A lighter flame rose to life. It was lifted to catch the tip of a cigarette on fire. The tip flared orange as lungs sucked in air. The cigarette was taken away from pink tinted lips and blue smoke rose into the air. Setsuna had been in dire need of a cig. Now that her addiction was filled for the moment she turned, a gun suddenly appearing in her hand. A bullet rang out and glass cracked. Fragments filled the air. Yusuke dove for the floor, his eyes closed tightly. When the deadly shards had landed, Setsuna stood in the middle, miraculously unharmed. She put her cigarette to her lips and took another drag.
Laughing filled the hall of mirrors. "Don't you know it's seven years bad luck to brake a mirror? Lets see, seven times five would be… 35 years. Oh my."
"Wow, it can do simple math. Pretty good for a mysterious disembodied voice." Setsuna said sarcastically.
Yusuke stood up, brushing pieces of glass from his person. "You could have warned me you were gonna do something stupid." He said glaring "You could have gotten me killed!"
She pouted "Awwww, but I wanted to be melodramatic! It's so rare to have a really good gun scene anymore. There's not near as much violence in this job as I thought there would be."
Now, by this time the disembodied voice was feeling quite left out. So, what better thing to do than to create a storm of deadly fire? I can't think of anything, can you?
Well, the baddie couldn't. Fire started raining down from the sky. "Holy Hell!" screeched Setsuna, loosing her cool. She put her hands up and a wall of wind caught the fire and pushed it back to the ceiling. "RUN LIKE HELL DAMNIT!"
Bunny
Bunny glanced at Hiei. They grabbed the bar in front of them and pushed, releasing them from its grip. Then they flipped , putting their palms on the back of the seats. They landed simultaneously on the tracks, as if choreographed. They saw the roller coaster go into the cave and disappear. Bunny jumped on the top of the plastic prop and stomped to the other side of it and looked down. Sure enough, the roller coaster had reached the other side, but it was empty. She walked back and jumped down.
"Want to see where they went?" she asked. "Either that, or we can go torment clowns. You're call."
"Clowns, or battle. That's a tough decision." He said. Then he sighed "I suppose saving the day would be the responsible thing."
Bunny smiled "Plus, I bet whoever did this would be more of a challenge then stupid clowns.
"That too." They headed into the cave and disappeared.
Raye
Kurama grabbed the wheel, trying to stop the teacups. Unfortunately, they were out of control. It was getting way to fast. They flew out of the child's ride. Kurama landed on his feet but Raye kept on going. She landed on all fours on a stone wall that appeared there. Or rather that they appeared amid. There were four of them, plus a floor and ceiling to match. There were people passed out around them. The only movement was their breathing. They observed this in a moment of seconds. Raye un-matrix-ed herself from the wall, landing on her feet from the 10 ft fall.
"Where the hell are we?" she asked.
Catty
The man's eyes were blue and unseeing. "He's a golith." said Catty. "Just a doll, not real."
"Well I have a feeling he's the only one. If these guns are real I'm guessing-"
A little girl tossed a ring over a milk bottle, but it didn't stop. In fact it grew spikes. And started heading towards the little girl that threw it. A bullet hit it, making it land harmlessly on the ground. Catty stood with her gun still pointed. "This is so not good." she repeated.
Rosa
Indeed, the ride had gotten faster. Then it stopped all together. Only no one was in it. The occupants were now in the same cave that Raye and Kurama were in.
Well, technically they were falling in the cave. Rosa put her arms out, summoning energy to hold her. Mimi threw her hand out and a disk made of spirit energy appeared under her, holding her aloft. Van grabbed his sword, plunging the blade into the wall, slowing his decent. The sound of nails against a chalkboard was the result. Well, that and a large slice in the rock. The sword stopped about seven feet from the ground. Van put his feet to the wall and pulled. The sword slid out and he flipped, landing on his feet. Both Mimi and Rosa landed in front of him.
At that same moment a new shipment of people fell from the air and a moment after Hiei and Bunny appeared in the midst of them.
Raye and Kurama stood, joining the group. "Don't bother looking, there's no way out." said Kurama.
"So what are we gonna do?" asked Mimi.
"We wait." replied Van.
"Well they better come soon." Hiei said "I was promised a fight."
Pooky
A dummy fell from the ceiling. It was headless, its head in its hands. The eyes rolled up and the mouth opened saying "You shouldn't have come, you'll never leave now…in one place." it cackled.
"EEEP!" squealed the preteens. As Pooky and Shorty came into view the eyes rolled to them and said "Oh. You two are going to have fun here. We haven't had fresh meat in soo long." They realized that the dummy wasn't really a dummy, but real.
Shorty reached over and put her hand on the dead body's arm. "Release the soul inside you." she said. The eyes closed and he dropped his head. A distinct smell of rotting flesh filled the hall.
"Ew. couldn't you wait until after we're gone to release him." Pooky said.
"Sorry."
The car stopped with a screech. Everyone screamed. A voice came over the intercom. "We are experiencing some technical difficulties. You will have to walk the rest of the way…if you survive."
The girls rolled their eyes "Maybe it will be campy after all."
Author: NOTES…
1) I realized that I like having glass blow up. I included it in another of my stories… or chapters… I don't remember which… but I did.
2) Tormenting clowns is fun
3) A golith is usually made by someone with magical powers out of mud. It's really cool.
4) Shorty has magic powers, she's not a necromancer. Just magic.
