Chapter 9
Meanwhile, on the Fathership, Wiretox is called to the lab where Ryu is being tested. So he takes Fred and Shadow with him, to see what the big emergency is. Once there, they find Ryu in mid flight and the scientists, including Isaac himself, running around, trying not to get zap by the security system, that somehow turn on by itself. Fred dodges a few shots with his flexible body and all three monster duck for cover. Wiretox signals to Isaac, who comes running towards him.
Wiretox asks him, "What blazes is going on here Isaac!?"
"Well, Ryu started having a fit, so we tried to calm him down, but that only make things worse!" replied the heart shape monster.
"How?! He's only a baby." said Wiretox.
"Yeah, a baby that can levitate and teleport all over the place!" shouted Isaac.
Wiretox looks from behind his hiding place to see Ryu in mid air and teleporting everywhere, just like Isaac said. Ryu was crying his eyes out in a hoariness tantrum.
"Okay, if he's having a fit, then what's if the security system going off!? Its suppose to attack intruders, not us!" replies Wiretox.
"Well sir, somehow Ryu manage to turn it on by himself!" said Isaac, ducking from another blast.
So Wiretox, getting pretty fed up with this nonsense, goes to the security panel on the back wall and punches in the emergency code. The system shuts down, and the monsters come out of their hiding place, wondering what just happen. Ryu, still crying, levitating and teleporting around in a fit, teleports himself back to his crib, rolling around, probably waiting for mommy, the mommy who is not going to show up anytime soon.
Wiretox steps forward to see if he can calm him down, but Ryu teleports away, but only a a few feet. Wiretox tries and tries again, but Ryu continues to teleport away from him. Ryu teleports one last time, floating far above Wiretox's head. Wiretox finds him and snaps his finger, causing the baby to fall, but he catches Ryu with his left hand and holds him up to his face as he cries louder then ever. Wiretox cradles him his arms and hums to Ryu, and shockingly enough, it work, it calms him down!! Wiretox tucks the little chap in and Ryu falls fast asleep. The other monsters stand there in amazement, looking on as Wiretox walks towards the door, with his head held high and his hands behind hid back, under his cape.
Isaac ran up to him and replied, "That was amazing, how did you do that?"
"Oh please, I haven't been a father for over 1500 years without picking up for tricks. This was nothing compared to the tantrums Rapunzel use to have, she would knock you out cold!" replied Wiretox
"And how about claw?" asks Issac.
Wiretox
thinks for a moment then replies, "Try to keep those googly
eyes
form moving around!"
Isaac agrees with about about the matter. Perhaps the monster most impressed was Shadow, standing there with flashbacks going through his mind of a time he thought he'd never thought or wanted to remember.
With his eyes wide open in shock, he replies to the king, "Is that how it happen?"
Wiretox and turn to him, he asks again, "Is that how it was when you took me away from my mother?"
Wiretox, with regret in his eyes, asks him if they could speak in private. So Wiretox lays his hand on the monsters shoulder and walks him out as Isaac and the others get back to work.
Fred pokes his head out from his hiding place and replies, "What did I miss?"
Wiretox
takes Shadow to a nearby balcony that look straight at the moon,
so
that they can talk about what's troubling Shadow.
Wiretox replies, "Alright my boy, what seems to be the problem? Is it about Seka? Do you wish to go down to earth to have another shot at her?"
"Not only that your majesty, it's...about what you told me, about how you took me away from my mother and father. I don't know, I guess I'm just...feeling...feeling depress for no reason." said Shadow.
Wiretox, putting his hand on his shoulder again, replies to him, "You have every right to feel that way. But your mother committed a crime, and she had to pay for it. You know our laws towards monsters dating, or in her case, marring an outsider without the person becoming a citizen, if they have children, the child has to be taken away, and the monster parent is put into salutary confinement and the other...executed."
"I know," replies Shadow, "It's just, am I the final result for Ryu? Is he going to grow up to become me?"
"I don't know chap; I don't even know what we're going to with him after we are done with him." replied Wiretox. Shadow signs, then Wiretox asks, "Speaking of your mother, where she and your sister, Magdeline?"
"They're out, watching the invasion." replied Shadow, with a dry, depressed tine in his voice.
Wiretox looks at him, sighs, and then says to him, "Would you like to go?"
"Go where?" asked Shadow.
"To
earth, to help Tomahawk 2.0 with the invasion, and maybe even fight
the
demon you've been hoping to fight."
Shadow sits up straight, happy as a clam, salutes, the hugs the king. 'Thank sir; I will not let you down this time!" Shadow replied, just before running.
Wiretox looks on and then replies to himself, "Kids!"
Back on earth, Seka and Hayoto are confronted by the truck driver, before leaving the apartment complex.
"You! It's you; you're the driver who I had coffee and pastries with!" replied Seka.
"You had coffee and pastries with a truck driver? Was it a date!?" demanded Hayoto.
Seka quickly replies, "No, no, it was not."
But the driver replies, "Oh, but it felt like one to you, didn't it Seka? I remember that just before you left me sitting, you thought to yourself that 'it's feels to much like anyway."
Seka stood there for a moment, and replies in shock, "How did you know I thought that?"
"Oh, I know everything Seka, your relationship with Hayoto, how you got pregnant with Ryu, how Kish stormed into your house and ruined everything for you and Hayoto. Everything Seka, everything!" replies the cowboy hat wearing stranger.
"How do you know my father's name?" asked Hayoto.
"We use to do business together, before I killed him!" replied the driver.
"You killed my father!?" said Hayoto in rage.
"Relax pointy ears, it was a long time ago." replied the driver.
"But he's alive today?" replies Hayoto. Seka looks on as this strangest of conversions occurs.
"Yes, now that is strange isn't it?" said the driver.
"Your telling me!" replied Seka.
But the driver shakes his head and then replies, "I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the rooster behind you!"
Seka and Hayoto turn around and find a 6' 3" rooster with orange feathers, red and blue tail feathers (three all together), long yellow legs, big yellow eyes with huge black pupils, and he held a microphone in his right hand. The two turn back around, but only to find another monster standing right in front of them. He was a giant, two speaker stereo, with arms coming out from the side with golden fingernails and legs coming out of the bottom, standing at 6' 7". Then the stereo monster flips over to his bird like friend with incredible speed.
Seka replies in shock, "Who are these guys?"
"Who are we?" said a voice coming from above.
Seka and Hayoto look up and finds another monster on the roof of the apartment, holding an electric guitar. Looks like; head; ovalish, color of skin; same as the color of his guitar, white with red markings on the sides of his head, wears a unbutton jacket, showing off his six pack, jeans, and has long, golden fingernails, to use as guitar picks, his eyes are not seen, big mouth though. Height: 6' 5".
