Here's Chapter 2, I don't feel like writing a disclaimer on every Chapter, if you want to see it that badly, than go to Chapter 1! As I've said before, this is a Fanfiction, the fact that they're not my characters is a given! Leave me alone Namko!
Momo and Chaos slowly approached the small side room. Momo delicately knocked on the door and waited for a response, but all she heard were sobs.
"Excuse me?" she asked warmly. "Are you alright in there?"
"Go…away…" the voice replied. Momo's eyes widened.
"Oh my goodness, Jin, is that you?"
"I…said…go…away!" Jin sobbed even harder than before. For once Chaos' expressionless face looked both shocked and annoyed.
"Jin," he said irritatedly. "What did Shion do now?"
"I...said…go...away!"
"Stand aside Momo."
"Alright Chaos, what are you going to do?" she questioned nervously.
"This," Chaos balled up his fists and punched at the door. "Ashes to ashes."
With that stupid phrase the door broke down. Instantly Momo ran into the room to see Jin balled up in the fetal position, sobbing like a little girl. Momo had to suppress her giggles as she sat down next to the tall "man" and patted him on the shoulder.
"What's wrong Jin?" she asked concerned. Jin looked up with his puffy red eyes and stared at the little girl.
"Like…moths to…a…flame…" he repeated.
"…" Momo said nothing.
"Like…moths…to a…flame…she'll shut me…out for…good…"
"…Alright then…" Momo didn't know what to say, she just stared at Jin oddly as Chaos began walking up slowly behind her.
"Let me handle this Momo."
"OK." Momo didn't leave the room, she just sat on the opposite side of it, playing with the heels of her boots. Seeing the girl occupied, Chaos spoke.
"I thought I told you before Jin, Shion won't shut you out. She hasn't either, so why are you acting like this?"
"I…saw…a…moth…" Jin replied shakily. Chaos looked at the man disgusted.
"All of this over a moth, my God Jin how pathetic can you be?"
Jin said nothing. He just looked over at Momo playing innocently and a smiled crossed his face.
"Y…your right Chaos, I shouldn't relapse like that, I'm sorry."
"Oh, look at how pretty!"
Both men looked up. The saw Momo staring gleefully at a moth. It slowly flew up to a candle hanging in a lantern. The moth fluttered up to the flame and blindly ran head first into the candlelight, it then died on impact. Momo gasped.
"Poor thing…" she said sadly. "We should have a funeral for it."
"A moth…" Jin slowly began sobbing again and crumpled onto the floor. "Like moths to a flame, OH CHAOS!" Jin dragged Chaos down with him and began sobbing into his friends shoulder. Not knowing what to do, Momo ran out of the room, came back in with a piece of paper and a tiny box, and sat back down. She began talking to herself.
"Today we're here to honor Reginald McMothfort…"
Jr roamed through the large crowd of people in the ballroom, looking for new victims. He spotted two faces that looked familiar and ran up to them so fast that they dropped their food and drinks. The tiny red head pulled out his guns and cocked them at the man's head.
"Hello." Jr said kindly. "Would you like to buy some candy sir?"
"Holy shit dude!" the man hollered, he looked over to his girlfriend. "I thought you said we'd never see him again babe!"
"I thought we wouldn't," the girl said with her mall girlish tone. "I thought we got rid of him once we gave him all of our money from before."
"What do you want man, I don't want any trouble, it's almost Christmas after all." The man glanced from Jr to his girlfriend nervously.
"Yeah, there shouldn't be a funeral so close to Christmas, should there? All I want is for you to buy some candy." Jr said, inching his barrel towards the man's temple. The man held back a whimper.
"Let's see, for you…100 GP a piece."
"But that's-"
The girlfriend was about to retort when Jr shot a bullet centimeters away from her boyfriend's forehead. The girl shrieked and started rummaging through her purse, giving Jr all the money she could find.
"Here, here. Don't hurt us, it's like, gonna be OK just leave us alone!"
Jr took all the money the woman threw at him and smiled at them warmly.
"Thank you very much ma'am." Jr walked away as quickly as he had shown. The woman looked at the now crying man and patted him on the shoulder.
"There there babe, maybe we can get a restraining order next time."
"B-but we don't even know his name." the man sniffled.
"Well…" the girl sighed hopelessly.
