Chapter 26a
Ta walks out of the school with a large bag of trash and heads for the dumpster. He opens the lid and Lawrence looks up at him, but Ta doesn't see him and tosses the trash away.

Lawrence grunts in pain and Ta looks in the dumpster.

"Hello... Why are you in here?" Ta asks pulling Lawrence out.

"I was thrown in there this morning." Lawrence replies.

"You are one of Deity's friends, right?" Ta asks.

"Yes. I'm Lawrence. Have you seen Deity around? I need to talk to him." Lawrence says.

"As a matter of fact I do. Follow me." Ta says with an evil grin.

*****************************

Jade struggles to get his legs reattached as Sessaru is lost in thought for a second.

"See you in class." He says sarcastically.

He tries to move and his feet won't budge. He looks down and sees several pens that have been sliced in half sticking out of his feet.

"What the hell?" Sessaru says completely confused.

The distinct sound of a sword being drawn catches Sessaru's attention. He looks around and sees Shin standing there sheathing his katana.

Shin starts laughing like an innocent little girl as he steps closer to Sessaru.

"Don't even think about it?" Sessaru says.

"Think? It's already been done, amateur. It may take some time for that puny brain of yours to register what has transpired while you were distracted." Shin says smiling.

Without warning, hundreds of slits form all the way up Sessaru's pant legs and then an incredibly sharp pain is felt from his own nuts. Sessaru tries to fall but the way his legs are positioned, its impossible.

"You.... You... You're Shin..." Jade says in disbelief.

Shin turns towards him and smiles real big and flashes the peace sign like a typical anime girl character.

Jade looks at her confused.

She twirls and spins a couple times before rolling in mid air and drives her knee into the base of his skull, knocking him out cold.

"That should take care of that. As for you. (looks at Sessaru.) I no longer have a quarrel with you for tricking me or for throwing me off the roof." Shin says and leaves with katana in hand.

"One question. Where did you get your sword?" Sessaru asks still in severe pain.

"Nara handed it to me as he went by." Shin says and slams the door shut.

"Bastard." Sessaru says and continues to hold his nuts.

"(I think he broke them.)" Ashen says.

"(You deal with this. I'm taking a nap.)" Sessaru says and hands control over to Ashen once again.

Immediately, Ashen lets out an ear piercing scream of pain.

*****************************

"Deity is right in here." Ta says opening the door to the small opened area where Deity's body is.

They walk in and Ta closes the door.

"Holy shit! What happened to him?" Lawrence asks.

Ta clenches his fist and the second Lawrence turns to look at him, Ta unleashes a jaw shattering punch that nearly sends his jaw flying off.
Lawrence hits the ground and lays there for a second stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Lawrence turns to get up and is immediately hit in the jaw again, this time from the other side. Lawrence hits the ground and his lower jaw lands several feet away.

"Nara is to kind for his own good. Allowing an enemy to simply be taken out with the trash. I, as you can tell, am not that kind. Now stand and fight back." Ta says motioning for him to get up.

The blood just pours from where the missing jaw was.

Lawrence puts up his fists and is rocked by a flurry of body shots and sent sprawling across the ground from an uppercut.

Dazed and confused, Lawrence lays there.

Ta walks over and picks him up by the hair. Lawrence stands there wobbly for a second and just before he falls forward, Ta clotheslines him with all his might. The back of Lawrence's head splits open and brain matter flies everywhere.

"Didn't realize there was that in here." Ta says kicking some plants aside to uncover a manhole cover.

He leaps up to the roof and looks back at the surprised look in Lawrence's eyes as his body lays in the cool grass and his head lays with oozing brain matter and blood onto the manhole cover. Ta shrugs and heads back to class.

*****************************

Kareen and Raijin are both cut up and bleeding.

"I like you. You are putting up a fight." Raijin says as he dodges her kick.

The wind from it pushes him back nearly ten feet.

He throws a couple scalpels at her which she dodges gracefully, and he takes the sight of her lucious body covered and glistening with sweat from the sun.

"Such a lovely form. I see why Nara keeps you around but I bet I can make you scream more then he ever could." Raijin says and whips a scalpel at her. It barely slices her skin and sticks into the cement curb.

She screams in pain and he smiles as if to enjoy her pain.

"Simply wonderful." He says and dodges an arrow.

"Now where did you get that? Are we not alone here? Guess, I'll deal with them after I make you scream till you pass out." Raijin says and dodges a couple more arrows.

Kareen smiles and licks her lips at him, seductively.

