SKIP THIS BOLD FONT PART IF YOU WANT, IT'S NOT PART OF THE STORY
I just got back home from school, when I suddenly felt a sense of dread in the air. I knew it, He was close. As I reached into my drawer, I pulled out the Uniball Pen, A weapon passed down from from Generations. I was not much, but it was the only thing that can harm it. As I shut my drawer, I felt it coming closer. EXAMS! He had arrived, stronger than ever. Before I could even raise my inky weapon, he hit me with a rapid jab to my sides.
''Not bad.'' I said, but it was clear that was a bluff. I had faced him before, but rarely was he this powerful.
I swung my Uniball, generating a inky slash towards by opponent, but he simply tilted brought his left hand forward and absorbed the slash. It was Trick Question, a powerful move he often uses that usually gets the best of me. Shocked at his amazing speed, I dashed at him, thrusting my pen at him, piercing him in the Math section. As his arm fell to the ground, he let out a cry of pain.
I knew I was winning, but I also knew that letting my guard down would lead to my demise. Not losing breath, I charged at him again, attempting to pierce the Science section. Suddenly, I felt a stinging pain in my back, like a blade carving me open. As i turn around, I saw the severed arm of Math was still alive, as it sent the slash it absorbed back at me. Taking advantage of this distraction. Exams shot several History Pages at me, cutting me in the legs and arms, before finishing me off with a English Punch.
As I slammed against the wall, coughing out blood, I looked Exams in the eyes. As he picked me up by the neck, it spoke with a creaky ad mechanical voice.
''You...Will...Fail...''
*insert You Say Run
''No...'' I said, ''If I fail, I will be forced into taking makeup classes, extra studies, and all the things I dislike! I cannot afford to lose. Not like This.''
As I turn back, I see my computer.
''I'm sorry dear viewers, I'm gonna have to do this.''
Suddenly, My eyes glow a blue light as I got up, dashing towards him. Using his advanced textbook questions, he swung his fist, but missed as his assailant vanished before his eyes. Suddenly, a kick sent him flying through the wall and out of the building. Catching himself, he found himself in the middle of the street at late midnight. Adjusting his soulless eyes, he did stretched out his arm and did a full 360 degree swipe, devastating the entire block. Suddenly from above, I come down, jamming my pen into his shoulder.
''What is this?!'' Exams yelled as the ink burned his paper flesh, dropping to him knees.
''This is the fruit of my intelligence.'' I yelled out.
''What?! that's not possible! My analysis showed that by none can fully destroy my questions! Each of them are 100% foolproof!''
As I grabbed him by the neck, I jumped into the air and threw him back to the ground. Generating a massive crater. Before he could regain balance, I leapt back down, pounding him into the ground once more.
''Hey Exams, have you ever heard of these words? GO BEYOND! ULTRA STUDY!''
I lunged my pen into his chest, as the sheer amount of energy released sent shockwaves throughout the world. Collapsing to the floor, Exams noticed a slim sliver of paper under my sleeve.
''So that's how you overpowered me?! by Cheating?!'' He cried out.
''It's only cheating if you get caught. Sadly, you were so self confident, you were to naive to check to see if I had your one Kryptonite, That is why you lose.''
Exams grinned.
''Hah... Well played...'' he said, fading into the nothing.
''It's over.'' I said, as the everything felt weird, like the world was spinning, ''Shit, I lost too much blood.''
I crawled towards my computer.
''Must...Update... I... Must... Up...''
Sadly, I was only able to type a single letter as I passed out on my computer. Later Waking up in a hospital room. Next thing you know, I was out cold for a week. Well, that is at least what it felt like, but it's pretty much why I haven't been updating, now on with the chapter...
-The Mysterious Banana
Natsumi woke up in what seemed to be an interrogation room, still hurt from her ''rough arrival''. Looking around the dimly lit room, she spotted Sting, through the bars of her cell, being interrogated by someone, but all she could hear was mumbling as she wasn't fully awake. an attempt to move triggered a spiking pain in her lower abdomen as she tried to get up from the small bed she was placed in. Letting out a light curse as she tried to cover her mouth.
''It would appear that your wife is awake.'' said a strange looking... person?
She really wasn't sure if the creature she was looking at was human. It looked like one, can talk like one, but was definitely not what any normal person would call human. For starters, the dude was like 12 foot tall, had an odd head shape, almost like a Sphinx, rocking the pharaoh head wear and everything, and was quite large as well. But judging by the atmosphere they were in, his outfit fit the theme pretty well: Hell.
''Wait, wife?!'' she thought, ''Sting, what the fuck did you tell him?!''
''Ah! darling, your awake!'' Sting said, with a obviously acting tone that, somehow, is able to fool the monster and his two guards, ''Excuse me, I would like o speak to my wife n private.''
As the ''Man'' opened her cell doors, Sting entered the room as the two were left alone.
''So, Natsumi, on a scale of 1 to 10, how was my acting?'' Sting asked with a toothy grin, only to be met with a slap across the face.
''DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME WITH SHAME?!'' She yelled out, instantly curling inwards afterwards as the bruise of her left side tugged her down.
''You're really adorable when your angry!'', Sting Laughed.
Natsumi pouted as she sat back up, attempting to comfort her aching body, that was treated terribly.
