Beijing: Republic of China
Amelia Watson
Watson stumbling as she is running in the building and aiming her pistol around, looking for wherever place that chibi Ame should be hiding.
She opens the door, microwave, refrigerator and even a can of cereal in order to searching her target.
But there's no use. That small Ame seems to be disappearing in the thin air, and Amelia is starting to lose her minds trying to find it.
" Come on! Where are you?" Ame yelled, carelessly waving her pistol around the room.
" You think that just because you are a copy version of a perfect human being like me, mean that you can act like asshole?
No! Just get here and let me smash you with my VP70 and get this over with. Okay?" Ame shouting at the empty house, since there's nothing she can do right now.
The world still keeps running backward. Amelia even seeing one house start breaking back into a wet cement and wooden plank, before flying back into the construction car
where it belongs to.
If this keep up maybe they will go back long enough to see the found of Beijing or something like that.
Amelia pulling her hair in frustration.
After finish watching, she turns her attention back inside the room again as the chibi Ame slapping her face hard enough to make her seeing a star.
" Do that again and I will-" Before Watson could finish her sentence. The small Ame slapping her again, this time hard enough to knocking detective off her feet.
Ame kick back, but the small gremlin seems to predict her movement and dodge it effortlessly. It then kicks the side of Amelia's knee, make her falling again and hitting her
head against the wooden floor.
Ame struggling to get up as the chibi Ame is jumping backward on the table, so their height is matched now.
Some warm liquid is flowing from her head, so Ame touches it. Winces when seeing her own blood, it probably coming from the wound on her head.
" Calm down, Ame. Only a fresh wound! You got this. You got this." Ame reassured herself before looking at the little gremlin again.
" We are not done-" Chibi Ame slapped her cheek two time, knocking Watson back near the glass windows.
"… You know what? Let's call it a draw-" Small Ame then jumping with its two leg and drop kicking Amelia, send her body crashing through the glass window.
…
Momosuzu Nene
Nene swinging her staff and aiming it at Buffson's leg, but the giant jumping out of it range and kicking at her. She has time to block it and quickly jumping up to kick
Buffson's face.
But despite the size of it, this monster moving with incredible speed, it is grabs Nene leg before slamming her against the car that parking nearby, before trying to stomping
her head off if she didn't retreat from the attack in the last second.
Nene use this chance to regaining her balance one hand and kicking buffson ear, sends the shocking wave from her attack right into its brain.
As buffson moan and shaking from being hit, Nene swinging her staff in 180 degrees and hitting both of the thing's legs, knocking it on the ground at last.
Nene then swinging her staff again, aiming to crush its skull this time. But buffson grabbed the attack its hand, pulling her closer with one swift moves and punching Nene's
belly with its giant fist.
This is not a normal punch. As this beast is being born from ANTI, master of space magic power. Its fist can create many kind of deadly spells. And the one it uses this time is
'soul pusher' Which is the technique from Necromancer magic to separate living body from soul.
As soon as its fist met the target. Nene's soul is immediately flying out of her body, leaving only still breathing empty shell to be dropped on the street.
Buffson picked Nene up by her hair and dragging mountain dweller somewhere, it seems to have an idea of what to do next with its enemy's body.
…
Amelia Watson
Watson falling is being stopped by the pile of garbage bag that somebody leaving near the building. So, her bone is safe from being broken, but the crashing is still hard
enough to make her unable to walk properly for a while.
So, Amelia decided to crawling with her arm away from this place before chibi Ame would know that she is not death yet.
As she is crawling passed the video player store. A voice suddenly coming out of the speaker that laying on the shop shelf.
" Watson! Get in here!"
It's Nene voice, so Amelia decided to follows. After that, she managed to rest her back against one of the tables inside the shop and looking around, but there's no sight of
Nene anywhere.
" Hello? Where are you?" She looks at the speaker again, but it stay silenced, as if what she heard is just some kind of hallucinations.
The microphone behind her suddenly making a noise, so Ame looking at it instead.
" Okay, I will get straight to the point. My soul is being pushed out of my body right now. I just turning some of it into an electric power in order to talk with you." Nene voice
explains.
"…What do you want?" At this point, Ame didn't bother to ask why and how.
" I want to borrowed your body. Just a few moment" Nene answered.
" How-" before Watson could asked, the shop door suddenly swing open as chibi Ame is walking menacingly towards her.
