| THE BATTLE: | |
| Variant L | |
| Episode 1 | |
| Red AND GREEN[/center] | |
| [hr] | |
| Voice: "Shane. Shane. Shane. Shane. Shane." | |
| He was in an empty area surrounded by stars. | |
| Shane: "Who are you? Show yourself! Please." | |
| Slowly, a girl with long brown hair and brown eyes appeared. She | |
| wore a green evening dress with long green gloves, and green | |
| knee-high boots. | |
| Girl in Green: "You are ready for your destiny." | |
| Shane: "I'm sorry, what?" | |
| Girl in Green: "You are ready for your destiny. I cannot tell | |
| you my name, for I am not allowed to tell you until... she is | |
| with you." | |
| Shane: "Who? Who is this person you're talking about?" | |
| The girl vanished, fading away out of sight. Everything went | |
| black. Then, slowly, he woke up in a warm bed. He opened his | |
| eyes. | |
| Shane: "... Huh? Wh-where am I...?" | |
| He tried moving. His leg hurt. His arms hurt as well. His neck | |
| hurt even worse. The door opened and a girl entered. Shane | |
| quickly pretended to go to sleep again. | |
| Girl: "...? Still not awake. It looks like my boss is going to | |
| be happy about this... but I'll just give him this shot and--" | |
| Shane: "D-don't eat me..." | |
| Girl: "...! Y-you're... awake...!" | |
| Shane felt a hand on his shoulder. | |
| Girl: "Hey..." | |
| Shane ignored her. He doesn't talk to people who wore masks, and | |
| the girl wore one. And she held a needle. He's afraid of both | |
| needles and headgear. | |
| Girl: "Look, I know you're awake, sir." | |
| Shane frowned. He was just seventeen, and nobody liked him. Who | |
| would suddenly call him "sir" anyway? | |
| Girl: "... Fine, be that way." | |
| Shane: "P-please... d-don't eat me..." | |
| Girl: "What? ... Why in the world would I want to eat you?" | |
| Shane: "S-scary... d-don't... please... d-don't eat me..." | |
| Girl: "... S-s-scary?! I'll have you know that I am not a scary | |
| girl at all! I'm beautiful... wait, you're... really | |
| shivering... with fear..." | |
| The girl brushed Shane's hair out of his face. | |
| Girl: "C-can you please tell me why you think I'm scary?" | |
| Shane: "H-headgear... sharp object... p-please... I don't w-want | |
| to be eaten..." | |
| The girl gasped. | |
| Girl: "Y-you're... scared of a HAT? ... Wait, I'm wearing a | |
| surgical mask, aren't I? I'll take it off." | |
| Shane heard movement. It stopped after three minutes. | |
| Girl: "Okay, you can open your eyes now, sir scared-of-masks." | |
| The girl gave a nervous giggle as Shane opened his eyes again. | |
| He was still shivering, but there was no signs of the mask or | |
| needle. | |
| Girl: "So, you're finally awake. Do you have any idea how | |
| worried I was?" | |
| Shane: "Wh-who are y-you?" | |
| Girl: "Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet. Sorry, it's just... | |
| you were scared of me because of the mask and the needle, so... | |
| Anyway. I'm Kim. Kim Tyranto. I'm a nurse here. And also | |
| assigned to this room, to take care of the patient. Which would | |
| be you." | |
| She winked. Shane frowned again. He felt worried now. | |
| Kim: "So, what's your name?" | |
| Shane: "Sh-Shane. N-Neumann... Wh-what happened? Wh-why am I | |
| here?" | |
| Kim: "Don't you remember being in an accident of some sort?" | |
| Shane: "N-no..." | |
| At the sound of this, Kim began to frown. She sat on the edge of | |
| the bed, and looked at Shane. Only then did Shane notice that | |
| she had green eyes, which ruled out the possibility that she was | |
| the one in his dream, in the green dress. She took a deep breath | |
| and began to talk. | |
| Kim: "Well, you see... there was a big traffic accident | |
| thirty-one days ago. Of all the thirty-one cars in that | |
| accident, you were the only survivor. Every one else... dead. | |
| You're lucky, you know. The only one who survived... and even | |
| so, you were badly injured. Multiple bone fractures, both arms | |
| were broken as well as your leg... but don't worry, it looks | |
| like you're healing rapidly. The bones were set just twelve days | |
| ago and you've already made a quick recovery. I bet you'll be | |
| discharged in a few more days. In fact, I was the one who | |
| performed the surgery, and I'm amazed that you've recovered so | |
| fast." | |
| Shane: "... Th-th-thanks...? ... So, what... am I the 'Teen who | |
| Lived' now...?" | |
| Kim: "Huh? Teen? Wait, you mean... you're a teenager?" | |
| Shane: "Yeah. S-seventeen years old, last I checked... what's | |
| the d-date?" | |
| Kim: "Oh, uh, 31 October 2013. And I'm also a seventeen-year | |
| old. I'm basically a prodigy." | |
| Shane: "... Urk..." | |
| Kim: "You feeling okay?" | |
| Shane: "... D-don't feel well... probably b-because I didn't eat | |
| a thing for thirty-one d-days?" | |
| Kim: "Don't worry. The hospital's done something about that, but | |
