A/N: Well, what can I say? I just had to write this as soon as I wrote the last chapter. This is the chapter I have been waiting to write forever! There are so many twists and turns in this chapter, you will want to strangle me. I am just kidding; please do not hurt the author! Heh, I absolutely love this chapter. To make this clear, Masami told Tasumi that she was moving. Masami lied to Tasumi ok. Ok, let us start this chapter before I give something away.
Masami crawled into her comforter and adjusted her body to the warmth of her bed. She blinked a few times before she let out a lazy yawn.
"I wonder how much time I'll have left before Jace starts his evil plan to take over the world…"
Masami sighed. She was starting to think that her whole life was a mistake. Maybe she was not supposed to meet Jace. Maybe she was not supposed to let her brother die. Maybe she was not supposed to become a Mew Mew at all. She even started to second-guess the agreement she made with Rhiannon. When Masami had a gun up to her head, she started to think; what if she had actually been shot? Who would protect her friends? Who would protect Tasumi? Masami's eyelids started to flutter back and forth. It was not long until she found herself inundated in the dream world. Masami wore a flora printed sundress. She was at a beach resort, smiling, and watching the bright orange sunset. Standing beside her was Renzo, laughing with her.
"Masami, you are my favorite sister!" Renzo smiled. Masami nodded her head as her sapphire eyes began to water.
"Renzo… will you ever forgive me?"
A confused look fell upon Renzo's face. "You have done nothing wrong Masami! If anyone's fault, it was my own. I let him take me. Do not grieve for me, for now I am free! "
Tears started to roll down Masami's reddened cheeks. "B-But it is too late. I have already vowed revenge. I can not turn back the wheels of time!"
Before Masami could reply, a shady ominous figure appeared next to Renzo. It was none other then Rhiannon. Renzo suddenly started to fade away, waving happily towards Masami. Masami instinctively ran toward her brother.
"W-Wait Renzo don't leave!" She cried as she ran to the spot Renzo once stood in. Masami picked up a fist full of sand, and then threw it. Rhiannon looked iniquitously at Masami.
"I-I don't want to do this anymore!" Masami wailed. Rhiannon folded her arms.
"Now now, you can't talk like that Masami. Especially when Artimas has predicted our plans to save the earth."
Masami turned to Rhiannon. "What? Who is that? When will I be able to save Renzo?"
"Right now. You are to wake up from this dream and go to the Café Mew Mew. Artimas is the leader of Jace. We call her Mistress. Artimas has predicted our move and is now sealing the gates to the incarnation of hell. You have to activate The Winged Trigger Command immediately."
Masami's eyes wondered to the ground. "You mean… today is the day I…"
"…Die." Rhiannon stated. "…Or at least, you go down into the incarnation of hell. You will have your revenge soon enough."
Masami stood up tall and faced her mother. Masami looked into Rhiannon's eyes with the utmost tenacity.
"I know you can reverse this spell you have cast on me! I do not want to die yet! The whole world can go to hell, and everyone in it!"
"Listen to what you're saying you naïve girl!" Rhiannon exclaimed. "You are not in this to save the world! You are in this to get revenge and save Renzo! Don't you want to protect your friends?"
Masami raised her hand up to say something, but soon put it back down. "It was twelve something when I went to bed. The other Mews are not there at this time of night." She said bitterly.
"I've already sent them a telekinesis message that is to insure them coming as well. They should already be there."
Masami sighed deeply. "Ok Rhiannon, but you should know I'm going out the right way. And if I don't make it out of this, I am going to kick your ass."
Rhiannon smirked. "Wake up then."
Masami sat up in her bed. Standing next to her was Rhiannon. She did not waste anytime teleporting Masami to the Café. Once the duo made their way into the Café, Masami's eyes widened. Everyone had a worried expression on his or her faces. Everyone was dressed in his or her PJ's. Masami stared woefully at everybody.
"The time has come." Rhiannon stated. Ichigo rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"Nya, Masami-Chan, don't tell me…"
"No one is to talk to Masami. In fact, Masami should go wait outside until I have spoken with you Mews and your leader."
Before Masami even got to debate, an unknown force pushed her out of the Café. The Café's doors had automatically locked and shut themselves.
