The girls sat in the cell, waiting for Mae's return. "I can't wait to see Daddy!" Kumo shouted, as she jumped up.
"Well, you're gonna have to." Niku said, as she questioned to herself how Kumo has so much energy.
"I know!" Kumo shouted, as she puffed her cheeks at Niku. "It's just a figure of speech..." Kumo continued, feeling slightly bothered by Niku's comment.
"What made you call him 'Daddy' anyway?" Niku asked, changing the subject. "I don't, like, dislike it or anything, but you called it a nickname." Niku continued, making sure to explain before Kumo gets even more upset with her.
"I dunno..." Kumo said, as she took a moment to think back to when she first met pepper. "I don't remember a whole lot, but I felt really really cold and sad, and then I saw him..." Kumo continued, as she began to explain.
"And?" Niku asked, feeling impatient.
"And... he took away that cold, sad feeling..." Kumo said, smiling as she thought back. "And in that moment, I knew that I wanted to call him Daddy!" Kumo finished, as she smiled at Niku.
"So...? Is it, like... a thing that turns you on...?" Niku asked, feeling hesitant to ask.
"Hmm..." Kumo mumbled, as she took a moment to think. "I mean, in the right circumstances, probably, but normally? No." Kumo said, as she answered Niku's question as best as she could.
"I see..." Niku said, as she began to think. "What about you, Utsu? Why do you call him Daddy?" Niku asked, as she turned to Utsu, who sat close to Niku.
"Um... I d-don't have parents... so having h-him as a-a parental figure..." Utsu stuttered, as she tried to explain. "M-Makes me feel... s-safe... I think..." Utsu finished, as she felt like she could have explained better.
"But would you still do... *stuff* with him?" Kumo asked, as she gave Utsu a strange grin.
"Fuhuhu!" Muma laughed, as she knew exactly what Kumo was referring to.
Utsu's face became red. "U-Um... i-if he w-wanted..." Utsu stuttered, as she felt surprised by the question.
"Wait, Utsu." Muma said, as she moved closer to Utsu. "Can you do *stuff*?" Muma asked, feeling curious about Utsu's body.
"Yes, she can!" Niku shouted, getting annoyed at Kumo and Muma. "Now leave her alone, she's clearly embarrassed!" Niku shouted, as she pulled Utsu closer to her and held her.
"I apologize, Niku, I was only curious." Muma said, as she backed away. "I never noticed how protective of Utsu you are. Fuhuhu..." Muma said, as she looked at the two.
"Well, she can't, like, protect herself." Niku said, as she looked at Utsu who had closed her eyes. "I think she's tired." Niku said, hoping everyone would be quiet for Utsu.
The bars opened up, and Mae limped into the cell. "Shh..." Kumo shushed at Mae before Mae had begun to say anything. "We can talk later..." Kumo quietly continued, as she pointed at Utsu who looked peaceful as she slept.
Mae sat next to Kumo on the opposite side of the room from Niku and Utsu. "I think this is the first time I've noticed her smile." Mae quietly said, as she watched Utsu.
"I've seen it before, but it's rare." Kumo quietly said, as she closed her eyes while she leaned against the cold bricks. "Now let's let everyone sleep, they've got a big day tomorrow..." Kumo quietly continued, feeling a bit anxious for the five that are meant to fight. Mae nodded and closed her eyes as well, though she had no intention of falling asleep, so she just thought for a long time as she sat there, and those thoughts were about what caused pepper to lose his memory. Mae wasn't sure why she thought of this, but that thought reminded her of how things were before the accident.
"Welcome, everyone!" The announcer shouted, feeling ready to tell the audience about the big surprise. "Today, we have a special fight, and we think you'll love iiittt!!!" The announcer continued, feeling more excited than he should.
"Aaaahhh!" The audience shouted, feeling excited for what the Circus Tent will offer.
"This may seem a bit strange everyone, but I assure you that this will be incredible!" The announcer said, trying to add more hype and excitement. "I'll get straight to the point, everbody. So are you ready to hear today's surprise?!" The announcer continued, trying to contain his excitement just a little.
"I bet it'll be that an audience member gets to take home a slave, like they did last year!" A Goblin said, as he shoved a finger up his nose.
"What? Nyo way, that was lame." A girl with cat ears said, as she disagreed with the Goblin.
"Then what do you think?" The Goblin asked, as he flicked a booger into the crowd.
