Mia's Way To Keep Sage
Co-written by Youkai Fire Fox
CH. 5
Back at the Koji's mansion. Rowen is sprawled over the
couch like a dead corpse, flipping through channels lazily. He comes
upon a breaking news report that catches his attention immediately. Jolting
like thunder he bangs his leg on the coffee table, fumbling backwards, he
lands head first in the sofa. His legs are sticking up in the air and his head
is between the cushions.
ROWEN: CRAP, THAT'S GOANNA LEAVE A MARK! HEY, LOOK, I FOUND MONEY! HE ARISES TO HIS FEET, SLIPPING THE COINS IN HIS POCKET. HE TAKES A DEEP BREATH IN.
ROWEN: MIA! CYE! RYO! HIPPO...AWW?... I MEAN KENTO! QUICK!
MIA, RYO AND CYE ENTER THE ROOM, HOLDING THEIR HANDS TO THEIR EARS. KENTO EMERGES FROM THE KITCHEN COVERED IN MUSTARD. HE OBVIOUSLY WAS TRYING TO MAKE A SANDWICH, BUT FAILED DURING THE PROCESS.
ROWEN LOOKS AT KENTO CONFUSED, BUT DOESN'T WANT TO ASK.
MIA: WHAT IS IT?
SHE BANGS HER EARS HAS IF THERE WERE WATER IN THEM.
KENTO: I THINK I'M DEAF? HE LOOKS TOWARD THE TELEVISION.
KENTO: LOOK WHAT'S ON THE NEWS.
ROWEN: NO DUH!
ON THE NEWS. . .
THE REPORTER IS A VERY SEDUCTIVE BLOND FEMALE WITH SEA GREEN EYES. SHE JUST HAD PLASTIC SURGERY, SO HER FACE IS A LITTLE RED AND TIGHT.
REPORTER: *tries licks lips* SIGHTINGS TODAY REPORT A HUGE FLYING SAUCER NEAR TOKYO. PEOPLE CLAIM THAT THE FLYING SAUCER IS PLANNING TO BATTLE ON EARTH. *looks over report* WHAT?! HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT? WHAT DID THEY DO, READ THEIR MINDS? WAIT I KNOW, THE GUYS IN THE SAUCER HAD A BIG PARTY AND TOLD THEM TO COME OVER, RIGHT? COME ON PEOPLE, I'M A REPORTER, NOT A TALK SHOW HOST. *her face tightens up*
CAMERA MAN: UH...LADY? YOU'RE STILL ON THE AIR. *teardrop*
REPORTER: WHAT?! OH, YEAH. AND UM. . .THE MILITARY OFFICIALS TRY TO SHOOT IT DOWN, BUT THE SAUCER WAS TO QUICK TO HIT. *eyes flare up* WELL, NO DUH, YOU IDIOTS! WHAT DID YOU EXPECT, IT'S A FREAKIN FLYING SAUCER. IT'S NOT GOANNA SIT DOWN FOR YA, WHILE YOU CHEW YOUR TOBACCO. *throws papers in the air* WE'RE DOOMED, WERE ALL GOANNA DIE! *startz tocry, but face is too tight, so it looks like she is choking* MORE ON THIS PHENOMENON, BUT FIRST HERE'S MY EX-, WHO FORGOT OUR DATE AND LEFT ME STANDING AT A CHEEP RESTAURANT, JOHNNY! HE DOES THE SPORTS, BUT HE SUCKS AT IT!
BACK IN AT THE HOUSE. . .
RYO: OKAY, THAT WAS WEIRD. *tear drops* WELL ANY WAY,
I GUESS THAT'S OUR DESTINATION, TOKYO.
CYE: NO, YOU THINK? *sighs* *mumbles to himself* I'm too old for this crap! *clears throat* SO, DO YOU THINK SAGE WILL BE FIGHTING AGAINST US?
