“Come on, guys, can’t we do this another time?” Jack groaned as he stopped and dropped his bag, his shadow overcome by four familiar other ones that overtook it in the setting sun. He stared at them grow along the sidewalk before him, not really feeling like turning around to greet his unwanted company. “I’ve got practice to get to.”
“Practice for what?” one of the boys laughed. “I don’t see any sports equipment.”
“Besides, we need you for our practice,” another said, grinning viciously as he punched a palm. Jack didn’t see it, but he could hear and picture it happening behind him. The boy doing it was just that cliche. “Target practice.”
The redhead rolled his eyes, his back still to the other teens, until one of them roughly grabbed him by the shoulder to spin him around.
“Hey! We’re talkin’ to you, Burn-It!”
“You know, that corruption of my name’s not even funny or clever,” Jack answered, sounding nonchalant. When the four other guys began to close in on him, eyes narrowing and teeth clenching as his comment, he sighed. “Fine. Just hurry up and get it over with.”

Chara didn’t really feel up to patrolling tonight, to his own surprise. To be honest he really just wanted to go home and nap. Exam season was coming up soon and with all the studying and test trials for his crossbreeding experiments at school, he was more than a little exhausted. Plus, with the wounds from that damned youma attack at the power plant still fresh and stitched up, he was in no real shape to fight.
But, Chara was nothing if not stubborn and still did his nightly rounds, sticking close to the more populated areas where he knew other senshi enjoyed patrolling, juuuust incase things got hairier than he could handle.
Oddly enough the first thing he saw in the dying sun’s light, the first enemy of the night wasn’t a youma or a crazy a** corrupted senshi, but a bunch of assholes getting ready to pummel the s**t out of some kid. As much as he felt it was beneath him to try to save someone from some other humans when powered up as Chara, as they were just following the oddly cruel order of nature and it wouldn’t be a fair fight at all, but…
Well s**t, wasn’t that Jack over there about to get his a** kicked again? Served the little dickwad right after that whole thing about being a loner and what not. Still… Couldn’t just let someone he knew get their a** kicked even IF they might have deserved it.
With a heavy sigh, Chara jumped down from his perch on the roof top, placing himself between Jack and the boys who were about to whoop his a**. <******** off, a** hats.” He said simply, ignoring the odd looks he was getting from them. Muttering his attack, he flung the little chocolate drops at their feet, knowing that it wasn’t going to harm them in the least. But THEY didn’t know that. “Leave the little human alone, whatever he said isn’t worth you getting your asses handed to you by me.”

Jack’s first thought upon seeing Chara was No. His next thoughts were, Not him. Why’d it have to be him?! And the ones after that were, Of course if it was anyone, it would be him. Why wouldn’t it be? My day was going so spectacularly already.
He tried to use the distraction of the crazy, costumed newcomer to get himself free, but his captors had learned from the last time he’d pulled that stunt after they had been preoccupied with watching Benji. They held onto him firmly and punched him again for good measure so as to keep him from struggling too much or getting any funny ideas.
“‘Human’?” one of the older teens laughed. “What are you, some kind of alien who thinks he’s above us? If you’re such a fan of asses, how about we hand you your own?”
Laaaame. They’re all so lame! Jack thought silently, reminded of some poorly-written superhero comic strip. Being subjected to this s**t is worse torture than getting beaten up!
“Why don’t you ******** off, fancy pants?!” he hollered at Chara, surprising the four boys that had ganged up on him. They all turned to stare, but Jack was only focused on the White Mirror Senshi. Of course Chara wouldn’t have been able to recognize him as a civilian, but Jack sure recognized him. “No one wants your stupid chocolates! You planning to send defenseless teenagers to the hospital?”
“Chocolates?” A kid not holding Jack stared at the smoldering, steaming missile that had hit the ground at their feet and realized that it did smell unexpectedly of the confection. “He’s trying to threaten us with chocolates?!”
“Get ‘em!”
The two gripping the redhead remained where they were, one of them having been the one to have issued the command to the two others. Said others both came at Chara at once as if to grab him or tackle him to the ground. Jack simply looked on, his expression growing darker by the second.

