ToraDora The Explorer[Part 11]
I only own this story; everything else that's mentioned here is from their respected owners. Thank you and please[try and] enjoy the fan fiction...
AN: Minori and co. had finally arrived to where the letter had left them. When they get there however, they notice their teacher Yuri Koigakubo trapped in a cell [and turned into a squirrel] along with an exchange student who is apparently turned into an iguana. The two both mention that The Swipers leader is planning on using something in order to take over not just the virtual world, but the real world as well. But before they could get anymore info out of them, Minori and co. had gotten seperated when trying to avoid some guards and a 'beast' guarding the lair. Now the clock continues to tick as Minori must try and rush on over to where the top floor is and possibly meet the leader face to face. This... is starting to get long, isn't it?
"Kawashima, just how the hell are we going to prevent them from getting to Minori?" Yuri panically asked the troll girl Ami.
"Well, I'm not sure if we can really, but we can at least try!" Ami replied.
She turned to the foreign girl who was playing with her mirror and said "Foreign girl, lend me that mirror, I have an idea on distracting the goons!"
"Hey perra, ¿no sabes que tengo un nombre, ¿verdad? ¿Y por qué iba a dar a este espejo?" The girl rudely replied.
Kitamura, trying to translate the language for Ami just shrugged and nodded.
Ami sighed in disbelief. "Look, unless you want to be baiting for you-know-what, then I suggest you lend me that, por favor. I'll give it right back..." The iguana gal sighed and handed it over to Ami for her to use.
She looks up at some of the guards and yells out: "Hey you!" and while throwing a rock at it. "Bet'cha can't figure out this riddle that I had thought up: what do find in caves?" There was a brief pause from them, as they tried to figure out the 'complicated' riddle. "A ROCK!" They, knowing that it wasn't able to guess in time decided to shoot her alive.
Ami quickly took out the mirror just as soon as they started shooting at her and it ricocheted toward the ceiling, managing for some rocks to fall down and crush the monster. 'Alright, that was easier than I thought...'
"Hey, what was that?"
"I think it came from the Cell Hell, come on!"
Just then, a couple of more guards from outside start talking and rushed over to see what the commotion was about in the prison room.
'Aw shit, spoke too soon...' "Hurry up and hide!"
"Sí, vamos a esconder en algún lugar donde nunca nos encontrarán, excelente!" Kitamura chimed in as the gang all ran out to hide... behind a rock. Riveting, isn't it?
The guards eventually arrive to the scene of the crime, wondering what the hell just happened. "What the hell just happened?"
"I don't know, but it appears to be that somebody has defeated some of our guards."
"And the cage is gone too!"
"That must mean that the enemies have escaped, quick, search this place, do whatever you can!"
"Sir yes sir!"
And with that, the troopers marched along, not even paying any slight attention to the others hiding behind the gosh darn rock.
"Phew, that was a close one." Yuri rubbed her forehead in relief.
"Well it IS a good thing that these people are idiots, now let's go." Ami declared, as they all rush off to where the top floor is. Where Minori is.
But there's also this one problem... the enemies spotted them in less than a few seconds on escaping. And so, the others keep on running/flying and try to high-tail the enemies and leave them eating the dust.
Meanwhile at the top of the castle, their imperial leader was staring at the window, waiting for them to arrive.
Suddenly, one of their guards steps in and informs her that the enemies are now coming closer to her. She just grins and walks over back to her throne. "Let them come, it'll be a nice challenge to see me, the imperial leader, go up against—"
"MINORI HAS ARRIVED!" Minori yelled out as she entered the room for the first time, startling the others in the process.
"Hmm, you seem to have gone here quicker than I had imagined. No matter, at least we can settle this quicker now..."
"Yes, I will save this place, the virtual and the real world, and bring back my friends along side me! I've come a long way and I'm going to make sure that I—"
"Defeat me and save your friends? Well well, if you wanted them so badly, then why not just ask?"
"Huh?"
The leader raises her arms to imply that she wants the 'friends' to be released. When the guards slowly open the door, it reveals a guy and a pack and map all with bags put on their heads.
"Who..."
"Don't worry; these aren't just freaks with bags." The guards slowly remove the bags out of their heads as it's revealed to be...
"Huh? Ryuji, Hisamitsu, and that Kota guy!?"
"I... love... my boots..."
"I AM A BACKPACK!"
"Mappity Map Map."
All of the guys have seem to be acting rather strangely and Minori for once doesn't like it one bit.
"No... no... what have you done to my friends?"
"Sorry, but I don't have any time to give out anymore poorly written exposition plot points. Now go my dogs, and show her what she's made of!"
