HOTD: Congratulations! You Both Are Now Parents!
Author's Note: Wolf's motorcycle will be seen in this chapter. It looks like Cloud's Fenrir motorcycle from Final Fantasy VII for the most part, but has a back of a Harley Davidson Police motorcycle and extra side door compartments for wolf's weapons. There will be a power outage that affects the city they live in instead of the EMP missile. The power outage takes place
Chapter 7: Power Outage of the Dead
Rei's POV:
Takagi Estate: Near Koi Pond, 7:45PM
I sat on the bench near the Koi pond with my mother and had Elizabeth in my lap. She had the game-boy again. My mother was watching her with interest.
"She looks a great deal like you but she has Takashi's eyes." Mom said as she smiled at Elizabeth. "She also has a combined personality of both of you. It is a rare trait to have a combined personality of both parents.
"Why's that mom?" I asked confused.
"Usually when a child looks like either their mother or father, they either take on the personality of the one of their parents or the other. Not both at the same time. They might have personality traits of both parents but one might be more dominant than the other. There are also cases of parents having same personality traits and their children have personality traits that are the either the same traits or completely opposite traits of their parents. Some even have traits of their own individuality that neither parent will have at all."
"So I guess Elizabeth is the exception to the rule." I said getting her to nod in approval of my assumption. "Takashi and I were lucky when we found her when we did. I think she can help me and Takashi become even closer than possible. I hope she can make Takashi be more open with me. He's still pretty distant." I said sadly. There was another explosion and even more smoke coming from the garage as Wolf began swearing like a sailor again. I think that guy might blow himself if he keeps this up. I then look back down at Elizabeth and she looked up at me. I smile sweetly at her.
"Mommy, why is Mr. Woof blowing himself up and getting mad?" She asked me curiously.
"Well Mr. Wolf is trying to fix and work on this motorcycle that he owns and it keeps on backfiring on him." I told her with a smile while chuckling. That's when Wolf's mom had approached us.
"Well, well, well." Lightning said smirking. "It's been awhile since we have had good chat, eh Kiriko." My mom returned the smirk.
"It has been awhile now." Mom said. "Lightning, I would like you to meet my daughter Rei and grand daughter Elizabeth. Rei, I would like you to meet my childhood friend and best friend in the whole world, Lightning Farron-Strife."
"It's nice to meet you." She said. "I've heard from both Wolf and your father that you have your mother's talent for using a spear in combat and your father's talent with the bayonet. I hope you plan to enter the Guardian Corps. We could use someone with your talents. You come from a good family as well. I've known your mom all my life and she was there for me and my sister when my parents died."
"Thank you. How close were you and mom, Lightning?" I asked wondering just how far the two went back.
"Since grade school." She answered. "Your mom and I started, founded, and lead this all-girl-gang way back when we were teenagers in Tokonosu. She was the leader and I was second-in-command. This was before your mom decided to be a cop and I had decided to join the G.C. Your Mom had kick-ass skills with the spear and still does."
"Wow!" I said surprised. "I didn't know you were part of an all-girl-gang."
"Yeah, yeah." Mom said brushing it off. "It's really not as important as the present of today."
"That's for sure." Lightning said before bending down to Elizabeth's level. "So this is the little squirt that called my son "Mr. Woof". I use to call him that to embarrass him a little bit." Elizabeth hid her face slightly embarrassed at the attention she was getting. Our conversation was interrupted by a loud roar from the garage where Wolf was. A few minutes later Wolf came out riding a huge black custom-made motorcycle. It had the back of a Harley Davidson police motorcycle and the sleek futuristic look of a motorcycle Fenrir made by Mythology Industries for the rest of the body. On the side, just below the handle bar, it said "Fenrir II: The Wolf Blader". He slowly came towards us and then he shut off the engine as he parked it next to Lightning.
"Nice bike." I heard Takashi say as he approached us with a whistle. "Maybe I could take it for a spin?"
"Won't happen." Wolf replied. "This is my pride and joy. Anyone who tries to touch it except for me and its mechanic are a dead man. Unless given permission by me."
Takashi was never given time to reply as sparks of electricity ran through all the power lines and lights broke or the street lights.
"What was that?" I asked concerned as I protectively held Elizabeth in my arms. There was a loud rumble as we all heard a loud explosion off in the distance.
"Not good." Wolf said. "The electrical plant near the river just blew up. That means most of the city won't have power. Damn this is bad."
"How so." I asked fearing the worse.
"Without electricity, "They" will probably have free run of the city." Wolf said in a dark tone. "More lives will be lost. Especially those in the hospital."
"Any and all places that rely on the electrical plant for power will be useless to contact using phones. Only cell phones will be able to contact other cell phones. All landline phones will be completely useless." Saya said arriving with Kohta and Saeko. "Our situation has escalated even more critically."
"To put it simply." Wolf said with a dark looked. "We're fucked."
