Fro Ninja; Hello everyone! Glad to see that we're still at 100 for , I'm so sorry for the late release for this one, I meant to have it out much , much sooner, but life and all that. You guys know how it is.
Jester; What else is new?
Fro Ninja; Apparently not a lot, my good friend. It still continues to to plug us up like the good little pigs we are and then take us out for hellish joyish ride and then at the end of it all, they call themselves our friend. Then it starts all over again. But on the other hand, onto to the late release. Since this came very late, I made it twice as long. But will the quality balance with the quantity? I leave that up to you to decide. Anyway, onto reviews
The Book; Thanks for checking in as always my friend. Also that's quite the interesting comparison you made there, although a bit far from what I'm trying to make Huey's character into, something more of a chaotic Chris Knight that eventually matures into something much greater(i.e. a hero of sorts), but we'll get into that later. As for Nicosia, the details of his character are definitely layered, and well be uncovered more and more as the series goes on.
NeonPartyDude; No sweat dude. Glad to see college is treating you ever so nicely in terms of time lol. That line was apparently something that's said to a lot of hitchhikers which Jester apparently knows for whatever reason. He's probably an expert at the craft. On the other note, I wasn't really planning for him to come off as chaotic persay, more so as cunning but either I'm glad you saw it that way. And finally, the reason why Nicosia did what he did is indeed odd, but we'll get more into that later on.
Fro Ninja; Glad we could get that all cleared up. As a side note, I also noticed that this story has gotten a couple of new followers to it. If you're reading this message, first I would like to thank so very much for checking out our weird little story, and hope you mean to do so as time goes on. And also, please leave a comment while you're at it with some feedback. It really helps us grow as people and writers. Anywho, let's get into it!
Nicosia's Perspective
"No,no,no,no! It's not enough..."I find myself talking in absolute silence as my transformed knife ejects from some sorry fools throat, littered with blood from his jugulars and the warmth from his throat still fresh on the tip. I always liked the sensation of impaling someone. I don't know how to explain exactly what I like about it, the burst of adrenaline that comes from hearing the steel jack into their flesh, watching the skin as it stretches inward toward the body as it's being pierced, the embrace of the tiny dark speck of blood that splashes on my face as I take the first plunge, or the sound of a sort of animal like squirming as the innards get picked apart, giving a sort of soothing sound of sploshes and slushes that coming along with it similar to a melody.
I continue my racing thoughts as my handknife is inserted over and over again, increasing the depth of the pool around my sorry victim's body even more. I had no idea how many times I had done it. I lost count at around fifty. But sill, no matter how many times I did it, it still served no satisfaction towards me." You...would you like to be next?" I stop in my unconscious endeavor, and notice the stupid whimpering woman. Apparently she's trying to throw off my attempts of achieving my fun by coating herself with fear. Like that will change anything. I'm going to kill her. I want to kill her. Oh yes. I most certainly do. I then ejected my knife out of her apparent friend, but not before taking notice to his displeased face at the fate that befallen him. It was one of sadness. I hated the sight of it."What's wrong? Does what I've done to you not please you at all? Should I have killed you better?! Should I?!"
I transformed my hand from a knife into a steel club littered with spikes and bashed his fucking face in, skull and all. I hummed along to the rhythmic tune of the club colliding with bone and sinew, almost similar to cracking eggs in the morning. It kept hitting again and again, until the face became purely unrecognizable. No! I could still picture that face in my head! I hit his face in more times as my humming grew even louder to match it. It was already a minute before I realized that there was nothing left of it left. I stopped my hand upon the realization, with it still hot from blood, bone and matter surrounded on it and dripping uncontrollably onto the floor. My face felt oddly warm as I touched it. I must have gotten a lot more blood on it then I realized. We can't have that can we? Mother always said appearances were everything. She was indeed right.
As I walked over to her, my nice new sneakers splashing in the warm pool of my victims other sweet juices, she started to cower in fear as if she was looking at some other worldly creature. Understandable. All my life I have been looked at as such, so meeting another that shares the same perspective is no deal breaker to me.
"P-please! Have mercy!" She blubbered in tears and snot. Her words were so unintelligible, the noise that uttered out of her mouth became similar to the sounds of defecation. Just plain shit talk. I couldn't stand it.
I grabbed a clump of the stupid looking mouse's blonde hair and stared at her deep within her baby blue eyes. I could see my own reflection, covered in a hot steaming mess. I'll probably have to take about two different showers when this is all over. One soaked in vanilla bubble soap, and another in strawberry lemon, while possibly playing over some relaxing elevator music, or maybe...
"Don't hurt me! Please god! Don't hurt me!" My thoughts ended being struck by this whiny whimpering bitch. Clicking my teeth in disgust, I struck her in the nose three times. My fist ended up denting in her nasal structure so much she appeared to have a hard time breathing. Seeing the masterful artwork that it made to her face, I did it a few more times for good measure. The sound of my knuckles meeting flesh constantly was a great thing to experience for sure, but it was doing murder on my beautiful hands. Irony at its best work. My knuckles began to grow a little a numb upon noticing that her nose was so far pushed back into her face she could barely utter out a breath, and whatever breaths she could exhale came out as muffled garbage that was trying to catch air. The very sound was making me want to claw my ears off.
"Shut...the...fuck...up. I can't think with all of this whining going on..." I said silently under my breath, attempting to keep my unbridled rage under control. This woman is trying to make me believe that she is truly grasped with fear right now. That's not my intention of course, but it obviously can't be helped that it comes out that way."If you want to make so much noise, try and make it once I've shoved my spiked hand down your gullet until I use your heart as a speedbag. Then, and only then, will you be able to make as much of that fucking whining as you want. Deal?" I tried to make the situation as simple as possible for her stupid mind to understand, as I was a few seconds to close to rationalizing into an entirely different circumstance. Simply put, I was very, very close to killing this bitch ugly fat bitch.
My proposition ended up falling short as she continued to squeal even louder. Or squeek. It's really hard to tell after you've heard it play in your ear over and over again. After hearing about three more squeels of the bane of my hearing, I decided to silence it permanently by doing exactly what I said I was going to do. But before I could do anything do anything, I began to hear the faint sounds of sirens in the background. "Well now. That certainly puts a damper on our activities for the evening now doesn't it?" I say that as I notice a device in her right hand that's being clasped to oblivion. It was one of those devices that is given to ostentatious douchebags in case they want to get a hold of the cops without using the phone. My nose flared up out of disbelief that she was willing to ruin my fun that much!"Really?! You couldn't let me have the opportunity to enjoy this a little while longer you fat piece of shit! Dammit!"
Fighting the urge to smash her skull in, I leave with one final knee to her face, and shoving that pesky device of hers through her eye socket, before exiting the house out of the back door. Oh. I'd almost forgotten that this is about the fifth or sixth house I've broken into in the past hour or so. It's not like their random break outs of murder sessions, although that would be a consideration for another time.
All of the people that I've paid a visit to all have connections with SCP, be it through bank accounts, office details, interactions regarding activities going on in the area. The base that I had hit last night seemed to only be one of a few straggler groups in this city. So far I haven't found anything that points to it though.
According to the Supreme Leader, they mainly deal with the genetic enhancement and investigation of beings that they find scientifically intriguing, which meant that any kind of thing that fell under that category was in danger of being their subject. I could care less about that however. I was given the opportunity of a life time by my lord, and I certainly don't intend to let it go to waste. To be able to be in a city and to be allowed to kill, rape, and torture anyone I so well please was absolutely gallivanting to me beyond measure.
As I jumped from rooftop to rooftop with elegant grace, I noticed that I was coming upon the entrance to the main city, where tons upon tons of lights beamed all around me. I then started to get a weird feeling in the back of my neck as I began to approach the hospital. I stared at my target through the window, overlooking him from the same branch on the same tree that I used last time I was here.
I then relaxed by putting my legs up onto the branch and placing my head against the bark. I had no idea why I kept coming back here like this, but it was clearly something to pass the time. His breathing looked a little more consistent from last time, and IV was adjusted perfectly from when I last adjusted it myself.
