Zidet: ah ok.. let' see. Time to update again. yup yup . ok ok I know I have been getting lazy. But.. (ahem) forgive me.
Harpuia: yes...forgive her..not.
Cammy: ... why is Uncle Biscuit a real biscuit?
Zidet : (sweatdrop) well.. he is just having a crazy dream. Anyways..shall we?
Disclaimer- Zidet does not own any Megaman characters.. but when Leviathan is not around.. she takes care of Cammy
The two still stood in the Elevator staring at eachother. Fefnir peered out through the smoke and tilted his head.
"err.. Zero? What in the world are you doing here? And why are you..dressed as a muffin"? he almost chuckled hearing himself speak such words, but then remembered who was actually a full fledged edible food. At least that's what he assumed.
Zero cleared his throat and shook his head a few times.
" I challenge you King Biscuit! For the throne of Neo Breadia! I already have control over the Muffin Base. And soon,the entire world"! he began to laugh and threw his head back as Fefnir leaned against the wall watching ,clearly confused and dissapointed.
" uh.. so what are you going to do about it"? he asked looked around the elevator slightly. Zero stopped laughing and looked back at him and then to the buttons to the left ,waddling up to it and pushing one with his stubby hands.
"Well first.. I have to get to the bottom floor".
Fefnir fell over at the sudden movement of the elevator as Zero pushed it. He twitched numerous amounts of times,constantly having to hear Zero's insane laughter.
"...Zero! shut up already! since when did you want to take over the world"? he looked over at him, obviously very annoyed. Zero once again stopped laughing and glared back at him.
"oh no you don't! That's King Muffin to you.. Everyone will bow down to me"! he yelled out,once again bursting in insane laughter. Fefnir merely shook his head, hearing the ding of the elevator and walking past him,hopping out.
Zero followed him ,waddling out and looking to the exit of the main base and seeing the City.
"ah yes. Neo Breadia. It will be mine"! he chuckled again and walked forward, rather waddling again. Fefnir closed his eyes wondering when on earth Neo Arcadia became Neo Breadia. This was all so confusing. As he looked out to the city, he realized all of the humans who he swore to protect, were all biscuits!
"What...happened"? he blinked a few times and hopped over to get a better veiw. All the people looked over immediatly bowing and murmuring words.
"long live the Biscuit King! Long live the Biscuit King".
Fefnir looked over to Zero who glared out to all the people and raised his muffin like hands.
"My fellow food products! The King had betrayed you! I The Muffin King will rule over you all now.. and name this wonderful Kingdom.. Muffin Land! How does that sound"?
All was silent as Zero waited and lowered his hands smirking over at Fefnir ,who still seemed to be very confused. But before he could gloat to him ,he felt large objects hit him. He looked over seeing rather gigantic blueberry's aimed at him. he shrieked and ran around in circles.
"no my children! The Muffin King must be orginal! you must not plague me with a different brand"! he ran around a bit more as Fefnir watched and then looked back to all the ..people.. what else was he supposed to call them..food products? That seemed a bit to weird.
Just as he began to walk away he felt himself being shoved to the ground as Muffin Zero and Biscuit Fefnir rolled down the stairs. They were tiny squeaks each time they hit the ground. They rolled all the way to the bottom as Zero reached behind his back..or at least tried to. He strugled and took in deep breaths as Fefnir stood up a bit dazed shaking his head and falling back down.
"King Biscuit! Quickly! The dreaded Muffin King is pulling out the dreaded Muff Saber! Quicky stop him"! Fefnir blinked looking over to a random person who had shouted that and then finally noticed Zero still struggling to reach behind him with his stubby hands and grab hold of the M-Saber. He grinned and walked calmly up to him and aimed his biscuit cannon and laughed a little.
"Finally I will defeat you! And.. I guess. I will..rule..Neo..Breadia.?" true it sounded very strange saying something as stupid as that..but at least he was going to beat Zero...Muffin King..it didn't matter.
.
Back at the Resistance Base, Ciel looked down at the capsule Fefnir was resting in and tilted her head.
"hey..Cammy.. Your Uncle..is smiling in his sleep.. I wonder why..."? She held Cammy in her arms and patted her lightly on the head and neared the capsule to hear if Fefnir had any words to match the smile on his lips.
"ha..Muffin... Zero.. I..will...rule Neo..Breadia..and The Muffin..Base..ha..ha..ha..ha.."
Ciel raised an eyebrow and looked back to Cammy who shrugged and shook her head.
"I think Uncle Biscuit should stop taking illegal medicine.. that way ..he will not dream of Muffins and such..Thats what Mommy Leviathan said..."
Ciel giggled a little and stood up with Cammy in her arms and looked closely at Cammy for the first time. Cammy blinked and tilted her head.