""F**k"" Ame and Nene said at the same time.
" Quick! Or you want to being ground pounding by it?" Nene voice is panicking now.
" Okay! Okay! How can I do that?" Ame quickly put pistol inside her coat pocket.
" Just thinks that you allowed me to join your body, and it should be fine." Nene explained.
Watson close her eyes and imagining a picture of Nene standing beside her. " Get in. Quick!"
Chibi Ame running straight at her and jumping, ready to smash.
Amelia's eyes open by its own as she jumps up and spinning kicks small Ame right in her face, sending the little gremlin to be crashing against the shelf of video player and
television, making it all fall down.
" Woah! Can my body do that too?" Amelia trying to speak, but her mouth won't move as she is running on all four out of the shop before start climbing, running on the wall
in a few second.
" Hey! What are you going to do with my body?" Ame protested.
But her body is still running like wild animals as Nene is controlling it.
" To save my body. Sorry, but I am dying right at this moment!" Nene sound getting inside Amelia's head somehow as she is jumping back on the street and keep on running,
following the smell of Nene's body.
…
Buffson finally finds its target, a Chinese restaurant that have a giant fish tank filled with lobsters inside.
Buffson open it and dropping Nene's body inside watching in satisfaction as water start pouring into her nose and mouth. In a few minutes her lung will be filled with water,
if those lobsters that keep crawling on her body didn't tearing her face off first.
The reason why it bothered to do this is because, mountain dwellers are one of the hardest things to be killed (excluded star people and undead for obvious reason).
If you didn't crush her into a pancake as watcher do. There is no guarantee that she will not coming back.
But mountain dwellers have one weakness. Living in mountain area that lack of water, only thing that make them weak is water, since their lung didn't evolve to even holding
its breathe a little bit underwater and they never know how to swimming properly. Perhaps the best way to kill mountain dweller is to throw them in the deep waters,
Iike what Buffson is going to do.
Buffson realized that something is coming from behind. So, it quickly lowering its body to dodge the attack as a piece of brick being throw at it. The block then crashing with
the lobster's tank instead, break open the thing and let Nene's body and many lobsters falling out of it.
Buffson didn't have time to look as she is punching at the newcomer with full force, but Nene inside Ame's body dodging it in the last second and shooting her pistol through
the coat, causing the 9 mm. Bullet to piecing through Buffson thigh as they are passing each other.
" This is f**king cool!" Ame yelled inside her own head since she can do nothing but cheers right now.
Buffson stumbling a little, but quickly gaining back its balance before running at Nene's body, trying to destroy it.
" Don't even think about it!" Nene controlling Watson's body to grabbing buffson's arm and twisting its fingers, making the monster cries in pain as she repeatedly swings her
knee at its stomach.
After smashing her elbow at the back of Buffson's head.
It's seem that Nene is actually winning this fight… before chibi Ame is jumping at her from behind and grabbing her back, and with one black flipped, throwing Amelia's body
on the ground.
Amelia gets up, but Buffson is already here and punching. Nene's sense inside her body making the attack missing as she kicking its heel, crushing the bone as the giant
staggering away.
Nene controlling Amelia's body to get up, but chibi Ame is jumping at her and crash its head with Ame's body, knocking her on the ground again.
" You couldn't win against two of them! Get back inside your body!" Ame yelled at Nene inside her head.
She quickly controlled detective body to crawling at the laying Nene with super speed, throwing away some lobster that keep crawling on her, and start transferring Nene's
soul back inside her own body.
This progress is hundred times easier when you have two body linking together instead of just one floating soul trying to go inside empty body, which is why Nene has to
asked for Watson help in order to do so.
Buffson running back at them and kicking, aims to kills both of them in one strike, but Nene who quickly opened her eyes kicking the detective away before the attack could
being lands.
Nene spinning her body to dodge the attack and sinking her claws deep inside Buffson thighs, aiming where the bullet hole is located.
The giant's body twitching like crazy as Nene manages to knock it down and punching Buffson's face with everything she has, crushing its nose.
…
Ame struggled to get up as chibi Ame is walking toward her.
" Ah shit! Here we go again." Amelia chuckled.
Watson pulling her pistol out, thinking of putting it inside her mouth for a moment before changing her mind and put it back inside her pocket.
