I don't own Tokyo Mew Mew, nor do I have the right to say that I am legally sane, so I can only say that any one who feels I am out of my mind for continuing this story, THEY'RE RIGHT, but I don't care, 'cause I am quite high on K right now, and fear only that I am trapped within yet another K-hole. ((not true, ladies and gentlemen, I only enjoy using such an excuse after I saw the movie and read the book "Party Monster", thank you))
Devi: Not much happened in chapter 5, huh? And yet it was so long… I have really gotta know where to stop describing stuff…
Pai: For all of our sakes, please do.
Devi: I might just… but we'll just have to wait and see, huh?
Pai: Wonderful…
Devi: OH, and I want to thank Amme Moto for being the first person ((besides for my REAL LIFE friend, Sara)) to review my story! To have such a well know author as you read my story, Amme, and feel my character's pain, I am truly honored! And just to let you know, though she will have a pretty hard time for just over a year… well… eleven months from this point… Amai will still get her break, but I can't say whether or not that's how it's gonna end, because this shocking ending will be ruined if spoiled in the slightest. So your just gonna have to hang on tight! ((And no thanks on the Kish plushie, I'm more of a Pai and Ryou girl –winks-))
Pai: Quit wasting time you frivolous fool…
Devi: -gasps and begins to tear- you bastard! Just enjoy the story guys… I have to go cry now… -runs off, weeping quite loudly-
Chapter 6: A Shell of Her Former Self
Space
Amai looked with great intrigue at the little jellyfish in which Pai held. It was just larger then her fist, with somewhat of a dopy smile. It was made of a blue-like jelly, surrounding a yellow light that flickered on and off slowly. Under a short layer of goo-like skin, there were seven short, stubby legs, which twitched one by one in no particular pattern. The thin antenna atop its head bounced playfully with any slight movement of its own, as well as any sudden, slight breezes.
Holding out his other hand, another, identical little jelly fish sprouted, "These are chimera anima. They will be your allies and partners for your upcoming battle on Earth, but it will take quite a lot of training in order to be found suitable for such a task."
Makie raised her hand, but spoke with out bothering to be picked, "And how long will be 'quite a while?'" she mimicked with a slight giggle.
Pai snarled, "There is simply only one way to find out…" he replied, as with that, Tart and Kish both stepped into the room, both holding an animal. Tart, holding a coyote pup, and Kish, holding a typical house cat.
"I have recently learned that I love cats!" Kish said in a joyful tone.
Makie arched a brow, "Oh… really? Why? They just… lick themselves, right?" she asked, crossing her arms. What did he mean by that, and why did he just suddenly decide to like a simple Earth animal.
"Would you two please bring those creatures to the center of the room?" Pai announced to Kish and Tart, before Makie and Kish's pointless conversation carried any farther.
Tart looked at Kish and stuck his tongue out, "Loser!" the boy giggles as he suddenly began hovering with the pup, over everyone's head. He then landed right behind Pai, "C'mon, I have SOO much more interesting things then this…" he whined.
Kish slowly walked over with a shrug. He had almost forgotten of how Makie and Amai had been pretty much comatose for quite a while, and knew almost nothing of his newfound toy, Ichigo. With that simple though, he smirked as he firmly planted his feet a few feet apart from Tart.
"Now, your training begins…" Pai said, as Kish and Tart stood to his sides. With the finale words leaving his lips, the chimera animas flew from his palms and, one flying into the cat, the other the coyote, both began fusing with the animals, slowly morphing the once tiny, fluffy creatures in hundred-foot-tall beasts, of multiple colors and surprisingly powerful claws and fang.
The three aliens teleported off the field and to the safe side, near the door incase of an emergency escape as the creatures grew until, on all fours, they hovered near stories above Amai and Makie's heads.
With a gasp, Amai staggered back, shivering with freight. Her zebra ears pressed against her head, showing the terror that turned her blood ice cold, "MAKIE! GET BACK!" She shouted as she grabbed the fox girl, who seemed to be more intrigued then scared.
Makie smirked, "Wait! Amai! Something inside is making me feel… feisty… like I can take these punks! I feel overbearing powerful, and not… well… I'm sure as hell not afraid! C'MON!" she called as she was already jumping out of Amai's grip and landed running towards the monsters, fang like-teeth bared.
Amai arched a brow. She felt a completely different instinct. There was this powerful sense of staying together and running. "Makie, please!" she begged, "We can't fight these things!" she cried as her lip began to quiver.
Already dodging the monsters slashes, Makie called back, "THIS IS ACTUALLY KINDA FUN!"
Seeing Amai standing alone, the coyote creature licked its lips as it gave the pursuit of Makie to the cat monster. Within less then a heartbeat, it pounced, its paw raised high in anticipation of ripping the play toy to pieces.
Amai screams and dodged just as the monster's paw landed in the ground, sending debris and dirt flying across the room.
Still, of course, watching from the side, Pai snarled, "The hesitation is bothersome…" he mumbled to himself.
