Memoirs of a RAFian

[Underseen]

A chapter this late at night. Wow Cloak, must be a good day for you.

[Cloak]

Eh, there are good days and there are bad days.

EDIT: And this is gonna be one of the bad ones.  Gonna have to be on hiatus until Monday.  I don't want to be that way, but my mom decided to spring something on me -- something of which, she'll probably be unsatisfied with in the end.  She's never satisfied.

[Underseen]

I would say I know how that feels Cloak. My last girlfriend was kinda like that, but unlike girlfriends you can't break up with your mom...

[Cloak]

Well, as I've said in the Totally Random Thoughts thread, if the GBs* look good, I'll post another chapter or two tomorrow.  Or maybe later tonight, but don't hold me to that.  Thus, the hiatus is basically over -- until Thursday, when I've got to help my cousin again.  But I finished planning out the chapters of two books during this last hiatus.

---
*I'm only alloted a specific amount of gigabytes -- five, to be specific -- and cannot go over, lest pay overages.  Which I really cannot afford to do.

[Underseen]

I am surprised no one cared to buy you a new computer for your birthday

[Noelle]

Yay, caught up!    I can't wait to read more.

[Underseen]

Ten days of hiatus and Cloak has still not returned... I hope everything is okay with him and his family.

I think I should start a Memoirs themed roleplay

[Cloak]

The hiatus was because of the GBs I was alloted -- there was no more, after I was on last.  So I had to wait until the tenth . . . then I had to help my cousin and his friend work on my mother's roof again.

But I'm here now, and now that I have a rather comfy seat, I'll post as many chapters as I've the energy to post.

I think I should start a Memoirs themed roleplay

There kinda already is . . . it's called "Intro Randomness".  I tend to draw from that well a lot.

I'll post another chapter after I update the list . . . I did a lot of writing while I was on hiatus.

[Underseen]

Oh, my bad. I forgot about the bytes.

[Cloak]

It's alright, Underseen.  I managed to completely plan the chapters for two or three books in the meantime. . . . As well as come up with new ideas for a few . . . I really should add them first, before I forget . . .

Added three new book ideas to the list!  Book CIII to Book CV . . . that's Book 103 to Book 105.  Anyway, the chapter -- brace yourself, it'll probably be short.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN:
Prawns and Pawns

Gemini really seemed to like throwing vehicles at the three, although Cloak didn't know the make or model of any.  He just knew that they were a hot pink one, then a fiery red one, then a subtle blue one, then a green one, then yellow, then a brown dirty one, and so on and so forth.  Cloak was really tiring of this, and he blurted, "You can't hurt us with anything made of metal, you macrocephalic moron!!"

Then Cloak had platter of prawns thrown at him, that made him choke a bit.  Cloak couldn't help but think, Where, in the name of the Gate, did he get a platter of prawns from?!

Then he looked and saw that one of the bystanders was what appeared to be a caterer.  And not a very good one at that.  Who caters prawn platters?*  More to the point, why did Gemini think that would be an effective attack?  Neither of them have an allergy to the minute crustaceans that Cloak was aware of.  It was a move that really smacked of desperation than anything else.

"Why'd he think that was good idea?" Shadow asked.

Cloak said nothing.

"You don't know, do you?"

Cloak continued to feign muteness.  It was at this point the incurably-childish Gemini realized his prawn plan failed, and he began to kick his withered legs and pump his vestigial arms in a mode of pure tantrum.  Cloak raised an eyebrow as if to say, Really?

"Why is he acting like a Hatchling?" Shadow asked with a tone that conveyed Cloak's shared disbelief.

"I . . . I really don't know why he's being so childish," Estelore commented.  "He wasn't like this when you fought his RAFian clones, was he?"

"His what?"

"Later, Shadow." Cloak said, firmly, adding, "If that."  Then he addressed Estelore, "I didn't fight any clones, I didn't even see the REAL Gemini.  He led me into a trap where I had to battle his quick clones."

"You just said you didn't --"

"Quick clones aren't the same as permanent clones.  They will dissolved by themselves after a few hours." Cloak countered.

"Quit ignoring me!" Gemini wailed.  It was rather pathetic, but then again, he was rather like an infant in that new body of his, but he hadn't an excuse.  Goom and Phoenix, in the precious few minutes that they were Ultimate, didn't act as such.  Cloak was finding Gemini less and less a threat and more and more a pitiable figure.  Isolation had not done the biological engineer any favors.

Cloak realized that Gemini's whines and bawling had ended, and he wore a look of malicious intent upon his face.  It was rather unnerving to see.