| I guess it's understandable if you're hungry. I'll go make you | |
| something. What would you like? Toast? Bacon and scrambled | |
| eggs?" | |
| Shane: "... J-just bacon, th-thanks..." | |
| Kim got up slowly and left the room. Fifty minutes later, she | |
| returned with a plate. She gave it to Shane. | |
| Kim: "I'll help." | |
| Shane: "N-no, it's okay. I'll be okay..." | |
| Shane took the knife and fork and started to eat the bacon. In | |
| less than ten minutes, he finished. Kim stared at him, a shocked | |
| expression on her face. | |
| Kim: "You eat fast." | |
| Shane: "Huh? Oh... I always do... I'm... always in a... hurry... | |
| and bored... right now." | |
| Kim: "... Well, you'll be bored until you're discharged, I'm | |
| afraid. There's nothing to do here, that I know of." | |
| Shane: "Aww... I'll die of boredom..." | |
| Kim: "By the way, it looks like you'll be discharged in two more | |
| days. You know where you live, right?" | |
| Shane: "Yep." | |
| Kim: "I'll escort you home. My older sister can take us there. | |
| Tomorrow's my final day, as it happens, since I only took this | |
| job temporarily. I did it to get a little pocket money, you | |
| see." | |
| Shane groaned. He didn't want to wait but what choice did he | |
| have? | |
| Kim: "Relax, you at least have a TV to watch." | |
| Shane: "... Well, I missed so many episodes of the things I | |
| watch that it's useless..." | |
| Kim: "Huh?" | |
| Shane: "If I miss a certain amount of episodes of my favourite | |
| television shows, I stop watching it. And I've certainly missed | |
| more than three episodes of Pok�mon, Naruto, Monsuno, Monk... oh | |
| darn, I missed the final episodes of Monk and Monsuno!" | |
| Kim: "... Well... a lot has happened. Monk solved the case of | |
| Trudy's murder, Monsuno continued into its second season, the | |
| remaining episodes of Naruto are mostly filler arcs, and | |
| Pok�mon... well, a Regigigas sure is terrifying, isn't it?" | |
| Shane: "... Isn't there something I could read?" | |
| Kim: "Magazines?" | |
| Shane: "They bore me." | |
| Kim: "Well, I could see what I can find..." | |
| She left the room. Shane closed his eyes. Who was that girl in | |
| green? Was it just a dream? He barely heard a voice. | |
| Shane: "Huh?" | |
| Kim: "You spaced out a bit. Something on your mind?" | |
| Shane: "I had a weird dream, that's all." | |
| Kim: "Here." | |
| Kim gave Shane a book. He looked at the cover. It was [i]Harry | |
| Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. | |
| Kim: "It belongs to me, but you can have it." | |
| Shane: "I have one at home, you see, so I'll just borrow this | |
| then until I get home. If that's okay with you?" | |
| Kim smiled. | |
| Kim: "Yeah, it's okay." | |
| Shane had spent twenty-three hours reading the book, which | |
| shocked Kim greatly. She had no idea he could read that fast. | |
| She had bought him a pen and an exam pad so that he could try to | |
| draw people and things. Then, the following day, the door opened | |
| as a girl with a familiar face entered. She held an umbrella in | |
| her gloved hands. | |
| Kim: "Hey, Shane!" | |
| Shane: "... Morning..." | |
| Kim: "You don't sound enthusiastic about this." | |
| Shane: "Of course not. I'm entirely confused." | |
| Kim: "About what?" | |
| Shane: "Because... this isn't Gansbaai, this is Hermanus. I | |
| don't remember anything of the day of the accident. My memory... | |
| just one large blank gap between September and when I woke up." | |
| Kim: "I believe it's normal." | |
| Kim winks as she helps Shane get up from bed (he felt worried | |
| again). Shane had trouble walking well, even though his leg has | |
| regenerated completely. It was raining hard against the windows. | |
| As they left, however, they met a man on the way to the car of | |
| Kim's sister. He had a scar over the right eye. | |
| Man: "Hey, you, girl. Come with me." | |
| Kim: "Sorry, no, I'm supposed to be escorting my friend to his | |
| home." | |
| Man: "This will just take a second." | |
| Shane realized something looked odd about this man. He had seen | |
| the guy before... | |
| Kim: "Sorry, but no." | |
| Man: "C'mon, it'll be fast." | |
| Shane: "No means no." | |
| Man: "Who asked you, punk?" | |
| Shane gasped. This guy was a criminal. He had escaped from a | |
| prison in Cape Town recently, and killed three guards in the | |
| process. It was on the news... he remembered that perfectly. | |
| Shane: "Kim... call the police." | |
| Kim: "What?" | |
| Shane: "He's a wanted criminal and an escaped prisoner..." | |
| Kim hurriedly took her cell phone but the man ran towards her! | |
| Man: "You're gonna die now, girls!" | |
| Shane was taken aback by this comment; he never had a chance to | |
| get a haircut. | |
| Shane: "Hey! I am not female!" | |
| Shane stepped in front of Kim to defend her from the attacks of | |
