Chapter 15
"No! No! I won't accept that!" The boy who was holding his girlfriend tightly, did not mind the black goo that was seeping into his white button up shirt.
"Chiro-san you must understand…." Rodric said to him taking a step closer. Chiro's grip tightened on her.
Shelia watches the whole thing go down as Aya stepped in as well.
"I have to see what is happening to her body…" She said professionally.
"Fuck you!" Was the retort.
Shelia sighed slowly; she rubbed the back of her head not really understanding this bullshit at the moment. She looked over to see the shorter of the men leaned up against the desk. His face seemed grim.
Ignoring the argument she walked over sitting herself onto the desk staring at him.
The boy looked at her from the corner of his eye then looked straight ahead once again.
"Huh weird I never seen a guy shorter than Aya-san? How height are you?" She flinched realizing she said the word height instead of tall in Japanese.
The man chuckled. "You're not from Japan huh?"
"No American sadly…." She went on, and got a bellied laugh.
She realized she had never heard such a deep manly voice before, it actually made her blush even Rodric's wasn't that deep.
"Don't go crushing on me now, I'm part of a non-citizen gang hun." He said simply.
Shelia felt her cheeks inflame more. "Who said I was!" Calming down to look at him again. "Besides I have a thing for bad boys." She grinned. "The name is Shelia."
The man arched an eyebrow and turned his head slightly to look up at her. "Joan…" He paused. "Do yah now? I'm thinking about changing my ways actually after all of this if I get through it."
"Mmmm I see…" She looked at him, she had never seem such a man well look like man. He had muscles a tight t-shirt that showed him off he was even rocking the buzzed haircut and goatee.
And even with his rugged features she notice that those cheekbones were very high for a man, and his eyes were quite round.
Looking down at his hands, even though they were large, the fingers were long and slim almost like a woman.
"How long ago did you start transitioning?" Shelia said absent mindedly looking back into those light brown eyes.
The man's eyebrows shot up. "Huh I'm impressed many people hardly see that now…" He said looking at her.
Shelia shrugged, "call it intuition no man can have cheekbones and hands like that…" she said pointing to them.
The guy looked at her then looked over her to stare at the girl named Getsu, Shelia notice from the corner of her eyes.
This girl was stealing all the thunder and she was passed out cold. Shelia didn't know whether to give her a high five or smack the shit out of her.
"I'm guessing she dated you before all of those manly features appeared?" Shelia said to him, bringing back his attention to her.
"Yeah, but she didn't care Getsu was a special girl, she loved me even when I told her I was truly a man." He said giving her one more glimpse before looking Shelia once again. "Even called me 'he' quicker than any of my friends like it was natural and said boyfriend and all."
"But….I started getting angry a lot then started a gang. Getsu had it and left me to go to this college." He said a sad look in his eyes.
"I started taunting her at her Job. Starting saying awful things, I felt like she betrayed me and she broke my heart. So I hated her, but I also still loved her." He said looking at Shelia a little like a lost puppy.
"Mmm more like you still love her…you should just tell her." Shelia said getting off the desk. "You know once she wakes up you should…."She trailed off suddenly looking at the door, the others arguing silenced as well.
"What?" The Joan said, Shelia then reached out to him grabbing his shirt and throwing him across the room. She knew what was going to happen.
"Everyone get down!"
Suddenly the door smashed open as the desk went flying across the room smashing into the windows. Shelia fell over Joan to look up and see a large man who had to duck a good few inches of his body to step in. One of them was completely bald with a scarf covering his mouth.
"Give us her and no one gets hurt." The smaller one said then a chuckle escaped. "Heh always wanted to say that…"
Shelia suddenly stood up and spun around sticking her leg out as it connected into the smaller one's side who was distracted. Suddenly sending him flying into the bigger one as they both went into the wall on the right side of the room.
"How about you leave and no one gets hurt!" Shelia prompted as they were struggling standing up.
"Why you no good cunt!" The smaller spat. "Seven get her!"
