Episode 1 Act 2 Enter Chaos
The arcade was located in a cluster of close building not far from the Café Lunar Star and the college. Because of this it is a popular hangout as it is quite large with games for every one. The sun was nearing the horizon as street lamps came on and twilight settled in. Krahazik loved the knight. He worked best in the darkness, not to mention he could move more easily threw the shadows cast by steel lights and darkness.
Serena and the group were nearing the arcade, just a block away.
"Well we shouldn't have. We should always make time to have a little fun like this!" Serena said loudly trying to make a point.
"Your always saying something like that Serena, I guess I wouldn't have ever had fun if you hadn't have showed up" Amy says smiling, almost crying as she thinks about the past couple of years.
"Ahh, Amy, don't get all weepy eyed." Serena smiles at her friend.
Hotaru walks around the corner and spots Serena and the group near the Arcade. She waves at her. Serena sees Hotaru and waves back at her. She walks over and smiles. "How are you Serena?"
"I'm okay. You?"
Hotaru looked down slightly. "I'm okay..."
Amy wipes her eyes, "I'm sorry. Say Hotaru you want to join us"
Hotaru looked at Amy. "Where are we going?" she asked.
"Well we decided to go to the arcade for some fun, maybe we can get animals out of that bunny grab game this time." Amy laughs saying this as she remembers the last time Serena tried and lost the stuff bunny just before it got to the drop box area.
Hotaru smiled. "Sure."
Rei slumped down in a chair in the arcade, she'd come without the other's knowing. She didn't know they were coming either. Well, she was just bored, and nobody else seemed to want to go with her. She hadn't seen the rest of her posse in a while now. She was always busy trying to get her math homework, or doing chores around the temple.
Hiding in the back of the arcade Krahazik has been watching the people come and go. He shifted there after Serena and the group left the café. Been watching Rei for the past couple of minutes curious about the device she has been working on. People in this place have called them games, a form of entertainment. Thinking about shifting to my human form and approaching some one.
"Say anyone seen Rei lately?" Amy says as they round the corner in front of the arcade.
"I haven't. I was about to ask you the same thing." Hotaru replied.
Michelle was at the arcade playing one of her best games, Dance Dance Revolution and she was beginning to attract quite a crowd as she danced to song after song. Krahazik notices the excitement and crowd near the DDR machine. Lets see if I can make this a bit more entertaining he think to myself as he shadow shifts to a secluded shadow behind the DDR machine. Keeping hidden within the shadow between it and another machine. He places his hand on the back of the arcade, a wicked grin spreading across his face. Michelle dances, amazing the people around her unaware of any danger. Hotaru walks in and sees Michelle on DDR machine. She runs over and starts cheering her on. Michelle spots Hotaru, she smiled and winked at her. She took a lovely ending pose as her song ended. Everyone around her cheered. Concentrating Krahazik applies a bit of an electrical charge to the arcade, electrifying the dance pad with a small but noticeable amount of power. Enough to sting. Michelle felt a small shock and leapt off the pad. Hotaru smiled back. "Amy is here too!" she comments as Amy walks in and up to the crowd around the DDR machine.
"DDR? I didn't know you did that Michelle?" Amy says a bit surprised.
Michelle let someone else take her 20 credits she had earned and walked over to Hotaru. "I have been doing it for a while now. I used to take dance lessons" Michelle's attention was drawn back top the DDR pads when another person jumped off from shock. "I think you guys should stay off that one and try the other one on the other side" She said to the others.
"I'm not going to play. I'm bad at it." Hotaru comments.
Krahazik snickered to him self when the player jumped of the pad to land on her back on the floor. He channels more power to the machine. As people were gathering around the person who fell of the pad, lighting suddenly appears jumping around the screens which blow outward. Quickly the lightning jumps in all directions to several machines in the arcade causing them to overload blowing out screens. Krahazik shadow shift to a dark ally across the street to watch just before the fire system activates. A couple of bolts ark to the ceiling blowing out lights and setting off the fire system. People were beginning to panic and rush for the doors and emergency exits.
"Amy come on we have to help." Michelle grabbed a few people that were hurt and got them outside. It was a good thing she had taken first aid. Krahazik watches in delight from the alley as people run panicking from the arcade. Pushing to get threw the double doors. Ambulances come to help the injured people. Michelle was looking around the area for the guy/girl that started the chain reaction. She knew it had to be someone from the Nega-Moon. Lita was not around and pissed. She spotted the guy in the alley and runs towards it, not knowing if Amy and Hotaru were following.
