Lasarius Chronicles: Chapter 2: Donna's Point of View (POV)



"*Beep* This stop Okayama. Repeat, this stop Okayama."
The announcement took me back to reality as I closed my journal.
Okayama? Oh. Thats right. According to the train station maps, this is where I had to get off.
As I walked off the ramp in the train station, the smell of the various foods being served at the station restaurant and the sight of so many people going to and fro in their daily walk about of life reminded me why I was fighting in this war. So many innocent people..
..How many of these people will be involved in the war by the time it's through?
I shook those thoughts from my mind, looking around for the bus I had to get on to reach the Masaki Shrine.
I'm not too sure why we really needed Tenchi Masaki and what would be the cast of 'Tenchi Muyo' anime (atleast, thats what it was in my world.). Jennifer herself said that they would probably be more of a bother than of a help. I don't really agree with Jennifer. I was just doubtfull that the peace we had in our temporary base of Knothole2 would last much longer with the 'Tenchi' group.
I sighed at the thoughts, looking around for the gate to the right train.
..I wonder how Jennifer and the others are doing back at Knothole2?

Mini Story: Third Person Point of View

"Aah! Damnit! This can't be happening!!" Came the furious yells of a red haired female, attempting to slam the cards angrilly to the floor. They really only fluttered.
Laughter from about four people were all that responded to her, all of which were still holding their own cards in their hands (or what worked as hands).
"You now owe me one million yen, Lina." The blond-haired, tanned girl grinned as she said this.
Lina Inverse, the infamous (atleast on her world) sorceress, growled. "Oh, shut up. You may be Miss Donna's little sister, but I can kick still kick your ass!"
The blond-haired girl, Sharon Kunz, just grinned a bit. "You would be in very big trouble with the Queen.."
Lina just growled.
The other three around the table laughed more.
Lina, now quite red in the face, suddenly stood up and pointed a finger at Sharon, "I CHALLENGE YOU TO A REMATCH!!"
"..Another one?" Sharon sweated somewhat. "This would be the sixth one, you know."
"Oh, just quit while you're behind, Lina." Came the retort of a brown robot-like creature. It actually looked like a brown robot with animal parts.
"What was that??" Lina glared at the robot.
The robot just chuckled, getting a huge grin on his face. His name was actually Tasmanian Kid, the youngest from the 'Cybertron 2' group.
Kid just chuckled, "You already owe her loads of cash. Just quit now and spare yourself some dignity. Not to mention some cash."
Lina's face couldn't possibly be more red than it was at that moment.
Lina growled, storming away from the area.
"..Well, that was strangely entertaining." Grinned a human-like rabbit.
"Hare, any time someone gets annoyed and it wasn't your fault you think it's entertaining."
Hare laughed, "Yup!"
"Hey, who's up for another round of Poker?" Gomamon, the white seal-like creature from the Digimon group, held up a pack of cards to emphasize his idea.
"Me!" "Sure!"
Sharon stayed a bit silent.
"..I wonder if Donna's all right..?"
------------------------------------------------------------- ---

Donna's POV:

Before I even entered the house, the smell was alluring. It carried the smell of a five-star restaurant.
Well, at least I knew I was at the right place.
I had heard that the young girl, Sasami, cooked meals for the rest of the residents of the Masaki Shrine, but I didn't think she had this much talent..
*Ding-dong*. Hmm. They have a doorbell that sounds on the outside as well as the inside.
I could hear happy yelling (or what I hoped was happy yelling) from inside the house.
The smell of the food, the laughter and yelling, the scenery of the shrine and the area around it..
No wonder there are so many people living in this place.
"Hi!!"
I turned around abruptly from looking at the scenery to the door. A blond with a somewhat ditsy smile was standing there, greeting me.
Mihoshi, the Galaxy Police cop (and the reason space ships crash so much, and why blonds such as myself have a bad name), started asking questions before I managed to utter a sound.
"Hi! How are you? Are you here for Tenchi?"
I blinked. "Um, yes. I'm Donna Kunz. I'm from--"
"Tenchi!! Someone is at the door for you!!"
Hmm. Interrupted before I even got to say who I was. This was a first.
"Hmm?" Tenchi stood there a moment later. "Oh, come in."
I walked into his house upon the invite, looking around.
"Make yourself comfortable."
I smiled politely at that, sitting at a couch. "You're Tenchi Masaki, correct?"
Tenchi nodded, "And you would be?"
"My name is Donna Kunz. Mr. Masaki, I know of the adventures you and the others here have gone through, and the dangers you have faced."
"W-what do you mean?" Tenchi seemed somewhat taken aback at that.
"I know all about you, Yosho, Aeka, Ryoko and the others. And I need your help."