| the man. A punch aimed at him was ducked. Shane countered with a | |
| kick to the stomach, which made the criminal stagger. | |
| Kim: "Shane!" | |
| Shane: "Don't worry, I'm not hurt yet... ah! My arm..." | |
| Kim: "You're still too weak, Shane!" | |
| Shane: "I'm... not giving up!" | |
| The man quickly grabbed Shane by the neck and threw him towards | |
| the wall. Then he took a gun and shot Shane with it several | |
| times. | |
| Man: "Hah! Your friend is now dead... and SO ARE YOU!" | |
| Shane: "O-oh no... y-you d-don't...!" | |
| Shane threw a rock that was nearby to the man, using the last of | |
| his strength. It hit the man squarely on the nose. | |
| Man: "WHY YOU LITTLE... DIE, DIE, DIE--" | |
| Voice: "Not so fast." | |
| Man: "Huh? I'm supposed to kill these two kids!" | |
| The man turned around to find a guy dressed entirely in purple. | |
| Guy in Purple: "Goodbye." | |
| With a snap of his fingers, Shane's wounds were healed entirely, | |
| the bullets magically disappearing! The criminal also | |
| disappeared from view, as though he had turned invisible. The | |
| guy in purple turned to face a shocked Kim and an angry Shane. | |
| Shane: "Where is he?" | |
| Guy in Purple: "He has been teleported into jail. In fact, if he | |
| tries to escape he will suffocate, for his jail is an | |
| intergalactic one. Of course, everyone will believe that he | |
| committed suicide, because I will it so." | |
| Kim: "Y-y-you..." | |
| The guy in purple started levitating, and began to fly away. | |
| Shane: "OH NO YOU DON'T!" | |
| It was too late, however. The guy in purple was already gone. | |
| Kim: "Wh-what was... that about?" | |
| Shane: "I... I don't know... but... for some reason... it | |
| doesn't hurt..." | |
| Kim: "What? Your wounds are gone..." | |
| Shane: "Yeah... C'mon, let's just leave already." | |
| Kim: "Okay." | |
| Kim and Shane got into the car after it had arrived... | |
| Meanwhile, in the skies... | |
| Guy in Purple: "They fell for it. They believed every lie I've | |
| told them. Who? Oh, the Purple Karjam? I doubt he knows. | |
| Considering this galaxy is immune to fourth-wall reading, he'll | |
| have to have been an eye witness to know. Nega? Oh, no, | |
| Nega-Lime Karjam has no idea as well. In fact... those two kids | |
| I encountered... they're unique. And I mean more in one way... I | |
| understand, Rzlrazulzrlmnqural. Yes, that criminal human being | |
| will do nicely for my evil plans to destroy them before it | |
| happens in this universe as well... Goodbye." | |
| The guy in purple turned his phone off. | |
| Guy in Purple: "Primitive, these human beings are, to believe a | |
| lie so quickly. And these devices? Outdated where I'm from... | |
| and it is foretold that several other heroes and heroines will | |
| arrive to join those two kids on their journey. I am to wait for | |
| that... ha ha." | |
| Back at Shane and Kim, a few hours later... | |
| Shane: "Thanks again, ms. Tyranto." | |
| Kim: "Please, call her Blaze. She's just three years older than | |
| me." | |
| Blaze: "No problem. So who's going to take care of you?" | |
| Shane: "Huh?" | |
| Kim: "You were the only survivor of that accident, remember. I'm | |
| guessing your parents travelled with you?" | |
| Shane: "... Probably, as I'm not allowed to leave home without | |
| their permission... but... they're...?" | |
| Blaze: "Yes. Looking at the wreckage, it looks to me as | |
| though... this was all premeditated. In other words..." | |
| Shane & Kim: "It was planned?" | |
| Blaze: "I'm afraid so. Say, Kim? That incident you described... | |
| with the magic-using guy... don't tell anyone." | |
| Kim: "Got it." | |
| Blaze: "You're not to tell ANYONE about that. Neither are you." | |
| Shane: "I understand. People here would think I'm crazy, I | |
| guess." | |
| Kim: "Yeah, that's true." | |
| Shane: "Besides, everyone in my home town hates me. So much that | |
| they've even tried killing me a couple of thousand times..." | |
| Blaze: "A couple of-- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE POLICE?!" | |
| Shane: "They hate me as well. And also corrupt." | |
| Blaze: "I'll have to bring this to the attention of my | |
| superiors, I believe." | |
| Shane: "Hey, I wasn't serious about that!" | |
| Blaze: "Don't joke about things like that!" | |
| Shane: "Sorry... but--" | |
| Blaze: "In any case, I'll be going now. Take good care of him, | |
| okay?" | |
| Shane: "Wait, what?" | |
| Kim: "What? You're leaving me here?" | |
| Blaze: "Of course. It's an order. You're the only person I can | |
| trust with this. Caitlin's too young and Kunu has college AND | |
| university to worry about." | |
| Kim: "Caitlin's just 11, yeah, but Kunu's 16." | |
| Shane: "... Uhh... does that mean she has to order me around?" | |
| Blaze: "If she wants to, sure. But you live here, right? So it's | |