Hotaru motioned for Amy to follow her. "Something is wrong. How else did this happen? It must be the Nega-Moon, or another enemy." She notices Michelle leaving and she quickly follows her.
"Right" Amy replies and follows Hotaru.
"Ack!" Krahazik sees Michelle running for the alley he is hiding in. He turns and sprints down the ally heading for the back. This alley is dark with a dead end. Michelle catches a glimpse of a tail as he speeds away as fast as a scared cat.
"Hey, hey you come back here!" Michelle yells and continues to chase after the strange person.
As Krahazik nears the back of the alley he suddenly stops and jumps flat against a flat shadowed section of the wall. Taking a deep breath he Shadow Melds. When Michelle gets there she finds nothing there. Michelle gets to the back of the alley to find it empty. "Damn, he was cute too." She turns and walks slowly back down the alley.
Hotaru runs to Michelle as she nears the mouth of the alley. "Did you get him? Did you?"
"What did he look like?" Amy says as she gets there just after Hotaru.
"No Hotaru, he got away. Shame too, for someone from the Nega-Moon, he was cute." Michelle smiled and walked back to the remains of the arcade.
Krahazik watches Michelle from within the shadows as the sun descends behind the buildings. Almost play time. He thinks to him self.
"Cute?" Hotaru perks up a bit.
Michelle nodded. "I seen a bit of his face from the ally way and I seen a very cute tail."
"From the Nega-moon? Cute? So you saw the culprit. What are we going to do?" I wonder if Luna and Artemis know anything that can help us out." Amy says and starts to think.
Hotaru giggled. "A cute enemy."
"Yeah," Michelle sighs. "I hope I see him again."
"Michelle are you ok? You sound just like Serena for a moment." Amy says looking at Michelle.
As the sun finally sets Amy notices a dark figure crouched, balanced on top of a lamp pole. Covered in a black cloak that seams to absorb the light, a pair of gold feline eyes can be made out under the hood. A black tail swishes back and forth as Krahazik maintains his balance. A pair of black paws grip the lamp in feline fashion. "Excuse me girls."
"Look there!" Amy points at the figure.
Hotaru gasps. "Wh-who are you? What do you want?" she demands.
Krahazik turns his golden gaze on Michelle with a big closed grin. Michelle recognized the tail as the one she chased down the alley. "Justcurious? What is the Nega-moon?" he says with complete feline innocence.
Michelle smiles at the new guy on the lamp post. "You do not know it?" Michelle asked happily, if he did not know it, then it would be okay to date him.
Krahazik swishes his tail in curiosity. "Nope. Never been there, never herd of it before this evening?"
Hotaru, being young, started to get scared. "Michelle, this person scares me!" she whimpered.
"Uh ok now I want to know just what's going on here. There's got to be a logical explanation for what has aspired in the last 10 minutes." Amy pulls out her PDA and starts writing notes very fast.
"Well, please come down here. Hotaru, stop being a wimp." Michelle whispers the last part to Hotaru as she smiles at the new guy. "What's your name?"
Krahazik lets go of the lamp with one black furred hand reaching out as Amy's PDA springs from her hand and into Krahazik's. "Handheld computer unit." He states as he begins looking threw the data on the PDA. With a glance to Michelle he back flips off the lamp to land neatly still holding the PDA. "I'm Krahazik."
"You never seen one of these before Krahazik?" Michelle asked, taking the PDA out of his hands and giving it back to Amy.
"Uh...that was...uh...interesting" Amy's in shock from her PDA leaving her hand and then being handed back to her.
"Give me a break! I'm young! And he gives off a bad vibe. I can sense it!" Hotaru whispered back.
"Sure. It's a bit primitive." Krahazik replies to Michelle.
"Primitive?" Michelle looked confused at Krahazik. "Where are you from?"
Hotaru tugged on Amy. "Amy! He's giving off a bad vibe! Can't you sense it at all?" She whispered sharply.
Krahazik turns his golden gaze on Hotaru and Amy. "And what bad vibes could I be giving off young one?"
Hotaru glared. "You're evil! I can sense it!" She defended herself as best as she could.
