TA: more, more, more of my lovely fic! And I still don't own anyone but Nikki =P
A week later, as night fell, seven figures gazed over the grounds of the palace of Konan.
"Well, here we are."
"I'm nervous Nik…" Kai-chi was covered with makeup so she looked like a zombie. Nikki grinned at her.
"Everything is gonna be fine."
"I don't think so…" Kai-chi muttered.
"Does anyone else get the feeling we're screwed?" Tsurai asked
"Come on guys, don't you get it?" Nikki protested, trying to raise their spirits.
"What's not to get? We're all gonna die!" Tsunoiya said happily.
"We're gonna do what George Washington did!" Nimue announced.
"Who no da?"
"What do you mean Nimue?"
"We're gonna go down in history…and we're not even born yet!"
"Urusai!" Nikki shouted. The four girls stopped talking and looked at her. Nikki glared at her friends. "Suzaku chose us for a reason…because he knows that we can handle this." She smiled at Chichiri. "I learned that a while back." She faced her friends again. "Are we just gonna let him down?"
The girls fidgeted a bit.
"You're right Nik. We can do this," Nimue agreed. Kai-chi grinned and tossed Tsunoiya the catnip bottle. Tsunoiya meowed happily, hopped off her horse and transformed into one very large tiger, double the size of a normal one. Then she growled t the group, Let's go kick some Seiryuu ass.
~Eight minutes later…~
"I wish you could stay here forever…" Chichiri said. Nikki had just explained to both the men that as soon as the emperor of Kutou was taken out, the girls would be sent back home.
"We all do. Especially Tsurai…and me. Plus…" Nikki tried to word this, "I'd like to see a certain someone's reaction to being a daddy."
"WHAT?!"
"Specifically, Tasuki."
"WHAT?!" Tasuki's turn. Nikki giggled.
"You heard me. Tsurai asked me to tell you."
Tasuki stood blinking for a moment before fainting. As he hit the ground, a voice came over Nikki's walkie talkie that Nimue had whipped up, one for each of the girls.
"How's he taking it?" Tsurai asked. Nikki looked down at Tasuki's unconscious form.
"Rather well…"
"Don't scare me like that!" Chichiri yelled. Nikki giggled again.
"Just wake Tasuki up. One minute."
After 30 seconds of trying the easy way to wake up Tasuki, Nikki shocked him awake.
"Ow…" his hair crackled.
"Ten seconds…" Nikki set the w/t to call everyone. "In five…four…three…two…one…" the next second lasted for minutes it seemed like. "Go!"
"Move, move, move!" Tsurai ordered her zombie creations. Tsunoiya let out a deafening roar. Finally, after so many months, the reclaiming had begun.
In the palace, Kutou soldiers were running, trying to find the quickest way out of the palace.
"What's going on?!" Nakuro yelled, throwing his weapon, which happened to be his hat, at an attacking zombie. The razor sharp edge sliced through the creature, but it kept right on coming.
"It's just like that freak said! Suzaku is getting revenge!" Garme trembled behind Bob. Tyche smacked him, again.
"Let's get to the throne room!"
"What good will that do?"
"JUST DO IT!!"
The group paused and stared as a red convertible being driven by a larger than life tiger zoomed by outside. Nikki, nearing the throne room with her group, sweatdropped.
"I knew she'd use too much catnip…" she muttered as Tsunoiya chased down Kutou soldiers in the car.
Tasuki poked his head into the throne room.
"All clear. Everything's going just as you thought Nik!" he said happily. He heard the sound of screeching tires that was Tsunoiya. "Well, almost everything."
"It's not over yet Tasuki. We've still got the Seiryuu seishi to worry about," Nikki said, stepping into the room. A red cloth hung over her arm. Chichiri was right behind her. He pulled the door shut.
"Now let's finish this battle."
On the throne was draped a blue cloth bearing the image of Seiryuu. Nikki unfolded the cloth she carried. On it was the image of a phoenix, Suzaku.
"This is where it ends…" she whispered, walking slowly towards the throne. Scant feet away from her goal…
"One more step, Nik, and you'll be feeling it."
Nikki paused and smiled to herself. She folded the cloth again and rested it in front of the throne. Then she turned around. Tyche, Garme, Nakuro, and Bob stood between them and the door.
"Tyche. I've been waiting to see you face to face," Nikki grinned, her usual happy self. Chichiri looked at her oddly.
"I should've known you were behind this whole thing Nikki. You were always one to cover all the corners."
"I'll take that as a compliment." Nikki called over the w/t to everyone else, "Drop everything. Everyone in the throne room, back door, ASAP."
"Right."
"Gotcha."
"Roger that."
"Mrow!"
"Dammit where are those other fools?!" Tyche shouted. "Nakuro, go find them!"
"But…the…the zombies…"
"I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO BE SCARED OF!!"
He was out the door in seconds. Following his departure, a tiger crept up behind Tasuki, appearing from the back of the room. Garme's eyes widened.
"The…thethethe…" he stuttered, pointing behind Tasuki. The eyes of everyone on the Seiryuu side widened.
"What the fuck are you trying to say?"
"THE TIGER DEMON!"
Tsunoiya growled and walked up beside Nikki.
The others are coming.
"Good…" Nikki looked up at their opponents as she rested a hand on Tsunoiya's head. She purred. "Good…"
Nakuro ran back in a second later, followed by Ashitare and the Boshi twins.
"Grab her!" Nikki yelled. All three of the Suzaku seishi grabbed onto Tsunoiya as she tried to leap at Suboshi. They got her just in time.
"Not…now…Bad kitty!"
Tsunoiya morphed back to human and pouted. "Let me have my fun." Garme started to drool as Kai-chi, Tsurai, and Nimue ran in through the back door.
"Geez Nik, can't even control your own seishi."
"You wanna deal with her?" Nikki asked, still restraining Tsunoiya. "We'll let go."
"You wouldn't dare…" Bob said. His symbol flared on his forehead.
"Bob? You're seishi symbol is bob?" Nimue tried not to laugh as Bob stood tall.
"Bob, hat, flirt, and dog. Those are our symbols." Nimue snorted into laughter. Tsurai joined in. Nikki snickered.
"Seiryuu didn't spend much time on you four."
"He's a busy god."
"Enough talk. Let's go," Tyche readied a ball of black energy. "Nik, you're mine."
"Tyche…?" Nikki whispered.
"Just put up or I'll shut you up."
Nikki hesitated. Then her eyes narrowed. She formed a ball of fire in her hands.
"Alright Tyche…you give me no choice."
Tsunoiya remorphed into a tiger. Some of the catnip landed on her tail. As she morphed into a tiger , the smell became very strong, and she began to chase her tail happily. Nimue took the bottle of cat-nip and smacked Tsunoiya with it. She growled then flicked the catnip off her tail.
That hurt Nimue…
"Forget it. You know what to do."
Nikki and Tyche still stood, daring one another to make the first move. It was Tsunoiya, though, who pounced, leading into the final battle.
