Monsters and Magic: Burning Finale
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hi everyone! I am back, and also very relieved to see that the site here has fixed the problem with Doc Manager. Now, I can upload like normal again! Ha! It really does feel good to know I can write in my regular format, and be at my best now when writing chapters!
Before anything else, want to give praise and thanks to God & Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for helping me during the times that this site was giving me a headache since I could not upload my documents due to the glitch or bug it had. More importantly, thank you for helping me with this novel. I really dedicate this novel to you Lord, and also to the many readers and fans out there that like this story! Please lend me more of your courage and conviction into making each chapter long and worthwhile to read, and to really be an incredible story for all to read. Thank you once again God!
I almost forgot to mention one thing in my previous chapter! I got the generators from seeing one of my old fave cartoon shows of the past, Sonic the Hedgehog or more commonly called Sonic SatAM since it was always featured on Saturday mornings. Man, the cartoons of the 1980s and 1990's rocked! In my opinion, still better than most of the cartoon shows shown today. Ah, well… in any case, just wanted to let you know I got the generator image and idea from seeing the ones that were in Dr. Robotnik's Robotropolis. Sonic, Sally and Bunnie blew it up of course.
In this chapter, see the Disney Rescue Team (DRT) show their stuff as they do what they can to save their friends from the clutches of Lady Momoko! I will do my best here, since action sequences are a bit more difficult to write and also need to make sure that things fall into proper place. Still a big fan of 80s and 90's action rescues, be it real live or cartoon, so expect to see some cultural references here! If you can spot them, that is. Hehehe…
I had to go back some chapters to make sure I got the weapons right, who has what, and also the abilities of both weapons and psychic users. It's a bit of a pain, but it's all well worth it in the end! If any of you spot anything I may have missed on, please let me know.
This chapter will also end in a climatic showdown between the forces of Good and Evil, so get some snacks and drinks ready! Grab any of your Disney friends and enjoy the show! Also, just to remind you, I am using the Alice from the classic Disney cartoon movie. Not the one that is featured by Tim Burton. Please look to past novels to see what I mean.
Also, I still keep hoping and checking YouTube to see if anyone has done a video review on any of my novels.
I do not own Godzilla or any of the characters & monsters that officially belong to Toho, nor do I own any of the characters and places that officially belong to the Walt Disney Company. I do own my OC creations, and most of the songs used in the novel so far. Any song I use that is by another artist/artists, I will give him/her/them their proper dues and credits as it is their right.
Now, on with the novel!)
Chapter 27
When Miki and the rest of the DRT went inside the Crimson Katana complex, it was chaotic. Sirens wailed on all levels, red lights flashed on and off in many places, and many of the remaining thugs & gang members of the deadly yakuza organization were going to various places to check on what was wrong. Chris had told the team to stick to the shadows and walls, not wanting to draw any attention at all. He whispered to them, "Okay, stick to walls and make use of the shadows to move. Even with our accessories and magic, going up against almost 500 enemies pushing it. So try to be quiet and quick at all time.". The entire company nodded their heads, and followed Arisu as she was the one most knowledgeable about the layout of the building.
They managed to evade and hide from some of the members as they were talking frantically while running with their weapons drawn. Chinatsu-san led the team down a long corridor until they found themselves on the Main Floor. Each of the humans were carrying some equipment on them that would aid them in this mission. Joseph Sustaita was wearing his unique light-gray Kevlar gloves, his trusty M1911 Colt pistol in a holster on his left side, his green collapsible baton on his right, four small but extremely sharp throwing knives in a small pouch near his baton, and his USMC KA-BAR knife in a protective pouch near his pistol.
Alice was carrying her special potion, ready to use it when need be. The concoction would increase and enhance the one who drank from it their abilities and/or powers greatly, but only for an hour. Regina had a hand on her pendent necklace, ready to activate it and bring forth her unique shield that would help them out in a pinch.
Daimon Lavestia was carring a Blaser RP3 German rifle, night-vision goggles that had been modified by a joint-partnership between the JSDF and G-Force, two bowling pin smoke grenades by his side, and a face mask that was hung around his neck. The night vision goggles used to be big and bulky, but thanks to the combined efforts of G-Force and the JSDF, it was small and more compact. He had opted to take just these weapons, since he did have other skills and abilities that would be useful.
Captain Chris Anderson & pilot Anthony were carrying the same things, but they were also carrying three small blocks of C4 explosives that they believed to be useful in the mission. Arisu was carrying only night-vision goggles, smoke grenades, face mask and also carrying four small blocks of C4. She was no good with firearms, so she improvised to be support rather than offensive.
Miki was carrying the same equipment as well, but carrying the additional four Mini-Bombs that Zarina gave to her earlier. The psychic beauty was quite surprised at her actions, her being a passive being by nature especially with her psychic powers. But she thought, 'Sometimes… you need do what is right in order to save your friends!'. So therefore, she was all ready to provide support in any way she could! Though her powers were fading, she would still give it her all to save Melody and the others!
The pixies stayed close to Daimon and Miki, while the mice were in Anthony's pocket. The small beings had used up their Mini-Bombs, but still had fifteen Sticky Bombs that they believed to be useful later on.
All of them were excited, scared, nervous and pumped up all at once! Excited that they were really doing something that many often dreamed of doing, scared because there was still a very good chance that they would not make it out alive, nervous due to the extreme danger that was all around them… and pumped up because they were doing this to save their friends from perhaps a fate worse than death itself!
The group were doing good so far, until three group members came onto the scene. It was two men and one woman, all wearing business suits and armed to the teeth with automatic weapons! Arisu whispered, "Quick! In here!". The company went behind a double-door that was close to them, ducking into the room and hiding until the trio passed over them. The humans and magical beings watched from the portholes that were on the door, peeking out and seeing that the enemy had moved on. Letting out a sigh, Chris asked on where they were at.
Arisu looked around through the flashing red lights and answered, "We are in the Training Room. It's a place where the members can hone their physical and fighting skills.". Indeed, the room they were in was large and was built like a gymnasium with mats and training equipment scattered in various places. Joseph and Daimon walked more into the room, and spotted something on the far wall. The two psychics from Section M went to it, and saw that it was a rack of sort that held all kinds of weapons that they mostly saw in martial arts movies. Joseph took some sais, while Daimon took some nunchuks.
Mr. Lavestia commented, "I will give this to these Crimson Katana goons. They sure keep some good toys here, and in good condition.". Joseph agreed with him, checking out the weapons that were in prime shape.
Anthony hissed to them, "Guys, focus! We need to find a way to go up from here, but without getting caught!". Iridessa and the pixies flew around the area, than the Light-talented fairy saw some stairs that led to the second floor. Arisu stated that it would work, since some of the higher-ups including Lady Momoko herself would come to inspect any new recruits that held potential but only from above since she believed herself to be higher than all the rest. While technically it was true, it still showed a form of arrogance.
Chris whispered, "Okay, let's get going before something bad happens.". The group went towards the stairs, but it seemed that what Capt. Anderson just stated came true. Just as Arisu was going up the steps, she took some steps back and the others followed suit. The reason why… four armed goons came down the stairs! The reason for this was that these four had been sent by their superior to investigate all areas in the lower levels, so it was just by sheer bad luck on the forces of Good's part that they ran into this four.
It was two women and two men, armed with MAC-11 submachine guns as they thought it was serious that someone had managed to infiltrate and damage their central hub so badly. One of the women looked to Arisu and asked surprised, "Arisu-san? Why are you…?". He question was halted as she saw Miki Saegusa and the others, plus the flying pixies that was so stunned by the appearance of the other humans emerging from the darkness like that they had no time to take cover.
