In early morning in mid-october, a group of girls sit outside in their school gym uniforms; all of them are white with either blue or red accents. They can hear other girls running on the track while a different group was ready to go for the high-jump. A girl with dark hair of a similar color to grass sat on the ground, constantly adjusting her posture. The couch blew her whistle as the group of girls on the ground watched a familiar dark haired figure run up and take her best shot at conquering the jump. She made it, landing on her back as the group of girls quietly applauded. The green haired girl however, was not pleased.
"Very nice, Heina-chan." The coach said.
"Heh, thanks!" Heina replied.
"Alright, go sit down. Arisu-chan, you're next!"
Heina shrugged and went to go sit down while the girl the coach called up took her turn. She sat down on a soft patch of grass next to the girl with green hair.
"I would like to state your performance was only so sufficient." The green haired girl said to Heina.
"Huh?" Heina replied.
"Your performance was only so good. Really you could have done much better, Yami-san."
"I don't care! I was tryin' my best!"
"If you did not care you would not be yelling."
"Eimi-chan! You're up!" The coach yelled.
"Here, I will show you how to do it." Eimi said.
Eimi rose from the place she sat and proceeded to walk up to the point where she would start. The coach blew her whistle loudly and Eimi began running to build up momentum, then when she reached the jumping point she leapt as high as she could. As she went through the air and above the bar she looked as if she was floating; Heina was actually captivated as she watched. It was as if Eimi was a butterfly that was gracefully flying over the beam. Eimi then landed on her back like Heina did, but got up slowly.
"Very good Eimi-chan, keep up the good work!" The coach said.
"It is not good work!" Eimi exclaimed, "I work for perfection!"
Heina held in a snicker. Somehow Eimi's remark amused her. In the group of girls watching, one looked like she had much on her mind, almost in a sinister way. She watched Eimi walk back to her spot on the grass next to Heina, examining them both.
"Two birds... with one stone? Hehe... This is going to be a lovely day..." The girl said.
The scene changed. The time for English class came and to either much or little surprise, Heina and Eimi ran into each other again for this mid afternoon class. They met at the door of the classroom and were about to walk in.
"Hey... You been stalking me Veghead?" Heina asked.
"Excuse me?" Eimi replied.
"This is the second time I've seen ya today, have ya been following me?"
Eimi had a very unamused look.
"The only reason we have seen each other so much is because of our class scheduling. There is no supernatural reason behind it nor would I stalk someone like you." Eimi said.
"Someone like me? Pfft! You know you love me!"
Eimi looked almost disgusted.
"Someone like you is referring to your multicolored hair, how indescribably uneven it is, your boots are very unfitting for your uniform, and... Those!" She said, pointing to Heina's chest.
Heina looked quite mad now, as she curled her hand up into a fist.
"Listen here girl, I don't care what ya say about my figure, but it makes me pretty mad that you're trying to point out my faults... And by the way..." Heina had an evil grin on her face, "Since you have such a problem with my uneven hair... You should get rid of those curls before saying stuff like that."
Eimi suddenly grasped her ponytail and seemed shocked Heina would mention her hair.
"Why did you have to remind me of my imperfect hair...?"
"Because you smack talked mine!" Heina replied.
Heina then walked into the classroom, possibly thirty seconds before the teacher would walk in. She sat down in her seat while she saw Eimi slowly walk to hers.
"Jeez... She took it so seriously..." Heina said to herself.
After that event the afternoon passed by as if time had decided to take a break and make the students suffer through their classes. The final bell rang loudly and Heina, who was half asleep in her seat, was suddenly hit with a crumpled piece of paper that came from behind her. She leapt up in her seat from the sudden projectile.
"Eh? Who threw that?" Heina asked, whipping around to look at everyone behind her.
Eimi was apparently sitting right behind her. Heina immediately assumed that Eimi had thrown the paper.
"Did you throw this?" Heina said.
"You were falling asleep! I need to talk to you anyhow..." Eimi replied.
"... Eh?"
"I need to talk to you, Yami-san."
Eimi stood up and started gathered her things. It seemed she took her sweet time carefully organizing them as well. Heina watched her. After only thirty seconds she was already getting annoyed.
"Can ya hurry up!"
Eimi only ignored Heina, she did not want to bother with yelling. It took her three minutes more to make sure of that every pencil, book, and eraser was placed in her bag just the way she wanted it to be. Eimi then began making her way out of the classroom.
"Are you coming Yami-san?" Eimi said.
"I'm coming! Sheesh!" Heina yelled.
Heina ran out of the door to follow Eimi, walking in the halls rather awkwardly since neither of them said a word. Out the doors of the school and on her way for the subway station Heina thought to herself: Is the chick mad at me or something? Suddenly, Eimi spoke up.
"Yami-san, I have to ask you something." Eimi said.
"What?" Heina replied in question.
Eimi turned around and looked at Heina, a bit nervous.
"I have to ask you... Have you had any strange marks appear on your body or any new abilities lately, Yami-san?"
