Enter the White Queen


Bloody hell it's still the fifth of July, 2064 A.D. The only real change is that it is now about 6:05 PM. Still in the general area of Bangkok's coastal area, and here we find a little girl facing the meatball haired bitch who used her as a means to an end. The little girl looks on the verge of breaking into tears. Meatball head shows no emotion, only if you look close enough you might see some hint of remorse but otherwise there is nothing there. Sammy and Trunks are nearby keeping this assassin restrained.

Chibiusa;
"I can't believe my own mother would use me like that."

Usagi Tsukino;
"I'm not your mother. Your mother is in another timeline no doubt consumed with grief over losing her child forever to a time and space mishap."

Well that that was rather blunt, I'm amazed that didn't send Chibi into tears right then and there. She keeps it in as best she can.

Trunks Briefs;
"She's still your daughter regardless! And for what?"

Usagi Tsukino;
"For bringing down the Beast who killed all those people at the Gold Saucer! Even if I have to betray someone's trust to do it I know that at least what I'm doing is for the greater good!"

Chibiusa;
"..."

Sammy 64;
"People do the most horrible things imaginable under good intentions. You can say you're doing it for the greater good all you like, you're still doing horrible unforgivable things."

Usagi Tsukino;
"I don't care if you people think of me as a villain, I'm ready to become an outright devil if I must. Sometimes evil can only be defeated by another kind of evil."

Trunks Briefs;
"What nihilistic bullshit!"

Usagi Tsukino;
"Says the guy who actually wanted to destroy the Beast."

And with that Chini just goes in and gives Usagi a good solid knuckle sandwich to the cheek, the little girl more than hoping she dislodged a tooth or two.

Chibiusa;
"STOP CALLING HIM THAT! HE'S NOT A BEAST!"

Usagi Tsukino;
"…..yes he is."

Sammy 64;
"Only if you want him to be. Every bad thing he's done has always been caused by assholes like you looking for a fight."

Trunks Briefs;
"Evil begets evil Ms. Tsukino. It is a lesson I was reminded of when Goku decided to spare Terry's life. I still wish to prevent the tragedy that put me and Chibi here from repeating in this timeline, it's just I'm now taking the right approach."

Usagi gives a small chuckle.

Usagi Tsukino;
"I doubt that Lady Satsuki will share you naïve sentiment."

Sammy 64;
"Is that the person who hired you?"

Usagi Tsukino;
"She's not my employer, she's my leader. While even WASP is just trying to use deterrence to sweep things under the rug Lady Satsuki is the only person in the whole damn world trying to put a stop to this Tyrranux nonsense."

Sammy 64;
"And I suppose she has a backup plan if this little stunt goes south?"

Usagi says nothing, trying to keep her mouth shut. Sammy isn't having any of that as she grabs the meatball head by the hair and puts a fire arm to her neck.

Sammy 64;
"Start fucking talking!"

Usagi Tsukino;
"..."

Chibiusa;
"Just tell us, you've already lost this fight…."

Usagi Tsukino;
"…we're going to recruit Maxine Jones into our little club, if Lady Satsuki can't rely on me or my associate then maybe she can rely on Max."

Sammy 64;
"Oh fucking hell…."


The night sky is quite beautiful over the coastal area, the time is now 8:57 PM. After having picked Terry up from another dimension the three are now moving at a quick pace along a beaten dirt path far from any paved roads. Terry is still in his armored reptilian form, no doubt staying in this state to keep his strength up at acceptable levels. Close behind him are Sammy and Chibi, the latter of which is still uneasy about how he feels. He hasn't said a word to her since he learned about what was going on, she can't help but feel he's in a real bad mood now and she probably should have stayed behind. Taking notice Sammy decides to try and ease the tension however she can, she is now right next to Terry…

Sammy 64;
"Say something Terry."

Terry Jones;
"We can't doddle."

Sammy 64;
"I know you're very concerned for Max but dammit you're not the only one who's had a bad day."

Terry Jones;
"Can we please not talk about this now? Like you said earlier we got a serious problem."

And with that he picks up his pace leaving her behind. She returns by Chibi's side who is a bit emotionally worse for wear now.

