Ch:42 - Real World - Final

When the cop came to arrest me and the girls he said it was fore murder, my dad told use to not say a word till his lawyer came. But I was numb, ''Murder? What murder?'' kept going through my mind as I sat in the cop car with Jade to my left(Sakura and May are in a different car). The traffic was bad that day as it was raining so it took us an hour the get to the station, as soon as we walked through the door a man in a expensive looking suit came over the the cops there were bringing us in.

lawyer:''Gentleman, I am Marcus Mane. I will be representing Mr.Yang and his friends.''

Cop#2:''You got to e kidding me, how did you get here so fast?''

muttering to them self's the cops took us to an interrogation room so we could talk to Mr.Mane. After the cop's left us alone Mr.Mane told us why we were here. Apparently around noon today someone(he did not know who) came to the station and gave our names and descriptions along with two others, naming us in the death and murder of my classmates. The weird part though was that normally the cops would gather evidence and check the witness/informants reliability before moving in to arrest someone, but for some reason they arrested us on the word of one person and were going to hold us as long as they could.

Mr.Mane:''I'll do what I can but you will most likely be here for 24 hours, that's the longest they can hold you with out evidence.''

As he was saying this he was smiling, trying to make us feel better. It didn't work. We didn't even have 5 hours till we would all die, we needed to get out of here now.

After Mr.Mane told us this he left saying he would do what he can, right after he left three cop's cam in. One was a man in his late 40's, he was balding and what hair he gad left was white in color. He was a little on the short side only 5'10'' with a pot belly. The other two were girls, the oldest looked to be in her mid 30's with short brown hair, she was a little chubby but not by much. The last girl was young, just out of the academy by the looks of it. She looked to be 23-25 at 5'11'', she had a athletic build with brown eye's and medium length hair that was dirty blond in color.

Old male cop:''We will take the girls to a holding cell, watch him till we get back then we will interrogate him first.''

After taking the girls away the rookie lend against the wall, watching me. My mind was racing.

Chris:[What should I do! Run out of here now? No that would leave the girls in danger. Do I attack some cop's so they can escape?]

With my mind the way it was I would ether do something stupid or with the fear I was in go into unlock mode, but someone stopped me.

Tama:[Master calm down you are being watched. Don't worry Tama is always with you.]

Chris:[Tama? How come I can hear you in my head?]

Tama:[It's the master servant bond. Now calm down. There are two men behind that weird glass, now this is what you need to do and every thing will be alright.]

Knowing Tama was with me I was able to calm down as I listened to her plan, it was good but it was one were every thing had to go right.

The waiting. That's what kills you. Every 15 minutes the two cop's that took the girls away would come back and try to get me to confess that I was guilty, they even tried to treating to blame the others if I didn't take the blame myself. While I had the cop's with me Tama would move(in her sprite form) around the station, trying to find every thing she needed for us to get away. It took a long time but with one hour till the return point opens(10pm) Tama was ready to go.

Tama was a genius, like she said it would as soon as it turned 10 all but the rookie left to get some food saying they will be back in a hour. The rookie was not to happy about it but said nothing, I guess she was use to it. For some reason when ever the cops left they would handcuff me to the table and this time was no exception. Though I could get out of the handcuff's at any time it still pissed me off that they did it. They had no right or proof that I was guilty but I was still treated like this, and what about the girls? Tama told them to wait for me or her to give them the signal before doing anything but.

Putting my fears aside I waited for a couple of minutes after the cops left before I made my move. Tama let me know that the ones behind the glass as she put it left a 9 so now that no one was looking I mad my move, as soon as the rookie turned her back to me I broke the handcuff's and moved right behind her. Channeling lighting mana into my right hand I place it on her back. I kept the mana as low as I could but she still twitched like mad as the electric current went through her body. I could tell that she would be out for hours before she would be able to tell anyone what happened here.

Tama:''Master that was done wonderfully I new you could do it!''

As soon as she stopped twitching I caught her in my arms before she fell over, as I was putting her down Tama appeared. She was trying to make me feel better but I was still down, she was an innocent. Sadly I didn't have time to come to terms with hurting the rookie, I needed to get to the girls fast so we could get out of here. Fallowing Tama's plan I start to take the rookie's clothes off and no I did not take her underwear. As soon as I had her uniform I used the new skill I got from God but never used. ''Polymorph'' with it I could look like anyone I wanted, as soon as I used the spell my body started to change, it didn't but it was not a pleasant feeling ether. First my body started to get smaller, since I was not that much bigger it only took a moment. Then my hair changed, it was the same length so only the color changed to mach her's, the same happened for my face and eye's. First my face rounded out to take a more feminine look my eye's also changed to mach her brown ones. My body went through the final changes, it took on her athletic build before it went to my chest. This is the change I wanted to avowed the most, but I did not have the skill over the spell to do it and I needed to look exactly like her(I'm afraid to even think of what happened to Chris Jr).