ROWEN: MAYBE, I HOPE NOT. BUT RIGHT NOW, I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE DISAPPEARANCE OF PEOPLE AROUND JAPAN. LIKE SOUTH OF TOKYO IS OKINAWA, AN ISLAND THAT USUALLY IS BOOMING WITH TOURIST, IS NOW A GHOST TOWN.
KENTO: I BET THIS IS THE WORK OF SAGE AND HIS GROUP! *makes a growling sound* GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
ROWEN: DON'T GET MAD AT SAGE IT'S NOT HIS FAULT, BEAR MAN. HE ISN'T BAD AND YOU KNOW THAT!
KENTO: YEAH, RIGHT! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
MIA: *hits Kento over the head* YEAH, IT'S STEPHANIE'S FAULT. THAT TRAMP! DON'T WORRY GUYS I PLAN TO KICK HER ASS! *mia turns on her Rambo look* THEIR GOING DOWN!
THE GUYS BACK OFF FROM MIA.
RYO: MAN, I NEVER SEEN THIS SIDE OF MIA.
KENTO: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, MAN. SHE'S SCARIER THAN TALPA.
MIA: I HEARD THAT!
GUYS: MOMMY!
AT THE LONESTAR KINGDOME. SAGE IS ASLEEP ON HIS BED,
HAVING MEMORIES HE KNEW NOTHING OF.
IN SAGE'S MIND. . .
SAGE: WHERE AM I?
HE STARTS TO WALK, VERY LOST AND CONFUSED. PICTURES OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WITH A BLOND MALE WALKING BESIDE HER AND ARE JOINED BY FOUR OTHER YOUNG MEN.
SAGE: IS THAT ME? IT IS ME! DAMN I LOOK GOOD! WHO IS THAT LADY NEXT TO ME, WHY DO I FEEL CONNECTED TO HER? AND WHO ARE ALL THOSE GUYS. THEIR NOT AS GOOD LOOKING AS I AM, THOUGH, SO THEY CAN'T BE THAT IMPORTANT. THE IMAGES START TO RUN AWAY.
SAGE: WAIT, DON'T GO!
HE REACHES HIS HAND OUT.
OUT SIDE OF HIS ROOM. . .
STEPHINE: LET'S CHECK ON THE MASTER.
WOLFSTAR: STEPINE, LEAVE THE MASTER ALONE. YOU KNOW HE WON'T GET HIS REST IF YOU BOTHER HIM. *puts her hands on her hips*
STEPHINE: I WASN'T BOTHERING HIM. *turns noise up*
MERCURIS: DON'T LIE, I SAW YOU! YOU DO KNOW THAT MASTER LIKES ME BEST, THOUGH.
WING FIVE: YEAH RIGHT! HE LIKES ME BEST!
STEPHINE: NO WAY, TRAMP!
WING FIVE: SNOB!
MERCURIS: MISS. PAIN IN THE BUTT!
WOLFSTAR: BIRDIE BRAIN!
STEPHINE: NO WAIT, WOLFSTAR? I THOUGHT I WAS BIRDIE BRAIN?
MERCURIS: YEAH, AND I WAS SNOB, REMEMBER?
WOLFSTAR: OH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. UM. . . .LETS START OVER AGAIN, GUYS. I'LL START THEN STEHPINE YOU GO AFTER ME!
SOON THE FOUR GIRLS START A CAT FIGHT, AGAIN. THOUGH IT SEEMS HARD FOR THEM, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR IQ'S ARE THAT OF A THREE YEAR OLD, BUT THEY TRY. GIVE IT TIME, THEY'LL GET BETTER.
BACK IN SAGE'S ROOM. . .
SAGE'S HEAD SHOOTS UP FROM HIS PILLOW, HE IS COVERED IN SWEAT.
SAGE: I. . .. I-I REMEMBER WHO I AM. ALL THE MEMORIES OF HIS FRIENDS, FAMILY AND HIS LOVE WAS DESTROYED BY HIS NEW SO CALLED, FRIENDS. SAGE THEN REMEMBERED A LETTER THAT HIS FARTHER GAVE HIM. SAGE WENT TO RETRIEVE IT FROM HIS OLD PANTS. WHEN HE FOUND IT, HE OPENED IT.