Chibiusa;
"Great, he probably wants to shove that broach I gave him right down my throat."

Sammy 64;
"No of course not."

Chibiusa;
"Well if he does I wouldn't blame him…"

Like a big sister Sammy then draws in Chibi, the little girl's cheek pressed against the side of Sammy's bosom, the sisterly warmth does put the little girl at ease.

Sammy 64;
"Terry doesn't hate you. You were used by some sweet talking witch, he knows that. He's just very worried about his sister is all."

Chibiusa;
"…I still can't believe she used me like that."

Terry is still a bit ahead of them, from behind it seems he has not even been listening but he has and he feels like a total cunt right now. But he can't think of that right now, he's got to get to Max as soon as possible.

Our heroes have been traveling along this dirt path for quite a while, Bangkok is about a few hours away now and the only sign of civilization to be seen is the massive aircraft carrier not too far ahead of them. Standing atop a rock they can see the carrier more clearly, every inch of it from its outer hull to its black top looks like pure technology almost to the point of being straight out of a sci-fi manga. Upon its hull is stylistic Japanese kanji that reads "Kill the Beast", no identification numbers or any other such markings are found on the vessel. There are several kinds of aircraft upon the black top, most prominent of all is a rather unique looking craft much like a space shuttle that looks like it was designed for flying faster than any other aircraft in existence can possibly fly.

Terry Jones;
"Can you figure out how to fly that thing?"

Sammy 64;
"I doubt I'll even need to hotwire that thing."

Terry Jones;
"Great so all we need to do is figure out what that Usagi bitch wouldn't tell us."

Chibiusa;
"Where your sister is?"

Terry Jones;
"Yep."

And so they head forward, carefully approaching the vessel to avoid detection. Just simply jumping up or flying or whatnot would get them spotted in mere seconds, the only reasonable option is to silently swim up to the hull and climb up. Terry's claws provided the way up the otherwise unclimbable surface, with his tail he carries the girls close behind. Eventually they reach the top, they immediately find cover behind a close by aircraft, there doesn't seem to be any life on the black top but best not risk being in the opening anyway.

Terry Jones;
"Where would we find a terminal you can hack into? Could we just use one of these aircraft's onboard computers or do we have to make our way to the bridge?"

Sammy 64;
"We can try both see whichever actually-hey wait. Oh shit Chibi is gone!"

Terry Jones;
"What?!"


Like any good vessel worth its weight this carrier has a kitchen, and it is here we see a familiar butler preparing a pot of tea. After he is finished he leaves the kitchen and heads down a corridor. As he is walking he stops, he can't help but feel there's someone behind him but no one is there. He continues onward down the corridor eventually approaching a big double door leading right into a rather elegantly designed lounge. There are no lights on save for a nearby collection of candles on a table, sitting beside this table a familiar young woman, the White Queen known as Satsuki Kiryuin. She has been sitting here waiting for her butler's signature tea, he proceeds to pour her a cup and she already takes a sip. It is very bitter, anyone else who drank this tea would probably spit it out, to her though it is the most delicious thing she will ever drink. She finishes the cup and places the cup back down and the bulter proceeds to pour another serving of tea.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You really need to work on your stealth."

There right behind her is Chibi brandishing a girly looking flintlock handgun right to the back of her head.

Chibiusa;
"I ain't got the time for stealth."

The butler reaches for a weapon in his pocket, but then he gets a dose of what looks like pixie dust to his face knocking him out cold. Chibi had pulled out another smaller gun, obviously a tranquilizer device.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Thank you for not killing Mitsuzo."

Chibiusa;
"You can thank me by telling me where Terry's sister is."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"And why would I tell you that?"

Chibi squeezes the trigger slightly causing the gun to cock and lock.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"At least answer me this, why are you helping Terry?"

Chibiusa;
"To prevent the tragedy that sent me here from repeating in this timeline."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Killing him will do the trick nicely."

Chibiusa;
"No it won't, believe me it won't. Now where is she?"

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Constantinople."

Chibiusa;
"….never heard of that place. Where is it?"

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You'll know when we get there, in the meantime you can stay in one of our guest accommodations down the brig. Ira?"

