Viewtiful John: Yes, I got that one ages ago but I still can't do it...
Cristalina: Yes the truth revealed about Falco and his anti review please campaign. Indeed it was torture from beginning to end hence the title punishment, punishment (from Majora's Mask as you probably noticed)
I don't think ANYBODY will do anything mean to Cass/Trent for sometime yet, I don't even dislike her, Trent or Slippy. The point of calling the camp insert name here was sort of a joke... it wasn't because I ran out ideas, if I was going to name it, it would have been called camp eru tort, which is torture backwards without the space, but I decided against this. Yeah, I found Melvin's line quite nice as well... of course he would take special disliking to Trent but I decided to skip this part otherwise he would have received much more of a beating, and I was actually going to have Mel leave them in there but I had no practical way of getting them out.
Spider bear: Yes, punishment... can you join the game? Yup definitely... I was thinking about having a few of my reviews hunt down Slippy but I wasn't sure how you guys felt about that.
Fanfiction Enjoyer: Didn't I punish them enough for you? No? Sorry then... I think anymore would have been too much. You think your evil power outdoes mine? Probably does because I'm all for justice... and I use my evil powers when justice isn't given.
Back at school on Tuesday because they got Monday to rest at home the kids had found out about a new Perfect Light book coming out by the famous book author Cristalina, who was given special permission by the makers of Perfect Light, Common to write books which continue the series. Her book would be released this Saturday and the kids cancelled all plans so they could join the queues to get it. The new book was called 'Through his eyes' and was sequel to the record breaking '10 things you need to know about Jacqueline Light'
"You know, as much as I enjoy her book, we all know that Common is only using her as an excuse so they can further delay Perfect Light Zero" Daniel said
"Don't get me started on that one, every since they said they aren't making it for Nintendo any more it has been pushed back again and again. Also I think Jackie looks awful" Jonathan said
"I agree... I bet the game doesn't even come out" Natasha added "And I know they are paying Cristalina heaps to write the second book" Natasha finished
When they got into class they were told that they'd start practicing scenes for the play. Moving into a larger hall area they spread out around the room. The first scene would feature Natasha starting the opening lines however Dr. Caroll decided that could be done on her own and wouldn't need everybody else so they skipped to the actual duel. First round was Jacqueline versus Craterline guard so Natalya and Terrance stood up. Sean hadn't got assigned anything so he got to be the director.
"I still don't know about this" Natalya said as she was given a prop Pigeon 2 (scope) which shot out water instead of bullets, however the 'gun' had surprisingly good range.
"Hey it's easy... just imagine Terry over there is the person you hate more then anybody else in this world" Jonathan replied
It didn't take long for Natalya to turn around and shoot Terrance square in the head with her Pigeon 2.
"HEY! We haven't started yet" Terrance rubbed his forehead of the water and shoot a few rounds at Natalya but his gun didn't actually have any water in it yet.
"Who on Earth did you think of to make you react like that?" Jonathan asked
"Boris... he's always doing nasty things to me" Natalya said
After finally loading their guns (with water) Natalya and Terrance stood back to back.
"Now you have to step forwards twice and then turn around and both of you turn around and hopefully Natalya will shoot Terry before Terry shoots her" Sean said
Natalya and Terrance took one step, then Natalya took her second but found Terrance had hit her after his first step.
"Hey come on Terry... you are going to lose anyway, just do it right" Foster called out
Terrance grumbled "Fine... but I still don't see why the guard always has to lose... sometimes when I'm playing I let the guard win" Terrance said
"Yeah but if the guard wins Jackie doesn't become Perfect Light" Daniel said
"Exactly, so Jackie, that is Natalya, must win the fight... so just take the two steps and turn around and let Natalya squirt you" Sean said
"Fine, fine..." Terrance went back into position
"Take 2" Sean announced
The two made two steps and Natalya turned around and squirted Terrance in the chest this time. But Terrance didn't do anything after getting hit.