"*sigh* I should honestly keep a log for these kinds of moments. They honestly cause me to lose track of whatever is happening around so easily." I noticed as soon as I said that, a good ten minutes had already gone by on the clock on my cell phone. I checked a few news sites to see if there was anything interesting in the feed to read, but nothing. I resumed my watching of my target a few minutes later.
I then wrapped my arms around my legs, placing my head on my knees. His face was a bit more clear to see now that the skies cleared up, letting the moon shine a bit more brighter, and the details in his human side came out a little more. The curves in the structure of his face was a lot more handsome than I originally thought. It's a shame though. If we weren't enemies...I honestly don't know.
What do you sound like? What sort of impression does your voice give whenever you speak? Is it aggressive yet fragile? Or is it calm yet direct and blunt? I have to admit, I am rather eager to find out. Just to hear you one time. Your face, your body. You're just like me aren't you? Misunderstood, different from the others. Looked at with judgmental eyes because of your background or where you come from, or what house you were born into. I know that feeling all too well. With no one that will understand you, the only one to rely on is yourself. I've had to learn that lesson one too many times, as I'm sure you have yourself
If it weren't for the Supreme Leader, I don't think I would even be here now that I think about. He saved me from a life of servitude, of being put down on by the nobility because of my abilities. For being a Lowborn as they called me as a child. But because of him, I now I'm able to use my abilities for my own gain and to my own advantage. I'm able to kill anyone who had said otherwise about me. Or if I feel like it. My chains are broken because of the simply truth that it is my body, and I'm able to do anything with if I put my mind or desire to it. He set me free. He showed me absolute liberation of the self. As I am sure he will do the same to you once we bring you to him, Kote.
Yes. Lowborns. Because of the curse given to us eons ago, not all of us have retained the original scope of our powers, save for the Pure-type nobility, and because of that ascertained their authority over the minority. The inheritance of the particular gene does not pass onto to all children however. Because the occurrence is so rare in a child born outside the nobility, families often pray for their child to have the gift, for if their powers show up during infancy, the family gets accumulated in social status. Those who don't, become the laughing stock of the community.
I still remember the expression of disgust and agony of my parent's face when they found out my powers didn't surface until much later on in my life. And when they, the forms and shapes that it made my body take was...strange and weird to them. I lived in a town where the nobility was everything to everyone living there. Where people either feared them, or wanted to be them, both meant they would have to pay a certain price. The price my parents paid for me, was the embarrassment of everyone else.
I'm told I was a new breed. One that could change any parts of his body into any form or shape that he wanted without cost to limbs, arteries, or blood streams. But this was not what anyone wanted in a noble, so they rejected me. My powers, status, my appearance, everything was turned down. In fact, now that I remember, the first ones to reject me, were my parents. They could not be associated with the responsibility of raising such an anal son with such...embarrassing powers, so they threatened to disown me. I was fueled by the lack of love and affection that was never given to me, and so I killed them.
My parents were my first opportunity to taste the peculiar yet inviting taste of my victim's blood. That day, staring at their lifeless bodies sprawled out on the floor of the house, streams flowing from the innards, and furniture all around me smashed to bits. My naked body glowing in the moonlight as it peaked through the window, and circled around me. The tears of an unwanted child ran down my cheek as both of my arms were in the form of a giant sword and a giant steel club, both tattered with blood of my so called care givers. The feelings and emotions of doing such an action rushed through my head like taking a bad drug for the first time. Fear, rage, sadness, and excitement were all synonymous with the thoughts I had at the time. The progressive feeling of wanting to kill them over and over again. Or just to kill anyone that rejected me. Anyone.
Knowing full of what I did, I tried to run away, but it didn't take long until the authorities captured me. I was then taken to a special facility the Forsaken use to further their power even more, by performing inhumane experiments on themselves and others. Some of them tried to rewrite they genetic code by using splicing techniques, others would cut their own limbs off and reattach the parts of other powerful Pure-types that came before them, but were no longer a part of this world. Before I laid eyes on the place, I had always had doubts that those in power would always seek more power to either make others feel inadequate or to take it for themselves before any could gain it. And those who would, are complete and utter idiots. To this day, I have not changed that mindset.
Against my will, experiments were run on me numerous times. Sometimes the men in charge there would take samples of my blood, mix with the blood of other Lowborns, and then inject it back to me. Because of this, my body began to give rise to the ability to change into different people. At first I didn't know how to control it, often having different parts of my face belonging to one form, and the rest of my body belonging to another. I would often look like a transmogrified abomination, and those who witnessed it could not even fathom to look upon me, even those performing the experiments. Yes, they too rejected me at the seems, and so they payed for it with their lives. I killed them all. Scientists, subjects, even faculty just simply working there. From that point on, it was all a blur. I had no idea how many people I had killed from that day on, and the only thing tethering me to the world itself was the sound of each body dropping to the floor, and the smell of carcass passing my nose.
While it seems like I have taken rejection as an excuse to kill anyone that looks upon, I always seen at as how people look at me rather than how they judge me. Whenever look at me. The true me. They feel that everything about is something that should not be. Everything down to my very genes. I wouldn't blame them, if I were superficial and cosmetic bigots like them. But would I say it's about what's inside that counts? Yes. No. Maybe. All those answers belong to that question.
For the longest time, I spent my days just running from what other people told me I was and what I would never be. Constantly showered with the praises of rejection and denial of self. Until I met him. I had tried to kill him out because he had look at me with disappointing eyes, the same as all of them before. Unfortunately, that effort ended in absolute failure. I could not describe what abilities he had in detail, but it was...beautiful in a terrifying sense. Everything that I had lacked and wanted. When I thought he was going to kill me and end my abominable existence, I had learned the truth of his disappointing glare with these very words.
"Do you honestly live your life stuck in the shadow of the words of others? Those who do not understand true beauty have every right to fear it, for the idea is beyond what their feeble minds can comprehend. When I look upon you, I see not someone of shame and disgrace, but someone with ability to turn the truth of what he once thought of himself, into something different."
Those words, had changed my life forever. At first I thought they were words of pity, but he ensured me that they were not, but rather words of understanding and compassion. The Supreme Leader was the first to accept me, and to this day I remain loyal to him and him alone. Anything that he desired, I had carried out for him, in all senses. Under his tutelage, I gained better control of my powers, and used them to gain his approval. They had many uses, from stealth and subterfuge, to assassinations leading from seduction. Anything he asked of me, I gladly performed it with no fealty and no second thoughts, and he rewarded me every time I did. He was the one who rescued me from the darkness of my own insecurity, and the possibility of losing every fiber of the essence that I barely held onto.
When I look upon you, I see the same thing. You're me in every concept of what structures you. You loathe rejection, and seek those who will only simply accept you for who you are and not what you are.I have found that someone for me, and I want to help you find that someone. The Supreme Leader taught me to simply not care what others think, and to damn them if they think negative about me. A lesson I'm sure you learned on your own after many years of struggle. If I knew someone like you back then...
Suddenly, I felt the presence of others approaching the hospital. One of them felt familiar, but the other was entirely different. This presence was rather...peculiar. I couldn't distinguish it from another I felt long ago. But it was different. The feeling of chaos. And the feeling of order were in a battle between each other. I see this one has yet to choose their path in life. But it made no difference to me. I was to kill anyone that approached my charge that wasn't nurses or anyone else, and hopefully this one was going to be first taste of a real battle ever since I gotten to this shithole of a country.
I hopped down from the tree and changed my form after swiping one of the nurses uniforms from the broom closet.
"Whoever you are, please provide me with some adequate entertainment..."
Huey's Perspective
A few hours earlier
Town Square
I have to say, this is probably the most fun I've had in a very long while. Ever since the whole memory loss thing anyway. And the beating the shit out of my buddy Kote. That was fun too.
"Hey Huey! Why are you walking so slow?! C'mon!" Zeo yelled out to me as we walked into Moonstone park. Appropriate naming considering it was night time and that's where most dates take place. Good job developers.
