Event: Edolas - Double Trouble [Shadow] (Read 885 times)

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus seemed to have a bit more free time on his hands today than he knew what to do with so he found himself roaming the town. There hadn't been any real mission for him to pick up and the work he usually did at the port was all taken care of, so he literally had nothing but time on his hands. Nexus slipped his hands into his jacket pocket looking up at the sky, it was clear and blue with a nice breeze going through. So he head great weather, free time and nothing at all to do what were the chances. He let out a slight sigh and continued walking through the two watching all the people running around from shop to shop and to the different ships that were pulling into post. Nexus shrugged to himself as he looked around he might as well head down there and at least enjoy the view of the ships coming and going.

Nexus made his way to the port jumping out of the way of one of the workers racing by something about running late the only thing Nexus managed to catch. Nexus just shook his head and laugh lightly to himself, even if he wasn't busy this place still was that was for sure. He had made his way to the bridge that overlooked the docks and decided that that was as good a place as ever to set up camp so to speak. Nexus leaned against the rail of the bridge then in one quick movement he pulled himself up swing his legs around and sat on the rail looking out at the ships. From where he was he could see just about all the ships coming and going from place to place.

As odd as it was he found the sight rather relaxing and he felt himself letting his guards down and just enjoying the view for what it was. He sometimes picked out different workers that he knew and had worked with at one time or another. he rocked back and forth on the edge of the railing and closed his eyes as he enjoyed the breeze that had just blown through. He was tilting backward again when he felt his head hit something, it wasn't hard however and the sudden sensation threw him off. He slipped in his rocking and almost fell forward off the bridge the only words escaping was "Oh shit."

[Shadow]

This was the first ever mission that Shadow actually managed to finish by herself. Until now her shyness wouldn’t even let her get out of the safety that the fairy tail guild had, but slowly she found enough courage to go out. At first she went into missions with either the old guild master that saved her, so she could train in order to become a rune knight, or with the other two members she knows in that guild. But she didn’t like that, even if she enjoyed spending time with those three, she felt more like a bother, every time asking them to help her when she needs to go on a mission to get some money.

That’s why today was the day when she decided to go out by herself, it was a hard decision and it took her some time, but she managed to leave the guild by herself, and even go as far as port hargeon, it was a great achievement for her and it made her proud. But the problem was that with this mission she had to interact with others, and that was very hard. She couldn’t say even a single word, but somehow the workers here managed to help her and get the job done.

She was enjoying this world more and more, and slowly was regaining the knowledge that she once had. Slowly everything would return back to normal and maybe she won’t be the shy and clueless girl anymore. But she still has many things to learn.

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus let out a slight grunt as he hung onto the railing so that he didn't fall over the side. It was still a long fall to the bottom, and even though he'd probably be able to walk away from it alive he wouldn't be uninjured and he wasn't looking forward to being bruised up. Nexus pulled himself up the side of the railing looking around for the person that had bumped him. He called out to no one in particular "You know you could have killed me, a little help wouldn't have killed you." As he made his way back over the railing onto the safety of the bridge leaning against it looking up at the sky. Well that wasn't how he had expecting his day to start out, but at least he wasn't bored at the moment.

Nexus shot himself forward to his feet looked around at the people a few whom were staring at him as if he was a nut. He didn't really care about that, sometimes he thought he was a bit crazy himself so it wasn't a big deal. He yawned his hand quickly moving to his mouth to cover it as he started to walk along the bridge. He might not have minded the people thinking that he had a screw loose but he didn't like the staring so much. He could care less what they thought of him because he didn't know them from the next person and everyone had their own opinions about those around them, but no one liked to be stared out.

Nexus slipped his hands into his jacket pocket and started walking pass the wandering eyes. He could have been rude and called them out on the staring thing but there really was no point in going that. If anything it was likely to make them all stare more. So he would just have to more to a different place in order to continue his relaxing day. He was looking downward trying to avoid more people taking notice of him and almost missed the two kids that came running through playing with each other. Nexus twisted out of the way to avoid the speed demons but didn't have complete balance when he did. He felt himself stumble and bump into someone. He quickly turned to them "Um... sorry about that, was trying to avoid running in the the kids, and well seems I couldn't avoid everyone."

