Chapter Thirteen
"Shit what are we going to do." Joan responded, as Chiro went hunting through the desks of the classroom looking for flashlights.
"I don't know." Chiro said frantically, what worried him was not a single student or teacher came to see them. Or what was the fact Sakura hadn't arrived.
Getsu stared around the darken room it felt like night time even though it was going into early evening. A streak of lighting ran across the window, and lit the room for a second.
"Ahah!" Chiro veered as he pulled out two flashlights, he check the solar panels on them. "Mmm looks like they have been in the desk for a bit, but let's check…" He hit the light a few times with his palm as a light streaked into the room; it was weak a light yellow.
He handed over the other flashlight to Joan who tapped it once and a bright streak suddenly hit Getus's eyes causing her to stumble back into the supply closet.
"God Joan watch where you wave that fucking thing." She complained as the door suddenly creaked open. A shilloute of a figure suddenly appeared behind her.
"Getsu look behind you!" Joan shouted.
Getsu looked confused. "What are you talking about-ahhhh!" Suddenly something pushed up against her. She leaped out of the way crashing into the side of the lab table, she reacted with a swift kick to the figures side. A loud grunt was heard and the person fell to the ground.
Joan ran over grabbing Getsu throwing her out of the way as Chrio grabbed her pulling her close. Shinning on light on the person, it appeared to be a male a year or so older than them. The person was tanned skinned with dark curly waved hair.
"Hey! Wait!" Getsu said getting away from Chiro and pushing Joan aside, "I know this person…" She responded rolling the person on their back she notice the nasty black eye and dried blood from the top of his hair.
The man's eyes fluttered open gold eyes staring directly into her green ones.
"Who the fuck is it!" Ricky shouted across from the room.
Getsu turned to look at him. "I figured you guys would recognize him you tried stealing from him earlier yesterday." As ripped the duct- tape off his mouth. The guy's eyes widened and he shot up putting his hands on his mouth tears streaming down.
"Oops sorry about that…." Getsu said standing up sticking her hand out, which the person gladly accepted.
"You were the one with Sailor Jupiter weren't you and that other girl?" Getsu asked as the man's familiar face hit the dim light of the flashlight.
He rubbed his mouth furiously between words. "Ugh yeah...I recognized your voice… I was wondering how long it would take you guys to hear my noises." The man looked over at Joan and Ricky who gave him suspicious looks.
The man grunted. "Hi Rodric." He said sticking his hand out to the less suspicious other one which was Chiro.
CHiro took it slowly at first then with dawning realization much faster. "Oh my god you are part of the tech group at CTU oh my gosh… oh my gosh!"
Getsu looked confused for a moment. "Chiro can you stop being a fan girl for a minute we have to…wait you do tech." Pointing at what she considered a pretty boy, the rest of what she was going to say gone.
Rodric turned to her smirking. "Brains and beauty."
Getsu shook her head. "If you're here does that mean…"
Rodric frowned looking at her nodding. "Yeah that means the others are here too…" Chiro could hear the seriousness under that smooth French accent.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?" Ricky boomed across the room.
They all turned to him as Rodric sighed rubbing his chin back and forth slowly. "It means something big is at work if my family has been taken." Rodric said flatly.
He picked up what looked like a mop and snapped it in half with his knee. He stood back from everyone and with very quick skill he spun it between his fingers long piece of wood with the sharp end, he swung it around a couple of times.
Getsu watched impressed. Rodric straighten himself, looking around the room. "It means what is crawling out there now is no longer friend or anything get a weapon protect yourself." He pushed open the door.
"No fucking way am I risking my life for you putz!" Ricky spat on the floor.
"You don't have too…but you want to get out of here right?" He turned to them as Joan picked up a wood stick with a sharp tip from the stool smashed on his back, nodding handing a smaller one to Ricky.
"Agreed once we find the nearest exit you guys are on your own." Joan said flatly giving Ricky a stern look who shuffled his feet, but seemed to agree.
Getsu and Chiro had two flashlights working as lighting streaked across the classroom window.
"Come on let's find the others." He reached for Getsu's flashlight and yanked it out of her hands.
"You're more of danger holding this than I am with a stick." He said simply walking out the door.
Getsu stared at him, but followed his lead, ignoring the others inquiring looks in her direction.
(…)
Aya groaned her head spinning as felt something cool against her cheek, it was dark. On unsteady feet she waved her hands in the air. Feeling something stern and smooth she gripped tightly onto it and got herself up properly. On her feet, she felt like jello all over. Rubbing her neck as annoying red rash was there from the shot she was injected with.