Why in the ******** did this ******** redheaded a*****e of a boy even say anything? Oh, right, because of some stuck up ******** reason of him needing to ‘be on his own’. Though Chara would admit, even HE was surprised that the boy could so readily identify his attack as chocolate, and even more so that the other boys tried to fight him. Didn’t they know he was some sort of ‘terrorist’ or something? A boy not meant to be messed with?
Ah well, it was too late for talks, it seemed, and as soon as the boys made to tackle him, he just side stepped out of the way. There was no point in really fighting them all… BUT there was one particular boy who was getting on his nerves, and that was the apparently leader. So after the side step, he grabbed the boy’s arm and twisted it hard behind him, squeezing the fingers that were there just tight enough to hear a pleasant pop of them from their sockets.
Forcing him down to his knees, mainly due to height reasons, partially for the intimidation factor, he leaned in close, squeezing the already dislocated fingers further from their sockets. And he spoke, just loud enough for the teen on his knees to hear.
“So… You like to pick on people half your size, huh? Does it make you feel powerful? Bullying little shitheads like that boy there? Well… Even s**t heads have allies somewhere.” The hand that had found it’s way to the back of the other boy’s neck after forcing him down made it’s way to his shoulder now, and Chara pulled that arm in his grip further… And further… and just a little further until that too popped out of it’s socket. Satisfied with his own bit of torture and not feeling a bit of guilt towards it, Chara planted a rather mild kick to the boy’s back, sending him into the pavement. He wasn’t stupid enough to use his full force against assholes like these, but a little more strength than tiny ol’ Benji had wouldn’t hurt.
Then, his gaze turned up to Jack, realizing how dark that look was. A bit of curiosity spiked his mind as to what was so goddamn worthy of such a look, then he decided it was likely that Jack was just going through his now-familiar tirade of ‘manipulating people blah blah bullshit’ and brushed it off.
With one boy on the ground and nearly howling in pain, Chara pulled his eyes away from Jack and looked at the remaining bullies.
“Wanna try that again?”

The other teens continued to watch as one of Chara’s attackers screamed once his fingers were dislocated. There was one small miscalculation the senshi made, however. The one who had given the orders to the other two and who had learned from Jack’s previous escape was the real brains of the group and more a leader than the one Chara had on the ground. He glanced at Jack while the assumed leader was being harassed by the sailor scout and spoke in low tones.
“That’s an interesting look on your face,” he noted with an odd sort of calmness. “You don’t like this guy, do you?”
Jack shook his head almost imperceptibly.
“Then you won’t mind if I sneak up on him from behind, will you? You won’t tell, or run away?” The young man gave the redhead a studied look. “If you stay and help, we might even be able to cease having these little sessions of ours. What do you say?”
The original victim gave one brief nod to acknowledge and the other boy smirked.
“Good.” Then he released Jack and gestured to Jack’s other holder to do the same. The pair snuck around the commotion as Chara was just finishing dislocating the other boy’s arm.
Jack remained where he was. When Chara was finished and looked up to see him glaring, he asked, “You’re a sick, sadistic son of a b***h, aren’t you?”
And at that moment, the other two teens pounced on the senshi from either side simultaneously.