" Come here. you little sh*t!" Amelia finally remembering that she is time traveler after all, at least before this thing even born.
Let's see what can Ame do if she actually concentrates?
Watson running at the gremlin, concentrating her time to stopped and finally seeing chibi Ame slow down a little. She then punching its pouting cheek with her Watson fists,
knocking the small beast down.
Watson running and stomped it with her feet, but chibi Ame seems to be moving faster than what her eyes could even focus as it is punching her face, knocking Ame's down.
Ame slacks jaws, is this thing can actually manipulate time like her? This is probably a reason why she couldn't shoot it in her earlier fight.
Ame trying to concentrate again to get a better chance, but the chibi is already jumping at her with full speed, punching Ame face.
…
Momosuzu Nene
Nene punching again, but Buffson dodged it and grabbed her shoulder before slamming her against the floor and trying to kick her, but Nene stopped the attack with her own
foot as both being pushed away from each other.
Nene and Buffson quickly jumping to get up and raise their fist.
Both punching each other at the same time, their fist crashes with super speed. Buffson using its usual 'soul pushing' punches.
But Nene has something else in her sleeves.
She pulls Nekko out and hold it like a doll. This thing is a creature that looks like a small brown roots' vegetable with face and small arms and legs on it.
The creature is very hard to grow and need a very long time in order to growing it. But it's values worth the effort.
Nekko is like a panacea that can do almost anything. From killing depression to reflecting any kind of magic attack.
Some even claimed that it can revive death people, but nobody can prove it. Though, everyone know that it can cured those who have a near death experience in a matter of
seconds.
The reason why Nene didn't use it before is because how rare it is.
In order to creates one Nekko. You need one person to take care of it seed with nothing but love and devotion. Wait for that person to dies and Nekko will be fully grown.
Some saying that Nekko is actually the soul of its caretaker that being trapped inside the plant.
So, Nene only creates growing Nekko by giving its seed those who knows all of that above information and still want to taking care of it. Which is not that much.
But there are still some, like those who have fatal chronic illnesses and want to have at least one meaningful thing in their lives.
Nene and Buffson's fist met each other. The punching that should have pushing Nene's soul out of her body being stopped as the Nekko open its mouth and screams the
word'Husbando' .
Releasing sonic wave that reflects Buffson's punches.
As Buffson is being pushed back by its own force. The monster soul suddenly coming out of its body, as if Buffson has been punching itself with 'soul pushing punches'.
The giant's body is dropping on the ground, only its moving chest indicates that it's still alive.
Nene watch with tearful eyes as Nekko in her hands is slowly turning into dust, leaving only one seed behind.
" I hope you can find the better life next time. Husband number 2,543." She said a quick eulogy before putting the Nekko seed back inside her sleeve.
She then pulling another one of her toothpicks and turn it into a giant staff that bigger than electric pole.
" Sorry, but I am not gonna wait until you find a chances to get inside anyone body." With one swing, Buffson's body is being crushed like a bug under someone boots.
While its soul is gone back to the cycle of life and death.
…
Amelia Watson
Amelia can dodge chibi Ame kick in the last minute, but not the following punches that get into her chin. Time traveler falling on the ground and rolling away instead of
getting up.
How can she support to beat this thing, if she is the one who being beaten all the time?
Watson wonder what she needs in order to know it's movement, being a fortune teller perhaps? Someone who can looking into the future and told the outcome.
Wait a minute. Wasn't she is someone who have time traveling power? Why can't Ame predict it too? Or at least see if she can moving forward.
Ame is being concentrated again, not at what she is doing right now. But what will happened in the future. Her minds start reaching the picture of chibi Ame who running at
her in slow motion.
What will it do next?
Punching, from the left.
Ame clearly sees a pictures of her being punches in the left cheek by this small gremlin, her skull will be crack against the floor in a few seconds, ending this whole fight once
and all.
And that will happen if you don't move your ass over here!
Ame jumping in the right side of the street, dodging the attack in last minutes and burst out laughing when seeing the looks on chibi Ame face.
" Not this time. Sucker!" Ame sneered.
Chibi Ame moving again with incredible speed, but Ame knows where it will go.
High kick, at my face.
Ame lay low and let the monster jumping pass her before kicking its back, sends it flying and crashes against the building wall.