----------------------------------------------------------- ---

Ten minutes later:

"So..Will you all help us?"
"How much will you pay?"
I sighed at Ryoko's question. Ever greedy space pirate..
I had a feeling I would regret this. "Ten million yen."
Hmm. I've never seen jaws actually hit the ground like that before.
"May I take that as a 'yes'?"
Ryoko nodded faster than I had ever seen someone nod, "Yes! When do we--"
*Beep! Beep! Beep!*
I blinked at the sudden beeping. Apparently, so did everyone else.
I reached into my pocket, taking out a small round silver device with a red circle in the middle, holding it circle-up in my hands.
As soon as I pressed the button on the 'front' of it (Actually, I wasn't sure if it was the front or the back, due to it's circular shape), the beeping stopped and a semi-transparent image came out of the circle.
I recognized it instantly.
"Neo Queen Selenity?"
The hologram nodded. "Miss Donna, your assistance is needed back at Knothole2 immediently."
I blinked. Strangely, everyone else was quiet.
Okay, perhaps not so strangely. They probably didn't expect me to have a transdimentional hologram communicator, if they even knew what one was.
"Um..What is that?"
I didn't even bat an eyelash at Tenchi's question, "A THC."
I turned my attention back to the hologram, despite Tenchi's continued annoyed/confused expression. "Why? Did something happen?"
Another nod from the Queen. "Celious is dead."
I blinked several times at that.
"Celious? As in, the centaur warrior from the 'Monster Rancher' realm?"
Yet another nod.
"How the hell did that happen??"
Neo Queen Selenity sighed, "Our enemies. Miss Donna, his friend Dragoon is still captured, and, as you can imagine, Centaur blames himself.
I nodded. Centaur 'lead' the trio, so of course the leader would blame himself if one of the team would be killed.
"I'll return as soon as I can."
Queen Selenity nodded once again. "Good."
The hologram disapeared after that.
"..Are we leaving now?" Ryoko piped up.
I nodded, almost mirroring what Neo Queen Selenity had done a moment before.
As I put the THC in my pocket, I took out a nother device that looked like a remont control with a mini screen on it. It reminded me of the slider portal used in 'The Sliders'.
I pressed a button on it, pointing it to a clear empty space. A circular vortex which seemed to suck air in (but didn't suck in anything else) appeared.
"Woah." Was all Tenchi could mutter.
"Okay, then. Follow me!" I walked right into the portal.

-------------------------------------------------

Knothole2, Twenty minutes later:

"Okay, what the hell is going on?!"
I blinked at my younger sister at the question. "Just what it sounds like. Neo Queen Selenity ordered an emergency meeting in the auditorium for the leaders of each team."
"Why?"
"Didn't you hear, Sharon? Celious died."
My sister's face had a look of shock. "Wh-What? How?"
"Ambush. Atleat, thats what I got out of Centaur."
Sharon still looked shock, "Wow..Centaur must feel pretty badly."
"To put it mildly, yes."
Sharon looked at me strangely for a moment, "I'm guessing you're representing the family, huh?"
I nodded, "Of course. Mom and dad don't know anything about anyone else here, and Leroy knows less than they do."
I thought for a moment as my sister continued to stare at me. Mom, Dad, our brother Leroy..
Oh, yeah. Almost forgot.
"And you're younger than I am, so I have age superiority."
"Yeah, right." Sharon stuck her toung out at me.
"I rest my case."