| your house. You can order HER around if you'd like." | |
| Shane: "Okay!" | |
| Kim: "Uh oh..." | |
| Shane: "I order you to... order yourself." | |
| Blaze: "Well... wait, what?" | |
| Kim: "... I don't follow." | |
| Shane: "Just make yourself at home, something like that. Think | |
| of it as your own, I suppose. I don't like ordering people | |
| around. Except myself, but that's for when I'm too lazy to do | |
| what I want to." | |
| Kim: "Oh... Thanks, then. Will you be bringing my stuff from | |
| home?" | |
| Blaze: "Sure thing, sis." | |
| Blaze got in the car and drove off. | |
| Kim: "And here I thought I was going to have to wear a maid | |
| uniform..." | |
| Shane: "Do as you like, Kim." | |
| Kim: "So I can terrorize you?" | |
| Shane: "Uh, please--" | |
| Kim: "Relax, I'm joking. I won't terrorize you deliberately." | |
| Shane: "... Oh." | |
| Shane entered his house, Kim following. | |
| Kim: "You know, this place is a bit small." | |
| Shane: "My parents had plans to add on to the house, but... it's | |
| pretty expensive." | |
| Kim: "No worries. ... Where's your bed? I only see the one. Or | |
| do you sleep on the couch?" | |
| Shane: "... Actually, above the couch, near the roof. Got a lot | |
| of head injuries though, stupid wooden beams... but I guess | |
| until my leg and arms are fully healed, I'm going to have to lie | |
| on the couch." | |
| Kim suddenly squealed. | |
| Kim: "Wow! A 1920 by 1080 screen! AWESOME!" | |
| Shane: "... Well... that's with luck. Computers are expensive, | |
| but I got my current one for about one thousand rand. I think. | |
| If I remember correctly. Was in 2011... Urk. I'm going to be | |
| spending a lot more time here than usual." | |
| Kim: "Why?" | |
| Shane: "Nothing to watch, remember?" | |
| Kim: "Shane, do you have Internet access?" | |
| Shane: "Why? It's too slow for YouTube, I'm afraid. Mostly." | |
| Kim: "It's just... there's a whole bunch of forums I'd like to | |
| join. There's this guy on some of them named Shane, who goes by | |
| 'S Bane N' on some of them--" | |
| Shane: "Wait, 'S Bane N'...?" | |
| Kim: "Yeah, apparently stands for 'Shane Bane Neumann' according | |
| to... that... guy..." | |
| Shane: "Huh? Could you repeat--" | |
| Kim: "No way! YOU'RE the legendary Shane or S Bane N?! THE guy | |
| with eleven Cave Story mods?" | |
| Shane: "... No? That wasn't me, it was someone impersonating me. | |
| I found out about it some time ago, and resolved the issue. | |
| Since then, though, the impostor gave me permission to work on | |
| those mods and fanfics." | |
| Kim: "I see... Wait, impersonating?" | |
| Shane: "Yeah. Just to ruin my reputation, apparently. Whoever it | |
| was, though... appears to have disappeared... and succeeded. I | |
| was going to say it after we arrived, but your sister cut me | |
| off." | |
| Kim hugs Shane. | |
| Shane: "Uh?" | |
| Kim: "Sorry. Had I known, I wouldn't have brought it up." | |
| Shane: "Nah, it's okay. The truth did come out, after all.. The | |
| truth will always be revealed, no matter what!" | |
| Kim: "You remember back at the hospital, right? You told me you | |
| had a weird dream?" | |
| Shane: "Yeah, I remember. The dream was scary, too." | |
| Kim: "Tell me about it, please." | |
| Shane: "Um, okay... I was standing in an empty void with stars." | |
| Kim: "In other words, outer space." | |
| Shane: "Probably. Anyway, it'll go quicker if I'm not | |
| interrupted." | |
| Kim: "Sorry." | |
| Shane: "A mysterious girl appeared, saying that I'm ready for my | |
| destiny, and mentioning that there's someone else who should be | |
| with me, only then would she say her name. She looked similar to | |
| you, just with brown eyes and green clothes." | |
| Kim: "Was it a green dress with gloves and knee-high boots?" | |
| Shane: "... How'd you know?" | |
| Kim: "I guess you've found 'her', then. The one who is to | |
| accompany you, apparently." | |
| Voice: "Excellent. You have found each other. Now..." | |
| A girl appeared suddenly, wearing a green dress, gloves and | |
| knee-high boots. | |
| Girl in Green: "... I can tell you my name now. I am... Sarah le | |
| Roux. And I am... going to kill you." | |
| Shane: "Gah!" | |
| Kim: "What?!" | |
| Shane: "Another one after our blood?! Just what is going on | |
| here?" | |
| Kim: "We're doomed, she's... able to vanish, so... I guess this | |
| is goodbye--" | |
| Shane: "I object! It's not over..." | |
| Shane quickly leapt to his feet and grabbed a pack of cards from | |
| a nearby table. | |
| Shane: "I'm not gonna hold back, I'll do what I can! Kim, run as | |
| fast as you can!" | |
| Kim: "No. I'm not going to run. Not this time." | |
| Shane: "Look, Kim--" | |
| Sarah: "Let her do what she wants to, Shane." | |
| Kim: "I have no choice, Shane. It's either us both or neither of | |
| us." | |
| Shane: "... In that case, I probably ought to get a deck for you | |