"I think they're gonnya take us on a tour of this solar system!" The girl with cat ears said, as she smiled while thinking about it.
"This solar system is garbage! They haven't even developed light-speed travel here!" The Goblin said, with a disgusted face.
"This surprise... is that we're holding a five verses five! Not just a one-on-one!" The announcer shouted, hoping the crowd is as excited as he is.
"Layme!" The same cat girl said, as she stuck out her tongue.
"Heck yeah! That means more blood!" The Goblin said, as he felt an urge to see more blood than usual.
The girls all sat in wait, knowing the inevitable is closer than they'd like. "Looks like it's time..." Niku said, as she saw a soldier walking closer.
"Hey there, girls." The familiar sounding soldier said, as he unmuted their cell. "You remember me, don't you?" He continued, as he looked at each one of the girls, ending on Utsu. Niku, still holding Utsu, felt a sort of heartbeat become stronger and faster from Utsu, though her expression didn't change to any sort of fear.
'I didn't know Utsu had a heart...' Niku thought, as she felt curious about how Utsu works. "No, we couldn't even care to remember you." Niku said, with clear disgust in her voice.
"Too bad we don't have time to explain, so the last five that haven't fought, come on." The soldier said, as he opened the bars for the five to walk through. Niku and Utsu stood up, following them was Kujo, then Peki, and lastly, was Kutsuyo. Niku took Utsu's hand as they all began to follow the soldier.
"I love you guys! You'll do great, I know it!" Kumo shouted, right before the bars closed and their cell was muted once again. Niku smiled slightly as she walked away, though none of them said anything back to Kumo.
"Love... Haha, what a joke." The soldier mumbled, as he chuckled to himself.
Niku's eyes burned the back of his neck as they walked, but she quickly grew calm as she thought to herself. 'I can't really be mad at him for that, I thought the same thing myself, once.' Niku thought, before she felt Utsu's hand tighen around her own. "You're gonna be okay, Utsu, Daddy will come eventually, until then I'll protect you." Niku whispered, as she tried to comfort Utsu.
"This is stupid." Kujo said, as she walked beside Peki and Kutsuyo, behind Niku and Utsu.
"What is stupid to you about our situation?" Peki asked, though she didn't exactly care.
"The fact that they think they can put a strong enough opponent to beat me!" Kujo said, with a grin of determination.
The soldier opened a door and the girls walked into a room full of weapons, then he uncuffed each one. "Alright, choose whatever shit you'll need to fight with." The soldier said, as he was about to leave.
"Didn't you, like, say before that we'd have to fight with are fists and teeth if we have no powers?" Niku asked, feeling confused.
"I was messing with you, clearly." The soldier said, as the door slammed shut.
"N-Niku, here." Utsu said, as she handed Niku her rod.
Niku gasped. "Thank you, Utsu!" Niku said, as she tightly hugged Utsu. Peki watched them hug, she felt like smiling, but refused to.
A voice echoed from speakers in the room. "Now! The momemt you've all been waiting for! The last five of the blue haird group!" The announcer's voice shouted, coming from the speakers to signal their entrance.
"That's likely for us." Peki said, as she began to walk down to the tunnel. The others quietly followed.
"And there they are!" The announcer shouted, as he saw then appear soon after the call.
"Aaaahhhhh!" The crowd shouted, as they saw the five.
"That black haird one looks mean!" A Human male said, looking at a Lizard-man.
"I thought they all had blue hair?" The Lizard-man said, as he began to think. "Even the red head had a little blue in her hair, but the black haird one has none, what gives?" The Lizard-man asked, knowing his friend can't answer.
"The one with pure black hair and gray skin is Niku, a Demon! The one holding Niku's hand is Utsu, a living Doll! To their right with the multi-colored hair is Peki, an Android! The one wearing black is Kutsuyo, a Human! And lastly, the one in the red tanktop and also with gray skin is Kujo, another Demon!" The announcer said, informing the audience on the fighters.
"Ugh, I can't believe so many people like this shit." Niku complained, as she looked out at the crowd.
