See Me, Bokutachi no Jidai [Closed]

Character(s): Yaten Kou, ZIM
Content: Yaten... is not happy. He decides to do something 'useful'. ...He attracts a lot of creepy, vacant stares and quite possibly Zim.
Setting: ...Not at Cid's shop. Somewhere nearby.
Time: Thursday Afternoon
Warnings: ...Yaten kinda breaks down and turns into an angstwhore about Kakyuu-Ouhi. Shhhhh. ...OH GOD PLEASE LET ME STOP BEING TARD. D:

Yaten curled his hands into fists, looking around. Is she here? ...I should... I don't know. He'd been in concert with the other two Lights, literally, to find Kakyuu-Ouhi. He didn't know if he could look for her on his own.

Worse, the city seemed so... dead. The citizens so uniform. At least in Tokyo, the people seemed to have some semblance of spirit.

These people? Reminded him of Phages. Regardless, that person could be in hiding here. There wasn't much of a chance, but it was there. He willed his microphone to appear, looking around.

He started singing, a capella, voice carrying. He threw himself into it- the kind of singing they did that called out to Kakyuu-Ouhi was Seiya's strong suit, but Taiki and Yaten added to the effect. Yaten was better at picking up on that kind of thing, not sending it out.

He didn't care. He'd try anyway. Hands over his heart, eyes closed, he threw emotion and memory behind the words. Six years of memory, guarding Kakyuu-Ouhi, loyalty to her. She was, as he'd said, everything bright and beautiful about Kinmokusei, the embodiment of the soul of Kinmokusei. She held its Sailor Crystal, after all.

He looked around, making a face.

Well, shit.

"That was a waste of time," Yaten growled, hobbling off. That was just... fuck it. He found a nearby bench and sat, ignoring the rain.

Stupid... freaking idiot soulless morons. He wiped at his eyes with a sleeve, well aware that his eyes were watering without his approval or consent. It was useless, wasn't it? That... Sailor Galaxia, she had won, hadn't she? And now Seiya and Taiki were weakened by Yaten's absence... there was no chance of finding the princess, not in Paixao, not in Tokyo. He bit back on his emotions, an unhappy, cold lump settling somewhere around his stomach.

What was his life, if not for Kakyuu-Ouhi? He was one of her three guardian senshi, fated to protect her by his soul, his Sailor Crystal! He took his brooch out, glaring at it. What was the point?

He wiped at his face again. He was homesick for Kinmokusei, a vibrant, green place that forever smelled of fragrant, sweet flowers. But Kinmokusei was... dead. Barren.

He hated it here. Officially? He HATED it here.

Rain.

Quite possibly the worst weather phenomena Zim had ever encountered. Also? The one thing he had been looking forward to avoiding the second he realized this wasn't Earth but some other planet. He had been so happy-- but no. Wasn't going to happen. The horrible acid feel from the sky, unheeding of Zim's yells for it to stop. Didn't this filthy Paixao world recognize him as its future master?! Apparently not.

Without his paste bathing facility, he'd had to rely on overhangs to hide under. He needed to find a human retail outlet of some form where he could purchase one of those strange "umbrella" devices. Otherwise...

He braced himself and ran out from under the buildings' cover, screaming at the top of his lungs as he made his way almost blindly to another safe spot. Coincidentally, this brought him running right past Yaten's bench, and also coincidentally, he tripped and fell right in front of him.

The screams stopped abruptly, and Zim lay there twitching slightly, the raindrops leaving small trails of steam as they burned away at his flesh. It looked veeeerrry painful, but that was just one of the perks of being an invading alien organism. Fun!

Yaten paused, looking at Zim. He got a flicker... of something. Even without reading Zim's body language, Yaten could tell something was hurting. ...Which was good, because Yaten wasn't really watching. He blinked, lurching forward.

"Hey, you." He blinked a bit, willing his eyes to stop watering. It was Zim! Oh, right. "What the... shit?" Yaten blinked at the steam, frowning at the shorter alien. "Are you okay? My empathy's picking up on pain of all things." Squint.

This made little to no sense.

Yaten reached out to poke the smaller alien.

Zim shrieked.

"AWAY!! STAND AWAY! I'M NORMAL!!!!" he yelled, on his feet again in a blink. He flailed slightly, seeming unsteady and otherwise disoriented, the slight windmill arm effect doing absolutely nothing to lessen the OH GOD BURNING AND PAIN he was feeling. Really. Ow.

He stopped flailing long enough to give Yaten a long stare and say in a much more calm voice, "Oh, it's you," before running like hell to the nearest overhang, screaming like a banshee.

