Disclaimer: I don't own DNAngel. Cicero F. Kahran and Stefan "Skye Fiinix" Virocci appear c/o Rokuryu Studios. Authors mentioned here belong to themselves. I'd like to thank my reviewers for the plot suggestions and the appearance of more canon charries in this fic.
Author's Notes: I apologize for the delayed updates. I'm kinda losing energy to continue this. School's started and all so I don't have enough time to write. Hmm.. "Of Sues and Sennen Items" isn't as successful as this. Pity.
Hiwatari and the Mary Sue Hunt
The alarm sounded throughout the whole headquarters. Agents pulled themselves out of bed and scrambled for the nearest weapons they could find and prepared themselves for any sort of battle that might have presented itself. Cicero nodded to a few agents who ran by her bedroom door, pulling a handgun from her cabinet. Skye emerged from the kitchen, a spoon in his mouth. "Alright!" he cried. "I admit it! I was the one eating the secret ice cream stash in the basement refrigerator!"
Cicero blinked at her partner as she sped past. "Uh, Skye… this isn't about that." She protested, stopping to pull him out of the kitchen. Skye blinked back. "It's not?" he asked, mentally cursing himself for giving away his little secret.
"Commander! The breach was in sector 4-D!" called an agent.
"…Hiwatari's ward." Cicero realized.
Four agents stood behind the doorway, weapons drawn as one of them assessed the situation. It didn't look good. Satoshi was out of his room and already making his escape. "Hi-hiwatari-kun! You don't need to do this!" Daisuke protested as he struggled from the blunette's grip. Satoshi on the other hand bore a look that was unlike him, one of utter hatred and despair.
"You can't keep me away from my Lily!" he cried to the agents.
"Dude! Snap out of it!" Dri called, peeping from the hallway.
Satoshi merely narrowed his eyes at the agents gathered a good distance from him. He took a step back, climbing onto the windowsill. A hand reached back tentatively, opening said window, cold air blasting into the corridor and throwing dead leaves, and pebbles, dust and what have you at everyone gathered.
"What's the situation?" Cicero asked, coming in behind the other agents. Everyone gathered blinked, not expecting to see their commanding officer dressed in what seemed to be blue pajamas with teeny dragons on them. Cicero cocked her head to the side. "What!" she demanded.
"Not good, huh?" Skye sighed, coming in beside her. "Not good." Agreed another agent. Manic laughter came from the window, calling everyone's attention back to the demented commander and his 'hostage'. "You can't stop me from being with my one twu wuv! 1" Satoshi cried and leaped out of the window.
"One…" Cicero blinked.
"Twu wuv?" Skye asked, right eye twitching.
"We forgot about Daisuke!" called Dri.
"Not a problem." Came a voice from the windowsill. A tall teen stood by the open window, a hand out the window and gripping onto another hand. "Deffie!" Cicero cried, seeing the familiar form of the rebellious punk, purple tipped hair blowing in the wind. With the same smirk, the teen pulled whoever he gripped onto back inside.
As the rest of the agents ushered Daisuke back on his feet, Cicero stared out the window. "What about Hiwatari?" she asked, turning to Defiance. The seemingly older male merely shrugged. "Didn't see him… but I bet she did." He replied, gesturing out the window with a gloved hand.
"What the-?" Cicero demanded, seeing a girl in flight with the Commander in her arms.
Yuri merely slapped her forehead, joining Defiance and Cicero by the windowsill. "Go fig," she groaned. "A Sue from this universe… bound to have an angel of her own." Dri sighed, leaning against the windowsill as loud witchy laughter, rivaling those in The Wizard of Oz echoed throughout the night.
Cicero spun on her heel, turning to the rest of the agents. "Form a strike team. We move at dawn. The Sue's at large with our target." She ordered. Several agents saluted and were about to leave when a bloodcurdling scream followed as an end to the psycho laughter.
"What now?" Cicero groaned.
"Knew it!" Defiance laughed.
"Kurado…" glowered a deep, menacing voice from the end of the hallway.
A flutter of white feathers and a loud oomph later, Cicero and Defiance had Krad pulled into the open window. The blonde smirked, dusting his robes off and making his way to Dark. "Well, well… look what the cat's dragged in…" he smirked, lips curling most evilly. "How go things… Krud?" Dark asked, the same nonchalant smirk reflecting Krad's menacing one. "Rather well, thank you." Krad replied, eye to eye with Dark. One could see the very sparks of rivalry emanating from both 'angels'.
If looks could kill, both would have been dead on the spot. The agents watched the silent war with mute interest, some waving tiny flags that read "Yay Dark" or "Kraddykins forever". Cicero folded her arms across her chest, watching the two in stern silence. "So lemme get this straight.." she finally said.
"You're the one who screamed like a girl…?"
Both Krad and his followers looked appalled.
The smell of mint tea and coffee cake wafted in from the headquarter's concessionaire. The agents had gathered with Krad and Dark, occupying a table to discuss battle strategies. With the excitement over, some of the agents looked as if they indeed were ready to return to bed. Some had fallen asleep leaning against each other, some had falled asleep facefirst into their cake and some others had poured their tea into places other than their mouths and didn't mind.
Some had no problem staying up.
Cicero turned to their newfound guest, pouring tea for him. "So tell me, how and why did you separate from Hiwatari?" she asked, crossing her legs as she slipped into a chair before Krad. "And is it permanent?" K asked hopefully, popping in right beside Krad.
The head agent merely rolled her eyes, amused. "Answer the question." She prompted. Krad's eyes narrowed at the females in the room, taking a sip of tea and setting the teacup down before leaning back in his chair. "The moment I decide to check up on things and there she is, all the pinkness of the world gathered into one being!" he finally gasped, letting out a long breath.
"Pinkness?" Cicero asked, turning to Dark who sat a few chairs after Krad. The other shuddered at the very thought, eyes meeting the agent's. "Can't be as bad as that Sue who claimed to be Dark's sister." Dri laughed.
"Hmm.. yes… what was her name again?" Cicero wondered.
"Light." Yuri laughed.
"Go figure." Skye snickered.
Immediately, Dark looked up. "What!" he demanded. "Moving on." Cicero smirked, turning back to Krad. "Wait a sec here, you mean to say Sues have been after me too?" Dark demanded, clutching Cicero's pajama collar and lifting her from her seat. "Actually, Daaku, Sues are after you everyday. You just don't remember." She grinned innocently. Dark blinked and set the agent back to her seat.
"Now then.." she began, eyes scanning the room.
"We have to find a way to rid ourselves of this sue."
Dark grunted and turned away. "Why don't we just leave him to the Sue. Makes my life easier." He grumbled. "Daaku…" Daisuke silently protested from within the Phantom Thief.
Cicero smirked, watching Dark and his partner. There was something about Daisuke, something that seemed a bit out of place. There was a hint of worry, deep concern, perhaps even more that plagued the boy's heart. The agent merely nodded at Dri, crossing her legs as she leaned back into her seat.
"Ne, Dai-chan…?" she asked.
The redhead turned, his other half subdued for now. His feelings needed to be soothed, something else needed to bring inner calm. "What if I said you are our key to solving this whole catastrophe…? What if I said.." Cicero began, getting up.
"Hiwatari-kun needs you?"
Daisuke turned a shade deep enough to match his hair.
"Will you help us?" Cicero asked. The redhead's reply was barely a whisper, barely audible as he spoke. "Anything for Hiwatari-kun… anything to save him." He replied. The blush remained, even deeper now, it seemed.
The triumphant smirk returned to Cicero's lips.
She HAD found her trump card.
