Writer's Notes: Alright! Now that I've completed Manipulated, I can concentrate on this, Stained Red, and The Key to my Heart.
Well then, here's chapter 10!
"Are you ready?"
"Of course I am."
"Take as many students as you can. The Academy's protection unit is useless when in shambles."
"Ha! It's useless even when it wasn't in shambles."
"No…don't underestimate Mikan Sakura. She could probably take out everyone here."
"But she's recovering from some sort of incident, right?"
"Exactly. That's why this is the perfect chance. Hotaru Imai only has a single Alice, but she'll bit a bit hard to capture, too."
"This will be easy…Ready?"
"Let's go."
"DAMMIT!" Narumi cursed.
"This isn't going to work. I knew that Luna girl was trouble…" Jinno, the math teacher, with an Alice of lightning, growled.
"You thought Mikan Sakura was trouble, too." Serina, a teacher who saw images through her crystal ball told him.
"Mikan-chan and he gang always protected the school from the AAO!" Narumi said, worried now.
"Even if she had her gang perform the task unknowingly…" Serina mumbled.
"The AAO has attacked several times before, but this will most likely be their most successful. Sakura is in the hospital; her gang is with Koizumi, who I doubt will be able to protect the school. Hyuuga's gang is also with Koizumi…Imai and Tobita can only do so much by themselves…Sakura is the only one who can attack the AAO single-handedly, and come out without many injuries…she's trained with Persona, after all, and multiple Alices are very useful…" Jinno threw is hands up in the air.
"The students won't know what is going on…we need to plan an escape route for them," Serina said.
"Where will we evacuate all the students?!" Narumi yelled. The Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle, and High School division's students added up to a huge number.
"…The only thing we can do is teleport them somewhere else, but no teachers have the teleportation Alice. Noda-sensei is a time-tripper, students ending in unknown places and possibly without a chance of getting back is dangerous." Jinno murmured.
"That's not much we can do…this situation is quite bad right now…"
"SHIT!"
Mikan was awake.
She still lay on her hospital bed, looking out the window, while Hotaru peeled an apple. Well, she used her invention to peel the apple, anyway.
"…something's wrong." Mikan told her friend, as she bit into an apple slice.
"Of course. The AAO's attacking. Can't you hear Narumi, Jinno and Serina-sensei?"
The brunette sighed.
"Feeling useless like this freaking sucks."
"You're recovering, so shut up."
"…"
"Ne, Hotaru? You knew that on certain occasions, when we got a job, sometimes it was the AAO we were dealing with, didn't you?"
"I know who we're dealing with, Mikan. My information source is wider than yours."
"…"
"…"
Hotaru glanced at her leader, and her best friend. Mikan was chewing on an apple slice, thinking.
"…You're going to fight, no matter what, aren't you?"
"The Anti-Alice Organization sells children with Alices, Hotaru. They work as slaves; they get put in the military."
The inventor cringed at this.
Being sold. She knew the feeling.
"…You'll last about seven hours if you don't move around too much. But if you do too much movement, you'll last four. I can give you a painkiller, but your wounds will just hurt more afterwards."
Mikan smiled.
"Thank you, Hotaru."
Luna sat in the classroom like a queen, Hellfire and SAGA members surrounding her.
The door slid open, and in walked Narumi, his face serious for once.
"All right. I'm not exactly sure how to break this to you…"
"To make that blunt, we're going to be attacked by the AAO."
The door slid open again and Mikan, Hotaru and Yuu walked in.
The students gasped, and murmuring broke out.
"Mikan-chan!" Narumi gasped. "Are you sure you should be moving around?"
The brunette shrugged and smiled.
"I'll last about seven hours at the maximum. I'll use some painkiller when I need to." She told him. "After all, nobody else is going to help this place."
"Cut the corny talk. You don't need to last, Sakura," Luna snarled. "For all I care, you can just die."
Natsume winced a bit at Luna's harsh voice. She didn't know the situation.
He had dealt with the Anti-Alice Organization before, and it was not easy. If they needed to, they killed the student. Being killed was not a happy thought, and in a life-and death situation, he didn't need to be reminded of the feeling.
But Mikan laughed, which pissed Luna off even more.