Chibi is then lifted into the air by a giant hand from behind, how the hell a big hulking guy like this Ira fellow managed to sneak up without making a sound is beyond me. But now he's got Chibi, he looks like he wants to put the little girl in a serious world of hurt.

Chibiusa;
"LET ME GO YOU BIG APE!"

Ira Gamagori
"Shall I take measures to prevent any escape attempts?"

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"So long as you don't harm a hair on her head…..too severely….."

The big guy just grinned.

Ira Gamagori;
"As you wish Lady Satsuki."

And then in comes a fork lift right through the damn wall, its two giant prongs grazing the brute's sides and forcing him flying right into the White Queen. In the sudden sprinkling of absolute chaos Chibi is freed from the giant's grip and now flat on her ass, the giant and presumably the White Queen are now in the next room over with the forklift blocking the newly formed hole. Looking towards where the forklift came from you'd see Terry with his foot up in the air having just kicked that damn forklift like a mother fucking boss.

Terry Jones;
"Don't doddle Chibi!"

Chibiusa;
"O-Okay."

She gets back on her feet, reclaiming the gun she dropped she is now running towards Terry. On the other side of the room the forklift starts to budge. Both Terry and Chibi are already far from that one room, the two meet up with Sammy in one of the corridors leading to the upper decks.

Sammy 64;
"That was too damn close!"

Terry Jones;
"What the hell were you thinking?"

Chibiusa;
"I was just trying to get some information."

Terry Jones;
"You got yourself in serious trouble, they could have killed you if they wanted to!"

Chibiusa;
"I just wanted to help."

Terry Jones;
"I know….but dammit kid you shouldn't put yourself in trouble because of me. I mean if anything should happen to you…just…...fuck….I mean Trunks would have my ass if anything happened to you and…."

Chibiusa;
"You were that worried?"

Terry Jones;
"Well yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

Chibi just stood there in disbelief that Terry is saying any of this. She didn't even know how to respond other than to suddenly hug him, she was squeezing so tight it was like she was welded to his torso. Terry wrapped his arms around the kid patting her shoulder.

Chibiusa;
"Thank you…."

Terry Jones;
"You're most welcome. And I'm sorry for making you feel bad."

Chibiusa;
"I'm sorry for earlier too."

Terry Jones;
"Don't worry about it, it wasn't your fault. And...and I'm not getting rid of that broach either."

Chibiusa;
"Terry…."

Sammy 64;
"I think I just got diabetes from this tender little moment :3"

There is a sudden sound of a woman's heel shoe giving off a rather deafening footstep. There is also a strange aura filling the hallway almost coming off like a divine light from heaven.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Yes just a sweet moment, I would find this touching if I wasn't already repulsed by this boy's very existence."

And there was the White Queen herself, looking as radiant as ever. Her trademark scowl is so intense in this moment that it would probably curdle dairy. Her sword rests in the sheath she holds to her side, if it could speak it would most likely be as anxious to cut down Terry by the neck as its master. The intent to kill is thick in the air, combat was unavoidable.

Terry Jones;
"Sammy get Chibi out of here, go get that shuttle ready. I'll buy you guys some time."

Sammy 64;
"Right, c'mon Chibi."

Sammy is already leading Chibi away from this soon to erupt powder keg.

Chibiusa;
"Terry be careful!"

Terry Jones;
"Don't worry about me, I'll be just fine."

The two girls have already left going up the stairs to the upper decks, now stands Terry face to face with the White Queen. The tension is so thick the very oxygen they currently breathe might as well be pea soup.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"No, you won't be fine, you'll be in hell."

Terry Jones;
"Ooooh I'm so scared."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You will be."

The White Queen wastes no time going for the kill, for a human her speed is quite unreal. Already she has drawn her sword and goes for a downward slash and Terry had only seconds to catch it between his two palms. As he clamps down on the blade he pulls it over his head forcing her over him, from there he is one his back with both feet up against her stomach. The moment he releases the blade he then kicks the bitch right up into the ceiling, to follow up he then leaps straight upward and with both fists out. With his fists planted into her gut he takes her up the hard way, they punch right through about three ceilings before they end up outside. He then throws her onto the black top where she lands hard on her back, after landing Terry just stands there watching on as the lady picks herself up. She's a lot tougher than she looks but understandably she is having trouble getting up, most humans who go through three solid steel ceilings would probably be mulch.