One of the men exclaimed, "She is a traitor! She's with the ones that we just heard over the walkie-talkies! Take them all down!". They all leveled the submachine guns at them, Arisu and the others wide-eyed that they had been caught like this. However, it was the mice to the rescue!
Filimore and the others came out from Anthony's pocket and yelled out, "Okay everyone! Sticky bombs in those guns! Ready… NOW!". The four furry heroes and heroines took aim and threw their honey-colored projectiles as hard they could! It seemed that luck and skill was with them, as the small objects impacted right on target into opening of the guns! Once it hit, the Sticky Bombs expanded greatly and covered up both the outside and a little bit of the inside of the MAC-11's! The yakuza members pulled the triggers and fired… only for their weapons to explode as the compound held tight and caused a backfire that destroyed the weapons completely.
Anthony looked down at the Charming companions and stated, "Thank you my friends! Now the tables have turned! Let's take these goons down and move forward!". The others, snapping out from their surprise, agreed with their comrade one-hundred percent as they all charged towards the four members!
~In the Dream Realm~
While the DRT crew were handling the problem in the Training Room facility, Ariel and the others in the Dream Realm were having a bit of problems of their own. Lady Momoko had them pinned down by her own conjured Crimson Katana members as they kept the firepower on the ladies and their bonded monsters. The conjured kaiju were protecting their creators from the bullets, using their bodies as living shields to protect them from harm. Cinderella looked to Ariel and exclaimed over the noise of the gunfire, "We need to get to Momoko, but we're in a bit of a spot here! Any ideas?!".
The former mermaid was about to reply when something caused everyone to pause. The gunfire ceased, and they soon heard screaming from their enemy. The monsters and Disney women looked to see the Crimson Katana members fading from reality, and also that Momoko herself was looking rather transparent right now. The villainess screamed in frustration, "No! Not now! Not now…!". In a matter of seconds, she was gone and the whole company relaxed that their foe was no more. Cateline and the others ceased their focus, causing the monsters to vanish in the same manner as the others.
The Fairy Godmother commented, "Thank Heaven she's gone. I don't think I would have maintained the focus if her forces kept up their attack.". Creating the Dream Realm's current landscape, and bringing forth the monsters took much focus and concentration from all of them. It strained their minds in the same manner as Momoko did when she was hooked up to her machine, but it seemed that they were the stronger being when it came to mental capabilities. Each of the girls bid a fond farewell, and also saying thank you to the monsters before they ceased to exist.
Tracy commented, "What do you think happened to her? Did she overstrain herself like last time?". The daughter of Cinderella was relieved that their nemesis was gone, but also worried that Lady Momoko would take out her frustration on their real, physical bodies while they were still vulnerable.
Anna replied, "I don't think so. I believe that something is going on in the real world, and it forced her out from the realm. I think… I think that someone is trying to rescue us!". Now that brought some relief to the crew, but Lady Benedtika was a bit skeptical. She inquired on how she knew for sure that they were being rescued, and that this attempt was the very thing that forced Lady Momoko to vanish.
The fiery queen of Arendelle answered, "I just believe it to be so. Not so as a hunch… but more as something of faith. I just believe that someone is making the attempt to rescue us, and that is what forced the witch to vanish.". That answer was good enough for the matriarch of the North Mountain trolls, who just smiled slightly and believed in her friend.
Elsa commented, "Since our saviors have bought us some time, let's come up with another plan of action just in case. I feel that we're still under the effects of the serum that is in our bodies, so we might be here awhile.". The ladies agreed with the Ice Queen, human and magical beings bringing their heads together once more to come up with something to counter Momoko again in case she came back.
~In the real world~
Said leader of the deadly yakuza gang in Tokyo woke up from her induced state, her head pounding from utilizing the Wave Amplifier for so long. It was further aggravated by the alarm systems wailing. She held her head with her right hand as she stumbled a little off from her seat and exclaimed, "What is going on?! What happened!?". The two scientists who had been with her this entire time went to help their leader, balancing and steadying her.
One of them answered, "It's the Power Generators on the 2nd floor! Something must have happened to them, because the entire building is on Emergency reserve! And we just got word from our walkie-talkies that the Security Room has been taken out! We're under some form of attack!". Now that surprised the beautiful woman, who had long since believed that nothing short of an army could possibly infiltrate her headquarters in this kind of fashion. She shrugged off her helpers, looking around to see that her captives were still locked down securely & knocked out.
Her brain, even though it was still hammering at her due to what happened in the Dream Realm, caught on the situation and realized on what was happening. She exclaimed, "Someone must be attempting a rescue! I'm going to my quarters to prepare! Post six guards around my 'guests' so that the attempt fails! You two go to the Generator Room and see what is going on!". She than started to walk away, going through a secret door that allowed her to access her personal quarters that were on the very top of the building. While arrogant, let it be said that Lady Momoko was not stupid in the tactical sense.
The scientists felt that things were spiraling out of control, but they would do as their boss ordered. One of the scientists exclaimed, "I'll get six guards to be posted here! You go on ahead to the Generator Room, and I'll catch up with you later!". His partner nodded and took off quick towards the damaged area. His comrade brought up a walkie-talkie and told for six Elite Members to come to the 6th floor for guard detail. Elite Members were those high in the hierarchy of the gang, those that were highly experienced in combat and strategy.
Down below the levels in the Training Room, the four yakuza members were having a tough time with the rescue team. Joseph and Daimon worked to take down the female fighters, Anthony and Chris in locked combat with the remaining two male members. Mr. Sustaita found out that the females of the Crimson Katana were equally deadly as the males, perhaps even more so as the evil ladies demonstrated that they knew martial arts quite well. He blocked with his Kevlar gloves the punches and kicks that were raining down on him.
The female goon smirked arrogantly and commented, "Not bad, but unfortunately you're in over your head, Hero!". Unfortunately, as her arrogance grew, so did her over-exaggerated moves. She tried a right roundhouse kick, but Joseph countered this by catching the offending appendage instead of blocking. He then punched down hard on the knee area with his gloves, adding extra damage as the woman suddenly yelped in pain that was now shooting through her system. He held on, and actually did an overhead throw by lifting her up by the right leg! The woman cried out in surprise, than in pain as she landed hard on the mat. She tried to recover, but Rosetta came in and dealt a good kick to her nose that made the female yakuza member yelp slightly in surprise.
"Humph! Acting so uncivilized! Joseph, please knock her out now!", she stated. The psychic-user nodded, bring his opponent up to his face and delivering a quick but stunning blow to her temple that knocked her out good.
Mr. Sustaita stated to his fallen foe, "I'm normally a lover to the ladies, not a fighter. But unfortunately for you, I made an exception.". He turned to see how the others were doing.
Daimon was in a bit of a spot, as the woman he was fighting was beautiful, but also a grappler as she was holding him in a headlock and refusing to let go. She twisted his head and neck a lot, making him wince in pain every time as she growled out, "This is what happens when you try to take on the Crimson Katana, fool!". Normally, Daimon would not harm a lady as it was against his code of honor. But he realized it was time to make an exception, especially when said woman was on the side of Evil. He was about to retaliate, but help came from an unexpected source, which was Miki!
Saegusa-san saw that her friend was losing ground, and was thinking fast on how to help him out. She looked down to see the nunchuk he examined earlier. She ran to where the weapons laid, grabbed it and ran towards her foe with the linked weapon swinging in her hand! The yakuza gang member heard a cry, and looked up just in time to see Miki just bring down the solid end of the weapon right down on her head! The evil beauty groaned loudly in pain as she released the hold on Daimon, and was now clutching the top of her head that was struck.
