Alrighty, then. Here's Chapter 3. The 7th chapter for Sora Takenouchi Reborn should be up soon (if all goes well), so please be patient. I don't really remember where Mimi lives in America. If anyone reading now knows where Mimi lives please tell me. It'll help me a lot. Also, can someone please explain to me about Kari's mysterious powers? I have a very vague memory of it. I want to try mix this into the story. Thanks.
Chapter 3
Strange Visitor
'Perfect organism.' Ian Holm in 'Alien'.
America……
"Hello? Dr. Thurman?" Mimi said as she knocked on the door that led into the science lab of her school. She peeked her head into the room and almost screamed as she saw her biology teacher Dr. Thurman observing a giant egg cocoon on a table. Mimi had never seen a cocoon that large before, it was just gigantic. Green slime surrounded the egg and it had a leathery covering. Mimi saw something inside the egg moving. She was speechless.
"Oh, hi, Mimi. How are you?" said Dr. Thurman. Mimi didn't answer, "Ha, ha. I know. It's pretty creepy, isn't it? These things are springing up everywhere in every continent. It's on every news headline, along with those mysterious murders going on as well."
"Doctor, what is this thing?" asked Mimi. Dr. Thurman shrugged.
"I still need to do research with it. But I find this thing very interesting. It's definitely something I haven't come across before." Dr. Thurman continued to observe the egg cocoon. Mimi looked with him. She looked in amazement as she looked at the thing that was present inside of the egg. Neither she nor Dr. Thurman knew what it was, "My God." He said.
"What do you think it is?" said Mimi.
"I'm not sure, Mimi. It looks like some sort of…..giant arachnid." The doctor replied, "Anyway, what is it you came here for, Mimi?"
"Oh, yeah. I just wanted to ask you if……." Mimi paused in shock as she saw the egg cocoon slowly open.
"Be quiet, Mimi. You might scare away our newborn organism." Said Dr. Thurman softly as he slowly putting his finger to her lips. Mimi stayed silent as Dr. Thurman smiled and lowered his head slowly into the egg.
Minutes later……..
"Come on. One more, just one more." Michael was just about to complete the last question on his math test. Until somebody, without knocking, stormed into the room in complete panic. Everyone in the room, including the teacher jumped as Mimi dashed and stopped in front of the class.
"You have to help Dr. Thurman! HURRY!!!!!!" she shouted.
"Mimi, what's wrong?" said the math teacher.
"You have to see it for yourself……there's this…….thing on his head! And it won't come off of Dr. Thurman's face! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!!!!!!" cried Mimi. The children and the math teacher went out of the room and Mimi led them to the science lab. Everyone gasped as they saw the creature attached onto Dr. Thurman's face. Michael saw that the creature on Thurman's face had its tali wrapped round his neck. Michael tried to take the creature off of Thurman's face, but even as he touched it, the creature's tail began to wrap round Thurman's neck even more.
"CALL THE AMBULANCE!!!!" shouted the math teacher.
Hours later…..
10:00 p.m. …………..
Hospital……..
"Uh….what happened?" said Dr. Thurman as he got up from his bed. Mimi, Michael and a female doctor were in the room.
"Good evening, Dr. Thurman. My name's Dr. Xiao." The female doctor said.
"Where am I?" Thurman said.
"You're in hospital, Dr. Thurman." Said Mimi.
"Mimi……Michael……what am I doing here?" he said. Dr. Xiao. Lifted up the dead creature that used to be on Thurman's face with her hands.
"This thing was on your face. We were able to remove it from you when it just died on your face. Before we removed this thing, though, I took a few x-rays and discovered something inside your body. I believe that the creature was just supplying you with oxygen, it's nothing you should worry about. How are you feeling?" said Dr. Xiao.
"How are you, Dr. Thurman?" asked Michael.
"Are you okay?" said Mimi.
"Hungry." replied Thurman. Dr. Xiao chuckled.
"Alright. But first you need to rest." After that, Mimi, Michael and Dr. Xiao left the room.
