Welcome to my evil lair, mwuhahahaha! [COMPLETE]

Character(s): Yuuri and Mao
Content: Yuuri kidnapped Mao and wants to ask him some questions
Setting: A random rented house
Time: Early in the week.
Warnings: Yuuri. Kidnapped. Mao. Nuff said.

For everyone in Paixao, she simply looked like a normal, standard Paixaoan woman making her way home after a day of work. She carried home two bags of groceries and greeted her new neighbors as she made her way to her front door. Things changed radically once inside though, as the woman seemed to melt down, only to reform herself as Yuuri. It was the perfect disguise, really. No one knew who she was in the city, and no one would ever suspect a normal house rented by an “upstanding member of society-slash-not an outsider” to be hiding a magical prison.

For the last few days, Mao, a kid who claimed he was a demon, had been stuck behind an explosive force field in her basement. She still didn’t believe that he was a demon, but she had seen him use magic, something that should have been impossible for a boy. And thus, Mao saw himself get promoted from “crazy kid” to “object of interest”. She tried to call for Kyubey to ask him why he made a contract with him... but strangely, he never came.

This was starting to worry her. Things were different here. She’s been here for less than a week, and yet nothing made sense. Kyubey wasn’t here, boys could use magic... witches seemed to be nonexistent, and worst of all; she couldn’t find one trace of the Pleiades. She was certain that this was just a trap by those girls, and yet, she wasn’t able to find them. While she was sure that her stunt on the message board wouldn’t have lured them out, she had expected the citizens to at least recognise her! But no, no one had ever heard of them. She even took walks, magically disguised as them much to her disgust, and... nothing: no one knew who they were, and they never showed themselves.

She had one final trick up her sleeve to lure them out, but the effects wouldn’t be felt immediately. Oh well... that kid had been down there for a few days now, maybe it was finally time to pay him a visit. She probably should go feed him too while she was at it.

Mao had quickly come to the conclusion that he did not like being kidnapped. It wasn't even that this girl had done it wrong. From what Mao could tell, the deed had been executed almost flawlessly, and she was treating him exactly how a prisoner should be treated. But... that didn't mean he had to like it.

As the hours had worn on and on Mao reminded himself that he just had to wait until he he could get information out of her. After a good interrogation he could fight his way out of this damn basement. And he didn't have to worry as much about holding back, either (or that's what he assumed).

Of course, that had been two days ago. She had taken her sweet time actually coming down here, and Mao was starting to get pissed. At least he had some time to get a good look at that barrier and run a couple tests, as well as make some notes.

Mao had never been a priority, in fact, he was nothing more than a "curiosity" in her eyes. The only reason Yuuri was walking down the stairs was because she had time to kill and that he probably needed to be fed. Last thing she needed was a corpse on her hands.

She stared at him for a few minutes before she quickly created a breach in the force field, tossing in some bread and a bottle of water before closing it off again. She only spoke when she was certain that she would be safe.

"How did you make a contract with him?"

Mao stared down at the offered food. "Really? Bread and water? How stereotypical can you get?" Though that was also kind of impressive. Down to the last detail, huh?

"I don't know what 'contract' you're talking about," he said around a large bite of bread. So... it might not have been quite so understandable.

"Why don't you give me some information first and then I'll answer what questions you got."

"I've got no food to spare for the likes of you," Yuuri answered flatly. Honestly, what was this guy expecting? Okay so maybe she could have fed him earlier, but she wasn't about to make him a five course meal just because.

"Don't play dumb with me. How did you get your magic? Only girls can contract with Kyubey!" she finally said after contemplating him for a few moments. 'Information'? What was he talking about? He was the one with the information.

Well that was interesting. Magic only came from contracts where she was from? He'd have to make a note of that. It kind of explained why he was being kidnapped. Mao scoffed. "It's basic elemental magic." Sort of. He knew some of the higher levels of it. "It's not like I'm the only one who can do it. I don't even know who the hell this Kyubey guy is."

Mao paused. "So how exactly does he give magic to people anyway? How do these 'contracts' work?" This was actually getting kind of interesting.

Yuuri knew that the kid would probably not spill the beans that easily, even after a few days of confinement, but his refusal and her current failures at getting any results were making her angrier faster than usual. How stupid did he think she was? It didn't matter if it whether it was elemental magic or something as stupid as fighting with ribbons, he shouldn't be able to use it.