| as well." | |
| Sarah: "I'm sorry, what? A deck? You're... going to fight me... | |
| using cards? Ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Fool! | |
| This isn't Castle Oblivion, you know, this is your home!" | |
| Shane: "I'm a duelist, and while I may not believe in the | |
| so-called 'heart of the cards', I believe that I will do what I | |
| can do protect my friends!" | |
| Kim: "Shane..." | |
| Sarah: "You don't stand a CHANCE against me. Duel? Hah. I don't | |
| play childish card games. Even if I did, I'm more powerful than | |
| you two think. I can easily make those cards' effects and such | |
| real. Enervating Mist? Pretty easy for me to create. Dark | |
| Magician? I can easily make him come to life to annihilate you | |
| all. You're doomed, both of you." | |
| Kim: "... We have no chance, Shane. We're as good as dead." | |
| Shane: "Look, I refuse to give up!" | |
| Sarah: "Maybe I ought to torture you two... by teleporting you | |
| to the Venas continent of Draconia, where you'll suffocate and | |
| die painfully!" | |
| Kim: "N-no! P-please! Anything but that darn continent! I don't | |
| want to go there!" | |
| Shane: "...! Y-you... you know what she is talking about?" | |
| Sarah: "Oh, ha ha ha! You haven't even told him yet, have you, | |
| princess?" | |
| Shane: "What on Earth are you talking about?" | |
| Kim: "N-n-no... I haven't..." | |
| Sarah: "Good. Then my orders remain - to kill you two. After | |
| all, I've been ordered to kill you both if that boy finds out, | |
| and only to kill him if not. However, he survived that car | |
| accident, and was taken to the hospital you were temporarily | |
| working at, princess. I had to do something. And how better than | |
| planting dreams in your minds to make you think that you are | |
| ready for your destinies... when in fact, you were going to die! | |
| That way, everyone on Draconia would think that you were | |
| planning on revealing its existence to Surfacia!" | |
| Kim: "... Y-you were behind that accident...?" | |
| Sarah: "Yeah. Also, I buried your pets alive, Shane." | |
| Shane: "Wh-what?!" | |
| Sarah: "Sad, but true. I hate animals. Especially that so-called | |
| 'cute' cat with the ginger-and-black coloration. What was the | |
| name... Simba, was it?" | |
| Shane immediately closed his eyes. Slowly the ground started | |
| shaking. Shane stepped out of the house. Kim ran after him, and | |
| Sarah teleported to the outside. | |
| Sarah: "... Didn't know Gansbaai experienced earthquakes..." | |
| Shane: "......" | |
| Kim: "Shane..." | |
| Shane: "...... Grrrrr..." | |
| Kim: "... Shane?" | |
| Shane: "Grrroaaaaarrrrrrrr!!!" | |
| Kim: "Ieeeeeea!" | |
| Sarah: "What the?!" | |
| A red aura surrounded Shane, who now had two tails. He turned | |
| around. His eyes had turned entirely red, his teeth were even | |
| sharper than that of a tiger, his nails had turned into claws | |
| and he was on all fours. The ground finally stopped shaking when | |
| his clothes turned red. | |
| Shane: "GRRRROAAAARRRRR!!" | |
| Kim: "M-m-monster!" | |
| Sarah: "That can't be! B-but... how...?! H-he's just a fool! A | |
| Surfacian! A human!" | |
| Shane: "Grrr... GRRRRROOOAAAAARRRRR... Grrrr..." | |
| Seven more tails appeared. Now Shane had nine tails. | |
| Sarah: "What in the?!" | |
| Kim: "He's... possessed by a nine-tailed demon fox...? B-but | |
| that's impossible...!" | |
| A small bolt of energy appeared at all nine tails, and all those | |
| bolts were swallowed by Shane. Then he breathed fire at Sarah, | |
| who teleported away to dodge. | |
| Sarah: "... This is not even possible!" | |
| Kim: "N-no..." | |
| A weird mark appeared over his right eye, a strange-looking | |
| pattern. His hair grew in a way that it covered both of his | |
| eyes. Slowly his nails returned to normal, and he got up again. | |
| Shane: "GRRRROOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!" | |
| A pillar of fire struck Kim from below, however, she absorbed | |
| the flames instead of being harmed by it. | |
| Kim: "... Shane... please... fight back against it... I... I beg | |
| of you..." | |
| Shane: "Grrrr... GGGRRROOOAAARRR! You arrre... going to... | |
| rrregrrret yourrr actions... le Rrroux..." | |
| Sarah: "Ack!" | |
| Kim: "Shane...?" | |
| Shane: "Stay back, Tyrrranto... I might harrrm you forrr I have | |
| no contrrrol overrr this incrrredible powerrr... | |
| GGGRRRROOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR!" | |
| Kim: "Shane, please, don't! You could destroy the entire town! | |
| And you're still recovering from the wounds you've got from that | |
| accident and that strange guy..." | |
| Sarah: "Wait, what strange guy?" | |
| Shane: "GGRRROOOOAAAAARRRRRR! Do not rrremind me of that | |
| imbecile! He trrried to kill us forrr an unknown rrreason... and | |
| some guy in purrrple took him away...!" | |
