"Mikan!!" Alicia screamed again, "Help me!"

"I'm coming," Mikan hollered back, running a little faster.

Ryo looked Mikan dead in the eyes, as……

Chapter 9: Finally!

I'm sooooo sorry I didn't update for what…7 months? I was busy with school and then was just too lazy to update. Completely my fault. But I will get my act together and finish this story and Model Revenge this year. Sorry again!

…she fired a spiraling bolt of lightning at him. Mark, the dude with the barrier-alice, blocked the shot. Bolt after bolt kept Ryo from moving an inch, lest she actually hit him.

"Holy Cow (No insult to anyone who likes cows)!" he muttured to himself, "She was supposed to surrender! Why is she still fighting? This brat is so screwed up!"

Alicia had stopped fighting him…she was finding it hard to restrain her laughter. "This guy's nuts. He talks to himself. (Author: HEY! I talk to myself too! everyone blinks, crickets chirp…ANYWAY!) Please help me Mikan! Wait, why am I so helpless? This author sucks! (Author bows proudly)"

Narumi was still battling all of Ryo's pawns and getting really annoyed. He was no knight, nor a rook, or bishop. Persona edged away as Narumi pulled out his bean whip and began swinging it. By Jove, He was a cowboy! (Author hands him a straw hat, boots, and an old cowboy costume)

Yes…im sugar high…and really creeped out. I don't usually write this crazy.

This is the real story…above was just me going nuts…sorry (I've said that like 4 times already!)

A small rope descended from one of the few remaining helicopters. Grabbing hold, Ryo was pulled up. Mikan, using her flight alice, shot up after him, seemingly oblivious to the bullets and alices firing at her. Natsume and company we finally comng out of the shock of realizing they were right. Natsume began to burn and attack the remaining men. Yuu created illusions while Hotaru began firing her dreaded Baka Gun. Ruka called on lions and bears from the nearby Northern Forest. Youichi, of course, let his demons take care of everyone he could see.

Mikan, however, was oblivious to the aid. All attention was focused on the man holding her precious sister. Fire blazed in her eyes and the air around her swirled ominously. The normally sweet girl was the devil incarnate when people she loved were in trouble. Persona managed to get rid of the men swarming around him. Narumi joined him and went to help their favorite girls.

"Mikan…can I help?" Narumi said softly, knowing Mikan wasn't thinking about anyone else yet.

"Huh?? Oh, daddy! Yeah, sure…do what you want." Mikan replied absentmindly. Narumi began to charm the men protecting Ryo while Person went to take care of the men flying the helicopter.

"Sir! If you don't get up here, we wont make it out alive! Hurry!" a soldier yelled from the copter.

"Shut up! Don't tell me what to do!" Ryo spat bitterly. Mikan rose her eyebrows.

"And I thought Natusme used to be angry…" she muttered.

"Let's go get your sister, Polka-dots." A cold voice said from behind her. "We'll talk when we finish this."

Mikan gulped. That was one conversation she was NOT looking forward to.

"Ha-Hai" She stammered, as they started looking for a way to disable the attack without injuring any more students of Alicia. Ryo, meanwhile had begun to climb the anti-alice rope. Mikan tried to burn it, but to no avail. Apparently, anti-alice was more than just a title. Alicia began to struggle. Who said she was helpless?!

"Careful!" Narumi cautioned, glancing up at the younger of his two daughters.

"Alicia!" Mikan screamed as Ryo's grip on her sister slipped.

Demons began to spiral around the man flying the copter, as his co-pilot tired to fight Persona. The man paled, passing out due to the immense pressure and fear from the angry demons cast by one furious Youichi.

"Leave my mommy and sister alone!" he hollered bravely.

"No!" Mikan screamed as the copter suddenly shot out of control.

The crash shook the earth, all the fighters stopping to stare as flames began to fly from the wreck somewhere in the Northern Forest. Mikan began to run.

"Let's go. She's gonna need help." Hotaru said, trying not to show her relief that Mikan was, so far, okay. Ruka got on a nearby lion while his friends found other animals and Hotaru got on her duck scooter. Natsume hoisted Youichi on his back and began to run the same direction Mikan had gone. What awaited them, nobody knew.

Ok….so how was that for a rather pathetic return? I promise to TRY to update soon. Suggestions welcome. Ending this chapter or next. Schoolwork is getting really bad, so I'll do what I can to stay on task. Thanks and, once again, sorry.