"Isn't the guard supposed to be dead?" Natalya asked
"OH!!" Terrance then fell to the ground realising that he was supposed to be dead
"CUT!" Sean shouted "You've got to die when Natalya shoots you..." Sean said
"Well you didn't say that DID you!" Terrance squirting a bit of water from his pistol at Sean
"Hey stop that! I thought it was obvious, you get shot you die... seems obvious to me" Sean replied
"Should Natalya fall if she's shot?" Daniel asked
"Why not... it took me ages to beat Kent" Sean said
"Well third time lucky" Foster said
"I tell you something, Terry going first takes a lot of pressure off me" Trent said
"Take 3!" Sean announced again
Natalya and Terrance made two steps away from each other then Natalya turned around and Terrance fired but Natalya sidestepped and then she turned around and nailed him again in the head, Terrance flopped to the ground dead.
"Excellent that was perfect" Sean said
"Yeah, yeah... can Trent have this turn now..." Terrance said
"Yup... I'm ready" Trent stepped into position
"Things are a bit different for you Trent... since the simulation of Jack will always try to hide from Jackie you have to do the same... so let's just place a wall of some kind" Sean said
"Another thing, no matter how many times Jack will shoot Jackie it does nothing..." Daniel said
"Ah yes... that's so funny..." Sean said
"Wait? So Jack actually hits Jackie?" Foster asked
"Yeah... but of course common made a slight slip up by keeping him as a friend instead as an enemy, it's not because Jack is a bad shot" Daniel explained
"He can still punch Jackie to kill her though" Sean finished
A/N: That is actually true, Jonathan doesn't miss Joanna in the duel but Rare had Jonathan marked as an ally instead of an enemy so his shots do absolutely nothing if they hit Joanna... ahha... so you can keep Jonathan busy all day as long as you stay out of range of his punches. Now that I think about it, Rare must have been really lazy in that level because they refer to him as Jonathan Dark, a name that had been dropped from all parts of the story except that one.
When Daniel and Sean had finished talking there was a wall of chairs set up.
"Well I guess that'll do..." Sean said "Begin the second match" Sean announced
Trent and Natalya took two steps away from each other but on the second step Trent turned around really fast and shot Natalya just as she finished her turn, so she dropped to the ground.
"Did you completely ignore us Trent..." Sean said
"Ah shut up... it's far cooler to be like Kent and shoot Jackie before she gets a good chance to react, rather then melon head Jack who runs around the room and fires pointlessly at Jackie" Trent rolled his eyes "I'll do it seriously this time" Trent sighed
"Take 2" Daniel said
"Hey that's my job..." Sean said
Trent and Natalya stood back to back again took two steps and Trent quickly ran behind the chairs, Natalya went behind the back of the chairs after him and just as she did Trent did a somersault on the ground and while he was doing that Natalya shot him but he was still doing the somersault and then did his death animation after he finished the somersault.
"Hey that was really great Trent" Daniel clapped and everybody else clapped too
Trent stood up and bowed "Thank you, I've been meaning to make fun of that part of the game for ages, they do a somersault and you shoot them then after doing the somersault they realise they are supposed to be dead..." Trent said
The final duel was Natalya versus Bob.
"Now this is hard, Kent's reactions are incredibly fast... so Natalya have you ever beaten this part of the game yourself?" Daniel asked
"Yes... may I use my own technique?" Natalya asked
"Go for it... Bob, just turn around and try to shoot Natalya..." Sean said
"Maybe we can do outtakes where sometimes Jackie gets killed by Bob... like I'm sure has happened to everybody at least once, that Kent has got them just as their shot misses or their tactic fails" Daniel said
Natalya and Bob stood back to back and took two steps. Natalya then ran towards the chairs and Bob shot just as she was running behind them and then he just waited for her to make her move... Natalya ducked out on the closer side of the chair wall and then ducked out again causing Bob to fire at where she was and then she suddenly came around the other side and accurately hit Bob with a brilliant shot to his head and Bob surprised by it fell to the ground flat on his back.
"That was perfect, if we do it like that for the actual thing it would work out great..." Daniel said
"It was just a fluke... I didn't think I'd actually hit him..." Natalya said
"It looked really good though, well let's move on" Sean said
After that day they practiced every school day after lunch until it was time to go home. Before they knew it, it was the weekend and some of the kids would dress as their favourite Perfect Light characters.
