Percephine: Hi everyone! ^ ^ Sorry this chapter is so late. I was working on some other projects and completely lost track of time.
Tombstone: Not to mention the constant procrastination.
Percephine: Hush you! Well either way I'm finally back so how about we get a long with the story?
Tombstone: . . .
Percephine: Tombstone do the thing.
Tombstone: But you said to hush.
Percephine: I'm sorry, now please do the thing?
Tombstone: Say please.
Percephine: Pplease do the thing?
Tombstone: No.
Percephine: * Gets on knees * Pretty [lease do the the thing!
Tombstone: * Sighs * Alright but only because it's weird watching you beg. In the last chapter the other #96 met me and we were going to meet Kagami's creator. Oh and cookie to whoever can figure out what Zexal character the color of my clothes are based on.
Tombstone still had his hand held out to the other #96 as he looked at Tombstone in confusion before asking, " What do you mean by ' Kagami's creator? ' "
Tombstone was somehow able to keep his nonchalant expression yet still give the other #96 a look that clearly said, ' Just how stupid are you? ' before saying in his sing songy voice with a bit of irritation mixed in, " As in the person who created Kagami. Unless you think someone like Kagami is born naturally? "
" I guess not. " the other #96 said as he looked down in thought. He the let out a startled " Ahh! " as he felt himself being lifted off the ground. Before he knew what happened he was flung over Tombstone's shoulder as he started climbing until he got to one of the doors on the eighth row from the bottom and went through it.
Tombstone was carrying the other #96 down a bunch of long twisted corridors with nothing but black and gray walls and a small door popping p on one side or the other as they moved. After a few minutes the shock finally wore off of the other #96 quickly became angry and start wriggling around trying to get loose while screaming, " Put me down! I can fly you know! "
Tombstone looked at the other #96 through the corner of his eye saying, " Oh really? Then why were you just sitting on the ground wasting time while my arm got tired? "
" I was thinking! " Shouted the other #96 as he continued to struggle to get down. " Not something an insane brute like you would understand! "
Tombstone turned his head away from the other #96 with a feigned pained expression saying, " Uwa! So mean! " All of a sudden Tombstone dropped brought both of his hands up to his mouth which loosened his grip on the other #96 who quickly fell face first on to the ground.
The other #96 was going to yell at him when he noticed the shock and slight fear in Tombstone's eyes. The strangest part was that seemed seemed to be glancing through the wall next to him but back in the memory bubble, " Hey guys, " Started Alit fidgeting a little. " Is it just me or is he staring right at us? "
" Not us, him. " Shark said pointing at Astral who was once again shaking, and mumbling things like ' This doesn't make any sense ' and ' How? Why? '
Kaito reaches a hand towards Astral. " Astral are you okay? " Right before Kaito actually touched him the bubble shimmered a silvery blue.
The memory showed the other Astral in a house made of the blue crystal showing it was probably his home in Astral World. The other Astral was actually sitting on a between Azura and a about four or five year old Toma in a white lamb onesie. Azura and Toma were eating pieces of cake while the other Astral simply stared at the piece in front of him before saying, " Are you sure he didn't poison them? "
Toma and Azura both gave the other Astral an very exaggerated groan. Azura pinched the bridge of her nose and said, " Astral, please not this again. "
Toma took a sucker out of his pocket and put it in is mouth before turning toward the other Astral and said in a serious, " Now baby I know you don't trust him because you're worried about Shirudo but you have to learn that Kagami isn't a bad person, just different. "
The other Astral said in the same serious voice, " I can't take you serious while you're wearing that. " Toma then pulled a huge silver scythe seemingly out of thin air and bonked the other Astral on the head with the handle. The other Astral rubbed his head a little before saying with a slight whine, " Mother!? "
Toma made the scythe disappear into thin air again then said in a scolding voice, " Your son made this for me with love and hard work and I will let no one, not even you make fun of it. Do you understand me young man? "
" Yes, mother. " The other Astral said with the same slight whine.
Toma's warm smile came back as he said, " Glad we have an understanding, now back to what I was saying. Sure Kagami is different, but so is Shirudo. He's something amazing that has never been created before because most people seem to think Astral energy and chaos energy shouldn't mix. You've seen first hand how people act around him because he looks, acts and dresses differently. Do you really want to do that to Kagami? "
The other Astral let out a sigh. " I guess not. But are you completely sure he's not dangerous? "
Toma was about about to say something but was interrupted by someone screaming, " Mom, dad, mother! " Everyone one turned to see Shirudo about age fourteen, wearing a long gold dress to match his mid back length gold hair. His red bans were a little longer on the right side than the left.
He held in his arms what looked like Toma except his hair was lack with purple bangs instead of blonde with blue bangs, and his eyes were want black and the other a faded glassy blue. He also wore a black version of Toma's black onesie. "Shirudo held the look a like up closer to the others and said with a proud, beaming smile, " Look! I made Kagami a outfit too! "
Kagami just laid limp in Shirudo's arms like a doll and made a ' Baa ' sound. Toma turned toward Astral and said sarcastically, " I don't know baby, just look at the blood lust in those eyes. "
The other Astral put his hands up in defeat. " Alright, I was wrong. I admit it. After all, imagine the nightmare my life would be if he was just like you. "
Toma tilted his head away from the with a feigned pained expression saying, " Uwa! So mean! "
The other Astral gave Toma a tired look and asked, " Could you please stop doing that? "
Toma patted the other Astral's head and simply said, " Never. " With that the memory ended and everyone look at each other with confused and shocked faces. Before anyone could say anything though the bubble shimmered purple and the old memory started up again.
Tombstone lowered his hands from his mouth and said. " Uwa! I let it slip and now everyone knows one of my little secrets! "
" What are you talking about? " The other #96 said in confusion as he stood up.
Tombstone patted the other #96 on the head and said " You'll find out soon enough. " The other #96 just brushed Tombstone's hand off his head. " After all- " Tombstone started but stopped to get a sucker out of his pocket and put it in his mouth and smiled as he finished, " -the real fun has just began. "Percephine: Cliffhanger!
Tombstone: Uwa! So mean! Having me make such a silly mistake!Percephine: You really do say it all the time. -_-
Tombstone: * Pats Percephine's head * Consider it my cliffhanger.Percephine: Damn. Well bye everyone! ^ ^ Don't forget to review!