Sammy 64;
"Well that was quick!"

Terry turns around and sees Sammy and Chibi on a nearby railing platform above him.

Chibiusa;
"So does this mean we can just leave now?"

Terry Jones;
"You guys can, take off without me if you must!"

Sammy 64;
"We're not gonna leave you here Terry!"

Terry Jones;
"Then just get the shuttle ready! I gotta deal with her first!"

Sammy 64;
"Okay, just don't take too long!"

The two girls continue onward leaving Terry to finish up things, speaking of which the White Queen is already up and already going in for another killing blow. Terry decides to counter her sword with a blade of his own, his arm reformatting into his usual biomass arm blade he spins around to counter the attack….

….but the very instant the two blades collide, her sword suddenly starts cutting through his own. To his shock and horror he finds his biomass arm blade being cleaved in two by this ordinary looking Japanese Katana. In a sudden panic he gives her a great big hard kick to her gut forcing her several feet away from him. The pain is near unbearable, literally a sensation like that of flesh and bone being eaten by a sulfuric acid. Trying his best to recover he forces his arm back to its original state, his arm is good as new yet the severe pain still lingers.

Terry Jones;
"Christ what the fuck?!"

Looking on the White Queen seems quite pleased with the look of pain on her quarry's face.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"So, what killed my sister could indeed kill you….exactly what I was hoping for."

Terry Jones;
"Meaning what?"

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Meaning I have in my hands your very Kryptonite."

Terry Jones;
"…okay I'll bite, what's the sword made of?"

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"The last remaining fragments of the sword used by Perseus to decapitate a titan, the Gorgon Medusa."

And just as I'm sure you readers are in utter disbelief so is Terry.

Terry Jones;
"No really what's the sword made of?"

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You doubt my words? I just cleaved your indestructible biomass arm in a single cut, I'm to understand no simple blade made by mortal hands can achieve such a feat correct? Matoi Ryuko was slain by Ichigo's sword, a weapon made of a divine providence that no mortal magic or science can truly replicate! The Tyrranux Core in her made her a near exact copy of you, her DNA changed to match yours, the only blessing to be had from her unjust death was the clue revealing your Achilles Heel! Any weapon or object forged by the Gods, blessed by some divine providence or just soaked in the blood of a titan will be your undoing. And by slaying the titan known as Medusa, the sword wielded by Perseus became such a weapon, even in fragments its power never faded, and now after much toil and struggle I now wield those once lost fragments! Reforged into this blade you see before you! The sword of Perseus has been reborn as my mighty Bakuzan!"

Terry Jones;
"…alrighty then."

She brandishes her blade once more going right for him, but as her blade is about to hit its mark his body literally goes serpentine and swerves right out of the blade's wake. From there he continues to dodge every last swipe she makes, he could just as easily use his time stopping ability but that would just waste a lot of energy real fast, precious energy he is still recovering after the bullshit he's been through these past few hours. All he has to do here is make sure that this sword doesn't cut him, he is quite impressed that this human is very much able to keep the pressure on but overall he passes by her sword with little effort. Eventually he stops just dodging and starts applying a few small jabs and kicks to her limbs hoping to get her to finally stop swinging, she takes the blows in stride but regardless stops her assault.

Terry Jones;
"Now that I know that sword is badass enough to fuck my shit up, I won't let you get so much as a scratch on me."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Yes, to get another hit on you I need to become more than human…..my own Tyrranux Core, Junketsu should take care of that problem nicely."

Terry Jones;
"I'm sorry, your own WHAT?!"

And just like that Terry feels a rising force emitting from the White Queen, at first a small simmer but soon it erupts into a sudden blaze. And as her hair suddenly starts shooting straight up so too does a pillar of sparkling energy rising from the very ground she stood on, a literal barrier to keep her quarry from interfering with her transformation. There is an illuminating insignia of a dragon appearing on her back, it starts to extend to other parts of her body until she is completely enveloped in light. Her form becomes pure shining energy that soon starts to adapt a few new protruding features to its humanoid form. And then the light goes out, revealing the White Queen in a new form.

