*Author notes: I wanted to make up for the huge delay last weekend, but my scedule got a lot more hectic, with exams coming up and all. With 2 projects due and a summary paragraph, I was severly lacking in any free time. Luckily, I found this break from the work to put up another chap. Actually, this isn't really a break, as im supposed to be studying. I felt I owed you all something. My apology for the wait.
I got a lot of reviews concerning the last chapter. Was it really that good? Great, then I'm better than I thought. But I should lower my ego, ya know? Anyway, now to rant. I thought I should follow up the last chapter with a little piece of the Jack dictionary.
Verb:Glomp, definition: to tackle and hug at same time, usually follwed by the gasping for air. Depending on number of sugar-hyper girls, injury is possible. For best defence, always carry one Miroku around with you at all times. He doubles up as a lecherous girl remover and a decoy for escaping. See ANIME. Derivatives: glomp-ed, glomp-able, glomp-age, glomp-it-up, glomp-till-you-drop, run-Jack-you're-about-to-be-glomp. End.
Anyway, onto other things...
The reason I put Kenshin in a low power gundam was for plot-power reasons. Think about it. Imagine the easy battles if I gave the mobile suit a buster rifle. Totally would kill the challenge. Expect there to be a mobile suit action seen somewhere in the future.
Chapter 23:
Major problem
"Kenshin, lets try this again. Press the 'open' button."
"Cloud, I told you. I DONT KNOW WHERE THE BUTTON IS!!"
Cloud slapped his forhead in frustration.
"Common Kenshin, you got in there. Get out!"
"I CANT!"
Cloud groaned for the 500th time that day.
"Push a random button then."
"Okay..."
This was followed by a loud explosion that shook the control room where Cloud and D.g. currently were. Inuyasha had Kagome in a bunk area behind a door in the contol room. Miroku was wandering around, Erika was sleeping, Brad was yelling (at Erika), and Kenshin was, well, in the gundam.
"That wasn't it."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Kenshin calmed down after a few minutes.
"Kenshin, your stuck."
Cloud turned the com off before he could hear the screaming. He turned to D.g..
"See if you can get him to calm down. I'm gonna go find a manual or something. Just keep him calm so he doesn't destroy the place."
D.g. nodded, and Cloud left.
"Okay Kenshin, lets try this..."
***
Cloud took the elevator down to the ground floor. He ignored the gundam that was bashing its head against a wall and turned his attention to the cargo crates. His idea was to just blast the door open on that gundam with explosives. He jogged over to the crates. The crates were stacked at odd angles and positions. He circled around one, and then opened it up.
Toilet paper.
He went over to another one.
More toilet paper.
He went to another one.
MORE toilet paper.
It was then that Cloud relized that he was in the toilet paper section. So he walked out top another part. Tools, metal parts, cans, computer systems, blankets. He walked around for a bit opening all the boxes. Guns, ammo, car parts, clothes, shoes. He opened a rather tall crate expecting to see more blankets, but found something else. There was a shiny gold gun in the middle, about the size of a rifle. Most of it was cylindar, with a wierd single shell loading mechanism on the back. He pulled it out. There were assorted red, white, and gold shells beside it. He grabbed a gold one with the number 2 on it. He loaded it up, then climbed on top of a crate. The gundam was turning toward him. He aimed and fired, not expecting the recoil to throw him off the crate. But it did. The gun itself shot a huge blast of energy that collided with the gundam head on. There was a loud POP, and the door to the gundam crumpled and fell out.
"Not bad." Cloud said to himself as he got up off the ground where he had been thrown.
Kenshin, overly happy, jumped out and kissed the ground. Cloud climbed back down and tossed the gun back in the crate. He didn't really need it. It was too powerful. Kenshin ran around on the ground joyously. Cloud ignored him and walked to the elevator that led back to the outside. He needed to go check the room, he had a bad feeling. They hadn't opened that box or even locked the door. He took the elevator up to the room. It hadn't changed really, still just a box and the door to outside. He walked toward the box, and was about to open it, when a loud clanging noise erupted from the door to the outside. Cloud looked up. The noise stopped and he waited a minute, before going back to opening the box. The clanging noise came again, and Cloud knew it came from outside. He cursed at his lack of forsight, as he had left his sword back in the control room. He walked quietly over to the door. He had no way of seeing who or what it was without opening the door. He pressed against the wall beside the door, and discreetly pressed the open button. The door slid up and open. Nothing happened. Then a leg stepped into the room. Cloud jumped into the doorway and grabbed the person by the collar and threw them on the ground, fist raised. Cloud immediatly found a sword infront of his face, about an inch from cutting into his right eye. It was at that moment that the two people relized who the other was.
