Sceldrant's Comet

by Michael Rogers

Twortz: "How-?" *She stumbled back, holding her nose in pain.* "You attacked, so how can you still avoid my technique?!"

  Quintess: "My ability isn't restricted to defence or offence, I'm able to do both-"

  Synthoss: "My, sister." *She spoke with a smile and stood behind Lezard, holding the boy under one arm and Rachael by the hair on the ground.*

  Lezard: (Razzypoo and.. Kid!..)

  Twortz: *She looked at Synthoss, causing her to glance at Quintess.* (They're twins?)

  Synthoss: *She glanced at Twortz, chuckling at her large size.* "Why is she still up? Fufufu."

  Quintess: "Looking at this thing at a glance. You wouldn't expect her to be a Score User."

  Twortz: (A Score User?)

  Boy: *He looked up, staring at Twortz in confusion.* (If she's a Score User, why doesn't she ask this city for help? It'll respond to her-)

  Synthoss: "Has she materialised her weapon?"

  Quintess: "I'm not sure.. That cooking utensil doesn't utilise music well."

  Lezard: (How foolish of me, she's a Score User!-)

  Quintess: "And over there-" *She pointed her finger at Lezard without taking her eyes off Twortz.* "Uses the Radiatons."

  Synthoss: "Wow, the Consultants will be pleased."

  Quintess: "Maybe they'll send us on more missions together?"

  Boy: (Speak up, Karol! Sp-Speak up!-) "I-If you're a Score User, you can disrupt any kind of Astragons based teckneek!-"

  Quintess: "Silence him!"

  Synthoss: *She casually raised her knee, kicking the boy in the face.* "Fufufu."

  Lezard: (He's right.. The very few Score Users can obtain the ability to disrupt the Astragons in the air, even negating the ability to flashstep... But Twortz, she's too inexperienced-)

  Twortz: (I have to try-) "Sonic Roar."

  Synthoss: "Finish her off already."

  Quintess: *She sprinted towards Twortz.* "AQUA LIQUID"

  *Just as Twortz was about to scream out a shock wave, a wave of water suddenly slapped her across the side, causing her to stagger to one side.*

  Quintess: (Excellent-) *She ran into striking distance, firmly holding onto her blue coloured whip.*

  Twortz: *She suddenly dropped on all fours, causing Quintess to trip over her body.* (I can't-)

  Quintess: *She fell face-first onto the ground, causing Synthoss to chuckle.* "Why did you-?" *She looked over her shoulder, watching Twortz stare at the ground.* ".. Given up?"

  Lezard: (She may not have Radiatons, but people who use Remenistal through scores or dances can tap into Radiaton based Remenistal...)

  Twortz: *She watched the water drip onto the courtyard's cemented floor with a sad-filled face.* (Should I just give up? Will I ever wake up or get back to Earth.. Why must I fight people I don't know?)

  Quintess: "Fufufu." *She chuckled and slowly stood back up, snapping the blue whip by her side.* "I'll ensure it ends quickly."

  Rachael: "T-Twortz! You're never a quitter! You taught me that!" *She shouted with one eye opened, causing Synthoss to gasp in disbelief.*

  Synthoss: "When-?! How are you awake?!"

  Rachael: "Twortz! Remember what happened to the only casualty!"

  Twortz: (Never give up? Casualty?) *Rachael's words echoed in her mind, triggering a flashback.*

  ----------

  *Twortz worked with several young teenagers on the front counter, listening to the fry buzzers in the background.*

  Twortz: *She held a large takeaway bag, watching a young girl serve behind the counter with a smile.* "You're doing fine-"

  Cashier: *She sighed with a stutter, slowly shaking her head.* "I can't-"

  Twortz: "I mean it-"

  Cashier: *She slowly nodded her head, taking a slow deep breath.* "OK, I can..."

  Twortz: (She's been doing great.. But today she's been a little off.. She's due for a promotion because she hasn't given up. She just needs to learn front counter and she'll be set-)

  Cashier: "Welcome to Fast Food Enterprise, how can I help you?"

  Customer: "Yeah, by taking my order?" *He smirked, causing his young friend to snicker.*

  Cashier: "A-Ah, how can I take your order?"

  Customer: "Nicely?"

  Cashier: "Ah..?" *She suddenly trembled, as if she was overwhelmed with emotion.*

  Twortz: "Excuse me! Is there a problem here?" *She spoke in a stern professional-like manner.*

  Customer: "Na, we're just trying to order, but this dumb bimbo won't help-"

  Cashier: "I can't-" *She suddenly walked away from the counter, trying to hold back her tears.*

  Twortz: "Ahem." *She walked up to the register, as if she was going to take the order instead.*

  Customer: "That's better, can I get a classic meal?"

