Fan Fiction ❯ Powerpuff Maximum EX. ❯ Chapter 27
Something was off about the whole mission, he came here to track down the corrupted official, Sarah Bellum, and she wasn't here. But the resources were saying there is a person fitting her description going to Japan and taking over a Black Mafia base there, and since it's basically a life long mission to take down the Black Mafia anyway he was going on another trip.
Lately he had notice the Black Mafia wasn't what it use to be, in the past Mitch walked - sometimes crawled - away from a destroyed base barely alive and badly injured. But now they were breezes, and he doubt it was his skills.
He knew that the Black Mafia is breaking down, it was only a matter of time before it crumble under it's own weight. But he wonder if there wasn't something worse awaiting for this moment, to step in where the Black Mafia once stood.
Aw, a little pain never truly hurt anyone, Mitch thought. It just makes them stronger.
The priests of the near by shrine stood before the twisted tree, a tree that has a large crack in the center where once a small part of this evil had escaped into the world. They perform this ritual every year to make sure the seal is refreshed so the true monstrous evil within can't slip into this plane,after the first stage of thanking the near by kami (gods/spirits) and giving them gifts they began to seal off the area with selected talismans of many religions from around the world (pentagram's, crosses, beads and other items) and placed a talisman onto the tree in each direction.
The second half was finished and they went down to the nearby waterfall to clean off the darkness and influencial evils and they would return to the shrine to thank the kitsune god for a safe travel.
Blossom came out during the day and greeted the sailors, she hadn't noticed many of them kept mecca beads and anti-evil scrolls in their pockets. It's strange on how after a little information can change one's prospective of where they lived.
Deciding that maybe it be a better idea to hide until sun down she went inside and watched a little tv when she saw the shadow being, it was actually a shadow that had some depth to it.
Luckily the sailor it went after slapped a anti-evil scroll onto the thing's "head" and driven it away, Blossom kind of felt useless and watched a little tv. Time seem to drag and Blossom became more and more anxious to learn something to better herself as a person (and kick butt better).
When it was finally sunset and people were coming out Blossom speed walk down to the shrine and found the two old fashion stores next to the shrine had out there signs.
The one on the left of the shrine read mahou (magic) and the right of shrine read ken (sword).
It was time to start buying and learning.
"Where is that brat?" Ms. Bellum shouted as she received word that the red head Kessha Kitsune isn't in the major cities of Japan (and every city has been mispronounced by the former mayor.)
"I can't afford to have her running around, she is a danger to me," she shouted at a poor soldier.
"And I can't afford to have you run around, you are a danger to this organization."
The entire room became very cold as Ms. Bellum froze, she knew the voice and she knew she was in trouble. She zipped down her top a bit and turn to face Mr. Morebucks with a nervous grin, she could tell from the look on his face that it wasn't a simple problem; she hiked up her skirt too and was one blink away from pleading for her life.
"Go to the master chamber, I'll met you there," Mr. Morebucks said as Ms. Bellum ran off do what he said. It was better than being dead in her opinion.
Usagiko was almost dancing around the castle when Mr. Morebucks left, she was left behind because her boss thought she would just slow him down.
She didn't really cared, as long as the cruel windbag is gone she is truly happy. In fact she doubt he would be coming back, in her mind she is sitting in that large onyx chair ordering around the Black Mafia and making other people wear really tight bland uniforms with extra padding in the right areas.
In her bout of happiness she didn't notice a figure reach around, she did notice the arm crushing her windpipe a little as she was lifted off her feet and dragged back into the shadows and grip was loosen a little to allow some air into her lungs.
"Where is the spells?" The hostage taker said.
"I am loyal to the one that gave me life," Usagiko said, but there wasn't much ethusism behind it. "I will never tell so you better kill me now, I never feared death."
"Are you truly loyal to the one that gave you life?" The hostage taker said coldly. "If so which one, the mad creature with the magic to collect your soul or the poor soul, which was my mother, who had to birth a 13 year old girl in five hours."
"What?" Usagiko cried out, she remember the rebirthing and the face of the poor woman that had to go through it before being sent off to be trained into the ninja she is today. "If that was your mother... Than you are my..."
"Brother?" The hostage taker spoke even more coldly than before. "I don't know about that, I barely recognize my other sibling."
Usagiko was quite for a moment, the image of that poor woman laying on that alter covered in blood and Chemical X kept rolling over her mind. That was this person's mother, she owns him something for killing her.
"The spells in behind a shelf in the janitor's room on this floor, you find it by the scuff marks on the floor from it being moved so much," Usagiko said. "Can you tell me how you are?"
There was a moment of silence as the hostage taker released Usagiko, then there were foot steps as the brown haired boy walked down the dark hall to find the spell room. Usagiko felt her throat and shook her head, she betrayed on that gave her life for the son of the one that truly gave her life.
So two wrongs do make a right.