It was Ashitaka.
"Cloud, right?"
"Yea, thats right."
Cloud removed his hand and gave Ashitaka a hand up. He accepted and put his sword away.
"How ya been Ashitaka?"
Ashitaka sighed.
"Very, very confused. That and cold."
Cloud nodded.
"I can understand. C'mon with me, I'll take you to the rest of the gang."
"They are all here?"
He brought Ashitaka to the elevator.
"Yea. Its a long story."
Cloud operated the elevator controls. Ashitaka gasped when the elevator started to drop, but remained calm as he watched the huge room out of the window.
"Ignore the giant robot on the floor. Its dead."
The elevator chimed and the door opened at the bottom. They stepped out into the light. Ashitaka looked around at the huge chamber. CLoud led him across the room, to the control room. Kenshin and the others were nowhere to be seen, so they were probably in the control room. Cloud and Ashitaka took the elevator up to the control room, expecting to see their friends. Oh they were there of course, but not in the best state.
The door opened to see a tall woman in purple holding Cloud's comrades in a purple bubble using her magic. They were all unconcious or dead. She turned and saw them.
"Ah, thats where the last one is."
She shot a purple ball at them, and they were immediatly imprisoned. CLoud strained to move, but found his limbs stuck in place. She flew them over to the other bubble, conencting them, dumping the two in with their friends. Cloud landed on Inuyasha and fell off. Ashitaka fell on Miroku. Cloud found he was able to move, and tried to rouse his friend.
"Inuyasha! Wake up!"
Inuyasha made no response. Cloud checked his pulse. It was slow, as if in a deep slumber. CLoud crawled over to Kenshin. He was out too. Ashitaka was checking Miroku and D.g., and shook his head at Cloud. They were all out.
"Your friends can not help you now, as they once were as well. My orders are to capture the four people, Kagome, Inuyasha, Kenshin, and Cloud, as well as all they are traveling with, for my master."
Cloud stared coldy at her. "Who's you master?"
She laughed out loud. "The same one its been for the last 800 years, Naraku, the Evil Magastrate."
Cloud could not believe it. "Naraku? 800 years?"
That would put them far into the future, around the year 2300.
"Dammit."
Ashitaka cursed behind him.
"My orders are to take you alive and wait till my master arrives. Its been a long search for you all, 800 years after all. My master will reward me greatly, despite the fact he will be taking you all away from me. Be happy, for that is the only reason that I will not be sucking your fluids out of each of you one by one."
She flashed a smirk that revealed a pair of fangs.
"Dammit."
Cloud cursed.
She flexed her fingers.
"And its just about time to but you to sleep, my unfortunate friends."
A bluish gas appeared inside the bubble. Cloud felt his eyelids grow heavy, and his vision fogged. He turned to look at Ashitaka, only to see him fall forward and lie still. Clouds strength started to fail him, and he started to fall over. He slumped to the ground with a final phrase.
"Magic-barrier."
He lost conciousness.
A green ball on his left glove glowed lightly.
***
"Greeting's master."
"Good job Isriashak. You have done your work well. Rashak would have been proud."
Isriashak shook her head.
"Utter not that name anymore. That was many years ago and we went our sepperate ways. He got as he deserved."
Naraku shrugged. He didn't look any different then as he had that many years ago. The shikon jewel does that to you.
"What do you plan to do with them, master?"
"Many things. They were, perhaps the biggest threat to me back then. I want to know why they are so powerful. As for the monk, I want to watch him scream as he is devoured by his own curse and sent to eternal darkness. The girl Kagome, however, is going to become my wife. I shall enjoy her screams as she loses her purity in my bed."
He let out an evil laugh that rung through the entire room, sifting itself into the dreams of the people with little hope of living.