Kish leaned into Pai, arching a brow, "Well, yeah, you kinda just threw'em into that fight, ya know…" he pointed out, holding two golden pendants in Pai's face, "These might help a bit, though… that gives them, as you would say, at lease a 1 chance of living!"
Pai looked at the pendants, than sighed, "If you must…"
"Thank YOU!" Kish replied, as in a poof, he was out in the field, first in Makie's face, "Here you go, foxy!" he quirked, tossing her the pendant as she hoped out a flying cat paw's way of destruction.
Catching the pendant, Makie smirked again, "Thank you… greeny!" she replied, dodging again, as he was then gone in a poof of smoke.
Amai shakily pushed herself, tears of freight rolling down her cheek. She looked up to then find Kish, holding a pendant in her face, "Stripes! Cool it! Trust me, these things are push-overs." he winked as she took the pendant with her unsteady hand.
Kish was then gone as he teleported back next to Pai. "See, that wasn't so hard! I mean… that Amai girl was crying with terror! Geez…" he complained.
Hearing this, Pai narrowed his eyes, "This freight emotion will be useless… and will not me bared…" he replied coldly.
Too chilled to hear Pai tone, Kish just shivered a bit and shrugged, "If you say so…"
Observing the pendant, Amai got back on her feet as, unexpectedly, she was hit with a paw, right to her side, sending her flying sideways. She was then stopped abruptly with the not-so-soft wall, as she slid down on her back, and landed nearly unconscious on the ground. With a moan, she lifted her head to see the chimera anima charging after her. With out a second though, she held up her pendant as words bubbled up from with in her breathless chest.
"Dark Mew Amai, METAMORPHOOOO-SIS!" Amai shouted as she was engulfed by a charge of light.
Amai's body seemed to be glowing, though unclosed, and with a few more flashes of lights and sparkles, she was then standing pretty firmly, and now wearing a costume very much like the girls in the clip Pai had shown. A corset like top, grey, with black frilly linings, with a grey skirt ended it long, ripped, stripe-like triangles, and a layer of black filling it the patches, giving the appearance of black and grey zebra stripes. Her feet were covered with gray leather boots, with more black frills at the tops, which came up to her knees. Around both of her forearms, she now sported two quite puffy, grey armbands, which resembled her choker, which held her pendant.
Amai, still in some pain, looked upon herself and gasped. She had transformed like that pink and blue girl! Like, as Pai said, their enemies. But, before she could conceive a single more thought, the coyote stood near inches from her face, huffing and growling.
Makie watched from the other side of the room as she continued to dodge swipe after swipe, but as she narrowed her eyes to enhance her sight of the whole new Mew Amai, Makie stopped mid-dodge, and was sent flying backwards, as the cat chimera anima head butted her, full power. Landing on her back, Makie sat quickly up to find her pendant quite a few feet in front of her on the ground. She gasped as, in unison with the chimera anima, which ran towards her from in front, jumped for it. Within milliseconds of the monster landing on her head, Makie landed on the pendant, grasping it with her hand as the light engulfed both her and the monster.
"Dark Mew Makie, METOMORPHOOO-SIS!" Makie shouted.
In that flash of light, Makie was suddenly dressed in her own super-hero suit. Her golden top's neckline ran straight across her chest, the only evidence of sleeves are two thin, red straps that hung quite freely from her shoulder. A fur-like red fluff came comfortably for the top, as well was lining the bottom. Both the bottom and top of her skirt is hemmed with the red fuzz-trim, and the main material, like most of her outfit, is a nicely shiny golden, and under the skirt is a tight pair of what appear to be bicycle shorts, of which the skirt is short enough for them to be seen quite often. The red shoes on Makie's feet are very much like ballet slippers, her white leg wraps, which lead from her ankles to her mid-calves, resembling the ties. The golden choker with, of course, red fluff, was an exact match to Amai's, holding her pendant as well. The only thing that really made her mew mew uniform different from any ever know, where her two, long, red ribbons which were like the aliens, seamlessly floating at their own leisure.
Once her transformation was finished, Makie stood almost triumphantly, admiring her new attire, "At least it is MUCH better then those horrid maid outfits… huh Amai?" she shouted, turning her head in the zebra girl's direction. "OH CRAP!" she then cried as Amai came flying into her, both of them flying and bumping painfully into the wall.
Amai slowly rolled off of Makie and found her way to her knees, "Makie… I'm so sorry!" she gasped, one eye partially closed in pain as she held her hand out to help guide Makie to her own balance.
"It's fine! No need for apologies now!" Makie replied with a wink as she slowly climbed her way to her feet, pulling Amai up as well by her hand.
They were now both, together, facing both of the horrid monsters, which were now standing side by side, a near 20 feet ahead of them, sneering and growling in anticipation. To no surprise, they charged towards the mews.
Makie held her hand out as she stepped ever so slightly in front of the cowering Amai, "I really am tired of this… STAFF OF FLAMES!" she cried as a long, wooden wand, with quite enchanting carvings and a glass, red orb at the end, appeared in her hand. With out a second glance at it are the lightest of doubts, she held the orb-tipped wand at both of the chimera animas, "Nighty-night! MAKIE RIBBON BLAZE!"
