Chapter 20:Fight against the Armored Man!OrHimeko's Posessed!
As the Hinata gang walks into the massive entrance chamber, many are awed by the intricate designs in the ancient architecture, as well as the advanced equipment that was completely out of place.
Su: WOW! Supercomputers, DNA sequencers, analysis of ancient text, they have TONS of sweet stuff!
Peter: Let's check it out. There's got to be something there that'll help us out.
Peter takes one console, while Su takes another, typing at speeds of at least 70 words per minute. Soon enough, both find valuable information.
Peter: Wow, the legends in this text… a lot has to do with an ancient queen who ruled this area. O.O Part of Himeko's lineage comes from this queen!
Sarah: Cool. So what happened to her?
Peter: She started acting odd, and her council, fearing that she became evil, sealed her inside a cavern deep in this volcano.
Barbara: I was given only a little bit of this info. What else do they have in here?
Su: Oh, no…
Ema: What's the matter?
Su: …Guys, there's a really nasty prophecy here. "The queen shall rise again, by the blood of a noble warrior and his love. She will have power over the emotions of men, over fire and earth, and will command an army of massive strength. Her descendant will be her key to eternal life, and the key to defeating her."
Motoko: Power over the emotions of men, over fire and earth, and command a great army? Sounds like something out of an anime…
Peter: TEH FOURTH WALL! TEH FOURTH WALLLL!
Kaoru: EH!
May: What are you talking about?
Peter: (coming up with a quick lie) …nevermind. Just something about a fourth wall that leads to the chamber in question.
Everybody sweatdrops, and Brandon facefaults.
Kitsune: Hmm, that thing about "power over the emotions of men"…I'd like to have that…
Peter and Brandon blush slightly.
Ema: Kitsune! Get your head out of the gutter!
Kitsune: Ohoho, not that. I'd just have them get me all the booze I want!
Brandon and Peter facefault.
Brandon (thinking to himself): …Thank God.
Kanako: Hmmm, I might be able to get onii-chan back, then…
Everybody sweatdrops again.
Shinobu: You still haven't given up on sempai!
Kanako: Hey, I can dream, can't I?
Suddenly, panels around the sides of the entranceway slide away, spewing out over 200 soldiers. Brandon, Kaoru, Motoko, Barbara, and Shinobu immediately assume defensive positions, as Peter, Su, and surprisingly Sarah pull out handguns.
Brandon: When'd you get that!
Sarah: Haha, Su's been giving me practice.
Kitsune: Su! It's illegal for minors to have handguns!
Su: Eheheh, doesn't hurt to practice, just in case we're in this situation…
#184 walks forward, wielding a semi-automatic rifle and sporting an assortment of grenades: Welcome to Ahm-sofoo-kinwe-tah-ded. (veinpops after realizing what he said, with some of the Hinata group and the soldiers chuckling) …shut up… Anyway, your little tour ends here.
Brandon: Heh, the ancients of this temple pulled some Aqua Teen shit on you.
#184: I said SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Shinobu: Hey, we've got minors here. Watch your language, Assmaster!
Now the entire room was in a fit of laughter, and #184 was supremely pissed.
Brandon: Ohhhhh, man. Too good, Shinobu, too good.
Kanako: (still chuckling) South Park is rubbing off on her. Hahah.
Peter: That's not South Park. That's American high school talk.
#184, having enough of being insulted, whips his rifle out and starts firing non-stop at the group. Barbara, however, uses her telekinesis to stop all the bullets about ten feet away.
#184: DAMMIT! Squadron, attack!
Meanwhile, in the chamber and the lab connected to it, no. #2 and #1 were discussing the final preparations for the ceremony.
#2: How do we know if this entity will even cooperate? She may choose, once she's able to walk around, to do what she pleases.
#1: She'll cooperate. I have an ace up my sleeve that just arrived.
#2: You mean, one of the intruders?
#1: No, ALL OF THEM. Her council looked remarkably like our friends who have just entered.
The entrance chamber was in chaos. Bullets flying, people being sent into the air, yet nothing was harming the Hinata Housers. Ten minutes pass and the soldiers are all but decimated, even when the numbers under #184 came to fight. They were simply no match for the fighters among the Housers.
#254: Fall back! FALL BACK!
#70: No! We're not- (falls to the ground in a slump, since Motoko's katana bashed his skull in).
Shinobu: Brandon! What's your policy with these guys!
Brandon: (a savage twinkle in his eye) They're fanatics. Even if we gave them a second chance, they'd waste it, just like the terrorists.
Shinobu: Got it! (unleashes a ki wave that sends an entire group flying this way and that)
Kitsune, Ema, and May were cheering from the sidelines. And hiding.
Peter: I think we got this in the bag!
Just then, the bladed, armored soldier who took Himeko came strutting in. Brandon, seeing him, punches Peter square in the face.
Peter: OW! What the hell was that for!
Brandon: You jinxed us, dammit! (demon eyes) YOU SPOKE TOO FUGGIN' SOON!
Armored Figure: HAHAHAHAHAHA! They're nothing but a bunch of simpletons! I, however, am #3!
Kanako: …dramatic, to be sure.
#3: SHADDUP! I'm a badass, and you're about to see why!
Brandon: All of you, go through the door he just came in through. I'll handle him.
Shinobu: …….Why the door he just came in through?