"Something wrong Miss Ciel.."?
Ciel's eyes widened as Cammy smiled and quickly put her head down. Though the moment had been such a cheeful one. It quickly turned tragic as she backed away from Cammy and looked away.
'I shouldn't be thinking of this right now.. Now isn't the time.. It..isn't..the time..to think about...that person.. it's not right.. I need to forget. But I don't want to forget.. Do I'?
Cammy tugged on Ciel's skirt and bit her lip a little and blinked more.
"Miss Ciel.. Miss Ciel.. whats the matter? Are you sick"? she asked with such delicate innocence that it made Ciel close her eyes and try to block it out.
'a baby.. a ..baby..The child'...
Ciel lowered her eyes to the ground and took in a deep breath as she quickly looked back up smiling and turning her head walking to the exit of the room.
" ah no.. no I am fine. Just a little dizzy for a moment.. that's all. But I suppose you are right little Cammy. Your Uncle really should watch what he is taking". She forced a smile and let the door slide open and beckoned for her to come.
" ah..now let's let Fefnir sleep for a little while.. He probably doesn't want to be humilated anymore, right"? she took Cammy's hand and led her out of the room and leaving the thoughts inside as well.
Once again in the dream Fefnir aimed the cannon and smirked imitating Zero's laugh and charging up the Biscuit cannon.
"now..finally..even if this is only for this .palace of food. At least I will still defeat you! It's over Zero"! He walked a little closer. Zero continued trying to reach for the M-saber and flailed his arms wildly.
"no..My dear Muffin Base. you can't have it"! he struggled and rolled on the ground after trying to reach it still. Fefnir chuckled and finished the charge.
"ah..its no use! your to fat! You can't reach it now!" he laughed again and watched Zero curl up as he shot the blast of the gigantic biscuit at Zero. He bit his lip and watched as it soared through the air preparing to hit him.
Zero closed his eyes and whined a little shaking his head.
"My orginality.. My Muffin Reign is over." he kept his eyes closed and waited for the hit. As he waited he felt nothing hit him. With a bit of caution,he opened his eyes and saw that the biscuit was nowehere to be seen.. and neither was Fefnir.
"huh? what the... AHHHHHHHHHHH!"! Zero looked up and ran around in circles again as a giant hand reached for him and picked him up, the loud voice of a girl giggling.
"ohh yummy. Mommy Leviathan sure was nice to make me so big so I can eat you two. She said you two are delicious and nutritious."
Zero's face paled as he squirmed and screamed.
" No no no no no no! Don't! I am the Muffn King! You can' t do this to me"! he yelled more and looked down seeing all the food product people squirm away into their gingerbread houses.
Fefnir watched as well and shook his head.
"morons.. that will defiantely get them eaten if they go in a edible house.." he paused seeing Zero shout about it being impossible for him to be ...eaten.
"No! No you wretched child! put me down! arrgh! Damn you M- saber! Damn you"! he continued yelling like an idiot as Fefnir raised his cannon and shot biscuits from it aiming it at the giant Camille's head.
" take this...you..you. giant..thing!"! he yelled out and open fired. Camille watched as the tiny biscuits hit her head. She sniffled dropping Zero to the ground making him squeak out in pain. Tears fell down her cheeks as they hit the ground of Neo Breadia. Fefnir looked down and stopped shooting, yelling at her.
"stop you fool! your flooding the city"! he tried pulling out of Cammy's hand as she cried more and let her tears continue to hit the ground.
Somewhere along the line, Fefnir watched as Zero was washed away in the tears, never to return ,though he babbled on saying he would, as he sunk.
As a few minutes passed, Fefnir watched as Camille stood in Neo Breadia, her tears reaching her up to knee high. He watched soggy breads and biscuits wash away shaking his head slightly.
"well so much for the Kingdom..." he murmured. He tapped his chin a few times as Camille continued sniffling.
" ah..what to do.." he continued to ponder ,until he heard a very familiar voice yell out to them. Rather Camille.
"Eat him sweety! Eat him now"! It will make you feel better! Then You wont have to be yelled at by him ever again"! Fefnir grimaced seeing Levithan floating along on a giant cheerio. She held her trident in her hand and smirked waving to to them from down below.
Camille sniffled and looked to Fefnir and a small smile crossed her lips. she giggled and nodded to Leviathan as she held him up and raised him to her mouth.
" yay! Uncle Biscuit will be good to eat! yup yup"! she giggled and watched as he yelled out in panic.
"arrgh no! no! dont eat me! Leviathan! your gonna pay! Cammy! Cammy! no! dont eat your Uncle! you can't do that! I.. I'll buy you a pony! don't eat me! Cammy"! he shouted out as Cammy held her mouth open drawing him nearer to it.
