Hello everyone. Well, since the next chapter is not finished and I have this...weird need to update, I am giving you guys a random chapter that has absolutely nothing to do with the story, but I want to write one anyways! It's one of our shorter missions...I just realized I never really write about the smaller ones so...here we go!
Disclaimer: I don't own
Mission # 653: Crayon Plan
It is Saturday. An abnormally beautiful Saturday, with a shining sun, white puffy clouds, and temperatures so high you can wear shorts and a tanktop and still be burning. All in the middle of January. Now if there is not something fishy about that, then some people are just plain mental. But then again, some people don't have to worry about fighting demons and maintaining good grades all the time. So while those some people are spending their Saturday at the pool, the beach, or just hanging out with friends chatting, the Destinies are having demon guts spilled all over them.
Their mission had been to infiltrate a demon castle hidden in the darkest parts of the human world--New York City. The castle is invisible, looking like an abandoned tower to the normal humans. But to Yusuke and Co...yes, it looks like a castle. Their plan had been to stealthily sneak in and pick off the weaker demons one by one until they could get to the main boss. But, lo behold, a flaw appeared in the otherwise brilliant plan drawn out for them by Yusuke and Kuwabara. They should have known the plan was doomed to fail when the two explained it with crayons...
But, as stated, there was a flaw. So busy with demons, the group had completely forgotten about the human aspects of the castle. Mainly the security cameras. So while their plan had been perfect in the sense that no demons had spotted them, but they had given themselves away so blatantly...well, the group is not sure if they will ever be able to show their faces in Spirit World again. They are now hanging by their wrists from the cieling, watching the demon they are supposed to be killing right now slaughter all of his lower demons for letting the eight get so far.
Thus, the blood flies all over them. The groups skin is completely covered with purple blood now after the seventh dead demon. Olivia chokes as the demons blood enters her mouth, filling it with such a vile, disgusting flavor that she cant help but shudder. The demon they were sent to kill, Naluk, ceases the killing and dismisses everyone else from the room. They go very quickly, happy that they will not be the next to die. Naluk rises from his "throne" and goes over to Olivia, touching her chin. She bites at him.
"There, there--you girls will become more docile as soon as I'm finished with you."
The Destinies only responses are to send a stream of swear words at the demon. He is very much like Hiei in the fact that he has a human side to him that he can convert to at any time. He is like that now. With brilliant brown eyes, messy black hair that cannot be tamed, and a nice smile, the Destinies are not surprised that opposite to them there are so many other skeletons. Both girls and boys.
"My aren't we the fiesty ones. Perhaps if I..." Naluk takes a long claw and drags it down Yusuke's arm, watching the blood spill out. The Destinies are instantly quiet.
"Hey, hey, what was that for ya bastard!" Yusuke struggles.
"Because for a human you have exquisite skin."
oO Everyone shivers as the demon turns his eyes on Hiei and Kurama. The way he's staring at them...it suggests a lot.
"Ah the demon traitors. I should say you and feed you to the dogs. But I think it will hurt you more if I play with you..."
'Oh good god.' Olivia looks at Hiei and tries to send this thought to him, shocked when she feels something like a bolt of electricity flash through her body. She is barely able to hears Naluk as he 'tut tuts' her and explain special qualities of their chains. Basically, no powers can be activated or used.
"Now," he snaps his fingers and the chains--though still attached to their wrists--drop from the cieling. The eight land with an "oomph." One of the larger guard demons strides up to Hiei and KUrama, yanking them up and removing them from sight. Two more then enter: one takes the Destinies and unceremoniously drags them by their chains out the door, ignoring their screams of protest. The other takes Yusuke and Kuwabara. And thus the eight are seperated.
oOo
Naluk lead the Destinies up to his personal bedchamber where they are now feasting messily on chicken, ribs, and steak: demon-style. This of course means still covered in blood. It's no ramen but at this point the four will take whatever they can get. Once finished, they face Naluk with suspicious faces.
"Something was in the food."
It isn't a question, or a statment. It is a command for him to spill whatever it is he has to say. He smiles widely at the girls. They watch him warily as he laces his fingers together and moves closer to them.