" Not so hard to fight when I can see your movements, huh?" Amelia said mockingly as chibi Ame shrieking in rage and running at her. She dodged its random punching two
times before punches back, sends her fist right into its nose.
Chibi Ame falling on the ground, but Ame grabbed its neck before she start punching it with what left of her energy.
Little monster punches back and hit Amelia wrist hard enough to make she let it go, before wrapping its arms around her armpit and flipping, trying to ground pounding Ame
at the spot.
Watson stopping the falls by her own leg and doing a 180-degree spinning, throwing the chibi Ame on the ground instead.
Blonde gremlin disappear in a seconds before appearing again and grabbing Ame legs, spinning her body like a wheel, midair.
Ame kicking the wall to slow down her falling, wrapping her leg around chibi Ame and do a reverse black flip.
" It's ground pounding time!"
Ame yelled and flipping her body in the air for the last time, aim precisely for chibi Ame between her leg to be crashed against the street ground first.
The attacks crushing its skull against the concrete with her perfect movements.
As both dropping on the ground and struggling to get up.
Watson realized that one of the buildings near her is not yet to finishes repairing during this whole time reversing crap, it's bricks and steel frame is still mixing together along
with paints and concrete, perhaps the construction company is lazy or something.
Amelia quickly running at chibi Ame, knowing from her future vision that it will trying to lay low and kick her leg.
So, Amelia jumps upward and kick the gremlin face instead.
The monster falls down but refuses to give up as it is jumping in the air and doing a black flips again.
Watson kicking the still-moving bricks and doing the black flips with the same speed, both crashing each other's back, but detective bigger body and mass win at last and
pushing the little gremlin to be crashing in the middle of steel frame and bricks that still running over its body.
Before the little monster will be completely buried inside the building walls, Watson pointing her gun at the chibi Ame.
" Any last words?" She asked.
Chibi Ame looking at her, before giving the loudest hiccup Watson ever heard in this life.
" Good." Ame said before pulling the trigger, she didn't look back as the building finally fully repairing itself with one new inhabitants body inside.
…
Not long after the defeats of two monster, Amelia realized that the time finally stop reversing. The sound coming back to the city like how it should be.
People start walking around in normal pace, there is no dead and destruction anywhere.
Someone touching her shoulder, made Ame flinched.
" Calm down! It's me, Nene." Momosuzu Nene said before Watson could pull her pistol out.
" Phew! So, you win the fight after all. But where's Ina!" Ame asked curiously.
Nene shook her head. " No idea. But there's so many people here. Let's stay low profile and looks around first."
After moving around the crowded city, they finally find Ina'nis sitting near the street light pole, her hair and chin are being cover by frozen ice like she is cosplaying as a Santa
or something.
" Ina! Are you Daijobuokay?" Ame waves at her shaking friend.
" I am not… feeling Daijobu." Ina'nis sneeze even after Watson wrapping detective coat around her body.
" Where is the watcher? Did you kill her?" Nene questioned.
" Let's find somewhere warm first. I don't want to see my friend dying from Pneumonia." Watson insisted.
…
After get in the nearest hot pot restaurant within their sight.
Ame pushing Ina to sit at one table where there is already having big pot with gas stove under it, while Nene reassured the waiters that everything is alright.
"Sorry to bothering you, sir. My friend um… ate too much ice cream." Amelia apologized the costumer that sitting on that table first, he nodded and looking in disbelief at the
melting ice around Ina'nis face and shoulder.
With two cup of hot tea, blood start running back to Ina'nis face.
" So, where's watcher?" Nene asked.
" Don't know." Ina shook her head.
" We fought in Antarctica and I teleported back here before getting shot by her beam, if she didn't get out of there fast enough.
She probably turning into ice statue now, that place is so cold."
" If she is still alive, she probably comes back now. So, I guessed-" before Ame could end her sentences, Beijing night sky is suddenly shine as the giant portal is open above
the city.
"""F**k""" Nene, Ame and Ina said at the same time as they quickly running at the street.
On the city ground, Watcher is standing and shakily waving her hand around, even though her clothes seemed to being frozen from her time at Antarctica.
" The end… will come… for everyone… but can someone… give me a blanket?" White priestess could hardly talk now since her blood is almost turning into an ice.
Before Ame could decide whether to give some blanket to her or not, a shadow at Watcher's feet is wrapping itself around her and when it releases its grips.