"You couldn't last long enough for that to happen. Especially with broken equipment." She says in a sexy voice and a wink.

"Huh?" Raijin says confused.

He looks down and sees about a dozen small crossbow bolts sticking out of his "equipment."

"When did..." He says and dodges her kick again. This time slicing her well toned thigh near her skirt. He groans in pain and leaps back a few feet.

"(She only has her bow so where did these crossbow bolts come from? She isn't wearing enough clothes to conceal a crossbow. Someone else had to of fired these shots.)" Raijin says to himself and tries to carefully remove the bolts.

"Considering the size of the targets, I would say that I am still the best archer alive." Kareen boasts.

"You whore shall pay for this as you are gagging on it!" Raijin says and attacks with blinding speed.

Kareen dodges a few of the attacks but is hit by most of them. She holds in her screams as the razor sharp scalpels slice her and her clothes to bits.

She finds a small hole and soccer kicks Raijin right on the inside of the left knee and then kicks him square in the chest that sends him flying across the street straight into a pickup truck.

"(How did she see through my attack and find an opening? Its as if time slowed down for her.)" Raijin says to himself as he picks himself up.

Kareen drops to one knee and ties her shirt back into place as well as her skirt. Blood is flowing from the paper thin cuts, drenching her last remains of her clothes.

In the distance the sounds of police sirens is heard.

"Better finish this quickly before the cops arrive." Kareen says and stands up with her bow in hand.

She looks up and Raijin is nowhere to be seen.

Hiding on the roof of the building across the street, he peeks out.

"Where is the demon? There has to be another." Raijin says and carefully surveys the area.

Kareen takes the opportunity to look her bow over. Inside the bow itself is a small crossbow. She refills the bolts with the last few she has before looking around again for Raijin.

A loud scream shatters the silence.

"I would be more careful, especially if you want to try and make me "gag on it." Those bolts are barbed so the only way to pull them out is to push them through." Kareen shouts still looking around.

"That whore did this on purpose! For this she will be begging me to kill her." Raijin says and leaps high into the air.

At the last possible second, Kareen rolls to the right as Raijin crashes into the ground. He does manage to slice her foot badly through the shoe.

Kareen stands up and Raijin is right there with his scalpels drawn. He shreds her shirt, bra, and breasts with ease, causing her to muffle her scream and cover her chest.

"And now for that teasingly short skirt." He says and slices her, hips, skirt, and panties.

Kareen passes out from the overwhelming pain and Nara's power.

"I...... used.... too..... much.... Forgive me...." Kareen says as she blacks out.

Raijin spins around to see Kareen's incredible and bloody goods but instead locks eyes with Nara who stands there glaring down at him.

The air suddenly becomes real dense and thick. Raijin stands there paralyzed with terror as he looks deep into Nara's eyes.

There is a massive rush of air that sends Raijin tumbling across the ground and straight through the side of a semi trailer and into the the large plate glass window of a store.

The air returns to normal and Nara looks back at Kareen.

"Please forgive me for not helping out more." A young woman says kneeling next to Kareen's body.

Nara holds his hand up to her and she shuts her mouth.

"You did just fine. He is way out of your class so don't beat yourself up. I will handle this." Nara says and walks over with his aura just pouring off him.

Raijin gets up and staggers to the nearest wall to keep himself upright.

"What the hell hit me?" Raijin asks and looks himself over.

Nara's powerful arm comes through the brickwall and wraps around Raijin's throat, then pulls him through the wall. Nara slams him onto his back and a circle of blood forms above Nara's head.

The blood that drips off of it doesn't fall to the ground, it instead rises towards the ceiling. From with in it, Nara's book emerges slowly.

"Raijin. Wasn't it?" Nara says as the book carefully and slowly lowers itself onto Raijin's chest.

He nods and the book opens.

Nara reads it and an evil idea comes to his mind.

"I must say your work with these is very impressive. (picks up one of Raijin's scalpels.) Nothing but paper cuts that look life threatening but aren't. That shows a tremendous amount of skill and control. Tell me why her?" Nara says twirling the scalpel.

Raijin is silent and Nara looks at him with great curiosity.

Raijin's eyes grow wide and he inhales deeply.

"I guess I should mention that if you don't answer my questions quickly and truthfully then that wonderful little book there gains weight and will squish you like a bug. However you won't die from it. It will just be the most excruciating pain you have ever felt." Nara explains.

"I killed a scout this morning that wouldn't stop saying, "I must get to Lady Kareen."" Raijin says.

"I see." Nara says and paces back and forth slowly for several minutes.

