Hunters: Questions
Chapter 1
Coming Home
"I kind of expected to see the black cat already." Ace explained as he and his hunters walked out of the gate in the airport.
"The airport probably doesn't allow creatures like her in." Nina added as they walked and checked that they had everything.
"That or she is being detained by security for possibly having a weapon on her." Katherine joked as the six of them headed down the escalator to the baggage claim.
"No, she probably is gorging herself on fish at a fish market." Angel added as they grabbed their luggage.
"No, she probably detained for being crazy." Aerith added as they started to head for the exit.
"I expect her to be waiting for us right outside of the airport." Yami explained as they walked out of the airport.
"Welcome to Tokyo, good to see that you made here in one piece without any trouble." The Black Cat explained as the Hunters approached her.
"No more lies or games. All we want is the truth." Ace responded as they looked at the Black Cat.
"Then it wouldn't be as fun to an achievement to catch me!" The Black Cat whined and started to run. "Catch me if you can!" With that, she was off.
"And so it begins again…" Angel whispered as they chased after their common goal. Soon the Black Cat ran into the bushes and they had to decide what to do next.
"Author, what do you want us to do next?" Ace shouted.
"Go into Tokyo with your partners out." The Author explained as Rukia appeared beside Ace!
"In Tokyo, they're fine with having creatures like us out!" Rukia explained as Celestia, Lilith, and Reapera appeared as they reached.
"Do you have a partner, Yami?" Aerith asked as Yami made a female angel appear.
"This is my partner, Setsuna the Angewomon." Yami explained as Setsuna started to fight with Lilith!
"I leave you guys for two minutes and a fight already breaks out!" The Black Cat shouted as a familiar girl ram up beside her causing Ace's, Nina's and Katherine's jaw to drop. Standing before them was a very living Mara.
"I know who the traitor is!" Mara taunted and Ace slashed her multiple times.
"I know also. The traitor is Aurora." Ace casually explained, shocking his fellow teammates.
"The question now is why she is the traitor!" Mara added and she and the Black Cat walked away.
"Right now, we need answers." Nina explained as Yami looked at Ace.
"We need to head to Odiaba, my mother is rampaging and maybe we can get some answers from her that could possibly help figure this out." Yami explained.
"It's worth a shot to try." Ace answered as Rukia gave Ace a "you got to be crazy" look for some reason or another.
"Are you completely crazy?! We're going up against the ruler of the digital world!" Rukia shouted.
"Based on the theory of continuity, you guys will probably win this battle." Hera explained.
"Maybe, unless the Author decides to go totally against that theory you've just mentioned, Hera." Valia explained. "The Author has gone against it before… but continue on!"
"Well that was an awkward moment we just had." Angel responded as they made their vehicles appear.
"What are we going to ride?!" Katherine and Yami both shouted.
"You can ride on my chopper, Katherine." Ace explained as Katherine got on right behind Ace.
"Those two are totally in love!" Valia taunted.
"We are not in love!" Ace and Katherine shouted simultaneously as Yami got on Nina's chopper and they headed off.
"Yami, what was your relationship with your mom?" Nina asked as she followed Ace.
"My mother is a controlling queen who isn't nice." Yami explained.
.
"Well that could have gone a lot worse." The Black Cat responded as she and Mara walked into a room where a young girl was waiting inside.
"Just shut up." Mara answered as she pulled her long and thin zampukuto's out." So you and your husband had another one. I can't wait for the reaction from your own children when they find out about this." But the Black Cat did not answer…
.
"How much longer till we get to this 'Odiaba' place?" Aerith asked as they drove on the road.
"We've reached our destination." Angel explained as he pointed at the woman in a white outfit and dark sunglasses on.
"I was expecting something a lot more terrifying that we have to face." Ace responded cockily as the Hunters equipped their weapons and made their creatures/summons appear so they would be ready for the battle that was to occur.
"Don't get cocky, Ace. My mother, The Digital Queen is not a pushover." Yami explained.
"Let's do this." Nina shouted as they headed towards the Digital Queen ready for battle.
"Well this is a surprise." The Digital Queen responded as she equipped her long rapiers." So you're here to fight or is there some other reason to go along with that?"
.
We're having technical difficulties right now
While your waiting go watch Negima 2 intro #7
.
"What just happened a second ago?!" Hera shouted as she looked at the technical difficulties screen.
"Well our link to our universe basically crashed." The Author explained and Hera and Valia stopped their game. "Also where did you get that game?"
"We created a copy of the wii u at your home." Valia explained as the Author quickly fixed the link…
.
"Well that was a really awkward moment." The Digital Queen shouted.
