Where My Woyalties Wie (Episode S3: Zinc Special!)

[zinc]

((Considering the start of Episode S2 was at least a month ago, almost, I thought at least we could try Episode S3, if not S4.))

A man- looking middle-aged and also looking like your classic anime villain who was the man of no expression, with perfect hair and temper- was walking into Patch Village. No-one had invited him, and no-one would want him, if they knew who he was.

This was Seigyoki Noyo-Wamushi, the man who had caused so much of Zinc's trouble.

Having his eyes closed, it was astonishing to see that the man could tell where Zinc was. He opened his eyes and turned his head towards the roof, to see the small cat-boy standing there, trying to look tough.

In truth, he was nearly wetting himself with fear, and ready to cry his eyes out, but instead, he pulled his pendant out. It could be seen that the pendant no longer had the blades attached.

"What happened to your blades?" He asked, knowing the answer. Indeed, the reply was "I took them off."

"Are you going against me?" Seigyoki asked, no expression in his voice.

Zinc gave a small sinister smile. His hair covered his eyes, and so he gave off the enigmatic look you normally see in animes. "I'd sooner pwunge this bwade fwom the pendant into my heart, than betway you." With that, he shoved the jagged blade into his chest, drawing blood.

The former master was not surprised. He didn't even blink as his little pawn did this hasty action. He was not surprised, because he was not impressed. "I thought as much. I have no choice then. If you shall not co-operate, then you shall die."

Zinc, weakened from the stab, had only this to say. "Fine by me... I'd wather die anyway, than wet my fwiends be your swaves. I have a whole army weady to attack you, if you twy to take over.

You twied to convince me that they no wonger wanted me awound. Now I see that I was wong to think that... You're my evil!" He squeaked, managing to shout this last bit, as though it were a codeword.

He could no longer speak further, as large vines surrounded him, hoisting him into the air.

"Do you not understand, pawn? I am a Shaman of the plants. I have power over nature. I cannot be stopped, and I shall have my power." Letting a plant grow underneath him, to put himself to Zinc's level, he gave a sneer. "All these Shamans will be mine to enslave."

((Ooh, cliffhanger! Anyways, this can be the cue for all the Shamans, and the "Trenchcoat Army" to attack.

P.S. RE Seigyoki Noyo-Wamushi: When Zinc said "You are my evil!", this is referring to my plan upon returning to the boards. Seigyoki is a characterization of how bitter I felt during my absence. Kill Seigyoki, as we shall, hopefully, then kill my bitterness and anger and despondency, etc. and I can get back to being outgoing and Zinc-ish.

P.P.S. I also have something "pwanned" by Zinc, after this whole ordeal. Prepare for more kawaoke!))

Gus looks at the man from the side. He walks out, half-grinning.

"Aw, now what kind of a punk would try and hurt a scrawny-ass little kid like this? I'm sorry, mister, but I'ma have to teach you a lesson."

[zinc]

Seigyoki turned and looked towards the one calling out to him. "Ohh? And what can you do on your own?"

Zinc had nothing to say. He had blacked out, from losing so much blood.

[Secretofmana]

((OOC: OK! This is before Sarah and Biggs team up. ))

Biggs floated over the building. There was Zinc, bleeding alot. Biggs stared at Zinc, and then at Seigyoki with a bloodfrenzy look, a look he had never given before. He noticed Gus talking to him.

"Ohh? And what can you do on your own?" He heard the evil guy say to Gus. Biggs smirked, then cackled, then burst into a frenzy of extrely evil laughter that was not his own. "He's not alone.......I knew it would be a good idea to reassemble them in case anything goes wrong......... TRENCHCOAT ARMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! ATTACKKKKKK!!!!!!!!" Biggs smirked as thousands of oversouling trenchcoat people dashed in to attack. "And this time..." A guy stopped near Biggs and nodded. "I'm going to join in the fight."

The guy raised his hand and yelled, "BIGGS! SPIRIT FORM!!!! INTEGRATION!!!!!!!" Biggs was integrated.

He began to talk with his host. "You brought it?"

"Yep. It's behind you."