Mr. Lavestia looked to Miki, who looked VERY beautiful in his eyes as she was surprised on what she did. He nodded before taking the nunchuks from her and stated, "Thanks for the save, Miki-chan! Now, watch me work!". The psychic from Section M wrapped the chain around the stunned woman, who saw the grin on the man's face and felt that something very bad was about to happen. She wasn't too far off, but more in a humiliating way.
Daimon exclaimed, "Hahahaha! The missing link! Whoo hoo!". He then used some impressive strength to lift and fling the female Crimson Katana member to the ground with an overhead slam! She yelped and moaned in pain from the action, and from landing on her back hard. Daimon threw away the nunchuks, and then proceeded to actually do elbow-drops on the woman!
He yelled out, "You want a pickle?! I'll give you a pickle! Hahaha!". It took Miki, and also Joseph to realize that their friend was actually acting out a scene from the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze! After about three elbow-drops, Daimon picked her up and swung her around by the arm. After a couple of swings, he let go and she was thrown towards a punching bag hard and landed hard on her backside in a daze. Zarina flew up to the stunned human, and then delivered the final blow with a punch to her head. Let it be known that fairies were always stronger than they looked.
Miki shook her head as Zarina and Daimon exchanged high-fives, the pixies learning about the greeting her interactions with humans both here and back home. Saegusa-san said, "You two are just crazy, but in a good way.". The two grinned at their companion, then turned to see how Anthony and the others were doing.
Said person was currently trying to keep his distance from his foe, as after losing his main weapon, the goon had brought out his alternative, which was a large knife. Sure it was a common butterfly knife that most street thugs carried, but right at the moment it was a serious weapon as the fool kept doing mad swipes and stabs at Anthony. The pilot for G-Force had kept his distance, leaping back just enough to evade each deadly attack from the knife. The man had a determined look in his eyes as he spoke, "Come on, baka! Surely you can do better than that!". Anthony wanted to pull his rifle on his opponent, but that would be considered dishonorable to use a gun on a blade wielder. His answer came in the form of Joseph calling out to him.
The psychic-user called out, "Anthony, use this!". He took out his USMC KA-BAR knife, and tossed it to his friend. The pilot did a small leap, grabbing the potent blade in his right hand, and turning around just in time to block a strike from his enemy! The goon was slightly startled by this sudden turn of events, but was still confident his abilities, believing that he was still superior to the pilot. How wrong he was! Anthony was not a master when it came to wielding weapons, but he was no slouch either. He started to block the attacks of the small butterfly knife, and when Anthony saw his foe overextend himself to try and cut him, he saw his chance! He side-stepped a thrust attack, and brought the KA-BAR knife down hard and fast on the knife, slicing it clean in two!
The Crimson Katana minion looked at his now broken blade, and at Anthony who looked very serious. He knew he was outmatched, but when the villain tried to flee… he was met with a fist, courtesy of Regina! The Spanish-born beauty had knocked the idiot cold with her strike to the face! But she was now nursing a very swollen and hurt hand, still not quite used to using her fists in fights. Most often than not, she used her brain to get her out of scrapes. Though, she did know some basic holds and such that were meant to keep her safe from an attacker.
Anthony looked down at the knocked-out goon, than looked up and smiled at Regina. He stated, "Thank you very much. You have such strength there, it is impressive.". The young lady blushed a bit from the praise, Anthony tossing the knife back to its original owner. Joseph caught it easily, saying to his friend that he handled himself pretty good with a blade. Anthony thanked him for the compliment, than all looked to Chris and his opponent.
Captain Chris Anderson was blocking punches and kicks that were coming down on him, the pilot of Super X-III showing that he was more than just a mere American. He stood firm and his opponent was becoming frustrated that he was unable to make this outsider go down. The male goon stated firmly, "I will not be defeated by an outsider! Especially an American!". He came in strong with a right cross, but Chris countered by using his own foe's momentum against him and kneed him hard to the gut! The extra motion and energy increased damage, making the yakuza hired hand groan in pain and Chris retaliated with a strong elbow to the back! The man got to his knees from the hit, his groaning increasing as he was surprised on how much force and skill the American had.
He looked up to see into the eyes of his enemy… but Chris stepped aside and Alice came in, bringing down one of the bowling pin smoke grenades like a club! The villain was knocked in the face hard, and into unconsciousness as he slumped to the mat. Many in Wonderland, if they ever saw this, would be either proud or fearful of the young lady that was so proper and polite in the past… now acting like a heroine. Chris looked to the mature English beauty and commented, "Nice swing, Alice. You got him good.".
The visitor of Wonderland replied, "Thank you. I normally do detest violence and only use a small amount of it when it calls for it. But in this particular situation… an exception is made.". And all of this action was done in just about five or so minutes!
Arisu called out, "Come on! The way is clear, so let's get up to the second floor and go from there!". The others nodded, the pixies going to Regina this time while the mice remained with Anthony. The rescue mission resumed!
~In Heaven and the Disney universe~
While the DRT were continuing their ascent up so they could reach their friends, they had spectators in the Heavenly realm and Disney universe. The ones on the Higher plane were cheering as they saw the forces of Good continue to fight their way through vast numbers of goons. Of course, the ones that supported Evil were not pleased to see the yakuza organization get their behinds handed to them by, in their view, a ragtag force. Mulan, Pocahontas, Megera and more heroes and heroines from the other universe were cheering loud and proud for Alice and the others.
It was the same situation in the Disney realm, as many in the kingdoms of Agrabah, Leylstad, Arendelle and Sennen were cheering and shouting words of encouragement to the DRT. Soldiers and those that were versed in the art of combat were looking on with critical eyes, making mental notes each of the fighter's abilities and what they could improve on. Energetic children were soon imitating the heroes and heroines, fighting imaginary foes such as the Crimson Katana. In their eyes, they found someone worthy to look up to. Teenagers and young adults yelled loudly, as if they were actually there, to warn the DRT on what was heading their way and such.
All in all, it was very heartwarming and moving to see the people of the lands really getting into the action and adventure that was shown before them.
~In the Toho universe~
Back to the complex that housed the feared organization, the group was now on the 2nd floor and heading towards some stairs that would lead them to the 3rd floor. However, their presence was made known as one of the thugs spotted them and sounded the alarm via walkie-talkie. The DRT was now officially known throughout all of the building, and they were being chased by many of the armed yakuza members on the level! Arisu continued to lead on, running as fast as she could towards the stairs that would let them ascend upward. However, up ahead she saw another squad of Crimson Katana members heading their way. They were caught in a pincer move, both sides closing in on them fast.
Zarina saw this as well and inquired for all to hear, "If any of you have any good ideas, now would be the best time to use it before we get sandwiched here!".
Miki was the one who came up with a plan, telling everyone to stop right where they were. She said, "Quick, everyone throw a smoke bomb on the ground! Spread them out a bit so that it surrounds us!". The others were a bit puzzled by this, but they trusted their friend as those carrying a bowling pin smoke bomb pressed the top button and dropped the objects on the ground. Quickly, red smoke filled the area they were in and the crew quickly covered their eyes and mouths with either the masks they carried or their own hands.
