Tides of Change: Chapter Nine
Adaptations
Red Witch, thank you for your continued support, and I'm sorry I didn't put something like this up earlier. I should be dutifully keel-hauled for it!
Todd: Louder!
Alright! Jeez! Every time you update I squeal loudly and try to ration the chapter out. Never works, but still! Please continue your top notch work with Evolution XMJ/Cry Havok and I'll try and get this finished! Oh and RogueFan, Can I have that chair back now?
Light. Bright light. This is familiar...
"She's waking up." A voice said. Distant.
"Good." Tapping. Loud tapping.
Jenny opened her eyes, and shut them again. The light hurt her eyes, not surprising as it was like, three feet from her face. She reached up and grabbed at it. Her hand collied with nothing. Jenny groaned and tried to sit up, not a good idea as it turned out. The room swam around her.
"Keeki!"
Something with long, long, long green hair was leaning towards her, it's face not three inches from her own.
"Ahaaah!" JL skittered backwards, which did no favors for her head.
"Ah Miss Jenny-Lynn. So glad you could join us."
A man was standing outside of the room she was in. Thick electricity covered bars separated him from her-
"Keeki!"
And what was apparently her cell mate. Two floppy turquoise dogs ears came out of the things head, and were now drawn back as the thing growled at the man. Just who was this #)#($ anyway?
"I am Brother Blood." He said. Well that was one mystery down, "And you are in my fortress."
"Blah blah blah blah blah. That's pretty much where he's gonna stop telling you all the useful info." A girl in a cell across from her leaned back against the wall, her long blond hair was practicly a mane. She rushed it over her shoulder. "Old 'Sideburns of Steel' here just loves his little speeches." She nodded at the girl. "Name's Ariella," she said, "What's yours?"
Brother Blood glowered at Ariella. Ari stuck her tongue out at him.
"I believe I was talking, Miss Creed." He said in a calm voice that promised a storm if she didn't stop.
Ari put on a face of mock surprise. "You were?" she said. She started clapping. "Good for you!"
Blood's human eye closed and he took a deep breath. Ariella hadn't been to pleased when she and her twin brother where brought here, and she let Blood know on every occasion. Ariella was a shape shifter, but had less trouble changing into animals than she did with humans. Her brother, Jay, was Phono-Kinetic, meaning he could manipulate sound. The drones had had quite a time trying to capture them. Jenny couldn't help but giggle at the impromptu floor show taking place. Ari grinned.
"Thank you! Thank you! We also do Bat-mitzvahs and large family get-togethers!"
Brother Blood sighed. Was it really worth this?
"Mr. Grumpypants will be juggling later on, just as soon as he passes in front of the Starrs cells. Be sure to see it!"
Blood beat a hasty retreat, let the girl tell her where she was. The thing next to Jenny got down on the floor and blew a raspberry after him.
"Keeki!"
Ari waved at the thing, "Hey Keeki, didja like the show?"
Keeki was a girl of about Jenny's hight, her long stick-straight green hair was dull from dust and dirt. She had pale orange skin and a odd face that jutted out slightly like a dogs. A set of what looked like fakey Vampire fangs hung out of her mouth. Keeki snickered.
"Keeki Keeki, Kee Kee Ki Ki!" she said.
"Well thank you!" Ariella said, then she looked back at Jenny. "Hey Kee's, the new kid won't tell me her name, wanna see if she'll talk to you?"
Jenny snapped out of her revere, "Oh! Sorry, I got distracted. My names Jenny-Lynn."
Keeki jumped up on the cot beside her, sniffing at the air around JL. Just what she was doing she never disclosed. The dog like mutant got right in her face and said in a quiet voice, "Keeki."
"Uh..." Jenny said.
Ariella looked over. "Don't worry, Keeki's relativity harmless, she only bites you once."
Jenny panicked, "Pardon?"
Ari sighed. "Keeki's a Mutant who's mutation caused her to look like this, and for some reason she can only say Keeki, which I understand is Japanese for Cake."
"Hai. Eigo dewa Keeki o 'Cake'."(1) Someone in the cell to the left of JL said. The speaker looked in through the window. His face covered in red fur, and appeared to be of oriental descent. "Ohio Jenny ! Welcome to Heck!" A hand with the same colored fur reached through, "I'm Manchu, but call me Mike. Everyone else does."
Jenny took the hand, and shook it hesitantly. "Hi." She said in a small voice.