With that, both of the monsters were then engulfed with a fire-like, golden-red light, and as it slowly cleared, in the place of the huge creatures, rested the quite frightened cat, and an amazingly-calm coyote. Floating quite shakily over the animal's heads were the two jellyfish like chimera anime, both of the shaken, bruised, and quite frankly frightened.
"That was… shameful…" Pai remarked as her hovered downwards between the two earth animals. The chimera anima disappearing quite strangely as he came closer to the two of them, "But there is of course time for the GREAT amount of improvement that has become quite obvious to me…" he said, before the girls could even take in the fact that it was over.
Makie's eye twitched as she lowered her was. Pai was really beginning to get to her, "What do you mean? I just beat them! What more do you want?" she asked in a greatly agitated tone.
"To begin, it to way too long, the Mews of Earth usually takes mere seconds to take on many chimera anima… what is your excuse?" Pai asked, crossing his arms as he landed firmly on the ground.
"Just continue, please."
"Secondly, you, to no surprise, are too easily distracted. That will not come in handy when it comes to battle…"
"Sorry? Now, go on…"
"I am greatly disappointed with your performance above all…" Pai then snarled, turning his attention to Amai as her narrowed his eyes.
Amai, who was still quivering with fear, quickly bowed, "I'm very sorry! I was just… surprised… to be placed into such unbelievable battle so quickly!" she stuttered, slowly standing straight again.
With a now terribly enraged face, Pai raised his chin, "Kish… take Makie to her quarters and make sure she prepares for her work shift…" he shouted in a near growl back to Kish.
Kish, who was at that moment nearly asleep standing/ floating, snapped awake and smirked, "Of course!" he replied with great glee as within two hurried puffs of smoke, Kish was suddenly behind Makie, then, they were both gone.
Just as Kish grabbed her, Makie held her arm out and quickly shouted, "Wait… Am…" but was already gone.
Amai placed her left hand on her right upper arm, looking into the spot that Makie once stood. The teleportation made the hair on her body stand on ends.
Tart slowly floated up behind Pai, his arms behind his head and his legs crossed, "Hey… can I got too?" he asked, almost beggingly in his quite bored tone.
With a nod, Pai remained silent.
"OH, thank GOD!" Tart shouted as in another poof of smoke, he was gone.
That left Pai and Amai alone, in that large room, with no protection from Pai's sudden and truly unexpected rage. Both of the Earth animals wandered around the room, not in the slightest bit disrupting the conversation to come.
"I really am sorry… Pai… I was just so frightened, really… and…" she stuttered yet again, biting her bottom lip.
Cutting her off, Pai floated quickly, right into her face, "It would be more suiting if you were to address me as master…" he said with a snarl, raising his chin, "And I must say that it would be for your own sake to just simply surrender any and all hopes of being as rebellious as that trivial creature." he then went on, referring to Makie.
"Um… Master… Pai… I must reassure you that I would never do anything…. extreme… I'm not…" she tried explaining, attempting to summon all blame from Makie to herself.
He cut her off as he then continued, suddenly grabbing her wrist and drawing her closer, "Don't interrupt. Now, there is no chance what-so-ever of your return to Earth…" His eyes narrowed slowly, as he felt his authority over Amai grow stronger and stronger with ever word "…but if you were to feel that you needed to take matters into your own hands… which I would strongly suggest against… anything, anyone that you ever were close to… family, friends, even the simplest of Earth pets… will promptly pay for your mistakes."
Amai gasped, as, of course, her mind flashed Ryou's image. Pai was being quite forward about how firmly these rules are enforced, and for him to rush them on her, as he did, she felt a sudden pressure on her pack. Within a few seconds of thought, she was then able to realize that if she were to disagree in the slightest, that meant that Ryou would be in danger. However the possibly knew of her life on Earth was beyond her, but she was not at all risking it.
Pai could see his words truly affecting her as he then grabbed her other wrist, "Perhaps it would be in your own interest to simply forget about Earth… and realize your true home and your true calling… here… working for me." He finished, with the slightest of smirks. He had won.
"Yes… Master Pai…" Amai replied, as suddenly, the color of her eyes grew dull as all of her hope slowly slipped from her grasp.
Outside of the Training RoomAfter teleporting in to the hall, Tart stood in front of the front entrance and stretched his arms above his head. Then, with a scratch at his ear, he began down the hall.
"Well, isn't he coming up with a new side, darling…" a sudden British voice come from behind him.
Tart jumped as he spun around, "Geez, Kiken! What is with that… 'lurking?'" He asked as he stuck his tongue out.
Leaning against the wall, next to that large silver doors, Kiken slowly pushed herself away from said wall and placed of her hands on her hip, "Well, darling, I was simply… taking note… of Pai's ability to train a human!" she explained as she floated up behind the little red hair brat and started pulling at both of his ears, "Now… why do you think he is devoting EVER so much time on that little… rag doll?" she then unexpectedly growled. Jealousy at it's ugliest had taken over her, and she was now a ragging bull, "Explain… NOW, if you don't mind, darling…"
