Chaotic: Creatures in human world
Chapter 8: Thief vs the Prince
It was the last day of the week end and they the 3 humans; Guy, Alexander and Myna have done they homework and have rest after the happen Friday. Guy and Alex have decided that they shall go to the lac and tries to obtain fish. It was an unusual hot day for October but they decide it shall be a good day to relax. They've invited Myna but she refuses because she doesn't like fishing but she'll eat the fish if they got one during the night. Vinta and Odu-Bathax accept to follow them. Letha gives to the 2 the money they need to obtain a boat strong enough to support the weight of the 4 of them and they walk to the lake. They obtain the boat and they go searching the creatures hiding near and they begin fishing.
On the lake
"So...How do we do this?" Asks Vinta. He was also impressing by so much water in a single place. The lake also is full of life.
Odu-Bathax was also looking at the water. In the hive, he never sees such things like a lake. He realises he may miss some of the beauty of Perim but won't complain about it.
"You take the fishing rod." Begins to explain Guy. "You but a bait to attract the fish to bite this small hook." Vinta and Odu-Bathax did has he explain. "Then you take some distance of me because I don't want to catch you." The both take some distance. "You then imitate the throw action without letting go of the fish rod." The hook flies away and falls in the water. "Then...You slowly pull the hook back that way. When it is not immobilise, you have more chance to attract fish. But if you get bore, you just let it there and wait for the fish to catch it."
The 2 creatures did what he has told the right way and they start fishing it slowly. It wasn't something needs to be hasty and they begin to relax.
At a street of the town
Myna...and Mudeenu invisible of course, are walking at one of the street near the Patriot bank. She decides that she needs to find some clothes that may be necessary for Mudeenu. He, even if he doesn't say it out loud, starts to stink because of his clothes and eventually agree with her. He also doesn't want to walk around naked...Not the way a prince should act. So they were entering in a luxury shop where clothes were high price, but it is smart clothes...for human standard. Myna was observing the man section and tries searching something of the right side of Mudeenu. When she picks something for his size, which is hard for this 6 and half ft. and muscular body. Also...She'll need to make a hole for his tail if he wants to wear it. She knows it won't go unnoticed from her parents...When they shall return home...Someday. She searches for a while and when she takes clothes, Mudeenu whispered that he didn't like it and this continue until they pass everything. When they both realise that, Mudeenu has no choice but to be more open mind and choose, without knowing it, 2 tuxedos, 2 pairs of pants, large enough for his legs and 2 big T-shirts. Myna knows that the winter is slowly coming, she buys a winter overcoat. When Mudeenu asks why, she answers that the season is changing and that the cold is slowly coming to this side of the world.
On the lake
The 4 continues fishing but they got nothing during the first hour. Vinta looks at the trees and realise that they are more...colorful then the time they were in the wood.
"Why those trees leaf are changing color?" Asks Vinta.
Odu-Bathax hears the question and looks around.
"It's the sign of the season changing." Says Alex. "Lots of rain might come when the hurricane reaches here...But it doesn't happen often."
"What is the season now?" Asks Vinta.
"Fall. It is the time of the year where the temperature goes down and we have less and less sun during the day. The nights are longer. The next season is winter and it is cold and snow falls from the sky instead of rain." Answers Alex.
"In Perim in general...There are only 2 seasons and no extreme temperature changing." Says Vinta from personal experience in the desert.
"And we don't have season where we live." Says Odu-Bathax.
"It depends of the place in the world...But sometimes...Even hot desert gets cold snow and that really affect them since they are not use like us." Says Alex.
"Really?" Asks Vinta.
"He's surely messing with you." Says Odu-Bathax.
"No...I'm serious." Says Alex.
"..." Odu-Bathax says nothing else.
Near the Patriot Bank
Myna and Mudeenu, still invisible, were passing near the Patriot bank once again. Mudeenu stops her.
"I've the man." Says Mudeenu.
Myna turns around and sees the thief of last time.
"So he decides to attack during the day...But there are people in there." Says Myna. She then follows the thief, knowing that Haizen must be somewhere and she sees at the entrance that it is close the Sunday. "There's only guard then."
"I shall go alone." Says Mudeenu.
"Not this time." She says.
"But you can't turn invisible." Protests Mudeenu.