Nara snaps his fingers and looks down at Raijin.

"Can't have you attacking people now can I?" Nara says and breaks both of Raijin's arms, which causes dozens of scalpels to fall out of his hands.

"Just kill me." Raijin says.

"Nope. Have a better idea. Something..... New. For me anyway." Nara says and laughs demonically.

"FREEZE!!!" A cop shouts from the doorway.

As the cop blinks, Nara slams his head into the exposed metal support beam.

"Bring him." Nara says and snaps his fingers.

Several of Kareen's scouts pick Raijin up and follow Nara who take's Kareen into his arms. They all head for home.

*****************************

Jade finally comes around just before the final bell and looks around confused.

"What the hell am I doing up here?" He asks himself aloud then gets up.

Ashen is still trying to pull the pen halves out of his feet.

"Ashen? What happened?" Jade asks and makes his way over.

"Not sure." Ashen replies.

"(Sessaru. Wake up.)" Ashen says.

"(Yeah. What?)" Sessaru replies.

"(Jade. He is up and helping get the pens out. What should I do?)" Ashen asks.

"(Nothing. Just let him help. It appears that Shin erased his memory from today.)" Sessaru says.

"(Okay.)" Ashen says as Jade pulls out the last pen half.

Silmeria bursts through the door and sees Jade helping him.

"Huh?" She says totally confused.

"There. All done. Do try to be more careful." Jade says politely and leaves.

"What happened?" Silmeria asks looking Ashen's body over.

Ashen explains what happened before the two of them leave for home.

*****************************

Sessaru takes over once they reach home and he storms straight up to Nara's room, kicking the door open in the process.

"What the hell is the big idea?" Sessaru says angrily before seeing Kareen laying all bandaged up in Nara's bed.

"I told you to keep it calm and not to go overboard. You were losing control when I went by so I simply had to draw your attention to something else." Nara says not looking at him.

Sessaru is quiet for a moment.

"Alright, I understand. But why fifty pens? That's a little excessive don't you think?" Sessaru says.

"It kept you busy and calm didn't it." Nara says and walks out with Sessaru.

Sessaru doesn't say a word.

*****************************

Ta walks in the house and heads to the basement. He flips the light switch on and sees Raijin chained to the wall with his arms and legs spread wide.

Ta looks him over and sniffs the air.

"Oh you royally screwed up. I would feel bad for you but this should be entertaining to watch." Ta says with a laugh while grabbing a case of pop and then heads back upstairs.

"You didn't attack him?" Nara says surprised.

"Not when I can smell Kareen's blood on him and my sense of smell sucks in this body. So why are you keeping him alive?" Ta says.

"There is something you should all know but it will have to wait till Kareen wakes." Nara says.

"What is it?" Sessaru asks.

"Is it about our bodies?" Ta asks excitedly.

"Not sure. All she said was she had something to tell me and then passed out again." Nara says.

That evening, Nara carries Kareen downstairs and sets her in a chair.

"Good. You are all here. I have some great news." Kareen says.

"What is it?" Ta asks.

"Your bodies are going to be shipped to a new facility. I am uncertain of where and when at this time but my scouts are working to find out as we speak." Kareen says.

Everyone is silent and just stares.

*****************************

"Alright, listen up. We are going to be transferring the bodies to another research facility. This is going to be our chance to prove to our lords that we can do something useful while they are away." The Lieutenant says.

"Why, Kyo? What is wrong with the current research facility?" One lieutenant asks.

"Because this one has better equipment and is closer to a portal." Kyo says.

A messenger enters and hands a message to Roswell's scout leader.

The scout leader reads the note and crumples it up.

"Everything alright, Koji?" Kyo asks.

"Just fine. Do continue." Koji says.

"We will make use of the human's advanced transportation systems." Kyo continues as Koji leaves.

All of Roswell's scouts get together and look at Koji.

"Orders from Fat Ass. He wants all of us to go to the human world and watch Nara. He thinks Nara may be plotting something. Now I have come up with an idea." Koji says smiling.

*****************************

The following day, Ta, Sessaru, Shin, and Nara all sit around the house in shock.

The young woman who helped Kareen enters.

"Milord. May I speak with you?" She asks kneeling before Nara.

Nara snaps back to reality.

"What is it?" Nara says.

"I am ready to accept my punishment for not joining into the fight yesterday." She says.

"It's Becky right?" Nara says.

"Correct milord." Becky says.