"Keeki here has a, err, less battle worthy power and more of an insanely useful one." Mike said, indicating the girl. Keeki wrinkled her nose at him, "If your willing to take the serum, you can understand any language from anywhere. And you'll never get a cold again!"
Jenny blinked. A few hours ago she was peacefully sleeping in her bed without a care in the world. Now she was who knows where sharing a cell with a girl who looked like an Anime reject. Keeki smiled at her, revealing not one, but two rows of sharp, canine-like teeth.
"What's the serum?" she asked.
Keeki's grin grew wider, and without warning she clamped down on Jenny's hand with her eight front teeth.
"YEOW!" Jenny jerked her hand back, rubbing it and looking at the dogish mutant with horror.
"Keeki." Keeki said, "Kee ki keeki kikikikikee ki." She offered her a apologetic smile.
Jenny blinked, "So, what, I can understand you now?" she asked.
Keeki shrugged. "Keeki ki." Her ears pricked up, a sad look on her face, "Kee." she said.
Two guards came down the hall bodily carrying another Mutant by his arms. The boy was struggling violently, trying to free his arms that where crossed and tied behind his back. He stopped trashing for a second, panting heavily and trying to catch his breath, his two-toned hair framing his face for a second and showing off his eight-sided blue star birthmark. Ace Starr, also know as Wildstar, was the long lost cousin of Craig and Paul, that had, until recently, managed to ovoid capture. Gifted with and advanced healing factor, strength, enhanced senses and what most people dubbed 'Laser Claws', he had been at the top of Brother Bloods collection list for sometime now. Seventeen Drones had been sacrificed to bring the feral Mutant in, and Wildstar wasn't done yet. All he needed was a distraction.
Ariella growled. She'd be dranned if they where taking another one, not if she could help it.
"Hey Dipsticks!"
The guards turned to her cell to see a huge nightmare creature roaring at them. It only distracted them for a moment, but a moment was all Ace needed. In the metal cuffs that bound his arms, ten points of bright blue energy suddenly flared into being. Using his strength and claws, he managed to rip the dampener off. His arms flew up and knocked the guards away from him, one landing on the bars on Jenny and Keeki's cell, the other flung against the field that marked the end of Ari's. Dropping to all fours, his toned Leonine body pumped as he bolted for the door. As much as he would like to spring the other mutants, it was impossible at the moment.
"He's getting away!"
Four guards ran after the escaping teen, aiming their guns at his retreating back. Ari's nose wrinkled as the scent of burning flesh assaulted it.
"Ya know, somebody really should move this moron." she commented casually. Jenny tried not to barf as she watched the man writhe.
Ace ate up the ground between him and the door. The soldiers opened fire on him, trying to tag the mutant. Wildstar snarled and zig-zagged, weaving in and out of the rain of darts. He was within a few feet of the door when two more guards blocked his escape.
Gotta think gotta think...
An idea formed in the back of his head. Smirking, the Feral Mutant sped up, and at the last second flipped on his back and slid underneath them, aiming a good solid kick at them in the process. The guards collapsed, temporarily blocking the mercenaries paths.
"Sayonara sweet heart!" he crowed, casting a look over his shoulder, "We will not meet again!"
Jynx groaned and pulled the pillow down over her head. Someone was knocking on the door, and she needed the sleep.
"Go away Mammoth!" She yelled, "If you watched 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' instead of studying tough luck!"
"Who's Mammoth?" Someone asked.
Jynx's eyes shot open. The voice was young, not a baritone, and charming. Not Mammoth then. She threw off the covers and reached for the light. She didn't really need it, the Cat's eyes weren't just for show, but she might need that advantage later. Then she saw the other pair of glowing eyes, their reflective surfaces like two miniature moons. Her hand dropped, so much for advantage. The stranger held up his hands in the universal 'Look I'm Not Carrying A Big Weapon' gesture. Jynx sat on the bed, glaring at him.
"My names Ace Starr." the Boy said, "I come in peace."
Jynx narrowed her eyes.
"Seriously. I'm only in here because there's some freaky robots after my head or something." he said, still keeping his hands up, "I won't hurt you."
"Sha, if I were you I'd be the one worrying about getting hurt." Jynx scoffed. "I've got a head full of spells and I'm not afraid to use them!"
Ace sighed, "Look, as soon as their gone I swear on my Kiss CD's that I'll leave you in peace. I'm just trying not to end up in an auction."
Jynx blinked. "What auction?"
