Falling: Chappie 2 ^-^
(A/N: This one's a little long..bear with me. But I have all the other chappies ready and waiting!)
"Rex.....Rex, wake up!" a voice called.
Rex opened his eyes. A boy with aqua green hair stood over him, his identity masked by what looked like ski goggles.
"How am I not dead?" Rex asked weakly.
"You didn't take in that much of the Bio-Narcolepsy vapor. Roba, however, took in quite a bit." The boy said, removing his goggles.
Rex stared. The boy reached for a pair of gold glasses on a table nearby, proving Rex's thought.
"Weevil Underwood?" Rex asked in disbelief. Weevil nodded.
"I was picking up a strange signal coming from KaibaCorp's testing labs, specifically the B-N Labs. See, I've been trying to scan the entire continent for a certain kind of material, a kind of metal that can never be broken or melted. Even steel can be melted if hot enough, but this.....well, someone relayed to me that some was in the KaibaCorp building. I gave it a scan, but the waves given off from Roba's night vision goggles made the scan malfunction. I went down to check it out, and I found you guys in the lab.....and using this baby right here," he pointed to a device on the table resembling a guitar and a ray gun at the same time, "I got you out of there."
Rex was silent for a moment.
"But aren't we supposed to hate each other's guts? I mean we've been rivals for, like, forever..." Rex said.
"Put that aside for now. There are better things to do than piss and moan at each other." Weevil said.
"Oh, so you want to help us." Rex said.
Weevil rolled his eyes and started clapping.
"My, how intelligent we are." He said, sarcasm dripping from every syllable.
"You don't even know what we're looking for." Rex said.
"I'm helping you anyway. Now if you wouldn't mind explaining....."
"Alright. I'll explain. There's a kind of crystal being tested in the KC labs, and we're trying to get it from them. The kind of equipment they've got uses radioactive waves to penetrate through objects. But if that crystal comes into contact with radioactivity....." Rex started.
"Well?"
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" Rex said, falling over on his back. "It could create an explosion big enough to blow off half the planet! I had a chance to have Genius Boy over there study the crystal's genetic code," he pointed to Roba, "and all the evidence pointed to that."
"Could, you said? So it might not?"
"Well, we shouldn't take chances. If we do, and we're wrong, we're a pile of ash within fifteen seconds." Rex said, sitting back up.
"Looks like someone did their homework." Weevil joked.
The sound of broken glass caught their attention, followed by a 'Woo, that's a lot of shards'.
"Roba's okay, I'm guessing." Rex said.
Weevil nodded. "Yeah."
Roba walked out from behind a shelf, a guilty look on his face.
"Wasn't my fault. It attacked me." He said, holding up a broken vial stained with purple and pointing to a puddle on the floor of the same color.
"You MORON!" Weevil shrieked.
The puddle began to pulsate, as if it were alive.
And it was.
A hand the size of a human materialized from the shapeless purple puddle, an arm following. It reached for Roba, who promptly screamed and hid behind Weevil.
"You're smart! GET RID OF IT!" Roba screeched.
Weevil hesitated a moment, debating whether to leave Roba alone to face what he'd done (it was his fault, after all) or destroy the mass of purple goo. He sighed and walked over to a cabinet. Of course, this allowed the purple blob to extend the hand towards Roba (who was too scared to move) and grasp his entire body in the one hand.
Roba screamed, which was soon cut off by a squeeze from the hand. Now beginning to turn a bright scarlet due to lack of air, he was starting to wish he had nothing to do with anything involved. All his thoughts were interrupted by a quick 'BANG' from Weevil's side of the room. For a split second the hand let go, but grasped Roba again, blocking his mouth and nose. Roba's eyes widened as he attempted to scream, only succeeding in getting a mouthful of purple slime. Rex watched in panic as Roba's eyes grew entirely white, his head tilted to the side.