"Just forget about. You did what you thought was the right choice and it was. Kareen would of been more upset if she lost another friend. With your time control power you were able to help from the shadows. Now go and get something to eat and get some sleep." Nara says.

"Yes, Milord. Thank you." Becky says bowing as she leaves.

That afternoon there is a knock on the door and Nara answers it as he walks past with a sandwich.

"Milord. Forgive this intrusion but I need to speak with you and the other lords." Koji says bowing at the front door.

"Come on in." Nara says and shuts the door behind him.

"Thank you." Koji says.

"Who are you?" Sessaru asks.

"I am Koji, leader of Roswell's scouts. I have come here today to speak with you. My grandfather served you his entire life as well as my father till that day. All I ask is that you hear me out." Koji says.

"We're listening." Nara says sitting back down.

"I have information about your bodies." Koji starts.

"Koji?" Kareen says coming down the stairs with Silmeria, Lust, and Aurora.

They each give him a big hug and sit next to their lord.

"Mi'ladies. Pleasure to see you again." Koji says.

"Still with Roswell?" Lust asks.

"Not at the moment. In fact that's partly why I am here." Koji says.

"Koji is one of the best scouts for his age. He is the one that would send me word of Roswell's actions." Kareen explains.

"Yes. I may seem as an unfaithful scout however there are many factors behind it. The main one being that he doesn't respect us in any way. In fact our last orders we received from him was this." Koji says handing the piece of paper to Lust who reads it and passes it on.

"About our bodies?" Sessaru says.

"Yes. They are currently in transport at we speak. The day after tomorrow they will pass through here and arrive in Palatine, two hundred miles away. One is on a train and the other is going by semi truck. My men scouted the route and have come up with several different plans of attack for you." Koji says and spreads the map across the coffee table.

"So you think this will make me trust you? How do we know this isn't a trap set up by Roswell?" Ta says.

Koji starts laughing uncontrollably.

"Please forgive my outburst but Roswell is an idiot. He couldn't dig a hole without instructions and someone telling him constantly what to do." Koji says.

"Besides, Koji has helped us all out on several occasions." Aurora says.

"I understand your distrust but Lord Ta I have something that belongs to you and something for Lord Sessaru as well." Koji says and snaps his fingers.

Two scouts enter and set two wooden crates down.

Ta and Sessaru get up and examine the boxes. Ta is the first to open his and a wicked smile creeps across his lips. He pulls out two gauntlets and laughs demonically.

Sessaru opens his box and pulls out his Surtanryu.

The four lords sit there silently as all of this sinks in.

"Koji. I remember your grandfather. He was a great scout. And I can understand why you are betraying Roswell. However, since you are betraying your lord then there should be a punishment for your betrayal. Follow me." Nara says getting up.

They return a few minutes later and Koji leaves.

"What was that all about?" Kareen asks.

"He is running an errand for me as his punishment. Now onto more important things. Ashen, explain all this to us." Nara says.

*****************************

Sitting on a bright and sunny beach, Kogamaru, Shingi, and Shear all let out a sigh of relief.

"Amazing." Shear says.

"Why didn't we do this years ago?" Shingi asks.

"No idea." Kogamaru replies.

Several college girls walk by and smile.

"Have to admit these humans sure look better then most of the demon women at home." Kogamaru says watching them walk by.

"A lot better." Shear says.

"What are you three doing? We are here to get some action and you three have done nothing but lay in the shade." Roswell says setting his stuff down.

"We are just enjoying the sights before we sample what this beach has to offer." Shingi says.

Roswell disrobes and stands before them completely nude.

"We should be out there scoring with every human woman we can get our hands on." Roswell says.

The three of them look at Roswell and shudder.

"Its not that kind of beach." Shear says.

Roswell turns his back to them and bends over to spread his towel out.

The three of them stare in disgust.

Roswell turns back towards them and says, "Why are you guys out there yet? More for me then."

He struts over towards a group of college girls.

"I have dissected things that weren't that gross looking." Kogamaru says.

Shear being the closest, sprints to the bathroom holding back his vomit.

"Afternoon ladies." Roswell says standing before them.

They look at him and are speechless.

"Like what you see? Its all for you." Roswell says trying to be suave.

The women all pull out pepper spray and spray him in the eyes as well as his crotch.

Roswell falls and writhes in pain for nearly an hour.

Kogamaru and Shingi explode with laughter.

"How did it go, fire crotch?" Kogamaru says laughing.

"Does it look damaged to you?" Roswell asks holding out for Kogamaru to look out.

Kogamaru and Shingi sprint to the bathroom as well.
