Pt. 4: A New Hope?

[KonokoHasano]

Mark pauses for a moment, looking over to Mira, raising an eyebrow. "I think it's a bit early to even think about that. If...no, when we get the original back, then I will answer your question."

The clone slowly motions for the others to slowly head on in as she slowly follows the person down through the doorway. Meanwhile, the other three clones carefully look around the front area, one of them slowly heading over toward the doorway and trying to keep an eye on the first clone while looking around.

"... why can't anybody just go after and catch the original? I mean, there's a lot of people who could do it, and that'd cut out the whole middle man thing." Mira stated, frowning a little.


Heading on down the doorway, the clone would notice herself entering into what appeared to be -- for all intents and purposes -- an underground jungle of some kind. The ceiling itself was modified like an artificial sky, complete with clouds that moved around. Many forms of flora were spread around the place, and she would see numerous trees with color fruits in them.

"You know, I'd appreciate it if you lot would leave." A young girl in miko clothes. "All of you give off too many negative feelings, and I'm not sure that I like it." If they looked, the clones would indeed see a small shinto shrine off in one of the corners, accompanied by a nice looking rock garden and other things one would find near a shrine... such as a shishi odoshi.

[Marky]

In the bag are what look like seven stones, one for fire, electricity, water, night, day, grass and ice, a strange gun, and a booklet with a picture of a shiny Eevee on it.

The Mary clone decides to leave the seven stones in there, but takes out the strange gun and the booklet, looking the gun over closely. "Huh...odd." She says, before then opening the book up to the first page of it, a bit curious about the shiny Eevee and thinking it might tell more about this stuff.

The blue slash just flies in the air but hits not too far from Mary and left what looked like a cut into the building. Francesca then release another one with two of her katanas but for Mary's back. The neko was breathing heavily as she was running.

Mary blinks, glancing over to the building, before quickly turning around to face Francesca, slashing at the blue slash, and in the same fluid motion, slashes an orange-colored sickle-shaped beam of energy, spiraling toward the blue aura.

Mark sighs a little. "Thing is, I would've already have asked Konoko to help me if I actually KNEW where he was..." He rubs his head and sighs again. "That's the main problem...and the fact that I'm the last one...well, minus the clone I just brought back to normal...I can't be going out there and searching, now can I?"

The clone pauses for a moment, looking around the underground jungle. "Well...this is interesting..." She says, although she stays on her guard, glancing around a little. Meanwhile, the three other clones pause for a moment, quickly looking over to the young girl in miko clothes. One of the two closest to her suddenly speaks up. "How about no, little lady, and if you keep quiet we might just leave you alone."

"Hn... sounds like a bunch of annoying problems." She muttered, shaking her head.

The clone suddenly comes across... a tiger, which happens to stare at her amidst the foliage.

Meiga frowns a little at this. "But you people are trespassing; I have a right to ask you all to leave." The frown deepens at the threat. "Do you really want to risk doing anything to me and getting my aunt Konoko furious? Leaving this place would be for your own good."

[Shy Shay]

It tells about what's what! Apparently, a shiny Eevee is in the egg. One with perfect IV values and can get infinate EV values. The stones don't disapear when used, and are used for all of the current evolutions of Eevee. The gun is a de-evolution gun, usable against any pokemon. However, if it's used against a pokemon that can't devolve or a non-pokemon, then it'll explode and TF the user into a maid for whatever hir was aiming at for the time span of one month.

[Maiden Miki]

Mary blinks, glancing over to the building, before quickly turning around to face Francesca, slashing at the blue slash, and in the same fluid motion, slashes an orange-colored sickle-shaped beam of energy, spiraling toward the blue aura.

Francesca gritted her teeth and then swung her neck, and arms. The Aura Sabers and katana then were swung quickly as they unleash a blue swirl that then combine into one to counter against the Orange Flying Sickle attack.

"108 Caliber Phoenix," yelled Francesca as she stood there.

((Three updates in one day?! This is ludicrous! This is insanity! This is madness! This is...*brick'd*))

Mark slowly nods a little, sighing. "Yeah...you can say that again..."

The clone pauses for a moment, holding her axe defensively, as she stares at the tiger, slowly backing away from it.

"Tch...okay little girlie...you're really starting to annoy me." The clone says, starting to charge up a ball of orange-colored energy in her hands. The other two don't seem to be bothering to do anything at the moment.

The Mary clone grins a bit at the info about the egg and the stones, and the first bit with the gun, but frowns at the last bit. "Hm...gotta be careful in using this." She says, before seeing if the book says anything else.

Mary blinks, glancing over to the building, before quickly turning around to face Francesca, slashing at the blue slash, and in the same fluid motion, slashes an orange-colored sickle-shaped beam of energy, spiraling toward the blue aura.