[Shadow]

Okay so walking around here was taking too much for Shadow and someone else in that body except her wanted to go as fast as possible back home, and it didn’t want to waste any more time, so it was time for it to take control of the body. Making Shadow feel like she wants to sleep was an easy thing, and she was used to sleep anywhere, means that she won’t try to fight the feeling of falling asleep. Then it happened, Shadow was feeling very sleepy so that’s why she decided to sit on a box that was there and she closes her eyes for a bit.

After a few seconds from the moment that Shadow closed her eyes they opened again, but colors were changed. Now the right one had everything the color of abyss black, the sclera, iris and pupil of the right eye turned to the normal abyss black color that the left one has. And now the usual black left eye she has was now yellow in color. Now the curse was in control of the body and Shadow was sleeping for the moment. Maybe she would wake up when they either get to AJ or back to the guild. At the moment there were only two people that the curse trusted enough to let Shadow out and the curse to rest. And none of those two people were around here.

”Now to hurry home, I don’t want to worry for Shadow’s safety too much, I can’t sleep.” That wasn’t a worry because the curse cared for her. No, the curse didn’t care at all what happens to Shadow. All it wanted was that the body doesn’t get hurt, since soon it would belong to the curse. But not yet, the curse needs to get stronger and after that it would take control of Shadow’s weak mind.

But the train of thoughts the curse had at the moment was stopped when someone bumped into it. He caught the person and then pushed it back, didn’t even pay attention to the apology. ”Hey fucker, be more careful next time. You might lose your legs.”

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus knew he had bumped someone but he wasn't expecting the reaction that he had gotten from them. He felt the push back and stumbled away from them blinking as he turned to face the people he had bumped. Nexus looked at the girl just as she made her comment and a peg of annoyance ran through him. Sure he had bumped her but it wasn't like he had done it on purpose, and he had even apologized so what the hell was her problem. "Look it was an accident alright, I apologized so get your panties out your ass and calm down will you." Nexus let out a slight sigh, really what was it with people these days, he had just wanted to enjoy his day without any issues and it seemed that he had run into one regardless.

Nexus took the moment to really look at the girl now, she seemed pretty odd for one but he couldn't really talk there. However there was one think that stood out about her more than anything else, it was her eyes. She had one eye that was a completely different color than the other, and it gave him a pretty odd feeling but he shook it off. Everyone had something weird about them so he shouldn't be that surprised by it but staring at that eye almost made him feel like it could pull him into an abyss and that was saying something because he was no stranger to the darkness. He blinked a few times shaking his head and recovering his senses as he once again and letting out a breath.

There were many people going by a few of them having stopped to watch the scene unfold. Nexus sighed he really hoped that this didn't look like some odd couple arguing in the middle of the street. Nexus really didn't want or need this stress today he just wanted to have a relaxing day off with no trouble. "Look I don't know what your problem is or if you just happen to wake up on the wrong side of the bed today but don't take that crap out on me. I've said sorry for bumping into you, you can either take that or screw yourself. Now if you have nothing more to say I'll be on my way."

[Shadow]

There was one thing that the curse hated, and that was when someone wasn’t talking nice to it, it made the curse very angry, and when that happened it always ended in a fight. That’s why the curse pointed with a finger at him. ”I don’t care if you apologized or not, I don’t like people bumping into me. And the words “screw yourself” just made your life harder, you know have to face me and I have to tell you that I don’t think you will end up alive after this fight.” The curse didn’t really care if it made Shadow look like a bad girl, or that it would get her in danger.

The curse just wanted to make this boy pay because it didn’t show the respect that the curse deserved. It thought of itself so high that in order for the curse to actually forgive the boy, he would have had to get on his knees and apologize, and maybe them it would have let Nexus kiss Shadow’s feet. But otherwise the curse was not going to forgive this guy and it would do its best to leave him in a horrible state.

”So any last words you fucker? If you get on your knees right now and apologize while kissing my feet, maybe I won’t kill you.” But before the guy could say anything the curse fired a three inch bullet made out of darkness towards his stomach. Moving at a speed of 40 mph and the short distance between them made it very hard to dodge.

[Nexus Martel]

All Nexus had wanted to do was enjoy his day off, relax maybe enjoy the company of a nice girl or something but know this is what he was give. He just couldn't catch a break he had to have the worse luck in the world and of course the lady in front of him could just let it go. No she couldn't just calm down and work things out nicely like a normal person would have but he never got the normal ones even more so when it came to women. He let out a slight sigh all he really wanted to do was walk away, just walk away and go find himself a place where he wouldn't have to put up with all the crazy. He was starting to wonder if it was that time of mouth for her, that could be the case he had heard that could make women crazy.