"I know and I don't care." Says Myna. "I'll call the others and...Houston we has a problem."
"The names Mudeenu." Corrects Mudeenu.
"It's an expression...Anyway...I don't have their cell number and they don't have mine...We are on our own anyway...They are half an hour away fishing fish." Whines Myna.
"By where shall we pass?" Asks Mudeenu.
"By the window...Too risky by the door." Says Myna.
They walk around the bank until they find a window.
"There!" Says Mudeenu. "Climb on my back."
Myna did as he asks.
"Ouch! Don't pull my horns that way." Whines Mudeenu.
Myna then puts her arms around his neck.
"Better?" She asks.
"B...Better." Says Mudeenu a little nervous. He feels her soft arms and made his cheek turns a little red until he refocus on his task.
On the lake
The 4 continue fishing and still no fish has trying to catch up. Alex has his back against the back of his partner and they decide to wait for the fish to take the bait but they are smart today. Then, it changes.
"I think I got one." Says Odu-Bathax. He slowly begins to pull off but the fish was strong and he has some trouble pulling the fish in the ship.
"You have a big one!" Says Alex. "They are very strong under water. The stronger they are and the more time you need to catch them."
The big fish jumps out of the water before returning in.
"Yeah! A big one!" Shouts Guy.
Odu-Bathax begins to pull off for a while.
Inside the Patriot Bank
Mudeenu was on the top of the building but he sees that everyone is asleep. He then gets down and Myna gets down Mudeenu back and they decide to search for the thief. They search for the thief when Myna remembers that all their stuff they buy was with her. They keep searching for a while until they see Haizen and Jecome waiting for the 2.
"We've been waiting for you." Says Jecome. "Camera cut."
"You were?" Asks Myna.
"Yes...Haizen has some...unfinished business with Mudeenu and want to finish it once and for all." Says Jecome.
"That's right." Says Haizen.
"Fine by me." Says Mudeenu.
"Mudeenu...I have one question...Why did you come here?" Asks Haizen.
"Why do you ask such question?" Says Mudeenu.
"Did you come here and try a safe place for the mipedian...or have you come here because you think you can find the Cothica?" Asks Haizen.
"To find a safe place for our tribe." Answers Mudeenu.
"I don't believe this at all Mudeenu. Sometime...You've let down your tribe for the quest of the Cothica." Says Haizen.
"Fuh...Like I should listen to a thief." Says Mudeenu.
"It is said that Skuulk have obtain the plans of the Torwegg in the official story. I think you know that's not true." Says Haizen with devious look.
"What!?" Asks Mudeenu. He knows where he's coming.
"Skuulk never search for the plan of this Battlegear...I did!" Says Haizen. "I have done this for the mipedian and I didn't care if I obtain nothing! I'm a thief and I'm more loyal to my tribe than you! A prince who let his own tribe down! I'm better fit has a prince than you!" Says Haizen.
"You...YOU LIAR!" Screams Mudeenu losing his cold by such insult. He charges at Haizen who blocks the attack of Mudeenu and counter with a punch on Mudeenu jaw. "I'll get you."
"Mudeenu calm down!" Orders Myna.
"I don't care!" Says Mudeenu to enrage to listen to her. He charges again.
Haizen jumps over Mudeenu.
"WindSlash!" Shouts Haizen hitting the back of Mudeenu.
Myna runs at the side of Mudeenu.
"Mudeenu! You are too reckless!" Says Myna.
"Shut up! He'll regret insulting me!" Shouts Mudeenu.
Myna closes her hands and punches strongly Mudeenu left cheek and it hurts him.
On the lake
"I almost...got the...damn fish." Says Odu-Bathax.
He then succeeds and the big fish was in the boat. It was a long and majestic fish from their eyes.
"I'll finish it." Says Vinta. He then hits the fish and he kills it, putting an end to his pain.
Alex takes it and put it in a box with cold ice.
"I got the biggest fish!" Says Odu-Bathax proudly. "Usually, I'm always proud of guarding the queen...But this is another type of satisfaction."
"I shall obtain a bigger fish than you Danian." Says Vinta with more respect than when he says danian before.
"Maybe we'll have a bigger one." Says Alex.
They continue fishing for the rest of the day.