Francesca gritted her teeth and then swung her neck, and arms. The Aura Sabers and katana then were swung quickly as they unleash a blue swirl that then combine into one to counter against the Orange Flying Sickle attack.

"108 Caliber Phoenix," yelled Francesca as she stood there.

"Hmph. Impressive." Mary says, before suddenly sending a barrage of small ki blasts at Francesca!

[Shy Shay]

It says that if the Eevee and a person really wants, they can combine into one being. There minds will be mixed into one, but the key bits of both beings will remain. It also has an activation code to start hatching the egg.

[Maiden Miki]

"Hmph. Impressive." Mary says, before suddenly sending a barrage of small ki blasts at Francesca!

"Yeah....Now how about you give my kid back since I impressed you," said Francesca as she then began to use her three sword style to block the ki blast. Still due to her tireness she was being pushed back due to missing hitting some. Eventually she falls back.

[KonokoHasano]

Mark slowly nods a little, sighing. "Yeah...you can say that again..."

The tiger just stared for a long moment before turning and walking off, seemingly losing interest in something that could easily fight back and defend itself. This means she is free to look around this odd place some more~

"Do you really want to try and do that?" Koda Motoi asked as he stepped in front of Meiga, protecting his younger cousin and giving the clone a deep look as he adjusted his glasses. "Do you really want to risk attacking a member of the Hasano clan while trespassing on our property? You realize that doing so could incur the wrath of quite a few people here, and that the only reason you're able to even walk around here is because you really having done anything damaging?"

The Mary clone pauses for a moment, and teleports away, putting the objects in the safe location for the time being, before teleporting back and looking down at the unconscious Shay. "Hm...what to do with you?"

"Yeah....Now how about you give my kid back since I impressed you," said Francesca as she then began to use her three sword style to block the ki blast. Still due to her tireness she was being pushed back due to missing hitting some. Eventually she falls back.

Suddenly Mary teleports right behind Francesca. "How about I put you out of your misery?" She says, before aiming an elbow right at the back of Francesca's head.

The clone then moves on after the tiger turns and walks off, looking around, on her guard, as she tries to find the cloaked figure.

Meanwhile, just outside of the underground jungle, the three clones pauses, seeing Koda, and frown, listening to him. Growling, the one that was charging up the attack suddenly kills the attack with her other hand, creating a little bit of smoke from the discharge, before moving away and following after the first clone, storming off and wanting to get this over with fast, now. The other two clones pause for a moment. "We're looking for someone...and when we get this person...then we'll leave." She says, before both of the other clones follow into the underground tunnel, although the last one keeps an eye on both Koda and Meiga, before following after.

As the clone moves about, she would eventually come across what appears to be a plant-girl. The plant-girl stares at her for a long moment. "... can I help you?" She asked, staring.

As the others arrive in the underground jungle, they would see the cloaked Konoko disappear down a completely different path than where the other clone had gone down on.

[Shy Shay]

Shay groans and starts to get up. "Humina humina wha?"

[Maiden Miki]

Suddenly Mary teleports right behind Francesca. "How about I put you out of your misery?" She says, before aiming an elbow right at the back of Francesca's head.

Francesca shifts just a bit to allow herself to get hit on the shoulder but that knocks her down.

"Damn...." said Francesca as she grits her teeth and lays on the ground. The Aura Sabers disappear and she seem to be in pain. It looks as if the effects of cutting her hand off was taking it's toll.

The clone pauses for a moment, staring at the plant-girl in confusion. "Yeah...I'm looking for a cloaked figure. Seen one around?"

As the three see the cloaked Konoko, they quickly dart after her, not knowing which way the other clone went.

Shay groans and starts to get up. "Humina humina wha?"

"Hm? Oh, you're awake, finally? I was just pondering whether or not to kill you again and see what happens." The Mary clone says, kicking Shay in the chest and putting her shoe on his chest, trying to hold him down, grinning.

Suddenly Mary teleports right behind Francesca. "How about I put you out of your misery?" She says, before aiming an elbow right at the back of Francesca's head.

Mary grins as she sees Francesca laying down on the ground. Staying away and up in the air, hovering above her, Mary looks down at Francesca. "Valiant effort, woman, valiant effort. But, I think it's about time I take my prize and leave."

[KonokoHasano]

The clone pauses for a moment, staring at the plant-girl in confusion. "Yeah...I'm looking for a cloaked figure. Seen one around?"

As the three see the cloaked Konoko, they quickly dart after her, not knowing which way the other clone went.

"Mmm... sorry, having seen one." She said, shaking her head. Her eyes then lit up as she leaned forward. "Ooooo, you know, I've never met you before! I know a few of the Hasanos though. They were nice enough to let me live here." She blinks. "Um... so why you looking for some person?"

Konoko disappears amidst the foliage, and as she does, spikes suddenly shoot out of the ground and attempt to pierce all three clones through.
