Chapter 6: Vending machine mania!
Disclaimer: I disclaim everything. Except me and Chu. ^_^
So, chapter 6! How exciting! Soon, another OC will be joining us! ^_^ Not in this chapter, though... Enjoy!
***********************************************************************
"Fanfiction.net!" I exclaimed, sitting up in bed. First of all, that in itself was weird. Normally, when I wake up, my first instinct is to roll over and go back to sleep. I quickly surveyed the room, trying to figure out where I was.
"Okay, so, I remember joining Magneto, and wandering around the hideout, and messing up the computer system... Then what happened?" I mumbled to myself. Then I slowly remembered using a quote from Tokyo Mew Mew to zap the machine... And all went black.
"Huh." I muttered, checking to make sure that I hadn't broken anything, then stood up and wandered out of my room, ready for breakfast.
***********************************************************************
After wandering around for a while, I came across Sabertooth.
"Hey, where's the kitchen? I'm hungry." I asked. He growled.
"No time for that." He growled again, and threw me over his shoulder.
"Hey! What are you doing to me? Hayama, don't do this to me! I'll overcome you with my Komawari theater technique! Hey! Hey! Hey!" I protested the whole time he carried me down the hallway.
***********************************************************************
"Oh. A mission." I mumbled, sitting in the helicopter between Toad and Sabertooth. I was r-e-a-l-l-y hungry, since I hadn't eaten anything since my yogurt back at Xavier's mansion... And I truly had no idea how many days it had been since then. Had it been days? For all I knew, it had been weeks. Time seemed to slow down, as I was getting hungrier and hungrier...
"Am I right... Or am I wrong..." I sang to myself, then after a thoughtful pause, I added, "Is it here that I belong...?"
***********************************************************************
When we landed, we were at what appeared to be a train station. Magneto was the first one to exit the helicopter, and I the one right after him. Unfortunately, I, being eve-graceful, tripped on a step and toppled over. I didn't have enough energy to catch myself, so I simply fell on to Magneto's back.
"Hello." I said dully when he turned and caught me. "I think I'm about to die..."
"Toad, do something with her." Magneto commanded, handing my fallen body to Toad. He seemed rather surprised. Huh. I guess he wasn't used to females passing out at him. I didn't know why not...
"Awwww..." I could have sworn I heard Toad whine when he took me from Magneto.
"Vending machine..." I rasped as the others walked away from us. "Take me to a... vending... machine... O-ne-gai..."
"Fine, fine, a vending machine!" Toad grumbled as he hoisted me over his shoulder. "$^^# *&$) ^@#*% !@#% @&#^*!@ ^$()&(^ %)*#&^..."
***********************************************************************
I was entirely too thrilled when we got inside the train station and found a vending machine. The minute Toad set me down, I ran over to it.
"FOOOOOOOD!" I drooled on the glass, then pounding on it with my fist. "OPEN!!!"
Toad, seeming very anxious to get away from me, smashed in the glass, and walked away disgustedly.
I didn't notice him leaving; I was too busy grabbing things out of the vending machine. Being very sensible, I sat down and ate some Pop Tarts and crackers so I would have some actual energy. After that, I enjoyed a few candy bars. Once I actually slowed down enough, I realized that I was ready to pop.
"Oops... Ate too fast..." I groaned. "I wonder where Magneto-sama went?" I wondered out loud. I heard something that sounded suspiciously like Cyclops blasting through the ceiling and decided it would be very good for me to find Magneto-sama again. At least then I would be safe.
But still, I couldn't leave all this candy...
***********************************************************************
So, with my arms loaded down with candy, I made my way down a hall that had already been abandoned by people fleeing from the fight. I was obviously very pleased with myself, until I heard a voice behind me.
"Chi!"
I jumped, whirling around.
"Chu!" I yelped guiltily. I was panicked. Surly she had noticed by now that I had "creatively borrowed" her manga...
But she didn't seem to know that.
"Why do you sound so suspicious?" She paused for a minute. "Did you steal that candy?"
"Well, I sure didn't BUY it!" I smiled, happy to change the subject. "Toad smashed the machine in!"
