Assassins, How We Got Here, Chapter 8: SHOW TIME!!!!!
"Bulma? D-d-d-dear?" Albert yawned.
"In the bathroom sweetie," she said softly. Albert entered the bathroom to find a very peaceful looking Bulma sitting in the scalding tub gently moving her arms back and forth.
"You okay baby?" Albert asked softly.
"Yup. Just...relaxing..." she said slowly. Albert went over to the sink and turned on the tap. He pulled his tooth brush from the cabinet, sighing. He took the the tube of tooth paste and squeezed some on his brush, his every movement being observed by the naked, blue haired vixen in the tub. He brushed his teeth and put his brush back into it's holder. He then stripped off all of his clothes and stepped into the tub, sitting between Bulma's legs. Bulma wrapped her legs around his waist and he leaned back into her chest. They were both content with life for the moment.
&&&&&
"Bulma, Albert, great to see you," Rose said cheerfully. Battle was comming, she was excited.
"How's the kid Rose?" Bulma asked. Rose blushed.
"Uh, fine...not liking the whole morning sickness thing though...." Rose said bashfully (HA! You forgot didn't you?).
"Well, it should be gone soon, where is Lloyd?" Bulma asked.
"Over there," Rose replied pointing. As she said it, Lloyd transformed into his Dragoon form and rose off of the ground.
"Take care of the brat love," and he was gone.
"Fuck," Rose swore. "Well, he stayed longer than I would have thought...Expected it I did," but Rose didn't look too happy about it.
"Rose....what just happened?" Bulma asked with one of her trademark wide-eyed, blinking looks.
"Lloyd just left...Don't worry, everything's just fine. I was expecting it, I just wasn't expecting it to hurt. Oh well, I'll get over it," Rose seemed cheerful again, so Bulma justlet it go.
:::Goodbye my love::: Rose thought sadly. "Anyways, they should be here in about an hour, so get warmed up," Rose announced. Everyone paired up.
"Wonder how she know's exactly when they'll be here," Lavitz remarked to his sparring partner Albert. Albert refused to battle Bulma because they were married, so Dart was her sparring partner. They streatched, then warmed up with a nice jog around the town, then did some push-ups and sit-ups. Then sparred for a while. After about an hour of sparring, Rose called everyone to her dark bluetruck.
After about thirty minutes of driving, Rose came to a screeching stop. They exited the car to view a dry, barren land. It had absolutly nothing to see. Just small rocks and dirt (a/n like where I live lol..well maybe a few spray rigs...). "Where are we?" Meru asked.
"We are in a dessert idiot," Haschel replied.
"Don't call me an idiot!" Meru snapped. Haschell smiled.
"SHUT UP!" Rose roared. Everyone got quiet. They waited...and waited...and waited...and waited...and waited...and FINALLY they saw many strange ships. They were all gray. They weren't too large, and they were shaped like a plate with legs. There were about twenty in all. They all landed at the same time, and all of their doors opened at the same time. Rose gulped. She'd seen these kind before, they were from The Gray Death Legion. This wasn't good. Hundreds upon hundreds of people emerged from the ships as dozens more landed.
"BE ON YOUR GUARD!" Rose shouted over the noise of the ships landing, "DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT LET THEIR APPERANCED FOOL YOU, THEY WILL DESTROY YOU WITH ANY GIVEN CHANCE! NOW GO! ATTACK!" she yelled as the figures began firing thier weapons at the small group. (a/n I'm only gonna describefirst Dragoontransformation, take too long otherwise) Rose was the first to transform. As she held out her spirit and yelled the incantation (a/n I added the incantation part, in the game you just push the dragoon eye looking button thing...kinda hard to do here) and her body became surronded by darkness. In the darkness her clothes were stripped from her body, her body begins to twist round and round and black strips of darkness surronded her like a jump suit. Rose screamed as the blackness began to fit to her body as shewas still spinning and she streatched out completly. The blackness begun to take form, a chestplate begins to mold. The chestplate ripples, fitting itself to her body and ametallic structure begins to form, it flows down to her arms, then down her legs, her armor gives one last bulge before settling around her body comfortably and thickly. Metallic/flesh type wings begin to sprout from her back and she curls into a fetal position as the pain increases greatly as the wings completly form and flap expermientally, her whole body streatches into a straight up and down line, with her arms over her head as the darkness explodes from it's temporary confinement. She stays into this position until the darkness abates and her feet hover above the ground, courtesy of her wings. She slowly brings down her arms that are now holding a new and improved steelblack/purple sword and she holds it straight out in frount of her. She keeps it there until the last bit of darkness fades and whips her hair around her face till it lands gracefully behind her shoulders. She brought her heavy sword down to her side. The others quickly followed (process takes about two seconds...).
Seven Dragoons and one human with a whip charged the hundreds and hundreds of enimes. Bulma had more of a struggle than most because she had no nearly indestructable armor. Albert stuck by her side and protected her from bad blasts.
Rose had a hard time. Usually battle was no bigstruggle for her, but she was carying child, which made it much more difficult.
The battle raged on for hours, after all was said and done every Dragoon plus Bulma were still standing with thousands of corpses surrounding them. Then they saw a small ship slowly make it's way down to the Earth.
"Damn it!" Rose cursed. Now was the judgement time. She knew the prophacy just had to come true. Here she was thinking that she had changed the future but ney, that would be impossible. Rose recalled the prophacy still fresh in her mind, even after ten thousand years;
:::When the moon becomes no more in the dark midnight sky, on all hallows eve. A woman of young age will give birth to a child of strength.