I had just been discharged from the hospital unit yesterday, and Zeo invited me out to explore the town since I never got a chance to. Broken rib and all. According to the nurses, my injuries healed faster than a normal person, which in that case I had to helpfully inform them I'm not entirely normal in any sense. Which I had to demonstrate what I meant in a "physical" sense, if you know what I mean...I beat them in a game of scrabble, six times in a row. If you think I did what you think I did, you obviously have a low opinion about me. Not that I care honestly.
Anyway, I decided to take Zeo up on her offer. It's not everyday I get to feel like a regular kid.
"Sorry! I was just admiring the craftsmanship of this park. Look at the ridges over by the lake! Killer stuff on those ridges lemme tell you." I gave my best answer, only to lead her puffing up her face.
"You liar. You were probably looking at some other girl that was walking by weren't you?"
"You're currently the one that has all of my attention right now sweetheart."
"Reeeaaaalllyyy?" She leered as she approached me with investigating eyes.
"Really."
"Is that right? Well then..." She then did the unthinkable to the people around us, and puckered her lips out in front of me."Why don't you show me so proof that you are paying attention? Hmmmm?"
While that very offer does sound tempting... "Hmpf?!"
I returned her offer by placing my index finger on her fragile and soft lips, and gazed into her loving eyes with a slightly salacious stare.
"Contrary to popular belief, I do have standards. One thing I can't absolutely stand is people who use intimacy to get closer to one another before using actual words to bridge the gap. In other words, I want to actually take things slow with a pretty little thing such as yourself." I took my finger of her lip, and gently wrapped my arm around her inviting hips." Is that a bad thing?"
It took her a few seconds to respond to my question. I don't even think she noticed I placed my hands around her. I was half expecting to catch her in a bashful expression after that line, but true to her nature, she put back on her usual coy face, one that I've grown pretty attached to as of late.
"It's not really a bad thing per se... But is that what you really want? You could always take advantage of me. But then my mom and sister would beat the ever loving shit out of you when they find that out." She said with a smile.
"We certainly wouldn't that." She definitely wasn't lying. After some research, I discovered that wolf people have a certain ability that when they share a special bond with another person can sense when the other is in danger, or experiences a certain feeling that goes against their will or nature. This of course extends to family as well as close friends, and pretty much anyone can learn in it, given that they're attuned to enough spiritual energy to feel it. I should learn that sometime. Might come in handy when I want to tell someone on base to grab me some soda from the fridge.
"But enough about that! What do you think of my dress?" She started to twirl around in a circle as I my eyes scanned every part of scandalous outfit of hers. She was wearing small white button up shirt with the tops unbuttoned of course showing off her reasonable cleavage with most of her belly exposed. She was also wearing dark blue booty shorts that seemed to grab those curves for days, along with some white thigh highs, and highwater sneakers, all complimented by her spiked wristbands and cute little white knit hat, tipping over in the right direction. I'm really starting to question Lisa's parenting skills.
"It definitely suits you." I said honestly.
"What do you mean it suits me?" She asked glaringly.
"C'mon Zeo. You're rocking those clothes like nobody here. Plus you got that bombshell figure, why wouldn't you show it off?"
"Oh...I don't about that."
"I'm serious shorts make your legs go on for days. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep my eyes off of 'em."
"*giggles* Make sure you don't! I'm the only girl you should be looking tonight!"
"Duly noted. Shall we go then?" I then extend out my arm for to grab onto.
"Such a gentleman!" She then gently wraps both of her arms around mine. As she comes in closer, hints of her perfume fill my nose. White cherry by the gist of it, from the Spring Catalog, page 46. The girl's got class. The pressing from her cleavage isn't that bad either. I'm doing a good job in not letting her know that though. I was under the impression that Kote's sisters were these relentless teases that flaunted every five seconds. This isn't so bad. Maybe I don't have anything to be worried about.
'Phase 1 complete!' All of a sudden, a random voice played in my head in full HD. Don't tell me...'He's got his eyes on me like he wants to tear my clothes off! Who knew he was THIS much of a horndog?! Looks like he's gonna be easier to tease than bro! Show boys a little boob action here, a little ass and pussy shot here and there, and they're putty in your hands. By the end of the night, he's gonna be all up on me like a lost puppy!" I see that I spoke too soon on the not worrying part. This girl is a lot more dangerous than I gave her credit for. Kote my friend, you certainly have your hands full.
Mel's Frozen Yogurt Paradise
The first stop on our little escapade was a frozen yogurt shop that Zeo and her sister Carly had gone to a few days ago. She tried to present it to me as a surprise, but I kind of had a feeling this town had a frozen yogurt shop. For some reason where there's a hospital, there's a always a ice cream or a yogurt shop nearby. Grief goes better with dairy I guess.
We sat down at one of the tables near the back window after getting our orders. She ordered a melted kiwi with vanilla and sprinkles and gummi worms. Exquisite taste in yogurt as well? This girl just keeps surprising me. I ordered a strawberry vanilla yogurt with chocolate sprinkles, golden oreos, and sour patch candy. I also got some barbecue potato chips with a strawberry mixed with chocolate shake as a dipping sauce. The hospital food was decent, but it hardly had the stupid calories my teenage body craved.
"Man! I thought you were lying when you said this place has the pick your lunch box special that comes with free toppings every time you use your discount card! I thought that was a myth!" I said after stuffing my face full of my delicious piece of heaven.
"Me and sis were surprised to when we found this place on coming from the hospital. It's not everyday that you meet such an establishment with such eloquent and exquisite taste."
"Hear, hear."
We both started laughing at our silly jests. A few minutes into eating our snacks, we decided to challenge each other to see who can eat our yogurt faster. It was a fun little spat that ended up with me choking on my spoon, and Zeo having to fish out with the Heimlich maneuver. The spoon ended up flying into oncoming traffic and causing a wreckage of this white sedan and a BMW up the block. The guy driving the sedan beat the BMW guy with a rusty tire iron. Ahhhh, the things kids can learn these days.
"Soooo, is it really okay for you to be out of your bed? I know you just got discharged and all..."Zeo asked me as I was trying to catch my breath, both from choking and laughing.
"...If you mean my physical therapy, they told me I pretty much checked out in everything. Plus it's not like I was in a disabled state. I could still walk around the place, but I couldn't do any sort extraneous activities. Like running, jumping, beating people up. That sort of thing."
"Wow. Musta been boring."
"Not really. The base has great internet. And their chemical resources are top notch. Straight out of Area 51. I've actually been working on something for the past few days that'll help your brother out, should he return to that state again."
"Really?!"
"Yep, though it's still in the testing stage, and if you hadn't noticed, theres an apparent lack of supply of test subjects..."
"Ohhhh..."
"Yeahhhhh..."
"*giggles* It's actually surprising. Me and my sister were probably figured you were masturbating all day, every day."
"Coming from you guys, I'll take that as a compliment. Although I would be cutting my risk of getting prostate cancer by some percentage by doing that on the daily."
"So wait? You do that everyday? Don't you get bored, or tired? Do you even have stamina?" 'I wonder how his dick looks? I bet it's probably one of those that's big even when soft! Or maybe it's one of those new age ones, the one that grows gradually over time, or even when they're penetrating. I bet he fires off like a sawed off shotgun with barely any recoil. Just thinking about makes me so curious' Oh my. Such a curious soul isn't she? I'm honestly blushing on the inside, but I prefer on the other hand it actually come out of her mouth in words.
"I'm sure the subject about my penis is mind boggling to you sweetheart, believe me it is to me everytime I look in a mirror. I mean, I have to put ice packs on it sometimes, it's unbelievable. But let's try to keep the dirty talk to minimum, yeah?"
She looked confused.
"I wasn't talking about your penis."
"Oh trust me. That subject was about to come up next. Unless you want to challenge me in the realms of dirty talk, you can. But I can't promise you will win."
"Hehehe. That sounds tempting."
We both started to chuckle. I wouldn't normally spout off garbage like that, but it actually helps alleviate some of the awkwardness that comes with a date. Plus, it never hurts being silly just to impress whoever you're with. It doesn't have to be that example, but the concept still follows.