He jumps off the roof and joins his two companions. Then Seka and Hayoto begin to hear something coming towards them. They turn to find...nothing but a trashcan, with holes on the side, so they dismiss it. But once they turn around, the noise begins to start up again. So again, they turn to see that the can is closer to them then before.
Seka, getting pretty fed up with this, says, "Okay, whose ever in there, show your face or else!!"
From the holes from the sides of the can, two, long green furry arms, (and no I am not talking about Oscar the grouch!) and two green furry legs come out form the bottom, with two eyes, peepy out from under the lid, he is 5' 6" tall.
And this guy replies to Seka, "Okay!"
With drumsticks in his hands, he begins to pound on his top, sending powerful sound waves, even more powerful then the ones that Rapper Raptor or anyone else has ever sent at her; sending her flying into Hayoto, landing on top of him.
The driver leans over them and replies, "What do you think?"
"You're with the monsters!" Seka said in even more shock then before.
"It took you this long to figure that out!?" the driver replied.
"Then that means...the moving accident! It was a set up!!" said Seka, getting angry.
"Yes it was." confess the driver.
"But why did you insisted on buying me coffee and pastries?" asked Seka.
"To earn your trust. And besides, can a guy feel guilty about his actions? I did, so I tried to make for it. Taking Ryu was not apart of my agenda, though I could have taken him, but I didn't, because I, was following a plan, and part that plan was eating with you to yearn you trust. But if I did try to take him, you would've just hunt me down and take your son back, out of my stunned hands." He continues, changing the subject, "Oh, and this is a vary nice apartment. I guess you have me to thank for it!"
"What!? Wait a minute, you were also the man from the grocery store who gave the money to pay off my old landlord!" replied Seka, stunned.
T 2.0 then changes into the the outfit he wore on the day of the grocery store attack, in a blink of an eye.
He replies, "Yes, it is I! You see Seka, every little thing you have done in the past week, I made into a plan to benefit us! The domino shelves were a nice touch, don't you think?"
Seka, getting more and more surprised by the second replies, "You made the shelves to fall!? But how!?"
"I have my ways!" replied T 2.0. Just then, rooster called for his attention, asking for an intro. T 2.0 replies, "Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you guys. People, allow me introduce the monsters greatest band, 'The Monster Jam!!'. Rocky, the rockin' rollin' rooster, the lead singer and pianist and guitarist extraordinary!"
Rocky does a rock shout out.
T 2.0 continues, "Next up, Blackbox, the stereo monster, base player and break dancer master!"
Blackbox does a break dance routine.
"After him, is the bands guitar wiz, and the greatest guitarist in the empire, Jacob the guitar freak!!"
Jacob does a guitar solo, just like the one Jimmy Hendrix would do.
"Last but not least, the greatest drummer in the empire, Robert the garbage can monster!"
Does a drum solo, using his outer shell as a drum, making a beautiful sound, though you wouldn't think it!!
T 2.0 then replies to them, "Hit it boys!"
Then it begins to rain and The Monster Jam starts to play. They sing Rascal Flatts hit single "What hurts the most" I'll leave the whole, musical performance to the imagination, but first, lets go to the song at hand. Rocky sang, Jacob played the lead guitar, Blackbox played the fiddle, and Robert, well of course, plays the drums, with a drum set, not his shell.
Music plays and Rocky sings,
I can take the rain on the roof of
this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tear now
and then
And just let 'em out
I'm not afraid to cry every once
in a while
Even though with you gone still upsets me
They are
days every now and again
I pretend I'm ok, but that's not get
me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so
much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin'
What
could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I trying
to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you every
where I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard force that smile when I
see our friends and I'm alone
Still harder
Gettin' up, gettin'
dressed, livin' with this regret, but I know
If I can do it over
I
would trade, give away, show the words that I saved in my hear that I
left unspoken
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And
havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away
And never
knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin you
Is
what i was trying to do
Uhh hey Yeah!
What hurts the
most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And never
knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is
what I was trying to do
And not seein' that lovin' you
That's
what I trying to do
Ohh ohh!
As they sang, monsters surrounded them, dancing and swaying along with the song, T 2.0 transform into his Tomahawk form, Seka was moved to tears and Hayoto felt regret for leaving Seka like that all that time ago. The singing woke up many of the neighbors, but they were scared by the hordes of monsters that now surround the apartment. As suddenly as it came, the rain stops on the last note.
The song ends and Tomahawk 2.0 steps up to Seka and Hayoto, and replies, "So, what did you think?"
"I think, they sounded to much like Rascal Flatts." said Seka, after wiping a tear form her eye.
The monsters boo her for what she said, but T 2.0 calms them down. He replies, "Careful catgirl, someone could get hurt." in a mischievous manner.
Just then, Jacob comes from behind and slams her with his guitar, though it not break folks! Hayoto tries to go to her, but Robert grabs him under his arms and out come laser swords out of his drumsticks, edging close to Hayoto's face.
"Let her rip Rocky!!" say T 2.0, ordering rocky to attack.
And so, Rocky flies into the air and screams at her, sending her flying into the kicking power of Tomahawk 2.0's left foot, sending her flying into the other direction. When they made contact, it caused a massive, purple shock wave, which originated from T 2.0's foot. She lands on top the back of nearby car and rolls off, causing the alarm to go off. The monsters cheer. Hayoto screams out her name in terror, fearing the worse for her. But that was the lease of his worries.
Robert releases him, but before he could do anything, he hears a voice from the side calling out, "You can join her!"
It was Blackbox. He makes a screech on his violin, sending a stream of musical notes to fly at him, exploding on contact. Hayoto soars out of the smoke and lands next to Seka. The monsters cheer louder.
She lefts her head towards him and replies, "We can't get defeated, not like this Hayoto!"
It was hopeless, they were no match for the double teaming of T 2.0 and The Monster Jam ( I know, that's more then two, but you get the point!) Seka grabs her staff, gets up and makes a mad dash towards Tomahawk 2.0. She attempts to knock him over by swinging her staff under his feet. But, true he didn't even responded or jumped out of the way, but when her weapon collided with T 2.0's left leg, it just made a metallic noise! Her plan didn't work.
He just looked down and then up to her and replied, "Ah, I see you notice my robotic leg."
Seka, looking at him in shock, replies, "You have a robotic leg!?"
And so, he lefts his left pants sleeve to reveal his leg; it did not look like a human leg you would think of, but it work better then you expect! Seka looked at it for a moment before he rolled it back down.
"I bet your wondering how that happened, aren't you?" he replied, with a 'I already know the answer' look on his face. Seka simply nods her head 'yes'.
