A black backdrop.
This lasts for quite a while before some voices come in.
"The lips! Cue the lips!"
"What lips?"
"The lips that sing the opening song! Where are they?"
"Um...I was meaning to tell you about that."
Music begins building up in the background as the arguing continues.
"WHAT?!"
"They aren't working. I tried, but I couldn't make them work!"
"What th' #$^$ 's goin' on?"
"The lips are malfunctioning!"
"God@#$# idiots, y'need to plug it in first."
Pause, slight thunk noise.
"There we go. Morons."
Slowly, a pair of lips comes into vision. It begins to sing.
Tenchi Masaki got mad the time when his dad
Told him to screw six or so girls
And Duo Maxwell flew a suit in which he looked cute
Vash the Stampede wasn't all that bad

Then for all you betrayers arrived the Slayers
And they said somethin like this for a tad

The lips fade away.
"I could've figured that out."
"Shut up, y'#^#$in' moron."
~~~
Confetti floated through the air as joyous shouts of congratulations and good luck showered upon the newly wed couple as they left the church. Particularly noticable among the crowd were two boys, one with blond hair, one with black hair.
The happy married couple stood together, both with scruffy brown hair. The one in the elaborately decorated wedding dress giggled to himself.
"I'm going to throw the bouquet! Is everyone ready? Can you help me, Red?"
"Of course."
The blond-haired boy rushed forward to join the crowd that was already milling about, shrieking for the bouquet. The bride laughed, turned under the guidance of his groom, and threw it over his head. It seemed to float in the air before it landed in the blond-haired boy's arms. He was ecstatic.
"I caught it! I caught it!"
The groom nudged him, smiling at him and the dark-haired boy standing next to the happy victor.
"Well, looks like it's your turn next, eh?"
The blond-haired boy blushed happily, as did the dark-haired boy next to him.
Everyone waved cheerily as the decorated car slowly pulled away. The blond-haired one smelled the flowers he had just caught.
"Isn't this romantic, Drak-sama?" He sighed. "Radic and Red...I knew they were going to get married someday! And that dress Radic was wearing was lovely! I just love weddings."
Drak, the black-haired boy, waved after the receding car.
"Well, Teishi, there's might not be the only wedding coming up."
"What's that supposed to mean, Drak-sama?" Teishi knew perfectly what it meant and blushed to prove this.
"Well, Teishi..."
"Yes, Drak-sama?"
"I...I just want to say..."
"Yes, Drak-sama?" The flowers Teishi had been holding were now getting rather crushed in Teishi's arms as he was tensed under the emotion of the moment. Drak looked kind of awkward.
"I really loved the...skillful way...you beat the other girls...to the bouquet."
Teishi blushed wildly and buried his face in the flowers he was holding. "Oh, Drak-sama..."
Music grew behind Drak as he took Teishi's hand away from the bouquet. His voice was strong.
Also while he was singing, what appeared to be a fox and a cat in various farmer-like attire would echo each of his lines with "Teishi". They both totally ignored this.
The facility was large, but you led me
When I was hungry, you fed me
In fact, the very day that you met me
I've had one thing to say and that's Oh gee, Teishi, I love you!
Teishi blushed wildly, but Drak kept singing.
When I was lonely, you stood by me
When I was hurt, I would guide me
When you stared in my eyes, that was to me
The moment I should've said Oh Gee, Teishi, I love you!
While Drak has been singing, the pair have been wandering into the church where the recent wedding has taken place.
Drak dug a hand into his pants, pulling out a small black box. Teishi stared at it in utter surprise and delight as it opened.
Here's a ring, to prove I'm not lying
There's only one way that this love can go
Even if we're alive, sick, or dying
Oh, Teishi, I love you so!
While Drak attempted to put the ring on Teishi's finger, Teishi compulsively twitched due to a minor malfunction in his emitter. The ring fell to the floor, but before anyone could move the cat-creature used her tail to pick up the ring and handed it back to Drak.
"Thanks..." He nodded to the cat creature, who said nothing.
Drak put it on Teishi's finger, who promptly began crying in happiness. Both of them rushed out to where the remaining stragglers of the wedding were hanging about, Teishi showing the ring to everyone nearby proudly while Drak blushed.
Finally, Teishi turned back to Drak and took his hands in his own. His voice was soft, but pleasant in a strange way.
If only I knew what was in store
If I would simply stay by you more and more
But I always was scared you'd hit the floor
When I told you Drak-sama, I'm simply adore you too!
The fox and cat were still following them about, although they echoed Teishi's lines with "Drak-sama."
The happy couple stared at eachother, Teishi brushing some joyful tears from his eyes.
Oh, Drak-sama...
Drak was still blushing to himself.
Oh gee...
Teishi again took Drak's hand. The two were gravitating closer to eachother at each passing moment.
I adore...
Drak stared down at the smaller boy.
Teishi...
Teishi smiled at him.
You!
Drak smiled back at him.
I love you too.
The two hugged eachother, looking off into the distance. Together their voices joined for a moment.
Which means there's only one thing left to do!
Drak led Teishi towards their car, singing while he walked. The fox and cat continued to follow them, keeping their echoing lines going.
So let's go see the man who was kind to me
When I was confused and lonely and blind to see
That you were the one who truly loved me
May I say it again? Oh gee, Teishi, I love you.
Oh gee, Teishi...
Teishi was blushing at this. He stood on his toes so he was almost level with Drak's eyes. He put his arms around his neck.
Oh, Drak-sama, I simply adore...
Drak was blushing wildly now.
Oh gee, Teishi...
Their last line came at the same time.
I love you!
While the fox and cat clapped in the background, Drak and Teishi shared a kiss underneath the beautiful sunset.
"It's a yaoiful world!" The cat cried. The vixen took the rake she was holding and smacked the cat over the head with it.
"Just RUIN DA MOMENT! Sheesh! Anyway, we gotta get ta da castle now."
"Ow."
The two ran off, leaving the couple behind. Not that they particularly cared at the moment, as they were still kissing eachother.
~~~
Our next scene opened in a respectable office, where a familiar black-haired man with a long ponytail was sitting at the desk.
Dr. Dowasure tried to look serious and failed. He put a hand to his mouth, trying to remember his lines.
"I would like, uh, if I may-"
"You may!" A sarcastic voice called from the sidelines. This simply put more pressure on him, causing him to begin to stammer slightly while he tries to remember.
"...to take you on a strange journey, I think. It seemed a fairly ordinary night when Drak and his fiancee Teishi, two...uh...normal kids, left...uh...uh..."
"Th' weddin', moron!" The voice was irritated now.
"Right, the wedding to visit a Prof. Denka, who...uh..."
Another pause. He turned to the sidelines. "What was my line?"
"Was their #$%&in' friend, y'idiot!"
"Right, right. Their friend." Dr. Dowasure was getting slightly unnerved by the growing annoyance in the helping voice's tone. He tried hard to remember, which resulted in him forgetting more.
"Um...there were storm clouds..."
"Adjectives, please!" A different voice said this, this one female and harsh. Dr. Dowasure rubbed his head.
"Um...heavy, black, and pendulous."
"Very nice."
"Shut up! What th' #%^$ are you doin' here?"
"I thought he needed help."
"Get th' @#$# out've here!"
"And...they were driving towards them...and...uh...line?"
"Their spare tire was #$^$ed up!" The annoyed voice again was back to it's customary post after a brief struggle.
"Right. They had a really bad spare tire...but...uh...they didn't know that."
"God...this's gettin' worse by the minute...why'd we get th' stupid Doc t'do this?" The annoyed voice seemed on the verge of walking away. Another female voice, different from the previous, spoke in response.
"He's too cute ta be all violated and stuff. So I put him here where he's safe."
"Y'#$^#in' weird vixen."
"I couldn't let my adorable little Doctor get hurt! I love him too much!"
"What about me?"
"Soshi suggested yer part, not me."
"#^$#in' fox an' cat..."
Dr. Dowasure was blushing wildly as he tried to continue, no longer trying to keep the dramatic pauses that he previously had.
"And it was a night they'd definitly remember!"
A sigh from off camera."For how long, y'#$^#in' idiot?"
"Um....a very very very long time!"
Dr. Dowasure was so pressured now that he hid under his desk away from view, blushing furiously.
"I think we should cut him off 'fore he #$^#'s it up worse. Cut to th' action!"
~~~
"Jeez!" Drak watched as a motorcycle zipped by their car with incredible speed. "You'd think people would be a little more careful in the rain like this."
Of course, the fact that Drak was under-age to be driving was totally ignored by everyone involved.
"It's like they don't care about their own lives, Drak-sama."
"Life's pretty cheap to that type." Drak was still looking at Teishi, who was blushing. "I know the value of life now."
"Drak-sama-"
A large explosion interrupted Teishi's words. After a few stunned moments, Drak sighs deeply.
"Great, we have a flat. That's just perfect. And my spare tire isn't any good..."
"What are we going to do, Drak-sama?"
"Well, there was that castle down the road..."
"But..."
"We don't have anything else we can do." Drak shrugged helplessly. "We might as well ask and see if we can use their phone."
Teishi seemed reluctant, but eventually got out of the car, a magazine held above his head in an effort to stop the rain from soaking him. It didn't work. Drak didn't even try to keep himself dry.
The two ran as quickly as was safe towards the castle they had seen. Pausing in front of the large iron gate, Drak stared at a bright white sign.
"Beware. Keep out." He read off. Teishi looked around.
"I don't like this, Drak-sama. This is getting kind of weird."
"Look! There's a light over there!" Drak pointed near the castle. "There ARE people there. We can call a tow-truck and go to Prof. Denka in no time at all."
The two turned to eachother, adoration shining in their eyes. Slowly, music began to cresendo behind them, climaxing with Teishi being the first to sing.
Of all the mad things
That occured tonight
I really might
Have guessed that here we are
Trapped within a very confusing star
Drak shrugged as the two continued to stare at the light in the window in the pouring rain, neither moving away nor towards it.
The two joined their voices in an almost comedically extended line.
Well we might...
The rest of the cast, who were hiding around waiting for their cues, joined in with the two at this point.
Risk our lives and go to that place
Again, Drak and Teishi continued their duet.
Yeah, we might...
The cast joined with them again, this time with a slightly sarcastic tone.
'Cause we need to for the plot to take place
Drak and Teishi held hands in the pouring rain.
Well we just might tonight
'Cause standing in the rain is really a fright
As the castle came clearer into view, a figure was visible at one of the windows, staring with his frightening pupil-less, purple-blue eyes downwards at the two standing in the road who apparently haven't noticed that it was raining. He picked at the ragged tuxedo he was wearing and looked incredibly irritable as he sung with a rough voice, marred with an accent.
Oh, why th' #^$# am I here?
Singin' in this song?
Aw god#^$#it
He turned back to the two in the road, clenching his fist angrily. Purple and blue energy begun to flow around it.
An' what do those idiots know
I can see 'em a mile away an' man, it makes me want t'shoot 'em
With all my might
With all my might
Drak and Teishi were oblivious to this threat to their safety at the moment and continued singing together, extending their words far more then necessary.
Well we might...
As usual, the cast joined with them.
Risk our lives and go to that place
Drak and Teishi stared into eachother's eyes.
Yeah we might
The cast's voice again became slightly sarcastic.
'Cause we need to for the plot to take place
Drak and Teishi hugged and then stared confidentally at the castle in front of them, not noticing the figure in the window. The cast continued singing.
Well we just might ...we might!
Drak and Teishi joined to sing the last line.
'Cause standing in the rain is really a fright
The two barely managed to dodge out of the way as a speeding motorcycle nearly mowed them down.
"Are you okay?
"I'm okay, Drak-sama. Let's go now. I'm cold and wet."
"Come on."
Drak put his arm around Teishi's shoulders and the two headed up the hill.
~~~
Again, Dr. Dowasure tried to look serious and failed, because he's just too darn cute.
"Stop manipulating the script, Zar!"
Sorry.
Dr. Dowasure adjusted his glasses. "So it was pretty lucky for them to find that castle place, wasn't it? Now they had found the help they needed..."
Dr. Dowasure tried to look dramatic in the tense moment that came after that, but eventually he turned to the side lines.