"Who me? I'm not evil." Krahazik replies innocently. Fast as lightning he plants a kiss on Amy's cheek and takes a step back watching her intently his hood falling off to reveal a distinctly handsome and half human, half feline face with black fur and ears.
"To be honest Hotaru I've been feeling strange all day. And I haven't seen Rei, Mina, Amara, or Artemis all day so far" Amy says putting her PDA away.
"I don't believe you. How can I trust you?" She turns to Amy. "Nor have I."
"Look we don't know you, and I have a question." Amy stares at the guy, "Did you have anything to do with the event in the arcade?"
"I bet he did!" Hotaru exclaimed. "He's the one Michelle was chasing!"
"The arcade?" Krahazik leaps back several feet. "Oh that place with the gaming machines you humans seam to enjoy playing with."
"I may be a human, but I am the destroyer of-" Hotaru realized what she was about to say and stopped herself.
Krahazik catches the sudden cutoff and his ears perk up at this. He drops into a low crouch. "Do go on child?" Golden eyes focused on Hotaru completely. Hotaru bit her lip and shook her head.
"What the?" Amy touches her cheek the kiss just catching up to her, "Uh...excuse me but...that was kind of.." Amy takes a step toward him bringing her arm back for a slap "RUDE!..." Krahazik catches Amy's hand just before she makes contact and smiles.
Amy grabs Hotaru's hand, "Let's go find the others Hotaru."
Krahazik releases Amy's hand, "No matter, who you were the destroyer of. I probably never herd of em."
Hotaru gets out of Amy's grasp. "I'm going home..." She whispered softly. She looked at the stranger. "I didn't destroy anyone...just..."
"Hey! What's going on here? Amy, Hotaru, you two alright? Is this boy giving you trouble." Lita asked as she stumbled upon Amy and Hotaru and a feline boy. Lita didn't like the looks of this guy.
"Okay Hotaru see you later." Amy says.
Hotaru waves to Amy and turned around. She sprinted down the road as fast as she could.
Krahazik executes a back flip into a shadow and vanishing. Skipping threw the shadows, shifting from one to another he follows Hotaru.
"There's something I don't like about him." Amy says to herself, and thinks, "Now I sound like Rei." Amy giggles at herself and goes to the hospital to check on people.
Hotaru runs to the park and sits on a bench. She was angry at herself for almost telling the one who she believed to be the enemy something like that. Krahazik crawls out of a shadow and onto a tree branch above Hotaru and watched her silently. Hotaru sighs. She suddenly felt a presence. "Who is there?" she asked loudly.
"Care to tell me who you have destroyed?" Krahazik says dropping onto the bench beside Hotaru without making a sound.
"I haven't destroyed anyone!" Hotaru snapped. "Why did you follow me?"
"You seam to be quite perceptive for a human youth. And don't think I didn't catch that little slip you made earlier." Krahazik comments.
"I have destroyed something, but not people. And again, why did you follow me?"
Krahazik sits down on the bench. "You interested me child." He appears relaxed but still quite alert. His ears scan the whole area while being fixed on Hotaru.
Hotaru hesitantly asks, "If I tell you what I've destroyed, will you leave me alone?"
Krahazik looks up at the half moon. "Isn't the moon lovely."
"Will you? And stop changing the subject!" Hotaru said angrily.
"If you tell the truth I will for the night." Krahazik states.
Hotaru sighed. It was better than nothing. "I am the destroyer of worlds..."
In total shock and alarmed Krahazik leaps of the bench with a bit of a snarl taking a step standing on the shadow cast by a large tree. With a forced grin, "Well, that is something. As I have said I will leave you for the night." Suddenly he sinks into the shadow and is gone.
Hotaru ran to find Lita and Amy, hoping they would be together. She hated herself once again. Being a destroyer of worlds was horrible. She was lucky that the other scouts had accepted her.
On her way to the hospital Amy runs into Lita "Lita! You want to join me? I need to talk to someone." Amy seems startled and a bit shaken.
"Um...Sure Amy. What seems to be the problem?" Lita asked worriedly, it's not like Amy to be like this. Lita knew something was up and she could already feel her powers of thunder and lightning surging through her.
"Michelle was chasing this guy, that we thought might be from the Nega-moon; but he's not. Then he appeared out of no where, and kissed me. The arcade almost burned down, and I have this odd sense that something's not right." Amy spills everything out, not quite crying but definitely bothered.