Wildstar gave her a look, "The slave auction? In a few days? Worlds biggest villains coming for their ultimate DNA? This a-ringin any bells?" She shook her head. "You don't know, do you? The news has been all over the streets for weeks! Mutants and Meta's without protection have gone into hiding! Not that it's doing much good. Those walking trashcans got an upgrade. They move faster than anything I've ever seen, 'cept maybe that Misfit Quicksilver."
Jynx recoiled in horror. "But how'd you end up here?"
"It's being held in your basement girl. You tell me."
In a cliff miles away a tall letter T was built into the side of the rock. Inside that building, a very Irate prince of Atlantis was storming down a hall. Aqualad was about ready to assassinate a certain Red-head archer, and he was pretty sure the feeling was mutual. His gloved fist hit the door with the words 'Speedy' scrawled across it. Aqualad could hear sounds of video games echoing inside the room, mixed with muffled curses as the occupant of the room lost.
"Speedy! Speedy open up!"
"Hold your horses!" A teen yelled. "I just defeated the Blarg boss of level eleven!"
Aqualad growled and shoved the door open. He walked inside and nearly gagged. While his own room was no-where near immaculate, Speedy's put a garbage dump to shame. Dirty laundry, including less desirable articles, littered the floor. A couple of dog-eared posters where stuck to the wall with spare arrows, Aqualad could see the holes where he had repeatedly took the Ammo out for dealing with criminals. Speedy himself was seated in front of a barely visible entertainment center, from which only the screen of the TV and a game console where visible. Controlling a pixelated hero was Speedy, his tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth as he jerked his body wildly, as if it would somehow help his gaming ability. Aqualad gingerly stepped over a set of socks that looked almost fossilized.
"Did you draw this?" He asked angrily, waving the offending piece of paper around. Speedy ignored him, still trying to steer his character to the goal. "Speedy? Speedy!"
Aqualad sighed, and did the unthinkable. Turned the console off.
"What? NO! AMAZON SAMI!" Speedy screeched. "YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED HER!"
"Yes, I killed the stripper. Bo-hoo." Aqualad said bluntly, staring at a point beyond and just above Speedy's shoulder.
In an instant a ice arrow was drawn and ready to impale the Alantican skull.
"Take. It. Back." The young archer snarled in a low voice. "Take. It. Back. NOW."
Aqualad blinked, then grinned evilly. "Okay, I take back what I said about Amazon Sami." He said, backing towards the door, "She's not a stripper."
Speedy lowered the bow, panting heavily. Aqualad had reached the door, and was now tensing his muscles for a mad sprint.
"She's a whore!" and with that, the aquatic teen ran ran for his life.
Speedy's eye twitched. Then, grabbing his quiver, he ran after his rival/teammate. He took out a bomb arrow, aiming at the corner where Aqualad was turning.
BOOM!
Make that the corner where Aqualad was. The black haired aqua-kinetic had long since dashed down the hall.
"GET BACK HERE AND DIE LIKE A MAN!" Speedy yelled, battle fever clawing it's way up his eyes.
"FAT CHANCE!" Came the distant answer.
Speedy unsheathed another arrow. He had to head the cretin off before he got to the twin pools in the living room. Once Aqualad got in the water he couldn't touch him, both literally and figuratively. Bumblebee would kill him if he froze them again. He took a short cut, passing the super fast twin Mas and Menos on the way.
"Hey guys!" He shouted a hello as he ran past.
"Es él aceptable?" Menos asked his twin.
"No, por qué usted pide?" Mas replied, "Adelantado, déjenos van consiguen algunos nachos."
Menos nodded happily and grabbed his twins hand. The brothers where gifted with super-speed only when they where touching. Usually they took turns carrying one another on their backs. Both where the shortest members of either Titans team, and didn't really seem to care to much.
Speedy sniffed the air like a predator hunting it's prey. It didn't work, but if the infidel was close by it would add to the effect. Something moved in the corner of his vision. Without even thinking, he whipped out an arrow and trained it at the spot.
"Okay Aqua-dork." he said calmly, "Take it back and I won't turn you into swiss cheese."
"Care to repeat that?" Bumblebee asked.
Bumblebee was the only female member of Titans East, and also happened to be the leader. Like the hero Wasp of the Avengers, she could shrink in size, fly, and fire bolts of electricity. She was African-American and darn proud of it, and seemed to like being the leader. She was also the only person in the galaxy that Speedy had learned to fear.
"Uh, uh, uh..." The red-headed archer stuttered and lowered his bow, trying to think of an excuse.
