Okay, so, this would be my fifth chapter of my Update Marathon. So, the one prior to this was The Half-blood Pokemorph, and now we have this one. So, yay! Anyway, who's ready for a new OC?

Essentially, I'm a Human With a Tail and Magical Powers

Mei and I entered the school, immediately seeking out the others. They were, of course, at our usual spot. We sat down, passed out the coffee, and immediately began talking about random shit.

"So, did you guys here who's coming to town next month?" Skyler asked us.

"No." I replied.

"Who?" Mackenzie asked.

"Fatal Framez." He replied.

While I raised my eyebrow in confusion, Mei said, "Seriously?" Skyler nodded, and she said, "Okay, we have got to try and get tickets. When is it?"

"November first." He replied. "It's a Halloween themed show, so everyone will be in costumes. They're calling it the Shadowveil Shocker. It's one night only."

"Oh, we are so going to that." Mei said.

"Um, sorry to be so ignorant, but, who exactly is Fatal Framez?" I asked.

"They're an amazing local rock band." Skyler explained. "All of the members are apparently local, and they haven't played here in years."

"What do you mean 'apparently'?" I asked.

"Well, no one knows who they are." Mei replied. "They always wear costumes. When they're performing, in interviews, in magazine shoots. No one outside of their family has any idea who's behind the masks."

"Really?" I asked.

She pulled her phone from her pocket and showed me her background. With how many times that I had seen it, I knew exactly what it looked like. It had six people on it, all wearing all black, with their entire bodies covered. All of the masks were some Pokemon. There was an Umbreon, a Zoroark, a Mightyena, an Absol, a Flareon, and a Luxray.

"Oh, so that's who those guys are." I said.

"Yep." She replied. She began pointing to them, from left to right, saying, "That's Night, the drummer. Then there's Zane, the vocalist. The Mightyena, Shyono, is the bassist. The Absol, Scythe, and the Flareon, Flynt, are the guitarists. Then there's Cole, the Luxray. He plays the bass on songs that need two of them, but he also doubles as the keyboardist."

"All aliases, I assume." I said.

"Yep." Mackenzie replied. "I mean, it'd be pretty hard to keep up the disguises if they weren't."

"True, true." I agreed. "So, are they any good?"

"Good?" Mei asked, surprised. "They're fucking amazing. Just wait until we see them."

"Alright then." I replied. "I can't wait."

"I'll see about getting us some tickets after school." Skyler said.

We all nodded. Just then, the bell rang, causing us to end the conversation. We all got up, before heading to our first class. We entered the class room, sitting down at our normal place. We immediately got absorbed into another conversation. After a few minutes, I got mildly distracted as someone entered the room. I don't know what initially attracted my eyes to the person, but I could tell immediately what caused him to keep my attention. Really, he didn't look like anything special. He appeared to be about a foot shorter than me, which was something that I had just grown used to over time. His hair was interesting, to an extent. Most of it was plain white, falling down just below his ears, but up on the right side of his forehead, stemming over to the left side of his head, was a blade-like shaped died into his hair in a deep silver color. His torso was clad in a black jacket, the neck ringed with a white fluff, with a dark blue shirt under it. His legs were covered by a pair of faded blue jeans, with the whole outfit topped off with a pair of black sneakers. But, there was one thing that stuck out to me. Or, really, two things. His eyes. His right eye was a deep crimson, while his left was a blue so light that it rivaled the sky. I watched the kid, who paid no attention to us, as he went to the back of the room and sat down.

"Hey, Cloud." Skyler said, regaining my attention. "Earth to Cloud."

I jolted back to them, saying, "What?"

"We were just wandering if you wanted to play some two on two tennis after school today." He said.

"Oh. Sure, but I don't have any gear." I replied.

"Don't worry about gear." Mei reassured me. "The school has some out in a shed that students can use if they don't have their own."

"Which is good," Mackenzie added, "seeing as none of us own any tennis gear."

"Oh." I said, feeling foolish.

"What's up?" Mei asked me, slightly concerned.

"What do you mean?" I replied.

"You seem distracted." She answered. "Everything all right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied. "Just a minor lapse in attention."

"Um, okay." She said. "Just as long as your fine."

I nodded, and said, "Trust me, I am."

I need to talk to him after school today. I have a few questions for the kid.

"So, meet back at your place after I shower?" Mei asked me, as we walked away from the tennis court together.

"Of course." I replied, kissing her.

