o3o... I really should work on Together...
Disclaimer: I do NOT own +Anima! AT ALL!
"It's dark down there..." Cooro mumbled, looking past the doorway.
"Yeah, and that's why you're going down there." Ninja Guy stood next to Cooro, looking down the staircase.
Cooro jumped, a nervous anime-style look on his face. "You want me to go down there?" The crow +Anima shuddered.
Ninja Guy sighed. "Yeah, now go." He barked. Before Cooro had time to react and step back in fear, Ninja Guy's foot came in contact with his spine, propelling the boy forward into the large, dark, underground room. With a yell of dismay, Cooro flew through the air for half a second, then bounced off a stone step on his head painfully, a tiny amount of blood went flying, then the poor boy was sent skidding across the floor.
"Uwaahhh! That hurt!" The small boy sobbed, clutching the top of his head with his hands, chibi tears running an exaggerated river down his face.
Without even asking if he was okay, Ninja Guy slammed the door violently, filling the basement with a short roar.
Cooro's head throbbed, as he gingerly touched the spot where he hit it on the cold, damp cement. It stung like a bee sting when he touched it, and when he brought his fingers back down to inspect the damage, he saw crimson stained onto his fingers, as if by magic. Cooro looked at the blood for a moment longer before little tears began forming in his eyes, he didn't want to cry, but he couldn't help it, involuntarily, he began to wail like a newborn child.
Almost as soon as it had started, Cooro stopped himself, repeating over and over in his head to be strong. The young boy opened his eyes and looked around, it was almost pitch black, the only light in the room by the bottom of the doorway at the entrance, giving the basement a very, very, dim glow.
Muffled words of casual conversation were exchanged outside the door, and the light was interrupted as feet blocked it, and opened the door. Cooro sat up and looked at them fearfully, the blood from bonking his head on the stair beginning to trail down the side of his head, then run down his chin and drip off.
"We're going to see how you use your wings in self-defense, now." Gates sat down on the bottom step with a slight sadistic look on his face. Small-Eyes, all bandaged from the cuts and wounds from Senri, and an additional psuedo +Anima walking in behind him, with rough, ugly skin and a long snout lined with sharp teeth. A crocodile.
As the two fake +Anima stepped down the stairs, glaring at Cooro hungrily, as if they weren't even human anymore. The small boy gulped and looked at Gates worriedly. "Self-defense-GWAH!" Cooro shouted out as he jumped back, just barely avoiding a snap from the crocodile.
Cooro stepped back fearfully, his eyes locked on the reptilian creature glaring at him, a hunger for action, Cooro's eyes were so intent on the crocodile, he didn't notice a furry being slip by them.
As Cooro kept stepping back, he finally bumped into something. Knowing what it was almost instantly, his wings shot out so fast you could barely see them. Then he slammed down hard, lifting his light body into the stale air. However, once he reached about sic feet into the air, he was yanked down onto his back when Small-Eyes' jaws closed around his foot, thus using the momentum to slam the boy onto the ground.
"Owie! Stop it!" He sobbed, his head throbbing and bleeding from hitting the floor. Cooro's wings stretched out beside him, and the crocodile snapped at his them, and the small crow +Anima pulled them away, but not before getting a few black feathers bitten out, sending a sharp sting jolting through his body.
Cooro crawled back, trying to get distance between him and the fake +Anima. Gates was watching intently, writing down notes on a small notepad.
The crow stood up quickly, snapping his wings down and up in a swift manner, determined to get away. Below him, the two fake +Anima were snapping and trying to jump up and grab at the boy.
The small boy continued to hover in the air, flying a few feet in several directions, but Small-Eyes and Ninja Guy would be right under him the entire way.
Cooro bit his bottom lip, trying to think. He couldn't fly forever. What should he do? Without even realizing, the crow was very, very slowly floating down, his wings beating slower. Until he let out a cry when He felt sharp jaws crunch into his foot and pull him down from the air again, Cooro yelped as he landed on the cement floor on his side, his head wound pulshing through his head painfully.
He looked above him, and saw Small-Eyes and Ninja Guy standing above him. Small-Eyes' paw was raised above Cooro's face, the claws protruding out to their full potential. The small boy stared at the claws that were about to tear his face open.
Then the fake +Anima brought down his paw swiftly, no intention of mercy.
Short, but pretty decent, huh? *curious happy face*