"Or had they." An annoyed voice sighed again. Dr. Dowasure snapped his fingers.
"Or had they?" He used an overly dramatic tone when he said this.
~~~
"I don't like this, Drak-sama. This is beginning to kind of scare me." Teishi shivered on the porch.
"Don't worry so much. They're probably just some normal people with a very large house having a normal party."
Who greeted them at the door drove that thought away quickly.
There was a silence.
"Um, hi." Drak decided to break the silence first. He held out his hand to shake the strange butler's, but he didn't take it. Awkwardly, he retreated it. "Our car down the road blew out a tire, so we need to use your phone. You do have a phone, right?"
There was a silence before the butler spoke. "Yer #$^$in' wet."
Teishi spoke in the slight silence that followed. "Yes. It's raining, sir."
Another pause as the butler apparently studied them with his strange eyes. Finally, he stood to one side.
"Come in. Th' master's havin' a party for her friends at th' moment. Yer #$^#in' lucky y'came when y'did."
The cat-like creature from before, now dressed in a maid's outfit, slid down the banister. Unfortunately, since this banister did not have a end piece, she flew off onto the floor. She still laughed, however, as she scrambled to her paws.
"I'm lucky, you're lucky, we're all lucky!" She laughed hysterically.
Before Drak and Teishi could say anything, music seemed to appear out of nowhere, and the butler hung around a clock that had rather disturbing images of some giant creature, with large fangs and six legs, around it. Again, the butler sang with the rough, accented voice.
It's #&$*in' crazy
So don't take me for lazy
'M only three years old
But y'better listen #*&$ close
The Cat-like maid jumped into the song with gusto.
'Cause he'll shoot ya, ya monger!
As if in an effort to emphasize this, the butler pulled a revolver from within his coat, causing Teishi and Drak to take a step back. He stared at them meaningfully.
..An' I won't blast ya in th' skull.
He then shrugged carelessly as both him and the maid ushered their two newest guests toward the ballroom, where the sounds of large party could be heard.
I remember
Blowin' up #^$# for a sort
Of irrationally *#&%in' violent spin
Th' spark was lit in me
The cat-maid and the butler grinned evilly as they placed their hands on the door leading to the room. Drak and Teishi exchanged glances.
An' th' urge was now callin'!
Drak and Teishi gaped as the door was flung open and dozens of reveling party-goers could be seen jumping around, waving various weapons. They all sang in unison.
Let's get violent again!
Let's all get violent again!!
Teishi nearly collapsed in Drak's arms in surprise. The scene flashed to Dr. Dowasure, who was sitting at his desk looking puzzled.
You just...umm...
The irritable voice came back.
LOAD A GUN, STUPID!
Dr. Dowasure snapped his fingers.
Right! Load up a gun
The party-goers were singing with all their might, each holding a gun. Drak and Teishi tried to get out of firing range.
And then you aim and hold tiiiiight!
Dr. Dowasure smiled as he realized he's remembering his lines.
Watch out for its kick...
The Party-goers each fired their guns with a loud pop. Drak and Teishi breathed a sigh of relief.
But then fire with all yer miiiight!
And watch stuff get destroyed
Wherever you goooooo!
Let's get violent ya' know!
Let's get violent ya' know!
The Cat-like maid was apparently swooning over the butler, who was swearing repeatedly due to the fact someone had stomped on his foot.
Aw he's so frackin' dreamy..
But he'd quite quickly kill me
So here you don't see me clingin' to him at all
But in another dimension
Where violence wasn't his intention
I'd never let go
No never at all!
The maid and the butler stood jubilantly in front of Drak and Teishi, who were beginning to get frightened. The butler held his gun upwards.
With a weapon in yer hand...
The Cat-like creature giggled happily.
You get irrationally violent, man!
He hugged his gun.
An' y'won't let it leave you again
The Cat-like creature was giggling hysterically.
It's so #$^#in' trippy!
The butler turned irritably to her.
Stop actin' so *#&%in' dippy!
The cat-like creature looked embarrassed momentarily, but the other party-goers largely ignored this.
Let's get violent again!
Let's all get violent again!
Then the blue-haired vixen from before, who was now dressed in some kind of sparkly purple leotard and a top hat, appeared. She was wearing bright tap-shoes on her paws and hopped on a table, singing incredibly quickly with a surprisingly strong and low voice.
Well I was writin' a fic and havin' a drink
When somethin' smacked me in da head and made me think
I spilled my Sunkist and what a surprise!
It took me a minute ta fully realize
There was blood in da story and gore in my head
Now about a thousand people are dead!
She finished with an elaborate tap-dance routine which sent her reeling into one of the tables. The rest of the party, as usual, ignored this.
Let's all get violent again!
Let's all get violent again!
Dr. Dowasure still looked mildly confused.
You just load up a gun, right?
The irritable voice shouted at him.
RIGHT!
The rest of the party began singing again.
And then you aim and hold tiiiiight!
Dr. Dowasure snapped his fingers again.
I remember! Then you watch for it's kick!
The Party-goers again fired their pop-guns.
And fire with all your might!
And now destruction'll follow
Where ever you goooooo
Let's all get violent ya' know!
Let's all get violent ya' know!
"Um..." Teishi and Drak were slowly trying to back away from the strange partiers.
"I don't like this, Drak-sama..."
"They're just the natives, Teishi." Drak whispered to him. "We probably just interrupted one of their customs."
"I don't care!" Teishi's voice was shrill with fright. "I want to leave, Drak-sama! I'm cold and I'm wet and I'm scared!"
"Calm down, Teishi, there's no reason to get upset-"
A loud clanking behind them caused them to turn around.
A woman with odd hair was standing in some kind of elavator, looking at them with a strange, predatory look. One side of her hair seemed carefully curled, and the other side was ragged and uncombed. Teishi screamed in surprise when he saw her, putting his hands in front of him as if in anticipation of her striking him in some way. Drak managed to catch him and force his hands down to his sides, calming him slightly.
"So you've come to join my little party." Her voice was harsh as she stepped from the elavator, apparently not caring that they were in the way. Drak and Teishi barely managed to avoid brushing against her. The woman seemed to be only wearing a trench-coat and fishnet stockings. She continued moving forward.
"And you've met my servants...Cyrus and Soshika."
Although the cat-maid, Soshika, nodded respectfully, Cyrus merely swore to himself. The vixen who had crashed into the table stumbled to her paws, joining her companions.
"And that's Zarla."
"Yes, we're glad to have met you all." Drak tried to seem confident, but Teishi was hugging his arm rather tightly, his instinctual fear reaction to Dr. Kagakusha coming up strongly. "We just need to use your phone-"
The woman totally ignored him. "My name is Dr. Kagakusha. Welcome...to my castle."
Before Drak and Teishi could speak again, music again seemed to come in from nowhere. This time it was Dr. Kagakusha who was singing, her voice switching from harsh to soft alternately, as if two different people were singing.
How are you? I
Don't think you've met my
Alternate personalities
They're just slightly irate
Because I'm rather late
For letting them have control you see?
Her voice took a much harsher tone.
Now I'm let out! And I'm pretty mad
But that's not strange at all
You see I'm not just one lady
At least not inside
But you know I got split minds up the wall
Drak and Teishi stared at the woman in confusion. She abruptly threw off her coat, which Zarla caught neatly, to reveal an incredibly revealing leather outfit, complete with spikes, chains, a feather boa, and a pearl necklace. Drak and Teishi were stunned into silence.
I'm just a slightly split doctor
Who at the moment is sexual
Are ya confused yet, huh?
Drak and Teishi nodded in spite of themselves. Dr. Kagakusha's harsh voice returned.
Hey, perhaps I can take you
Maybe beat you to a snot?
You both don't look to tough at all
If you want nice and friendly
Then away you should send me
Hana's the one you wanna call
At the mention of Hana's name, Dr. Kagakusha's voice lowered with hatred. Drak coughed nervously, then tried to think of what to say. This was difficult considering that Dr. Kagakusha was walking towards the pair, forcing them back a step for every step she took.
Um...glad to know you all
Maybe we can make a call?
We sort of have to get going
Teishi looked at Drak with fear.
Um..Drak-sama?
Drak continued trying to tell her what was wrong.
We just need to call a cab
So please don't get mad...
We didn't mean to enter without you all knowing...
Dr. Kagakusha laughed for a few moments, her eyes half-closed. Her voice was softer.
Oh, somebody got stuck?
What a stroke of bad luck.
It's okay kids - don't even fret it.
If I can keep one long enough
I'll build you a car made Kaggi-tough
If you'll wait long enough that I can invent it...
She began walking back to her chair, sashaying ridiculously while doing so.
I'm just a slightly split doctor
Who at the moment is sexual
Are ya confused yet, huh?
She sat, her three servants hanging about the armrests. She studied her hands intently as she continued to sing.
Why don't you hang around a bit?
Zarla put a paw over her mouth and whispered loudly.
PLOT!
Dr. Kagakusha apparently ignored this.
Just don't act like a twit..
This time it was Soshi who "whispered".
PLOT!
Dr. Kagakusha turned her eyes back to the frightened pair.
I could show you my new pet project!
I've been making an M-2 who's tons better than YOU...
She turned to Cyrus, who promptly flipped her off. She laughed, ignoring his indignation, and turned back to her quarry.
And you may well be the first people to fight her I select...
She stood, waving her feather boa back and forth.
I'm just a slightly split doctor
Who at the moment is sexual
Are ya confused yet, huh?
The entire party shouted out loud.
YEAH Yeah!
Dr. Kagakusha ignored the attention she was getting.
I'm just a slightly split doctor
The party echoed her.
Slightly split doctoooooor
She smirked.
Who at the moment is sexual
Then she and the party-goers seemed to shout at the same time together.
Are ya confused yet, huh?
She leaned back in her chair.
So, head on over to the lab
And see what's to be had...
I see you look absolutely thrilled by the sen.....sation.
But maybe the confusion
Is really what's doin'
So I'll explain enough...
She stood and walked back to the elevator while she was singing. Drak and Teishi followed her with their eyes. She turned to them, her voice harsh again.
But not the plotline!
With that the elevator doors slammed shut.
Drak and Teishi stared at where she had been in utter confusion.
"Drak-sama..."
Cyrus and Soshika moved forward. Cyrus took Drak's coat, while Soshi took Teishi's.
"Thank you-" They felt extremely awkward, but not nearly as awkward as they felt when almost all their clothes were removed this way. Their wet clothes were handed to Zarla, who stared at the two with a mixture of sarcasm and amusement.
"What's going on? Where are we going?"
Zarla walked by, her tone icy. "Not many get ta see Kaggie's lab. Ya should be grateful. Most peeps would give their right paw fer da privilege."
"What about you, miss?" Teishi was shivering uncontrollably. Zarla threw their wet clothes into the air.
"I've already seen it!"
She walked away with all the grace a vixen could muster, her tail waving back and forth wildly. Drak and Teishi stared after her in confusion. Desperate, Drak turned towards Cyrus.
"Please, we just need to use your phone. We don't want to cause any problems."
"C'mon."
Cyrus ushered them into the elevator, where Zarla and Soshi soon joined him. It began to move upwards.
"What is your master doing, anyway, sir?" Teishi tried to ask one of those who were them, but he got no response for his efforts.
~~~
Standing almost unclothed, Drak and Teishi found themselves blushing uncontrollably as the entered the large amphitheater-like room where Dr. Kagakusha was standing, her trenchcoat back in place.
"Welcome." She called out, the crowd gathered above clapping wildly. "I'm glad you could come."
"Excuse me, I just want to use your phone-"
Dr. Kagakusha clicked up to them in her high heels, studying them carefully.
"What's your name again?" Her voice was harsh. Drak faltered slightly.
"Um..."
He decided that he couldn't be intimidated by these strange people and felt a surge of confidence. He stuck out his hand to shake hands with the strange woman, but she only stared at him.
"My name's Drak."
"Drak, eh?" She continued to stare at him. "And you?"
"Teishi, ma'am."
"You're awfully polite. Hmm...you probably need clothes." Her tone on the word 'clothes' showed she didn't think very highly of them. She took some smocks from Zarla, who was holding them out, and handed them to the flustered couple. They pulled them on quickly, although Teishi's was far too big for him. "They'll make you feel...less vulnerable, I suppose."
