Apollo- I think it is better to work slowly with the plot and background. That way, I won't blow your brains out with information.
Flame- Evil is my middle name! But I'm glad for two things-1) You said nothing of awkwardness, and 2) that you realize that this story isn't normal. Saying that it was would be a complete lie!
Wick- Make her kiss the guy? She's STILL not crazy enough? Well, I can't let her kiss that guy, because I have something planned for that one… But for the next one I promise I will think about it! I promise!
Before, you start reading the chapter, three things, 1) he isn't a Linoone. If he was, he would have white/brown hair and blue eyes. Good guess though. And 2) this chapter is in four 'acts'. Why? Um…well, I just wanted to…. And, one is written in a different point of view. (I know I'm weird, but I'm proud of it) 3) If you are a member of the Neman Rp, if you aren't you can skip this one, please know that I have closed it. We will start again in Serebii; look for anything that states 'Neman' created by 'CraziedCreator'. Also, please read the A.N on the bottom.
Life as a Neman
The Chapter That Has 'Acts' For No Reason…
Act #1- 'Prove it!' (Written in 3rd P.O.V)
As soon as those words left his mouth, pure shock appeared on both girls' faces. But only for a couple of seconds. Alyssa snapped out of her daze first. Her face darkened, and she tackled him to the ground. Since he wasn't used to fighting in his new body, Alyssa overpowered him easily. First, the whole skirt thing. Now this, his ego may never recover.
Alyssa flipped him over, put his arms across his back, and placed her knees in his back. She then said coldly, "I say execution. Athe, get my gunblade."
"Kill only when necessary." Athena responded. "But just in case," Then, her eyes slowly became a light shade of blue. She then held out her left hand. A weapon, that looked like a gun mixed with a blade, was 'flying'. Around it was a light blue aura. The same shade of blue that Athena's eyes changed into. But, the gun/blade thing flew past Athena's hand, and impaled itself inches away from stranger's nose.
He flinched away from the blade. "I just asked a question!" He started to squirm. "Why are you trying to kill me?!" He asked.
Athena's face became slightly pink. "I bloody missed, didn't I?"
"Only by a little. Next time, make it stop and then grab it." Alyssa said. "And you!" She pulled his arms farther back. "Shut up! We need to make sure you're telling the truth."
"I am! Why would I lie about where I was born?!" He yelled and continued to squirm. But Alyssa just tightened her grip on him.
"We will decide if you lied or not." Athena said calmly. With difficulty, she found the gunblade and picked it up. "What were you back on Terra?"
"I was an Absol, living in a mountain to warn a nearby village of natural disasters." The Ex-Absol explained. "I'm not sure why or how, but somehow I turned into this and appeared here."
Both girls looked at each other. That's what happened to us. They thought. Alyssa leaned forward and said in his ear. "You have to impress us." Then, she let go of his arms.
"Answer our questions." Athena said as Alyssa got up and stood next to her.
Alyssa spoke once again. "Make us believe you."
I believe that this is getting creepy. The Ex-Absol thought. How did I get into this mess anyway?
Then they said the last sentence together. "Prove that you're one of us!" They now stood side-by-side, arms crossed, and their eyes filled with interest. Alyssa's smirk seemed to say- Let's-see-what-you-can-do.
He stood up slowly, and then he remembered. "The smell!" He yelled excitedly. "That's why I'm here!"
Alyssa looked confused while Athena narrowed her eyes. "What bloody smell?"
"The sweet one! You know, the one that smells like Terra!" The Ex-Absol said. "It led me here. But it's gone now."
Once again, the girls looked at one another. "The poffin cake?" Alyssa asked.
"Maybe, no one but us seems to like it. Blasted Humans don't have any taste." Athena responded.
"Do we have any more?"
"Of course. We eat it so blasted much. It's in the fridge."
Alyssa nodded. "I'll get it, blind one. If he makes any steps back, attack the blob."
"Stop calling me that!" Athena snapped back. Alyssa just smirked and walked toward the fridge.
With a sigh, Athena got into an attacking stance. The young man gulped as the gunblade glinted in the light. Arceus, help me.
Act #2- 'Why Absol?' (Written in 3rd P.O.V)
"Hello my dear readers!" Aura chimed from her spinning office chair. She keeps spinning in her chair and continues to speak. "I decided to explain why I choose the first Neman to be an Absol. Well, I love Absol. Look at a picture of one! Don't they look like total badass? And-"
A familiar redhead interrupts her. "Miss Aura."
Aura stops in mid-spin. "Yes Ryan?"
"Boss, you're acting like a little fangirl. You need to refocus Miss Aura. Please just explain your reasoning so the readers can get back to reading." Ryan explained calmly.
Aura smiled. "Right, sorr-"
"Hey! Why are you nicer to him?" Leo cried.
"Simple. He looks like Axel, so he has my respect. You look and act like Tamaki. And it's fun to mess with people. So you are my entertainment." Aura shrugged. Leo then went sulking in a nearby corner.