-----------------------------------------

Auditori um meeting room, ten minutes later:

"As you've all heard, a warrior's life was lost in battle earlier today."
Neo Queen Selenity sure gets to the point quickly. Didn't spare any bluntness this time.
"And the warrior's friend is still captured by the enemy. Does anyone have any ideas on a rescue mission?"
The entire auditorium, filled with at least fifty leaders of the various teams, was silent for a moment.
"What about a stealth mission? Send in one or two spys for a break in-break out job." Came the suggestion from Cloud Strife. "I say we fireball the place and take him by force!"
"Lina, sit down." Jennifer sweated in annoyance at Lina Inverse.
"One or two alone have a risk of getting captured themselves. The last thing we need is to loose more able bodies."
Cloud brooded at the remark from Tamahome.
"Well, if we send in more than four, we run a risk of getting seen and attacked premature to the rescue itself. Two is too small a group to do alone."
Silence again as everyone stared in surprise at the rather intelligent-sounding observation from Sonic the hedgehog himself.
Sonic just blinked, "What?"
Neo Queen Selenity looked thoughtfull, "Four warriors to send in to rescue the warrior Dragoon, then."
Jennifer, who sat right next to me, thought. "But, who do we send?"
Neo Queen Selenity thought for a moment, looking downward.
When she did look up a moment later, she looked to me.
"Miss Donna, I want you to write up a list of the best four to go by tomorrow morning. You know more about everyone in Knothole2 than anyone else."
My eyes widened a bit in surprise, "Me?"
Neo Queen Selenity didn't need to answer the question. "You may all return to your previous duties."

--------------------------------------------------

Lasarius Chronicles: Chapter 3: Jennifer's POV: What's this guy doing here? The Starlights show themselves!


Sighing and sweating in annoyance, I began to undertake the task before me.
It wasn't the usual chore Neo Queen Selenity gave me, such as dishes or to train a less-experienced soldier in fighting. No, this one was somewhat different.
I had to restrain a soldier, if you could even call him that.
I turned my head to look at Sailor Mercury, one of Neo Queen Selenity's close friends and the Sailor Senshi of water/ice.
"What in all the Earths possessed you to ask Happosai for help??" I continued to hold onto the 3-foot-tall 90-year-old (possible older) man. I don't care if he can crush a 30-ton boulder with his finger, he's still a jerk.
Mercury blushed, I think from embarressment, "Well..He is a strong fighter."
"Woohoo!"
I looked down at the old man I was holding, begenning to twitch. "Get your hands away from there, you old fart!"
"Aaw.." Happosai withdrew his hands from my breasts.
This guy could really use a pounding.
I growled, "Know what? I am not going to restraint his guy. You asked for his help, and you're going to deal with him."
With that, I released the old man, who bounded away rather quickly.
I looked to see Mercury's reaction.
Wow. She was actually twitching.
"Should I ask why Selenity wanted him restrained?"
"Ah..Well--"
"IIEEE!" "GIVE THOSE BACK!!" "GET BACK HERE!!"
Well, looks like I got my answer.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you look to your left, you will see Happosai carrying women's underwear and being chased by angry females..
Sighing, I walked away.
I could faintly hear the joyous (to me, anyway) sounds of Happosai being pounded by the girls..

