Darnit. I had caught myself in the same trap I had used to catch him off guard. I was unable to see where he was coming from now, due to the smoke. However, I decided to use my instincts in this particular situation. Since I shot him upwards, it would make sense that he would try and make an attack from above. I was pretty sure that he could get a silhouette of my location from above, but how accurate his attack would be was beyond me. Taking a chance, I jumped back and dropped another bomb where I had previously been standing, before uppercutting it straight into the air, hoping to make impact.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No! Nothings wrong!" I yelled at Kaoru before turning to look away from the group at the window. It was barely noticable, but a single tear rolled down the side of my check. What the heck was wrong with me? I think the whole situation had me too stressed out.
 
I saw the attack coming, and my eyes widened. Well, that would really screw up my attack plan... Rather than waiting to try to make impact with him, I blasted my punch into the energy ball as it soared up to me, and rather than knocking me away, this time as it blew, I managed to be propelled downwards, into the floor of the roof, knocking the air out of me.

I got up slowly, grimacing. My coat was practically shredded now... "I hope Mr. Damane doesn't expect me to pay for a replacement.." I muttered, before looking up into the slowly thinning smoke. "You just may be good enough to pass, if you could keep me from strangling you for this long. Care to consider a proposition?" I asked. If he didn't, I'd just have to beat him until he couldn't fight, and then tell him. Or just knock him out and drag him back...

"Don't give me that..." I said, narrowing my eyes at her. CRYING? I was in the most embarrassing outfit of my life, and did anyone see my eyes leaking? No! Still, even if she was one of those awful types, I did feel a little concerned. "It's not like it's that hard to notice..." I lied, looking at her, trying to keep the undercurrent of anger out of my voice. "You may as well say it, so that I don't have to pry it out of you."
 
I smiled half-heartedly, and leaned over to see Ayu around Momoko, saying, "Don't cry," Trying fruitlessly to cheer her up, continuing, "Here, Peach'll make you feel better!" I gave the little dog one last hug before holding the metal being out for Ayu. Sure I wasn't 100% positive that Peach would make anybody feel better, but Peach sure me me feel better, why not Ayu? I couldn't understand why Ayu was crying, and that made me feel even worse then being around someone who was crying.

Because, in order to help somebody when they're crying, you needed to know why they were crying. That was what Grandmother always said when I wouldn't tell her why I was crying, but I knew from experience that it didn't make anybody feel better when they were interrogated to repeat the terrible thing that had made them start in the first place.

"Wan wan!" Peach barked curiously, "Why is Ayu crying wan?"

I sweatdropped, and thought to myself, 'So much for that idea.'
 
"No, you guys'll just laugh at me and call me crazy..." I said quietly, still looking away. I was especially trying to avoid looking at Peach, I knew looking at that thing would bring me certain doom in this situation.

"I won't laugh, I promise!" Momoko assured me, and Ken gave me a nod as well. Even Utonium said he'd listen to my story. I was pretty sure Miyako would believe me. However, Kaoru could be difficult...

"Okay, fine." I mumbled, looking at the ground. "Before I was hit by the white light... before all of this... I was actually... I was a guy, okay!?" In the end, I had decided to blurt it out after all. My face was strangely bright red in embarassment. Then again, who wouldn't be in this sort of situation?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Actually, no." I snickered in a very cocky manner. "I'm not interested in your employer, nor what he wants to use me for. I am not a tool, a rule my own life." And with that, I put the scythe over my shoulder, and began to walk away. "Come on then, Zach, we're finished with this loser!"
 
I was quiet during their little fight, watching from a safe distance. Like I said, I didn't want to get in the middle of them. Besides, albeit I'd rather not admit it, they seemed really strong. They had these weird powers, too, which is just creepy. I could only fathom how strong those little girls were to actually defeat Dash. I grimaced, now I'm absolutely positive there was something weird with this city. From random falling black lights, sword wielding loudmouthed girls, to extraordinary little girls and super powered weird dudes.

