Chapter 3 Unexpected Star

(The pictures are NOT mines and the first picture is a pic of what fire magic circle could look like. i'm also experimenting with POV. Any feedback?)

  Right in the doorway stood a silhouette of a man in a lab coat. Meanwhile in the shadows, Lucky stood there,watching them. "Oh no. I got a bad feeling about this....I better go get help." she mutters before dashing off. 

Serenity was the the first to get up while Aimii scoots back into a corner. "Who are you?"Serenity demanded with a  glowering eyes beaming at the man before them. "My name is Dr.-" before he could finish,Aimii stood up and shoots a look in an emotionless manner.   "Masuki Nakamoto." she finished standing in front of Serenity. "Aimii, you know this guy?" she asked;wide-eyed.  Aimii replies with a simple nod and looks back at her. "You need to get out of here, it's not safe." the girl warns. Serenity shakes her head and stands her ground. "I'm not leaving you here.If you're in trouble I'll help you." Serenity says sternly.  Aimii pushes Serenity away with a glazed countenance. "I mean it.Besides why would you help a stranger like me. One who hold no ties to you." she mutters while the doctor watches with a  unchanged look. 

Meanwhile Leon and Scarlet sat in their seats waiting for Ms. Z. However, the teacher on the other hand was filling out paperwork rather than teaching.  "Oi are you going to teach something or what?" Scarlet shouts with her arms crossed. "I do have to agree with Ms.Zorto on this issue. I came here in order to learn and not just sit around doing nothing." Leon complains."Well because of the events that unfolded yesterday,I'm stuck filling out all these forms. Otherwise I would be teaching you brats the basics." Ms.Z mumbles with annoyance. Right then Lucky rushes into the classroom and grabs Scarlet's hand. "Oi What's your problem!?" she shouts snatching her hand away glaring at Lucky's brooding eyes. "Aimii and Serenity are in trouble.No time to explain, just hurry." she shouts pulling both Leon and Scarlet's hands, dragging them out the classroom.  

While rushing down the streets, Lucky,Scarlet and Leon races towards Serenity and Aimii. "What's going on?" demanded Leon as they ran. "I..I actually don't know." Lucky admits scratching her head. Scarlet stops. "What?!So what was the point to you taking us out of class?" Leon stops as well asking. "Meh it's not like we were doing anything in there." Scarlet shrugs following Lucky. "Tch,I'm not going to waste my time with little games." he mutters walking away with his arms crossed. "So you could at least explain what's going on." Scarlet asked. Instead of replying,Lucky comes to a stop in front of a old building.  The sight causes them to stare in terror as Aimii pointed a large cannon like weapon, that was her arm, at Serenity. Aimii's clouded eyes narrowed at Serenity as the weapon charges up. Scarlet quickly jumps in front of Serenity. "Stay away from her!" she shouts.

 "Flaming fist!" Lucky chants while her fire magic circle forms in front of her fist.  With a punch, she blasted fire shaped fist at Aimii. Aimii leaps out the way, while in midair, she aims her cannon at Lucky, locking on to her target. "Music Blast." Aimii chants as a sound type magic circle forms in front of the cannon while her other arm holds the bottom of the cannon. "Fire." as soon as she commands, the cannon blasts a burst of music notes at Lucky. Before the blast makes it way towards Lucky, she rolls out the way. Scarlet stands her ground in front of Serenity while Aimii lands on the ground, a few feet away from them. "Don't hurt  her!" Serenity shout. "What!?Why!?" Scarlet looks at her best friend with a confused look on her  face.

Serenity points to the mad scientist grinning at the fight between Lucky and Aimii on the other side of the building. with a remote in this hand. "Oh Ok, i see.Then let's just take the remote from him then.Duh?" Scarlet rolls her eyes making her way towards the old man. Aimii aims her cannon at Scarlet and fires a warning shot in front of her. Scarlet steps back. "Ok, shesh. " she mutters staying her distance.  "Oi, don't forget about me." Lucky fires two flaming fist at Aimii. Aimii dodges with ease as Lucky zig-zags towards her. She aims her cannon at Lucky and tires to lock on with no avail.That was til Aimii blast a music note at the ground and making Lucky trip.In that instance Aimii fires another shot at Lucky. The blast lob Lucky through a wall, triggering the wall to crumble on top of her.  "One down. And you two are next.Aimii." the old man spats pointing at Scarlet and Serenity. Aimii aims her cannon at them, while it charges up.

