The Hartman Chronicles Season 2 Chapter 16

"Thank goodness she's alright!" Daichi smiled and got to his feet, "Fudge, you were awesome!"

Fudge smiled and hugged him. He smiled and hugged her back.

"Fudge has a boyfriend!" I laughed and demorphed.

"Oh be quiet" Fudge laughed with a newfound joy.

"Never," I smiled, "Although I will leave you two be. I need to get back to making treats at the café."

"Yeah you better," Fudge smiled.

I nodded and looked at the wall of pictures. I noticed one that was of Momo and me kissing.

"You don't mind if I take that picture?" I asked, pointing to the picture.

Daichi shook his head, "No I don't mind."

I went over to the wall and pulled the picture from it, "Thanks dude!"

"No problem! See ya!"

"Bye!" I yelled and ran out the door. Several minutes later, I came to the café and took a seat at one of the tables. Momo walked onto the scene and smiled at me.

"Hey Honey," She giggled.

"Hey there," I laughed, "How are you today?"

"I'm great!" Momo smiled, "Thanks for walking me home last night."

"Speaking of home," I said, "Do you have parents?"

Momo sighed, "Do you want me to get into that?"

I nodded, "I'll tell you about my parents first."

"Fire away,"

"My dad was killed in a street fighting accident and my mom died in a car crash."

Momo nodded, "My parents died in a car crash."

"So what was that house we went to?"

"My foster family's home."

"I see, so I guess we have even more things in common."

"Yeah, no wonder we get along so well."

Tiramisu and Andrew walked into the café.

"Hey there guys!" Andrew smiled, "Guess what!"

"What?" Momo asked.

"I'm throwing a party and you all are invited!"

"That's great!"

I nodded, "Yeah, so when is the party?"

"Tonight? I mean it is a Friday and all."

"That sounds fantastic Andrew!" Tiramisu smiled.

Calvin came up from the basement.

"What is this about a party?"

"I'm going to be having a party and all you guys are invited!" Andrew cheered.

"Uh, We've only know each other for a week." Calvin said, "Or are you that desperate?"

"Hey I've never really had a group of people to hang around with. I'm been lonely for more years than you could count!"

"Whatever, where and when?"

"Tonight, my place at nine-thirty, I'll text you all the location of my house."

"Sounds good, I can't wait!"

"Wait a second, How did you get our phone numbers?" Calvin asked.

"Uh…" Andrew seemed lost for words, "Ryou told me!"

Calvin whipped out a gun and put it at Andrew's head, "I swear to god if this is some kind of trap, you're a dead man!"

"Trust me! This isn't any kind of trap! Scouts honor!" Andrew panicked.

I got up and headed to the kitchen.

"Hey Adrian," Momo said, "Do you mind if I cook with you?"

"Sure I don't mind, what made you want to do that all of a sudden?"

"I just feel like cooking,"

"Follow me then,"

Momo and I went into the kitchen and began to make treats.

"You seem to be a natural at this!" I commented.

"Thanks Adrian," Momo smiled and went back to work.

Night began to fall on Tokyo.

"I'm so excited for the party tonight!" Momo exclaimed.

"Yeah, it might be fun."

"Might be?"

"Well this is Andrew's first time holding a party so he might slip up."

"Maybe, do you have his address?"

I pulled out my cell phone, "I got it right here."

Momo nodded and the street lamps by the café turned on. I looked at my watch.

"Well it is nine o'clock right now, we should get ready."

"Yeah, just text me the address and I'll see you at the party!"

"Bye for now!" I said as I sent the text containing the address to Momo. Come to think of it, I thought, I might need to get dressed. Then again, this café outfit is the nicest suit I have. I sighed and headed for the house. After several minutes of walking, I came to a huge mansion.

"Andrew lives here?" I asked myself. "This is a pretty nice place."

I knocked on the door. Andrew came up and opened it.

"Where is your butler?" I asked.

"No use in getting someone else to do something I can easily do myself," Andrew said, "Say, why are you in your café uniform?"

I rolled my eyes, "This is the only nice piece of clothing I had."

"I see, well you're free to look around the place."

"I think I'll do so," I nodded and headed down some stairs. I began to walk down a long hallway. This is odd, I thought, First this guy invites us over to a party and now he's letting us walk around the house unattended? When I got to the end of the hall there was a huge metal door and I decided to open it. On the other side of the door there was library. In the center was a holy cross with a rock circle around it.

