Tae-Tae- Silly Jupiter Adepts. They didn't even know what hit'em. Hey you!
Char- M-me?
Who do ya think? Go bring me some Code Red!
Char- (walks into kitchen) Readers, I think I know how to completely remove Tae from Coatlicue7's system- hypnotism. We'll see if it works. Oh, and Vlman( ) Rae-Rae's original muses are me and Geode. (Hurrying to phone) I need to call Akafubu!
The things terrorizing the village
"I feel stronger since I drank that green stuff," Ivan told Sheba. "What about you?"
Sheba nodded. "Diddo. But it's late and I'm tired. Let's get some more tomorrow." She laid back in her sleeping bag in Isaac's living room. Ivan followed suit.
"Night, Sheba."
"G'night, Ivan." She looked at him and closed her eyes.
"WAKE UP, GUYS!"
Isaac shook Felix and the others awake. "Something's happening outside! And Ivan and Sheba are missing. Look at the door."
Everyone sat up sleepily and looked at the door- or what used to be the door. It looked like it had become a scratching post. There were splinters everywhere and the door was hanging by a hinge with a hole dug through it.
"Whoa," Garet's eyes were wide.
"Some one needs anger management," Jenna said.
"Who did it?" Felix asked.
"Where's Ivan and Sheba?" Mia asked.
"That's what I'm trying to figure out," Isaac replied. "But we should see what's going on outside." But before he could make his way out of the house, a chimera with blonde fur and green eyes jumped in front of him and snarled.
"Where's Ivan and Sheba?" Isaac demanded, unsheathing his sword. Everyone else got their weapons ready. "Piers- you, Jenna, and Felix go see what's going on outside. Mia, Garet, and I will take care of this- um- thing." Piers, Felix, and Jenna went around the thing that seemed content on making Isaac its main course.
"What the heck-" Garet gaped at what he saw. Two more of these chimera- looking things were terrorizing the village. One had blonde colored fur, like the one they'd waken up to. The other had white/gray (let's just call it white to be both) fur. Everyone was running around screaming.
"I'll bet these things ate my dear Sheba!" Felix snarled, whipping out his Sol Blade. Picard closed his eyes and shook his head. "Sheba so does not like you- she likes me."
Felix got in his face. "She doesn't like you! She'd die before you! Plus, who do you think saved her life?"
Piers chuckled. "Ah, my friend, you have a point. But who did she stand beside where old Vale used to be? When you ignored her to give your sister a piggy-back ride? Sheba needs someone who can give her the attention a beautiful young girl needs."
"Guys."
Felix held up a fist threateningly at him. "She needs someone that can protect her!"
"Guys!"
"You don't know what Sheba's needs are. You don't deserve someone as devine and heavenly as her."
"Why I oughta-"
"GUYS!"
Piers smirked at Felix. "Are you gonna hit me? Go on, do it! I need some practice, anyway."
"GUYS!"
Piers and Felix shot their heads in Jenna's direction and answered with a rude, "WHAT?"
"Sheba doesn't like any of you! And in case you haven't noticed, we have some monster butt to kick! If you wanna save her, get rid of those!"
Piers and Felix glared at her a moment, then decided their fight could continue later. They went for the monsters.
The monster with blonde fur stood in front of them, glowering at them with menacing violet eyes. Then it glowed a faint violet light and bunches of rays came from nowhere, shocking(literally) Jenna, Piers, and Felix. Jenna concentrated and unleashed searing beam. Felix and Piers followed suit with stone spire and diamond berg. The violet-eyed beast slumped to the ground. It lay still a few moments before stumbling to its feet. It issued a low, deadly growl. Then, it froze. The monster's eyes went from violet to red and back to violet as quick as they had changed. The chimera ran away, into the wood. The white- furred one took its place and readied to attack. This one had red eyes. It lunged at Jenna, but she evaded and countered with serpent fume. Before it could attack again, it stopped. The eyes changed from red to blue, and it seemed to be shrinking. When it realized this, it bolted away as fast as it could.
Felix frowned. "What a waste..."
Piers chuckled. "Like someone with your abilities could handle it."
It took all of Felix's will to hold back the urge to send him flying over Gaia Falls. "Kiss my ass," he muttered.