"Moving on to their opponents!" The announcer shouted, trying to get to the fight as fast as he can. Within seconds, the five opponents could be seen walking out from the opposite tunnel. "The young-looking girl with the pale skin is Corcodile, a Ghost!" The announcer said, informing the audience of the opponents now. Crocodile was pale, it reminded the girls of Mae and Polly, but to Utsu, she thought of someone else. Crocodile's hair was black, aside from a few strands on both the left and right side of her head, the right being purple and left being red. Her hair was also short, but longer than Mae or Niku's. Crocodile's eyes were similar to her hair, the right eye being purple while the left was red. She had some sort of star tattooed to her face on her left cheek, and her clothes looked like gothic lolita fashion. Crocodile carried something with her, it looked like a plush toy of a stereotypical ghost, the kind of ghost a Human would imagine.
"That girl... Sh-She's from my world..." Utsu said, as she looked at her.
"She reminds of Polly or Mae..." Niku said, feeling slightly confused.
"She's th-the same as a girl n-named Kumetsu... Ghosts a-are common on Halloween." Utsu said, explaining Ghosts to the others.
"And the one with the witches hat is Scaley, a Siren!" The announcer said, as he went from left to right. Scaley's face looked as if she was angry, but also didn't really care about anything. Her face screamed that she was confused. She had silver hair, and wore a witches hat along with a cherry hair clip. Her ears were pointed similar to an Elf's but differently than theirs. She wore earings in both ears which were cherry earings. Her eyes were green, and her clothes looked like something a stereotypical vampire or witch would wear, it was a type of coat with a large collar that extended outward, it was purple and revealed her neck and collarbone. On her neck, was a white choker that had charries hanging from it. Scaley held a book close to her as she walked alongside the other four.
"What's a Siren?" Kujo asked, as she thought about a type of alarm.
"Siren. A species originating from the planet, Malar." Peki said, beginning to answer Kujo's question. "The species used to be feared, but is now growing scarce in numbers." Peki continued.
"So... they aren't strong?" Kujo asked, feeling confused.
"They can be." Peki said, as she observed the rest of the opponents.
"Next, with the purple hair, is Vile, this freak of nature is half Unicorn and half Human!" The announcer said, continuing through the opponents.
"Actually, she's about fifteen percent Unicorn, the rest being Human." Peki said, correcting the announcer to herself. Vile had purple hair with red roses on a dark gray vine scattered through her hair. A Unicorn horn was on her forehead, it was black and looked sharp. Her eyes were bright blue, and she had scabs in the shape of scratch marks covering her face, even her eyelids. Her lips looked chewd on, they were also covered in scabs. She wore a plaid-purple button up shirt over a white and black body suit.
"Is that from her last fight? Must have been rough." Kutsuyo said, being difficult to hear over the crowd's noise.
"No, those are wounds she inflicted on herself." Peki said, with confidence in her voice.
"Like, how can you tell?" Niku asked, as she squinted at Vile.
"Her fingernails, they're sharp and have dried blood on them." Peki explained, feeling concerned for Vile's mental stability.
"After Vile, we have our favorite jester, Smile! He's Human but his mouth is stiched shut, so some people confuse him with a Myufle." The announcer said, giving a slight explanation that only raises more questions. Smile's facs a was covered in face paint to look like a skull, his mouth was stiched shut, and his eyes glared red. He had a light gray and white jester hat over his gray hair, and wore a red and black jester suit that seemed worn out.
"He's creepy..." Niku said, finding Smile difficult to look at.
"And, finally, the leader of these freaks... Her real name is unknown, but she calls herself Crazy!" The announcer shouted, feeling so ready to see this fight. Crazy's hair was red, aside from a few strands on her left side that were white. Her face was pale from face paint, and her eyes were bright green. She wore a grin that made the girls' feel tense, a grin that brought all of them a creepy feeling of uncomfortableness. She had a purple bow tie attached to her black dress-like clothes. Her cleavage could be seen, and she'd even used face paint there to make everything pale.
"She, like, even painted her boobs?" Niku asked, thinking out loud.
"She has her entire body painted white, I'd assume." Peki said, as she observed Crazy thoroughly.
"Why do you think that?" Kujo asked, trying to figure it out.
"These people are clearly insane, I think they take their roles very seriously." Peki explained, as this seemed obvious to her.
"Whatever, I don't really care about what's wrong with them." Niku said, as she couldn't help but feel bad for whatever caused them to turn out this way.
"Now that all of the fighters have been explained to the audience, we can begin!" The announcer shouted, feeling impatient to see what'll happen.
"Just like that?!" Niku asked, feeling unprepared. Utsu moved closer to Niku, and held Niku's shirt tightly.