Yaten blinked. What the hell? He squinted at Zim, wiping at his face. "What the hell, Zim," Yaten asked, looking around.

Well, shit. Here he was, sitting down, and he couldn't get up. ...Fuck. He tried, and-- OW OW OW.

Yaten let out a yelp as he half-stood, letting out a yelp of pain as the still-sore sprain made itself known. Painfully. He hissed, glaring around. "That hurt," he hissed under his breath, glaring. Ow.

Zim clung to the sides of the building he had sought shelter under, clearly reluctant to venture out into the rain again. Stupid rain! He growled at it, shaking his fist. If only it would stop plaguing him like he knew it was...

He called back to her, yelling as loudly as he could even though they weren't more than ten feet apart. "SO, YOUR PATHETIC EARTH BODY HAS FAILED YOU, EH? EH? EH? EH? EH? PAAAAAAAAAAATHETIC. AHAHAHAHA ARGH MY TALLEST IT BURNS." A drop of water had condensed and fallen right on his forehead between his eyes, burning a sizzling train down his green skin. "AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"At least water doesn't burn me, fuckwit. I'm not an Earthling, in any case. Don't call me something so low," Yaten growled, dragging himself forward. He used his bench to get to his feet. He yelped as thunder rumbled. Thunder meant lightning meant HOBBLING UNDER THE BUILDING WITH ZIM AT A FAST PACE. He leaned against it pressing his back to it, and flopped to the ground.

"Stupid ankle," Yaten growled. "Stupid storms." He sighed, thudding the back of his head on the wall. "Stupid... Paixao. Gods, I just want to find Kakyuu-Ouhi."

Zim's antennae twitch under his hair before he could stop them. "'Fuck-wit?'" he asked bewilderedly, over-enunciating each syllable. "How does one FUCK someones WITS? And what is this 'Kakyuu-Ouhi?'" Oddly enough, he had no trouble pronouncing that name, just with the other one. Strange.

He let out a small whimper at the thunder. He had to find somewhere to make a base... but wheeeeeeere would that somewhere be?! He had to use his INGENIUS BRAINS to think of something... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

As for the comment about Yaten not being an Earthling? As far as Zim was concerned, he was. He couldn't remember the other planet's name anyway, and besides which the white-haired currently man-shaped thing seemed to be the only one of his kind left, so therefore? Earthenoid. Simple.

"Fuckwit is an insult," Yaten said. "Fuck is considered a vulgar word, so, therefore, calling someone a fuckwit is a more vulgar way of calling them an idiot. Kakyuu-Ouhi is my PRINCESS, my EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING bright and beautiful about Kinmokusei. Without her and the Kibou no Hikari? Kinmokusei is in... deep shit." He sighed, putting a hand to his forehead.

"I was one of three fated soldiers, destined to protect her because of my soul's nature. I failed. Now I'm searching... and I can't find her."

Zim's expression could best be described as "abuh?" His mind ignored the insult for now, still trying to make sense of this other alien's plight. Unfortunately? He didn't get it. At all. He just stared at Yaten for a moment, sticking his tongue out of his mouth for a moment absently as his mind seemed to visibly shut down behind his pinkish eyes.

He shook himself after a moment, seeming to give up trying to understand and just sticking to what he knew, which was to say, invading. He wasn't very good at it, but hey, he could try. "So, this... Kibou no Hikari... is it powerful?"

"Yeah, it is. In English, it's called the Light of Hope. Nobody knows what it is, exactly, but it could pretty much save the galaxy I'm from..." Yaten closed his eyes. "But I'm more concerned with finding Kakyuu-Ouhi, not some rumor across the galaxy..."

It was lame, really. He had this shiny power... and he couldn't do anything with it.

Light of Hope... save a galaxy? Booorrriiinng. Unless it was somehow used for mass destruction, panic, and chaos, Zim didn't care. Sad, but true. He listened anyway, though, in his vague sort of way, one eye very wide and the other squinted at Yaten slightly.

"So this... Kakyuu-Ouhi... is she tall?"

"Taller than me," Yaten said seriously. "She's got... really bright red hair and bright red eyes, and has little flower motifs on her clothing." He closed his eyes.

...Let's pretend he didn't scream like a terrified little girl when lightning flashed. Let's also pretend he didn't cling to Zim.

"WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Zim, obviously, had absolutely no issues with admitting he screamed like... well, something very, very, horribly loud, with lots of flailing and nonsensical gibberish mixed in there, just because. His eyes had gotten impossibly wide, not only out of fear but surprise at being clung to like he was some kind of stuffed animal, and he just sort of stared at Yaten for a moment like he had no idea what to do, which was probably right.