It started as a worm feeling in my chest, but changed to a heavy and tight feeling. In moments what was a flat guys chest now was a girls chest, I couldn't be sure but if I had to guess I would say they were C-cups. The whole posses only took 25 seconds, but it felt like hours. Before my mind could think to long about my body I put the cloths I was wearing into my Na-ring(thank god they didn't take it after they searched me) and with out looking and as little touching as possible I put the rookie's cloths on.

It felt weird in a girls body,it took me a minute to get my balance with the extra weight on my chest but I got use to it fast. After moving the rookie's body to a place you would be unable to see unless you were in the room I leave to find my friends.

I WAS SWETTING BUCKETS, as Tama lead me through the station other cop's would come and talk to me or ask me questions. Some I was able to answer thanks to Tama but others were tricky. All in all I was happy to get away from the other cop's and to get to were the girls are.

It took me 15 minutes to get to the room that leads to the cells. The cells are built at the back of the station with only one entry and exit, in front of the door to the cells was one guard. He had the keys for the door and the cell, I could stun him like I did the rookie but he would be deceived fast so I want to try and avoid that if I can.

Guard:''What are you doing here rookie?''

I kind of felt bad for the girl, everyone that came to talk to me always called me rookie. It was like no one new her name or cared to learn it.

Chris:''The chief asked me to bring the suspects to a interaction room for him.''

Guard:''Oh he wants to see them now.''

The guard turns around and uses his keys to open the door for me, before going in he tells me something that caches my interest.

Guard:''Take them if you want but just between you and me, the chief and some of the others have bin acting weird ever since they talked to that bond kid. I tell you, even if they all confess there lawyer will get the case thrown out for not fallowing the proper procedure.''

Taking what the guard said with what Mr.Mane said then who ever this blond kid is he is manipulating the cop's for some reason. The weird thing is that on the word blond kid Shin's face came to mind, I could only hope that I was wrong.

Chris:''Ready to go girls?''

As soon as I closed the door behind me I went right to the cell door and opened it so we could leave. But the girls did not move, they just stared at me with a look that screamed ''is he crazy?''.

Chris:[Tama. Did you forget to tell them anything?]

Tama:[.....Sorry tehe.]

My head hurts. For what ever reason Tama forgot to let them know I was coming in this form, since we didn't have time to fight I told them flat.

Chris:''Guy's it's me, Chris. I took the form of the cop that was watching me. We need to get out of here now were are almost out of time.''

I had Tama appear next to me to show them that I was telling the truth, there reasons were less then helpful.

Sakura:''Why do you have a bigger chest then me?''

May:''Looking good.''

Jade:''C..Chris..hahaha..w..why are you a girl hahaha!''

We realty didn't have time for this but I know that they needed to get it out of there system. While May and Jade made fun of me Sakura pouted while saying things under her breath. After they finally settled down Tama told us the next step in the plan, short and sweet I need to lead them out of here with out drawing to much attention to myself.

Putting handcuffs on the girls and leading them out of the cell was the easy part, getting them out of the station was another mater. After passing the guard I started to head out of the station, at first I was going to get a car but jade told me they could track a cop car and I would still need to get the key's if I did not want to draw attention to myself.

So we decided to go for the back door. As I was going through the station I tried to avoid the other cop's as much as I could, when ever one would come up to me to ask what I was doing I would say the same thing I did as with the guard ''I'm taking them to the chief''. Surprisingly after I tell that to all the cop's that I ran into they all said the same thing the guard said as fare as I could tell only the chief and the two cop's that were with the rookie were acting weird, but since the three of them were the highest ranking officers all they could do was fallow orders.

All was going well at first, we got past all the cop's, out the back door and were about to leave the property when the alarms sounded. We didn't have time to wait and see if it was about us so we just ran as fast as we could.

Sakura:''How much time do we have left and were should we go?''

May:''The return point will open in 30 minutes, we can make it to the school in 35.''

When May mentioned the school the thing about the blond kid went through my head again.

Chris:''I think we should got to your work instead Jade.''