"Eh... Um... Why would ya ask that?" Heina said.
Heina hid her hands behind her back, feeling as if she were being caught about her existence as a Mew.
"I was told by someone in our class that you had a such things and I must admit..."
"Admit what?" Heina said, raising an eyebrow at Eimi.
Eimi opened her mouth to speak, but before she could they heard a different voice.
"She wants to admit that she knows what you are, of course." The voice said.
"Who the heck is are you and how do ya know?" Heina yelled.
"Who am I? Well, really the question that should be answered first is how do I know what you are..."
"Thiat voice... You're the girl who told me about Yami-san!" Eimi exclaimed.
"Of course I told you, how else would I get you two together in this wonderful stage?"
"Stage...?" Heina said in confusion.
Eimi and Heina looked around, only to realize where they were; a usually populated part of the city. Today however, it seemed very quiet...
"What the... There's no one here... So why are we here?" Heina demanded.
"So I can kill you without witnesses, of course."
"Dang... What do I do..." Heina said to herself.
Suddenly, the girl with black hair that reached the back of her shoulder blades jumped down from a somewhat short tree. She opened her eyes and looked at Eimi and Heina in a sinister way.
"So then... Two birds with one stone. And sadly these birds have no place to fly away to. Pitiful, isn't it?"
Eimi tried to remain calm, but she was almost ready to lose it. She did not want to die today, and yet it seemed she may at the hands on this strange girl.
"Let's see... The tigress Heina Yami. And the butterfly Eimi Heiwa... I do not know whether to kill one or the other first... Either way you will both die..."
"Butterfly? What craziness are you trying to talk about!" Eimi yelled, now frightened.
"Eimi Heiwa, I am perfectly aware of who you are. You are sixteen years old, younger sister to Natsumi Heiwa, you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and you are a Mew, infused with the Richmond Birdwing Butterfly."
Eimi took a step back, shocked. Heina thought to herself, making sure not to say anything to Eimi about this sudden realization. So she's a Mew... Maybe I can get her help...
Heina was about to yell to Eimi and give her a direction, however before she did she felt a fist ram into her chest. Heina suddenly gasped deeply for air as she was sent slamming into the ground. Eimi was now scared; this was all so sudden.
"Heh..."
The unknown girl turned around and faced Eimi, advancing on her. She cracked her knuckles, her pace seems slow.
"That should put her out of the way for the amount of time I need to get you taken care of. Now then..."
Suddenly the girl's voice was overlapped by Heina's.
"Is that all that ya can do?...
The girl stopped in surprise after Heina started speaking, she did not think that Heina would be able to talk for another minute or so at the least.
"Heh. I would have thought more..."
"If you are asking for more, than you realize you are trying to tempt me to kill you here and now?" The girl asked.
Heina grinned, trying to amuse the girl.
"And what if I am?..."
"If you are, then I would suggest you hurry up and transform, Mew Darkness!"
The girl turned around while Eimi looked confused. Mew Mews, Mew Darkness... The Richmond Birdwing butterfly...
"Fine... I'll transform..." Heina said.
Heina staggered to her feet and then spoke out the words that triggered her transformation.
"Darkness DNA Switch!"
Heina was suddenly transformed in a quick flash of light, and Eimi's pupils dilated with shock. She thought for a moment, for she had seen Mew Darkness on the news with her sister. Yami-san... Is Mew Darkness... I should have known in the first place, the resemblance is uncanny. Heina, now in the form of Mew Darkness, looked at the girl.
"So... Ya wanted a fight, right?" Heina asked.
"Indeed I do. I highly doubt that you can defeat me however." She replied.
"So what? I'll fight until I'm dead!" Heina said.
"Heh... I admire your courage, Yami-san, however that is really your stupidity talking at the moment."
Eimi was beginning to feel helpless. She did not really care for Heina, but when she discovered that Heina was Mew Darkness, she had gotten an urge to assist her in the fight.
"Yami-san... Mew Darkness. Don't fight..." Eimi said.
"What? You obviously can't take my place!" Heina yelled back.
"What if you get hurt again?"
"Distracting my target? I just may leave you alive Heiwa-san." The girl said, overlapping Eimi's words.
Eimi ran out in front of Heina.
"Do not fight, Yami-san."
"Eimi? Get outta the way now!"
"Yami-san, I do not really care for you. But it appears that you cannot defeat the opponent without help and seeing as you are Mew Darkness you should live. And as for the enemy... You have a hidden arcane..."
As Eimi spoke the last word a circle with two spirals appeared on her knee, however she did not notice.
"... Or secret if you will, how else would you know about me and Yami-san!"
Eimi was then enveloped in a soft green light that then quickly flashed off her. She was now wearing a costume with lace and garters like Heina's, or for better term, she was wearing her very own Mew costume. Butterfly wings were now coming from Eimi's back and they slowly waved back and forth until coming to a stop.