Aura sweatdropped. Almost too much alike… "Anyway, I choose Absol for the first Neman (I really need to you guys his name…) for three reasons. 1) Absol is one of my favorite Pokemon.
"2) When Wick and I started brainstorming the RP; I was debating on which Pokemon Athena should be. I was torn between Noctowl, Absol, or Luxray. Noctowl won, but I still wanted the other two involved somehow. Absol became the first FanFic Neman, while Luxray became one of my guards in the FanFic.
"3) I also needed to show that the Neman doesn't have to look so much like the Pokemon. I needed to show that they look more Human, but they can have unusual appearances. If the Pokemon has horn(s), tail(s), no arms and/or legs, extra heads or lack of a head, they won't show on the Neman form. Well, maybe the missing limb thing, but I'm not sure.
"With the first Neman, I made his hair the substitute of an Absol's horn. One-half white to represent the fur and the other black with bangs to represent the horn. I tried my best."
Leo was still sulking in the corner. "Leo," Ryan started. "Get up."
"My boss is a big meanie." The blond whined.
"If you quit, you won't get paid." Aura said.
"You hate me."
"I don't hate you. Now get up Leo." Aura said while she started to spin again.
"Aura you big meanie."
The writer sighed. "On with the chapter. Due to Drama King's production, I might be busy for a while. Goodbye!"
The camera unfocused on Aura and refocuses on her messy desk where her scripts lie.
Act #3- 'The Proof' (Written in 1st person!)
The sweet smell came back a few seconds before Alyssa did. "This isn't poison, right?" I said as Alyssa passed me a piece. I would tell you what it looked like, but these two might kill me. So I won't. Sorry.
"Yes, it is poison." Alyssa said as she gave a piece to Athena.
"Very deadly. It'll kill you in seconds." Athena agreed and took a bite out of the cake.
Okay, so maybe it was a dumb question. But they were a little hostile. I had to make sure they weren't going to poison me.
Finally getting over my caution, I took a small bite out of the poffin cake. Then I took another and another. It was good! This cake thing tasted like an Oran berry first, and then like a Mago berry for the aftertaste. But how did they find Oran and Mage berries here? This isn't Terra. I wonder what planet this is…
"How did you find Oran and Mago berries here?" I asked. I was expecting some more hostility, but both girls smiled.
"It's good to hear Pokemon speech from someone else." Athena said softly. To be honest, I didn't mean to talk in Pokemon. Instinct I guess. "I believe that's enough proof, what about you Alys?" Finally, no more death threats!
Alyssa shrugged. "We can still kill him. He does know a bit too much." What the hell is this woman's problem? She's crazy! What did I do?
Athena sighed. "Alyssa, we talked about this. No killing people without reason." At least she's sane! I hope…
"But why?" Alyssa pouted. "What's wrong with killing without reason?" I can't believe she's even asking that question!
Athena turned toward her. "You are blasted insane. Murder equals police. Police equals attention. Attention equals detection! See it now you damn Ice type?" She reasoned in Pokemon.
Why didn't she mention that it's wrong to kill, period? She only said murder equals attention! Maybe she isn't as sane as she seems.
"Yeah, yeah. I get it." Alyssa pouted. "So, if we can't kill him, what do we do with him?"
"I assume that we can provide shelter, if he wants us to." Athena said.
Alyssa nodded and turned toward me. "Well Mr. Absol, what will it be?"
"Um…I don't have anywhere else to go…" I said awkwardly. "If you guys really don't mind…"
Athena smiled. "Yes! Our first Neman!"
"Miss. Yaoi would want to meet him." Alyssa said calmly. Who's 'She'?
Athena nodded. "Please stop calling her that. But you are right, she always wanted more models." Models for what? "Today she'll finally get her wish."
"What's a 'Neman'? Whose 'She'? And why would she want more models?" I asked. I have a bad feeling about this. But you have to take risks, right?
"A Neman is a term Alyssa created!" Alyssa said in 3rd person. "It means 'New Human.' Which a 'Human' is what we are now, we Ex-Pokemon."
"I'm not sure what Alyssa talking in 3rd person around you means, but I hope that she doesn't decide to kill you. That would be most unfortunate." Athena said with a small smile. "Xlesa is a friend of ours. She's a wild child, so be prepared."
"I don't have much experience with children." I said honestly.
"Neither did we, until we met her." Athena said. She was still smiling. Athena must love this 'Xlesa' a lot.
"*We're off to see Miss. Yaoi! The very annoying Miss. Yaoi!*" Alyssa sang.
I wonder why Alyssa calls her that. What does 'Yaoi' mean anyway? I would have kept asking myself questions when someone grabbed my hand, by someone I meant the psycho. I looked over; Alyssa had Athena's hand too.