"That would be the handing work of a girl named Sara Evens, we were friends before I became Tomahawk 2.0. We went on a trip with our youth group, got into a huge argument, and when we finally got to our destination, I tried to apologize, but she pushed away, causing me to trip over a step, loose my balance and fall over the side of a cliff. There, at the bottom, the monsters founded me, battered and bruise, unlikely to survive. Thanks to Rachel, who later became my girlfriend..."
T 2.0 tells, but then Seka interrupts, "You have an alien girlfriend?"
T 2.0 replies, "Yes, I have an alien girlfriend, one of the kings niece to be precise. True the monsters have laws against such things, but there are ways to go around them. By becoming a citizen of the empire and signing a much of paper work, but I was more then happy to do it for her. Man she has pretty green eyes and hair! Now can I get on with my story!!" Seka nods yes again and he continues, "Thank you. Anyway, thanks to Rachel, the monsters rescued me and put me back together the best they could, but my leg was another story. Because of the fall, that legs was broken in 26 places in the lower leg and foot. And is they didn't amputate my leg, I would've bled to death."
Seka says, "Aren't there monsters that can heal people?"
Tomahawk 2.0 replies, "You don't think they tried that? Many monster with that power tried, but they were unable, so they took off my leg and replaced it with this robotic one, all expenses payed in part by Rachel's farther, the manufacturer of this and many other cybernetic limbs. Now you know my origins, and I know yours, so we're squared!"
"Okay then? Anyway, why are you here!?" said Seka.
"Well,
I guess you got Ryou and your daddy to thank for that!" replied
T
2.0.
"What do you mean by that!?" asked Seka with a dry, somewhat angry tone in her voice.
"I mean that, in the past, we tried to retrieve the info on the mew infusion process that made your mother a mews in the first place, but no, he had keep it from us! Even our greatest hacker couldn't get it! So thanks to him, the monsters and I went here to find our answers in a different way!! (evil grin) And your father! Well, he you forced leave, he forced you into the open, making you easy prey for the monsters, all leading to the abduction of your son!" said T 2.0, ending with hiss.
"NO!!" said Seka in horror.
"YES!! All that has happen in the past week, I began planning three months ago, you getting away from Shadow, you saving me at the grocers, the move, you fighting Woody, and the final stage, the taking of your son, Ryu, was all part of my ingenious plan to force you into false sense of security. And guess what? YOU FELL FOR IT!" said T 2.0
Seka, getting angrier with each passing word, decides to sock it to him. And so, she kicks him in the groin. Unfortunately, it does no good.
He just looks down and replies, "Yeah, you would think that would hurt, wouldn't you?"
Getting madder, she tries to punch him in the face, but faster then grease lightning, he catches it. He replies, "So egregious." and flips her onto her back. He continues, "That's funny, I thought you catgirls landed on your feet? Now, if you excuse me, I have a planet to conquer."
He walks away; Hayoto comes over to her and holds her in his arms, asking her if she's alright. But then, Tomahawk 2.0 comes back and throws down a sheet of paper.
He begins to walk away again when Hayoto asked, "What the hell is this!?"
Without even turning around, T 2.0 replies, "Just a list of tag team monsters to two will be facing off with."
"What!?" said Seka.
But Tomahawk 2.0 ignores her, calling to The Monster Jam and the five of them go off, pass the other monsters. Seka and Hayoto try to go after them, but they are intercepted by a crowd of monsters, waiting have their shot at the elusive catgirl and her ex alien lover!
Hayoto hovers over Seka and replies, "I can get us out of this, just let me teleport you out of here."
"I think not!!" said a voice from a far.
The two look up, finding a monster on the roof oh her apartment, in a similar uniform as the wooden soldier's, but more decorated with games of all sorts. And he looked more human, but he has blacks for eyes his nose was pointy and his right hand is a die with a blade coming out of it and his head was rounded like a wooden soldier.
He continues, "I am General Gameboy, duke of the planet Omega, and if you even attempt to teleport away, we will kill her neighbors, starting with the hippies!! During your battles, he may teleport, but he has to stay within the parking lot!!"
Seka had a feeling he was bluffing, but what if he wasn't? Would he really kill her neighbors in cold blood? Seka decided she had no choice but to play Tomahawk 2.0's sick little game. She looks at Hayoto and he knew, though she didn't say a word about it, Seka was not about to have innocent people harmed on her behalf, so he gave up that idea.
Seka replies, "Alright 'Gameboy', who are we facing first?!"
But Gameboy smirks and replies, "Read the list!"
And so, she brings the list up to her face and reads, "Tippy and Lippy" She and Hayoto share a look for a moment, then Seka says, "Who the hell are Tippy and Lippy!?"
"We are!!" shouted a brother/sister duo from behind.
Hayoto and Seka turn around and sees 2 Twolip monsters.
The two monster do a song and dance routine to introduce themselves, or more like each other at the beginning. They called themselves "The Twolip siblings"
They look extremely similar, but Lippy (the female) is smaller then her big brother and has a big pink bow you would mistake to be a part of her. They look like three twolips merge into one. with baled feet. Their head and hands are flowers, but different colors, Lippy's are: left hand, purple, right: blue, head: pink. Tippy's left hand is red, right: yellow, head: orange. No faces, just the flower leaning forwards.
They reply, "And watch your tongue human, before we cut it out ourselves!!"
"Speak for yourselves!" says Seka.
Gameboy blows a whistle; Tippy catapults his sister into the air and she split kicks Seka and Hayoto. Tippy causes vines to crack through the ground underneath them, pinning them down. Hayoto teleports out of his tight spot, but made sure to stay within the range of the parking lot. Seka, on the other hand, claws her way out, roaring like the wild cat she is! She grabs her staff. Lippy returns along side her brother and the both of them cart wheel in a zig zag pattern towards their adversaries. They jump and Lippy kicks Seka, while Tippy pounds Hayoto. The flower duo flip away. Seka send a "Mew Seka Ribbon Check" at them, but, being plants, they enjoyed the "cool breeze', the two called it. Tippy and Lippy held their hands forward; they aimed and fired their "Pollen Shot" attack, sending a storm of pollen bombs at Seka and Hayoto, exploding on contact.
Seka and Hayoto fall to the ground as the monsters cheer for the Twolip siblings. Tippy and Lippy clasp together to form a ball of some kind. They begin to roll at the two helpless ones. Then Seka, while looking at the on coming plant bowling ball, gets an idea. So she helps Hayoto up and tells him. He agrees to do it and he levitates into air onto the rolling plant siblings. He takes controls of their movements and rolls them around Seka. Then he turn them right back at her. Once they got close, she swings her staff, like a baseball player, and, with the added weight of Hayoto, make the siblings fall on top of each other. Hayoto jumps off just when Seka blasted the pants with another wind attack, this time however, it works and the two are sent flying away, much to Gameboy's astonishment.
