[[Author's Note:
Knight25, stop it. I already told you not to guess future plotlines!
XD
And, as a sidenote, most of Cecil's character is inferred
from his relationship with the Huitzil/my assumption of his
character. For being the most powerful person on Earth and possibly
Makai [if you discount Anita's potential], he gets relatively small
screentime. Hell, at least Anita has a fanbase!
Also, about the whole 'time wtf' concerning Raptor; let's just assume metal was invented in the Victorian Era.]]
TARGET ELIMINATED.
The paper turned
into a human form for a second, made a sign with its hands, and then
turned back into a slip of paper, resting on the pretty blue girl's
forehead.
"Wow," Cecil said with increased interest as he
walked over towards Anita, taking off his work-apron.
"Real
Darkstalkers…! Isn't this cool, Anita?"
"I have met
their kind before," Anita said casually, drinking from a cup of
green tea. "The girl is of pure nature, but the man… I'm not
sure about him…"
"Grey morality, eh?"
The horror in red
took out a AK-47, and aimed it in the general direction of the two
teenagers.
"Would you two just shut up? You're ruining
my concentration."
Raptor became visibly enraged at this, but he
didn't want to provoke her to shoot them.
"A-Ah…"
Anita
raised an eyebrow, drinking her tea coyly.
"I find it
increasingly depressing that one of our age has such a homicidal view
towards her peers and upperclassmen."
The girl, her eyes
watering in anger at such a simple statement, shot a few rounds in
their direction, intending to pierce Anita right between the eyes.
Cecil remembered his mission of protecting Anita for the sake of
mankind, and jumped out in front of the bullet-path, covering
her.
Thankfully, Anita had made a psychic shield, which deflected
said bullets, and Cecil got off of her, embarrassed; he always was
bad at looking like a gentleman.
"U-Uhm… Sorry."
Anita
said nothing, simply dusting off her little purple dress.
As
Raptor was about to viciously hit the girl upside the head, as did
the blue girl, the part of the wall that had planks over it gave
violently, and there was one of Cecil's 'friends'.
"Wh-What
th'?", Raptor said incredulously.
At first there was one huge
robot, but as Raptor looked around, the windows were completely
covered in yellow forms; they began to chant.
"SAVE THE BOY. SAVE . ELIMINATE… ALL… THREATS TO BOTH."
Cecil hurriedly
went to one of the units, and opening up a latch inside, he began to
type in some new files.
"NEW ORDERS: AND
ADDED TO ''. HAS BEEN UPDATED
TO INCLUDE . UPDATING ALL MODELS. Updating 1 out of
189,504,929 models… Updating 2 out of 189,504,929 models…"
This edited one continued to convert the others, and all of the robots stayed still.
Raptor used this
lull as an opportunity to stab the girl in red with his ribs, and she
wailed in pain.
"You…!"
"I have n' mercy t'
children if they're vicious l'il brats!"
"UPDATE COMPLETE."
Their heads whirred around, moving towards B.B. Hood.
"TERMINATE. LIQUIDATE. ERADICATE. UNDER ORDERS OF THE BOY…"
The girl in red
shrieked and looked for a possible exit. She managed to run away
through a backdoor exit, and the robots chased her.
"Good
riddance," the blue girl said. "I hope she dies!"
"Me
too," her paper said, turning into a human form; this statement
shocked the blue girl, though.
Raptor watched with amazement as
the Huitzil flew away to go into semi-hibernation.
"Y-Y' have
quite th' army there, kid."
Cecil grinned.
"Every little
boy dreams of having his own pet robot. I have a fleet! Though
I had to program them to not… wipe out existence."
Raptor
grinned complacently.
"I admit, aft' motion pictures first
came out, they 'ad a few about robots. Back then, they were made
outta cardboard and tin foil."
Cecil's jaw dropped.
"
How old are you?!"
"I was born in '89, dude.
"
"Sounds more like 1889 to me…"
"That's
what I meant."
Cecil was freaked out, understandably.
"H-How
old is the blue girl?"
"Lei-Lei? She's…
nineteen."
"Mister, no offense, but I think you're a dirty
old man. You hang out with the paper-girl, who looks to be the same
age. And they both look seventeen, while you're exactly a century
older than they are!"
Raptor grinned, to
Cecil's surprise.
"Boy, am I proud of it! I have th' devil's
luck, I found 'er and 'er ghost sister at an inn. Well, we should
get going. Le Malta planned a world tour, so we can get more
sources…"
Lei-Lei and her
ghost sister nodded, and they all began to walk away, leaving the
large amount of food money on the table.
"W-Wait," Cecil
insisted, running after them. "You see… Anita is destined to be
the future savior of mankind."
"Yeh," Raptor said. "That
bloke Donovan said so once."
"Donovan," Anita said suddenly,
"is not... my 'father' anymore. He gave in to the dark,
and…"
She began to cry, and Cecil went over to comfort
her.
The five of them were silent, and Lei-Lei's eyes were
watering, as if she had been in a similar situation.
"Well,"
Lei-Lei said, "we can act as surrogate parents, right?"
Raptor
froze suddenly.
"Wh-What?"
"They're a couple of poor
children who have nobody, save for a bunch of robots, to help them.
They need a real set of parental figures. They need us.
Raptor…"
"B-But I'm no good with kids."
"Please…"
Lei-Lei
was choking up. Raptor, who looked hurt by such, sighed with heavy
reluctance.
"Well, as long as if no robots come t' attack me,
and if they can help with our search to find that armor… An' if
nither of 'em thinks I'm their father, then I'm cool."
Cecil
smiled, and held out his hand to help Anita down from her perch on
the cabinet.
"See, Anita? We'll be safe from D. Even if we are
being provided for by a couple of zombies and a ghost…"
"No,"
Anita said, picking up her book and doll. "They're… our new
guardians, we must treat them with respect."
[[Author's
Endnote: As you don't really 'describe' in fanfic, Teen!Cecil
is supposed to have his usual hairstyle, but dresses in an oversized
white business shirt/black pants, to relate to how he has a mind a
lot like a kid, but the body of a near-adult [and that he basically
lives off of part-time jobs, and can't afford much clothes-money].
I also imagined him to wear a Mayan waistwrap, as the Darkstalkers
folks all have some evidence of their culture [Anakaris definitely,
and Raptor has the union jack on his pants] in their clothing.
Teen!Anita looks like her incarnation in Dee's ending in Vampire:
Darkstalkers Collection.]]
