Chapter six: Missions
Megumi and the others we're approaching a skyscraper. Their mission was to retrieve a CD from a safe on the 26 floor.
Megumi looked up and down the building "Tch! Piece of cake" she said before she started to whirl round a rope with a hook at the end. "Tachi" she called. "When I say 'now' Use your alice to lift this hook as high as possible" she ordered Hayate (Hayate Matsudaira [kamaitachi-windsickle] Alice – air control) "Yes." He replied wearily. She whirled the hook and let it go at the topmost point and shouted "Now". Hayate used his Alice and there was a gust of wind and the hook caught on the top floor.
"It's a thirty floor building, so we need to break in through the fifth window from the top" she said as she started to climb the building. She broke through the window using her feet, but she set off an alarm. "Shit!!" she exclaimed before she turned to the others "Keep them busy till I return, and please don't get captured OK?" She said and left through a door on the left she didn't find any one blocking her path. This intrigued her; she kept a watch out and continued on. At last she found a safe; she used her Alice to burn down the safe door and got the CD. She kept the CD in the pouch around her waist and made her way back.
But before she could take even a single step she was surrounded by about 40 men in black suits. "Ha! You fell for our trap" "So you are the academy's new assassin The White Princess?" "We've got you" they said.
Megumi was thinking fast whether to burn them all to ash or not. Reo then came out from behind those guys and looked at her. "Don't worry you will be better off with us" He said.
All the men started attacking her as Reo watched "Tch!!" She said and started throwing fireballs in all directions. She'd got almost half of them down in about two minutes. She continued fighting them and slowly backed away into the room Natsume and the others were fighting in. She reached the room and by now she taken down almost everyone except a few. She saw the others and shouted "I got the CD. Let's get out of here" She shouted.
She was about to join the others when Reo caught her From behind and placed a knife on her throat. "Ha! One move and………" He said maliciously. Natsume and the others looked at her but before they could do anything, "No need" Megumi said they were all shocked to see her smiling. Just then she vanished from that point and appeared behind Reo. "I could never be defeated by the likes of a weak person like you" She said before she hit him behind the neck and made him unconscious. The others were startled as they saw her step over Reo and place a hand on his head. There was some purple light around the point of contact and she removed her hand after a minute. "Are you gonna keep staring or move on?" she asked
They all got out the way they came in. At the bottom of the building Persona was waiting for them "Took you long enough!!" he said. "You didn't tell us the anti Alice organization would be here" Megumi spat. "I didn't? Must have slipped my mind." he drawled. "Let's get back to the academy" he said. They reached the academy and the dangerous ability special class room. "Well, now that that's done you may go" Persona said.
"Wait!" Hayate said. "We don't want to work with someone who conceals things from us" he said.
"Ya" Rui joined in. (Rui Amane Alice – curse)
"What is your alice?" Hayate asked.
"Hmph!!" she said. "You never really let me introduce myself and now you blame me for not telling you my Alice?" she flared up. A white ball of fire appearing on her palm.
"Stop that Megumi" Persona said. "Megumi is a double alice user. She has Fire of hell Alice along with mimicking Alice. She can mimic any alice that she sees once" he explained.
"Any alice she sees once?" Rui exclaimed.
"Yes" Megumi said exasperatedly. She suddenly created a great wind. She slowed it down and created a big cloud of black smoke. She was about to blow the big cloud of black smoke with the wind….. "Enough" Persona said.
Rui and Hayate were shocked. Megumi cleared the smoke and said "There, happy now?"
"Class dismissed. You should leave now" Persona said. Megumi watched as the others piled out. After everyone left, she turned to Persona.
"Persona…" she called. "Yes?" he said turning round. "I……. you should visit her with me" she said. "Hm…." Persona said. He was studying her. "Please" she added through gritted teeth. Megumi and Persona left together to visit someone.