Their battle went on for minutes and, although it initially cured my boredom, I sighed in exasperation. It was taking far too long. Sheesh, why can't one of them admit defeat or something? I rolled my eyes and sighed once again. Besides, as far as I can tell, Dash seemed to have the upper hand (his frequent bombs made my vision vague, though) so why can't Mr. Weirdo just go already?

Well, thankfully the battle seemed to have stopped. I think Mr. Weirdo said something about a proposition-whatsit. Of course, Dash declined and told me we were off. Finally!

As I caught up to him, I raised a brow. "You know, it's obvious Mr. Weirdo won't let you go that easily." I said nonchalantly, although I was worried. Just slightly. I mean, he might go berserk and attack Dash, and I was just right beside him.
 
"I would be happy to accept that, if either of us had a choice in the matter." I said, quite calmly, and then began to run towards him. If I strangled him it'd be no good, so I had to be careful. I darted forward at a dash, wrapping my arm tightly around his neck, and yanking him against my chest. I tightened my grip, trying to cut off the air supply. It'd be much easier to haul him there unconscious...

I looked up at the other boy... What had he called him, Zach? "Kid..." I said quietly, tightening my grip in the neck "If you've got any... Special talents recently, you could come along too. Hopefully I won't have to resort to this, though." I said, looking down at the form in my grip...
 
I accidentally dropped Peach in my shock, and was jolted back to earth with Peach clatter, "Oh!" I cried, picking Peach back up and hugging him tightly, "I'm so sorry Mr. Peach! I didn't mean to!!" I looked back up at Ayu and blinked. Yes. Definetely female. So what had turned him...her...into a girl? My mind was reeling with confusion, using female pronouns for a male wasn't right, and yet, using male pronouns for someone who was presently female wasn't right either!! And 'it' was just rude!

"So that's why we couldn't recognize you!" I said cheerfully, trying to lift the stuffy embarrassment in the car, "Who are you really then?" I asked, bobbing myself side to side as I tried not to concentrate too much of my attention on an already red-as-a-tomato Ayu. Male to female....that had to be the experience of a lifetime!

"Oi!" A burly scratchy voice came, "Don't 'tchu know ain't no weapons 'llowed on school propirty?" I felt my gaze lay scornfully on the janitor, who was waving a wet mop at me, sending bits of water mixed with who knows what everywhere. They all missed me, oddly enough, but I didn't pay any attention to him. I was laying spread eagle on my back, facing the blue sky and trying to think of things other then how I would get back to normal, and/or get home in general.

"Ooooi." Marcus continued, picking up a different cleaning utensil and poking me with the stick end of a broom, "What're yeau doin' up here 'neways? Ain't you know school's over? Go 'in play somewhere else y'know?" I continued to ignore him until he rolled his eyes and shoved the bristly side of the broom in my face, snapping, "Jumpin' Jesus Christmas Biscuit Slur git up an' go alreahdy."

"I don't want to. Go clean somewhere else." I snapped back.

"Ooohoho, think your big meat fer havin' two big soowards now dew yeau?" Marcus rolled his eyes, "I'm gonna dew mah JOB now, seo if ah bother yeau, then it your fault in the first place." Whipping the gross mop over his shoulder he began to clean the rooftop, like he did everyday because he knew I was always up here. The sounds of him singing off-key and talking to himself in his 'weird accent' was reason enough to get down and move to the park instead. He waved me a good-bye and I did the same. Even though we weren't exactly the nicest to each other, we were friends. As much as student and gross janitor could be friends anyway.
 
I paused, looking at Ayu for a moment. "Hmmmm... She's embarrassed, she can't be a guy though, that's impossible." "Then why is she so upset?" "Hell if I know! I'm more concerned with getting out of this skirt..." "I won't laugh." I said, pausing. "But you are crazy. And we have more important things than your games," I said, and suddenly sprung up, looming over her. "LIKE THE FACT THAT I LOOK LIKE A GIRL IN THIS!" I shouted, pointing at the skirt...
 
