Splitting Hairs
After hearing the news that the school is going to be closed down for a time for repairs all five women converge on Moka's room. After they arrive the discuss what they are going to do.
"If there going to shut down for a while i guess we all go to our respective homes." Moka says with trepidation
"If we are all going home how can i spend time with my destined one.!" Kurumu says as her voice went up several octives.
"From what i was told it will be only for a short time we will be with him again." Ruby does her best to reasure them.
"At least i wont have to use my peoples lolipop to keep cool in this enviroment. But i would miss Tsukune." Mizore says in her usual low voice.
The girls sit there for a few minutes in silence until Yukari looks at the clock on the wall.
"Hey has anyone checked on Tsukune since we put him in his room." Yukari voices a thought.
The girls look at her and think for a moment. Until Kurumu speaks up.
"No i don't think we have and i don't think he knows about what is happening."
"Oh that reminds me i need to tell him to bring some sort of box with him tomorrow that he has had for a while." Ruby speaks up.
"What box?" Mizore says dryly.
"I don't know what it could be but lets go check on him." Ruby says as the girls get up and leave Moka's room.
While there walking inner moka speaks to outer moka.
'what is the matter with you he proved himself to us.' inner moka says.
'I know but he could of died.' Outer responds.
'He has a power that even rivals us so dont be nervous.' inner responds.
With that not another word between the two are spoken. Several minutes later the group reaches the young mans room. Kurumu knoks on the door. Several seconds go by until they hear.
"Coming!" Came a grogy voice from the other side. A few seconds later the door opens.
"Hey what are you all doing here." He says. Tsukune still wearing the Green ring but he reverted back to his normal school uniform.
"We just came by to let you know since we think you don't know that the school is going to be closed for a while for repairs and that the student body is to be assembled infront in the morning for some reason and that you are to bring a box that you know what it is with you." Ruby informs Tsukune of the situation.
Tsukune looks at them before replying."Sorry about not inviting you all in I'm still exusted from eariler. So I'm just going to go back to bed but i will see you all later." He says to the group.
He starts to close the door when Moka asks. "If it is ok with you can I." She tries to ask about taking some of his blood.
Tsukune with the look of annoyance."Moka i will give you some tomorrow but right now I need some sleep and all of you should do the same it's going to be a long day tomorrow." He says as he closes the door and they hear him get back into bed.
The girls have a look of shock on there face especialy Moka who looks like she has been kicked in the chest.
"Well thats something new." Mizore breaks the silence.
"Well he is tired so it probably nothing." Moka says with some fear in her voice.
'tired my ass he rejected us he must be tought a lesson.' inner moka chims in.
'not now he has been through alot so maybe that is what it is.' outer says.
while walking Yukari stops.
"Well seeing that its late why don't we all go to our rooms and get some rest it's going to be a busy day tomorrow." She says to the group.
Ruby gets infront of the group. "I agree with Yukari maybe we all need some rest so we can be ready for what the day may bring tomorrow."
The rest of the group stand there for a few moments in thought until Mizore speaks up.
"Your right I'm going to get some sleep alot happened today." She says and with that she leaves the group and heads to her room. One by one they say there goodbyes for the night in hopes that tomorrow will be better.
In Tsukune's room after the encounter with the girls who think he went to bed he got up and looked for the box which didn't take long to find since it was on a shelf in his closet. He opens the box and the rings are still there minus his which is on his finger.
"Well I wonder you are you going to chose." He says to no one inperticular. With that he puts the now closed box on his night stand for tomorrow and he turns in for the night.
Tomorrow morning 7 a.m. The students are assembled infront of the school. Tsukune is headed there now in a rush since he slept very heavily when he ran into Kilowag.
"OOF." He said as he smashed into the pigman from Bolovax Vik and drop the box onto the groud
Kilowag looks down at him like he barely feel anything. "Well at least i don't have to track you down." He says as he helps Tsukune up off the ground.
"No i should of watched where i was going. Wheres the box." He says as he looks around and finds the box not to far from him.
"Well its a good thing i did run into you since you need to be at the podium because before the headmaster dismisses you guys the rings are going to chose there owners." Kilowag explains the situation to Tsukune.
Tsukune finishes brushing himself off. "Well we better be off so we can get this overwith and i can go home."
'This kid has no idea what is going to happen.' Kilowag thinks to himself as they head towards the assembled students.