Besides, it helped set up the bridge for something else. A topic of which I know is about to come up. "So. Were you able to find out anything else...about those guys that hurt my brother?"
Impeccable timing this one.
"I was actually going to bring that up honestly.I was able to do some research on the guys that took destroyed Happy Garland, and tried to kidnap your brother." Zeo's face then grew kind of pale when I mentioned the subject."Whoops.I'm sorry. Didn't mean to say it like that."
"No...it's fine. So what did you find out?"
I cleared my throat.
"That's the thing. I couldn't find anything. Whoever these...people are, databases about them are wiped clean. Not even the governmental archives in the Pentagon had anything on their activities, and they have cold files dating all the way back to the 60's."
"You hacked into the-?!" I quickly cover her mouth with my yogurt covered hand before she said anything more.
"Shhhh, you didn't hear that from me. Fisk is already threatening to cut my internet privileges because I got free Netflix by hacking his account. Just be quiet and eat the creamy yogurt. Deal?" She nodded, leading me to take my hand off her face. We ended attracting a crowd from her about to yell her lungs out.
"Yo! Did you just hear what that kid said? He told her to eat his cream!"
"Forget the kid! What the hell is that young lady wearing?! Is her mother training her for the Stripper World championships or something?!"
"Kids these days am I right?! Might as well send them out of the wombs with their butts on the sinks, and their business hanging out whenever they go to school."
Seeing as how they were all giving me a headache I had to shoo them all away, by threatening to literally kick the shit out of them. They left scared. She then licked the yogurt off of her lips that left on from my hand rather salaciously before it was quite erotic, I'm in serious mode now.
"But that's illegal!" She whispered up close to my ear.
"If you get caught doing the activity. Anyway, I couldn't find anything. I tried asking Ellen or Boss about it, but they've been hush hush about it. I could try other methods to find out, but I would rather not upset anybody." Plus I think they've both been around the block enough times to know when someone is trying to read their mind. Zeo has no idea I could do it, so the possibility of her asking about it was scrunched.
"But you know who they are right?"
Now I'm walking on eggshells...
"Well, from what I've been able to figure out, they're going after people like your brother, and trying to recruit in...some kind of army."
"An army? For what?"
I shook my head.
"I'm honestly not sure sweetheart. But one things for sure, they're definitely not going to stop here. They're going to keep doing this to other people, unless we stop them first."
"And you don't anything more than that?" She asked with me cautious eyes. To be honest, I've already told her too much, and I knew even more about what was going on. From that stint with my inner selves, to the interrogation the other day. I can easily piece what's going on here and where it's going to go. But the thing is, I'm not sure I even want to. For the sake of endangering those I care about again. I know exactly what the Forsaken is trying to do, and how they're going about doing it, but I can't tell her that. If I did that, there's nothing stopping Zeo from telling her family, and having them go on a rampage to try and find them, and dying in the process. I don't want to have Kote go through what I went through, and he's gone through it once already.
I put on my best poker face to answer her.
"No, I don't" Three words, and it was a lie. A big lie that I can't take back.
"I-I see..." I looked over at Zeo's hand and noticed a tiny detail of trembling, and her face becoming gloomy. I slowly reached over to it and softly grabbed. Even though she puts up a front by being free spirited, carefree and lascivious at times, I can tell she really cares about her brother. And she's afraid of what might happen to him if this keeps going on.
"Don't worry Zeo. You have my word, I'm gonna find out the people who are trying to hurt your brother." She smiled slightly as I said that.
"Thanks Huey."
"No problem. Say...uh, you gonna finish that?" I point to her yogurt which his halfway melting down her arm, attempting to brighten the mood.
"*giggles* Why yes I am. I can feed you the creamy part, if you really want it that bad." She said seductively as she took the cup and bended over the table to feed me. I could spot her breasts pressing against the surface of the table
"*sigh* You don't play any games, do you?" I then hear the crowd from earlier starting to gather around us again.
"Did you hear that?! She said he can have it if he wants to! She's gonna give him her cream!"
"Seriously?! Kid's these days have no shame, I'm telling you!"
"I'm still stuck in that outfit though! Where can I get one of those?!"
We both sighed heavily at their nosy conversations. So much for the mood I then whisper in Zeo's ears.
"You, uh...wanna get out of here?"
"Sure! But you're okay on time though right?"
"Of course. The night is still young."
...
We walked down the street for a couple of blocks, pretty much talking the fat about everything. Hobbies, favorite things to eat, favorite movie, genre of music, and the whole nine yards. I was stuck on the fact that we both loved the Wu tang clan and Seinfield on the same level. So awesome. We visited damn near every place of entertainment this place had to offer. There was one of those old mom and pop arcade machines set up around the corner from where we were. And just down the street from their was a wild west shootout gallery, a trampoline park, a RC demolition derby track, dancing machines, and even those 3D puzzle games I used to solve when I used to wait for the former head honcho to come home when I was still a slave. It was hella fun. After about two or three hours of just plain thrill seeking, we decided to calm our systems down by wandering around the town a bit to see the sights.
In the middle of our wandering, we came to a red crosswalk sign. For some reason, there was barely anyone out on the street tonight besides people driving their cars. Something told me this wasn't really walking commute friendly type of town.
"So, what did your girlfriend think about us going on a date tonight?" She asked me.
"My girlfriend? I didn't know I had one." I knew who she was talking about, but I decided to play along.
"You know. The bunny that swears a lot."
"Still not ringing any bells. If you try for the bonus round, you may win a consolation prize."
"Stop teasing! That's me and my sisters thing. I know you know who I'm talking about."
"Oh! Me and Karina? No we're not."
"Really?! I could have sworn you guys were going out."
"No we're not. I just see her as..." It was that moment that I realized, I had absolutely nothing good to say about least something that was welcome in a viable conversation. I then try to think at least one good quality about her. Something that I don't think anyone notices but me. Think stupid! Think!"Someone with really good teeth?" Nailed it!
"Really? Good teeth? That was the best you could come up with?"
"Hey, at least I tried. There probably is something good about her. Deep inside. Deep. Deep. Very, very deep. Like, The Grand Canyon deep. Anyway, she's pretty much just a gal pal at the moment. You know, someone to chew that fat with."
"You mean, kind of like how we're doing?"
"No that's different. We bonded over the great ties of late night yogurt. That's something that can't be easily replaced. From here on out, you and I are branded for life! So says the crevices of the yogurt float! May its glory live on in the hearts of our fellow yogurt goers, now and forever."
"*giggles* You are so crazy."
"I try. Anyway, to answer your question, no she was not okay. She actually threatened to spread my body four different ways while whistling Dixie. After I said I was going anyway, we got into it for a bit."
"Oh my god. Then what happened?"
"It went on for a good ten minutes, and then I stuck her with a dosage of highly potent morphine that was sitting near my lamp in her arm as she gave me a clothesline. My neck still kinda hurts from it."
"Really? Do you think she's alright?"
"She's taken bigger hits than that. But I tell you what, she's gonna be pissed when she gets up! Hahaha. Which should be in about...five more minutes. Well, life was as good while it lasted. Now that I think about, why did you bring her up all of a sudden?"
"I dunno. It's just when we were at school, you guys were usually together."
"Yeah. Usually nagging me about everything. 'Make sure to zip up your pants when you take a shit, remember to brush your teeth with anything except Crest, remember to separate whites from colors neatly, remember to use protection.' This, that, and the third."
"Maybe she really cares about you?"
"I've gotten that impression on several occasions, believe me."
"But have you seriously never thought about you and her? Not even once?"
Well, now that she mentions it.
"Maybe. Possibly. If our lives were a little different, I might, but I just can't see it happening right now with everything going on."
"Is that how you really feel?"
"As of right now? Yeah." I get the feeling it goes a lot deeper than that, but since after all we've been through...I can't...at least not right now. But there is one thing I can think about."But as for what I feel about you? That's an entirely different story."
"Oh? And just how do you feel about me?"
"That depends on how this night ends. Why ruin the surprise now?"