Tasumi was wide-awake, sitting on top of her bed. She held Masami's Diary in her hands. Why would Masami suddenly want to move to the U.S.A.? Tasumi shook her head. Maybe she could find the answers hidden with in Masami's Diary. She had only read the first page. Tasumi opened the book quickly.
Dear Diary,
I cannot believe what my ears are hearing. I hate Jace and everything he stands for! I will avenge Renzo's death! I was too weak to save him! Err; I swear on my mother's grave, even if that is possible, that I will avenge his death! In addition, he called me his daughter! True, he does look like him. He may even be him… wait, I am feeding myself lies again! That monster was he! My life is going from bad to dire.
Tasumi's hands started to shake.
"What is she talking about? Her father killed Renzo? Isn't he…dead?" Tasumi flipped the page to the last entry that seemed to be written in her Diary.
Dear Diary,
I…I have turned myself into a monster. I let things get very out of hand. However, maybe, this was the right thing to do. Rhiannon (surprising who is my mother,) gave me the special ability that can save the world. She also told me that I would have to die or something. What I am a going to tell every one at the Café? What am I going to tell Tasumi? I will probably make up some biased lie. I know, I will tell her I am going to move to Africa. Or better yet, the U.S.A.
Tasumi's heartbeat sped up. The Diary slightly slipped from in-between her figures. Her eyes widened. She slowly stood up and started to walk slowly to her room doors
"Is every thing all right Tasumi?" Her mother asked with an uneasy voice.
"Yes mommy! Everything is super peachy!" She yelled back. Tasumi backed away from her door and opened her window. Masami was her best friend. Those had to be suicide thoughts in her diary. Those things in her diary just could not be real! Tasumi jumped out of her window with the utmost urgency in her eyes.
"You better be alive Masami," she spoke to herself as she ran through the darkened streets of Tokyo wearing nothing but a nightgown. Hopefully her mother would not look in her room. So many crazy things were happening lately. "Please god, do not take her!"
Rhiannon looked at the five mews and Ryou iniquitously. Lettuce held her hand up to her mouth, somewhat intimidated by Rhiannon's appearance. Pudding looked as if she was about to collapse from lethargy onto the floor. The rest of the Mews looked at Rhiannon with the utmost alertness.
"So, you are Rhiannon?" Ryou asked.
"Ah, your reputation precedes you. Ryou, you are an intelligent adolescent man, this will be blunt. You are a failure are you not? Masami's life is in the fate of those hands." Rhiannon said as she pointed to the Mews. Ryou winced a bit, shocked that she would say something like that.
"You did something to Masami! We know you did!" Ichigo exclaimed. "Change her back!"
"It is far too late now! The gates of hell are closing as we speak! It is now or never! Once Masami activates the command, you five have to send her down to hell before the gates close! And if you don't do it right, the world as we now it is doomed!"
Everyone cringed at the thought of sending Masami to her ultimate demise.
"If I had known… if I had known that making a sixth Mew would turn out like this, I would have never dared to…"
"But you did make a sixth Mew. You can not turn back the wheels of time Ryou!"
"But… Onee-Chan's mom… we can't possibly do that!" Pudding argued.
"There is no other way! In addition, after you send her down into hell, I do not think there is a way to get her out. She has to find her own way, or perish. You girl's C-25 waves are to light for hell's devastating waves."
Rhiannon walked around for a bit, staring at everyone's worried faces. She waved her hand across the air and the Café's doors opened. Masami walked in, already changed into her Mew form. Everyone looked up at Masami with a slight smile plastered onto his or her faces. Masami looked back at them with her blank Sapphire eyes.
"What will we tell the police?! It is bad enough that Renzo died! Now Masami too?" Ryou shot. "We don't need the military being involved!"
"Simple, you sin, you live with the sin. Doing illegal experimentations on mere middle school girls are bound to back fire."
Masami's grip tightened on her Rocket Staff. "No, your wrong Rhiannon. Who else was going to save the world from the aliens?"
"Masami dear, be subtle and listen. Activate The Winged Trigger Command now."
"I…I no longer feel the same detestation as I once felt! I am at tranquility with Renzo's death!" Masami yelled, stray tears flying from her eyes. "I'll never walk the path of abhorrence ever again! What ever terrorizes this earth, me and my friends shall conquer it!"
"That's right! For the future of the earth, we shall protect!" Ichigo chimed in.
An anger mark started to appear in Rhiannon's face. Rhiannon grabbed her staff, and pointed it at Masami. All of the other Mews grabbed on to their pendants.
