Theme: Paper Cut by Linkin Park

Liz walked home, her bangs flittering in her face. She tucked her bangs behind her ears, and sighed. Sheryl whispered something to Molly. Molly grinned.

Liz’s hazel eyes flew wide-open, and her face took on a look of horror. Sheryl and Molly behaved the same way.

--------Flashback---------

Ika ran as fast as she could. She couldn’t die first! “Sosei Bachiatari!” She wailed, a second set of wings bursting from her back. The white wings were bloodied from their sudden burst to freedom. Ika narrowed her eyes at the Klez-Worm Virus. “Shouri imei kirenai temae.” Ika growled. It reared up its ugly head, confused by the easily-flowing Japanese. She threw her sword into the air, her wings glowing softly. A harsh cry broke her meditation. “TEI!!” Ika cried, throwing out her sword. “Kire no Shinigami!” Ika roared. The virus fell to the ground with a thud, and disintegrated in a series of zeroes and ones.

Ika leaned on her sword, gasping for breath. She looked at her dead comrades and stabbed herself in the heart with a final, whimpering plea of an attack. “Warewa nozoite…” she whispered, reaching out to her friends with her final movement.

--------------------------End Flashback--------------------------

Liz stared at Sheryl and Molly. The two girls stared back. “Wha-a-a?” They asked in unison. Liz’s PDA glowed, and so did Sheryl and Molly’s. “NANI?!” They squealed in confusion, vanishing into thin air.

Ika’s soul, a series of indigo and purple sparkles, circled Liz. Liz pulled her blue sweater up closer to her face. The sparkles seemed to be amused at this display of fear. “Do not fear…” It whispered, spiraling around her body once more. A sword materialized in her hands, and armor appeared where her clothes were. Her hair extended, and became dyed with periwinkle and indigo. Her eyes gleamed. “I am Yaan Ika, the deadly nightshade.” Liz/Ika growled. She landed in a pleasant little building, and grinned.

Tei’s soul, a golden sparkle, danced around Molly. She closed her eyes, and a pure-golden version of Cosmos’s fuku appeared on her figure. She giggled, the did a backflip, a prisim appearing where her brooch would be. “I am Bikino Tei, the Beautiful Maiden’s Air.” Molly/Tei stated in a soft whisper. She landed beside Ika.

Jishin’s soul, which appeared to be brown and green sparkles, danced around Sheryl. A pair of leaflike fairy wings unfolded from behind her back. Her dress looked like four large leaves, sewn seamlessly together with a vine belt. She bowed. “I am Hayashi Jishin, the Forest Earthquake!” Sheryl/Jishin shouted. She appeared on the floor beside Ika and Tei.

Ika looked on for a bit as Lang, from Legaia 2, walked up. “Kuso!!” She cursed as he nearly walked on her. “What are ya, BLIND?” Ika asked in a very cold, sarcastic, accusing tone. Maya, from the same game, looked at her and began tapping Kazan and Lang’s shoulders for attention. Ika, the only one who knew about the game, shrugged. “Prolly can’t talk right now.” She commented. Tei and Jishin stared at Ika.

Kazan looked at her. Then Lang saw her. Ika didn’t waste ANY time in waiting for an apology from Lang. “WHAT ARE YOU, BLIND? COULDN’T YOU TELL I WAS STANDING WQHEN YOU NEARLY TRAMPLED ME?!?” She roared. Maya flinched. Ika blinked and looked at Maya. “O…kay…” She trailed in confusion. Maya had thought something she WANTED to say, but couldn’t. The message reached Ika’s brain.

Jishin glanced at Ika. “O…kay… cool it.” Jishin muttered, her leaflike wings twitching. Ika whirled on her heel to face Avalon. She growled, in low.

“Should we…”

The two sword-users, Ika and Lang, attacked as if one. Ika’s eyes flashed. “KIRE NO SHINIGAMI!!” She crowed, slashing at Avalon. Her sword left its deadly kiss on Avalon’s jugular.

“Woah… She means business.” Tei commented. They could see a sort of aura around Ika.

“Darned straight.” Ika replied, flaring her wings open. She glared at Avalon’s body. It struck her as odd that she wound up here.

Suddenly, their bodies lurched and vanished. They fell in on Usagi, who was reading a Manga. Luna looked up at Tei. “TEI! Get off of Luna, you BAKA!” Jishin yelled, hovering in midair. Ika looked awestruck.

“I… don’t… believe… this!” she squealed, performing a backflip.

Usagi looked at her. Tei stood up. Ika plopped her arms around Jishin’s shoulders. Usagi stared.

“WHAT?” Ika asked in an irritable tone. She began sneezing. “A-A-ACK! C-C-C-- HAAAAACOO!!” she sneezed. Ika unfolded her wings. Suddenly, the world around her shifted to the outdoors. It was night. She was sitting with her friends on Juuban High’s roof. She looked skyward. “How did this all happen?” She pondered. Suddenly, the lurching and vanishing happened again. Ika landed on Ash as he was sleeping, Jishin landed on Brock, and Tei landed on Misty.

“Okay, this needs to STOP!” Jishin shouted. Her wings twitched. Brock looked at her, as if he were dreaming.

Ash groaned and looked at her sleepily. “Geroff…” He groaned. The sound of Ika’s wings opening so she could fly fully awakened him.

Ika turned on her heel, sensing something strange. A Flareon girl walked up. “Ika.” she stated. Ika, seeming her age, ran into the Flareon Hybrid’s arms.

“Technoflare… Soon as this all started, I knew I’d see ya…” She said, looking up, grinning.

“What’s going on, Ash?” Misty asked. Ika’s ears twitched, as did Technoflare’s.

“Aww, craaaaaaap…” They groaned in unison. Ika held up her hand, and a soft purple glow gathered in her palm. “G’bye, Team Rocket!” She shouted, the psi energy blasting Jessie, James, amd Meowth away.

----------------------

Ika, Jishin, and Tei looked at the sky. They opened their wings. “’Bye!” They shouted, kicking the edge of the building and soaring off in a trio of lights.

----------------------

Ika sat down on the grass in front of Hogwarts. She bit her finger, and idly made a flower bloom into a large blossom. She stared at Harry, and kicked the ground, flaring her wings open. Ika stopped his flight, and giggled. “Hi! I’m Ika Yaan! You’re Harry Potter!”

“Erm… yeah…”

Ika grinned from ear to pointy ear. Harry stared at the girl in front of him. It registered in his mind that she had wings, and a sword. Ika jerked her head to Tei. She had attracted quite a crowd. “TEIIII-CHAAAAAAAAAN! STOP SINGING!!! YOU’LL MAKE THEM ALL DEAF!” Ika teased her friend. She then burst into song. Jishin joined in. Their voices weaved in and out in a song Harry couldn’t make heads or tails of.

“Kanashimi ga ima seeraa sumairu Kiseki wo okosu no seeraa uingu…” They sang out, clear enough for the entire school to hear. Ika smiled and winked. Despite all of her appearance’s ferocity and deadliness, there was a sense of bursting life eminating from her very presence.

The trio walked off, and Ika turned her head. “Ja, Harry!” She said with a slight wave. They then leaped and vanished.
