AC: Here's the new chapter.
Episode 8: Catastrophe at the ball
2 days before the ball: Lao Shi Electronic shop 14h50
The ball will soon begin and Jake hasn't found any girl to go with him. He was too late for that so he must try to find a girl outside the school. He didn't know who he can ask so he was at the end of his hope when the days end.
"Dammit, I can't find any girl. I will be a loser when I'll come there alone. Trixie and Spud are going together…the same reason as I." Says Jake to Abel.
"I don't know any girl who can help you and…it's the same about the dragons' girl. I didn't find anything. Sorry." Says Abel. "Well, I'll go with Ryu finding a tuxedo since you'll be occupied." Then Abel walks away in his human form.
"I can help you." Says Fu Dog.
"For real!" Says Jake.
"Yes. We will just have to go to the M.C.B." Says Fu Dog. "…On second thought, not there. You're under 18. I guess we'll go to the M.Q."
"…What those acronyms mean?" Asks Jake.
"M.C.B means mythological creatures bar and M.Q. means Mythological quarter." Explains Fu Dog. "The Mythological quarter is a place where mythological creatures of any age came to talk among each other's. All groups of mythological creatures go there…except Orcs and Elves…They have their own space."
"I guess I have no choice but to go there." Says Jake.
"What are we waiting for, let's go." Says Fu Dog.
M.Q.: 15h06
"Welcome to the M.Q. quarter." Says Fu Dog.
Jake saw all the mythological creatures he could image…he also saw some humans but they appear they are not ordinary humans.
"Brooklyn!" Shout Jake.
"Hey there." Says Brooklyn.
"What are you doing here?" Asks Jake.
"I'm trying to find a gift for the girl I invite for the ball. I decide to come here…It's more… exotic for the humans." Explains Brooklyn.
"Good. I guess I should be going now." Says Jake.
"Bye…I take a gold rose please." Says Brooklyn to the merchants.
"He's a lucky one too." Says Jake.
"Don't worry, you'll find a girl…let's try Sasha." Says Fu Dog.
They go inside a restaurant and they saw all mythological creatures eating strange food.
"This is Sasha." Says Fu Dog. "Sasha comes here please."
"I'm coming…Fu Dog! I told you to never come here again." Says Sasha giving him an angry look. It was a teenage girl who has the appearance of a cat. She has blue eyes and also blue fur. She has 2 cute cat ears and the dentition of a cat. "I'm too young to go out with you and you're a sick pervert and a liar. I'm not like the stereotype of a stupid cat girl OR a stupid girl in general. It's the man the TRUE IDIOT!"
"Nononononononono." Says Fu Dog. "I come here because my friend Jake needs help. He doesn't have a girl for the ball and I propose to talk to you first."
"Sorry but I can't. I must help my parents with my job and I don't like passing as a human. It's not because I don't like them but because I just don't like being a human. It's way too freaky without my tail." Explains Sasha. "Have a nice day."
Jake and Fu Dog get out of the restaurant. Jake looks at the name of the restaurant, the name was: The little Cathy.
"Don't worry Jake, this is only the first try. Let's try Succubus." Says Fu Dog.
"Euh…No I don't think so." Says Jake.
"Do not let the stereotype of the religion affect your judgement about demons. They are really nice when you know them…except Lucifer when he's drunk. You don't want to be in his path when he cries about his past and hit you in the guts if you try to silent him. Do you understand? If you ever see a drunken Lucifer run fast. Also, like we said, there's nothing better for a party than a demon." Adds Fu Dog with a smile.
"…Alright, I'll take that in note when I need a great party." Says Jake nervously.
"So…I guess we'll try the twin oracle." Says Fu Dog. "There always walking on the street. I'm not sure why? Here they are!"
"They're cute." Says Jake as he saw the twin.
"Hi there twin." Says Fu Dog.
"Hi. Do you want to know when you will die?" Says the happy one to Jake.
"You'll find a girl for the ball." Says the grim one.
"You will have diarrhea soon." Says the happy one again.
"But it will subside before the ball." Says the grim one.
"Whoa Whoa. What's going on?" Says Jake.
"I've told you their twin oracles." Says Fu Dog. "The happy one is Sara. She sees the bad stuff. The grim one is Kara. She only sees the good stuff."
"From their emotion, I've suppose it will the opposite…WAIT! DIARRHEA!" Says Jake.
"Yes." Says Sara.
"AWWW MAN!" Shout Jake. "…At least I'll be better before the ball."
"Yeah and you're friends Abel will meet someone that will break Abel soul's and the soul of the breaker will also be broke." Says Sara.
"! I got to go." Says Jake. He was nervous about all of their words.
"We will try someone else." Says Fu Dog.
"Did you hear what Sara says?" Asks Jake.
"Yeah, your bathroom will be a biohazard for a day." Says Fu Dog.
"NOT ABOUT THAT! About Abel." Says Jake.
"We will have the answer one day." Says Fu Dog.
"Hi there." Says a girl.
Jake turns around and saw a normal girl…maybe; he's in the M.Q. after all.