Lita was shocked, "All this happened just now? And some boy kissed you!"
Krahazik emerges from a shadow on the opposite side of town as the park a bit unnerved at meeting such a creature here, and so young. Walks down the street not paying to much attention to traffic. A car stops as I am in the road to honk at me, with a side ward glance I send a bolt of electricity into the car blowing up the engine and sending the driver running away screaming. Watching the flames slowly spread as the fuel catches fire and burns. "I feel slightly better now." Jumping about town randomly blowing up car engines and watching as their occupants run in terror. Keeping one step ahead of the police, running them all over town.
Serena was walking over to Darien's when she saw a car blow up, and the guy who caused the explosion. "What the..." Serena didn't know what to do, to help, or go after the guy. Since there was already cops there she decide to talk to the guy. She goes after him "Hey Stop!" but Krahazik was already leaping into another shadow.
As Amy and Lita walk down the street six police cars go screaming by, sirens and lights blaring heading for the south side of town. Krahazik strolls out of the shadow of a lamp walking toward Amy and Lita staying to the shadows to keep from being seen right away.
Serena keeps walking, looking for the guy when suddenly she sees her friends "Hey guys. what going on around here?"
"I don't know but cop cars just went that way." Amy says pointing south.
Krahazik sneaks right up to Amy's back and looks over her shoulder at the direction she is pointing. "I wonder what could be going on?" he whispers.
"Maybe this is a time for scout power?" Serena says not noticing Krahazik right there.
"What!" Amy moves out of the way at hearing Krahazik, "Him!" Amy points at the boy.
Krahazik back flips several feet from them. "What is this Scout Power you spoke of? Hmmm."
"eeek!" Amy screeches, "Uh Lita...over there" Amy points at the boy that was just near her. Krahazik smiles at the 3 girls, his golden eyes shining in the light of the half moon. He stands several paces from the girls.
Lita rolled up her sleeves, "That's the guy huh? I'm going to give him a piece of my mind."
"Oh! Uhhh" Amy seems worried.
"Oh are you now." Krahazik grins mischievously, bouncing on the balls of my feet loosely, but alert. He looks like a half cat wound up and ready to move. Tail jumping about excitedly.
Michelle walks around the corner and sees the guy from earlier. She checked her hair and walked over. "Hi there Krahazik."
"Michelle, you know this guy?" Lita questions in a shocked tone.
At seeing and hearing Michelle walk up Krahazik turns his attention on her, his golden eyes gleaming. "Hi there sweet heart."
Michelle blushed. "Yeah I know him Lits, Krahazik is a very good friend of mine." She was blushing from him calling her sweet heart. "What's up?"
"Not much, just looking around." Krahazik replies with a smile.
"That's nice. Hey wanna walk around with me and the girls for a while? It would be a great chance for you to get to know them better." Michelle asks.
"Sure, that sounds great." Krahazik answers.
Michelle smiled and was a bit afraid of his reaction but she took his hand smiling. Lita looked back and forth between Michelle and the boy, trying hard to grasp at what was going on. She turns to Amy and raises a confusing eyebrow, thinking that Amy might have a solution to this problem. Krahazik settles down a bit stepping next to Michelle's side holding her hand. "So where shall we go?"
"Um. Michelle can I have a moment with you?" Amy says to Michelle.
"Why don't we go to the arcade, I can teach you about... oh wait, I forgot, we have to wait till the repairs are done." Michelle laughed a bit remembering that if he had not blown up the arcade, they may have never met. "Sure Amy." Michelle let go of Krahazik's hand and walked over to her. "What's up?" Krahazik patiently waits, and ear perked in their direction. He has excellent hearing and is able to pick up every word.
"Michelle he's the bad guy, you can't date the bad!" Serena blurts out.
"Who's bad?" Krahazik asks innocently.
"I agree with Serena." Lita looked over at the boy, an evil glare in her eyes. "You stay out of our conversation."
"He is not Serena... you do not even know him. You're just jealous because you can't see Darien." Michelle turned on her heel and ran right past Krahazik, tears starting to stream from her eyes.
Krahazik looks at the girls a moment then in the direction Michelle ran. In a flash he bolts after her leaving the 3 girls to stand on the street alone.