"Heh... So this is the fifth Mew to be found. The green Mew, Eimi Heiwa. She still does not know what her weapon are nor what her power is, so take your best shot, Mew Darkness."
"Fine... Eimi! Stay here..."
Heina then placed her hand out the side of her body, as if waiting for something.
"Dark Bow!" She shouted.
Suddenly, Mew Heina's Bow appeared in her hand. Eimi looked and was now curious as to how to quickly get her own weapon in hand. Suddenly she heard Heina yell the words "Bleak Beat" and a loud blasting noise a short second afterword.
"Heh. You are better than that, aren't you Mew Darkness!" The girl shouted.
Eimi stood there deep in thought as the sounds of the battle raged on. She was beginning to get frustrated; why could the words not come to her? Suddenly, she heard Heina shout at her to look out; one of her attacks had rebounded and was on its way to Eimi.
She looked up, there was indeed an arrow coming straight at her. A split second before it hit her, she braced herself and screamed out words.
"Spinning Shield!" She cried.
Those words were the key to the second door; unlocking her weapon. When the arrow hit her it was stopped by something that was materializing under a light green glow. The arrow disintegrated and the glow on the materializing weapon burst off. It revealed a shield with a golden outline, and the inside of it was Dark green with pale green swirls.
"She has her weapon? And It is nothing but a mere shield? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mew Darkness, you are at a loss unless her attack gives you a lift." The unknown girl said.
"Quit antagonizing me, you witch!" Heina yelled in frustration.
"But am I not the antagonist of this story that is about to end?" She asked.
"Gah... Eimi, prepare yourself..." Heina said.
"Right!" Eimi replied.
Heina set her feet firmly in the ground, preparing for her attack as she looked around the area. She was looking to aim at this unknown girl, however Heina could not spot her.
"Yami-san, look out!" Eimi yelled.
"Huh?" Heina said.
Suddenly, the girl popped up right in front of Heina, face to face.
"Surprise!" She said.
She curled her hand into a fist and made sure to quickly throw it into Heina's midriff, putting as much force into it as she could. She was not trying to knock Heina over this time, she was trying to kill her. Heina could feel the force slam into her ten times harder than before, her eyes dilated from the sudden impact as she was thrown to the ground, gasping for air.
"I may have used the same attack from last time... But this time, I made sure I was not held back. I don't want you down, Mew Darkness. I want you dead." The girl said.
"Leave her be already!" Eimi shouted.
"If you want to help her, then I suggest you attack me yourself."
"But... I... Ah..."
Eimi was left in thought, the only thing she had was a shield to protect herself. No attack yet, she knew that Heina's would suffice for energy. This enemy was different, she needed stunned. Eimi stood there for a second, then positioned herself. She would at the very least try to do something.
"I do not have an attack, but that does not mean I cannot battle." Eimi said.
"Heh... How foolish of you..." The girl said.
The girl, got in a position as if she were preparing to run.
"Hit me with your best shot, Mew Eimi!"
She ran at full speed ahead, Eimi's eyes kept focus on her. The shield suddenly began spinning as Eimi cried out words she had never heard before.
"Spinning Distortion!" Eimi cried.
The Shield spun at the speed of what seemed to be 50 miles an hour; and sent off energy waves. The girl was hit with these waves and suddenly came to a halt. Everything slowly became blurred, and even seemed to spin along with the shield itself. She stumbled over, and the attack Eimi let loose slowly came to a halt.
"How... the heck... Did you do that..." The girl said.
"I... Do not know... Yami-San! Quickly, she's vulnerable!"
Heina looked over, still on the ground. Slowly pushing herself up, she grinned in approval.
"Thanks veg-head... Let's end this..."
"Yes, Yami-san."
Heina held her arm out to the side and regained her bow, then got into position for attack.
"Thanks for the trouble girl, it was interesting fighting something besides a chimera... Bleak Beat!"
The energy fired off of Heina's weapon in a bright blaze, stronger than the attacks before. The unknown girl was directly hit by the attack, leaving her with bruises and wounds.
"So it appears... That you Mews are stronger than though... Heh... Everything is going according to plan... I will catch you later, Mew Darkness..." The girl said.
Suddenly there was bright light that blinded Heina and Eimi, little did they know that a portal like doorway had opened up for the girl to escape quickly. The light dimmed, she was gone. Heina remained kneeling as she had been in firing position, that battle took out all of her energy and strength.
"Yami-san, will you be alright?" Eimi said.
"Heh... I'll be super after I go home and explain t'my sisters why I have giant black bruises on my stomach tomorrow..." Heina replied.
"Do you want to go have someone look at you?" Eimi asked.
"The only person I want to look at me in my life is a lover, and I'm not concerned about myself at the moment..."
"What are you concerned about?'
"Who that chick was... She was only a human, but she must have spent a good amount of her life doing martial arts, because she was pretty strong..."
"We will find out soon enough, Yami-san."
"Yeah... Oh, and by the way..."
Heina looked up at Eimi, grinning.
"Welcome to the Mew Project, Mew Eimi."