Feeling around for a light switch, when she felt it she flicked it back and forth a few times grunting.
No light, fucking great.
Suddenly a banging sound came out from nowhere. Aya felt herself jump her heart racing. She looked around frantic looking around in the dark; a streak of lighting came out from the small window crack above her. She saw three darkly painted green stalls.
Another banging sound, coming from the stall at the left end.
Aya took a deep breathe her fist clenched ready to take down whoever came out those freaky gang teens or the boogeyman. Each time the lightening streaked over head the light from her hand to the banging moving door, seemed in stop motion.
She turned the knob and in a furry she swung it open. A body fell on top of her as she screamed falling to the ground. Hitting her head hard against the sink before falling hard on her back from the small bathroom.
Dizzy and gathering her vision she felt the person moving on top of her more like struggling really. Suddenly Carmel skinned and deeply black curls were shown and the intense indigo eyes, from the streaks of lighting.
"Shelia-san!" Aya shouted in relief. The girl was bound and gagged. Aya gently rolled her off and worked on her mouth gag first, as Shelia happily spit it from her mouth.
"I'm assuming this isn't a prank by you or else you wouldn't be as bad as me…" Shelia grunted, as her hands were brought free, sitting up rubbing her wrist.
"No sorry…big guys came at you right?" Aya said simply.
Shelia just nodded. "The guys buddy got me from behind…what are we doing here where are we?"
Aya looked at her, in the darkness singing. "I think a school."
"Hmmm something isn't right in my gut I feel a horrible dark energy and another too sharp a bitter like a sour candy on my tongue waving through the sick feeling." Shelia said as she stood up.
Aya nodded standing up. Aya almost forgot Shelia had deep strong spiritual connections like her mentor.
"What do you feel Shelia?"
Shelia looked at her grim. "Death Aya I think I feel death, but I can't explain the other, but it started off small, but the taste is getting stronger each second…and-" Shelia cut herself off as the bathroom door swung open. Aya turned around to see a flashlight hit them blinding them.
"Oh god its people…please you have to help me." The female voice hit their ears.
"Please…" The person collapsed to the floor the light falling out of her hand rolling to Aya as she picked it up.
She put the flashlight on the girl, she saw the familiar face pale and eyes sunken in something that looked like blood, coming out from her white shirt.
Aya and Shelia ran over. Kneeling down Aya checked her pulse. "She is still kicking." Aya brought the flashlight up to the shoulder area of her right side, as Shelia placed the girls head in her lap upright so her face was looking at the ceiling.
Aya carefully yanked down the shirt. A soft cry escaped as she put a hand over her mouth.
A horrible wound like someone took a bite from her flesh was pouring blood, but blackness seemed to ooze out, and move into her veins. They were bulging out of her skin throbbing.
"I know this girl Shelia…." Aya said softly. "She was supposed to do a report on me for a school she went too….Ah! Oh no…" Shelia looked up when Aya stopped talking confusion hitting her face.
"We have to get this girl out of here we have to get a hold of our mentors…somehow…" Aya stood up crouching down. Putting the girl's arm around her shoulder, Shelia seemed to do the same.
"On three…one…two..thre-" She cut herself off with a huff, as her and Shelia hefted the girl up getting her on her feet as well as their own.
"Come on Shelia I'll explain everything, but we need to get out of here…."
(….)
Chiro walked a little behind Getsu and the awesome Amore, Rodric, he had so many questions. Like how on earth did Getsu know this guy?
"Hey!" The big blue hair guy shouted Ricky was his name. "We near an exit yet!?"
"Will you shut the hell up and keep your voice down!" Getsu turned to him hissing under her breathe.
"The last thing I need is to be here right now." Ricky's annoyance hit Chiro's ears.
"The last thing you need to do is get killed…." Rodric said flatly, as the others looked at him.
Killed? Chiro thought
Ricky growled then through his stick on the ground. "The only reason I'm in this mess is because Boss…no Joan." He seethed looking at his former boss like he said some awful word. "Is because he wanted to warn poor Getsu…it's all her fault she is freak she always has been."
Chiro listened, for a few moments before he gripped his flashlight. He heard just about enough. Before he saw what he didn't expect. Joan came full swing at his pal. His fist connected against Ricky's jaw hitting him hard into the lockers.
"Shut up or we will leave you here…" Joan said flatly.
Ricky stood solemnly before Getsu walked up to Joan touching his shoulder gently almost affectionately, before letting her hand slip away.