A bullet hits Aimii's arm, making her grab it. "Not on my watch!" a voice shouts. Everyone looks over to the nearby window to see Leon grinning in his combat outfit. Without any time or emotion, Aimii aims her cannon at Leon. Binary codes appear in Aimii's eyes. "Analyzing target." she mutters as the chamber for the power changes to become a speaker.  "So, what's going on here?" Leon asked looking around as he leaps into the building. "What's wrong with you.She's trying to kill her duh!?" Scarlet shouts pointing at the old man and Aimii in a frenzy.  "Fire, Sound Shocker!" she chants as a larger sound magic circle forms in front of the cannon. From the circle blast a sound wave directly towards Leon who tried to block using the barrel. He covers his cat ears when the wave hits him. "OI!" he shouts trying to stand his ground. While Aimii continues the attack, Lucky rocket towards Aimii with a flaming fist to her face. The blow sends Aimii flying into the scientist. "Haha payback.Leave my friends alone." Lucky grins as she lands in Aimii's spot.  "Thanks but I had everything under control." Leon mutters as he regains himself.  "Yea sure, Asinine cat."Scarlet comments as she walks over to them with Serenity.  "I'm not a cat." Leon hiss, his ear flatten with anger.  "Haha sure you are.You're cat ears tell it all."Lucky blurts out playing with his cat ears. "OI STOP THAT!" he snaps at her, almost knocking her off her feet.  "Heh heh, Sorry Leon."Lucky held her hands up with a smile. Aimii gets back up and her other arm turns into a cannon. "Don't think you won yet!" the doctor yells getting back up as well. 

"I summon thee. Shinatobe of the wind,lend me your power."  Leon whisper to himself as a magic circle forms in the palms of his  hands. The swirling wind form a ball and comes out from the circle. He throws it at Aimii who blocks the attack with the barrel of her cannon causing it to disperse into the air. "Not effective?" Leon mutters in confusion.  "Whoa, is she a robot?" Lucky asked in awe. "Who cares.Robot or not, I'm not going to be killed by it." Scarlet comments. Serenity rushes over to them. "Are you guys alright?" she asked to which everyone nods in response. Leon points his revolver at and fires two bullets at Aimii before Serenity grabs his arm. "Stop that,Leon or you'll hurt her!" Serenity argues. Leon shoots a glare at her. "Oh sorry for trying to save you guys." he rolls his eyes lowing his weapon.  Aimii fires off another round of music notes at the group,making them scatter.  Leon throws another ball of wind toward Aimii but  Lucky leaps up in the way because she was firing another flaming fist at Aimii.Leon's attack hits Lucky, knocking her into Serenity. "Get out the way Lucky!" he shouts as the two get back up.  Scarlet claps her hands together muttering a chant. A magic circle appears in between her hands, as she extend her hands apart, a dagger appears out from the circle. Scarlet grabs it and lobs it towards Aimii while she was distracted by Leon's wind. The dagger flies past her cheek , cutting it a little as she tries to dodge it.  Leon leaps up with a ball of wind in his palm as he tries to barged this hand towards her. Aimii grabs his wrist and spins. She then threw Leon over  her shoulder and into Lucky  who had leaped up behind Aimii trying to attack her as well. They both smash into a support beam, leaving Scarlet protecting Serenity.  Serenity looks up to see a falling star heading straight for them.Leon and Lucky get back up, panting. "Guys look  out." Serenity warns pointing at the star falling. The falling star crashes right in between Aimii and the group causing smoke to fill the building making it crash on impact.



Serenity's Pov

The smoke finally clears as I looked around through the wreckage while coughing. Aimii and that madman were nowhere to be found. "GUYS! IS ANYONE THERE!?" I shouts in a panic as I start digging through the rubble.Leon pushes a large piece of the ceiling off his back and Scarlet was beside him. "You alright?" He asked looking at her holding his hand out.  Scarlet rolls her eyes as she gets up herself. "I had it covered." she mutters with her arms crossed. I give a sigh of relief seeing them alright. "Wait...where's Lucky?" Scarlet comments looking around. Oh no. We all started looking around. "OI guys.You gotta check this out!" shouts Lucky's voice. We all headed towards Lucky's position,only  to see a large star shaped object, it glows as we got closer. "What is that?" Leon asked examining it. "I have no clue." Lucky shrugs and scratched her head. For some reason I get a feeling like there's someone inside this thing, calling out to me. My feet starts to move all by themselves making me walk over to it. The center of the object starts to glow brighter,almost like button of some sort.  Curiosity got the best of me and I pressed it. Then the whole thing started shining brightly that we all had to shield our eyes. Once the shinning stop, the top part of the thing  opens up, revealing a little girl with long blue hair.


The people around the collapse building started to come in to investigate. "Come on, Leon, help me." I commanded trying to get the girl out the object. With Leon's help, we carried the girl out of public's eye. "Let's head to our dorm." I say to Scarlet, heading towards the school ."Wait,Are you sure a school's dorm is big enough?" Leon asked refusing to move an inch. "Yea I think he's right about that." Scarlet comments rubbing her chin,thinking.  "Well we can go-" before Leon finish, Lucky interrupted. "My place is big." she smiles while clapping. "I never really had any guest.This could be fun." she cheers skipping away. We shrug and follow after her. The girl was still asleep on Leon's back, her blue hair covering her face.