"You see, I've just had an idea," Gemini said.  Only he had decided not to use his own voice to say it -- he used the voices of a twelve-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy.  Simply by doing this, Gemini had succeeded in sending a chill up Cloak's spine from the very tip of his tail, it felt like.

"Is it me, or is that really creepy?" Shadow asked.

"It's not just you," Cloak replied.

But then a broader chorus of voices began to speak in unison, where more voices seemed to have been added with every three words.  "I should have realized before, should've realized sooner.  I needn't waste my time or my powers battling you directly.  Not when a nice group of pawns have amassed on the sidelines of this battle."

"You fiend!" Estelore said, well-aware of the line making her sound like a cliched superhero.

"Uh, how do we battle this guy without hurting the people?" Shadow asked.

"You can't," came the chorus of voices as many bodies of every possible demographic -- young, old, male, female, slacker, workaholic, black, white, whatever -- strode to stand between the bigheaded coward and the three.  At this, Cloak was unable to repress a feline snarl.

"Uncle!" Shadow said in scandalized tones.  "Such language!"

---
*I don't know if they do or don't in reality, so I thought I'd make this a joke.

[Cloak]

I'm probably gonna finish this book today.  But don't hold me to that.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN:
This Is A Disaster . . . roid!*

The RAFian's utter reluctance to harm the innocents, even to get to Gemini, had led to an impasse.  They would not attack, yet they would not yield.  Gemini was starting to get petulant.  He was behaving more like a spoilt child than the ruthless conquerer he imagined himself to be.  And it was clear that Gemini was starting to bore of this impasse.

"I hope those three are really working fixing the Darwin gun, and just not dawdling." Cloak sighed quietly.

***

Suddenly, an exterior view of the workshop now shared by Goom, Yarin, and Aquilai.  All seems fine at first . . . but then purple clouds with brilliant gold stars issue from the windows after a loud explosion sound.

***

"I'm sure they're working diligently," Estelore assured him.

"What's a Darwin gun?"

"Later, Shadow!"

"Stop ignoring me!  I'll make these pawns to lewd and degenerate behavior!  I will!  Don't doubt me!" Gemini shouted, though Cloak noticed that he was back to using his own voice.

Estelore, Cloak, and Shadow didn't pay him no mind.  It was as if he was a child acting out to get attention -- and one who HATED being ignored.  Granted, he was getting bored with his pawn shield, and he knew that he should be relishing in the victory over the RAFians, but he couldn't enjoy it with them being so . . . so . . . so UNINTERESTED in it!!  Eventually, Gemini relaxed the dark hold he had over the people's minds, and basically told them to beat it.

Cloak narrowed his eyes at this, as he noticed it immediately.  He had a shrewd idea why he let them go.  He was finally bored enough to release his pawns, his hostages.  A hardened criminal would have never done it, but Gemini was hardly a hardened criminal.  He was an accustomed to having everything basically handed to him, apparently.

"Stop ignoring me!  I've let the people go.  Pay attention to me!  Pay attention to me!"

"You've let them go, but how do we know that you won't just recall them back when you are at a disadvantage again?" Shadow asked, rather coldly, turning her attention away from him.  She was learning.

"You have my word!"

"Your word is meaningless," Estelore said dismissively.

It was amazing how red Gemini's face could turn.  He quite literally looked like a cartoonish interpretation of a volcano going off.  He was incensed, enraged, and powerful.  Not a very stable combination.

"FINE!  Then DIE with all these intellectually-inferior ants!!" Gemini said, and he shut his rather massive eyes.  Then Cloak thought he could feel a telekinetic pulse, initially thinking it was aimed at him.  But soon realized, that Gemini's telekinetic powers were far stronger and powerful than he had anticipated.  For Gemini had telekinetically pulled loose, drifting asteroid onto a collison course with earth.

Clearly, he still did not understand the physiology of his opponents.  This recourse would only, really just spit the Realm Walkers out into the Nexus, and Estelore would easily survive it.  But Cloak was unsure of the survivability of his RAFian friends, and he KNEW that the native Earth life would never be able to survive . . . the asteroid seemed to be bigger than the one which ended the dinosaur's reign.  Perhaps some life would survive, but why take that chance?  Mass extinctions are never good for the species that must endure it.

"Estelore --"

"Oh, I'm on it!" she said, already halfway up in the air as Cloak spoke.

Cloak locked eyes on Gemini with the overlarge noggin, and spoke with a voice of cold fury, "You wanted us to pay attention to you?  You wanted our attention, eh?  Well, now you have it.  And you'll wish you'd never sought it out!!"

---
* Ever watch Esteban on "Sweete Life"?