It was an armor much like Terry's own technological armor but in a shade of radiant ivory, it was an armor made for the female form and to Terry's immediate notice was a rather lewd piece of attire showing quite a lot of skin in the torso. Her legs and arms were fully clad in armor, she even had talon like fingers and toes. She had a small white lizard tail coming out of her tail bone, two dragonoid horns of ivory on the sides of her head point upwards like some form of antennae. And then there were two massive curved blades rising from her shoulders, they almost looked like angelic wings forever raised straight upward. And along her shoulder line were two giant slanted eyes, both technological and demonic in design, they glared at Terry with a most malicious killing intent. And yet even as she bares this armor she is still human in appearance, no reptilian features or different colored skin or anything. Terry cannot help but feel a little jealous that her transformed state lets her keep her human face.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Magnificent isn't it? I bet to you it's like looking into a mirror."

Terry Jones;
"No it's like looking at a common cold waiting to happen."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Hmph, yes well I would cover up a little more but then I'd probably lose myself. I have found the more armor I create the less human I become. Your cursed blood now runs through my own veins as it did Ryuko's veins, much as it turned her it will one day turn me into a blood crazed beast with no shred of humanity left, such is the curse of the Tyrranux Core."

Terry Jones;
"And yet you're still willing to use it."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"What else can I do but use it? If I'm to see you die I will use any and all tools at my disposal."

Terry Jones;
"And if you do manage to kill me? What then? You gonna do something stupid like end your own life?"

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Perhaps, maybe you and I can just go to hell together?"

Her assault then begins anew, her blade now surging with additional power from her armor goes right for his neck. The boost in speed her newfound armored form provides is apparent and he barely dodges the incoming blade by a hair. Dodging that swipe has him bent over so far backwards his head is about twelve inches off the ground, hoping to take advantage the White Queen immediately makes a 360 spin. She then makes a downward swipe, her blade once more going for Terry's neck. It does not hit the mark, Terry has managed to cover his neck with just his forearm and now her Bakuzan is clashing with pure energy taking a curved blade shape, this blade of energy is literally held by a strange holding rig protruding from Terry's forearm. The heat from this blade is so thick and intense that the spot of Bakuzan's edge directly clashing with it is already glowing a bright red.

Terry Jones;
"Well well, I am able to counter this blade with pure energy. Fancy that."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You had this kind of weapon this whole time?"

Terry Jones;
"Nope, just made it up on the spot. Gonna have to think of a name for it later…"

His arm muscles tense up, gathering enough torque to force the Bakuzan away from his neck, the kinetic force sends her sword flying right out of the White Queen's hand high into the air. It also sent her staggering back a bit allowing Terry to literally plant one foot onto her face and use her as a spring board. Leaping high into the air he is able to grab hold of the airborne sword, as he is in the air he can see the entire ship. Up in the air he can better hear the sound of gunfire.

At the far end he can see Sammy and Chibi on the railway platform heading towards the shuttle. They are held up by the blind man. The big guy is not too far from them. They are both unloading enough rounds to pulverize a car like tin foil but with his one weapon he can swat away each and every bullet. They try to get passed him with whatever maneuver they can but he just counters them, sending them back away from the shuttle. They are so close but this literal wall has them dead in their tracks, they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Ira Gamagori
"Hey Uzu, when are you gonna stop playing around and end this?"

Uzu Sanageyama;
"When they stop trying to be nice and give me everything they got."

Ira Gamagori;
"Oh dammit Uzu!"

Sammy 64;
"We have no reason to use our full strength against a mere goomba."

Uzu Sanageyama;
"You mean besides the fact I have keen enough senses to counter your every move? At least make this fun for me."

Sammy 64;
"Oh great another asshole who likes fighting a lot."

Chibiusa;
"We don't have time for this!"

Uzu Sanageyama;
"Well too bad, you're not going to get to that shuttle. Might as well make yourself comfortable."

