Toru: Un-motherfucking-believable. Those fucking monks ruined my plans! Master Chase is going to be so disappointed. I don't know how this could get any worse!
Me: Then I probably shouldn't tell you that you have to tell your origin, huh?
Toru: *sighs* god I hate you so much.
Me: You'll get over it. Remember I own nothing but my own characters.
Previously:
Toru stopped in her tracks because she knew that cavern lead straight down the bottom of the ocean, and the chances of her getting it back were slim, like winning-the-lottery slim.
"Don't you dare." She said growling.
"Then you better tell me what you did to our weapons the, witch, unless you want to say 'goodbye' to your sword." Riamundo threated by to doing a fake-out of dropping the sword.
This was embarrassing as all hell! Toru had let the monks get the upper hand! Thank god Chase couldn't see her continuing failure right now. "You drop that sword then we're all screwed, besides I already told you I didn't do anything to your weapons"
"Wrong answer."
Rai dropped the sword.
"NO!"
Toru ran after her sword knocking Raimundo to the side into a nearby tree, denting it. Toru tried to grab the hilt of the sword but by millimeters missed and the Sword of Slayers was lost. So not according to plan.
Chapter 14: Getting to Know You (part 1)
Chase Young's Lair
Chase was watching from his all seeing eye and was not pleased. Seeing Toru succeed would have abled him to continued his plan in taking over the world.
'Curse him! Now our mate is trapped! We should skin him alive for humiliating our mate!'
'As much as I agree with you we have more pressing matters, without the sword she cannot return'
Chase summoned Hitomi to his throne room.
Hitomi walked up to her lord's throne with her tail swishing from side to side. She looked up and saw that Chase was less than pleased.
Hitomi gulped nervously, "Yes, Lord Chase?"
"I want to know what Toru told you to do case her mission failed."
How did he know? The only ones that knew about her plan were Toru, Hitomi, and Jack but she didn't even tell him the whole plan. In any case Hitomi shook trying to play it off-bad idea.
"I don't know what you're talking about, my lord."
Chase and his beast were already pissed, but to hear Hitomi lie about it sent his beast over the edge and he transformed.
"Do not lie to me! I've known about this sense the begining and the monks have insulted me by humiliating my mate! You will tell me what she told you!"
Bermuda triangle-Spider Island
Toru was horrified as to what just happen; her only means to escape the island was lost.
"Do you have any idea what you've done?!" she shouted.
Raimundo lifted himself up after he was flung into a tree.
He groaned lightly, "Yeah, I won."
Toru growled in announce as the other monks finally caught up. They all panted from exhaustion, he being the dragon of the wind he was naturally faster than his friends.
"No you didn't win, retard, you've royally fucked us!" Toru cursed.
"What is she talking about?" Kimiko asked.
"Incase you haven't caught on by now you bunch of numb nuts, magic doesn't work here kiddies. Good, bad, or the other!"
Dojo snapped his little claws we a light bulb finally went off. "Oh yeah that's what's wrong with this place."
"If magic does not work here then how come you were able to put us under a spell." Omi asked skeptically.
"My sword was forged here before the barrier creating the Bermuda was created so the spell would'n't have affected it." Toru explained.
Rai glared at Toru hatefully, "Don't act like the victim, you were going to leave us here stranded here."
Toru gave a half smile, "Yeah I was, but now none of us are leaving so get comfortable." She walked away.
All the monks were stumped as to what to do next, Dojo hasn't been able to fly sense they landed and none of their shen gong wu was working. So all they could do would sit on the beach and think about what to do next. Toru on the other hand had to talk to Aranea.
"Wait, what? I thought you wanted me to kill them." Aranea asked confused.
"I do, but because of that idiot, Raimundo, I lost the Sword of Slayers in a cavern."
Aranea was flabbergasted. Lost? She lost the last heirloom of her island? She didn't know who to be mad at-no wait, yes she does-Raimundo! Toru went through a lot of trouble to get that sword and knew she wouldn't lose it on purpose.
Aranea let out an long sigh, "Ok so what do you want to do with them?"
Toru thought about it for a second and came up with a new plan. "I would have no problem of building a boat that could get me back to Miami, but building something that's able to handle the current will take weeks and Master Chase is expecting me back in 2 weeks and I don't have the time to make an able boat by myself."
"So you want to use the monks, is that it?" the spider queen asked and Toru nodded "Luckily for you I saved the supplies from the boats you wanted me to 'disposed of'" she chuckled, "Bet you wish you could take that back."
Toru was going to say something in reply to her snide remark but decided not to. "Just get the supplies to the beach by morning. Bye, spider queen."
The warrioress left as Aranea waved her fingers, "Bye-bye."