| Sarah: "Wait, guy in purple?! You mean the Purple Karjam?" | |
| Kim: "Who?" | |
| Shane: "Purrrple... KARRRJAM...? GGGGRRRROOOOAAAARRRR! THAT NAME | |
| ENRRRAGES ME! Yet... it has a familiarrr sound. I don't... | |
| Grrr... Know why it sounds so... FAMILIARRR! GGRRROOOAAAARRRRR!" | |
| Kim: "Ieeeeeeeeeeeek!" | |
| Sarah: "The Purple Karjam is a good guy, he's actually | |
| investigating you to try and figure out your powers. At least, | |
| as far as I know. That guy changes his plans so quickly I can | |
| barely keep up." | |
| Shane: "INVESTIGATING ME?! GGGGRRRROOOOAAAARRRRR! HE WILL BE | |
| DESTRRROYED FOR THAT!" | |
| Kim: "Ack! Shane... y-you're scaring me... and hurting me..." | |
| Shane: "...! How am I hurrrting you...? I am standing overrr | |
| herrre... nearrr the gate, while you arrre standing at that | |
| doorrr..." | |
| Sarah: "She's so scared that she's getting hurt by the fear, you | |
| nitwit. And besides, the Purple Karjam is more powerful than | |
| you, except for inside your Dream Realm. I saw how you two | |
| battled. It was a GLORIOUS battle!" | |
| Shane: "... Drrream Rrrealm...? You darrre make fun of all | |
| this?! I SHALL TEARRR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB FROM LIMB! AND THEN I | |
| SHALL DECAPITATE YOU INTO OBLIVION!" | |
| Kim: "STOP IT!" | |
| Kim runs to Shane. | |
| Shane: "Kim... STAY BACK...!" | |
| Kim: "No. I'm through with you not listening. Didn't you notice? | |
| She said she saw how you two battled. Have you ever met this | |
| Purple Karjam guy?" | |
| Shane: "... You have a point... GRRROAAARR! It's not even | |
| possible, forrr I have never met this Karrrjam guy before!" | |
| Sarah: "I'm talking about another you, you idiot. In another | |
| dimension." | |
| Shane & Kim: "What?!" | |
| Sarah: "See, there exists thousands of dimensions. In one of | |
| those dimensions, you two died because of your bond, as you wore | |
| special equipment. However, thankfully, Shane's younger sister | |
| was equal in power and thus prevented the end of that dimension. | |
| In another dimension, you two are both married. In a third, you | |
| two were kidnapped and almost brutally murdered by the | |
| Syrinitians, but you two were rescued by, of all people, | |
| Nega-Lime Karjam. That one was a shocker to everybody, even | |
| Charlotte. Of course, none of you would know, you're just in | |
| this one tiny dimension. And I can travel all dimensions due to | |
| my unique curse - only one of me exist. There's only one Sarah | |
| le Roux, and I can travel between ALLLLLLLL the dimensions | |
| without needing a Karjamian Dimensional Transporation | |
| Device-thingy." | |
| Shane: "GGGRRROOOAAARRR! You arrre lying so much...!" | |
| Kim: "Wait, what's a Syrinitian?" | |
| Sarah: "What's this? This is interesting. You don't know where | |
| Syrini is?" | |
| Kim: "No, I don't." | |
| Sarah: "... Strange. Your home country is in a war against it, | |
| and yet... you have absolutely no idea what it is? How stupid | |
| can you get?" | |
| Kim: "..." | |
| Shane: "... GRRROOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!" | |
| Sarah: "Syrini is south-east of Venas. And also pretty similar, | |
| in that it's a highly toxic swamp." | |
| Kim: "Wh-what?" | |
| Shane: "... You LIE... and I will obliterrrate you! Prrreparrre | |
| yourrrself!" | |
| Sarah: "You can't lay a finger on me. Dark Form on." | |
| In a bright flash of light, Sarah's clothing turned black. She | |
| also gained a jacket, leggings, and a mask that looked scary. | |
| Shane: "...! Gah!" | |
| Kim: "... No way... now we really don't have a chance." | |
| Shane: "... RRROOOAAARRR! YOU FOOL! MY FURRRY PRRREVENTS ME | |
| FRRROM FEARRR..." | |
| Shane breathes fire at Sarah, who dodges it with a | |
| teleportation. | |
| Sarah: "Ha, like that's going to--" | |
| In an instant, Shane rushes at her, and slashes at her with his | |
| now-clawed hands. Her mask is entirely cut in half as he leaps | |
| back to Kim. | |
| Shane: "GGGRRROOOAAARRR!" | |
| Sarah: "N-no way! Th-that's...! Of course, I had forgotten... | |
| that's how you defeated yourself in another dimension." | |
| Kim: "I've had enough of you, you sick *****." | |
| Shane: "GGGGGRRRRROOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRR! NEVERRR SWEARRR IN | |
| FRRRONT OF ME!!!!" | |
| Kim: "Eeeeeeek!" | |
| Shane: "NOW I AM TRRRULY ANGRRRY!" | |
| Shane charges up a beam of massive power and fires it at Sarah, | |
| who teleports again to dodge. However, somehow Shane was already | |
| behind her, and he slams her into the ground with his nine | |
| tails, crashing into the beam. A massive explosion occurred as | |
| Shane lands in front of Kim. | |
| Kim: "P-please... s-stop..." | |
| Shane: "Grrr... grrr... grrr..." | |
| The smoke clears. Sarah slowly stands up; her black dress was | |
| covered in her own blood and her gloves and leggings were torn | |
