Nyah, I'm soo sorry I haven't updated in so long! I'm working on trying to update weekly, but it's hard for me... oh well. Anyhow, disclaimer and then story.
Disclaimer: I do not own MAR, and I do not own any characters in MAR, the only things in this story that I own are Jenna, Andrew, Kemry, Lily, and other assorted OCs and their ARMS and also the storyline.
Luberia Fortress - 3rd Person
Lily woke to a loud clamor downstairs, with much yelling, screaming, and banging of pots.
"Huh-wha?..." she mumbled sleepily, and she stumbled downstairs, still clad in her bloodstained clothes from yesterday that still had rips in the back where her wings had torn through..
"I'm telling you, that girl's dangerous! There could be something about her that'll draw enemies who'll kill us! Or even worse, she could be planning to kill us all in our sleep!" Dorothy's voice, loud, shrill, and angry.
"We won the War Games, we probably won't need to worry about her if she is planning on doing something bad, and plus she's a hottie!" Nanashi's voice was calm, at least until the last part.
"GINTA, PUT THAT DOWN!!! NO, DANNA-SAN, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO--" A shout of pain rang out, then Mrs. Toramizu, who had been the one yelling, groaned. 2 pots and 1 pan clattered to the ground, making an ear-splitting racket.
Lily entered the kitchen to see Danna-san howling and running around, clutching his utterly burnt hand, Koyuki chasing him with Healing/Holy(which was it?) Angel ARM, Nanashi reclining on a chair as Dorothy attempted to beat him to death with the most recent issue of MARTIAN Times, Ginta running around clanging two pots (which still had some porridge in them), Babbo glaring at Ginta with a sleeping cap on, Jenna chasing Ginta because she wanted a pot too, Andrew snoring on the floor, and other assorted things happening quite early in the morning.
Everyone except Ginta and his family and Andrew stopped what they were doing and stared at Lily as though she were a ghost as she stepped in.
"What?" She murmured sleepily.
"You have some explaining to do, missy!" Dorothy cried out.
"Nani? Huh?" Lily rubbed her eyes.
"She means the tattoos on your back, hon." Nanashi grinned as Dorothy smacked him.
"Tattoos? I have tattoos on my back?"
"No duh!" Dorothy was getting really mad now.
Lily twisted around, trying to see her back. "Huh, how odd. I seem be still wearing the clothes I was swimming in... and they're bloody."
"Can't you remember last night?" Koyuki asked while still chasing Danna-san.
"No... what happened? I remember shouting something, and we were at the pool... but I can't remember much else."
"How odd." Babbo grunted slightly before attempting to fall asleep again.
"In any case, you can't walk around in bloody swimwear. You need to find something else to wear!" Dorothy was suddenly exuberant.
"Huh...?" Lily was dragged upstairs by an overexcited Dorothy and Koyuki, with Koyuki yelling back, "Toramizu-san, could you use the Holy ARM on Danna-san?"
Mrs. Toramizu groaned, then grabbed the ARM and activated it. "Holy ARM, Healing Angel!"
Danna-san stopped howling and plonked himself down into a chair. "So."
"So." Mrs. Toramizu remained standing.
"We do need to take some course of action, though. There has to have been some kind of purpose for why those things came last night." Alviss spoke up.
"Probably their purpose has something to do with the tattoos." Alan cleared his head of the hangover-induced fog for a few moments.
"The tattoos and possibly the girl." Gaira mumbled from the cot he was sleeping on.
Alviss nodded. Ginta paused for a moment and said, "She can't be THAT bad. I don't think she'll betray us on purpose."
Their conversation was interrupted by a loud squealing from none other than Dorothy. "FINISHED!!!"
Koyuki and Dorothy practically flew downstairs, dragging Lily behind them. She was dressed in an orange tank top and jeans... Koyuki said, "We found pants made of weird material and told her to wear them!"
Lily sighed. "What were we talking about?"
Alviss watched her warily as he said, "You and the tattoos."
"I have no clue where I got them from, but they definitely were not there before I came here." Lily spoke firmly.
Dorothy was about to respond when suddenly the earth shook, hard enough to cause everyone standing to fall.
"UWAH!" Koyuki cried out as a hole opened up beneath her.
"KOYUKI!" Ginta screamed as he turned around to see her falling.
Then everyone's (besides Koyuki's, since she'd fallen in the hole) attention was diverted as a man broke through the wall, shouting "Weapon ARM, Poseidon's Trident!" He slammed it into the ground and the ground shook again. (1)
"Who are you?" Nanashi demanded, suddenly at the front of the group, standing a few feet away from the man.
"Me? A stranger.' The man smirked as Galian and several other people rushed down. "Joy, more prey for the master!"
The man looked quite pleased, and strangely looked like a combination of Nanashi and a calico cat (calico because of what he was wearing, and his hair was brown streaked with white and black).
Nanashi growled, and took out his Griffon Lance. He then dashed at the stranger and swung hard at the stranger's head...
...Only to have it caught on the prongs of the trident.
"Fool." with a flick of the trident, he sent the Griffon Lance skittering away and then stabbed at Nanashi, who barely avoided it by jumping backwards.
"Electric..." Nanashi began as he jumped backwards, "Eye!" he shouted as he landed, and lightning leapt out from between his hands, hitting the stranger.
"Owwwwwwwwww! That hurt!" the stranger glared, and leapt at Nanashi with the trident, although some of the spectators couldn't help snickering at the way his hair was smoking. When Nanashi jumped back, he slammed the trident into the ground, and the ground shook yet again. Another hole opened up underneath Dorothy, and she fell with a shriek.
"Dimension ARM..." The stranger mumbled, and a rip in the air appeared next to him. "I've secured enough for the master, now secure the fortress so we can come back here later to pick up some more." A grunt was heard through the rip, then the stranger said, "Guardian ARM! (A/N I'm not naming most of the stranger's ARMs because I'm too lazy.)"
Leather-winged vultures rose from the holes in the ground, and to everyone's horror they were carrying the limp and slightly bloodied forms of Koyuki and Dorothy.
"DOROTHY-CHAN!!!" "KOYUKI!!!" Nanashi and Ginta cried out, but already the birds were gone.
"Nice meeting you. I'll be back tomorrow for two more snacks for the master. Ta-ta!" The stranger smirked, then leapt out the hole in the wall, leaving the whole group in the lobby gaping at where he had just been standing.
