S-cry-ed
Chapter 2
"Any word on that Joshua kid?" Sheries leaned back in her seat, crossing her legs. She sighed once and ran a hand through her hair. "maybe I should grow it long again…"
"Nope. Nothing. After Kazuya-" Cougar started to speak, but then Ryuho slammed his hand down on the table.
"Its KAZUMA! Get it right for once you fool!" Ryuho jabbed angrily at Cougar, who looked a little hurt. Ryuho growled and twitched a little, then sat back, folding his arms.
"Wow Ryuho. You really need to calm down. You're extremely high strung." Cougar chucked and sipped from a cup of tea.
"And you are a complete moron who can't even take the time to say someone's name correctly!" Ryuho snapped, glaring over at strait.
"Cougar… You need to calm down as well. All you do is run around and talk so fast we don't understand you!" Urizane burped, then took another bite from a watermelon.
Eilean sighed, and took a bite of his own meal.
"Aren't we getting a new member of Holy?" Cougar looked around. "I heard he's coming in today, and he's really fast."
"I heard it's a she, and she packs quite a punch." Sheries giggled and looked at cougar. "Too bad for you. But Zigmarl is approving of her as we speak. We might get to see em soon." She then placed a finger to her jaw.
"Hopefully we'll meet him or her soon. I'll be able to add them into my newest script!" Unkai smiled wide. "My best work yet."
"You always say that…" Ryuho muttered, grabbing a newspaper and violently opening it. "Useless alter user."
Zigmarl stepped into the doorway. "Ryuho. Come with me. Cougar, you too." He said before turning and walking back down the hallway.
"You feeling better Kimishima?" Kazuma put his hands behind his head and looked over at his limping friend.
"Yeah a little… but still… that attack was so uncalled for. And we lost all those guys. Biff… and Miss Ayasae…" Kimishima looked down and sighed.
"Hey. Are you Kazuma?"
The two stopped and Kazuma looked up. "Yeah. Why do you wanna know?" He asked, looking over the person before them.
The person was a woman, who wore a white cowboy hat over her long brown ponytail style hair. She had rather oddly colored yellow eyes, and a baggy blue tee shirt sat on her chest. A long white skirt appeared from beneath the shirt and flowed down to her knees. She flung the ponytail over her shoulder before saying "My… You're a cute one."
Kimishima looked at the woman, then Kazuma, and for a moment seemed to contemplate the remark. He looked away when Kazuma shot him a look.
"What do you want?" Kazuma cracked his neck. "If you're looking for trouble you've come to the wrong place."
"My name is Vesta. Thanks for asking." She smiled and popped her neck as well. "I've heard a lot about you… and I wanna know if the rumors are true… If your alter really can break anything." She widened her stance a little bit.
"Stand back Kimishima…" Kazuma pushed his friend back a little bit and curled in his fingers. "Let me guess. Your with holy…"
"Am I wearing the holy uniform?" Vesta looked herself over. "No I'm not…" she rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I've got a clean slate… Now, are you up for a fight or not?"
"Sure…" Kazuma smirked. "Why don't you bring out your alter first?"
"With Pleasure." Vesta smirked and removed her hat. Several chunks burst from the ground and Vesta was enshrouded in a multi-colored mist which soon faded. When it did, there stood a white creature. Two feathery white wings were folded over her chest, bird like feet and shins disappeared into feathery legs, and arms that were practically wings came from her shoulders. Feathers, few, yet larger than the others, stuck out around her collar, and her wrists. Her hands were barely visible. The left half of her face that could be seen was black with horizontal white lines running across it. White hair covered the other half of her face. Her yellow eye seemed to stare at Kazuma, unblinking.
"Wow… that's a lot of white." Kimishima chirped before Kazuma's arm formed. The arm seemed to look like nothing compared to the alter before him.
"That's it?" Vesta's voice sounded metal and hollow, which followed with a laugh. "From what I'd heard, I thought it was bigger than that."
"Well its gets the job done…" Kazuma growled and ran forward. "Here I come!"
Vesta kicked off, speeding towards her opponent. "Good. Because here I come as well."
"Shocking First Bullet!" Kazuma spun around, his fin breaking off as Vesta stopped in her tracks. White feathers filled the air, and then a large amount of them disintegrated as his attack went flying off into the air. "What the hell?"
"I've studied your alter Kazuma. Once your fist connects with something, the energy stored from your fin is let off." Vesta giggled. "Its not hard to avoid…"
"I see…" Kazuma clenched his fist. Now he was going to have to grab her, or get so close she couldn't block his attack…
Vesta preformed a back flip and threw open her arms, only Kimishima yelling "KAZUMA LOOK OUT!" made him relies what was happening and raise his right arm. Several feather like daggers stuck into his arm and made him yell out in pain.
"Where did those come from!" Kazuma looked in surprise. They looked like they had come from his enemy… but from where?
"Look Kazuma, at my arms." She pointed, that's when he relized it. Her entire forearms were COVERED with the little daggers.
"That's a lot…" Kimishima whispered, sitting down slowly on a rock to keep weight off his leg. "You shoulda paid more attention Kazuma…"
"hey Shut up!" Kazuma looked back for a moment, then looked at Vesta, who was now in the air. Her wings were spread and her chest was covered in, (take a wild guess) more feathers! "Come down here and fight me!"
"Aww… why? Can't fight in the air? I've seen you do it before." Vesta taunted, swinging lightly on her will in the breeze.
"You're a real bitch you know." Kazuma sneered, taking a couple steps forward. His right arm ached something serious. But he had a plan for them.
"Why yes. And for a dollar more, I come with a side of fries and a medium drink!" she joked. "its so much fun playing with you Kazuma.. I might as well come down." Vesta folded her wings and then began to fall.
They watched then as right before hitting the ground, her wings spread and the ground cracked under her. There was a little yellow light coming from the crack. She was holding a metal end of the light. It was a blade! There was another on her left side.
"So… hiding weapons from me?" Kazuma cracked his neck and ran forward.
Vesta looked up at him and drew up the blade, it cackled with electricity and she whipped it towards Kazuma, who spun past it. "oh no…"
"I GOT YOU NOW!" he broke off the next fin and ripped the daggers from his arm, hitting Vesta in the chest with his attack and sending her flying backwards. He followed up by throwing her daggers back to her. "Here ya go!"
Vesta gasped and looked down at her chest once she landed. Her feathers were stained with a crimson colored fluid. She obviously knew what it was. "So you're going to kill me too…? Just like my brother!"
"Kill your brother? What are you talking about woman?" Kazuma perked his eyebrows. "I haven't killed anyone…"
"LIAR!" Vesta screamed. "You killed Emergy in cold blood and I know it! DON'T TRY TO HIDE IT FROM ME!"
"Emergy? You're Emergy's sister?"
"Yes. I'm Vesta Maxfell. The Demon alter…"
((and yes, if you've played devil may cry 2, which I pray that you didn't… that game was absolutely horrible…, then you'll recognize her alter… that was the only good part of the game, the devil triggers.))