Seven charged at her with his fist out, when suddenly a hand grabbed it. It was that kid Joan, he cried out as if every bone in his hand had broken.
But that didn't stop him as stuck his foot out sweeping the guys right ankle, as he fell to ground with a loud smack onto his back. Holding his arm tightly to his chest his hand completely limp.
"The bigger they are the harder they fall." He quipped.
"Can you two stop with the quotes?" Aya groaned across the room from them.
"Yeah…" Rodric joined suddenly running past them grabbing the face of the smaller guy who got ready to charge, smashing his head into the wall causing the dry wall to smash inward making a hole. "Cause, Do yah feel lucky punk do yah?" He grinned.
"Ughhh" Aya said, but Shelia saw the small smile on her lips.
"Oh my can I join?" A voice suddenly said, it sent a chill up Shelia's spine as she turned around. So did the others.
A tall man very thin with an over sized tux was smiling at them as four other yellowed eyed people appeared.
"Didn't think you could hide forever?" The man cooed.
Shelia looked them "Fuck you!" She spat and went to charge at him, but suddenly two yellowed eyed men appeared in front of her. Grabbing her arms charged her into the wall across the room at blinding speed. They had her pinned her to it, they slammed her so hard the wall in-caved a little. She groaned opening her eyes seeing double vision.
"Shelia!" Rodric cried, when suddenly Seven was up and behind him his arm snaked around him. Grabbing him into a choke hold grabbing his hair with his free hand yanking his head back. Shelia looked over to see Aya standing protectively over the three on the floor.
Joan put up no fight just staring at one of them he recognized one of them with a grim look.
"Now we want no problem we are just looking for her…" The creepy man said as Shelia looked at him.
Shelia said nothing, and neither did Rodric or Aya said anything.
"Come Come now….oh?" He said suddenly looking over at Aya to the guy Chiro who was holding the girl whose body was cracking, like the blue haired one said. She noticed though he was nowhere seen.
"Are you looking for that guy?" One of the ones pinning her asked.
"Heh… he didn't want to sacrifice his life so he told us where you were and sneaked out through the other door." The other said holding her right arm laughing.
"Bastard…." Joan seethed
"Heh looks like your loyalties are gone Joan you have no one…" Said the man who was staring him down.
"Second now come that's drama to bring up look isn't that the girl you bit?" The man said.
Second looked over at the girl and smiled. "Oh yeah she looks like she might be changing any minute."
"Bastard! You did this!" Chiro shouted. The guy Second turned his yellow eyes at him.
"Yeah got a problem with that?" He veered staring at him.
Chiro held the girl to his chest, tears running down his cheeks.
Suddenly the area of the school rocked the darkness surrounding them began to fade and streaks of lights hit the classroom. Everyone looked up except for the lone guy who seemed to be controlling it, he dropped his suitcase grabbing his head.
"Oh dear…" He grunted, straining himself. Shelia realized only one group of people can do that…
"Stop! Let her go!" Chiro's suddenly yelled cutting of Shelia's train of thought
"Piss off," Someone grunted at him, the sound of someone hitting the stacked desk and chairs followed right after.
"Second!" The man barked. Shelia turned to see "second" stop his fingers from touching that girl Sakura's face.
"Boy!" The man shouted, as Chiro jerked his eye to him his glasses broken and hanging on by and ear to the side.
"If you tell me who she is I'll let her…." As he pointed to the girl who began cracking like porcelain doll below him. "…Stay human." The area around them shook soon the cracks became larger and larger.
"Master Zero!" Second shouted, but was silence by a sharp stare. Suddenly light began streaming the classroom from outside.
"Boy it is your decision." As he stepped towards Chior, the anger soon faded and a calm look came of the Skinny Man once again. "She can be yours again you won't lose her."
Chiro stood up and his hands began to shake he bit his lower lip. Shelia noticed Chiro was slowly looking at Getsu passed out on the ground from the corner of his eye.
