Chapter 4: Kyoko's rampage
"Blackening complete master. The subject will now follow your every command. Even kill Sayaka Miki. A telephathic voice rang out from a small white lop eared bunnycat thing with red eyes and a permanent smiling expression. His/her/its name is Kyubey an incubator, and nowadays a slave. By the way even thought Kyubey is genderless it will be identified as a male for convinience sakes.
"Excellent. Minion go to Planeptune and kill Sayaka Miki. Do not fail me." A girl whose sitting in an elaborate golden floating throne made of pained incubators whose figure was hidden by shadows only showing an outline of a girl with long hair with a dark purple ribbon and strange wings of some sort.
The minion is a girl in black with a red gem in her chest pale skin, gold eyes, red markings on her body and long pale red hair in a ponytail. "Yes my liege, I shall murder that rebel scum." Speaking in an echoing robotic voice then speaking in a casual if rude tone. "It'll be a fight to the death for reals."
The minion teleports away as the mysterious figure smiles looking first at a large series of towers full of pods full of people ripped straight from the Matrix movies. Complete with eerie glowing pods, flying teeth shapee familiars serving as maintenance drones. The figure turns her throne showing behind a separate pod with flowers and pink ribbons all around. "Soon all obstacles will be eliminated. And we can be together forever. Madoka." The figure goes to the pod stroking it gently and disturbingly accompanied with creepy piano strings.
At that time the incubator slave was scheming. "Perv out all you want master. For now."
Meanwhile our heroes Kira Yamato, Athrun Zala, Shinn Asuka and Stellar Loussier are finishing their training with Tails doll who modified the house not just into a training facility with all the amenities. And manipulated time to make it so a year has passed in a week. As for our heroes and guest party member Sayaka Miki?
"DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!" Tails doll yelled as he threw meteors from up high at the group whom most avoided deftly while wearing 75 pound turtle shells. Except Sayaka who barely avoided being squashed. Running from one place to another while flailing around cartoon style. The training had done wonders for our heroes improving their skills and mastery of protagonist power. While Sayaka barely kept up with her training even with her puella magi AKA her magical girl powers restored.
Sung to the tune of make a man out of you.
(Tails doll)
Lets get down to business.
To kill a young girl
(Sayaka)
But I don't think i'm ready
(Tails doll)
Shut up, you fail
You're the weakest puella i've ever met
But you can bet before were through
Sayaka, i'll make a man out of you
(Sayaka)
But i'm a girl.
(Tails doll)
DOOOOOODGEEEE! Tails doll then launches a thundaga strike that hits and fries Sayaka but good from his antenna.
Sometime later after the week has passed our heroes training is complete Tails doll gives some closing words with a tinge of pride in his voice even as he looks to our heroes. "Erhem... testing... testing...
Can you feel the sunshine? All right, during this past week year you've all made great progress in your physical and mental skills. Except you Sayaka. What the hell?" Sayaka who is again wearing her black hood could only put on a face of mixed embarrassment at her failure and annoyance at Tails doll's utter bluntness. "Anyways the year week spell should be ending any moment soon and we will synchronize with the time stream outside the house. I would like to thank you all for this opportunity (sob) I'm so (sniffle) proud of you all." Tails doll wipes his tears and blows his nose with his right arm. And then with a yell of "COACH!" our heroes tackle and hug Tails doll with tears of joy in their face all to a rousing instrumental version of Can you feel the sunshine. Even lifting him up like some kind of cheesy sports flick. All while Sayaka watched in mild amusement at the sheer cheese of it all.
Then entire manor began to distort and alter the landscape for a short time and then quickly returns to normal. Sayaka claps twice to get the attention of the rest of the group. "Okay, okay, time's up we need to get going."
Our heroes put down Tails doll and put some distance between him. He continues his speech with. "As you can tell the spell is broken and the timeline has normalized. Homura Akemi is a dangerous foe so be careful."
"Are you sure you can't come with us Tails doll?" Stellar asks Tails doll with a glimmer of sadness in her eyes.