A minute or so later Tsukune reaches the podium as the headmaster gives his speech.
"Since the school is going to be repair I will let you know that there will be upgrades like internet and cell service and a few other surprises when you get back. I will now turn this over to a friend of mine." The headmaster says as he gets out of the way of Ganthet.
Ganthet approches the podium. He begins to speak. "Young ones you are the future but you must remember you are part of this planet and its up to you to make the most of the oppertunities that are given to you. Now I must ask you for your patients for a while longer." He says as he motions for Tsukune over.
"Mr. Aono here has been holding onto something that should make your lives more interesting. The power rings inside this box will chose there wielders but do not put the rings on when they are near you just grab them and come up here and from that we will show you what to do." Ganthet says as he opens the box and the rings the moment the box is opened fly out.
The rings fly up to the sky and hang there for moment until the yellow and the green rings desend and go through the rows of students like there studying them until both rings settle infront of Moka which she looks at them.
'Can't you hear them they have chose us.' Inner speaks
'Yes i know what do i do.' Outer responds.
'Grab them.' inner responds.
At that moment she grabs both rings with both hands but doesn't put them on as was instructed. There are murmurs from the assembled students.
"Sure she gets chosen first." Kururmu says annoyed.
Just then the sapphire colored ring decents and parks itself right infront of Kurumu.
"Yahoo I was chosen!" She says as she grabs the ring infront of her.
"Great now that milk cow gets more power just wonderful." Yukari says but at that moment the white ring comes to her. She doesn't say anything she just grabs the ring.
Mizore who is watching her friends one by one get power rings but she is not feeling jealousy but more compassion for her friends then the indigo colored ring comes to her she grabs it. "Well this is going to be fun." She says in her usual low voice.
Ruby who is standing near the podium is watching as she has a great deal of hope for the future for her young friends as the Blue ring comes to her she grabs it. "This is going to be a long story to tell others in the time to come." She says
The only ring that has not come down is the orange ring which doesn't seem to be pleased with the crowd so it keeps moving to the barrier and exists the area.
"Whats it doing or better wheres it going." The headmaster asks Ganthet
Ganthet turns to Headmaster. "Its going to find its wielder." Ganthet replieso
The girls on the other hand had moved to infront of the podium.
"The rest of you are dismissed and have a good vacation." The Headmaster tells the rest of the group.
Tsukune jumps down from the podium and goes over to the girls.
"We are all in the same boat now."He says as he looks onto the group but Moka is looking sad for a reason. He walks over to her.
"Whats wrong Moka." He asks her.
"Why am i the only one with two rings." She responds.
"Thats a good question why does she get to have two rings plus what about the orange ring." Mizore poses the two questions.
"All your questions will be answered soon but for now gather your things and come with us." Ganthet says as he approches the group.
"Are you going to take us to your home planet." Yukari asks.
"No but again the questions and some equipment are on our ship outside the barrier we will get that bus driver to take us back to the location and then Mr. Jordan will take you to the watchtower to meet the main members of the justice league and remember don't put the rings on yet." Ganthet replies to the question.
So the group rushes to there rooms to gather the things they will need. A half hour later the group returns to the front of the school where the bus driver and the lantern group is waiting for them.
"Well the bus is going to be full today. Alright everyone on the bus so we can get back to the other side." The bus driver says while smoking his cigar. Everyone gets onto the bus. When everyone is in there seats as best they could be the bus driver heads for the tunnel. Several seconds later they reappear on the other side a short drive later there back at where the ships is but the only people that are still around is the titans. The bus comes to a stop and the door opens. The group gets off the bus.
Beast Boy walks up to Yukari noticing her hat and wand. "What are you suppose to be a witch." He says to her.
Starfire standing next to Nightwing looks at him. "What is a witch?"
Nightwing looks ahead."I'll tell you when we get home." He says
Raven yanks him back. "Hey what was that for?" Beast boy asks.
"Don't be rude, or i will tell your sister Garfield or make you sleep on the floor." Raven says to drive her point home to her boyfriend.
Beast boy stands there for a moment.
"Yes dear i will apologize." Before he could do said thing the group was not around anymore. Shruging his shoulders he walks away.
Inside the ship.
"So when are we going to put our rings on!" Yukari yells out.
Ganthet turns to look at her.
