The Hartman Chronicles Season 2 Chapter 2
"We should tell Ryou about this" Momo said as the chimera anima we just fought turned into an 18 year old girl
Lavender nodded in agreement
"That was awesome!" Kyoto cheered "I'm going to love this!"
I laughed and we all demorphed. I then beckoned for the others to follow. They nodded and we soon were on our way back to the café. I looked at Kyoto, I laughed again.
"What was that for?" Kyoto asked
"Oh nothing" I replied "I was just thinking about something"
Momo then walked up to me and kissed me "You did great sweetie"
I kissed her back "You did well too"
"You two are going out?" Kyoto asked
"Yeah" Momo said "What's it too ya?"
"Last I heard Mew Adrian didn't have a girlfriend"
"Mew Adrian?" Momo said "I thought it was Mew Tigerchest"
"I don't have a Mew name" I said "It's just Adrian"
Momo chuckled "But Mew Adrian fits you so well"
I laughed "Yeah it might but I don't want to use it"
Momo smiled and nuzzled me. I put my head on her shoulder.
"That's so cute!" Kyoto cheered "I think that is what Kou and I will be like when we get to high school!"
I laughed "You never know"
Kyoto then paused for a second "Should I tell him about me becoming a Mew Mew?"
"I don't know" I said "How do you think he'll take the news?"
"Well he's a very easy going kind of guy." Kyoto thought for a second, "I think he'll take it well! I'll tell him tomorrow at the café!"
"Sounds good to me" I said as we approached the café. When we opened the doors, Ryou stood there holding a French maid outfit. It was Kyoto's sized and had a red color on the chest but had a light green skirt.
Kyoto squealed with glee "It's so cute! I'm going to but it on right now!"
"Good thing this is yours" Ryou said, as Kyoto ran over to the uniform, snatched it up, and ran into the dressing room. She quickly emerged with the uniform on and she let out another happy squeal.
"What do you guys think?" She asked
"I think it looks nice" Momo said
"Same here" Lavender said
"I agree with Momo and Lavender" Ryou said
Everyone then looked at me. I was a guy who grew up on the streets of Brooklyn. What could I know about good looks, now if it was does this dress make me look slutty I could easily talk about that.
"I plead the fifth" I said
"Plead the fifth?" Ryou asked
"Yes I believe it is the Fifth Amendment to the American Constitution which basically says that I can refrain from saying anything" I said
Ryou gave me the do-it-or-else look.
"Alright it doesn't make you look like a slut" I said
Ryou and the girls looked at me like I was crazy. The four of them burst out into laughter.
"What's so funny?" I asked
"It was just so random" Ryou said "Was the really all you could say?"
"When you grow up in the ghetto you tend to focus more on how can I get to school and back without getting killed in a drive by" I said
The girls soon stopped laughing and went to their duties in the café. I went back to the kitchen and began to cook as well. When the customers started to come in again I decided to go outside and walk around for a bit. I then caught wind of a conversation between to women.
"So did you hear about the new company that opened a branch in Tokyo six months ago?" One said
"Ocean Depths right?" The other said
"Yeah, it's one environmental corporations. You know ones who do research on ways we can reduce harm to the environment" The first one said
"That's so cool!" The second one said
"Yeah" The first one said. The conversation then became usual girl talk so I stopped listening. I then went to the kitchen.
"Odd, six months ago was when we defeated Zerius" I thought for a second "But the Chimera attacks didn't stop…"
I began to think for a good, long while. That was until Ryou voice yelled "Closing time!"
I then snapped to attention and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hey Ryou" I asked "Do you mind if I take a walk?"
"Don't mind if I do" Ryou said
"Alright I'll try and be back soon" I said as I headed out the door.
I then headed outside and began to think some more. Night began to fall as Tokyo's streets were lit up with various street lights. As I turned a corner for the fifth time I came to a pound. As I walked past it, I heard a gun shot ring out from the pound. I jumped and decided to check the thing out. The least I could do was catch the murderer. I walked into the pound and saw a scientist. He had a long black lab coat, black jeans, and black shoes. He had pale white skin and black hair that went to his shoulders. He looked like he was about twenty-three years old. He was pointing an old Fashion two shot revolver at the girl, who looked a little bit like Temari from Naruto, minus the hair buns on the top. Also her hair buns on the bottom weren't tied, they were straight. She had white skin, and sky blue eyes. She looked about fifteen. She was wearing a white shirt with a blue trim and blue jeans which had a part of them ripped, possibly due to some kind of gun shot.
"For god sakes!" The girl said with a southern twang "I told you I'm not a Mew Mew!"