''Yeah, the doctors here are a wack, I told them specifically to get you as much aid as possible, and even then, it's barely passable.
''How did you manage to get their trust so easily?'' asked Natsumi.
''I told them that we were a married couple on our way back from a Honeymoon when our boat was attacked and swallowed by a Sea King, and they believed us.'' said Sting.
''Was the ''married'' part really that necessary?'' asked Natsumi, ''And why not just tell them who we really are without revealing our goals, they might have even let us straight to the guy!''
''You might not know this, but this place isn't ran by the magic council, rather, it's ran by the World Government, who really despise the Fiore's guilds. If it weren't for our King, Thomas E Fiore, the Government would have attacked and taken over Fiore a long time ago. Trust me, we'll be treated no better than Pirates by the government outside our continent.'' replied Sting.
''So what now? It would be quite strange if two ''married couple'' were to suddenly attack the upper levels of this prison.'' asked Natsumi.
''Don't worry, our opening should be happening soon.'' said Sting with confidence.
''Opening? what do you mean?'' asked Natsumi.
Suddenly, a large explosion was heard as the room began to shake. An alarm was sounded as footsteps of the guard were heard as they frantically ran by the interrogation room.
''Sting?! what's going on?!'' asked Natsumi.
''I don't know! Rogue should have shown up! But the source of this ruckus is unbeknownst to me.'' replied Sting.
With Rogue, Happy, Lector and Frosh, 15 minutes ago...
Guards patrolled the lower floors of Impel Down, taking shifts as each batch of guards are dispatched every 12 hours for the night shift guards to arrive. It was for their own good, as listening to the cries of agony coming from the prisoners 24/7 could drive any man insane. As the night shift started around 7pm, The night shift guards were arriving as the day shift were heading to their lounges on the first floor. As the night shift guards walked in, one of them broke off from the rest of the group to reach his outpost, near the elevator to the first floor. When the guard realized the coast was clear, he entered the elevator, opened his rifle's holster, as three small cats fell out of it.
''Thank god, I though I was gonna die of suffocation if I had to stay there any longer.'' said Happy, lying face first on the ground like a deflated balloon.
''How much longer till we reach Sting?'' asked Lector.
''Pretty soon, I hope. Let's just hope Sting can stall the Warden long enough for us to arrive.'' said Rogue, ''Hannibal may be dumb, but he's dangerous when provoked, which is quite often actually.''
''You know the Warden here?'' asked Happy.
''We were nearly captured here once.'' answered Frosh, ''We were on a mission here to take care of a prison break, but it turns out it was all a trap set up by the WG to frame us for a causing a breakout so that they can have an excuse to take over Fiore.''
''Why would they do such a thing?'' asked Happy.
''As powerful as their military is, their main infantry is no match for our magic weapons when it come to strength in numbers. Not to mention all the guilds that can potentially participate and the amount of opposition from their own forces would lead to a major loss for the World Government, or a heavy amount of unnecessary casualties.'' replied Rogue, ''But that's not what's important right now. What is important, is that we save Natsu and Sting, and then free and bring Bon Clay to Ivankov so that Natsu can turn back to normal.
''Right!'' said the cats in unison.
Suddenly, a large amount of shaking was heard, causing the elevator's wire to snap, leading to the four falling all the way down to their deaths, or that's what would have happened had Happy not save all three of them at the last second.
''Damn, nice save Happy.'' Rogue congratulated him, while holding on to Lector and Frosh.
''Yeah, but what was that?'' asked Happy.
''Looks like Sting did it again.'' said Rogue, ''Happy, hurry up and fly us to the first floor, we need to get Natsu and Sting out of there before Magellan shows up.''
As the four arrived onto the first floor, they were surprised at how many guards were rushing towards the front door.
''Jeez! how much attention DID you attract Sting?!''
Suddenly, an Alarm was heard and an announcement could be heard through the microphone.
''ATTENTION ALL GUARDS, REINFORCEMENT IS REQUIRED AT THE FRONT GATE! I REPEAT REINFORCEMENT IS REQUIRED AT THE FRONT GATE!''
Rogue let out a soft curse as he rapidly stuffed Happy, Frosh and Lector back into his Rifle's holster as he tried to blend in with the crowd to head towards the attack. to his surprise, what he found was not Natsu and Sting, but rather a giant Sea King going berserk at the front entrance.
''WHAT'S GOING ON?!'' Rogue cried out, trying to get out an answer.
30 Minutes ago...
''You want to what?!'' asked Gray.
''You heard us right! We want you to make a ramp underwater with your ice magic.'' ordered Erza.
''But why would we do such a thing?! We're right next to Impel Down.'' replied Gray.
''We need a distraction so that we can sneak in!'' explained Erza.
''But what good can a underwater ramp do?'' asked Gray.
''We will use it, along with Aquarius to launch a Seaking into Impel Down's front door, and then we sneak in amidst all the Chaos!'' explained Lucy.
''I guess that could be a plan.'' said Gray, ''Anything goes at this point.''
You all know what happens next...
Back in present times...
''VICE WARDEN! VICE WARDEN! WE NEED YOUR HELP!'' Yelled one of the guard, rushing into a pith dark room.
A purple gas leaked out of the room, making the guard noxious.
''Huh? sorry, could you repeat that? I was in the middle of my poison bath, I didn't hear.'' said a familiar voice.
