Randomness from Enigma

Pyramidal Crystal

I fixed my laptop recently and have been attempting to write more. I’ll just be posting some random writings as they come.. ^^ I’ve been re-watching the anime and am currently on Sailor Moon S, hence the first log being on Dr Souichi Tomoe. I forgot how awesome he is =3

1. The Mad Scientist

The Mugen Academy was surrounded by the sounds of deep thunder and sharp lightning which illuminated the dark sky. Light in windows flickered often. It struck once more, lightning the entire building. Newspapers and other debris scattered across the empty street by the howling winds. The door of the main entrance slammed repeatedly as an open invitation. The student approached with caution, oblivious to the security cameras mounted on the walls. He soon entered for shelter as rain began to pound down on the alley.

The young teen glanced around nervously. The portraits of students on the walls seemed to stare from all directions and penetrate him. Down the hallway and near distance a light streamed from a cracked door, allowing shadows to dance upon the walls. Twice he had been quick to spin on his heel, glancing nervously as the thought descended upon him.

Am I being followed?

Shadows swirled around his feet and he froze momentarily. In a burst of panic he ran further down the hall for a light switch. Trembling fingers fumble as he flipped it up and down frantically. The building remained immersed in total darkness. Outside the wind continued howling, the sound resembling a laughter in his panicked mind.

Everything would soon change.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The years had been tough on him. His memories were of himself as a brilliant genetic engineer, then widowed after the death of his life. When of his greatest inventions had exploded, all were killed aside from the scientist himself. With Hotaru in his arms, he once more felt the pain of losing something he loved and treasured. Full of sorrow and misery now, he had agreed that he was willing to give up anything when a spectral voice approached him. Tomoe was then invaded by the same voice, going through his right eye, and possessing all of his body.

A seemingly mad scientist works effortlessly in his lab. It was here he could avoid public examination, iit was here where his true intentions lied. His white hair and grey eyes remained masked by the the darkness of his laboratory. The radiance of his large optical lenses and a crooked smile made his presence known. The tall figure hunches over his lab equipment, adorned in a large white labcoat. His fingers curl around the test tube with pink liquid and hold it over the burning blue flame. From the corner of his eye he spots the ever so faithful Kaorinite approach.

“Kaori, do you know what I think about all night and day?”

“The Purity Chalice,”

“What new have you brought me?

The test tube is then placed in a beaker of preheated green fluid which causes the egg to instantly increase in size. Glass shatters in that moment, and the daimon egg hovers just before his eyes. Souichi releases a cackle and lets his hands dance around the entity.

“I have found the next target,”

All too repetitive, irritation flickered within. “The pure heart will be ours!”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sound of laughter broke his thought process, the figure with long crimson hair flashing directly in front of him. The boy screamed, the sound only to be lost in the overwhelming blackness. He felt himself being drawn in, drowned in slumbering evil,

There was no escape.

2. Rubeus- Survival of the strongest

Panic struck the young warrior as he made his way through out the large prison planet of Nemesis, off in the farthest reaches of the solar system. The absence of light made it hard to see, and he often blinked the sweat away from his red eyes as he continued to run in a world of black and gray. There was no sunrise here, and the dark embrace of the dead forest was like a refuge. The smell of death and decay lingered in the air, and the trees casted sinister shadows which often played tricks on the eye. With each cool breeze upon his flesh he could hear disturbing whispers calling out to them. It was as if the forces of the most evil had set up shop here.

Rubeus found himself sweeping his gaze across the terrain as he ran, searching for a metal or any item that could serve as a weapon. He would find nothing, though, as the rogue planet was of limited resources. In the ever present sense, inescapable dread filled his heart, the beat uncontrollable and his stomach felt like it were doing somersaults. He fought hard to calm himself, inhaling air that was hard to breath. He felt breath on the back of his neck and spun around. There was nothing to be found. The sound of a spirit entered his mind.

Empty yourself of all your thoughts, all your feelings, all your worries-

He was completely isolated, and for a moment he felt frightened, an emotion he had not felt in what seemed an eternity. He needed protection. A sudden thought popped up into his head.

Is this part of some test?

He was almost convinced. It was a way to eliminate those too weak. He shook his head and kept moving, he would need to solve this mystery later. The quelching sound of steps was heard, and his pace increased. Whoever was following him was on the move, too. He found himself seeing figures lurking in every shadow, which turned out to be tree stumps and rocks when he looked closer.

His cold eyes darted around. It was safer to run, as a moving target was harder to hit, but with the unlimited darkness that surrounded him, his senses of security were evaporated. He was unsure at this point how long he had been running, but it was as if he were moving in an endless void. Rubeus was unaware that he had been surviving directly off of dark energy the past three days.

All that is left is yourself, the self that you know, the same voice returned.

Distracted, he fell once, rising shakily from his feet. He then fell once more. He forgot to scrape his boots on the soil, thus leaving a track behind. Rubeus came upon a series of rocks and began to climb them. He crawled behind once and then peered over the edge, hoping to catch glimpse of whoever was following him. A small beacon of light appeared, and he looked again with increasing desperation. A single aura radiated, illuminating the black mass of the forest.

His first instinct was to keep running, but he went against the command and held his position. Moments later, something else appeared. The aura flickered in a dark blue, and then transformed in an entity covered in shadows. The spirit had taken form, and there was an overwhelming sense of evil within it.

All that is required is focused concentration, and a bit of patience. Feel the warmth of the dark energy. Someone else is here, you know who it is.

Rubeus’ features became stoic, his eyes unreadable. His fists tightened. There were screams as he surged to his feet to face the challenge. The shadow’s eyes met his, and began to approach. The young warrior used his discipline to calm his thoughts, relaxing his body and drawing air into his lungs. His hand came up from his sides and closed together. His eyes closed as acceleration of his target increased.

In that instant a black crescent moon then appeared on his forehead.

A spark dark energy flashed within his palms, and he unleashed the new profound power at the opponent. The shadow was engulfed by a ray of dark energy similar to it’s own, and instantly perished. The voice of the spirit started to speak to him, but the words were cut off by a laugh high and shrill. His confidence was reassured now, and could feel a new calling here on Nemesis. The dark energy he felt was an amazing source of inspiration.

Lost in time he continued the journey, the large building in the near distance becoming his destination. It felt natural, as if being pulled by gravity towards it. The final steps were up a large hill, and as he drew near, he saw a group of others awaiting his arrival. Each had a black crescent moon upon their foreheads just as his own. While a feeling of relief and satisfaction overcame him from passing the test, he was also irritated to not have finished first. There was one with dark blue hair and eyes to match, and then a woman with green hair in a sleeveless black dress. The way she carried herself and looked at him annoyed the crimson haired warrior. Last was the tallest of the three, his hair white as snow. Rubeus detected a sense of superiority in this one, and was approached.

A formal greeting was offered and he took the man’s hand. His hand was squeezed, almost painful.

“Demande,”

“Rubeus,”

“Tell me, do you wish to return to the other side,”

“No, never,”

Their conversation was briefly interrupted as a group of four sisters approached. He looked over his shoulder and studied them. His gaze fell over the one with purple hair and eyes. Koan grinned and stuck out her tongue, and Rubeus responded with a smirk. All of them began to began to talk amongst each other until the Wiseman appeared before them. He was hooded in a dark purple and black cloak. He was the only one who disturbed Rubeus, for the way he spoke was haunting. All of their heads turned in sync to their new leader and listened intently.

“Very well, you have all passed the test. Let us began our course for the destruction of Crystal Tokyo,”