The man seemed to notice as his head turned to look at Getsu.
"No!" Aya suddenly shouted running behind the man ready to tackle him, but the man noticed turning slightly he grabbed Aya and through her to the ground.
"Enough!" He barked, as Aya started to get up he walked over and backhanded her hard across the face, causing Aya to fall to the floor spitting some blood from her mouth.
The man looked at the boy Chiro again as the kid took off his glasses. "I'm sorry…" He mumbled. "I have no choice I love her too much…" He said looking at Sakura's decaying body.
"She is right over-"
"Here! I'm right here!"
Shelia recognized the voice and looked over to see it was none other than the boy Joan staring at the man. Chiro looked shocked.
The man turned to look at Joan and suddenly Second snorted loudly. "We are talking about a girl Joan!"
"Technically I was born biologically a female…" He smiled, Second stood there shocked. "Testosterone and Steroids do wonders to my body."
He looked at guy with a grim look. "Also you wouldn't have chased down my members if you didn't since the same aura that Jupiter carries right?"
"There is no freaking way-" Second said but was cut off by his Master raising his hand up to him, turning around he smiled at Joan.
He walked towards him his footsteps echoing on the tiles as he stopped he looked over the man a few times and even sniffed him? He then smiled and clapped his hands happily.
"I'm so happy you finally came to us Prodigy of Jupiter now come with us and the others can go and not get hurt." He grinned.
"First thing is first…" Joan said grimly. "You are a man of your word I hope. Bring that girl back human while you are at it…"
The man smiled and nodded. "Deal." He looked over at the man Second who groveled, and looked at the others.
"Come on!" He barked. "Clear out and grab him we don't need them anymore!" Everyone looked at him for a moment.
"Did you not hear me we got her move!" He yelled, one by one they slowly left the room Seven let go of Rodric who fell on his knees rubbing his neck. The ones pinning Shelia let her go as she fell on the ground rolling onto her side.
Shelia stared to see the two holding her each grabbing one of Joan's arms and escorting him out of the classroom.
The man came over grabbing his suit case, he walked over to the girl who was literally falling apart. Placing two of finger on her forehead, as they seem to sink into the black goo. The girl opened her eyes and screamed, unable to move as her body was mostly encased with what looked like stone.
"Don't hurt her!" Chiro cried, but the man looked at him before Chiro had the chance to run over to her and he removed his two fingers from her forehead. Suddenly a black mass surrounded the girl whose screams seem to come to an end.
After a few moments, it lifted and it showed a normal skinned pinked lip brown hair girl. Chiro scrambled to her on his hands and knees touching her making sure she wouldn't break then put his ear to her chest. Shelia noticed in blurry vision he seemed happy. He brought the girl close crying.
"She's alive!" He cried happily.
Shelia sat up, as the man grabbed his suitcase . He tipped his hat to them and left the classroom.
Shelia was able to position herself up, dizzy she realized even though Chiro had his girlfriend an innocent person was now going to die.
(….)
Ricky stumbled in the dark hallways, not once did a yellow eyes or zombie pale freak stop him. Finally down the hall through the black mass he saw the red glowing 'Exit' sign.
Happily he began to jog too it, his thoughts flickered to his former leader Joan.
"Sorry man…" He mumbled, "nothing personal."
Suddenly the sound of can hit his ears and he skidded to a stop. He held up his flashlight to look at the floor to see a soda can rolling to the front of his feet.
He grunted and kicked it back into a the darkness, a few times the metal skipped the dark tiled floor. Then he suddenly heard a mewling sound. Like a cat almost.
"The fuck?" He took a few steps and suddenly the school shook like a massive earthquake just his them. He struggled losing his balance and fell hard on his 'ass'. He dropped the flashlight as it rolled a bit away. When it suddenly was stopped. Rodric noticed by a small gray paw.
He looked up and saw a Tiny cat mewling, and licking his paw. Ricky adjusted himself up and walked over to it.