All of the ice is gone.
" Good! Let's continues then. The ancient one is coming, and nothing can stop him now." Watcher declared.
The portal finally open as the giant hand crawling out of it, along with the tentacles that seem to be enough to block the whole sky.
"Stop!" Ame yelled at the thing, and everything around her seems to be stop for a moment before going back to normal again as the beast is continuing to move.
" Why?" Ame exclaimed.
" Ancient one has power over time too, at least a little, enough to defending itself around your power." Nene explained.
Giant legs finally stomping on the city and releasing a burst of energy changing everything including watcher and her shadow beyond recognition.
This is not a destructive power like bomb and such, it is a space controlling power, everything that gets into its ways is being turn in molecules level by the power of the
ancient one.
Concreate city and giant skyscraper is now turning into an ancient stone with millions of barnacles, mussels and oysters living on it.
Air turning into a deep dark water that flooding all the city in a few seconds.
Human being is turning into a tentacles monster with human eyes and face. They are swimming around and said the word 'WAH' eating what look like a chocolate chip cookie
with an ease.
" This is the 4th WAH. The end for every lifeform to be sinking under the waves of ancient one's dreams. We are too late to stop them now!" Nene collapsing on the ground as
the wave of reality changing power is running at them.
" No!" Ina'nis moving her hand in octagon shapes and creating an energy shield that stopped the waves before it would reach them.
But right now, there are only three of them left, since the 4th WAH is already turning everything else into a takodachi and under water city.
" I couldn't hold it for long!" Ina yelled as her power is being drained out like a water going out of the pipe.
" What's the point." Nene hugging her own knees and cries.
" We're done now."
Ame yanking her up on her feet again.
" Listen here you little sh*t! Aren't everyone of your husband is your student? You promise to protecting them and guide them to the right path! Then why the f**k does you
give up when one of your student is still keep fighting? There are a lot of useless adults in this society, we don't need one more from you!" She shook Nene's shoulder in
frustration.
" Okay! Okay! I am sorry! But what are you going to do?" Nene snapped back to the reality at last.
" Don't know. But if I keep going back in time…" Ame pulled her pocket watch out and look at it with serious expression on her face.
" Wait! Is that?" Nene grabbed Watson hand and turn the clock over, seeing cover crystal that's being attached to it.
" This is Warden of Time clock! Where did you get it?" Nene stare at Ame face in astonishment.
" Huh! Uh… treasures from my ancestors. I guessed." Ame looked surprised.
" That's mean your family has some kind of connection with warden of time, the council member herself!
We can win this fight after all. Go and talk to her!"
" How the hell I am supposed to do that! She might just want to eat me or something. Aren't council is trying to destroy this world or something?" Watson yelled.
" There are rules." Nene shook her head. " And it is cannot break.
Of course, you couldn't just knocked her door and demanded her to do anything. We need to convinced her a little bit."
" Whatever you guy are planning. Make it quick! Or all of us will be turning into a takodachi before it could even start." Ina'nis yelled, seeing that her barrier is slowly breaking
under the pressure of ancient one power.
Nene rushed in and moving her hands in bear shapes, fixing the breaking barrier with her magic power.
" How am I supposed to meet this Warden of Time anyway?" Ame asked.
" Keep going." Nene answered. " Until the beginning of everything. That where you will find her."
" And how am I supposed to convinces her?" Ame asked again.
" I got an idea. Listen closely" Nene gestured at Ame to come near her.
…
After finished discussing their plans. Ina'nis gave brown detective coat back to Ame .
" Here, I don't need it anymore." She said jokingly.
" If I screw up, everything will be gone. Do you really trust me that much?" Ame trying to ignore the tears in her eyes as she is wearing her coat and injecting every last drop
of her power boozing drugs inside her body.
Ina'nis smiled. " You are my friend. And that's enough." After one awkward hug with her friend, Ame is ready to run again, she looks at Nene who smiles for the last time.
" Go ahead, Ame. Creating a better future for us all."
" If I can meet you guys again, reminds me that I own you one big nice meal." Ame start running at the spot, readily her lungs.
" See you again." Ina said at last and Ame quickly running in the opposite direction from them without looking back.
There is a breaking sound of the barrier exploded behinds her.
Amelia Watson didn't stop running or bother to looks back. She told herself that water that keep pouring down from her face is just a sweat.
