Chapter 21
At the aircraft
Clara walked to the door and wave everyone to follow her, one by one they follow clara through the hallway, clara stopped in front of a black and silver metal door and entered the code that led them to a room full of weapons.
Kaori looked around and said: "what is this place?".
"This is where the magic and technology meets, in here we will upgrade all of your weapons and give you high tech suits that will help increase your skills, powers and abilities". Honda said while walking to the monitor.
"We will also need all of your weapons in order to study them and make them more powerful." Clara said as she pointed to the table.
Kana took her katana and hold it to her chest worried and said: "are you sure we should do that?"
Lily also hold her katana and replied: "yeah i don't want my katana to lose its edge".
"You don't have to worry about it…our plan is to study them and make them more powerful". Honda said while typing.
"Think of it as if you're weapons are going through a metamorphosis…they start as a small bug then they turn into a big beautiful and deadly butterfly…or something like that…" Said Honda holding a tablet.
Momo was the first to extend her bow and arrow and ask: "is it safe miss clara?"
"Yes momo is safe so don't worry, just look at Genesis sword, we turned it into a half buster blade half gun a perfect weapon to deal with this type of situations…we also took the necessary precautions to avoid any casualties"
Honda sat on the chair legs crossed and also replied: "and besides you're gonna need the extra boost if you ever want to face the Dr. and those two demons you claim to know…oh and by the way this aircraft is also equipped with a sophisticated training system that will allow us to analyze your training that way we will see hiw strong you are and help us identify if there's any flaws."
The girls looked at each other and slowly walk to the table and hand them their weapons.
"Good now there's one more thing….oh right we might need you kazumi fot this".
Kazumi opened her eyes wide and ask confused: "what me!?".
Clara looked at kazumi and replied to her: "well when we first started to analyze Genesis sword we noticed that it had the essence of an unknown source of magic and it took us forever to find a way to upgrade it, my guess is that all of yours are the same so, we also know that you can wield magic better than anyone in this room so if you could help us the process would be much easier and faster".
"Oh…well i guess you're right, plus maintaining there original state will alse help keep their essence as well".
Honda pointed at Kazumi and said: "bingo my sweet and smart kazumi".
Iris stepped forward and agreed to Honda's idea saying: "all help to, if we combine our strengths and magic the process will fave more effect."
"Well the more help the better". Honda replied leaning on her chair.
"…soooo what do we do in the meantime?" Ask niko.
"Well you could start by resting now…tomorrow you got school…". Clara replied
"What, no…do we have to?"
Cassie crossed her arms replying: "yes niko we have too".
"And besides you've been too lazy this weekend…have you even done the assignment that the teacher gave us?" Ask Hiro raising his eyebrow.
Niko looked at Hiro and laughed nervously saying: "well…i… it's a funny story hehehe".
"….niko…"
"I was very busy with training ok".
"Chasing jason with your mallet is not training niko…". Kana replied with her hands on her hips, niko stick her tongue out at her.
"Clara's right we should go and rest, tomorrow's a new day". Hiro said looking at the glass window in the direction of the hill where the two other anomalies were.
The next day
Hiro woke up a little late because he kept thinking about the images he saw on the monitor, he was walking directly to school passing through the city on the sidewalk when he felt that someone was watching him, Hiro stopped and saw that someone wearing a brown cloth was standing a few feets away, both of them didn't make any movements until Hiro spoke.
"Is there something i can help you with?"
…..
"Can you talk? Are you ok?".
...
"Look I don't want any trouble I'm just in my way to school so i'll just go ok!!".
The stranger raised it's hand and use its magic to pull Hiro's backpack and grab it.
"Hey, what are you doing that's mine!!!!
The stranger turned around and ran through an alley not saying a word, Hiro got mad and ran to him screaming: hey stop give that back!!!".
He followed the sound of footsteps and when he finally got closer he noticed that the footsteps stopped, when he finally reached the corner he noticed the it was a dead end.
"A dead end…" he looked around trying to see if there was another way to run but the walls were to high, see saw on the ground that his backpack was sitting there and slowly but cautiously grabbed it:"what was that about…I've better go I don't want to be late".as he got out of the alley he stop and noticed that the strange person was in front of him: "who are you and why did you took my backpack!?"
The strange person didn't say a word but kept staring directly at him.
Hiro clenched his fist and spoke: "I'm not going to ask again!!! Whi are you and what do you want!!!?".
As he finished speaking the stranger started to walk towards Hiro. He slowly backed off as it got closer to him.
Hiro continued baking up nit realizing that he was in the middle of the street, all of a sudden a truck was heading towards him, the truck driver saw hum but it was to late to stop so he just covered his eyes and prepared for the impact.
Hiro turned his head to see the truck but there was nothing he could do because it was to fast
All of a sudden another strange person came and with an incredible speed took Hiro away and jumped saving his life,when turned to face at who had save him he got a good look and noticed that it was a girl with long black and red hair with yellow eyes, sharp fang and ears like the girls, she placed Hiro on the ground and got up, he got up and spoke.
"Thanks for saving me…can i ask you something?" she looked at him but kept quiet, "who are you".
"You will find out soon…" both of the girls jumped and disappeared.
Hiro was completely speechless but he need it to go back to school so he continue on his way.
He got back to school just in time and entered the classroom, Cassie noticed that he was looking outside the window and decided to talk to him.
"Um Hiro? Are you ok you seem a bit off.."
"Oh, yes i'm fine i was just….thinking that's all".
Cassie was a little concerned: "but is everything alright?".
Hiro smiled and replied: "yeah i'm fine, I'm just a little bit tired that's all".
Lily place her hands in his desk and said: "well you sure don't look like it…"
Hiro turned around and noticed that Akari, momo,lily and niko we're behind him, "oh hey, i didn't see you there".