He looks down at Seka and Hayoto, admiring their teamwork, but then replies, "Now read whose next on the list!"
And
so, Seka raises the list back up to her face and reads, "The Mongol
tiger brothers" she lowers it and she and Hayoto sees two tiger
monsters, dressed like
Mongols.
One is a white tiger and the other is the traditional orange. The 2 brothers' roar in fury and excitement, and the monsters joined them. Seka and Hayoto just look at each other for a moment, and "gulped".
Meanwhile, at the Aomaya residence, Hina, finally being able to go out of the house after long days of bed rest, or at lease it felt that way for her, returns to her regular chores. She was checking the mailbox, one of her many chores, under watchful eyes of her fellow mews, when music could be heard coming up the street. Sensing trouble, the mews, even Hina, transform and wait while a monster band walks up the road towards them. They stop and so does the music.
"I don't like this!" says Hina to Emiko.
"Agreed." replied Emiko.
Music begins to play Rocky sings Matthew Wests "The Center".

Here is what happen during the battle:
Rocky sings. When the music begins to pick up, Tomahawk 2.0 and his chosen seven monsters appear in a burst of smoke and do a dance routine. Right before Rocky says 'Keep me in the center', the seven monsters and T 2.0 go into a specific battle pose, with T 2.0 in the center of the row with his Tomahawk bow, Wooden soldiers run in between them, charging towards the mews. When Rocky says ' God forbid I start to think I'm on a roll now', 5 out of the 7 monsters joins in the fight, with: The Bunny Ninja vs. Hina, Lord Whaler vs. Emiko, Driller Mole vs. Kimie, Kaya vs Full house and Tami vs. Peace Keeper. While those monsters fight the mews, the extra 2 go on and fight Masaya and Ichigo, who are at the stairs of their house. Ichigo vs. The White Ninja and Universal vs. Masaya. Big guitar solo. Jacob pulls out a huge chunk of asphalt with an electric current net, controlled by his guitar. The chunk explodes. All the monsters duck, leaving the mew vulnerable. Flying bits of asphalt are shot at the mews, sending them to the ground hard. T 2.0 steps forward and he and Hina do battle, with his tomahawks sprouting swords from the tops of them. By the time the song begins to slow, T 2.0 defeats Hina. The mother ships of the imperial fleet enter the earths atmosphere when you hear 'Help me hold on Help me hold on'
End of song.
When the song stops, sohe monsters. The mews find their new leader in her human form, laying on the ground before the feet of Tomahawk 2.0.
He replies, "Alright! This is how this is going to go down! The rest of you mews may go in peace, but the Aomaya's stay with us, while Hina here comes with us to our main battle ship, there's a certain someone who wishes to have a little chat with her."
"Your Tomahawk 2.0!" said Emiko, "But you're so young!"
"Yes, well, that I'm not from this time!" replied T 2.0. They then refuse any offer he gives them, but he replies, "If you do not give into our demands, I will instead kill Hina. Is that what you want? Blood on your hands? Innocent blood!?"
With the approval from the Aomaya's, they, the mews of the future give into T 2.0's list of demands. He orders some Wooden soldiers to take Hina away while the other are taken into the house. As for the rest of them, well, lets just say T 2.0 lied, he wasn't about to let them go in peace, instead he was about to leave them in pieces!! He gives the order to his warriors to go after them, chasing the mews through the street of Tokyo, Japan. Back at the house, T 2.0 steps forward to Masaya and Ichigo. They upon him with their eyes wide open in disbelieve, seeing how young he really is.
"Hello, my 'old' friends." says Tomahawk 2.0 with an evil looking grin.
"You're...you're...?" said Ichigo in complete and utter shock.
"Young? Well that's because I'm not from this time." replies T 2.0.
"What do you mean by that Tomahawk 2.0!?" demanded Ichigo.
"You'll see! Hank!" replies T 2.0. then he pulled a key out of Masaya's pocket and continues with the soldier next to him, "Your friend Herold is in the basement. Go free him at once!"
Without any hesitation, Hank grabs the key and with two other soldiers goes to free their captured comrade.
"Now then, White Ninja, tie Ichigo to the stair railing inside, Masaya stays with me." said T 2.0.
The White drags Ichigo back inside, kicking and screaming, not wanting to be separated from her beloved husband. Though, and many other people agreed with he on this, he wasn't the greatest father, he was still the father of her children and she loved him, oh so much.
Masaya looked up at Tomahawk 2.0 and replies, "If you hurt one hair on her and my daughters' heads, I will..."
But is cut off by t 2.0, who replies back, "You'll do what...human!? You are not a superhero like the rest of your family and, true may have been at kendo, but that was a long time ago and your still powerless against us. Well, a long time ago for you anyway."
He grabs Masaya by the shoulder and drags him to the house. Masaya feared the worse for him and his family's safety, for he, through experience, knew what this man was capable of doing.
Meanwhile, Seka and Hayoto just finish their battle with the tiger bros and now face a duo who call themselves "Rock and Roll". Rock is a giant, rounded boulder like monster, whose face is nothing but a gigantic eye, eye color green, vary noticeable, with arms coming out from the side of his body, three fingers, and stubby legs.
Roll is in the shape of a wheel, with several golden razer blades all over the rim of his body, the sides were sunken inward, with triangular eyes, and arms that looks a bit like an elephants, but get skinnier going upward, until it passes the elbow, it stays pretty much the same. His arms can tuck into the sunken area when he's on the attack, flying like discus, going to speeds of 500 mph. No legs.
The whistle blows and the duo goes onto the offensive!! Seka and Hayoto, though exhausted from their previous battle, charge into battle along side each other. Seka battle Roll, leaving Hayoto with the giant Rock. Rock grabs Hayoto and slams him to the ground...hard! Roll flies at Seka, who blocks with her staff and sparks fly! Hayoto teleports away, but when he reappears, Rock grabs him again and throws towards Seka, still blocking Roll's advance. The flying Hayoto crashes into Seka, and they both go down, one on top of the other. With no one blocking him anymore, Roll zooms away, back along side his buddy, Rock. Speaking of Rock, he sends an 'Eye blast' at the two ex lovers. They dodge in the nick of time, but the blast hits a car, causing it to explode. The monsters cheer as Rock raises his arms into the air in celebration, while his pal, Roll, looks on with satisfaction.
Out of the smoke, Seka comes charging towards the duo of Rock and Roll. She jumps and pokes Rock in the eye with the heart in of her staff, making him cry out in pain. As Roll checks to see if his buddy is alright, Hayoto comes out of nowhere and rams him form the side, sending soaring into the crowd of monsters, who scramble out of the way. Those two are really mad now!