In the Patriot Bank
Mudeenu put his left hand on his painful left cheek and look at Myna surprise. He was hit by her...She gives him the cold glare but...She never actually punches him. He looks at Myna who's looking at him with frustration and...A hint of deception about him.
"W...Why?" Asks Mudeenu.
"You've lose your cool! You act like an idiot!" Shouts Myna.
"He insults me!" Protests Mudeenu.
"If you react that way you prove him he's right!" Shouts Myna.
"...But..." Mudeenu immediately calm down.
"Why did you come here?" Asks Myna.
"The true...It is for both reason...I want to save the tribe but at the same time I want to find the Cothica...I...I don't know where my personal desire starts and where I want to save my tribe." Admits Mudeenu.
"You admit it!" Says Haizen.
"It doesn't matter! You are here and you can make it right!" Says Myna.
"..." Mudeenu looks at her calmly. "You...You are right."
"It is still an egoist reason." Says Haizen.
"The other true element is...I didn't even want to come here." Says Mudeenu. "He...forces me."
"There's no one who can force you Mudeenu...Except..." Then Haizen knows what's coming next.
"That's right...My cousin...The crown mipedian Iflar orders me to come in this world...I protest strongly because I'll leave him behind! Iflar didn't come here!" Shouts Mudeenu.
"The crown prince refuses to come here!" Says Haizen. "It's dangerous in Perim and he knows it more than any mipedian."
"That is why he stays behind...Myna..." No word is says for a few seconds. "This time we shall stop those thieves...together!" Says Mudeenu.
"Good...I don't want to punch you again...Your head is way too solid." Says Myna.
"I'm a tough prince warrior! What did you expect?" Says Mudeenu.
Myna takes a car out of her pocket.
"Scaly only." Says Myna.
Jecome takes out a card too.
"I also play this game before the creatures come here and realise that all is true." Says Jecome.
"I won't give a comment about the age." Says Myna.
"CARD SLASH!" She then puts the card in the reading section of the card. "BATTLEGEAR DESERT SWORD ACTIVATES!"
A sword appears in the right hand of Mudeenu. It is a silver curve sword with a golden hilt. The pummel also has a ruby on it.
"CARD SLASH!" Jecome then puts the card in the reading section of the card. "BATTLEGEAR CYCLANCE ACTIVATES!"
Golden staff appears in the hand of Haizen.
Myna wonders why he does that but she sees some minor difference. There's some silver element on the stick and a little emerald at the top of the staff.
"That's a rare cyclance I obtain." Says Jecome.
"I guess it boost the wind power." Says Myna.
"That's right!" Shouts Haizen. "Lighting burst!"
Mudeenu receives it on his chest and flies against a wall.
"That hurt." Says Mudeenu. "Flash Kick!"
He hits the face of Haizen. He didn't lose time and jumps in the air and attack with the sword which is block by the cyclance of Haizen. They that turn into a sword staff fight for a while and Mudeenu slowly gets the upper hand by more experience is sword fight. Mudeenu forces him to move backward when Jecome decides to act.
"CARD SLASH! Speed enhancement activates!" Shouts Jecome.
Haizen suddenly accelerates the attack and it is the turn for Mudeenu to move backward and dodges the attack. Mudeenu then receives a blow to his face and one to his left leg and he falls on his knee by the pain. He looks at Haizen furiously.
Myna takes 2 cards and does a combo.
"CARD SLASH! Speed enhancement activates!" Shouts Myna. "CARD SLASH! Strength enhancement activates!" She shouts again.
Mudeenu gives one blow with his sword and Haizen loses his cyclance by the strength of the attack. Jecome didn't expect this so he has no time to counter that Mudeenu gives one powerful punch in Haizen gut and he falls on the ground. Mudeenu puts his left feet on the mipedian thief back and maintain him on the ground.
"You've lost." Says Mudeenu.
"Yeah." Says Haizen who stops struggling. He admits his defeat. "You were telling the true then."
"Both were true. I say that I'm not sure why I come here because I cannot find my true motive to accept being here...also...Since I was force to come here in dark times I've try to find a reason." Says Mudeenu more calmly. He turns to Myna. "What do we do now?"
"Jecome...Why are you trying to steal my parents?" Asks Myna.
"You are a rich girl then." Says Jecome. "You don't really wear the rich kind of clothes."