"Hi." Says Jake. "How are you?"
"Fine. I hear from Sasha that you need someone for the ball. Also, she has something for Fu Dog I must deliver." Says the girl.
"What is it?" Asks Fu Dog excitelly.
"This." She then put some powder at Fu Dog and Fu Dog began to scratch non-stop.
"Argh! Not that powder." Fu Dog then continues while the girl talks to Jake.
"So I decide to help you. I want to go for a ball…I never go to a ball and this is a nice occasion." She says. "My name is Heather."
"My name is Jake."
They talk for a while and Jake decides to return home. He was happy to find a girl for the ball. Jake forgot to ask what mythological creature she is.
One day before the ball: Sewer: 17h48
"Ryu! Did you really see a dino scout in the sewer? Because I didn't." Complain Abel. The smell of the sewer was intolerable for a dragon like Abel. "It's even worse than Jake diarrhea."
"I know so stop complaining."
"I don't see him yet."
"I see it. He's hiding somewhere."
"I see him too." Says Abel. "Let's hide for now."
"Dammit. It stinks…Urgh. Where shall I go now? If I made the map of the sewer, we will have average against the human when we will begin the war. *Keuf Keuf* Dammit. I have the smell on my mouth."
"…He's not the only one." Whispered Abel.
"All right now…dammit, lost again. Those sewers are labyrinth. I must find a way to explain sewer is out of options…bringing him here should be good but he won't move until the invasion. I'll try to explain it to him and if he's mad, I'll return here and try this again…*sigh* after my beating." Says the Scout. He then walks away.
"Let's get out of here." Says Ryu. "It's useless to stay here."
"Once where home. I'll take a shower." Says Abel.
"Sorry but right after me." Says Ryu and get out first.
Dammit. Thought Abel.
All he has to do is get ready for the ball.
The D-Day: Millard Fillmore Middle School: Gym Room: 18h00
The moment was come for them. They came to the ball and were ready to have fun. Trixie and Spud were together. Abel and Celerina where together. Abel tuxedo was a nice one, with the small amount of money he has for the budget.
"Where's Jake?" Asks Abel.
"He says he'll wait for his girl and he'll come." Answer Trixie.
"Al…right. Let's go." Says Abel.
Jake's home: 17h55
Jake was waiting for Heather. He was nervous because his mother and his father was wondering who it might be. As for her sister, he knows she will give him some trouble. The door rang and Jake opens it. It was Heather.
"Hi there. How are you doing?" She asks.
"Fine, let's go before-"
"MOM. DAD. JAKE GIRL CAME!" Shout Haley.
Jake's mother and father came.
"Hi there." Says his mother.
"This is the lucky girl." Says Jake's father.
"Hi." Says Heather with a smile. "I'm the lucky girl."
"Hey, did you know that Jake's chamber is a little chaotic, that he's like to eat with his hands that-" Says Haley.
"That's enough Haley." Warns Jake.
"You're a funny child." Says Heather.
"Let me take a picture." Says his mother. She then took it. "You're so cute in your tuxedo."
"Mom!" Says Jake.
"Go there and have fun. Don't go too Far." warns Jake's father.
"Wha-n-n-n-no...I mean…I don't understand what you mean." Says Jake.
"Haha. Let's go Jake." Says Heather.
Millard Fillmore Middle School: Gym Room: 18h15
Abel was dancing with Celerina, but she wasn't a good dancer. She steps a few times on Abel's foot. Abel didn't mind that, he sucks too and he even step on Brad's foot a few time, 1 time on 2 it was on purpose.
Trixie and Spud was sitting somewhere and weren't having fun at all.
"I think we should stop dancing." Says Celerina. "I don't think your foot can take much longer."
"If you say so." Answers Abel with a smile. She didn't know he has dragon endurance.
They rejoin Trixie and Spud when they saw Jake made the entrance with a girl who never came in this school.
Everyone was watching this girl who was more beautiful than anyone could think.
"Let's go dancing." Says Heather. She took Jake arms and they begin dancing. Heather was a good dancer and Jake spends a good time with her. Heather knows Jake wasn't in love with her, he told her this on the way to the school, but she likes him. He was honest to tell her this. Also, She didn't tell Jake but she can easily read mind.
After a while, they decide to rejoin Jake's friends sitting around a table.
"I didn't know you were such a good dancer." Says Abel.
Heather enters into his mind and saw something oblivious to her. Celerina has a big place in his heart. Abel keeps his dragon identity a secret to her, but Abel feel a little guilty about it…no…more like extremely guilty. Heather didn't do any commentary or opinion since Abel was following the law and keeping his secret was understandable.
Brad was watching Heather for a while until he decides to talk to her.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Says Rose. She was angry and she knows what Brad was about to do.
"Talk to a beautiful girl." Says Brad. He then walks away.
"You're such a bastard. Don't ever talk to me again!" Says Rose angrily and she means it. She gives him a chance because she pities him and he just dumps her like that. That's enraging her, but she decide to do nothing.
When Brad was close to them he said:
"Hello there beauty. My name is Brad and if you want to spend a nice night, come with me."