"Oh really?" The scientist laughed "Then I guess I'll have to find out after your dead!"
"Get out of here before I call the cops!" The girl exclaimed
"I can easily kill you before you even reach the phone" The scientist laughed "Now let me take a blood sample!"
"No! Had you not stormed in here, demanding that I give my blood I might have actually complied!" The girl barked
"Doesn't matter, give your blood or I'll have to kill you" The scientist laughed sadistically
The girl sighed "Fine"
The scientist laughed and put away his gun, he then drew a syringe and began to walk toward the girl. I sprung into action. I snuck up to him and pick pocketed his revolver. The girl saw me do this and as he got closer she slapped him across the face. The scientist then went for his gun.
"You really want to die don't you!" The scientist roared, he then looked at his pocket and realized the gun was gone.
"Turn around" I said
The scientist turned around and saw that he was at the end of a gun barrel.
"Please sir!" He exclaimed "Don't kill me! Please!"
"Answer a few questions and I might consider letting you go" I said
"Alright!" The scientist said "I'll do anything!"
"First question" I said "Why are you here?"
"I was just sent to obtain blood for an experiment my boss wanted me to work on!" The scientist cried
"Alright who do you work for?" I asked
"Ocean Depths" The scientist responded
I paused for a second "Does ocean depths have an association with the alien attacks that have been happening ever since the invasion of Tokyo?"
"No sir!" The scientist said "How could you even come to that conclusion!"
I nodded and motioned for him to leave. As the scientist passed me he drew his syringe.
"Scum like you is the reason I, Grant Mildon, should rule the entire human race!" The scientist laughed as he jabbed the syringe into me, taking a blood sample "Thank you for helping me bring out my vision!"
The scientist then made a break for the door. I whipped around and shot him. The scientist dodged it easily, but dropped the syringe in the process. The syringe hit the ground and shattered into several pieces.
"Damn it" The scientist muttered under his breath "An unfortunate set back"
The scientist then dashed out the door with super human speed. The girl then walked up to me.
"What do you think you were doing?" She yelled
"Saving your life" I said
"Why did you even come here?" The girl asked, scornfully
"I came here because I heard a gun shot" I said
The girl sighed and turned around.
"So did he ask you if you were a Mew Mew?" I said
"Yes, but we all know that the Mew Mews already have all their members" The girl said
"Really?" I said "You sure?"
"Positive" The girl said
"May I have a look at your leg?" I asked
"Don't you have to stop your bleeding first?" The girl said "Since you got stuck with a syringe?"
"Good Idea" I said "Where are the band-aids?"
The girl went behind a counter and pulled out a small first aid kit
"Here" She said as she gave me a band-aid. I took off my skirt revealing my Mew mark. The girl looked at me strangely "What I that on your chest?"
"It's a birthmark" I said
"It looks strangely like the one that guy Mew Mew has" The girl responded
"I get that a lot" I said "Now could you put the band-aid on my back"
The girl sighed "Seeing as you can't reach it"
She then walked behind me and put the band-aid on me.
"Now may I see your leg?" I asked
"I don't know why you'd want to be okay" The girl said as she picked up her leg. There on her leg was a small bone-shaped birthmark.
"Hey can I make a bet with you?" I asked
The girl seemed intrigued "Alright what is it?"
"I bet you one thousand yen that you're a Mew Mew" I said
The girl rolled her eyes and laughed "Alright you're on"
I then put my shirt back on "Alright then, follow me"
The girl sighed and we soon started for the café. I tried numerous times to start a conversation but she kept saying things like Shut up or I don't want to talk. I sighed as we got to the café. I opened the door.
"Ryou!" I yelled "We've got a new Mew Mew!"
Ryou made his way to the door and looked at the girl.
"You sure?" He asked
I pointed to her leg; Ryou looked down there and saw the mark as well.
"Alright then, this way please" Ryou said
The girl looked at me and Ryou like we were crazy and was just about to leave.
"If you leave now you won't get that one thousand yen" I said
The girl sighed and followed us to the back room. Ryou motioned for her to stand in front of a machine the girl took her place as I stood right by Ryou. Ryou then pulled a lever and a red beam shot out of it. It hit the girl and she went into a trance. I started to black out too. The next thing I knew I was staring at a huge plantation house in what was probably rural Texas. There I saw the girl staring at the steps of the house. A golden huskey was on the steps.
"Dixie?" The girl said "Dixie is that you?"
The dog got up and ran toward the girl. It licked her face.