"Okay!" Kujo shouted, as she used her orange fire to launch herself toward the opponents. Scaley opened her book, and flipped three pages, then she looked up at Kujo in the air, suddenly Kujo had disappeared from where she was.
"What the-?!" Niku shouted, in confusion.
"I saw the whole thing, she just vanished immediately!" Peki said, feeling shocked that even her immaculate vision didn't see what happened.
"No." Kutsuyo said, as her voice sounded different. "That was magic." Kutsuyo said, as she looked up at everyone they then realized that Kutsuyo had switched with Kutsuyon.
"Magic?" Niku asked, failing to understand. Suddenly, a large group of dark gray rose vines shot out from the sand, and Kujo was wrapped in them.
"Ow! These freakin' thorns hurt!" Kujo shouted, as she squirmed around.
"It's her, Vile." Peki said, as she pointed out to the others. "She's controlling the rose vines." Peki continued, letting the others know who's controlling the ability.
"Get off of me!" Kujo shouted, as a red flame engulfed the vines, burning them all quickly.
"Now, now, why must we be so eager to attack?" Crazy asked, as she walked up to the girls.
"Uh, 'cause we wanna get the hell out of here?" Niku said, sounding like the answer was obvious.
"You don't find this exciting?" Crazy asked, looking a little confused.
"I would if any of you were at all a challenge!" Kujo shouted, looking ready to fight.
"We like to put on a show here, the audience quite enjoys us." Crazy said, as she looked at the audience.
"I genuinely, like, don't give a shit about the audience or this stupid Circus Tent." Niku said, sounding annoyed.
"Haha! Well, that's fine, cutie. I have everything planned out." Crazy said, as she turned around to walk away. "I was hoping you'd join our little act, but we'll just pull the strings like always." Crazy continued, before she walked back to her group.
"The hell was that?" Niku asked, feeling confused.
"Move over! Coming through!" A girl with bunny ears said in the audience seats, as she walked between people to get to her seat, as she carried a bunch of snacks with her. "Okay!" She said, as she sat down. Her hair was pink, and her bunny ears too, as well as her eyes. She had light blue, almost cotton candy-looking hair coming from both sides of her head, from above where Human ears would be. She also had two black bow ties in her hair above her left eye, which was parted similarly to how female peppers tend to part their hair. She wore a white jacket over a black shirt, and had on jean shorts with a soft, fuzzy end to the pant leg. "Time to enjoy this!" She said, as she stuffed food in her mouth. Suddenly, she widened her eyes. 'That girl... in the black sweater...' The bunny-girl thought as she watched Kutsuyon.
"That Vile girl..." Kujo quietly said, as she walked closer to the others.
"I'm not exactly sure what she can do, but that was definitely from her." Peki said, as she tried to think of the extent to Vile's ability.
"Hehe... Hahaha!" Vile shouted a laugh that seemed to echo. The girls all looked at her, and they saw her start scratching the scabs off of her face, causing her face to bleed. She pulled at her Unicorn horn and tears fell from her eyes. "I hate it..." Vile mumbled. "I hate it... I hate it. I have to choose one!" Vile screamed, as she pulled harder and harder on her horn, and her head started to bleed from the strength she used. Vile's eyes looked around at the audience for a moment, as she realized where she was, her eyes slowly landed on the girls. "Roses." Vile said, as she began to walk toward the girls. She lifted her hand and wrapped together gray rose vines with roses quickly blooming off of the vines, which shot out from beside her.
"Here it comes." Peki said, as she began to fly up in the air using her jet shoes. Vile sent a vine toward Peki, and Peki caught it before it hit her face. Peki took this moment to examine the vine, she could see that the vine was real, she saw its cells and the structure of it was perfect. But to Peki, the vine seemed sickly for how strong it was, as if the vine was ill somehow, yet very tough. 'How strong would this be if it wasn't sick?' Peki thought, before she threw the vine to the side.
"Hahaha!" Vile laughed, as she pushed both hands out in front of her running body, causing three more vines to be sent toward Peki. Peki dodged one, then Kujo burned the last two.
"Your lame ability can't do a thing against my Firework!" Kujo said, with a smug face, as she did a little flex.
"Kujo, where did you go?" Peki asked, as she watched the enemies.
"Huh? Did a circuit break? I'm right here!" Kujo said, feeling confused about what Peki was talking about.
"Nevermind." Peki said, as she decided to focus on the enemies.