When the members got to the place where their enemy was at, all they could see now was a thick red smoke cloud. Some wanted to venture into it, to find the ones that dared to go up against them. But the more cautious ones wanted to stay outside the cloud, thinking it was a trap to lure them in. A leader on opposite sides of the cloud evaluated the situation, and opted to stay and wait. They ordered their men and women, "Don't fire or move in there! Let the smoke dissipate, and we'll have a good line of sight!". They all readied their weapons, following the orders.
Some shots escaped from the smoke, hitting some of the squad members in the arms and legs! Cries of pain and agony left the lips of the ones who were hit, the yakuza members very much stunned on what happened. One of the surprised members yelled out, "THEY'RE FIRING AT US! RETALIATE!". The hired hands ignored the orders of their leader now, returning fire with their automatic weapons! Bullets blazed into the smoke cloud… but they ended up shooting one another! The ground was soon covered with dead or dying Crimson Katana members, having shot their own colleagues!
The leader on the right side of the cloud muttered, "Idiots… retaliating like that, good way to get killed.". He had managed to stand to the side close to the wall and avoided getting shot at, but his team was decimated by their own members on the other side of the cloud. A flash of purple light from within the cloud caught his eye, along with those remaining as they too saw the flash. He peered into the cloud… and was soon met by a large metal object that slammed into him good! He let out a loud OOF as he was knocked down by a charging shield!
The remaining members looked up just in time to see two shields with Godzilla's head etched on it mow right through them! Regina and Anthony were holding onto the shields as they ran straight through the crowd, the others following close behind them. Iridessa called out, "Miki, I can't believe that crazy plan of yours actually worked! That was amazing!".
Indeed, it was Miki that came up with the idea. With the smoke covering, they threw themselves down on the floor to avoid detection. Than Joseph took out his M1911 pistol, the rest taking out their rifles and shooting from within the cloud on both sides! Saegusa-san was counting on the members to shoot in retaliation, their anger and paranoia getting the best of them, and it seemed her tactic paid off. They let the fools shoot one another so their numbers would drop, and she told Regina to make two shields so that they could use for cover and mow their way through towards the stairs.
Miki smiled slightly and replied, "I can't believe it worked either! But it seems we made it!". They heard footsteps behind them, and saw that the other yakuza members who had survived the little shoot-out were following them with back-up on the way. The heroes and heroines beat feet and retreated up the stairs and towards the 3rd floor.
Upon arriving on said floor, the group looked to Arisu to show them the way to the next level. However, shortly upon running, Fawn stopped in mid-flight and seemed to be listening for something. Rosetta saw this and called out, "Everyone! Hold on a minute! I think that Fawn is picking up something with her gift.". The group stopped in mid-step, turning and looking to the Animal-talent fairy who seemed to be in a trance. After a couple of moments, the pixie snapped out of it and looked to her friends.
She stated, "I… I hear a lot of animals calling out! I can hear them! They're in trouble, and I believe they are on this floor!". Fawn explained that in a certain proximity, she can hear animal calls and cries, so she was fairly certain that the captive beasts were on the 3rd floor.
Fawn looked to the others and said, "I'm sorry but… I need to find and free those poor critters! So, go on without me! I'll see if I can catch up…". She was interrupted by Daimon, the psychic-user smiling slightly at the fairy.
He said, "Nonsense! You gotta do what you gotta do, and we understand & respect that! Rosetta, go along back her up! When you're both finished, try and go to the 6th floor! We'll be there, and hopefully with our friends rescued!". Fawn looked in surprise at her human friend, who approved of her wanting to go and rescue animals instead of continuing on ahead to save Elsa and the others. More so, the others approved as they nodded their heads and Rosetta flew to her side. Fawn had some happy tears come from her face as she flew and hugged Daimon's cheek.
She said, "Thank you! Thank you so much everyone! I promise, it won't take too long and we'll join with you all quick once we're done!". Daimon and the rest of the crew said it was no problem, and wished the duo good luck. Rosetta and Fawn waved goodbye to the group before zooming off, the Animal-talented fairy flying fast like a meteor with her companion flying to catch up.
Chris stated firmly, "Okay, let's get going! We still have Ariel and the others to rescue! We'll meet Fawn and Rosetta later!". The humans, mice and remaining fairies nodded before resuming their trek through the treacherous corridors and hallways where many of their enemies were waiting for them.
~At the Exotic Animal Smuggling Room~
The animals that were all set up for delivery to other parts of the country, some the world, were all acting crazy in their confinements due to the noise and flashing red lights. Birds were flapping wildly in their cages, domestic beings like dogs and cats were barking/yowling loudly, and the most exotic ones such as small tigers and Komodo dragons, were growling/hissing loudly. The ones that were looking after them were three guards, the remaining forces sent to see what was wrong outside. Two men and one woman were getting rather annoyed at the sounds that was driving them mad.
One of the men in suits shouted, "SHUT UP, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS!". Alas, his words fell on deaf ears as the animals continued to go wild. He was tempted to use his automatic weapon to silence them, but he was stopped by his female colleague.
She stated as calmly as she could, "Stop! Remember, these are expensive merchandise that Momoko-sama wants to remain in excellent condition before shipping them out to her clients. You really want to explain to her on how any of them were shot at, or killed?". That stopped the man cold, as he knew of Lady Momoko's actions when being 'displeased'. He growled loudly as he laid down his weapon, but gave a nearby cage that held a prized tiger cub inside a strong kick, rattling both the cage and the poor little one badly.
Watching from above was Fawn and Rosetta, the two pixies very much enraged at the treatment of the animals. The duo had found the place due to Fawn's instinct-vibration sense, and had come up through a vent that led directly to the room. Said tiny woman was about to go down there and show the human on what it meant to tick off a fairy of nature, but Rosetta stopped her. Fawn was giving her a confused look on why she was denied to deliver justice to the goon, but Rosetta stood firm and stated, "There is only two of us, and three of them. And if they discover us, they might use the animals against us like hostages.". Now that was something Fawn didn't think about, but fortunately her friend did.
She inquired, "So… what do you have in mind?". Rosetta looked around from their place in the vent, and saw some potted plants and grass that were nearby next to a wall. Apparently, Lady Momoko wanted her merchandise to be in excellent condition at all times before being shipped out, so she had bought plants and flowers that those who were herbivores could eat. Meat-eating ones would most likely receive their snack from a source outside of the room. The Garden-talented fairy smirked wide, and motioned for her friend to follow her. But with quiet stealth and quickness like the ninjas they had seen on the TV.
The duo flitted quietly into the room, hiding and going behind crates while slipping past the humans. Though they were small and quick, they took no chances when one was nearby. Once said guard was far away enough, they continued on until they reached the plants. Lady Momoko had put potted plants up as well against the wall, so anyone that looked from the outside would automatically assume that it was a greenhouse of some kind. To throw any one that was spying on them off the trail, as it were. The leader of the Crimson Katana always made sure to cover angles in any kind of illegal activity so that no one would get suspicious on what was really occurring. Rosetta spotted some pink hydrangea and sakura flowers, and the smirk on her face widened.
Rosetta stated, "Okay now… let's show these three what a REAL flower power is all about!". She closed her eyes and concentrated, bringing forth the dormant power that was within her. Normally, it would take a lot of pixie dust in order for her to accomplish this kind of feat. But after being around Little Godzilla during his stay in their universe, she could now bring her full power and potential at will! But it would always take a bit of doing on her own, but at least she could do it without a major amount of pixie dust.
The potted plants reacted instantly to the Mistress of Nature, responding to her call and more than willing to do as the pixie requested. Fawn and Rosetta were sporting wicked grins on their faces, both looking appealing in a scary sort of way as their wrath was going to be unleashed on the bad humans!