"no! don't eat me! Don't eat me"!
no..no..don't..eat me...don't..eat me...no..." Fefnir murmured in his sleep as all three sat around him watching and waiting to see what happened next. Zero handed Ciel some popcorn as she muched away and held Cammy in her arms and bit her lip nervously. Cammy jumped up and down excited.
"ooh Miss Ciel ..what's going to happen next"? she listened to Fefnir smiling happily ,still listening closely to him.
Ciel shrugged and continued watching.
" I don't know..let's just wait and see.. maybe he is going to get eaten.."
They all crossed their fingers waiting to hear what was going to happen to poor Fefnir. But just as the moment arised ,Fefnir jumped up quickly hitting his head on the top of the capsule he was in. He looked around quickly and frantically as he looked over to them curling up.
"no! no! Cammy please!" he shouted,almost whining.
Zero sighed and stood up walking over to fefnir's capsule and opening it looking down at him.
"erm.. I think he has totally lost it.. there is only one thing to do.."
Ciel and Cammy tilted their heads as Fefnir got up sitting up completely and looking around still a little dazed.
"KNOCK HIM OUT AGAIN"! he slammed the capsule door down again in hopes that he would get knocked out, but in any case, it just made Fefnir curse and mutter more unpleasant things.
Zero shrugged and stepped back.
" aww to bad.. shows is over guys..for now". he watched as Fefnir slowly got out of the capsule and rubbed his head looking over to all of them glaring.
"what a horrid nightmare.." he mumbled and looked to his cannon and body, seeing that it was back to normal. It was a complete relief to see that it was ok now. But ... now that that was over. He had other plans to get to.
"what are you all staring at"? he snapped out at them as he stormed past them muttering more and exiting the room. Zero blinked a few times and tilted his head.
"What' s wrong with him"? he asked silently as he watched Fefnir walk out,still apprently a little dazed from the bonk on the head.
Ciel and Cammy watched as well and Cammy got down from Ciel's arms and giggled.
"Well Uncle Biscuit is grouchy when he wakes up from his nap.. so I am going to go play with Alouette. ok Miss Ciel"? she shuffled her feet and moved some of her black hair back cheerfully.
Ciel said nothing for a moment looking into the girls eyes and then quickly nodded.
"y-yes..That's fine. be careful now,ok"? she warned almost trance like. Cammy didn't catch it though as she quickly agreed and ran out of the room in a hurry. Zero did of course and put one hand on her shoulder.
"Ciel? Ciel? Is everything alright? You don't look to good". he shook her lightly as she closed her eyes and turned away from him quickly backing up.
"yes..yes I am fine..I .. have to get back to work now Zero.. see you later..alright"? Without waiting for a respose, she quickly ran past him and out the door as the other two had. Her footsteps echoed through the hall as her blonde hair bounced up and down from the panicked clumbsy run she was in.
Back in the room, Zero sat down in a nearby chair and shook his head looking to a nearby window,seeing the sunset. Fefnir had been out for almost the whole day, and the stars would be here soon. He was in some way grateful so he could change his thoughts and go out in the open outside ..and dream..
Ciel apprently had the same thoughts as him as she went to the rooftop of the resistance base ,seeing the sun go past the mountains and hide itself away until it was time for it to shine once more. For now.. it was the moon's and stars turn to share the sky.
As Ciel looked up to the sky, her tears shined from the burning sun ,making them glimmer with a burning desire to see..that person again. Every time she saw Cammy. She saw.. that smile .that knowledge.. and that spirit...
"I can only pray that you are ok there.. perhaps it is some coincidence.. I refuse to believe it..until I see. it.. And I pray I never lay eyes on what I fear the most. I wouldn't be able to take it. Not now.. Not at this time.. Not in the time of.. sadness.." She put one hand to her eyes and covered them feeling the tears escape onto her fingers. She didn't know what to do anymore. She needed to be strong for everyone. For all who she worked for. All who she prayed for. What would all of them think...what would they say..Zero..what would he say..?
Ciel fell to her knee's and put her arms around herself as the sun cast a shadow behind her with its last rays. Her blonde hair fell over her shoulders and over her eyes as her long ponytail spilt on each side crossing over each shoulder .
."Why..did ..you leave.. that was..the most.." she trailed off and closed her eyes tightly and tightened her arms around herself ,her shoulders going up and down from her silent tears.
She sniffled stopping and holding her breath as she heard a voice from behind her.
"Ciel.. I never thought I would see the day you were at your knee's..What would cause such a sudden sight"?
Ciel turned her head a little,her eyes glassy from her tears as she gasped a little. She had forgotten all about him. Sure. It was ok to be relaxed when Zero was around with her. But not to be alone.
"Fefnir.. What do you want? What are you still doing here"? she got up slowly from her knee's and turned to face him as the sun disappeared over the ancient mountains.