"Alright...?" Kujo asked, not quite understanding what Peki was talking about.
'That one, Scaley, she opened her book again.' Niku thought, as she watched Scaley.
'Kutsuyon said that she uses magic...' Niku continued thinking, wondering what exactly Scaley can do.
"Niku..." Utsu mumbled, as she pulled on Niku's shirt.
'I can't let her use her magic again, I've got to deal with her!' Niku thought, as she began to walk away from Utsu. Niku pulled out her rod and pressed the button to extend it. A type of red symbol appeared in Scaley's hand as she held it toward Niku, and immediately after that, a ball of fire was sent toward Niku. Niku noticed and dodged quickly, then another came, and Niku dodged again, all while getting closer to Scaley.
Peki shot down Vile's vines, shooting one after the other. And Kujo burned what Peki couldn't shoot. "Crazy, what should I do? I can't hit these two." Vile said, as she looked back at Crazy.
Crazy began to walk up to Vile, and Crazy put her own head close to Vile's. "Don't you remember what you did right before I found you?" Crazy asked, hoping Vile would think back and remember.
A young girl with purple hair played with her dolls in her bedroom. 'I wonder if Mommy's made dinner yet?' The little girl thought, as she stood up and happily walked to her bedroom door. "Hey, Mommy?" The little girl called out, wondering where her mother is.
A woman's voice calls back. "Go back to your room, Vile." Vile's mother says, in a shakey voice. Vile peeked past the corner of the room she heard her mother in, and she saw her father standing in front of her mother.
"Stupid whore." Vile's father said, sounding drunk and angry. "You were digging in shit you shouldn't put your nose in, huh?!" Vile's father shouted, as he drooled from his mouth.
"No, I swear, I haven't looked in that room..." Vile's mother said, trying not to choke on her words.
"So you're sayin' I'm a liar?!" Vile's father shouted, as he punched Vile's mother.
Vile watched in fear as she couldn't do anything but tremble. Vile's mother had blonde hair, and a dark Unicorn horn like Vile, and Vile's mother had the ears of a Unicorn too, which were white and looked the same as a horse's ears. 'Please... stop hurting her...' Vile thought, as tears appeared in her eyes. Vile heard two clicks, though she didn't know what those clicks were, she hadn't heard them before, but she knew it came from the item her father had just picked up.
"People who don't listen are people who don't deserve to live!" Vile's father shouted, as he pointed a pump-action shot gun into her mouth. Vile's mother mumbled, but she couldn't even make any words, her eyes moved over to see her daughter watching.
Vile quickly turned around because she didn't want to see what her father would do, she looked up at the wall, and she saw the shadow of her mother's head have something come from the back of it. Everything fell silent to Vile, but this silence felt so loud. Before Vile knew it, people bursted into the house, these people all wore similar clothes with a shiny metal thing in the same spot. They all had a weapon that reminded her of the things her dad kept in the basement, the same thing he held to her mother's mouth. The people tried to talk to her, but she couldn't seem to hear them, though she didn't want to talk anyway.
"Little girl!" The police officer said, trying to get her attention.
"She probably saw that shit, man. Just get her out of here for now." Another officer said.
"Yeah, he was unconscious on the floor, the recoil really hit him, I guess." An officer from the room where Vile's mother was shot said.
"Did you see the closet out there?" Another officer asked, looking disgusted.
"No?" The previous officer replied.
"There were a lot of bodies stuffed in there..." The officer said, looking into the other officer's eyes.
"You can stay here for now... Vile, was it?" An officer asked, as he patted Vile's head.
"Where is this place?" Vile asked, feeling worried.
"It's a place for children like you, ones that don't have a family." The officer said, trying to be as nice as he can. "Come on, let's go inside." The officer continued.
"Vile!" An old man yelled from downstairs.
"Yes?" Vile asked, looking from the railing upstairs.
"This nice man would like to see you." The old man said, signaling for her to come down and talk.
After a short moment, Vile came face to face with the man. "Who is he?" Vile asked, as she looked at the man. This man had on a black leather jacket, and a white shirt. His hair was black and slicked back. His jeans looked old and torn but stylish.
"This man is your new father, Vile! Congratulations!" The old man said, with a few claps of his hands.
"...Father?" Vile asked, as she tilted her head at the man.
"How old are you, little girl?" The man asked, as he crouched down to Vile's height.