Rock recovers form the pain and Roll jumps onto the top of Rock's head. They then begin to roll together, one on top of the other, ramming the unsuspecting Seka and Hayoto, sending them flying into the wall of the apartment building. Seka gets back up without a hitch, but finds Hayoto badly wounded. A huge gash across his left arm, bleeding out of control. She looks at her foes and sees blood on some of the blades of Roll, realizing he got Hayoto.
She looks at Hayoto; true he left just because his father told him to, and he broke her heart in the process, but she still loved him, she never, truly got over him and he felt the same way. It was the normal case of forbidden love, girl meets alien and alien meets earthling, it was the classic case, but with a fresh new twist to it, for their love was pure. They just wish they were left alone to be together, but alas, it was not meant to be. She hold him in her arms as he begins to shake with pain. Chills were by now going up his spine for all the blood he's lost.
Seka glares at the now laughing duo, wishing to kill them, but still not as much as she wished for Toshi to die, but still pretty darn much. She sends a wind attack at them, catching roll off guard, but Rock blocks it for his buddy. He is lifted a few fee, but lands back onto his feet again, being too heavy to be blown away. And then Roll come soaring form behind him. Seka jumps into the air and blows him away with another wind attack. Rock grabs her when she lands and throws her over to her wounded ex lover. Roll then rejoins his comrade and is then thrown by Rock towards their fallen victims. But in a blink of an eye, Hayoto grabs Seka and jump out of the way, just before Roll can collide with them. Roll doubles back, but is lead to crash into Rock by Hayoto. The two monsters collided with one another, but regain their strength. Seka felt comfortable in his arms, not even noticing his blood covering her legs. It felt like the days of old when they were dating, when he pick her up and hold her in his arms. Oh, she wished those days never ended, but sadly, through a series of unfortunate events, it came to a crushing end. But enough about that, lets get back to the action!
Seka snap out of it when Hayoto started moving again, when Roll came flying at them. Hayoto dodge by going downward, only to be lured into a trap. Rock reaches up from underneath and grabs him by the legs. He whirls them around for a moment or two, then Seka thrown out of Hayoto's arms just before he smacks the ground. She landed on her feet, being the cat girl she is, and finds Hayoto being clobbered by Rock. Seka runs towards him, but he swings around once and uses Hayoto as a bat, knocking both she and Hayoto away. It ended up landing with Hayoto on top, and Seka on the bottom. They stared into each others eyes for moment, but were interrupted when by Roll, who smashes his feet into the parking lot and begins to spin around and around at remarkable speeds, sending fourth an electric shock wave, electrifying Seka and Hayoto. Rock and Roll were showing amazing teamwork.
Rock jumps into the air, preparing to crush them, with one final attack. But then, a whistle goes off and Roll catches Rock before he even got close and carries him off to the sidelines, ceasing the battle.
Gameboy cries out, "Five minutes are up!!"
Seka, having difficulty getting up, replies to him, "Hold on here! You mean we're suppose to fight a monsters for five minutes at a time!?
"Well, you defeated the other tag teams under five minutes, so that's why you didn't about it!" replied Gameboy.
"But that felt a lot longer then 5 minutes! Care to explain that, general!?" said Hayoto, holding his left arm.
"It was 5 minutes, give or take a few seconds, I was keeping track of time, after all!!" replied Gameboy. "Now on with the next 2!!" he continued.
Seka and Hayoto turn to sees two tank monsters, rushing out of the crowd. "Oh crap." replied Seka, leaning on her staff.
After another, five minutes, those 2 monsters return to the sidelines, leaving two, exhausted warriors.
"You two are still living, I'm impressed, but wait till you see whose next!!" said Gameboy with an evil grin across his face.
The crowd of monsters begin to part, making for something, not seen yet. Seka begins to hear a familiar sound.
"Oh no!" exclaimed Seka.
"What is it, Seka? Is it bad news?" asked Hayoto.
Seka simply replied, "Very!"
Just then, a black gust of wind came at them, sending the two flying to the ground. The wind formed a tornado. It burst to form...Shadow!!
"Hello again." he replied.
"YOU!" replies Seka, her eye wide open and everything.
"Ah, I'm pleased you remember me. I'm touched, but enough about that lets get on with it, now that you have no reason to runaway this time, kitty cat!" said Shadow.
"What is this thing?" asked Hayoto.
"That is the first of these things I fought. It tried to take Ryu when I was out of the room!" said Seka.
Hayoto replies, "What!?"
"That's right. Don't act too surprised, after all, I was the most logical choice. Oh, by the way, look up!" replied Shadow, pointy upward.
Seka and Hayoto look up to see something like an asteroid coming upon them. They jump out of the way, just before it crashes into the parking lot, creating a huge crater in the middle of it!
Hayoto quivers with fear after hearing a familiar, hysterical laugh. Once the dust settles, their eyes fall upon a skinny, orange and green monster with purple boxing gloves.
"No! It can't be!! Not him!!" said Hayoto, backing away slowly.
"You mean you seen this guy before!?" asked Seka, though it sounded more like a demand then an actually question.
"That's the thing that took our son." replied Hayoto.
"What!" says Seka, "You're the one who took Ryu away from me!!"
Fred laughs again and replies, "That's right, it was me! How did you like the sleeping pill I slipped into your water last night, to make you go nighty night!? Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo hoo!"
Seka glared at Fred with anger, though he thought of it as amusing, so he just laughs some more. She felt rage, boiling inside of her; first Shadow attacked her in her old apartment, destroy most of her belongings and food, and then Fred stole Ryu.
"Calm down big nose." said Shadow, walking along side of him.
"Who are you calling 'big nose', big head!?" replied Fred, arguing back.
Then the two monsters get into a huge fight, yelling at one another and calling each other names.
Seka and Hayoto look on with confusion written all over their faces. "Who are they suppose to fight? Us, or each other?" asked Seka.
Fred and Shadow hear this, and quickly cease their bickering. They look towards them, cross their arms and Fred replies,
"It may not look it..."
"Though we fight a lot..." said Shadow, going into this sort of crisscross thing, cutting each other off.
Then Fred replies, "But we're the #1 ranking tag team..."
"In the entire empire!" said Shadow.
"Oh, isn't this just peachy! First we have to deal with those other monsters, now we have to face the #1 tag team! What's next!?" said Seka, getting angrier.
"I
can tell you what's next," says Shadow, then forms a shadow sword
out
of his hand; grabs hold of it and continues, "Your day of
reckoning!"
Fred laughs hysterically.
"Bring it..." said Seka, but fall under the extreme pain and exhaustion.
Hayoto takes into his arm and replies, sounding concern, "Seka! Are you alright?"
Seka, remembering all the things that has happen to her, replies, "Why do you care!? You're the one who left me!"