'Wait... dogs? I know someone who uses that term. It can't be...! Can it?'
"Booots!"
"Maaap."
"BAKPAK"
The three charge at Minori with great speed... er, well at least... Ryuji did anyways. Hita and Ko hit fell face flat on the floor when trying to do the same thing. Two down already!
As Ryuji tried to kick her and Minori tried to avoid the kicks, she keeps telling him to stop and think about what he's doing for a second. But alas, he rubs it off like it's nothing. The leader laughs silently. "Your cheesy speeches are useless, there's no way you'll be able to break through Takasu like that, and even without my powers you are totally helpless!"
"Your Majesty, we have some more news." One of the guards informed her.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"It appears that we have captured the others that were trying to escape."
"Bring them in then!"
The doors open and the guards drag the other members across the corridor. They look beaten up and defeated.
"MINA!" Minori cried.
"How foolish of you all to go up against me, the imperishable leader of The Swipers! I was expecting more or less a challenge from you, but this is just far too ea—"
"Hurry, Minori, use this mirror while she's doing a monologue!" Ami throws the mirror towards Minori and manages to catch it.
"Whoa, I think I know what to do now, thanks Ami!" The pink-ette replied with a smile. Ami couldn't help but give out a weak smile also.
"Oh no you don't, whatever plan it is you'll be conjuring I will not allow for it to happen!" The leader shoots a ton of lasers at her to try and make her drop it. But Minori just runs across the walls and dodges every one of them.
She then leaps into the air and uses the mirror to off some amazing stunts and make them ricochet back into their leader. Minori gets closer and closer within each passing second, until she manages to break open her 'armor and mask', revealing her 'true identity'.
For a leader, she seemed rather short, and along side the brown-ish hair, pretty blue eyes, and a nasty attitude, there's nothing that would qualify her as a 'powerful leader' and isn't anything special. That is when the others came to a realization. "T-TAIGA AISAKA!?"
"That's right, I've been using this vessel in order to foil up the virtual world and destroy it alongside the real one, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" She called out in an evil robotic voice. "Shit, I though I said not to use plot points!"
"No, that was already said before..."
"BE QUIET! Anyways, let's finish this off, the real final battle's about to commence! Anything you say or do will be used against you, and don't even try to use some bullshitty speech to bring me out cause it won't do jack shit!"
'Oh no...' Minori sadly thought, 'For the sake of this world and the other worlds to be saved... and for all of my friends to be saved... I have to kill Taiga? No, I just can't bring myself to do that! But if I don't...' Minori starts to cry. 'What can I do? What can I do about this? Isn't there another option I could pick?'
"There is uno..."
"Wha~?" Minori looked up and saw a shimmer of light appear on the ceiling. As it came down, it suddenly took an appearance of a girl with dark brown hair and a thick-ish Spanish accent.
"To fully get the darkness out of your friend and bring peace to all of the worlds, you need to say 'I believe in miracles'. Can you say 'I believe in miracles'?"
"Y-yes, I think I can!"
"Then say 'I believe in miracles'!"
"I... I... I believe in miracles!"
"I believe in miracles." Ami added.
"I believe in miracles." Yuri chimed in.
"Yo creo en los milagros." Kitamura and Iguana girl joined in as well.
As they kept on chanting, the angel girl started focusing her magic onto her hands while the Taiga impersonator kept on covering her ears telling her to stop it.
While chanting, Minori actually heard Hisa, that Kota guy, Ryuji, and even Taiga chant "I believe in miracles!".
"You guys..."
Just then, the angel shot out a ball of light and directed it into the Taiga impersonator, who couldn't take it anymore and vanished soon after.
As the gang had cheered, the angel girl floated over to Minori as a thanks for all the help that she had given. "Why are you thanking me? You're the one who helped in the very last minute!"
"Si, but you were the one who believed that you could save your friend, and that is the true power in this game."
"Um, ok, this is nice and all, but when can we go back into OUR world?" Ami asked impatiently.
"Ah, but it is simple, no? Just tap your shoes together and say 'there's no place like home'. Can you say—"
"Is there a less stupid way?"
"Oh, well, I'll just use my magic and teleport you guys out of there..." She converted some energy and out of nowhere and cast/flashed it upon our 'heroes', floating them around and such before eventually sucking them into a portal.
"Hey wait," Ryuji said, "I haven't even gotten to—" And with that, they disappear.
Out of the game at long last. Hmm, probably should be morning now...
AN: Yep, I got tired of writing this as you can plainly see, so I just added whatever bullshit I could think up :P