Suddenly rapid shots zipped by Rex's head, hitting the blob of goo and causing it to retract. It had turned into nothing more than a puddle of what looked like water dyed purple. Roba was lying in the center of the puddle, his eyes still white. Rex looked towards Weevil. He was holding a gun that was the size of a guitar and similar in appearance to the object he had shown to Rex earlier.
Weevil put the gun down, and rushed to Roba's aid. He picked up the now- substantially-lighter body and placed him on another bed near Rex's.
"He's just fine. This has only happened once before, and it was one of the guards at KaibaCorp you killed." Weevil explained. "But he won't be the same when he wakes up."
"What?!" Rex screeched.
"Relax. He'll have the same personality, and he won't have lost his memory, but there's an everlasting side effect. You see, that vial he broke contained a pure essence of Demon's Blood. He swallowed quite a bit of it....enough to spark this change. What will happen is this. At times, he may start to get a little moodier. Hyperventilation, pure rage, the whole shebang. This is the sign that in a few minutes, major change will occur-"
"Ya mean it turned him into a woman?!" Rex screamed.
"No, you dolt! Let me finish! He'll start hyperventilating, big time. But then something extraordinary will occur. He'll begin to change physically, into a demon. He'll look a little similar, but he'll be a true-to-life demon."
Roba arose from the puddle of purple goo, breathing heavily. He gritted his teeth, his eyes glowing a bright red.
"Watch." Weevil whispered.
Roba clenched his fists, and snarled at nothing in particular. Fangs were now visible, and stripes began to stretch halfway across the sides of his face. A crescent moon shape appeared on his forehead. His eyes grew catlike and gold, almost more glittery than the metallic claws that now graced his hands. Roba grinned at Rex, his fangs glinting in the light of a nearby lamp.
"And you're staring why?" he said, in a calmer and more serious voice than was normal.
"Eh...nevermind." Rex said.
He soon found himself raised above the ground, being picked up in one of Roba's hands, and threatened with razor claws to his neck with the other one.
"Tell me." Roba said.
"Nevermind! It's okay!" Rex said nervously.
Roba pressed a claw ever-so-slightly into Rex's neck, drawing a little blood, but not more than a few drops.
"What, do I look weird to you?" Roba growled. Rex shook his head. Roba put him down. "Fair enough."
Rex, upon being placed on the ground, yelped and hid under a table. Roba became shrouded in a bright blue mist, his demon-features disappearing. Upon returning to normal, he collapsed on his bed, exhausted.
"That demon thing tires him out?" Rex asked from under the table.
"Yes. It takes up a lot of energy to keep a demon satisfied, more than it takes a human. Give him a few minutes. He'll be just fine."
Once Roba awoke, he sat up and looked cautiously around him, as if expecting another purple blob to attack him. Once he was convinced this wouldn't happen, he looked toward Rex, who was still hiding under the table.
"What? Something scare ya?" Roba asked.
"Yeah, you." Rex said bitterly.
"What did I do THIS time?" Roba asked.
"You went all demon-ish on me!" Rex snapped. "You turned into a demon and started to attack me! Then you picked me up off the ground and scratched my neck!" Rex pointed to the scratch on his neck.
"I did that? I don't remember....."
"Don't lie!" Rex spat.
"He's not lying. He won't remember a thing about his demon-form's activities. It's like having an out-of-body experience." Weevil said from behind a cabinet. "And that's why I'M hiding."
"Okay, what're we going to do about the crystal?" Roba asked.
"I'll have to come up with some advanced-level equipment. Do you know when the crystal is going to be tested?" Weevil said, pondering.
"In four days. I saw the schedule when we were in the offices of the employees." Roba said.
"Perfect. Give me those four days. On the last day, we'll break in, armed and ready, and get that crystal. That's a plus, since it gives me some time to work on the equipment, and the crystal will be easier to find on the last day since they'll have it out and ready to test." Weevil said, grinning his signature grin, one of the few things that truly scared Rex, ranking right up there with Roba's demon-form and heights.
(A/N: Hee. I luff Weevil ^-^)