"Alright, be there in an hour or so." She said, before dashing off towards the girl's dorm.

Alright, now's my chance. Let's try and find that kid. I started for the boy's dorm, watching closely for a certain heterochromatic teen. I scoured the school grounds, before finally finding him sitting at the edge of the property, under the shade of a tree. Looking at him, my suspicions were confirmed by the long blade in his hands. The blade was smooth and silver, sprouting from his backside. As I approached, I saw him sigh, looking down at the appendage.

"Hey, kid." I said, startling the teen. He jumped slightly, rushing to hide his tail, but I stopped him, saying, "Kid, I'm freakier than you, so calm the hell down."

He looked up at me curiously.

"Wait a minute." He said, sounding slightly scared. "You're the guy who chased me down the other day."

"Yeah, and you're the guy who stole my friend's hat." I replied, sitting down across from him. "Now that we've had an introduction, I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"So, you aren't going to kick my ass for that?" He asked.

"Only if you don't answer my questions." I replied. He nodded, so I said, "For starters, why did you try and take Skyler's hat?"

He shrugged, and said, "It was just a joke, really. I was just playing a prank."

"Alright." I said. "What's your name, kid?"

"Axe." He answered.

I stuck out my hand, saying, "Cloud." He shook my hand, so I added, "Nice to meet you." We retracted our hands, and I said, "So, what are you?"

He shrugged, and said, "I'm a fifteen year old freak."

I sighed, and said, "Yeah, I beat you in that part. What I meant is, what exactly are you?"

He once again shrugged, and said, "I don't quite know, really. I've just always went by a half-breed. Essentially, I'm a human with certain characteristics and powers, albeit weaker than yours, of a certain Pokemon. Obviously, I am an Absol."

"Interesting." I replied. "Are there any others like you?"

"I imagine." He answered. "Granted, if there are, I don't know any."

"Alright, last one." I began. "Why do you hide your tail?"

"I don't normally." He replied. "I'm just trying to start anew here, y'know, hide it."

I put my hand on his shoulder, and said, "Don't hide it." He looked at me, confused, so I explained, "Axe, it makes you who you are. You shouldn't hide the real you from people. Who knows, you may miss out on opportunities because of it."

"What, did you not try and hide your abnormalities?" He asked.

"Trust me, I did." I answered. "But, when I stopped hiding them, I used them to help people, all three of which became my best friends, one of whom is now my girlfriend. So, trust me, don't hide who you are."

"I guess that you're right." Axe replied.

I stood up, and said, "Good. Now, c'mon."

"Where are we going?" He asked me.

"I'm taking you to apologize to Skyler." I replied.

"What?" He asked. "Why?"

"Because it's the right thing to do." I replied. "Now, let's go."

As we began walking to the dorm, I pulled out my phone and sent a text to everyone, telling them to meet me at my dorm in five minutes. Axe and I got to my room within a few minutes.

"Alright, my friends are meeting us here." I told him. "But, while we wait, I have another question. How have I never seen you here?"

"Well, I didn't start attending until today." He answered. "So, you'd have an issue seeing me prior to today."

"Yeah, I guess." I replied, chuckling. "Anyway, you want something to drink?"

"Sure." He replied.

I went over to my fridge and pulled out two bottles of Coke. I gave on to him, keeping the other one for myself. After about five minutes, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it, to see that the others were standing outside.

"So, what's so urgent that we all need to be here?" Mei asked me.

"Well, I would like you to meet," I said, letting them in, "Axe."

They all came in, and saw Axe sitting on my couch.

"Hey." He chuckled awkwardly, waving slightly.

"Um, hi." Skyler greeted. "So, um, who are you?"

Axe sighed, before saying, "I'm the guy who stole your hat."

"That was you?" Skyler asked. Axe nodded, and Skyler shrugged and said, "Okay then."

"So, not to be rude, but what are you?" Mackenzie asked.

"I'm an Absol half-breed." Axe replied. "Essentially, I'm a human with a tail and magical powers."

"That's pretty fucking weird." Skyler commented.

"Skyler, you guys are friends with me." I pointed out. "How is that weirder than me?"

He sighed, and said, "Yeah, good point."

Yeah, it's short, I know. But, y'know, it introduced a new character. That, and it gave the basis for the next two chapters. So, yeah, fun. Anyway, I need to give credit out.

Axe Summer, the Absol half-breed, belongs to The DJ Absolution. Also, I hope that it's okay that I changed his age. I'm sorry, but eighteen is just much too old for this story.