"I'm not a crazy buyer." She then sees he notices the bag. "That's for Mudeenu not me...I don't wear tuxedo...To weird." Says Myna.
"The reason I steal your parents...because they are rich. I know that they put high value stuff here." Says Jecome.
"You are a weird thief...From what Letha says...Half of what you steal goes in the government taxes...I don't know how you do it and I don't care...You also doesn't appear to be rich...Where's the rest go?" Asks Myna.
"To trustable international humanitarian aid." Answers Jecome. It was the true. Letha has done her research and she explains to her that after every time Jecome stole a bank...A humanitarian aid receives money.
It was hard to believe but Myna knows he's telling the true.
"Mudeenu...Let them go." Says Myna.
"What?!" Asks Mudeenu.
Jecome and Haizen were surprise too.
"They won't cause us trouble." Says Myna.
"Are you sure?" Asks Mudeenu.
"If Haizen stick out with him I think we can let them go. We can let this Robin Hood go free." Says Myna.
"...Alright." Says Mudeenu unsure. He releases Haizen who walks by the side of Jecome.
...
"Thank you Myna." Says Jecome. "We have to go."
"Wait!" Says Myna.
Jecome and Haizen stops.
"Where did you get this scanner?" Asks Myna.
"It was just at the front of my door suddenly one day." Answers Jecome. "I think they wish I cause trouble and dead but they didn't know me well. Where did you get yours?"
"A mysterious and crazy shopkeeper...But I guess he wasn't crazy at all when Mudeenu suddenly appears the same day...My friends too. The day they receive it is they day their partner appears." Says Myna.
"I see...That's...worrisome." Says Jecome and he walk away with his partner.
Myna and Mudeenu also decides to return home before anyone wake up and sees them.
"I hope you've done the right decision Myna." Says Mudeenu, when they were outside.
"I know I've chosen the right thing." Says Myna.
On the way to Guy home
It was the end of the day and the 4 fishers where happy of the results. They manage to catch 5 fishes inside the cold lock and they walk at Guy's home to cook them. On their way, they see Myna joining them before they reach their home.
"Did you get some fishes?" Asks Myna.
"5...The biggest one is still the first Odu caught." Says Alex.
"Good...We can cook them at my home...I'll invite you this time." Says Myna.
"But you parents may see us." Protests Vinta.
"No...They are not here for still a while so it is fine and the servants are absent." Says Myna.
"Servant?" Asks the 4.
"You'll see when we are home." Says Myna. "Oh yeah! We forgot to exchange our phone number."
"You were trying to call us?" Asks Guy. "What happen?"
Myna explains everything that happens while they follow her.
Myna home
When the group stops near her house, they were silent and impress, more Guy and Alex. The house seems like a little palace, 3 floors, 100 rooms...maybe more, lots of space, golf court at the back. Yeah...Myna is a very rich girl.
"Why are you in a public school?" Asks Alex.
"Because I beat up some person in private school...I was not...girly enough for them." Says Myna. She then becomes a little angry. "It was a girl school and they say I was scary and fighting like a man. They even say I was lesbian! I am not!"
"We never think that!" Says Guy.
"I know...No one says that in public school and it is less troublesome for me." Says Myna. "I disappoint my parents...But I have no regret."
"Why do you live here?" Asks Odu-Bathax.
"Parents buy this place...They were attract by it and I think all this Perim stuff has something to do with this." Says Myna. "Like it is trying to assemble us."
"I see...It is true that this city has some kind of attraction." Says Vinta. "I mean...All the creatures and us appears here."
"Mudeenu was an exception." Says Myna. "Speaking of him...What's taking him so long?"
"He's here?" Asks Guy.
"Of course...He won't sleep outside and there's a secret room where he sleeps." Says Myna. "I don't want anyone to spot him. So...Do you want to enter?"
"Of course!" They say.
She opens the door and the inside was massive. Lots of luxury lies everywhere, rare and expensive paints were present, expensive tables, chairs, an expensive kitchen next to those tables...and that was just what can be seen at the entrance and to their right. They didn't have the courage to look the other way...fearing they heart might stops.
"Mudeenu! Are you ready?" Shouts Myna.
"Yeah...Just feel...out of place with this." Answers Mudeenu. His voice comes from the second floor. The group can see the beautiful stairs of stone leading to the second floor.