| to shreds. | |
| Sarah: "This is insane... I'm outta here! I can't die... not | |
| without causing a major death everywhere...!" | |
| She quickly took out a smoke bomb and it exploded, creating a | |
| lot of smoke. When it clears again, she is entirely gone. | |
| Shane: "GGGRRROOOAAARRR! She has escaped my wrrrath! I shall | |
| destrrroy herrr!" | |
| Kim: "Shane, just c-calm down, please!" | |
| Shane: "Fine, I will... grrr... trrry..." | |
| Kim: "By the way, I hate how you make the 'r' even longer. You | |
| sound like a tiger or something." | |
| Shane: "... I apologize sincerrrely... but it appearrrs to be a | |
| side-effect of this... trrransmogrrrification... Sorrrrrry about | |
| it. It should prrrove that I cannot contrrrol my angerrr..." | |
| Shane's tails and claws disappear, his hair turns to normal, and | |
| so does his eyes and teeth. The strange pattern vanishes. Shane | |
| collapses on the ground, unconscious, as his clothing returns to | |
| normal as well. Kim drags him to the couch in the house. | |
| Kim: "Don't worry, Shane... no-one in town will remember the | |
| chaos you inadvertently caused. And once you awaken... I shall | |
| tell you the truth. Like you said... the truth will always be | |
| revealed, no matter what may happen." | |
| With that, Kim put on a gas mask, created some sort of barrier | |
| around Shane, and waited until nightfall to make her plan become | |
| a reality... What was that plan? | |

| The Purple Karjam, who arrived recently, spotted the imposter | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Elsewhere... | |
| Two young girls were spending the day at the beach, having fun | |
| building sand castles and sand kingdoms. The elder of the two | |
| wore a red swimsuit, with red gloves and stockings, and red | |
| high-heels. The younger girl wore a school uniform. | |
| Girl 1: "This is actually pretty fun, for our first visit to | |
| this town." | |
| Girl 2: "Say, aunt Taylor?" | |
| Taylor: "Hmmm? I'm not an aunt yet." | |
| Girl 2: "When will we return home?" | |
| Taylor took a deep breath. | |
| Taylor: "I don't know, Alison. We've got to wait-- huh?!" | |
| In a bright flash of light, a purple portal opens! A mysterious | |
| man, his skin entirely purple in color, steps out, holding a | |
| blood-stained battle axe! | |
| Man: "ME SMASH!" | |
| The man leaps at one of the people at the beach, and decapitates | |
| him! Alison flinches in fear. | |
| Taylor: "What in the?! We've gotta stop him!" | |
| Alison: "But Sur--" | |
| Taylor: "WE HAVE TO STOP HIM AT ALL COSTS!" | |
| The man leaps at another person and cuts her in half. Alison | |
| winces in fear. | |
| Taylor: "So much blood...! If he kills everyone at the beach, | |
| he'll kill everyone in town! We have to stop him no matter what! | |
| So what if everybody finds out about us not being human, THAT | |
| thing isn't human at all!" | |
| Alison: "Fine then... b-but blood... so much b-blood..." | |
| Taylor: "Oh yeah, you've got haemophobia. I'll handle this guy | |
| on my own then. You just... get help or something, alright?" | |
| Alison nods and quickly runs off. | |
| Man: "ME CRUSH!" | |
| Taylor: "Hey! Axe-crazy axe murderer of an axe-crazy axe | |
| murdering kind of axe-murdering axe-crazily with a blood-stained | |
| axe!" | |
| Taylor shakes her head. | |
| Taylor (thinking): "(That was redundant.)" | |
| The man turns to face Taylor, snarling. | |
| Taylor (thinking): "(I just hope that thing doesn't ruin my | |
| swimsuit, otherwise I'm going to ruin it all the way to Drea!)" | |
| Man: "ME OBLITERATE!" | |
| The man leaps towards Taylor and swings his axe. Taylor quickly | |
| casts Phase Door, teleporting her a short distance away. The axe | |
| hits the ground, and purple spikes appear, along with a purple | |
| mist! Taylor starts coughing. | |
| Taylor: "S-some sort of t-toxic... gas...? Can't... breathe..." | |
| Man: "ME DESTROY!" | |
| Taylor falls to her knees, coughing even more. | |
| Taylor: "Need... oxygen... I'm... being killed here... | |
| everything... getting... dark...... Ig... Ignis..." | |
| Man: "ME ANNIHI... LATE...?" | |
| Taylor closes her eyes, losing consciousness. The last thing she | |
| heard was a loud roar... | |
| [hr] | |
| Several hours later... | |
| Taylor slowly wakes up, finding a girl next to her who wore a | |
| gas mask. | |
| Girl: "Aunt Taylor! You're okay! You're okay!" | |
| Taylor: "Wh-who are you? Wh-where am I?" | |
| Girl: "It's me, Alison!" | |
| Taylor slowly sits up. The room was that of the hotel room she | |
| and Alison was staying in. However, there was a thin yellow mist | |
| hanging around in the air... | |
| Alison: "We're at our hotel room." | |
| Taylor: "Wh-what's going on?" | |
| Alison: "I have no idea, to be honest. That just appeared | |
| suddenly. It's so yellow." | |
| Taylor: "And familiar... ah! Amnesia gas!" | |
