Chapter 2
A/N: Reminder! Italics means that Marinette, Tikki, or the elder is Talking!
"Where did they come from!?" Yelled Marinette as she pointed at the glowing ball. The elder chuckled at her reaction.
"What?" Asked Marinette. "Oh nothing," replied the elder.
"Ohohoho, I am a little outnumbered... aren't I?" Said the elder as he was relaxed about the group of assassins surrounding him getting ready to attack at any time. As for the elder... he just continued to drink his heavenly tea with a face of bliss.
A few minutes passed, the group of assassins and the elder were still in their positions from when the first assassin died. Then the elder reached for the pot of tea, only for an assassin to throw.
The assassin ran up to the elder and tried to attack him only to know avail as the elder dodged all the attacks. Another assassin joined in trying to do the same thing to the elder. Only for the same result. Time passed by as all the assassins did the same thing. Trying to hurt the elder. Only for him to dodge the attacks all together. During this the elder kept on drinking his tea during the fight.
During the fight the elder knocked out the assassins one by one until they were all down for the count.
As soon as the last assassin fell a bunch of monks came rushing out the sliding door only to see every single intruder on the ground unconscious. And for the elder drinking his tea again.
One of the younger monks told the others to get the intruders and lock them up somewhere. They did as told and took every single intruder out of the room. And the monk told the elder that they will make sure this does not happen again. The monk then exits the room.
The elder waited until he heard no more footsteps. "I know you're up there. Come on down young one," said the elder as the last intruder landed on the ground. Based on the features seen it looked to be a young female in her 20s.
"Don't worry young one, they are gone," said the elder as he magically drank more tea out of a tea cup that came out of nowhere. The last assassin was hesitant to talk due to the amount of tension gathering up in the air by the second.
Then when the elder offered the female some tea, she was hesitant. Especially because one of her teammates was knocked out just from drinking the tea.
As the elder was drinking his tea, he noticed that the young assassin was way too hesitant to drink the tea. Nevertheless, sit down on the floor. He then reassured her that the tea wasn't tampered with. Especially since he doesn't know why himself. Heck, every single time someone drinks his tea they either throw up or pass out on the floor. But besides that he was pretty sure the tea was safe enough to drink. Putting that thought aside, he still sat waiting for the assassin to do anything.
After a few minutes of silence the assassin finally spoke, taking off her mask. "和 (Hé)... My name is 和(Hé)...," said the assassin as she finally sat down to take a drink of the tea the elder offered. When drinking the tea, small tears formed in her eyes. She then gulped down the tea made by the elder. When she finished drinking the tea, she placed the cup back on the table. When she placed the cup on the table rivers started falling from her eyes, then on to the ground.
"It's good," Said 和 (Hé). The elder was grateful that the young assassin drank his tea without becoming sick or passing out. But most importantly he wondered why the young one shedded tears.
"Tell me...," started the elder as he took a sip of his tea, getting the attention of the young assassin. "Why must you cry from just tea?" asked the elder. The assassin then looked the elder in the eye before saying. "It reminds me of my parents," replied 和 (Hé).
"They were killed when I was young by a pack of wolves," said 和 (Hé) as more tears came down her face. "They died protecting me and my brother... we had no other choice," soon a stream of tears ran down her face and ended up on the floor. Soon enough she was sobbing, having to be reminded of her parents death that happened right in front of her eyes.
"That must've been so hard for her," said Tikki as she imagined being separated from Marinette forever.
"Tell me young one, what happened to your brother?" asked the elder. Even though 和 (Hé) was sobbing her eyes out, she slowly but surely stopped crying. Not completely, but enough so that she can talk.
"He's bedrithin... we had no money for medicine, nevertheless food," said 和 (Hé). "But what choice did I have? I had to become an assassin for money, to pay for my brother's medical fees. He's... all I have left," said 和 (Hé). A small amount of time passed before the Elder thought of something.
"Can you take me to your brother? I can help him in the best way I can, maybe even cure him of his illness," said the elder. A little shine of hope appeared in 和 (Hé) face as she looked up at the elder.
"Can you really heal him?" asked 和 (Hé). As she was still unsure to trust him enough to see her brother that is bedrithin. The elder nodded back at her.
"That poor girl!" Said Tikki as she was crying her eyes out.
"I don't know, but... this seems a little fishy to me," said Marinette as she gave a stink eye at the glass ball. 'I mean, for crying out loud! This sounded like it came out of a movie!' thought Marinette as multiple thoughts went around her head, causing her to get sidetracked from the glass ball.
Big Time Skip: Later
As the elder and 和 (Hé) were walking to the young assasin's house. 和 (Hé) seemed a bit tense or was it nervousness? Whatever it was the elder would ask her later on why she was so tense on the walk to her home. To her sickly brother.
Then a traditional looking chinese house came into view. As they neared the entrance, the elder could feel multiple other presences around the area. Like they were waiting for the right time to strike like a snake slowly sneaking up on its prey.
"Let me guess....," started Marinette as she put her hand on her chin acting like she was thinking, even though in reality she already knew what was going to happen.
"Once you and this '和 (Hé)' person walk through those doors, you would get ambushed. And then it turns out that the assassin was just using that story to lure you in to distract you to help her supposedly sick brother. And then the assassin will just start spilling the beans on why they lure you in," said Marinette. "And if I had to guess... they distracted you, so that they can get into the monastery to take the miraculouses, but instead they end up breaking the miraculouses instead. Ultimately making all of these so called 'Quirks'," explained Marinette.
"Well then I guess we don't need to see the rest seeing as you just explained everything," replied the elder as the crystal ball disappeared from sight.
"Now then, before you wake up. You need to know that you have the power to take quirks away by storing their powers inside an object or some kind of jewelry. And to do that you need to imagine their powers being sucked into the object you so desired. Do you understand that this should not be used carelessly?" said the elder. Marinette nodded.
"Good, now goodbye," replied the elder as Tikki's and Marinette's vision turned black as they fell to the non existing floor.
A/N: From this point the text is going to be in normal text.
As Marinette slowly opened her eyes, to see a blinding white light. She quickly shut her eyes before opening them and closing to allow her eyes to readjust to the light. As Marinette's eyes finally readjusted to the bright lights. She looked to her right to see her classmates, but only a few of them. She then sat up, looking around the room. As Marinette looked around, it seemed to be a nurse's office?
When Marinette looked around a third time, she noticed a security camera in the corner of the room. She then noticed her luggage was right next to her bed.
Out of nowhere the door opened showing two adults, one looking to buff for his age. Which Marinette made a mental note of. The other adult looked like a detective. But seriously, his outfit is way out of date for a detective. Besides, the outfit was meant to be a stereotype... right? Thought Marinette as the adults came in the room walking to her as they closed the door.
"Hello young Lady," said the buff dude. "Ummm, salut (hi)?" questioned Marinette as she let out a nervous laughter, while waving at the two adults in the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And that concludes Chapter 2!
What should happen next in the story? Who's quirks would Marinette have to take away for the greater good? What kind of questions should detective Tsumachi ask Marinette?
Please note that you don't have to answer the questions, but it is greatly appreciated for some ideas to continue this book. Based on the ideas you ask.
Anyways, Chapter 3 won't be coming in a while due to me having a lack of ideas and that I have other books to write chapters for.
Anyways see all of you in Chapter 3!