The trio of guards were getting bored and annoyed by the noise of the emergency alarm, flashing red lights and yowling of the merchandise. They were wishing to get some action, like their comrades were doing right now in chasing down the intruders that had, in their opinion, miraculously infiltrated one of the most secure places in the country. In their view, Headquarters was among the top ten most secure places in Japan. Well… they wanted action, they were about to get it! The woman who was with them, felt something tickling her back, and she assumed that it was her partner in trying to put his arm around her back. She frowned at him, who was sitting on her left and stated, "Hey, Mitsuru! Cut it out! I already told you, I'm seeing Mamoru. So no feeling anywhere on me!".
Mitsuru gave her a confused look as he replied, "Takara… my hands are here on my lap, holding my gun. How can I possibly be touching you if… my… hands… oh Kami…!". She saw the look of wonder and terror on his face as he beheld something that was behind her. Takara slowly turned her head around, and quickly saw on what made her partner freak out. She jumped down off the crate she and Mitsuru was on, holding her automatic weapon tight. The animals also grew silent, and the other man turned around to see what was happening. His face also morphed to one of confusion and fear as he readied his gun.
Before the entire company was a huge jungle of vines and flowers, all in the shape of wolves and about twice the size of a Honda Perther van! Glowing yellow eyes were peering down at them, its face morphed into a fierce expression!
The plant-wolf howled loudly before advancing towards the trio, Mitsuru, Takara and their other partner let loose cries as they opened fire on the creation! Bullets ripped through the vines cleanly at the head and body, but to their horror they grew back almost instantly and seemed to never truly harm the beast. It only made it mad when it lashed out with its head, grabbing Mitsuru with its jaws! The man cried loudly as he was bitten and hoisted up high into the air, soon being flung to the wall like he was a rag doll! He was knocked out instantly, landing in a pile of grass that was under him.
Takara and her remaining partner backed off, wondering on how this creature got into the complex and how to kill it. She looked to her comrade and exclaimed, "Our guns aren't cutting it with this thing! You got a knife or anything sharp on you?!". He looked to her and replied in a negative, stating that he only brought his gun since it was simply animal duty. The wolf opened its maw and released… pollen? Pink pollen dust seemed to come forth from its mouth, and when it hit the two humans, they immediately started to sneeze, cough and hack as their eyes watered quickly and their noses seemed to open and shut close rapidly.
They were hit with a massive Pollen Breath attack that got their sinuses and allergies flaring up big time.
The goons kept on sneezing and hacking hard, not being able to use their guns at all as they were being affected by the pollen. They tried to aim and shoot, but it was no use as their limbs were shaking badly and their vison was very poor due to the itching and watering of their eyes. The wolf snarled at them, and the duo though it best to retreat least they get hit by something much worse than mere pollen. They ran towards the door, never minding the animals and making a beeline towards the infirmary where the medicine they needed was at. Once they were gone, the wolf howled in victory and the other animals joined in! However, their howls/yipping/squawking ceased when they saw the vine-monster recede back to reveal… Fawn and Rosetta, who had smirks on their faces as they looked very much glad of their win against the humans.
Rosetta looked to the hydrangea and sakura flowers, stating, "Thank you very much for the help! We really appreciate it!". The plants seemed to nod before going back to their pots, becoming once again mere potted plants.
The pixies looked at the animals, who started to go wild again because now there was no one there to make them stay tame. The humans were seen as the alphas due to what they could do to them, but now that they were no more, the instincts within them were flaring to get out and go back to the wild. Fawn went up and hovered to get a good look at the scene before her. She called out, "Hey! Hold on! If you would just…! Stop! I mean it!". She wanted to get the animals attention, but they were too wound up now to listen to her. Her frustration and rage started to build, as the critters were not listening. A brown aura flared up around her, similar to how Tinkerbell got whenever she was about to blow her top and become a living fireball of fury.
She closed her eyes and unconsciously picked out what she knew to be the TOP alpha animal of them all. Rosetta looked up at her friend who soon brought up an aura image around her body of… Godzilla Junior, and let out a shout that was very much like the roar of the son of the King of the Monsters! The animals all quieted down now as male and female alike were now looking up at the image, and feeling an immense pressure on their instincts. They had just discovered the top alpha around here, and they submitted to her will. Fawn was panting a bit, glad that her natural message had gotten through to the animals. She slowly flitted down to Rosetta, the Garden-talent fairy a bit cautious as the aura image was gone by the brown aura itself was still surrounding Fawn greatly.
The feisty beauty flew over to some of the cages and exclaimed, "I will get you out of here and you will be free! But, I also need some help from you! My friends are in danger, and I need all the help I can get in rescuing them! Will you aid me?". The animals looked to one another, than an answer was given by a female Komodo dragon.
The potent predator hissed as she stated in her native tongue that Fawn understood. She said, "I will aid you, alpha being. Those humans treated us rough and bad, so I would like to get some payback at them.". Fawn nodded, saying that she would be honored to have her help. Rosetta came to them with a set of keys, saying that she got them from the unconscious human nearby. The fairy went through some keys, finding the right one on the third try and freeing the Komodo dragon who stalked off with amazing grace and poise. While Fawn was the alpha and the beast respected and admitted that, she still held herself with some dignity.
Rosetta was freeing more of the animals when Fawn looked down towards the small tiger cub that had been released from his cage. The small mammal said softly as he walked towards her, "I want to help but… I want someone to look out for me for now.". The fairies saw that this cub was fairy young, which was true since he was caught in the wild and separated from his mother and siblings about six months ago. Fawn was thinking about it, when the large Komodo dragon lumbered towards them. The pixie stood between the mammal and the reptile, wondering on what was going to happen now. The large, venomous being shot her forked tongue at the two, then lumbered slowly until she was at the side of the surprised cub.
"I will look after the young one here. He is small… weak… and not cold-blooded like me. But, he does need someone to look after him, and so I will be responsible.", she told Fawn. She and Rosetta were just stunned by this, but they accepted it quickly even though many humans would not comprehend to see such a sight. To see a Komodo dragon somewhat adopt a stray tiger cub like that! The young mammal was very pleased with this, nuzzling against the dignified lizard. The massive apex predator did nothing, but inside she felt a small, warm fuzzy feeling enter her being. But she kept a hold of it… for now at least.
Fawn looked to the ever-growing force that was with her, feeling nature flowing through her veins once more in a way that was spectacular! It was similar to how Rosetta was when she communicated with the plants just now. She said to herself, "Hold on a bit more everyone… reinforcements are on the way!".
~On the 6th floor~
While Fawn and Rosetta were gathering and forming their own forces, the others were just heading up towards the sixth floor. They looked a bit tired and exhausted, and who could blame them? They had been running into many Crimson Katana hired hands, and had been doing their best to push on through. They had hidden out on the 5th floor's Artifacts Smuggling/Counterfeit room, escaping the hordes of gang members that were looking for them. Once they were sure that the group was gone, the heroes and heroines saw many priceless and extremely rare artifacts from around the globe situated there. Arisu whispered to them, "This room is storing artifacts and trinkets that Lady Momoko acquired through legal… and also illegal means. They are stored here, where they go to another room where copies are made. The copies are sold to buyers while Momoko keeps the real ones.".
Anthony and the rest looked around, seeing things that went from small as the mice themselves, to objects that were about the size of Genie. The company started to move towards a door that would take them out and closer to the stairs that led to the 6th floor. However, that is when things went bad for forces of Good. When Alice passed by a large marble statue that was of the hero Hercules, someone jumped from the shadows and grabbed her from behind! Alice screamed loudly, and everyone turned to see a rather large, muscular Japanese man getting Alice in a bear hug as he held her.