"I'm almost twelve... I've been here for around five years..." Vile said, as she felt something familiar about this man.
"Just sign here, Mr. Jett." The old man said, as handed the man a paper and pen.
Vile looked out from a backseat car window, and she saw a very nice house, it had four floors and a beautiful well in the front. Vile wasn't sure what to think of the place.
"Well, do you like your new home, Vile?" The man asked, as he looked back at Vile from the driver's seat.
"Mr. Jett-" Vile began to say, as the man cut her off.
"I should mention, I'd prefer you to call me Sir, but for future reference, my name is Jorgie." Jorgie said, as he took off his seat belt.
"Then... Sir." Vile said, pausing to confirm she got it right. "I'm not sure..." Vile said, feeling nervous.
"That's alright, you'll love it, I promise! Just give it some time." Jorgie said, as he got out of the car and helped Vile get out.
Vile opened the door to a run-down, old house that seemed dirty. 'I've been in school for about two years now... they were surprised that I was able to keep up with the other students, I actually do better...' Vile thought, as the door closed behind her. "I'm home!" Vile shouted, letting Jorgie know that she's home from school. 'I'm sixteen, and as soon as I'm able too... I'm leaving this awful house.' Vile thought, as she took off her shoes and neatly put them next to the other pair of shoes. Vile then began to walk down the hallway, there was a room on her right which was the kitchen, and a bit further to her left was the living room, neither of those rooms had a door to them, just an opening. Past the living room and on the right, was a closet door, and past that on the same wall, was Vile's bedroom. Then at the end of the hall, and in front of Vile, was the bathroom door. To the left again, but at the end of the hall, was a little bit more of the hall, with a bedroom door at the end. As Vile walled past the kitchen, she knew the inevitable was coming, and she wasn't prepared. 'This house was actually the same one my mother was shot in... I still remember it, actually...' Vile thought, as she tightly held her bag to her chest as she began to walk past the living room.
"Hey, how'd that test go?" Jorgie asked, without looking toward Vile, he kept his eyes fixed on the T.V. exactly where Vile's mother was killed.
"We haven't gotten them back yet." Vile replied, as she walked by.
"That's bull shit." Jorgie said, as he stood up and began walking out of the living room, following Vile. Vile began to run to her room, trying to avoid the conflict. "Hey!" Jorgie yelled, as he sprinted to catch up to Vile. Jorgie grabbed Vile's wrist and pinned her against the wall.
"Ow!" Vile shouted, as his grip was tight and intense.
"Show me the damned test!" Jorgie shouted in Vile's face.
'His breathe smells like alcohol... he's drunk again...' Vile thought, feeling more uncomfortable. "We'll get it tomorrow..." Vile said, softly.
"Then I better see it tomorrow." Jorgie said, as he let go of Vile's wrist and walked back to the living room.
A school bell rings as Vile sat down. Vile never payed much attention to the other students, she never cared about making friends or anything eitger, she only wanted to get through school so that she'd be able to get away from her adopted father. Even though Vile never payed attention to the other students, they payed close attention to her.
"Viiiile..." A girl whispered from behind Vile. Vile turned around to see what the girl wanted. Vile had no intention of making friends but she didn't intend to be rude either, she didn't mind if anyone disliked her, but she tried to avoid it, if she could.
"What?" Vile asked, with a voice that seemed tired and annoyed.
"What's the attitude for?" The girl asked, as she moved her black hair away from her brown, left eye. "Oh! You're on your period, aren't you?" The girl said, with a smug face.
"What...?" Vile asked, as she immediately felt lost in the conversation.
"Oh? Does your kind not have periods?" The girl asked, feeling confused.
"What does it matter?" Vile asked, trying to avoid the question because she felt embarrassed by the topic.
"It doesn't matter at all, I guess." The girl said, with a shrug that didn't last very long.
The teacher walked into the classroom. "Alright, today is an important day." The teacher said, as he sat at his computer chair.
"Why?" One of the students around the front row asked.
"Because, we'll be talking about Falfnira." The teacher replied, as he began to start up his computer.
'I already know this legend...' Vile thought, as she began to stare at the ceiling, trying to day dream to pass the time.
Vile's school day was close to over, she'd done nothing but day dream the entire class again, if Jorgie knew this he'd likely kill her, at least that's what Vile would tend to think. Vile began to come back to reality when she felt eyes staring at her back, so she waited for a moment, expecting the girl behind her to talk to her, but after a couple minutes of waiting, she never tried anything. "What do you want, Megan?" Vile asked, as she turned around to see Megan staring at Vile.