"You know thanks you you my whole day is going to crap, blah blah blah you'll kill me blah blah blah. I really don't care or have the time to deal with crazy ok. I'm just trying to enjoy my day off, and here I am suck dealing with you. Why much I have the crappiest luck in the world. Since I don't really feel like fighting you right now, how about we both walk away as if this never happened. You can go and get laid or something.....seems you might need that and I can go about my day. How does that sound huh." Nexus watched her and looked her over the cold expression hadn't left her eyes so just like he had thought this wasn't going to wrap up nicely.

He sighed as he listened to her terms what she wanted him to do for all of this to be done with, sad to say he wasn't about to kiss anyone's foot. So she could go dress up in skin tight leather and take her dom act someplace else. "Look I'm really not-" he cut his sentence short as he felt the raising of the darkness around him and it wasn't him that was calling it. He barely managed to summon the power and summon his dark scales armor over him as the bullets hit him in the gut. Even wit the armor he felt the blows them sending him flying back as the pain shot through him. He didn't even know how or want it was he was so dazed all he knew was he had hit something...soft and it had stopped his flying.

He managed to open his eyes looking up to see just what it was that he had hit reaching up to rub his head he heard the squeal. He blinked hurting all over as he finally noticed the face the same one that had just attacked him was who he was laying on now. He wanted to leap up but it hurt to move and the girl, the that had just attacked him was blushing now. He didn't understand what was going on as she said "Are you alright, what happened to you you're all beat up." Nexus wanted to laugh like this had to be some sick and twisted joke, just what the hell was wrong with this girl.

[Shadow]

This guy wouldn’t stop at all, he just continued to talk and say all kind of things that would only anger Shadow even more. Well this guy would be soon out of luck since the bullet as fired and it made contact, sending him a few feet away from his original position. During that time a smirk of satisfaction could be seen on Shadow’s face, the face that was at the moment controlled by the curse. It seems that the curse enjoyed making others suffer, and lucky for it that there was nobody around to interfere and save this boy from his imminent death.

If the curse wasn’t in control of the body the moment Nexus bumped into it, Shadow would have spent a few minutes apologizing for being in Nexus’s way, but it wasn’t Shadow in control now. It was the curse that enjoyed doing bad things, and because of that making Shadow look bad. Who knows, maybe if Shadow would have met this boy, they would have been friends and just a normal meeting between two strangers. It would have been hard for them to be friends since Shadow barely reacts to people who talk to her; she just stays there silent and wonders what she should do.

Getting back to the boy that was now on the ground, the curse noticed that he was on a girl, that gave him the perfect excuse to attack him a few more times until he won’t be able to walk anymore and surrender to the greatness of the curse. ”So what? Now you are attacking another girl? You piece of shit!” As that sentence was finished the curse aimed with a kick at the boy’s ribs from his left side. The curse still didn’t notice how the girl that he was sitting on looked like.

[Nexus Martel]

Even now as he lay there the girl underneath him asking him what was wrong and how he had gotten the wounds he wondered if she was crazy. First she was cursing and attacking him then she was asking him if everything was alright, he really did run into a crazy one that was for sure. He let out a slight groan as he tried to move again, the was another squeal and as he manage to open his eyes to look he saw that she was even redder now than before. The hell was going on here it just didn't make any sense at all, she was like a different person than the one that had attacked him and sent him flying just a few moments ago. "You know you really are weird, first your beat me up then ask me how I got be up. Is this your idea of some kind of weird game or something?"

It was just as Nexus started to sit up his head pounded that he felt hands stop him from moving "I don't know who did this to you but surely it wasn't me, however you can't move now you need to see a doctor and-." She didn't finish her sentence something had stopped her short but Nexus wasn't sure what and at the moment couldn't be bothered to care either. He closed his eyes the pain starting to get to him, so what if she wanted to pretend that she hadn't done anything to him. Nexus knew the truth and these wounds hadn't made themselves, yea he had a real crazy one on his hands with her he no longer doubted that. Nexus couldn't be bother to fight against her stopping him from moving this time however it hurt to much instead his shifted a bit his head still resting against something soft.