"Oh? That's fine, if you're so confident that you can protect yourself, then I don't need to help you."
"Who said I needed help?" Luna smiled smugly, and glanced at former Hellfire and SAGA members. "I have these."
"Not everyone is a leader, Koizumi. They could take you and kill you; I wouldn't shed a single tear."
Tmp tmp tmp tmp…
Footsteps of large numbers could be heard and Mikan smirked.
"Sensei, if you please, evacuate all students outside."
"Are you CRAZY?!" Anna shouted.
"It'll be easier for them to capture us out there!!" Nonoko added.
The brunette glanced at them.
"You protect yourselves. Koizumi's gang has nothing to do with me. Plus, they're going to burn down the building. If you want to burn to death, that's fine with me."
"…"
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"
"Move, go, hurry!"
All the students screamed, running out the door, a few who were capable jumping out the windows.
And as expected, soon, certain parts of the building were set ablaze.
"Narumi-sensei should get out, too. Fire spreads quickly. Tell me if any students are left in the school and I'll teleport them out."
The violet-eyed teacher nodded and started to evacuate students in other classes.
Soon, many students were near the Northern Forest.
"Is everyone out?" Mikan asked Narumi, who was panting.
"No…there's a little girl stuck inside."
Mikan said nothing more, but snapped her fingers, and instantly, a young girl, about the age of four with blue hair appeared next to them, coughing.
"Well…this is where the hard part starts…"
The brunette sighed as thousands of the AAO members poured into the campus.
"There's more than you expected…" Hotaru said, holding something round in her hand. "Put these glasses on. You too, Tobita."
Mikan and Yuu did as they were told, as Hotaru instructed those without glasses to step back, and she immediately tossed the ball near the approaching AAO members. The ball cracked open and smoke filled the area, blinding the AAO while Mikan and Yuu went into action. They had the special glasses Hotaru made them wear, so they could see everything perfectly.
"Nice, Hotaru," Mikan whistled, as she activated an Alice.
She slammed her hands onto the ground, creating a large crater, while a large amount of members fell in. Thick vines and overgrowth blocked the members who missed the hole, tangling them together.
But more were coming, and Mikan could tell that they could manage their Alices very well.
Mikan bit her thumb, blood oozing out steadily.
"Gomen ne, Hotaru. It appears that I'll need some painkiller later. If I don't overdo it."
The brunette bit her other thumb, both hands now having a thin line of blood running down her hands.
Hotaru sighed.
"If you die, I'll kill you."
Mikan laughed. "If I'm dead you can't kill me…baka Hotaru…"
The genius inventor walked away as the brunette clapped her hands together.
"You're the baka, Mikan…"
As Mikan pulled her hands apart, they could see a blood-red sword forming.
"Hotaru!"
"I'm on it…"
"Yuu?"
"Hai!"
"Oniwa ni umeta kuchuu ROCKET choudo hiraita
Mukashi todoita enban REPORT sore e hijiketa!"
Hotaru sang, swinging around her own sword.
Mikan looked at and smiled. It was rare Hotaru wanted to start a song.
The former Frozen Sakura members recognized the song immediately.
It was time to play.
"Ukabu
gimon gimon gimon naze ni hajikeru
gimon gimon gimon naze ni sou naru
gimon gimon gimon ima wa dou omou
gimon gimon gimon dare mo ittenai..."
She and Hotaru waited for the AAO to move first, then spun around, jumping, running, flipping, doing all sorts of tricks to both doge and attack.
"Oniwa ni umeta kuchuu ROCKET choudo hiraita
mukashi todoita enban REPORT sore e hijiketa
tojimari shita kinkuu SOCKET ima wa konagona
omoi tsutzutta kimi e no RECORD sora e tobashita"
The numbers were decreasing by a lot, and at a steady speed. The students stared in shock and the younger children squealed in delight. Jinno smiled slightly and nodded his head in satisfaction.
"Ukabu
sakebu
gimon gimon gimon naze ni hajikeru
gimon gimon gimon naze ni sou naru
gimon gimon gimon ima wa dou omou
gimon gimon gimon dare mo ittenai."
In one hour, all the present AAO members were down.