| Alison: "What?" | |
| Taylor: "Back on Elvania, during the Seventh Elvanian War, | |
| amnesia gas was used to make the opposition forget about their | |
| plans, and me and my sisters were the only ones who weren't | |
| affected by it for some reason! Amnesia gas causes amnesia to | |
| those who inhale it, slowly draining their memories away | |
| depending on how long they inhale it. If they inhale it for a | |
| day, they forget the previous day's events, if they inhale it | |
| for four days, they'll forget everything that happened four days | |
| before inhaling the gas!" | |
| Alison: "Where's your gas mask?" | |
| Taylor: "Didn't you hear what I said? Me and my sisters are | |
| unaffected by it." | |
| Alison: "Oh. So aunt Taylor?" | |
| Taylor: "Just... Taylor. Call me Taylor. I'm seventeen, I'm not | |
| an aunt! You're just fifteen." | |
| Alison: "Sorry." | |
| Taylor: "So what was it?" | |
| Alison: "There was another incident elsewhere in town. I saw | |
| nine tails made of a red aura. Heard a lot of roaring. And... an | |
| explosion." | |
| Taylor: "WHAT?! We should investigate! What about that... | |
| thing?" | |
| Alison: "Dead. You burnt it to a crisp before you passed out, I | |
| suppose." | |
| Taylor sighed with relief. | |
| Taylor: "And thanks to whoever is behind the amnesia gas... | |
| nobody will remember that monster. C'mon, let's go." | |
| Alison: "I'm from planet W�r, remember? Some Draconian princess | |
| visited there once. She chose to make everyone on the planet | |
| forget using amnesia gas... but I was casting Barrier, so I was | |
| unaffected. Could it be her?" | |
| Taylor: "Who knows? I've never even heard of a Draconian | |
| princess." | |
| Taylor leapt off the bed and went outside the hotel, followed by | |
| Alison... | |

| *Out of a portal, two boys jump out* | |
| Boy 1: "Louis, we're finally here!" | |
| Boy 2: "Yes brother, we reached this place." | |
| Kushagra: "So, now that we are here, we should find out where | |

| Louis: "Yes, we.... Wait what's that yellow fog?" | |
| Kushagra: "It's Amnesia gas, but since you have my blood, it | |
| won't affect you." | |
| Louis: "Okay... So what now." | |
| Kushagra: "The beast was in that direction, and I want you to | |
| change yourself into a phoenix and scout the area. I'll try to | |
| trace the aura, and keep me updated via telepathy." | |
| *Louis turns into a phoenix, and flies off to Shane's house* | |
| Kushagra: "Good. Now time for my aura reading." | |
| *Kushagra sits in a meditation pose, levitating in the air. His | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Meanwhile, at that same time, two young girls wearing gas masks | |
| entered the town; one of them, a brunette, was sleeping and the | |
| other, a blonde, was levitating her. | |
| Blonde Girl: "Why does she have to be scared of gas masks? | |
| Whatever that flame was, we could see it from Ireland, and she | |
| didn't want to come along, so I just had to go and knock her out | |
| with chloroform. Ugh, today is, like, so not my lucky day." | |
| The brunette girl stirs. | |
| Blonde Girl: "Oh crap, she's waking up!" | |
| The brunette girl wakes up, sitting up straight... then she | |
| screams. She falls to the ground with a thud. | |
| Brunette Girl: "Somebody! Help me! Someone!" | |
| Blonde Girl: "Shut your mouth, Charlotte." | |
| Charlotte: "Help me! Someone!" | |
| Blonde Girl: "It's me, Jane Aulin. I had to take you along, | |
| you're the more skilled witch, I'm not very skilled with magic | |
| and you know that. And then there's this yellow gas that's | |
| here... wonder what's going on." | |
| Charlotte looks around, trying to avoid looking at the girl | |
| nearby. She notices a yellow mist, although it slowly | |
| dissipates... | |
| Jane: "Huh, the gas is gone, but we're still wearing these gas | |
| masks just in case--" | |
| Charlotte: | |
| "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" | |
| Jane sighs, then she spots movement. | |
| Jane: "Hey, who are those two girls over there? HEY, YOU TWO!" | |
| The two girls ignore Jane and Charlotte and continue running. | |
| Jane: "They're going away... Analysis!" | |
| Charlotte: "Thank good-- heyy!!" | |
| Jane grabbed Charlotte by the arm and dragged her as Jane rushed | |
| after the two girls. | |
| Jane: "The gas is mixed with some kind of sleeping gas too, it | |
| seems, and also appears to remove memories when inhaled, | |
| depending on how long the one responsible wills it... so ten to | |
| one everyone who inhaled it will forget everything about today | |
| and yesterday." | |
| Charlotte: "Aaahhhhhhhhhh!!!" | |
| They stop outside a house, where the two girls are attempting to | |
| break through a fence. | |
| Jane: "Hold it right there!" | |
| Charlotte: "Just let me go~!" | |
| Jane: "No, Charlotte Seymour, I won't!" | |
| The two girls stare at the brunette girl... | |