"Mew Mew Strawberry… Metamorpho--sis!"
"Mew Mew Mint… Metamorpho--sis!"
"Mew Mew Lettuce… Metamorpho--sis!"
"Mew Mew Zakuro… Metamorpho--sis!"
"Mew Mew Pudding… Metamorpho--sis!"
"You are going to feel the hate!" Rhiannon spoke. With one wave of her hand, Masami fell onto her knees in total pain. Masami's whole life began to flash right in front of her eyes. Every gruesome moment, every distaining moment, every regretful moment passed through Masami's brain like a movie forever embedded on rewind.
"Go Mew Mews!" Ryou called out. Ichigo nodded her head.
"Ribbon… Strawberry Check!"
Ichigo aimed her attack at Rhiannon, but it went threw her ghost like features and hit Masami dead on. Masami wailed as she grabbed her head, fighting with herself to stop the horrid memories from coming back. Not only did she get a glimpse of her memories, she got a glimpse of every living child's life that has been tampered with because of Jace. Chairs and table's began to fly everywhere. My, the Café really was a mess.
"Do not try to strike against me child!" Rhiannon said sharply. "I come to help you humans out, and this is the thanks I get?" Rhiannon struck her staff onto the ground, and the Café turned into an immense rainbow dome like structure. The mews and Ryou found themselves standing on a floating platform. Far in front of them was a pair of the two biggest doors they had ever seen in their lives. The doors were slowly closing together. Masami's was still trying to stop the memories from flying past her eyes. Tears were streaming down her face.
"Masami!" Mint called out. Masami stopped the crying and yelling, and stood up groggily, her eyes shadowed by darkness. Rhiannon smiled sadistically.
"Hehehehehe." The mother and daughter laughed at the same time.
"Masami dear, how's life treating you?" Rhiannon asked while laughing.
"Life sucks to the fullest extent. And friends? FRIENDS? Friends are nothing but back stabbing to timing dogs that tend to steal your boyfriend," Masami crackled in a meshed together voice.
"You see Mew Mews; I've stored enough hate inside Masami to last her two life times! And now, Masami dearest…how will you change the world?"
"Me, little old me? I am going to bring justice to the world by wiping away the problems!"
Lettuce cleared her voice a little. "Hate just brings more violence! Please Rhiannon! I thought you were on our side!"
"Oh I am on your side! Masami activate it! Activate the true Wigged Trigger Command!"
"Gladly!" Masami spoke as two black wings shot out of her back. This time, Masami's whole body became engulfed in a purple like mist. Her pupils were silted and her eye color turned an ominous shade of yellow. Masami chuckled a little before descending into the air.
"I am the true One Winged Angel!" She chanted while staring down the Mews.
Ichigo looked at her leader. "Ryou are you going to be alright?"
Ryou nodded his head. "I'll be fine. You just think of a way to defeat her."
"Ok team, let's do this!" Ichigo commanded.
"Ribbon… Mint Echo!"
"Ribbon… Zakuro Spear!"
Masami easily flew threw the sky, dogging the two girls attacks. Mint and Zakuro nodded at the confused Ichigo. The Mews glanced at the gates, watching them close slowly, the gap getting smaller and smaller.
"Tokyo Mew Mew Attack!" The Mews all yelled in unison. The girls lunged at Masami with their weapons. Masami raised a brow.
"Ok, then, I have a special attack too!" Masami threw both of her hands into the air and started to chant a number of things. She then threw her hands at the girls; the tip of her Rocket Staff began to glow tremendously.
"Ribbon… Eternal Darkness Ray!"
A large, purple ray of light shot out of Masami's staff, and it was coming directly towards the girls. Ichigo's eye's widened. They could not stop it…
One by one, the Mews fell to the platform. Ryou ran to Zakuro's side, seeing as how she was the first to fall.
"You ok?"
Zakuro winced, before her eyes began to close limply.
"We have to… hurry," Zakuro gasped as she fainted. Masami laughed maniacally as the Mews were loosing power. Ichigo stood up, her Strawberry Bell-Bell griped tightly in her fingers.
"Masami-Chan! Masami-Chan wake up please!" Ichigo wailed. Masami laughed at this sight.