"Just what I'd expected from the Rekai girls. Of course there was something in the food. A pill that allows me to control you."
As Naluk picks up a glass of wine and drains it, he misses the furtive glances the Destinies give each other.
"You know we've beaten worse than you."
"I'm well aware," Naluk calmly replies. "But you had the others watching your back, no? I figure that all four of you have some emotional connection to one of those bosy. Except the oaf perhaps. Who could ever--"
"Love him? For once, I agree Naluk." Vanessa declares boldly.
"Really? Well for that, you and the other blond shall be spared from going first. I'll take the demons instead."
"What both of us?" Nissi asks. "That is wrong."
"Not really," Naluk replies nonchalantly. "I will break all four of you until you've forgotten about the others. Then I'll break them. In more ways than one..."
Nissi and Olivia shiver as he leads them into the inner part of his bedroom. Meagan and Vanessa are confused for a moment, pondering as to why he would just leave them sitting in the open with every chance to escape. They then remember the cursed chains wrapped around their wrists, and the fact that seven or more demons are situated outside the door. 'Crap...' The two plunk down on the floor and attempt to get rid of the chains. Sadly, they are very strong despite what they look like.
"Disturbing...how the heck are we supposed to get out of this one?"
"I'd say we should clap our hands twice and say 'Avitas' but that would be dumb."
"Better than what we've been doing," Meagan advises.
"Alright then..." Clap! Clap! "AVITAS!"
The two scream in pain as the chains immediately unlock and fall onto the two girls legs. They stare at each other, wide eyed and panicking. "It actually worked..."
"So let's go have some fun."
oOo
"Gah! This place is full of spiders!" Vanessa shudders, clutching at Meagan's shoulders.
"Sh! You're going to get us caught!"
Shh... The two freeze as a gust of wind flies through the narrow tunnel in which they are crawling. They had entered the tunnel through a trapdoor in the cieling, and are now making their way to the dungeon to rescue Yusuke and Kuwabara. But when they reach the two, a thought enters their mind.
"Hmm...you two are kind of the reason we're stuck here."
"W-wha?" Kuwabara stutters. "How was it our fault?"
"YOU AND YOUR CRAYON PLAN!" the two shout.
A door cracks open and a face peers in upon the two members of the Rekai Tantei, but they see nothing. That is because Vanessa and Meagan have teleported onto the cieling. How they are able to do this...I don't know but they do, thus avoiding the demonic guards. And when the door closes, the two drop down, landing on the ground with grace. With waves and smiles, the two move on leaving Yusuke and Kuwabara trapped in their cell. And there they shall remain for quite some time.
Meanwhile, Kurama and Hiei are being made fun of by the other demon guards who know fully well that if the iron bars seperating them from the demon traitors were suddenly to disappear, their butts would be as good as dead. Especially with all the evil looks Hiei is giving them right now... But as the bars are not going to deteriate any time soon, the four guards poke and prod at the demons, warning that their girls are soon going to forget them. Kurama places one hand on Hiei's shoulder, calming the shaking demon. How I'd love to kill them... Kurama closes his eyes and sighs.
It is only when the four sense a strange rumbling coming at them do they stop instigating. Suddenly they are surrounded by not one but twenty Meagans all forming a ball of twisting air in their palms. With a "whee" they let the balls go, and the twenty or so balls encase the four guards in their prison, tearing apart their tough flesh in a matter of seconds. All that is left when the air abates is a pile of tattered, bloody clothing. Meagan punches the air, happy to have been of service.
"Clap your hands twice and say 'avitas' and the chains should fall off," Meagan holds up her own hands to demonstrate.
Once the evil chains have been ditched, the three run off to kill anymore demons they can before moving on to the 'boss' as it were. "By the way--where's Vanessa?" Kurama asks.
Bzzz... Vanessa flies above the heads of the guards, loving the feeling of weightlessness she is feeling at the moment. Ah, it's good to be a fly. And now, it's time to save her poor friends. The thought of what Naluk is doing to them at the moment only encourages her to fly faster and find a way into the heavily guarded room before something more terrible and irreversible happens. Kurama and Hiei will go on a killing spree if that happens. A crack in the wall looks particularly inviting, so she heads for it.