Jonathan's house
Jonathan's alarm was going off..."Man..." Jonathan grumbled... he looked at his clock "5.30... too early" Jonathan said pressing the snooze button
10 minutes later
"What now!?" Jonathan woke up again... "... damn, I forgot..." Jonathan jumped out of bed
Joanna and Velvet's house
"Joanna wake up!" Velvet shook her sister
"What... huh?" Joanna replied sleepily looking around her
"We've got to get going..." Velvet said hurriedly
"Velvet its only 6am, bother me in an hour" Joanna replied turning over
"Jo... its Saturday... the book? It's today?" Velvet said
"That's nice..." Joanna pulled the covers back over her and tried to get to sleep until she had registered what Velvet had said... "AHHHH crap!" Joanna jumped out of bed immediately
Grimshaw's house
"Screw this, I'm sleeping in" Grimshaw said turning off his alarm and falling back to sleep
Natasha's house
"Stupid alarm, why would it go off at 6am for..." Natasha asked herself
Of course as soon as she did the alarm on the other side of the room went off meaning she'd had to get out of bed to get it... and a sign dropped from the ceiling, it read... book released today.
"Ah yes" Natasha said remembering
Terrance's house
"Bloody shit! What's that sound!" Terrance shouted out then noticed the alarm... annoyed he threw it against the wall smashing it and fell back to sleep.
Cassandra's mansion
"Lady de Vries... it is time" Her butler said
"Go away..." Cassandra grouchily woke up
"But Miss De Vries, you asked me to wake you for the book release" her butler replied
"OH!! OH!! Yes...thank you" Cassandra stood up
As our kids around the town woke up, (well most of them anyway) and got changed, ate and all of that stuff they all headed to the bookstore opening at 7am. Jonathan was first to see the book store at 6.15, or so he thought, somebody else was already there.
"Hey Jonathan" Sean said, Daniel was also there
"What? How'd you get here before me?" Jonathan asked
"We slept the night here... only the truly pathetic who want to be first in line do this and we fit that description perfectly" Sean laughed
"Hey, I never thought of that... I wonder why nobody else tried" Jonathan said
"We were surprised too... but hey, I don't care..." Daniel said
About 30 minutes later Suzan, Natasha, Natalya, Velvet and Joanna showed up. A few other people were around now as well... including Cassandra, Trent, Xenia, James and Alec. Then the minutes slowly counted down, with Foster, Bob, Alec, Xenia and Boris finally showing up. With 5 minutes remaining Dimitri and Valentin also showed up but by this point the line had gotten huge. Needless to say our Perfect Dark characters were dressed as their Perfect Light counterparts.
1 minute was left
"Hey look there's Terry" Xenia pointed towards Terrance running towards them and shoving his way in much to somebody's displeasure but a death stare from Xenia, Alec, Trent and Cassandra instantly shut them up. They then noticed that Terrance was completely drenched yet there was no sign of clouds or rain at all.
"What happened to you!?" Cassandra asked
"My Dad woke me up... I forgot about today and got tipped out of bed then he threw a bucket of water over me to wake me up he says... I just got changed in a hurry and ran here" Terrance said
"That doesn't explain why your clothes are wet though" Cassandra said
"Oh, my stupid father threw another bucket of water over me as I was leaving" Terrance grumbled "just to check if your awake son" Terrance said doing a voice imitation of his father.
Trent then whispered to Cassandra
"Weren't Terry's parents killed in an explosion somewhere?" Trent asked"Yeah... when he says his father he means a guy who looks after him... don't tell him I told you this okay?" Cassandra whispered back
"Okay" Trent said
However just as somebody was going to open the doors they got on a loudspeaker without opening the doors. It seemed to be the shop owner
"For those of you waiting for through his eyes, I have bad news" The person said "The books have been stolen from the truck delivering them here..."
Murmurs filled the crowd
"How could this happen!" Daniel asked
"Somebody seemed adamant on making sure the delivery never arrived, we don't know why, there are people working on the case as we speak" The person told the group
Location: Unknown
"Welcome Miss Cristalina" A man greeted a mysterious woman who wore a long black matrix style coat. She was accompanied by another man who strangely looked like Jonathan from the future.