"Seka, I didn't have a choice." replied Hayoto.
"There's always a choice you idiot!" said...Fred? "You could have not listen to Kish to be with the one you love." said Shadow.
"And betray my own kind!?" asked Hayoto.
"But you were willing to betray the woman you love." replied Shadow.
"That, and you already kinda did, with the whole dating in secret thing!" said Fred.
Once he heard those words, Hayoto's heart sacked. Guilt, flooding in like a rush of emotions. He clenched his fist, getting angry hearing this from these...things that call themselves monsters.
"I had no choice! I do love Seka, it's just...I have to obey...I have to obey, he's my father." said Hayoto.
"And a wicked son of a gun!! Now, lets not go over this, we just went through!" replied Fred.
"Yeah, can we just fight already?" asked Shadow.
"Actually, we're glad he chose us." said a voice from above. Everyone looks up or down in Gameboy's case, to find Toshi was the one who said that, along side of him was Renzo, with his hair over his eyes, and a smirk on both his and his partners face. Toshi continues, "It gave us much amusement to watch her heart break, by the hands of Hayoto!"
Seka gasps, "Toshi!!"
"Ah, Seka, at last, I can finally finish you off. And Hayoto, I thought you weren't suppose to see again?" said Toshi, grinning evilly.
Fred looks at him and replies, "Man, Seka is right, he is a porcupine head! Hoo, hoo, hoo hoo!"
The other monsters quickly join in on the laugh fest, laughing at Toshi, who acted so high and mighty, up to this moment. Even Renzo found himself laughing as well.
"What are you laughing at Renzo!!" replied Toshi, with an furious tone in his voice.
"I'm sorry Toshi, but he's right, you are a porcupine head!" said Renzo, then laughing some more.
Eventually, Hayoto and Seka too, joined in, laughing at poor Toshi.
"ENOUGH!!" demanded Toshi, but no good that juts made them laugh more.
Gameboy steps forward and replies to the two pointy ears, "Well well well, it looks like we have some more pointy ears to break! Chess pieces missiles!" Each, individual square on the chess board on his stomach turns and chess piece flip out, then are fired at the Toshi and Renzo, tiny missiles hitting them from every direction. They fall right along side Seka and Hayoto, groaning in pain.
"Shadow, you know what to do!" replied Gameboy.
"With pleasure, my fellow general." says Shadow.
"My 'fellow' general?" said Seka, puzzled.
Just then, his fingers turn into technicals, reaching out to the aliens, clasping on some wrist bands on them.
"What are these for!?" asked Renzo.
"To knock out your powers!" said Shadow.
The aliens were shocked. Though they didn't believe him at first, but when they tried to use their powers...nothing happen, they just fell on their butts time and time again.
"See what I mean?" asked Shadow.
Fred laughs again.
Gameboy blows the whistle and Fred and Shadow charge in. Seka wanted to protect Hayoto because of his injury, but a wall of shadows blocks her way. She turns and there stands Shadow, happy as a clam to finally have another shot at Seka.
"I have a score to settle with you! Let round 2 begin!!" said Shadow with a smirk.
On the other side of the shadow wall, Fred has gotten the aliens cornered and on the ground.
He replies, "So...which one of you 'powerless' aliens wants to go first!?"
Toshi gladly answered his question, buy drawing out his swords and attack him. But Fred flips over him. Renzo was next, he charged in rather strangely, waving his arms in the air, so Fred just slaps him out of the way. Hayoto ran up to him, but Fred picks him up and throws over to Renzo, who Hayoto falls upon. Toshi comes from behind; unfortunately, Fred already knew he was coming. Toshi swings his swords left and right, but Fred dodges them, then Fred jumps and wraps himself around Toshi's body with his super, flexible body and squeezes like a boa, causing Toshi to scream in awful pain.
Shadow and Seka square off, none of them making the first move. Then, Seka lets out a wind attack, but Shadow disappear then reappears, dodging the attack.
He holds out his arm and replies, "Shadow cannon!"
With that, he sends multiple, black laser beams at her. If Seka wasn't so exhausted, she would've dodge it, but she didn't and hit the shadow wall hard.
"So tell me, do you feel lucky now?" asked Shadow, mocking her.
"Well, at lease I'm not a coward, who lets others weaken your opponent, just so it be easier for you to have a crack at me, because he knows I'm too powerful for him!" said Seka.
"How dare you, human! I wasn't even going to come, until the king suggested it!" replied Shadow.
"Then
why is your name on the list!?" asked Seka, holding the list up
to
him.
"Give me that!!" said Shadow, getting angrier.
He reads it and his and Fred's names are on the list.
"Well...I guess Tomahawk 2.0 knew we were coming, but it doesn't matter! What does it that I finally get another chance at you! You humiliated me in front of my peers, and now I finally going to get my revenge! Shadow the shadow monster never screws up a mission… never!!" replied Shadow.
"Ah, what's the matter, having pride issues?" replies Seka, mocking him back.
Shadow in furious now, he grabs Seka and throws her to the shadow wall, shattering through it.
"Who's having pride issues now, oh mighty Seka!?" asked Shadow.
"Not me, you pathetic excuse for a monster!" replied Seka.
Shadow's arms stretches out, grabbing her by the throat and pulling her to him, with rage in his eyes.
"Even when you are at the brink of destruction, you still find time to insult me. It's getting rather annoying, don't you think!!" said Shadow with a growl, squeezing her neck causing her to gasp for air.
Out
of nowhere, Hayoto bites Shadow's arm. Shadow let out a scream before
he
he let go of Seka.
"You going to pay for that!" exclaim Shadow.
Then out of his own Hayoto's shadow, a giant fist comes shooting out, and Hayoto hits the ground hard. Seka swings around and slaps Shadow in the face with her staff. Shadow slowly turns back to her, angrier then before. His leg flies at her, but she dodges, though he swings it around and hits his mark.
Back with Renzo and Toshi, things are not looking so good for them. Fred grabs Renzo by the arm and kicks him in the face and under the arm, then flips him onto his back. Toshi come from behind again, but Fred gives him the elbow, right in the gut. Fred reaches back and grabs Toshi, by...the...ears! Then throws him over head.
Shadow shows off some of his kung fu skills on Seka, as he chops her across the stomach and flips himself over to her others side and kicks her, sending her to the ground face first. Hayoto charges at him, but Shadow swing kicks him away, then uses his laser eyes on him. Seka doubles back and launches another wind attack at him, from behind, sending him flying away in a twister, but then disappears in mid air. Seka looks up in shock seeing Shadow gone in a blink of an eye. But then notices her own shadow stretch out from underneath her. Then it stands up right, creating a shadow clone of Seka. It twirls its own staff, like the Monkey King in The Forbidden Kingdom, then afterwards, does come and get me signal. Seka jumps into the like a kung fu master then her clone, and they do battle. The shadow clones swings at her, but misses. Seka's staff clashed with the clone's shadow staff. Then, she jumps into the air again, and come down with a strong wind attack, slamming the shadow thing with a powerful, down pour of wind, destroying it. Shadow reemerges as himself, impressed of her actions.