[Underseen]

This is getting good... It's been awhile, but the wait was appropriate.

[Cloak]

Believe me, I couldn't wait myself.  But, other business to attend to and all that.  Maybe short.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:
Prototype Problems

"That's no good!" Yarin exclaimed, while the primitive Helen was confused about what just happened..  "All it did was turn her yellow!"

They had tried to fix the Darwin gun, but the beam wasn't quite right.  It was yellow and rather like a spray from a hose.  The three went and opened up the casing to find the problem -- a yellow ink cartridge in place of the emitter.  It was a rather embarrassing oversight on their part, but they would address the embarrassment at a far later date.

"Is it ready yet?" Parker asked, incessantly.

"NO!" the three shouted in unison.

"Well, what the hell are you waiting for!"

"Look, Parker," Goom said, shooing Parker down the hall, "we'd a lot more done without your grousing.  Now, get!  Go on, get!"

When Goom returned, the trio continued making their adjustments.  It took more time than they had anticipated, but they thought they had it squared away this time.  But the beam was too thick and misty, and it just turned Noelle into an Andalite-sized canary, which soon molted and she was back to her devolved state.

"Well, THAT didn't work," Aquilai said, wearily.

"Back to work, guys," Yarin said, with a sigh.

***

"Okay, guys, this is the twenty-seventh try, so . . . let's make it count!" Goom said.  The beam had done things like backfire and shock them, explode a little bit, and the like.

"Aim . . . both eyes open . . . and fire!" Aquilai muttered to himself.

Suddenly, Horse was restored to her bouncy, little seal self.  She dropped her Pinniped Dagger, as well -- no one knew where she stored that thing, and don't bother to ask, fearing the answer.

Horse still looked very dazed, "W-what happened?  Who hit me with that steamroller?"

"Later, Horse," Goom promised as the the trio worked to restore the others.  Helen shrieked after it she returned to normal, as she shirked her clothing as an Australopithecine, as the protohumans didn't wear clothing. . . .

"Aquilai, give her some clothes!" Goom scolded.  Aquilai complied shielding his eyes for Helen's sake.

"My . . . my ring!  Where's my ring!" Helen said, once appropriately clothed.

"Parker has it.  I'll send for him," Yarin said.

[Underseen]

The ring part was slightly romantic... Now that the RAFians have the Darwin gun and everyone's back to normal what happens now?

[Cloak]

Not everyone's back to normal, Underseen.  Gemini's still "Ultimate Gemini". . . . And the ring she was after was her Star Sapphire ring.  Parker and Helen aren't married, just dating.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN:
Cerulean's Delivery Service

"'Kay, now we need to get this to Cloak and Estelore as soon as possible," Aquilai said, unaware that Shadow had decided to join her uncle and the star.

Goom nodded, which looked very disorienting to see a Goomba do.  "Cerulean, you're needed in the lab."

Within seconds, Cerulean was there.

"Why are you wearing a Buckingham guard hat thing?" Yarin asked the RAFian speedster.

Cerulean looked surprised, and whipped the hat off his head.  Then he said, rather unconvincingly, "What hat?"

"The one you have behind your back."

"What hat?"

"Cerulean, I can read your mind."

"Uh . . . what hat?"

"Enough of that, you two." Goom said, stiffly.  "Cerulean, we need you to deliver something to Estelore and Cloak at these coordinates."

Aquilai handed him the Darwin gun daintily and carefully.  "Be extremely careful not to discharge it -- we fortunately added a regulation 'safety' mechanism that should prevent it from discharging when jostled."

"'Should'?" Cerulean inquired, taking the gun.

Aquilai, however, continued as if Cerulean hadn't spoken.  "And please do not intentionally discharge it -- we've enough troubles without dealing with hyperevolved frogs or saber-toothed squirrels."

"Right." Cerulean said, cautiously maneuvering the gun to be more easily carried.

Then Cerulean zips out of the lab, out of RAF, all the while a rather nice song played, seemingly unheard by anyone but the reader . . .

Blue streak speeds on by.
Cerulean the RAFian.
To fast for the naked eye.
Cerulean the RAFian.
Cerulean.
He can really move.
Cerulean.
He's got altitude.
Cerulean.
He's the fastest thing alive!
Look out!
He'll come through.
Cerulean the RAFian.
Don't doubt what he can do.
Cerulean the RAFian.
Cerulean.
He can really move.
Cerulean.
He's got the aptitude.
Cerulean the RAFian.
He's the fastest thing alive!
He's the fastest thing alive!
He's the fastest thing alive!

Soon enough, he's mere seconds away from the two . . . Realm Walkers?  Where'd Estelore go?