"Thank you" Cristalina replied. She spoke with a French accent and she brushed her long red hair backwards as she sat down.
"So? You have no idea who would want to sabotage your book?" The man turned his chair around to face the person speaking to him, he was dressed in a suit and tie, somebody next to the man also dressed in a suit and tie was typically in the shadows was standing next to the chair folding his arms looking intimidating.
"No... I have no idea why anybody would want to" Cristalina looked around the office it was well organised and tidy everything seemed to be in place. "Hey Adam or is it Peachrocks, isn't that Falco" Cristalina asked
"Yeah it's me... and that's Jonathan he's your protection I guess" Falco said
"His name is Jeffrey, and no he's more my assistant but I guess I get him to do all the dirty work... hey wait a minute, you and Mel are responsible for the radio incident... Jeffrey get him!" Cristalina shouted... then started typing on a laptop
"Yeah whatever" Jeffrey pulled out a chain saw from nowhere
"Eep!" Falco said and jumped out the window and Jeffrey jumped out after him...
Cristalina and the man both gave a long sigh.
"Aw they wrecked the formal clean good look of what is supposed to be a spy like agency or something like that" Peachrocks grumbled "But oh yes... I can use my author powers" Peachrocks typed on his computer next to him and the window was repaired.
"Well yes... anyway, to make this entire situation worse author powers won't work on this thief..." Cristalina said "I came here because I want you to get it back... Jeffrey is too much of a wimp to do it..." Cristalina finished
"You want me personally to do it?" The man asked "Let me try this..." Peachrocks then typed 'Cristalina's books were delivered' but as soon as he did his words were removed from the screen
"No way, I can't do this myself, I'm not in for dirty work" Peachrocks replied
"I have this..." Cristalina pulled a piece of paper and Peachrocks took it
"Owe 1 favour... signed Peachrocks... aw crap... an IOU I wrote... what was it you did for me again?" Peachrocks asked as he pocketed the note
"I gave you a new laptop when your computer crashed..." Cristalina said
"Damn... so you did... and thanks too... otherwise hey, those updates would have been delayed for weeks" Peachrocks said "Hey since I'm running a spy agency in this chapter, I can get an agent to do it... but unfortunately people only take jobs if the pay is worth it... so either way, I'm paying up" Peachrocks finished as he pressed a button on his desk.
As soon as he did another woman walked in.
"Spiderbear, find who stole Cristalina's books... then retrieve them by any means necessary and please don't be tempted to kill the thief in the most gory way you can think of in public... at least wait until nobody is watching" Peachrocks said
"Damn, that alone would have been good enough for me to do it for just that..." Spiderbear said
"If you complete the mission, you can slaughter Slippy as often as you like" Peachrocks said "Hey I'm feeling generous so you can have some of your pay now" Peachrocks then summoned Slippy
"Come back here!" Spiderbear fired a few shots off at the annoying toad
"Man, in some areas of Australia cane toad's are considered pests yet some still insist on not killing them... that makes no sense" Peachrocks said "Fortunately not where I live"
"I know she'll be able to do it, but I wonder how will she do it?" Cristalina asked
"The kids will of course have a part in this recovering of 'through his eyes' as well, just so it doesn't become entirely a fic about real people, but can you tell me what happens in through his eyes?" Peachrocks asked
"No" Cristalina said
"Please?" Peachrocks asked
"No" Cristalina replied firmly
"Ah bugger that..." Peachrocks turned his chair back to the window and continued to watch Falco and Jeffrey slaughter each other.
Will the psycho, gore loving reviewer Spider-bear be able to recover 'Through his eyes' or will Cristalina's story remain a mystery to the world forever.
This is a tribute to the two reviewers who have reading my stuff since I started so I spoke to them both about what role they'd like to play for a short time in the story... Cristalina is a famous author and Spiderbear is known for admitting that she's silly and random (or crazy but that's okay I KNOW I am crazy) and she likes gore so making her spy/mercenary was very fitting. Also everybody knows my real name now, but it's no secret, check some of my reviews... it's mentioned quite a few times (doesn't matter to me though).
