'No, not again!'
Xion stood in a building, a scientist who was scared half to death in his hand. He knew he met the scientist somewhere but, the scientist had died. Because of him. Xion picked the scientist up, and looked at him. He grabbed the poor man's shoulder and dislocated an arm. The old scientist screamed in pain as Xion beat him to a pulp and kicked him out the window of the 25th floor of the building.
He heard running footsteps and saw three dozen guards standing there. He gritted his teeth. He never liked this place and he never wanted to be just a specimen. Out of anger, he changed to his Unborn form and slashed his way through the guards' bodies. Once he reached the main door, his already red trenchcoat had turned a brighter red from fresh blood. Xion looked at his hand and saw blood flowing down his fingers. He whirled around towards a tree and yelled,
"I know you're there so, there's no need to hide from me!" A figure expectantly walked out from behind the tree, clapping his two, large palms and smiling a stupid smile. His green hair spiked up at the centre of his head and his lab coat explains he's one of the scientists too.
"Very good! Your sixth sense is better than I thought!" Xion knew that man. It was Busuzima! The last person he'd want to meet on his funeral. (No pun intended.) Xion turned to his beast form and rushed towards the lanky scientist and stabbed the man right on the abdomen. He was surprised at the scream the person in front of him emitted and looked up to see...
'Casey...?' Casey's red eyes were blank, lifeless. His attack had gone through the girl's body and blood was still flowing out of the dead girl's wound. Suddenly, Xion heard a faint voice.
"...Murderer..." He turned around and saw no one but voices kept ringing in his head.
"...Murderer... ...Killing for your own pleasure... ...Taking people's lives away... ...Including those of whom you love..." Xion was kneeling on the ground now, clutching his head in agony, trying to clear the voices out.
"...Murderer...Liar..."
"No!! I didn't do it on purpose!"
'BOOM!!'
Xion opened his eyes slowly, clearing his view and his gaze met the white ceiling of his room, his covers tangled around his waist and legs. He was sweating and he felt his heart thumping in his chest. He had a nightmare, again. And, it was the second time in two weeks had he fallen out of bed from a nightmare. He sat up slowly, feeling a slight numb feeling at the right side of his neck and massaged it lightly. Light poured in from his open window, shining on his face.
"Man, I must have woken up and fell from the wrong side of the bed..." Xion thought out loud as he untangled his covers, dumped them on his bed and went to the bathroom.
After taking his bath, he went downstairs to have some breakfast when he heard something that is made from metal fall on the floor. Then, he went into the kitchen, and saw Uriko and Casey struggling with some pancake batter. Jenny was there as well, smoking outside the kitchen window which had been opened. Uriko was the first to notice Xion leaning on the doorframe.
"Oh, hey Xion! Good morning! Sorry, we're just trying to make some pancakes!" The hyperactive cat zoanthrope waved wildly at the blue-haired young man at the door who just sighed at the mess the two girls have made. Then, he walked out of the kitchen and sat down on one of the chairs in the dining room, where Shenlong was. A cigarette in one hand and the day's newspaper in the other. Coincidentally, Xion was sitting across Shenlong. Shenlong looked down from his paper, smiling and looked at Xion with an 'I-gotcha!' look that Xion have always despised.
"What are you smiling at? And what's with the look?" Xion had a scowl on his face as Shenlong just rolled his eyes and took a camcorder from his pocket and waved it at Xion.
"Do you know what's in this camcorder?" Shenlong smiled very suspiciously and Xion didn't like that one bit. As Shenlong expected, Xion suddenly disappeared from his seat and re- appeared on the table in front of Shenlong but Xion didn't expect Shenlong to do the same and not to mention stand on a vase without breaking it. Xion scrambled towards Shenlong as Shenlong nimbly jumped and landed silently on the couch, switching the channel to a basketball match that was playing.
"Shenlong, give me the camcorder!!" Xion yelled as Xion chased Shenlong around. After a while, the tiger was cornered in the cellar. Shenlong looked around, looking for something when Xion pounced on him. They did a little pro-wrestling for a minute when Shenlong broke the ceiling and jumped into... Jenny's room. There were a few screams and Shenlong and Xion can be seen falling into the garden from Jenny's window.
"BUZZ OFF, PERVERTS!!" Jenny screamed from her room window as Shenlong slowly untangled himself from the rose bush before Xion takes the camcorder from him. Lucky for Shenlong that Xion fell into the thornful part of the bush. Once he was out, he went over to the bush where Xion was and said,
"Bye. I'm sure everyone would love to see where you two've been doing." Shenlong smiled as he walked off, the camcorder in his hand and went back into the living room. Casey was there, luckily for Xion. She just came out from the back door and saw a red trenchcoat stick out from the bush. She took a quick inspection and saw Xion stuck in between a lot of thorns.