"So, does the horn ever get in the way?" Megan asked, as she poked Vile's horn.
"Ugh..." Vile said, as she sighed. "Yes, it does." Vile said, hoping that answering Megan's question would shut Megan up.
"Then, you should cut it off." Megan said, as she looked at her fingernails.
"...Huh?" Vile asked, as she hoped that she had misheard Megan. Vile's heartbeat increased as she thought about what Megan meant or why she would say that.
"I said, 'You should cut it off.'." Megan said, repeating herself.
"I mean... I don't really wanna-" Vile said, getting cut off by Megan.
"Here, maybe if I pull hard enough it'll come out." Megan said, as she grabbed Vile's horn and began to pull.
"Ow! Stop!" Vile shouted, as she accidentally alerted the rest of the classroom.
"I'm just trying to help you!" Megan shouted, back at Vile.
"Hey, what are you two doing?" The teacher asked, as he looked over from the opposite end of the classroom.
"Stop! That hurts!" Vile shouted, as she tried to pull Megan's hands off of her horns.
"It's starting to bleed, that must mean it's getting lose!" Megan said, as she tried to pull harder.
"Megan, let go of Vile's horn!" The teacher shouted, as he stood up and began to rush to help Vile.
"Such a pretty face shouldn't be cursed by such an ugly horn! I'm only helping!" Megan shouted, as she tried even harder to pull Vile's horn out.
'It hurts so much... What can I do to get her to stop...?' Vile thought, as she soon had an idea, but before she thought about it, she acted on the idea. Vile stopped trying to pull away from Megan and instead jumped toward her. Megan's eyes grew wide with surprise, as she was met with Vile's horn going into her left eye and then quickly piercing through her brain, killing her. The teacher got there at the moment of impact, and for just a short moment, the universe felt silent, Vile had realized what she'd done, she felt worried about what Jorgie would do if he found out. And after that moment of silence, screams of the other students rang out, and as they pushed and shoved each other, they all ran out. The teacher looked at Vile, feeling unsure of what to do, and then Vile began to laugh quietly.
"Vile...?" The teacher asked, feeling confused about what exactly is going on. Vile pushed Megan's body away, and Megan's blood dripped down Vile's horn and face. The teacher backed up, as he felt her blood lust.
"I can't risk you telling him..." Vile quietly said, as she stood up from her chair, and tackled the teacher.
"I-I won't! Please!" The teacher shouted, before Vile used her horn to kill him too.
'He had time to run... why didn't he? Was he scared?' Vile thought, as she began to look down at his legs, which she noticed had been wrapped in a green rose vine. "Pretty..." Vile said, as she looked at the roses. "My face... is pretty...?" Vile asked herself, as she looked at Megan's body. "But... my horn is ugly...?" Vile said, as she took a moment to think. 'If my face is pretty and my horn is ugly, then that doesn't mix... it's gotta be one or the other...' Vile thought, as she looked her fingers. Vile began to laugh as she took her fingernails and scrapped them down her face, cutting the skin off, making her face bleed. She'd continue scratching and scratching over and over, even the same spot. Vile suddenly stopped as she felt a calming presence behind her.
"Calm down, dear..." A woman's voice said. Vile turned around to see a girl dressed as a clown, or maybe it was her red hair and face paint made her look like one. "Vile, right?" The clown asked.
Vile stood up, and walked closer to the clown. "Y-Yes." Vile said with a shakey voice, which sounded like she was in pain.
"Poor girl..." The clown said, as she sat in the window of the classroom. "They think you're weird, don't they?" The clown asked, talking about Megan and the other students.
"They do..." Vile said, as she gripped her shirt.
"Do you know what that means?" The clown asked, tilting her head at Vile.
"What does it mean?" Vile asked, as she stepped even closer to the clown.
"It means that you and I are the same, we're both freaks." The clown said, as she leaned closer to Vile's face. "We should stick together." The clown said, as she leaned back and extended her hand out to Vile, expecting Vile to take it.
"Don't you think that... I'm weird too?" Vile asked, wondering why anyone would want someone as weird as her.
"I don't think you're weird." The clown said. "I think you're a freak, just like me." The clown continued.
"A freak..." Vile mumbled, repeating what the clown had said.