ZZZT! Mentally coughing at the shock she has just recieved, Vanessa slowly flies away. Maybe not then... Another, much tinier, crack appears. Wary, Vanessa has to slip into the form of a smaller insect to fit through this one but she is not shocked so success! She has entered the stronghold of the demon Naluk. Vaguely she wonders why they were sent to kill him in the first place. Something about trafficking demon girls or something... Huh. She'll just have to ask Kurama when they are finished.
Something huge shoots at her head and she has to morph into a dust particle to avoid it. Thus avoided, it is back to fly position for her. Angrily she looks down upon the demon and her friends, wondering who sent that item flying at her. They will have to be punished. Apparently it was Olivia, as Nissi is just now letting an object fly out of her hand and Olivia is stooping down to get another one. Naluk is simply dodging them with ease, a smirk playing at his lips.
"Now you will obey me. I've let you have your fun. Come here, my pets."
Suddenly the girl's eyes glaze over as they sluggishly move over towards Naluk. Vanessa flies down to Nissi's ear, whispering instructions. She's lucky--Nissi nearly smashes her with a fist. But then...she realizes that it is Vanessa.
Clap, clap. "Avitas!"
"H-huh? Nissi what the heck did you do?"
"Copy me!"
Clap, clap. "Avitas!"
Naluk's eyes widen as both of the girls chains fell off their wrists. It is then that Vanessa chooses to morph into herself and stab her claws into Naluk's back. The door bursts open as Naluk hits the ground, and Kurama, Hiei, and Meagan enter covered in splotches of blood. Naluk rotates his head to stare at the Destinies, mouth forming into a surprised 'o' before gasping out,
"But...the control pill..."
"Hah!" the Destinies laugh. "We've eaten the most disgusting food ever! The worst human food in existence. You think some demon-styled food with a pill is enough to control us?"
And those are the last words Naluk hears before he drops his head lightly onto the floor, dead. And what do the Destinies do now? They go party.
New York City at night is certainly a sight to behold. And since the mission was finished earlier than expected, the Destinies, Hiei, and Kurama have a while to relax before the portal to Spirit World comes to take them back. So they go out and enjoy the Big Apple for the night. With the money that Koenma gave them before this mission they rent out a big, fancy room in a big, fancy hotel and just relax. Then they go out to eat, ordering a big fancy meal and eating until content. And where are Kuwabara and Yusuke during this? Well...still stuck at the castle. Which, as the Destinies now notice, is located on the ruins of the Twin Towers.
Upon recieving this information the Destinies take a moment to honor those lost before heading back to their hotel. As usual, Vanessa takes the floor and Olivia takes the windowsill leaving Kurama and Hiei with one bed and Meagan and Nissi with another. But in the end Hiei moves next to Olivia and Nissi moves with Kurama, leaving Meagan with one bed all to herself. And like that they fall asleep.
In the morning, an hour before they are due to leave back home, they go and collect Yusuke and Kuwabara. The two are quite alright, but rather hungry and cross at the others for leaving them locked in a cell when they really did nothing wrong.
"Oh," Vanessa assures them, "you wouldn't have really enjoyed N.Y.C. Really dull."
"Yeah," the others chime in. "Very dull."
Hiei slices the gate open, allowing the two freedom. And while Meagan instructs them how to rid themselves of the pesky chains, Kurama prepares the others for the portal. Because the Destinies have made some...mistakes...when it comes to the portal back to Spirit World. One time they dislocated their shoulders because of it, and another time they'd lost their eyes. All of them. But this time, as the portal opens up for them and Yusuke and Kuwabara jump in, it seems that they will be making no mistakes.
Another mission completed.
Whoo, the fourth chapter is kinda long and I have to make sure that I play it out right so it might take a while to update. So until then you get bonus chapters. Yay bonus chapters! And since I haven't really gone into depth about our other missions...here you go. Heh. X3 review please!