"Joan that's enough stop…." Getsu said simply. "You always try to protect me…" She then hugged him from behind. The shorter man being held tightly by the taller woman, suddenly his body began to relax.
"He is right you are protecting a freak…" She pulled away. "You all are…"
'I wouldn't say freak…," Murmured Rodric looking ahead in the distance.
Confusion suddenly hit Chiro. "What's going on?"
Getsu turned to him when suddenly she looked behind him with widen eyes, Chiro saw the shadow of another figure looming over him from the corner of his left eye.
"Chiro watch it!" Shouted Getsu shoving him out of the way, Chiro fell hard to the ground. He watched as her hands caught the arm that seemed to be holding a sharp object in his hand.
It was one of those goons his yellow eyes pierced Getus's hazel green ones. Rodric grunted as he seemed to have his hands busy with two students he recognized, but there eyes were gone and black goo leaked out of their eye sockets. Chiro notice he saw more students surrounding them all with the same looks.
He felt himself growing sick. These were his classmates and teachers people he grew up with.
Suddenly Getsu was screaming as the man got a hold of her throwing her against the lockers.
"You!" The man hissed. As he reached a hand out for Chiro yanking him close.
"I'm getting the readings from you!" He rose what looked like a ceremonial dagger to stab into his chest.
Suddenly deep rough scream rang in the area; Chiro looked down as his flashlight flickered and it exploded, causing him to fall hard onto his back.
"Oh shit he did it now." Rodric grunted, knocking one of the zombies to the ground.
In the darkness Chiro saw bright green eyes as he sat himself up, hands with what looked like electric current touched the kid's head.
The boy started streaking out light from his mouth and eyes. His entire body became a current. The body jerked and started to hover a bit being held up by the current of those hands. In flash Chiro saw who it was.
It was Getsu…
Her were eyes glowing a bright green, before the boy would vanish in a giant flash of white light hitting the entire area. Chiro stumbled back and shielded his eyes.
When Chiro unshielded his eyes the boy was gone and his now zombie classmates were passed put on the ground.
Getsu looked at him. "Heh I'm electric…" She drawled. Then suddenly blood began pouring from her nose, as she swooned over. Instinctively Chiro reached out and caught her. The others ran to her.
"What did she do he made the guy become a current." Ricky whispered in awe and horror.
Rodric crouched down brushing back Getsu's bangs. "Yeah but at a cost her body can't handle that much energy yet…" He said solemnly. Then he looked at the astronomical sign of Jupiter burn brightly on her forehead.
Suddenly it dawned on him, Jupiter visiting the apartment, her reaction in the bathroom. What she did just there.
"I've heard of you guys, you kind of are like what is all over the Web and pages…of those myths for facts…"
Rodric did nothing wiping up Getsu's nose with his shirt.
"Getsu is the prodigy of the Jupiter…." Chiro said softly, looking at Rodric.
"I heard they are urban legends, but kids are chosen to taken the mantel of the warriors that protect us…which means you are."
Rodric looked at Chiro smiling grimly. "Prodigy of Venus at your service."
Chiro looked in awe back down at his unconscious Getsu, his dear close friend was none other than the few chosen in the planet to keep the world safe.
He almost felt unworthy to be near her or either of them.
"Her powers are untapped though and I get this feeling they know that the people after her and are trying to finish off the Prodigy so the circle isn't complete." Rodric said, picking her up in his arms.
"Why did they think it was me?" Chiro said pointing to himself.
"I assume you have been near her the most so her energy rubs off on you…same as Joan which is probably why whatever thing that was came after them." Rodric said flatly.
Joan looked at Ricky for a moment than back towards Getsu.
Then Joan sighed loudly. Then smirked, "all the attention is on you Getsu even when you don't want it…." He then silently walked down the hall taking lead grabbing the makeshift weapon from Rodric, Ricky following him in toe.
"You guys coming?" Ricky shouted over his shoulder.
Rodric smirked a little. "Something tells me those two have history." Looking down at Getsu's sleeping face.
Chiro stared at him. "Yeah she deals with them on a day to day bases at her job.."
Rodric smiled at Chiro with a glint in his eyes as he started walking. "Not that kind of history."
Chiro with a confused look suddenly halted in his tracks. "No way Getsu is well she strictly likes women…..I mean or she says she prefers them…" He stammered.
Rodric laughed. "Hmm I guess a story for another time then…Come on though we don't want them out of or sights…" He walked a little faster.
Chiro still confused about everything kept in toe behind him always looking at the darkness in back of him waiting for an attack.
"Man I just wanted to play video games today." He mumbled.