Mikan looked at Hotaru, slightly out of breath, and smiled cheerfully. The raven-haired girl smiled back, and they high-fived.
"That was fun," the brunette said, as her sword turned into a puddle of blood, slipping from her hands.
"I'm glad we amused you, Sakura-san," a male voice said.
The two girls turned to see a red-haired man and violet eyes, a lighter shade than Hotaru's and Narumi's.
Mikan narrowed her eyes, and spoke to Luna and the former SAGA and Hellfire members without turning to look at them.
"Luna Koizumi, this time, I'm putting all my trust into you that you'll protect the students on your side. You and whatever you named your gang."
Luna smirked.
"What, Sakura? Can't handle anymore?" she said snobbily.
"Koizumi."
Mikan's voice was firm.
The owner of the soul-entrapping Alice narrowed her eyes and smirked again.
"Whatever. I can take care of it."
A few men in black suits appeared behind the red-haired man.
"You're the one who planned this, Reo Mouri," Hotaru said, her voice colder than usual.
"Of course. Who else? The boss is expecting some nice Alices. And you all know Sakura isn't going to last longer than four hours."
The brunette bit her lip, as the puddle of blood reformed itself into a sword. She shot forwards, trying to hit the red-haired man.
But all Reo did was smirk, as one of the men-in-black stopped the sword with a metal hand.
"The AAO does have a variety of Alices, Sakura."
"…Fuck!"
Mikan cursed as she realized that one of the men had the teleportation Alice. He was gone, and he was back at Reo's side with a young, green-haired girl in his arms. Another man held a knife under her chin.
The girl whimpered. She could feel the cold metal that could take away her life in mere seconds.
"O-Onee-chan…"
Mikan turned for a split second to glare at Luna.
"What the hell happened?!"
"I-It's not my f-fault!" Luna stuttered, her eyes wide with horror.
"I thought you said you could take care of it!!"
A few glared at the blue-eyed girl.
The brunette turned back to Reo, her eyes furious.
"Put her down, Mouri."
"What makes you think I will? Her Alice of explosions is very, very useful in many ways. But on second thought, she is only useful for one thing…easily disposable."
"Put. Her. Down."
The knife under the girl's chin dug into the skin slightly, blood seeping out slowly.
Damn it! Why couldn't she use her teleportation Alice?!
"I always have conditions, Sakura. How about an exchange? Her for you."
"Are you fucking crazy-" Hotaru began, but Mikan cut her off.
"Then let go of the girl."
"…"
Suddenly, one of men shot forward and pushed something into her mouth. She swallowed in surprise.
"P-Paralyzation?!"
"True. But it also weakens you greatly, Miss Sakura…"
The man with the teleportation Alice dropped the little girl, who ran to Narumi.
Another man picked Mikan up, throwing her over his shoulders. She couldn't even struggle.
"Mikan—" Hotaru yelled, but she was hit in the stomach by the man with the metal hand. She dropped to her knees, coughing.
Everyone stared in shock as Alice Academy continued to burn; several with the water Alice desperately try to distinguish it, and Mikan Sakura being carried away.
"Stop!!" Yuu yelled, as she ran, his hand outstretched.
But just as his hand was about to grab the man's shirt, they disappeared from sight.
Teleportation.
"DAMN IT!!" Hotaru screamed, her hands in fists, bringing them down onto the hard floor with all her might. "Mikan!!"
Her hands bled slightly from bits and pieces of sharp rubble.
Mikan Sakura in the Anti-Alice Organization's hands…
Why did everything go so incredibly wrong?
Writer's End Notes: Alright! That concludes chapter 10. Mikan is taken away by the AAO because of Luna's mistake in protecting the students!
Mikan' was slightly harsh to her gang members when they were in the classroom...
The song that Mikan and Hotaru sang was 'Rocket' by Polysics. It's also known as the ending of 'Moyashimon', and incredible cute anime about microbes. (Oryzae!) Well, the beginning episodes were cute anyway. I was listening to it and I was feeling kind of hyper…ahaha. :sweatdrop:
So yeah…
(As some already know I'm going to stop putting the 'please review!' here because I'm sure you guys already get the idea and are probably getting annoyed by that. XD)