"Alright you little fur ball." Ricky picked it up the scruff of its neck staring at it. "Get out of my way I got a door to get to." He tossed it away, as the cat landed on its paws turning back to him. It meowed and it's eyes started glow a bright yellow. Ricky didn't seem to notice as it meowed at him hissing.
"Oh shut up…" He crouched down and picked up the flashlight. He wouldn't hear the sudden morph and shifting of the cat's bones and how massive it grew, the fur ripping off its body being replace by slime looking skin like it was shedding. The cats face would extended and its mouth would stretch open showing many newly sharp teeth, its ears seem to fall off as it was a smooth head. The muscles seem to budged, and the neck elongated itself and made it thicker. The tail grew out and the tip became a ball with spikes at the end. The creatures back would shoot out four long tentacles.
It growled, Ricky laughed. He then turn to shine the light on it. "That was an impressive-" He cut himself dropping the flashlight as the creature advanced toward him.
He suddenly opened his mouth and screamed.
(….)
Jupiter's muscles felt sore putting more and more effort into the shield, for some odd reason it seemed very harder than normally, she leapt back from the force field, as it seemed to break off piece by piece like glass openings of light would beam into the school. She noticed a door, seemed to be seen.
Sailor Jupiter looked at it and began to shout. "Guys an opening we should get to it!"
The others stopped their attacks to look at it, each running over to her.
"Oh good, maybe Sailor Mercury can go in while the rest of us finish this thing off…" Venus entered staring at, sweat appearing on her brow her chest rising and falling.
Jupiter noticed they all seemed exhausted.
"Yes lets…I'll go in and find the others and-" Mercury went on to say, but was cut off by the sound of the school door being pushed open. And two figures running out, one looked human the other…something else.
"Guys!" Jupiter shouted pointing. In the light it was a tall boy and a giant creature it was running on all for, its pale translucent skin and long black tongue hanging from its monstrous maw was chasing the boy.
Suddenly the boy seems to trip and the creature was only a few feet away. Advancing, Jupiter sprinted over and leapt into the creature's path.
Just before its mouth could sink into the boys flesh. Jupiter came in between her hands landing on the lower and upper mouth. She buckled her legs muscles straining as her boots dug into the ground.
The creature was still pushing forward, on its hind legs. Paws or claws? Trying swat, one scraped across her chest causing a rip in her Fuku.
"Jupiter!" Mecury shouted.
"Grab….the…boy…." She grunted, as he was still right under her his face pale and body frozen.
They ran over, as the boy snapped out of it pushing the others away.
"No! Don't touch me! They are all still in there…that thing was a fucking cat when I saw it!" He shouted.
Jupiter looked at it, its sharp teeth and green saliva coming from its maw began dripping on her. Her eyes began to glow, and with one hard shove and lift. She lifted up the creature and shoved it into the force field. It cried out, hitting it flew force a current surrounding it as it collapsed on the floor.
"Just calm down and tell us what is going on…." Mecury's voice was heard.
The boy seemed hysterical and crazed. "Listen I need to go you can't keep me here!"
Jupiter turned around, the others were there trying to talk to him.
"Are there other people in there…was one a boy? Yay High, dark hair?" Venus entered.
"How about a girl kind of small has black hair as well?" Mars went on.
The boy shook his head side to side. "Look there is people there but…"
"How about a girl…" Jupiter said, as the boy turned to her. "Very tall, messy cropped dark brown hair. Distinctive eyes…" She loomed over him.
He looked at her and hate suddenly filled his eyes. "Fuck you that girl is trouble!"
Suddenly Jupiter's hands lashed out, before the others could react. "Listen you punk there are people in there people who will die now tell me…." She leaned in her face now inches from his. "WHERE ARE THEY!?"
"Sailor Jupiter! Stand down he is a civilian!" Venus said using her authority as leader. Jupiter looked at her and 'tsked' pushing him away as he fell to ground, he then looked at them all making sure no one stopped him and scrambled up running off.
