The Guyver's Angel of
the Night
Part 5
Statue of
Liberty
"Here
we are." Brooklyn said as he landed
on Liberty's head.
"This
is wonderful, Brooklyn." Mizuki
said. "I'm glad you brought
me
here."
"Me
too." He said.
Mizuki
looked at the city across the ocean. It
looked so beautiful and
peaceful.
"Mizuki,
I have something I want to tell you."
Brooklyn said.
"What
is it?" Mizuki asked.
Brooklyn
took in a deep breath. He looked a
little nervous, but
confident. "I been wanting to tell
you this for a long time." He
said. "When I first saw you, I
thought that you are the most beautiful
creature alive."
Mizuki
blushed. "Thank you,
Brooklyn." Was all she could
say.
"I'm
not finished." Brooklyn said. He didn't say it in a hateful way,
just a truthful way. "I never felt
this way about anybody before. I
love you."
Tears
came to Mizuki's eyes. What he said
really touched her, but she
didn't love him back. She knew what she
had to do.
"Brooklyn,
I. . ." Mizuki started to say, but
was cutoff by Brooklyn.
"Please
let me finish." He said as he came
closer to Mizuki. "I want
us to become mates. I really think we
can live together in the castle."
Brooklyn gently pulled Mizuki close
to him. Mizuki looked up at him.
She could tell by looking into his eyes that he really loved her. Tears
streamed down Mizuki's cheeks.
"Think
about it, Mizuki." Brooklyn
said. "You'll be protected
from
Chronos."
Mizuki
looked up at him. Her eyes were
wide. "Protection from
Chronos? But there is no protection from
Chronos."
"Yes
there is." Brooklyn said in a
serious tone. "I believe
Elisa
told you about a magical island called Avalon."
"Yes,
she did." Mizuki said.
"If
Chronos gives you anymore trouble, Puck can send us to Avalon."
Brooklyn said. "There are other
gargoyles and Faes there that will be
happy to take us in. Chronos won't be
able to follow you there. Think
about it, Mizuki, if you go to Avalon, you'll never have to worry about
Chronos hurting you again. We can even
take your brother and your
friends."
Mizuki
thought about this. Was it possible that
she wouldn't have to
worry about Chronos hurting her or her friends again?
"Sho
and I could live together in peace."
Mizuki thought. "Except it
wouldn't be Sho and me, it would be Brooklyn and me."
"I
can't." Mizuki said.
"Avalon
can be a weird place at first, but you'll get use to it."
Brooklyn said.
"It's
not Avalon." Mizuki said. "I can't become your mate because
I
don't love you."
Brooklyn
was silent. He didn't say
anything.
"I'm
sorry." Mizuki said. "It wouldn't work out between
us."
"Why?" He asked.
"Brooklyn,
I don't want to live the rest of my life as a gargoyle."
Mizuki said. "I'm a human
being. And I want to change back into
one as
soon as Puck shows up."
"What's
wrong with being a gargoyle?" He
asked.
"Nothing." Mizuki said.
"I wasn't born a gargoyle, I was born a
human. And I want to live the rest of my
days as a human." She thought
for minute then said, "And there
are other reasons. I want to see
the
day light again. I miss feeling the heat
of the sun against my skin. I
hate that I can only see my brother during the night. I would never be
happy." She thought for minute and
said, "Plus, I think I love
Sho."
She
looked up and looked into Brooklyn's eyes saw disappointment, hurt,
anger, and sadness.
"Can't
you a least give me a chance?"
Brooklyn asked.
"No." Mizuki said with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry."
"Please." Brooklyn pleaded kneeling before her, holding
her talon in
his. "Just give me a chance. Please."
"Brooklyn,
please don't do this." Mizuki
said. "I can't love you when
I love someone else."
"FINE!!!" Brooklyn yelled. "Okay, if you don't love me than I
don't
love you!"
"Brooklyn,
. . ." Mizuki started, but Brooklyn
cut her off.
"You
don't have to say anymore."
Brooklyn said. "Because
I'm
leaving. You can go home by
yourself."
Mizuki
felt a little angry. "Fine with
me. I don't need you. I've
never needed you and I never wanted you."
Brooklyn
jumped off Liberty's head and glided toward the Eyrie
building.
Mizuki
sat down and thought about what just happen.
"It's
not my fault if I don't love him."