"I can't, I have other things to do after this. But we can keep in touch with each other with each other." Tails doll hands Stellar a yellow smart phone with white tips on its lower end with a Tails doll strap on it. "Check it out." Stellar holds the phone as Tails doll's gem begin to glow and beep. Then a ring tone of Can you feel the sunshine? Begins to play on the phone. Stellar picks it up saying hello and Tails doll telling Stellar from the phone. "This way we can communicate with each other when needed."
"Neat!" Stellar shouts out.
Shinn sternly tells Stellar "Now be careful with the demonic cell phone Stellar." Like a concerned parent to which Stellar nods in acknowledgement.
"Are you sure you should leave Stellar the phone?" Athrun voices out in concern.
"To which Kira pats Athrun's back in reassurance telling him. "Nothing to worry. Besides Stellar isn't a kid anymore." Kira then gives Athrun a thumbs up to dissuade his worries.
"Well we've talked enough so lets head back to Planeptune." says Athrun.
Shinn asks "How? We can't exactly call a cab from here."
Athrun simply wags his finger vocalizing "Tch, tch, tch." And answering "Well take the Personalized multipurpose all terrain van. The Radiantmobile."
"The Radiantmobile Athrun?" Shinn asks in a sarcastic tone.
"Yes, after all we're the Radiant ZAFT and we need a car, so Radiantmobile." Athrun goes on to explain as the scene shifts to the garage of the manor. Which is one of the more run down places there even after Athrun got thru with it thanks to Tails doll's summoning of parts and equipment. Making it look like a chaotic hodgepodge of new and old yet still functional. A testament to Athrun's surprisingly good engineering skills.
The Radiantmobile itself is a van painted in red with a Zaku command antenna on top and the groups name and contact information on the side. Seemingly simple at a glance it possessed some fairly advanced technology inside the hood. Its motor being a GN motor, minituarized technology from Celestial being based of GN drives produced by the Halevy foundation originally used for its Gundams. All terrain, full grip wheels with powered suspension. An advanced computer system system with wireless quantum network functions. And a hi-def surround sound system radio. It is Athrun's masterpiece, or at least the latest one in his mind. But then again Athrun becomes very arrogant when it comes to his creations. Observe...
"Behold as the author explained I Athrun Jacques Zala have surpassed the gods! Bwahahahaha! Yes, they shall build monuments to my genius and stuff!"
Meanwhile while Athrun was stroking his god complex everyone else minus Tails doll who was saying his goodbyes. Were getting inside the car.
"Stellar drives." The extended says as she takes the wheel.
"I call shotgun!" Kira exclaims.
To which Sayaka inwardly curses with "Madodammit! I wanted to ride shotgun."
Everyone minus Athrun and Tails doll has gotten inside the Radiantmobile and started the car. Meanwhile Athrun is still in his rant. "And then the bitches will be all over me. And they'll all be like..."
Stellar honks the cars horn yelling at Athrun. "Athrun, stop sucking your dick or Stellar will leave you here." In a rather commanding voice to which Athrun quickly quiets down and gets in from the back of the van.
While driving down the trail to Planeptune city Sayaka is asked about her reasons for trying to kill Homura. Although it was a question asked several times mainly by Kira who knows little of tact. Sayaka finally breaks down and explains her purpose.
"Well there are three reasons why i'm doing this. One, to rescue Madoka Kaname who is basically our goddess and restore the law of cycles. Two, to make the transfer student pay dearly for betraying Madoka. And three, to save Kyoko-chan."
"Kyoko-chan?" The four heroes query in surprise as Sayaka's normally serious facade crumbled, showing for once a warm smile.
"Kyoko Sakura, a very important person to me. She and I didn't get along at first. As in we tried to kill each other not getting along. But then after some shit happened we started getting along. My only regret in all of this is that when it is all over I have to leave her again." Sayaka frowns at the thought of leaving Kyoko. "I mean who's gonna take care of her once i'm gone? She'll just go back to living in the streets, breaking ATM's to get money, eating junk food all the time." Sayaka then briefly sighs and cheers up a bit while rambling on. "Sure people can be horrible, monstrous pigs. But they can also be pretty swell. Even if they eat enough for five people at dinner."