"Close your eyes or I keel you!" Alyssa said with a lunatic smile. Since she's a psycho killer and gave me a choice, I closed my eyes. I like to live. I may be in a different planet, be stuck in a different, weak body, but I still like to live. So I obeyed. Deal with it.
"Sorry about Alyssa." Athena's voice said. She had to be right next to me for her voice to sound so close. "She's different, but don't worry. We've been friends for many years, so I can calm her irrational mind. Or attempt to at the very least."
Then, I felt Alyssa pull my hand to the left. She then let go of my hand only to grab it again seconds later. She truly is different, she's psycho different.
"It's fine." I found myself saying. "Everyone is different. If everyone were the same, this would be a boring world. It's the same as Terra. Everyone is different."
"Others may not be as accepting. This is why we must keep our secret. No one but those who live under this roof can know our true past, our past lives. We must pretend that they never existed." Athena said with no emotion. For some reason, Alyssa's voice seemed farther away. But I knew that she was still singing the same two lines repeatedly.
"What do you mean Athena?" Alyssa's hand moved again to hold my left wrist. Another hand moved to my shoulder. I barely felt its weight.
"Be careful, there are stairs here. You can put your right hand on the wall if you wish." Athena warned. "I mean that some Humans do not accept difference. Either they fear it, or they make fun of it. So it's better to not trust strangers. So don't tell anyone, or Alyssa and I will hunt you down."
"I won't. I promise." I have to remember to not mess with either of them. "You're very wise."
"Thank you. I promise to not abuse my knowledge."
"How can you abuse knowledge?" I asked. "Isn't knowledge unabuseable?"
"I'm not sure 'unabuseable' is a word, but no. Knowledge is very abusive. Beings with both knowledge and a hunger for power are very dangerous. Without knowledge, beings with only a hunger for power can be stopped quickly. But with knowledge, they can be assumed unstoppable, thus no one will try to stop them. That is why I promised. I refuse to be wise and power hungry, so if I do become that way for any reason, attack me. I told Alyssa the same, so you will have some help." Athena said.
"…" I lost my words. I don't think I heard anything like that. I never heard anyone willing to say that if they made a mistake to attack them. Athena looks so young, I think, yet she seems much older. I'm not sure what the Humans call 'young', but she seems so full of shy, calm, wise energy. Athena seems young to me.
"HEY! Miss. Yaoiii! Open the dooooor!" Alyssa voice sang. She sounded way too sweet. If I was this Xlesa, I wouldn't open the door. I would rather run.
Bang! Bang! What the hell is that?
"And it begins…" Athena sighed. Why does Athena's voice sound closer than Alyssa's? Bang! Bang! "There's only a few more stairs. Then you can open your eyes."
I nodded. "Thank you for taking me in, both of you." Bang! Bang! "Do I even want to know what is making the sound?" Bang! Bang!
"Xlesaaaa! Open the dooooor!" Alyssa sang. Bang! Bang! "Open the door or I will keel you!"
"I believe that by now you should be able to realize the cause of that sound." Athena said. Bang! Bang!
So it is Alyssa. But what is she doing? Breaking the door down?
"Miss. Yaoi, oooopen the doooor." Alyssa still sang. Bang! Bang!
"STOP CALLING ME THAT! I will open the door when you stop hitting it! What are you trying to do, kill me?" A young girl's voice yelled. It must be Xlesa.
"There, no more stairs." Athena said calmly. Like this was completely normal. "Thank you for guiding me. Without my glasses, I can't see a blasted thing."
"Guiding you?" I said as I opened my eyes. I looked to my left, and there was Athena. Her hands were still on my shoulder and wrist. Bang! Bang!
Athena nodded. "When Alyssa ran off ahead, she gave me your hand so I wouldn't fall. You didn't notice?"
"Uh…N-no." What's wrong with my face? It feels a little warm. To distract myself, I looked around.
Bang! Bang!
Yup, there was Alyssa; banging on a large black door, with another weird looking weapon. It was about an arm's length, brown, and had gray things on it. The walls around the door were gray stone. The whole room had an old-fashioned feeling to it.
Bang! Bang! "Damn it Alyssa! I won't open the door unless you stop!" Xlesa yelled. "So stop already!"
Alyssa took a step back and relaxed the arm that was holding the thing. "Okay!" She chimed.
Xlesa still didn't open the door. "It's safe Xlesa." Athena said.
Only then did the huge door move. A young girl with white hair and light blue eyes opened the door. So this is Xlesa. To be honest, I imaged her differently. Older for one thing, taller for another, and less Reshiram looking.
Then, Xlesa looked at me, blinked and opened her mouth to say…
Stop! Yup, this is the end of the chapter folks. I hope that you enjoyed it. Before I forget, whoever can guess how Alyssa sang this first- 'We're off to see Miss. Yaoi! The very annoying Miss. Yaoi!' can make their own little Neman. So, try your best! Oh Leo? Yeah he's still sulking. Oh well. Anyway, please review and await the next chapter! Until next time!