Drak was tired of being pushed around and not getting to a phone, plus the whole atmosphere of the party was slightly beginning to get to him. He stared angrily at the woman, bright blue energy beginining to form around him.
"You know, we've taken this long enough! We just wanted to use your phone! Is that too much to ask?"
"Drak-sama-" Teishi tugged at his master's arm in an effort to silence him. "I don't think we want to provoke these people."
Luckily, they hadn't. Dr. Kagakusha put a hand under her chin.
"Hmm. Drak. Excellent specimen of...boy-hood, I suppose."
Drak tried to ignore the praise.
"Do you have any tattoos?" She asked suspiciously. If we had been looking at Cyrus, we would have found he was putting a hand over his own shoulder, but we aren't looking at him, so let's stay on track here. Drak looked mildly offended.
"Certainly not."
"Pity." Dr. Kagakusha turned to Teishi, who instinctually shied away from her. When she raised a hand towards him, he closed his eyes and cringed, expecting a blow of some kind. It didn't come.
"And you?"
"No, ma'am." Teishi kept his eyes closed, shaking slightly. Annoyed at the woman's intimidating of his love, Drak put his arms around him protectively. Dr. Kagakusha watched this for a few moments, then turned away.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I invited you here to watch a miracle of modern science." She held her arms up. "I have discovered the secret...of life itself!"
There was wild clapping at this, including some people firing their pop guns. The minute Dr. Kagakusha snapped her fingers, however, the noise ceased.
"Presenting...the latest in the M-2 series..."
She walked to the large box-like shape near the corner, which was covered by a large drape. Zarla and Soshi took either side of the drape and pulled it off dramatically, revealing what seemed to be a normal girl , excepting the fact that she had white hair, floating rather serenely in some greenish liquid.
Dr. Kagakusha leaned against it dramatically.
"I've slaved for some time to create this perfect creature and tonight...tonight, everything will be completed!"
More wild applause and popping of guns. She turned to some kind of apparatus that was suspended above the tank of green fluid, spinning several of the dials and twisting various knobs. Slowly, a thick reddish fluid began to flow into the water, causing it to darken until the girl within was totally hidden from view.
Dr. Kagakusha turned to Cyrus, who was leaning against the wall and looking very bored.
"Start the procedure!"
Cyrus muttered to himself and kicked a lever, causing it to spin wildly.
"Faster!" She shouted irritably. Cyrus flipped her off and kicked the lever again, causing it's speed to increase.
The room began to flash with various colored lights, causing Drak and Teishi to cover their eyes. Pops and sizzles filled the air as almost everyone watched with rapt attention.
As the electricity began to fade, Dr. Kagakusha stopped the flow of the fluid, watching where the creature had been stored, not sure of what to expect.
From within the strange tank, a reddish-blue light began to flow. The blue darkened into purple as a form was risen into the air, clinging to the strange device that had dispensed the fluid.
"Oh, Kame!" Dr. Kagakusha held her arms towards her creation, which oddly enough began to sing. Kame stared at her wrist, where a beaded bracelet hung.
The bracelet of memories is around my wrist
And it gives me a feeling that my life shouldn't really be like this
Oh why was it me, my life is a mystery
Can't anyone see, I was the sister of a now-dead gym leader!
Kame hopped down from the strange liquid-producing device. Zarla and Soshi began to cut some of the bandages that were wrapped around her body, albeit both kept their eyes shut tightly. This resulted in Kame getting several nasty cuts, but she didn't care at the moment as she was far too into her song.
I woke up with a start when I was released, falling on the floor.
Everyone else present, excepting Dr. Kagakusha, Drak, and Teishi began to sing along with her.
That ain't a mystery.
Kame created a hovering vision using her psychic power of a dark-haired girl that resembled her almost perfectly. Of course, meaning back when Kame was human.
I couldn't understand, but I thought I saw this girl before
Everyone else continued to sing in a mocking tone.
That ain't a mystery.
Kame extended her three claws.
With a flash of my hand...
She swiped at the air.
Her life is no more!
She sighed and shrugged.
And all I know is that I was the sister of a now-dead gym leader!
Everyone else sings cheerfully.
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery.
Kame looked at the partygoers.
Oh yes it was!
Everyone ignored her.
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery.
Kame held her clawed hands out to the crowd pleadingly.
It was! Why isn't anyone listening to me?
Everyone continued to ignore her. Drak and Teishi were staring about, confused at the emotionlessness displayed by the party-goers.
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery.
Kame ran up the ramp leading to the main collection of people, seeming near tears.
It WAS a mystery! Why won't you listen?
Dr. Kagakusha noticed her creation trying to run away, therefore chased after her. Kame totally ignored her, even when Dr. Kagakusha tried several times to throw herself on top of her.
The bracelet of memories is around my wrist
Everyone continued to sing cheerfully.
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery.
Kame turned angrily, allowing Dr. Kagakusha to throw her arms around her neck.
YES IT WAS! STOP SAYING THAT!
Dr. Kagakusha was annoyed at the lack of attention being payed to her.
Well, really.
Kame shook her off and continued dashing about aimlessly, being followed by the scientist wherever she went.
And it gives me a feeling that my life shouldn't really be like this!
Everyone smiled and clapped their hands.
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery.
Kame turned again to the crowd.
Why won't you believe me?
The crowd clapped loudly now.
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery.
Kame looked at her hands and the bracelet around one of her wrists.
Is it because I killed her?
The crowd still ignored her.
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery.
Kame began to be surrounded by furious energy.
No one ever listens to me!
The crowd continued to ignore her, singing loudly.
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery,
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery,
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery,
Nah-nah-nah-nah, that ain't no mystery!
Dr. Kagakusha, vaguely offended at having to chase her creation around for so long, stared at her. Kame stood silently, her song completed.
"That was no way to behave."
Kame said nothing.
Dr. Kagakusha turned to the crowd. "Well?"
The main crowd clapped and cheered loudly for Kame. Dr. Kagakusha turned to Zarla.
"Well?"
"She's nice." Zarla's tone was obviously forced. Ignoring this, the woman turned to the cat.
"Well?"
"Very...nice." Soshi tried to sound convincing, but didn't do a better job then Zarla did. Reluctantly, Dr. Kagakusha turned towards Cyrus.
"Well?"
"She sucks #^#." Cyrus smirked to himself.
Angrily, Dr. Kagakusha turned away from him.
"We know what you think, jerk!"
Wanting more compliments on her creation, apparently, she turned towards Drak and Teishi.
"What do YOU think?"
"I...I don't like girls with...uh...claws, ma'am." Teishi was the only one to speak. Dr. Kagakusha regarded him silently for a few moments.
"I didn't make her...for YOU!" She raised her hand, causing Teishi to shy away from her again. She walked back to her creation.
"In commemoration of your first birthday, Kame..." At this the crowd broke into applause again, but were soon silenced. She walked over to where a wrapped package was braced against the wall. Her high-heels clicked loudly. Music began to rise again. Her voice again had the harsh edge to it.
A weakling around level two or three
Will start to cry when beaten by me...
And soon in the woods
With his hands filled with books
The cries from his mons
As he raises their paws
Will make him level...and grow
And with command calls
And just a little left know-ho-ho-ho
Her voice softened slightly.
He'll start to win
And nearly glow
Dr. Kagakusha touched Kame's face lightly, to which Kame showed no reaction whatsoever.
He'll be a trainer
Her voice abruptly became harsher once more.
Aw honey, but a lamer
He'll feed them pokechow
And apples
And beat up Pidgeys too
Try to toughen all his mons up
To beat up you know who
Such idiocy!
If he only knew of my job
Yeah in just a few days
Dr. Kagakusha ripped the paper off the large object she was standing next to. It held racks upon racks of Pokéballs, Pokéchow, training books, training dolls, and various other training equipment. She leaned against it dramatically.
I can make you a mooooon
He'll beat trainers
And leaders
Beat lil Ash
Such a jerk...
He thinks cloning monsters
Must be hard work...
She took one of the dolls and gave it to Kame, who made it blow up simply by staring at it. Drak and Teishi barely managed to avoid being hit by the flying pieces of the doll. Dr. Kagakusha laughed at this, leading her creation to one side of the room, kicking her other servants roughly out of the way.
But such foolish ideas!
If he could only understand
Because in just a few days
Oh, baby I can make you a moooon
Without any warning of any kind whatsoever, the wall on one side exploded. There was the sound of a motorcycle revving loudly, then a creature came riding out confidentally. Written on one of it's three fingered paws was "War". On the other paw was written "Yay".
Music rose loudly behind him. Before he could begin singing, however, Zarla dragged a small white creature forward and gave it her hat.
"There ya go, Eclipse. Yer Columbia now."
"What?!" Soshika stared at her as Eclipse fixed her new hat. Zarla looked incredulous.
"What, ya think I'm gonna go crazy with Mewtwo?! Gimme a break."
This whole exchange goes totally unnoticed by almost everyone else, as they are far too interested in what Mewtwo is about to do. Dr. Kagakusha for one looks incredibly offended.
WHOOOOO!
Mewtwo smirked as he revs his motorcycle again, staring at Eclipse.
"Gencey!" She shrieked happily.
Whatever happened to that fantastic fight?
Between that freakachu who shocked me with all its might
It don't seem the same since Eclipse the tyke
Came into my life
She's mommy of miiine
Mewtwo suddenly tore up into the upper floors of guests, knocking them in all directions as he continued singing without a care in the world. Eclipse followed him everywhere.
I used to look around for places to go
I'd wander the world and I never would know
I found a cave to hide in but it goes to show
Meditation calms my soul
He drove off the edge of the platform, skidding to a halt on the bottom floor as Eclipse perched on his head.
Calm and focus that's how it goes
My mother Eclipse yeah she knows
The party-goers, apparently having forgotten that Mewtwo had almost ran them over, began to sing along with him. Soshika kept shooting Zarla glares while she was singing, which Zarla ignored.
Calm and focus that's how it goes
My mother Eclipse yeah she knows
Calm and focus, that's how it goes!
My mother Eclipse yeah she knows
Mewtwo touched the Gencey sitting on his head gently. She smiled happily at him.
My head almost swam from the destruction I sewed
Everywhere I went devastation showed
I met up with her in a cave and that's when I knew
She whisper in my ear that she's a mother of mine
Cast off those chains
It's time for a change
I've gone all zen and I'm home on the range
Talkin about peace it really felt strange
But it was somethin' good
Yeah my mother Eclipse knows
Mewtwo rose to his paws, calling to the rest of the crowd to sing along. Everyone gets so into it, they don't notice Dr. Kagakusha busily cleaning a chainsaw.
Calm and focus, that's how it goes
My mother Eclipse yeah she knows!
Calm and focus, that's how it goes
My mother Eclipse yeah she knows!
Calm and focus, that's how it goes!
My mother Eclipse yeah she knows!
Mewtwo shouted at the top of his lungs.
Caaaaalm and foooocus!
The party echoed him.
Calm and focus that's how it goes!
Mewtwo shouted again, Eclipse fluttering around him happily.
Caaaalm and foooocus!
The Party sung again.
My mother Eclipse yeah she knows!
Dr. Kagakusha walked up behind the Mewtwo, who was standing on the seat of his motorcycle, his tail waving wildly.
Calm and foooooocus!
Dr. Kagakusha revved her chainsaw while the crowd continued to sing.
Calm and focus that's how it goes!
The Mewtwo was still standing on the seat of his motorcycle, oblivious to the woman sneaking up behind him.
Calm and foooooocus!
The party was oblivious to her as well or pretending to be as they continued singing.
Calm and focus that's how it goes!
Mewtwo pumped his paws in the air, his mother singing along with him.
Calm and foooooocus!
The party sung along for the last time. Drak and Teishi, apparently sensing what's going to happen, tried to call out to Mewtwo but were drowned out.
His mother Eclipse yeah she knows!
Dr. Kagakusha kicked the motorcycle out from under Mewtwo, knocking him to the floor. Eclipse flew off, startled, as Dr. Kagakusha drags the Mewtwo back into the room he emerged from.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Mewtwo's scream accompanied the whine of the chainsaw.