"Look you can say what you want I know-" his words were interrupted by her again, and this time she sounded like the anger person that he had met at first. Damn this girl went through more mood swings then a little bit, she really needed to see someone about that. He started to open his mouth to reply but then pain shot through his side and all works were replaced with a grunt of pain and any air that was left in his lungs. She really was crazy that was for sure "What is wrong with you, can't you see that he is hurt are you mad." It seemed someone was trying to help him, he was glad for it but he hoped they could fight cause this girl was nuts and he had the feeling nothing short of a good slap would stop her.

He managed to open his eyes and he must have been more hurt than he had thought he was. He was seeing double it seemed, just great this day really sucked.

[Shadow]

The fuck is this? That’s what the curse wondered right now, who the fuck was this girl and why was she looking exactly like Shadow’s body? It couldn’t be possible for someone to look the same, the curse made this body look how it likes it the most, hence the big chest that Shadow has and of course the curves. But that was of no importance right now, someone looked exactly like Shadow and the curse had to take care of that person, beat that person until their face looks different, or even kill that person, depends on how much this girl fights back, and if the other guy interferes, the curse would just take care of him too.

A shadow arm appeared from Shadow’s body and grabbed the girl by the hair pulling her closer; the curse needed her to be close so it can stomp on her face, which was the easiest way to do this. Of course the girl was struggling to set herself free, to take the arm out of her hair, but it was futile, the hand was strong enough to hold her, and while the arm holds the girl, the curse can start hitting the girl.

Everything started simple enough, first the curse went with kicking her arm a few times, the girl was screaming but it seems that nobody was around here at this time. After that some stomps followed, of course the target of the stomps was the same arm that was kicked until now, the curse wanted to make sure that the girl won’t be able to use her arm for a long time, maybe do the same to the other arm or simply throw her in the ocean, she can’t possibly swim with a ruined arm, and she would surely drown.

[Nexus Martel]

For the moment Nexus was in to much pain to understand or even care what was going on right then and there. That was until he felt something shift from underneath him and then head the scream that followed it. He forces his eyes open and through slightly blurred vision he was able to make out what seemed like well two of the same girl, one being pulled and one doing the pulling. Nexus wasn't sure what was going on and was starting to think that he had been hit a lot harder than he had thought he was. He managed to shift himself a bit so that he could get a better look at the two girls just as the one being pulled reached the other one.

Nexus was wondering if the two girls were twins of something and if so he had a feeling that this just got doubly bad for him. Then the one being pulled screamed out "Let go of me you crazy whore...let me go Now." She was kicking and swinging her arms out. Well there was one good thing about this at least it seemed that both of them weren't crazy. Then the other girl started to hit her beating on her arm and all that filled the air was screams. The girl on the ground tried to shift to defend herself but it didn't seemed to be doing her much good right then. Nexus had to do something and fast of the good twin would end up all beat up.

He focuses his mind and his arms and legs started to take on a ghost like appearance now. he pulled his leg back and kicked out his leg seeming to stretch as he went to kick the evil twin in the face. He called out to the good one "You need to fight back that girl is crazy." The good twin was starting to look bruised up as she raised her other hand sliding it into her shirt cleavage and pulled out something Nexus couldn't really see from where he was. There was the sound of something that seemed to click as she fired three shots at the evil twin. "I said let go of me you bitch."

[Shadow]

Seems that this girl still had the courage to talk back after all that the curse was doing to her, and not only that, but the guy even managed to turn his leg into a shadow and attack Shadow’s body with it. This was turning out to be more fun than the curse actually expected, it was time for the curse to finish them both and then go back home, and this is enough action for today. Now it would just go home after all the is finished and would enjoy a nice long sleep until it would come back out again. When that could happen, nobody knows, so until them Shadow would just take the blame for all that happened today if anyone finds out.

Now going back to the two attackers, there was only one way to block them both at the same time, and that way would even show the powers that the curse has, well more likely the power that Shadow’s body received after being cursed by Zeref. It should be enough to take care of both of them, or maybe the curse could have some fun and take this guy’s leg and eat it, that was a possibility too. But until the curse would do that, first it covered the body in darkness so both attacks would be blocked.