"You must be close to this Kyoko, Miss Miki." Stellar commented on Sayaka's description.
"Yeah, but that's the way it goes. I traded my soul to heal the hand of a boy I had a crush on, watched as my friend started dating him, fell into despair and died. And now the transfer student wants to cheapen all of that." Sayaka continues on clutching her right fist in anger at the end.
Planeptune city. The largest city in Planeptune and home to 10 million people. A place full of advanced wonders with a futuristic motif to it all. Atop it all lies Neptower a giant tower 128 stories tall at the center of the city that also serves as a space elevator. Planeptune park a place full of greenery and wonder at the cities outskirts. Uptown lies the Basilicom, the seat of power both religious and political and home to the CPU Neptune, the CPU candidate Nepgear, and the Oracle of Planeptune Histoire. And downtown lies many a store including Chuuko's game store where you can buy old videogames and consoles with ease. A land worthy to be the capital of the nation known as the land of purple progress.
Our heroes enter the city with no problem at all. And its a quick drive to Neptower where everyone gets off. "Okay it'll take some time for me to pass the Radiantmobile thru customs. But i'm sure it'll be okay." Athrun explained to the group. "So i'll go get things squared and i'll call you when i'm done." Athrun then leaves for the buildings entrance.
"So now what?" Asked Stellar. "Should we stay or should we go now?"
"What do you mean Stellar?" Also asked Shinn to Stellar.
Which she responded with. "Well there are some sweet shops around the area. And we could get some kick ass souvenirs."
"Mou! I've had enough!" Sayaka exasperated exclaims "I'm tired of waiting for my revenge. I'm sticking around so-"
Unknown to Sayaka and the others in the middle of her rant a meteor was rocketing towards them at breakneck speeds until...
"With a goddamn pig!"
It smashes into the Radiantmobile in the end of Sayaka's rant blowing them all some distance away as the heroes recover and stand up Sayaka looks at the disaster area when a figure comes out of the wreckage and flames. The girl in black with pale skin and red hair summoning a red spear from thin air. Sayaka could only look on in shock and horror as a single phrase passes her lips. "Kyoko-chan is
that you?"
Kyoko Sakura says in an almost robotic tone. "Target, Sayaka Miki. Mission, KILL." And in her normal tone. "So die." Kyoko then lunges towards Sayaka spear first aiming for her navel which is where her soul gem would originally be while transformed. Stellar leaps to save Sayaka knocking both to the ground and barely avoiding Kyoko's lance while Kira and Shinn summoned their respective MA-M21KF twin beam rifles and Arondight buster sword and begin their assault with Kira combining his rifles one behind the other and firing a supercharged beam that successfully slams into Kyoko blasting her into a nearby wall and panicking civilians. But Kyoko is unfazed. Recovering quickly and summoning minions, a troop of eight pale women with long dresses, shields, and flaming candle spears. All with a strange appearance, a completely diferent art style to the anime style of everything else around them.
"Oh crap, she's been blackened!" Shinn angrily comments to the questioning gaze of the others. "Basically she's been corrupted by the power of hate and madness She's stronger and tougher plus her noble phantasm is more powerful. But is slower and with lower charisma.
Kyoko gives the pointer finger to Kira and Shinn and yells out to her familiar minions "Wudan attack!" And the minions lower their spears forward and launch themselves at Kira and Shinn. Kira separates his rifles and begins shooting the Wudan familiars destroying all of them unaware that this was a trap as Kyoko appears behind Kira. Brutally stabbing him in the back. All with a sinister grin in her face.
"NO! Kyoko!" Sayaka yells out transforming into her magical girl outfit.
Only to be held back by Stellar. "No Miss Miki. You can't go out there." Leaving Sayaka stunned and asking why. "Youre our client." Stellar says calmly and maturely as she summons her Griffon 2 knifes which generate beams in the blades in a reverse grip and runs to Kira and Shinn.
