Cherushii-In this order: Shank! It's Super Kevin! In some states. Chicken 'n Stars! I like shinies! Armor ON! cHAse! I love my cannibal! Other guy! And, Rawr! World Peace!
Setting: An old abandoned theater. Present day.
Chase ran in first, quickly striking with a right punch.
Shix was barely able to dodge it, and was hit with a Japanese thrust kick.
He skidded back, and Chase followed up with another right punch.
Shix finally got his turn, after an unavoidable barrage of strikes. He landed a right back knuckle to Chase's jaw, and accompanied it with a hammerfist to the same spot.
He tried to roundhouse kick Chase's ribs, but Chase caught his foot and spun him around. He kicked Shix in the back of the head, sending him forward and down to the ground.
"Are you ready to surrender and let me kill you?" Chase asked him.
Shix growled while slowly rising. "Never. I'm not stopping until you're dead."
Chase shrugged. "Suit yourself."
Chase ran in to attack again, and landed more punches before Shix fell once more.
After a few more rallies of this, Shix smirked and chuckled while rising.
"Look who's waking up." He observed, looking past Chase.
Chase turned to look as well, and saw KJ rising.
The bodies of Amy, Kacie, Carmen, and Serena were gone- their energy conbined with KJ's own caused her to recover the quickest.
"Alright." She began to ask, standing up. "Who are you, where am I, and what's going on?"
Shix laughed softly. "It seems as though your little plan worked."
"What plan?" KJ demanded to know. "I'll start getting pissed if someone doesn't start explaining."
Her eyes flashed orange for a brief moment.
"I'll explain later." Chase assured her.
Shix cackled. "For you, there will be no later!"
Growing frustrated, Chase walked up to Shix, and swiftly extended a hand, grabbing him by the throat.
"I am becoming sick of hearing your voice." He said in a low, threatening voice. He squeezed harder on Shix's throat, his hand sliding farther up his neck.
Able to somehow reach, Shix broke the hold by biting down, hard, on Chase's hand.
Chase snatched his hand back, and brought it to his mouth.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Shix laughed, holding his neck.
Chase warily lowered his hand, eyeing the bleeding wound on it that was protruding through his glove.
"Poison."
Chase turned his head to see KJ standing next to him.
"Don't move-it'll spread."
"I know about poison wounds." Chase snapped. "What I don't know is that you, Shix, have poisonous fangs."
Shix smirked and took something out of his mouth.
It looked like a plastic material, with two small needles where his canine teeth would be.
"The support bar contains the poison, which I injected into you through the needles. It fits into my mouth like a retainer...I was honestly worries that I wasn't going to get to use it." He explained.
"This doesn't mean you've won." KJ informed him. "I'm guessing that you're the 'bad guy'...no decent fighter would poison their opponent."
She turned to Chase with a smile. "Worse comes to worse, after I'm done with him, I can always kill you too."
With a smirk, she turned into Kacie and turned back to Shix.
"Ready?" She asked.
Shix smirked as well. "I suppose it is a waste, but I'll enjoy destroying you before Chase's eyes."
Kacie groaned. "He was right-you talk too much."
She ran in and easily began to pummel Shix.
"Oh come on." She laughed. "You can put up some sort of fight."
She put her hands behind her head.
"One free shot. Go ahead." She offered.
Glaring at her, Shix threw a punch that hit her square in the face.
She only smirked as he drew his hand back.
"That was the last hit you'll ever land." She told him.
Kacie countered the punch with a wheel kick that reached up to Shix's head.
He crashed to the ground.
"No..." He managed to breathe. "My plan...was perfect...how?"
He never got an answer, because Kacie turned into Carmen and extended her right hand, encasing Shix in flames.
When he was nothing more than ashes, Carmen turned back into Kj, and walked over to Chase.
"Give me your hand-the one with the poison in it." SHe told him.
He offered up his right hand.
"You aren't going to suck the poison out...are you?"
She rolled her eyes and pulled off his glove.
"No, I'm going to break your wrist and somehow hack it off." She replied.
Chase turned his head. Knowing KJ, she'd risk herself to help him...but that was when she knew who he was. There was no telling why she was doing it now.