There was a silence. Soshika turned to Zarla, tapping her footpaw. It took a while for Zarla to notice this.
"What?"
Soshika pointed to Eclipse, who was staring with utter horror at the room where her son had disappeared. Zarla nodded.
"Oh, right." She took the hat off Eclipse's head, throwing her out of the scene. "I'm Columbia again. Okay..." She took a deep breath, then screamed hysterically.
Dr. Kagakusha emerged from the room, blood staining some of the sparse clothes she was wearing. Kame, showing emotion for once, backed away from her. Dr. Kagakusha tossed the chainsaw to one side idly, then smiled at her creation innocently.
"Oh, don't be upset. It was a mercy killing. He wasn't NEARLY as interesting as you."
A door opened within the wall, leading to what seemed to be a training arena. Or at least, a very strange training arena. Complete with a bed, which is something most training arena's do not have. Dr. Kagakusha leads Kame there confidentally. As the door closed, Drak could catch a glimpse of Dr. Kagakusha throwing herself on Kame.
"Um..."
"Crazy #$^#$." Cyrus muttered as he walked out of the room.
"She meant 'mon' as in 'Pokémon'." Zarla tried to explain. This only earned her stares. Crossing her arms, she muttered to herself as well.
~~~
Dr. Dowasure was sitting at the desk again, playing with a ball on a string and a cup. He flicked his hand upwards, trying to catch the ball in the cup. He didn't succeed. What he did succeed in, however, was causing the ball to bap him in the head.
"Yer cue, stupid!" Cyrus' voice called to him. Startled, he fell out of his chair.
"Oh! Sorry! Um...where were we?"
Cyrus descended into rapid-fire swearwords as Dr. Dowasure scrambled to get back in his chair. "Lady just ran off with th' freak."
"Lady...?" Dr. Dowasure blinked for a few moments. Then he smiled. "Right! Dr. Kagakusha! Um...let's see...what happened?"
Dr. Dowasure barely managed to duck the vase that was thrown at him.
"Okay, okay, I remember! I remember!" He brushed some fragments of vase from his hair. "Um...Drak and Teishi are really confused after Dr. Kagakusha runs off with Kame...and they...um...they get shown to their rooms, I think. Am I right?"
Another vase came at him, which he also barely managed to dodge.
~~~
Dr. Kagakusha, dressed in only what could be described as a truly pathetic Drak costume, where the only thing she did was try and tuck her hair under a black wig without much success, slowly opened the door to the room where Teishi had been led. She walked towards the bed.
"Here's your chance, Namida. Try and make it convincing." Her voice was soft. It suddenly became harsh.
"I can do this, you moron. You just take care of the Teishi bit."
She walked over to the bed, noting the lump on it.
"Already asleep? Heh...time to put my little play into action..."
She cleared her throat slightly.
"Teishi? Teishi, are you alright? I think you were right, this is a bad place. We should go! But first..." She then lept on the lump, then vaulted off in surprise. Pulling the covers away, she revealed a bunch of pillows. Confused, she stood back, tapping her shoe against the floor.
"Now where did he go...oh, you can't hide from me. I'm going to seduce you no matter what. Are you...under here?" She looked underneath the bed, but only found dust. Angrily she huffed then walked out of the room.
"Fine, hide all you want. I'll just go seduce your boyfriend."
Pulling off the black wig, she pulled on an equally bad looking blond one. She then skulked off to where she knows Drak is staying.
~~~
Meanwhile, Cyrus was studying Kame, who's sitting on the bed. She had an emitter that not only went around her wrist, but around the bedpost as well. Cyrus glared at her with utter hatred.
"Thought makin' me bleed would be cute?" Cyrus held up one of his wrists, which was now wrapped in a bandage, which was stained with blood. "Think that was funny? Well, I'll show you, y'freak-@%#$#."
Kame had been rather startled when Cyrus had entered the room, therefore had resorted to her power of recreating pain. The first one she found were the two slashes on his wrists. It was an accident.
However, Cyrus was incredibly irritable by nature and now simply had a good reason to be angry at the creature.
He noted a large candelabra standing near him, but in the end didn't take that in exchange for a large fireplace poker. He began poking the restricted Kame, laughing sadistically while doing so.
"Bein' tied up ain't so great now, is it? Stupid #^#$@. Lots of disadvantages t'bein' tied up like this, I should know. How you like that, freak-#^@#$?"
Kame made angry noises of distress, but couldn't access her power without setting off the emitter. Finally, in a fit of rage, she broke free using her physical strength, which wasn't much.
Frightened and angry, she ran out of the room. Cyrus threw the poker after her, then noted the cigarettes on the table, which quickly grabbed his attention and kept it fairly well.
~~~
Dr. Kagakusha gingerly opened the door to the room.
"Okay, this is your part, Hana. Try and sound submissive." Namida whispered to her counterpart.
"I can do that."
Dr. Kagakusha walked forward.
"Drak, I'm frightened! Help me-"
Dr. Kagakusha stopped in her tracks.
"First of all, if you're trying to imitate Teishi..." Drak pointed at the woman. "You didn't even call me the correct title, Drak-SAMA. Plus, is that wig supposed to be his hair? You're not even trying."
"What's HE doing in here?" Dr. Kagakusha pointed to Teishi, who was snuggled up to Drak's chest.
"I was frightened." Teishi blinked his large eyes. "I knew that something bad was going to happen to me if I stayed alone, miss. So Drak-sama protected me."
"I'm SUPPOSED to be SEDUCING him!" Dr. Kagakusha crossed her arms angrily. This caused Drak to pull Teishi closer to him.
"Get away from my Teishi!"
"Drak-sama, help!" Teishi clung to Drak tightly and shut his eyes.
"Gah!" Dr. Kagakusha threw her hands in the air. "Screw this, I don't have the time. I'm leaving."
"You can't leave!" The softer version of her voice spoke. "That's not in the script!"
"This wasn't in the script either! I'm out of here."
She walked out of the room, still arguing with herself. Drak and Teishi watched her go.
"Good thing you came in here with me." Drak hugged Teishi. "I can't imagine what she would do to you."
"I love you, Drak-sama!" Teishi kissed him. It escalated from there.
While Dr. Kagakusha walked down the hall muttering to herself, she stumbled across Zarla.
"Darn it, it's because you're writing this." Her voice was harsh. "You just can't hurt them, can you?"
"They're too cute together!" Zarla giggled. "And yer evil. And da idea of ya and Teishi just frankly scared da heck outta me."
"I'm not evil." Hana's voice came through, which Namida quickly stopped.
"Are you saying I am?"
"No, I was referring to all of us-"
"Liar!"
This argument continued for quite some time until Zarla spoke up again.
"Oh, and Kame's runnin' around and causin' havoc. Ya might wanna do somethin' about that, considerin' da whole sex thin' and stuff ya had with her."
"She IS? How did THAT happen?"
"I have no idea." Zarla shrugged, giggling slightly.
Muttering angrily, Dr. Kagakusha continued down the stairs.
~~~
Dr. Dowasure was napping on the table, twitching slightly in his dreams. This continued for a while.
"Hey, y'idiot, yer up again!"
Dr. Dowasure twitched slightly. A fireplace poker came and jabbed him none-too-gently in the side. He jerked upwards, knocking his chair over and falling off of it again. Scrambling back to his desk, he adjusted his glasses.
"That hurt." He pouted near the edge of the screen, causing Cyrus' voice to begin swearing at him. Covering his ears, Dr. Dowasure looked at the screen.
"Um...what was my line?"
A large book full of papers flew and nearly smacked him in the face. With a short scream of surprise, he stared at it.
"The Yellow Pages?"
The book was swiftly hooked and pulled out of the scene and replaced with another one. He flipped through it.
"Ah! Here we go. Um...Teishi get's seperated from Drak somehow, and wanders downstairs."
Soshi walked onscreen and stared at the book.
"I wonder how that happened. How could anyone seperate those two?"
Zarla rushed onscreen, waving her paws frantically.
"Hey, I'm tryin ta keep this moderatly clean here!"
Soshi shrugged innocently. "What? I didn't say nothin'. You're the one who's interpreting my words wrong."
Dr. Dowasure pointed at her. "And I don't think you're trying to keep this fairly clean, either."
Zarla smacked her forehead in frustration. "Agh! I need ta seperate 'em fer some plot and I'm tryin ta keep it clean fer a Rocky Horror fic! Shut up and let's cut ta where Teishi is."
~~~
Teishi was wandering about despondently in the lab. Standing alone in the elevator, he tried to keep himself from crying.
"Oh, Drak-sama...where are you? Where is ANYone?"
Stepping out of the elevator, his smock gets caught on something and rips. Upset and frustrated, he pulls the strip from where it was stuck and continues walking into where Kame had been created, looking around. Cyrus was leaning against the wall, smoking and generally looking to be in a much better mood. Teishi tried to ignore him.
"If only we hadn't made this journey..."
"But y'did!" Cyrus smirked. Teishi glared at him.
"If only the car hadn't broken down..."
"But it did!" Cyrus was finding this extremely funny. Teishi kept trying to ignore his comments.
"If only we were amongst friends..."
"But yer not!" Cyrus burst out laughing at this point. Teishi sighed deeply.
"Or sane persons."
"That's it, 'm out've here." Cyrus walked out of the room, laughing quietly to himself. "This's too much for me..."
Teishi watched him go gladly. "Oh, Drak-sama...where are you? What have they done to you?"
There was a general feeling of distress coming from the container where Kame had emerged. Note, it wasn't a noise nor a call, but just a general feeling. Confused, Teishi walked over towards it.
He noted the white hair immediately and found a heavily injured and bleeding Kame within.
"It's you!" Teishi recoiled. "Where's your master? Is she around, miss? I hope not."
Kame held out her injured arm, as if expecting something. Teishi totally ignored her.
"I hope she isn't around...she frightens me so much..."
Deciding that Teishi wasn't going to help her of his own choosing, Kame snatched the rag he was holding and used it to bind a particularly bad cut on her arm. Teishi turned towards her.
"I wish I could be more like you..."
Kame blinked.
"Strong, I mean. You know, be able to defend myself and things like that." Teishi sighed and sat down.
While music began to build behind him, Kame kept pulling off pieces of his smock and using them to wrap up her own wounds.
~~~
Dr. Dowasure had lost his script. Noticing the camera was back on him, he laughed nervously and hid the metal detector he was using under his desk.
"Uh, hi again! Heh heh...back to me already, eh?"
Cyrus walked on-screen, picking up the metal detector. "Y'#$^# moron, books aren't made of metal."
Dr. Dowasure blushed for a moment. "Oh..you're right. I forgot about that."
"Look, 's not hard." Cyrus rolled his eyes. "All you got t'say 's that Teishi is th' slave of his emotions."
"But he isn't!" Dr. Dowasure looked at him. Cyrus shrugged.
"Then change it."
With that, he walked off-stage. Totally abandoned and confused, Dr. Dowasure turned back to the camera.
"Um..."
Desperate, he flipped through the encyclopedia on his desk. He stopped on a random word.
"Obediance...um...having no free will. Uh...and it was obvious to both Soshi and Zarla that Teishi was obediant. Is that close enough?"
In response to his query, another vase came flying at him.
"#^#$ NO!"
Dr. Dowasure barely managed to duck in time once again.
"I don't think you should be doing that. Aren't those rare?"
"#%^&!"
~~~
Teishi hung his head sadly, his soft voice barely able to be heard over the ripping sound of his clothes as Kame continued ripping them without a care in the world.
Meanwhile, Zarla and Soshika are watching this within some kind of television device in their room. They smirk at the screen.
"Tell us about it, Teishi."
I heard the command...
He raised his hand, as if about to strike someone.
Saw them raise their hands...
He dropped it in his lap, staring at his own bruised arms.
I've never felt confidence before...
Zarla was blow-drying her tail while Soshi was filing her claws. The fox turned to the cat.
Actually, considerin what he and Drak have just been-
Soshi threw her file at her.
Shut up and act surprised.
Teishi stared at Kame, who was doing exactly what she wanted. That was a personality trait he desperatly desired.
I thought there was no use in fighting
In the stark, empty lighting
It only led to trouble
And more...