"But I can heal people you idiot!" Sayaka once more yells stopping Stellar in her tracks.
Shinn is fighting off Kyoko fiercely matching blow for blow. Until Kyoko separates her spear into a chain whip and begins to whip Shinn weakening him when Stellar flash steps behind Kyoko shanking her.
And Shinn recovering with a smile and leaping in the air landing his try and break up the messbuster sword in Kyoko's gem. "A Puella Magi dies if her soul gem is broken. I'm sorry..." Shinn says as Kyoko goes limp. As he removes his sword and Stellar her knives. Sayaka as well as a revived Kira look on, Sayaka in horror, Kira in relief.
"KYOKO!" Sayaka yells out as she rushes to her. Only for Kyoko to recover, vertically stood up again outstretched her arm and fire off a barrage of snaking red spear shaped energy shots. All of which hit our caught unaware heroes slamming them into the ground, trees, and windows. Thankfully by now the panicking civilians have left. Unthankfully Planeptune's Basilicom guards had appeared to try and break up the mess.
The Planeptune basilicom guards, five men and three women dressed in purple military garb with rounded helmets that hid their faces with a visor that showed a red mono-eye. "This is the basilicom! In the name of Lady Purple Heart freeze criminal scum!" Kyoko merely grinned evilly causing the guards to hesitate for a moment and then quickly struck down six of them leaving only one terrified young man literally shitting his pants at the brutality he just saw. Kyoko mercilessly prepares to plunge her spear into the nameless boy.
Then at the moment of doom, Athrun appears from out of nowhere saving the boy by parrying Kyoko's spear with his Hyper Lacerta beam saber. "Run, if you value your life. Run and don't come back."
The officer ran off, crap falling down all the way. "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FREAKIN CAR?!" He screams out loud as he overpowers Kyoko forcing her to break away.
Shinn who just recovered from kissing the ground yells to Athrun. "It was her! It was her! She dynamic entried your car and proceeded to wreck the place!"
Kira stood up from the tree and readying his beam rifles crossing them together in an x shaped formation when Athrun said "No. I'll handle her"
"You are not worth it." Kyoko says in a robotic tone.
Athrun then rushes Kyoko punhes her in the gut and says. "Then i'll have to make it worth it."
"Don't feel a thing." Kyoko boasts when she is kicked in the crotch by Athrun doing major damage. Then whipping out his Hyper Fortis handgun and shoots her in the face.
At that time in the wrecked window Stellar and Sayaka are looking on with Sayaka visibly depressed and Stellar relieved that they might not just die. "Woohoo! Athrun ex machina! We just might make it out-" Then Stellar looks at Sayaka's despairing face. "Oooh, bloody hell."
And then the familiar ringtone plays of can you feel the sunshine plays out. Stellar picks up her cell phone putting away one of her knives first complaining. "Little busy TD."
"Stellar I see that you're in trouble" Tails doll said annoying Stellar. "Anyways there is a way to save Kyoko from the blackening she is suffering from."
"Sayaka immediately perks up and steals the phone. "Abomination. Talk. Now."And when Stellar came to claim the phone Sayaka screeched at her her like a cat.
Tails doll without missing a beat continues his explanation "Basically you're gonna have to weaken her and then point the phone's screen at Kyoko that way I can use the same spell that restored Sayaka's powers."
"So we wait until Athrun is done with her and then we strike?" Stellar asked Tails doll
Who responded with. "You need to get in close i'm afraid. And Athrun looks like he is gonna murder the girl." And we cut to Athrun browbeating Kyoko with his bare hands with Kira puking badly and Shinn chanting Athrun's name while viewing the carnage. "See what I mean?"
Stellar and Sayaka quickly depart to break up the ass kicking "All right that's enough Athrun!" Stellar tells him as he tries to yank him off while he is growling and snarling.