"Fufufu. Well in that case..." She then starts to slowly bat her eyes at me. Eyelashes and all. "Why don't we make your opinion a bit easier to reveal?" Annndd, here we go. 'This is it girl! Time to work your magic!' I swear, my days could go by so much easier if people thought out loud like this chick. But, there's something behind it all. I almost on top of finding it.
"I'd imagine you have some ideas about that then?"
"One or two."
"I like that line of thinking..." I said with a coy face. The crosswalk signal changed, it was our light to walk. We made our way down in a strip mall that was blazing with a dozen neon signs and lights, and crowds around us as far as the eye could see. I felt a bit uneasy, but I was focused on Zeo the whole time, so my anxiety didn't get to me that much.
"So...what's the deal with your family. I mean, Kote kind of gave me a synopsis on how he came to live with you guys, but what's your side of the story?"
She put her finger on her cheek thinking, as we stood there waiting for the light to change.
"Well, my mom, my sister, and I orginally lived in South America. I was still a baby when we moved over to Europe."
"South America? If I remember correctly, there's a native wolf tribe there, right? Somewhere in the Brazilian forest. Ellen told me she used to live there as child when Kote's mother's family adopted her."
"That's right! and mom grew up together in the same tribe. But to be honest, I never really knew much about her. Mom never talked about her around me and Carly growing up. Something about how she wanted to 'smack the smug bitch in the face with a shovel, and stick her in a shit filled ditch wearing nothing but a thong!' She was really specific about it."
"You don't say..."
"Anyway, I don't really remember much about life living there. I do remember there was a certain smell to the area that really made me weird. Like I had some sort mystical powers deep in me or something."
"Lean will do that you..."
"What?"
"Nothing! Anyway, what made you guys move?"
"There was apparently an incident within the tribe. Our village was heavily isolated from society, and the previous chieftain wanted everyone of the members to go out and explore the world. But the village elder were completely against it. Saying that we shouldn't break tradition for the sake of some naive emotion such as curiosity of our 's crazy is that the majority of the tribe members agreed with the elder, since none of them had any desire to explore outside. The village was their whole world, so why would they want to leave it. But my mother was one of the few people that was against the elder's opinion, since she was married to a wolf from outside of the tribe, which was actually against the rules where we were. Add to the fact that she also had us in secret, which made it ten times worse. They actually threatened to kill us for breaking those rules."
"So what happened then?"
"My mom decided she had enough of the tribe's bullshit and challenged the whole tribe to an OTempestatum Machi"
"An 'Otempestatum Machi'. 'A battle of endless storms'."
"Hey, yeah! I didn't know you spoke Latin!"
"I speak 12 other languages, but that's besides the point. So your mother basically challenged the whole tribe to a gladiator match? Aren't women the minority there?"
"Hey, my mom's no slouch you know. One time, these old slezeball touched her ass and pretended he did nothing wrong. She upper cut his ass so hard into the sky, he broke through the ionosphere twice. 400 guys were no big wup to her."
"Four hundred? That's...pretty darn impressive." Ellen has actually taken out more dudes than that at one point, but...I don't think Zeo knows that...Best to keep quiet about that..."Anyway, so she won, right?"
"Fuck yeah she did! She kicked their asses in an hour using two practice swords, and she hardly broke a sweat!"
"I thought you said you were a baby when you guys left."
"I may dramatized some parts."
"I see. Continue."
"So how it goes is that the winner of an Otempestatum Machi, gets to have any wish they want, and the rest of the tribe has to abide by it. No questions asked. So she, requested to leave the tribe with me and my sister, and live in peace without them pressuring us about returning. She told me it was hard on her. Leaving the only home she ever knew. And seeing the elder's drowned totally angry didn't help either for laughs."
"Sounds like her and the elder were really close."
"They should be. The elder was her grandfather."
I raised my eyebrows in slight surprise.
"Her grandfather, huh?"
"You don't sound too surprised about that."
"Ellen told me that there was some weird juice that most members of wolf tribes drink when they're a certain age. They're supposed to give you enhanced vitality, strength, physical capability. The whole nine yards."
" told you a lot about the wolf tribe huh?"
I smirked.
"You'd be surprised how chatty she gets when she's drunk."
"I think I know exactly what you mean..."
"So what happened to her father?"
"He died before I was born actually, so I never knew him. Mom told me that died fighting in some war years back. So I don't know what happened to him exactly."
Something lit up in the back of my head. Even though she didn't say it, I knew exactly what she meant. The Zexion War. Even though it's only the second time I've heard it mentioned, it still strikes me as something bad. I've heard the other me talk about it before, but I thought that was fought over a thousand years ago! What the hell could this mean? Does that mean there were others fought over the years? Did it last even longer than it was said to last? I have questions that I'm creating answers for, but that's one that's managed to slip by me know for a while. At this point, I feel like someone is just making this harder for me to grasp.
"Huey?" I end up coming out of my trance at the sound of Zeo's voice.
"Huh? What's up?"
She then starts puffing up her cheeks again.
"Hmmm, you were doing that again..."
I shook my head, and put on my best smile.
"Sorry sweetheart. I get easily lost when I think."
"Hahaha. I swear, you stay in you mind sometimes."
Tell me about it.
"Anyway, big bro came to live with us after his father kicked the bucket, as I'm sure you know. Before that, his mother and my mother knew each other growing up in the same tribe and all. Plus, she was one of the few members that spoke out against the previous Elder about allowing the members of the clan to venture out into the open world. Since she remembered all of the things she did for her, my mom took him in and raised him as if he were her own son."
"I see. But why did your mom do it? Last I checked, wasn't Ellen adopted by his mother's family? That makes would make her the next of kin to take him in right?"
"Hmmmmm...you got me. I never figured it out either. But I do remember my mom saying something about years ago when me and my sister were kids. Something about her being a traitor to the tribe, and about her almost killing her brother."
"Brother huh?" Now that's a new subject. I didn't know she had a brother, but even if she did, I would assume he's a wolf. But what's all this about being a traitor and all? Strange...
"Oh? Did I get your mind boggling again?"
"Sweetheart, you have no idea."
"Anyway, my mother felt obligated to take Kote in as a favor to his mother. At least that's what I've been able to get out of it. Either way, I was really happy to gain a big brother. Even thought he doesn't show it, he's REALLY protective. That's a sign he really cares. Plus he's always great to play around with. And tease."
"I would have never put against you."
"He has like, the best look on his face whenever I flash him my boobs or my pussy in front of him."
"Really?" I say with interest.
"He does like this stretchy with his cheeks that make him look like a spoiled mango. It's so funny. I've been doing it to him ever since he moved in with us."
"I would imagine he's used to it by now. The strechiness of his face on the sight of that must be in the hospess. It's so great to know this information."
"I entrust you with the secret to this..."
"I accept with full responsibility your cuck holdness. Hahaha."
"Hey!"She said while playfully punching my arm.
"Sorry! Couldn't resist. So! Where to next milady?"
She pondered for a bit, before answering.
"There's a place I really want to you see. I found it last time when I was out here with Carly. You got time to spare right?"
"Of course. Ellen and the others are off on a mission, so they're not on base. Lead the way, hot stuff."
...
We made our way to a small lookout up on a abandoned terrace a little ways outside the shopping vicinity. Zeo told me she had found it trying to find different spots Kote and the family could go to together.
"Wow, this view is incredible." I said while looking out on the view of the whole town. The shining white lights beamed in my eyes, and the breeze flowed through my fur and hair. I stretched a little to relax and then sat on one of the nearby benches and closed my eyes. I could hear everything from this high up. The summer bugs cricketing, the noise and rumble of the streets below, even the wind itself. It was nice. "This place is great. You were right about it."
Zeo even sat down next to me.
"Told ya!"
We sat together for a few minutesShe started to tap me on my nose which made my body jolt forward a bit. I looked at her with a WTF face.
"Sorry! I thought you were dead!" She said childishly.
"You did huh? How's 'bout I!" I then grabbed her around her shoulder and start tickling her rib cage.
