Aurore's Moemon Adventure

Chapter 69

"We're back!" Aurore said, walking into the hotel, smiling, his moemon and Micah following after him.

"Hey, Aurore…" Lulu said, smiling. "We've got a guest…"

"Who?" Aurore asked, confused.

"Her." Lulu said, jutting a thumb towards a young girl sitting on the couch.

"Who's this?" Aurore asked, frowning.

"My name's Prima." The girl said, frowning. "And I'm here to see Aurore."

The girl had short white hair and wore a white tunic tied by a yellow cloth wrapped like a belt. She had green eyes, and a glare.

"I'm Aurore…" Aurore said, confused.

"Hmph." Prima said, frowning. "You're not nearly as strong as she said you were."

"Who is 'she'?" Aurore asked, frowning.

"My mom." Prima said, frowning. "Anyways, I came here to see you, but I'm not impressed."

"Hey!" Rin said, walking over to Prima, frowning. "You shouldn't be mean to Aurore!"

"Who are you?" Prima asked, frowning.

"I'm Rin." Rin said, frowning. "I'm Aurore's daughter."

"Really?" Prima asked, turning to Aurore, shocked. "But you're… Like what, in your twenties? Are you some sort of sexual deviant?"

"What the hell is with a kid knowing words like that?" Lulu asked, shocked.

"Oh, not good." Sakura said, walking into the room, frowning. "Little girls shouldn't use words like that."

"Who the hell are you?" Prima asked, turning to Sakura, frowning.

"…" Sakura said, smiling. She grabbed Prima's arm and pinned it behind her back, still smiling cheerfully. "Little girls shouldn't use words like that."

"That's enough." Suddenly, everyone in the room turned to see the newcomers.

"Give the girl back to us." One of the two moemon standing in the doorway said, frowning.

"Who are you?" Bluebell exclaimed, glaring at the two.

"I am Zebstrika. The Horse of the Zodiac." Zebstrika said, frowning. She wore a black shirt and black jacket, the jacket having jagged white stripes across it. She wore black pants with jagged white stripes, and had bright red eyes as well as black hair that flowed down her back like a mane, with white highlights.

"I am Mandibuzz. The Rooster of the Zodiac." Mandibuzz said, frowning. She wore a brown skirt with a tan collar around it, and wore a dark brown shirt with a furry tan collar. She had wild brown hair tied behind her head into a ponytail, held in place by a bone. She had piercing golden eyes, and had two large brown wings sticking out of her back.

"Zodiac?" Aurore exclaimed, frowning.

"Give the girl to us now." Zebstrika said, frowning. "Our leader wants her back."

"I'm not going to do that." Aurore said, glaring at her.

"Then I shall move you." Zebstrika said, frowning. She began crackling with electricity, and shot at Aurore like a bullet.

"Aqua jet!" Bluebell exclaimed, tackling into Zebstrika as she intercepted the attack, sending Zebstrika flying into one of the tables.

"Hah!" Bluebell said, grinning, the water around her vanishing. "I managed to kick your ass! How do you like that? There's no one around who's faster than me!"

"…" Zebstrika said, standing up. "Set." Suddenly, Bluebell felt the electricity from Zebstrika flow through her body, electrocuting her.

"Bluebell!" Sora exclaimed.

"I wouldn't be moving, if I were you." Mandibuzz said, wrapping her arms around Sora. "You see, you're the one I'm after."

"Me?" Sora asked, shocked.

"You're the one, right?" Mandibuzz asked, smiling. "The one with the ultimate powers of darkness?"

"What?" Sora asked, shocked.

"Let's test it." Mandibuzz said, grinning. "Your darkness against my darkness!" Mandibuzz kicked Sora forwards, and held her hand up, darkness swirling in her hands.

"Night slash!" Mandibuzz shouted, slashing at Sora. However, Sora quickly jumped back, dodging the slash.

"Faint attack." Mandibuzz said, smiling evilly. She disappeared from the battlefield completely, Sora looking around worriedly.

"Micah, you aren't going to help?" Aurore asked, frowning.

"I'm exhausted from Sora's training." Micah said, frowning. "I need time to recover my power."

Where is she going to strike? Sora thought worriedly.

"For the best target, of course." Mandibuzz whispered into Sora's ear. Sora whirled around, and saw Mandibuzz emerge from the shadows behind Aurore.

"Farewell…" Mandibuzz said, smiling wickedly, stabbing Aurore through the stomach.

"MASTER!" Sora exclaimed.

"Master!" Bluebell exclaimed, turning to Aurore, who crumpled to the ground.

"You shouldn't turn your back on an enemy." Zebstrika said, charging at Bluebell. However, she jumped back at the last second as a sword of water slashed towards her.

"And you shouldn't attack someone when their back is turned." Samurott said, holding her sword towards Zebstrika.

"Finally…" Zebstika said, smiling wildly. "I've been waiting for a powerful opponent."

"Now then, what will you do now?" Mandibuzz asked Sora, laughing hysterically, Sora staring at Aurore in shock.

"Master!" Sora exclaimed, running towards Aurore.

"Oh, no you don't!" Mandibuzz shouted, charging towards Sora. "Take this! The full power of darkness!" Mandibuzz hit Sora in the stomach and sent her flying backwards, Mandibuzz standing over her.

"Dark pulse!" Mandibuzz said, holding her hand over Sora, creating a barrier of darkness around her body, locking her out from the world.

"Not good." Sephiria said, frowning.

"Whoa, when did you get here?" Lulu asked, shocked.

"This… Is not good." Sephiria said, frowning.

"No…" Sora said, looking around at the darkness she was surrounded with. "I can't stop it anymore…"

What's wrong? A voice rasped into her head. Do you think you can win this all on your own?

"No…" Sora said, clutching her hand as the darkness smothered her. "Please, stop…"

Don't you want to avenge your master? The voice asked. Don't you want to take revenge? Didn't you care about him? Just give me your power… Your body… And I shall kill everyone in your way…

"What…?" Mandibuzz looked down at her sphere of darkness, which began pulsating, and shrinking.

The darkness took a shape that outlined Sora's body, and absorbed itself into her, cloaking Sora in an aura of darkness.

"So… ra…?" Bluebell asked, worriedly.

"AHAHAHAHA!" Sora exclaimed, throwing her head back, laughing maniacally. "I'M FREE! I'M FINALLY FREE! THE POWER OF DARKNESS… IT IS MINE ONCE MORE!"

EoS: So, Sora has become controlled by the darkness. What does this mean?

Lauren: …Like they're going to know.
