Chapter 12
A/N: I do not own the song Tribe Spirit by Tribal Sister.
"Amber's gonna kill me, you know that, right?"
"Shut up."
Everyone was getting pissed, one being that they had to take a boat, two, ugh, Columbia hadn't shut up about Amber killing her.
They had been on the boat for a little over a day heading south and Columbia sat at the front of the boat the whole time, she didn't even sleep.
Hiei, Yukina, and Yusuke watched Columbia so she didn't try adn so anything, well, anything.
Columbia still continued to watch, then finally, she saw the dock leading into the city. As she went to stand up, she fell back, scrambling for the back of the boat.
To many memories came back at once, the Locos, Zoot, the Guardian, the Technos. It all came back too fact and too hard.
"I can't do this. I can't go back to this wasteland."
Even as the boat pulled up, Columbia continued to panic, she was home, but this home was wrecked and in ruins.
From the dock, the city looked like a wasteland.
"No one's here, let's go home."
Before she could go back to the back of the boat, the others pushed her onto the dock. She froze as her feet touched.
She didn't even move as the others got off the boat, but did move as Hiei grabbed her right arm and Yusuke grabbed her left arm and pulled her with them.
"Where do we go Red, where are we?"
"Centre City Plaza."
"Which is what exactly."
"Home, Yusuke, home."
Columbia's fear of the city subsided as she headed off in a direction, the others followed.
After walking for a while, Columbia stopped in front of a huge building with a sign that read "Centre City Plaza". In front of the building was a burning barrel.
"Someone's still in the city."
Columbia began to smile as she walked into the building.
In the city, it didn't look like anyone had been there in a while, but in the mall, it looked like someone was living there.
"Wow," was all anyone said as they all walked in.
"I know."
(A/N: I've seen the inside of the mall, but I can't exactly remember who's room is where and on what floor, so please bare with me.)
Columbia walked off to the right, towards the kitchen. There as still food laying around. From there, she walked upstairs by the bedrooms, until she got to hers.
For some reason, she had been given Zandra's old room. Lez had told her that she reminded him of Zandra. Columbia would usually wear some of Zandra's old clothes as well.
Botan put a hand on Columbia's shoulder and asked, "What does that mean?"
On the wall at the head of the bed, it read "Zandra" and to the right of that, it read "Angel", Columbid had put that there for some symbolic reason.
"I'm Angel and this room used to be Zandra's, I never got to meet her, but everyone who did told me that I remind them of her, especially Lex."
Everyone looked a bit confused about the whole Columbia being Angel.
Before anyone could ask her about her name, a crash came from downstairs. They slowly walked their way to the stairs and they saw a person, a girl, kicking stuff around.
The girl was a little tall, not that tall, she had blonde hair with a bit of purple in it, she also had markings on her face and left hand and after staring at her for a bit, Columbia caught on, she knew who this girl was.
"Patsy?"
(A/N: I Like I said last chapter, I saw up to the middle of season 4 and I have no clue if Patsy died, was killed, or what happened, so don't shoot me.)
The girl looked up as Columbia made her way down the stairs. Patsy looked at Columbia, not recognizing her right away, but then it all came back.
"Angel?"
Columbia nodded slowly as she reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Where are the others, no one's here."
"Everyone left, about five or six months ago, it got too dangerous to live here."
"But where did they go? Where did you go?"
"I don't know where the others Mallrats went, but I found my family, my real family. I have a mother and a brother."
"There are adults out there?"
"Yeah, tons and you see that red head up there, that's my twin bro."
At that point, tears were falling down EVREYONE'S faces, yet Columbia and Patsy continued.
"So, he's your brother, he looks like you."
"He's my twin, like you and Paul."
Before anyone could say anything more, explosions erupted from outside.
"The Technos?"
The others watched Pasty and Columbia, as they made that comment. Another explosion soon followed, but this one shook the whole mall.
Hiei piped up, "We gotta go, now."
"Patsy, come with us."
"But the others."
"No one's here Patsy, come with me, you'll be safe."
"But where will I go?"
"You can live with me."
"Really?"
"Yeah, now come on."
Everyone ran from the mall to the dacks, where the boat was waiting and as they all got on, there was one ladt explosion, form where the mall was. The blast took out half of the city. No more Centre City Plaza, no more home, no more Mallrats.
As the boat left the dock that day, a dawn of a new day started for the Mallrat Patsy and the leader of Twilight and Mallrat Angel/Columbia.
Listen to the wind blow,
Look inside,
What does it show?
Time passing so very slow,
I see...
All the tears, All the pain,
Echoes of the past still the same,
The sun shining on all the shame I see...
Dark clouds across the sky,
Children asking why.
Is there hope up above for me?
Where is all the love,
Can that spirit shine within me?
Lighten my life,
Let it be...
The dawn of a new day,
A child is born who will pray?
For hope, peace and love,
What do they say?
I'm in your heart, feel me,
I'm in your soul, believe in me,
Open your eyes and you will see me...
The Gods of time,
Are they yours or mine?
Out of the darkness,
A light will shine...
Shine on me...
The spirit of the tribe,
Is yours and mine...
As they left the city that day, there was a new hope for everyone.
Ok, if you want, you can shoot me.
Yeah, Patsy's gonna be in this from now till whenever. There may also be some appearances of other Mallrats, but for now, things will go back to normal plus Patsy.
Wow, did I drift, I just had to go with the one sentece in the beginning of chapter 1, "Two newborns, a boy and a girl, one to be taken home, one to be given up for adoption. A decision that never should have happened. A decision that altered a destiny."
It starts to make sense doesn't it. So, just go with that and it starts to make more sense.
I'm out.
Lonny
P.S. Anyone notice that my chapters are coming up quicker now and they're getting a little longer. HUZZAH! Makes me so happy.