The blind man has quite a shit eating smirk on his face as he talks, but then his face shows sudden concern as the sound of a Japanese sword reaches his ears. His sense pick up on every last particle of oxygen being brushed against the metal of the sword, in his mind he can picture its exact shape identifying it as the Bakuzan.

Uzu Sanageyama;
"The Hell?"

He then swerves his neck to the side just as the sword is about to impale his head, it misses the mark but manages to get one little scratch on his cheek, he barely even feels it. The bullet that grazes the side of his neck does more to get him to falter.

It seems Sammy also noticed the incoming sword, neither her reflexes or dumb luck failed her as her finger shot off a bullet right at the blind man. With that opening she grabs Chibi's hand and the two quickly dash passed the blind man, she gives him a heavy kick to his leg for good measure

Uzu Samageyama;
"GYAH YOU MOTHER FUCKER!"

Ira Gamagori;
"Not so fast you little rodents!"

The big guy then leaps up grabbing hold of the railing platform, he's just about to pull himself up to intercept the two girls when Sammy then picks up Chibi, leaps over the rail and shoves both feet down onto the big guy's face.

Sammy 64;
"Sit boy!"

As she leaps upward the big guy drops right down out cold from the sudden heavy blow to the head. She then lands right onto the outer hull of the shuttle, still carrying Chibi she makes a mad dash across the top looking for an entry point. All the while Terry is now looking on from atop one of the carrier's radio towers. Seeing that the two are entering the shuttle he can sigh in relieve.

Terry Jones;
"Okay then, just gotta go meet up with them and get out of here."

He suddenly hears a faint humming sound, like some sort of energy weapon charging up and ready to fire. The very moment he looks to see what that sound is he immediately leaps out of the way as a great big blue burst of laser death shoots right at him, the radio tower is erased from existence right down to the atom. As he is in the air he suddenly feels a machine like tendril grab his leg and pull him right down and hard into the solid lower deck. He picks himself back up and sees the White Queen approaching, both her shoulder protrusions in two different forms altogether, one a monstrous mechanical grapple claw and the other some sort of alien laser cannon. As she gets closer the armor protrusions revert back to their base shape.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"You cheeky little shit."

Terry Jones;
"Well at least I didn't try to cut you with your own sword."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"In any case you're not leaving this ship. You still have unfinished business."

Terry Jones;
"I don't care about your bitter revenge. I did not kill this Matoi Ryuko no matter how much you wish I did. You and Ichigo really need to let this shit go."

Those words more than get under the White Queen's skin, there is a faint glimmer of pure rage in her eyes, for a brief moment it looked like the primal side of the Tyrranux Core reared its ugly head. But with a deep breath she brought herself back, raising her arm up with her hand wide open, an electrical surge of energy is seen emitting from her palm. And just like that in comes the Bakuzan flying through the air out of nowhere, returning to its master's hand.

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"Don't talk like you know my pain. Ichigo might have had it worse but I suffer just as much. I never even got to meet Ryuko, when I was a little girl I saw my mother use my infant sister as a test subject then immediately discard her when she died. But then months ago I learn she was alive for all those years. All this time my sister was out there, alone just like I was! If only I knew she was alive, I could have saved her, I could have had my sister back! I could have had my family back! But she's gone….for Ichigo he lost a lover….for me, she might as well have truly died an infant!"

Terry Jones;
"…I'm sorry…."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"…..it doesn't matter. In the end your existence is a fucking cancer on this planet, even people you've never met suffer because of the power you wield. It would be better if you just fade away!"

Terry Jones;
"My death will change nothing y'know."

Satsuki Kiryuin;
"We'll see about that. I only wish Ichigo was here to see your end."

There is a massive bang echoing from out of nowhere like the sound of a cannon firing. Terry looks to see what it was and there high above atop the carrier's highest point he sees a portal to another plane of existence. And from out this portal steps Ichigo brandishing a magical gun, the same kind of gun that Chibi used in fact, by his side is Orihime. The false angel of death had finally arrived on the scene, the look on his face shows that he's still quite consumed with vengeful rage.

Terry Jones;
"Speak of the goddamn devil-_-."