Now the next thing on the list was to turn to stomp on the girl’s chest right over her solar plexus and to turn to that guy. Gathering magic in the chest, the curse was ready to fire a roar at the guy from point blank. After finishing the gather of energy, which took less than a second, it looked more like the curse was taking a deep breath. After that the curse let out the god slayer roar towards the guy, let’s see if he was fast enough to dodge it.

[Nexus Martel]

Nexus was starting to feel even more tired and drained, this just wasn't his day. Why did he have to be caught in the middle of an evil twin fight. All he had wanted to do was enjoy his day off that was it now he was hurt, dealing with a psycho and having to watch the only person that had tried to help him get hurt as well. Nexus had to do something and he had to do it quick or neither of them would make it out of there alive. Nexus had to focus he had to clear his head and think fast before it was all over.

He had felt his foot connect with the evil twin but it didn't even seem to slow her down at all. Nexus was already in fight or flight mode and the flight was winning at this moment. Once he heard the good twin scream out in pain as psycho stomped on her chest Nexus had to move. he reached out his arm extending and grabbed the good twin while the evil one was still gathering her darkness. Nexus pulled her to him and then waited and at the right moment faded into the shadows with the power he could gather pulling the good twin with him escaping. He exited another shadow in an alley away from the crazy one with a groan.

"I think that we are safe for the moment, but I don't know if she will find us again. You really have a crazy twin there, I take it you two aren't very close the way she attacked you." Nexus tried to get up and move but was into much pain. He looked over at the good twin, she seemed to be alive even if as beaten up as he was. "Thanks for trying to help anyway" The girl turned to him then "Someone had to you are right she is crazy, and we aren't twins...this is the first time I've seen her well without looking in the mirror anyway." She tried to smile then but Nexus could tell she was in as much plan as he was, for now all they could do was try and hide out and hope the evil twin gave up.

[Shadow]

That guy actually managed to save the girl that the curse copied the appearance of. That wasn’t something so nice for Nexus to do; the curse was having a talk with the girl about the dangers of walking alone like that, unprotected and attacking someone else. The curse was showing her what could happen if someone decided to attack her and that new guy just decided to have no manners and interrupt the curse from doing so. Now the curse had to find them both and take care of them, otherwise something bad might happen if the curse doesn’t teach the girl a lesson, the last lesson of her life.

Now, they managed to disappear from the curse’s sight using the shadows, and they thought that they could actually escape from the curse, but they didn’t know that this body, since it made contact with Zeref, has received god slaying powers. And like a bad luck for the guy that the curse was chasing, the god slaying powers the body received was those of the shadows. So it could easily sense where they teleported just by sensing the shadows and any anomaly that happens in them. Rushing towards that place the curse would finish this once and for all.

As soon as Nexus and the other girl were in sight the curse fired he darkness bullets again towards Nexus, hoping that they would knock him out, would be bad if they killed him, but the curse didn’t want him to interfere anymore. After the curse took care of the guy, then it would be the girl’s turn.

[Nexus Martel]

A moment of rest that was what Nexus needed right now and what he was trying to get. The both of them were hurting right now and moving wasn't really an option for them. The only thing that he could do was hope the the crazy twin that wasn't really a twin it seemed decided to leave them be and got bored with them. There wasn't anything around that he could eat to regain his strength so that he could fight her. It didn't help that their powers seemed to be the same, though he was pretty sure that she wasn't trained by the dame dragon that he was. For now anyway they were safe and Nexus figured it was best to try and learn a bit more this two girls it might help him somehow.

"You say that you two have never meet, but that's kind of hard to believe with you two looking completely alike. What are the chances that you wouldn't know each other or be related, maybe twins split at birth or-" Nexus stopped his questions right then and there as he felt the moment in the shadows. He cursed under his breath the evil twins did have the same power as he and she was on her way after the. Nexus knew that they didn't have much time to move if they had any time at all. He turned to the good twin "We have too-."

No time that was what they had, because she was there and all Nexus could to was roll over on top of the good twin and gather the last be of energy he had to summon the dark scales armor over his back as the bullets hit him. The combination of using the last of his energy and the blows he took caused the darkness to close from the corner of his eyes. The last thing he remembered was the feared look on the good twins face as he whispered "Sorry..." It was then that the good twin was face with the evil twin as she once again pulled her gun. She was firing randomly in her evil twins direction screaming "Why won't you just leave us the hell alone."