"Well then it looks like we're gonna be getting mugged an awful lot."
Jr stopped in the corner of the room and started counting his money.
"500, score. I need a little more for Momo to get some good presents though." Jr ran back into the crowd, looking for more people to "sell" candy to.
"I said leave me alone Alan!"
"But Chief-"
"GO AWAY!"
Shion turned around and let Alan ram right into her. Her eyes were buldging out of their sockets. Alan looked at her and immediately shrunk down frightened.
"No one loves me, no one cares about me, and they all want me dead!"
"That's not true Chief…" Alan said in a very small voice. "I…I l-l-love you…"
"Love me, blah!" Shion spat at the floor. "Why would I want a loser like you to love me, your no Kevin!"
"Kevin was psycho Chief!" Alan hollered frustratedly.
"Kevin cared about me, unlike everyone here!"
"That's not true Chief, maybe…" Alan looked down at his fists, he shook them and heard a noise of pills rattling against a bottle.
"M…maybe you need some of these."
Alan opened his fists. Shion glared down at them. One bottle had a blue label on it, in white writing it read MIDOL. The other label read ADVIL ANTI-DEPRESSANTS. Shion glared up at Alan.
"HOW DARE YOU!!" she shouted indignantly. "I TOLD COS-MOS, I DON'T NEED PILLS!!!!"
With that Shion decked Alan square in the nose. Alan doubled over in pain, dropping the bottles and holding his now bleeding nose. Shion then picked up the ADVIL bottle and threw it into his stomach.
"YOU NEED THESE!" she hollered. "I'M FINE, I'M NOT CRAZY!!"
Shion stormed off. When she walked into the doorway she ran into Miyuki who was smiling cheerfully.
"OK guys, I used an Ether Pack on my lip, I can party again!" she shouted to no one in particular.
"GUESS AGAIN!" Shion glared at Miyuki maniacally and punched her in the jaw. The sane girl ran the opposite direction and began to cry. Shion snickered wickedly.
"That's it." She said to herself. "If I can't be happy, if no one loves me than I'll make everyone else miserable. I am the ultimate chain, know me, and define me…MWAHAHA!"
Shion ran out of the ballroom, ready to wreak havoc. Alan looked up at the doorway, tears in his eyes.
"Poor Chief…" he said sadly. "There's only one thing I can do."
Alan pulled out his communicator and pushed a button for a certain extension.
"Hello, Vector Insane Esilam. There's someone you need to pick up on the Durandle."
In the side room…
"And with a heavy heart, I bury Reginald McMothfort in the hopes that he will live on in our hearts and our souls."
Momo finished her funeral service for the moth, not paying attention to the two grown men and what was happening on the other side of the room. She looked over to Jin and smiled warmly.
"There there Jin, don't cry. Reginald wouldn't want you to cry."
"Like…moths…" he tried to say. Chaos took this opportunity to pull away from the wussy man and motioned for Momo to come to his side.
"You take care of him Momo. I have…responsibilities to take care of."
"Oh, OK." The pink haired girl ran over to Jin energetically.
"Do you wanna play patty cake Jin, or…rock paper scissors? Or maybe 20 questions or…"
Momo's voice trailed off as Chaos left the room. He scanned the ballroom for a certain blue haired android. He spotted her and walked over to her calmly.
"Hello Mary." He said mono tonely.
"Hello Chaos, what can I do for you?" Cos-mos said coolly. Chaos took Cos-mos' hand in his and looked into her eyes.
"Mary my love, you shouldn't be in this body anymore. How can we…do certain things if you're still in this form?"
"I'm not sure." Cos-mos replied. "There's a 50 percent chance that we will not be able to perform those functions."
"I se…"
"It would be better to get a vessel, there would be a higher probability of success with those functions if we had a human vessel."
"Alright then." Chaos answered. He took Cos-mos and started pulling her into the crowd.
"Let us find you a proper vessel. With this event being so huge,
we're bound to find someone good enough for your soul."
"What exactly are the qualifications for a good vessel Chaos?"
"A tortured soul." He started. "Some one who no longer has the will to go on, some one who wishes to be destroyed by the loniness and emptiness in they're hearts, some one who-"
"Hey guys!" Momo ran to their side and waved at them gleefully.
"I got Jin to stop crying, he's back in the ballroom partying away."
"Let's try her."