"Oh Dixie! I thought you were dead!" The girl said "I saw you dead myself"
The dog barked "What do you mean you went to the Astral Plane…what is the Astral Plane anyways?"
The dog barked again
"Wait a second, you don't mean" The dogs barking cut the girl off "I am?"
The dog nodded and wagged its tail, it barked again
The girl nodded "Alright Dixie, do your stuff!"
The golden husky then jumped into the stomach of the girl and I suddenly found myself in the real world. I held my head. The girl came out of her trance too.
"Well I guess I owe you one thousand yen" The girl said
"Just tell me a little bit about yourself and we'll be good" I said
The girl nodded "The name is Lisa Goldmen, I'm from the rural areas of southern Texas. My parents used to be rich plantation owners. Some things happened and I wound up here, working at a dog pound."
"What happened?" I asked
Lisa snapped at me "I can't tell you alright!"
"Okay, Okay" I said "I'm sorry. The names Adrian Hartman and I'm from the ghettos of Brooklyn, New York. I came here for a street fighting tournament but I winded up becoming a Mew Mew"
"Just so you know you'll be working here from now on" Ryou said
"Fine" Lisa sighed, soon an alarm went off. Lisa covered her ears.
"What is that?" She asked
"Chimera attack alarm" Ryou said as he pulled out a PDA, he then checked it "Looks like there is an attack at a pound a few miles from here"
"That is where I work!" Lisa exclaimed
"They must have come back for you" I said
Ryou looked at us "You two go now!"
I nodded and Lisa followed me. I tried to start a conversation again but I got the same results as last time. We then came to the pound. There a huge, three headed dog was tearing up the place.
I slammed my fists together and said "Well then, let's begin"
I then went into my Mew form.
"So you are Mew Adrian" Lisa said "I should've known!"
The three headed dog looked at us a dashed toward us. I ran towards it as well and landed a blow to its nose. A cold wind then swarmed around my left fist. I then slammed my right fist into the
dog's stomach.
"Siberian" I said as I landed an uppercut to the chin of its middle face, I then held it there as the dogs molars cracked "Uppercut!"
I then rose into the air as a cold wind swarmed around me. The dog flinched from the blow and then pinned me down.
"Lisa!" I yelled "Transform!"
"How?" Lisa yelled back, All of a sudden I heard the words "Nightwolf Scattershot!"
I then heard a shot gun go off and the dog was thrown off me. I looked in the direction the sound had come from. There a male with brown wolf ears and a brown, bushy wolf tail along with green eyes and dark brown, unkempt hair. He had on a grey, leather shirt that resembled a wolf's hide with nothing under it. He also had grey leather pants that also resembled a wolf hide. Hi shoes were grey as well with a claw marks on them. He also had on a wolf tooth necklace.
"Thanks" I said
Lisa then looked at the wolf neko, then at me.
"Mew Lemon Metamorphosis!" She exclaimed.
Golden Husky ears shot out from her head and a golden husk tail shot from her behind. Her clothes changed to a medium tint of blue. The clothes then formed a mini gown that went from the middle of Lisa's thighs and stopped in the middle of Lisa's breasts, leaving the top region of her woman parts exposed. Blue gloves then appeared on both her hands and the ends of the gloves soon extended to her elbows. She then gained a blue collar with dark blue fluff. As well as an armband around the middle of her bicep; it looked just like the collar. Finally her shoes became the same tint as her "gown" and then shot up to a few inches above her knees. A dark blue trimming then appeared on her clothes. A microphone then appeared; it had a yellow handle with a sky blue heart that had dark blue ribbons, the ends of the microphone where a light blue and at the bottom end of the microphone was a small, golden husky tail. Lisa held the microphone up to her mouth.
"Sour Lemon Howl!" She said as she then howled into the microphone. A sound was emanated from the mic and it hit the dog with surprising force. The three headed dog howled in pain and soon glowed white. It split into three puppies.
I then looked at the wolf neko. He seemed to read my mind.
"No I am not joining your team, I work better along" The wolf neko snapped "And call me Nightwolf"
I nodded and Nightwolf soon bounded off.
"Well I did it!" Lisa said as she and I demorphed "I'll have to admit that was cool"
I nodded "Yeah it was"
"If you excuse me I need to get to my apartment now" She said as she began to walk off "See you tomorrow
I nodded "See ya"
I then began to walk back to the café. There was so much to think about now. Who could the other Mew Mews be? Who is Nightwolf? Is Ocean Depths behind this? And if we squeeze olives to get olive oil, how do we obtain baby oil?
I shook my head and sighed "So many things to think about and so little time to do it"