"Ah! No! Heheh! Haha! Stop!" She tried to resist the tickle monster to her best efforts but to no avail."Seriously! Stop, I'm ticklish!"
"I know! That's why I'm doing it!" All of a sudden, she then came back with a counter of her own by poking a part of my right side. My whole body and tail jumped up. "Hey! That's not fair! That's my weak spot!"
"Haha! You started it!"
"You little!" We both engaged each other in a no holds barred tickle fight. The battle went on for a good five minutes, hours it seemed. Neither of us were giving an inch as we rolled off the bench and onto the grass, laughing and giggling the whole time. Part of me wanted to continue doing this forever, without any regards to what was going on with the world right now. As the battle was wrapping up, I exhausted the last of my energy, and she then found the opportunity to mount me in victory.
"I win." She declared out breath.
"Only because I let you!"
"Sounds like a personal problem!" We both just started laughing and smiling that whole time. It's like we knew each other our whole lives, and we were just spending it doing what normal kids did. Having a good time. That was what I got out of it anyway, despite the whole mounted thing.
Then we were there for a while. Staring at each other in the eyes. Waiting for the other to make a move of any kind.
"Hey, Huey." She said.
"Hmm?
"I just wanted to thank you."
"For what?"
"For saving my brother, and basically trying to help me through him being in the state that he is. Me and my family owe you a lot."
"Oh, it's nothing. He's my friend. And I would have done it even if you hadn't asked me."
"Oh...I see." I suddenly heard a slight tremor in her voice."Just do it already! You owe him that much right?! Do it!" No. "You know...I haven't actually re-payed you for rescuing him yet." No."I can do this, I can do this, I can do this. Just calm down and muscle your way through. He's been looking at you all night right? He can't resist you. He wants to fuck you. He wants to tear your clothes off and have his way with you as payment right?! I have to pay him back right?" Not like this."If you want..." She then starts to undress on top of me. Her top slowly starts to come off. Her perky breasts plop up and down as the clothe slides up against her fur. They stare right at me. Luscious and ripe as they stay nestled in her revealing, yet stylish pink bra. But not yet touched. "...you can..."
She then grabs my hand and puts it against her chest. My face remains expressionless as she buries my hands in her mounds. They feel exquisite, and had the exact sensation that I thought they would have. I could feel the rough and hard touch of her nipples poking through her bra. Her crotch felt warm, and her gasp of her voice traveled out as my hand sunk deeper in her breasts. This is what I wanted right? But like this...
"You can do this...Just don't tell him it's your first time. He'll understand. It's all for what he did for me. I owe him that much!" I closed my eyes, and tried to think I was listening to someone else speak, but every time I opened them, it was Zeo again. Staring at me with those huge eyes on the verge of tears, her trembling hands, and the hesitation in her voice that gave the feelings of disappointment in her. That fact that she sees me this way.
I then leaned up from my laying position and pulled my hand away from hers. I gently pushed her off of me, and dressed her back in her pretty shirt and dusted off the tiny grass pieces that got caught in the cloth, and stood up. She looked at me with unsure and afraid eyes. Not afraid of what was going to happen, but afraid of what she wasn't able to do. For the sake of her brother.
"B-but why?"
I sighed and turned to her, offering her a hand up.
"Zeo. I'm not the person you think I am. Despite the impression I give, I seek the mutual feelings of the person I'm with, be they friends or a sweet lay. But, I don't want to be given a connection given out of some kind of obligation for a favor or just out of the heat of the moment. That's the worst thing anybody can do for anybody. When we went out tonight, I could hardly believe any of it was real. The things we did. I never thought in my life I could do something a kid like me was able to do. But when I come to find out it was all just something that was owed to me out of something I would have done anyway. That's even more unbelievable. That you would use me like that, and that you even saw me as that type of person."
"Are you mad?" She asked me as she took my hand and gently stood herself up."
"I'm not actually. In fact my balls couldn't anymore bluer right now. But I know what all of this stems from. Your brother is one of the first people ever that I've managed to actually make a friend out of, and is able to accept who I am regardless of anything else. And I know that you care that much about him, even if you show it in the weirdest ways. But you don't have to go this far, for him. To risk your first time for your brother's friend is kind of based in my eyes."
"How did you know that I'm still a virgin?"
"I can kind of sense these things." I said with my nose held up in the air.
"What the? That's so stupid..."She said lightly giggling, trying to hide her tears."Actually, I'm the one that feels stupid about the whole thing. I just thought that..."
"You really love your brother, don't you?" She nodded."I envy that kind of devotion. I don't even have any siblings, and the ones that I could call that, they're all dead, and the person that I looked up to is gone as well. And the only person that's related to me wants to either kill me,use me, or some weird combination of the two. I don't have that many people that I can lean on I'm afraid." Then I put back on my smile. "At least that's how I used to think. I'm not so much alone now. I got people that won't shut up about what's going on with me, and if I'm alright or not, and nagging at me to do stuff."
"Like Karina?"
I shook my head and chuckled.
"Yes. Like Karina. And you too Zeo."
"Me?"
"Yeah. You should me how I should be living, despite what's going on with everything. And I don't know how I can ever repay you for that."
"*giggles* I can think of a few ways."
"*sigh* Can we please not start this again? I'm blue balled enough as it is."
We both started laughing off the awkwardness of the mood that I seemed to generate over this whole thing
It then suddenly occurred to me at that moment, was this really the right move?
Zeo. She is a great girl. Cute. Spunky, smart, not bad in a fight either. A tease, but in a good way. But she's my friend's sister. Why would ever want to intrude on that kind of relationship for the sake of what I want? Is it really the right thing? I could definitely see myself doing this again with her, but I would want to do it as friends, first and foremost. Yeah. That makes sense.
"Sooo, what do you wanna do now?" I asked her while stretching out my arms. "Because I'm really itching to try out that burger joint that we passed by on our way here."
"If it's alright, can we go visit my brother? I've been talking about him all night, I might as well go see him."
"As long as he doesn't need to know what happened a few minutes ago, I'm game." I really don't want to add the topic' I almost fucked your sister' to our conversation circle.
Meanwhile...
Base-Detention Center
Kaos sat in her corner, biting her nails in anxiety. Mouth clammed shut, and unable to speak her mind about her experience. The torture in her mind that she had to live through in the interrogation. It was enough to drive her insane to utmost maximum. Zana sat on her bed sprawled and looking at the ceiling. She constantly gave brief looks at the hyena guard that was making his rounds guarding their cell, and the black dog guard that was keeping watch of the door to the mess hall near his desk, but nothing too major to let them know that she was watching them, doing minor observations such as taking in the times he's walked by the cell, the number of footsteps he took, and the number of times the one sitting at the table drank his black flavored coffee.
"*yawns* I'm so fucking bored dude." Said the hyena guard.
"Tell me about it. I signed up to be stationed here thinking that I would get into those spats the Boss was laying down in those meetings. What I wouldn't give to be in Happy Garland at the time. I would have gotten some real action." The black dog guard said while taking a sip.
"I'll tell whose getting some real action. The Blades. They're always doing some next level mission that you need like top level access to even know about."
"Tell me about it. My cousin was part of the PMC that they together with in Burma. He said he was totally blown away. Monsters he called 'em."
"No shit?"
"Yeah man. One of them was able to fuck up tank by square punching it in the front part, another one took down like 50 of the enemy soldiers in under a minute with a single survival knife, and one of them does some freaky illusion shit. Like one minute he's in one place, and in the blink on an eye he's somehwhere else, and he has like this badass guitar looking weapon. I think he wears goggles."
"Oh yeah, The Fourth Blade right? My girl is a huge fan of him."
"Seriously?" The black dog started to snort from holding in his laughter.
"Yeah. She has posters of him in her room, fanart, plus I think she has his autograph on one of her T-shirts? I wonder when she got that?"
"Gee. I wonder that myself..." He shook his head.
"Wait, what are you trying to say?!"
"Just think about it for a second. It'll come to you.*cough*fucking idiot*cough*"
"Anyway. So can we meet them at all? I always wanted meet the Tenth Blade. He's practically a celebrity back home in Baton Rouge."