Bumblebee tapped her foot. "I'm waiting." she said.
"We're, uh, playing a, um, combat game!" He said, "Yes! Brilliant! Cyborg and Beast Boy suggested it! They do it all the time!"
He neglected to mention that they did it when Beast Boy stole Cyborgs game collection and ran screaming through the house with Cyborg in a battle rage on his heels. Raven, Robin, and Starfire had eventually managed to get them to stop by duck taping them to the celling. Just how they did it still remains unclear.
Bumblebee was no fool. She knew that Speedy was making this up, but sometimes it just didn't pay to be smart.
"Okay, fine. Just don't destroy the place. Again." She sighed as her teammate ran off. "It's days like this I wonder why I ever left H.I.V.E." she said, "I had a roof over my head, a goodish school," An explosion and maniacal laughter shook the base, not an easy feat considering that it was anchored in rock, "And my favorite, someone else had to deal with the loons." She sighed again. "I need girl talk."
Aqualad dashed towards the pools, only a few more feet. Speedy appeared on the balcony above. The lack and blue blur streaking across the floor caught his eye and in a flash a trail of arrows where following Aqualad. Years of training took over and Aqualad dropped to the floor and rolled out of the way. Speedy's home made Ammo followed him. Aqualad's eyes flashed blue as he extended his power into the water in front of him, creating a large ball and flinging it at Speedy. The brightly costumed teens masked eyes got huge as he just managed to dodge the hydro-missile, right before it burst and covered the upper floor in water. Speedy gave a surprised yelp as the substance soaked him to the skin. He recovered just in time to see Aqualad dive into the left most of the pools. Cursing, Speedy scrambled to his feet and aimed a arrow at the watery-shadow. He narrowed his eyes and shot it.
Aqualad dove into the welcoming water, thinking he was home free. This assumption lasted about three seconds. Something hit his back hard. The arrow, upon meeting it destination, immediately released it's metal tentacles, effectively snaring the teenager in a trap. Cursing the day Speedy was born, and, more accurately, the dipstick who gave him the idea for tentacle arrows, Aqualad sank to the bottom and waited for Bumblebee to realize he was missing. Since he could breathe under water, the only immediate threat was that he could die of boredom.
Speedy snickered triumphantly on top of the balcony.
"GOT YA FISH BOY!" he yelled, looking for all the world like a Peter Pan that had found some hair dye. His gloating was interrupted, however, as the large screen behind him flicked to life.
"Is this a bad time?"
Speedy turned around to see Robins head on the wall, staring at him. Behind him where Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and a Black haired kid that looked like he had seen better days.
Speedy grinned manically. "Actually, it couldn't be better for me." He said. A huge geyser of water fountained up behind him. "I'll go get Bee."
"You do that." Ravens monotonous voice said. Her eyes traced the angry path of the geyser, which was already dieing down.
Speedy returned with his less-than-happy leader, who was dragging Mas and Menos by their ears. She dropped them in their chairs at the table and glared at them.
"...And I never NEVER want to hear the word 'Guacamole' in this base again! Is that clear?" They nodded, pulling nearly identical faces at her when she turned to the screen. "Hey Robs!" she said, "What can the fearless defenders of Steel City do for you?"
"You can help us get his sister back." Robin said. The black-haired boy waved. "This is Todd Hayden. His sister, Jenny," A small picture (taken from her year book) appeared in the corner, "She's been kidnapped by Brother Blood."
"Didn't we put him in jail?" Bumblebee asked, "I thought the tin man wanna-be was out of commission! No offense Sparky." She added, looking at Cyborg.
The former athlete rolled his eyes. "I wish you wouldn't call me that."
She grinned, "Whatever you want Sparky." she said, "You want back-up Robin? You got it. The Titans East are packing their bags as we speak. Where do you wanna meet?"
"Our tower. One hour." Robin said, "Tell Aqualad. Robin out."
Bumblebee blinked as the screen went blank. "Just where is Aqualad anyway?" she asked.
Speedy whistled in what he thought was a nonchalant way, and of course told Bumblebee all she needed to know.
She sighed, "I don't want to know. Just go untie him or whatever and meet us in the garage."
Speedy paled. To untie Aqualad he'd have to dive down to the bottom of the pool. Aqualad's own element. He gulped. This was not going to be fun.
It had happened in less than a minute.
Two minutes after Angelica had called Piotr up, Roadblock had stuck his head out the back door and said that they where going to the X-mansion. Lance and Todd had gotten up and had a race towards the house, Todd winning due to the fact that he could cover up to five feet in a hop, when Lance had suddenly screamed and collapsed on the ground.