  Twortz: "No.."

  Customer: "What-?"

  Twortz: "Get out." *She smiled and casually stepped to the side, quickly walking after the cashier.* "Where are you going?"

  Cashier: "I'm leaving. I can't do this anymore. I tried my best for so long-"

  Twortz: "Excuse me?"

  Cashier: "I keep getting abused at home, I have no friends in this town!-, nobody likes a new person!"

  Twortz: "Don't be ridiculous! You're amazing! And I can always find you a place to stay-"

  Cashier: "I give up-" *She started to cry and ran out of the store, causing Twortz to quickly waddle out after her.*

  Twortz: "Please, think about this-"

  Cashier: "Thank you for everything you've-"

  *A car turned around the corner, suddenly hitting the cashier onto the pavement.*

  Twortz: "No!-"

  Driver: *He quickly stepped out of the car.* "What was she doing running across a blind spot like that?!"

  ----------

  Twortz: (She died on the spot... She wouldn't have, if she didn't quit!-) *She grunted in thought, as she intensely stared at the ground with widening eyes.*

  Quintess: *She raised the whip, readying to attack the back of Twortz's head.* (I will slice her head off-)

  Twortz: "I am no quitter! She shouted with an echoing voice."

  Quintess: "Looks like you already have-"

  Twortz: *She quickly grabbed the frying pan and swayed it behind her.* "Sonic Rush."

  Quintess: "Really-" *She spoke with a calm voice, watching a scattered shock wave blow through her.*

  Twortz: "I am no quitter!" *She slowly stood up.*

  Quintess: "I will slip right through all your attacks and-"

  Twortz: "Sphere of Might." *She jumped on the spot and a visible sphere-like shock wave expanded from her feet, blasting Quintess back.*

  Synthoss: "What?" *She whispered on her breath in shock.*

  Quintess: "How-?" *She slid on her feet and came to a stop.*

  Lezard: (Her Sonic Rush and Sphere of Might must use different Astral frequencies?)

  Quintess: "I've been relying on my ability too much in this fight.." *She smirked and snapped the whip, causing Lezard to wail in fear.* "Now I will take you down with brute force."

  Twortz: *She faced Quintess and raised the frying pan, standing in a battle-ready pose.* "I'll show you the fruition of hard work."

  Rachael: *She ran up to Twortz and stared at Quintess, raising her fists.* "I'm slightly the opposite, work hard, play harder!"

  Twortz: *She glanced by her side, silently staring at Rachael.* "..."

  Quintess: "Synthoss, letting your captured prisoners run free like that?"

  Synthoss: "I don't understand, I drained all her Neurons?"

  Quintess: "You must have miss judged, she would almost be dead."

  Synthoss: "Exactly."

  Twortz: (Almost be dead?)

  Rachael: "I certainly don't feel it!-" *She raised her foot and kicked the ground, causing two dagger shaped rocks to burst out of the ground.*

  Lezard: (A new Remenistal?)

  Rachael: "Piercing Land." *She watched the two rocks spiral in mid-air, allowing her to catch them before they descended.*

 
; Synthoss: "She may not look it, but her ground-based attacks have a lot of force behind them."

  Quintess: (I'll slip through her ground-based attacks and dodge the sound altering attacks, waiting for a chance to kill them in one hit-)

  Rachael: *She sprinted towards Quintess and stepped into striking distance, raising a dagger.* "Herh-"

  *Rachael punched across Quintess' face, attempting to slice the dagger past her.*

  Quintess: *She watched Rachael's rock made dagger slice through her head.* "Missed-"

  Twortz: "Sonic Rush." *She swayed her frying pan down, waving a scattered shock wave towards Quintess.*

  Quintess: *She quickly backflipped to the side, avoiding the shock wave's range.* "Fufufu-"

  Rachael: "Rock Pillar." *She waved her arm up, causing a rock pillar to erupt behind Quintess.*

  Twortz: *She smirked and inhaled deeply, holding her breath.* "Sonic Roar." *She screamed out a swirling shock wave directly towards Quintess.*

  Quintess: "Fufu-" *She suddenly slipped backwards, stepping through the pillar behind her.*

  Twortz: (Just as I hoped-)

  Quintess: "No matter how much you try-"

  *The shock wave hit the rock pillar, exploding shards of rock into Quintess' face.*

  Quintess: "Argh?!"

  Synthoss: "Sister?"

