Chapter 12: Wolf
Disclaimer: I do not own Chrono Cross, or anything related to it. Square owns it not me, so don't even think of getting me in trouble.
* = Author's note
*-_- ... guess what guys? You know what happened when I went to upload this chapter about a week ago? FF.net had to repair itself. Yeah. It stank, but here it is, just for you, you patient PATIENT people you. Anyway, maybe Dr. Metallium does Anonymous. ~_^ Expect some strange events going on in school, and I mean WEIRD. Cant wait for your reviews, keep em coming!*
Dr. Metallium, her alabaster hair swinging from side to side as she circled who else, but Lynx. Two large wolves stood on either side of her, growling and biting at Lynx's ankles. Lynx just stood and watched with a smug look as the three circled him.
Before Serge or Kidd could do anything, Ms. Metallium ran up, squeezing Serge into her.
"OH!" She cried, swinging Serge around by the head "you're HERE, Serge! I missed you!"
Serge's neck cracked as she squeezed harder. He could only let out a muffled "Ouch..."
Kidd yelped."O-OY! Let go ah him!!"
Ms. Metallium slowly loosened her grip on the poor boy, "Aw, you're now fun, Kidd-chan.* she said smiling with her usual perkiness, and let Serge get himself reorganized.
After Serge recovered, he took a double take at Lynx, his eyes becoming filled with a worry that Kidd found strangely familiar, but she couldn't recall when. "He... he's my father still... isn't he?" Serge almost whispered, the words forming clearly on his lips, spilling out an icy cold chill from within him.
Ms. Metallium glanced over at Dr. Metallium, who was still circling Lynx within an eight-foot radius. There was a long pause as a calm spring breeze fluttered over them, almost mockingly to the subject they were discussing. "If you mean... was he you father once, then yes..."
Serge didn't move his eyes away from Lynx, his young frame tight and his eyes intense, almost angry looking, but filled with contemplative sadness.
Kidd's thoughts were filled with what it must be like to have lost a loved one, even though she felt she could relate somewhat, even though her mother was now in communication with her. But, to never have known your father at all and when you finally meet him, he isn't even himself anymore. Just an empty shell for another being that takes the form of what you fear most.
Kidd's eyes fell victim to her emotions and she lay a hand on Serge's shoulder, which almost made him jump. He turned his head slowly to Kidd's, a mild expression of surprise coming across his face.
Kidd smiled heartily. "Serge... don't let it get ta ya... please... I mean..."
Serge's eyes became slightly confused, as he looked down at her, his mouth open. He then smiled back at her and said quietly: "Sure... I--"
Lynx's deep voice cut off the air (and Serge) like a hot knife. "I need to speak with the ones called Serge and Kidd, Metallium."
Dr. Metallium stopped circling the cat man, against the will of the growling wolves at either side of her. Her golden eyes flashed like that of the sun and she grinned merrily at Lynx, the slits of her eyes contracting. "They should be here, can't YOU pick them out... or, maybe... FATE hasn't its full powers back?"
Lynx set the tense mood with another long pause, while the students stared at the marvel of a man Lynx was. He wore a long, high collared black coat, tight black gloves, and a black hat that looked like it was from the 1920's. His cat-like eyes glared into the wolf-woman's merry gaze. Then, his deep voice once again rang:
"If you do not bring them here... then all these students will die."
The crowd gasped and a loud murmur spread over them, filled with confusion and terror.
Dr. Metallium's face switched rapidly between nervousness and determination.
In a tiny flash of silver, Harle stepped up, her eyes fixated on Serge. "... Mon Serge, you'd better step forward for de sake of zee school..." At that, she stepped back a baby step, and disappeared.
Serge's expression filled with determination, his eyes glaring upward towards his former father. He took Kidd's hand, and gripped it tightly, the tension around him engulfing Kidd's emotions. They stepped up through the crowd, pressing against the bodies of the other students until the commotion and blathering stopped, as Lynx's head turned slowly to meet the approaching duo.
They passes Dr. Metallium, and stopped abruptly kicking up dust off the sun- dried concrete. Lynx grinned at the sight before him.
Then, Serge said loudly and clearly towards the cat-man:
"We're here... Lynx."
Kidd stepped up closer to Lynx, bearing gritted teeth. "Whot do ye want, Lynx...?" she growled, jerking her head once to the side, her hair whipping violently.
Lynx chuckled, his low voice sounding like slick metal. "I originally came to see Dr. Metallium, but then I realized you two went to this school... the two rejected children of time."
The murmur from before rose again as to what this cat-man could be wanting with two of their fellow students. But, Dr. Metallium hushed them down to a few random whispers with the growling of her comrades at her sides.
Serge stared up at his former father with even stronger determination in his eyes."... we aren't fighting you. Not here."
Lynx snapped his fingers crisply through the morning air, the twisted scythe of ages long past appearing just above his brow and dropping neatly into his clawed hands. "I wouldn't worry about the crowd, they already know too much. It would be best for them to die here anyway. You can read my mind very well, I'm surprised you knew what I was going to as you to do. It's just like a father and son, a bond that cannot be broken..."
Serge's left eye twitched rapidly, his teeth clenched down tightly upon each other, and his fists trembling with such rage that his knuckles turned white with the pressure he was putting upon himself.
Kidd stared at Serge's trembling hands in astonishment, and thought to herself:
(A've never seen 'im this angry before... he's almost... frightening...)
She took a feeble step towards the enraged boy, keeping herself slightly distanced from him. But, as she took another, Serge lunged for the small bag that held their compressed weapons. In a matter of seconds he had swung his swallow full force around his front in a semi-circle and was rushing towards Lynx in a swirl of rage and adrenaline. Serge, his eyes fixated on Lynx's, swung the blade straight towards Lynx's neck.
Kidd fell back as the crowd of students scrambled to get away from Serge and Lynx, the screaming and yelling growing louder and louder in Kidd's ears, as she watched, wide-eyed at what was coming toward her.
Lynx swung the scythe powerfully at Serge, ripping the alabaster shirt, and gashing into Serge's stomach, sending him flying backward in a whirl of pain, straight into Kidd and back crashing into the crowd behind them.