She thought to herself.
"I
never loved him."
Castle Wyvern
"Hey,
Brooklyn, where's Mizuki?" Broadway
asked when he saw Brooklyn
landing on a parapet.
"H***
if I know." Brooklyn said as he
walked inside.
He
walked past Elisa and Angela. They could
sense something was wrong
with him.
As
soon as Brooklyn got into his room, he began to trash it. He
grabbed his posters and tore them apart.
Flipped his bed over and tore
the blankets to shreds. He heard a knock
at the door.
"Brooklyn,
is something wrong?" Came Elisa's
voice.
"NO,
NOTHING IS WRONG." He yelled. "EVERYTHING IS FINE. JUST FINE.
LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!"
The
door slowly opened and Elisa stepped in.
"For some reason, I don't
think that is true." She said
studying the room.
"I'm
sorry if I yelled at you." Brooklyn
apologized. "Something
happened."
Brooklyn
sat on his flipped over mattress and buried his face into his
talons. Elisa sat beside him.
"What
happened?" She asked.
"I
told Mizuki I loved her and she turned me down." Brooklyn said.
"Oh." Elisa said.
Elisa felt sorry for Brooklyn.
She knew this was
the third time that Brooklyn got turned down by a girl.
"What's
wrong with me?" Brooklyn said. "Why don't women like me?"
"I
don't know." Elisa said
truthfully.
"I
don't understand." Brooklyn
said. "Mizuki and I had it
made. We
would have become mates if Puck didn't bring Sho here."
"Are
you sure about that?" Elisa
asked.
"Yes." Brooklyn said stubbornly.
"I
don't think so." Elisa said. "I think she loved him for while
and
didn't realized it until tonight."
Brooklyn
was quiet. Then he said, "Can I please be alone?"
"Sure." Elisa said.
She stood up and quietly left the room.
Statue of
Liberty
"Great. The sun is coming up. Now I can't go home now." Mizuki said
as she watched the raising sun.
The
sun rose and Mizuki turned to stone.
The city's
streets
"Where
did she go?" Zek-Toll asked
searching the skies.
"I
don't know." Darzerb said.
"Well,
this is just great." Elegen
said. "Now we get to keep
searching until we find her again."
The Eyrie
building
"Where's
Mizuki?" Tetsuro asked
Xanatos.
"I
don't know." He said. "Why do you ask?"
"I
went outside to where the gargoyles are stone and I didn't see
her." Tetsuro said.
"Did
you search the castle? Sometimes the
gargoyles don't make it
outside before the sun rises."
Xanatos asked.
"Yes." Tetsuro said.
"All I found was Brooklyn in a trashed room."
"She
probably went out last night and didn't return before the sun
rose." Xanatos said. "She's probably roosting on top of a
building
somewhere."
"You're
sure?" Tetsuro asked
uncertain.
"Yes." Xanatos said.
"I'm sure she is perfectly safe."
Statue of Liberty;
Sunset
Mizuki
burst out of her stone skin. She
stretched her limbs and
wings. Then she sat down and began to
think.
"I
got to do something before things get worse." She thought to
herself. "I think the best thing to
do would be to go back to the
castle and get Puck to change me back and remove the Transformation Lock
from Sho and Agito, then go home. I
don't think I can face Brooklyn
again. And once we get home, I'll tell
Sho how I feel. Then everything
will go back to normal. I'll be human
and Sho and Agito can go back to
fighting monsters."
She
stood and felt proud of herself for thinking her problems out and
coming up with a solution. She took off
into the night sky and headed
for the Eyrie building.
Castle
Wyvern
"Has
Mizuki come back yet?" Angela asked
Guyver1.
"No,
not yet." Guyver1 said. He was beginning to worry about Mizuki.
"Brooklyn
might know where she is." Angela
suggested. As if he heard
his name, Brooklyn landed beside them.
"Sho,
there is something I need to tell you."
Brooklyn said. He
turned his head to look at Angela. "It's
kinda private."
"Okay." Angela said.
She reluctantly left them.
"What
is it?" Guyver1 said. "If it's about that fight we had,
then
I'm sorry."
"No,
it isn't about that." Brooklyn
said. "It's about
Mizuki."
"Is
something wrong?" Guyver1
asked.