"This is why." Tails doll loudly declares as Sayaka points the cell phone at the battered and swollen Kyoko as Tails doll dramatically chants the magic words. "Can you feeeel the sunshineeee? Does it brighten up your daaaaayyy? Dont you feeel like sometimes. You just neeeed to ruuuunn AWAY!" And then after the loud yell a massive kamehamehadoken of a beam fires out of the phone covering Kyoko and after a short time sending Sayaka flying. Fortunately the beam had done its job by then. Restoring Kyoko to her previous form. A normal toned girl with a black ribbon tying her ponytail, red sleeveless longcoat,
black pants with a pink skirt, red boots and pale red arm sleeves. But lacking her soul gem much like Sayaka.
"Where am I? What happened to me? Kyoko groggily asked our heroes before hearing her stomach growl. "I'm hungry. I don't suppose you could feed me?" Our heroes are clearly stumped at the change at their enemy.
And then Kyoko gets up she is tackled from the back by Sayaka as she joyfully holds her causing the duo to trip and fall. "Kyoko-chan!"
"Hey let go you idiot!" Kyoko yells at Sayaka when Kyoko is forced to quiet down when Sayaka begins crying on her shoulder "Its fine Sayaka-chan." Kyoko comforts Sayaka by patting her head. "I vaguely remember trying to kill you."
"Its alright let's get you some food." Sayaka says happily to a drooling and smiling Kyoko.
"Hey that girl wrecked my car! I demand retribution!" Athrun complains and yells as he is being held by Stellar.
"Nope she's coming with us." Sayaka says as she and Kyoko got up and much to the latters surprise.
"SHE. WRECKED. MY. CAR." Athrun bitched back.
"Lay a finger on her and I. Won't. Pay. You." Sayaka threatened which finally caused Athrun to back off.
And then an army of Planeptune's armed forces came in surrounding our heroes rifles brandished to capture them. "Freeze criminals in the name of Lady Purple Heart you're all under arrest!"
"I'll defuse this situation." Athrun told everyone as he stepped forward with his hands up. "Greetings from Canada! We are so grateful that you came to save us from those brutes. And-" Athrun gets shot several times with stun beams until he lies flat on the floor.
Kyoko gets into a battle position with her spear saying "We can take em." Only for her stomach to growl, spear to lower, and get shot several dozen times yelling. "Screw this i'm starving!" Before passing out. The rest of our heroes are soon under arrest.
Unknown to them Tails doll is still watching the whole situation in his attic when a mirror behind him starts glowing. "Its you old friend."
"I see that the seeds have been scattered." Tails doll's friend enigmatically commented.
"Yes Bowman, still is it wise not to tell them. After all even with the training they are still going up against a goddess." Tails doll complains to Bowman.
Bowman simply sighs and says. "It is for the trials that are yet to come. Sadly the puncher is a necessary evil. So is the Organization."
"But he is crafty alongside Master Xenahort. If he finds out who you are." Tails doll warns his friend.
Whom simply states. "Then I'll just be careful." And shuts off communications leaving the mirror dark.
To be continued...
Zakostation
"Welcome one and all to Zakostation i'm your host SD Zako" Zako says with the closest equivalent of a smile for a Zako.
"And i'm the goddamn Tails doll. Its great to be here."
"And so TD, what about this protagonist power training?" Zako asks while ribbing Tails doll "Can I do it too?"
"Not particularly." Tails doll bluntly tells Zako which leaves him white with shock. "Proagonist power is limited to a select few. Anyways you need to wear giant turtle shells, dodge meteors and lightning, punch demons, dig for water, clean toilets, and much more."
"So what sensei? Give me a chance I won't let you down! Zako says recovering from his rejection rather quickly. Annoyed Tails doll relents.
(Ten minutes later...)
SD Zako is now pale with shock and in the fetal position murmuring. "Please do the preview."
The reckoning day for Sayaka has arrived after many setbacks and diversions the battle with Homura Akemi is here. But something else in the background stirs. And the self proclaimed devil might just be the least of our heroes problems. Next time Radiant ZAFT GX episode 5: The revenge story. Don't forget to like and subscribe.