  Rachael: *She ran into striking distance and kicked Quintess in the stomach.* "Hah!" *She spun around, slicing across Quintess' face.*

  Quintess: "You dirty lamp!" *She swayed back and flicked the whip upwards, slapping it under Rachael's chin.*

  Lezard: "Razzypoo!"

  Twortz: *She waddled towards Quintess and lined herself up, holding a deep breath.* "Sonic Roar."

  Rachael: *She held her chin in pain, watching a swirling shock wave slip right through Quintess.* (Twortz and I unintentionally work really well together.. It must've been all those busy times at Fast Food Enterprise-)

  *Rachael tensed her arm and swayed it up, blasting a rock pillar up from the ground.*

  Quintess: *She gasped, as the rock pillar smashed into the side of her shoulder.* "Tssk-"

  Synthoss: (I can't risk letting this boy go.. I can't help you, sister.)

  Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION"

  *Light glowed under Rachael's chin and queued it to start rapidly healing, causing it to stop its bleeding.*

  Rachael: "Thanks, Lezard!-"

  Quintess: "AQUA LIQUID" *She shouted with an echoing voice and swayed her arm across Twortz.*

  Twortz: *She had a flashback of the water.* "Sphere of Might."

  *Twortz hopped on the spot and a visible sphere-like shock wave expanded from her feet, violently splashing the materialising water back.*

  Rachael: *She shook her head and jumped towards Quintess, raising her arm.* "Take this-"

  Quintess: *She swayed to the side and flicked the whip, smacking the two daggers out from Rachael's hands.* "Fufufu-"

  Rachael: *She leant forward, quickly jabbing a fist towards Quintess' face.* "Hah!-"

  Quintess: *She grabbed Rachael's fist and spun around, throwing her to the side.* "Double Smack."

  Rachael: *She turned around to face Quintess.* "Rock Pill-"

  *Quintess slightly tilted her wrists, causing the end of the whip to slap Rachael twice in a slithering-like manner.*

  Rachael: (Ouch-) *She stumbled back, touching her cheeks.*

  Quintess: (They fight well together..) *She snapped her blue whip back to her side, glancing at Rachael and Twortz.*

  Lezard: "Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION"

  *Light glowed in the fresh cuts on Rachael's face, queuing it to start rapidly healing.*

  Quintess: (The Radiaton User keeps healing her!)

  Rachael: "Piercing Land." *She kicked the ground, causing two dagger shaped rocks to erupt into the air.*

  Quintess: *She looked to the side, watching Twortz line herself up.* (Now that he's here-) *She smirked to herself and looked back in front, noticing Rachael holding the dagger shaped rocks in determination.*

  Rachael: "Retreat now, and no more harm will come to you."

  Twortz: "Retreat? We must kill the seeds now, before they blossom into a threat later on-"

  Rachael: "Unacceptable!"

  Twortz: "..."

  Quintess: "The fat one has a good mind frame.. You could've been an excellent warrior-"

  ?????: "What's happening here?"

  Lezard: "A very large man with short brown hair with a very obvious double chin flashstepped behind Razzypoo. And he's wearing the same tight red and black leather clothes.. Yucky..."

  Synthoss: "Tyson."

  Rachael: (There's another one-) *She observed Tyson and ignored the rolls of fat around his stretched out leather, noticing a green whip hanging off his thigh.*

  Tyson: *He smirked and cupped his hands, causing a spiralling green glyph to materialise in front of him.* "FLURRY STYX" *He pushed forward, blasting a condensed ball of wind at Rachael.*

  Rachael: "Ah-?" *The ball of wind hit her, suddenly expanding into a swirl of air.*

  Lezard: (Fast-) *He watched the air and Rachael move in slow motion.*

  *The wind suddenly pulsed and blasted Rachael across the ground, causing her to squeal in pain.*

  Twortz: "Sonic Rush." *She swayed the frying pan towards Tyson, blowing a scattered shock wave towards him.*

  Tyson: *He waited for the shock wave and flared his nose in concentration, causing the scattered shock wave to swirl around him.* "..."

  Lezard: (The shock wave moved itself around him?! It would've been a direct hit-)

  Tyson: *He nudged his head forward, blasting the shock wave back towards Twortz.* "..."

  Twortz: "Impossible!-" *She spoke on her breath and attempted to waddle out of the way, before being blasted onto her back by her own shock wave.*

  Tyson: "Quintess, drain their Neurons and we'll be on our way."

  Quintess: "Yeah." *She snapped her whip and her body glowed a shade of blue, causing an orange aura to swirl around the whip.* "Neuronic-"