Sarah: It's typical of evil organizations. The door the leader or leaders come through is the door that leads to where their evil plans are being executed. Blame James Bond and Austin Powers.
Everybody sweatdrops.
#3: DAMMIT, WE AREN'T LIKE THOSE BAD MOVIES!
Sarah: Then tell me, did you do so?
#3: ………… I'm not telling.
Shinobu: (chuckles) He did.
#3 veinpops. This provides enough of a distraction for Brandon to pull out…an MP3 player.
Motoko: …Um, Brandon, it isn't the proper time to listen to music.
Shinobu and Kaoru look like they're ready to pee themselves.
Kaoru: …We need to get out of here. NOW.
Kanako: Why? Something I missed?
Shinobu: Brandon taught me and Kaoru how music can inspire what he calls, "A major ass-kicking of the enemy".
Motoko: O.O You mean…
Shinobu: Yeah, how music can increase adrenaline and make an excellent focus for timing strikes.
Peter: Aw, man. If I know what song he's going to play first, this area's gonna be in ruins. RUN!
Everybody except Brandon and #3 run through the center-right door. Meanwhile, Brandon has just hit the "Play" button, and was tapping his right foot to the beat, as well as nodding his head.
#3: Heh, what do you have on there, some rap music?
His foot tapping increases, starting to shake the room around them. Then, he poses just like Viewtiful Joe and yells:
MY COCK IS MUCH BIGGER THAN YOUUUUURRRS! MY COCK CAN WALK RIGHT THROUGH THE DOOR, WITH A FEELING SO PURE, ITS GOT YOU COMING BACK FOR-
He appears right in front of #3 and in one seemingly wide swipe of his katana (actually, it was about 13 slashes, but he went so fast it never even registered), all the pillars and computer hardware fall apart in chunks.
#3: ….haha, you did nothing…
Brandon: Baka, you ever see Fist of the North Star?
#3: O.o Oh, shi-
#3 blows up in a burst of bloody chunks. Brandon then turns off his Mp3 player and deactivates the katana.
Brandon: Heheh, I've always wanted to do this…humphumphumphumphumphump…
(He pretends he's humping #3's corpse, in an homage to Halo's online deathmatches)
Meanwhile, down the corridor, the rest of the group were fighting robots. Shinobu had a couple of cuts from melee fighting some of the robots, as well as Motoko and Kanako. However, what they didn't know is that droids the size of console buttons were collecting the blood that had fallen on the floor. Meanwhile, Brandon finished with his fun and ran after them, albet a few minutes behind.
The gang reaches the chamber, first seeing Himeko chained up, hanging from the ceiling above the vat. She was awake.
Himeko: Guys! Oh, God I'm glad you're all here! Please get me down!
Peter aimed his pistol, and was promptly hit on the head by Barbara.
Peter: Ow! Geez, is it hit the goblin day in Japan!
Barbara: No, you nimrod. Just don't let her fall into that miasma! If she falls into it, we're screwed!
#2: I'm afraid you're already screwed.
#2 and #1, revealing himself to be Kenneth Nakashima, walk out of an alcove with smirks on their faces.
Kenneth: Too bad. You've lost.
May: WHAT! How!
Su: Yeah, as far as I know, you don't have the last two ingredients needed!
#2: Hahaha, fool. We got the noble warrior's blood at that mall you were at! As for the blood of his love…
Kenneth: …It's right here.
He pulls out a vial of blood.
Barbara: WHAT! Who's blood is it!
Kenneth: Hahaha. I believe it's from those among you named Motoko, Shinobu, Kanako, and you as well, Barbara.
All: O.O
Shinobu: Kanako! You like Brandon too!
Kanako: (a tinge of red appears on her cheeks) It started a little while ago. I guess I have a crush on him…
Ema: …I thought Barbara was a Lesbian?
Barbara: …(blushes profusely) He's my image of the perfect man…
Peter: GODDAMMIT! NOW THERE'S FOUR!
Kenneth throws the vial in, and the miasma turns a deep pink.
Kenneth: Time for Queen Himekohana to be reborn!
He pulls out a remote and hits the button. Everything slows down to slow motion as Himeko falls into the miasma.
All: SHIT!
About ten seconds after that, Brandon comes jogging up, seeing everyone staring at the vat.
Brandon: What's going on now?
The vat of miasma begins to glow, then a vortex erupts from it.
Brandon: …Oh, that…
The next chapter will be up, I assume, next week. Also, in your reviews, if you want more shojo-ai between Motoko and Barbara, please say so. MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Motoko: O.o What!
DA: You heard me!
Motoko: I will not stand for it!
DA: If the readers want it, they'll get it!
Motoko: PLEEEESE, DON'T! I BEG OF YOU! I'LL BE KICKED OUT OF MY FAMILY FOREVER IF THAT HAPPENED!
DA: You seemed to enjoy it last time.
Motoko: GYAAAAH! I'LL KILL YOU!
(snaps his fingers and Motoko disappears)
Don't worry, she's not hurt in any way. Also, keep an eye open, for I'm thinking about going into other anime categories and doing fanfics there, too. Lol (eyes Excel Saga) …that looks promising… Anyways, be sure to get the five volumes of Negima! that are currently out. Volume six is coming this July! Less than a month! As always, please read and review. Till then, happy reading and/or writing!