"Lance? Lance!" Todd turned and hopped rapidly back to his buddy, "Lance, talk to me Lance!" The Geo-Mancer didn't respond, "Oh man, Low Light! Roadblock! Spirit! He's having an attack!"
The ground started to shake violently as Todd ran for help. Lances attacks where few and far between, but where renowned for their ferocity.
Lances eyes rolled back in his head as his body jerked sporadicly. The earth was screaming.
Eons. For eons the rock far, far underneath him had gone undisturbed, calmly whiling away the years. And now it was screaming. It was screaming so loud. The pain was to much for the young quake-starter to handle...
"Young one? Can you hear me?"
Spirit's calm voice penetrated Lances ears. He groaned, the only answer he felt he was able to give at the moment, trying to convey how glad he was that his father was there. Two years ago, almost to the day, Magneto had viciously beat and left Lance for dead in the desert, the then location of his headquarters. Lance had managed to escape and wandered the desert with nothing but the Coyote and constant hallucinations for company. By pure luck he had collapsed right in the path of a Native-American member of G.I. Joe, Spirit. Ever since then, the two where family, one that Spyder had eventually joined. A warm hand put itself on his bare shoulder, and Lance tried to lean his head on it. Another stopped him.
"Do not attempt to move Lance. Your body was put under allot of stress and you need your rest."
He tried to comply, opening his eyes slowly.
The where in the X-mens medical wing, for some reason. Most of the Misfits where in the room, Freddy and Wanda where outside the glass door, apparently standing guard. One or two X-men (Rouge, Tabby, Jamie and Kitty) where standing just beyond them, looking in. Jamie saw his eyes open and waved, giving the person he had deemed one of his older brothers a half-hearted smile. Tabby and Rouge pointed at him and started talking to the two Guards, while Kitty didn't even ask permission and just phased through both the guards and the door.
"LANCE!"
Kitty practically threw her self on him, sobbing with relief. None of the handlers tried to take her off. Outside the door Freddy made a move to go in, but Wanda stopped him, shaking her head. She said something and the giant backed down.
Kitty clutched at Lances sheet, as he didn't have his shirt on, burring her face in his chest.
"Your okay!" she moaned, "Your okay."
Lance looked at Spirit, who just shook his head and smiled.
"Was it really that bad?" he croaked, putting an arm around her. She nodded fervently, still holding onto him like a life preserver.
"Kid, you took out the whole Garage." Low Light said. "Which turned out to be a good thing because Shipwreck here had a stash in it." the Sniper hit the former sailor with his hand. Shipwreck rubbed the back of his neck and glared at Low Light.
"The whole shebang went Ka-pow!" Roadblock said, "You mind telling us what happened now?"
Lance tried to shift his position, but Kitty and a stern glance from Spirit stopped him. He sighed, "It's hard to explain. Really hard." he said. "The best way I can put it is..." his forehead wrinkled, "...the earth was screaming."
Something was happening outside in the hall. Tim came running up, a scared look on his face. He shouted something at Rouge , pointing in at Lance and then down the hall. Rouge asked him something. He shrugged, very much panicking. He made a motion and ran down the hall. Rouge ran away after him, pulling off one of her gloves in the process. Tabby shoved her way into the room.
"Okay first of all, if you EVER pull something like that again Rocky, I will personally kill you. Second, whatever happened to him, is happening to Amara!"
"So I'll meet you back here in an hour." Kim said. She, Bonnie, Ron and Rufus where standing on the corner. Kim and Ron where taking the bus home, while Bonnie was driving her car. After Bonnie had found out about Kim, they had agreed to meet at the chess club after school. Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"You've said it like six times." She said, "What, are you afraid you'll forget?"
Kim took in a deep breath. Bonnie may have been crying after Kim very nearly punched Brick out, but she had regained her composer directly after.
"Yeah, that's me." She said, "I can barely remember a thing."
"Like that one time you where supposed to meet us for 'Attack of the Radio Active Turkeys 2: Gobblors Revenge'?" Ron asked.
"Uh, yeah." Kim said, "Like that." She neglected to mention the fact that she thought the Radio Active Turkey movies where supremely stupid, and would rather be dragged through flaming walls of rabid Rattlesnakes by her toes than watch another one.
"Relax Kimmie." Bonnie said, "I'll be here."
"Whatever." Kim got on the bus. Ron gave Bonnie a wave.