"Let her go now!", Daimon exclaimed as all were now tense as the situation was very critical now. The thug merely laughed and squeezed slightly harder, making Alice wince as the breath was forced more from her body.
"Hahahaha! I have the upper hand now! I figured you all would come here, and it looks like my hunch paid off!", the thug boasted proudly. Indeed, it was all due to sheer dumb luck. The muscle-bound Crimson Katana member had guessed off the top of his head that the others would be in the room, since it was spacious and easy to hide in. He was more valued for his brawn rather than his brain, considering that he dropped out of high school after the first semester.
Joseph spoke coldly as he slowly took out his four throwing knives discreetly. He ordered, "Put the woman down, or I'll be the very last thing you see before you are removed from the mortal plane.". The muscled brute merely smirked back at Mr. Sustaita, challenging the psychic-user.
Miki and the rest of her friends knew they had to do something. So she sent a mental message to Daimon and Joseph, 'Focus your mental energy on his head. If we can force him to have a huge migraine, he might loosen his hold on Alice! On the count of three: one… two… three!'. The trio closed their eyes and concentrated, a faint but visible aura surrounding them. The thug was confused on what was going on, until he felt the mother of all headaches hit him hard! In his view, it was like a drummer at a Jamaican concert going full tilt inside his skull! He groaned and moaned loudly in pain, his hold on Alice lessening bit by bit until the mature woman was able to wiggle loose! Once she was free, Anthony and Regina quickly went over and pulled her out of harm's way.
Once he saw that his friend was in safe hands, Joseph released his mental attack and quickly threw his throwing knives at the pool fool! A knife soon found their mark to both legs and arms, making the muscled goon scream out in pain as he was assaulted in major areas on the body. He was brought to his knees, and that is when Anthony and Chris came in. Both rushed in and delivered a boot to the chest of the assaulting member, pushing him hard into a stand that held a heavy stone bust that resembled one of the past Emperors of Japan. The bust wobbled a little, than fell and broke upon the fellow's head! The impact was enough to send the thug into unconsciousness, Joseph walking to get his knives off of the body.
He wiped the blood that was on his precious weapons and told the unconscious brute, "Never challenge me when it comes to the safety of my friends, moron.".
Regina looked to her friend and asked, "Alice, are you alright? Anything bruised or broken?".
The mature English beauty answered, "I'm alright. I may not be as spry and feisty like Mama Odie, but I can manage fine. I may have a bit of a light bruise on my being, but that's better than the alternative.". Just as she finished saying those words, the door that lead to outside and to the stairways flew open and coming forth was a squad of Crimson Katana members! They had heard Alice's scream, so they all honed in on the large area.
"There they are! Kill them and bring their bodies as proof to Momoko-sama!", one of the leaders exclaimed. Regina and Alice told everyone to gather around them, and just in time as the Spanish-born woman activated her shield once more and made a copy for Alice. The two shields materialized, and stopped the hail of bullets that was fired at them! The heroes and heroines were safe, but also pinned down!
Zarina shouted out, "Any suggestions?! Me and Iridessa can't go up and over this, not without getting hit!". It was true. For as small and quick the pixies were, even they were not foolish enough to go up and straight into a hail of metal projectiles that were whizzing around at incredible speeds.
Regina let out a cry of frustration and exclaimed, "Argh! I wish my shield was as sturdy and effective as Anguirus's shell! At least he could use his as more than a battering ram!". Her shield than started to glow white, causing the gunfire to cease and everyone looking on in confusion on what was happening. The heroes and heroines covered their eyes, then uncovered them after they felt the light die down. Regina braved to peer out and look at her shield… and was amazed that it did not resemble the shell of the loyal and extremely fierce friend of Godzilla! The shield was still in its unique shape, but the front was brown and covered in dull-white spikes that did indeed resemble the ultra-hard spiked carapace that made the monster legendary.
"Wha-?! How-?! I mean… amazing! It seems that this shield has some surprises up its sleeve!", Regina exclaimed in delight. The others were amazed at this development, but they soon realized that they needed to push on through to the stairway. The yakuza gang members suddenly snapped back to reality, and fired once again at the group! They all hid behind the shields, but Regina's weapon did something unique. When the bullets hit the spiked shield, it reflected the projectiles right back at the owners at twice the speed! The gang members were quickly taken down by their own bullets, only few being quick and smart enough to either duck or dodge the projectiles.
Daimon saw this and exclaimed, "Look, we have our window of opportunity! Let's take it now!". His comrades saw that he was right, and they all charged on through! The ones that tried to stop them either caught punches to the face, or a good poke in the eyes from the pixies. Once they left the room, Arisu led them to the stairs and ascended to the 6th floor.
Now, they were taking a breather after ascending up. Miki panted and said weakly, "You know… who needs… a gym when… you're running… to save your friends… in a place… like this?". The others uttered quiet chuckles, a bit surprised in a pleasant way at the psychic's sense of humor at the moment. Iridiessa was about to retort when she felt a tingling sensation at the back of her mind. Zarina felt the same thing, Filimore and the mice also feeling a sensation at the very core of their instincts.
Arisu saw the fairies pause and inquired, "What is wrong Zarina, Iridessa?".
The Alchemist-talented pixie answered, "I feel… I feel Tinkerbell and the others! They're somewhere nearby!". The mice scampered from their hiding place and also declared that they could feel Cinderella, Tracy and Fairy Godmother Cateline.
Chris asked, "Where exactly do you feel them at? Hopefully all of them are together in one place.". Indeed, the crucial point of the mission was that their friends be in one area. If they were spread out, than it could complicate things rather badly. The mice and fairies followed their instincts, the bond between their friends strong. The humans followed their comrades, and came upon a door to a large room. Arisu stated that it was one of the large experiment rooms, used in major research on various things. She had never been inside it, but knew of it due to stories and such that came from the lips of her co-workers who knew the place more intimately then she did.
Thankfully, said door had a window and Iridessa peeked in to see… Ariel, Melody, Tracy, Cinderella, Elsa, Anna, Lady Benedtika, Cateline, Tinkerbell, Vidia and Silvermist! The Light-talented beauty flew to the others and stated, "I see them! They're all there in one place! Tink and the others are in jars, and the rest on beds of some kind. But they are there!". This brought great relief to the group, Anthony asking of their condition. When Iridessa told them that they looked to be in a deep sleep, it was Joseph who theorized that they must be injected with a serum that puts in that state.
Zarina flew to the window and looked around a bit, seeing the six very armed beings in the room. She went to her friends and added, "We also have six armed members in there. Three men, three women, and all seem to be different than the ones we have been facing so far.". Now that gave Arisu some concerned, and she voiced it out. She told them that chances were those people in the other room were Elite Guards, members that were high up in the ranks of the Crimson Katana and that she had RARELY seen them. Chinatsu-san told them only what she heard, and that these guys were in a league of their own compared to the goons they had been fighting so far.
Alice took out her special potion and stated, "Well, I think it's time that Miki, Joseph and Daimon have a drink about now.". They all saw where she was getting at; since Momoko was now getting serious, it was time for them level up as well! The Englishwoman handed the bottle to Miss Saegusa first, the psychic woman taking off the cork and sniffing the contents first.