"Yes
and no." Brooklyn said. "Something happened last night that
I
think you should know about. Last night,
I took Mizuki to the Statue of
Liberty. I asked her to be my mate
there."
He
looked at Guyver1 to see his reactions.
Guyver1 didn't say
anything, but look at Brooklyn.
Brooklyn
looked at Guyver1 and said, "She
turned me down."
"What?!" Guyver1 said, surprise. "I thought that you two were. .
."
"Yeah,
that's what I thought." Brooklyn
said. "She said she couldn't
be my mate, because she didn't want to spend the rest of her life as a
gargoyle and she wanted to be with her brother." Brooklyn looked at
Guyver1 and said, "And she said
that she loved you."
Guyver1
was stunned. He didn't know what to
say. Everything inside of
him was cheering and wanted to celebrate, but a part of him thought this
was some kind of joke.
"She
said that?" He asked.
"Yes." Brooklyn said. "After she said that, I begged her to
give me a
chance and try to love me like she loves you, but she said no. I got
mad and left her there. When I got home,
I threw a fit in my room and
trashed the place. Elisa came and talked
to me. She told me things
that really opened my eyes.
Guyver1
looked into Brooklyn's eyes and saw tears forming. "I always
knew that Mizuki didn't love me, but I denied it. I got myself to
believe that in time she would come to love me.
I thought that maybe if
I asked her to be my mate she would say yes and we would live happily
ever after. Like some fairy tale. But I had NO idea that she loved
you."
Guyver1
didn't know what to say. He was happy
that Mizuki loved him,
but he was also sad that she had to hurt Brooklyn to reveal her true
feelings.
He
put a hand on Brooklyn's shoulder and said,
"I'm sorry."
"Don't
be." Brooklyn said. "It's not your fault. It's no one's
fault. We can't control Mizuki's
love."
Above the
city
"I'm
almost there." Mizuki thought as
she glided toward the castle.
Suddenly,
a net sprang from a building and caught her.
Mizuki screamed
in surprise and pain. The cords of the
net were cutting into her skin.
She
struggled, but only got her self even more tangled in the net. She
tried to glide, but her wings were tangled.
She fell from the sky and
landed in an alley. She looked up to see
Quarrymen surrounding her with
electric mallets. Angela had told her
about them on the second day she
arrived.
"LET
ME GO!!!" She screamed and tried to
get out of the net.
"Shut
up you little demon." The nearest
Quarryman said as he kicked
her in the stomach. The kick knocked all
the breath out of her.
"Looks
like we got ourselves a little female."
One of them said.
"It's
going to be a dead female in a minute."
The Quarryman that
kicked her said as he raised his mallet above her body.
"How
nice of you to catch her for us."
Said a male's voice behind
them. The Quarryman looked to see the
Hyper Zoanoid Team 5 standing in
the entrance of the alley. It was
Zek-Toll who spoke.
"I
believe we'll take this creature with us now." Gastor said.
"We've
been looking for her." Thancrus
said.
"This
monster isn't going anywhere." Said
a Quarryman. "We're going
to kill it right now."
"Oh,
I don't think so." Zek-Toll
said. "We want this creature
alive
and we're going to take her whether you want us to or not."
"All
monsters must die." The
Quarryman. "They are a menace to
our
society. We must eliminate these filthy
diseased demons before they
kill us humans."
The
Hyper Zoanoids Team 5 looked insulted for a second then they
smiled.
"So
you think we're humans too, huh?"
Zek-Toll said with a sly smile.
The
Quarrymen looked a little surprise at what he said. Then one of
them said, "Yes." Zek-Toll and his comrades laughed.
"Let
me tell you something." Zek-Toll
said. "We're not humans at
all. Or at least not normal humans. Thancrus, show them what we mean."
Thancrus smiled as he burst out of
his clothes. The Quarrymen
screamed
in terror. Mizuki closed her eyes. She could hear the Quarymen
screaming in horror and the sounds of a blade sinking into flesh. She
opened her eyes when the screams stopped.
She saw Thancrus standing
proudly over slaughtered bodies. Blood
was all over the pavement. She
could see the intestines on the ground.
Mizuki fought the urge to puke.
"Bring the van around,
Darzerb." Zek-Toll said.
Darzerb
left. A few minutes later a green van
Zek-Toll and Elegen
picked Mizuki up and threw her into the back of the van. Thnacrus
stepped in and cut Mizuki out of the net.
