A Special Case

How could he honestly be so stupid?

Matt grimaced as he was taken out of the cafe, feeling Matsumoto watched amusedly, cackling to himself as he drank his coffee. From beside him, he could hear the woman rebuking him about running away and put all her threats in the air, but the words merely left through his other ear. How could she have known? Making a face, he guessed that it was simply pure coincidence. It didn’t look like she was on duty, and entered the coffee shop with an intention to drink up. But she saw him, her eyes flickered in remembrance and she had trudged up to him, greeting Matsumoto and showing her ID.

His superior faked a look of shock and let her take Matt away from the table. From the corner of his eye, he saw the Japanese hold in a laugh and resume reading the newspaper that was on the table. Blast it. He’d probably charm his way out of this one just like he did two weeks ago.

“So where exactly are you taking me?” he asked, stiffening slightly at the feeling of handcuffs around his wrists. Fuck. How to charm her if his hands were bound... “I reckon you’ll take me to the big house?”

“Don’t waste your breath,” she snapped, making him get into the back. Matt sighed, climbing into the black car and watching as she shut the door and got into the driver’s seat. “I’ve had enough dealing with the likes of you. Honestly, running away like that weeks ago? That just tells me you’ve got something under your sleeve.” The car came alive and before he knew it, they were on the road. “So what are you? Illegal immigrant or a smuggler? Or are you a drug dealer?”

Damn, she was nosy.

“None of the above.”

Retrograde

Impatient footsteps fill the silent room, the girl frowning with her arms crossed as she peeked at the unconscious form on the hospital bed. Beside her, a boy whacked said girl and she squeaked, turning to glare at him with an irritated look in her blue eyes. Sitting further away, an older man could only pinch his temples. He didn’t want all those blasted children (three of them, at least) with him as they waited for her to awake. He could have taken Linda and only Linda, but the other two insisted on going – friends of her, at least. About to protest, Roger Ruvie was only silenced as Wammy allowed the three to go.

As the three children began to argue, the older man glowered and raised his voice, rebuking them harshly. The boy and girl huffed, turning away, and the other boy could only sigh as he looked at the small figure in the hospital bed, not making any sign of movement. Once a few minutes had passed, he got up from his chair and spoke.

“When will H wake up?”

Flipside: The Impossible Belt

Hello, and good evening to you all! As you may have seen, I recently posted an entry entitled The Impossible Belt, which spawned from a challenge given by Giselle. The challenge was simply this: to portray the 2p!Shoujo Parallels. Particuarly, the XDees. She let me choose only four to depict, but for some reason, I ended up choosing six. In this blog post, I'll be explaining those characters, what's happening and whatnot - so, click the read more for more information!

The Impossible Belt

The Impossible Belt

“Congratulations Ms. Adler, keep this up and you just might up getting Excellence this March.” Spoke the middle-aged teacher as he handed his student a test paper, unsurprised at her feat. “Some of you need to follow Ms. Adler’s example in my subject, no one wants to end up repeating their senior year.” As she sat back down, the students next to her peered at her paper, wondering how she was able to ace Physics, balancing her studies and her social life. Said student merely glanced down at her paper, not bothering to take note of where she went wrong.

“Now, we discuss the results…what is it, Ms. Gomez, do you have a question?”

From the corner of her eye, Arizona Adler spotted Chloe Vanto give her a thumbs up and a grin. The girl only nodded briefly, looking back at her paper and saying nothing more. Smirking, the curly-haired Chloe could only chuckle and lean back on her own chair, not caring about the 89 she had just received in the subject. If anything, Arizona had made wonders yet again – and despite all of that, she had no reaction.

"Don't move."

“Don’t move.”

“This is the second time we’ve stumbled across them!” she growled, running with the Doctor as they were chased down – not an unusual occurring to them both. “Are you mad?! Where’s the TARDIS when we need it, get us out of here or I will cut you into half!” the Doctor grumbled to himself and stopped in front of a door, stumbling for his Sonic Screwdriver and using it to unlock the metal doors. They opened and yet they ran again, she cursing him for even bringing her to that place.

Her heart stormed in her chest at the sound of the Cyberman coming from behind, and she ran and ran, blindly following the man as he led them to a place where they could hopefully hide. It wasn’t like the time the Angels had cornered them or the time Ood were out to get them. This was different; it was the Cybermen – after witnessing what they could do and how they converted people into their own kind, all Arianne wanted was to get out of their safely. But the Doctor intended to save everyone on that planet – as usual, because of his noble trait that she admired and detested the same time.

Numerous times had he told her the following:

Everybody lives.

The Heart of the Universe

 “Take me to the heart of the universe.”

“So let me get this straight – you pull all those knobs and shit, and we go off into wherever the hell you lead us?” a black-haired young woman stated, narrowing her eyes. The man before her spun around and flashed a grin as the insides of the machine glowed an even brighter shade of light blue. “Time and space and history and time, take me to the Teutonic Order!” she urged, rushing to this strange man with a gleam in her eyes. “The time of the Teutonic Knights – no, no, I want to see the breaking down of the Wall of Berlin…” she paced around, walking around him in circles. .

The man watched her and blinked.

“Well, what is it?”

“No, no…” she stopped and laughed. “Take me to the heart of the universe, and then to the breaking of the Wall – and finally, to the Teutonic Order.” She flashed a smirk. “If you manage to do all of that, I might just believe you about your fancy little box.”

“Little?” he scoffed. “You call this little?”

“I’ve seen bigger. Now take me there, ginger-face.”

"Let the Sky fall."

The Shoujo Parallels: Eri

“Let the Sky fall.”

She took her pistols out, facing the other side of the battlefield. There stood a smirking Celeste and an irritated Alpha, but Eri wasn’t even paying attention to them. She had her green eyes on the one in the center, the one with a brandished sword that bore an orange hilt and dark gems. She gripped her weapons tighter as Amaya turned to look at her, her own eyes stoic and emotionless, warriors behind her. From her sides, she could feel Cissa and Lisa’s tension and in that moment the truth hit her.

They were in war, and it was lose-lose situation for them. If she would win with her comrades, there would be a possibility these past friends of hers would rot in jail or be buried in the soil. If they lost, then she would either be dead or kicked out with her family. She grit her teeth, maintaining her stare with Amaya. Silence filled the air and no one dared to move.

It was only Cissa’s deafening yell that initiated the battle.

“ERI, LOOK OUT!”