She thought, 'Hmmm… smells a little bit like lime-lemon soda. Well… it is for Elsa and the others, so down the hatch!'. She took a gulp of the bottle, leaving more than enough for Daimon and Joseph. She licked her lips, commenting that the potion tasted a little like the Western soda drink Mountain Dew. Her two mentally-gifted compatriots downed some of the liquid as well, Daimon giving it back to Alice. She had a little more than half of the potion left, so that was good.
The trio waited for a moment, than they felt it! Miki felt her once fading psychic powers now filling back up like never before, her mental energy and capacity surging like a tidal wave! Daimon and Joseph felt it too, an aura of light surrounding the trio that was similar to the ones used by the characters in the anime Dragonball Z! Arisu and the others covered their eyes for a minute, then unshielded them when they saw the aura dim down. It was there, but concentrated now and under control. The three psychic users were showing impressive willpower and self-control to let their newly magnified power flow but not that it would overwhelm them.
Miki and her friends opened their eyes, to reveal to all that they were shining with power! She stated, "Okay everyone… let's get our friends back!". The trio turned to the door, using their heightened senses to see the exact location of the Elite Guard members. Extending their mental tendrils, Miki and company started their attack!
One of the guards yawned and said, "When are we going to get off this babysitting duty? I know we're the best of the best, but surely there has to be someone else who…". His words died down when he felt the M16 rifle that was smuggled into the country suddenly shake. The remaining five Elite Guard felt their guns shaking, and all yelped in surprise when they were violently yanked from their hands and were now pointing at them!
One of the female members exclaimed, "What the Hell is going on here?!". They got their answer when the door opened up with a loud BANG, and coming in was the DRT! Miki and he companions used their mental powers to ensnare the weapons, and were using them to keep the Elite Guard at bay while the others went to go check on the girls.
Daimon stated, "I suggest you don't move, ladies and gentlemen… unless you want to have a LOT of metal come your way.". The Elite Guards growled, knowing they had been backed into a corner. They had taken on much conventional tactics and beings, but dealing with psychics… they didn't have much practice in dealing with them in that area.
Alice and the others checked over each girl, Anthony getting the pixies out from their jars. After some inspection, Chris stated, "They look to be in excellent health, just knocked out.".
The visitor from Wonderland went to Rapunzel and gently opened her mouth. "Here you go, my friend. Bottoms up!", she said before pouring just a small amount into her mouth. The liquid ran down the queen's throat, and after a moment… the queen of Lelystad's eyes shot open! The light-green eyes shone with power, as a golden pulse escaped from her hair and filled the room! Her healing pulse had flushed out the sedative in the ladies systems, and waking them from their forced slumber! The healing energy pulse also fixed up whatever kink that was with their muscles or other systems within the body.
"Wow! I… What…? Who…? Alice?!" Rapunzel stated in surprise as her mind caught up with her body. The woman smiled as she and Arisu undid the restraints on her friends, the others doing the same.
Ariel looked at Joseph, than at the current situation around them as she was helped off of the stretcher and to her feet. She said, "I believe an explanation is in order, but not at the moment. Thank you so much for rescuing us!". The others expressed their gratitude to all who had saved them, all very glad that they were reunited. Tink saw that Fawn and Rosetta were not with them, asking on where they were. Iridessa answered that they were taking care of things in another area, and would be joining them shortly.
Miki looked to all and stated, "I'm sorry to really ruin the moment, but we are still at the moment in hostile territory and need to get out of here.".
Joseph added, "Excellent suggestion, but first…". He and his colleagues used their psychic powers to move the guns closer to the Elite Guards, who backed up slowly away from said moving objects. The psychic trio tilted their heads, and on a mental command, bashed the bad guys and girls with the butts of their own rifles! Miss Saegusa told the others that instead of shooting the villains and villainesses, they should just knock them out by using their rifles as clubs. It worked, as members were knocked out cold by their own guns.
They ceased their psychic abilities, but kept on guard. They all knew the effects of the potion would only last an hour or so. Anna looked to Arisu and asked, "Why are you here?".
Chinatsu-san replied, "I can explain that and everything else later on! Right now, we got to move!". They all agreed, and were about to go until they saw Chris started to place two C4 blocks on the super computer. Tracy asked on what they were, and Zarina answered that those small objects were very effective big bombs.
Captain Anderson looked to Arisu and Anthony and explained, "If they were here long enough, these computers might have some info on our friends that we don't want them to have. So, let's put five C4 blocks here and once we're out… boom! I'll send the signal for it to explode, and bye-bye data!". The duo nodded their heads, understanding on why the captain wanted to put the explosives on in the first place. Arisu took out one and placed it one end of the super-computer, while Anthony put one on the Wave Amplifier and one in another part of the room. The bombs were now spaced out rightly to deliver max. explosion!
Lady Benedtika stated, "Okay, now that we have made sure that our information cannot be used against us or anyone else for nefarious purposes, let's get out of this nightmare!". The company agreed with the female Mountain troll and Arisu started to lead them out the entrance/exit to go back downstairs and to the 1st floor.
~In Lady Momoko's quarters~
What the others did not know was that the clever villainess had been seeing everything in her private quarters. She had a special reserve of power and equipment that was set up in her office. It was not much like the main power source at the Generator Room, but it was enough for her to see all that happened in the various floors as the heroes and heroines ascended and plowed through her forces. The back-up feed for the 3rd floor that had the animals was offline, but that mattered little to her since she assumed the animals were still locked up in their cages. She chuckled and stated, "My, my… I never believed or dreamed that such insignificant insects could do so much damage. I believe that some retaliation is in order.". While she was showing calm and coolness on the outside, her tone held a suppressed rage that she was ready to unleash on those that dared to do this to her.
Picking up a walkie-talkie, she turned it on and ordered, "Remaining Elite Guards, gather and group on the Main Level of the complex. All others surround the level and make sure that no gets in or out. And someone go to the Experiment Room to kindly remove the explosives from there. That is all.". Not wanting to wait for a response, she put down the device and pressed a secret button on her desk. A secret sliding compartment made itself known on the wall behind her, showing a long katana that was in a very elaborate and oriented sheath. It was her person sword, the deadly and devastating Crimson Maiden. She had this sword made since she founded the company, using it to carve her way through so many poor souls that dared to get in her way. There was an ominous reason why it was named as it was.
Lady Momoko said to no one in particular, "Time for me to personally handle the matter… once and for all.".
~Back in the complex~
Meanwhile, Arisu was leading the others downstairs back to the Main Level. As they took to the shadows again, they seemed to notice something odd. Cinderella was the first to spot it and stated, "Everyone! It seems our pursuers and enemies have… well, vanished. I do not see anyone chasing us or even looking for us.". After she said that, the lights switched from flashing red to regular white light and the wailing emergency sound was now off. It seemed that they had managed to fix the generators, if only enough so that the emergency systems would be turned off.
Anna said, "I don't like the looks of this… I feel like we're going into a trap!". Most agreed with her, but at the moment, they were on limited time and needed to get back to the van quickly to make their escape. When they arrived at the Main Floor, they went back to the loading dock… only to see the way to be cut off by a lot of Crimson Katana members! The entire legion snarled and sneered as they force the group to fall back to the large main area of the building. They turned to find another way to escape, but they saw that it was blocked too. The entire company was surround by a large ring of ticked-off yakuza members!
Elsa looked to her sister as everyone was back-to-back, ready to fight if need be. She stated, "You were right, Anna. We did walk into a trap, but… why aren't they attacking us now?".
"Because I ordered them not to.", a familiar voice came out. The company turned to see that ring parted to let through their leader, Lady Momoko who wielded her prized possession by her side. Behind here were thirty-five Elite Guards that were sporting not machine guns, but various weapons that required true skill to master and use effectively. Katanas, staves, nunchuks, sais, etc.