"Don't play dumb with me!" she snapped, for a second looking as if she was ready to summon her guns but decided against it. Though okay... maybe he didn't know Kyubey, after all the Pleiades didn't seem to know him either, they had someone else with them. "How else would you have gotten magic, boy? You made a contract, and I want to know why?! He specifically said it was only 'magical girls'!"

Mao's eyes widened a little. "Magical girls?" So that's what was going on with her! Even if her powers didn't seem to be very love and friendship-y. Maybe she was a dark magical girl? Mao didn't really do a lot of research on that subgroup of heroes. "I think I get it. This 'Kyubey' is your mascot, right? The one that gets all the merchandise made of him?"

Mao cupped his chin, his foot tapping against the floor as he thought. So she thought he was a "magical boy" then? He couldn't even begin to think about how wrong that was. "I didn't get magic from anyone. How many times do I have to tell you I'm a demon before it gets into your thick skull?!"

...He wondered what she used to transform.

This time, Yuuri's anger flared up. Two guns were summoned next to her and fired off at Mao. She aimed her bullets at him, but they only landed near him, in order to scare him straight. How dare he... Was this a joke for him? Something out of an anime? A 'mascot'? This kid understood nothing

"Demons don't exist!" she snarled back, her face twisting slightly. "Only certain bitches who act like demons do!"

Edited 2012-06-17 02:33 (UTC)

Mao didn't even flinch. She was trying to interrogate him, wasn't she? What use would it be to kill him now? Even if he didn't know what she wanted from him, he knew that much. "You have one standing right in front of you and you can't even believe it? Keh, I'll find someway to make you believe. Even if I have to drill it in! In fact, I'd prefer it that way!"

A wicked grin spread across his face. "And when I'm working on that, I won't even have to ask how you transform. I'll just find whatever magical device you use while you're on the table. I bet it's some kind of locket or pen."

BANG!

This time the shots were aimed straight at Mao's arms and legs. Two more guns appeared out of nowhere to shot darts at the kid. She was completely mad at this point.

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP! You will answer ME or I'll end this right here!" As much as she wanted answers, they weren't necessary to her grand scheme. "Demons do not exist, you are simply a freak of nature! Now answer me! Why did they allowed you to gain this!? What was so important that they would break their own rules?! Are you working with those bitches!"

Ahh, now there was the question...

Mao stumbled back from the blow, glancing behind him to make sure he didn't stray too close to the borders of the barrier. He glared at the girl and pulled one of the darts from his arm. "Tch, using torture methods, huh?" he muttered under his breath.

"Anyway, you're just looking for the answers you want! Stop blaming me for not knowing what you're talking about!" Damn it... He was probably bleeding, wasn't he?

Yuuri's insane look in her eyes didn't last very long, instead returning to their normal cold and calculating selves. So... this kid was still sticking with the "demon" thing, huh?

Nothing made sense around here. They were in a trap made by the Pleiades but... nothing made sense. Could it be that something else had happened that day? Did she know what she was talking about?

No... it was impossible.

"The girls that call themselves the Pleiades, she ones that brought me here, where are they!" she demanded, her stare cold as ice. "If you don't know, then I'll consider you useless!"

Mao was silent for a moment. Sure, he could tell the truth. He could tell this girl again that he didn't have any clue who she was talking about. Her threat didn't really mean a lot to him. Sure, she could pack a punch, but Mao didn't even need to do any calculations to tell that he could take her. He had some idea of what she was capable of now. She seemed to have a lot of ranged attacks, so if he got in close, he should be fine.

But leaving now meant that he wouldn't be able to get more information out of her, would he? Not that she was saying a lot.

On the other hand... some information could always be gotten through a fight. This was a tough choice.

Mao stuffed his hands into the pockets of his shorts and scoffed. "Well what do they look like? Do you know how many people are here? It's not like everyone gives their name."

He pressed a button on a device in his pocket.

For a minute there, Yuuri stood silent, slowly alternating between boiling over in anger and calming down. He had a point after all; these girls were sneaky, they wouldn't just show up and scream "Mwuhahaha, we are evil"...