"I doubt it. They just left the base a few hours ago for some meeting or whatever in D.C. They probably won't be back for a few days at best."
Zana's eyes lit up as soon as she heard this piece of info, and had already began formulating a plan of escape in her head. The only thing holding her back was...
"How much longer are you gonna be like this?" Zana asked to a sulking Kaos, to which gave no reply. "You've found Huey, your promised one, and he's still the same as he used to be. I figured you would be jumping for joy."
"But he doesn't remember me..." She muttered under her breath.
"So what if he doesn't remember you? That means that he just recently awakened. Eventually, his memories will return."
"Eventually?" Kaos emphasized that word in her mind. It continued to echo in her thoughts."Eventually?Eventually?!" In that moment, Kaos had pressed Zana against the wall with blinding speed and great strength that the wall behind her began to crack, and extend to the ceiling."What makes you think I have time to wait around for, 'eventually'?! I want him to return, NOW!"Kaos screamed at her half sister, only receiving her nonchalant face as a response. "Do not mistake my melancholy for weakness, sister. I could do away with you any moment that I please!"
The guards had begun to take notice at the commotion going on in the cell.
"Hey! Quiet down in there before I call for backup!" The two had completely shut him out.
"Don't bother warning them! The Boss said if they raised another ruckus, discipline them in any way we see fit. Go get the guys in the mess. It's time we set these little bitches straight." The hyena guard walking by the cell went to the mess hall to get more back up, leaving the other to watch over the two.
"Then what's stopping you?" She said disinterested."I've been ready to die for years now. Threats from you make no difference in the feeling."
"Because, father still sees you as a disposable tool. As do I for that matter, but I will not have you checking my stability for something that has nothing to do with you."
"You're right about that. It does have nothing do with me. I never asked to be part of your lunatic family at all."
"Nor did I request that myself, so the feeling is mutual! As for Huey, I will not give up on him, but I will not sit here in this rotten, grotesque cell, waiting for 'eventually' to happen! My father has already given up on me as it is. There's is no one left in this world that I still hold dear, none except him. He's my only means to still remaining stable in this disgusting world. Without him, I would surely kill every living person I would come across, to fill that empty void."
"Without him huh? That makes sense, since you were so eager to reveal to him vital information yesterday."
"What was I supposed to do?! I thought he was going to kill himself!" Kaos said all flustered.
"That's what you were worried about?" Zana sighed.
"Besides! I didn't reveal as much as you're implying sister! I simply said they are more groups than Trexwell out there, and they will most likely be coming back for them again."
"So you're saying, giving away the possibility that other groups of people will be coming back to attack him and his friends isn't vital?"
"If I really wanted to give away vital information, I would have told him that they're already mobilizing overseas to find the First. Although I suspect it's only a matter of time before my Huey finds out. He's always been resourceful." Kaos says as she swoons with flushed red cheeks.
"Gimme a break."
"But I cannot sit here forever! We've already passed the time Father expected us to come back. No doubt he's given up on us, by now. But this is one place I will not stand to be in any longer!"
"So what do you intend to do about it?"
As soon as Zana said that, one of the guards had come back, but with three more armed guards. One of them opened up the door with his keys, and they all came in the cell, all with nightsticks in hand.
"Alright, we've had it with you princesses trying to yap on through the night,this is the fifth night in a row you've done this! It's clear you girls don't know how the shut the fuck up, so it likes we're gonna have to do it for you."
Kaos took one hand off of Zana and put it to her chest so the guards wouldn't see it. It started to shake and tense up slightly as she focused her energy into her palm. Slowly, a black swirl of embers started to build up in her hands as they floated around her fingers.
"To answer your question sister, I'll do...THIS!"
She threw the embers down to the floor near the guards feet. They exploded in random bunches around them.
"W-What the hell is this?!"
"F-f-fire! FIRE!" The guards all screamed out in pain, as the tiny ember flames began to eat away through their clothing, and pretty soon their fur. They all jumped around helplessly to try and get the flames off, but it did not cease. As they were distracted, Kaos had nodded to Zana, and they both sprung into action, grabbing nightsticks from two of the guards. Kaos had taken down two of the guards by striking both of them in skull with great force, killing them instantly, and drove the stick through another one's chest cavity, leaving splatters of blood and bone on the stick and over the walls of the cell.
Zana took her stick and barred it against the fourth guard's neck and twisted it in a full circle, with the upper part of his spine snapping fully clean, and she then impaled through the top part of his skull with the end part of the stick coming out of his mouth, knocking out several teeth, and drowning his mouth and throat with his own blood.
The last guard, which was the hyena guard that got the others in the first place, had attempted to fight back despite still being inflamed.
"Oh please." Kaos scoffed, and she then drove her fist through the left side of his torso around the chest area, grabbing his heart and the process, and letting her embers run wild in his insides. His body quickly got caught in a sea of black misty flames. Pretty soon, there was nothing but ash as remains of his body.
The two had looked around their cell, admiring the work they had done, with the ugly corpses of their former watchman splattered all around them, laid out in guts and gore that created a rather foul smell that was mixed with sinew and ash.
Kaos lightly stretched while calmly walking past all of the dead bodies through the cell's exit.
"Hmmm...that was an excellent warm up to my warm up. By the way sister? Were you just using my connection to Huey to spark an opportunity for us to escape?"
Zana looked back at the inquiring Kaos, with her usual unattached expression.
"So what if I did?"
Kaos turned around and giggled slightly.
"Oh nothing. I've just added another reason that I'll kill that again, and your so called desired death, will come sooner than you think."
"Whatever..."
The two Pure-types walked through the detention cell exit, ready to start their prison break, and with the Blades off base, there was doubt that destruction was inevitable.
Meanwhile...
Mercy Hospital
Huey and Zeo walked up to the entrance of the hospital, eager to visit the comatose Kote. Zeo looked at the time on her phone.
"Man, it's going on 11 already..."
"Really? Don't you have like a curfew or something?"
"Nah. Mom knows I can watch my back, besides, that's what I got you here for right?"
"Good point."
They made their way through the doors, where the lobby had been completely empty. No nurses, patients. Visiting hours were over about hour ago, but this being a government owned hospital, and Kote being on its treatment list, and person who had a family relationship, had a special pass that allows them passage to the room.
"Weird. There's nobody here."
"Hmm..." Huey had put his finger on his chin, trying to assess the whole situation as it's happening right now.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know why...but I get this weird feeling. It's making my tail itch."
"Really? Who says that anymore?"
"I dunno. Maybe you would think that-"
"Wait!" Zeo had halted Huey in the middle of his sentence. Her nose had suddenly tensed up. She begin to sniff around the residential area.
"What is it? You smell something boy?"
"Shut up. I smelling something weird. It's familiar, but its not at the same time."
"Can I help you two children?"Out of the dark they heard a rather sultry voice sound off , footsteps echoed throughout the hallway as they drew closer to the two, putting them on guard. Pretty soon, a rather ambiguous looking mouse with with auburn hair and glasses dressed in a neat nurses outfit. As soon as they saw her, Huey and Zeo relaxed the guard just a bit."Is there any reason you're here in the hospital this late at night?"
"Ummm...we're here to see my brother? He's a comatose patient. His name is Kote Valentine."
"Yess, that's nice. But if you hadn't noticed the sign on the way in, visiting hours are over. I'm gonna have to ask you to leave miss." The nurse said with an attitude. Zeo clicked her teeth, and drew out a silver card with a government seal on the upper left corner.
"Shows what you know! I have a pass here that lets me see him whenever I want. Visiting hours or not. "
The nurse adjusted her glasses as she carefully examined the card.
"Do you have some form of ID to match this claim?"
"ID? What do I need to show you that for?! Do you think everyone walks around holding these things?! It's personally been stamped by government secretary!"
"Be that as it may, that enough reason to check if it is legitimate. It's the policy miss."
"Policy, my sweet ass! Where's ? He knows me and my sister visit my brother everyday."