Fefnir walked a little closer to her and chuckled.
"I have no more times for games Ciel.. dont be stupid..Now come along.. I came for you".
Ciel seemed a bit shocked to hear this. She was certain they had given that up by now. Why did they want her now?
She staggered back and looked behind her seeing the edge of the roof. And the only way she could get off the roof was past Fefnir. She glared defiantly and shook her head.
"Fefnir. I will go nowhere with you! And I advise you to leave at once before Zero gets up here"! her voice was shaky as she felt her body tremble. She was in no condition to be brave.. and she knew it. And so did he.
"Ciel.. Come now.. You know there is no way Zero will come up here. He got your signal to be left alone. I heard what you said and heard you come up here.. Although I don't understand why you are crying. I am no mood to play the nice guy. But then again.. Am I ever?..now get over here"! he extended his hand and beckoned her forward.
Ciel looked around and backed up again ,before darting forward trying to pass by him. A failed attempt and probably rather foolish as he yanked her by the arm and pulled her closer to him.
"Well now.. that certaintly made it alot easier. Thank you for practically cooperating Ciel.. I am sure Master X will want to have a nice long talk with you". He chuckled as Ciel began to scream and struggle. He picked her up throwing her over his shoulder and picked up some speed and jumped off the roof hitting the ground making it crack a little,before continuing on his way. He didn't want to teleport there.. He would rather just run. He wasn't really in any rush. At least he liked to think so. Besides.. with this nice jog, perhaps he could train his body to be a little more quick and have a little more movement so he didn't have to rely on his cannon all the time, though he dearly loved using it.
Ciel screamed more on his shoulder and kicked more, crying out for Zero. Fefnir paid her no mind as he ran along planning on what he should tell Master X once he got there. He knew he shouldn't plain out say he had taken the little squirt to the Resistance Base. But he needed to think of of a more reasonable answer.
Zero yawned as he finally saw the stars reveal themselves. He smiled a little and stood up walking down the hall and stopping in suprise seeing Cammy and Alouette sleeping down on the floor with scattered toys about. He tilted his head and walked up to them kneeling down and lifting them both up with one arm and laying their heads on both of his shoulders.
'That's a little strange. Ciel would definatly tuck them into bed way before they fall asleep on the hallway floor. She always tucks in Alouettte.. But neither of them are in a bed..' he shook his head a little and carried them along to Alouette's room and placed them into bed pulling the covers over them gently and turning on a small night light in the corner.
He stretched again and closed the door after, going around the resistance base searching for Ciel. After no luck whatsoever, he finally went to her room and knocked lightly on her door calling out to her. There was no answer as he waited. He put in the code and watched as the door slid open,seeing her room empty as well. Be began to get worried as he turned and and walked quickly to the base's rooftop. That was the only place left she could be...
Fefnir halted to a stop putting Ciel down as she was to tired to scream anymore. she stood beside him though as he had his arm tightly around her small wrist.He looked out to Neo Arcadia,knowing he was just about there.he tugged her along and smirked as she whined a little in protest. As they walked over a small meadow,a small object became known to Ciel as she squinted walking a little faster,curious as to what it was. Fefnir was confused seeing her now tug him along. Was she really that much in rush to be questioned and possibly killed by Master X.?
Ciel continued, as apparent tears began to cloud her eyes yanking away from his grip suprisingly and rushing to the object that was now revealed to be a gravestone. She fell to her knee's once more and stared ahead at the writing and gasped,biting her lip and putting her hands over her eyes and shaking her head.
"oh no..God..no..no! no...please..." she curled in a ball and sobbed louder as Fefnir looked to the gravestone and read the words imprinted on it. They meant nothing to him as he looked closely at it.
'Brina Radburn'
Gone but not Forgotten'
He was indeed curious about the Woman who was now gone. What did she matter to Ciel? But his time was now running short as he pulled Ciel up by her arms and pulled her away.
"come on.enough tears Ciel.." he whispered pulling her along and away from the gravestone and into the beginning of the city. He had no time for tears. And he doubted Master X would either. So she had better straighten up.
They faded off in the distance as as a figure came up from behind the other side of the nearby hill and watched them walk off. He tilted his head and put one hand to his chin.
"Most Peculiar.. that's two today..." he shrugged and went back down into hiding seeing if perhaps any other would visit the woman who apprently had been so close to others hearts...
Zidet (sigh) I am..so tired..there! are..you...all..happy. Yes I know what I am doing in case you are all confused and wondering what the heck I am thinking.
Fefnir:oh..what are you thinking of?
Zidet: ...that's none of your concern biscuit boy..anyways..please read and review..hope you enjoyed the chapter..night night everyone. see you all soon!