He continued to look away as she sucked the remaining poison out of his hand.
"What about yourself? Won't the poison effect you?" Chase felt compelled to ask. He felt as though he knew the answer, but in his current state of being, he couldn't remember.
KJ sighed. "I have multiple personalities. Since there are technically five of me, the poison is evenly distributed. The dose won't be fatal, but I'll be sick for awhile. The poison didn't get very far through your body, so you'll be fine." She explained, after pulling her mouth away from Chase's hand.
She blushed while wiping the area clean with part of her jacket.
"Sorry about that...Now would you mind explaining this whole thing?'
It was Chase's turn to sigh, but as reluctant as he was, he explained the whole story to KJ.
When he finished, she raised one eyebrow.
"So then why don't I know who that Shix guy is? He's not you, so the momory thing shouldn't have worked on him...right?" She asked.
"Because I was the reason you became involved in the Shix incident, you don't remember him as well...understand?"
KJ slowly nodded.
Chase sighed again. "You don't believe me...do you?"
She shook her head. "Your story makes sense...and all of the pieces fit...but no, sorry, I don't believe you. Plus, your story didn't really give me a whole lot of good reasons for me to believe you. It doesn't sound like you're an honest person."
Chase walked right into that one...he was well enough to know that.
He grimaced and slowly stood up.
"I extend to you an apprenticeship." He told her. "I can re-teach you everything that you once learned from me."
"Yeah, learned while I was enslaved by you. I think that I'll take my chances out in the bright scary world." KJ retorted with a laugh. "I know enough about this world that I can survive in it."
Chase couldn't help but laugh as well. "The only parts of your life that you remember clearly are the years before you first met me, and the years inbetween that and our next encounter."
KJ frowned. He was exactly right. "You don't have a very good point. I don't need you to survive." She argued.
Chase smirked. "That may be true, but think about it- if you come with me, you could learn all that you used to know. Isn't it tempting?"
KJ continued to frown. "You're a very cruel, heartless person." She infromed him.
He only continued to smirk.
She sighed. "Fine. If I become your apprentice, you'll somehow manage to make me remember everything...right?"
Chase nodded. "As well as thoroughly convince you of your former feelings."
"Exactly-wait. What feelings?" She asked suspiciously.
Chase realized with dread that he had forgotten to mention that part in his explanation.
KJ's eyes widened when she figured it out.
"So, I used to-"
"Yes." He said quickly, cutting her off. "And we should probably try to get back to the citadel before the poison starts to take effect."
Still distracted with the thought of having feelings for Chase, KJ absent mindedly nodded.
As he watched her walk out of the theater, Chase sighed heavily.
He didn't know how long it would take for her to remember, or if she even would, but he did know that it wouldn't be easy.
"Are you coming?" She yelled out to him. "I don't know where I'm supposed to go or how I'm going to get there!"
Sighing once more, Chase snapped his fingers with a slight chuckle, rounding up the jungle cats. He joined KJ outside, and led her to his citadel, along the way, bracing himself for the challenges that lay ahead.
This
may never start.
We could fall apart.
And I'd be your
memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings insincere.
Can I

So get back, back, back to where we
lasted.
Just like I imagined.
I could never feel this way.
So
get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating
faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never
start.
I'll tear us apart.
Can I be your enemy?

a year.
Waiting for you here
I'd be your anything
So get

Just like I imagined
I

disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the
same.
This may never start.
Tearing out my heart.
I'd be
your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
(I'd be your
memory)
Feelings disappeared.
Can I be your memory?
So
get back, back, back to where we lasted
Just like I imagined
I
could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the
disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the
same.
This could never start.
We could fall apart
And
I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings
insincere.