Toru made it back to the beach by night fall and she saw the monks next to a fire that Kimiko had made. She was about to walk away until Kimiko saw her.
"Hey, Toru take a seat. Its a lot warmer over here." The dragon of fire offered.
She-she couldn't be serious after everything she did, why was she still being nice to her. the girl must be brain damaged.
Raimundo on the other hand was not as accommodating. "Whoa! Hold on. After the stunt she pulled today you want to invite her over?!"
Well at least one of them had sense. The monks argued for what seemed like forever and Toru decided 'fuck it' and sat with them, better than hear them argue all night. Not like it helped everyone was so tensed that no one was talking. So Toru decided to break the silence.
"So no one's going to ask me any questions? My being here is really that weird, huh?" Toru said with a smirk.
Clay looked at Toru intensely, "Yeah I got something to ask; what was the whole reason for bringing us her and poisonin' me and Omi?"
"Ah, so do want to know. Well this is the Bermuda triangle after all and its famous for ships, and planes entering but never leaving. I was expecting the flight here to kill you, but of course you got that dumb luck that heroes get and had no problem making it here. But I'd be an idiot to rely only on nature to finish you off, so my plan was to get you here, land, and get stranded. Its all that simple. Next question."
Raimundo was seething and was about to cures toru out until Omi intervened.
"Why do you work for Chase Young?" the yellow monk asked calmly.
"You really wanna know?"
"Yes."
"Alright. Sit back and get comfy 'cause this is going to take a while. My mother was a, newly married, club singer who had met a foreigner one night after her set was completed. Apparently he was charming enough to work his way into my mother's pants, and 9 months later she had 2 healthy baby girls were born.
My sister, Karen, was the youngest but the first to open her eyes and reviled that they were brown and my father was so proud until I opened my eyes that it. You see the foreigner my mother slept with had green eyes so you can imagine what my father thought when he saw my eyes open for the first time.
My father hated me. While my sister was showered with love and affection every time my father looked at me it was like I disgusted him. He was never made at my mother for her betrayal, nor did he ever blame my sister, but he mad sure I was reminded every day"
Flashback-14 years ago
In the living room of a small apartment, Toru's father, Royce, repeatedly beat Toru with a belt. The sound of lashing, and crying could be heard through the walls but no one came to help. While everyone else was either at work or at school Toru was left alone for hours with nothing to eat, her father always told her she was too much of a fucking idiot to go to school.
Royce hated her so much that he would take every lunch break to come home and beat Toru.
He continued to whip his daughter, who was on the floor crying her little eyes out.
"YOU STUPID, WORTHLESS, LITTLE BITCH! I CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF YOU! YOU FUCKING MAKE ME SICK YOU WHORE!"
Royce continued to shout, and beat Toru. She screamed and begged with every lash.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, daddy."
The beatings just got worse when she called him that. "I'M NOT YOU FUCKING FATHER! WHY DID YOUR MOTHER CHEAT ON ME?! WHY AREN'T YOU LIKE YOUR SISTER? WHY?! WHY?!"
Toru lived in constant fear of her father never knowing when the next beating would come, and even when she picked up the courage to finally tell her mother she didn't believe her.
Toru's living conditions were so bad that she couldn't even sleep in the apartment he father had made a deal with the land lord to give her a shed in the back of the apartments. The shed was leaky, and she could hear every sound but never the sound of someone coming to help her.
Now Toru might have been 4 but she knew that people killed themselves and the only reason she didn't was because her sister was the only one who care about her and would visit her twin everyday.
Karen knew how much Toru loved music so she brought her a boom box that her father had bought for her.
Karen looked at her twin with sweet eyes, "Here Toru, I brought you something. But I couldn't get any battery's"
Toru smiled back at her sisters kind gesture. "Its ok Karen, look what I can do."
Toru channeled static through her fingers and the radio began to play Everybody's Free (to feel good) by Aquagen ft. Rozalla. Needless to say Karen was amazed that her big sister could do something so cool and jumped and started dancing and urged her sister to join in.
As they danced Toru felt a happiness she never known she was lost in her state of bliss just glad to be near her sister. But her joy wouldn't last cause while the shed let every noise in it also let every noise out and their father heard the girls laughing and having fun and he wasn't going to stand for it.
In the middle of the night Royce broke into the shed, took Toru, and drove for hours. As he reached the next town he pulled into an orphanage with a large barbed wire fence around it.
An old nun that reminded Toru of prunes, salt, and lost dreams walked out.
"What do you want to done with her?" the mother superior asked
"Anything, I don't care. As long as I never see her face again. Forgive my language, sister but she's a little hellion."
"Oh you don't have to worry about that, we've gotten children like her before and firmly believe in the motto 'spare the rod, spoil the child'" she said with a superior smirk.