"As said on this planet patients is a virtue. There are a few things i must let you all know first." He explains to them as they enter the medical bay.
"First off i have known about who and what you are since Mr. Aono entered your school. Before you start asking questions let me explain the ring he posesses also allowed me to see through his eyes in a way so i have known about your powers and i know about Ms. Akashiya's duality." He explains to all.
"So thats why we have all this crazy equipment with us." Kilowag says.
Ganthet moves over to two pillar like devices. "These devices here should make instead of one Moka into two seperate individuals. First let me scan you and make sure it is calibrated properly.
'He's going to do what.' inner moka speaks up.
'I think he is going to give us sperate bodys' outer responds
'I got a few questions have Tsukune to let me out.' Inner demands.
She walks up to Tsukune. "Tsukune inner wants to ask a few questions she wants out." She tells Tsukune.
"Well this does involve her." He says as he pulls the rosario off.
The moment he takes the rosario off violet light engulfs everything as Moka transforms from her outer persona. Her features change and her hair goes from pink to silver and her eyes go from green human like eyes to slited red eyes. As the light dies down inner moka is now standing where outer moka is.
She looks over to Tsukune."It's been a while Tsukune but i will deal with you later." She says as she turns to Ganthet. "Before you do anything what do you need to scan me for." She says as she glares at Ganthet.
"Well I want to make sure that the device will work properly so sit down please." Ganthet requests as he starts to scan her. Several moments pass and there is a beep from the scanner.
"Whats that beep about." Ruby asks.
Ganthet looks at the device readout. "I'm not sure but let me look over the scans." He says as he updates the med computer with inners scans. "Mr. Aono could you put the Rosery back on so i can scan normal Moka." He instructs.
"That beep better not be anything bad or i will make you learn your place." She says as the Rosary is put back into its place and the silver hair is replaced with pink and red eyes are back to there normal green. She falls back into Tsukune's arms.
"Tsukune i need.."She attempt to say but is interupted by Ganthet.
"You can have some later right now i need to finish." Ganthet says annoyed as he uses the device on normal Moka and once again a beep is heard through the room.
"Well what is going on."Kurumu sounding impatient.
"Its going to take a little time to figure out these readings so for now i will ask all of you to leave the med bay i will call for you later but for now leave your rings on the table until i call for you again." Ganthet against explains what needs to happen. They do as they are told they leave there rings and exit.
On the bridge everyone is waiting.
"What worries me is that beep that the scan device made I hope its nothing bad." Yukari says worried.
"Its probably just showing that inner has a heart or something." Mizore trying to tone down the situation.
Hal walks over to the group.
"Its probably nothing Ganthet has been around for awhile and well he usually gets things done." Hal trys to make them feel better.
Sinestro then comes over.
"Yeah just another reason why i let him live when i eliminated the rest of the Gaurdian councel." He says letting them know that the rest of the Gaurdians are gone.
Tsukune then turns to Sinestro.
"Then why do you have a power ring." He points out getting into a defensive stance.
"This ring is my original ring and well it believes that it can redem me. I use to be a yellow lantern in other words a villian." letting them all know about his past.
For several minutes no one says anything until the door opens and Ganthet enters the bridge.
"I finished my analysis and i couldnt find anything wrong but it does worry me a little but the final calabration of the device is also finished so if all of you would follow me." He orders and the group of teens follow him back into the med bay.
Ganthet turns to Moka. "Now Moka I now need you to step into this device right here." He points to the entry way to the first pillar.
Moka even though she is worried does it she enters the device. The door closes behind her. Ganthet glids over to the controls and presses a few buttons. The devices start to hum and the room starts to fill with light and the humming gets louder to the point where everyone except for Ganthet have to cover there eyes and ears.
"AAAAAHHHHHH..." Moka screams from the first device.
"We have to shut it down it's hurting her!" Tsukune shouts.
"No i want to see this through." Moka yells through the walls of the device even though it was muffled they could hear it through the intercom.
Several more minutes pass and with the humming and light ends. Ganthet gets in the middle of both devices and presses a button and both doors open and a steam/fog come out of the devices doors blinding everyone. Several seconds pass and what they see next seems impossible.
"Ladys and Gentleman i give you Moka 1 and Moka 2." Ganthet says with both Moka's comming out of the devices while wearing the school uniform.
