Princess Mononoke Fan Fiction ❯ Speed Prodigy ❯ Wild Beauty ( Chapter 5 )

Wild Beauty

 

It was 8:30pm, still early for all the alcohol benders and energetic biker gangs to crave into mayhem and adrenaline. The neon lights of bright, synthetic colors padded across parades and walls of flashing towers of caricature designs. The cars continue to pile and pile out of their incompetence of trying to pass away the time of being jammed and crushed between each other, with their lashing tongues of cussing and howling horns. There were people so individual from the next with pink fluorescent hair to stripy vintage style dresses that ought to be classed as PVC latex.

Ashitaka had always had this weird peculiar relationship with the city. He adored the way that the urban development had adapted itself from simple detached housing to soaring skyscrapers higher and piercing the sky. The way that the flashing lights of simple colors like red, blue, yellow and green made him feel like he was living in an alien world where everyday is party day. The other side made him feel that he should feel grieved and ashamed from the infestation it unleashed; the established and nature-growing trees were torn and ripped of their roots to create a world where more humans can live in, perhaps they must had ran out of room because of humans fucking around with unwanted pregnancies. Nevertheless…he was content and happy.

The Major swiveled round his slick black bike and brought it to a sudden stop near some private car parks along with Sono, as then he drew out his video mobile and tapped on the screen button with his thumb to show the address that was given by Yuka.

“This was the place that the address was given to us.” Sono then leant over to see and compare the two.

“Huh? That's strange…that means that the address leads us…” They both then slowly looked up to the building in front of them, where they saw up ahead, was a two storey structure, with static flitching lights of deep pink, pale green and electric blue swirling around in optic fiber tubes decorated in mature patterns, there was a small group of people given access by a bouncer to enter through the hard graffiti doors all dressed in wicked styles of punk vogue. It was a club; a club for rockers and ravers to unleash their primitive menaces through solid music.

“No way can we get through that; at night it's the gang's time to drink heavily and go crazy, it must be the moon doing the work.”
“That's right, the cops only come into scenes where incidents can go extreme, but its gang's job to correct any offences towards them; that's what they chose through the rewriting of the Tokyo law and policy.”
“Bad idea, that's what I think; causes more crimes then the policy we had before. But first things first, how can we get inside.” Ashitaka looked at the structure of the building on the outside, but with his video mobile, he took a camera shot of it. With the use of his digital internal effects, the picture that he took merged into thin structured lines of the building.

“I can get to the roof through a steam chimney, whilst you can slip out at the back; it would be best if we spilt up again to avoid any suspicions.”
“What's the objective Major?”
“Find Princess Mononoke, and bring her in for an oral investigation.”
“Right.” The two highly-trained police men then got off their bikes in a synch tone, and walked in different directions.

Sono first kept to a speedy, strong walking pace when then he lowered it around the corner of the building, he then saw a narrow alley way where there on one side saw tall broke pipes dripping with rainwater into the puddles, and on the other was a fire exit. He went up to it with haste, but there was no handle. He cussed a little, but then he drew out a small circular device with a red button at the top, he pressed it gently with his thumb, stuck it firmly against the door, he then curbed his way back round behind the wall close to the corner's edge; holding another button in his hand, but with the press of that one, a small yet quite violent lash of fire exploded from the door, and it swung open freely. Sono smirked a little, before he then taped on his head piece to turn it on.

“I can get in now; it's your turn.” Ashitaka then switched off the piece and looked at the building he was in front off, it just looked too easy; the emergency ladders and levels gave him simple access to the roofs above, all he wants to do is jump.

So then, he bent low a little, and then leaped boldly into the air diagonally on the first level, and then on the next, swinging his arms back and pointing his face to the black rich night sky. The air streamlined against his clothes as he then reached onto the roof's surface, before sprinting like rapid fire and somersaulting backwards onto the roof of another building. One more graceful flip and he found himself on the roof of the night club, where in front of him he saw the steam chimney in which climb down under.

 

UNDERNEATH THE roof was the very top level of the night club, where they hold the velvet scarlet carpets and the freaky framed abstract pictures for their main theme of undergo rock. One of the tiles of the ceiling slid away; revealing a square hole where then the Major cunningly and silently slid down from. On his right side was the elevator, but he didn't want to take just incase anyone finds a police soldier sneaking into a night-legal clubhouse, so then he looked around some more;, observing the room as carefully as he can, until he found a door that lead to some stair cases on his far left. He quickly crept around to the doorway, as he got passed he saw a dark teal, narrow room of the staircases, he looked down as he placed one hand on the balcony, where he saw the long slender, not to mention steep, space of where the stairs encircled it, leaving to a very huge drop. But for Major Kaneshiro, it was another problem that can be solved with the click of his fingers. He steadily jumped over the balcony as his feet were pointing to the ground; the air rushed through his hair and his hands were out to keep his balance steady. But then, he grabbed onto the second-to-last balcony he saw in front of him, and his speeding fall stopped, only then to drop safely to the ground floor on his feet, as he then straightened his jacket out and stood up directly before walking over to the door, where over there, it lead him straight to the dance floor

