CHAPTER TWO: ACCIDANTS HEPPEN!
"Nana! I have something to tell you!" Ryoko shouted anxiously as she chased after her sailor-uniform clad best friend.
"It can wait until AFTER we take down the base, silly!" Nana giggled as she put her index finger on Ryoko's lip in the most innocent and adorable way imagnable.
"Yeah...I guess you're right..." Ryoko sighed; she stared into Nana's soft, bluish-green eyes, as they seemed to draw her in the way a siren's call draws in sailors. Nana softly licked her own lips...oh how she licked her lips the way Cleopatra must have when tempting Mark Anthony and Constantine into fighting each other...there was just no way in hell anybody who has a soul could possibly say "no" to that. The way she crossed her legs as she swayed back and forth...Ryoko was convinced that some government somewhere made it a controlled substance, as she could feel herself growing more and more aroused by the second.
"You comin'?" Nana asked in a sincere tone, apparently unaware of Ryoko's hormone-driven euphoria.
"Y-yes," Ryoko finally responded nervously, "I'll take point since I have the knife!"
-The two girls rushed on ahead into the mysterious laboratory that mission control told them to investigate; apparently, some weird monsters were running out of control, and if left unchecked, they could spill into the surrounding forest and cause severe environmental damage, then go into the nearby town and wreak havoc upon the people there. Ryoko wanted to spend more time with Nana, but she knew that this was an important message, so she had no time to waste.
-The lab was a large, mysterious complex, looking vaguely like a Metroid game. This lab, however, was not in space; it was dangerously close to home, and had to be dealt with ASAP. The complex was a sprawling maze of gray metal walls, with tables that had strange chemical experiments with test tubes, hotplates, and all sorts of other things scattered about. Each station had an ominous large, computer monitor next to it, with data figures on it that made no sense at all to Ryoko or Nana.
That is when the girls found their first enemies; several blobs of gray-coloured pseudo-liquid!
-There were no words exchanged between the girls; they immediately got into fighting. The blobs lashed in a sinister way at Ryoko, but she hacked and slashed them apart the way an explorer clears her way through thick foliage with a machete; fast and merciless. As Ryoko stopped to catch her breath, she noticed three of the blobs leap out at her, faster than she could possibly react.
Too bad for them Nana shot them faster than she could react as well.
"Thanks again, Nana," Ryoko cheered, "I have no Idea where I would be without you!"
Nana blushed, "Aww...you KNOW I wouldn't be here without you, either!"
The girls stared into each other's eyes for just a second before a second wave of monsters came; this time, they were gray-coloured blobs shaped sort of like Left 4 Dead hunters.
"Do they SERIOUSLY think this will be enough to take us down?" Ryoko jeered, full of confidence as she charged for them.
-The hunterblobs leapt on top of Ryoko almost immediately, and began to pummel her senseless with their fists. As Ryoko slashed and stabbed back, she heard a sound that she hoped to God she would never hear; Nana screaming in pain and terror!
"LET GO!" Ryoko screamed desperately, fighting back the monsters more fiercely than ever before. She managed to shake the creatures off, and stabbed them all to death, only to find more of the creatures pounding Nana into the ground! Ryoko screamed as she charged as fast as she could, swinging her knife like a cyclone. She sliced and diced the creatures on top of Nana in a desperate attempt to free her. What she saw broke her heart. "My God," Ryoko gasped, "Nana! Please tell me you're OK!"
Nana didn't speak any audible words; she was too badly mauled by the creatures to move her mouth properly. Her bloody eyes filled with tears as she reached to touch Ryoko's cheek...she knew she was not going to make it.
"Please, Nana! We'll contact a hospital or something, you'll be OK!" Ryoko tried to gently lift the mangled body of Nana, but she shook her head, and began to slip.
"NO! Nana! Please! I need you! You need me!" Ryoko sobbed as she clenched the mortally wounded Nana to her face, and lightly pressed her lips against Nana's. They felt cold...too cold...
She was dead.
-Ryoko sat, with Nana's corpse in her hands. Tears flowed from her eyes the way a hard Miami summer rain pours down in hurricane season. "Nana," Ryoko cried, losing herself, "I wanted to say 'I love you!'" She clenched Nana tighter, "I love you, Nana! You're my only friend! My only one! Period!" Ryoko caught a glimpse of some of the monsters out of the corner of her eye, and her emotion turned from sorrow to irrestrainable rage.
"YOU BASTARDS! I'LL MURDER YOU ALL!" She screeched as she tore through them the way a 5-year-old tears through Christmas Wrapping. The hunterblobs squealed extremely loud and high-pitched; this was one of the most painful ways any of them died, since they were getting their lambs sliced off, and then left to die of starvation and blood loss; their cries for food and blood growing weaker and quieter to the ears of their new nemesis.
Yet...Ryoko still felt unsatisfied; She killed the beasts that took her only friend, yet at the same time, her only friend was dead...and the rest of the monsters in the lab were still loose. They were all going to kill innocent girls like Nana...they were all going to make more girls like Ryoko sad and lonely...they all...deserved to die horribly!