Shadow replies, "Impressive neko, but tell me this, why do you keep fighting, after you lost everything?"
"I haven't lost anything, freak!!" said Seka.
"Of course you have! You lost Hayoto, you lost your family, you lost your son, and now you're losing yourself! Now who's the bigger freak? Me...or you?" said Shadow.
Seka started to lose it after that comment! She burst at him like lightning, rage setting in. She swung her weapon at him, but he leans out of the way over and over, until his leg stretches high into the sky and came crashing down on her. Shadow begins to walk around her in circles, watching her with amusement. Seka glared back at Shadow, daring him to back the first move. Shadow fores his laser eyes, but Seka manage to evade it. She then sends fourth a wind attack, Shadow disappears then reappears again, then lunges at her with his fists flying through the air. Seka flips out of danger.
Back with the aliens and Fred, things are still not looking so good for them. Hayoto charges, but Fred jumps over his head, pounds him to the ground. With one swift movement, Fred releases Hayoto, but makes him spin like a top until he crashes into a side of a car. Hayoto falls to the ground in serious pain; the wound from his fight with Rock and Roll has not heal popularly yet. He grasps his arms, shouting in pain, and then Fred came at him with no remorse, in his 'angle grinder attack', pressing him against the car, causing even more pain. Toshi got up and seeing a comrade in trouble, came to his rescue, but Fred doubles back and hits Toshi head on.
Seka is not looking so hot while Shadow continues his assault. She swings at him, but he leans out of the way, and round kicks her in the head. Seka falls to the ground. Then a giant foot came crashing down on her. Shadow looked down at his down foe and says,
"Well, look at the mighty Seka now, weak and helpless. You should have just gave me the baby when you had the chance, we were only going to keep him for a little while, and now, he stays with us! And he's going to end up just like me."
Seka looks up back at him and replies, "What?" almost gasping it out.
"That's right. I too was taken away from my mother at his age cause my mother broke the law. And just like Ryu, I am half human! So gaze upon me, for I am the end result of your son! And now all you have to do now is say two, little words. 'I surrender', then all your wishes will come true. You'll have your son back, you'll have the dream life with Hayoto with his and your family together, a kind, loving family, with us monsters! So what do you say, Seka? Surrender?" replies Shadow.
Seka, though it was tempting, that is what she wanted to whole time, a life with Hayoto, where her family and his could live at peace with Ryu in her arm again. But she didn't need to think, she knew the answer and it was "NO!"
She grabs his foot and spun him off. That made him madder as he fired another laser eyes attack, but she dodged it and he accidentally destroyed his own shadow wall. Shadow is stunned for what he done, Seka sees this as an opportunity to counter attack. So she goes low and swings at his feet, but he catches the staff and they now go into a death struggle. Fred, seeing his tag partner in trouble, spins Toshi towards them. Shadow spots this and lets go of Seka, causing the two to run right into each other.
"Switch?" asked Shadow.
"Oh yeah!!" replied Fred.
Now Fred fights Seka and Shadow deals with the aliens.
Seka kicks Toshi off of her, calling him a jerk. Then Shadow shoots out his hand, grabs Toshi and throws him over to the other side of the parking lot. Fred then goes on the attack, swinging his fist at high speeds at Seka, who uses her staff to block. Fred, seeing that this isn't going to work, goes flat on the ground and kicks her staff out of her hands. He gets back up and draws out his clawed finger, slashing both of her arms, making huge scars. Fred them draws back his finger and cries out the attack "Rocket punch!" sending flying through the door of her won apartment. Fred laughs aloud in celebration. Seka jumps down from the second story and slams Fred with her foot, right in the head.
She replies, "That's for taking my son, freak!"
She swing kicks, but he blocks and from there on, she does the attacking and Fred does the blocking, until he gives her a punch in the face, boxing style!
The aliens don't even fair well with Shadow, as they're tossed about all over the place. Seka, finally having enough of Fred, grabs his big nose, stretches it and lets go, causing him to go flying into the sky. He lands right on Shadow, just when he was about to kill Toshi with his shadow blade.
Toshi get up, looks at Seka and says, "You know, I could've got out of that, without your assistance."
"You're not welcome." replies Seka.
Shadow kicks Toshi and Fred comes out of nowhere and slams Seka to the cement. Then they switch targets again. Shadow with Seka and Fred goes after the aliens. Seka retrieves her staff and sends a wind attack, only to have it send make at her when Shadow turns into a fan and blows it back, causing her to crash to the side of her apartment building. Fred juggles the aliens then throws them which ever way he pleased. Seka emerges from the rumble and attacks again. Shadow weaves out of danger and round kicks her again.
Seka backs up against the apartment complex and says to Gameboy, "Hey has it been 5 minutes yet?"
He replies, "Actually, its been 8 minutes!"
"What!?" asked Seka in a rage.
"Sorry sweetheart, but we plan to get rid of you right here and now! And Fred and Shadow are the best way to go out, other then by royal family member!" says GameBoy, looking down on his cat foe.
Fred rejoins Shadow as he jumps over his head and punches Seka onto a car, while she was distracted. Fred picks up the car and throws it, but Seka jumped off in the nick of time, landing behind Fred. The car explodes in the street. Fred turns and eyes Seka as he laughs hysterically, as his eyes, now appearing like laser panel almost, making him look menacing. Seka was about to attack again when Shadow came at her with his foot, smashing her against the apartment. Fred and shadow join together as Fred got ready to do his angle grinder attack again. Shadow grabbed him and began spinning him around and around like a hula hoop on his arm. Faster and faster the monsters went, faster then Fred has ever gone, until Shadow released the goofy monster, sending Fred straight at Seka and sends her flying through the building.
The aliens, after recuperating a bit, got back on their feet and charged at the two monsters, with Toshi leading them. The monsters advance, clobbering the aliens easily. Fred and Shadow have proven that they are a perfect match for Mew Seka, and superior to the powerless aliens.
Your turn, Mississippigirl13!!
Seka groaned as she held her head and tried to stand, "This isn't working… we can't beat them…"
She looked around her and saw the destroyed buildings. They said they wouldn't hurt anyone… it wound be a miracle if that was still the case. She needed to get her and the aliens out of there, that way people wouldn't be hurt anymore. And then she saw it. She smiled. Jumping down from the building she landed by Renzo and grabbed him, pulling him behind a car and covering his mouth with her hand.