"I'm afraid he's gone home for the night. There's only couple off duty nurses here right now, and I'm the adviser for all of them for this shift. Besides, all of our patients are asleep, so there's no way I can let you disturb their rest."
"We're not gonna disturb anybody, we're just here to see my brother! Besides, he's in a fucking coma. There's no way it can get any worse than it is."
"Personally, I don't care if he's a vegetable. You're not getting in. End of story miss."
"Do you treat all of your visitors this way?"
"Only the ones that deserve it. Now, if you please."
Zeo turned around grumbling under her breath as she stomped off to the exit.
"C'mon Huey! Let's get out of here, before I show this bitch the plicy of my foot in her sweet walls! *grumbles* Policy this..."
Huey, who had been listening in silence this whole time, taking in all of the information of the conversation, slowly turned around to the exit with Zeo.
"I'm coming." He then stopped in his tracks. "By the way, what's your name cutie?" He asked the nurse with a coy face.
"Really?! I'm standing right here though!" Zeo snapped at him.
"Why do you need to know that if I may ask?"
"Force of habit. I always try to introduce myself whenever I see a...gorgeous specimen such as yourself." He lifted the nurses chin gently with the touch of his fingers. "I just put it upon myself to perform such a common courtesy. For starters, my name is Huey. Yours?"
The nurse remained silent for a few seconds before responding.
"Mia. Mia Nelson."
"Mia huh? A beautiful name to match a beautiful girl."
"I'm a man."
"Even better. That doesn't slow me down none. Anyway, it was a pleasure making your acquantince. Be sure to give a holler at Freddie Riggs for me, will ya He's a works here as a janitor. He's a great guy. We always talked about kung fu movies whenever he was on his break. Be sure to give him a heads up, okay?"Huey turned around and continued to walk to the exit.
"Right, I'll be sure to give him my best."
At that moment, Huey stopped once more and turned around to face Mia. This time with a more stern expression.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"What do you mean? I just told you. Or are you trying to be funny?"
"When did you start working here?"
"A little over a month ago. Why?"
"Her brother, a patient, was admitted here in this hospital about two weeks ago. Since then, her, her older sister, and their mother have come to visit him every single day until visiting hours ended, so all of the staff here is bound to recognize them on sight at this point. But you claim to have been here for a month, yet you didn't recognize Zeo on sight. Why is that?"
"Well...that's because I'm often performing different shifts, so I won't always have time to meet all of the patients or their visitors."Mia said flustered.
"Don't bullshit me. This is a 24-hour service hospital, so all of the nurses shifts are bound to intersect at some point. Sometimes, the board doesn't just assign one nurse to a single patient, but multiple ones, and even have other nurses cover for them at times. Two weeks is more than enough time to be assigned to watch one patient that wasn't initially, and to get to know their visitors. Plus this is a small staffed hospital, so there can only be so much to handle for the staff, before others start to pick up the slack, right? "
"Be that as it may, I've never been assigned to look after Kote Valentine. I'm only here three times a week."
"I never said you had to be assigned to him to know who he is. He's a comatose patient. Wouldn't it be normal for all of the nurses and doctors to be familiar with that type of patient, god forbid something happens to him, and the doctor or nurse assigned to him isn't there. Besides, all of you nurses keep a register file of all of the patients in the hospital, to know who's supposed to administered for what medicine, and when they have a special rehab planned. There should be one in the lounge right?"
"Just what are you getting at?! That I'm an impostor of some sort?! I am a registered nurse at this establishment! I know every single employee here, and every single policy that this hospital adheres to, from top to bottom! There's is literally nothing you can doubt me on little boy!"
"You know everyone huh? So you know my man, Freddie Riggs right?"
"Of course! I've met him on several occasions in the break room. He is indeed a janitor. He's in his late 30's, and has been working here for years! He knows just as much about this place as I do, and I've only been here for a month!"
Huey then started to chuckle, and then put on a dastardly smirk.
"Hey Mia. Can I be honest with you?"
"W-what?" He said as slight droplets of sweat ran down.
"Just so you know. I have never set foot in this hospital before. I was in the hospital myself for a few weeks, until I was discharged this morning. Everything that I had pointed about this place were only assumptions and logical deductions. But I think you know less about this place than me. Take Freddie for example. I know he doesn't exist. At least, not here anyway"
"Hmph, if you've never been to this hospital, how can you claim to say he doesn't work here?!"
"Oh I know a Freddie Riggs, alright." Huey paused. "But who said he worked at this hospital?"'Mia's' eyes then shot open at the conclusion Huey arrived at, and let his face hang down. Then all of a sudden, a tiny beep had went off behind the reception desk."There isn't even a Mia Nelson is there? Care to explain what you plan on doing with my friend there, pretty boy?"
"Well played"
Huey quickly connected what was going to happen.
"ZEO! WATCH OUT!" He quickly grabbed Zeo by hand and rushed out through the exit. Within a few seconds,a loud explosion was cast off in the entrance area. The glass windows all around the area had blown out from the pressure, and deafening blows sounded off like fireworks every few seconds. The force was so great that it knocked over Huey and Zeo just seconds after they barely made it through to the exit.
They lied there on the ground, covered in pieces of debris and dirt. The scene behind them was scorched and blown to oblivion, with flames roaring all around the former semblance of the entrance to of Mercy hospital.
"What the hell was that?!" Zeo shouted out as the deafness in her eyes was still blaring."Oh my god! BRO!"
Huey stood Zeo up as she cried out.
"Don't worry! It was just the entrance! Kote is on the third floor, but we need to get him out of here!"
"How?!"
Huey scanned around to see if there was a point where the flames weren't as strong, and he found one just a few meter diagonally from where they were standing.
"You try and find another entrance to try and get Kote out of here, and somewhere safe!"
"But what about you?!"
"Whoever that was, I'm going after 'em! I can't let them get away!"
As he tried to leave, Zeo stopped him by his hand.
"Will you be okay?!"
Huey then brought her close, and placed his lips over hers, and exhanged a kiss for a few seconds, before releasing her
"I will be now sweetheart!"
He then ran through the port that he found with the weakest flames and rolled through the fire at amazing speed, barely catching on fire on anywhere on his person. He ran through the hallway, trying to track down the fake nurse, checking around every corner for activity. All that was there as far as the eyes can see were the marble white coloring of the walls every time he looked somewhere. It had already been a two minutes since he started looking.
"Oh man. Where the hell could he-? Oh! Duh!" Huey then quieted his mind, and dulled it of any distractions. He was going to attempt to find the fake by tracking his brain waves somewhere on any of the levels. Most likely, he figured that he was still in a state of excitement, and his theta waves were rather high and non-steady. After about a minute of intense searching, he couldn't find anything.
"What the hell? I can't track him? Mental block maybe? Or maybe he can shut off his theta waves temporarily? Who or what the hell is he?"
In that moment, a sudden rush of light zipped past Huey for a microsecond as it tried to go against his face. He was able to dodge by just a millisecond by cartwheeling out the way. The streaks had the detail of sword slashes, but moving so fast they were practically invisible to the untrained eye. Three more slashes came toward Huey at blinding speed, but he was able to maneuver past all of them and got to the center point where they were all coming from. He reached out his hand before another one could be thrown, and successfully grabbed the arm of the attacker "Mia", whose arm was completely transformed into the shape of a sword from the shoulder.
"Wow! You have a sword for an arm?! That's awesome dude!" Huey grinned through the whole struggle between him and "Mia" then grinned as well. Both of them were stuck in a deadlock with roaring flames still going on strong behind them.
"Impressive that you were able to dodge my attacks! You aren't like the others that I've gone up against!"
"You're here for Kote aren't you?! Two of your other buddies tried to do the same thing ya know! And that's gonna happen again!"
"Fool! You understand nothing!"
"Oh I understand plenty! I know what you guys are trying to do! But none of that is gonna make a difference in a minute!"
"Ha! Do you honestly think you can kill me?!"
"I don't know! But won't that be fun to see?!"
The two released themselves from their deadlock and the battle commenced. And on the other side of the town, the two Pure-type prisoners were going to make their bloody escape. This was starting to turn into a night of chaos.