"Xion? What're you doing in there? You know very well that Yugo doesn't allow anyone to step in the bushes. Gado might kill him." Casey pulled at a few twigs and helped Xion up when Xion said a quick 'thank you' and rushed inside, where almost everyone was in the living room(Kenji and Uriko aren't invited.), watching the tape Shenlong used to record in his new camcorder. Xion was blushing furiously as he tried to wrestle his way through Shenlong to stop the VCR.
"Hey, are you trying to ruin the scene? C'mon! You've got to be kidding! At least we know you have some interest in girls!" Shenlong was pushing Xion to the floor, watching the screen while he was doing so.
After the little 'show', Xion took the tape and even though he knew it won't help him release his anger but, smashed the tape to pieces anyway.
In the evening, Casey, Uriko and Kenji went out to play basketball and after they were tired from the game, started back home.
"Hey, Casey, I didn't know you're a basketball player! You can even elude Kenji!" Uriko was still kind of active after the game and was skipping alongside Kenji who just kept quiet.
Casey was about to answer when she felt a sudden sharp pain in her head. It almost felt like her head was going to burst any second. She grabbed onto a nearby tree for support and soon enough, she was screaming in pain, clutching her head. The branch she held for support had broken under her grip as Uriko and Kenji lost hope in trying to stop her from transforming and gets ready for battle. Soon enough, Casey had turned into her beast form, again. And it was still unconscious. Uriko and Kenji had to try and change Casey back before anything else happens. Something else did happen. Before Kenji or Uriko could even react, there was a flurry of red and Kenji had barely dodged a slash that made a deep cut at his cheek. Uriko, on the other side, was pinned to the wall by the neck, struggling to get away from the beast's grip. People were staring and before Kenji could reach Uriko in time, Casey had killed nearly all the people in sight. Casey was about to slash a kid but Kenji had stood in her way and in turn, got a deep gash from his left shoulder down to his right side. He was lucky the attack wasn't anywhere near his heart or he would've been lying sprawled on the floor right now.
"Kenji!!" Uriko screamed as she went for a running kick. Casey's beast form was smarter than it looked as it evaded the kick with ease and kicked the cat up into the air and did three uppercuts in midair.
Kenji struggled to get up, clutching his left shoulder which was still bleeding from the wound, warm blood trickling down his white T-shirt. Just then, Long and Xion was around. By the looks of them, Long was calming Xion's temper down as they were walking around the streets and by their expressions, they knew something was very wrong. Long noticed the familiar red beast on the street, thrashing around, releasing powerful attacks at a familiar zoanthrope, Uriko.
Xion ran up to the beast and as if the beast didn't expect, Xion punched the crab right in the face and sent it flying through a shop.
"Casey, get up! I know that you're able to control yourself! Are you going to just let yourself destroy this city!?" Xion nearly yelled as the beast slowly rose from under the piles of groceries. Its crimson eyes shone in anger but deep inside the anger, Xion and Long saw sorrow as tears flowed out of the beasts' eyes, as if Casey was trying to change back with no avail. She ran up to him and jumped, using her knee to hit Xion's chin on the way. Long tried to knock Casey out but was beaten up pretty badly. Xion stood up as he came face to face with Casey's beast.
'Xion, help me!' he heard a voice calling. He knew the voice very well as suddenly the beast screeched in pain, clutching its head and started changing back. Soon, Casey was back to normal but, due to lack of energy from changing, collapsed. She was lucky Xion was there to catch her. Xion hugged her as he slowly stroked her hair and felt proud of her for being able to control her beastal powers.
Later, in the hospital, Long slowly opened an eye and met the white ceiling of the hospital. He looked around slowly and almost got scared out of his wits looking at Shenlong's face right in front of his. He could've jumped in surprise if his legs aren't injured.
"Hey, what's with the scared look? Aren't you happy to see me?" his clone said, raising a brow. His red eyes showed confusion as he sat down on a chair next to Long's bed.
"Where are the others?" Long asked, not looking at his clone. He must have got a numb neck for not being able to turn his head.
"There. Yugo, Alice and Kohryu are around Kenji and Uriko. Xion is with the blue-bee." Shenlong pointed to the three beds next to Long as Long heaved a relieved sigh.
Alice, Yugo and Kohryu, on the other hand, were quite worried about Uriko and Kenji. Will Kenji and Uriko survive from their wounds? Its all in the next chapter. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Done... at last...