"Just like Valgarv!" She exclaimed, making a reference to a fanfic I had written.
"Yeah." I heard another loud blast. "Look, I gotta go find Magneto-sama. Here, take this..." I fumbled around my pile of candy for a moment. "Rollo." I handed her a Rollo, naturally, then turned around. "Bye."
She seemed quite happy that I had given her candy, and didn't say anything else as I slunk outside. Some cops had surrounded Magneto and his minions, and seemed to be being threatened by their own guns.
"Excuse me, guys." I walked through the cops, who were staring at me with horror. I don't know if the horror was at the fact that they were being threatened by their own weaponry or the fact that I was so calmly walking toward the source of the threat.
As I walked up, Sabertooth turned to Magneto and put a hand on his neck threateningly.
"That's enough, Eric." Sabertooth said softly.
"HEEEEY!" I stormed over to them. "HOW DARE YOU ADDRESS MAGNETO-SAMA ON A FIRST NAME BASIS, YOU SCUM!!!"
"Let the cops go." Toad agreed, also in a quiet tone.
"Traitors! Don't worry, Magneto-sama, I'll kill 'em!" I exclaimed. I was indeed very angry, to the point of squishing my candy cars. He glanced at me, making a gesture that seemed to mean I should be quiet.
"Why not come out where I can see you, Charles?" He asked hoarsely.
"What do you want her for?" Sabertooth asked, tightening his grip on Magneto's throat.
"XAVIER, YOU'RE CHEATING!!!!" I yelled, making a wild guess at where Xavier might be. I wound up glaring at a bush which had been planting for decorative purposes. "PLAY FIAIR, MR. SUPPOSED NICE GUY!!!"
"What's the matter, Charles?" Magneto tapped the side of his helmet. "Can't read my mind? What now?"
"CONTRACTIONS! AUUG!" I looked wildly back to Magneto. "Don't you know that you're supposed to be a flowery enough guy to use the whole word? You know, cannot for can't, and will not for won't, although I don't understand how that's a legitimate contraction..."
As always, I was ignored.
"The girl. What do you want her for?" Xavier asked through Sabertooth, then added as an afterthought, "Not Chi."
"Well thank you so much for clearing that up!" I glared at the bush again, although I knew Xavier probably wasn't really in there.
"To save the girl, you will have to kill me. And what will that accomplish, Charles? You will let these humans have their way, and they will have you in chains with a number burned into your forehead." Magneto seemed to shake his head, though he was unable to.
"You tell him, Magneto-sama!" I growled with a vengeance.
"It's not going to be that way." Xavier replied through Sabertooth.
"Then kill me and find out." Magneto challenged him. Several awkward moments passed in dead silence. Dead silence. I hoped that Magneto wasn't going to be dead soon. That would have been... Disastrous.
"I won't let him do that!" I declared, then began a chant that any good Slayers fan would recognize. "Darkness beyond twilight, crimson beyond blood that flows..." I took a dramatic breath, as everyone stared at me, wondering what in the world I was doing. "...buried in the stream of time is where you power grows." I glared at the bush again. "I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand." I paused for a moment, trying to remember the next line. Oh, Arcanum would be so ashamed to see that I was struggling like this! "Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess! DRAGON SLAVE!!!!"
With a great final gesture, there was a great BIG explosion of electrical energy detonated. It would never be as devastating as one of Lina's Dragon Slave-s of course, but I thought it was pretty good...
Magneto was completely unaffected by the shock, and Sabertooth and Toad seemed to be released from Xavier's mind control. It was then that I noticed that Sabertooth was carrying a bag. A rather big bag.
"A body bag?" I mused as Sabertooth released Magneto's throat.
"Feeling a little used?" Magneto commented to Sabertooth in an almost sarcastic tone. At that moment, out helicopter appeared overhead. After making a wide arc, it landed beside us. We climbed in to it, and I stuck my tongue out at the bush.
"Goodbye, Charles." Magneto said softly, having no doubt that Xavier could hear him.
"And your little dog too!" I laughed as we took off. Not only was I lacking on sleep, I was on a sugar high. What a bad combination.