The birth of the child will be the death of the mother and hatred would invade the father's heart.
She would know her father's wrath at the young age of five. A decade of suffering and pain will accompany her hand in hand. But her purity would remain intact and be gifted to her one true love.
Befriending the new age Dragoons would bring victory to Earth and defeat to great evil. But not all good shall prevail. As three Dragoons will lay to rest on Earth's battle ground. Never to witness their planets greatest victory.
Sorrow and pain will invade her heart, tainting her soul to no end. Leaving her planet from that day forth. Promising to the gods and to herself, never to return to her birth place.:::
No, there was no escaping fate.
They watched as the gray metallic thing slowly desended upon the ground and gracefully landed without so much as a bump. The engins shut off silently, as if knowing the fate of the inhabitants of the desolant area and were alreday paying their respects. They waited (yet again) for the passasngers to emerge. Then, slowly, the ship's door unhooked from it's latch and painfully slowly hit the ground. A tall figure with....wings? Yes wings,emerged from the pod. It had shockingly white hair and a very very long sword. Another figure emerged, this was obviously female, she had pink hair and two, short swords in either hand (a/nGo Mimi go Mimi! lol). The next was another large figure with white hair and wings, he had a single japanese sword. Then...a little girl no more than three with silver hair and she had a few shrikens (sp?) (a/n ',' had to put U there Lenk!). And last came an odd figure, he was short compared to the rest of the males, he was portly and had no weapons, he seemed to stumble as he walked. The first figure looked in their direction, then around at all of the corpses. He begun to laugh.
He walked towards them still laughing. He stopped a few meters from them and stared at them intently.
"Did you do this?" he asked, laughter apparent in his voice.
"Yes, we did," Rose said coldly. The man with silver hair began laughing again.
"I'm afraid...hahaha....that I'll....AHAHAHA...just have to...hehe..um, kill you now," he said, trying hard not to laugh.
"Yes, I suppose that WOULD be a laughing matter, go home and we won't kill you Gray Death," Rose said, voice still cold and venom lacing every word.
"Rose? Is that you lovely? Wow, nice to see you again dearest. Always were a good screw I'd say. I'm married now though, sorry. Too bad for you," the large man said cocking his head to the side.
"Shut. Your. Mouth. Sayain." Rose practically spit out.
"Ooh, little touchy are we? Or is it just the pregnancy? That's probably it. Narcissia was the same way when she was carrying Lenk...Not too pleasent for me I'll tell ya," the large man continued in a friendly, conversational tone. "Yup, always got the wrong end of the argument. So, who's the lucky man? If I would guess I'd say the red guy, you always had a thing for red ya know....Of course ya know...Anyways...Yaa, down to buisness. Hmm you have seven, we have...five..Well, I can take the Violet guy and the big gold guy there...I." But he was intrupted.
"I'M HEEEERRREEE GUYS!!!!!" Lavitz yelled (I JUST noticed he wasn't there ',') Lavitz came to a halt beside Bulma.
"Hey where were you buddy?" Meru asked.
"Don't worry....wow, what happened here?" he asked looking around.
"Later," Rose snarled.
"As I was saying. I'll take thegold guy and theviolet guy. Lenk I want you to take the green guy (a/n Nooooo, if anyone remembers Lenk's power..though she is only three....). Daniel...Take the guy that just showed up...don't mess up please." The one called Daniel just stood up straight and nodded affirmativly...He looked a little goofy. "Umi, take the girl with blue hair. Mimi take the two females.Know what...Mi, also take the violet guy. Lenk take the big guy. I'll take the leaders," the big guy stated.
"Don't be so cocky Sephiroth," Rose whispered harshly. "We're stronger than you think."
"Riiiight...anyways. Let's go people," Sephiroth said and charged. He tried taking both Dart and Rose at the same time, little did he know when they did partner duels, those two ALWAYS paired up. They clothes pinned him. Rose went below Sephiroth (they can fly now...duh) and Dart was above.
"FINAL" Dart started.
"DEATH" Rose started.
"BURST!" "DIMENSION!" they said in unison. A big ball of lava flew towards Sephiroth while he was being caputred in a curious t.v. screen like thing. It sucked in both him AND the Final Burst. His wing and hair were singed badly. Not to mention lots and lots of cuts burns and scraped. Some pretty bad. When the dimension spit him back out and he found he could breath again, Sephiroth stood up.
"Not bad," he said brushing himself off and raising an eyebrow.
Meanwhile:
"HASCHELLL!" Meru cried as the old man fell to the ground, bleeding badly. Shana was panicking.
"I didn't see her move! I didn't see her move!" she yelped.
"IDIOT USE YOUR DAMN HEALING MAGIC ON HIM!"Meru roared at her...But Shana was long gone.
"It..it's alright M-Meru. It was m-m-m-my time anyway," Haschel gasped. He smiled "Keep up on your homework Mer. I'll be watching you," Haschel said. His body changed from Dragoon to human form in a flash and the Violett Dragoon spirit flew off into a direction (Back ot the Dragoon Lair that is).
"HASCHELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!" Meru screamed. She panted as the last consenent died. She stood up, enraged. "You mother fucking bitch! I'm going to knock the shit out of you!" and she began to charge Shana.