Chara wasn’t some sick and sad little bullshit of a basic senshi, still wet behind the ears when it came to fighting. And he wasn’t so stupid to let his guard down, even if it was just a bunch of regular people who were honestly as threatening as that one chaos cat he encountered a few weeks ago. So when the others decided to try sneak up on him, he allowed them to step out of their little shadows and try to catch him by ambush, but like hell he was going to let that happen!
As soon as they tried to pounce, he lunged forward, stepping on the back of the boy he had been sprawled out before him from his earlier assault. His target this time wasn’t the bullies who had gotten Jack into this predicament in the first place, but Jack himself, who he grabbed by the front of his shirt and pressed their faces close together.
“Oh, you have no ******** idea, Jack-o.” Snarling, Chara decided he had enough of these childish little games and decided it was a good time to leave without any further issues. And if he were to do that, he was going to take Jack with him, in the roughest way possible. Chara pulled away for just a second, before leaning down and shoving his shoulder into Jack’s stomach, wrapping his arms around the back of his legs and hoisting him up onto his narrow shoulder. Being as small as he was, it was awkward, with his small frame probably jabbing Jack in the most shameful of ways, but he didn’t care. After all, he wasn’t being nice anymore, not with this ******** instigator. Luckily, he was a Super Senshi hand had the right strength needed to make sure Jack didn’t go splat like a pancake once he began to move again. Holding him tight, Chara gave a mighty leap, scaling the walls between the alley until he made it onto the roof where he all but tossed Jack on the ground.
Now that they weren’t being threatened by a bunch of ******** trying to attack him, he allowed himself to give that injured shoulder a quick squeeze, making sure none of those stitches had torn themselves. Sure, he wouldn’t have torn one fighting those civilians, but he might have lugging Jack around.
Speaking of Jack, he turned back towards the boy and gave the most hateful glance he could muster.
“You’re one shitty a** person, aren’t you?” Chara’s words were cold, dripping with ice he had never used on any one else except for maybe Alkaid herself when she had attacked and tormented him. “Well… If you want to die, I’ll give you that wish, right ******** now.”
Again, he was on him, his hand about his throat, tight enough that would make it hard to breath but not impossible. Why was he doing this? Why was he being so cruel to this kid right now? He couldn’t tell, he couldn’t quite place what triggered such rage, but if he had any idea, it might have been the lingering remains of chaos that had been pumped into his chest not too long ago, and that chaos just made him hate Jack more than anything in this life.
“Say something. Say something I ******** dare you, Jackie. Say it.”

Though Jack was unphased by the other boys’ inability to take down the super senshi and he could have maybe guessed he would have been grabbed by his collar since it happened so often regardless of whether he was powered up or not, he certainly hadn’t expected to be rammed in the stomach and abducted. His eyes widened at the assault and he doubled over in pain, making it fairly easy for Chara to grab him and carry him off. He felt nauseous as he was hauled upward while bent over the senshi’s shoulder, his stomach still aching and threatening to expel its contents out of protest. He just barely managed to keep it down as they reached the rooftop and he was dumped like a sack of potatoes.
Wincing at the impact, he looked up slowly to see Chara glowering loathingly at him. “...I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he muttered, clutching his stomach. He was still trying to sort out how the guy knew his name, since he was pretty sure the only one that had been mentioned since the other boys had shown up had been that stupid nickname of theirs, and he wasn’t even sure Chara had heard that.
Jack barely had time to think or recover, however, when the other teen was suddenly gripping his throat, causing him to cough, choke, and gasp for air. Perhaps it would have been easiest and in his best interests to keep quiet, but he had a feeling that both he and Chara knew he wasn’t about to do that.
“You sure...you’re a...White...Moon...Senshi?” he forced out, doing his best to watch the other teen as his vision began to blur.

Chara’s free hand darted out fast to smack Jack across his cheek, doing his best to restrain that force he used, but damn was it hard. Part of him wanted to just choke the hell out of Jack, leave him to his struggles until he passed out, and he just couldn’t understand why. Why did he want to just ******** murder this boy so badly right now. It wasn’t until after his palm had met Jack’s face that the words registered in his head and the hand on his throat opened to drop Jack back down again.
“Hrmph, the White Moon senshi aren’t ALL a bunch of prissy happy go lucky pampered assholes.” And it was true. There even used to be a court of senshi who were still White Moon but incredibly bloodthirsty. If they had been around when he had first awakened, maybe he would have even joined them.
“Are you really going to keep talking? Can’t you ever ******** shut up? Do you think people like listening to you whimper like a little ******** dog with it’s tail between it’s legs, trying to bark out word after word even though you know that someone’s coming around to beat you again for making a sound?” He moved again to Jack’s side, placing his heel in the middle of his chest.
“I’ll give you one last chance. Keep your <********> mouth shut.”