"Good" Biggs turned around and grabbed a case. He flipped it open and it was another blue pendant! Biggs grinned, took it, and took a battle stance. A swordsman ghost appeared, and the host talked again. "This is Gary, my swordsman ghost. He should be a good oversoul for you."

"YES! This is perfect!" shouted Biggs in that guy's body. "GARY! SPIRIT FORM!" He shoved it into the pendant. "OVASOUL!!!!!" A bright green light emitted from the pendant and when it faded away, the pendant was a blueish-greenish sword! Biggs smiled and charged into the battle. This time....I'll help too......

[zinc]

The aspiring Shaman enslaver turned towards the army, and for once, a look of concern crossed his normally cool face. "Kuso..." He muttered, and letting his vines grow, and multiply, the ones holding Zinc letting go to attack with the others.

As Zinc was let go, he fell towards the earth, only to be caught by one of the villagers watching in awe. This random and rather generic person took the small Patch towards the paediatrician, using best judgement.

[Gus]

Gus, felling somewhat ignored what with the appearance of the Trenchcoat army, and being rather upset at this ignorance, decided he'd had enough. He oversouled, flew up to the old punk who was messing with Zinc, and punched him in the face. "Pay attention to me, dammit! I was saying something cool and noble, and you just IGNORED me!?"

[zinc]

((Sorry to burst your bubble Gus, but if you meant Seigyoki, then you may wanna change your post. Seigyoki's out of reach, because he's still standing upon his plant.))

[Gus]

((Nyah, I made me fly up))

[zinc]

Seigyoki growled. "Insolent Shaman filth." He sent a large plant and vine flying towards Gus.

((I just noticed that my Karma goes up by very rarely, but there's a large amount of people who keep lowering it.))

[Gus]

((Dunt look at me. I stopped lowering yer karma when you got me hooked on this whole Seigyoki story.))

Gus dodged past the vines, and swung around to slice them with his razor-sharp wings. He grinned. "Heh, yer not so bad fer an old guy! But why dunt ya try this!"

As he spoke, three feathers appeared in his hand. They glowed white, then turned black. They flew out of his hand, towards Seigyoki. As the three razorlike feathers swept toward the older man, Gus yelled out his attack name. "Triple Zephyr Slicer Technique Move Attack no jutsu!"

And everyone looked at him kinda funny.

[zinc]

He tried to dodge, but all three feathers hit him in the gut. Being forced from his plant pedestal, he was thrown to the ground. The fall was what killed him.

He made no sound or movement. The plants all shrivelled up, except for one that ate its master as a tribute, before bursting into flame.

In the hospital, Zinc, now bedridden, gave a smile, as he felt the darkness from his heart disappear. Tears came to his eyes, and dripped onto the sheets.

"Awigatou, Gus-san, Biggs-san, minna..."

- - - - - - - -

A few days later...

"Gus-san! Gus-san! I've got something for you!" He ran up to Gus, having something or other behind his back. "I've got a pwesent for you!" He beamed, excitedly.

[Secretofmana]

Biggs was floating around with Sarah, just plain talking, when he saw Zinc run up to Gus with the present. "Hey....Gus gets a present and I don't? Just because Gus happened to be there at that moment? Unfair!" Biggs floated over to Zinc, saying,

"Heyyyyy! What about me?"

[zinc]

He blinked twice, and looked at Biggs, with the innocent eyes. "Oh, I have something for you, too, Biggs-san." He pocketed Gus' present quickly, before pulling out a piece of paper.

"Jaaan!" It was a crayon drawing- crudely drawn, as could be expected from a 7 year old- of Biggs the ghost. "Do you wike it?" He asked, a beam plastered on his face.

[Gus]

((Wow, that was all it took? That guy was weak! MY dark side could kick YOUR dark side's ass any day!))

Gus rubbed his head uneasily. "A- a present? Eh, ya didn't really have to do that..."

He grins. "But I'll take it anyways."

[zinc]

He pulled the other present back out. It was a little- rather badly done- figurine of Zinc himself, done by him. "This can be me, for your cowwection of dowwus!" He beamed, hopefully.
