Mother5: Black Oblivion

Book Two: The Flat Zone

Chapter Eleven: The Otherside

There was pain, her body hurt allover, worst of it, and she could feel her self go numb. Slowly she shakily moved her arm to a liquid source to scrawl a name

Silvia...

"Never... forget... Never forget..." the woman rasped, tears welding up in her eyes. "Never..."

"Tehehehe.... Are you ready to die now? Okay.... Good night, you traitor..."

Bang!

The younger looked down in triumph of her kill.

"All in a days work... Tehehe..."

xoxoxox

"Mommy?" A little girl of eight whimpered, the figure of long silver hair sleepily sat up to face the little girl.

"What is it Maria?"

"I can't sleep mommy..." the adult scoped the child into their arms and held her close to her chest

"What's wrong my little flower?"

"I'm scared..."

"Why is that darling?"

"The shrine maidens... they said bad things are going to happen..."

"Don't worry Maria; we're safe in Forest Haven..."

"Are you sure mommy?"

"Of course..."

"Go to bed, it's only..." the man paused to look at the clock on the night stand "3:52 am..."

"O...okay papa..." The little girl pulled her self away from her mother and slowly walked to the door.

"What are you doing Maria?" her father called sleepily, the girl blinked at her father's question.

"I'm going to bed papa..."

"When I said go to bed I meant with us... Yore scared right?" she looked down at her toes as she responded

"Yes..."

"So stay with us." The man gave the bed a pat on the space between him and his wife. "Okay..."

Blinking the girl walked to the bed, she climbed upon. Her mother pulled the sheets back, the father placed a pillow between him and his wife and the little girl took her place between them, with a smile her mother draped the sheets over her.

"Good night my little flower"

"Night mommy" she turned to her father. "Night daddy…"

"Good night…" he yawned sleepily

xoxoxox

After thirty tries, calling the fire department ten times, crashing into things too many times it was done, Silvia could perform PK Teleport.

"Yay!" Harmony cheered "You can do PK Teleport!"

"We can rejoice later, we got things to do."

"...Uh, like what?" Karen coughed

"Before Mr. Soule fell into a coma he gave me a scrap of paper and tolled me a tolled me to find the girl in the Forest Haven…" Silvia explained "She knows something we need to know."

"If you say so…" And Brittney's taxi rushed over to smack into Matt, lucky for him, he was totally unharmed. He was back on his feet in seconds and in the taxi he went.

"Bye take care!"

"Right uncle…"

"Uncle?! That's your uncle?!" everyone gasped, Matt blushed in embarrassed and covered his face.

"Can we please just go?"

"Okay, one ride outta Daisy Fields coming up."

"Make it quick."

xoxoxox

"And here we are, the cave out of Daisy Fields!" Britney smiled "So take care, I've herd it's a dangerous place."

"Right, well later, I guess…" Britney smiled, she drove off. Silvia looked back at the cave entrance.

"Let's go! Ha!! I'm so pumped!"

"So our journey is almost over?"

"Not even close…" Matt muttered

"What?"

"Nothing, I can explain it yet…" and quickly Matt rushed into the cave. Silvia had a feeling, deep in her gut that said that was true. Far from over, ridding to Toto wasn't going to end this.

xoxoxox

Deeper into the cave, Silvia slid down the rope, Buton hopped off Silvia's shoulder and Spike fearlessly jumped and landed to her side. Harmony, Karen and Matt slid down the rope next and follow her down the path, passing many crystal formations. Silvia raised a brow at the enemy before her, it was a mouse.

"Rawr! I'm a monster!!"

"Dude you a mouse…" Silvia snorted "A stupid little mouse…."

"Oh yeah!?" The rat but down on her arm, hard, blood gushed from the wound.

"OW!"

"Hisss" Mrs. Cat… hissed.

"Back off!" Harmony scowled

"Back up!!" the mouse yelled "I need back up!" and suddenly enemies appeared left and right, a bat, few more mice, and a spiders.

"-" Silvia screamed in furry, Matt pulled his lazer gun out with haste, he shot a spider in it's face but is still stood strong.

"Freakin' spiders…" Karen took a swipe at a few mice, managing to kill one. Harmony's Mrs. Cat hissed once more, scaring off some mice. Silvia knocked the rat off her arm and smacked it over and over with no remorse.

"You stupid mouse!" Silvia growled "I'm going to kill you, you stupid mouse."

"Spare me! I have a wife and five children!" the mouse cowered, Silvia's shadow looming over him. She grinned evilly, spinning her hockey stick around.

"…I don't care… You will die mouse."

"Nooooooo!!!"

"Fort!" Silvia bellowed launching the mouse into the cave's wall. Matt shot down the bat, he sighed.

"Damn it," he muttered "That idiot knows not to attack with out reason…"

"What?"

"Nothing…" Matt sighed "Let's keep going."

"Fine…" Silvia muttered arms crossed over her chest, shaking her head she uncrossed them and continued deeper into the cave.

xoxoxox

"Oooh!" Harmony squealed in joy, she took off running, Matt jumped, a look of fear crossing his face and he chased after her.