---------------------------------------------------------- ---

"Let me at him! LET ME AT HIM!!!" Came the cry of a rather angry purple-haired eleven-year-old, who at the moment was being held (but struggling against) what looked like a two-legged orange rabbit with robot legs and left arm.
"Yolei, sugah, jus calm down!"
"I'M GONNA POUND HIM!!"
I sighed. This had 'Happosai' written all over it. Since the old fart got here, he's been nothing but trouble.
"Hey, Yolei, Bunnie." I greeted rather calmly.
"LET ME GO!!"
Sigh. Yolei has such a one-track mind.
Looking to the half-robot half-rabbit, "Lemme guess..Happosai?"
"If ya'll mean tha ol' human with a love fer womahn's underpants, then yup."
I grumbled something that I wouldn't want to say out loud under my breath. Stupid Happosai..
"I'M GONNA GET TH--"
"IIIEEEEE!!"
Yolei's rant was interupted by the screech. All three of us froze, turning to where the scream came from.
...Where there's trouble, there's Happosai.
..And where there's Happosai, there's at least one angry girl chasing him.
"Ah. Akane! Hi!" I yelled somewhat cheerfully to the angry short-black-haired girl, who was chasing Happosai with a rather large mallet.
"..I really have to get one of those hammers." I could hear Yolei mumble.
Bunnie let go of Yolei at this, probably so she wouldn't attract some odd suggestions from the more sick-minded soldiers, "Is th' ol' guy always lahk this?"
It took me a moment to translate the cowboy-accent speech in my mind. "Um, yeah, pretty much."
"YES!!" Yolei bounded off, now free from Bunnie's grip, joining Akane in chasing Happosai.
"He's..He's not gonna go ohn any missiahns..Is he?"
Wow, that was almost completely without any accent. "I really hope not."
I couldn't help but grin when Akane and Yolei caught up to Happosai.
Hehe.."Pound him one for me, guys!!"
---------------------------------------------------------
< br> "So it's agreed that the four on the rescue mission would be Rattrap from the Maximals, Ryoko from Tenchi's group, Heero from the Gundam pilots and Espio from the Chaotix. Correct?"
Donna, who sat next to me in yet another auditorium meeting, nodded.
"I figured since it's an in-out mission, we should be as quick and silent as possible. Those four were the first to come into my mind for this mission."
I gagged a bit, "You're putting Rattrap and Ryoko on the same mission?!"
Donna blinked at me, "Um..Yeah..I mean, Rattrap is a spy, and Ryoko can do that neat teleporting thing.."
"Are you insane?! Rattrap has a mouth i'm not even sure Espio can handle, and he's the silent-brooding-cynical type!"
Donna blinked again. "Um..Jen, have you been eating salsa again?"
I growled in frustration. "Ryoko and Rattrap would sooner blow each other up."
Silence in the auditorium. Strangely, it was silent throughout our entire argument.
Which was rather odd, considering there were at least fifty to a full hundred different leaders from the various teams here.
Looking around at their expression, I noticed a mix of amused, shocked, surprised, and some even horrified expressions.
I sighed. Many of them didn't know who those four warriors were, nevertheless why they shouldn't be on the same team.
"Let me put it this way so everyone can get it. Rattrap is a cynical robot who's alternate mode is a rat-like vehicle. He's proud of his rat form. His favorite past time is digging through trash, literally. He's proud that he digs through trash, and makes fun of alot of other people for what they do. Rattrap is also a guy. Ryoko is a female former space-pirate. She's proud to be a wanted criminal in half of the universe she's from. She loves Tenchi, who's sitting up three rows and to the left once from me." Tenchi blushed furiously at that. "She's even appeared naked to Tenchi at least once, if i'm not mistakened. She would kill a princess for him, and has tried. She's proud to be an attempted murderer. You see why they wouldn't get along now?"
Mumbling and whispering throughout the auditorium at this. Tenchi was silent, blushing a furious red and slinking down in his chair.
He probably didn't want to be here at this point. Heck, he probably would prefer being in battle than being here.
"..You've seen her naked?" "HEY!"
Boy, Tenchi really didn't want to be there. Heh.
Donna sighed. "You painted the picture very well, Jen. But, still, they are the best combination we can get."
"And that's what scares me, D."
"And who would you send, Jen? Happosai?"
"Which brings us to our next topic.."
I blinked at the interuption from Neo Queen Selenity.