"Masami is no longer vigorous! I am Masami no longer!" Masami descended down onto the platform, walking dramatically to Ichigo. Suddenly, the rainbow portal around the platform began to become disturbed. Next to Ryou and Zakuro, a hand appeared through the portal. Soon, the whole body came through. It was none other than Tasumi. Ichigo swiftly turned around, and her jaw practically fell.
"You're… Masami's friend?" Ichigo stuttered.
Masami stopped walking. "T-Ta-sumi? Wha--what are you…"
The other Mews winced on the ground, trying to get a better look at Tasumi. Tasumi's eyes widened at the sight of her best friend.
She was a monster.
Tears automatically began to roll down Tasumi's rosy cheeks. Ryou stood up and faced her.
"Got out of here! It is not safe!" He said, trying to pull her away from the portal, but Tasumi fiercely pulled her arms away from Ryou's grip.
"Masami!" Tasumi yelled, collapsing onto the ground. "How could you… you… are…"
"Tasumi…wait…I--" Masami began, but another force began to take over her again.
Tasumi began to wail even harder. "What is happing? You have been lying to me the whole time! Why didn't you tell me?! Why didn't you tell me?"
"Err… because you wouldn't listen!" Masami shot back. "You have no idea how it feels to be different! You do not know how it feels to be left alone in the world! No, you're just a helpless Lolita, who has everything!"
Rhiannon grinned. "Hurry now, the gates are almost closed."
Tasumi glanced at Rhiannon and shrieked out of fear. She then looked at the Mews. That was when it hit her. They all were monsters. Every one of them.
Masami began to laugh again, and then griped her Rocket Staff.
"Ribbon… Vanilla Rocket Staff Sanpoo!"
Ichigo screeched. She held up her Strawberry Bell-Bell, stray tears escaping her eyes. "Ribbon… Strawberry Check!"
Tasumi got up, and looked at the two attacks. She unintentionally ran towards Masami, throwing her hands in front of her friend.
"STOP IT!" Tasumi yelled as she had been hit with Ichigo's attack. The moment the attack hit her, Tasumi dropped down onto the ground, blood spewing from her mouth. Ichigo's eyes widened with fear.
"I-I just…"
Masami's mouth dropped as she viewed her best friend sprawled onto the ground, possibly lifeless. Masami's form started to switch back and forth. Rhiannon gritted her teeth.
"Now Ichigo! Send her into the gates of hell!"
Ichigo could not move. She was in a state of shock. She opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Rhiannon grabbed her staff, steam practically escaping her head.
"No one will rise to the challenge?! Are you all that incompetent?!" Rhiannon looked at the other Mews laid out onto the ground.
"Please…" Ichigo gasped. "You can't…"
Rhiannon aimed her staff at Masami. A bright purple light shot out of her staff and sent Masami into the gates. Masami started to gain consciousness and desperately tried to fight off the hundreds of demons grabbing her legs. With her wings, she tried to fly.
"No! Tasumi!" She yelled, tears rolling down her cheeks like mad. "I didn't want it to end like this!"
Rhiannon laughed as the gates began to close. Masami found herself immersed into a river of darkness. After that, everything faded. As the doors closed, Ichigo could hear a faint voice calling Tasumi's name. A dark shadowy figure appeared next to Rhiannon. It was none other then Jace.
"Have you completed your mission sweet heart?"
Rhiannon laughed manically, "Yes honey… Masami should be dawdling into hell, as we know it. Artimas will be most pleased."
"Bastards!" Ichigo yelled loudly. "You tricked us!"
"Hmm… you humans are so predictable!" Jace chuckled. "Shut up. This is no one's fault but your own. This world shall be ours and everything in it!" With that said, Jace disappeared in a cloud of darkness. Rhiannon walked towards Ichigo, a sadistic smile on her face. She grabbed Ichigo's hair, exposing her reddened face.
"Don't you hurt her…" Ryou started to say, but Rhiannon's hair turned into a dozen snakes, her eyes glowing a bright purple. A bright light shot through Ryou's chest, knocking him unconscious.
"Lovely strawberry, do not worry. We will come back for you and the others. Until then, keep trying to save the world. We can anticipate every one of your moves. We will always be watching you."
Rhiannon threw Ichigo's head onto the ground, walking into the portal Jace had disappeared into. As Ichigo's vision began to blur, she looked at Tasumi's body. A few moments latter, Ichigo passed out.
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace
The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel
A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel...