"Something is wrong here…"

"Your telling me… he's jumpy about something…"

"It's the guardian of the cave." the girls and animals turned, a familiar black sat on a rock.

"Oh you…"

"That's no way to greet a person Silvia."

"You're a cat."

"Good point, but that doesn't matter… the Soule family is a strange one…"

"Strange?" Karen pondered "What do you mean?"

"They come from there…"

"Harmony…"

"Yes?"

"What did you mean by 'faker'?"

"He's a werewolf wanna be…."

"What?" Harmony dint notice her question and continued to babble on.

"But… how did they get here… they are supposed to sealed away in there…." she shuttered.

"There… Harmony mentioned it once, what is there?" the cat laughed

"There, you don't know what there is? Well then again, it been a while since outsiders have entered our village… alright. There it's place known as the Devil Realm, or the Otherside, it differs greatly from the Flat Zone."

"Devil Realm… that was in a newspaper I found in Midnight Castle…"

"That is where life began, human, animal, hybrids, everything."

"If that is so, why is it called the Devil Realm?" Silvia raised a brow

"Because, those who are fail to reach the path of light remain trapped in the land of darkness."

"What?"

"What the cat is saying is that there are trials to prove they can live in a peaceful environment, only the specie of a pure nature can gain access to the Flat Zone, the land we are live in now." Karen explained

"How do you know?"

"As a shrine maiden of Shell city it's my job to guard the portal to the Devil realm, that was why I was kidnapped."

"… but Matt and his family are good right?"

"Well, yes, the Shiro tribe are good little ones…" the cat purred "My master, Matt's mother, actually most of the Jinjirus were Shiros before they moved to the Flat Zone, they moved to retain old tribe traditions, those who remained in Shiro lived life like those in Daisy Fields. But when the queen banned the royal family system 500 years ago, the country changed to Daisy Fields themed city, but one little girl turned sour…."

"Sour?"

"Toto Rosalina, clamed she should rule the kingdom, my master laughed it off. My master was given orders from the queen her self to become the first mayor of Jinjiru when the queen ended her own reign, Toto was furious. She was raised in a household where she got whatever she wanted, to be denied this she went a homicidal rampage. She killed off many Jinjirus and innocent people. Two of those victims were your parents and your friend and his mother…" the cat paused to look over a Silvia. "My master put out a code black, it was understandable, she did expose our secrets to the Axis Fang, stole the files that followed the queens descendents and murdered just because she dint get her way..."

"But how is the Soule family strange exactly?" Karen pondered loudly

"On my master's side, the women of the family were great and highly revered warriors, my master herself has aided in saving the world three times," the cat paused "As for Daren, he is… herm… different"

"Define different" Silvia grunted

"Well, he has a connection with the God Council, his violin is very special too according to his mother's journal it opens the gates of some shrine outside of Shiro and it can create things."

"Things?"

"Well, the guardian at the end of this cave is something it's create, Tone Death." the cat yawned and stretched, it glanced at Silvia. "Well, I'm done recoding your adventure so be on your way before Tone Death kills your friends…"

"Crap! I forgot!"

"We're comin'!" Karen shouted following the running off Silvia, Spike and Buton tailing behind.

xoxoxox

Battered and beaten did Harmony and Matt laid on the cold stone floor in pain. The hooded figure decked out in black-blue cloak with a tiny white dot pattern floated above Matt. It raised it's note like scythe.

"Trespassers must be… annihilated…"

"Hold it!!" the clothed figured stopped, scythe mere inches from Matt's face. He let out a breath of relief. It turned to Silvia.

"Must… destroy… trespassers…" Silvia readied her weapon, a swing of the hockey stick it barley phased the creature. Karen pulled her blades out and slashed the reaper creature in a double slash, it stared as the girls and animals with a soulless gaze, Karen flinched and the two pets whimpered. Silvia did not falter, extending her hand a familiar aura burst forth.

"PK Cross!" the reaper didn't move in time, impaled with a burst of pink, green and orange lights. It flew back, if it had eyes it would surely be glaring at Silvia intently. She pushed that aside and jumped for it again, Spike snapped from his daze and bit the reaper's arm. Fed up with this pointless battle Tone Death raised his scythe, with a swing, a rush of black energy sent everyone flying back. Silvia rubbed her head and Karen, got back up and slashed the reaper. It wasn't bothered, Karen scowled, it attacked once more waving it's note shaped scythe. A swarm of black clouds emerged, blinding the girls and their animals.

"Damn it, I cant see!" Silvia barked, something hit her in her gut.

'Take that!'

"Darn it Buton it's me!"

'Oh…'

Grumbling on pain, Silvia swung her hockey.

SMAAAASH!

Tone Death swung it scythe despite the fact he was losing the battle. Karen to her turn, to miss, then Spike who managed to bite it's head. Another attemptive slash, it missed. Another hit, as sudden as it's news of it's arrival… the Tone Death exploded. In a bright flash of flames and black lights.