"Next topic?"
"Happosai."
I laughed. He's become this much of a problem that he's become a meeting topic? More importantly, he's become a problem to Neo Queen Selenity?
A strange thought crossed my mind.
"Um, your highness, has Happosai stolen anything from you?"
Neo Queen Selenity twitched an eyebrow. Strange for her, as she hardly shows anger. "Yes."
"What in the--HEY!!"
Blinking in slight surprise at the outburst, I looked to Donna.
"What--" Looking out the window she was pointing out of, I spotted what I knew was going to become a regular sight.
Happosai 'sneaking' (he probably had no idea that we could see him) out of one of the houses. Carrying woman's underwear and bras.
"HEY!! That's MY room!!" Lina Inverse yelped, running towards the window.
Neo Queen Selenity twitched an eyebrow once again. "Dismissed."
Lina took that as permission to run after Happosai, jumping out of the first-floor window with a yell of, "FIREBALL!!"
I laughed. Hard. This was just too funny.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey, Genki, Centaur." I greeted, again, cheerfully to the two 'Monster Rancher' realm warriors. The chaos Happosai caused earlier made me pretty happy.
"Hey there, Miss Jen!" The ten-year-old boy, Genki, replied just as cheerfully, if not more so. His name doesn't mean 'happyness' for nothing.
Centaur didn't reply at all, stareing out into nothing.
"Uuh.." I blinked. Centaur was more out of it than usual.
Genki seemed to realise it, too, "Hey, Centaur? Are you okay?"
Still no response. Hmm..
"Earth to Centaur, are you there?"
"They're gone."
..Well, at least it was a kind of response.
Genki frowned, but then smiled a moment later, "Don't worry, Centaur! Once we find the Phoenix back on our world, Celious will be alive again!"
Centaur was still silent at Genki's attempt to cheer him up. If anything, he frowned even more.
Something wasn't right...
"Centaur, what's wrong?" Genki asked, probably not understanding why Centaur didn't respond.
It then hit me. "Centaur..Which world did Celious die at? Yours or this world?"
Centaur was silent for a moment. "This world."
Genki looked confused, "I don't get it. What difference would it make?"
I frowned deeply. I was worried about this. "Centaur, when Celious died..did he turn into a Lost Disc?"
Genki still looked confused, "Of course he did, why shouldn't he?"
Centaur responded after a short silence, "..No."
"What??" Genki yelped.
I looked to the ground, understanding. "I was afraid this would happen. In this world, they don't turn into Lost Discs. They're the same as humans here, probably because there is no Phoenix here. No way for them to return to life even if the Phoenix in your world is summoned."
Genki turned as white as a sheet sometime while I was talking, "Wh-what??"
I frowned, thinking. If the ones from Genki's world are as vulnerable as the human warriors, then..
"I'm going to tell Neo Queen Selenity to call an emergency meeting. Genki, tell the others in your team about this."
Genki nodded, still in an odd form of shock, "O-okay." And with that, he raced off.
I looked to Centaur, who still looked into oblivion, before I walked off.
If my suspicions were correct, many more could suffer the same fate as Celious in this war, without the benefit of being reborn..
-------------------------------------------------------------< br>
"What do you mean that the Digimon won't be reborn??"
Oy. Now it was getting annoying.
"This is the third time i'm explaining this, Daisuke. Davis. Whatever you wanna be called."
Daisuke (self-nicknamed Davis), the 10-year-old leader of the younger Digidestined group sure had a thick skull.
Either that, or no brain. It's still being debated.
"If the Digimon die, they won't turn into little specs of digital data like in their world. They'll jus plop down dead like humans. Understand now?" Just gotta keep it simple..
"But..Why??"
I felt like banging my head against a wall. Hard. Repeatedly.
Donna chuckled a bit from her seat in the auditorium.
Well, Selenity called the emergency meeting for this discussion. Now it was only a matter of time before the idiot leaders of the various teams got the information through their thick skull.
At my exasperated sigh, Donna took over the explaining.
"Davis, the Digimon here are made of flesh and blood just like when you're turned into digital data in their world, so--.." Donna paused at the completely confused look on Davis's face.
Seesh. How did he become leader, anyway?
Donna sighed, "They just do, okay?"