He stared at his arms.
Scar sightings...
His voice tried to take on a stronger tone.
Now all that I want is to do what I want
And not listen to what they keep saying!
Soshi and Zarla looked very bored as they echoed his words. Soshi had somehow found another nail(claw?)-file.
Saying, saying, saying...
Teishi stared at Kame, who was wrapping a deep gash on her leg.
Please teach me how I can leave
This state of mind which can't resist
And hear the commands I recieve
And say "I don't want to do this!"
Teishi took Kame's hand in his own, causing her to start slightly. She then tried to pull it away to continue rebandaging her wounds, but Teishi was trying to assert his self-confidence, so he didn't let her.
Teach-a teach-a teach-a teach me!
I want to be a fighter!
Teach me, tell me, guide me
Teacher of the night!
Please, tell me what I have to do
To be able to be who I want to!
Although Zarla was going into giggling fits, Soshi was trying to keep a straight face. She smacked Zarla, who got serious again as they echo his words once more.
Want to, want to, want to...
Teishi looked at his scarred and bruised arms, tears beginning to form in his eyes.
To have more then just a small feeling
Of resistance and much less wound healing
You need someone to help to you
And I need your help in how I should be dealing...
He looked down at himself.
With everything...
Meanwhile, Zarla had taken her blow-dryer and was aiming it directly for Soshi's face. Since cats hate having air blown in their face, Soshi furiously retaliated with a pillow. This started a full-out pillow fight, during which the two alternate their incredibly sarcastic and mocking tones of Teishi's song.
Teach-a teach-a teach-a teach me!
I want to be a fighter!
Teach me, tell me, guide me
Teacher of the night!
Teishi looked desperate now. Thinking of how strong Drak was, Teishi wanted to be that more then anything. As of such, his voice was taking a stronger tone now.
Teach-a teach-a teach-a teach me!
I want to be a fighter!
Teach me, tell me, guide me
Teacher of the night!
Kame finally responded.
Teacher of the night!
Various people flitted through Teishi's mind, people that he felt had their own sense of identity and self-confidence.
Drak...
Teacher of the night!
Dr. Kagakusha...
Teacher of the night...
Soshika...
Teacher of the night!
Mewtwo...
Teacher of the night.
Cyrus...
Teacher of th' #^$%in' night, @#%# it.
Zarla...
Teacher of da night!
And Kame's face again regained it's original appearance.
Teacher of the night!
Clenching a fist, Teishi looked determined.
Teacher of the night!
Kame, sensing someone coming, grabbed Teishi and threw him in the tank. With a gasp of surprise, he disappeared beneath the remaining red fabric. He was soon joined by Kame, who was apparently trying to hide from something.
Or someone...
The elevator door slid open, revealing Cyrus, Drak, and Dr. Kagakusha. Cyrus was the first to appear, as he was rather roughly thrown out onto the floor. Dr. Kagakusha continued moving smoothly, holding a whip in her hand, a leather labcoat having been tossed over her normal outfit.
"No, don't-"
Cyrus' protests were cut short as the whip struck him rather forcefully across the back. Since he was a rather frail person, this threw him into the tank with a thud and a sharp cry of pain.
Swearing repeatedly, he kept his eyes closed as Dr. Kagakusha walked closer to him.
"How did that happen? I thought you were supposed to be watching her!" She gestured with the whip at him. Cyrus opened one of his eyes, mustering some of his normal self-defiance.
"Screw you, #^#$#. I don't know how she got out an' I don't #$^#in' give a #$^#. I hope she's dead, for all I care."
"Hmmph." Dr. Kagakusha walks away, apparently deciding that was the best she could get out of him. Pressing her hand to a pad near what seemed to be a monitor, she looked into it. "Maybe I can find him on this."
"#$%^ you, you #$^#in' #$^@#, why th' #^$# you have t'hit me, #$^#in' sadistic $#^#ed-up..."
"Are you okay?" Drak asked the man. Cyrus glared at him with hatred.
"NO."
"Hmm. Look who's here." Dr. Kagakusha pointed to the monitor. Drak joined her, staring at the man in the wheelchair that's in view.
"I know him!" Drak noticed Cyrus limping rather painfully to where they were standing. "That's Prof. Denka. I wonder what he's doing here."
"Denkmph-" There was a muffled cry of surprise, sounding almost as if it came from someone who had been abruptly silenced, which they all ignored.
"Y'know 'im?" Cyrus was leaning against the wall because he could not stand in the considerable pain he was in. He was trying at the moment to access his power to heal himself, but it was apparently slow in coming. Drak nodded.
"Yes. He's a friend of mine."
"So...this wasn't just some random happenstance." Dr. Kagakusha turned on the dark-haired boy. Drak backed away slightly.
"I told you, my car got a flat-"
"Yeah, that's what you TOLD me. But that's not the TRUTH, is it?" Dr. Kagakusha jabbed a finger into his chest.
"Leave 'im alone-"
"Shut up!" Dr. Kagakusha raised the hand containing the whip near Cyrus, who swore for a few moments but took the hint.
"He's a friend!"
"He's a spy for the government!"
"At th' moment..." Cyrus stared at the monitor. "He's enterin' th' castle."
Dr. Kagakusha stared at it angrily. "Great, this is just great."
"Here goes th' magnet." Cyrus pulled down on a lever nearby. There was a screech from above them.
"Cyrus?" Soshi hopped down from above them, staring at the bleeding gash on his back. "You're HURT!"
Her fur raised on end and her eyes glew red. Baring her claws and fangs, she whirled on the two behind her. "WHO DID THIS?!"
Drak stared in confusion at the whip that was abruptly thrust into his hands. "Wha-"
"Really, 's fine-" Cyrus wasn't trying very hard to convince her. Actually, at the moment he was pointing at Dr. Kagakusha, who was looking innocent and pointing at Drak. Evidentally trusting Cyrus more then the woman, Soshi snarled deeply.
She then went into a swearing fit that would have put Cyrus himself to shame, flipped out her knife, and lept for the woman.
Dr. Kagakusha was a bit brighter then to stand around and wait for her to attack, so had backed away slightly. Soshi's first slash went wild, but it was soon followed by another. And another.
"SOSHI!" Zarla hopped down, barely managing to grab Soshi's paw before she can try again. "Ya can't kill one of da main characters! That'll screw up da plot!"
"SHE HURT MY CYRUS! SHE MUST DIIIIEEE!"
"Actually, th' plot's pretty #$^$ed up right here-"
"Quiet ya." Zarla pointed at Cyrus. He shrugged painfully. "C'mon Soshi, he can heal himself, remember? He's gonna be fine. We gotta go up ta our room so we can look comically surprised when Prof. Denka zips through."
"SHE MUST DIIIIEEEE! YAAAAAA!"
"This is all your fault, Namida." Dr. Kagakusha's softer voice said to herself. It abruptly took the harsher tone associated with Namida.
"What? MY fault?"
"You're the one that does all the evil things!"
"It was IN the SCRIPT! Read it, it says 'Kagakusha whips Cyrus.'"
"No it doesn't."
"Shut up!"
Soshi paused for a moment. "Can we take Cyrus too?"
"What, ya mean ta our room?"
Cyrus blinked repeatedly. Soshi began giggling hysterically.
"Yes! Yes! Can we do that? Can we? I'll stop trying to kill her if we can!"
"Um..."
"Oh @$^#..." Cyrus began to edge his way off the screen.
"Or..." Soshi snarled at Dr. Kagakusha again. "I CAN KILL HER AND RUIN THE WHOLE THING!"
Zarla sighed. "Okay okay, we can take him."
"Yeee!" Soshi hopped up and down. Noticing Cyrus trying to escape, she pounced him as only a cat could. He made a short cry of surprise. "C'mon, we'll take REAL good care of your back. Hee hee hee."
"Don't touch me! #$#@, I hate it when people touch me!"
Zarla sighed. "Who can take his place then?"
Soshi sat on Cyrus' legs so he couldn't escape. "He doesn't have any MAJOR lines, does he?"
"Um...not really..."
"You can replace him while I take care of Cyrus' wounds!" Soshi was purring loudly, almost to the extent of being able to block out Cyrus' swearing. Zarla put her paws on her hips.
"What?! Are ya crazy?! Think I'm gonna let ya have him all ta yerself? No way!"
Together, the fox and cat managed to drag Cyrus mainly against his will up the stairs and out of the room.
~~~
So, NOW let's cut back to where Prof. Denka is, which is...::dramatic fanfare::...The M-2 Lab!
Dr. Dowasure walked up to the screen. "Hey, don't get too personal with the writing, Zar. This isn't a script fic."
Sorry. I'll try and be more serious. It's just Cyrus is- ::coughs:: Okay...
Prof. Denka was sitting at the moment in a rather disturbing room. Around him were numerous tubes, all filled with a luminous green liquid. It was unknown to almost everyone, including Prof. Denka himself, how he got there in his condition or how he got there at all considering no one opened the door.
Suddenly, there was a jerk on his wheelchair. With a gasp of surprise from the older man, the chair was zipped out the room at fantastic speeds.
Prof. Denka zipped through a dining room, the "training" arena, and some kind of underwater storage facility, all the while looking incredibly confused.
"How is this possible, even WITH a magnet? Magnet do NOT follow specific patterns-"
Prof. Denka soon learned not to question the plot or else there are rather severe consequences, which came in the form into a most unwelcome entering into Zarla and Soshi's room, where they somehow had managed to get the wildly thrashing Cyrus pinned on the bed.
There was an awkward silence, then Cyrus began to swear loudly, glowing brightly. Likewise, Soshi lept off of him, flipped out her knife and growled at Prof. Denka. Zarla, equally annoyed, drew her own dagger.
"Really, this is totally a mistake-" He tried to protest. It was to no avail.
~~~
Dr. Kagakusha tapped her high-heeled shoe several times in tune to some silent music. Finally, Prof. Denka crashed through the wall and stopped abruptly.
He was NOT in good shape.
"What happened to YOU?" Namida asked. A voice soon called after him.
"That'll teach ya ta question da plot! Now leave us alone!"
Namida sighed. "Crazy vixen."
Drak dropped the whip he was holding quite quickly at the sight of the Professor. "Oh...jeez, hi Prof. Denka...fancy meeting you here..."
"Drak?!"
"Don't play stupid with me, Denka!" Namida's voice returned. "He was part of your plan, wasn't he? Him and his little slave-boy-"
"He's not a slave!"
"They're here to investigate my facility, see what I've been making, haven't they?!"
"You mean Teishi?"
"Yes."
"What are you two doing here?" Prof. Denka looked at them. Drak shrugged helplessly.
"Car broke down."
"Well, anyway, their presence here is a surprise to me. I came here to find...Mewtwo."
"Mewtwo?" Hana feigned innocence.
"Yes, Mewtwo. I'm here to find him. His mother has a put out a bulletin for his whereabouts, you know? Eclipse, of course."
Dr. Kagakusha snapped her fingers. "I forgot about that fluffy terror..."
"Terror?" Drak stared at her. "She's the nicest creature I ever met. What are you talking about?"
She pointed at the whip, Namida's voice returning quickly. "Don't make me use that!"
Drak shrugged and rolled his eyes.
"Don't hurt Drak-sama!" Teishi, his smock having been ripped to shreds by Kame, lept forward, throwing the curtain back. Kame grabbed it before it hit the ground and wrapped it around her shoulders. This instantly began a scene we all know and love so well.
"Teishi!"
"Sir!"
"Teishi!"
"Drak-sama!"
"Kame!"
"..."
"Teishi!"
"Sir!"
"Teishi!"
"Drak-sama!"
"Kame!"
"..."
"Teishi!"
"Sir!"
"Teishi!"
"Drak-sama!"
"Kame!"
"..."
Finally, Dr. Kagakusha broke free of the pattern with a huff and snatched the curtain away from Kame. Meanwhile, Teishi scrambled free of the tank and threw himself in Drak's arms.
"Drak-sama, I'm so glad you're okay. I was worried-"
"What were you doing!? What happened to your clothes?"
"I was asking her to help me be strong like you." Teishi burst into tears from the sheer emotion of the moment. "She ripped up my clothes to bandage herself."