. The room was lightened and dazzled with oily luminous lights of fierce pink, deep blue and sweet green, all in patterns of grease and water slithering across the curved ceiling, where there was a glasses of wine bottles clattered together to make crystals of the stalagmites over the roofs. There was one DJ over with his electronic advanced decks, with his headphones in his ears and remixing one TATU's songs `Clowns', blurred with drums and bass, and the crowed was somehow acting cool and crazed at the same time; they were dancing, but not too wildly, almost as if this place is more likely their style rather than banging their heads against the walls until internal bleeding ruptured in their brains. Anyways, the search must continue, as Ashitaka entered into the breezy dance floor, as the song changed into a remix of Eiko Shinamiya's `Naraku No Hana' one of Japanese's favorite soundtracks from the detective anime `Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Kai' a cute yet bloody animation full of torture and needles, yet the crowd loved it. His slow paced walking through the crowd made him blend a little to the motion of waving hands in the heated atmosphere in sync with the beat and rhythm, he silently brushed pass the dancers of oil and slick, trying to get into a small space the crowd, as the music transformed into Groove Coverage's `Poison'; the techno cover was more popular than Alice Cooper's version. And that's when she came.

She was striding along in her half-gothic purple flamed boots and her leather slick trousers, as she swung her arms midway covered in fishnet materials of elastic wrapped around her arms up to the rims pf her fingers and thumbs. The Major stopped as he saw her firm flat belly with an amethyst gem embedded in her belly button, seeing her pelvic bone, he looked up her strutting walk, as her tight purple top bounded her abdomen and bust, with the rim of the sleeveless top reaching up to her cleavage and her nape. There was a tribal mix of aboriginal and gothic tattoos of blood red and oil black on her left shoulder, and more strangely enough, there were luscious scarlet triangles on both cheeks and on the middle of her forehead, where her short mix of teal green and light brown fringe covered parts of it, and her prickly hair stuck out brightly with her bangs hanging behind her ear with a few stripes of electric blue and violent violet stunning out in front.

Ashitaka was stargazed, he watched her soldier stride down through the middle of the space that was open to him. The lyrics of the song spun in motion with her movement.

 

“Your cool devised,

Your blood like ice,

One look, could kill,

My pain, your thrill…”

 

His lips were pursed, his mouth was moist and his fingers rubbed against each other as the synchronization of the music and the daring punk female strode down the walk.

 

“I wanna love you but I better no touch,

I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop,

I wanna kiss you but I want it too much,

I wanna taste you but your lips solve them of

Poison,

Your poison running through my veins,

Your poison,

I don't know how to take this down…”

 

What was it about her that made his blood rush rapidly in his body? What was it about her that actually made him lighten up and spur for the first time? What exactly was it? Yes, she may look vivid and feral. Yes, she may act stern and untouchable. But her gorgeousness gained sovereign over her body like thick hot oil raining over her white patterned skin. Yes she was wild, but it was her wild beauty that made the Major ecstatic.

But suddenly to interrupt that moment, rapid images of himself dashing through forest woodland and spears of fires came soaring at him through the dusty night went static in his mind. Ashitaka rubbed his forehead and grunted a little.

“Major? Major come in.” His head piece went off in static mode.

“Yes I'm in.”
“I found her.”
“Where is she?”
“On the dance floor, purple top with tattoos on her face.” Ashitaka immediately looked up as he saw the girl enter back into the dance remix. He couldn't believe it. It can't be her…can it?
“How do you know it's her?”
“Because my wireless net device can connect with everyone's piece in this room and they're all named by a code name, and I just detected Princess Mononoke.” Ashitaka looked at the girl once more as she dispersed away into the camouflage of the dancers rubbing themselves upon each other, with the ultra beat still pumping hard.

“Where are you now?”
“On one of the platforms.” The Major looked up above the ground floor and saw that Sono was till merging in with the crowd; not dancing, but merging.

“Right, I'll get her then.” The Major drew out from behind his back the neon-electric hand-cuffs just like the ones he used on the hackers from the list. He kept them behind his back and walked his way over to the girl, where she was sitting on some couches along with a few other punk-rockers.

 

“THERE SHE is! The wolf herself!” A man with colored streaks in his vivid modern fringe style and an outstanding uniform of a red biker outfit, along with a few other's in the same mode.

“What? There's no need for an audience for my entrance.”
“Well you are a little late.”
“I wasn't hacking today, if that's what you mean.” We she sat down with the one in the biker suit, the others went silent for a moment.

“Speaking of which…did you receive an invitation from the Hustler?”
“Yeah…but I'm not going to take part in it. All I do in hacking is just to cause riot; I don't want to have the entire world's money from one man's domination for Tokyo.”
“Girl you got morals.”
“Oh shut up! This rebel has got attitude not morals.”
“And sex appeal.” One whispered in the corner, when then San laughed out loudly and slapped that girl on the arm and wrestled her down out of fun. Then the biker-geared boy brought her back up onto her seat and tickled her side violently, which made her wriggle and squirm out of delight.

