Chapter 8 - Egg Hunt!
"Today, instead of school, you will all have to go on an Egg hunt! There are many eggs scattered around the school, filled with candy or traps, and whoever retrieves the most gets a forced dream of their partner!" The loudspeaker said, "However, as this school already has three people with partners, if one of those three are chosen, they may choose any single person to receive the forced dream. The game will end once all the eggs have been found. That or someone gets over 1,500 eggs."
"Sounds interesting." Yuki said, as she ate her breakfast.
"Well, I think we all know who's going to win." Dragel said.
"Yuki, if you win, can I have the forced dream?" Masamune asked.
"No way! She's going to let me have it, right?" King argued. Cue the two arguing.
"Che, neither of you." Yuki muttered. Too bad neither Masamune or King had heard.
"The hunt begins..." There was a pause, to give suspense.
"Whoever gets the most eggs out of us, and doesn't win in the whole school, gets to keep an egg from each person." Madoka said. Everyone nodded.
"NOW!" At that, everyone started running, except a few who stayed inside the cafeteria in case there were eggs in that room.
Not that long after the game had begun, Alec, playing it safe, set a barrier around himself just in case someone tried to steal his eggs in the duration of the game. After all, there were no rules set. Even though the game had just started, he had found one in his pocket, which everyone had.
"Score!" Dragel said, eating ice cream while picking up her twentieth egg. It was already thirty minutes into the game, "I wonder how we can see stats..."
"Oh yes, and I forgot to mention." Mr. Hayashi's voice boomed through the loudspeaker, "If you say 'Scoreboard', then you will be able to see the top ten people and the number of eggs they have. It's updated every second."
"Scoreboard." Dragel said. A digital, blue screen appeared in front of her. She read who were the top ten, from tenth to first.
10th Heart, Aurora - 17 eggs
10th Lune, Winter - 17 eggs
10th Hasama, Hikaru - 17 eggs
10th Amano, Madoka - 17 eggs
6th Pendragon, Dragel - 20 eggs
6th Lance, Alec - 20 eggs
6th Hagane, Gingka - 20 eggs
2nd Kadoya, Masamune - 25 eggs
2nd _, King - 25 eggs
1st Hagane, Galaxy - 312 eggs
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Thousands of people shouted the same words. Why? They had seen how many eggs Yuki had already collected. However, as they stared in shock, the number was rapidly increasing. Everyone who was shocked had stared at it for over a minute, and during that time, she had collected about thirty more eggs.
"At least I'm in the top ten..." Madoka said, picking up her eighteenth egg, sending her to 7th place.
"How does Yuki always, always, know how to find stuff like that?" Hanako muttered to herself, looking for another egg. She currently had fourteen eggs.
Kiyoko, eyes silver, grinned darkly. Something from her past had kicked in, and now she was like a ruthless lion. She pickpocketed twenty eggs, and added that to her three eggs, which got her to 3rd place in a split second. Angel, who had the lowest of the top ten, was kicked off the chart, as Kiyoko's name settled in place.
"God damnit!" Kyoya swore, as he only had fifteen eggs. He looked at the scoreboard again, and saw that his younger sister had popped up to third, "Must be the cat DNA..." He sighed, but spotted another egg.
"I think this is number 500..." Yuki said, "Or is it 600? I forget. Scoreboard." Now that it was about 90 minutes into the game, the stats had changed.
10th Heart, Aurora - 47 eggs
9th Hasama, Hikaru - 48 eggs
8th Amano, Madoka - 50 eggs
7th _, King - 55 eggs
7th Kadoya, Masamune - 55 eggs
5th Hagane, Gingka - 59 eggs
4th Pendragon, Dragel - 64 eggs
3rd Tategami, Kiyoko - 76 eggs
2nd _, Nile - 83 eggs
1st Hagane, Galaxy - 500 eggs
"Hm...so Nile caught up quickly, as did Kiyoko. Aurora's still in the same position, and might steal Hikaru's spot soon..." Yuki said, as she rapidly picked up eggs while walking around, "The biggest threats are Nile and Kiyoko, even though I know that Nile picks up about ten eggs every ten minutes, maybe a little more, maybe less. Kiyoko steals, because it's obvious that the demon's been set loose."
"Che, I'm not on the top ten." Hanako said, picking up another egg. It was her 39th, if she found more faster, then she would be on the list soon.
"Scoreboard." Ryuga said, now two hours into the game.
10th Hasama, Hikaru - 56 eggs
9th Heart, Aurora - 59 eggs
8th Amano, Madoka - 64 eggs
7th _, King - 73 eggs
7th Kadoya, Masamune - 73 eggs
5th Pendragon, Dragel - 76 eggs
4th Tategami, Kiyoko - 80 eggs
3th Hagane, Gingka - 84 eggs
2nd _, Nile - 102 eggs
1st Hagane, Galaxy - 785 eggs
The second person had finally exceeded the number of 100. Ryuuga frowned. He was not liking the idea that he had less plastic eggs than the 10th place. That and the fact that Gingka's younger twin was getting closer and closer to 1,000 every second. However, her number stopped raising. Ryuga raised an eyebrow.
Yuki yawned. Day time was not her favorite time of day. She loved nighttime. So much, that Gingka sometimes called her a vampire. She decided to recover her energy for a bit, because she seemed to deplete her energy faster during the day. Little did she know why...