"So?" The clown asked. "Will you join me in my little freak show?" The clown continued, waiting for Vile's answer. Vile didn't say anything, and took the clown's hand.
"Kujo!" Kutsuyon shouted, as Kujo didn't seem to be paying much attention.
Kujo snapped back into reality and dodged the gaint clump of rose vines. "Burn!" Kujo shouted, as she caught the vines on fire. The vines tried to shake the fire off, but it was beginning to spread too much but they disappeared.
"You burned them." Kutsuyon said, as she expected more to appear.
"I didn't. My Firework didn't finish burning the vines, they just vanished." Kujo said, looking around for more vines.
"Hey." Peki said, getting Kujo and Kutsuyon's attention. "Vile is gone." Peki continued, warning them to watch out.
"So? All she does is use dumb vines." Kujo said, as she began to let her guard down, feeling like she's got this in the bag.
"Do not let your guard down." Peki said, as she turned to Kujo to watch her back until her guard comes back. "We do not know the extent of her ability nor the others." Peki said, as she got through to Kujo, causing Kujo to raise her guard again and take it seriously.
"Robot!" Kutsuyon shouted, as Peki turned back around to see Vile in front of her face. 'I'm in the air, I didn't think she could get up her.' Peki thought, as Vile's horn was stuck through Peki's foot as Vile fell back down. Pieces of metal parts fell along with Vile, all landing in a bed of roses.
"Shit!" Kutsuyon shouted, as she directed her attention to Vile. Vile stood up, and watched Peki crash into the sand. "Hey!" Kutsuyon shouted at Vile, as she jumped at her. Vile noticed huge claws coming from Kutsuyon's hands. Vile jumped back, dodging Kutsuyon's attack, but Kutsuyon jumped toward Vile, trying to predict where Vile would go and swinging where she predicted, but Vile was too fast, using her vines to launch her quickly.
"Peki!" Kujo said, as she felt worried about Peki.
"I'm fine." Peki said, as Kujo noticed Peki's exposed foot. "I turned my foot to slime as she stabbed me, she only destroyed my shoe." Peki continued, trying to get Kujo to stop worrying about her and instead worry about herself.
"You can do that...?" Kujo asked, feeling confused. "Robots sure are interesting." Kujo thought, wondering how Peki worked.
"Well, that's my ability. I call it Crazy Robot Body, but it's like your Firework, it isn't something I'm supposed to be able to do." Peki said, trying to explain her own ability to Kujo.
"I don't get it..." Kujo said, as she scratched her head.
"Nevermind, then." Peki said, as she stood up from the sand.
"Kutsuyo nee-" Kujo said, as she cut herself off. "I mean... Kutsuyon needs help." Kujo said, finding the whole Kutsuyo and Kutsuyon thing confusing as well.
"And for the record... I'm an Android, not a Robot." Peki said, as she used her other foot to propel herself toward Kutsuyon and Vile.
"There's a difference?" Kujo asked, as she ran behind Peki.
"Ugh!" Niku shouted, as she kept dodging Scaley's fire balls.
"Just give up." Scaley said, as Niku got close enough to hear her talk without being loud.
"Shut up!" Niku said, as she threw her rod at Scaley's book, knocking it out of her hand.
Scaley looked surprised, and rushed to grab her book, but Niku grabbed it first.
"Give it back." Scaley said, as she looked at Niku.
"Can't use magic now, huh?" Niku said, as she felt like she'd won.
Scaley's arm extended toward Niku. "Yeah, so no reason to run." Scaley said, as the red circle appeared in her hand again.
'She doesn't need the book for magic?!' Niku thought, as she quickly grabbed Scaley's arm and twisted it so hard that Scaley's body was flipped into the sand. Niku quickly picked up her rod and pointed it at Scaley's throat.
Scaley looked up at Niku, she showed no fear or sadness, if anything she only felt relief. Niku noticed someone walking towards Utsu, it was Crocodile. "Utsu!" Niku shouted, as she threw down the book and rushed to help Utsu. 'Like, how could I be so fricken' stupid?!' Niku thought, yelling at herself.
"Paranoia." Corcodile said, as she turned around towards Niku. Before Niku realized it, everything was pitch black, and the crowd seemed to go quiet. Niku couldn't even feel the ground. Niku tried to call for Utsu, but she felt like she wasn't able to talk. 'I can't speak... What the hell...?' Niku thought, as she felt terrified.