Arisu whispered, "Momoko-sama…". There was true fear in her voice, for her former employer was NO pushover when she herself fought. She had only seen her fight once with her katana, and that was a year ago when they caught someone digging in too deep in an affair that was going on between the organization and an allied syndicate in another part of the nation. She would never forget how her former boss just played and toyed with the poor soul until she ended his misery… in a brutal way that still gave her nightmares some times.
Lady Momoko saw her former spy and stated with a light tone, "Well, well, well… it seems that a traitor was the one who led the insects so deep into my own home. Arisu Chinatsu… such promise you had as a spy in G-Force. Oh well… a replacement can always be found.". The young woman was scared, but she was shielded by Joseph and Daimon.
Mr. Lavestia remarked, "No one harms our friends, Momoko. You and your flunkies better leave before we really have to get rough.".
The beautiful but cruel leader of the organization chuckled, than outright laughed loudly at Daimon's declaration. The rest of her followers laughed as well, all finding his statement to be a joke. After a moment, she calmed down and remarked, "Seriously, how are you planning to defeat all of us when we got you surrounded, outnumbered and outgunned. I doubt that even magic will be able to save you from a real hailstorm of bullets.". She was right; Regina had used up a great deal of magic on her shield, more so when she changed it to resembled Anguirus's spiked-shell. It would be awhile before it could regenerate back up to full, but for now, it was only about 3/4th of magic and durability left.
Lady Momoko walked slowly towards them, drawing her katana out from its sheath. It was truly a work of art, beautifully and masterfully crafted in many ways that would make any samurai warrior proud to wield it. Alas, it was wielded by a woman who craved power over anything else. Her Elite Guard followed, ready to deliver a beat down. Elsa and the others got ready to defend themselves, though they knew this might be their last stand.
That is when the back-up arrived!
A loud shout got their attention, as the entire company looked to the very far backside of the area… to see a stampede of animals heading their way! Leading them was Fawn and Rosetta on the Komodo dragon, with the tiger cub by their side! Birds of various sizes, shape, color and species screeched and swooped in to attack the stunned members! The once smug ring of goons and thugs were soon scattered about as the animals started to create chaos within the ranks! Also, to add to the mix, some large plants and vines started to emerge from the 2nd level and started to attack the other ring members!
The heroes and heroines smiled as Fawn and Rosetta stopped their unusual steed near their friends, Tracy commenting, "Wow! Now that was an entrance worthy of any heroine back in our world! Thanks for the save, both of you!". The duo said it was no problem, and they were also hugged by Tinkerbell and the rest of their pixie friends. The gang was back together again! The Komodo dragon looked at them, than at the cub who looked at her as well. The two were curious on why beings did stuff like this, but they just took it in stride.
Melody stated, "Everyone, I hate to be a kill-joy here but… we still got a problem to deal with.". Lady Momoko and the Elite Guard were still standing where they were, not fazed as much as their lower members were as they fought against various animals and living plants. The leader looked to be very ticked right now, her once deadly grace was now replaced by a look of fury that was begging to be released.
She took a stance, ready to attack at any moment along with her subordinates. Momoko stated, "Any last words before I begin the beat down of every single one of you?".
Fawn and Rosetta got back on the dragon, as it hissed loudly in defiance with the tiger cub right at their side. The others also got ready; Lady Benedtika brought out her battle axe, Melody bringing forth Silverflash and made a duplicate for her mother Ariel, Joseph got his gloves and knives ready along with his pistol though it was almost out of ammo, Regina got out her shield and made a duplicate for Alice, and Rapunzel got her hair ready like a whip/lasso as she looked ready to rock! The pixies gathered around the Komodo dragon, and Fairy Godmother Cateline used her magic wand to summon various European weapons for the others to use. Daimon and the others tossed their German rifles aside, taking a weapon from the magical being as right now, this was a place to fight with skill and strength instead of with guns. Filimore and the mice got out from Anthony's pocket, going on the ground and leaping on the tiger cub to give the little guy some confidence and courage since the cub was scared at the moment.
And finally, Elsa gathered her gift to create a wicked looking double-edged sword of solid ice! She grabbed it, looking coldly at Lady Momoko who returned the gesture. The queen of Arendelle answered, "Here are my words: I am going to make you pay for hurting my sister, my friends… and my bonded Godzilla and his son. You're going to be sorry you ever messed with our bond of love and trust with the kaiju!". Even though she could use instant freeze to end everything, it would not be enough. Elsa wanted to really make Lady Momoko pay for her transgressions, and doing it the physical way would satisfy her at the moment. The leader of the Crimson Katana had made this personal, and so she wanted this very much.
With a war-cry shout, Lady Momoko charged in along with her squad! Elsa and her friends stood ready and firm like the mountain, and soon… the battle was on!
~In the Disney universe and Heaven~
In the realm of Disney, everyone in the kingdoms was going crazy! They had been going wild ever since they saw Fawn and Rosetta rescuing the animals, the battles between Regina and the others as they plowed through enemy forces, the rescue of their friends, the bizarre rescue instigated by Rosetta and Fawn, a moment of silence when the showdown began between the forces of Good and Evil, and then exploding when the clash was about to begin! EVERYONE was there; the leaders of Pixie Hollow, Peter Pan and more were there to cheer their friends for victory!
Mama Odie was cheering loudly, "WHOO HOO! THAT'S THE STUFF, BOYS AND GIRLS! GO ON AND SHOW THAT WOMAN WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A TRUE HERO AND HEROINE OF OUR WORLD!".
It was the same in the Heaven realm, as all manner of angels, deities and the like were all anxious to see the climactic battle! Hades had shouted, "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!". The higher-ups, and the true Higher Up was seeing the battle unfold in a way that would be retold for many ages to come!
Meanwhile, Godzilla and his son had regained their senses and were making their way to Tokyo! They had lost some hours at best, and still a bit groggy from the mind battle, but the pressed on! They felt their bonded were in trouble, and so they were rushing to aid their friends in any way possible!
The supreme clash between Good and Evil in the Toho universe had begun!
(Author's Notes: And… cut! Whew… this was a LONG and difficult chapter to do! But it was well worth it! To set up the ultimate clash between the Disney heroes and heroines against the forces of Evil! I hope you all have enjoyed it so far, because next chapter will be intense! I had to go back to many chapters to see what I had to work with in order to bring this up all out, but it was worth it.
Before anything starts, I want to thank God and Jesus again for helping me with this chapter! Believe me, I have been hit by a bad case of allergies that almost kept me down. But thanks to God and Jesus Christ, I was able to get this chapter done in time! So praise and glory to the King of Kings!
In the next chapter, see twenty-eight members of Good take on the overwhelming odds of thirty-six highly trained and skilled fighters of Evil! And also a surprise at the end I believe you may like! All in all, just enjoy and really get into the story as best you can!
Here are the questions:
How would you take on the first four goons that entered the Training Room?
What would your strategy be after being caught in the pincer maneuver the gang members did on the 2nd floor?
If you had Fawn's ability, what kind of alpha animal would you wish to show to get the animals to listen to you?
How would you handle the muscled goon that held Alice hostage on the 5th floor?
What would you want your shield to be after seeing Regina change hers to resemble Anguirus's spiked shell?
If you had the enhanced psychic powers that Miki and the others had, what would you have done to the Elite Guard that watched over the others in the Experiment Room?
And finally… what would you do & say to Momoko and her comrades before the fight started?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!