I thought something seemed strange about her... but could what she claimed be true? "I know! This really is some plot by aliens! Maybe they abducted her- him, and made him a she!" I exclaimed. It wasn't me just joking around, either. I was serious! Yet, I wasn't entirely sure if I believed her story yet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"My name is Kawashimu Askan, and I've lived in Megaville Central Orphanage my whole life. All fifteen years of it." I figured it was time to spill the beans, although I may regret it later. "And no, Kaoru, this is nothing short of the truth. Shut up about being in a skirt and looking like a girl, because at least you were a girl to begin with!" I had finally lost it.

"Uhh... we'll try and sort this out when we get to the lab!" Ken said, trying to calm the group down. It was obvious he didn't exactly believe my claim either. Miyako was so shocked that she had dropped Peach, but I doubted that she didn't believe me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Let... me... go..." I barely breathed out as I used my free right hand to swing the scythe back at his arm. I didn't want Zach getting involved with this wierdo as much as I wanted didn't. I was losing my breaths quickly, though.
 
I shook my head slowly as he struggled in my grip, putting a lot more effort into keeping my grip steady. I couldn't tighten it without killing him.. "He has a choice in this." I said simply, not coldly, but just stating the facts. "And you don't. You chose to fight, so I'll haul you there one way or the other, even if I have to drag you."


"WHAT WAS THAT?!" I practically yelled at her insulting me. How DARE she call me a girl? It didn't matter if it was true or not... My scream had drowned out the screech of the brakes as we pulled up to Utonium's lab, but I didn't care. I reached out with one hand, yanking up Ayu by her hair, and stalking over to the back door. One kick broke the latch, sending it flying open, shortly followed by her flying out from a good hair-toss. Shortly followed by me jumping after her, swinging the hammer madly in her direction.
 
"Ahh!" I screamed as Kaoru grabbed me by my pigtails and threw my out the door. I landed on my face (it seemed I had an affinity for it now), and struggled to get up, checking that my hair was still there. Of course, it was... sadly. It wasn't long before Kaoru ran at me with her hammer, and I just covered my head in fear. Had I just angered a demon?

OOC: Sorry it's short, gotta go to work. >>;
 
"Kaoru!" I called, getting out as fast as I could and putting Peach down, "Wait!" I slowly waved my bubble wand to my right, creating one large bubble that split into two medium sized bubbles, both of which trapped Ayu and Kaoru inside, and I scolded, putting my hands on my hips, "I won't let you out until you say sorry to each other! And I mean it!" I added for the record, "It's not nice to hit people and it's not nice to say shut up to people too. The faster you apologize," I said to both of them, "the faster we can get back to normal, and in Ayu's case, back to the right gender."

"Wan wan!" Peach agreed, jumping up and down at my feet.

OOC: *shot for shortness and cheesiness of post*
 
No! I had been so close, and now that Miyako had thrown those bubbles, and I was stuck. But Ayu was So close! I didn't bother with words, simply letting out a wordless yell as I continued to swing the hammer in Ayu's direction, hoping to break the bubble. But all I managed to do was gently scratch the surface. I really wasn't all *that* angry with Ayu, just at the whole situation in general, and I seriously needed to vent...

OOC: Setting up concrete work today. X_x;
 
Seeing no other way to get myself out of this bubble, I began to suck up my pride. "I'm sorry, Kaoru. I'm just really stressed out over this situation, and I don't really know how to react to everything right now. One thing at this point was certain, being around Momoko and Miyako too much could seriously affect my state of mind.
 
I continued swinging for quite some time, but finally, my arms began to get heavy, and I sighed, stopping. "I'm sorry as well." I said dejectedly, trying to use my hammer to prop myself right-side-up in the bubble. "Believe me; I know how you feel about the stress." I said slowly, still not sure if I believed that joke about her being a guy...

OOC: Sleeepy. @_@
 
I smiled and giggled, "Yay!" I walked over to Ayu's bubble first, because Kaoru was definetely the more hostile of the two. When I was about to pop it, I realized something important. Blinking I stared at my bubble wand.

"How do I get you guys out?" I asked, confused.