I then got to tell them all the things I found out at the station. They were not to happy about it, but Jade said she still believes that the school is still the better choose.

Jade:''My work is over an hour away and I left my car at your parents place, there's no way we can go back there at the moment. As it is only you with your Polymorph spell or maybe May with her Shadow step skill would be able to make it, but not me or Sakura with the cop's looking for us. But the most importing part is my work closed at 9pm, to get in we would have to break in and get to the top floor(her old room was on the 60 floor). If we break in the alarms will go off and the cops will come, with them we would have to take the stare. If everything went ok we would just make it but it's too close for my liking, so I still say the school is the better option. At least we will have time to make a plan if needed.''

I had to give it to Jade, she thinks things through fast. After what she said I had to agree with her plan to go to the school and the others did as well.

It took 50 minutes to get to the school leaving us with 40 left, because we tried to say in the alleyways so we would not be seen it took us some extra time to get to the school. I also took the opportunity to go back to normal, since we didn't have the time I switched to my armor instead of my old cloths.

My suspicion was right, in front of all the entrances were five cop's. There were also cop's paroling the parking lot and around the windows, after seeing all the cops we move away from the school so we could talk.

Chris:''So mastermind, whats the plan?''

Jade sat there for a moment to think before answering.

Jade:''We can do one of three things.

1.Send Tama to scout around and find a opening for us to sneak in.

2.Find a window to get in through, knock out any cop around it.

3.Fores our way in.

So which do you want to fallow?''

Before I could answer I saw someone heading to the school. IT WAS SHIN!!!. I wasn't sure at first but as soon as I saw that evil smile of his with that blond hair I new it was him. But what surprised me more was when he went to talk to the cop's, THEY LET HIM IN! He just talked to them for a second before they gave him a respectful bow and let him in. I went back to the others and told them what I saw.

May:''I say we rush in and get out of here, then we find Shin and make him talk.''

Sakura:''I think we should use Tama wand wait, Shin's not going anywhere.''

Jade:''I agree with Sakura.''

Chris:''No we need to leave now but through the side.''

before they could say anything I told them my reason's.

1.There was no guarantee that Tama would find a way in for us, and there was the potability that we would be fawned or more cop's would come.

2.If we attack them we would become wanted and would likely never be able to come back.

As soon as I told them the reasons we needed to move now the agreed right away. Tama lead us to the back of the school, in front of us was a glass room filed with plants. It was the agriculture class room, and there was only one cop guarding it. Taking one look around to see if any of the patrolling cops were close I ran and the lone guard. Till now I was always fighting someone stronger or faster then me, but now I can see how fast I have become. As I ran at the guard, it was like the world was moving in slow motion, as I ran I felt like I was running through water, like the air it's self was trying to slow me down, like it was the only thing stopping me from something more.

In a way I liked and hated the feeling, but I didn't have time to dwell on it. If you were to blink you would have mist everything, in a signal second I moved from the bushes we were hiding behind and appeared behind the guard. Like with the rookie I channeled lightning mana in my hand and shock him till he passes out.

Signaling the others to come over I take a look into the room to see if there are any guards in it, seeing that the room was empty I started to channel fire mana into my hand to melt the glass. You mite be asking why we just didn't have May just ''Shadow jump'' us in? The answer is simple, she can't. There can be no shadows with out light, and the room was pitch black.

It took only a minute for me to melt the glass for use to go through, I let the others go in first as I kept a look out for more patrolling guards. All was going well and I hoped that we would get out of here before the guard I knocked out was found. I was not that lucky, just as I was about to go in Tama yelled in my head.

Tama:[MASTER BEHIND YOU!!]

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Before I could even turn around I felt multiple impacts on my back, they hurt, but not by much. If I had to compare it to anything I would say it was like being slapped, with my armor and Muscle Density as high as it is normal hand guns were unable to penetrate my skin. Bruising yes, but my Cell Vitality took care of any of that.

After feeling the hits I look behind me and see two cop's, one had a gun pointed at me and the other was talking on the walkie talkie on his shoulder. I jump through the window hole as the cop takes another shot at me, some thing was definitely wrong with the cop's. They had no reason to fire at me, the guard I knocked out was moved to the bushes by the girls so that the other guards would not find him till we were gone.

Chris:''Run!''

After landing in the agriculture classroom I yell at the others to run, since one of the guards was talking on the walkie talkie I new that the other guards would be here any second. Running through the hallway as fast as we could(as fast as Jade), it didn't take more then a minute to get to the computer room.