Wait, she was starting to think like this kid now. Dammit, she needed to get him out of her face.

She thought about her options for a few moments before she suddenly started bubbling up and melting before Mao. It took a few seconds before she reformed, transforming herself into another girl. She did this six more times, for six other girls.

She didn't want to reveal her powers yet... but it's not like she was planning on letting him go.

From the very first transformation, Mao stared at the girl in slackjawed silence. With every subsequent one, his hand creeped ever closer to his quickly fogging glasses, and his breathing grew heavier. "That's... That's... incredible! The way the body's consistency changes... The reformation, forming a perfect replica...! Wonderful... How absolutely wonderful! What I wouldn't do to figure out the mechanism behind it!"

The guns were right back out, ready to shoot at him once again for his insolence. But right as they aimed, Yuuri froze.

Why was he so interested in how it worked? It was magic, that's all. She wished to be someone else, thus her powers allowed her to become anyone she desired. It was only that... then why...

"You... really don't know?" For a slip second there, it was almost as if she was an entirely different person than the permanently angry woman she had become. She was confused, very confused.

Was he truly just a demon?

Mao calmed down after a second, wiping the drool off the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. "Of course I don't. Why do you think I want to know? I get that it's probably some kind of magic, but no magical girl in any comic I've ever read has ever had that kind of power! Not unless it was a villain or the monster of the day."

Unless he was missing something... He couldn't be missing anything, could he?

Comics? But then...

Yeah, at this point it was obvious that he had never made a contract to get his powers. She still didn't understand how demons were possible but for the moment it didn't matter.

His reaction to her transformations told it all... he had no idea who these girls were... he was just interested in watching her transformed like some sort of otaku pervert. She was a bit curious about his so-called demonic powers, and trying to get more information about just what the heck was going on around here but...

He knew too much.

And he was annoying as hell.

"It is not important for people about to die to know these things!"

"About to--? Damn!" That meant the interrogation was over. He should have tried to draw things out a little longer. He would just have to learn more about her in a practical fight. Maybe if he came out on top and knocked her out he could just dissect her and be done with it. If he could just get out of this barrier...

It was magic, right? Some kind of seal or symbol or something? The barrier might not have been the same kind of magic, but maybe it was just close enough for... Yes. Yes, he just needed to wait for them to arrive and--

A loud crash sounded from upstairs, followed by metallic clacking and clanking and several smaller crashes. "Heheh... Sounds to me like you have bigger problems on your hands. My back-up has just arrived!"

Edited 2012-06-18 03:57 (UTC)

Yuuri's guns were aimed right at Mao's head, however she fired off right as the loud crashes were heard, making the guns miss their intended target.

The boy could wait, anyway, it's not like he could escape the barrier. She ran upstairs only to find herself face to face with machines... how... how did that bastard do this!?

Robots?! How on Earth...

The two robots, patched and cobbled together from the machines wandering about Spira, jerkily made their way toward the basement door, an occasional spark emitting from them. Mao had been careful to repair them the best he could, but the wear and tear on the machines wasn't something that couldn't completely be fixed--not without newer parts.

None of them seemed to be attacking yet, having not been attacked themselves. It seemed the commotion they were causing primarily occurred from their initial entrance and their jerky motions knocking over objects.

Meanwhile, Mao gathered a bright, green energy in his hand, forcing it hotter and brighter than it would normally be. Once he got it to an amount he was good with, he slammed his hand onto the symbol below and forced the energy into the seal, rather than letting it explode as he was used to doing.

Yuuri was trapped between two things that should have been impossible. The robots on one side, which completely caught her off guard for once. At the very least, they hadn't attacked yet, and they looked pretty worn down, so she should be able to tear them to pieces easily.

The other thing however... the distraction made by those robots made her unable to realize what Mao had been doing. She couldn't have reacted fast enough to prevent his magic from destroying hers. Granted, this was in part because she didn't think he could have done it so she let her attention drop, but in any case, the deed was done.

Her magical circle was broken and the magical barrier dissipated, letting the demon free.

She quickly summoned her guns, trying to trap Mao again with her shackles. She couldn't do much beyond that, summoning Cole indoors would be a disaster... not to mention her other spells...

