Chapter Six: Hey, McDonalds really IS bad for your health!
Shizuka Takai was bored.
She had been sitting in the same booth at McDonalds for over an hour. After she finally got her turn in the shower, they landed. Unfortunately for her, this town had a rather large mall, and the others had immediately run off to shop until it was time to meet the new girl. She fidgeted a bit and sighed. The door opened and she didn't bother to look up, thinking it was just another customer, but jumped when someone put their hand on her arm. She tuned and saw Myou standing next to her. After she moved over to let her sit, she began munching on her fries again.
"Hey Shi! Why didn't you go shopping with us?"
"Eh...I don't exactly know my way around these American malls. Besides, I left my money on the plane." Myou laughed and held a bag over at Shizuka.
"Well, I got you something..." The other girl said, but before Shizuka could see what it was, the others returned.
Star pulled up outside of the McDonalds, and vaguely wondered why these people wanted to meet here of all places, but quickly dismissed the thought. She slowly made her way to the front, and once inside, began looking around, trying to see if she could spot them. From the way the letter was written, she assumed she'd be looking for people dressed for business. What she found was certainly a surprise.
"Tynstara Espisito?" She turned quickly and came face to face with a tallish man with blonde hair. While she'd been expecting a stiff suit, what she got was a mix of punk and goth. He grinned cheekily and motioned to a table that had more people that she didn't expect to find. "I'm guessing by the way you spun around that I was right. I'm Nichel Telkner, but you can call me Nich." They reached the table and he sat, motioning to the place across from him. Star ended up sitting next to a female with long blonde hair that had red and black streaks in it. Once she was comfortable, he motioned to the others. "These are my associates. The man next to me is Tobias Maxwell, and on the other side of him is Durgil. Next to you is Maurilla Ignatus, joined by Shizuka Takai and Myou Naito." Star nodded a greeting and smiled.
"Well, I am Tynstara Espisito, but most call me Star." She opened her mouth again to ask another question, but Nich interrupted her.
"Ah, yes, the reason you are here. Well, as I'm sure you've heard, a man named Lync Syam has decided he wants to try his hand at World Domination. Apparently, his style is 'shoot to kill, then rule and empty planet'."
"Yes I have heard, but why does this concern me?"
"Well...you're a witch. In fact, you're a very powerful one. And, of course, the armies of the world are no match for Lync. So we decided to take matters into our own hands. What you see here is The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. And we would like you to join..."
Ro Shen and Sakura Michi watched the small group of people talk animatedly from a window. Ata and Atsu where sitting in a booth next to the League, and Kazuki was in a both on the other side. Tarah stood at one door, while Ro and Sakura stood at another. They waited patiently until Kazuki gave them the signal to attack. They watched him closely, as he discreetly leaned into the other table to hear them. After about five more minutes of waiting, he gave a small nod and reached into his jacket, pulling out a gun. Another nod had everyone else reaching for their own weapons. At the third nod, chaos erupted.
One minute Durgil was laughing, and nodding at the newest member, the next she had been thrown to the ground. Looking over, she noted the large bullet hole in her left shoulder. Before she could sit up, a pair of finely made black leather boots were right in front of her. Slowly raising her head, she was met with a cold, brown-eyed stare. The man spoke softly while rasing his gun and aiming at her head. "Alas, that such beauty should die is such a shame. Farewell, love. We might have made a good team..." But before Kazuki could fire, his eyes went wide. He made a small choking sound, and slowly turned. Behind him stood Myou, her clawed hand covered in his blood. Once the man fell, she easily scooped Durgil up and ran through one of the windows in the direction of their hotel.
Tobias watched Durgil fall, and immediately sank into the shadows of the table. He watched as Myou killed Durgil's attacker, and then as she ran off clutching the fallen girl, before he made his move. Sliding out from under the table, he slunk through the shadows, right behind the red haired woman. Jumping out from the wall, he swung for the back of her head, but immediately gave a yell and shrank back when she turned and thrust a flashlight right into his face. "Ha! I know your weakness boy! Light!" She ran him into the wall, and because of the pain, he apparently forgot to sink into the shadow. Taking a risk, he pulled a gun out of the front of his coat and blindly fired. He heard a shriek from the woman, and a cry of "My leg! Oh god, my leg!" and smirked. Concentrating, he sunk back into the wall, waiting patiently for the melee to end.
Shizuka was currently engaged in a lovely battle with the twins, Ata and Atsu. She flew around the room, gracefully and silently striking them with blows that would kill any normal human. The twins matched her blow for blow almost, but when she sent Ata crashing into the counter head first, very effectively knocking him out, Atsu seemed to get bigger. "Stupid bitch! I'll kill you for that!" he swung his sword down, and right when it looked like Shizuka was about resemble the headless horseman, she blocked the blow and smirked in his face.
"Like I haven't heard that one before!" she shoved him backwards and swung at him, but missed. Atsu's next move cost him his life...
Maurilla watched in amusement as Shizuka and Atsu battled. Atsu swung, and barely missed Shizuka, but cut off a nice sized chunk of her hair. Shizuka's face twisted in rage and she threw her sword down, throwing herself at Atsu and Surprising him. She knocked him down and sat on his stomach, repeatedly punching his face. Every punch was punctuated by an angrily spoken word. "Nobody messes with my HAIR" each word was accented with a punch. A cracking sound followed the last strike as Atsu's neck broke beneath her small hands. She smiled and stood, turning and walking towards Maurilla. Once there, they both turned again to see how Star was fairing. Maurilla grinned and held a small red envelope-looking thing out to Shizuka.
"French fry?"
Star wasn't doing too badly, so she thought. She easily dodged Ro's vines. She knew he wasn't a witch, and just guessed that he was some type of earth demon. She countered the attack with a small burst of flame; cursing the fact that small was all she could do concerning fire and earth. Luckily for her she didn't have to worry too much longer about that. Ro was suddenly flung backwards, and slammed into the wall. Not bothering to look for whatever force did that, she turned and found Ata, awake and angry. He flew towards her with surprising force, but was blown backwards, this time by a large gust of wind sent by Star. He flew out a window and rolled away, and apparently this was some sort of signal to the remaining attackers. They quickly fled as well, but not before grabbing the bodies of Kazuki and Atsu. Star looked around and smiled. "So that is what we'll be doing?"
"Yep." Came the casual reply from Nich. Star's grin widened.
"That was fun..."
PsychoGod: sorry ya'll, it sucks, I know. But at least I finally finished it! Dances now, to work on chapter seven! Runs away
