, true she knew they were evil, but they were still her friends inside weren't they?
Zakuro held her arm out in front of Ichigo to try and protect her. "Remember Ichigo, they aren't themselves, they're being controlled."
"I know but-"
Just then the door broke down behind them, and the two were shocked to see the creatures all turned into a giant wave of what looked like black ink.
Zakuro and Ichigo readied themselves for an attack when suddenly, their weapons went flying out of their hands!
Ichigo and Zakuro turned to see that Mint had fired an arrow at the two and was smirking. "Oh no, did we knock out your wittle toys." she fake pouted.
The two then looked back at the giant puddle of goop. "Oh don't worry, we won't let either of you get eaten by the goop like we were!" Lettuce spat.
Ichigo felt her heart slowly rip in two. What Lettuce had just said reminded Ichigo of what had happened before, I she had gotten there sooner, if she wasn't late she could've saved her best friends.
"That's right! We at least want you both to suffer before you die!" Pudding giggled.
"All right that's enou-"
"No they're right." Ichigo piped up. Zakuro stared in surpise.
"If I hadn't arrived so late I could have saved you, I could have prevented this!" Ichigo then began to cry.
"Oh yeah, save the water works crybaby and lets get kicking your butts over with!" Mint said as she prepared her arrow.
Zakuro stood her ground unaware that the goop was getting even closer.
"I really am sorry guys." Ichigo mumbled as a tear slipped slowly down her cheek.
The creature then came out of the opening at a fast pase, all Zakuro could do was hope to fight them off.
What no one at the moment noticed was that when Ichigo's tear hit the cold pavement of the roof, the tear seemed to ripple on the ground.
"W-what's happening?" Pudding asked.
"Ichigo…." was all Zakuro murmured.
Pretty soon Ichigo's body began to glow and to everyone's surprise her appearance began to change. She now had small flowing red ribbons on her cat ears, and her dress, her gloves grew to about elbow length and flowed at the fingertips. Her cat bell and ribbon changed to a pinkish color, but what really caught everyone off guard was that Ichigo grew a pair of wings (like the ones on her bell), they were a beautiful pink and they seemed to sparkle as Ichigo's body continued to glow.
(This was stuff I just made up BTW)
Ichigo opened her eyes and gasped at her new appearance.
"W-what happened to me?"
"So she is the one." Lettuce's voice said snapping Ichigo and the others out of their trance.
"What do you mean the one?" Zakuro asked.
"Glad you asked, the master wants us not only to destry Tokyo, but to also find the person who possessed the pure heart that would give our master unbelievable power." Pudding said.
"WHAT?" Zakuro and Ichigo gasped.
"But that still won't save any of you, once our master gets his powers back, no one will be spared." Mint smiled.
"I think it's time to put an end to this noncence." Ichigo cried out. "Strawberry Sceptar!"
From up above Masha was recording everything as Keiichiro and Ryou watched from the café moniters.
"Ryou, look Ichigo's powers have… evolved somehow!"
"I know, I've never seen this before!"
"Ha!" the evil Mint laughed "You really think that same trick will work on us? Mews Attack!"
"Ribbon Lettuce Rush!"
"Ribbon Pudding Ring Inferno!"
"Ribbon Minto Echo!"
The three attacks began to come head on at once and in the back the giant glop monster (LOL!) also charged forward.
"Ichigo, NOW!" Zakuro cried.
"Ribbon Strawberry Heart Shine!" Ichigo cried.
Light once again began to envelope Ichigo as a bright pink ray of light shot out from her new scepter.
The light not only seemed to stop the monster but it seemed to destroy it as seconds later it disintegrated, even the possessed mews attacks didn't stand a chance as the attack not only went through the wave of attacks, but it also hit the three possessed mews head on.
"!" the three girls screamed.
"WE FAILED!" Lettuce screamed.
"WHAT WILL WE TELL THE MASTER?" Mint cried.
"WE CAN'T LOSE!" Pudding wailed.
Zakuro could only stare wide eyed as she watched her once possessed teammates now being slowly dropped to the ground.
Once the girls were on the ground she saw what looked like small shadows glide away before she had a chance to destroy them.
"Darn it!" Zakuro muttered.
Zakuro then heard a few moans and looked to see Mint, Lettuce, and Pudding slowly getting back on their feet.
"Uh, what the heck happened?" Mint asked holding her head.
"I don't know and where are we?" Lettuce asked.
"Wow! Look you guys, were on top of a building, na no da!" Pudding said dancing on the edge.
"Pudding! Get away from there!" Lettuce cried out worried.
"Hey, what happened to those monsters before, what's going on, and-" Mint was interrupted by a moan as Ichigo collapsed onto the ground.
"Ichigo!" All the girls cried.
Zakuro then picked her up as the other girls gathered around her.
"Is one-chan going to be okay?" Pudding asked, her eyes starting to tear up.
Lettuce felt her forehead "Yeah, she'll be fine, she's just tired."
"Huh figures, she gets here late, leaves the fighting to us, and then when it's all over she ends up falling asleep on us."
"Actually, you should be thanking Ichigo, Mint, she just saved you, as well as Lettuce, Pudding and what looks like all of the victims." Zakuro said, her eyes or face never leaving Ichigo's unconscious form.
"Nani?" Lettuce gasped.
"Ichigo-onechan saved us, na no da?" Pudding asked.
"Hai." Zakuro said standing up, an unconscious Ichigo still in her arms.
"I'll tell you all about it on the way back, for now, let's get Ichigo home." and with that the mews began their treck back to the café.
Meanwhile not too far away was Dark, the three shadow forms had finally reached him and bowed before him, what was strange though was that they took on the forms of Mint, Lettuce, and Pudding only they were mainly black and their eyes were red.
"So, Ichigo is the one I've been looking for?" Dark asked outloud.
"Yes my lord, what should we do now?" one of the shadows asked.
Dark smiled. "This Ichigo girl is really starting to intrege me, I think it would be interesting to keep her around for a little longer." he said to himself.
"For now, I still need to wait for Pai to return with his comrades so I can gain more henchman, so in the meantime, I think I will wait for my next attack. I wish to find out more about this Ichigo, she sounds like an interesting foe." Dark then cackled and disappeared into the night.
"Man Kishu, you always take so long getting back!" Tart complained.
"All I was doing was visiting my lovely koneko-chan, if that's a crime I'll gladly take the punishment." Kish said trying to sound noble and poetic.
"Whatever, hey speaking of crime and punishment, where's Pai, he always gets onto u for thing like this."
"Wait… you mean he's not with you?"
"No, I haven't seen him since the fight, I'm getting worried."
"There is no need to worry about my Tart." A voice spoke from the shadows, soon enough Pai revealed his face.
"Pai! We were so worried about you!" Tart cried out.
"Not that worried." Kish grumbled under his breath.
"Well I am here now, and that is what matters." Pai said as he reached for something behind his back..
That's when it seemed to hit Kish, why was Pai acting strange, true he always spoke in a complex vocabulary and he always had a bored tone in his voice, but now he was sounding like he was asleep almost, then Kish saw that Pai's eyes were glossy!
"Taruto, run!"
"Huh?"
Then before either of them saw it coming Pai launced a wind attack.
"FU RAI SAN!"