Heather gives him a dark look. She began to read his mind and all she sees was bad actions. She just saw that he dumps his girl like garbage.
"You're a little bastard." mourns Heather.
Brad was continuing trying to charm her but all Heather feel was disgust the more she read his mind. Then she saw the day Brad humiliate Celerina. Heather was mad now.
Then Heather releases a light energy and all humans in the ball lose consciousness. The exception was Jake. The others who were conscious were Abel and Brooklyn. The other mythological creatures didn't come to the ball.
"WHAT HAPPEN?" Shout Brooklyn in confusion.
Suddenly light begins to appear on Heather's back. Then, wings appear on her back and she begins to fly. She made a light swords appear in her hands.
"AN ANGEL'S HERE? HOW?" Shouts Brooklyn.
"Brad…for the sins you're committed I shall give you dead." Says Heather.
"What! STOP!" Shouts Abel. He changes into his dragon form and pushes Heather at the other side of the room.
"Don't stand in my way. He must be punished by dead." Says Heather with angry eyes.
Jake change himself into his dragonknight armor and took out his Halberd.
"Heather, stop this." Says Jake.
"I'm sorry Jake but he's done too much things to receive redemption." Says Heather. Heather then flew to Brad's direction but Jake stand in her was and Heather begins to attack Jake.
Jake blocks her swords but Heather easily pushes him out of the way and traps him in luminous rope.
Abel appears behind her but Heather punches him at his face and also traps him with the same rope.
Only Brooklyn was on her way and Heather did the same to him.
The result of the small battle was a total mess for in the gym. Chair, table drinks, for their age, food and etc. were on the floor.
The 3 of them were trap and can't do anything to stop her.
Heather was about to kill Brad when Jake shouts:
"STOP! Let him live." Says Jake.
"You want me to let a monster like him alive." Says Heather with angry voice.
"No, but…he will break his life anyway. He's just a hollow as a human." Says Jake.
"Let him destroy his life." Says Brooklyn. "This punishment will be better than killing him."
"But what if he kills someone because I let him live?" Says Heather.
"You can't be sure of what he would do in the future. If you kill him, you'll regret it one day." Says Abel. "Trust me! Let him live. I know he's a bastard but do not put yourself at his level or even lowlier."
"…" Heather was silent. She was thinking about their argument. "Fine." She then withdraws her sword. She then releases them.
"I'm…sorry. I didn't want to cause you trouble Jake." Says Heather once she calm down, regretting her actions. Her original intention was just having fun.
"It's alright." Says Jake.
"Now…can someone explain why an angel is here?" Says Brooklyn.
Heather explains everything and Brooklyn was satisfied by her explanation.
"Alright." Says Brooklyn. "Jake…Abel, you must know that angels cannot live directly in the human society like this night. You see what happen. Angels have a very strong sense of justice and if the sinner is evil or consider evil, they will immediately try to kill the guilty one."
"Got it!" They both answer.
"I'm sorry. I should have tried to behave myself but I fail." Says Heather. "I didn't really want that to happen, but when I read his mind I…totally lost control of myself."
"It's alright…I think we should wake them up." Says Abel.
"Yeah. We can't let the ball end like this." Says Brooklyn.
"Wait! Now that I think about it, I'm a human but…why didn't I lose consciousness like the others?" Asks Jake.
"That's an effect of our pact. You have a little part of my power by the links and you receive my immunity against some spell and curse." Explains Abel.
"Then you were immune by that spell." Says Jake.
"Yes…well…all mythological creatures would be unaffected by that spell." Answers Abel.
"Short explanation, but the link can do more than that." Says Brooklyn. "That will be up to you to discover it. Conversation's over, you can reawake them now."
Abel, Heather and Brooklyn turn into their human form and Heather put an end to her spell.
Everyone regain consciousness and was confused by the destruction in the gym.
Every student decides to clean up before they are in more trouble, if some adults find out and the ball was averted by this. No humans knew what happen. If they knew, they wouldn't feel so guilty…except some bad students who just walk the way out if the others didn't give them a dark look when they try to get out unnoticed.
The ball end bad, but the students evade the worse from adults and they return home, exhausted by the cleaning.
Jake, Celerina and Abel return alone since they live in the opposite direction that their friends. Heather return with Brooklyn.
On their way home Celerina took Abel away from Jake and she was in front of him before she goes on her way.
"Abel…You forgot something." She says.
"What did I forget?" Says Abel in panic.
"This." She then gives him a kiss on his cheek. "I spend a wonderful night with you Abel. Even with the surprising end but…next time, it will be only the 2 of us."
"You mean on a date?" Asks Abel uncertain.
"Of course. You're a wonderful man." She says.
"We will check this out later." Says Abel.
"Good-night."
"Good-night."
Celerina walks away and Abel returns to Jake side.
"So?" Asks Jake.
"We're in love." Says Abel.
"Already…that was fast." Comment Jake.
"I know but…I can't resist her." Says Abel on their way home.
AC: It's the end of catastrophe at the ball. The end was abrupt but I ran out of idea for this chapter.