Yaten coughed and released his hold on the shorter alien. "Sorry," he said, scooting away. Fucking... stupid lightning... Yaten thought, rubbing at his ears. "Well, you certianly have a good set of... whatever the hell you breathe with, to scream like that," Yaten grumbled.

Zim puffed up his chest with pride, beaming at Yaten. "WHY YES I DO INDEED. The Tallest have often made a note of it, and their recognition of my AMAZING SKILL is always gratfiying! I am pleased that an inferior being like yourself can appreciate my SUPREME SCREAMING SKILLS." Cue maniacal laughter. Zim hadn't noticed his slip at all, unfortunately. Oh well.

"...I'm not inferior. In fact, I bet I'm superior to you. After all, my star seed shines," Yaten quipped, grinning at Zim wickedly. "You'd probably turn into a phage if your star seed were revealed to open air. And then I'd have to kill you."

It was very possible the weather, stress, and pain were getting to him. Very possible.

Confusion. "Star seed? Phage? WHAT DO THESE STRANGE WORDS MEAN??? IS THIS MORE OF YOUR SEX TALK, PITIFUL HU-- KINMOKUSEI...I...AN????" More flailing, yelling, and general gesturing for an explanation now, while Yaten still had a mouth to explain with.

He shook his fist at him, adding, "YOU ARE TOO INFERIOR! NO ONE CAN MATCH THE MIGHT OF THE IRKEN ELITE!!"

"A star seed..." Yaten pulled his brooch out, tapping the cover. The cover vanished, revealing a clear stone in the lower half, perfectly-cut. "It's not sex talk, Zim, it's... senshi talk." He held his brooch up, smiling a little at the glow coming off of it before tapping the star-shape pattern inside of it. The cover re-appeared, and Yaten tucked the brooch away.

"I bet I can. You see, your star seed is black and opaque- not a sailor crystal. Sailor Crystals are the most powerful star seeds, which is where I get my powers. So I can match, probably even outclass the 'Irken Elite'."

Zim grumbled to himself for a moment, seeming to be thinking about that. Star seeds, phages, Kinmokusei... none of them really fit into his world of invading and conquering. At all. So what was the point of learning about it? He was intrigued by these 'Sailor Crystals' though... anything with power was interesting to him anyway.

Besides which, they were shiny. Shiny shiny shiny.

"How do I get a Star Crystal? And how will it help me to subjugate all mankind? TELL ME NOW!"

"Sailor Crystal, Zim," Yaten said. "And it's all just a matter of if you're born with one or not. I was born with a Sailor Crystal. They won't help you subujgate mankind, though, dimwit," Yaten commented.

He paused, pulling out his journal and checking something. ...This 'something' made him go rather pale and horrified-looking, green eyes wide. Oh, nonononono, he thought. No way in-- hell, no, no, no, no...

"WHATEVER. ZIM NEEDS NO CRYSTALS OF EITHER THE STAR OR SAILOR VARIETY, PITIFUL KINMO-THING. ZIM NEEDS NOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He struck a dramatic pose, pointing up at the stormy sky as though speaking to it instead of Yaten. Because it was more dramatic that way. Duh.

His antennae twitched under his hair and he spun around to look at Yaten, opening his mouth to say something else undoubtedly incredibly retarded and ill-informed, when he caught the expression on the other alien's face. He narrowed one eye at him, cocking his head to one side curiously. "What is wrong, Kinmo-thing? TELL ME."

Yaten maked a face, hands curling into fists in his lap. This... this was not good. Not good at all. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down. It wasn't... really working.

Chaos. Oh, shit, oh hell, Chaos. I thought-- Chaos, and Vincent, and... Yaten was shaking. A lot. "...Chaos," Yaten muttered, trying to force himself to breathe normally, to not panic. "...Chaos, and Vincent, and oh hell, Oh HELL."

Yaten wasn't making any sense to anyone but himself.

"Uh... huh..." Zim just stared at him for a moment longer, one eye still held open impossibly larger than the other. This Kinmo-thing obviously had a bad case of the brain worms. Nothing he could do about it, really, there wasn't much cure for it other than running a laser RIGHT THROUGH HIS SKULL. Not fun, and Zim wasn't particularly fond of exposing people's organs for squishing... well, he actually was, but eh. He wasn't in the mood for it right now.

Hmm. Maybe if he just backed... slowly away... Yaten wouldn't pounce on him and try to infect him with the worms. The woooooooooorrrrrmssss. He began to move slowly away, keeping his eyes on him the whole time. Must... utilize... superior... Irken... NINJA SKILLS.

