Is That You? By: OtakuSailorV
Chapter 12:: Fights and Demands
Genki and the others tore around corners, following screams, pushing past panic-stricken civilians, and trying to keep away from the hoards of police officers that were appearing out of nowhere in the city.
Several times someone had tried to stop them again, but Hikari had found a way to distract them while the monsters hid among the buildings.
Now, as they dodged around a large pile of rock, they were startled to see a thick, dark, black smokescreen burst from the doors of one building.
Everyone stopped, as if knowing that they were to wait for something to happen.
"It's in there." Hikari said, pressing forward.
"Don't go in." Holly warned her. "Don't go in."
Hikari stopped and looked at her, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but stopped herself and kept in place.
"We can't just wait for them out here." She finally said as more smoke billowed out.
Holly made a face, clenching her fists before walking up and standing beside her. "But it might be waiting for us to go in, you can't just run in there."
Hikari looked like she was about to protest when Genki stepped in. "This isn't any time to argue." He pointed out. "It'll come out, it probably can't breathe with all that smoke."
"There's more than one." Hikari said sternly, but without making eye contact.
Holly and Genki both stared at her, as if they wanted to question how she knew when something moved inside of the smoke.
"Get ready." Hikari said, but she didn't brace herself for any impact like the monsters behind them were.
There was a crashing noise, and cries from inside before the monsters burst forth, giving war cries and waving their long arms in the air.
Holly gasped, and Genki opened his mouth to speak when Hikari proclaimed in a monotone, the name of the Monsters racing from the black smog. "Gels."
Genki and Holly both blinked and stared at her. "How did you-?" Genki started to ask when Hikari took a step forward.
"No time to talk, here they come."
Everyone turned as the hoard of Gels noticed them suddenly, and, cackling, swept toward them.
Tiger, Hare, and the others went forward to meet them, growling.
The humans watched as the monsters clashed. Genki and Holly looked determined to fight, while Hikari watched with a blank expression, her eyes darting from monster to monster without emotion.
"We should help them." Holly finally mumbled, though she wasn't sure how they would help their friends.
Genki nodded, and, as if she were the leader, both Holly and he turned toward Hikari expectantly.
The girl, feeling their eyes on her, turned toward them with a dull expression. "What?"
Genki made a face, wanting to demand her identity from her when the thought struck him. She had had all those high tech gadgets back in that small cabin, so it was no wonder she knew about the monsters. She had probably played the games before, or at least heard of them. Still, that didn't explain how calm she was in the face of all the hysteria. He was utterly perplexed.
"What?" Hikari pressed.
Holly fumbled when Genki didn't answer. "Do you know a way that we could help our friends. . . ?"
Hikari looked back at the battling monsters. "If you do not wish for them to be changed into stones again, then I know of no solution. They are in a mad, hysterical world. The shock of a world, so unlike their own, has driven them to near madness. They will be hard to calm and reason with."
"Then what?" Genki protested, though he knew it wasn't the young woman's fault that she knew of no way to fight them without hurting them.
"However," Hikari started, ignoring his comment. "There may be a way. . ." She stopped in contemplation, her following speech nothing but mumbling. "Can't take hoards of monsters with us everywhere. . .must be another way. . .some way to send them back. . .some way. . ."
She finally sighed, ruffling her hair. "Get them to a place with a high amount of energy, trap them there for a while, keep them busy." She ordered, turning and walking off.
Genki watched her go, suddenly angry. "Where are you going?!" He demanded. "An area with high amount of energy?! How are we gonna get to the power plant on the other side of town?!"
Hikari looked back at him, eyes narrowed. "You're the fighters, figure out the battle strategy. I, however, will be bringing something to contain them in." She said, her voice barely audible above the roar of the fighting monsters.
Genki looked furious, but Holly placed her hand on his shoulder and directed his attention back to the monsters as she watched Hikari turn and go again. "There is no time to fight with her now, Genki. We have to get the Gels to where she said."
"Why should we do what she says though?" Genki asked, his trust for the blond haired girl dissipating as her strange attitude and origin sunk in.
"Trust, Genki. She must know what she's doing." Holly smiled at him before they both turned toward their monster friends.
Mocchi looked up as Genki called his name. "Genki?" He asked questioningly as his friend motioned for them to follow Holly and he.
Nodding, Mocchi turned to the others. "Genki and Holly said to chase them this way, chii."
Tiger and Pixie immediately turned a circle around their enemies and began to herd them after their human allies. "Are you sure about this, Genki?!" tiger yelled over the shouts of protest from the Gels.
"Yes! Just follow us! Hikari says she has a way to capture them!"
Without another word of protest, Tiger, Pixie, Golem, and their monster friends continued to herd the Gels toward the power plant, all of them questioning what the weird girl had in store.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Me again. Hope you didn't get too impatient with me for not updating for a while. Heh.
Well, sorry if the chaps a bit short this time too, didn't want to end so soon, but I didn't want to drag it on for forever either. sigh
Thanks for your lovely reviews. I'm delighted that you all like my story. Thanks again. Ja!
Review please!!