Edited 2012-06-21 00:03 (UTC)

The green aura from Mao's modified Blast Finger faded, and the demon took in a few deep breaths from a smirk. That had actually taken a bit of effort. Whoever this annoying girl was, she at least had a little bit of punch to her. One of these days, he really was going to have to ambush her and take her in to be fixed up. There were way too many possibilities for him to pass this up.

The moment Mao noticed the guns, he pulled out his sword, charging forward to try to get in close. She seemed to primarily use ranged attacks... If his calculations were correct, that meant her defense was probably low.

The guns fired off their shackles towards Mao. However, Yuuri hadn't been expecting Mao to pull out his sword... or that he had a sword in the first place. She should really search her victim next time she decides to kidnap one.

For once, she lost her cool. She was indoors, trapped between a crazed demon with a sword and a bunch of robots. Deciding that the metal scraps were less dangerous, she jumped backwards, intending on sprinting past them, not even stopping to notice if the shackles connected or not.

Mao managed to deflect one of the shackles away from himself with a swipe of a sword, but the other one ended up catching his wrist, pinning him to the wall. Muttering curses under his breath, Mao reached into his pocket and pulled out a small, flashing, button-like device and threw it at Yuuri's retreating form.

She may have slowed him down, but he could get out of this damn building easily enough. He'd just let the Specimen Abductors he'd fixed up grab her for him.

Yuuri didn't notice Mao's actions, nor the fact that she was hit by anything.

The only thing she did notice was that the two robots finally decided to make their move and come after her. She was still trapped in the middle of the stairs and being pushed back to the basement was out of the question. Three guns appeared near her and fired off plain old regular bullets at one of the machines.

The robot Yuuri shot had been in the middle of a swing, and the bullets striking its arm were enough to send it stumbling off balance. The arm, charged with electricity, began sparking out of control, one of the bullets apparently having damaged some of the wiring.

Meanwhile, after a few moments of struggling, Mao was finally able to break free. He rolled his wrist a few times and started to advance on Yuuri, a rather unsettling grin on his face. "Heheh... You might as well give up now! If you come quietly, I might be convinced to let you off with a dissection and a few rockets."

Fastest working karma ever.

With the advancing robots and the deranged demon in the back, Yuuri was trapped. She would have shrugged away his talks of dissections and experimentation as fake boasts, but with Mao's current actions... yes, she was quickly loosing her own confidence here.

Tossing aside all caution and care, she decided that this house didn't suit her needs anymore. She brought her hands close together and a small energy triangle formed between them.

"IL TRIANGOLO!"

An explosion of multiple triangle shaped energy shot out of her, slamming into anything living or not in the room as the foundation started to shake.

The amount of magical energy in the air made the hair on the back of Mao's neck stand on end, and he could only throw his arms up in front of him to try and defend himself against the blast. It only did so much, and he slammed back into the wall of the basement. The robots fared even worse, becoming destroyed beyond repair.

Dammit...! Her super move?!

Yuuri didn't wait a single second after the explosion went off. She dashed up the stairs, past the destroyed robots and flew out of the house at top speed, being too fast so that her neighbors couldn't see who rushed out.

There was also another reason for her speed; she knew exactly what would happen if she used this type of spell indoors... the building was already starting to shake and rumble; it wouldn't last very long.

She had no sympathies for the kid, he already knew too much after all. He should simply die under the rubble.

Mao pushed himself up from the ground and shook his head to clear the daze. It didn't take long for him to notice the cracking, crumbling foundation, and he rushed up the stairs--a little wobbly--to try and escape the house before it fell. He made it up the stairs before the house fell, one of the supporting beams cracking him on the back of the head and knocking him out.

Within the smoke and the gathering crowd, Yuuri easily managed to transform herself into yet another normal Paixaoan woman. Blending in easily, she simply went with the flow, randomly agreeing with the natives that it was probably an outsider who did this and asking where the police was. If anyone saw her leave the house, they wouldn't be able to recognize her anymore.

The only thing that could have given her away was the twisted grin slowly forming on her face. That little bastard deserved to die anyway, him getting in the way of her revenge with his disturbing ways. She kept watching both hoping he died and yet hoping he survived so she could pound his head in once more. Ahh, that thought was so nice.

It would only be later that she would notice her Soul Gem and how dark it was becoming...