Yaten eyed Zim for a moment. Oh, right. This... green... Irken... thing didn't know about Chaos, did he? Yaten laughed a little at that thought. Someone didn't know about Chaos. Ha. Hahaha. That was funny!

"Chaos... Chaos is an immensley powerful being that started a war in my galaxy," Yaten explained when he'd gotten control of his laughter. "...Vincent is someone I met here. ...H-he turned into something, and he called it Chaos, and..." Yaten made a vauge flailing motion with his hands.

Damn it, the Kinmo-thing had noticed his amazingly stealthy retreat! Zim quickly straightened, looking innocent. This brain worm infestation was a worthy foe indeed, for the amazing Zim to not have noticed it up until now. Unless somehow this "Chaos" had been the cause? Was Chaos some kind of... QUEEN brain worm? He remembered the time the lice had taken over his Skool and decided it must be so.

Too bad he didn't care enough to help. He didn't want to get skinned alive again, thank you very much. "FASCINATING. But what does this have to do with ZIM? ZIM has no need for this... CHAOS, or this VINCENT, whom I can only assume is your LOVE PIG. Peculiar transformation aside, I have no reason to associate myself with this matter."

Egocentric, what?

...Love pig?

Yaten turned red. "No, he's not. I would never betray Kakyuu-Ouhi like that," Yaten snapped, resisting the urge to punch Zim. "And if you don't want to involve yourself? Fine. I don't care." Yaten closed his eyes.

Damnit all, he needed a healer for his ankle. Or advil.

"... Then this 'Kakyuu-Ouhi' is your love pig? I see... you Kinmo-things are as confusing as humans are. That must make you-- weak." Love was a weakness after all, and if Yaten was indeed... love... piggy... having.. with Kakyuu-Ouhi, then they must all be weak. Weak like a... very weak thing... that was weak!

Zim waved his hand imperiously at him, starting to walk away. "Very well, then, I will leave you to your HIDeous fate at the hands of this Chaos and lament the fact that your planet was not marked for conquest before it was destroyed. VICTORY FOR ZIM!!!"

Yaten went bright red in the face with fury. "...My Princess is not a love pig!" Yaten yelled, lunging at Zim. That... that was an unforgivable insult, to attack his Princess's honor like that! Zim would pay for that trespass!

"HEALER STAR POWER, MAKE UP!" Cue the flashy lights of transformation!

Healer glared at Zim. "STAR SENSETIVE INFERNO!!!!! You DARE make such a comment about my Princess!" Healer shrilled, her voice high and angry. She was probably going to try choking Zim if her attack didn't connect. "Make a comment like that again and I will see to it that you are beaten over the head with a brick or fifty."

Zim's eyes went wide as saucers at Yaten's fury, completely bewildered as to how his completely inoffensive observation of the piggy nature of this Kakyuu-person had sent her into such a terrible rage. He was so surprised, in fact, and completely baffled at seeing the transformation up close that he was caught completely off guard when the... thing... came flying at him.

Not off guard enough to keep from screaming, though.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The blast hit him and sent him flying into the wall of another building, which he hit with a sickening CRACK! ("MY SPINE!!!") before sliding slowly down to the ground, a single droplet of water seeming to taunt him by landing on the center of his forehead and leaving a loud hiss and burning sensation of EXTREME BURNING PAIN where it fell.

This did absolutely nothing to stop the screaming.

It eventually subsided, though, and Zim awkwardly craned his neck to flare at Yaten through oddly bloodshot eyes. "You-- FOOL!!!!!" he said in a halting tone, shifting his neck again with some more loud cracking sounds. "DO NOT INVOKE MY-- THING. THAT DOES STUFF. ER... WRATH!!!"

For all his (admittedly quite weak) threats, though, he made no movement to get up, even more droplets of water falling on him and making him flinch. So very sad, but he wasn't really in any position to move. Or something. Owiieee.

Healer glared coldly, green eyes focused on a green-skinned alien. "You are the fool," Healer offered, voice frosty. "You are the fool who dares to make such a rude comment about my Princess. I should kill you for your trespass, but I have places to be."

That said, Healer began hobbling towards Cid's shop, jaw clenched with anger. It was her duty to protect Kayuu-Ouhi and her honor, and if someone made as insufferable of a comment as to say that Kakyuu-Ouhi would be so low as to engage in activities of a romantic nature with one of her guardian soldiers, and then to call her a pig!?

Unforgivable. Simply un. for. givable. Healer would remember this slight against her Princess well.

...Even if the senshi was making a less-than-graceful exit.