Jack couldn’t do much as he was still desperately trying to get enough oxygen into his system, but when Chara finally dropped him, he gasped like a fish on the ground, palms out to break his fall. At the senshi’s questions, he forced a laugh and shook his head.
“You’re wrong,” he said with a now-raspy voice. “Dogs wouldn’t bark if they got kicked for it. Humans aren’t that smart. Normally I’d probably do my best to stay alive in this situation, but since I get the feeling you want to kill me anyway and I know I have no chance to fight back or escape, I might as well go down fighting the only way I know how.” He raised his eyes to meet caramel ones again and cast him a broken grin. “Bark.”

That did it. Chara couldn’t take a single word from Jack anymore and his hands grabbed his throat, squeezing it tight. But not tight enough, no, not with that senshi power that coursed through his body, just his normal, human strength, just enough to watch him suffer while the life was slowly drained from his body.
And it felt good. It felt so ******** good.
And it felt good. It felt so ******** good.
Quote:
Jack couldn’t stand to see his sight slowly slipping from him and shut his eyes. He didn’t know what the ******** was wrong with this senshi, but there was nothing he could do about it. He was going to die and he couldn’t even transform to defend himself. Well, he’d always known that his big mouth would probably end up being his downfall, but this? It was so...anti-climactic. Disappointing.
“‘Killing civilians is unforgivable,’” a Dark Mirror Senshi quoted as they leapt over from a nearby rooftop to knock Chara down. “...Isn’t that what you told me the last time we met? That you’ve never changed that way of thinking and that you’ve ‘always said it’.” Ptolemaeus raised a brow as he looked the White Moon Senshi over. “Did you change your mind after all?” His eyes flew back and forth across the younger teen as if he could read him like a book. “Or did someone else actually do what I threatened to and corrupt you since then?”

Chara was way too entranced by watching Jack slowly but surely pass out that he hardly noticed the Chaos aura approaching him. It wasn’t until he was knocked away from Jack, hands slipping free of the other’s neck and himself rolling across the ground did he even acknowledge the aura. And when he looked up, he felt another low growl emerged from his throat. Of course it was Ptolemaeus. Of, ********, course. <******** off, Ptolemaeus!” Rising to his feet, Chara already began to summon his attack to his hand, ready to fight the other in that moment. Not only was he pissed at the other for stopping his attack on Jack, but he was still incredibly bitter about Valentine’s day and how the other had threatened him, which of course he brought up.
And yet those words did strike him, and he STILL believed them even if Jack was on his s**t list.
“No one’s ******** corrupted me yet, no thanks to you, b*****d! Only, you know, sticking their ******** dirty a** hands in my chest and giving my starseed a ******** chaotic massage! It’s like your threat just kinda opened the doorway for these assholes to harass me nonstop!” There was no mistaking just how pissed Chara was, and his eyes looked down at Jack on the ground once more.
“And this ******** right here... Civilian my a**, he’s a ******** instigator and set people to attack me when I was trying to ******** HELP him. The world would be better off without him!”

When Jack was knocked from Chara’s grip, he hacked and coughed, forcing air back into his deprived lungs as fast as he could. He rubbed his neck and tried to regulate his breathing, staring at the two senshi from off to one side, scrambling to get as far away from the fight as he could. “...You call that help?” he muttered hoarsely. “And I didn’t set anyone on anyo-”
“Shut up, kiddo,” Ptolemaeus warned Jack, keeping his sights and mirthless grin trained on Chara. “I think you both need a time-out for a bit.” He began to walk toward the shorter senshi, ignoring the magic attack he was preparing. “You really going to try those with me, Kisses? Again?”

A somewhat satisfied feeling came to Chara as Ptolemaeus also told Jack to shut up. So it wasn't just Chara whose nerves he got on.
“A time out? Are you ******** kidding me?” What was he, some child?! But… He was right, this was no time to let his magic and the Dark Mirror's mix, not if he wanted to leave this situation with some sort of dignity.
“Back off, a*****e… You're not part of this, and we BOTH know if we fight, I’ll kick your a**! I don't need magic to beat you into the pavement!”