"Let's prepare the fish." Says Guy.
They begin preparing it in the kitchen the fishes and after making sure they take out some part of the fishes, they start baking it.
"I'm coming." Says Mudeenu.
While they were cooking it they see Mudeenu getting down of the stairs and the 4 boys look at Mudeenu and stares at him.
Mudeenu appears to be really out of place and hesitant in those clothes. He was wearing one of the 2 black tuxedos he has. The clothes were the right size and it shows Mudeenu in a more gentleman way. The bottom part has a hole for the tail to go out and it was the right size too. Mudeenu face was of course the same, but it gives him another impression.
For the eyes of the 4, Mudeenu was out of place. Odu-Bathax didn't hesitate and laugh at him strongly. Alex and Guy resist by turning the attention on the fish while Vinta didn't want to be impolite but the danian wasn't helping at all and he starts laughing too. The laugh ends by Myna cold glare. After a while, the fishes were ready and they eat at the fancy table and the 4 return to their home.
"I know I was ridiculous." Sigh Mudeenu.
"Who can expect this?" Asks Myna pointing the tuxedo.
"...True." Says Mudeenu.
"When you armor is clean...You'll wear it for battles and outside...tuxedos at home." Sasy Myna.
"Better that way." Says Mudeenu.
"You know...You are quite handsome that way." Says Myna.
"I'm always handsome." Says Mudeenu with a smile and nervous voice.
Night: ?
Jecome and Haizen, invisible, where walking outside for a while and think about what to do next when a man stands in their way.
"Who are you?" Asks Jecome.
"I'm just a man." Says the mysterious person.
"What do you want?" Asks Jecome cautiously.
"Well..." He suddenly pushes Jecome at abnormal speed and takes the replica scanner. He looks at it for a few seconds before breaking it with his hand and put an end to the false pact between Jecome and Haizen.
"Try using an original one." Says the man giving him an orange scanner. He also gives him the instruction book.
"What are you?" Asks Jecome.
"Just an ally." Says the mysterious one. "I need you to find those who make the false one with your...skills...If things gets out of control...If the replica scanners are too numerous...everything will fall apart and it is game over for both worlds."
He then walks away and disappears.
"It only has the appearance of a human." Says Haizen. "...But it's not a creature too."
"Yeah...I think we shall do this..." Says Jecome.
"Yeah...and keep an eye on him too." Says Haizen.
They then walk away after reforming...this time...A true pact.
"The next one is an Underworlder... Michael Grey prepares yourself for a visitor." Says the mysterious man.
Night: Alexander home
"I'm home!" Says Alex when he enters in the house.
"Welcome home." Says Alex mother.
"Hi mom!" He says with a smile. He then looks at his father and says with hint anger toward him: "Hi dad."
He didn't bother answering him. Alex walks to his chamber when he hears his sister say cheerfully.
"Hi big bro!"
She is a young girl of 8 years old. She has blond hair with teal eyes. She has peach skin, which is strange since their mother has peach skin and their father black skin. Alex knows she isn't adopted since he sees the birth. She wears small robes most of the time. This night was a blue one. She heritages the same passion of the insect than her big brother; her name...is Sarah Laurence.
"Hi little sis!" Says Alex with a smile.
"What are you doing?" She asks.
"I'm going to bed...Tomorrow is school." Says Alex.
"Alright...See you tomorrow." She says.
Alex enters in his chamber and goes to sleep. He wasn't tire but he needs to sleep in case of another night case.
AC: This is the end of the chapter 8.
Can you imagine Mudeenu in a tuxedo?
If you can't...It's understandable...But he'll wear it some time.
I think you also notice some strange behavior in Mudeenu too. If now, you are not really reading it.
In the next one shall appears 2 oc propose by blastburnman and Blitz190...But only one of them take action in the next chapter.
For those who are interest...You can propose some Oc with a partner...I still have some place...You can also choose a partner creatures but here's the restriction: Chaor isn't an option, Iflar Intress, Agitos, Maxxor and Wamma. They are directly important in the plot. Also...I have enough danian so please choose in the 3 other tribes. The fifth tribe is not an option sadly.
This begins to get worse...slowly and surely.
Next: Pyromaniac!
