>He looked over the group that he had saved, and, at the moment, looked >ready to kill him. >*Great* Scimitar thought, *just peachy* >"Well, to start things off, hello," he said with a smile. >At the moment, the nameless guy looked suspicious, the guy with the >beads seemed to be looking him over, and as for the one he knew was >Ryouga-sensei, well, lets just say, pissed off doesn't quite describe >it. >"What exactly do you want?" the man without a name asked. >"Well, something to call you by would be nice," Scimitar grinned. >"Just who the hell are you?" Ryouga looked ready to kill at this >point. >"Fine," Scimitar replied, "my name, is Scimitar Tenshin." >"Scimitar?" the girls echoed. >"Nice name," the resident MiB said. "Most of this people just call me >Noname-san." >"I'm Akane Tendo." >"Ryouga Hibiki." >"Ryoko Kuonoji." >"Just call me Akisame." >Scimitar grinned. "Now, don't you all feel better? All that tension >lifted?" >At this point, Ryouga decided to attack. Too bad his opponent wasn't >there. >"What th-" he began, just before Scimitar hoisted grabbed him from >behind, and slammed him into the ground. >/If you're done showing off?/ Mewtwo said, this time, everyone could >hear him. >"Yeah, yeah, anyways. Did you see anything, unusual?" >"I think those genetic freaks who attacked the tent would be called >'unusual'" Noname-san held a blank expression when he said that. >"Well, then I guess you're all in danger." >"WHAT?!" they all yelled together. >"Hope you guys didn't have friends in Nerima, because Chronos most >likely will wipe them out." >Noname-san said something under his breath. >*Mewtwo, what is he thinking?* >/He seems to be thinking of your favorite okonomiyaki cook/ >*SHIT!* >"Time to go!" he grabbed Noname-san and Ryouga and started to fly back >to the city. >Trailing behind, was Mewtwo, carrying the others in a psychic bubble. >/I swear, that boy would be dead in the water if he didn't have me >around./ Mewtwo complained to his passengers. > > >Ukyou was having, what would be known as a bad day. >First, the tournament that her friends, her sister, and her Ran-chan, >were attending, exploded somehow. And now, two guys dressed like >those lousy CIA types in the movies, were asking a lot of questions. >"Well, basically, did you take in any strangers recently?" one asked. >The other flashed a picture. "Anyone who looks like this?" >She recognized the man in the photo as her newest tenant. "Yeah, I >know him." >The two men grinned at each other, then one grabbed her, by the neck, >and lifted her up. >"Well, it was nice knowing you," he said, then began to squeeze. >Ukyou began to loose consciousness, when, a throwing knife hit him in >the hand. He grabbed his hand, dropping her, and turned to the door. >There was their target, standing at the head of the group. >"Shall we?" he asked his partner. >The two began to get larger, their clothing ripping off. One looked >pretty much like a giant rat, while the other grew into something that >had HUGE shoulders for some reason. >"Heh, well I'll be." >The two monsters turned, to see another problem. >"Shit! That's the guy!" the rat started screaming. "That's the guy who >can handle Zeiga!" >"You're kidding," the other said in disbelief, "that little shit is >the superhuman they keep warning us about?" >"Lets see," Scimitar took a few glances at them, but wasn't facing >them. "A Striker, I'd understand, but, does this really require a >Vamore's help?" >The Zoanoids were shocked. The other people were wondering what the >hell he was talking about. >Suddenly, he unsheathed his scimitar, and jabbed it in the head of the >rat thing. >While it was screaming in agony during its death, he grabbed the other >thing, and crushed its head with his bare hands. >Everyone looked at him in shock. >"What?" he began, "They were going to kill her, you saw it. I just >dealt what I usually deal." > > >After trying to clean up the mess, only to discover that the corpses >decompose right after death, the others sat round to hear Scimitar >out. >"Do you want the long version, or short version?" >/Short! Everyone, just say short!/ >Everyone glanced at the suddenly hyperactive Pokémon. >"Traitor!" Scimitar yelled. "Anyway, I guess the short version will >do. I'm a Saiyan. You might have heard of my kind, this was this >thing, with Goku, and battles and, anyway. I fight the Chronos Corp. >because they planned to transform everyone, into a Zoanoid." >He noted the blank looks. >"Those things I just killed." >Recognition was on their faces now. >"Anyway, I heard that Chronos has formed a partnership with Umbrella, >and from I can tell, this, is a bad thing." >The others looked at him solemnly. >"So, who's for takeout?" >They all face-faulted. > > >"Just relax," Ryoko said, and then pointed to a point on Noname-san's >back. >Scimitar's finger began to glow, and he poked that point. >Noname flinched, and got up. >"How do I know it worked?" he asked Ukyou. >Before she could answer, Scimitar's fist was flying straight at him. >He blocked the punch, and was going to retaliate, when he noticed >something. >He blocked. >He actually could block the punch! >"I'm, I'm cured!" he yelled. >"And yet again, no thanks to me," Scimitar pouted. >Noname-san glared at him. "You're really starting to get on my nerves, >'friend'." >"Am I the only one wondering about that other guy?" Akisame asked. >"The other sword-swinger looking for him?" he pointed toward >Noname-san. >/He's not one of them./ Mewtwo said. >"How do we know that?" Akane asked. >/I saw him fighting the Zoanoids, and, I know that he is not evil./ >Scimitar looked at his friend. "So why is he after Nameless?" >/I don't know about that./ >*Hmmm* Scimitar began to think. "Listen, since I kinda got you all in >this, is it ok if I stay with one of you?" >The others began to give a questioning look. >"I'm broke. Ok? I have no where to stay," Scimitar said after a >minute of the staring. >"You can stay at my house," Akane said. >"Thanks, Akane." > > >Elsewhere: >"You never told us about this threat, Alkanphel!" >"I believed that Zeiga would handle it, and, you never mentioned your >little problem, did you?" >"It doesn't matter, if what your lackey said is true, and they're >together, it could bode a problem, or-" >"Yes, or a solution" >The two men began to laugh. And all those who could hear them, felt a >chill.