"See ya soon Bon-Bon!" he yelled.
Bonnie tried to keep from blushing with embarrassment. Ron was the one person on the planet that she would let call her that, why she didn't know. It wasn't like she had a crush on him or anything. She walked to her car, a cherry red convertible that her step-father had brought her for her birthday, and climbed in. The drive home was uneventful, and seeing as the author can't come up with any emotional soul searching to fill in the gap, we're just gonna skip ahead to when she reached home. Bonnie parked the car in the drive-way, leaving her keys in the lock and grabbing her back pack she opened the front door.
"Mom? Mom I'm home!" She said, The inside of the house was unexpectedly dark. "Jeez Mom, turn some lights on would ya?" she asked, flicking the light switch.
"Hello Miss Rockwhiler, so nice to meet you! Your mothers done nothing but talk about you."
A young man with an English accent was reclining on the couch. His wild brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail and his legs were crossed. Bonnies mother was bound and gagged in an easy chair across from him, her eyes screaming for her daughter to get away. Bonnies legs moved of their own free will, propelling her back towards the door. Half-way there her face hit metal where there shouldn't be any. A Drone shimmered into view, it's head tilted down towards her. Before she could react it had grabbed the back of her shirt and lifted her into the air, like a mother cat with her Kitten.
The boy on the couch tutted. "Now that's hardly very polite Miss Rockwhiler." He said. "Running off and leaving your guests on their own? Drone 1343, make sure she doesn't try that again."
The Drone clicked in confirmation, still holding the girl about a foot off the floor. The boy leaned forward, studying Bonnie intently. In a certain light, she almost looked like...
"I believe introductions are in order." He said, "Seeing as I have the advantage over you. I am Vincent James, also known as Virus." He held up his hand. Bright green lines started traveling up and down it, going faster and faster as his skin color changed from Caucasian to midnight black, making it look like a shadow with binary code all over it. "If your smart you'll call me the latter." He said, "I, like you, am I mutant. Although unlike you I have excellent control over my powers."
"I-I don't know what your talking about." Bonnie said.
He smirked. "Puh-leeze Miss Rockwhiler. I've had this place under surveillance since the beginning of the month. Even since your school nurse took some of your blood for that little test. You really should thank me you know. I've kept your little secret from the public for quite some time now. Your Mother over here certainly did." He said, leering at Mrs. Rockwhiler. Suddenly He clapped his hands. "We could keep this going on all day but I have things to go and people to track down like rabid warthogs. So we'll just get you loaded into the car and be off."
"Like fun you will!" Bonnie said, struggling to free herself from the Drones grip.
He sighed, why couldn't they just give up? "Now, I am willing to make you a deal. You come with me quietly and I'll leave your charming family in one piece." A knife shot out of his sleeve and pressed against the frightened womans through.
Bonnie palled considerably, this Vincent guy meant business.
"D-don't hurt her." she said. "I'll come." The knife didn't move. "I'LL COME!"
"Wonderful. Bloody wonderful." he said. "Drones," Three more of the Robots appeared out of nowhere, "Take Miss Rockwhiler to the car and guard her well. Mr. Blood wants her in top condition for the auction. I'll only be a minute."
Bonnie was lead out of the house, her head drooped, tears streaking down her face. She was taken out back to a Limo, well hidden in the bushes, and sat between two Drones. Virus came out a few moments later, straightening his professional looking leather coat and climbed into the Limo across from Bonnie. He sat and stared at her almost hungrily as the car (Driven by a Drone with a holographic shield) pulled away from her home. As they sped off down the road, Bonnie didn't even turn around to see her house just starting to catch fire.
To Be Continued...
(1) I think this
means 'Yes, in English Keeki means Cake' I'm not sure though. I'm just
learning Japanese, so if I just told anyone out there to go and stick
their heads in a pig then I apologize.
Ahem, I'd like everyone to know that no Muses where hurt in the making of this chapter, Except for Shipwreck. And he hardly counts.
Shipwreck: HEY!
Look, I'll write a StormWreck or something later, okay? Right after this is done and I finish the Gizmo toucher.
Well, It took me a while, but I got it up! What did you guys think of my OC's? I promise their not any incarnation of Mary/Gary-Sues/Stu's. They've been rattling around in my head for awhile now and I guess they just fit in here.
L17, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for letting me use Vincent. I was on the verge of creating a smarmy little git for this scene, but you let me use your far better and more evil character Virus! THANK YOU!
