Chapter 11: Shocking Revelation Xorten escorted me home and promised to drop by sometime. By the time I reached home, it was evening already and the others were seated at the dining table, waiting for me to come back. "Sorry, I got held up." I explained. Lacus got to her feet and went to the stove, asking me what I wanted to cook. "Noodles today!" I smiled and put a plastic bag on the counter. "I wanna help!" Mei Ling said in Chinese and elbowed me away from the stove. "I used to cook noodles when I was a teenager." she grinned. Mei Ling's cooking was great! I made a mental note to ask her to cook our noodles the next time I bought some. Lopez seemed to be rather hungry for more. After dinner, we discussed some matters. "So...... How do we find Saevio?" Ivan asked. As he spoke, the Dark Dragon appeared in spirit form beside him. Lopez, Mei Ling and Lacus jumped when they saw it. "I do not think we need to find him. He will find us." the Dark Dragon said "But one matter is certain, he will be stronger than before, and you will need to train and become stronger as well to beat him. Last time you defeated him was only because Alexis had the Lightbringer, the combination of both Kidousu and Kotetsu melded together. This time, he will find a way to remove the sword from your possession." "Speaking of Alexis's weapon, I need to find my Archaeion!" Ivan said. "The weapons will return to your hands when they feel it is neccessary." the Siren appeared in spirit form beside me. Again, Lopez, Mei Ling and Lacus jumped. Lopez got a slight nosebleed. "Tell your Inner Beast to put on some clothes please." he mumbled. The Siren ignored him and disappeared. Lacus stared at the air where it had been a moment ago. Ivan's PoV...... I placed a puppet at the end of the garden for target practice. I easily impaled it smack in the head with a Strafe. Lopez cradled his new Gross Jaeger lovingly and launched a bolt into the puppet's chest. Right now, Lacus and Alexis were poring over books in the library and Roy was having a short nap. Mei Ling was in a laboratory she had set up in the basement. I wonder what she's doing? I received an answer a few minutes later. Mei Ling dragged me down to her laboratory. "I analysed the blood I took from you back in the campus's lab. You have female DNA in you." she said. I replied sharply, "I know. At least it's not-" "If your body receives a strong enough stimulus, the DNA will start acting up and you'll turn into a girl." she interrupted me. My jaw dropped. "What kind of stimulus?" I asked. "Stuff related strictly to girls for example." she answered, pulling out a syringe of clear liquid. "Hey, that looks like-" I stared at it. Mei Ling cut me off, "I took some of it for analysis. It's a-" I interupted her, "I know what it does, I've seen the effects. So you're saying if that gets into my chest, I'll turn back into a girl?" "Precisely." she replied. I took the strange gun I had stolen from the Fidelo labs 19 years ago out of my pocket and studied it carefully. If I turned back into a girl, would this be able to change me back? I made a puppet and fired the gun at it. The puppet was reduced to a smoking pile of ash in a split second. Ok, maybe I won't try it on myself. Who knows what could happen? Alexis sat down beside me. "I overheard your conversation with Mei Ling." she said. "I prefer staying the way I am......" I pouted. "I know, but who would want to turn you into a girl?" Alexis smiled. "I guess you have a point." I got up and took a step forward. "Hey...... watch it!" Alexis exclaimed. I fell into the swimming pool and water filled my lungs. I started to drown. I had totally forgotten I was sitting right beside the swimming pool! The world around me blurred and I fainted. I opened my eyes. Alexis was on top of me, her lips on mine. "I need a refreshing...... What are you two doing?" Lacus slid down the ladder and stared at us. Alexis broke away and I got to my feet. "This.... It's not what it seems!" I spluttered. "He drowned. I was giving him CPR." Alexis quickly explained. Lacus raised a eyebrow and walked into the changing room, coming out later in a pink swimsuit. She dived into the pool gracefully. Alexis and me left the swimming pool after that awkward explanation to Lacus just in time to hear the doorbell ring. Alexis scooted off to answer the door while I walked upstairs to our bedroom. A queen sized bed occupied a quarter of the total space in the room and a wardrobe was in a corner. I had to buy new clothes for myself and they were in it. Pictures decorated the walls and sunlight shone in from a rectangular window. "Xorten!" Alexis shouted from downstairs and I ran down. Alexis was greeting a Hunter excitedly. "Hi there." the Hunter smiled at me. "Erm, hello." I nodded curtly. "Nice house." he looked around. "Who're you?" I asked. "Ah sorry, I'm Xorten." the Hunter replied. "He got me out of a tight spot earlier yesterday." Alexis grinned. "I didn't think that was a tight spot." Xorten grunted. Mei Ling climbed out of the basement ladder, holding the syringe. "Ivan, where did you get it anyway?" she asked. Then she spotted Xorten in the doorway. He eyed the syringe. "What kind of weapon is that?" Mei Ling got so surprised she threw the syringe into the air. "Ohhh, my bad." she tried to catch it. The syringe flew through the air towards me. I stared at it for a second before I realized what was going on. I tripped over the carpet and fell over. "This is not good." Mei Ling lunged for the syringe and caught it a centimetre over my back. However, she tripped over the carpet as well and gravity carried the syringe straight into my back. "Crap." I cursed. |