“Feel free to try. I just plan to sit on you,” Ptolemaeus answered. “Or lay on you if I have to. You need to cool down until your temper tantrum’s up.” Sighing, he muttered under his breath, “You really are like my kid sister…it pisses me off. Alright, c’mere...”
Not seeming to bother with Jack or what he saw, Ptolemy got down on his knees next to Chara and grabbed the other teen’s waist so he could pull him back to the ground.

Chara was more than ready to fight, his hands ready and willing to ball up and land a punch to Ptolemy’s gut. But the arms came about him, pulling him back down to the ground and pulling his attention away from Jack, only for a second. And he felt the rage ease away, as it always did when the older senshi was around. It never made any sense, how this agent of Chaos had such control over his emotions, even after his threats and taunts.
“Ptolemaeus, get off of me.” He muttered, half heartedly attempting to pry his fingers off of him. “That little s**t is going to get away.”

“And what are you going to do with him if you catch him again? Kill him?” Ptolemy asked nonchalantly, half his body draped over Chara’s. “Is ‘that little s**t’ worth wasting your time on when there are probably hundreds of other youma out there for you to go waste?”
Quote:
Dammit… God dammit he was right, and in admitting it, Chara slumped over, sending Jack a hateful glare before muttering a soft ‘fine’ and leaving that mess of a boy be.
“You suck Ptolemy.. Fine, I’ll let him go. Someone else can punt his dumbass. Now you let ME go. And stop bugging me all the time, I told you before I’m done with you, got it?”

“Mmm, I know I do,” the Dark Mirror Senshi answered with a grin, reaching out to playfully tweak Chara’s nose. “And I’ll let you go...so long as you assure me I won’t catch you going around trying to kill helpless people again. Can you do that?” he asked, already starting to ease up the pressure of his weight on the smaller teen’s body.
Jack, meanwhile, continued to sit off to the side and stare at the two senshi incredulously. He was sorely tempted to stick out his tongue at Chara, but managed to hold himself back. His mind was still occupied turning over where the other teen might have heard or known his name from because it continued to bother him to no end.

“Fine… Fine. I won’t kill helpless people. I wasn’t -trying- to kill helpless people. I was trying to squish an insignificant little roach. How is that even the same? But if it takes that ******** promise to make you let me go, then fine. “ Upon being let go of, Chara stood, the temptation to go and punt Jack off the roof was strong and hard to ignore, but he tried anyway. For the sake of not being lectured by Ptolemy any more or having his words thrown back at him.
“Now will you please ******** off? Please? Shoo, go on and do whatever the hell it is you do besides stalking me.”

“Mmhmm.” Ptolemy knew he could argue for hours with Chara about the difference between a person and a roach, but even though he maintained a calm air, he was still disturbed by the act that he had caught the White Mirror Senshi in the middle of. Getting up off the other teenager, he continued to ponder just what kind of effect chaos must have had on one’s starseed to change a person’s personality so drastically.
Even so, the senshi of change stood between Chara and Jack, his back to the latter, to make sure the senshi of chocolate couldn’t try anything else without him knowing. “Yeah, yeah, alright. And Chara…” He turned his thoughtful gaze on the shorter sailor scout. “Don’t lose yourself out there, okay?”

”Yeah, yeah, lose myself, whatever.” Chara had no time nor patience for Ptolemaeus for the older teen, and turned on his heel to leave, the opposite direction from where Jack was headed. That should be good enough for Ptolemaeus, he hoped. The chaos that plagued Chara’s starseed seemed to have dissipate, satisfied by the near murder of Jack.
Chara, however, began to feel incredibly guilty for the whole affair. He honestly hadn't meant it to go so far… He just… lost control. It felt horrible in its aftermath… like he needed to scrub his skin clean.
Not that he could tell this to Ptolemy or anyone really. For now, he just wanted to go home.

Once Chara was out of earshot - or what Jack thought would have been far enough out of earshot, anyway - he picked himself up, dusted himself off, and asked, “So what was that all about?”
“He didn’t mean it,” Ptolemy said, still watching the White Moon Senshi. “Something’s wrong with him. I don’t know what it is, but I’ll find out.”