"He's a lowlife and we will get him later." Mars said putting a hand on Jupiter's tense shoulder.
"Come on lets go inside." Venus said.
They all nodded back and turned back around to run to the door, when suddenly it swung open. They all stopped a few feet from it.
A man stepped out tall and thin his body seemed to bend with the wind, like his bones were possibly made of strung up straw. He smiled through his pale lips. "Oh my are you guys going somewhere?" Suddenly six other people stepped out with, yellow eyes and piercing skin almost looking like clones of each other except in height, one came out holding a boy. He seemed very badly beat up and bound by his wrist and push to the ground on his knees.
"Ohhhh Welcome Sailor Scouts I see your Queen isn't here what a shame…" The man said taking his hat and pressing it to his chest bending is long upper body into a full front bow. "Forgive me, my name has been given to me as Zero." He then looked up straightening his body putting his hat on his head.
"What do you want?" Venus stand stepping in front of them looking at man, staring warily at the boy every few seconds.
The man seemed to notice and smiled.
"Oh to see your own faces when I kill this young child right in front of your eyes."
"Like hell you are!"
This time it didn't come from Jupiter a fully furious angry Mars, went full speed towards them.
"Sailor Mars!" Venus yelled, Jupiter watched her fist raised covered in flames she let out a battled cry when suddenly she was halted by groaning sounds.
"What is that sound?" Mars said, and suddenly the man smiled as shadows of mass people appeared behind him stepping out of light. They all began walking towards them.
Jupiter's eyes widened and Mercury's muffled scream hit her ears.
Hoards of people to young people and older where pales, black eyed leaking what look like black goo from their mouths came out towards them slowly. Their skin grayish there bones showing through the tightly wrinkled skin.
"Mars don't harm them they are people with their life forces taken you know we can't hurt them!" Venus suddenly shouted.
"Dammet I know that!" Mars entered, as she watches them surround the area.
Jupiter stepped forward the person was on his knee's looked at Jupiter with a small smile and winked.
Confusion went across her face for a flick second, when the man started laughing.
"I believe what you gentlemen call this is…." Suddenly his body began to grow and shift, and as his clothes shredded away, his body began long and thin as his head changed into a worm like shape with a long neck, and long fingers deadly sharp, and long worm like body , his nose became two nostrils holes with giant glowing eyes.
"Check Mate…" His voice now doubled and echoed. Jupiter scrunched her face disgusted at what was in front of her.
"Second!" The thing ordered, a young skinny boy looked at him.
"Do what you need to do, make an exception." The boy pulled out what looked like a clean dagger with interesting design patterns, at the end of the handle was a dark crystal.
"That's….." Mercury said slowly. Jupiter looked at her horrified eyes, when suddenly before anything happened Mercury ran full sprint towards Venus and Mars who were trying to knock down the victimized zombie students and faculty.
"Senshi!" Mecury yelled. "We need to get that dagger now!" The others looked at her, as Jupiter ran towards them.
The boy Second grabbed the other boys hair. Yanking his head back pressing the dagger to his neck.
"Noooo!" Mercury screamed, when suddenly two clones of the weird monster suddenly grabbed her pinning her to the floor.
The boy looked at Jupiter suddenly with warm eyes and a soft smile. He then closed them; everything else seemed in slow motion.
What Jupiter didn't see was the prodigies and a young frantic Getsu appear at the door with a horrified eyes, her mouth suddenly opened and she seemed to be shouting something
The boy smiled and called out one last time. "I love you Getsu." Tears escaped his eyes.
Jupiter closed her eyes and heard Getsu's deep desperate cry.
"Joan!"
A/N: How do guys feel that Chiro turned on Getsu? Oh and yeah Joan's secret and sudden valor? Me personally I like it. Also I wanted to narrate with a prodigy who hasn't spoke yet like Shelia, I feel like she hasn't gotten much love in this story. Thanks for reading as always :)!