"Odd," I said and investigated the circle. I noticed something sticking out from the cross. It was a tape recorder. I picked it up and pressed a button.

"Alright," Andrew's voice said, "I have no other choice," He took a deep breath; "I have to burn Lisa's house down. Yes I know she was going to go to Tokyo anyways but if we wait for her to come to Tokyo, Grant will have already killed the Mew Mews. Neither I nor the demon can let the destruction of the Mew Mews come about! We need them to save the world! May God have mercy on my soul, Andrew out."

I gritted my teeth, so this little punk was the one who caused all the pain and suffering Lisa had to endure! I saw another thing coming out of the ground. I dug it up to find another tape recorder."

"Andrew here," The tape recorder said, "Today I've made sure two things happened. One, I led Harume to Nashi. This caused a chain of events that helped Nashi learn her second technique, had she not, the Mew Mews would have been killed! I only hope that Nashi can handle herself." There was a pause, "You know what, I think it is better that I check on her. See you soon! Andrew out."

"So this was the guy who caused that incident! I should have known!"

I spotted another tape recorder and pulled it out of the dirt.

"Andrew here," The tape recorder spat out, "Look I know this is cruel of me, but I over heard Adrian, Momo, Calvin, and Abbie's conversation about going to the beach tonight. Tonight was the night Abbie was supposed to learn her second move. I know Grant is going to come and try to wreck this place for no good reason. I think I'll send him to where the two couples are."

"That little…" I growled, "He's been planning this the whole time hasn't he!"

I saw a white slip of paper sticking out from the ground. I picked it up; it was the invitation to the street fighting tournament that got me into this mess! I flipped it over and read a message on the back.

Dear Adrian,

I'm sorry to tell you this but the street fighting tournament invitation you got is not legit. I had to get you here and at the park at that exact same time. Now that I think about it, that date on the invitation was a week early. Good thing you got here a week early then!

P.S. The fruit vendor is still afraid of you, next time you deal with someone, tone it down a notch okay?

I crumpled the piece of paper in my hand and heard someone walk in.

"So you found out huh?" Andrew's voice said, "Good, I was hoping you would, that is why everything was so unorganized."

"You monster," I snarled and whipped around, "You monster!"

"The ends justify the means!" Andrew roared.

"So you would rather kill people's parents or ruin their life just so you could have your way?" I screamed in anger, "I'll kill you where you stand!"

I lunged at Andrew and landed a knee blow to his stomach. I followed with a snap kick to his face. He flew into the door but got up and ran at me. I rolled out of the way and landed a blow to his back.

"Not so tough when you actually have to fight man to man!" I spat. "You coward!"

"Adrian! I did everything for the betterment of mankind!"

I ran up to him and tried to punch him in the face, but Andrew grabbed my hand and landed several punches to my stomach. As I cringed he took the opportunity to round house kick me in the face. I flew into one of the library's bookshelves, but quickly got up and flew towards Andrew, landed a punch to his chest, and followed with an uppercut.

"I'm on your side Adrian!" Andrew yelled

"Oh yeah?" I spat, "I don't like murderers on my team!"

Andrew attacked with one kick to my side and another across my face. I spun around a few times before hitting the ground again. After getting up, I slammed my fists together, letting out a tiger roar at the same time, and went into my Mew form.

"Alright let's see how tough you are now!" I yelled and ran toward Andrew, a cold wind enveloping my fist. "Siberian," I growl and punched Andrew in the stomach. I followed with a blow to his jaw, letting the sounds of crackling molars echo throughout the room. "Uppercut!" I rose into the air as a cold wind spun around me. Andrew flew into the air and hit the floor with a loud thud.

"Two can play at that game!" Andrew smiled.

"You're not a Mew Mew," I said. "I don't think non-Mew Mews have the ability to magically turn into a Mew Mew."

Two bat-like wings sprouted from Andrew's back and his body was consumed by grey fire. When the fire disappeared, Andrew had lost his shirt. Instead he now had grey skin, blue hair, two double bladed, green glaives.

"You can't be!" I exclaimed.

"Oh yes I can!" Andrew laughed with a sinister look in his eye. I let down my guard and hoped that it wouldn't be a mistake that I was soon going to regret.