"How long do you think Dr. Thurman's going to be in hospital for?" asked Mimi.
"Oh, he'll be fine by tomorrow. Don't worry. You kids just go back home. I need to do some research on our little dead friend here." Said Dr. Xiao. And without fuss, Mimi and Michael left the hospital and walked back home, wondering what that thing that tried to attack Dr. Thurman was. Little did they know of the invisible creature stalking them both.
Colorado…………
Willis was walking home from school with Terriermon.
"Willis, what's the matter? You don't look so happy." Said Terriermon.
"It's just those weird murders and the strange eggs being found………they're just bugging me. I can't stop thinking about them. I just fear something's wrong." Willis said, "Hey, what's this?" Willis bent down on the pavement to pick up something.
"What is it, Willis?" asked Terriermon.
"It looks like……..shedded skin." Said Willis.
"Don't snakes shed their skin, Willis?" said Terriermon.
"Yeah, I know. But I've never seen shedded skin like this before. Maybe I should go talk to Izzy about this and show it to him." Willis and Terriermon took no notice at all of the scorpion xenomorph crawling up the building wall from behind them, "It's getting cold and dark, Terriermon. Let's go back home and we can talk more about this there."
"Right" replied Terriermon. The two continued to walk back home.
Odaiba……..
"Go, Tai!" shouted Sora as she, Izzy and Matt watched Tai playing in the finals of a soccer match. The crowd cheered loudly for Tai's team. It was the last minute and the scores were 1-1. All the seats were filled up for this game, it was never this crowded before. Tai played out of the filed with all his might. But he had no idea of the single silent invisible figure watching him from a high tree in the shadows of the leaves. At the last ten seconds of the game, Tai managed to score one last goal for his team, making the scores 2-1. The crowd went wild as the announcer said:
"Tai's team is the champion!"
"Champion……" said the creature in the tree softly.
As Sora cheered for Tai, she looked to her right and saw Mr. Fuji talking with a man with brown hair, wearing black gloves, a brown trench coat, black sunglasses and a scarf. Sora knew at that moment that he looked kind of suspicious. Sora looked at the two talking to each other. Mr. Fuji gave no big reaction to the stranger's appearance. A few minutes later the stranger left. Sora went her way through the crowd and tried to follow the starnger. She knew that something wasn't right. Mr. Fuji never got strange encounters by anybody. So why this time? Sora ran out into the streets of Odaiba, still following the man. And the invisible creature that saw her yesterday after the tennis match continued to follow Sora through the streets as well. The man in the trench coat knew that he was being followed. He quickly dashed into the subway in the most cunning manner. Sora lost sight of him in a just few seconds. She stood still and looked around in all directions. He was nowhere to be seen. The invisible creature began to set its targets on Sora. Three infra red dots appeared on Sora's right arm. They slowly moved up to her neck. Sora had no idea of the dots on her neck. She just continued to look round for the suspicious looking man. The tables turned as Tai got into the creature's aim.
"Hey, Sora." Said Tai, "Where'd you go. I've been looking all over for you. I was worried about you."
"Tai." Said Sora smiling. Tai was half covered in mud after the soccer match, "I'm sorry I ran off like that, Tai. I just saw someone suspicious talking to Mr. Fuji while you were playing. Tai smiled back at Sora and shrugged.
"Don't let it bother you, Sora." Said Tai.
"I guess you're right there, Tai. I'm sorry." Said Sora. Tai sighed.
"That's alright. Here, let me take you back to school." With that said Tai put his arm round Sora and they both walked back to the school. The creature from above watched the couple walk back to the school. It raised its right eyebrow and growled.
"Champion." It said.
To be continued………..
Can any of you guess who the starnger was? (Hint: Those who've watched 'Alien 3' should know who it is)
Just to be honest, I usually don't continue with a story unless I get more reviews for each chapter posted up. So please review and tell me what you think of it (I'm sorry, I just love reviews). Feel free to add any suggestions. Please answer the questions for me above if you can. Thanks.