But luck was still against us, the door to the computer room was closed and locked with two guards in front of it pointing guns at us.

Chris:''Sakura the door!''

After telling Sakura to take care of the door I made my move, before they could fire at us I used a Flash step to move in between them and like I did to the others I shook them with low level lighting mana.

As I was taking care of the guards Sakura used her movement skill and appeared in front of the door, zanpakutō in hand she cut's the door into pieces. She was done with the door at the same time I was done with the guards, I was about to go in and get back to the God's Lobby when I see a cop about to shoot Jade who was the furthest away from the room. Acting on instinct I enterd the unlock mode and used Flash Step to get between them and Jade, I got there just as he started to fire at Jade.

As the bullets hit me I make a ball of wind mana in my hand and throw it at the cop, it hits him right in the chest sending him flying back six meters. As he was flying back I see that more cop's are coming our way, we only had five more minutes before our time was up. To stop the cop's I made a wall of fire in there path to stop there moments long enough for us to get away.

After making that wall of fire I turn around and run for the computer room, as I was running I could hear and feel that the cop's behind me were shooting at me. As I was passing Jade I picked her up so she wouldn't get hit by the bullets, seeing that me and Jade would be there soon May and Sakura jump into the room. Keeping Jade in front of me I run as fast as I can, I make it to the room with two minutes to spare and with out looking back I jump in.

Back in the terminal lobby my body starts shaking as is sends pain through my body, it hurt but compared to the other times not as much and I got over it fast. The whole time I was shacking I kept my eye's on Shin who was sweating and muttering to himself, after the pain went away I got up and started to walk towards Shin.

Shin:''You can't be here, it's not possible!''

After saying that Shin tried to run into his room, before he was able to take two steps I Flash Stepped right to him. Picking him up by the neck I slammed him against the wall next to his room.

Normally I can stay come and in control of my emotions, but after the day I just had I could not stop my self.

Chris:''WHAT DID YOU DO!!''

As I start screaming at him the others come over to hear what he has to say, when e saw them he started began them to help him. But they all herd what he said and trusted me, seeing that no one was going to help him he started to spill the beans like the coward he is.

Shin:''He told me to do it, he said he saw my great potential and was going to help me get what is rightfully mine!''

Chris:''WHO TOLD YOU? WHAT DID HE HAVE YOU DO?''

Shin:''I don't know his name, he only told me he was called the ''Shadow King''. He told me all I needed to do was get the cop's to stop you from getting to the return point and I would be in charge here, so I went to the cop's and used my charm on them and told them to keep you for 24 hours and to use what ever fores is necessary. That's what was supposed to happen, I should be in charge, I deserve it not you.''

Mad was not a strong enough word to describe how I was feeling, furious, blood thirsty. I was tired of his shit, it was the same as the first mission, he would go on about how he was better then every one and should be in charge. But all he did was hide behind others and let them die for him. I wont lie, I wanted to kill him. I was seeing red and every cell in my body was yelling for me to end him. But then I looked at the others, staring at me, trusting me. But it was Reaper and his family that stopped me, his wife was covering the eye's of there kids so then would not see anything, and looking at Reaper I remembered what he told me when I called him for advise on killing people.

Reaper:''In the army you get taught how to kill, but also when to kill. If you have to kill to keep you or the ones you care about safe and alive don't hesitate. But always ask yourself this, do I need to kill them? Is there another way to remove the threat? Never kill just because it's easier or you don't like them. If you do, then you will be a monster just like them.''

Chris:''I'm not going to kill you Shin, but it's over. You come near me again you die, you come near the others you die. On the next mission you even look at the newbies you die. You are on you own from now on.''

After I said that I throw him on the ground and watched him run into his room.

May:''Are you sure you did the right thing?''

Chris:''Ya, with out his human shields he wont survive the next mission.''

Jade:''I'm more worried about what he said.''

Looking over at Jade I could see she really was worried.

Jade:''Who ever this ''Shadow King'' is knows about God and what's happening here. That means we mite not be the only ones fighting in missions.''

What she said made us all freeze and think, but in the end there was nothing we could do so we put it on hold for now and spent the last few days training and helping the others out. Bedsides all that Jade took some of our blood to run test, and that's how the last of our day here went. Standing in the terminal lobby waiting for the next mission. As if waiting for us as soon as we are all there 20 beams of light appear in front of us.

God:”Enter beams in 20 seconds.”

God:”Destination Magi the Labyrinth of Magic.”