"Venus adepts," Piers said under his breath.
"Mars help these two," Jenna threw her arms into the air and headed back to Isaac's house for the night. Felix and Piers ran after her. "Jenna, wait!"
She turned around. "What?"
Felix panted. "Who does Sheba like?"
"Why should I tell you sick love birds?"
"We just wanna know," Piers pleaded.
Jenna turned back around and smirked over her shoulder. "You sure you wanna know?" she asked. They nodded vigorously. She laughed softly. "If you must know, she likes Ivan."
"WHAT?"
"Sheba! Are you okay?" Sheba moaned and sat up, meeting a worried- looking Ivan. She yawned and looked around. Trees. Leaves. Birds chirping to announce that morning had came. They must be in the woods.
"How did we get here?" she asked Ivan.
He shrugged. "I just woke up and found you unconscious. What if we sleep walked here?"
They heard some rustling somewhere around them and clutched each other. "Whose there?" Ivan called. When they noticed they were holding each other, they blushed.
"Uh- I can explain," Ivan started. Sheba shook her head and smiled, thinking about the loving, protective grip Ivan didn't realize he still had her in. It felt good. Warm.
"There's no need to explain, Ivan. No one is around." Sheba looked at him, lovingly. He looked the same. Their faces inched closer until someone interrupted.
"Are you two all right?" came Kraden's voice. He entered the clearing with two glasses of the thick, green liquid from yesterday. "I think I've figured out what this stuff does," he said, handing them each a glass. "It helps you recover strength and feel better."
"I think I'll drink mine later," said a half disappointed Sheba. He had ruined her moment with Ivan.
Kraden shook his head. "No, go ahead, drink it. It will recover your strength."
"Kraden, weren't you the one willing to risk our lives yesterday to try that stuff?" Ivan said.
"You need strength to train," Kraden insisted.
"Train for what?" they asked in unison.
"Oh, um, you never know when you might need to fight a monster off or something."
Ivan and Sheba looked at him a little suspiciously, but then deciding they did feel rather weak, gulped the smoky green stuff down. Ivan jumped up. "I feel great!" He did a few karate moves. Sheba got up.
"This stuff really works, Kraden."
"Excellent," he said. "Now, why don't you two head back home, huh?" he turned to leave.
"Aren't you coming with us?" Sheba asked.
"No. I have some- things to take care of." He disappeared.
"What d'ya think he meant by 'things?' " Ivan asked Sheba. She shrugged.
Jenna was headed to Kraden's house when she heard a conversation going on. She peered through the window and nearly dropped her jaw. "It couldn't be-" she whispered to herself.
"It works, master," Kraden said to the blue-haired man who supposedly sank beneath Mt. Aleph.
"Perfect," came Alex's calm smooth voice. "It's our loss that everyone didn't take this potion, but no matter. Isaac's weakness is the element of Jupiter, anyway. We just need to find the proper bait to lure him in."
Jenna felt a sneeze coming on. She tried to hold it in, but she just couldn't- a loud sneeze escaped from her mouth. Alex and Kraden looked at the window, and Jenna ducked. She would've ran, but she knew she'd seen and heard then. After a few moments passed and nothing happened, Jenna let out a quiet sigh of relief. But it had been too soon. There was a flash of blue light, and Alex stood over her. He smirked.
"It seems my luck is changing," he said. He grabbed Jenna. "Dear Jenna, it's lovely to see you again."
She sneered at him. "Let me go, Alex! What are you up to with Kraden?"
"I can't let beautiful bait go, love," he said.
"Don't call me that! Where's Sheba and Ivan?"
"Feisty one, aren't we, Love?"
"I said don't call me that, dirtbag!"
Alex warped away with Jenna.
(Knocked out)
Akafubu- She should be back to normal when she wakes up.
Char- Thanks, Akafubu. You really are the best witch doctor in Weyward.
Akafubu- 100 coins.
Char- WHAT?
Akafubu- In case you haven't noticed, Char, this was a house call. On a whole other continent. I did not know this- America, you called it?- existed.
Char-(grumbling and giving Akafubu 100 coins) Don't forget to review all of you out there- you owe it to me for getting rid of Tae-Tae. And, as you might've guessed, Felix and Picard aren't too fond of each other.