Akari crossed her arms and said: "well of course you didn't, you just entered the classroom looking all spaced out and totally ignored us."
"Yeah not cool dude" niko said pouting.
Momo walk closer to him having a sad face saying : "I'm worried that something's troubling you big brother".
Hiro walk to momo and pet her head replying: "don't worry momo you're big brother is fine, he turned to face everyone saying: "I'm sorry everyone for worrying all of you.
Momo felt relieved that Hiro was ok and smiled giving him a big hug.
Niko walk to her desk: "well you still owe us for worrying us over nothing then, so now you're going to buy me lunch…"
"Wait…you didn't bring anything to eat?"
"She eat all of her's on the way here…" Lily replied eyes closed.
Hiro kept a poker face and said: "….really niko…"
"What i was hungry".
Hiro shake his head smiling and said: "ok niko i'll buy you lunch…in fact since i kept all of you worried how's about i take all of you to eat at the pizza shop near the park..my treat.. all of them look at each other smiling.
Teacher got inside and saw that everyone was inside so she began her class: "ok class please take your seat we're about to begin"all of them sit down, "i hope that everyone had a great weekend and aslo hope that everyone did your assignment that it was due for today"…niko slowly slides under the desk knowing that she didn't do anything, "well let's get started then…niko, would you be so kind to give me your assignment please".
Niko slide back up nervously and replied: "what why me!? Can someone else hand there's first?."
"Well i suppose i can…but since i'm the TEACHER i can decide who goes first…so hande it over…and no excuses."
"Well…ok let me…um… she began to whisper in her mind, "shit i'm cook, what am i supposed to do… if i don't come up with something I'm going to be in serious trouble i need a miracle…please just one.." she closed her eyes and reach for her backpack.
"Well I'm waiting…" Said the teacher with her hands extended.
As niko was about to talk kyle busted the door open breathing heavily. All of the students were stund so was the teacher, she then said to him:
"Goodness kyle you're 5 minutes late….care to explain?".
Kyle took a deep breath and replied: "sorry teach, i forgot something very important and had to ran back to the house".
"And what would that be?".
"It's Niko's assignment, she wanted to look good so she ask for me and my sisters help, i offered to bring it to school but when i was half way i had to ran back to get it."
Cassie looked confused and said: "i did?.."
Niko also looked confused and replied: "she did?"
Kyle looked at them eyes wide open and replied: "YES SHE DID REMEMBER!!!!".
"Ohhh yeah i remember, i did leave it to you kyle my sweet and dear friend who totally help me with my ASSIGNMENT!!!." Niko replied very nervously.
"Here you go niko"
"Thank you my good man…oh and there's a note?..she read the note in her mind,it was from Clara and it said: dear Niko please try to stay focused on your studies we will help this time...take care. "Phew that was a close one".
The Teacher still had her hands extended replied: "what was that?".
"NOTHING…here's my assignment".
The Teacher took her assignment and looked at it, after carefully reading it she was completely amazed by it and said to niko: "my goodness niko this assignment is very impressive, all of the words numbers and details are very good, you really outdone yourself."
"I did what….oh yeah pffff it was nothing really." She said spinning her pencil with her fingers.
Akari whispered in between her teeth to niko: "don't pushed it niko there going to find out you didn't do it…"
Niko did the same: "i know akari i'm just nervous…"
"Ok then let's proceed with the rest….oh i almost forgot we have two new students joining us in this class".
All of the students await for the teacher to introduce the new students, she walked to the door and opened it.
"Please come in you two don't be shy", both of the new students walked in and everyone was stund when they saw them, "please everyone let's give a warm welcome to...I'm sorry what were your names again my sweetheart's?".
One of them spoke and said: "hello everyone my name is scarlett and this is my twin sister crimmson…"
Both crimmson and Scarlett looked the same, both had long black and red hair, yellow eyes and soft skins, every boy in the class were speechless and had there eye's glued to them.
Hiro noticed something familiar about them but kept quiet.
The Teacher noticed the boys reaction and giggle, "oh my, looks like the boys are very happy to see you".
Scarlett smile and replied: "yeah we've noticed hehehe, sorry about that."
"No need to apologize dear…so crimmson do you have anything to say? I'm sure the class would like to know about you".
Crimmson's voice was sweet, soft and gentle, she looked forward holding her textbook to her chest and said: "like scarlett mentioned earlier we are twin sisters, born under the blood moon, we support each other and had each others back when is necessary…specially when we go out on missions…"
Teacher ask confused: "missions? Blood moon?".
Scarlett quickly covered crimmsons mouth with her hands while laughing nervously: "sorry teacher crimmson is really into dark fantasy novels and sometimes gets into character…what she really ment to say is that we usually go out and do lots of stuff like shopping in big stores and sometimes it gets really crowded hehehe.
"Oh i know what you mean, I'm more into romance novels and sometimes i imagine myself being in a pirate ship being rescued by a really strong men named fabio who has long blonde hair and abdominals so perfect that you can grind meat on it", all of the students blink twice at the same time. "Anyway moving on…since you're new here i should probably partner you teo with someone who can guide you through this school year…now let's see whis the right person….hmmmmm."
Scarlett nodded and said: "that would be good".
all of the boy's started to raised there hands saying " pick me", " no pick me" "my oh my, everyone really wants to offer there services hehehe".
Crimmson started walking to where all of the boy's are, her long soft hair move with the wind as her bright yellow eyes glased all of the students making them stare in awe, she suddenly stopped in front of Hiro's desk and pointed at him, he and the girls looked at her and blink twice, "….i want you…"
All of the classroom couldn't belive what just happened but she just kept pointing at Hiro looking at him directly in his eyes....