Drak could see this was true just by staring at Kame who had stained fabric wrapped all over her.
"Don't be angry, Drak-sama. I didn't do anything, I never would unless you told me to."
"It's okay...I trust you."
"Thank you, Drak-sama!"
While Drak and Teishi's reunion was joyful, Kame and Dr. Kagakusha's was far from being so.
"I made you! I can unmake you just as easily!"
"Unmake isn't a word."
She pointed angrily at Prof. Denka. "Yes it is! Shut up!"
Kame didn't respond, ripping up some more of the fabric that Dr. Kagakusha was holding. Actually, at this point she was fairly well clothed in the fragments, but she seemed to enjoy ripping things at some primal level and couldn't stop doing it. She rewrapped some of her bandages while Dr. Kagakusha fumed angrily.
"Well, it's time for dinner."
"That was abrupt."
"Shut up! It's part of the script. Actually, SOSHI is supposed to say it, but I suppose she's a little BUSY right now-"
The scene DOESN'T cut to Soshi and Zarla because, as stated before, I'm trying to keep this fairly clean, but just for the heck of it we can hear some of their comments.
"Don't worry, Cyrus, I'll make it all better! Hee hee..."
"Stop @#^#in' touchin' me! GAH! I hate bein' touched!"
"Unless it's by...Dr. Dowasure!"
"..."
"Woah, look at him blush. Didn't think he could do that."
"Ya know, we should snatch him and drag him in here too! That would make things REALLY interestin'!"
Let's cut it off there, shall we?
Dr. Kagakusha clicked off in her high-heels, rolling her eyes. "Let's go. I hope they'll show up for dinner, if they're not too BUSY."
~~~
Dr. Dowasure was reading directly from the large book in front of him, which was evidentally his recovered script. He put his finger on the page and followed along as he read off of it.
"Food...has always played...a vital role...in society..."
Zarla sauntered in, her tail waving slowly from side to side.
"Helloooodere, my cute little doctor. Are ya terribly busy?"
Dr. Dowasure looked incredibly innocent as he blinked at her. "Well, no, not really. I just have to read my lines, then I just lie around most of the time."
"Oh my..." Zarla looked down at the words he was reading, tsking softly. "Such borin' lines. Do we really need ta read these?"
"They said I'm supposed to-"
"Oh, what do they know." Zarla picked up the book and threw it off screen, which caused a scream of surprise from some unknown prop person. Dr. Dowasure watched it fly with a confused look.
"Didn't YOU write the script though?"
"Change in plans." Zarla easily picked up the small doctor and began carrying him off. "We got somethin' more interestin' fer ya ta do."
Not struggling in the least, Dr. Dowasure only put his hands near his face."But I can't just leave my role! I have to say my lines, I think."
"Cyrus asked fer ya personally..." Zarla's voice became cajoling. "Do ya REALLY want me ta say ya said 'no' ta HIM?"
Dr. Dowasure blushed and looked slightly frightened.
"That's what I thought. C'mon, it'll be fun!"
~~~
Dr. Kagakusha, Drak, Teishi, Kame, and Prof. Denka were sitting together at the dinner table. Dr. Kagakusha tapped her foot impatiently.
"Where ARE they?"
At this point, I won't even TELL you what they're saying. It's getting a little too...you know what I mean.
"Drak-sama, are you sure you aren't angry at me?"
"Of course not, Teishi. I know you would never do that to me." Drak smiled at the blonde boy. "And I know you would never do it unless I told you to, which I didn't."
"Oh, Drak-sama..."
Dr. Kagakusha resumed glaring at her creation. "And YOU...what's YOUR excuse."
Kame sat silently, ripping up the tablecloth to wrap around her pointed ears.
About an hour later, where most of the people were napping at the table, the rest of the cast finally came down.
Zarla hopped to her chair and sat down, brushing some tangles from her hair.
Soshi adjusted her clothes fussily and brushed down her tail as she took her seat next to Zarla. Both of them looked very pleased with themselves.
Cyrus, who walked in last, stumbled in almost drunkenly, then nearly collapsed on the table. His clothes were in a state of total disarray.
"Cyrus, get the dinner."
"Wha'?" Cyrus was still trying to comprehend what had just happened to him and seemed to have an almost dreamy smile on his face. Dr. Kagakusha snapped her fingers in front of his odd eyes until she had his attention.
"DINNER. GET DINNER." She exaggerated her words. Cyrus nodded slowly.
"Right, right, th' #$#@in' dinner...can do." He stumbled into the kitchen. Drak noticed that he no longer had his ponytail. Then he turned to Soshi and found that she seemed to have taken the band holding his ponytail and was using it herself.
There were many clatters and crashes from the kitchen while Dr. Kagakusha seemed to compose herself.
Meanwhile, Zarla managed to drag herself out of dreamland long enough to drag Eclipse back into the scene, putting the hat back on her head.
Prof. Denka was about to say something, but Zarla interrupted him.
"She's Columbia now, okay? No more questions."
"Then who're YOU?"
"Uh..." Zarla looked thoughtful. "Author. Now shut up before I remove ya from da fic."
Soshi glared at her again. "Chah, you never want to take your part."
Zarla rolled her eyes. "I SAID it before, I ain't gonna go all weepy and crazy fer Mewtwo."
Soshi moved her paw in an imitation of her talking. "Blah blah blah, My name is Zarla, I don't like to work hard-"
Zarla bapped her between the ears with a spoon. "Don't make me erase da previous scene!"
Soshi stayed very quiet after that.
Cyrus was walking out of the kitchen when he tripped rather abruptly. It was by pure luck that the dish he was carrying landed on the table.
"Thank you. Took long enough." Dr. Kagakusha was about to aim a kick at him until a deep snarl from Soshi made her stop. Cyrus stumbled to his feet and walked off the scene.
"If yer lookin' fer Dr. Dowasure, he's right where we left 'im."
Zarla called after him. He didn't respond.
"ANYWAY, back to the PLOTLINE..." Dr. Kagakusha slammed her hand down on the table. Picking up a rather large chainsaw, splattered with familiar crimson marks, she began to cut the rather pale chunk of meat in front of her. "A toast to absent friends."
"What?"
"I didn't get it either..." Hana's voice seemed to apologize. "But that's our line-"
"Shut up, you!"
All those present shrugged and echoed her. "To absent friends."
"And to Kame's birthday." Dr. Kagakusha stared at her creation, who was still busily ripping up the tablecloth.
She began to sing. "Happy birthday-"
The instant everyone joined in with her, she stopped. This left everyone singing awkwardly until they trailed off. Except for Soshi and Zarla, who were singing loudly with gusto.
"HAPPYY BIIIIRTHDAAAAY DEAR KAAAAMEEEEEE!"
"That's ENOUGH!" Dr. Kagakusha waved the chainsaw at them, finally silencing them. The two giggled slightly, but eventually stopped.
"Anyway, I'm here to discuss Mewtwo." Prof. Denka looked at Eclipse while he was doing this. She was sobbing into her plate, not touching her food at all. She looked up abruptly.
"GENCEY?!" Her voice was pain-stricken. Dr. Kagakusha pointed the chainsaw at her, which stopped her.
"That's...not something I like to talk about. Does anyone want another piece?"
Since no one had eaten anything, they all shook their heads. Kame broke the silence by ripping yet another piece from the tablecloth.
Eclipse fluttered into the air. "Gen gencey...."
She flew out of the room.
A agonized scream of sadness from the Gencey was painfully audible to those at the table.
Prof. Denka shook his head. "I knew Mewtwo was slightly depressed...but I didn't know he would come to YOU." He glared at Dr. Kagakusha, who looked innocent.
"Why? What's wrong with that?" Drak asked him curiously.
"Go on, Prof. Denka." Dr. Kagakusha rested her head in her hands. "If you can."
"Prof. Denka, what-"
"It's all right, Drak."
"Prof. Denka-"
"Shh!" Prof. Denka pointed at him, which finally managed to make Drak sit and listen. He looked very grave as music grew behind him.
From the day he was created
He was trouble...
He wasn't born
But rather created on the side
We tried to stay...
As we switch back to where Dr. Dowasure normally was, he wasn't there. Zarla ran on, noticing this.
"Ack! I fergot ta put him back!"
She ran off.
There was a long pause, during which Prof. Denka looked very annoyed.
"Darn it, this is my big song, and that vixen has to ruin it-"
"Shhh." Drak warned him. "She might do something to you if you talk bad about her."
Back to the office, Zarla was carrying the doctor easily in her arms. He appeared to be asleep. Placing him in his chair, he promptly flopped over on the desk, snoring softly.
"Oh, we tired him out...poor thing. That's too freakin' cute. Aww."
She shook him gently, trying to wake him.
"C'mon, you got some lines. Wake up. C'mon, c'mon, we can't wait ferever..."
Cyrus walked on, staring disapprovingly at the sleeping doctor. "Moron's got no stamina, really. Pansy. WAKE UP, Y'#@^# MORON!"
"Don't shout at him!" Zarla began to raise her fur defensively. However, this did manage to wake Dr. Dowasure up. He sat up, totally confused.
"Where am I? What happened? Who am I?"
Putting his glasses back on his face, Zarla directed his eyes to a section on the book that had somehow found it's way back on his desk. "Here, read this. Ya don't really have ta sing it. Cyrus, can't ya help re-orient him? I need ta get back ta da dinner scene."
"Me?!"
"Yes, ya! Just do it, okay?" Zarla dashed off. Cyrus swore angrily. Dr. Dowasure was still woozy. He stared at Cyrus.
"I remember you, I think. You did-"
"Quiet, moron." Cyrus was blushing slightly. "Look, here. Just read this off, okay? It goes something like this..."
After some effort, Dr. Dowasure finally says his line.
Whatever it was that killed A...
Finally the scene switches back to Prof. Denka, who still looked offended. However, he continued to sing.
But he blew our lab open wide...
From the day he was gone
All he wanted
Was to belong, and to have a life
He wasn't Mew enough
With Cyrus' coaching, Dr. Dowasure was remembering more of his lines. He spoke with slightly more confidence and rhythm.
So he instinctively got really tough!
Prof. Denka shrugged.
He couldn't believe he was alive
All those present began to sing along.
The day Mewtwo said
"Stop messing with my head"
We knew he was a run-away cause
But when he took Drak under his wing
And biked in here to sing...
Dr. Kagakusha crossed her arms irritably.
How absurd!
Timidly, Teishi spoke.
But not unheard-
Prof. Denka smiled at Teishi's show of confidence.
You said it, kid...
The scene changed to Eclipse's room.
"Sheesh, Zarla..."
Shut up! It's Eclipse's now, okay Soshi? Darn it.
"Whatever."
However, we have no Pokémon translator here...so poor Eclipse's heartbreakingly emotional lines will have to remain...a mystery.
"Whatever."
Shut up!
Prof. Denka shrugged again.
But he must have been wrong
About something
Making him strong
Enough to return to this place...
Suddenly, a psychic voice seemed to speak to them all.
They're all out of their heads!
Don't anger the vixen and cat or you'll wind up dead!
They musn't finish writing this maddening deed!
For no real reason whatsoever, everyone screamed.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Then they evenly changed back into singing.
The day Mewtwo said
"Stop messing with my head"
We knew he was a run-away cause
But when he took Drak under his wing
And biked in here to sing...
Dr. Kagakusha again looked angry.
How absurd!
The others continued to sing along, sort of.
Who-ho-hoo...
Teishi picked up his confidence, his voice becoming stronger.
But not unheard!
The others continued along.
Hey hey hey
Prof. Denka looked at him, looking slightly sad.
You said it, kid...
Everyone looked at Teishi, who was blushing from the attention.
Right on, kid....
For no real reason that anyone could see, Dr. Kagakusha stood, gripped the tablecloth, and pulled it off the table. This obviously wasn't as smooth as she wanted it to be as everything clattered everywhere and almost everyone was splattered with the uneaten food. The only one who truly didn't care about this was Kame, who at the moment was more concerned with the fact that the tablecloth was now out of ripping distance.
Underneath the glass table, Mewtwo's body could be seen. However, it seemed different. Mainly because he was missing his leg, both his arms, and his tail. Their current location, as many may have guessed, was on the floor and splattered on the guests.