"Seems as if Yuki's resting to regain her energy." Lani mused, "Must be tough, having to rely on the shining stars at night for her full power, as well as the moon's current phase. Then again, so did the other Alicorns..." The blonde picked up another egg, as she observed the scoreboard.
"I think this is 110, now." Nile said, putting away a plastic blue and gray egg into a plastic bag he had. It had reached about two hours and seven minutes in the hunt. Nile was trying to take advantage of the fact that Yuki was currently resting, to try and get more eggs.
"She only needs about 700 more eggs to end this game as fast as possible." Crystal said, "Because I know there are at least 2,000 more eggs hidden everywhere in the school, and some outside." She was walking toward a blue egg that she had seen.
Aurora smiled as she picked up her 67th egg. She had Luna help her find some eggs, as Phoenixes could fly and scout the area. She didn't really need to win, but a friendly competition was good once in awhile.
Kiyoko stretched, having stolen another egg. Her eyes were still silver, and she had arrows created for the purpose of snatching eggs. About two and a half hours had passed.
"Scoreboard." Kiyoko said.
10th Hasama, Hikaru - 69 eggs
9th Heart, Aurora - 72 eggs
8th Amano, Madoka - 80 eggs
7th _, King - 94 eggs
7th Kadoya, Masamune - 94 eggs
5th Hagane, Gingka - 105 eggs
4th Pendragon, Dragel - 107 eggs
3rd Tategami, Kiyoko - 111 eggs
2nd _, Nile - 129 eggs
1st Hagane, Yuki - 823 eggs
"Yuki's pace seems to have slowed, that or she took a short break." Miu said, thinking about the scoreboard, "Ah, whatever. I need to focus on getting more eggs."
"We are getting close to the finish! Our first place is closing in on 1,500 eggs!" Mr. Hayashi said through the loudspeaker at the three hours and thirty minutes mark. "The current score is...
In tenth place, Hikaru Hasama, with 104 eggs!
In ninth place, Aurora Heart with 112 eggs!
In eighth place, Madoka Amano with 126 eggs!
In seventh place, Gingka Hagane with 135 eggs!
Tied for sixth, Masamune Kadoya and King _, each having 140 eggs!
In fourth place, we have Dragel Pendragon with 147 eggs!
In third, Kiyoko Tategami with 159 eggs!
For second, we have Nile _ with a current total of 171 eggs!
And in first, Galaxy/Yuki Hagane, with a whopping 1,399 eggs, and counting!"
"Dang, I could expect Yuki, but Gingka? No way." Blaze muttered to himself, hearing the announcement, "I really need to step my game up if I want to get to 110 eggs..." Blaze frowned, as he had about 90 eggs.
"How many eggs are there? The eggs that the top ten have together equals at least 2,493 eggs, since Yuki's number keeps going up." Winter said, somehow doing the math very fast. People around her who had heard her stared at her, mouths open and eyes wide.
"The game's going to be over soon, so why keep looking?" A lazy Zeo muttered, as he had taken a nap in his room, "This is so boring..."
After about another ten or so minutes, the game ended. All of the students were herded to the auditorium.
"The game has ended in favor of Yuki Hagane, who gathered 1,500 of the 10,000 eggs scattered around the school!" Mr. Hayashi said, revealing the number of eggs, "And since she already has her partner, she can choose someone to be forced to have the dream at night."
"Hm..." Yuki thought for a moment, "Kiyoko Tategami." Needless to say, many people were shocked. Almost everyone had thought that she would choose Dragel.
"Good choice." Lani mouthed, once she had Yuki's attention.
"So? How did it go?" A man said. The only thing visible about him was his eyes, which were colored purple.
"She chose the cat girl." A boy responded. He kneeled, and his red eyes glowed in the dark.
"What?!" The man said, enraged, "She was supposed to choose the blue jay or the wyvern brat!"
"It seems as if she knew about our goal." A girl with a monotone voice said. She, like the boy, kneeled, and her eyes glowed a brilliant silver.
"We'll need to adjust our plan. If we want one of them to come to our side, we'll have to wait longer." The man growled, "Go notify Seigyoku and Kongouseki."
"You mean Sei and Kon?" The boy asked.
"Yes, he means Sei and Kon." The girl said, rolling her eyes, "We will report soon."
"I will await for your return." The man said, watching the two walk away, "Just you wait, we will have our hands on the winged unicorn!"
Me: Yay! BAD GUYS HAVE THEIR INTRODUCTION-ISH! :D AND I THINK THIS IS THE LONGEST CHAPTER!
Hanako: OVER FOUR FREAKING PAGES LONG!
Miu: Seriously. I don't think 'I THINK THIS IS THE LONGEST CHAPTER' cuts it. I think it IS the longest chapter.
FUN FACT: I'm addicted to Magi the Labyrinth of Magic, and since one of the characters are named Kougyoku(Ruby), I thought, "Wouldn't there be a name similar to that for something like sapphire?" in fact, there was! It was Seigyoku, meaning sapphire, and I used that! Also, Kongouseki's name means diamond, but I shortened both names to Sei and Kon, because they were too long. Well, they're nicknames, at least.
QUESTION OF THE CHAPTER: Whaddya think of Yuki's trolling by getting all the eggs really quickly? *Insert random trollface here*
Lani: You spend time on deviantART too much...
Me: I do. And I wish had strike. ;A;
Angel: Thanks for reading, and see you next chapter! (Unless you read Memories, since we're going to try to have another chapter posted this weekend!)