"Does the name Aurora ring a bell?" Ace asked and the Digital Queen laughed.
"Aurora is just a name." The Digital Queen explained as individual portals appeared under each of the Hunters and their partners and sucked them in. " Next time we meet, I will be the last person you'll ever see."
.
"Where are we?" Ace asked as he got up and looked around.
"Good morning, Ace!" Rukia shouted." We're in the Digital World now."
"I'm just glad that stupid Black Cat didn't send us further in time." Ace added as right on cue they both saw the Black Cat.
"I guess your right." Rukia explained as Ace went after the Black Cat
"This game of cat and mouse ends right here, right now." Ace shouted and grabbed on to the Black Cat, catching her!
"This game is only just beginning." The Black Cat explained." This attempt doesn't count whatsoever." Then she teleported away to some unknown place the hunters couldn't find for the moment.
"Let's get going, Ace." Rukia explained as they started to walk.
"Where are you taking me, Rukia?" Ace asked after walking for the past 10 minutes. Ace expected to see something like a blue talking cat that could fly.
"To my mother, who is one of your father's partners." Rukia explained as they reached a small house.
"Rukia, it's good to see you." A woman in similar clothes shouted as she hugged the two of them." I'm Aura, a friend of your father, Ace." Then she motioned for them to come in to the house.
"It's good to see you two, mom." Rukia added as they entered and sat down in some chairs that Aura had gotten out.
"What brings you two to this part of the Digital World?" Aura asked as she drank her tea.
"We're looking for answers." Ace explained." Does the name Aurora ring a bell?"
"Maybe, but you must defeat me in a fight to find out." Aura responded, surprising both Ace and Rukia.
"I agree to those conditions." Ace responded and pulled out his katanas as Aura lead them to a different room.
"No summons or extra help." Aura added as she equipped her longswords and slashed at Ace!
"Secret Art: Dragon Katana Barrage slash!" Ace shouted as the launched spirit dragons with katanas launched Aura back and did some damage.
"Magical Inferno!" Aura shouted causing the temperature in the room to skyrocket to dangerous levels!
"You can do this, Ace. I believe in you!" Rukia shouted hoping to encourage her partner.
"I understand now. This is the first of many tests my friends and I must to learn the truth about Aurora." Ace thought as he launched himself at Aura and knocked her longswords out of her hands!
"You win, Ace." Aura explained." But allow me to teach me something. Concentrate." Ace concentrated and was able to launch a fireball!
"A deal is a deal, Aura." Ace added as he helped Aura up. Aura then placed her head near his ear.
"There are much deeper connections you must discover." Aura whispered into Ace's ear. Then Rukia and Ace left the room.
"So what did she tell you?" Rukia asked as they left the house.
"That there are much deeper connections in all of this." Ace explained as they walked.
"Hasn't this whole mystery already complicated enough?!" Rukia shouted.
"So you want it to be more complicated, do you?" The Author asked.
"No, I don't want this to be anymore complicated than it already f***ing is!" Rukia shouted, not caring that she was still in the perimeter of her mom's house.
"If you swear the person nearest to you is allowed to slap you!" The Author shouted and Ace slapped Rukia.
"I'm totally fine with this rule." Rukia responded as they started to run…
.
"Yes, I got my license!" The Author shouted as Hera and Valia looked at him.
"What do we need this stupid license for anyway?" Hera asked curiously.
"To travel between actual dimensions so we can hunt Chaos." The Author explained.
.
The Black Cat looked at a photo. It reminded her of the past. She placed the photo back down.
"Things were different then." She thought.
"There you are!" Mara shouted as she ran up to the Black Cat." I have been looking for you all over!"
"What do you want from me now, Mara?" The Black Cat asked.
"I want you to reveal the truth immediately." Mara demanded as she pulled out her zampukuto's.
"The answer is no, Mara." The Black Cat responded and Mara angrily stormed out.
"How many people have you hurt by lying to them!" Mara shouted but the Black Cat did not answer her question. "Answer me!"
"Why should I answer your question?" The Black Cat responded as Mara poked her head back in.
"Then I will take something that matter to you." Mara responded and left the Black Cat alone as an 11 year-old girl ran in.
"Mommy, are you all right?" The Girl asked as she hugged the Black Cat.
"Yes Yuki, I'm all right." The Black Cat answered as Yuki let go of her.
"Why was that girl so mad at you?" Yuki asked curious at what happened a few minutes ago.
"It doesn't matter, Yuki." The Black Cat answered and Yuki went back to her room…
Notes:
Yes, I was so confident in my writing abilities that I started work on a sequel after I was finished writing Hunters. Yeah.