Peach sweatdropped and said, "Use the end!" I look at the sharp end of my bubble wand, and used it to poke at Ayu's bubble. POP. Walking over to Kaoru's bubble, I did the same. POP. I took another long look at my bubble wand, feeling like I had finally started to understand how to use this.

OOC: You guuuuuys! Get some more stuff in your posts, they're really short. < < David, you could let us into the lab now. *nods* Feel kinda dweebish, sittin' back and watchin' you post like that. Don't make me warn this thread!! *shot* (Wow this sucks. Roleplaying with an AA. xDDD Can't do anything of great significance.)
 
OOC: It's not my fault, I'm trying to get posts in before bed and work without the server dying on me. I'm limited timewise during the weekendsdue to work. Not to mention my writer's block. >>;

IC: "Neh!" I exclaimed as I bent over and stuck my tongue out at Kaoru when she wasn't paying attantion to me. I was finally out of the freaking bubble! Hurrah!

"Girls? Could you come inside!?" I suddenly heard Ken calling. I basically ran as fast as I could to the large dome-shaped building, in fear that Kaoru would notice my little gesture and come out of me. This was actually kind of... fun... other than the unfamiliar feeling on my bare legs, and on my head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I followed Ayu into the large dome-shaped building, after watching the little conflict. "Guuuuys..." I whined before stuffing some more chocolate in my mouth. "How are we supposed to be a team if we keep fighting? We're heroines of justice!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Crap..." I muttered with my last breath before blacking out. Zach hadn't been much help, nor had he run away, so I hoped nothing bad would happen to him in my unconcious state I just hoped I would make it out of this okay as well.
 
I smiled as he went limp, and gently hefted him over my shoulder. I gave another look at the kid who had been with him, and shrugged. "If you come with me, we may find a use for you. But you can stay, or do whatever you want. I won't hold it against you." I said, turning towards the stairway, and began to walk towards the entrance...


I was muttering to myself, growling slightly. I had seen the snotty Ayu stick her tongue out at me, but I didn't think Miyako had, or else I would have taken it up, but I didn't want to try until after I figured out a way out of those bubbles... At Momoko's comment though, my back stiffened. "WHAT?!" I said, but I kept walking. "You, are the heroine freak, I just want out of this skirt!" I yelled, pointing for emphasis as I stalked into the building...
 
A light breeze dances across my face before I followed them inside. There wasn't much to say until we were either back to normal, or something was explained to us. Peach stayed close at my heel, and once I stepped into the tall building, white adorned with huge windows that I swear were entire walls. The feel of air conditioning pricked goosebumps on my bare arms at first, but rubbing a hand over the bumpy skin, I shooed them away and looked around.

Ken sighed and waved his arms around, "Can't we wait until we finish changing everyone back to normal and explaining what's happened?!"

I blinked and tilted my head to the side, "Oh that's right, how are you going to change us back to our original forms?" I asked.

The Professor and Ken both sweatdropped, but Professor Utonium quickly recovering, clearing his throat and saying, "I have a theory, but we'll have to try it out before I'm sure it'll work. Now, if you'll step in here, we'll get everything cleared up."
 
"Clear things up, eh? I sure hope so..." I muttered to myself before following the Professor and Ken. I had noticed briefly a light of excitement in the Professor's eyes, which sent sudden chills down my spine, making me shudder lightly. I didn't trust the Professor entirely, yet. However, if he could find a way to make me male once more, I'd have no qualms about following along with his experiments. I shuddered again as I thought about what may happen to me if I was stuck like this. Technically, I was but a 13 year old girl. Meaning I would have to attend Junior High school again, while having to wear girls clothes and stuff like that! Distracted by my thoughts, I accidentally walked into Miyako as I trailed behind her. "A-ah! Sorry! Sorry!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Even if I AM a heroine freak, facts don't lie!" I rebuttled to Kaoru's comment. Why couldn't she just accept that we all had these powers for a reason, and that reason was to defend justice? "We're all dressed in the same outfits, we all have powers, we MUST be heroines that will defend Megaville in the world. I continued my preaching all the way into the next room where everyone was gathered. I was determined to get Kaoru on our team!