Over the next few years, except for the location Toru's life didn't change. Even though she was with other children she didn't make any friends, mainly because they teased her or because she hated them. Toru was made to cook for everyone usually leaving nothing for her to eat bet scraps and clean the orphanage everyday. Toru could cook just fine but one day she wanted to make everyone sick by putting rat poison in the food. It worked but Mother Superior got mad and 'disciplined' Toru senseless.
"You devil child! How dare you try to kill these innocent children!" the old nun shouted as she whipped Toru.
Over the years Toru had stopped crying, stopped trying to anticipate when the next beating was going to come because she knew she would get beat everyday. Also because the 'spare the rod, spoil the child' mentality didn't work on her it just made her will stronger and she became stubborn and cold.
The 8 year-old girl laughed at the nun as she stood up against her, "'Innocent'? You mean the waste of functioning organs up stairs, that you shove the bible into?!"
Mother Superior slapped Toru. "Enough! I will not here you spout blasphemy about God's children!"
"'God's children'" Toru mocked as she spat, "You fucking idiot! Shoving religion down people's throats as if its supposed to mean something! You might as well be praying to fucking Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, or a G-ddamn chair because there is no heaven or a hell, there's only oblivion. If you think there's a God then you're a bigger cunt than I thought. What god allows their father to beat their child like a grown-ass man that stole their money, not even sleep in the house like some animal? What God allows a father to hate their child from birth, shows them no form of love or caring, and then snatches the only light they had in this world? What type of God allows that father to dump their daughter in on orphanage to be bullied and beaten by not only the adults but the children too? I tell which kind-a false one! One that doesn't do want the people pray to them do no matter how hard they try! You and people like you-religious nuts-blindly follow a fucking book when you could shape your own destiny. Your idiots and you make me sick!"
Toru channeled lightning through her fingers and tazered the nun. The electricity surged all around Toru as Mother Superior watched in horror and then anger. She threw Toru in a room with one window and locked her in there. For 2 day she received nothing to eat or drink.
She hated this place and wanted nothing more than to escape.
Well someone or something must have heard her wish because a huge thunder storm came that night. The sound of thunder and lightning was overwhelming that Toru had figured that with all this noise no one would notice an escape attempt.
Toru ripped her shirt, wrapped it around her hand and smashed the window.
A raven in the distance watched her.
She climbed out from the third story window and hung on for dear life. The rain pelted Toru making it difficult to hang on. She saw a ledge below her and figured if she was careful then she'd make it. So she reluctantly let go of the window sill but the ledge was to wet and she slipped. Toru tried to grab the ledge but couldn't get a grip and stated to fall for 2 stories.
She thought she was going to die, but something awoken with in her and the lightning above saved her.
Toru woke up in five minutes with one goal on her mind-escape. She didn't know who she survived that fall but she didn't care all that mattered was that she was alive and was leaving this hell hole.
Chase had, had enough of observing from his citadel and went to go see this determined girl himself.
Toru was digging a tunnel under the fence that surrounded the orphanage by the time Chase arrived. The stinging rain constantly got into her eyes, the pounding rain kept forcing her body back, and the mud kept sliding into the tunnel. Even facing all this Toru refused to quit and continued digging.
She after about 1 hour Toru squeezed her tiny, malnourished body through the hole and got covered in mud. But she made it but there was no time to celebrate. She might have out but she knew she won't be free until she was 100 miles from that place.
It was morning and the rain had stopped, and as the mud covered girl made it up some mountains she looked back and saw the orphanage. It seemed no matter how far she went that damned place was always just behind her.
She finally made it to the peek and lord and behold, Chase young accompanied by a black panther, was waiting for her. Of course she was more than skeptical at what she was seeing this guy and glared at him with her piercing green eyes.
Chase smirked, seeing her determination, her power. There was no doubt in his mind that after what he saw last night this child was the dragon of lightning.
"Who are you?" the cold, shivering girl asked.
Chase smiled, "Chase Young, at your service."
"Okay." Toru said skeptically, "What do you want?"
"I've been looking for an apprentice lately and I've been watching you for the past few days. I see a large amount of potential in you Toru and I only wish to help you to become the best."
"That doesn't interest me."
Chase was surprised he thought on offer of power would be enough to entice her. but if she doesn't want that what does she want?
"And what would interest you?"
"I want revenge! I want to get back at my family for abandoning me and leaving me in that pit to rot!"
Chase gave a devilish smile, "Come with me and I promise you will get your revenge."
Chase held out his hand, and Toru thought about it for a second; she wanted pay back more than anything if she could show the same determination as she did last night and with this guys help then she would undoubtedly get it.
"Okay."
She took his hand and that's when it all truly began.