“Princess Mononoke: advanced hacker, martial arts fighter and a feisty woman, brought to her knees by a few tickles!”
“Get your grubby hands off me!” She giggled loudly and wrapped a bear hug around him.

 

BACK WITH the Major, he was getting closer with every slow step he took. But then, something caught the corner of his eye to turn. Like himself half-stationary but still moving; there was another man, unlike how the other people in the room were clothed, he was dressed in a thick black long-coat, thick black glasses, and heavy boots who looked like someone out of he movie `The Matrix'. The Major stared at him for a moment, and realized that he's moving in the same direction as he was. He slowly bleeped on his head piece and whispered through it.

“Sergeant, come in.”
“Yeah, what is it?”
“Check the man on your one o'clock; the one in long black coat.” Sono looked around at first, but then spotted him with his purple eyes lurking on the right.

“Yeah, I found him. He's moving in the same direction as you are.” Ashitaka looked directly at his footsteps; they were in sync with his. He was starting to get cautious a little, but then with a glimpse of a gun in that man's pocket he turned full-on aware.

“He has a gun, and I think he's going for the girl.”
“I've spotted another one in black; he's making his way over to you guys.” Ashitaka looked behind him and saw another black-clothed man walking over with a gun in his hand. “You just concentrate on the one near you.”
“Right.”
The tension was drawing nearer and nearer to the lounge, as the funky group of young 20 year olds in vibrant clothes and bad-ass attitude. The Major kept his one hand on the handle of his gun near the side of his thigh covered slightly by his bright cobalt jacket. It was getting nearer; closer to the empty space from dancing men and women. The young girl in he purple top was still enjoying herself with the man in the red biker outfit; having a laugh, that's what they were just doing. Ashitaka was then quite harshly shoved on the shoulder by a rude punk man, but then, the man in the long coat finally got out from the crowd, and quickly drew out his gun.

“Ashitaka he's gonna shoot her!” The Major quickly turned his head around as he saw the man aiming a gun at the girl's head. He miraculously slid pass the crowd, and shoved the man to the ground. But a bullet was fired, yet as Ashitaka knocked it off target, it didn't hit the girl; it hit the biker boy. His head flicked back and a fountain of blood spat a little onto the girl's face, as her energetic happy smile immediately mutated into a frown of horror, when his body dribbled to the floor with her arms trying to support him. Screams echoed the room as the music stopped playing and the dancers fretted away in shock. The other man in the black coat drew out his weapon too, but not quick enough to stop Sono from shooting a bullet to his head and went dead cataleptic.

Ashitaka had the man pinned to the ground, as he punched him on the cheek twice with his right elbow drawing up high and then plummeting back down low, and then for the third time, he disarmed the man when he dislocated the man's shoulder with the crunching of the bone. He quickly took away the gun that was fired, yet then a small device swerved behind him, as then his eyes broadened by the bleeping of the red light in the middle. He tossed to one side, when then the device exploded into a thick creamy fog, where it could confuse people's visions and suffocate their lungs slightly; making them collapse out of lack of oxygen.

Out of panic, the crowd went wild and started to sparse around the large dance floor. The Major hurriedly rose back up and coughed a little as he bleeped o his head piece.

“Sono, come in! What's happening?! What do you see?!”
“A SWAT team is coming in through the entrance! It looks like they're from Sector 10.”
“Chisato…” Kaneshiro mumbled to himself as the SWAT members merged in into the thick mist. He tried to straighten himself and searched for the Princess Mononoke. It was hard at first, but then he saw a small glimpse of her as she wondered and stuttered through the dust. She cried out `Help!' as loudly as she could, but was then captured roughly by two SWAT members before Ashitaka could reach her.

“Ashitaka, get out of there now!” The Major had no choice; he had to get out of there, so he then sprinted right back to where he came from, he stumbled a little from the particles of dust surrounding him, but there was room enough to get back into the narrow staircase room, where he then he started to sprint on the stairs. With a few staircases down, parts of the SWAT team finally burst through the door causing it to shatter splinters, and to then storm up the stairs. The Major looked down and saw the hustling men hurrying up, as then he carried on sprinting up he stairs an then reaching up to the top floor; panting hard and heavily with his hands on his knees. And then looking on his side, the elevator door opened to more SWATS', when Ashitaka ran up to the square hole he came from and reached back up onto the roof. And on there, he dashed across the surface, leaping and diving into the thin air. The SWATS couldn't have the chance of getting up there, which gave Ashitaka time to prowl from balcony t balcony on the way down; right down to the ground where there he met Sono safe and sound.

“C'mon Ashitaka! We got to get to the station.”
“Right!”

THEIR MOTORBIKES revved and raged once more, as their electric fire engines fiercely dashed on the roads and to their next destinations.