Lucky's Pov

Heheh I never had people come over to my place before.Sweet. Hmm I hope I cleaned up.After walking through the market place and through a meadow, we finally make it to my place, a tree house that sits in the middle of a large tree with smaller houses on the branches. I turned to look at everyone's surprised expression with a smile on my face.  "Whoa, you live here?" Scarlet comments walking towards the door on the trunk of the tree. I walk over to open it only to find a note on the door that reads:

 Dear Lucky or Max, 

The place is a little messy and I had to borrow some of your books,Max. And Lucky please don't touch my stuff.

                                                                                                                                                 -N

 I take the paper and stuffed it into my pocket. I know already. "Who's N? You live with other people?" Scarlet asked looking over my shoulder. I just simply open the door to let them in. "Yea I hope we're not intruding." Serenity asked holding her hands together. "No,no.Everyone's cool with it." I smile stopping in the  front of the three staircases, one to the left, right and middle. "Well the middle stairs lead to main part of the house. She can lay on the couch." I say leading everyone up the stairs.  The main part of the house where N's mini lab was was indeed messy. Books scattered the place and lab equipment everywhere. "Never thought you would be into science." Leon comments laying the mysterious girl on the couch. "Hehe, I really don't understand anything about science like N. She the science tech person of the house. " I admitted. "Huh, so you do live with other people." Scarlet mutters looking at the thick branches sprouting up through the holes in the ceiling that leads to other rooms of the tree house.   "Well in a way yea. We all live together." I nod walking over to the mysterious girl who started to move a little, groaning. "Hello.Are you alright?" Serenity calls to the little girl. The girl sits up and stares at me with her reddish pink eyes of hers and then to Serenity. "Who are you and where am I?" she mutters looking around without any expression. First Aimii and now this girl, please will someone show some kind of emotion, it's starting to creep me out. "Interesting,Lucky.So who do we have here?" a voice asked in my head. "Yea, so who did you bring into our house.Remember I warned you about bringing-" the first voice cuts the second voice off. "Ah calm down Jinx.Stop being mean.Not everyone is evil or mean you know.". "Stop it!Please don't start this again!" I shout aloud bringing my fist down on the couch. Then everyone starts staring at me...Uh oh.

 Scarlet's POV

"Stop it!Please don't start this again.!"Lucky shouted out of nowhere. We all started looking at her. What the heck? I know she is  a little weird but not this weird. "Hehe don't mind me,i'll be in the kitchen. " she says nervously walking out the room."Ok,anyways. We're in our friend's Lucky's house and I'm Serenity." Serenity introduces. "Just call me Scarlet and the cat over there is Prince furry butt. "I joked pointing at Leon. "OI my name is Prince Leon Ly." he hisses at me. "So what's your name?" Serenity asked trying not to laugh. The girl takes a minute to look at us all. "Hoshi." she reply in a soft shy tone while looking down at her hands. In the corner of my eye I spot Lucky poking her head out from the kitchen, listening in with a serious look on her face but I also noticed her eyes were a different color,being darkish blue instead of her usual blue. Only being shades darker.  I paid my attention back to Serenity and Hoshi. "Do you remember where you came from?" Leon asked sitting next to her. She shakes her head. "I don't remember." she sighs. "Well you can just stay with us for the night then we'll figure this out with the teacher."Lucky suggested with a smile walking back into the room. "Yea that seems like the best idea for now."Leon sighs scratching his head. I raise an brow at her. "Are you sure those other people living here will be ok with some random girl living here?" I questioned looking at her. Lucky simply nods. "Oh sure they won't mind. " Lucky replies with confidence. "So what do you say Hoshi?" Serenity ask the girl. She shrugs. "I guess.I don't know nor can I remember anything." she replies refusing to look at any of us.  Lucky cheers hopping around. "A sleepover,yay!" Lucky cheers.  Leon then gets up,looking out the window at the sunset. "Alright then it's settled, see you guys in the morning." he yawns. "Well i think i'll spend a night here as well." I mutter looking at Lucky who nods. "Sure.The more the merrier friend. " she smiles running down the hallway. "Huh?Really Scarlet?" Serenity looks at me confused. "Ha ha don't worry i just want to check out this huge tree house."  I try to play off my concerns about Lucky. Leon was already on his way out. "Just bring my stuff back, ok." I smile pushing Serenity down the stairs. 

Lucky comes back with blankets and pillows. "Huh?Where did everyone go?" She asked looking around. "They went home.So...what's up with all the science stuff eh?" I asked walking back towards the couch.Lucky shrugs. "I really never understand what N does most of the time and when she explains, it just makes me dizzy."Lucky explains handing me the remote to the TV. "And how are you getting power to this place?Its a tree for Pete's sake." I finally realize all the electric stuff in the house. "Well N uses electricity type magic tools to power the place that I can't really explain that she created," she answers walking up one of the thick branches to another room.I really want to know more about this N person, she seems interesting.  "So when are the other people going to show up?" I continue my questions while she was in another room.I took this chance to take a look around the house. "Huh.I'm not sure really. Probably not for a while."Lucky calls back.