Everyone screamed rather loudly, except Kame whose paramount concern at the moment was getting the tablecloth back out of Dr. Kagakusha's grasp.
Teishi threw himself into Drak's arms as Dr. Kagakusha laughed maniacally. Then she noticed Teishi and Drak holding eachother and had a sudden change of heart.
"You! You and your happiness! How dare you ruin the plot!"
Drak glared at her.
"Well excuse me if you're as ugly as sin!"
"WHAT?!"
"Drak-sama is right!" Teishi said boldly, his normally passive and submissive voice having some kind of strength. Dr. Kagakusha clicked over angrily in her high-heels and angrily slapped Teishi, knocking him to the ground.
Even though for once Teishi had a burst of strength, it had faded quickly. He didn't resist as he fell to the floor. However, Drak was furious enough for the both of them. He pushed Dr. Kagakusha angrily.
"How dare you hit him!"
"Get up!" Dr. Kagakusha kicked at Teishi angrily, who was scrambling to his feet. "I'll get you yet!"
Drak took Teishi's hand and began to lead him away, but Dr. Kagakusha followed persistantly, along with the other members of the party. Save Soshi and Cyrus. Who were both laughing hysterically. At least, they were until Cyrus abruptly shouted "SHUT TH' %@#$ UP!" at Soshi, which made her do so rather quickly.
Dr. Kagakusha sang with an annoyed, furious tone. She would punctuate some of her words with attempts to strike Teishi, which Drak usually managed to deflect.
It's me you've annoyed, and the plot you've defiled
So keep quiet,
Teishi my child
You better start actin
all meek and mild
You better keep quiet
Teishi my child.
I've tried to train you well
but what the #^@$
Due to her constant chasing of the pair, they eventually found themselves back in the room where Kame had been created. Within the lab, Dr. Kagakusha furiously pulled a switch, thus trapping those within to the floor.
"My feet!" Teishi cried in terror, his hand still locked within Drak's. "I can't move my feet, Drak-sama!"
Prof. Denka tried in vain to move his wheelchair which is, at the moment, also rather attached to the floor.
"My wheels...I can't move them either. However, I can walk anyway, so-"
A knight in armor, armed with a rubber chicken, came in and slapped Prof. Denka across the face with it. It then ran away giggling.
There was an awkward pause following this, then Drak pointed at the Professor. "I TOLD you not to question the plot! Be careful!"
Prof. Denka searched about on his lap for his small glasses and replaced them, regaining his composure before speaking again. "Okay...my wheels. I can't move my wheels."
"MORE EMOTION!" A voice from off-stage called. Prof. Denka looked that way fearfully, then spoke again.
"MY WHEELS! I CAN'T MOVE THEM! DEAR GOD! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DOOO!" he shouted dramatically.
"That's better."
"ANYWAY..." Dr. Kagakusha had crossed her arms and looked annoyed. "Back to where we were?"
Drak was a little more on-cue with his lines then some of the others.
"It's like we're glued to the spot!"
Dr. Kagakusha rubbed her hands together. "Oh yes, my favorite line."
"Your favorite line." Hana's voice was small. "I don't really like it-"
Namida drowned her out. "You are! So QUAKE IN FEAR, YOU TINY FOOLS! BWA HA HA HA HA HA!"
Teishi was paralyzed with fear. He held Drak's hand tighter. "Drak-sama, we're trapped!"
Prof. Denka glared at her angrily. "We're not so easily trapped as you might think, Kagakusha! This is some kind of transport device, isn't it?"
Dr. Kagakusha stared at him, then clapped sincerely. "Very good, Prof. Denka! You're quite smart!"
"Shut up, Hana! We're not supposed to be nice to them!"
"You got to say your lines. I want to say some."
"Well, screw you!"
"A transport device?" Drak tried to ignore the arguing woman in front of him. Teishi stared at his master fearfully.
"You mean she's going to send us somewhere, Drak-sama?"
Dr. Kagakusha made a general scoffing noise, walking back over to where Teishi was frozen. It was obvious that Namida was back in control, as she began to torment Teishi, pinching him and poking him while he couldn't move, singing in a more controlled, yet still annoyed tone. Although Teishi on a whole did not react, Drak was getting more and more furious.
You disobey me and betray me, but you never even wince or frown...
but guess you didn't learn anything from being beat down!
Feeling tough? Wanna get wild?
Well keep quiet, Teishi my child.
Dr. Dowasure, who has regained consciousness and is now fairly alert, stared directly at the camera. "And then..."
He paused, then looked back down at his book. He smiled, then looked back up. "He cried..."
Back to where we were, we come back just in time to watch Drak punch Dr. Kagakusha rather harshly in the stomach, knocking her over.
"STOP!" He shouted.
Dr. Kagakusha stumbled to her feet, trying to regain her breath.
"Nice punch, Drak-sama."
"Ow..." Drak nursed his hand.
"Don't..." Dr. Kagakusha had to take several breaths before she could speak clearly. "Don't get all hot and flustered...."
"Zarla, don't kill me for this..." Prof. Denka called out. "But this whole sequence won't really make sense...considering her name is different and all."
The knight with the chicken ran back on stage, smacked Prof. Denka, then ran off again.
"I told you!" Drak looked angrily at Prof. Denka, who sighed and tried to think of some suitable substitute for the line he was about to say.
"You're...a...um...schizo, Kagakusha, but you better not try and hurt him, Namida!"
Drak shrugged. "Almost works."
Prof. Denka smiles. "Ah, I try."
Dr. Kagakusha, now deeply offended, turned to another switch in the wall, where Soshi waits. She flipped the switch as soon as Dr. Kagakusha looked at her and Prof. Denka turned into rather adorable little neko statue of himself.
"That's really cute." Drak smiled at Dr. Kagakusha.
"It's my patented 'Neko-statue-maker.'" Hana apparently appreciated the praise. Namida rather abruptly snapped back into control. "But what do YOU know!?"
"You're a schizo, Kagakusha..." Drak tried to remember what Prof. Denka said. "But you better not hurt him, Hana!"
"I wouldn't hurt him!" Hana sounded deeply offended.
"I mean Namida."
"That's better!" Dr. Kagakusha raises a hand towards Soshi again, who flips the switch and Drak also turns into an adorable little neko statue of himself.
Teishi now is alone and terrified. "Drak-sama!"
Dr. Kagakusha tapped her foot, waiting for his line. Teishi remained silent.
"C'mon, Teishi. It's your line."
"If you want to turn me into a statue, go ahead, Ma'am." Teishi's face again took the emotionless glaze it often did when he was obeying orders. Dr. Kagakusha rolled her eyes in agitation.
"SAY THE LINE!"
"Yes, Ma'am. You're a shizo-"
Dr. Kagakusha turned him into a neko-statue at that point, cutting him off abruptly. She buries her hands in her wild hair.
"I swear, this is just getting stranger and stranger."
Zarla dashed in, waving the rubber chicken she obviously got from the knight, who is pursuing her.
"My God! I can't stand any more of this!"
Zarla tried to prepare herself for her lines. "First ya spurn me..." This took visible effort for her to say.
"Fer Mewtwo, and then ya throw him off like an old overcoat fer Kame! Ya chew peeps up and then ya spit them out again!"
Dr. Kagakusha began humming a song to herself. "Eat you up...spit you out...run you right into the ground..."
"Don't try and distract me with DDR 4th mix songs!" Zarla pointed at the woman. Then her face contorted as she tried to force her next lines from her mouth.
"I...I lo...looo..."
Frustrated, Zarla grabbed Eclipse and shoved her forward. "Ya do it!"
Eclipse oblidged as everyone (who wasn't a statue at this point) rolled their eyes at Zarla's reluctance.
"Gen gencey! Gen gen gen? Gen gencey!"
The humongous lines off of her chest, Zarla again retakes control of the conversation.
"And what did it get me? Yeah, I'll tell ya! A big nothin'! Yer like a sponge. Ya take, take, take, and drain others of their love and emotion! Yeah, well, I've had enough!"
Zarla stomped up to the woman, her next words sounding incredibly forced. "Yer gonna choose between me and Kame, so named 'cause of da rocks in her head!"
"Ouch, Zar." Soshi winced from the side. "Glad I didn't choose to be Columbia."
"Eew..." Zarla began to walk away. "I'm gonna go wash my mouth out now..."
"I don't think so!" Dr. Kagakusha raised a hand again. Soshi shrugged.
"Sorry, Zar. Got to do it, it's in my script."
She threw the switch, turning the fox into a neko-statue. Which looked incredibly interesting, let me tell you.
Dr. Kagakusha sighed and shrugged, sounding careless. "Ah, it's hard having a good time sometimes."
While she wasn't watching, Soshi turned Kame into a neko-statue as well then hid it behind Prof. Denka's neko-statue. When Dr. Kagakusha turned around, noticing Kame's absence, she looked suspiciously at Soshi, who looked innocent.
"Sometimes it's even hard to crack a smile." She glared at Soshi, who was trying visibly to restrain herself from laughing.
"Considering all my creations have gone crazy...B, C, D, and E have all gone crazy in one way or another. Do you think it's because I used one Pokémon to base their genetic structure on?"
Soshi rolled her eyes. "Gee, no, that COULDN'T be it."
As Cyrus wandered on screen, Soshi continued speaking. "Gah, it's so boring here. When do we leave?"
Dr. Kagakusha noted Cyrus' presence and spoke anyway. "Ah, Soshi, you truly are loyal to me. Remind me to reward you. Or rather, remind Hana. I'll probably kill you in the morning."
"That's what I guessed." Soshi lowered her ears. Cyrus looked offended.
"Hey, ^@%^@! What about me!?"
"Pff." Dr. Kagakusha walked off-screen. "You didn't do anything for me. You don't deserve anything. C'mon, the floor show is starting."
While Dr. Kagakusha and Soshi walked off, Cyrus stood angrily, energy flaring off of him as he swore repeatedly.
~~~
Dr. Dowasure was tracing his finger around the desk when the camera refocused on him. He jumped, startled.
"Oh! It's me again already, is it?"
He looked through his script quickly, pausing over a selected passage.
"Um...And so...by extraordinary coincidence..."
Cyrus walked on screen, still in a incredibly bad mood. "That ^#@$in' $&#$#, she can go t'^@#$ for all I care!"
Dr. Dowasure looked frightened at Cyrus' anger. "I have to read my lines...could you please, maybe, keep it down a little?"
"That's it." Cyrus grabbed Dr. Dowasure around the waist and carried him off. "Yer comin' with me, Doc."
"What? Where are we going? I can't go, I have things I have to say, I think!"
"&#@$ it, I ain't in th'mood right now, Doc. Just c'mon. I need somethin' ta get my mind off that schizo $^@$#."
~~~
The neko-statues were all arranged on the stage, where Dr. Kagakusha was placing boas and such around their stone shoulders. Walking back, she sat in one of the chairs and waited.
Slowly the curtain rose.
Zarla, who was still in a strange hybrid of fox and cat, was released from the statue and with almost no cue at all begins to sing.
It was great when it all began...
I was a regular Kaggie fan
But it was over when she had da plan
Ta start-a workin on a super-mon
Da only way I keep from bein' sick
Is writin' all this gore in a fic
Rose tints my world, keeps me safe and free from blame!
The next to be freed from the neko-statue-ism was Kame, who also began singing and dancing with almost no cue.
I'm just several hours old
Completely terrifiying to behold
And somebody should be told
My destructive power hasn't been controlled
Now the only thing I've come to trust
Is an ultra destructive aggressive rush
Rose tints my world and keeps me safe and free from blame.
Now free from his neko statue was Drak, who hesitated slightly before singing until the knight with the rubber chicken threatened him.
It's going crazy..my world's getting hazy...
Zar, you could refrain
From making this so in-say-yay-ya-yaaaaaane!
What's this?
Could it be?
Is Mewtwo here with me?
Drak looked around.
And where's Teishi??
He pointed to the vixen who was looking innocent nearby.
Zarla, you've lost control of your brain!
Finding Teishi's neko-statue, Drak picked it up and held it in his arms as Teishi came back into his normal form. Throwing his arms around Drak, he also began singing, his voice stronger then it had ever been before.