"Shh, listen close. We don't want the monsters to hear…" Hopefully Toshi and Hayoto would distract them for a bit.
Shadow's lasers shot at said two aliens and they dove into hiding behind a brick wall fence, but it was ripped apart with Fred's telepathic abilities, sending it toppling on top of them. Thye were buried beneath the rubble.
"Why are they beating us up?" Toshi growled to his comrade. "We aren't the ones kicking their butts every day. Why don't they just kill the mew and be done with it?"
"In case you forgot, they did kill our parents once. Don't you think that gives them reason to attack us?" Hayoto reasoned.
Before the purple-haired alien could reply they were pulled up and tossed through the air, lading on the hard concrete with a splat.
"Hey, where'd your little girlfriend get off to?" Fred asked Hayoto, using his physic power to keep him pinned, pushing down hard and squishing him. "Do you think we killed her?" he asked Shadow.
He shook his head, "No, she's tougher than that…"
"Why thank you, bit head! And Fred, have I told you just how grossly huge I find your nose to be?"
Both monsters turned to see the catgirl standing by the entrance of the apartment complex. They growled at hearing her steal their insults for one another.
"Hey, who do you think you are?! Only I can call Shadow 'Big Head'!" Fred yelled.
She forged an innocent face, "Oh, I'm sorry! From now on I'll stick with just calling him looser!"
"Hey!" she was pushing all their buttons.
"Well, you are a fully grown, powerful monster, right? So that makes you a few hundred years older than me, giving you a whole bunch of years worth of more fighting experience. And yet you still lost to me… embarrassing you in front of all your peers… wouldn't that be considered as being a looser?" her eyes were wide and innocent, but a taunting twinkle was visible.
Shadow's blood was boiling. He and Fred shared a look before charging at her. She stood her ground, and then right before they hit her she made her move.
"Now Renzo!" the monsters stumbled, surprised, and a fire alarm went off. Seka took this time and grabbed a fire extinguisher and sprayed the two, yelling at Renzo to get Hayoto and Toshi out quickly and she'd follow.
The two monsters were foamy and freezing and tried to grab her, but then people were flooding into the parking lot, scared of the monsters but more scared of dieing in a fire. The chances of surviving out here were more likely. Seka let them drag her away, dodging monsters as they combed the crowd of screaming people. She spotted the aliens struggling to undo a sewer vent. She helped and pushed them down as quickly as they could move, following and sliding the vent back in place. The monsters had no idea where they were, or that they were already out of the crowd and in safety.
"Hurry, we need to get as far away as fast as possible." Seka ordered, taking the lead. IT was completely dark and they had no choice but to follow the sound of her splashing walk.
They walked for what must have been an hour before Seka was convinced they could leave without the threat of being immediately attacked again. They climbed out another vent and hid in a dirty, abandoned back alley. Leaning against the brick walls they finally paused to catch their breaths.
"Okay, let's take care of our own wounds…" the teen girl sighed. She first looked at Renzo and cleaned his few cuts to the best of her ability, having no supplies to help. She turned to Toshi but he jerked away.
"You got us in this mess to begin with…" he muttered.
She laughed scornfully, "Excuse me? I didn't make you pop up, that was all you. And in case you've forgotten, I just saved your damn life. Not once, but twice. I could have let you die, and trust me I did consider it. So you'd better show me a bit more respect, or I might not be so kind the next time you're in a life or death situation." She turned on her heels, her hair flying around her, and moved on to Hayoto. His arm was awful.
"It's nothing," he said, catching the worried look in her eyes.
"Right and Shadow is really a carebear." She countered. He cracked a smile and she shifted back into her human form, pulling her shirt off to leave only a thin, tight tank top. His eyes popped out and he glanced at Toshi and Renzo.
"W-what are you doing?" his voice was shaky.
She rolled her eyes, "I need some sort of bandage for this, and a wash cloth…" She ripped the shirt and handed a small part of it to Renzo. "Could you run into a store and wet this with soapy water?" he nodded, trying to keep his eyes on her face, and not… hey, he's thirteen, he can't help it.
She ripped more of the shirt and brushed away the tried blood from Hayoto's arm, careful not to hurt him. Her hands moved expertly. Being a leader made cleaning wounds a synch. You did it so often it had to be. Renzo finally came back and Seka washed the huge cut, soaking up the fresher blood. Hayoto winced slightly at the sting of the soap, but otherwise let her work. She finally used the unused, clean art of her shirt and made it into a sort of temporary bandage.
"You'll be weak for awhile, and sleepy because of all the blood loss, but otherwise you'll live." She concluded before standing up and moving away from the aliens. She was still cut and bloody, one large gash in each arm, but it seemed she would be making no move to clean herself up.
"What about you…?"
She shrugged, "I've had worse. Besides, I only have one shirt left, and I'm not taking it off." She crossed her arms and sat leaning against the alley wall, "You guys try and sleep. You'll need your energy whenever the monsters find us."
"How do we know you won't kill us in our sleep?" Toshi accused, suspicious as always.
"If I was going to kill you I would have just escaped on my own, and I defiantly wouldn't have cleaned you guys up. That was one of my favorite shirts."
He couldn't find anything to say to that so instead just lay down and turned to face away from her. The others followed suit, and soon it was just Seka, awake with only her thoughts as company. She didn't sleep that night.
Back when they made their escape; Monsters' POV
Shadow and Fred reached for the girl, trying frantically to grab hold of her, but the crowd pushed her along and made them go in an entirely different direction. Both shivered from the cold of having the foam on them.
"Don't let her get away!" Shadow yelled out, and instantly all the monsters who had been watching dove into the crowd, trying to find and grab her.
The people were all screaming from both fear of the fire and of the strange creatures around them. Fred and Shadow grabbed girl after girl, only to find they weren't Seka. Eventually the parking lot was empty of anyone but the monsters. Shadow stood there stock still and trying to hold in his rage. She'd gotten away. Again.
"Great job, she gave you the slip again!" Fred laughed.
"Hey genius, you let her get away too." Shadow reminded, his voice steady.
Fred stopped, thinking, then his eyes widened as he realized this was true, "NO!"
Shadow smirked, then looked around, puzzled. "How did they get out though? We had monsters stationed at all of the exits… the aliens couldn't levitate or teleport… it just doesn't make sense…"
"I know one thing. Wiretox is going to kill us. As in deep fried and barbequed." Fred said, his eyes wide with fear. Wiretox didn't seem to have much forgiveness when it came to that mischievous cat…
Shadow nodded, grinding his teeth, "When I see that cat again she'll wish she'd never been born…"
"Hey, isn't that what you said last time, big head?" Fred asked thoughtfully.
"Shut up big nose!"
