Unmasked part 3 1:15 am, Nov. 1st (Makoto’s room) A: Zzzzz... M: Zzzzz... “THUMP!” A: 0_0 Nya? (looks around, goes back to sleep) ???: (licks Aisha’s cheek) A: (wakes up) How dare y... (but there’s nothing there) A: (lays back down but keeps one eye open) M: Zzzzz... ???: (brushes Makoto’s hair) M: (wakes up) Huh? (looks around) Oh, very funny Aisha. A: (sits up) What do you mean? M: You’re trying to scare me. A: Me? You just... M: Just what? I didn’t do anything. A: Shh. (twitches her ears) M: What is it? A: ......There’s something in here. M: Now I know you’re just trying to scare me. A: (looks at Makoto) Makoto, get down. M: Nice try. A: Get down! (leaps at Makoto) M: AAAH!! (hides under her sheets) A: (jumps over Makoto’s bed and starts wrestling with something on the other side) M: (peeks out from under the sheets) A: (throws something against the wall) Aisha and Makoto see a monstrous figure. The creature is covered in black fur, has three clawed fingers on each hand, two tremendous spikes on it’s back that curve up and towards it’s head, a hideous face that looks like a cross between a wolf and a crocodile, razor sharp teeth, and burning red eyes. M: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?! ???: (starts climbing the walls) A: Whatever it is, it won’t be alive for much longer. RAAR!! (leaps at the creature) ???: (leaps out of the way and onto Makoto’s bed) M: AAAAAHH!!!! ???: (looks at Makoto and licks its lips with its long disgusting tongue) A: (comes up behind the creature and puts it in a headlock) Makoto, get out of here! M: (quickly gets out of bed and runs out of the room) Justin-san!! Ozz!! Anybody!! ???: (grabs Aisha and throws her over its shoulders) A: (hits the wall) Aah! ???: (lets out a roar that sounds like a cross between a pig and a veloceraptor) RAAR!! A: This thing’s pretty strong. And I hate to say it, but it might be stronger than me. I could really use a full moon right now. ???: (holds up its arms and starts to shiver) A: Nya? ???: (long, blade-like spikes come out of each hand from between it’s two fingers, starts swinging at Aisha) A: (dodges its attacks) And whatever this thing is, it’s smart too. It fights like a class A assassin. But this is hardly the time to be impressed. (rolls out of the way and behind the creature, runs out of the room) (Justin’s room) O: (still lying on the bed) M: (trying to wake him up) Ozz, please wake up! We need your help! A: What are you still doing here? I told you to get out! M: (grabs Ozz) Not without Ozz! AAH! Aisha, you’re bleeding! A: Nya? (looks down and notices her side is bleeding, her eyes grow wide) Just as I feared. That thing IS stronger than me. (grabs Makoto’s arm) Come on. We have to get out of here. A and M: (rush out into the hall) ???: Grrrrrr! M: AAAHH!! A: Run! (grabs Makoto and runs down the hall) ???: (chases after them on all fours) A: (turns the corner and slides open the secret door to the dojo) In here, quick. M: (runs inside the dojo and curls up in the farthest corner of the room) Ozz, please wake up. A: (slips inside and silently closes the door, grabs a katana from the wall) ........ M: ........ A: ........ M: ........ “BOOM!!” M: AAAHH!! A: Will you cut that out! ???: (breaks down the door) A: (rushes at the monster slashing and chopping) YAAAA!! ???: (dodges her attacks) A: YAA! YAA! HEEYAA!! ???: (grabs the blade and breaks it off the handle) A: Nya? Oh man. Justin’s gonna kill me. ???: (swings at Aisha with the broken blade) A: (ducks down, grabs a hidden knife from her ankle and stabs the creature in the belly) ???: (steps back, pulls out the knife, the wound instantly closes up) A: 0_0 No way. ???: (kick Aisha down) A: Ahh! ???: (grabs Aisha’s wrists, pinning her down) A: (kicks the creature between the legs) ???: (lets out a yelp) A: Well, now we know you’re a boy monster. ???: (grabs Aisha’s throat and starts to choke her) A: *gag* OK. That was a bad idea. ???: Grrrrr! M: AISHA! ???: (notices Makoto in the corner and lets Aisha go) A: *gasp, cough, cough, cough, pant, pant* ???: (walks over towards Makoto) M: 0_0 (frozen in fear) ???: Hisssssss. (starts to drool) A: Makoto! M: (closes her eyes) O: (finally wakes up) ???: (now inches away from Makoto) O: (flies out of Makoto’s arms, puts the monster in psychic bubble, and sends him flying out through the skylight) ???: RAAAAAAR!!! (lands in the woods) A: The skylight. Why didn’t I think of that? (jumps through the skylight and onto the roof, scours for the monster) M: (puts Ozz in a vice grip of a hug) Oh, Ozz! You saved us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! O: *gag, choke* A: (jumps back down) Does this kind of thing happen often? M: 0_0 ! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?! A: (looks back up) M: Is it gone? A: I’m not sure. It may come back. M: What was that thing? A: I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like it. M: W.... what do we do now? A: I’ll stay awake in case it comes back. You go back to bed. M: BACK TO BED?! After tonight, I’ll be lucky if I ever get to sleep again!! A: OK. Then stay on the vigil with me. M: ....I suppose I could try to get back to sleep. A: Good night, Makoto. O: (nudges Aisha) A: Nya? What is it, Ozz. O: (points at Makoto, makes a sleeping gesture) A: Yeah, Makoto’s going back to sleep. M: I think what he’s trying to say is that you should go to sleep to. O: (nods) A: What? But what if that thing comes back? M: That thing almost killed you, Aisha. No offense, but you’re no match for it. Besides, now that Ozz has recovered his strength, he can watch out for us. O: (nods) ^_^ A: A proud Ctarl-ctarl putting its safety in the hands of some flying squirrel. This is unheard of. Ahh! (grabs her side) M: We really should get that bandaged up. Come on. (Makoto’s room) M: (gets in bed) Thanks again, Ozz. O: ^_^ M: Aisha? A: *sigh* Yeah, whatever. M: Oh, drop some pride for once! A: *groan* Ozz... O: ........ A: (smiles) Thanks. O: (sets up a psychic barrier around them) M and A: (sink down under their covers) A: ........ M: ........ A: Makoto? M: Hmm? A: If you ever tell anyone that I screamed “run” in the middle of a battle,... I’ll break your legs. M: *chuckles* Noted.