I feel empowered!
Like my fear's been devoured
I no longer have to sit and cower...
I have nothing left to fear
The title 'slave's been abandoned
All those meanies they've been stranded...
He turned towards Kame, who was ripping her boa to shreds.
I can thank Kame's hand in it...
She's devoid of all fear!
Kame totally ignored them.
Then, with an elaborate flourish, Dr. Kagakusha stepped forward. The spotlight flicked upon her, and, for a few sparkling moments, Hana was in control of her tormented mind,causing her voice to lose the harsh angry tone it usually had.
Whatever happened...to A.K.?
It only lasted a moment as Namida quickly retook control.
That idiotic, blackhaired thing...
As the Pika looked into his eyes
How I snickered as I went by
Cause love for something so weak is insane!
Give yourself over
To absolute power!
Clean the genetic slate..and start out afresh!
Hana abruptly took back control.
Powerful nightmares
Beyond any measure!
And lovely day-dreams to treasure forever...
Can't you just see it?
Who-ho-hoooo.....
Having been walking up on the stage during this entire, slow-paced song, Dr. Kagakusha paused for a moment. Snapping her fingers almost imperceptively, Kame's eyes flashed and a large pool appeared in the center of the stage. Since those on the stage, excepting Kame and Dr. Kagakusha, had not expected this, they fell into the pool with much screams of indignation and/or surprise.
Don't fake it...make it.
Angrily, those now soaked glared at the woman, who was paddling by in an inflatable raft, fully enjoying herself.
Don't fake it...make it...
Reluctantly, the others joined her. However, the minute that she came after them, for something we all know so well, the others began to try and scramble away. As a compromise, it was Drak who decided that a game of Marco Polo might be fun, using the lyrics instead of Marco and Polo. Soon the game was going on full scale, and Dr. Kagakusha had her eyes closed while she called out.
Don't fake it...
Those hiding around her responded.
Make it!
Prof. Denka, having been un-neko-statued mysteriously, watched those still dressed in their leather outfits cavort about in the pool, shouting and laughing hysterically. Holding a hand to his forehead, he looked to the sky.
GAH! We've got to get out of this fic
Before Zarla's insanity makes us all flip
I've gotta be strong...and try to hang on...
Or else my mind might snap!
And I will bend to her will and become...
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooony!
At the last line, the knight with the chicken reappeared, grabbing Prof. Denka's wheel chair and pushing it rather quickly into the pool. This resulted in mad chaos as almost everyone screamed in surprise.
Drak, stumbling about with the blanket that had once covered Prof. Denka's legs now draped over his eyes, felt around desperately for something solid.
It's so crazy..my world's getting hazy...
Teishi removed the blanket carefully, smiling at Drak.
God bless Dr. Frankenstein.
With a flash of Kame's eyes, the pool disappeared from view, leaving those in it stranded on stage. With almost no cue, they all began dancing, Prof. Denka trying to get himself back in his wheelchair. Dr. Kagakusha "unintentionally" kicked the professor while singing loudly.
MAH MAH MAH mah mah MAH MAH MAH! mah mah mah mah maaaaah-haaaaa!
I'm a crazy and untamed doc
I unlocked life and made it tick-toc
I turned the key on their souls and look
The insanity's finally took!
So let the madness of the fics rock on!
We're gonna write til a light past dawn...
Rose tints my world and keeps me safe and denies me from blame!!
Shrugging, the others joined in with her, Prof. Denka having finally replaced himself in his wheelchair and slowly circling those dancing.
MAH MAH MAH mah mah MAH MAH MAH! mah mah mah mah maaaaah-haaaaa!
I'm a crazy and untamed doc
I unlocked life and made it tick-toc
I turned the key on their souls and look
The insanity's finally took!
So let the madness of the fics rock on!
We're gonna write til a light past dawn...
Rose tints my world and keeps me safe and denies me from blame!!
With almost no warning whatsoever, a large blast of violet-blue energy blows a large hole in the wall, revealing Soshi and Cyrus, both having gotten rid of their uniforms. Cyrus angrily walked forward, keeping his revolver lined with Dr. Kagakusha's forehead, who looked comically shocked.
#^@$ you, lady, 's all over!
You've &*#$ed me over for th' last time,
An' this is just too *#&*in' insane
'M an M2 remember?
Don't make me pull this trigger...
We're gettin' th' *$#& outta here.
An' if we don't 'm gonna scream!
Dr. Kagakusha pretended rather badly to look shocked.
"Wait...I can explain."
Clearing her throat, she let Hana sing for once, her voice painfully clear and sweet.
On the day I broke apart...
Those behind her sang softly.
Into three...
She held a hand to her chest.
All remained within my heart...
Again, those behind her echoed her.
Now me...
She held up three fingers.
Hana, Namida, Nokori...
Prof. Denka shook his head as those behind continued to sing.
Cannot see...
Getting into it, Dr. Kagakusha swept her boa dramatically.
Hana and Namida say there aren't three
But I know it's not true...there's still me in the mirror
Someday my hair will be in curls again
And Then...I will be one...
They echoed her again.
She'll be one.
Dr. Kagakusha looked around her.
Everybody always seems the same
Those behind her looked sad.
Inside
She gestured towards herself.
Only I seem to have three different names
Those behind her shrugged helplessly.
Despite...
Dr. Kagakusha closed her eyes.
I wish I knew what I could say at times...
Those behind her gestured dramatically towards the spotlight on her.
In the light...
Dr. Kagakusha seemed to be pleading with someone.
I still appear to be a woman...one kind.
But I know it's not true...there's still me in the mirror
Someday my hair will be in curls again
And Then...I will be one...
Her voice joined with those behind her beautifully.
I'll be one.
As the beautiful moment was just reaching it's utmost point, Namida's angry voice cut through the stillness.
"How sentimental." Her tone was deeply sarcastic.
"Well, at least I finally got my solo." Hana sounded passive.
"Well, Lady..." Cyrus moved closer, keeping his gun level with her eyes. "Yer gettin' a little ahead of yerself here. Y'keep talkin' 'bout how yer goin' t'get normal at some point? Ain't goin' t'happen. Know why?"
Cyrus cocked his gun. "'Cause 'm goin' t'#&#%in' kill you first."
There was an awkward pause.
"Isn't someone supposed to defend me?" Dr. Kagakusha looked back at those behind her, who looked very reluctant to speak.
"How can we? We know what you did to him, after all. And Kame. And Teishi, for that matter." Drak hugged Teishi comfortingly.
"Heh..." Cyrus laughed to himself. "See, lady? No one wants you t'stay alive. Least of all me. So say goodbye t'whoever would give a #^#%in' @#^@."
"Um...Zar..." Dr. Kagakusha looked slightly nervous. "That gun IS loaded with blanks, isn't it? He looks a little too serious to me."
"Hey, accordin ta da script, I'm supposed ta die around here." Zarla swung down from where she was playing around with the lighting. "I ain't gonna give him any real bullets."
"What?!" Cyrus checked his gun. "#&#^in' #&#$^!"
Desperate to do SOME damage, he fired the gun anyway.
The bullet clipped Dr. Kagakusha's shoulder, to which she gave a cry of pain. "It IS loaded! You stupid vixen!"
"Uh oh."
"Get ready t'die, @^#%@!" Cyrus dashed forward, firing wildly at Dr. Kagakusha. There's only so long you can dodge bullets. One of them took her in the shoulder with enough force to knock her back into the pool which had reappeared just for this purpose. She didn't move after that, but no one was sure if that meant she was dead or not.
Cyrus then turned to Kame. "An' YOU, freak-#^$#@! Join yer master in #^#%!"
Kame didn't move to dodge the bullet. She collapsed wordlessly.
"You killed them!" Drak backed away, Teishi silently cheering on Cyrus from behind his master.
Soshi looked slightly puzzled. "But I thought you liked them. They liked you."
Cyrus smacked her with the butt of his gun, as if asking her how she could ask such a question. "They didn't like me! THEY NEVER LIKED ME!"
"Well, good job." Prof. Denka looked at Cyrus warily. "Yes, good job. Put down the gun now."
"Somethin' had t'be done!" Cyrus seemed proud of himself.
"Yes, and you did it. Now put down the gun..."
Cyrus didn't put it down, but he did put it in his holster. "Y'guys better get out've here...'m goin' t'blow this place sky-high. But first..."
He looked at Drak. "C'mere, you."
"Me?"
"Yeah, you kid. C'mere."
Drak told Teishi to wait for him, then walked forward. "Yes?"
"I can TELL everyone else goodbye..." Cyrus was smirking to himself. "But I can think of only one way t'say goodbye t'you..."
It was fairly easy, with Drak's proximity, Cyrus' heightened strength and speed, and Drak's total and complete surprise, for Cyrus to grab Drak and kiss him rather fiercely. It lasted for but a moment, then he threw him near Teishi, who seemed slightly surprised. As did Drak. But not unhappy.
"Take care of 'im for me, slave-boy."
"Hey!" Soshi looked deeply offended. "What was that?"
Cyrus shrugged non-commitedly.
Zarla stood and clapped her paws together. "Kay, it's time fer us all ta get Violent again! All da normals better get out while ya still can!"
Drak, Teishi, and Prof. Denka took this to mean them. The moved as quickly as possible out of the house while the sounds of guns, chainsaws, or other violent weapons began to sound about them.
They barely made it out of the house before it exploded rather violently with a flare of psychic energy. Lying amidst the rubble, Drak pulled Teishi upwards, holding him tightly.
I've been through a lot
You know we've tried
To escape this place
Or at least to hide
But now i see
It's so disbelieving...
Teishi had apparently already forgiven his master and had no resentment in his face nor voice.
And genetic mutants
Come to fist
To fight and kill
But never assist
And all I know
Is it's time we were leaving...
The rest of the cast that wasn't dead or wandering about sang some notes along with the tune.
Oooooooooooh ooooh...
Back to Dr. Dowasure, who was staring steadily down at the book on his desk so he could read his lines without thinking. He did have a beautiful voice, even though he wasn't looking up.
And wandering through time and space
Some people who write fics about this place
Who just can't revise..and refuse to erase...
And so it lacks all meaning.
Those who had sang the meaningless notes sang again.
Meaaaaaaning......
Dr. Dowasure then stood up to leave the office and was tackled rather roughly by Cyrus. Zarla ducked in and then turned off the lights, leaving only the globe that was eerily glowing visible. There was plenty to be heard, however, which is why we'll be switching into the song now. The voice singing this seemed to belong to Soshi.
This was a parody
A double feature
Kaggie built and
Lost her creature
Zar and me had fun
With Dowie and Cyrus
We just hope Red's mansion
Didn't hear us
Whu-uh-uh ohhhhh..
At this parody
Of the Rocky Horror
Picture show
Now the lips were back, singing along with the music.
The humor was low
Whu-uh-uh ohhhhhh
At this parody
Of the Rocky Horror
Picture Show
I oughta go...
Whu-uh-oh ohhhhhh
From this parody
Of the Rocky Horror
Pic-ture-Show.
Then, inexplicably, the lips spazzed out and began flying about the screen, saying nonsense words and often razzing whoever was listening.
"Turn it off!"
"It won't turn off!"
"#^#%, what's th' #&$^in' problem now?"
"The lips have gone be-serk!"
"Don't say it like that."
"Time for drastic measures. There we go. That should stop those #^#%in' crazy lips."
There was the sound of a plug being pulled out of a wall, then the lips fell to the bottom of the screen with a loud clanging.
Zarla ran on screen to get the lips off. While she was doing so, she waved at the camera cheerfully, giving a peace sign. "Yo, I'd like ta think Soshi fer writin' a bunch of these here songs!"
"Not th' credit thin' again..."
"No, that's it." Zarla threw the lips off-screen, causing some person to scream loudly. "Da end."
"DEAR GOD, I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS!"
"Ayaa, can't I go fer one second without someone dyin'? Honestly." Zarla dashed offscreen. "Get those lips off him! No, I don't know where they came from! Don't ya dare blame me! Don't make me get da knight!"
The Knight in question ran up and smacked the camera with the chicken, causing everything to go black.
The End
(Author's Note: Waaaay too much fun ta write. Seriously. ^_^)