Mizuki
untangled herself from the net and examined her body. The cords
of the net and cut through her clothes and into her skin. Her skin was
zigzag with cuts and they hurt.
"Just
sit still and stay quiet and we may not hurt you." Zek-Toll said
as he got into the van with Mizuki. Mizuki saw that he was holding a
syringe.
"W.
. .What are you going to do?" She
asked backing away from him.
"Just
going top make you sleep for a while."
He said. "Hold
still."
He reached out and grabbed her arm and plunge the needle into her skin.
She screamed in pain and fear. She
collapsed, unconscious.
Castle
Wyvern
"She
still hasn't come back yet, has she?"
Guyver3 asked Guyver1, who
was staring out into the sky.
"No." He said.
He was expecting at any moment to see a brown figure
coming toward the castle. "I can't
stand this. I'm going to find
her."
"Wait." Guyver3 said putting a hand on Guyver1's
shoulder. "Let's
tell Xanatos or Fox. I'm sure they'll
help us look for her."
"All
right." Guyver1 said.
They
both headed toward Xanatos's office.
When they entered, they saw
Puck and Alex instead. Punk was floating
and so was Alex.
"That's
it." Puck said to Alex. "You're doing great. Just
concentrate and you'll be able to fly like a birdie."
"Wheee!!" Alex said as he floated higher. The Guyvers stared for a
second at this strange sight before they came to their senses.
"PUCK!!!" Guyver3 yelled, ejecting his blades.
"WAIT!!" Guyver1 yelled grabbing Guyver3 an holding
him back. "We
could use his help."
"Help
on what?" Puck asked floated toward
them. Alex followed.
"Mizuki
is missing." Guyver1 said. "She hasn't come back since last
night."
"What
do you want me to do about it?"
Puck asked.
"Could
you look for her?" Guyver1
asked. "You may be able to go
to
places that we and the gargoyles can't go."
"True." Puck said.
"I like to help, but I can't."
"Why
not?" Guyver1 asked.
"In
case you haven't heard, I can only use my poweres to teach Alex
magic and to protect him" Puck said
putting a hand on Alex's head.
"Could
you take Alex with you?" Guyver1
asked. "That way you could
teach how to fly outside."
"Yes,
I can." Puck said. "We'll find Mizuki. C'mon Alex."
Alex
giggled and floated closer to Puck. Puck
made themselves
invisible to mortal eyes and left.
In the city
They
traveled through the city and to the Statue of Liberty. Then they
looked for her at the airport. They
heard men arguing and went to
investigate
"The
jet won't be able to leave in an hour so hold your horses." Said
a man to Zek-Toll who wanted to leave America as soon as possible.
"Just
get that thing ready soon, or else."
Zek-Toll snapped and went
inside the jet.
"I
recognize that mortal. He's a member of
the Hyper Zoanoid Team 5."
Puck said. "Let's see what they
have in that jet, Alex."
They
went through the outside of the jet and looked.
They found Mizuki
in a small cage, sleeping. She had a big
bruise on her stomach and many
cuts and scratched on her body.
"Lets
go tell the others." Puck said to
Alex. "We'll have to get
there quick or Mizuki'll be in Japan by morning. I'll use the
transportation spell. Something you'll
learn when you're older." He
raised his hands above his head and said some words in Latin. They
disappeared in a cloud of blue smoke.
Castle
Wyvern
"When
will they be back?" Lexington asked
impatiently. Guyver1 and
Guyver3 told the gargoyles of what Puck and Alex were doing. Guyver1,
Guyver3, Angela, Goliath, Hudson, the Trio, and Bronx were waiting for
them in Xanatos's office.
"It'll
take a while for Puck to search, lad."
Hudson said. "This
city
is huge and it will take even a fae a while to search the whole
city."
Right
then, Puck and Alex appeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Did
you find her?" Guyver1 asked.
"Yes." Puck said.
"She's been capture by the Hyper Zoanoid Team 5 and
she's going to be taken to Japan in an hour."
"Is
she all right?" Angela asked.
"She
was asleep in a cage." Puck
said. "She had a bruise on
her
stomach and cuts on her body, but I think she's all right."
"Can
you teleport us there?" Broadway
asked.
"Yes." Puck said.
He said the same words in Latin and all the beings
in the office disappeared in a huge cloud of blue smoke.