SAGE: THIS PAPER IS MY FATHER'S WILL. SO HE DIED JUST LIKE MY MOTHER. I HAVE NO ONE LEFT NOW. WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY SAY? SAGE STARTS TO SCAN THE LETTER. IT SAYS. . .
THE LIGHT OF ONE,
DO NOT FEAR. THOUGH I AM DEAD AND SO IS YOUR MOTHER, WE WILL STILL
LIVE. JUST IN A DIFFERENT WAY THAT YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.
SAGE: BUTLER...AH..I MEAN, MERCURIS!
MERCURIS COMES IN. SHE LOOKS LIKE A RAGED DOLL.
MERCURIS: YES, SIR?
SAGE: *looks at her* I DON'T WANT TO KNOW, JUST BRING ME MY CLOTHES AND TELL THE OTHERS WE START THE BATTLE TONIGHT.
MERCURIS: YES SIR! *salutes, like a soldier, but kicks leg to high and
it hits herself in the head*
SAGE: *tear drops* WHY ME? MERCURIS, IF YOU CAN BRING ME A RED MASK AND TRY NOT TO RUN INTO THE WALL.
RYO: ARE YOU ALL READY!
MIA: YEAH, AS I'LL EVER BE! IT'S BOOT TIME, BABY!
KENTO & RYO: HEY, THAT OUR LINE!
MIA: YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, GENTLEMEN?
RYO & KENTO: NO, MA`AM! *they look like they just wet their pants*
SUDDENLY THOUSANDS OF MEN APPEARED OUT OF NO WHERE, AS
THOUGH THEY WERE INVISIBLE.
RYO: I THOUGHT I SENSED SOMETHING.
CYE: ME TOO, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS MIA.
MIA: WHAT?!?
BAD MAN: HELLO, ROBIN WARTS!
KENTO: THAT'S RONIN WARRIORS, BUD!
BAD MAN: WHAT I CAN'T HEAR YOU, I'M DEAF. YOU NEED TO
SPEAK UP, SON!
EVERYONE IN THE ROOM INCLUDING THE REST OF THE BAD GUYS MOAN AND TEAR
DROPS.
BAD MAN: ANYWAY, WE ARE JELLIES. WE'RE INVISIBLE SO
YOU CAN'T SEE US.
ROWEN: *shouts* WE ALREADY FIGURED THAT OUT!
BAN MAN: *winkles forehead and looks at his comrades* WHY IS THE BOY YELLING? DOES HE HAVE A PROBLEM, POOR BOY. *lowers head*
ROWEN: WHAT? NO, MAN, YOU SAID YOU WERE DEAF!
BAD MAN: NO I DIDN'T! *shakes head*
ANOTHER BAD MAN: NO, KID YOUR, RIGHT. HE IS DEAF AND
HE ALSO HAS A BAD MEMORY. WE ALL FEEL PITY FOR HIM!
ROWEN: OH, I'M SO SORRY. WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT IS.
RYO: WHAT WAS THAT!
BAD MAN: ROBIN WING'S, PREPARE FOR YOU DOOM!
KENTO: *whispers to himself* THAT'S RONIN WARRIORS,
YOU DOUF.
EVERYONE GROANS.
MY DEAR SON, SAGE,
BECOMES THE LIGHT OF ANOTHER,
WHICH MAKES THE LIGHT OF TWO,
THAT OPENS THE LIGHT OF ONE.
SAGE: AND I THOUGHT THE RONIN POEM WAS CONFUSING.
*sigh* FATHER I WILL MAKE YOU PROUD, AS GOD AS MY WITNESS! *clenches fist* *hear Gone With the Wind music playing in the background*
BACK AT THE KOJI'S HOUSE. . .
